vsrs: When Reverdy johnson was
xbout leaving for Europe, = client hsv-
ing heavy suits pending in the United
States Supreme Court, asked the minister
to Engi2nd what attorney could fill his
place. Several were designated, and
objections were found TO exist. Rsverdy
johnson thought = moment, and said,
''if the partisan politics Of Albert Pike,
who hiss no superior among American
lawyers, might not prejudice your case,
would comLaend him. This Is the only
risk you would incur; detsrmine for

the law, aud those who hear him are not
apt TO dissent from his conclusions"
Such, SUBSTANTIALLY, were the words Of
Reverdy Johnson. General Pike will

LONDON, September THE Times
says the annexation Of Mexico, to the
United States is desirable, but it could
not be accomplished at present without
8 needless expenditure OF money and
blood.
Mr.. Murphy, the champion of Pre-
testantism in Manchester, is a candidate
to represent Manchester. Several thou-
sand persons were present at q meeting
in his interest on Saturday, at which the
conduct Of the Magistrates towards Muir
ply Ia the Ashton riots last May, was
severely denounced. The meeting was
attacked by . mob of Irish Roman Cath
olics, who drove off the speaker and a
sanguinary fight ensued. The police
finally succeeded in quelling the riot
and arresting several of the leaders.
Subsequently there were several minor
disturbances. During Saturday night
and Sunday morning several persons
were badly injured. There is much ex-
element in the city.
The Daily NeWg, commenting on the
message of b new American Minister.
Reverdy Johnson, says: . Difficult cues
tons are TO be treated but Euglaud has
given sbu1daot proof Of her faith. In
sending Mr.. Johnson TO this country the
United States Government shows It's de-
sire TO settle the pending disputes, aud
such a disposition Is the best guarantee
that the negotiation will be brovght to a

HENRY EDGERToN ON MCCONNELL

A night or two ago Henry Edgertor
wentto Truckee City to make speech
John R. Mcconnell, the great - shin
bone" expounder, followed him up and
challenged him to debate. Of course
the challenge was accepted. EdgertoD
opened the discussion in a speech of an
hour or more and then Mcconnell re-
sponded. In the course of bis remarks
be said that if Edgerton's party and
principles prevailed in the coming cleo
ton, Cinnamon would be accounted bet
ter than white men, and, that true to his
precepts, Edgerton would be claiming
that his grandmother was a Cbinawo
man. Edgerton had the close; and in
reply to McConnell's charge said that it
was evident that if the ku klux were
successful in seducing the Freedmen Of
the South to vote their ticket, and judg-
ing from the result of old time associa-
tons of plantation life, Mcconnell
would claim, as indicative of his
desire to be identified with the new
condition, that his grandmother was an |
Octoroon. When the meeting was
breaking up, three cheers were proposed |
for Grant and Colfa1 and three cheers /
for Henry Edger,on upon which Henry
rose to his feet ard proposed three
cheers for McCoGnell's grandmother
This was one shot too much for Mac

The rolling Of the cars upon the grea'
Pacific Railroad has set every thing upon
the Plains, except Salt Lake City, in
motion. What is not upon the rack is
upon wagons and mail coaches; ana
what is not packed into wagons is a
mule back or on foot. Towns are toted

thorities being very nomads-organized
