On and after October twenty-Brat, 1872, Ihe city circulation of the DAILY Bee is assumed by Mr. Edwin Davis, to whose order all sub scriptions not paid at the office will be payable, and by whom all receipts for subscriptions will be countersigned. E. BOSEWATEE. Tablisher The maiden eilort of Brigham's Cannon does not seem to have been very eflective, judging from the overwhelming majority by which the House passed the Poland Utah bill. Our local Democratic contempo rary is fighting over the first battle of Bull Run. Are we to infer from this that the late reconcilllation campaign failed to clo-e the bloody chasm. The recent examination at "West Point resulted in the rejection of thirty-two out of the ninety-seven applicants for admission, strange to say none of the colored candidates were able to pass muster. On the other hand Smith, the col ored cadet who created so much dis cord at West Point, will graduate almost at the very head of his class. People who describe Heri Roche fort as a French edition of George Grancis Train, are evidently dispo sed to underate the native modesty and good sense of the great French Journalist If George Francis had escaped from Caledonia, and any body had tendered him a public banquet nobody could possibly have induced him to forego such a de monstration. Senator Tiptox was indignant because, the United States Senate adjourned the other day in order to enable some of its members to at tend the wedding of the President's daughter. "What would the stern old demagogue say if Congress should adjourn for "the purpose of enabling its members to attend a Jiorsoraco? And yet the British Parliament stands adjourned for several days because its members wanted to attend the Derby The Bee always has admired the pcrtenacity with which the claim ants over the river have adhered to their hopes of utlimately becoming the eastern U. P. terminus. To day's Nonpareil dishes up a little cold comfort for them by declaring that the Omaha bridge bill is not dead by any means. It will yot be taken up and passed before the close of the session. In view of the fact' that the Congress has only about fifteen working days before adjournment, this prediction would seem to us somewhat reckless. That hydra-headed monster known as the Iowa pool has a very tenacious life. Unless Omaha shall strike at its most vulnerable point it can safely laugh all her efforts to scorn. That point can be reached by the concentration of travel and traffic over one of the three roads in the pool. The Bee has repeatedly advoca ted such a course, and we are pleased to notice that tho Herald has at last recognized its advantages. If our merchants and business men can only be induced to make the expe riment, we have no doubt of ulti mate success. Of General Bristow, the new Sec retary of the Treasury, the St. Louis Globe says : "He brings to his posi tion a thorough knowledge of the workings of the department, ac quired during his services as its so" licitor. He is familiar with all the laws and decisions which have gov erned his predecessors, and he ought to make a creditable record for him self and tho administration. He is a lawyer of great ability, but whether he will make a great finance minis ter, tho equal of Chase or Fessen den, remains to be seen. One thing is certain : he will not as easily be made the victim of designing men as Richardson proved himself to be In the Sanborn matter." A bill was carried through the lower House of Congress, Monday, to enable the settlers who have pre empted lands in ten or more coun ties in northern Iowa, and a num ber of counties in southern Minne-1 sola, to maintain the titles to their farms, while they may be compelled to be absent on account of the grasshopper plague, which renders these lands uninhabitable- It -seems that the territory re ferred to was visited by immense numbers of grasshoppers last year, who left their eggs in the ground, so that at present the earth is full of young grasshoppers, and the pros pectls that the lands will be unten able for a year to come. The limit fixed by the bill is the first of July, 1875, until which time the settlers can be absent without violating the title of their homesteads. D0E3 "VTSDICinnEHESS VINDICATE t The wounded bird usually flut ters. In attempting to correct the most 'glaring abuses in our police system the Bee has unmasked and exposed the most profitable source of police plunder. The furious and passionate demeanor of Marshal Snowden would seem to indicate tliat the Bee has stuns him fix the most tender spot. Like a wounded buffalo bull the giant chief is shak ing his mane and rushing headlong at his antagonist He rashes to the District Court Grand Jury and demands Rose water's criminal indictment for an alleged libel. He cliarges him with publishing a slanderous article against his good character and rep utation during the month of April, while the said Snowden was a can didate for the office of City Marshal. This article appeared in the local columns of the Bee two days before the election, over the signature of Frank Walters. If memory serves us correctly this article was drawn out in reply to a malicious attack upon Christopher son, the Republican candidate for Marshal. It reflected very severely upon Snowdcn's past career, and cited some facts touching his for mer cruelty toward those who had a right to look to him for protec tion. Xow, while It is probable that Mr. Walter's statement may have been highly colored or