Election of Delegates to Philadelphia by the Mormon Republican Convention— Frank Fuller and Tom Fitch “Have the Honor.” Sart LAKE Crry, April 6, 1872. The Mormon Republican Convention in ses- ion last evening, in tis city, elected Frank Fuller and Thomas Fitch delegates to the Phila- aelphia Convention, and George A, Smith and William Jennings alternates. The platiorm adopted is quite elaborate. It sets forth the repub- lican party had tts origin in the necessities of the nation, It was an embodiment of a demand Jor the purification of the government from corruptions growing out of numan slavery, and no party in his- tory has so grand a record: that the public policy of the administration, with a few exceptions, has been 4n full keeping with the high prestige of the repub- lucan party. The resolutions pledge the party to a continuance of the party measures of the past, with such modifi- cations as experience and exigence may suggest: deprecate the course of many federal officers in Utah, but express confidence that the administration will relieve the people from tne oppressions so long and patiently borne, and say that no portion of the people should be deprived of a voice in the election of those who execute laws; that the Territorial sys tem isto prepare the people for self-government, not to rob them of it, and it 1s the duty of the re- publican party to see that Otah be restored to her national rights. The delegation of merchants and mine owners to protest against the admission of Utan asa State left for Washington this morning. ‘The Senate failing to elect a United States Sena- tor, both houses to-day, in a joint convenuon, elected Thomas Fitch on the first ballot.

The annual conference of the Mormon Church began this morning. There was a great crowd. ‘Tne speakers gloried in the progress of the Mor- mon Church, which could not be retarded by the combined efforts of all existing powers. They said that every Presideut, judge, officer and priest opposed to the Mormons fell by the chastening hand of God. Personal Intelligence.

ANADA. The Ex-Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba Fore- shadowing the Future of the Do. minion—Self-Government, Self- Defence and Self-Reliance. DaMiuton, Ont., April 6, 1872, Hon, William MoDouga!l, formerly a memover of the Ottowa government and late Lieutenant Gov- ernor of Manitoba, lectured last night on the position of Canada as alfected by the re lations between England and the United States. He stated that he nad while in England discussed the question with Mr, Card- weil, with Earl Granville, with Mr, Gladstone and witn Mr, Adderly, the Under Secretary for the Colo- nies in the previous government, and the conclusion they had come to was this:— That all the parties recognized the change that had taken place in the position of Great Britain and were anxiously prepanng in every possible way to meet the new state of things, He had been forced to the conclusion that the policy ‘Was not to abandon the colonies nor to act 80 a3 to drive them away from their allegiance, but to pre- pare them for maintaining their own position by means of their own right hands, and to make them conscious that if an atttack was lev. elled against them they must depend mainly if not altogether upon their own resources to resist it, failing in which they must be prepared to accept tle consequences, whatever they might be, wiich tollowed invasion and conquest, Speaking for himself, and speaking freely, frankly, and truth fully, he was of the oplaton chat tne union of these pieraee was the preliminary step for the estab- ishment of a system of GOVERNMENT IN BRITISH AMERICA, which would enable us when tue moment arrived— when necessity pressed upon us—to maintain a Sepurate and independent existence among the nations of the earth. He believed that that idea was present to the minds of most if not all of those who took part in carrying out that great and important political change. But because they foresaw that which they believed must hap- pen; because they took the initial steps to put the country in position to maintain iwelf in case of war, was it tobe charged, as he saw some of the public press had charged, that they bad ulterior objects in view; that they had provea themselves disloyal to the Mother Country; that they had shown themselves to be the authors of dangerous measures and that they should, there- fore, be politically opposed and condemne He denied that they were open to such condemnation, and he referred to the phrase of Lord Monck about @ new nationality, and LORD LISGAR'S DECLARATION that alliance should now take the place of alle. giance, as well as to the repeated ovservations of the leading newspapers of England to establish the fact that what the public men of Canada foresaw was based upon @ correct misunderstanding of the opinion in the mother couulry, The whole aritt of that opinion was that of connection with Canada was a source of embarrass- ment irom which the mother country should be treed as soon as possible; and if English statesmen and the English press discussed the question 80 unreservedly without being subject to im- putations of disioyalty, 1t could not be charged against public men 1a Canada that they were want- ing in loyalty because they recognized the actual position of aifairs. The speaker’s remarks were frequently inter- rupted by applause, ‘The Contract for the Construction of the North Shore Railroad Given to a Chicago Firm— Government Benevolence. Quesec, April 6, 1872. the construcuon of the signed by the Tho contract for North Snore Railroad was directors of that road of the one parc and Messrs. Duniap Smith = and Ketth, of Chicago, of the other part, This decides the question which bas been so vehemently dis- cussed, whether it would be most expedient to give the contract to American citizens or hand the con- tract to Canadian or English firms. The cost, it ap- pears, has not been considered so much as expedi- tion and excellence of work, and, though mauy of the home firms have sought the contract, it has been determ‘ned not to permit them to participate as principais, he road 1s to cost $7,000,000, according to the estimates and specifications sealed, signed and de- livered, and the time agreement stipulates tuat the entire road shall be finisned and complete by the tirst of December, 1875.

