WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Can-
non, the Utah Delegate, has gone
home for the recess. He will come
pfefareI to say, what guarantees
can be given that the practice of
polygamy shall be abandoned if
Utah can be admitted as a State
aud saved fiom further trouble
while in o Territorial condition.
The general opinion here is that
she will not be admitted as State.
1t is proposed that an amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States, forbidding polygamy and
granting Congress full power to
punish 1t by law, would furnish such
a safeguard as would make an
admission measure strong enough
to carry. OF Gov. Emery's friends
now in this city, one of the most
active is Chief Justice Hunter, of
Utah. In conversation with the
President, he assured the latter
that the Governor could be depend
ed on to act fearlessly in any emer-
gency, and that 1T will be a great
mistake to fail to reappoint him
now, when affairs in Utah seem to
be approaching a crisis, and when
there is perfect harmony and un.
derstanding among the Federal Of
ficers of the Territory. The Presi-
dent has great confidence in Judge
Hunter, and will probably be in
fiuenced by his advice.

Democrats here the opinion is
growing that Tilden will appear as

Convention, with New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut at his back,

those States. Judge Field Is being
discussed so favorably in Demo
cratic circles as q Presidential candi-
hou hA do ad nrf "a
while to show why he would not be
available. A leading argument is
that be Is monometallst. To this
his friends reply that he is on
record as insisting, in his judicial
opinions, that the Constitution
contemplates the coinage of silver
as we'll as gold coin; and further
more that his views are well known
to ba opposed to the use of gold
alone.
