These corrections are made from official copy OF
the alleged lave Of the second session of the Terri
torial Legislature. The only true statement made
by Pate is that Mc('ee County is attached to Bour-
bon County for civil purposes. McGee wa sup
posed to have but few inhabitants, but ], ,2OO were
returned to Gov. Walker. While some counties
we're attached 10 others, yet elections we're to oe
held in all, aud no citizen Of one county could by
the Convention law vote in any other county of the
Territory He must have resided for three months
in the county in which he ofers to vote.
LECOMPTON-THE MORMONS-TIIE Pacific
RAILROAD.
WAsHISGTOS, Feb. 1888.
The fate Of the Constitution is uncertain. Sire,
party discipline may carry IL through the Senae, but
in the House there majority Of four against rs re-
cepOn, under any and all circumstances and yeth IS
said that Mr.. Buchanan has declared his determna-
on put il through Congress IN thirty days or b@
These four votes may be had there are number Of
desirable Executive appointments ready 20 be given
out, but it will require nice patty engineering.
Mr.. Buchanan should remember that the Walker
and Pauding controversy has lOOsened considerably
paiy screws; md the late decided defeat OF his Ad-
ministratiOn in the loss of the New Regiment bill,
should guard him against calculating too cert inly
upon the support OF Congress. When he learned the
vote of the Senate ascertained that his recon-
mendatiOn to increase the regular army had been re-
ected by vote of four to one, lie beclne indignant,
and at once coUntermanded the order for Gen. Scott
10 proceed to California, and threatened to Withdraw
all tie troops from Utah.
This would probably be the wsest course to pursue,
DIR. Bernheisel, the Mormon Delegate here has al
ready proposed sending Commissioners instead OF sol
diers, who could treat with the people Of Utah, and
provide for their removal from the Territories OF the
United States to of the islands in the Pacific
Ocean. This, the Doctor thinks, could be readily
compished, and would be far preferable to shooting
our own people in bloody war;
1t is proposed that the Government purchase the
Improvements of the MoImons at Salt Lake City, and
establish there grand military depot for the central
division of the Army. This proposition is now before
the President.
Senator Gwin is again at about his Pacific Rail-
road project which has been reported by him to the
Senate and which he believed had the entire approval
of Mr.. buchanan. He is now told by the President
that the scheme Of General JEFF Davis is the he
prefers and shall support with the influence OF his Ad
minstration.
Dr. Gwn takes this in high dudgecn. and charges
the President with tifng with the subject, as he
knows General Daviss bill will share the igno
mipious fate with the New Regiment bill, and not
receive ten votes in the Senate General Davis pro-
poses the route from FL Paso to San Diego, while DIR.
Gwin bill fixes the eastern terminus on the Missouri
river between the Sioux and the Kansas rivers. In
my opinion this proposition would also be rejected by
large ynei foI, wilo - ProPosss northern terinI-
nus Il is designed to run the road actually south, or
east of south until it strikes the Texas road, and
thence We stwsrd via El Paso. Congress will never
agree 10 Pacific road which runs S0ah
