The ELECTION IN SALT LAKE. Com
menting on the municipal election in
Salt Lake City, on the 9Th, the Tribune
says:
The defeated party are jubilant to a
man. They declare that such a day was
never seen in this Territory before. They
call it the dawn OF ffeedom-the open
ing of free thought Hundreds of Brig
hams followers, who never dared to
think or act contrary to his supreme
will before, were heard on Monday to ex.
press desire for change in our city
affairs, and to bring this about did not
hesitate to vote liberal ticket. The
support of the opposition candidates i,
more than quadrup!e what a sitnilal
ticket has ever received in this city be-
fore; aud it is demonstrate truth that
If the election had been fairly conducted,
the opposition party would have polIed a
far heavier vote than the followers OF
Brigham. Without registration law,
with fraudulent election law con,errine
upon the wives, widows and daughters
OF citizens the elective franchise without
regard to age, nativity or previous con-
dItIon, and with heavy importatIons from
surrounding towns, the officers of the
election managed to swamp the opposi-
uon vote, and thus run up majority
which those ignorant of the unfair means
employed, would suppose constituted a
great victory.

Death of the King OF Hawaii.
San Francisco. Feb. 1.-THE steamer
City of Melbourne brings particulars Of
the death from bronchial disease of the
Hawaiian King Lunillilo on the 81 inst.
His demise had been expected several
days. The members of the Cabinet were
called together at once and ordered a

on the 4th the people at Kawahias de-
clared in favor OF David Kalakua as the
Kings successor. Queen Emma, widow
OF Kam.haha, is also named as his sue
cessor, and there will probably be a
severe contest in the Legislature over the
succession.
Particulars of the Kings Death.

steamer City OF Melbourne, from Sydney
and Honolulu, arrived to-day. bringing
news of the death of King Lunallilo,

Lunalllo should have named successor.
They proclaim for Kalakua.

BEAR MOVEMENTS

The San Francisco Alta gives an inter
esting article on the subject Of bears
in the stock market, and the motives
inducing the baseless fabrications and
lying rumors SO industriously circulated
by interested parties, with view to
depreciation OF stocks. We extract the
following:
The eYpedient of breaking the mark ct
down in order to shake OUT stocks is
not found to answer. The margins with
the brokers are good and sales cannot be
forced. while the numbers OF orders on
the market ut limits ensures that lower
price will cause stocks TO pass into
strong hands and make the "bear" posi-
ton worse. The effort is therefore TO
keep the public out until contracts are
covered and stocks 60 in for a rise. This
state of affairs gives rise to ceaseless
crop OF absurd rumors. which con-
tiEualy resppear. showing great poverty
of invention. We may enumerate some
Of these that we're current year since,
and which are now revived in IDEAL"
organs. Thus, in relation to Crown
Point. 1t is falsely stated that the
chief holders are realizing. The truth
is that Mr.. Hayward holds now, as
ever, so, DOL shares, and Messrs. Peart l.
Jones large proportion of the remain
ing 40 999 shares, which shares are all
held for dividends. Again, the falsehood
current last year is revived and whis,
pered conhdentially that there is only
on 1ttsi.I .in, it..tt 4, n
current dividend has not been earned.
The fact is that since that rumor started
by noted " bear" year since, the
mine has earned and paid Sc 900, O00
This month $500, 900 is paid from earn.
ings, leaving balance carried to surplus
fund, Notwithstanding that the state oil
the roads has interfered with reduction
There is now heavy machinery waiting
TO be sent up as soon as the roads will
permit transportation. The 14th Level
has now commenced yielding its ore, and
the 18th is getting ready. Another false,
hood is to the effect that Kentuck is to
be consolidated with the Crown Point
This was started some months since, and
is entirely baseless. We have thus allu-
ded to few fabrications intended to
make people sell their stock, aud, also,
to affect the price OF others. OF course
those who want to buy are quite willing
to see that effect. Lying cannot take
away the value of mine; if it could,
Grown Point and Belcher would have
been dead long since; and the S25, 900.
900 Of bullion annually produced, would
now be lying in the earth; but it can
brighten timid and unintelligent people
into selling their stock, and this it i:
which makes gambling for fall the
worst feature Of the stock market.
