the objects Of these parsons would ~ accom-

system up by which the public printing Is let to

Again. Mr.. Seaton swears:
~ think MIR Trenholm said the Republic
would have, or expected, good deal Of work
from the Executive Departments. aud would not
Interfere with the Congress work. The idea was
resolution fixing prices, that il would comprehend
Executive printing we'll as Congress printing
heard noting Of any influence to be used by
the Republic with Congress. The idea was only
that the Republic would not interfere. /"
The idea MAS that the Republic would not in
terfere The Republic has the departmental
printing; Mr.. Richie the printing for Congress-
Gales a. Seaton are willing TO take part of
the work, and if their friends in Congress could
not be induced To vote down the whole system
to abrogdte the law--then Gales a. Seaton
will take II a, twenty per cent, or rather than
see Mr. Richie ruined, they will take it at thir-
ty-three and third per cent. discount from the
prices Of 1919. But now they have induced on
Committee on Public Printing to believe that
justice will be melted out to them if ii is done
at fifty per cent. below the prices of 1919 All
they want is to get rid of the contract system.
Here is MIR. Kennedy, superintendent Of the
census, who swears that work for which he con-
tracted to give y per ream to the same con-
tractors, they solicited liberty to execute at
twenty-five cents per ream.
"The contractors were to have ten dollars
ream for the blanks, and to print them on paper
costing six dollars. The printing was to be four
dollars for each ream. Witness went to different
offices, and inquired their prices for the work,
at the same time describing it.
Witness went to the Union Office and was in
troduced TO the foreman, whose name he thinks
was Trenholm This person told witness he did
the public printing for Congress. Witness has
seen him several times since at the Union office,
and believes he is the same person who transacs
the business Of that Office. This person offered TO
do the printing for ticengire cents rean, and ap-
psarsd pery anxious to take il at that rate.
Thus you see he was willing to give 81 per
ream to have the work properly done, and these
contractors offer to do it at twenty-five cents per
ream Mt the same time that they are memorable
ing Congress TO let them off from ruinous job
What is the intent? Why it is no more nor less
than to get the whole public printing into their
hands, in order that the Democratic party may
relieve them.
Mr.. NJ, without concluding, gave way to
Mr.. CROWELL, on whose motion
The House adjourned.

News FROM THE SALT LAKg.--For the fol-
lowing very interesting news, we are indebted
to Mr.. Monroe, connected with the firm Of J. &
d. Rees, Of the great Salt Lake city,
Mr.. Monroe left the Salt Lake on the lat
December, with two mer. On the highest
mountain, seventeen miles east OF Salt Lake, he
found ten feet OF snow, and three feet in the
valleys to Bear river. Thence to the Souh
Pass there was very little, and he found no
difficulty in passing. On leaving there how
ever, II heavy snow was falling, and deerening
very rapidly. Sioux and Crow Indians were
met on the route, and heyennes on the North
Fork, begging but wi h whom no difficulty
Cured. The Pawnees were hunting on tie
North side of The river.
At the Salt Lake everything was progressing
most prosperousy. The general health was
very good. and the weather mild and pleasant.
General Rich and his company had returned
there from the gold mines, bringing some gold
dust but not so much as was expected. Their
accounts from the diggings were unfavorable.
Grain is very abundant at the Lake,--200,000
bushels of wheat having been raised there last
year. This with the vegetables raised will
afford an abundant supply Of breadstuffs to
those emigrating to, or returning from California
this year.
The Messrs. Reese intend sending out bread
stutis and everything necessary for the supply
of the spring and summer emigration to the
South Pass and Green River
The news of the organization of the Terri
| tory and appointment of officers, produced but
little excitement among the people.
| Abundance Of coal and iron has been dis
covered at Little Salt Lake, about $50 miles
out of the city, and large company has been
sent out to form settlement there
| The scarcity Of money is severely felt in con-
sequence of the merchants taking it away.
| Mr. Monroe cites the instances OF individual
and general industry there AS remarkable. Five
Or six saw-mis and as many gristmilIs are al
ready in active operation, and wooden factory
and brewery nre now in course of erection

RHoos LsLAsp.---I 1e aeU u. ~ Sen0.vr--
Gen. James, the new senator elect from Rhode
lslard, it seems, was elected on distinct I'M
Outstanding with his Wing supporters he was
and would be Wing in everything but name
The Providence Journal pitliIy says -
1T is so seldom that our Democratic friends
carry an election of any kind in this State, that
we really pity them when they find that even
their iancicd success is only failure. Ihey
elected Mr. Thurston TO Congress, and the Her
aid did not dare to publish his votes on some OF
the most important questions upon which he
was called TO act. They have elected General
James to the Senate, and in the very beginning
OF their rejoicing they are met with the declara-
ton under his own hand that he il Wing, and
with the evidence that he has voted with the
Wings for ten years.
| Upon these points, we believe there is no mis-
take. The Post admits them both by express
sive silence. The Democrats who went to bed
Thursday evening rejoicing in a great triumph,
awoke on Friday morning to learn that they had
been "sold." Their Democratic senator voted
for Harrison in 1910, for Clay in 1874, supported
| Taylor in l848, and was prevented from voting
| for him only by absence He voted for Anthony
for Governor, although Mr.. Sackett, his personal
friend, WAS the opposing candidate; and, for fear
that all these pledges, which his past conduct
offered, might not be sufficient, he made in writ
ing distinct one for the future. In commu-
nication to the Hon. William Sprague, he dis
t.nctIy pronounces himself in favor of the meas
ures OF the Wing party, aud declares that il
elected TO the Senate, he shall render to those
measures a cheerful and cordial support. This
is the democrat" that with the aid of detection
and treachery in the Wing party, the Democrats
Of this city have succeeded in electing. With
out this pledge, it is well known that he could
never have been elected. 1t was not, of course,
made known to the Democrats they were not
a party to the contract. They were only the
article Sold The purchasers and sellers ar
ranged the bargain. The Democrats have not
now the pitifu degree OF spirit necessary to de-
nounce the deception that WAS practised upon
them They pretend not to know, or not to
credit the notorious fact that Gen. James is
pledged as Wing, under his o,on hand.

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN CuBA---Pa,riot-
ism ofthe Ladies.--The New York Sun announces
the arrival in that city Of large quantity of no.
mems e,reiry and tinkes, collected by the ladies Of
Cuba, and sent by them to the Cuban Junta in
that city to aid in bringing arms and ammunition
for the liberation of their oppressed country. The
"inventory," which is published in the Sun,
shows that the jewelry, &C., is contained in four
tin boxes-and consists of earrings, necklaces,
spectacles, watches and watch chains, clasps
bracelets thimbles, gold shoe-buckles, tooth
picks, and in Short nearly every article worn for
ornament by the fair sex.
The Sun says, an examination Of the articles
shows them to have proceeded from a vast num-
Der Of donors, and from all classes and ages Rich
and elegant articles of modern Partisan fashion,
such could only be owned by ladies' Of wealth
mingled with numerous others contributed by
the poorest classes of society--strange antiques
evidently given by pious grondmothers, with ar
ticles suitable only to the use Of the youngest
girls.
They are said to be the contributions of the la
dies Of single town, and that not containing
more than twenty or thirty thousand inhabitants.
These articles, the Sun says, eve have seen with
our own eyes and handled with our own hands. 7"

"GoNc 1T STRoNG.-The value of the dry
goods imported into this port during the month
of January past, was $17,359,l0S, being more
by some two millions of dollars than the cor

prosperity among our commercial people; but
