HOUSE.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The House met for
general debate, Mr.. Palmer of Iowa in the
chair, and q few members in their seats.
Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, made a speech
against the postal-telegraph scheme.
Mr.. Reck opposed the project which ON the
opening of Congress was not recommended bs
either the President or Postmaster General,
but now it was urged as necessity. The whole
scheme was an effort to still further centralize
and consolidate all power in the hands of gov
eminent officials at Washington, and the pres
emit Postmaster General was an unfit depository
of such enormous power The scheme would
cost the country $50, 0O0, 900 outlay and the an
nual tax of $4,000, 900 to sustain it. 1t would
add $4,000 employees to the 10000 now salaried
by the government and all would have IT, be
subservient political tools of the Postmaster
General or be discharged. Our government
might as well take charge of railroads and ex-
press companies as of the telegraph as they are
equally dangerous monopOlies
Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he was
sorry to hear Mr.. Beck say he had no remedy to
propose for the alleged present mismanagement,
but he regarded the Hubbard proposition as one
tending at least to furnish a remedy, although
he Dawes considered the present manage
ment of telegraphs as not giving any canse of
complaint. He did not favor the Postmaster
Generals system, and had no idea of support
ing it, He did not clearly see any relief in the
Hubbard plan, but it showed the dawn of some
relief and he was sorry to hear Mr. Beck reflect
Mr.. Beck said that he had only intended to
speak of Hubbard as the attorney of an insol-
vent corporation that had been swallowed up
by the Western Union Company.
Mr.. Dawes-In whose arms is the gentleman
from Kentucky willing to repose-as Samson
in the arms of Delilah?
Mr.. Beck said he had no desire to stand by
the Western Union Telegraph Company nor by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for he
thought the country was going to be the worst
corporation ridden country in the world, but he
was more afraid of the great corporation known
as the Government of the United States than
any other.
Speeches were also made by Mr.. Wells, of
Missouri, in favor of the organization of the
indian Territory of Oklahama; by Mr.. Town
send of Pennsylvania, on the protection of home
industry; by Mr. Chapman in favor of grant
of land for schools for the District of Columbia
by Mr.. Coghlan, of California, in support of
the policy of preserving public lands for the
toiling poor, and by Mr.. Duell for system of
bounty land warrants to the soldiers and sailors
of the late war. Adjourned.

UTAH.

VETO OF AN ACT PROVIDING FOR STATE
CoNvENTIoN-THE SAINTS INDIGNANT THEREAT.
SALT LAKE City, Jan. 27.-Gov Wood has
vetoed the act for holding a Convention to pre-
pare State Constitution. He says that with
out special Congressional authority the Terri
torial Legislature has no right to act upon the
subject of admission as a State. Good judge
ment, he says, would require that before any
convention be called, Utah should place her
self in harmonious relations with the general
government. All violations of the laws of
Congress should cease. Polygamy should be
abolished and laws enacted in accord with the
laws of Congress.
The veto message created much excitement
and the members expressed themselves with
bitter invectives,
we nonentities? Are we serfs? Have we rem
dered ourselves criminal by putting the power
into the hands of the people to ask for admis-
sion into the Union"' '''The polygamy clause
of this message" said he, 81 consider an open
insult to u.s. 1t is worn threadbare and has
been stencil in the nostEils Of ali respectable
people. What laws have we violated, and if
any, are we not punished? Even murderers are
brought to testify against us and every means
used to prove us guilty of polygamy. If con-
ted States, why don't the federal judges prose-
cute us under the United States laws? Is this
House to be insulted by such charges as are
contained in the document from the Governor
say no. throw it back in his face and tell
him it is a falsehood. Voices hear, hear) We
are American citizens and demand the rights of
such. or
Sames w. Young did not care snap for the
veto, and asked no odds Of the Governor or any
other man. @
Mr.. lockwood said they had been abused
long enough and he would gladly die martyr
to the Mormon cause. If there was any of the
blood of our forefathers of '76 in the Assembly
they would at once resent the insult.
On the motion of j. w, Young, q committee
to act with similar committee from the Coun-
Gil was appointed to draft a joint resolution for
the purpose named in the vetoed act The same
committee was instructed to draw resolution
expressive of the sense of the House in regard
to the offensive charges in the Governors mes

THE TREATY WITH HONDURAS.
Secretary Fish, in recent communication to
our minister to Honduras, says the only obliga-
ton upon this Government under the treaty
with Honduras relative to the inter-oceanic
railroad is to protect it when completed from
occupation or obstruction by any foreign power
or even Honduras itself, and to abstain from
such occupation or obstruction ourselves.
THE cooLIE TRADE.
To the present date 100000 COLES have been
introduced into Cuba at a cost of $500, 600.
Our diplomatic and consular representatives in
China, being unsuccessful in their efforts to
prevent the trade, have laid the matter before
eur Government.
CANT COME IN.
There is no probability of the admission of
Utah into the Union. A number of members
of Congress say that under no circumstances
will any territory having a less population than
tne IeueraI raClo Ior q representative DE au-
mitted.

that the House will pass the Senate resolution
for adjournment on the Doth of May. The

ABB1E HELEN LrBBY.-When the Young.

ABBnE HELEN LIBBY.-When the young, the
promising and beautiful are removed from our
midst by death, it is always easy for afflicted
parents or friends to bow in calm submission to
the DEGREES of Divine Providence; but when
such, like the subject of this notice, are taken,
and are themselves soothed and sustained by an
abiding trust, and can lie down calmly upon the
couch of death, it is indeed source of very
great consolation to surviving friends And if
any power is equal to sustain the dying or the
living friends of the dying, through such
scene, it is faith in the declarations and prom
ises of years: The deceased, daughter of
Mr.. Washington Libby, was possessed of
slngularly sweet and even disposition, and free
from so many of the more usual failings of
youthful character. And when warned by an
insidious disease that time must be very short
with her on earth, she was not discouraged, but
though life looked bright before her, she cheer
fully took the hand of Jesus, as it were, and
descended into the dark valley. Fortunate will
it be for all, if they could meet their providen-
tial fate as hopefully as she did. Beautifully
she lay in death! much more so will she appear
in Heaven.
