A Bayonct government for Utah.

New York, Dec. 10.-The Times,
referring to the presidents recommen-
dations concerning Utah, thinks that
neither a provisional government nor
the disfranchisement of polygamists a
practicable remedy, but says: 1t is n
question whether 1t would not be better
TO establish a military government at
once and administer the affairs Of the
territory directly by national authority
until polygomy has been rooted out,
and the material for q state, founded on
the principles of republican institutions,
been introduced. No halfway mea-
sures are likely to succeed, and no pot
tering with the subject is desirable.
Utah is still in tho hands of the federal
government, and it should take the
most effective means Of preparing 1t for
its destined place in the union Of states

They are Vow Happy.

Green Castle, Indiana, Dec. lo.-A
convention of colored emigrants from
North Carolina, assembled to-day,
Willis Bun, president. Many speeches
were mado which expressed the senti-
ment that they had never really enjoyed
the blessings Of freedom until they
came here. They were very enthusias-
tic in their treatmeat here and urged a
general movement towards the free
north. Resolutions embodying these
IDEAS were adopted, and addresses is
sued setting forth the terrors, disable
tiles and restrictions on manhood
in their life in tho south, and the ad-
vantages of the north. The address is
stirring document and incapable oil
condensation. They distinctly state
however, that Indiana is no lazy mans
paradise, but that everybody must work
for living.

Her majesty's government have care

United States, respecting the disturb.
ance which occurred at Fortune bay the
9th of Jan. 1878, and they have ap-

earnest desire Mt an amicable solution
Of the differences which have unfortun-
ately arisen between the two govern

visions Of the treaties which regulate
rights, VS.. the fishermen on the coast
Of Newfoundland. In the first place, l
desire that there should be no possibili-
ty of misconstruction rs to the views
entertained by her majesty's govern
ment respecting the conduct Of the
New Foundland fishermen in violently
interfering with United States fisher
men, and destroying or damaging some
Of their nets. Her majesty's govern
ment have no hesitation in admitting
that this proceeding was quite indefens-

In reply, Mayor Cooper said he was
glad to SEQ his course of action approved
Of; that tho only vacancies really to be
filled were those Of comptroller and cor.
poration counsel, and the appointment
Of officers in the other departments was
due TO the fact that such vacancies ex.
isted for over year. He did not think
that in the distribution Of Offices among
the PARTIES he had acted other than as
the mayor Of the city should. Ths
Offices Of comptroller and corporation
counsel, which had been democratic fol
number Of years, were still democrat
ic. He thanked them for their approx

for New York city.

New York, Dec. l0.-Despite the
cold weather-thermomet y above
there was an interested crowd Of poll
ticians about the city hall 10 attend the
aldermanic meeting. 1t was believed
that the anti-Tammany members OF the
board had agreed with the republicans
TO confirm Mayor Cooper's nominations.
There Was long debate on the propos-
ition by a republican alderman 10 con-
firm the appointment Of Allen Camp
bell as comptroller in place OF John
Kelly. Tammany desired to refer the
nomination TO a committee, but were
beaten, IL 10 o. Discussion continued
rs TO the confirmation, but when the
vote was taken It resulted for confir-
nation Is against s, and Allen Camp
bell succeeds John Kelly rs comptroller.
Combinations rapidly followed OF all
the appointments by the mayor, some
Of which were republicans and the rest
anti-Tammany democrats.
New York, Dec 10.-Comptroller Ke.-
ly was waited upon this afternoon, by
many persons who expressed their re-
gret that he would no longer be comet
ei with the finance department. lie was
engaged until late arranging his affairs
preparatory TO departure, but Mr..
Campbell, the new appointee. sent him
word that he would not be prepared to
take charge Of the Office until to-mor-
row. Kelly said that his only regret
in retiring from the Department was in
severing his connection with the faith
full employees to whom he had become
deenly attached.

