They Caught a Tartar

In the House yesterday, Hon. Mr.. GROVER
caused to be reid an extract from a letter
winch ne had received from Hon. III. NJ.
RICE on the subject of the interest which
our State bonds should bear to make thep,
negotiable at P r, an account OF which will
be soundin our reports but this did not suit
some Of the gentlemen ON the Democratic
side, who insisted that the whole letter should
be read. The Clerk therefore continued the
reading as follows:
"The Kansas affairs are in bad shane. and
and think wI! be tie cause Of Ye-modelin0
present political l'arties.'
This opinion of the chosen head and front
Democratic parry in this State upon the sta
bility of the Democratic party was as uuex-
pected to the Democrats of the House as If
was amusing to the Republican Members

Interesting Case of Grim. Con. in Deca-

The Decatur correspondent of the Spring

count of little affair that recently occurred
in that miniature city, the parties being a
well-known ex-hotel keeper, and the wife Of
saloon keeper:
One night last week, tie husband Of this
woman, returning home ff".n his saloon at an
earlier hour than usual, WAS startled By his
wife's screams, proceedn@ from within tie
house. On endeavorln5 u o9an TIE front

he did not pay him for his wounded bono,

and the CAV Lothario allowed to depart
with whole skin, but nearly frightened to
death.
But the drama does not end here The
grain merchant not feeling quite willing to
pay this little amount Of $4,000, has brought
suit against the saloon keeper for conspiracy
to exort money from him. The cese will he

Mormon ExpedifiOn-Gen. Scott Going
to CalifOrnia-Dem0cra PeculatiOn.
Special Dispatches to the N. Y. Tribune

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
The California combination for CARRYING on
the Mormon war from that side of the noun
tains has effected its object. Gen. Scott will
start for California next week with full pow
ers from Government to organize in that State
an army for the invasion of Utah, if the lat
est advices from Salt Lake City, which he
shall receive in California are such as to war
rant the prosecution of hostilities. In that
case he employ the regulars now on the Pa
cific side, and will also call upon the Govern
or of California for volunteers.
He expects to reach Salt Lake in June, 81
simultaneously with Col. Johnson. 1t is a
part Of his plan of operations to conduct the
army up the Colorado River, which is believ-
ed to be navigable for three hundred miles
above its junction with the ella, and in the
exact direction of Utah. An officer of the
army is now engaged in surveying the river,
and so far as it has yet been examined, it has
been found deep stream, without shOal or
falls, with a current of three miles an hour.

road has been voted down in the Senate Com

number of votes which its merits deserved,
then let the bill die a natural death.
Mr.. BALCOMBE moved that when the
committee rise, they recommend that the
bill be Indefinitely postponed. He thought
that if any one needed protection it was the
old pioneers of our own State. He was OPP
posed to tie distinction which this bill made
between the citizens Of other States and our
own. Any bill which savored of bankrupt
act he looked upon with suspicion.
Mr.. STARKEY said this was bill to Ell
courage emigration. lie considered it more
important for the interests of Minnesota to
have the Benefit of large emigration to our
State during tic coming season, than all the
loan and railroad schemes which have been
brought before the Legislature this winter.
The motion was lost. a mo.:I..,, that the
committee rise. and report it's procee,..;ngs
back to the House, then prevailed.
MIR. STARKEY moved that the bill be en-.
crossed for a third reading.
Mr.. BALCOMBE argued that the bill vas
calculated to encourage TO come amono ~
not worthy laborers and industrion, mo.
chanics," but bankrupt merchants and swind.
lers, it would make our fair land a worse
place than Texas or Botany Bay.
Mr.. Z. \. THOMPSON believed it would
be good policy for US to open our arms ana
receive all the unfortunate business mer

make our State an asylum for the distressed
and at the same time he made it such an as

Interesting Discovery at Jamaicf, l.. I..-
The Remains Of q Mammoth Exhumed.

The workmenN employed by the Brook
lyn Water Works Company, while engag-
ed yesterday in excavating tn, upper part
of Boislcy's mil! ponds, about two miles
below Jamaica, came upon the remains of
some vast animal, which have caused no
little spccul .ion among the citizens of
that place. The bones are of immense
size, very much decayed. Pieces of rib
bones wcro found, measuring nine inches
broad. Four teeth wero brought up TO
Jamaica for inspection, one measuring III
inches around, with roots 81 to Z inches
long and although partially decayed at
the roots, weighing 81 lbs. Our. inform
ant saw one, said to be the smaliest--it
was nearly square-measuring Al inches
by 81 inches, serrated and partly worn.-
1t is hoped that this notice will induce
some scientific person to proceed to the spot
and examine these remains. There are
four or five wagon loads Of bones lying ex
posed, and crumbling rapidly since expos
ure to the air.-[N. Y. Eve. Post.

Tho mail which arrived hcrc on tho 2Sth
Of January, brought us newspapers up :,
the 26th of October. Wo have boon d
good deal amused at some of the Nun
chausen yarns, about tho army of Utah,
which were going the rounds of the prces
at that timo; how we had been attacked
by tho Mormons, six hundred killed and
tho balance wounded; how the scurvy was
prevailing TO n terrible extent among tho
troops and other such stuff. Tho old
saw,s. nihiio nihH 1T, is obsolete; as may
be seen by these modern instances Of tho
contrary. For licro VIC have, not only.
something, but a good deal, mnde-out Of
nothing. IrrUnemlcr that scmc years
ago tho query was going the rounds Of the
press rs to 10 10 was That nihi tfs Allow
mo at this late day TO revamp the old joke.
and furnish you SIS tho answer-the nrmy
Of Utah. The health of tho troops has
been, and is, excellent; and all reports TO
the contrary are scurvy falschoods. There
has not, TO my knowledge, been n single
death from disease here since we have gote
into our winter camp. Not only arc tho
troops in cxccllcnt health, but they arc
likewise in fine spirits. AS TO their being
defeated by tho Mormon rabblc, whatever
its numbers may be, the thing is simply
absurd. The rigors of the winter in these
mountains proved too much--not for our
men-but for our mlos. Aud so We had
to come to halt, and larry here until the
grass grows green again, in the spring. 1t

A Scene In the PhiIadel lphia Police Court,

An old man and his wife were arrested
as vagrants, and brought before the p>lic,
Jude, where being required to give an nc
count Of himself the former replied:
'If you please, sir, had TO lie down in

That sentence was--"Old man, il you

ac ions Of Gisb, the forgcr, are known to
amount TO over 100000. Such was the
insinuating character Of the scamp, and
his success in gaining the confidence of the
people, that men who for six months wero
aware of his transactions, their own names
having been forged, rcfrained from expos
ing him on account Of personal feeling and
delicacyl They even suffered themselves
to besucd and judgments obtained upon
forged paper. The shrewdcst did not cs-
