A Novel Mining Com pamy.


New FORK. Dec. S.-The United States
Mining Investment Company is the name
of an organization just announced here,
the object Of which is stated to be special
ly that of bureau to meet pressing de-
mands for reliable information in relation
to gold and silver mines. For this pur-
pose large corps OF engineers will be
employed to examine all Of the best West
ern mines. and agencies will be established
in the mining districts. Only dividend
paying mines will receive the attention OF
the company. The belief of he organic
ers is that nearly ninety per cent. of the
mines the stock of which il offered in
Eastern markets are not worthy of en-
dOrsement.

Il IS said that the real reason of Senator
Christiancy's desire to leave the Senate is
that he has two grown sons, who have
caused him great trouble through their
dissipated habits. His young wife has re-
fused to go back to Lansing and live in his
house, where these BOYS are allowed to
come, The life at Washington, and malaria
of the capital, have combined with domestic
worries to undermine the Senator's health
and he thinks by going out of the country
entirely be will escape his domestic annoy

climate that will do him good. The
President, it is said, informed the Senator
that he could have either the mission to
Germany, Peru or Central America, but he
chose Peru on account of the climate and
the delightful situation of Lima.
A singular pension case came up in the
Senate, the other day. \ certain Mary land
soldier in the Federal army had, in the dis
charge OF his duty, taken a Confederate
soldier prisoner and brought him into the
Federal camp. The Confederate then and
there made an oath that he would xiv his
captor at the earliest opportunity. Some
time after this the Marylander was honor
bly, discharged from the army and went
home. One evening. while seated upon the
front .toop of his hOuse in sight of his wife,
this Confederate soldier. whom he had once
taken prisoner. appeared upon the scene
and shot down his former captor and he
lived but a few moments. Senator NOor-
hees and Senator White, who pressed this
claim, said that the widow of this man was
as much entitled to a pension as if her
husband had actually been in the Federal
service at the time of his death. Technical
objections were made, however, and the case
was postponed.

A Salt Lake correspondent of the Iribian-
recently held conversation with John
Taylor, the head of the Mormon Apostles,
upon the effect of the recent decision of the
Supreme Court affecting polygamy In the
course OF the interview the Apostle said
al am very sorry that Congress, through
its unwise action, has placed US in an attitude
of hostility. Polygamy is not crime,
per Sc: it was the action OF Congress that
made polygamy crime. As before stated,
the British Government allows one hundred
and eighty millions of their people to prac-
tice it, and by law protects them IN 1t. 1t

"You claim, then, polygamy as a prinei-
pie is of universal applicability, and could
be universally practlsed.
"Yes, sir. 1t is the normal condition Of

THE =. AND o. ROAD.


ST. JOHNsBURY, VT, Jan. 30.-The hear
Vermont division of the Portland ard
0gdensburg railroad for prior lien Of
$500. 900 on the road was set for an ad-
journed hearing before Chancellor Ross, in
this. village, to-day and the hotels are full
OF bondholders or their sympathetic at
torneys and great interest is manifested in
the hearing The fact that Judge Ross was
formerly director and clerk of
the corporation makes his position a
delicate one-a fact which he
seems to fully appreciate and he has been
irving to get some othe. Judge to sit with
him. The new move in the direction of
harmony is one by Bradley Barlow, OF st.
Albans. and it is being vigorously canvassed
and may result in some practical settle
ment of the different lien securities and
the possession of the road by new
company. Not q little feeling seems
to exist among bondholders, that the
matter of expenditures, use Of the funds
obtained, and general management
of the road should be made the
foundation of a thorough investigation,
and the removal &, the present receivers.
The parties preseSaare as follows: +. ID.

further Judge Ross stated that be had en-

have Judge Red6eld. A recess was taken
until o'clock for that purpose. II Judge

On Thursday the Senate took up the reso-
lutions of Mr.. Edmunds, declaring the valid
ity Of the 18th, l4th and 18th amendments
TO the Constitution, and Mr.. Morgan, of
Alabama, spoke in favor OF the substitute
submitted by him. He referred to the date
of the adoption of each amendment, and said
that the Senator from Vermont had never
considered it necessary until now to bring
the question oftheir validity before the Sem
ate and the country. The Senator now
seemed to think that some new affirmation
was necessary. The Senator wanted the
Democratic Senators now to pledge them
selves by resolution to keep their oaths to
support these amendments. Every Senator
on his side Of the chamber would rather have
this matter left to his own conscience. He
then argued that the constitutional amend
ments had been sOlemnly ratified, and that
there was no necessity for bringing this mat
ter back to the attention of the Senate.
State after State in the South had changed
its constitution to conform to the 18th
amendment, and yet the State oil Vermont
and other Northern States. had failed to do so.
Why had it never occurred to the Senator
from Vermont to use his magnificent powers
in the North, to 90 among the Northern
States, and ask them to do that which the
Southern States had done lie hoped now that
the Senator would convert himself into sort
OF missionary agent, with yiew, to having
the Northern States frame their constitu-
tions according to the 18th amendment, the
Southern States. except Kentucky, having
already done so.
Mr.. Morgan then explained his substitute
and said that it rested upon the ground that
the amendments were part of the COnstitu-
tiOn and as valid as any other part of it. lie
then read a recent remark OF Mr.. Eimunds
that when called upon to act as law maker.
the decisions Of the Supreme Court could
have no more influence over him than his
decisions could have over the Supreme
Court, and said that the real quarrel of the
Senator from Vermont was with the Supreme
Court of the United States 1t was Demo-
cratic doctrine to support the decisions Of
the Supreme Court. The resolutions Of the
Senator from Vermont now before the Senate
were an attack upon that doctrine. The
executive was simply the right hand of the
Judiciary to enforce its DEGREES. Did the
Senator from Vermont mean to leave out any
reference to the judiciary when he came to
reply? Would he deny that he ignored the
rights and power Of the Judiciary?
Mr.. Edmunds said that, lest he should
forget it, he would deny it now.
Mr.. Morgan then spoke of the reverence
the American people had for its judiciary,
and said no man would win his way who
commenced by discarding the Supreme tribu-
nal of the land.