point, l feel bound 10 state that in the
opinion Of her majesty's government
the clause in the treaty at Washington
which provides that citizens Of the
United states shall be entitled in CON-
mon with British subjects, TO fish in
New Foundland water within the limits
Of the British sovereignty, means that
American and British fishermen shall
meet in these waters on terms Of equal
ity, and not that there shall be an ex-
eeption 10 American fishermen from any
reasonable regulations TO which British
fishermen are subject. Her majesty's
government entirely concurs in Mr..
Marcy's circular Of the 2Sth, Of March,
1856, the principle therein laid down
appears to them TO be perfectly sound
and as applicable TO fishery provisions
Of the treaty at Washinton as TO those
of the treaty Mr.. Marcy had in view.
They cannot, therefore admit the ac-
curacy Of the opinion expressed In Mr..
Eyarts letter to Mr.. Welsh Of the 18th
Of September, 1878, that the fishery
rights Of the United States as conceded
by the treaty at Washington, are to be
exercised wholly free from restraints
and regulations Of the statute Of New
Foundland, If, by that opinion, any
thing inconsistent with Mr.. Marcy's
principle is especially intended. IIertmaj-
esty's government, however, freely ad-
NIT that IL any such local statues could
be shown, to be inconsistent with the
express stipulations or even with the
spirit OF the treaty, they would not,
within the category of these reasonable
regulations by which the American
in common with the British fishermen,
he bound.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Secretary Thompson left the city for
New York last evening. II is said by
intimate friends Of the secretary that
his visit is for the purpose Of consulting
with gentlemen there who are interest
ed in the Panama canal company, rela-
tive 10 his acceptance Of the presidency
of the American branch. From inter-
views had with persons who are cogni-
zant Of the secretary's movements, it is
believed that he has already accepted.
or will, in the course of a few days, ac-
cept the position mentioned and tender
his resignation as secretary Of the navy.
The president had long tall, with
Gen. Howard, in the course Of which be-
admitted that he had called him to
Washington TO make him commander
at West Point, but had been dissuaded
from doing 1t by Gen. Sherman and
Secretary Evarts-not on account Of
personal opposition to him, but because
they held that the change would be too
violent, in view Of Howard S well known
variance in what he regards as correct
policy, as contrasted with Schofield's
administration.
The president promised Howard,
however, that he should have some
good place in the east as soon as he
could settle up his affairs in Oregon and
take 1t. He told him also that 1t is un-
derstood that he should make Gen.
Terry commandant at West Point.
1t is believed by many persons to-day
that the unanimous determination OF
the republican minority of the house to
resist to the full extent of their parlia-
mentary privileges the adoption Of the
electoral count resolution, will lead to
SO much loss Of time in fillibustering
proceedings as to necessitate an extra
session Of congress. There are now 25
or 80 democratic members absent
nearly all Of them must be in their seats
to make n quorum, when the republi-
cans abstain from voting, and even then
the minority may very possibly, by skill
full parliamentary management, delay 4
final vote for a number of days, IL moi
indefinitely. Hence, il the democrat:
stand solidly together on this issue, the
contest will certainly be so protracted
and long fought as to crowd beyond the
limits Of the session a large amount oI
necessary business.
1t is not probable, however, that an,
such united stand will be made in sup
port Of the proposition, for In the frs
place, even II the democrats obtain ;
quorum of their own, there are severa
of their number who do not believe il
the fundamental doctrine Of the pro
posed regulation; and in the secon,
place, there are many others who do no
think it worth while to neglect pressing
public business in an effort 10 establish
a joint rule which, all admit, will hav'
no effect on the practical result of thu
late presidential election, and which, i
is equally evident, If adopted by thi
congress would be promptly annullct
by the next house Of representatives
as soon rs the republicans came int
power. 1t is highly probable, therefore
that the democrats will either at ono
or very soon abandon further attempt
to pass the resolution, and, letting |
drift aside, go on with the funding bill

vote by which the house yesterday re-
referred 10 the committee on claims n
letter from the acting secretary of the
treasury, transmitting a list Of claims

tion was agreed to and the bill referred
To the committee on war claims.
Shelley from the committee ON post
offices and post roads, reported TO the
house to-day his bill providing for the
establishment OF mail steamers between
the ports of the United States and South
America, Central America, Mexican
and trans-Pacilic ports.
The bill, with an accompanying IA

An Over Onicious Secretary OF state
Gives California to.IIaneoek and
Engifsh.

New York, Dec. 10.-The Times
says: Strict constructionists Of demo-
cratic faith will be appalled, to learn
that the republican secretary Of state in
California, on discovering that the re-
turns for the presidential electors from
three counties were fatally defective,
telegraphed to the local officers and ad-
vised them to send amended returns.
Clearly this was not his official duty,
and he should have proceeded with the
canvass which he is required by law to
make, and have left the fatal defects to
be discovered by others, but this Of
ficial's action, irregular though 1t was,
saved the votes of three counties, aud
changed the result in the state. The
democratic constructionists, like Gar
celon, for example, will denounce the
course of the California secretary of
state as extra constitutional" 1t
may assuage their wrath, however, to
learn that the three counties whose
votes So narrowly escaped being nulli-
fed are democratic, and that in con-
sequence of their returns being attend
ed, Hancock secured five electoral
votes.

London, Dec. 10, $3.50 p. m.-An sx-
plosion occurred at the Penygrieg coll
iery at l:40 this morning. The shock
was so violent that 1t was felt for miles
around, and the damage was so great
that the explorers were not able 10 de-
scend into the mine for some hours.
One shaft is choked. There is not the
slightest hope OF saving any OF the 50
men and Is horses still in the pit. Four
men have been brought up alive.
London, p. NIT is now ascer-
tained that Sc of the persons who were
in the pit at the time of the explosion,

brought up thus far, but many others
have been discovered, aud will be

A dispatch from the scene says of the
disastrous colliery explosion: One hun
dred men were in the colliery at the
time. The shock OF the explosion was
felt for miles around. There are also
is horses In the pit, which was 450 yards
in depth. The most intense excitement
prevails throughout the district. All
the roads and approaches to the colliery
are thronged with waiting men, women
and children, and the cries Of the poor
people whose relatives are imprisoned
are heartrending. Many volunteers
offered to join the exploring party, but
up to 0 O'Clock no attempt was made to
descend the shaft.
The colliery is owned by Messrs.
ltowlands & Morgan, of Penygrieg. 1t Is
within half mile Of the Dinas colliery,
