TtCO Voting BOTeS.

An effort will be made next Mon
day to induce the County Court to
divide the First Civil District, which
embraces McMinnVille, into two
voting precincts. The vote of the
District has become so large that it
is a very laborious task for one set of
judges and clerks to hold the election
and count out the vote. With the
District as it at present stands, the
judges and clerks have to work all
night in counting out the vote, and it
will facilitate both the voting and
counting to make two voting pre-
cincts. We believe all the voters OF
the District would be very much
pleased with such a change.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 12.-This was
Virginia day with the President.elect,
his principal visitors being large dele
cation of prominent Republicans from the
ten Congressional Districts or Virginia,
who came here to urge the appointment
of General William Malone to place in
the Cabinet. They came as delegation,
appointed by the Republican Committee
of Virginia at its last meeting, December
18th, to convey to the President-elect
certain resolutions adopted at that meet
ing in the interest of the appointment of
General Malone. They also brought a
memorial signed by Republican MEM
bers-elect OF the Virginia Legislature to
the same effect. General Harrison re-
ceived the delegation In the back parlor.
In an address to the President-elect, Mr..
Craig said they asked the appointment
of General Malone to the Cabinet be-
cause that was almost the unanimous
decision of the party in Virginia. He
made strong argument to show, if the
South was to get place in
the Cabinet, Virginia should get it.
and why in that event, Malone should
be recognized. He said all efforts to
break the Solid South had failed, and in
fact Republican organization in Virginia
was abandoned, until in 1879 Malone led
a movement, whereby over fifty Thousand
ex- Confederates and their sons united
with the faithful band of Republicans
AS to opposition against General Malone
in Virginia it practically amounted te
nothing. Several other members made
earnest talks for Malone. General Har
rison was an attentive listener, and aftel
cordially welcoming his visitors and ex
pressing pleasure at meeting them, be
briefly stated in substance that the mat
ter presented should receive his careful
consideration. The Virginians expressed
themselves as greatly pleased with thei
visit and especially with their cordia
reception by General Harrison. They
left for home this evening.

THE OTHER SIDE.
The MOrmonss Grain for the Ad.
mission of Utah.

mission of Utah.
WASHINGTON, January 12.-The House
Committee of Territories devoted its
session this morning to the hearing of
the argument upon the claims of Utah
for admission. The element seeking ad-
mission was represented by Delegate
Caine, Franklin Richards and j. M.
Wilson. In opposition were Judge
Baskins, Governor West, Mr.. Ferry and
Judge Mcbride.
Mr.. Richards opened the argument in
address, in which he briefly told of the
settlement Of Utah, the hardships and
suferings undergone by the pioneers !;
spoke of the growth of the Territory /;
pointed to the large proportion of people
who owned homes, compared with other
sections OF the country; defended the
patriotism of the inhabitants, citing the
efforts of their ancestors in war. Touch
ing the charges relative to polygamy, he
declared that since the passage of the
act of 1882 there had been only ten con-
victions for new plural marriages; all OF
the three hundred other convictions were
cases where the marriage had been con-
| tracted before the enactment of the law.
Richards attacked the Governor of the
Territory accusing him of misrepresenting
the position and Intention of the Mormon
inhabitants of Utah, and perverting
facts generally in the interest of the
Gentiles. He characterized as absurd
what he called the dime novel stories of
Mormon atrocities, and asserted that
there was no danger to the Gentle prop
erty holders in Utah in the admission of
the Territory as State. Property would
be protected under the State constitution
as it had been under the constitution of
the Territory. In conclusion he set out
in detail the claims of the Territory to
admission, and appealed to the Commit
tee in the name of patriotism, justice
and honor not to be influenced
by the plants OF few entbusi-
asts to longer keep her loyal
people in political serfdom. He
took up the Governors report to the
Secretary of the Interior and read affida-
Wits to show that it was incorrect as to
the power OF the Church in civil affairs.
He quoted from Church authorities to
show the perfect freedom of members tc
vote as they please, and from the election
laws to prove that no one can discover
what or whom any elector votes for. Also
that tithing is an entirely voluntary dona'
tion determined by the giver, and thai
the whole Mormon theory is based or
free agency and in practice everything il
done by common consent, making the
Mormon Church the most Democratic or
earth. He deprecated the Governor
presence here for the avowed purpose O
trying to establish all absolutism il
Utah, which with the Legislative Com
mission, would have the power to appoin
all the local officers.

/ CHICAGO, January 12.-The general
managers of the lines west, northwest
and southwest of Chicago, who have
been striving for two weeks to agree on
a plan for the formation of passenger
traffic union in their territory, completed
their labors this evening. The result
was the adoption of the plan proposed
last September with various amendments
and notifications. The discussion in
regard to commissions was settled by
fixing nominal sum to be paid Eas ern
agents for the sale of tickets over western

amendment in case the presidents

NEXT Tuesday an event will take place
here of the greatest significance. The
California Sewer Pipe Company will set
their wheels in motion and formally
open up their enterprise. The company
has already secured a contract for $50, 900
worth of pipe. AS many as 200 men will
be employed about the concern. If this
city is severed at once, as it ought to be,
the company is determined to secure the
work against all comers in the open field
Of competition. Should this be done the
force of men at the works will be doubled.
Here is the first gun fred in the new
boom, that of local enterprise in the
manufacturing line, and if others develop
the same energy as these gentlemen,
this new boom will not collapse.

of New Mexico is possessed OF sufficient
resolute intelligence and inhabitants to
authorize and require it's admission into

people of the Territory, in convention
assembled, representing every portion

upon and demand admission into the
Federal Union and furthermore, we ask

The Yantic is still at quarantine. Lieu

crew are in very precarious condition.
Later in the day the steamer Mercedes
was put in sailing order. She steamed
out of Stapleton during the afternoon,
having cleared for Samana with cargo
of coal. 1t was learned that the vessel
was purchased recently in Boston by
Leonica Julia, the st. Domingo Consul at
this port, for 100000. He said he
bought her for speculative pur-

under the Dominion flag, with
a view to finding ready sale for her
upon her arrival. Julia denied that the
Mercedes carried anything in the nature
of contraband of war.
Despite Julia's denial some shipping
men regard the Mercedes as intended
for the use of Hippolyte, and say she
will be turned into a war vessel. A
story from Stapleton says the Mercedes
took on several heavy cases between 2
and 8 O'Clock this morning. What the
cases contained was not stated. A re-.

THE product of the precious metals in
California last year amounted to over
100000. That of Nevada was about
the same. For all States and Territories
west of the Missouri and within the
limits of the United States the results of
mining were, in round numbers: Lead,
$1l 100000 copper, $4,000, 900; sil.
yer, $53,000,000; gold, 100000, 900.
The output of gold is about an average
for the past twenty years. The highest
figure in that period was $44 200, 900 in
1877. The results in silver are the
highest since 1870.
