Serure of THE Cvsan Fuusvster Pro- weEE.—The United States government have seized the Pioneer. According to our special despatch, published elsewhere, a United States Marshal, armed with an authority signed by the President, yesterday boarded the little war vessel of the “Cuban republic’’ at Newport and took possession of her. A second licutenant left in charge of the fili- buster, in the name of his “‘republic,”’ utterly repudiated the power of the President to attach his vessel for violating the neutrality laws, and after the mandate of the United States government ordering the seizure had been read to him he fired a gun, threw his sword overboard, nailed the Cuban colors to the mast of the vessel, asked the loan of a gig from Captain Ritchie, of the Moccasin, and left the Cuban craft to the tender mercies of the Marshal.

Tar Arrempr on THe Lire or tax Krxé or Spars.—We publish this morning full and interesting details from the Hezatn's corre- spondent in Madrid of the recent cowardly attempt on the life of King Amadeus, Brief telegrams, it will be remembered, announced the fact and called forth indignation from all | classes of civilized people. The particulars of | this dastardly act show that not only was the deed carefully planned beforehand, but planned in such a way as almost to insure as fatal a certainty as that which was dealt out to Juan Prim on the night previous to the day of his contemplated departure to meet the very man whose life was so recently sought while return- ing to his palace through the streets of Ma- drid. The letter of our correspondent will be found interesting in its details of this last das- tardly act of Spanish bravoes. s The North Oarolina Contest New York State and Charter Elec- tion=—The Local Effect of the First Gan, Although the politicians still insist upon be- fogging the result of the election in North Carolina, each side persistently claiming the victory, it appears tolerably certain that the democratic ticket has been elected in the State, that the democrats have secured a large majority i Legislatyre, thus gaining a United Bead Boacise neitey Soin Bool, and that they have also carried at least five out of the eight Congressmen. The repub- licans are by turns admitting and denying their defeat, and government officials aro telegraphing to the dopartments at Washing- ton mysterious assurances that all will yet go well, It may be that these reports have two objects, the first to break the force of the terrible blow inflicted on the republi- can cause in the Presidential con- test by the North Carolina disaster, and the second, to prepare the way for tamper- ing with the figures, if the vote should be suf- ficiently close to warrant an attempt at fraud. But however this may be, and whatever may be the actual result of the official count, it is certain that the large republican loss, the fail- ure of the anticipated twenty thousand ma- jority, and the closeness of a contest in which every advantage that patronage, money and the control of the machinery of the election can give, was enjoyed by the republicans, will be just as damaging to the administration party as @ complete and total overthrow. At the present moment the North Carolina election has given more strength to the Greeley move- ment than it has yet received from any event since the meeting of the Cincinnati Convention. Leaders who have heretofore held aloof from committing themselves on either side, may now be expected to flock over by the hundreds to the liberal ranks after Sumner and Banks; and the effect among the masses is seen in the anxiety with which every politician now strives to impress upon his friends the belief that he has always been on the Greeley side. The ad- ministration republicans are beyond doubt proportionately depressed, and while they may affect to believe that their disaster is not 80 great as it is represented, they feel that their supposed power has received a serious check, and that they can no longer be looked upon as invincible, even though they should manage to drag their State ticket through the official canvass, with a small majority at its back. The North Carolia contest will, on this account, exercise an important influence over our approaching charter campaign, and may serve to make material changes in the pro- grammes of the politicians. Its effect will be to unite the democracy more solidly on the Cincinnati liberal movement and candidates and to crush out opposition to Greeley in this city on the part of those politicians who are looking round for a profitable trade in the confusion and muddle of regular organiza- tions. The republicans of the Custom House have been casting about for some alliance by which they might strengthen their party through a friendly combination on the charter offices, believing that their own patronage and influence, backed by an independent democratic force, might be suffi- cient to carry the city. Now, however, the | éclat of the North Carolina fight will render it dangerous for any democratic organization to oppose the Greeley movement, as it would be | almost impossible to hold its followers to- | gether for such action ; and hence we may | conclude that the republicans will have to go begging, and that any infependent demo- cratic movement that may be made in the charter election will have to be fought out on its merits within the ranks of the democracy, under the