Prom the Terminus.

A correspondent of the San Francisco Bul,
letin, writing from Ogden, has the following
to say concerning the terminus Of the Utah
& Northern railroad:
"Where the northern terminus of the Utah
& Northern railroad will De is unknown
except to those who control its management.
That it will be pushed in a direction so as tc
secure the business of Helena, Virginia City
Butte. and other important sections of Mon.
tana, there is no doubt, but where it is to enc
would puzzle, l think, even a Philadelphia
lawyer. Thu prospect of the Northern Pacific
being soon completed in the same section Of
territory may have some influence upon the
Utah q Northern railroad and cause some
change in what's believed to be the programme
at the present time"

Mr.. Gould and his party were taken in
charge of Senator Caldwell and a committee
of citizens, and visited Fort Leavenworth,
calling on Gen. Pope. TIL party returned
and were driven around the city at 3 O'Clock.
About 100 of our principal merchants and
business men partook of a banquet at the
Planters House Capt. w. II. Insley presided.
The various toasts were responded to by
Gould, Clark, Talmage, Dawes, Judge Still
liEgs, DR.. Medley, and E. R. Anthony. Sup't
Clark says that Gould's speech here was the
first one he had ever made. Gould said in
substance as follows:
81 am not used to making speeches and
never made one in my life. Ifeel very highly
honored, however, by this reception which
has been given by your people. 1 have in
vested largely in Western railroads, and l
have arrived at a lime of life when invest
ments are not made for the purpose of
making money, but for entertainment and to
pass away the time. l shall spend three or
four months each year in the West, giving my
personal attention to my interests in fact l
enjoy myself more at this than being confined
by business at home. 1 want to see the West
develop the interests of thisc country. We all
should work together to this end, the people
and the railroads. l hope the people of the
West will never be disappointed in the
expectations they have based upon the new
system of 1ailroads.-LeauentrOrth dispatch,

THE DEGENHART TRIAL,

From a legal gentleman who arrived yester-
day from Deer Lodge, We learn that the ex-
element which resulted from the unexpected
termination of the Degenhart trial, has, to a
large extent subsidized in that village, and that
the uncomplimentary talk INDUCED in by a
large proportion of the poulation of Deer
Lodge and Butte concerning the jury and
officers of the court has upon sober reflection
been discontinued.
TIL opposite version of the story which
first became current in Butte materially mod
ifes, if it does not arnul the animus of the
complaints first circulated against the district
court officers and jury. Our informant, who
is a lawyer of reputation and v~eracity, states
that the charge of Judge Galbraith, though
severely technical was entirely impartial and
fair his Honor merely laying down the law
without any appearance of prejudice either
for or against the prisoner.
Tn address of Attorney Mayhem, to which
our informant attentively listened, is spoken
of as being concise and logical, but not vim
dictiye. The report current in Butte alleging
that Mr.. Mayhem did not labor with sufficient
energy for the prisoners conviction is ex-
planned by the gentleman as follows: In the
course of the trial, the district attorney was
charged by the opposing counsel wltha desire
10 prosecute the prisoner, and it was to refute
this unjust allegation that Mr.. Mayhem, in his
address to the jury. disclaimed harboring any
personal animosity towards the defendant.
This disclaimer, it appears, was construed by
certain parties as a plea for the release of
Degenhart, and this one-sided report is all
that reached Butte in relation to the case.
As for the jury they evidently gave the law
as ~propounded by Judge Galbraith, and the
evidence as elected by Attorney Mayhem, the
fullest consideration, their deliberations occu-
plying upwards of ten hours. The only fact
that can be urged against them is, that where
as, at the outset they stood four for
a~cquittal and eight for conviction, they ulti-
mately rendered a verdict favorable to the
defendant. This shows either that the
majority of them were unable to get an intel
gent grasp on the testimony or that they were
men whose opinions could be too easily infii-
enced by the arguments OF their co,jurors to
qualify them for efficient jury service. After
the verdict it Is said that attorney Mayhem
requested the discharge of the jury, asserting

Severe Accident.

