On Tuesday Evening the Peoples Party "ot Manti convened 10 select delegates to the County Convention. Mayor Luke was in the Chair Three names were placed before the meeting, namely: John La wry, Sr.doseph Judd and Ezra Shomaker. There was qaite an animated discus-sion abotr. Mr. Low iy and he was drop-ped, but the other two went in all right. We have not learned who the third one was. In commenting on this caucus it is said by some among whom stands ihe Reg ster that a good and able man was dropped. The one selected in h.s stead may be epually as good, we cannot say as to that as we don't know who itim' but we do feel satisfied he can be no better than Mr.John Lowry. LATER.We learn that the animated dis-cussion at the Manti Caucus was brought about through what is known as the "Defence Committee," which has been organized in Manti lor the protection of Mantis claim to the County Seat, pres-enting the above three names as having been selected by said committee as the delegates to the County Convention.

To be candid Mr. Editor, f dont think that thete is any necessity for but one argument, and that is w hich is the great-est good to the greatest number, and Heel certain that I can show to any and every uupiedjudiced mind that the location of the County Seat in Ephiam would do that.

Editor -- Ephraim has some claim 011 the County Seat, as well as Manti; although, forsooth, sha has not yet issued one inch of a circular. Since you have invhed a discussion of this question in the RKGisi liR, I will lay beloie vou a few of our claims. I know, though I am not one of the committee, Jf neither am I ;,"schemii.g politician, "ihat Ephiaim can bring more logical argu-ments into one squaie inch, or in one line of type, than the whole Manti circu-lar contains, lint, Air. Editor, it is only the one w ho has the weak end of Ihe de-bate that pulls down hisadversaiy iather than advance arguments ol his ow n; and that is not my position, s I shall s ,y no moie about Alanti, or her circular, but go right into the matier in hand. These are a lew ol my arguments: 1st. The saving of lime and money by the County Seat being cenlially located. (I expect to by igures, that the County Seat at Ephiaim, would save the county thousands of dollars more than at any other point,) 2d. Being centially located there could be a more equita'jle destitution of county" officers among the various towns. 3id.

The County Seat, AgainDiscu3S3d.This Time by j Other Partie3. Mount-Plesa- nt and Ephraim' Show their Claims Ephraim'H Donhle Caucus. People's Party 'aucu3C3- Mt. Pleasant. June .Vitii. Editor Rkcistkk. -- I read the article from V. A. L. of Mauti, and also that wonderful document entitled "An to the People of San r'eie" issued by the Defense Comiiiitt e of Manti, Oh, shades ol old Hickory Jackson! how can mtn pit such arguments against the will of the people! Your conespi tident can, alone and single handed, show better leisoiis why Mtl'leasaut would be a better location forthe County Seat, tlnui Manti Mt Pleasant will, doubtless, statelier claims in a formal and public way; but trusting to your piomise to let all be heard, I have a wi.h to state my own md 'pendent views on this topic; audi think many others will eudoise them. You are, Mr Registkr, bound to titter the voic? of the whole county, and that is quite right; it is your business, duty ami pleasure; hut I, as a Mt Pleas, ant man, have a light to advocate my location in p articular, so I nig as I don't say anything unfair of other locations I will say to begin with, that the RiiGisri'.R seems to please all, 1 hear it well spoken ol on all sides, and I think it will receive hearty support in our town. Mt Pleasant has been called The Queen City of Sin 1'ele, 111 acc uut of its beaut'.lul iocati.ni. lis growing popu-lation, its public and piogu-ssn- spun, and for oilier reasons; ai.d 1 think the name fits well. The (Jueen City, altii' ii'h not (he oldest in S in Pete, lanks liist in popu lalion, wh le Mauti must stand lli.nl 111 rank. Tnis is one good leasoii that she should aspiie to the honor in question. She is tile most piogiessive town; in witness i f which I point w ith piide to her business houses, which are much larger and m ire numeioiu tiia.i those of Manti, and more business is tlieie trans-acted by all odds. She is located is the center of popu-latio- i ; and it cannot be denied that the place most convenient of access to the greatest ntimVr of business nnjii is most saitable for the County Seat. Within a ladms of ten miles from here, we have Moioni, Fauvieiv, Spring Cily, Chester and Mt. IVasant; and these live towns must include more than 7 750 inhabitants; which is more than one tii.rd of the population of the whole county. The legisteitd voters are esiim ited at iibout ;o percent of the whole population, an.J Hiking tins as a suiting point, wc may place the figures to represent the population of San Pete Co. at about 17,- - 000.. .

