shall hereafter be permitted to take a
seat in that body, George Q, Cannon "a
much married person, has been renom-
mated, and will probably be elected
Congressional delegate by the Utah
Mormons. According TO General But
ler's reasoning there is no legal power
to exclude Cannon, whatever his char
acter or habits, if he shall be lawfully
chosen, but there are many others,an
we hope majority in Congress, who
believe its constitutional power to de
termine the qualifications of its mem
bers reaches beyond mere examina-
ton as to whether election ballots have
been properly cast and counted This
doctrine is as old as the Wilkes case
in the English Parliament, and ought
to have enough virtue left at least to
enable Congress to protect itself
against the intrusion of professional
bribe- libertines and horse
thieves. No constituency, however
demorllized, has the right to cover
criminal practices with the shield of
office, or to dishonor an entire legisla-
tive body by seating therein an undis-
guised and shameless lawbreaker.-lO y.

Petrifaction vs.. Putrefaction.

To the Editor Of the Scientific American;
In the Columbian Register, of New

inferred and found to be petrlled At
death the weight was 145 pounds, and
when disinterred, 1920 pounds, the
gain being 700 per cent.
If the body retained the same pro
portions, it seems to me that the claims
of the skins worm are rejected, ana
that petrifaction takes full sway as