Un the Ist of Octover ast bosses forced the eight hour system upon the workmen, the jatter say, and reduced wages to $250, From this the society men who wield the brush argue that the employers inaugurated tne eight hour system themseives, nat,” they now ask, through lodges Nos. 2 and is @ continuance oi the eight hour system and an a ice of fifty cents per day?” They velieve that itis nigh time that tne painters of Brookiyn settled the question whetner an enactment of the Legisiature weans eight hours for a legal day's work, or eight hours to suit the convenience of bosses; ais whether painting can be done by a class of men ‘who have left thefr own occupations to take “our places” during Me strixe. So much for (he jour- neymen’s case, The busses claim that the ‘strikers’? have acted in @ most !awless and outrageous man- go so far a8 to assanit and beatof from work non-society painters who were employed to com. plee con which they, the employers, nad made and were required to fl by @ stated tine, The losses resulting from them have been considerable. Men who have had tae courage to go to work in the place of the society men have had sore bones for their pains in many instances, and the troubie grow to such proportions that the attenticn of Mayor Powell was called to the state of affairs and his assistance asked in the Matter. The Poilce Vommissioners were also 4p- Peaied to for the provection of the “the dawbers’” ‘Who were willing to Work at the old rates. ‘ihe only assistance the aathoriues could give in the remises Was the assurance that the police should inwtructed to preserve the peace, and that when- ever an attack Was anticipated upon any party of workmen the police, 11 nouflea, snould be on hand to quell the disturbance and arrest Une assailants, As the matter stands now there are no prospects of the bosses coming to terms, and the journeymen say they can stand out unui “our just demaads of Compensauuou for lavor are complied Witge’!

Mr. Monroe, of Ohio, made a speech upon the management of the Treasury, treating particulariy upon the points in the financial policy of the admi- nistration, which had been criticized, and defend- fng the course of Secretary Boutwell, the verdict upon which he believed would be that there is no nobler example of successful administration in all Distory. The Tax on Paper—A New Clause in the Tariff Bil. The following is the clause the Committee on Ways and Means have inserted in the new Tarif biit:— “That in lleu of the duties now imposed by law there shall be levied and collected upon prinung paper used for books, magazines and newspapers exclusively, of a size not less than 82 by 46 Inches, twenty per cent ad valorem, and upon drawing, foolscap, imperial letter and note paper thirty-five percent ad valorem.

Tne reservations to be sold comprise six townships, cov- ered with valuable pine timber. Tne reservation for Fond du Lac contains about one hundred thou- sand acres, and is traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad, The committee also voted to propose another amendment to the same bill, authorizing the Secre- tary of the Interior to negotiate with the Ute In- Gians forthe purchase of the Ute Reservation in Southwestern Colorado, This reservation com- prises some fourteen millions of acres, and the part desired for purchase contains some valuable de- posits of gold and silver. The committee also voted to report an amena- ment appropriating about firty thousand dollars for the payment of annuities due the Michigan bands of the Pottawottomie Indians, nnder the various treaties, some of which date back to the year 1793, Senator Buckingham has nad the claim under ex- amination for nearly a year, and the committee Voted In accordance with his recommendation. Red Cload and His Brother Kedskins Profess Friendship for the Paletaces. Indian Agent Daniels reports to Commissioner Walker from the Red Cloud Agency, Dakota Tetri- tory, under date of March 25, the arrival of the famous chief Red Cloud, aad that @ council was held on the 22 On that day a few Indians assembled in the — counctl Chamber of une Agency. Red Cfoud’s object was to have the goods Which had been saved for nim taken up to the Rawhide, avout two-thirds of the way upto Fort Saranne. Red Cloud said he wanted to show the wild Indians the goodness of the Great Father, He made many pro- testations of peace, and said he would stay with his white friends, He also enjoined 1t upon the young men of the tribes present at the Council to keep peace and not make the Great Father to send for white soldiers, The agent says he talks well, and if reports are true from those who have been witn him in the North, he has been @ friend to the government there the past winter. The Indians speak well with the exception of a few young men whu wish to show their ill-feeling towards the whites, In the presence of large numbers they are important and saucy. The men of the country say they never heard such @ general expression of friend- ship for the whites as at the present time ; but still there is a nostile party; also those who are lukewarm in their friendship, and they will spare no pains to make trouble for those who wish to be peaceable. With this condition of things, if Red Cloud should seiect a place for the agency on the reservation, it would require a force to keep up communication and protect the agency. A hundred lodges of min- neconyous came to the Council with Red Cloud and nis Indians. Internal Revenue Receipts.

When you were on the board im 1869 did you take into consideration the law of 1868 which allowed Secor, Perrine & Co. $115,000 in full settles ment? A, The cuncluston to which the board came Was that the law did not appear to apply to this case; but as they were not lawyers that was for the departmeat to settle, Admiral Boggs was further examined by Mr. Archer as to the character of the.work done.