WOnld l'urtA.M ii'V' 'II',.' ii)nu.in.ilM '" I tl2 Maim KpiiMMltl taxi titnimg.'v , Eveii Kpliranu could ..da . belter, ' than that, for a circle of equal size, ncluding Epllni'in, Manti, Sptii g City, Chester and Wales, would embiace a oopulation of neariy 7,000. Hut Mt Pleasant ranges higher than Ephraim and as a reason in such a case,' the nu-- , nifrir;i! ooint is a urn d cue. Our natural resources-ar- e epiite as good as those of Mauti , and in this line we will agree to match anything she can show. She claims the Temple, which belongs to us just as much as to her; but what it has to do willi politics is a query, liven liiarr.age licenses must, according t law be obtained in a man's own precinct, and if he goes there to get married without one just let him ti'ot back and get it. The lake can hav j no possible connect on w tn coart bus l ess, any 111 jre ill an if it were in any other spot than it isj.ind for the Cemetery, why 1 have never heard that any man cared to be bulled at the County Seat. I may be dense, bin since county courts never mete out capital punisnmeiits, I fail to see why a convenient cemetery should figure in c'a losing a County Seat, I think I have advanced tour good leasons why Mt Pleasant would be a good location, viz: (jjod naluial resour-ces, A progressive people, Center of population, and Delightlnl location. There aie other arguments which might be adduced, but these seem sulli cient, and I would I ke to suggest that Manti is favored q lite enough in having our Teni;!e as an ornament, a glory and a bles-m- in bti.igi.ig as it djes yearly thrones .if tile best psople ol Utah to s ijourn in her midst, and she c ui afford t ) lose so small matter as tne C unity Seat. Ephraim counts on v becoming a railroad town, as well as oiuselves, in tua near future, and has the bulge on us in getting up the livest piper w thin a hundred miles, and has the Siake Academy into the bargain S.ie would be unreasonable to grab for all the resr, so let. us hear no w hining liotnhei because we conclude to pull in the County Seal but we'll doit if she does bluboer so, iheu!

Air. Rasmus Clawson gave the same leason for holding the County Seal Caucus hist but it being shown that the People's Caucus would be the shortest he wilhdiew his objections and Ihe meeting progressed.

Peterson was named as one of the del-egates! the Ml. Pleasant convention. Before the motion went the house, J. P. Meilstrup suggested that a coniiuitee of three on nomination lie appointed by the Chair. This question was discussed by J. r. Meilstrup. Rasmus Clawson, C. V. Peterson and Parian McFailaiie for, and J. C. Peterson and Peter I'eleisoi, against. Finally Mr. Peteison wilhdiew his motion and r. Meilstrup put his suggestion in the lorin ofsa motion which canied without a dissenting vote. On moiion of Win. Rowden ihe num-ber was raised to five and the Chairman oppointed C. M.

The committee then retired to make selection and Judge McEailane was called for a speech to which he respond-ed in a shoit bt veiy J oil. ted niMu.et.

The other day a party ol gentlemen were up in the Canyon on an out when one ol the men came very near being shot. The boys were all off fishing but Mr. Charles Chiistenson (Pjieaisonjaiid a Mr. Wallace, ol Ogden , weie at the wagon. Mr. Christenson was sitting down by the hind wheel of the wagon and Mr. Wallace was standing, with his shot gun in hand by the back of the wagon when from some cause or other the gun went oil and cut a hole through the wheel, not more than an inch from Mr. Cluisteiison's heal. Charles savs this is as close a call as he has had yet. Notes from Norway A traveling chinch, not church mem-bers, but one of mateiial wood is indeed a novelty; but such a one does really exist. The wooden chinch (Stavekiik) in Vang in Valders in Norway, was sold in 1841 for 80 d .Hats to the Prussian king William the 4th. ai d by him presented to the people ol a small village inSehlesian Cermany. Tiie village then took ilie name of Vang in honor of their old Nor-wegian I'huicii. The village has now incieased its popuiatiion so much that the want of a larger church is felt, and consequently (he old "lie must give way; but the Soc eiy for the preservation of Norwegian antiquities, in Krisliana ate now negotiating for the old lelic, and will no doubt gladly pay a high piice lor it and bring it back to its native laud. EGYPTIAN PRINCES TO VISIT NORWAY Official notice has been given, that two sons ol Ihe Kedive of Egypt, the crown prince Abas Uei and prince Meliemed All Bei will airive m Ktistiania in June. The oldest prince is 16 years old and the other 15 years old;and they ale calculated to visit points of inteiest in the northern countries, and will proceed as far as North Cape. They aie accompanied by a princely retinue, consisting mostly of European oflicers in the Ked ve's service. SALE OFPLxNK.'S LAKE. It is stated that a company, through their agent, Mr. Maxwell, have pur-chased Funk's Lake. The price paid was $ 8,000. Mr. Maxwell said that almost be-fore the transfer was made, the pur-chasing company sold to an outside party a three-fourth- s interest for the snug little sum of 20,000, pretty good bargain for only a few days possession. It was further stated that the pre-sent company intend to put $25,000 into improving the place, SUCh as building a pavillion, dancehouse, boats, swings and other attractions. They intend to put up several sa-loons, " and one party w ent so far as to say it was the intention to put up a house of prostitution. This the Register sincerely hopes is not cor-rect, as such use of that beautiful spot, made so by one of Utah's Pio-neers, would be a desecration of the intent of the originator, and it would almost seem that the old gentleman's spirit would hardly rest if such were done. The entire commnntiy, we are sure, would oppose such a plan. Let us have the Lake beautified, not polluted by such an institution. R. G. W. Railroad. Word reached us Monday that several of the camps on the railroad grade between Thistle and Indianola had moved to this side of the latter place. The grade for eight miles is com-pleted and very little more work will complete it to Indianola, in fact it is nearly finished the entire distance. The Indians are some of them kickingagainst the railroad company, not because the road runs through their farms, but because the road docs not. The reason for this is because the railroad company pays for the land, through which their road runs and those who cannot sell their farms are jealous of their neighbor's luck. A letter from a woolen manufact-urer in Albany, Wis., has been as follows':- -l see you want a " woolen mill started in your city. What amount would you subscribe toward a plant that would employ from 50 to 100 men? I am a prac-tical manufacturer and can put in from $5, 000 to $10,000. For a mill that would giveemplojment to from 50 to 100 men it would require a capital of from $60,000 to $80,000. Ensign.
