During the past week Committee Of the
Citizens Association have made report OH
the smoke nuisance, which they have been
engaged in Investigating some months past.
This Committee consists Of Messrs. Crime,
Blatchfofd, and Hale,-all Of them practical,
competent men. AS result Of their inves-
LEGATIONS, they conclude that the smoke
nuisance, as far as it proceeds from Station
ary boilers and tugs, can be abated so az to
be inoffensive," and they recommend that a
city ordinance be passed requiring all per-
sons using engines and boilers to adopt and
apply such apparatus as they may deem best
suited to the purpose, and providing an ade-
quate penalty for the violation Of the ordi-
nance, and likewise for the employment Of
one or more inspectors to aid In Its execu-
ton. The Committee are OF the opinion that
the ordinance should also apply to locomo-
tiYes running into the city. and they In

DAVIS, the much-married man, will pay
dearly for his reckless violation Of the law Of
marriage, which is the strongest support Of the
social system. The verdict In his case is i'm
prisonment for five years md a fine Of $780,
the extreme penalty provided by the statute.
The jury, 1t is reported, agreed at once that
Dnvis was guilty, and they only required an
hours consultation to fix his punishment at tho
highest limit His defense WIS purely technical.
He was confronted with three women with whom
he had gone through the ceremony Of marriage,
and his whole matrimonial history revealed a
peculiar and imperttnent Indifference to the
moral as well as the statutory law Of marriage.
The conviction is in the Interests OF society and
Justice, and the outcome Of Davis bigamous
career may serve as a useful warning to men In
this part OF the country who are ambitious to
emulate the example of Brigham Young.

| District, will be for Grant, unless some
changes are made in the list on contests.
The surprising feature OF the canvass yes
| terday was the strength developed by
the Washburne movement It is clear
that, if the third-termers had not called
the snap primaries on three days no.
tice, Washburne would have swept
the county from end to end. As it was,
more Washburne delegates Qncluding the
third-termers sailing under false colors) were
elected than Grant delegates. This is the
more astonishing from the fact that the
Washburne men had no organization, no
money, and scarcely any time in which to
collect their forces.
The contest on the part of the third-teTIn~
ers was the most disgracefu1 ever known III
the history Of this county. Money was used
prodigally; repeating, ballot-box stufting,
and bulldozing were the order Of the day. No
decent advocate Of the third term could have
witnessed the proceedings of the partisans Of
that cause in the First Second, Eleventh,
Twelfth, and Fifteenth Wards without
shame and modification. It cannot be that
cause which needs to be promoted by such
means is worth sustaining.
The Second Ward, in which tissue ballots
were used and challenger turned out Of
the polling place, and the Eleventh and
Twelfth, which were carried BY swarms Of
Democratic repeaters under the leader
ship OF Demosthenes Hiidreth and his
brother-in-law, Con 1lahoney,-bott OF
fragrant memory,-will be, and ought
to be, contested. If they are thrown
out, the triumph Of the anti-third-termers
will be complete, and the Second Congress
sional District will be truly and fairly repre-
sented in Chicago. ANY action less than
this will be base surrender to the worst ele-
ments of the Republican and Democratic
parties-united to foist bad cause on an
unwilling people

THE Ways and Means Committee have
finally agreed to report a tariff bill In which
few meagre concessions are made to the news
paper and book publishers of the country. The
report favors q reduction Of 10 per cent on the
duty on wood-pulp and per cent on print
paper. 1t also recommends slight reduction
Of the duty on agricultural and mechanical in
strumeuts. All efforts to reduce the tariff on
salt failed. The monopolists Of New York and
Michigan had too many friends on the Commit
tee. The bill for the revision Of the sugar tariff
does not materially reduce the duty on that ,ar-
ticlc, and, in fact, some are OF the opinion that
it will rather increase than diminish the tariff
thereon. Thus has the Democratic Con-
gress failed to carry out the promises made for
it By Its Western supporters.

AMERICAN citizens residing in Peru have
published protest against the inhuman and
reckless mode Of warfare carried On by the
Chilians. They complain that their property
has been rtlthlesly destroyed and themselves
wnntonly insulted. The mode Of warfare pur-
sued by the Chilians is described as the maraud-
Ing of pirates and buccaneers. Their successes
have been followed by plundcr, contlngraton,
murder, and vile crimes against women and
children. The American residents protest
against this barbarous mode Of warfare, and
will demand through the United Suites Govern
ment indemnity for all the losses suffered, and
they are reported to be very considerable.

DE LEssErs CANAL PRoJEcT.-A correspon-
dent at Panama telegraphS as follows: Il am
informed that NJ. de LeSSepS has refused over
lures for fusion OF his canal scheme with the
canal through Nicaragua. He states that he
has no fears of any competition to be inaugu-
rated under Gen. Grant. IL is asserted that NJ.
Dircks will be ready to make his report on the
validity Of the surveys within the next twenty
days. Immediately on the sending In OF that
report it is expected that formation Of the
ChagreS Company-aS the new canal company,
believe, is to be called, in ORDER as Mde LeSSepS
says, to give 1t, like the canal OF Suez, an his
torical name-wtll be formally announced. NJ
de LessepS has reason to expect support from
England after the formation of the company
and he much deprecates the overcautious abs
tention, as he regards 1t, OF the United States
from the support OF his enterprise. especially as
he considers that the rights OF the United States
and Of American citizens are fully protected by
the treaty of 1876 with the government OF New
Granada, now the United States of Columbia"
A N. Y. Herald dispatch from Panama, JAN
uary 2, says: 1.-THE technical committee held
their first sitting at II O'Clock. OF American
engineers Col. Totten and Mr.. Wright were
present. The directors of the Panama railroad
also came to confer with NJ. de LesSepS. The
final survey has been entrusted to five Of the
brigade of engineers, who will complete their
work during the present month, at the end of
which the excavations will formally commence
at the summit of the ISthmuS."

GEN: GRANT AND PARTY arrived at Fernan-
dina, Fla, yesterday morning from savannah,
after delightful trip. The day was beautiful
and the streets were crowded with people to
welcome the guests. AS the steamer landed
the band struck up Hail to the Chief" Gen.
Grant and party were welcomed by ex-senator
Yulee on behalf of the mayor and citizens, and
We're at once driven to Egmont hotel, where
special arrangements had been made for the
distinguished guests. It being Sunday no
demonstrations were made. In the afternoon
ride was taken to the celebrated Amelia Beach,
near Fernandina. The general rode in company
with Col. Shipman, former army officer and
friend OF his. The General expressed himself
greatly pleased with his visit to the city, and
remarked that it was the first time he had ever
stepped upon Florida SOIL although he had been
in every other state In the Union. His recep-
ton, he said, through the south had been very
pleasing to him, and had been participated in by
all classes. Last night the hotel and the park
were Illuminated, and band Serenaded the eX-
President. The party has been joined by Judge
Settle and numerous prominent citizens Of the
state. To-day public reception will be held in
the City Hall, and in the evening grand ball