banner of the liberal republican candidates. This being the case, there is a strong probability that in the municipal con- test there may be a triangular fight and that we may have three candidates for Mayor in the field—one nominated by the re- publicans from the ranks of the Committee of Seventy, whose members strove so hard to give us an experimental charter last winter, and the others representing respectively the new ‘Tammany democracy and the opposing demo- cratic organizations. ‘This will be no novelty in our city politics, our charter elections hav- ing frequently taken a similar shape. On sev- eral former occasions we have seen the de- mocracy of New York united on Presidential or State candidates, but divided on local nomi- nations, and it has invariably been observed that such division has aided rather than in- jured the general ticket by calling out an in- creased democratic vote. This would no doubt be the case with regard to the Greeley ticket should a democratic split occur in the charter contest at this time; for it has always been the custom of the rival municipal fac- tions to try which could shout the Icudest and work the hardest for the democratic national and State nominees. With the exception of these local divisions there will be no further difficulty in nomina- tions, and the fight will be a fair one between Grant and Greeley. The administration repub- licans will put a straight State ticket into the field, and will make their regular nominations | for Congress, Legislature and city officers. The democratic and liberal republican con- ventions will meet separately, but will unite on State, Congressional and legis- lative candidates. The democrats will make the State nominations, which will be endorsed by the liberals, just as the Cincinnati nomi- | nees were endorsed by the Baltimore Conven- tion. Governor Hoffman being out of the | field in consequence of the ‘‘one term”’ princi- ple upon which he and his friends are fighting the present battle, will give place for the selec- | tion of a Western man for the head of the | ticket, and the indications are that the choice | Neill fall on Judge Sandford E. Church, why will be entirely acceptable to the liberal republicans, and will add | much mength to the cause. There has been some@ alk of his unwillingness to give up his position 0, the bench for a less remunera- tive and mor¢.thankless office; but Judge Church isa mau pf Strong convictions and a chivalrons politician, believing in the jus- | tice and patriotism of the Grecley move- | ment, he may be telied upon to submit to any reasonalde personal sac- rifice to add to its chtuces of suc- cess, Indeed, the reports of his resal to | accept a nomination probably come frouy ti,086 who desire to press some favorite candidaté upon the Convention, and who fear the | strength and popularity of Judeo Church's and the | name. ‘We believe he will consent to be the candidate of the united democratic and liberal republican party, and that his name will be a valuable addition to the ticket. It would be well to associate with him as Lieutenant Governor a competent liberal republican from this end of the State, especially as the Congreasional nominations in the samo locality will of neces- sity be all democratic. The union will extend into covery Congressional district, and, no doubt, the rule will prevail of nominating a democrat or a liberal republican, aceording to which has the greatest strength in the district. The State Senate holds over from last year, and hence will continue strongly republican. The Assembly will, however, be a now one, and if the impetus given to the Greeley cause by the North Carolina triumph should be suffi- cient to carry a large majority of that body, the next United States Senator will be demo- cratic or liberal republican. So there is am- ple room for bargains between the new allies, and, with the great prize of the Presi- dency secured by the liberals, there is a good prospect of a harmonious and brotherly arrangement. In the charter election now lies the only prospect of dissension, and, as we have said, the republican disaster in North Carolina has had tho effect of isolating the adminstration party in this city and of rendering it probable that any independent democratic candidate for Mayor will vie with the regular democracy in an energetic support of Greeley. In this event the vote of New York would be unprece- dentedly large and the struggle for charter offices would be between the two factions of the democracy, aided by the liberals. The contest would be decided by the respective fitness and merit of the candidates. The people of New York are looking anxiously to the charter election to complete the reform initiated by them last November, but inter- rupted and nullified by the politicians and bogus reformers who rode into power on the tidal wave. The old municipal rings are disposed of and are dead and buried beyond the hope of resurrection. But a new evil, if not a new corruption, has sprung up in the city government. A spirit of false economy, or of personal prejudice, may bring damage to the interests of the people as great as that inflicted by the cupidity and recklessness of unfaithful officers. Firm resistance of every dishonest claim against the treasury is a duty owed to the peo- ple; but to lock up the funds appropriated to valuable improvements in order to gratify a personal