BRIGHAM IoUNa, JR WHO i, apPsr
emily the administrative man of the
Mormons, has announced that favor,
able arrangements having been made,
and grant OF land obtained from the
Mexican government, several bodies
OF the saints will in few months set
out for the northern part OF Mexico,
,nd settle in Chihauhau. Brigham
Young is careful to state that they are
not flying from persecution in Utah,
but that they find themselves too
much crsnp ped for room and must ex-
psnd. Whether or not they are hyiny
from the grasp of the law and the
penitentiary in the United States, it
is certain that they will not find any
less stringent laws against them in
Mexico. The Mexican government is
Roman Catholic, and sets its face like
a flint against 3 plurality OF wives.
Permission for the Mormons TO settle
IN Chihauhau was only obtained on
condition that they should obey the
laws; and the Mexican laws against
polygamy are more severe than those
in the United States, being based not
only upon political but upon religious
principles, Polygsmlsts in Mexico
will not find their lot exactly bed of
roses.

FROM THE CAPITOL.

THE computation made at the treas
ury department, sho VS. that the bullion
value of standard silver dollars, accord
ing to London rates of silver, is 79 Z 10
cents.
THE treasury committee appointed to
count the moneys and securities at San
Francisco has reported that the count
is finished and that everything was
found correct.
A SUIT will be instituted by the GOV
ernment against George B. Loring, Of
Massachusetts, to recover 1000 alleged
to have been Illegally expended by him
while commissioner of agriculture.
l.. w. Groesbeck, Of the Sixth Infantry,
have been detached 10 meet at Ogden,
Utah, the Chinese commissioners com.
ing from San Francisco to Investigate
the difficulties which recently occurred
at Rock Springs, Wyoming. and to act
as their escort during the investigation.
IT is stated at the treasury depart
ment that the only Significance of the
recent cancellation of silver certificates
to the amount of about $15,000,000 lies
in the fact, as shown by experience, that
the certificates of large denomination
are practically worthless as a circulat-
ing medium The notes destroyed were
$4,000 and $4,000 certificates, and it is
proposed in case they shall be required
to replace them with $40, $40, $50, and
$1C0 certificates, as the latter are much
better adapted for general circulation.
THE commission appointed under the
G.ct of March 3, 1885, to examine the

secretary of the interior. The claims

Recent investigations by the Lon

functions ns-ClaPham junction, for in

half an hour for getting home and to