exaggerated, the Infamous conduct of Snowden during a period covering several years, was so notorious that the edi tor of The Bee did not deem it necessary, in the midst of political excitement, to ascertain all the par ticulars. If Mr. Snowden has any desire to have his former disgraceful de baucheries paraded before the pub lic, we are prepared for any indict ment which he may be able to work up against us. If,',on theother hand, he is pursuing this course for the purpose of intimidating the Bee from its just and reasonable de mands for police relorm, he will soon discover that lie hqs tackled the wrong man. And now we would ask Marshal Snowden does vindictiveness vindicate? Are you not well aware that the system of keeping constables and other go-betweens in the police court is a fraud upon tho people? Why compel prisoners of any description to pay costs for services which thp charter intended to be performed by the police? What right, for In stance, has this constable, to enter into private houses at midnight, and -arrest the inmates without a warrant ? Where does the Marshal or any police officer obtain the authority for collecting fines or costs from per sons who have not been convicted in the police court? You know these practices are unlawful, and why wink at them aud permit them to continue? Why have you never attempted to enforce Chapter 10, of the Revised Ordinances, against all tho owners of disorderly houses? You have como into office pledged to reform, and we propose to hold you to your word. There has never been ft more favorable time to make a begining. Mayor Chase we know Is anxious to enforce the charter in spirit as well as in letter. He is ready to aid you in any proper effort for honest and thorough reform. This can be done much easier now, when the criminal classes are under subjection. The Bee has no war to make upon per sons, but means to demolish the 83-stein that nourishes and main tains corruption in any branch of the public service. In order to bring about reform we must awake public sentiment to a proper comprehension of the evils which we now seek to abolish. Marshal Snowden is a public officer, and he has no right to claim exemp tion from public criticism. If he feels aggrieved, our columns are al ways open for an explanation. SOMETimiG FOE THE DOCTORS. llicspecf fully referred to the State Medical society.) Medical scienco has achieved another tiiumph, by an ojieration which w:u successfully performed in Chicago last Friday. The event referred to was nothing less than the transfusion of blood from a lamb into the elns of a human being. The patient is a German, aged thirty-five, who is so far a victim to consumption that all hope of his recovery has been abandoned, and the experiment alluded to was adopted as a last resource for the preservation of life. The ocration was performed by Dr. Proegler, by means of an apparatus specially de signed for the purpose. Eight ounces of blood were ejected into the veins of the patient in ninety seconds. The blood was drawn from the main artery of the lamb through a minute silver canule, and tuen transmitted to the arm of the patient through a gutta per cha tube. Every heart-beat of the lamb propelled the vital current. For the first few seconds of the transi ision the right arm began to warm perceptibly, aud this increase of temperature was followed by a slight difficulty in breathing. Then the patient became dizzy and every thing was reeling around him, and he thought that snow flakes were falling. At the expiration of ninety seconds the transfusion was disc;) itinued, and by that time he could scarcely breathe. In twenty five minutes afterwards he fully re covered, regained his usual pulse, was ineaeerfulspiritsand conversed with his wife. The final result of the experiment is looked for with intense interest, and if a life has been safed, medical science has gained an additional laurel, and Chicauo has something to boast of. The Cleveland Herald, one of our most valued exchanges, comes to us enlarged to an eight-page metropoli tan daily. This is a very marked improvement, which, we appre hend, the people of the Forest City will not be slow to appreciate. The Herald is the leading newspaper of .Northern Ohio, and its projrress and prosperity has been synoomous with the steady growth and in creased prosperity of that section, and particularly of the city of Cleveland. M0RM0ND0M. Enoch Gaining Ground. Rebellious Saints. Bird's-Eje View of Salt Lake City. Correspoudence of Thb Bek.J Salt Lake City, May 30, 1874. j Editor Bee: Enoch is gaining gnund. As palpable as the fraud is, fear of ex communication from the church, and its consequent persecution, ig norance, avarice and all other in ducements the Devil can invent, is driving the Mormon hordes into it. Some clear-headed, sagacious busi ness men like Col. Hooper, Wm. Jennings and others, who have the reputation of being able to furnish their own brains, take none of it in their's, and boldly proclaim their ability to take care of themselves. As B. Y. at the late conference dis tinctly stated.that those who refused to join the order could not expect the fellowship of the church; it re remains to be seen what will be done with these promoters of dis cord. Their services are too valuable, their influence too powerful, to be cast out entirely .and to allow them to remain in important positions within the church will not look well, B. Y. may be able to solve the diffi cultyhe has shown his usual