pique or in revenge for a supposed slight is a direct injury to the city. It is not wise economy to plunge the Corporation into useless and vexatious litigation, although it may enrich lawyers, nor is it just to refuse to pay poor men their honest dues until com- pelled by law or by fear to.do so, simply because they happen to havo worked for departments that are not regarded with favor. The people require and demand a municipal government free from narrow-minded prejudices, injuri- ous parsimony and crablike policy. They do not believe thata chronic state of litigation can benefit anybody but the lawyers who from friendship or other considerations are for- tunate enough to secure the business that should be confined to the legal officers of the city, and hence, while they will insist upon the election of men of strict integrity and honesty, they will take care also that their public officers shall possess the spirit of progress and liberality,. and shall be prepared to promote and not to retard. the growth and improvement of the metropolis. Tho nomination of such men as John G. Kane, August Belmont or James O'Brien for Mayor would be accepted as guarantees that the government would be conducted on the broadest principles of enter- prise and liberality and with the strictest hon- esty. Either name would swell the Greeley flood rising so rapidly since the North Carolina election and sweep away all opposition. The Mexican Commission Muddle. The Commissioners appointed to settle the matters in dispute between the American and Mexican governments have not only failed in the effort to unravel the tangled claims pre- sented to them, but have ended by getting into a personal difficulty. Neither gentleman seems to be made of the stuff diplomatists are com- posed of, and the result has been the loss of temper on both sides. They were not content with exchanging the lie courteous, but ex- pressed their feclings in so strong a manner as to render their coming together again impos- sible. Sefior Guzman, though he may not have a very exiensive acquaintance with English, has evidently made studies in Saxon, and knows how to say ‘You lie’’ as vigorously as the philosophic Presidential candidate. It would not be just, perhaps, to speak too severely of the hot-headedness of the two diplomatic agents. The questions brought before them were puzzling and exasperating in the extreme. On both sides the claimants proved themselves arrant knaves, with a stomach for false swear- ing absolutely appalling. So apparent was the perjury on the part of the frontiers- men that it was found necessary to pay no heed whatever to the affirmative testinony unless some independent corroborative proof could be found. The time and patience of the commissioners were consumed without much profit in the discussion, and we suppose that as they wero afraid to speak their minds to the cutthroats and cattle lifters they vented their pent-up spleen on each other. Asa natural result their relations became somewhat som- plicated, and finally so disagreeable that they parted without coming to any final settlement. The conduct of the Mexican Commissioner was, however, so outrageous that the govern- ment feels itself called upon to support Mr. Wadsworth, who acted for the United Stetes. His conduct, however, is not much approved of, as it is asserted that he was negligon; in the transaction of his business. It is evident, however, that nothing can be accomplished by diplomacy with our turbulent neighbors. So long as they are allowed to hold the Rio Grande as a base of operations against our border set- tlements they will continue to plunder in site of our protests and complaints. There is aly one satisfactory solution of the problem jos- sible, and that is to take possession of the country and drive out the thieves and «mt- throats who now control its destiny. The reo- ple are unable to maintain a respectable gov- ernment, and can only be saved from anarhy by the interposition of the United States. 2 is uly by this means that we can hope to secire Pedco on our own bordors, as woll as pws- -derity for distracted Mexico. The Threatened Persecution of the Religious Orders im Germany and Italy. The threatened suppression of religious orders in Germany and Italy has not only caused widespread disaffection in these coun- tries, but has deeply affected the whole Catho- lic community. The policy adopted by Bis- marck and Victor Emmanuel is looked on in the light of a religious persecution rather than as a political expedient, and protests have been made t the injustice of driving out of their country a set of men against whom no crime has been proven. Nor is this feeling altogether confined to the members of the Catholic communion, but finds expression through the enlightened and liberal minds of other sects. These look on the question not so much in its religious aspect, but as a grave attack on the rights and liberties of the indi- vidual. Father Bjerrmg, a distinguished Russian priest of the Greek Church, declares that the course adopted by Bismarck finds no sympathy among the enlightened classes in Russia, and is not calculated to moet the ap- proval of fair-minded Christians in any country. The meeting of prominent Eng- lish Catholics in London, presided over by the Duke of Norfolk, at which the distinguished Archbishop Manning and Monsignor Capel assisted, gave decided expression to