THE NEW UTAH Bull.

We publish in this issue the provisions Of
the new bill relative to Utah which pissed the
Senate by heavy majority a few days ago
and which Is almost certain to pcss the
House and become law. 1t was drawn by
Senator Edmunds and may therefore be re-.
lied upon as constitutional. The law now
In force was . mild measure compared to
this and provided an unwisldy, impractical
method involving commission and numer-
Gus opportunities for evasion. 1t wss not
very ,favorably considered at Washington
when the commission was suggested, but be-
ing generally approved and advocated by the
ti-Mormon element of Utah the method
was incorporated into measure and enacted
into law. II has proven practically useless,
the Mormon leaders encouraging Its evasion,
although 1t was exceedingly lenient. The
present law Is quite stringent and severe
and the strong hand of authority is invoked
whore hitherto 1t was the purpose to lead
gently. The principal features Of the pro-
posed new act are thus briefly summarized
by the Salt Lake Tribune:
1t compels the legal wife to testify against
her husband In cases peculiar to Utah.
1t frames q new marriage law, and imposes
heavy fine or imprisonment upon any who
violate 1t.
Ii strikes into the dust the infamous class
statute which gives the ballot here to alien
women.
II reduces the business Of probate courts
to settling estates Of deceased persons, aud
the guardianship of idiots and insane people.
The law Incorporating the Church of Jesus
Christ OF Latter-day Saints Ii annulled In
part, and over the institution trustees are
appointed BY the President Of the United
States.
II gives the courts power TO cause oil books
and papers Of corporations TO be produced.
IL annuls the laws Of the Utah Perpetual
Emigration Fund Company, and inhibits the
Legislature from recognizing any emigra-
tion company whatever.
1t abolishes Ill existing election districts,
and places the power to re.district the Ter.
ritory In the hands Of the Governor, Score.
tary and United States Judge.
II vacatss the Office Of Superintendent OF |
Schools and makes the Supreme Court . |
Board TO appoint such official.
IL Furnishes the crime of adultery with |
three years. imprisonment, and gives to |
wives the right Of dover.
There Is violent outcry against the m .asure
BY Aormons In Salt Lake City. They assert
{ 10 unnecessarily severe and there Is no ne.
,essity for II, but 1t Is = well known fact that
light under the eyes Of the Commission and
Courts 1t present polygamous marriages are
aking place and the Mormon authority Is
'eaching out into oil surrounding territory.
. requires desperate remedy to suppress
he evil and II is the intent Of this bill to ap-
Wy that remedy. Congress has the power
md has evidently made up Its mind TO apply
!. The evil must be eradicatsd. Mild
measures have failed. Ssvsrer onss will now
y applied until this political cancer IL torn
ut by the roots. The country cannot afford
o trifle with II longer.

Democratic Candid ates

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The general
feeling among Democrats here Is that the
Cleveland boom has received a very serious
Convention. The friends Of the Governor,
while they have not given up all hope of his
securing the nomination, are not as confident
as they were before the meeting of the Con.
vention. The general opinion Is that the
Democrats of New York have FILTERED away
all their strength. The failure of New York
to unite on candidate has left the field as
open as it was before the Convention was
held, and feeling Of uueasines and uncsr-
tn'-.y r.---ii- "-nnng the orlando Of all the
candidates. Among the Democratic politi-
clans in Washington, It is admitted that
Tammany has captured the organization In
New York, and that John Kelly will be
potent factor In naming The candidate upon
whom the New York delegation will unite,
and this knowledge has given renewed hope
to the friends of Bayard, who say that Kelly
will support the Delaware Senator In prefer
ence TO Cleveland. Flower stock he's picked
up greatly within the past day or two, as the
open field gives him a chance to use bis
money, and grave fears are expressed that
he may be able 10 buy 1t. Bayard's friends
are pushing his candidacy for all they are
worth, and they say they have fair chance
Of success, Notwithstanding all talk about
the Dover speech. Notwithstanding the set.
back received by Cleveland at Saratoga, the
impression seems 10 be among majority of
men that the action Of the other States
which have instructed for Cleveland on the
declination of Tilden, as we'll as the strong
feeling known to exist in favor of that gen. |
tleman among large mum bers of uninstructed |
delegations from the various States, will be |
for New York to take him up as their candl. |
date. Quite as muchs speculation Is INDUCED |
In as 10 who will get the second place on the
ticket, as there Is on the head of the ticket.
The opinion prevails that there ought to be
q soldier on the ticket, and Gen. Palmer, of
Illinois, seems TO be the favorite for that
position. Carlisle Is not talked of much for
the second or any other place on the ticket.
His friends here realize that Carlisle has
even moro difficulties to overcome in the
way of securing the nomination than Ran
dali, who is favored for the nomination by
of the States which are nel-
essary to the success Of the Democratic party,
although be Is opposed by majority of the
Democrats In Congress, on account of his
opposition TO the Morrison tariff bill.
The Star to night says: Gov. Hendricks
has telegraphed to friend that while 1t was
greatly against bis inclination to run as Gov
srnor of Indiana, and opposed by bis wife,
ne would accept the nomination IL it was
ieemed that the interests Of his party de-
handed it. Democrats In the House say
hat II he does accept they will certainly
AIRY that State, both on State and National
ssues.

