Thb people of Utah complain that the
quota, of arms due that territory has not been
turned over to the authorities. .The Vedette
retorts, that the . use made, of government

and at8n8:lnate United States soldiers.
Cool and Convenient. The editor of the
Owyhee Avalanche started on a tour in the
mines in bis bailiwick, and says that be
" dressed ourself in a pair of spurs and a six
shooter." Be was well fixed for either light
ing or retreating, and the tropical breezes of
November must have been very agreeable,
with such light habiliments.
During the exhibition of the Miltonian Pan
orama at one of the towns up the Willamette,
a Baptist minister became so. absorbed with
the view of the garden of Eden, that be mis
took himself for Adam and a pretty girl tor
Eve, and incontinently bugged and kissed the
aforesaid damsel in the most innocent man
ner. An investigntion showed that the affair
was only an " accident."

Cause or Cholera. Raspai, an eminent
chemist, hnde took, in 1838, to trace the
cause of cholera to the pioduction of micro
scopic insects, by the stagnation of water
in connection with morbific matter. These
. are called culex, of which there are many
species. Tbcy are generated from the pest
bouses of plague-stricken nations in Asia,
and are brought west by travel, and perimps
more in that direction, by some law of nature.
These Insects, it is faid, are taken in by res
piration and are dUtributo l throughout the
system. They are gifted with a pecnl ar
virut which influences the stomach, and the
result is cholera. It is said that dissect on
after death f om cholera shows the excoria
tion p'oducod by these insects, with a 1 the
signs of inflamation which would naturally
arise from such a cause. Raspai goes on to
say that simply because this theo y of the
. origin of the epidemic U not kept in view,
the efforts of physicians so often fail to check
the disease.
J Moub Indians Killid. By the arrival of
; the Cufloi City stage we learn that a sharp
fight occurred up the South Fork of Juhn
Day River, founeen miles above where the
: road from here to Ciifton City cros.-es that
stream, on the nihilist. It appears that a
party of eighteen men from Capt. Sniall'e
' Company at Camp Watson were out scouting
for Indians,, nud at the point designated c-uiie
on a camp of about forty Indians. The white
divided, the whole being under the command
of Capt. Small' orderly sergeant, Garber, aud
one half of the party attacked the camp, while
the balance remained to guard the pick-train.
Sergeant Garber wus mortally wounded at
. the Drat fire by a shoUlhrougb the bowels,
and bis men at once routed the Indians, kill
ing abot a do n of them in the pursuit. Ai
soon as the action was commenced, the guard
with the pack train earn up and took part in
it. Garber is spoken of as a gallant man. anil
was greatly beloved by the soldiers.' lie lived
1 ami) the next day, and his remains are on the
. way down to Vancouver, where they will be
Interred. The soldiers took lour horses, about
' tea thousand pounds of hnree-ineat and beef,
: and three hundred deer and horse-hides. The
meat and hides were destroyed, with all otber
articles of use to the Indians. , . . .
THE! LAWS OF OREGON.
The people of Oregon may congratulate
themselves on being the best governed1 people
n the world, if a code which proposes to re
gulate everything which any human being
will ever be likely to want to do, is taken as
proof to that effect. Lovers of comia lit
erature will do well to devote a leisure mo
ment occasionally to those lacitious produc
tions known as the Code of Civil Procedure,
the Criminal Code and the General Laws of
0. egon. The author of one of these acts, in
a funny mood, says that attorneys must be
of "good moral character," as if it were
possible for a man to have a bad moral char
acter. In the chapters defining the de
meanor of attorneys in oomt, they are ex
pected to refrain from "personalities," and
for fear the examination into their "good
moral chacrater," has not been sufficiently
stringent, the law defines a great many rascali
ties which they must not perpetrate, unless
they would have affixed to them the stigma
of a bad morul character.
Tha most mirth-provoking passages are
those about evidence. By this masterpiece
of legislation the necessity of reading the
law-doctors is.done away with', and all know
ledge upon the subject is compressed into a
sm ill volume, about the size of one of the
Books for a Corner, or An Hour's Reading
for a Dime. In fact, for the Rinus-meot it
affords, the volume ol laws is fully as valu
able as the class of works mentioned, and
it is an exemplary act of economy to read
the laws and save the dime.
The versatility of the principal writer of
the code is only equalled by his industry,
and his judgment by hivconsistency. Taken
altogether, bis Btntutes read like a syllabus
of a young law student who has "crammed"
from Levi'icus, Draco's Codo, the Laws of
Solon and Lyiu'gus,. the Pandects and In
stitutes of Justinian, the Civil and R ligious
Code of Mahomet, the Code Napoleon and
the New York Practice Act. It secrm to
have some reference to the Discipline of
Zamolxis, and the critical Btudcnt may find
where he bas. succeeded in extracting an
idea from the Unwritten Cede of Old Lawyer,
the iminent Nez Perces Chief, orator and
law-giver. With all this variety, our laws
have the advantage of differing, in the whole,
from those of every other civilized people.
Under tliU code, indictments grow like mush
rooms, and the officers of the law wax fat.
An obnoxious individual may be run out of
the country by a threatened prosecution for
a sin of omission," as well as a commission,
and if any man does not think it can be
doi.e, and defies the powers that be, he W
bold beyond wisdom The whole stntutes of
t io Stato, in general, are worthy of the in
tclligence of a community where a man is
still counted a lawyer after he has gravely
proposod tn abolish grand juries, and con
fers one of the best offices in the nation on a
man who did not know that Congress has
the absolute right to fix the time of holding
elections for members of the Ilou-e of flepre
scntatives.
PROCLAMATION OF THANKSGIVING
Wukrkas, The President of tbe United
States has issued a Proclamation of Thanks
giving as follows, to-wit:
Whereat, It has pleased the Almighty God,
during the year which is now coming to an
end, to relieve our beloved land from tbe
fearful scourge ol civil war, and to permit
iod secure the blessings of peace, unity and
harmony, with a great enlargement of civil
liberty ; and, whereas, our H avenly Father
has so, during the year, graciously averted
from us the calamities of foieign pestilence
and famine, while our granaries are full of
the fruits of an abundant season ; and, where
as, righleosness exalls a nation, while sin i- a
leproacb to any people; now, therefore, I,
Andrew Johnson, President of tbe United
States, do hereby recumu.end to the people
thereof, that they do set apart and observe the
First Ihurtday of December as a day of National
Tbaukgiving to the Creator of tbe Universe,
for these deliverances and blessings. And I
further recommend that, on that occasion tbe
whole people mane confession of our national
sins against His infinite goodness, and with
oue heart and one mind, implore the Divine
guidance in the ways of national virtue aud
holiness.
And Whrrias, the people of Oregon have
abundant reason to be thankful to Almighty
Uoil for His unnumbered blessings.
Therefore, I, Addison 0. Gibbs, Governor
