E. D. Wickins, AgL To The Public. In the issue of the Times of December was published Mercantile Excelsior the stating that had withdrawn its advertised Company cut prices on all classes of gqods. In this statement, vhich was based upon a misconstruction of words uttered by Mr. Jamea W. Paxman to the editor of the Times, a grevious injustice is not only done the Excelsior Company but also the Times. On investigation I find that the statement is wholly wrong and was based upon the misconstruction referred to. In justice not only to Mr. Paxman and the Excelsior Company and the Times I take this, tha earliest method of correcting the error made.

The President discussed at some length the Representations from various sources in behalf of fixing the first day of 1S93 as the day when Utah shall make her advent into the Union. There being no special official reason for earlier action, and there being so many reasons on behalf of this particular day, the President' expressed his desire to comply with the convenience of his subordinates. Senator Dubois made a representation of the courts to have ample of the dei-irnotice, and the President announced his intention to make his formal announcement early enough to adjust all their eases. The President wa3 in his usual good humor upon the happy settlement of all the old issues.
