of about two weeks, before the conclu-

so much disheartened that they were on
the point of giving up negotiations, and

The Utah Unpleasantness-
SALT LAKE, Jan. S.-Campbell, the /
Gentle, gets the seat of Cannon, MOI |
mon, by to-day's decision of the governor |
of Utah.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 9.-Cannon's |
friends this evening applied to Secretary |
Thomas for q certified statement of the |
counts, and Cannon will contest. The |
Mormons are very indignant.
The Evening News says that Governor |
Murray can NO longer command the res |
pect of honorable men; that his conduct |
| is dastardly and contemplate, and IN |
worthy of any official with tine least |
claim to the title of a gentleman. The
| Gentiles feel as though they had at last
got the Mormon bull by the horns in
stead of the tail, and the expect the adj
ministratiOn of the next house and coun-
| try TO held them keep their hold.
The Tribune of tomorrow morning
| will say: -'Goy. Murray has refused his
| certificate of election to Geo. Q. Cannon
and given it to A. G. Campbell. He has
not questioned the legality of the votes
cast for Cannon, or the fairness of the
election. He has simply taken cogniz-
ance of the two facts which the contest
brought out, and which are: 1. That
Geo. Q. Cannon, being foreigner born
and never naturalized, is not citi-
zen; and 2, that it is not possible for
Cannon TO cure his disabilities and
become a citizen before the 4th day of
March next This being trrie, the votes
cast for him were thrown away, and A.
G. Campbell being the citizen who re
ceived the highest number of votes, the
governor gives him the certificate. In
time of great peril it is said that Gen.
Washington issued that order: Put
none but Americans on guard tonight
The order came to Gov. Murray from q
higher power than even Washington
was, Issue certificates TO none but
Americans in Utah. and he could not
disobey."
