CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST IN Utah.
We were at first inclined to regard the
contest of G. Q. Cannon's right to seat
in Congress, by General Maxwell, of
Utah, as chimerical in the extreme, and
only intended to give a national notoriety
to the latter. Recent developments in
the evidence being taken to prepare the
case for presentation to Congress, how
ever, has convinced us that there is
more in it than we were at first inclined
to believe. We were we'll aware, of
course, that many fraudulent votes had
been cast in all parts of the Territory, at
the late election, for Cannon, but even
If all these were thrown out his majority
would still be very large. The strong
points relied upon by General Maxwell
seems to be that Cannon, at the time Of
his election, was living in poligamy in
open violation of Congressional statute
concerning Federal Office holders, and
that he was therefore ineligible to the
Office, and all votes cast for him were
utterly void. General Maxwell having
received the next highest number of
votes cast, Cannon being ineligible,
would be entitled to the seat in Con-
gress, now claimed by Cannon. There
seems therefore to be a reasonable prob
ability that Maxwell will yet obtain tn.
seat in Congress for which the contest is
now being made.

IT is said by Carson correspondents
that the speech of John p Jones, Sem
ator elect, delivered in the Assembly
Chamber, following the announcement
of his election, was received with almost
as much favor by Democrats as Repub-
licans. His bold declaration that in all
future issues which may arise between
organized and banded capital and the
people, he will DO found steadfast and
faithful to the interests of the latter, was
warmly received by the members of that
party who were present.

New York, Jan. 2S-At White Plains,
yesterday, the Greeley will case was
again before the Surrogate, no compro-
mise having been made. Neither of the
Misses Greeley was present, and the
only directly interested party in Court
was Storms, executor of the will of 1871.
JAS. H. Choate, counsel for the Misses
Greeley, said if two weeks postpone
meDt We're granted he was satisfied
compromise could be effected. He had
decided upon further examination, as
the case now presented different phase,
all legatees under the will of II having
signed a remuneration, and no others had
right to press claims against the estate.
The Surrogate decided that the ex-
ecutors of the will of II could
appear. Oliver Johnson, G. Runkle and
Alvin johnson were then called, and each
testified to the belief that Greeley was
not in his right mind for some weeks be-
fore his death. Case postponed to the
Sd of February.

BILE under present embarrassments and

stances the trustees of the Union Pacific

believed the Union Pacific, with its roll

New York, Jan. 29.-The latest letters

she may continue her advance unmo.

ASH WEDNESDAY,


This DAY. set apart from the early ages
of the Catholic Church as one OF special
humiliation, is so called from the custom
'sprinkling ashes upon the head in token
of mans mortality. The custom still pre-

the extreme of establishment in contrast
with the wild gayety Of yesterday. has
only TO enter Catholic Church this morn
ing during service. He Will there see, at
the close of the mass, the worshipers all
rise, and without regard to rank or any
other distinction, pass slowly along the
crowded aisles toward the altar. Here
kneeling. each one il turn bows his head
before the priest. who imprints upon the
forehead the sign Of the cross in ashes. pro-
nouncing at the same time. III the Latin Ian
guage these mournful words: "Remember
man thou art but dust, and unto dust thou
must return" The object Of this sad and
humiliating ceremonial seems to be to
prepare the mind for the forty days fast
Of Lent. by recalling to it the worthless
ness Of the body and its inevitable doom.
It says. as it were, "why pamper the
body, which is at least but banquet for
the worms, and is il the meanwhile but
hindrance to spirituality? Fast, rather.
and pray that We enter not into tempta-
ton" This principle OF degrading the
body was a prevalent superstition of the
middle ages, and still fingers in the
Catholic Church, although by no means
exerting the motive power which it once
did. The brave men and fair women who
submit their brows in these days to the
notifying ashes. do not the less value the
inward dedication or outward adomment
of their bodies on account Of this tempo
rary reminder of its ultimate destiny; but
going home will quickly remove the dis
figuring ashes from their toreheads, hav-
ing already banished the "0sems'to from
tleir minds.

VERY IMPORTANT.

Ia view ef the great necessity for rail-
road connection between New Orleans and
Shreveport, and, We may say, a most flour
ishing portion of Texas. We can not refrain
from expressing our establishment at the
apathy that has been evinced in the Legis-
lature in passing an act to incorporate the
Louisiana Central Railroad Company.
This very importan: measure to the mer-
camille and planting interests Of our State
was introduced into the Legislature in
the commencement Of the present session
with the view of giving ample oppor-

named in the act are men Of extensive
means and are undoubtedly able to build
the road from Nermilioavillc to Shreve-
port, if they are granted the right OF way,
which is ali they ask from the State. Mr.
Eber Ward, Of Detroit. who stands at the
head Of tie new company, Is one OF the
largest capitalists in the West, and a most
extensive iron dealer. He is a man that
has already made his mark in the West,
and in doing 50 has made an immense for

Easily SATISFIED.

And now there is another furry in
thigh Fusion circles" in Washington,
because President Grant called at the
Capitol on Monday and had an interview
with the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. at is said he urged
action, but it is believed" he did not
mean anything antagoniStic to the liter
ests Of Warmoth. Jacques. and the Flu
sionists generally. Some Of the more
hopeful Of the thigh Fusionists express
the greatest satisfaction with the situa-
ton. -
OF course if Congress takes decided &C
ton in our case, and SUCH action is at
issue with the executive. the President and
all the world will be bound by it; but we
see no indication Of any such result 1t is
more probable that Congress will be too
glad to leave the whole responsibility with
the President. The Republicans out Of
Congress naturally prefer that some con-
frmatory action should be taken to
strengthen the position Of the President, as
well as the position assumed by our State
government; but this is not an essential
point, and may easily be waived. The
hopefulness Of this or that candidate for
the United States Senate has but little TO
do With it. Hope is VIGOROUSLY peren-
nal growth. and is frequently INDUCED in
by those who have nothing else 20 sustain
them. 1t has been the handspring in the
Fusion movement in this State from first
to last, and We shall expect 80 hear the
discounted schemers exclaim with their
last expiring accents. when their doom in

But while all, or at least two Of the Flu
sionists in Washington, are SO we'll salts
fed with the situation things are far from
lovely at home. On Monday, when the
vote had been taken at Odd Fellows Hall.
and q full quorum reported present and
voting, Senator holland rashly drew aside
the thin drapery and disclosed the grin
ming skeleton in the closet. Only fifteen
Senators were present. which. being four
less than quorum, showed the fraud in
open characters which is daily racticed.
This was followed by a proposition to adj
iourn sine die. It is doubtful whether the
McEnery government can hang together
much longer. Deserted by the few mon
grel men whom they first succeeded in
dragoonins into reluctant support. ig
nored by the President. condemned by
the State courts, and characterized by the
Senate committee as the offspring of Or
gained fraud, they have but a gloomy
outlook ahead. They have need Of all
the stifening which the sanguine War
moth and complacent McMillen can afford
them by their expression of great salts
faction" Moreover, when We reflect that
sixty days more time is wanted to produce
any result, it will be seen that the salts
faction sprung rather from moral than ma
tcrial sources