dar ing and persistence in pushing the matter thus far hut that venerable pate will undergo many severe scratchings ere he unravels the snarl. To give themselves up body and soul, more comnletelv than ever, may be expected of fanatical zeal and bigotry, but independence and virtue has not yet departed from all Mormons, Salt Lake is Just now In its most charming habiliaments. Standing on the elevation in the northern part of the city you see before you broad avenues lined with trees,large blocks in which here and there the pure white walls of numerous cottages dot the green verdure, the huge Tabernacle rearing its turtle back roof amidst an army of labor ers, the city hall, a fine stone struc ture wth I13 illumined clock ; the first national bank"hu'ilding, costing one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, towering above all surround ings ; the Walker House, a fine brick block; the Wasatch Hotel, nearly completed, and Brigham Young's, soon to be, palatial residence. Beyond this to the south stretches the valley, clothed in beautiful green, plentifully snrjnkjed wjth farms mW houses, anil smelters and factories, until it appears almost shut in by the mountains, which liko giants, have approached to within a short distance of each other and there remain, a gap between them into which neither venture to encroacn. Even this gap is guard ed by a towering, solitary mountain which seems to have been plaped by the Creator as a sentinel be fore this gate to a Garden of Eden. Tho snow has disappeared from tho mountains to the north and east of the city, and they seem car peted with green to the very top ; but as your eyes follow along down the inountain ridge on the loft of the valley, "they soon meet, first, a white peak, then a long white streak, which is some snow-piled ravine, until twenty to thirty miles away they rest upon the mountains of the Big and Little Cottonwoods, still covered, as in winter, in a deep mantle of snow, relieved only here and there with the gray, glistening rock, or the deep green of scattered forests. On the right of tho valley the morning sun first gilds the snowy tops, but falls rapidly upon green pastures, which seem to touch even the edge of the snow. Directly to the west lies the lake barely seen In the distance. On beyond is what seems in tho dis tance another long, low range of mountains; while nearer by, boldly rising from the waters of the lake, the rocky shore of Church Island presents itself. The range of moun tains on the west side of the valley terminates abruptly at the head of the lake by a single peak, standing partially by itself, about half the height of its fellows and a perfect cone. Near this has lately been built a fine hotel, and here also is the steamer landing. 'Tis a wide stretch of sixteen miles across the Jordan bottoms to this point, but the drive on a pleasant day and a steamer ride on the lake on a moon light night, affords a delight not soon to be forgotten. This is a picture, feebly drawn, of the outside of Salt Lake City. The inside would be painted in very different hues. D. H. R. The Army Bill. Tho army bill which passed the House Friday, makes a reduction in the army of live regiments of In fantry, one of cavalry, and one of artillery. The number of men is fixed at 23,000. Officers may re sign with a year's pay. A board is provided to weed out inconmetent and inefficient officers. The grade of Regimental Adjutant, Quarter master, and company wagoner are abolished. One Major abolished in each regiment of cavalry and artil lery. The aids of General of the army reduced from G to 3. Adjutant-General's Department reduced from 16 to 7 permanent officers, with 8 detailed officers. Inspector Greneral's Department reduced from 8 to 5, with privilege of 4 detailed officers. Bureau of Military Jus rice, reduced from 9 to 4. Quarter master's office, from 57 to 40, with a detail of 10 men additional. Sub sistence Department, from 25 to 17 with a detail of 6 additional. Medi cal Department increased in reg ular officers from 155 to 200. Con tract Surgeons dimished from 173 to 75. Pay Department-reduced from 47 to 34. Ordnance Department is reduced from 57 to 43, with 10 ad ditional detailed officers. Provision is made for paying army by drafts on Treasurer. Secretary of War can use discretion to order pay ments in currency as heretofore, whenever it works a hardship. Officers are to be elected for details on staffs by a board to sub ject appoitments to a competitive examination. They are to serve on staff when detailed four years, with an additional four years in any oth er branch of staff, if detailed. The officers who have been detailed to do duty as professors in colleges ore hereafter permitted to do that duty as upon leave of absence. As va cancies occur no appointments shall be Blade until the number is reduced to the "regular number, and after that the promotions are to go on as vacancies occur. The principal opposition to the bill was to .that part of it which provided for payments by draft; the reason given was that soldiers would be shaved in disposing of the drafts. The reason for putting this provision in was founded upon ex perience of payments made by the pension office, by which 60 pension agents pay 238,000 pensioners, four times a year, at an expense to the government of $470,000, whde lit takes 46 paymasters to pay 20,000 troops six times a year, assisted by as many clerks at an expense of $350,000. The payment of pensioners