| Show the district court we have calef carefully tilly perused the proceedings of 0 the third judicial district court of the uni ual united ed states for this territory hon C E sinclair presiding now sit bit sitting in this city as furnished by our reporter and especially the charge to the grand jury which having been delivered extempore was corrected and revised by the judge before going into the hands of the compositor some of the sentiments therein expressed we cons consider der appropriate and just while there are others that we cannot endorse they are too absurd not being accustomed to lauding flauding thosa those whose acts and expressions of sentiments are in accordance cor dance with our ideas of right to any great extent nor to the too common practice of finding fault with every thing that is seen and beard that does not correspond exactly with our notions and views we do not intend to say much nuch either one way or the other about the court nor its proceedings during the ses sea session slon sion BO so long as it reasonably keeps within its legitimate sphere of action even if utterance should occasionally be given to doctrines illegal and unjust in the extreme unless attempts be made to put them in practice we shall publish the doings of the court from week to week or such portions thereof as we may select that our readers may know what is passing and be able to judge of the merits or demerits of the proceedings ce for themselves tilee is bisone isone one thing however that we feel to commend and that is the course which the judge has avowed he intends to take in relation to admitting members to the bar the course that has been pursued heretofore by the courts in this territory in licensing attorneys has been ridiculous and calculated to bring the profession into disrepute with intelligent men at least if not with the entire community individuals divi duals of no legal knowledge whatever officers of the army merchants merchant merchants clerks loafers gamblers doctors transient traders of all kinds etc etc have been ad milled to practice in the district courts and in a the supreme courts of the united states for this territory some of them not knowing the difference between a capias ad respondendum and a da demurrer nor the difference between I 1 either of those and adlea to of a court this lax way of admitting members to the bar was in consonance with most of the judicial ial lal proceedings of those courts and the lawyers thu thus made were as fit for judges as the judges who admitted them were for lawyers as a general thing so fa f a as learning was concerned A reforming Are re formin relation to this subject was much needed for various reasons that might ba bal stated ignorance in professional men and especially in lawyers is unbearable and the worst of it is too many of them ultimately through 0 the instrumentality of unprincipled friends find their way to the bench troublesome capt howard egan the energetic agent t for the california and salt lake mail line who camo cams in from the road en on thursday last reports that the indians in the vicinity of shell creek station about 00 miles out are very troublesome and have been ever since that station was established hia fia having ving been continually stealing and killing the animals and at two or three several times drove droye off nearly all the stock belonging to the mail company that were kept there on the uit by means sf beacon fires kindled on the surrounding hills the night previous about fifty of the old inhabitant inhabitants ss collected in the vicinity and sent word to some friendly indians who were at the he station that they had better leave as they intended to make an attack upon the post and destroy it kill the men and ands drive off the stock luckily about the time the men were thus apprised of their danger I 1 mr air harrison severe superintendent of the indian tarm tarn at deep creek fifty miles this side of shell creek arrived at the station and from his bis acquaintance with the indians and knowledge of their language prevailed on the belligerents to abandon their design 0 and disperse mr severe informed capt egan a as lie came in that but for his big timely arrival an attack would have been made and as the there were only five men at the station they would i unquestionably have been overcome by the I 1 indians without much difficulty I 1 these nese indians are represented as ra being in aj suffering KUff erIng n condition having bat little to subsist upon and cannot be induced to join their red brethren at the indian farm at deep creek because there is nothing there for them to eaty eat cat and the superintendent does not choose to f furnish ur them with provisions INDIAN MURDE MURDERS Rs by reference to the communication muni cation from judge jude wright published in another column it will be seen that according 1 to indian reports which from atte attending anding circumstances cum stances we have no doubt are very near correct several deml emigrants have been recently murdered on the northern no athern route to california in the vicinity of goose creek mountains we understand that dr forney the superintendent of indian affairs will leave today to day for that section of country to inquire into the matter and that prompt measures will be taken to have ilare a detachment of troops sent out immediately to protect the emigrants and prevent further aggressions on the part of the indians on that route when the matter is fully investigated it may be made to appear that the report e is too true that weite white men were the firt first aggressors THE tiie ELECTION the general election on monday last in this city passed off with little or no excitement as there was no opposition to the peoples ticket in consequence of so many being busily engaged in haying baying andhor and har bar vesting getting 0 wood from the kenyons kan etc the number of votes polled was not tso so large as it would otherwise have been especially it if there here bad been some opposition CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY juny the charge of his honor judge jude sinclair to the grand jury published with the proceedings of the court in thi this s number as taken by our reporter was at judge Sin clairs request f furbished furbish urtA shed ed him by mr long on sunday for correction ard revision revision Unfortunate unfortunately lyt lys in consequence of the indisposition of the judge the whole of the charge barge has not been revised such as has not been we give as reported THE SALE of government mules wagons etc at camp floyd we understand has closed it is reported that the government property especially the mules brought higher prices than ever known before at similar sales most of the animals having been purchased by citizens e and not by speculators as some anticipated it is also reported hat that there will be another sale there sometime in september next it being reported that the number of teams at that post are to be reduced to some forty or fifty if it this be BO so the army in utah will thereafter be in a poor condition to enter at once upon an indian war it if one
