bALT Lake, Aug. 26. - Brigham Young has made answer to Ann Eliza's application for a divorce. He denies that he and Ann Eliza at anj time intermarried, or that she is or ever has been his wife. He says that Ann Eliza is the lawful wife of Jas. L. Dee, tct whom she was married in 1 863, and also that Ann Eliza and himself, (Brigham) being members of the church of Latter Day Saints, believing that it is rightful for membera to enter into celestial marriages, were so married in 1868 ; but that he then informed her that she could not expect his society or personal attention as an ordinary wife. He objects to paying $20,000 to her attorney and $1,000 per month to her. He says that all his property does not exceed in value the sum of $600,000, and that his income does not exceed $6,000 per month ; that he has a large family now, consisting of 63 persons, all of whom are I dependent upon him for support. Valuation of Illixois. - Returns of the assessments of taxable property in I Illinois have been returned to the Auditor's office at Springfield from all the counties except two - Monroe and Madison. The total value of property assessed in the returned counties in 1873 was 1,194,221,550, and that of 1874 is 81,093,770,176, being a falling off of 100,452,374. This is not thi result of shrinkage in value, but is caused by a lower valuation having been made by the assessors. Neither of the totals above mentioned includes railroad property nor the capital stock ' assessments which were made by the j State Board. These items last vear ' amounted to $85,507,531. South Carolina negroes, haring m, sort of provocation to engage in riota with tho white, are compelled in Order to be in the fashion to get up riota wholly their own. And accordintrl they have taken tocutting each ethers" throats n good earnest, as may be learned frora the letters of our 8outh Carolina correspondente, elsewhere printed. 'Jim Georgetown riot, which had its urigin solely in the political difference of' rival negro factions in a district where the negros have an overwhelming majority, is a most lamentable oommentary on the Eadical poliey of reconstrucción. A massacre of the whitos of Georgetown, from no other motive than that the negroes had become maddened in their own peculiar feud, seems to have been prevented only by the tardy though timely ap. pearance of United States marines to protect the Custom House. - S Y World.
