The Utah Contested Election Case.
NEW YORK, January 22d-The Ttt5une's
Washington special says The records and
testimony N the contested election case of
Cannon against Campbell, of Utah, have
bean printed. and Chairman Caikius, OF the
Elections Committee, says the committee will
b gin consideration of the case next Tuesday.
01e If the points invslved is Cannon's citi-
zenship. According to the evidence of Can
nous brother, they both came to the United
States from England in 1912, when the coz
testsut was 15 wears old. Five years later be
eTaigrated to Utah. Two years later, when
In 1880, according TO the testimony
Of William Farrar, a brother Mormon.
Cannon wss sent bv the Church
"a missionary to the Sandwich Islands,
where he remained until July. 1854, during
which period he translated the Book of Nor
mon into the Hawaiian language. Cannon
claims that in December, 1854, he became
duly naturalizsd as citizen of the United
States, and be produces certificate that he
was SO naturalized; bat the journal of the
proceedings of the Court fails to show the
fact of such naturalization. as the laws of
Utah require. It is therefore contended, not
only that Caunon's naturalization certificate
Is null and void, but that he was not entitled
IN 1854 to \ certificate, because he had not
continuously resided in the United State
during the Eve years next preceding the date
q its issue.
Another point which the Elections Com.
mittee will be called upon to consider is
whether man who admits that he lives in
open violation Of the law of the United States,
the penalty for which is fee of not exceed
ing $500 and imprisonment for q term not
exceeding five years. and who also admits
that he has advised and taught others to
violate that law, is entitled to seat in Con-
gress. Cannon heard that his wives were to
be summoned TO testify in the case, aud to
aToid that he agreed 10 admit the facts.
Railroad Gossip.
CHICAGO, January 22d.-The Times says
The call of President Mutt. OF the Atlantic
aad Pscifc, and President Strong. OF The
Santa Fe, fer subsoiption of S16 500, coo,
TO con pis,5 the westere division of the st
iantis @Dd Pacs6o TO Sen FFaneisco. has
dra~ . I eoysls opposition fron tho Southern
Pseifia peop's. 1t is rumored that up to spme
weeks ago MIR Huntington ard his associates
aeri5ed the idea that the Atlantic and Pacific
proposed building through to San Fran
cisco. They were reported as having said
that that company would not attempt
TO construct further than TO a Junction
with the Southern Pacific. They found
however, that the financial plan proposed by
the Aslsnti; aud Pacific and its coadjutor,
the Santa Fe, was likely to prove successful,
and in anticipation of a call for subscriptions
the SoRthern Peciic syndicate commenced
negotiations. They proposed an agreement
L., u. !
lite proposed line to San Francisco, and in
stead build only to the Colorado river, and
that the Southern Pacific should build its line
eastward fron its main line TO the Colorado
river to a junction with the Atlantic and
Pacific Company. The financial syndi
cate which is behind the Atlantic anG
Pacific has decided that the road must
be extended through to San Francisco with
all dispatch possible. and must not enter into
any entauglement or arrangement with the
Southern Pacific. Pending these negoia
tons for q compromise, the ARRANGEMENT of a
vigorous agitation has been suddenly foment
ed in and out of Congress for a cancellation
OF railroad land grants, and now il is alleged
that Huntington and tbs Southern Pacific party
are behind this agitation, and that their true
sina is to cast such doubt uoon the land grant
rights of the Atlantic and Pacific as will deter
capitalists from subscribing to the scheme
fer the immediate extension of the road &c
San Francisco. It is reported, however, that
President Mutt has purchased over l, coo, 00(
ties for the California division, and hiss
shipped by ocean TO San Francisco steel fol
tracking fifty miles of road from that city
eastward. Il Is understood that another
conference between the Huntington party
and Presidents Strong and Mutt will take
place in New York during the present week.
