A heavy snow storm day betore yesterday covered the ground to a depth of about five inches. It is over a foot deep on Harney’s Peak and Look- out mountain, and over two feet aeep on Crow Peak and Inyan Kiara, and about the same at Dead- wood, 80 we shall have plenty of water in the spring. To-day 1 saw the most enormous elk that it has ever been my lot to witness. Frank Smeth, the hunter that shot him, placed his feet on one point of oue antler and just touched the other with the top of his hat as the royal animal lsy on bis side ou the ground. Fhat sounds large, I know, but any of Schlining’s men here will confirm the statement. Beeof is very scarce in Custer at present, and costs from 16e to 20c & pound at retail. Pork, fresh, sells at 20 cents, and elk and veni- #on at from twelve to fifteen.

In theconciuding parsgraph of the ruling bis honor says: “I hold, therefore, that the parties who contracted with Davis and Patrick, had 1o right to restrain the corpo- ration from removiag Patrick, upon cause shown, and to confer almost unlimited power upon Davis to mansge and control the company’s superintendent and manager, that ou the contrary I think the corpor ation had the right to remove Patrick for good cause, aud having exercised that right, claiming to have good cause, this court will not restrain 1t, 1f at all, unless it clearly appears toat there has beeu a gross abuse of authority.” The attorneys of Messrs. Patrick and Duvis are working to get the case belcre the supreme court of the Tesritory within a few days, 0 as to bave au early decision on the question. It i8 reported on our streets iLat wher: the news of Judge Schaeffer’s de- cision reached London, Flagstaff shares darted up from twelve to eighty shillings per share. The case of the notorious John D. Lee is set down for Monday next on the docket of the Supreme Court. Should the judzment of the lower court be confirmed the prisoner will doubtless appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States at Wash- ington, as allowed by the Poland bill. If the decisions of the local tribunals are not reversed, or the case sent back for & new trial, it will be the next thing to & miracle, as that has been almost without ex- ception the result with cases from Utah, that have been appeal- ed to the highest tribunal in the land. The lack of confidence in the judgment or fairness of U. &. judiciary in Utah shown by Con- gress in the passage of the appelate clauses of tae Poland vill, has been shown to be fully justified by the decisions of the Supreme Court, which, with one exception, enough to prove the rule, have almost in- variably reversed the judgments of our local Supreme Court. This Po- Iand bill, though a source of much business to the Nupreme Court of the United States which rightly sheu.d not have to be brought before it, is a tower of strength to the lib- erties of the citizens of this Ter- ritory. Two companies of tne Fourteenth Infantry, engaged during the past summer in the campaign against Sittinz Bull, returned to Camp Douglas the night before last. The Post here is one of the pleasantest and most comfortable on the conti- nent, and the Loys quartered here consider themselves amongst the lucky ones. Trade has been fearfully, misera- bly dull—you eannot find an adjec- tive too strong to express the idea— since the holidays. Amusements are but few, the theatre only opens once m a while, aud concerts, Jectures, and parties are among the rava avis. Last week the amusing and peculiar Tennessee Jubilee Bingers tarried a couple_of days with us, and next week Sol Smith Russell and the Berger fami- 1y promise us one ot their ever-wel- come flying visits. Gossip and scandals we have not enough of to make a letter sensa- tional, those invented by the Trib- une, vut of its pure love for the fab- ulous, being the only ones that ever greet our ears, and they are only remembered a short twenty-four hours. The local columns of our dailies are as ‘‘dry as chips,” ard general stagnation pervadessociety. The excitement, the business and the bustle seem to have journeyed down to Houthern Utah, where, with its mines affecting the Gen- tile, and its temple drawing the Mormon, all interest seems at pres- ent to be concentrated.

LIGHTNING IN JEGPARDY. PittsburgpJanuary 22.~Satarday morning information was received atthe A. & P. telegrapn office in this city, that the Western Union company had organized a large force of men in the oil regions for the purpose of destroving the wires and poles of the Merchants National telegraph compauy, which were be- ing operated by the Western Union under a lease acquired by the recent consolidation 0" the Pacific and At- lantic lines. This lease being about to expire, the wires which extend through the oil regions would revert to the control of the oppositien Co. The Western Union_company, it is said, preferred & suit for damages rather than toallow these important connections to fall in the hauads of their opponents, and proposed taking advantage of the adjourn ment of court and the absence of the judges on Saturday, and complete the work of destruction before an mjunction could be had to restrain them. In this, however, they were baffled, as the Atlantic & Pacific of- ficers employed the most eminent counsel in Pittsburg and bad an in- junetion issued in the chambers ‘through the presiding judge, Ewing, at 6 p. m., and served the same on all tize ofticials 1n this aty that could be four, and telegraphed copies of the sam to all points in the oil re. glons, me <engers being sent out on trains (o get off at different points and take the road with horses in search of the gangs, armed with this injunetion, and following their tral by the work of destruction. One party bad cut down the poles and destroyed the wire for seven miles before the messenger overtook them and stopped the outrageous work. All the wires between Frank- lin and Oil City were about de- stroyed, and probably at other points not yet heard from. The su- perintendent of the Western Union company having absented him- self from the office in Pitts- burg, he could not be personally served with the papers, though his subordinates, wherever found, were supplied with copies before 8 p. m., and as the work of destruction be- gan at 1 a. m., there seems likely to be serious litigation over the affair, which must résult finally to the ad- yantage of plamntiffs in the eye of the law. The public will no doubt see in this outrage the object of the monopoly is fo crush out the op- position telegraph company, even oy sueh bold proceedings as the em- ployment of disquiet gangs of men at midmight to cut down and de- stroy property not their own rather than that it should legitimately fall into the hands of the owners.

The testimony will now be reviewed as rapidly as possible, and a report wiil be prepared, to be submutted to the house as soon as practicable. The chair laid before the senate a memorial from the Board af Tradeof Chicago, heartily approving of the report of the spec- ial committee on the electoral count, ‘which was laid on the table ; also a certificate of election from the Gov- ernor of New Hampshire of C.
