land, accompanied by her friend, Miss
Nelson, OF Albany arrived at the White
House at late. hour this evening, to be
present at the Presidents wedding, the de-
tails of which are gradually taking form.
It is decided that, or. Benjamin Folsom,
Miss Folsom's cousin as her nearest male
relatve, will give the bride a LAY, and it is
very probable that Miss Cleveland will
stand up with the bride, but whether the
President will be supported by best man

general impression prevails among those
who are best informed, that there will be
neither bridesmaid nor groomsman. An
exceptionally large number OF persons
visited the White House to-day tn pay
their respects to the President, and con-
pratulate him on his approaching marriage.

General Washington Notes.
The Committee on Judiciary of the |
House to-day discussed the details OF the |
Edmunds' Utah bill and will endeavor to |
finish it's consideration next week. Changes |
of great Importance have been made, but
the action up to the present time is not
final and may be reversed or materially
modified when the committee come to pass
upon the measure IS whole. Perhaps
the most radical chanse made SO far is the
excision of the clauges providingf for the APP
p0intment OF trustees to take charge OF the
Mormon Church property, and the insertion
of clause absolutely repeating the
federal charter granted the Church
aad Emigration Society. Ii a quorum of
the committee can be got together next
Tuesday efforts will be made to agree on
and report the bill to the House so as to
get it upon the calendar, though it is not
believed that action can be had on it in
that body during the remainder OF this
session.