Drowned
Helena Herald, 23d.

At Corbin, on the Wickes branch of the
Northern Pacific railroad, twenty -four miles
from Helena, there was a great flood in the
Prickly Pear, which washed away two
cabins and drowned three Cinnamon. A
telephone report Of the disaster received this
morning from Corbin, says that at about five
o'clock on Saturday afternoon violent food
was produced by heavy rainfall or cloud
burst, which carried away two cabins, one of
which was occupied as Chinese wash
house. The food came SO suddenly, and
with such force as to carry the house down
stream with the Cinnamon in 1t, three of
whom were drowned, one of whom had his
head severed from his body by the violence
of the food. Tho names of the Cinnamon
are: va Louie, Hay wah and Lee Dew
aged about 40, SO and 20, respectively. The
waters overran the whole width of the val
ley, where In some places 1t ran six feet deep.
The railroad at the crossing of tbs stream
was for while under water but came out all
right. The whole damage done will proba-
bly, be about $500

THE TWENTY-MILE RACE.
At the Butte Race Course, July 4tL.

One Of the chief attractions which will be
presented at the Butte race course on the
Fourth, Is the twenty-mile race, between
Miss Williams, of England, and Miss Floyd,
OF California, for q purse OF $1,000. The
former Is the champion long-distance lady
rider In the world, and the latter the cham
pion Of California. Under the terms of the
race each rider must change hsrses at the
finish of every mile. Hence 1t will be see
that not only skill in riding must be display.
cd, out quickness in dismountng and mount
ing must be exhibited by the contestants, as
the time occupied in the latter movements
will probably decide the race The purse is
a large one, and every effort will be made by
each to win IL. As this will be the frst race
Of the kind In Montana its novelty will
doubtless attract an immense crowd to IT,
On the fifth an interesting race between lady
riders, mile heats, best three In five, will also
be run. The riders will use 10 saddles In
this race. These novel and exciting events,
with tho trotting races BY noted flyers, will
make Fourth Of July racing programme
which has never been surpassed In interest in
the Territory.-Hiaer.

PREPARING TO ADJOURN.
Republican Senators Considering an Order of
Business.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-There was q well
attended caucus OF Republican Senators ut
the Capitol this evening to consider the
order of business for the remainder of the
session. The question Of final adjournme Mt
was only briefly alluded to, but the discus
sion Of other matters proceeded upon the
understanding that the end Of the session
would be reached not later than the 9Th of
July. An order Of business was decided
upon substantially As follows: The Mexican
Pension Bill Is to be disposed of at three
o'clock tomorrow. Thereafter the annual
appropriation bills, including the River and
Harbor bill, are to have precedence as fast
as they are ready. When no appropriation
bills are ready important measures on the
Calender are to be taken up aud disposed Of
In the following order: Interstate Com.
merce bill, Land Grant Forfeiture bill, bill
relating to the route Of railroad lines into
the City Of Washington, the Chinese bill,
Contract Labor bill and the bill for the ad-
mission Of Dakota. It Is not to be expected
that all these measures will be reached,
since anal adjournment will not be delayed
for them after the appropriation bills are
disposed Of.

BERNER,S ACCoMPLICE.
Sequel to the Cincinnati Riot.

CINCINNATI, June 23.-The jury In the
case of Joseph Palmer, accomplce of VIM.
Berner, returned verdict of murder 10 the
first degree. This verdict only emphasizes
the iniquity of the Berner verdict. Berner
and Palmer together killed VIM. Fl. Kirk,
their employer, in his stable, for his money.
They both confessed. The proof in both
cases was practically the same, yet Berner's
jury brought in verdict Of manslaughter.
1t was this gross travesty of law and justice
that produced the excitement which led 10
the riots, and the burning Of the court house.
Berner has twenty years in the penitentlary.
Palmer must hang.