costing less than $2 a head ; the payment of officers and soldiers cost over 12 a head. The bill, as reported by the committee, was passed without a single amend ment, although there were strong efforts made to amend it in several particulars and two motions made tn lnv it nnon the table, and every member of the committee but two who spoke upon the subject opposed the bill in whole or in part, the only gentleman in committee who stood by the bill being Generals Coburn and Hawley, of Illinois. PUHGENTISTIC. The fastest time on record that made by the Duchess of Edinburgh. You can buy alligators five feet long at Perry, Georgia, for $1 apiece; but emigration thither has not set in on that account. The reason why dying men make their wills and women neglect to, is attributed to the fact that women have had theirs all through life. The Havilah Miner says : "They sock et tu um up in Cerro Gordo, the price for shooting two men being the magnificent sum of $30." In a recent trial In San Franciso a witness testified that it was a com mon thing for the old settlers to drink forty to fifty times before eat ing breakfast. The most untalkative person sel dom fails to make a few remarks when with bare feet he steps on car pet tacks at two o'clock in the morn ing. The police of Charleston are de scribed as amiable looking loungers, dressed in blue sack-coats, blue pants with a white stripe, and Pan ama hats with long black streamers. The St Peter (Minnesota) Irib vne says the giantess with the Great Eastern circus, weighing 712 pounds, subscribes for one paper in every town she visits. She wears a pan nier. The compositor who made Gener al Butler's inflamation of the bowels read "inflation of tho bowels" should rely more upon the Individu al words and less upon the context. Worcester Press. One cf the jurors drawn in Trini dad for the next term of court, has, according to the Enterprise, just finished a term in the penitentiary. We may presume that he has re. formed. Robert Toombs says he does not wish to go to Congress. He only wants to be let alone. He has no desire even to call over the names of the members of his family on Bunker Hill. A California editor brags of an enormous egg that has been "laid upon hs table," and triumphantly asks: "Who ran beat it?" His ri val replies? "If you will send it around to our house, our wife will try." A grave digger, walking in the streets of a country town, the other day, chanced to turn, and noticed two doctors walking beside him. He stopped till they passed, and then followed on behind them. "And why this?" said they. "I know my place in this procession," said he. The postmaster of Marvsville has been afflicted with the following : dear Sir'i Want too kno Iff there is eny wone By the name off benoist that getts there male of you and iff There is i wont you Too send me thereaddreslff you plese Frank ben oist cedar falls iowa." In Austin, Nevada, the boys en joy the privilege of awlmming in the reservoir which supplies the town with drinking water; and al luding to this fact the "Reveille" very complacently observes: "It's all the same ; boy does not affect the water to any appreciable ex tent." A boy, six years old, having been much lectured by his father on the babyishness of crying when any calamity happened, cheered the pa ternal heart, the other morning, by saying: "Harry Bolton cried nearly all day' 'cause his father died ; but if you should die, pa, I wouldn't cry a bit." Recently a Piute Indian shot and killed a Chinaman near Genoa, Ne vada. The sheriff, when arresting the slayer, remarked he would prob ably have the pleasure of hanging him. "Oh no," replied the noble red ; "no hang Injun. Me heap a pay for him me got horse." cor's Corners, was in the habit of tuning tougu exaggerateu yarns. He said that last summer while out a mowing on hay he seed a fox, chased him, and both leaped over a stone fence into a bank of. snow where he caught him. Uncle Eb got called up in church for the habit, and made this confession before the congregation: "My breth ren, I am sorry that I havo fallen into the practice of telling more nor the truth, and I have shed hogs heads of tears over it myself." Eb's brother when ho heard him go on this way worsiiior ever" said when he got out he camo as near swear ing as the Methodist discipline would allow. Lake Mahopao Her ald. COUNT HARRIS. His Body Found in the Platte Paver. Leavenworth Time, June 2d. The body of Count Harris was found by a couple of boys on Sun day evening last, May 1st, in the sand, on the margin of Platte river, near Edgarton Junction. $400 in money and his gold watch and chain were found upon his body. The conclusion therefore, is, that he was not murdered, as was generally supposed ; but in his wandering, got into the river, by some means, and was drowned or frozen to death. Sad as is the event, in itself, these facts strip it of its hitherto darkest feature, and will save the people of Platte county from the charges, which have been so freely made, that there are many persons within her limits who would take life from mercenary mo tives. A party of Count Harris friends' camo down from St Joe on the C.R.LAP. train on Monday morning to attend to the remains of the unfortunate man. We presume the boys can riahtly claim the re ward offered for the recovery of the body. Quite a large number of the curious assembled at the depot, at Edgarton Junction, and the excite ment was at fever heat as the train passed down Monday morning.
