a committee of the whole to consider the

cases. This Legislature ought not to take a
single step until evenhanded justice is done.
The House refused to 60 into a committee of
the whole, five voting in the affirmative, and
the matter was referred to the committee on
elections when such committee is appointed.
The Pennington and other cases were also
referred.
Dickey remarked that the Supreme Court
had nothing to do with the action of the
Legislature winch brought a plea from Hale
defending the court and asking that the con-
stitttional barriers be not swept away. He
said the election of officers under the laws
passed by this body as now constituted would
not be legal. At 3 O'Clock the House ad-
jOurned.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. S,-Both branches as
sembled quietly at 10 O'Clock. There was no
comparison between the crowd and that of
Yesterday. Sentinels aIe stationed at the doors
and the police force continues under the con-
troll of the Sheriff and Mayor. Upon the
opening of the House the Speaker Invoked
good order and intlmated that tlle scenes ELI
acted yesterday by outsiders should not be re-
pealed. lie had scarcely finished speaking
when the doors were opened, the Windows
thrown up and an impatient crowd rushed in.
After the people entered quiet was again re-
Stored, but at one time trouble seemed
imminent. The records of yesterday were
read, and showed the fact that not more than
seventy-tive votes were thrown for any candi-
date voted for. Hale announced the presence

PUEBLO. Colo, San. 7.-TWelye Ute In
dians, in charge Of Lieut.. Taylor, of the 9th
Cavalry, with ten men, arrived here to-day
and went east Immediately. an the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road. They had ordered
dinner at the union depot hotel, but seeing so
large a GROVE Of pa!e-taces, it destroyed their
appetiteS. 1t is said that they went aboard
tie train at once and left without eating. Be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people were at the
depot to see the savages. ''Hang the red
devils. "Shoot the numbering tiends!" and
like expressions were frequently heard from
a portion Of the crowd, and they were pelted
with stone-coal by some of the boys, who had
taken position OH a coal train on a side track.
The Indians were terrOr-stricken and com
pletely cowed. a move was atloat in the
morning to organize 500 men and lynch the
savages, but cooler counsels prevailed and the
citizens determined to let the Indians pass on
without injury. Had there been any %injudici-
GUS action taken by the troops or Indians, no
power could have retained the mob from
lynching them. Had Douglas or any of the
Indians engaged in the numbering and out
raging of the Meeker family been aboard, no
power could have saved them. A Chiettdin
reporter Interviewed Lieut.. Taylor, who ex-
pressed himself as determined to protect the
Indians at all hazards, should the mob
attempt to seize them. The troops will escort
the Indians to a lake, in East-line, Colorado.
If the people in other parts of the State feel
as hostile as the Puob!oites, the Utes mus 90
in the spring. Tho people here unanimously
endorse Belford's Indian, policy.
CAICAGo, Jan. s. The Intcr-Ocedn's WASH
ington special SAYS: Mr.. Frazier, Of Phila-
delphia. an active worker iur Secretary SlIer-
man, was here to-day. He states that tie
feeling in favor of Sherman is growing rapidly
in Pennsylvania, and the feeling for Grant,
which was almost unanimous at one time,
has subsided 4 great deal and when the State
convention meets, the delegates to the nation
al convention will not be instructed for Grant.
The Republicans in the largely German cOun-
ties report that it would not be safe to nOmi-
nate Grant, as the Germans would not vote
for him and lie Goubts if Grant could carry
the State. The people are. as a mass, for
Blaine first, sherman second and Grant third.
Frazier thinks the Pennsylvania delegation
will vote as a matter Of compliment for Cam
erNn. as in the last convention they voted tl
Hartanft. He thinks the Grant enthusiasm
will die oNt by tie time the Chicago conven-
ton meets, and that The Pennsylvania delega,
zion will then, after casting one vote for Cam,
eron. cast a solid vote for Sherman.
