Shooting the Dangerous Rapids OF II

James N1Scr.
RlcIlMoSp, May 20.-Yesterday Capt.
Paul Boyton, who has been in this city
several days, performed the perilous feat OF
shooting the james river rapids-an under.
taking which he considers his most hazard
GUS since the shooting Of the Tagus rapids,
in Spain, and the descent OF the Yellow
stone river. These rapids are so dangerous
that no boat has been able to live in them,
tho water rushing over immense bowlders.
and in many places dashins into terrible
sucks and whirlpools. The rapids are about
three miles in length, and the fall from
the highest point to the river landing be-
low the city is about eighty feet. When
Boyton announced his purpose to attempt
to shoot these rapids good many citizens
regarded the thing absurd and suicidal,
and wanted the authorities to interfere.
Two places in the river through which he
had to go arc known us Hell and Heaven.
The first is dangerous suck, which
has caused the death OF more than one
daring swimmer, who, venturing too near,
was drawn in to his destruction. Heaven
is portion OF the rapids where the cur
rent rushes along with resistless Jury into
the whirlpool OF Hell. Boyton got in the
stream above the city. He had double.

order to prevent, il possible, his water.
proof suit being torn on the rocks. When
in the middle OF the river he was ut the
mercy Of u current running ut the rate OF
thlrty.eight miles an hour, and was shot at
once over a dam with ten.foot drop. He
was somewhat stunned, but continued to
smoke his cigar, and stcered as best he
could through these sharp rocks. He went
through Heaven at q terrific speed and
over the powders into He'll, where he was
drawn under, several times, but finally
forced himself out, much bruised, although
no bones were broken. The rest OF his
journey was safely performed, + 'sga5

Congrt s. attempt was made
last weef > repair the first break
occasioneu 10y the law, and this
toggling business is even more pain
fully childish than the original act.
The proceedings in the Senate. on
the I'd instant, when provision
was attempted to be made for
the vacated election caused by
the Edmunds law, were printed
in the HERALD on Wednesday,
and they disclose such shocking
ignorance of the matters legislated
about that one ought not to wonder
that courts are kept busy in trying
to find out the meaning of congress
sionaI enactments. and laws are so
often found inapplicable and worth
less. The middle has been
made infinitely more intricate by
this effort to disentangle affairs. If
matters had been left where the first
blunder placed them, in time
they would have come straights
without any very serious cor e-
quences, but now there will GER
tainly be grand mixing up unless.
by sort of mutual agreement and
brotherly understanding between
the people. the officials, the courts
and the governor, things can be run
smoothly Until such time as Con-
g1ess can straighten. its crooked
work. The next time orr national
lawmakers attempt to legislate for
Utah. they would do well to ask
somebody to enlighten them as to
the subject. This bull-headed blum
dering not only makes learned SEN
ators appear like asses, but will get
things into such mess one of these
days, that the only way to proceed
will beto rub out all that has been.
dOue, and begin again.

CONGRESS- AND a good many Of
the newspapers have the impression
that the Utah. commission possesses
extraordinary powers. The press is
excusable for thus believing, but
Congress is not. The commission
has very limited power. It cannot
call an election, as so many seem to
think, it can turn nobody out Of
Office, and in fact can do nothing ex-
cept unC-r the territorial election
laws. The commission may go be-
You'd those laws, and count this man

other course than that marked out

which event the commissioners