their condemnation of the policy which the Courts of Berlin and Rome threaten to adopt in regard to the religious orders. The influential character of the persons present at this meeting gives to its utterances a weight and importance that do not usually belong to public meetings. Most of those present were men of the highest wealth and position, who were not likely to indulge in exaggerated or violent language. We may, therefore, accept their opinions as fairly representing the views of the Catholic masses, and from them may judgo liow deeply the Catholic mind has been moved by the threatened interference with the liberty of the religious orders of the Church, The day for persecution for conscience has passed, and both Bismarck and Emmanuel mistake the genius of the ageifthey think they can revive the practices of semi-barba- rous and bigoted times without exposing them- selves to the condemnation of liberal minds the world over. Nor can rulers nowadays afford to despise the opinions of foreign nations: The pronouncement of English opinion, through the London meeting, will encourage disaffection and discontent in Ger- many as well as in Italy, and in neither has the government that solidity which might enable it to regard with indifference the ill will of a powerful section of its subjects. Besides, the appearance of anything having even the color of religious persecution against any sect or creed—Turk, Jew, Christian or Mormon—is so out of keeping with modern thought that even those who differ most widely in religious belief from the persecuted will fecl sympathy for them in their misfortune. It is also a strange contrast which is offered by the dif- ferent policies adopted at this hour by the semi-barbarous ruler of Japan, and that pursued by two of the most en- lightened and so-called liberal governments in the world. While Japan opens her doors to every sect and liberalizes her governmental institutions, Germany and Italy, the cham- pions of free thought and political liberty, are adopting narrow-minded and bigoted mea- sures which will inevitably involve them in serious difficulties with a large section of their subjects. The liberals of the world looked with pleasure on the unification of Germany and Italy, and hopes were indulged in that these countries would in time become the great supports of freedom of thought as well as of political liberty on the Continent of Europe. It is, therefore, with deep regret that they see them adopt a policy which threatens to revive the legislation of the Dark Ages, under the pretence of advancing the interests of free- dom. But liberty erected on the basis of pro- scription and religious intolerance can at best be regarded as a doubtful good,.and it can never be desirable to have recourse to class legislation. If the members of tho religious orders have been guilty of any crime against the State they should be punished by the action of the law. Between them and other offenders there should be no distinction. They havea right to claim equality before the law, its protection and its punishments being meted out with equal-handed justice. If charged with crime let them be tried, and if found guilty punished; but to punish them" unconvicted and to: banish them unheard are not in keeping with the strict dictates of justice. Such a policy is opposed to the spirit of the nineteenth century. Topics of the Religious Press. There is nothing marvellous or particularly striking in the columns of our religious con- temporarics this week. The principal writers seem to be still enjoying their summer vaca- tion. In a few weeks, however, they will again don the editorial harness and resume their labors in the fields of grace and holiness. The Observer discourses upon ‘Christian Union and Unehristian Disunion,”’ “The Enemies of Man,’ “German and French Branches of the Evangelical Alliance’ and other matters. The Independent dashes at the “Pope's Last Letter,”’ talks about the ‘‘Mar- plot in Council” (meaning Horace Greeley) and indulges in some caustic articles on a varicty of other topics. The Golden Age is ‘Firing the Northern Heart’ in its usual vigorous manner and culo- gizes Greeley and pats the demo- erats kindly upon the back. The Catholic Review bas some sharp words to utter about “Sir Robert Peel and the Jesuits,” “An Ob- stinate and Peppery Old Gentleman’’—as the Pope is called by the Christian Union. The Jewish Messenger makes the ‘Jew in Politics’’ the subject of a leading article. The Christian Union dilates upon ‘Mr. Greeley and the Civil Service,’ “Life in God,” and ‘Politeness in the French Assembly,’’ while its miscel- laneous pages are filled with a choice variety of literary articles. The Methodist has a timely article on the subjectof the “Life of Business Men,”’ and another upon the “Civil Service.”’ The Liberal Christian preaches upon the subject of ‘Culture and Religion,” the ‘Connection of Opinions with Character’ and other matters. The Free- man’s Journal has not a word to say against Greeley. The Tablet publishes a list of the collections mado in the diocese of New York for the Pope, on Sunday, June 16, showing tho aggregate to be tho handsome sum of over -eeven lars. The Jewish Times is, as usual, well filled with articles bearing upon the Hebrew faith. The Christian the prevalence of a healthy religious sentiment all over the land. The Rabbinical Education Question— The Sabbath. Our recent article on ‘Rabbinical Educa- tion’’ has attracted the attention that we knew it would, but beyond some favorable com- ments in a couple of the Hebrew papers here we do not know nor do we hear of anything proposed to supply the lack of ministerial help there called for. Nor do we expect any action to be taken by our Jewish people so long as the advice of such writers as H. Abar- banel and the prosaic editor of the Hebrew Teader is taken. The former insists that the Jewish nation stands foremost in point of education, and that in Europe, the acknowl- edged seat of learning, they now carry the sway in almost every branch of art, science and literature. This is certainly ‘‘hifalutin’"’ enough to satisfy the ambition of any de- scendant of Abraham; but how are we to rec- oncile this statement with the one that follows, in which we are gravely assured that the poorest Jewish schoolboy in the most wretched village in Poland very often knows more of theology than many a Doctor of Divinity, although he is capable of delivering his sermons in English? We presume H. A. has reference to Hebrew Doctors of Divinity, since our article referred only to Rabbies. Nor can we understand why Maimonides College, in Philadelphia, should fail so lamentably as it has done, if, as Mr. Abarbanel declares, ‘‘the charity of the American Jews is proverbial,’’ and they are withal so much given to educa- tion and literature, We did not question either Jewish wealth or Jewish intelligence. We simply called attention to a state of facts that cannot be declared of any other leading de- nomination in America. Mr. Abarbanel’s statement, that the college at Finsbury square, London, produces more than enough for the British isles, and some for its colonies, we commend to the Jewish Messenger, our authority for stating that supplies for the American Hebrew pulpit need not be looked for in Europe. We cannot agree with this writer that ‘it makes but little difference to the Jews ot New York whether their preacher de- livers his sermon in English or not,’’ because they do not all understand other languages as well as they do that. There are many foolish and absurd things in this correspondent's letter, all of which the Hebrew Leader endorses, not the least of which is his plea for the Hebrew language because it is “the very language which God himself speaks."’ As if God were confined to any par- ticular language. We might ask this critic if God spoke to Abimelech in Hebrew in the days of Abraham or of Isaac? Or if that was the language used in His caution to Laban the Syrian when he pursued his son-in-law Jacob; or whether Darius the Mede, Cyrus the Persian, or Nebuchadnezzar the Babylonian was instructed and warned in his duties and ways by the use of the Hebrew tongue? For the rest we refer Mr. Abarbanel to the Jewish Times, where he is answered’ according to his folly. But passing by the other strictures of this critic, who has failed to convince us that we are sadly mistaken in our belief that American Israelites want more English preachers and preaching, we come to speak of the real cause of complaint for lack of worshippers in the synagogues on the Sabbath. While the want of English preachers has much to do with it, the prime cause is the Sabbath itself. Israelites are neither pious enough nor rich enough to be able to spend their own Sabbath and the Christian Sabbath in devotions. They cannot do business, except among themselves, on our Sabbath, but they can buy and sell and get gain with any person or class on their own Sabbath. And they very naturally rest on our Sabbath when they cannot make money and work on their own when they can. This is the real trouble, and the rabbies know it; but they are afraid to broach it to their congregations lest they should be accused of heresy to the religion of their fathers. It is believed and reported, however, that the leading Jewish rabbies of this city are in favor of observing the Christian Sabbath instead of their own as being the only means of keeping their congregations together and their synagogues respectably filled. They are undoubtedly right. But then the Sabbath question itself comes up and de- mands a hearing. Has the Almighty more affection for one day of the week than another? Or is worship on Saturday or Sunday more pleasing to Him than it can be on Monday or Friday? To state the questions is to answer them, and we cannot therefore see wherein we should offend God were we to abolish the present Jewish and Christian Sabbaths and substitute any other of the days of the week for the contemplation of His character and the worship of His name and Godhead. To offset the influences of the Christian Sunday schools upon Jewish chil- dren very many if not all of the synagogue congregations of, the city have their schools open on Sunday, and the children are gathered into them and taught Hebrew, arithmetic, reading and writing, &c. Now if the rabbies and the official boards of those congregations were to counte- nance those schools and give them a religious instead of a secular cast we believe the tran- sition from Saturday to Sunday could be made in a comparatively short time and without jarring or contention. We believe, as we have already intimated, that something must be done if Judaism is to be maintained on this Continent; and we commend these suggestions to the consideration of our Jewish fellow citi- zens, clergy