New YORK, Jan. 10.-Capt. W. Parker
Snow, Of the British mercantile marine,
who was one Of the early searchers for the
lost crew of the Erebus and Terror, has
written to Lieut.. Schwatka, asking his CO.
operation in another expedition, in which
he says: my idea is, and always has been,
to try a small schooner and get away early
next spring, but I fear there is only a faint
hope Of my countrymen inclining an ear
to Arctic projects by private hands"
The Herald Proposes to Destroy
Tammany HaIi-DeIegate Cannon
Indignant.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.--The Times, COM
| menting on John Kelly's visit to the West,
doubts if Tammany has an existence now.
The Herald says: There never was a bet
ter time for destroying Tammany Hall
than is presented now. The Tammany
Society received a charter for charitable
purposes, which it has never carried out.
Now, let some member of the Legislature
offer q resolution, %instructing the Attorney
General to proceed against the Society in
the way prescribed for a violation of its
charter. Tammany Hall is the root of all
the political corruption and despotism that
have disgraced the Democracy of this city.
No pure elections can be held so long as it
is allowed to exist. Let this be destroyed
now and forever.
A Times Washington special says: Can
non, Delegate to Congress from Utah, is
very indignant over the report from Salt
Lake City, that the Governor had refused
to issue q certificate of election to him
upon the ground of imperfect proof Of his
being a naturalized citizen. This action
Of the Governor is denounced here to-day
by men Of both parties as a great outrage.
High legal authority, in speaking OF it to-
day, says the Governor had only one duty
to perform in the case, and that was to
award a certificate of election to the man
indicated by the universal returns as hav-
ing the largest number of votes. 1t was
nome OF his business to decide whether q
man receiving a majority of votes was a
murderer, ~foreign-born citizen, or in any
way consider his personal qualifications or
their lack. Congress alone is the judge Of
the qualifications of its members. Fol- q
Governor to usurp the powers of Congress
is to display great Ignorance, or else a dis
position to prosecute a Mormon represen-
tative under cover of the recent demand
that polygamists of Utah should no longer
be tolerated. Members in talking about
this subject to-day say that Cannon will
not lave a ghost Of a show In the next
Congress. The certificate of election has
already been issued to Campbell, who re-
ceived but a very small portion Of the num-
Der of votes cast. Cannon is put in the
position of a candidate contestant, and
with an unfriendly Committee he can be
kept dancing in the lobbies Of Congress
without any decision until the 4th OF March.