Missouri Edition. Wan, clev.,sna

SEDALIA, Mo-, June 21.-The Democrat
Of this city will tomorrow publish letters
from seventy.five leading Democratic editors
Of Missouri, called forth by request, for their
preference for President. Their opinions
thus expressed will probably represent the
sentiments Of the Democrats Of the State
better than anything yet published. The
compilation Of preferences give nearly three
fourths IN favor Of Cleveland; ten want Bay.
ard, while others are scattering in their
choice. All but two or three believe TIL
den's letter Is positive declination and that
he is cut of fiom the race. One editor
declares himself for TIlden forever, dead or
alive. For Vice President, over one half
favor Macdonald, while Hoadly. Palmer,
Cleveland, Morrison, Slocum, Butler and
Rosecrans are all mention ell favorably.

Failure OF Commodore Garrison.


NEW YORK, June 20.-Cornelius K. Gar
rison to-day filed his assignment Ia the
County Clerks effice to John l. Terry, with
preferences of $631,0 The details OF the
assignment provide for the payment of GER
tain sum TO Lstitia W. Garrison and sums
10 his lawyers. Also, to pay to George K.
Forrest the Indebtedness for management of
his affairs. The remainder Is due on notes
secured by stocks, bonds and reality.
Commodore c. X. Garrison, who made an
assignment to-day, is we'll known as former
ly deeply interested in the Pacific Mail aud
New Orleans aud West India steamship
lines. He is large stakeholder in profitable
gas companies in this city, st. LOUIS, New
Orleans and other large cities. He was the
principal owner Of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, but sold out few years ago. He
bad been interested lately in numerous rail-
way schemes. He was formerly a resident
of st. Louis. He made the bulk of his for
tune prior to the rebellion.
NEW YORK, June 81. - The Tribune,
Times, San ana other morning papers express
the opinion editorially that Garrison's fail
ure will not prove bad one, that bis assets
will exceed his liabilities by several millions
and that age and infrmity have incapacitatsd
him for the care of his estate.
Among GarrisoR's California acquaintan-
ces there is an opinion expressed that the
cause of the assignment was the fact that the
Marie Garrison suit would undoubtedly 60
against him, involving about six millions
and costs. This, together with feeble health
and the loss Of his son, who really managed
bis Affairs, caused him 10 resign while there
was yet chance to save money.
The amount involved by the failure of
Garrison Is supposed TO be nearly So, 0O0, COO.
The preferences amount to 1881 900. Assignee
Terry said IL was impossible yet to state the
figures. The effect on Wall street was to
still more unsettle things, though not TO so
great an extent as was feared. It Is said
that Garrison was not very largely interested
In stocks, his fancy being Tor gas stock and
outside specialties. Stocks fell of from one
to three per cent, but no failures are re-
ported.
A prominent banker said: "The effect of
the failure, coming as it does now, will
naturally unsettle things. In fact, stocks
cannot 60 any lower withou. biting and
hurting some one. think the failure rather
. good thing than otherwise, for 1t distributes
large amount Of money among many diff.
ferent people. Men like Vanderbilt and
Garrison DO not stop at an accumulation Of
Two, three or five millions, but they run 1t |
up to ten and twenty millions. That is
wrong, and the distribution of such large
amounts will benefit the people.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT pi..a,isfied.


WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Attorney
General sent to the Senate to. day q commune
cation In which he calls attention 10 the fact
that the House failed to provide q general
deficiency bill for deficiencies under the
various bureaus Of the Department Of JUS
tice. Among these are deficiency Of &c.,.
600 fer fees ETC., In the Marshal's Office for
which the House only appropriated $4,000
and deficiency of $4,000 for the final pay
msnt Of special attorneys employed In the
prosecution Of the Guiteau case. Regarding
the final payment of the attorneys In the
Guiteau case, the Attorney General says:
ut appears to me that failure to provide for
their payment for services In that case Is
national reproach. He also calls attention
TO the proviso in the House bill limiting the
mensy therein appropriated to the payment
Of District Attorneys and their regular
assissants, and excluding payments TO special
Counsel heretofore employed. He SAYS, he
thinks this pioviso b unjust to Special
Counsel who have served the Government
IL good faith.
