of Utah.
SALT LAKE, January s. 4. G.. Campbell
filed paper after election with Gov. Murray
protesting that he. and not Cannon. was duly
elected a delegate to Congress, on the ground
that Cannon was polygamist and had not
been naturaliZed as a citizen. Consequently,
he Cannon was not entitled to certificate
of election. Cannon claimed that being
polygamist did not make any bar to his cleo
ton, and also exhibited paper as his certifi-
Yesterday before Gov. Murray. The clerk Of
court in which Cannon said he had been nat
uralized testified that no record exists of
CannOn's naturalization. Cannon's counsel
then claimed it did not lay with the govern
or but with the House of Representatives.
Gov. Murray dissented. Asan act of Congress
organizing Utah. says the governor shall de-
clare who is elected. and no person, not
citizen, is capable of voting or holding any
office, this made Cannon an alien and illegible
to mold Office of delegate also he is polyga-
mist, and in violation of the laws of 1862
making polygamy a felony. Consequently,
votes cast for Cannon are lost. and Allen G.
Campbell, possessing all necessary qualifica-
tons, was declared duly elected delegate to
Congress. The governor accordingly gave
him certificate.

CrScIxSA1I, January 8. From $4,000
to SIS 600 worth Of coal was lost by breaking
of ice in the Ohio river, and owners
hone to recover one-third to one-half. The
emptv barges were torn loose and carried
with the ice to-day. Men have gone down
river for that purpose. The break extends
about 40 miles down river, and advances
about two miles per hour. At midnight best
informed Judges put the loss in this harbor
by the breaking of ice in the Ohio river, at
slOO. 600; divided between 90 losers. This
does not include steamer Gen. Little, which
sank in seven feet of water. and has been in
Is feet of water this evening by rise Of river
The loss is total This makes the entire loss
not less than $40, 900. Her owners hoped 10
save her with not above 800 damage. Coal
boats and barges which did not break loose
are damaged greatly at their moorings.
Owners are reluctant to confess the full ex-
extent of their loss. Some estimates 60 as
high as $780, 600: but 500. 900 is that of the
best informed and best qualified to judge. II

Irish Revelation.

LONDON, January 8. While going to
Parliament last night. Forster was groaned
at in the streets and Gladstone was chcered.
Friday night an exciting scene occurred in
the British House of Commons over motion
Of O'Kelly (home ruler to adjourn, the in
tention being to obstruct legislation on the
Irish question. His proposition was rejected
by q large vote, and the debate on the Queens
speech was proceeded with. Mr.. Parnell
spoke at length, defending the action of the
land league, and was replied to by Mr..
Forster, chief secretary for Ireland, when
the debate was adjourned for the day. Mr..
Forster's manner was defiant. Amid great
laughter he read a letter from the land league
at Clare which asked for police aid. The
Parnellites propose to harass the government
from day to day. and business has already
been delayed by O'Kelly. Coercion will be
resisted to the utmost, and Mr.. Parnell boasts
tina. no such measures shall be passed for
three months.
Dublin dispatches say that thousands of
laborers will soon be starving unless care is
taken to supply their necessities, and the
prospect of their being idle to any cons ider-
able extent is very dsquieting. A large land
league meeting was held at Derry Lanes,
county Cavan, to-day.
