\ wonderful deliyerance has come to Hilo, in
the Sandwich Islands, the scene Of the labors Of
venerable Titus COan. For about eight months
a vast stream of lava has been pouring forth from
Kilauea, and Varying in width from one half
mile to four miles, it has slowly moved on for
fifty miles, down towards Hilo and its beautiful
bay. IL seemed for a time almost inevitable that
the bay would be filled and that Hilo would be-
come another Hcrculaneum. But when within
eight hundred yards of the town the stream ceased
to flow, and the cooling lava became as rock. To
the inexpressible relief OF the anxious but prayer
ful people Hilo was sayed.-MissiORdry Herald

IL is very s~killiully done, and not one person out
Of a hundred would detect it without the closest
examination, and even then the chances are that
the detection would be purely accidental. 1t is ex-
ecuted IN all the various cOlored inks used on
bank notes, and even the paper itself is made to
look like bank note paper by little strokes Of the
pen. This bill Is really a wonderful curiosity.
Ii was paid to the bank by a Government official
through whose hands il passed without detection.
Il was received at the bank, but it's true charac-
ter was soon afterwards discovered. The execu-
ton Of the bill probably required two days hard
work. which would give the fOrger SO q day for
his labor. lie has probably set ahoat many oil
these bills, as we'll as bills Of larger denomIna-
ton, and it is likely that the twenty dollar bill
above mentioned has passed through hundreds OF
hands without detection.

was TO be rowed between Hanlan and Ross, at

GOVERNOR MURRAY.

II Governor Murray of Utah has usurped
the prerogative of Congress and over
stepped the limits of his own authority, in
refusing certificate to Cannon and giving
it to Campbell, there ought not to be any
doubt among intelligent men that the end
has not justified the means. 1t would
be better that Cannon, with all his draw
backs, should represent Utah perpetually
in Congress than that the principles of
republican government should be violated,
and manifest wrong done, in order to
turn him out. The law which prescribes
the duty of Territorial Governors in re-
gard to Congressional elections certainly
does not justify the action OF Governor
Murray. 1t directs him to issue his GER
tifcate to the candidate who has received
the largest number of votes. 1t does not
authorize him to inquire into the eligibility
of that candidate. 1t appears to be no
part of his duty to make such an inquiry,
and il this is correct view of the case it
follows that he has undertaken to GUST
Cannon by deliberately trampling upon the
laws of the country. That is good way
to secure sympathy for the Mormon candi-
date. It certainly is not good way to
uphold the dignity OF constitutional and
republican government.

THE UNITED STATES sENAToRsH1p.

The Senate and Assembly balloted sepa-
rately yesterday for United States Senator,
and in each house General Miller received
a satisfactory majority, and in both cases
more than strict party vote. To-day
the two houses will meet in joint conven-
ton to perfect their work, though of
course this is mere form. Some of the
speeches made in nominating General Mil
Ter were more than usually forcible and
eloquent, in especial those of Senators
Nye and Sears. General Miller has al
ready received the congratulations of his
friends and his party upon the high honor
conferred upon him, and hereafter he will
have to rely upon his own powers for the
maintenance of his deservedly high repu-
tation. 1t is perhaps to some extent IN
fortunate for such man that be is obliged
to exert himself much more than would
be necessary to persons of mediocre abit-
ties, because the general expectation of his
performances is so much higher, but the
compensation for this obligation consists
in the fact that the possessors of great
abilities are able to respond to the demand
made upon them. We have said that we
shall expect very much from our Senator
elect, but we have no apprehension that
he will fail to meet our expectations.

A SUSPICIOUS BILL.

Assembly Bill No. %, introduced by Mr..
Medallion, is entitled can Act to amend
60 Section 1907 of the Political Code, ap.
- proved April l6, 1850, relating to cleo
d" TONS. Section 1897 of the Political
Code contains provisions relating to the
registration of voters. It declares what
qualifications applicants for registration
must have. It states what proofs natur-
allied citizen must produce Of his natural
ization. It provides that in case he claims
to have lost his papers he must make aft
davit to that effect which affidavit must
state the place of his nativity and the
time and place and Cont of his
e" naturalization, etc. Now the bin in
troduced by Mr. Medallion is a
literal copy of the existing law, with
one exception. He has omitted the
two words d" and Court" which we have
italicized in the citation from the existing
law. This change would obviously make il
easy for unnaturalized aliens to swear
themselves on 10 the register, since ii
removes a principal means of tracing per
jury and furnishing it. Any man might
swear generally to the time and place
of his naturalization if be was not com
PEELED to name the Court that naturalizet
him. We can see in the proposed change
therefore, no possible object but the facili
tation of fraudulent voting, and as tina
is against public policy we trust that tht
Judiciary Committee will report that thi
bill &" do not pass

CHINA PREPARING FOR WAR.


The latest advices from China indicate
that the Picking Government is actively
preparing for war with Russia, notwith-
standing all the talk of peaceful adjust
ment of the matters in dispute between
the two powers. The China journals indi.
cate that the Peking Government is feeling
very uneasy about the prospect, and no
doubt war with Russia would be serious
matter for even stronger power than
China. II however the latter can make
arrangements to encounter the Russian
naval forces in the Pacific, she will proba-
bly, have little to apprehend in the way of
land attacks. Russia has her hands full
already with the Turcomans, who have in
fiicted several very severe defeats upon her
forces, and who appear to be quite able to
hold their own. If Russia cannot sub
due the Turcomsns, however, it is hardly
worth her while to think of invading
China. and therefore in the event of war
she will probably confne her efforts to this
side of the world.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.

1t is well that Congress is at last moving
in the matter of the Congressional Library,
for the condition of tho latter has long
been most discreditable to the Govern
ment. For ten or fifteen years all the
available book space has been more than
filed, and the consequence is that the
accumulations of that whole period have
been stored here and there, packed often
from the floor to the ceiling in great i'm
practicable piles, and that the usefulness
of the Library has been largely destroyed.
The Librarian has kept up constant APP
peal to Congress for more room, but though
il is impossible to enter the apartments de-
voted to the Library without perceiving
the absolute necessity for this, ses-
sion after session has been allowed
to pass, and nothing has been
done. 1t is now proposed to erect a
proper library building on the public
property known as Judiciary Square, and
an appropriation of $l,5OO,000 is to be
asked for this purpose. OF course it must
be understood that such library as that
which has accumulated at Washington not
only requires ample space for its arrange
ment, but demands such building as can
be added to from time to time, as the ex-
listing space at disposal is outgrown. It
must be expected that this library will
continue to grow continually, and therefore
it must have plenty OF room. So great is
the confusion which has resulted from the
want of accommodation, however, that
even when the new building is finished it
will probably take two or three years to
get the books in order, and to make them
available for reference.

test was the allegation that he was not a

respondent in the report of the Election Com
mittee upon that case, from which it appears
| that he was duly naturaGzed December Z,
| 1854, he having lived in the United States
| three years and having come to this country
when he was under Is years of age. The
Election Committee at the time mentioned
was composed of seven Democrats and four
Republicans, and Cannon says they were
unanimously of the opinion that he was
entitled to the seat, which he was allowed to
retain. One of the members of that COM
mittee was Townsend of New York, and
another was Representative Baker of Indiana.
