eontssting on the grounds that Geo.

avowsd polygamlst. The majority Of
the Election Committee Of the House
yesterday reported that Cannon wal

titled to his seat. Both reports were
adopted, therefore Cannon takes hi'
seat In Congress a. Delegate from
Utah. The House, on motion OF Har-
rissn, Of the Election Committee, au.
thorizsd the appointment of CON-
mlt,ee to investigate the charges Of
the polygamic practices Of Cannon.
1t would appear to DO high timo that
thls were done. But In all conscience
we would like TO know tho necessity
Of this inquest. Does Cannon deny
that he ss polygamlst? Does he not
rather boast Of it and justify the sys-
TEN publicly. He certainly dsss so
In Salt Lake City. Has he gone back
on himself In Warrington? The wri-
ter hereof had the felicity Of meeting
this apostle OF concublnage and adul-
terry. In the Summer OF 1869, at Salt
Lake City. We called at hls office,
wero introduced and listened to =
eulogy upon the divine ordinance OF
polygsmy, Its beneits morally, social.
ly aud physically, until In sheer amaze
ment aud disgust, we took eur leave.
George Q. Cannon then openly
boosted that he wa, polyE-
amlst. That he was living with
several women. each Of whom no
called his wife. Does lie do so to-day,
or doe, hs deny hls bsstial, soul-ls-
grading practics,r II the former DO
true what Is the use OF n committee to
decide tho question? II tho latter DO
his claim let tho Investigation DO had,
and that speedily. This nan who now
holds a seat in Congress, on equal
terms with the delegates from Cel0ra-
ds, Arizona and ether Territories OF
this Union, 10 guilty OF what, In any
other civilized country on the globe,
would send him to n dungeon. He Is
guilty OF that. which, In every other
stats and Territory OF this nation, IL es-
tsemed n damning crime, and for the
commission OF which scores OF both
men and women are yearly sent to
prison. And jet TIL, lecherous apostle
of a moustrous relic Of OF n barbarian,
custom which to-day only obtains
among half civilized and barbsrous ma
lions. Is admitted to the councils OF
the most progressive and enlightened
nation on the Globe. IL II not a damn
ing blot upon the fair fame Of this
country; q disgrace most foul; a
stencil In the nostrlls OF a;ciyillzed peo-
pie.

NoRwIoH-The death of GEORGE Corr, an
announcement of which will be found else

been afflicted with fever sores on his right leg
and hip for fourteen years, and was at times
great sufferer. A few weeks previous to his death
he recovered sufficiently TO be able to 90 about
some, but taking cold, was attacked with yom-
iting and severe pain In his leg. His pbysi-
clan was called and found 1t necessary to make
missions on his leg, which was swelled badly
from the foot to the body 1t discharged freely,
but soon began to mortiiy, and terminated in
his death, in forty-eight hours. The second
day after the physician performed tho operation
he discovered the left side of his own face and
eye swelling and growing sore and very painful,
appearing like the swelling on Colts leg. lie
soon after was called 10 sec the father Of the
deceased, and found him with leg that re-
sembled his sons, being swollen very badly up
to the body. lie found it necessary to make
an incision, and did so as near the body as pos
sible, as deep as the bone. Ii discharged very
freely. lie also found Mrs. Colt, the mother
of the deceased with a painful swelling OK
tending from the shoulder up the side Of her
iace, and around her neck, which resembled
the complexion and appearance Of Mr.. Colts
leg and the daughter had sore on her arm,
as she said where she washed her brothers
clothes. The hired mans neck and forehead
were swollen, and resembled the appearance Of
the others. Under his treatment they are all
now doing well. lie cannot account for this
strange occurrence-but that 1t should happen
about the time Of the death Of the young man
is very singular. This information have from
the physician himself, who is W. II. M. Howard.
