A ItKllP.f.I.ION IN UTAH.
Judge Black : "Yes I Thcro is a life
nnd death struggle, going on between
tho people who are trying to savo their
right of local self-government and a
crow of godless wretches who are
straining every nerve to tako it from
them. Let mu explain : the settlers
who went thcro iu 1817 became organ
ized under a territorial government
which gave them all tho privileges of
a free conitnuhity, with a legislature of
their own to make their local laws,
and with officers of their own choico to
manage their local affairs. They ex
ercised this power with so much pru
dence that tho -community jjrowand
prospered exceedingly. Their indus
try and frugality were so universal that
extreme poverty became a thing un
known. Their ways were ways of
pleasantness, for they did justice aud
administered charity, not only to one
another, but to all who lived among
them and the stranger within their
gates. Leaving polygamy out of tho
question tho statistics show them to be
the most virtuous and upright people
that ever colonized a now country on
this continent. They had great nat
ural difficulties to overcome. Tho
valley of the great Salt Lake, when
they "went to it, was an arid desert so
barren' that Colonel Burger, who
knows it well, said ho would give
SI 000 for tho first biishel of wheat
that could bd'grown there. But by a
system of irrigation, admirably organ
ized, established by enormous labor,
and maintained by incessant vigilance,
together with steady and skillful culti
vation, they have made it a goodly
land of fruitful farms and thriving
towns. This great result could'have
been achieved only by a free peoplo
protected by laws of tho'r own
making, administered by officers of
their own choice. To take from them
their right of local self-government
would bo a visitation upon them worso
than a general conflagration."
"How could a chango in their gov
ernment produce such a disastrous ef
fect!'
Judgu Black : "I will tell you in a

wholo territorial government the prey
of thd'spoiler. Ho and his assistants
in tho iniquity will annihilate tho
power of tho peoplo to govern Ihem
selves so as to manage their own af
fairs iu any particular. Controlling
the local magistrates, the sheriffs and
constables thero will bo no check upon
their rapacity. Uwning every assessor,
collector, treasurer and custodians of
public money, they will revel m plun

be fatal. alio cannot stand what

Judgo Black : "I know that nearly
all Christain men and women condemn
it, becauso they conscientiously believe
it to bo inconsistent with tho teachings
of tho New Testament nnd the Gospel
as preached by the Apostles and settled
by the councils of the church. Their
reason and knowledge bring tiiem to
tho conclusion that polygamy is a feat
tiro of Asiatic manners which is wholly
unstated to America and Western
Europe. Thoy believe it not only a

Sowing Wheat. Experiments seem
to prove that a depth of from two to
three inches is the best at winch to sow
wheat. As to tho timo of sowing,
thcro seems to bo a growing disposi
tion to put it in rather later than was
wont to be the custom. Twenty-fivo
years ago wo got into the habit of
i sowing wucat. cuuy bu ,u iu uiiuuuiiiju
I early heading thu subsequent season,
and to escape tho midge. I lie latter
pest is rarely now injurious, aud tho
I Hessian fly, which is bred in tho earll
est sown wheat, is now more destruct
ive than tho mide. It may somo
times be good policy to sow land of
or'y moderate fertility qu'uo early, in
order to secure a good fall growth ;
but it is much better to tnanuro moro
heavily and sow later. With tho
ground frozen or covered with snow,
wheat would lie just under the surtaco
without injury. When it'Jcamo up tlio
danger of upheaval was less than
where the plants wero larger, on tho
principle that tho small plant has less
top in proportion to its root, than a
larger one. On tho dryest and richest
soils, very late sowing is the best for
securing heavy yields of wheal.
Another point iu favor of lato sowing
is that there is less danger ot tho
severance ot roots by tho tiosts, as
roots do not penetrate so deep when
sown late as when early sown. Trib
