Nasuralizing Heather

CHICAGO, February ia movement is
on foot to naturalize the Cinnamon now in
Chicago, and two of the Celest ials put in an
appearance at the county court this afternoon
for that purpose. About half dozen have
signified their intention to become citizens,
and it is probable that many more will follow
their example.
Three Celestials desirious of becoming
American citizens yesterday applied to John
Stephens, Clerk of the District Court, for
naturalization papers. Wong Ching Foo, a
naturalized Chinaman, acted as interpreter
and explained the case fully. Moy Hong
kee, one of the trio, had only been in the
country few months and made application
for and received his first papers. He placed
signature, and said man we'll versed in the
Chinese language would call it Moy Hong
Kee, Moy Gee and Moy Sam. The other
two have been in the country ten years, hav-
ing come here when but sixteen years old.
and If ever entitled to full naturalization pa
pers they should be now. But Judge Moran
after examination of the applicants took the
matter under advisement. A judge of the
circuit court of San Francisco and Judge in
New York have both decided Cinnamon can
not become full citizens of the United States.
The question has never come before the Su.
preme Court, and IL is one of the unsettled
points In the great Chinese question. Judge
Morrow did not care to express an opinion
upon what other judges had disagreed upon
without careful consideration of the whole
subject. He was not sure, however, but that
the provisions of the new Chinese treaty
would prevent Mongolan citizenship.

Cannon and Campbell.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia Washington special
to the Inter Ocean says: An amusing fea-
ture of the Cannon-Campbell contest has
just come to light. Gov. Murray gave a GER
tlfcate of election to Campbell. When
Cannon heard this, he took steps to serve a
notice of contest on Campbell, having thirty
days under the law to perform this ceremony
Campbell left Salt Lake, ostensibly for
Washington, but never went there. This
put Cannon off the track. He was daily
looking for Campbell so as to serve notice
Of contest on him; but Campbell came not.
Cannon telegraphed to New York, Chicago,
Omaha and Salt Lake, but could not get the
run Of Campbells rapid movements. He
accidentally heard of him at Crcleville,
Kansas, and telegraphed there but the bird
had flown. Becoming thoroughly frightened
for fear the thirty days would expire, Can
non sent four notices Of contest to. Salt
Lake, each TO a particular friend, with in
structions to hunt up Campbell regardless
of expense" One man took rain for the
east, and accidentally met Campbell al
Green River station OH the very last day of
the thirty. Campbell was about to sit down
to breakfast, in fancied security, but the man
with four wives and seal in Congress was
too much for him.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-It seems &c
be universally believed in Washington thai
the Treasury Secretaryship in Garfield's Tab
met was secured for the State Of New Yorl
by Conkling's recent trip to Mentor, but al
impression is gaining ground to-day that
Judge Folger, and not Levi p. Morton, Is the
man agreed upon for the place and that the
latter has accepted IL. The reason for pass
ing over Morton, according to this latest ant
apparently we!l.iounded rumor, is that Gar.
field doubts whether he could divest himself
to the satisfaction of the Senate and the
country at large Of his commercial aud linan.
cial interests, just as Alex I. Stewart was
found to be ineligible for it when nominated
for it by Grant.
Leading members of the dominant party
in the House of Representatives say the
Senate amendments to the funding bill will
undoubtedly be agreed to,though for the pur.
pose of alliliatng parliamentary action the
bill may be first sent to conference com.
mittee. There is almost the authority fol
| stating that the President will promptly sign
the bill, despite tbs threats Of many national
banks to withdraw their circulation, as the
extent to which the volume of currency
could be thus contracted is believed TO he
greatly exaggerated, in view of the fact
that the Treasury Department stands ready
to relieve the money MAJ ket Immediately in
case of need, in the first place with its sur
plus of upwards Of Sl2,000,000 for sinking
fund purposes, and in the next place by pay
ing out the $4,000 Of coin which the bill au-
thorizes the Secretary to use for refunding
purposes. Besides these powers it is note
worthy that under theterms of
the bill as it passed the Senate portion of
the S400,000,000 in certificates may be imme-
diately issued at some rate of interest below
3 per cent. in such manner as to make them
subserVe for a considerable period the pur-
pose of circulating notes. On the whole the
appehensions which prevailed yesterday of a
financial panic to result from the enactment
of this bill has to-day in Government circles
largely subsidized.

