Correspondence of the Radical. Brookdale, Rice Co., Kaic., ) January 30th, 1573. ) Since my last we have welcomed the advent of 1873, not that we would say aught against the one which, .like -Ua predecessors, has .gone into the valley and the shadow to, beseen and known no more until it shall comfort us oh the day of judgment, on the contrary we have rea son to bless the year that has just explr ed. Our progress.and prosperity aa a na tion and a people were most flattering. Our governmental affairs have been man aged so as to give satisfactory results to a great majority. Our relations with every civilized nation during- 1872 assumed a cordial character. As Individuals we have had the usual allotment of smiles and tears, clouds and sjaashine'. I find a number of your readers have their hearts and thoughts turned WSS|w#rd. I find, too, that all they can hear or read of Kansas makes this State their choice. I have now been in this State nearly eighteen months, and can truly say the longer I live here the better ! like tostay. We have had some extremely cold weather this winter. Mercury has been to twelve degrees below zero. Snow to the depth of ten inches fell before Christ mas, and it has not all disappeared yet. The cold weather has been uniform. We have not had any rain since the first of last November, nor do we expect any until Spring opens. We have had excel lent roads all winter, and have not been troubled quite so much with ‘‘gentle zeph yrs” this winter as we were last. Rice county is yet in its infancy, is barely able to walk alone. Has bad some little' difficulty in cutting its teeth in shape of railroad bonds, county seat, etc.* but still its progress has not been retard ed. Hutchinson’s Resources of Kansas (which, by the way, those of your read ers who think of emigrating'fihoflld pos sess,) says : "Rice county has a greater of-its size in the Slate.” jWe have no stagnant ponds, swamps or marshes, and consequently no malarious diseases. Pul monary diseases never originate here, and many persons who are afflicted with such complaints seek this section for relief. The air is pure and vigorous ; it is never damp. There is nothing to induce dis ease but everything to promote health. We have good water ami plenty of it, the whole Arkansas Valley being well water ed. The nights are delightfully cool even in the hottest part of summer. We were I troubled some last summer by mosqui j tos, and when the buffalo ranged here I the whole surface of the country was in fested with fleas. These disappear soon 1 after the buffalo leave.

Corn, oats and, all sons of vegetables, except cabbage, are easily raised the first year on the soil. Wheat as far as tried has proved a suc cess. The soil of the Arkansas bottoms is a rich, black sandy loam from three to eight feet deep. There is no rough rocky waste land in Rice county. The sand hills are covered with rich, nutritious grass and lucious wild plums- Grapes grow in abundance in the timber along the streams. The Little Arkansas flows through Rice county. It is about.seventy• five miles in length. Cow creek also flows through it. Cow creek is seventy miles long. Our house is built on the west bank of Cow creek. We are not more than three miles east of the centre line of the State. We are situated between the two great railroads of the State, the Kansas Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. This last road was complet ed to the State line on the first day of the present month and year. There has been laid since March, 1872, three hundred and sixty-two miles of road. The entire dis tance from Atchison to the State line is four hundred and seventy miles. The preliminary survey of the road from the Slate line to Ft. Lyon has been made and will be to Pueblo, Colorado, as soon as possibly. The road must be pushed on to aj profitable terminus in the cat tie regions and silver mines of Colorado, nor Will it stop until it reaches the Pacific and- hasbeep made the fair-weather, trans con tineirtttKtoute of the nation.

THE MORMON QUESTION. message from.; President Grant—Fed eral Laws to be Enforced In Utah— .furors to he Selected from Law-abldW ins Citizens. Washington, Peb. 14.—The President sent the following message to Congress today: To the Senate and House of Represen-- lativea : —I consider it my duty to call this attention of Congress to the condition of affairs in the Territory of Utah, and to the dangers likely to arise if U continues during the coming recess, from a threat ened conflict between the Federal and Territorial authorities. “ No discussion is necessary in regard to the general policy of Congress respect* Ing the Territories of the United States, I and I only wish now to refer to so much of that policy as concerns their judicial affairs and the enforcement of law within their borders. No material differences are found in respect to these matters in ' the organic acts of the Territories, but an examination of them will show that it has been the invariable policy of Congress to place and keep their civil and criminal jurisdiction, with certain limited excep tions, in the hands of persons nominated by the President and confirmed by . the Senate, and that the general administra tion of justice should be as proscribed by Congressional enactment. Sometimes Hie power given to tho Ter ritorial Legislatures has been somewhat larger and sometimes somewhat smaller than the powers generally conferred. Never, however, have powers been given to*a Territorial Legislature inconsistent with the idea that the general judicature of.lhe Territory was to be made under the direcl supervision of the National Goveremhnt. Accordingly the organic law creating tU%Te*iHory of Utah, passed September 9vided for the appointment of a Supreme Court, the judges of which are District Courts; a clerk, a ' UlBf r an,. attorney, and to these Titt impui taut mstlßrst*- Wt, as : decided recently by the Supreme Court, the act requires the jurors to serve in the courts to 4 be selected in such manner as the Territorial Legislature see fit to pre ; scribe. It has undoubtedly been the desire of Congress, so far as the same might be compatible with the supervisory control 1 of the Federal Government, to leave the minor details connected with the admin istration of law to regulation by local au thority, but such a desire ought not to govern when the eSect will be, owing to the peculiar circumstances of the case, to produce a conflict between the Federal and Territorial authorities, or to impede the enforcement of law, or in any way to endanger the peace and good order of the Territory. Evidently it was n to in trust the Territory e with power which would / creating judicatures of or incjeasing the jurisdiction ot courts appointed by the Territorial authority, although reeogniz ed by Congress, intake the administration of the law out of the hands of the judges appointed by the President, or to inter fare with their action. Several years of unhappy experience make it appear that in both of these respects the Territory of Utah requires special legislation by Con gress. Public opinion in that Territory, pro duced by circumstances too notorious to require further notice, makes it necessary in my opinion,, in order to prevent the miscarriage of justice and to maintain the supremacy of the laws of the United States and Federal Government, to pro vide that the selection of grand and petit j jurors for the District Courts, if not put under the control of Federal officers, shall be placed in the hands of persons entire ly independent of those who are deter- j mined not to enforce any act of Congress , „ _ ... . obnoxious to them, and also to pass some —The establishment of a Republic to. act which shall deprive the Probate Spain was celebrated at Madrid by a gen- Curts or any court created by the Terri- eral illumination.

Manifestly, the Legislature of the Territory cannot give to any court whatever, the power to dis charge, by habeas corpus* persona held by or under process from the courts created, by Congress; but complaints are mad* that persons so held have been discharged in that way by the Probate Oourts. I cannot doubt that Congress will agree with me that such a state of things ought ‘ not longer to be tolerated, and that no class of persons anywhere should be allowed to treat the laws of the United States with Open defiance and contempt. if Ci^gteas^ any action “upon Ws aua aisoraer , will follow, rendering’ miliary interfer ence necessary, a jeWlt I shou W great ly deprecate, and in view of this and othe? obvious considerations I earnestly recom mend that Congress, at the present ses sion, pass some act which will enable the District Court of. Utah to proceed, wijth independence,and efficiency, in the ad ministration of law and justice. U. S.
