Numerous complamits have been made of the manner in which emigrants are treated by some of the empioyésin the baggage department at Castle Garden. It appears that when an emigrant applies for his luggage, somewhere in the interior of the building, and asks permission to be assisied by the expressman whom he has employed to convey it to the wagon outside, he is informed by some unruly fellow within that ‘‘no expressman can come in here; but, if you like, we'll give you an expresas man.” The emigrant repties, however, thathe has al- Tends ODeege a8), Sad slink bei avie like t0 bo uttorded wom Tecitties ube man, who {8 doubtless on ttle Ey ete x, “No ‘you don't; thera’s your ye axe em or leave ‘em. ‘Sais is shameful, A GLARING OUTRAGE that should be quicély seen to by those in authority.

Godbe, of Salt Lake City, known as one of the principal leaders of the opposition to Brigham Young’s theocracy, has been in the city a few days on business, and by accident was met by one of the HERALD reporters yesterday. As Mr. Godbe has come directly from Salt Lake City and 1s fully ad- ‘vised upon the condition of things there, and can can speak ex cathedra, the reporter succeeded in obtaining from him a very clear statement respect- ing both men and measures on botn sides of the Utah controversy.

It was simply the power of the Methodist Qhurch,. which, having signally failed m ita missionary enterprises to the Saints, now proposes to destroy them with Methodist governors, Judges and packed juries of the Methodist persua- sion.” What do you think of such astatement? A. It is simply not true. Ihad the honor of a lengthy Interview with President Grant soon after the liberal movement commenced, tn which I was much im- pressed with the rational view that he took of the situation of affairs in Utah. It was cenerally feared that thoge who had protested against the govern- ment of the priesthood in their temporal affairs, and who had openly avowed their determination of they have groaned for many years, ir.