MIR. G. Hutchinson, a resident of Madison
county, was on his way to Helena last Mon
day, with a load of -four. While coming
down the divide between Crow Creek and
Jefferson City, he struck the leaders with a
whip: they jumped forward, broke the
stretchers, got away and threw Mr.. Hutchin-
son from the wagon directly between
the wheel horses. One wheel passed over his
arm, crushing it 50 badly that it will probably
necessltate amputation. The other wheel
passed over his head, tearing the scalp of
from a short distance above the eyes to the
back of the head. After the accident he lay
on the ground for some hours, where he was
discovered by a passing freighter and taken to
Nave's ranch. A physician was summoned
and his wounds dressed. 1t is thought his
skull was not broken, but at the time our in
formant left the fact had not been definitely

CANNON'S EXPULSION.

The petition presented in Washington yes
terday asking for an investigation into the
private character of the polygamous delegate,
Cannon, with a view of testing his right to
a seat in the National Congress, ought to have
been presented several years ago before that
lawless apostle had been admitted to the
House. However, it is not particularly cred
table to the sense of personal honor
which Congressman should possess, that a
petition is necessary to cause an inquiry
into Cannon's fitness for the position.
If the members of our national legislature
had any self respect, they would not for one
day tolerate the presence of a confessed felon.
They are sworn to uphold the laws of the
United States and to take measures for their
enforcement, yet in The face of their sworn
duty they permit a polygamlst who contesses
to the open violation of a law originated in
the House in 1862, and the validity of which
has been confirmed by the highest tribunal III
the land, to sit as an honored member of their
body, an active participation in their councils.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Cannon will
be expelled from the seat he disgraces. 1t
brings a blush of mingled shame and indig-
nation to the cheek OF every American citi-
zen when he reflects upon the fact that a man
with six wives is allowed to retain his seat as
a member of Congress.

Chloride got out of bed suddenly the other
night and caught his daughter sitting on the
Ian Of a Young masher for whom,he entertains
an especial aversion. Walking up to the
couple, he collared one with either hand, and
holding them at arms length, he said, address
sing the girl: 4 ~.
aLizzie, didtI tell you not to allow this
Young fellow to come fooling around here ?
What you been doing ?"
We are getting up q tableau for the
church, father" said Lizzie.
"a tablow; what was them smacks l
heard?"
aThat's in the tableau," said the young
man. @
ooh! they was, was they? And what was
all this huggin' I saw, about?"
"That is in the tableau, too" said Lizzie.
ooh! IL is, is it?" said Chloride, releasing
the girl, and dragging the young mar to The
window. He noisted the sash, seized the
buck by the collar and back Of his pants, and
dropped him out.
"Oh father, what are you doing?"
shrieked Lizzie, in ~agonized tones, as the
howl of a man and the growl of a dog came
up from below.
Nothing, nothing at ALL" said Chloride.
~ was having a little tableau for the benefit
of this family, and that was one of the most
affecting situations. l did feel kinder sorry
for that cooD," remarked the father, when
telling his wife the incident, "for that dog
hates a masher worse than l do castor oil, but
discipline is going to be maintained in this
family, if l have to feed every young man in
town to that dog."-Eureka (Neu.) Leader.

Jury should be empaneled.

jury should be empaneled.
Concerning the rumors which reached
Butte just after the verdict of acquittal had
been made known, it will be remembered
the MINER advised the public to suspend their
denunciation until reports had been heard
from parties better qualified to Judge as
to the facts, for, recognizing the importance
of maintaining the respect due to the courts
of law, it was cur plain duty as far as pos
sible to arrest the general condemnation until
the rrmors had been either verified or refuted.
In making the above explanation the MINER
is actuated only by a desire to do simple JUS
tice. We published the first reports as an item
of legitimate news, and in order to afford
an opportunity of commenting on and dis
couraglng implicit belief in the rumors then
current. We publish the foregoing report also
as an item of news, and to show the wisdom
of following the advice previously given.

A Novel

An odd and altogether delightful wedding
is described by the Portland (Oregon) Bee.
In the town of Port Townsend, Oregon, a
young MAJ won the love of a young woman,
encountering at the tame time the stern oppo-
position of the girls parents. The father and
big brothers of the girl went so far, indeed,
as to threaten personal injury to the lover
should he persist in his attentions. "A few
days. ago the lover appeared at the door of
the house in which his sweetheart was a
Gagged bird. In his right hand the desperate
youth carried a rife, cooked and primed. On
his left was a preacher. The old folks came
down like raccoons from tree. They pro-
duced the girl and the two were married in
the front yard. After the ceremony the nus
band shouldered his rifle and with the bride
on his arm walked tr%iumphantly of.
