Democrat ___________ ,__________ I Ntron^er and Wore Defiant. An Answer. We have a suspicion that the D emo cratic T imes , of Jacksonville, is not altogether sound on the retrenchment goose. It thinks it a fortunate cir cumstance that the two houses of the | late Legislature were arrayed against each other on various retrenching measures. We w’ould like to know, now, whether Bro. Nickell dimples an official cushion, or merely has his eye on one.— Salem Statesman. Neither, Bro. McDonald. We are in favor of retrenchment when meted out in a fair and judicious manner. But we cannot hut criticize the action of the Legislature in altogether abol ishing the office of Assistant Treasurer of State, thus leaving the salary of the Treasurer at $800 per annum—less than a second-class clerk, with no re sponsibility, would receive, while the Treasurer gives bonds to the amount of hundreds of thousands. The fee bill passed by the same body is also subject to severe criticism, inasmuch the officers in a majority of the coun ties will barely make expenses, while some threaten to resign. This is re trenchment w ith a vengeance, and the folly of this extreme course of the Leg islature is already apparent to every one. Billiard Tournament. The conclusion of many is that the effect of Congressional Laws upon Mormonism in Utah is not what was hoped for. Instead of intimidating the leaders and advocates of polygamy they have made them more determined in its favor, and created a desire forJts extension stronger than was known before. Before Congress interfered in the matter immigration was solv ing the problem and supplying the remedy quietly but surely. The new comers exerted a healthful influence, that while it did not take the form of open persecution and therefore gave no opportunity for resistance, it gave the Mormons a chance to see how all the world regarded their peculiar doctrines. As a result many followers after Brig ham soon began to discuss the merits of their faith from a new standpoint, and the younger people especially took favorably to the reform that was then so evident to he worked in the future. But Congress wanted to see the prejudices of many years’ growth wiped out in a single day, says the News, and passed the laws we have referred to; and the Mormon leaders were furnished a pretext for crying out against the authorities, which they at once availed themselves of. They set to work to convinco the Mormons that thej’ were being persecuted, and by this way they brought back a num ber of deserters and prevented the wavering in spirit from proceeding farther ; and to-day, it is stated by good authority, that Mormonism is stronger and more defiant in Utah than it ever has been before since the Mountain Meadow Massacre» A grand billiard tournament took place at New York last week, in which the following leading players of the United States participated: Joseph and Cyrille Dion, Albert Garnier, Maurice Daly, Fr.