and laity, that they may adopt some plan to meet the danger which now threatens them in the breaking up of their congregations in another generation or two. The Flow of Immigration. The number of emigrants who left Liver- pool for America during the month of July is officially announced as seventeen thousand. ‘Thus the increasing stream pours out of tho old countries, flooding the waste places of the Continent with the energetic minds and busy ‘hands whoso labor creates wealth. The bone and sinew of the European populations como here to mingle in the peaceful struggle of in- tion of the fature, because they have learned the advantages which honest labor enjoys under our republican institutions. While the Coming of the industrious emigrant helps to develop the wealth of the country ,their de parture from the crowded places of Europe is & blessing to those who remain behind. At the same time the departure of the best and most enterprising class of the community can- not fail to peo affect the commercial _ i tsleas to hope for a fairer division of the profits r, are fast making their minds to try their fortune Spear land where those who toil may hope to reap the advantages of their efforts. Here we have room for all, and boundless fields invite those who are industrious and energetic to create for themselves homes which shall be theirs for- ever. The Ute Indians—The Last Extremity of Despair. A OR We have the information from Salt Lake City that two thousand Utes (Utah Indians), who promised to return to their reservations, have halted forty miles from Nephi (a Mor- mon settlement some ninety miles south of Salt Lake City), and refuse to move another step, saying that they can die now as well as atany time. The Indian Agent in that quar- ter, Mr. Dodge, has apprised the government that his power over them is exhausted, and has asked that the affair be turned over to General Morrow, commander of the depart- ment, whose headquarters are Camp Douglas, Salt Lake City. A sharp contest is expected, and General Morrow meantime awaits orders, understanding that with these refractory In- dians the sabre now becomes necessary. We dare say, however, that General Morrow will find it an easy task to pacify these wretched Utes without the use of the sabre. Brigham Young for twenty-five years past has managed to maintain between them and hia people the most friendly relations simply by dealing justly with these unfortunate savages, and by supplying their urgent wants in food and clothing from time to time when neglected by the government, but always omitting the whiskey. These poor, ignorant Indians do not understand the meaning of these reservations to which they have been assigned. They can only see that the white men have settled all around them, have driven off or exterminated their game, and have occupied the pasture lands upon which they have heretofore de- pended for the winter’s subsistence of their ponies, and that in being cooped up in thege reservations they must eventually be starved to death ; for what do they know about farm- ing, especially in a country where not an ear of corn can be raised without artificial irriga- tion? Heretofore these Indians have had a wide range over the plains and mountains, and from the wild game captured by them, and from their stealings of horses and cattle, and from government rations and clothing, they have got along very comfortably. They, like all the rest of our wild Indians, are nomads, and they have no higher idea of liberty than the liberty of wandering about at their pleasure. A reservation means to them imprisonment, slavery and starvation, and to reconstruct them to the habits of civilized life, after the manner of the Cherokees and Chicka- saws, and to the drudgery of systematic labor, will require time and patience. In this resolution to go no farther, and in this declaration that they might as well die now as at any time, we see that these poor Utes are driven to the last extremity of de- spair. But while they are great eaters they are poor fighters. Let General Morrow be authorized to feed them and give them each a good blanket, &c.; and hold a friendly powwow with them, and make them fairly and fully understand the necessities of their position, and that in their reservation they will be fed and clothed by the government until taught by honest men how to support themselves, and we dare say these despairing Utes will accept the situation. In cases of wilful dis- obedience and bad faith, resulting in murder- ous raids for scalps and plunder, General Sheridan’s remedy of a good thrashing may be wisely applied; but the course we have suggested in reference to these poor Utes (they belong to the miserable Digger Indians of Fremont), will settle them, and this is the ‘ course which will, doubtless, be adopted by: the government. The policy which has suc-: ceeded with the warlike Red Cloud and Spot- - ted Tail will not fail in its application to these - comparatively harmless Utes of Utah. 4 PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Congressman George W. McCook, of Ohio, is at the Gilsey House, Jud, Nathaniel Paige, of Washington, is at the Fifth Avénue Hotel. Senator James Harlan, of lowa, yesterday arrived at the Gilsey House. Mr. Gladstone will pass part of the Parliamen- tary recess at Biarritz. Governor Woods, of Utah, yesterday started om his return journey to Salt Lake City.
