The New York World Of the 3Td says:
''Senator ingalls, neatly referred to Mr..
r. b. Hayes yesterday, - an alleged
Republican President.' Whether he
meant to my Mr.. Hayes was IN alleged
Republican or On alleged President does
not much signify. As matter OF fact
the country knows him 70 have heen
simply an alleged President and 1t Is
no wonder that Republicans should be
anxious to have 1t understood that he
was only IN alleged Republican.
Down along the line of the road 1t Is
rumorel and generally credited that the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific have
consolidated. This rumor propably has
It's origin in the pooling Of earnings ne
ferred to by the MINER yesterday, and
to negotiations probably looking to-
warsl consolidation. II it he true that
consolidation has been affected 1t will
be benefit to the business men OF
Montana In putting stop to discrim-
nations agaist California freights.
The New York Tribune of Feb. 6th,
cIitorially states that there are low but
$50 miles Of the Northern Pacific road
to liz built. 1t 10 expected the rad will
I've wholly completed in 1884. The COM
pany claim that their land grant Is not
affected by failure to complete the road
before July 1, 1873. A few months ago
the president approved $50 miles Of the
road, and patents were issued for lands
earned by the construction Of that por-
ton Of the line, in accordance with the
original grant.
Assistant Attorney Marble, who wrote
the opinion upon which Secretary
:;cI,urz decided that the Northern Pacific
land grant had not lapsed, and who
threw up his position to accept the at
torneyship If the Northern Pacific at
salary 81 Sl:,MO year, has gone back
and taken position ~ commissioner Of
patents. Criticisms on his course for &C
cepting y position under corporation
that had lten benefited by him pro-
duced n'isgiving, that made his position
rs u raiIroa'l attorney exceedingly unsa-
worry.
The Wisconsin Legislature on the ST.,
instant, adopted resolution that goes
to the true inwari1ess If the Mormon
question. The resolution pr.ambles
that the Te. ritorial government lv,s in
fact krn seized on ~ the church; that
electors ARE made sutservient to crime
anil the degradation Of citizens; and de-
clare it t. In the right and duty OF Con-
src>- I" meet these evils and enforce r.
forms by adequate remedies, and that
thu. constant reinforcement Of this So
called religious organization by the
sweclings Of America and Europe
should l'e directly prohibited.
Morgan, If Alabama, introduced q
resolution in the Senate, on the md,
for information about ordnance tests,
which will uncover, it is suspected, u
system If irregularities in the ordnance
department by which good deal Of pull
lie money hss lHcn w,.stcsl. The call
for investigation, which the resolution
implies, ts''''t~ from charges, vague ~ to
details, hut sweeping u to general allie
cations, that ring Of army officers
holds the most important and most cost
~ PATENTS for ordnance construct. ~
ami that they are r,:'l.ing rich harvest
therrfruln, the ordnance department
'n.img said I" prefer them over other ill.,
velIt"r~.
Later particulars If the sullivan
Ryan prize fight state that Ryan was
afflicted with hernia, and was partially
disabled hy falling on his truss early
in the action. Ilyan's hacker lost S.
:hW. 1t j. stated that Int wrcu $lUl.MsD
and ::sh','nW changed hands. sullivan
forced the fight from the start, acting
on the offensive in u degree almost fe,-
ci"us. He broke through ltyan's guard
almost every time. and then proceeded
to clincl,ing and wrestling. 1t il d.
mittesi that this style If fighting could
MT last u great while, and >ullivan's
friends trusting to his ability to finisl,
the fight quickly, which he did, the
rounds ln'ing very short, little science
was displayed ~ either men.
