A large mass meeting of Liber-
ais was held in Salt Lake on
the night Of tho 18th, to peti.
,tion Congress for a registration act
and for the abolishment Of woman suf
fiage as exercised in Utah. A
memorial was to be prepared. A
determination was expressed to
fight to the bitter end the abuse of
the elective franchise, as practiced
by the church authorities. The op-
ponents of the church claim a legal
majority. Meetings were being
held in the principal mining dis
tricts to sustain the Federal judic-
iary. Gen. Connor repudiated his
election as member of the State
Convention.

The officers of the U. p. r. II.
Company say that they have spared
no expense or efforts to overcome
the snow blockade, but the weather
has been unprecedented in the his
tory of the country, and owing to
the snow and wind-storms, it has
simply been an impossibility to
keep the road open. They now
think they understand the difficult
ties. to contend against, however,
and promise another season will
see them prepared for any emerg-
ency. They say the only obstruc-
tions are between Laramie and
Washikce, along the divide, q dis
tance Of one hundred and ninety
miles. They dispute that there has
been any suffering among detained
passengers for fuel or food, and say
there will not be, as they are sup
piled with an abundance by the
Company. Seven westward bound
passenger trains were detained at
Separation on the 18th, and two
eastward bound trains at Green
river-the latter waiting until the
former should pass the blockade.
At various points along the road
there were eight hundred westward
bound cars Of freight, and some
two hundred eastwarl-bound.

Mexico.
F. BACKENSTO,
Chr. Cent. Com.

The news from Mexico to the
Sth inst, represents the rebellion as
still uncrushed. The Government
has gained advantages in the State
of Guerrara, but the larger half of
the States of Puebla and Vera
Cruz were in the hands Of the
Revolutionists. Domingurzar, the
Revolutionary Commander, was in
the State Of Vera Cruz. It is gen
orally believed that Gov. Felix
Diaz, whose body was brought to
Pachulta on the 23d ult., was
assassinated. Juarez is gradually
increasing lis powers into a Die
tatorship. 1t is reported, says the
telegram, that he has applied to
President Grant for assistance, and
that Grant replied that he would
support Juarez as a last alterna-
tive. The number of reyolutionists
now in the field is estimated at 80
600, the largest ever in arms. The
bulk of the federal forces are con-
centrating in Gunaguato and in
the Capital. The revolutionists
have captured Aquaz. A plan is
proposed for Juarez to retire or
resign and permit Mejia, his Minis
ter of War, to assume the Presi-
dency. A large force Of revolu-
tionists was marching on Guada-
lajara, and CONSERVATION prevailed
there.

Severe Storm.

This winter has been prolific in
severe storms in different parts Of
the country. On Tuesday of last
week a terrible storm visited Iowa,
in the region of Sioux City. The
weather at six o'clock in the after
noon was mild and pleasant, when,
without a moments warning, a
storm came on which ragged with
great fury. The wind blew a
hurricane, prostlating the telegraph
wires in every direction, and doing
damage to buildings. The ther-
mometer fell forty degrees in two
hours, the weather becoming very
cold. All the trains on the wes-
tern division of the Illinois Central
were showed in, and it was feared
that the suffering and loss Of Life
would exceed that caused by any
previous storm. Mr.. Samuel Elizan
was known to have frozen to death
on his way home in the storm.
Other deaths were reported. AT
last accounts the weather stood
eighteen degrees below zero. The
same storm extended over the en-
tire North and West. AT Chicago
the thermometer fell FIVE degrees
In two hours.