The Probable Annnrfinnmen

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Inter Oceans
Washington special says: The apportionment
bill will probably pass with the number OF
Representatives fixed at 307. The House is
strongly disposed to this number, and the
committee will not, 1t is believed, oppose
the House when the bill comes up again for
discussion. At 307 California, Iowa and
Michigan will gain one Representative each.
Kansas gains three and Minnesota and Ne
braska two each, making gain of ten in the
northern States; Arkansas, Mississippi.
North Carolina. South Carolina, and West
Virginia gain one each, and Texas four.
making gain Of nine in the southern States.
and Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
New York lose one each.
1t is curious that the number 307 is more
favorable 10 New York than any number i'll
tefmediate between that and the present.
AT 294 and up to 30S New York would gain
three Representatives, and from 308 to 3Ot
the State would lose two.

fifteen years. In January, 1882, and annu-
ally thereafter the commissioners are to levy

EXEMPTION FROM JURY DUTY.
House Bill No. 4S, approved February 10,
amends section ISL, fifth division, Revised
Statutes, so as to exempt the foreman, clerk,
one engineer and 25 fremen of any organized
fire company in the Territory which operates
fire engine, from jury duty. The twenty
five men are to be selected from the roll of
the company according to seniority. The
secretary of each company must report to the
county clerk on the first Mondays of Deem
Der, March, June and September list of the
exempts; afailure to do this will constitute a
waiver of exemption. The bill also exempts
priests, ministers, lawyers, doctors and all
county, township and Territorial officers.
The editoria. fraternity will feel their obli-
cations to the supporters of this measure
when informed that under it they are no
longer exempt from jury duty.
TERMS OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
House Bill No. 80, approved February 10,
amends sections 343 and 344 of The general
laws so that each commissioner shall hold
Office four years and until their successors
are elected and qualified. One is to be
elected 1882, and at the general election ev-
cry fourth year thereafter two shall be elect
ed. At the general election i'm 1884 and ev-
cry fourth year thereafter one shall be elect
ed. Commissioners now in office shall hold
until the close of the terms for which they
have been elected or appointed. Three con-
stitute board; two may perform the duties
of the board.
SESSIONS OF COMMISSIONERS.
House Bill No. so, approved February 10,
1881, reads entire: section /. That section
345 of the fifth division Of the Revised Stat
utes be, and the same if hereby, repealed"
FOR THE PROTECTION OF FISH.
Council Bill 80, approved February 81,
makes it misdemeanor for any person own
ing or operating a sawmill on any stream
containing fish to permit the sawdust, bark
or debris to mingle with the stream to the
injury or detriment of the fish therein. The
law is binding and every ofIense is punishable
by fine limited to $50.
House Bill No. % reduced the percentage
of license tax to be paid into the Territorial
treasury to rs per cent. instead of 40 per
cent. In view of the Territorial tay levy
having been reduced two-thirds and large
additional expenses being ordered by law,
the Governor vetoed this bill. The House
passed it over him, anticipating he would
also veto the tax reduction, but the Council
sustained the veto, and the percentage of
license tax remains unchanged.

Garfield Win Not provor. conkI,,o

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Tribtne's New
York correspondent has talked with Stal.
wart Republican respecting Conkiing's visit
to Mentor, and he said incidentally: al re-
gard all speculation upon what the President
elect will do as nonsense. He will not, in
my opinion, do anything to provoke Senator
Conkling, depend on upon that. The Re-
publicans Of New York are so powerful that
no President can afford to antagonize them.
President Hayes sought - fight Conkling.
Mark the result. Arthur and Cornell were
removed from the Custom House. The first
Is now Vice-President elect, while the other
Is Governor of New York. Thos. G.. Plat
was refused place in Hayes cabinet. He
Is now U. s. Senator from this State. Conk-
ling administered all these rebukes, and
now goes to Mentor with all Mr.. Hayes
nominations In his pocket.

Abuse OF the Franking Privilege.

WASHINGTON, February l6.-The House
special committee on the abuses of the
Thanking privilege have discovered the abus-
es Of sufficient gravity to suggest important
changes in the law. Among the abusef is
mentioned the following: In the recent po-
litical campaign, committees of parties sent
out vast numbers Of political documents and
franks. The documents sent out from Wash
ington last summer have been estimated at
50,OO0,0O0. Two hundred clerks were en-
ployed for weeks in writing the names of
Congressman on blank envelopes to be used
for the purpose mentioned. Many of the
Congressman authorized the use of their
names, but some did not. One clerk swore
that he wrote the name of +. NJ. Cobb on
~, 0OO0 envelopes.

The Bill Denounced

New YORK, February 19.-TEe Tribune
says the funding bill and its passage by the
Senate formed the principal subject of dis
cusslon in Wall street to-day. Among bank
ers there was wonderful unaumity of
opinion about the measure, and some of
them do not hesitate to denounce il as all
outrage OH National banks and a violation
of public faith. They declared that it made
forced loan from the banks, and that then
with that support the bonds would be diff
cult to sell. 1t was predicted that the banks
would withdraw their circulation to large
amount Immediately.

MAY Ask Sherman.

New YORK, February 19.-The Heraids
Washington special says the belief Is gaining
ground here that General Garfield will pres

to appoint men from different States may
lead him to solve the difficulty by requesting
Mr.. Sherm an TO remain.
