rAe ps,ter

The above committee has commenced
the investigation Of the cipher dispa-
tches. in accordance with instructions
given by Congress.
The ASS .rtion has heretofore been
made by the Democrats that the Repaid
Leans who sent dan aging dispatches
during the Presidential controversy
were permitted by president ogton. of
the telegraph company. to search for
and obtain the copies of those dispatch
cs from the telegraph offices and destroy
them; which fast. it was asserted, nc
counted for the defiant attitude assumed
by Chandler aud others il regard to
that matter. This assertion has been
confirmed by the evidence given before
the committee.
Assistant Postmaster General Brady
tsstifos that q package Of dispatches
were given him for saie Keeping. That
Chandler, Hiscock aud other Rapubii-
Cans had access to them, examined them,
took some away and made copies of
others. AIR. Brady look from among
the dispatches those which passed be-
tween himself and Mr.. Tyner. He said
he would produce those sent by him if
they could be found. There WAS MOTH
ing in them he feared the world seeing.
b question at once arises il he was
no afraid Of the world seeing them why
did he remove them? Employees of
telegraph offices have also testified that
RePublicans~wero allowed access to aud
to remove copies of dispatches from
their offices. No doubt those persons,
like the Postmaster General, will offer
to produce those dispatches removed by
them. and il they are produced it will
no doubt appear that they are of a very
harmless nature. AZ it will be n very
easy matter for them to get up dis
patches Of that kind for that purpose.

rare. and Freight. oue.tio..

ltseems to BE- pretty generally con-
ceded that none Of the bills heretofore
introduced in the Legislature on the
above subject are free from grave OBJ
ieetions. The proposition now is to
have a joint committee appointed in
which every county in the State shall
be represented for the purpose OF draft
ing q bill which shall meet the require
menhs OF the case. 1t must be admit.
ted by all who have examined the sub
ject that il is a very difficult one to
deal with. The trouble is that any
legislatioA in regard to freiShts and
fares between points in this State will
not reach the great cause u complaint
which /, the rates on freight and pas
Q .ge from the east and from California,
and although it is commended by some
that the courts have decided that .
State may regulate the charges Of II
railroad company to and from point.
without iss borders. yet as that would
clearly some under tie head of . reSu-
lGtion of commerce between States
there must be y mistake about the
courts having decided it constitutional.
1t is certain hat much more good is
to be expected from the operation o
the Regain bill now before Congress than
fEoI all the State Legislating that can
be done. II that bill were already i'll
operation il would enable US better to
protect ourselves by State Legislation,
but it must be recollected that rs the
law now stands it is within the power
Of the Railroad Company to ruin every
local industry in the State il they de-
sire TO do 20. by giving special rates
from California and from the cast on
such articles as arc raised or inanufact.
uTed here.
Iu l"gisla;ing on this subject it is the
part OF wisdom to take into considers
tion all of these facts, and act as pru-
dence may dictate, always carefully
avoiding being influenced by anything
like vind!ctiYencss.

Phoebe Record. There is an old resi-
dent of Phoebe, who was at one time a
Bishop Of high standing in the church
Of Latter Day Saints, but on becoming
wealthy he concluded to jump the Nor
mon game, alse several Of his wives, or
concubines, as the Saints at this late
day call them. When he left the church
he left with the curses Of Brigham
Young upon his head. who told him
that he would become poor and misera-
BILE in his old age, and such has proven
to be the case. Seeing that his chanc. $
among the gentiles were not very bright
he rejoined the Mormon flock, becom-
ing n strong advocate Of polygnmy and
all the teachings Of tho church Of Zion.
He then applied to Taylor for the Nor
mon mission to Cyprus, but brother
Taylor having 10 faith in this old rep
ented RAM, refused to give him the mis-.
zion. lie can now turn his attention TO
raising potatoes and garden truck.

The Bin TO Restrict Chinese
Immigration.

The above bill wa passed in the
House Of Representatives in Washing
ton on January 2Sth, by n vote of los
TO ~ being Il little over a two thirds
vote. The bill was supported by the
Democrats almost unanimously, and
all tho opposition that it met with was
made by the Republicans. Townsand
a prominent Republican from New
York made a universal brotherhood OF
man and fatherhood of God" speech
against it. Garfield Conger and other
Republicans objected to the bill and
wanted it amended in various ways
but the Democrats would not allow
any change to he made. The bill as
passed makes it u misdemeanor for the
Master of any vessel to tako on boaid
for passage to the United States moro
than fifteen Chinese passengers at any
one time. There is very little doubt
but that it will also pass the Senate
and become a law, so at last the people
Of this coast will get tho relief which
has been so long sought.
