A Warm Corner.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3I.-That the
public ut large understood the con-
test in the House was Tot ended by
yesterdays republican victory was
made manifest 10y n glance at the
galleries this morning. Half an
hour before noon every nook and
Granny was filed with spectators,
and the corridors outside the gal
lery doors were crowded with an
expectant throng, patiently await
ing the opportunity 10 be admitted
when the House met. The clerk pro-
ceeding in the usual manner to read
the abridged journal, emitting the
details Of the vote, Bland. Of Mis-
souri,, demanded the reading Of the
document in full, asd this was
ordered bF the Speaker.
The clerk WAS preceding to read
from the record the detailed To.es
Of yesterday, when Authmarte OBJ
jected. and demanded that the read
ing should be from the original
document.
The Speaker said the clerk was
reading from the record as a matter
Of convenience, but if thessntleman
objected he must have his way, and
he instructed the clerk accordingly.
The reading Of the Journal was not
completed until 1880, and immedi-
ately
Mckinley moved that the journal
be offered, and on that motion de-
manded the previous question.
Springer INTERCEPTED motion TO
adjourn, saying that ne did 20 TO
enable the committee on rules 10
bring in n code Of rules.
The Speaker said the gentleman
was not in order in speaking on the
motion to adjourn.
Springer-There are 10 rules for
the House.
The Speaker-There are rules for
the House.
Springer-Where are they?
The Speaker-The rules that gov
ern parliamentary assemblies and
rules most distinctly declare that a
motion 10 adjourn is not debatable,
Of which the gentleman is perfectly
aware.
The motion to adjourn was lost
yeas l55, nays l62, and the question
recurring on demand for the pre-
vious question the yeas aud nays
were ordered. The democrats again
pursued their policy of not voting,
and the Speaker once more pursued
his method Of jotting down the
names Of members present and not
voting.

scribes who delight in libelling
everybody supposed 10 look with
eyes Of justice upon the Mormon,

the bar Of the Supreme Court of
this Territory and, so far as we can
learn, is entitled, by his legal
standing and good reputation, to the
respect of any community among
whom he resides or sojourns for a
season. The gentleman is Jesse b.
Barton, Esq, who was, on Thurs
day, denied the right to appear as
an attorney for voters who were
objected tp, in the tremendously
important court Of Registrar Me-
Callum.
Mr.. Barton holds credentials that
prove his admission TO the bar Of the
Supreme Court of the State of Iii
nois, Of the District Court of the
United States for the Northern Dis
trict Of Illinois, and of the Circuit
Court Of the United States for the
same district. He has also been en-
dorsed by Chief Justice Fuller of
the Supreme Court of the United
States as a gentleman Of honor.
ability and trustworthiness. who
will attend faithfully to any duty
he undertakes; he has been associated
with Judge Fuller on several very
important cases.

A Panama Butchery.

A most dastardly and revolving crime
was perpetrated at the village of Charme
on the coast of the bay of Panama. Two
French gentlemen who started a planta-
ton there not long ago were found one
morning in their house with their heads
completely severed from their bodies. On
search being made it was found that the
sum of 81 1000 in silver, which had been
drawn by one of the partners from a bank
in Panama a few days before, and all their
jewelry and other personal valuables had
disappeared Suspicion fell Immediately
on the two laborers employed by them to
work the plantation, as on inquiry it was
discovered that they had decamped. The
authorities here at once instituted a vigor-
GUS search for the fugitiyes, which has re-
suited in their capture.

AN IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Mai. Powell Will Prepare a Bill for Con.
gressiOnal Consideration

Mai. Powell Will Prepare a Bill for Ton.
gressional Consideration,
Maj. Powell, of the geological survey,
has prepared a bill which will soon be in
reduced in both houses OF congress pro-
viding for preliminary work fol- irrigation
of the arid lands of the west. 1t contem.
plates a survey of the arid region and the
division into districts by photographic
basins, each basin consisting of the
streams and tributaries which thew drain
and which may be made available for wat
ering the lands. Each basin is to have n
local government similar to q county
government, enablisg settlers in
ach to control their affairs subject only to
the United States laws. There are also
provisions for the corporation of the city
authorities with the district officers, An
objection to n feature of the bill Is that
the basin districts would not be confnedto
n state and one district may be composed
OF parts of two states. This point is de-
laying the report on the bill. 1t further
provides that settlers may obtain theirland
by homesteads, retain ownership of waters
within their districts, Ivy tax, mort
gage their land to companies who shall
furnish money for irrigation and do all
other things that may be necessary in con-
n%ection with fertilization. The bill will
provide that after a certain number of
years during which. the irrigation company
shall be paid for its surveys, its rights shall
cease, and reservoirs, canals and other
works pass into the hands and become the
property of settlers themselves. Federal
government. simply d~esignates reservoirs,
creeks and irrigatable lands and authorizes
the construction of canals and reservoirs.
No settler can acquire more than eighty
acres of irrigatable land, while mining
land, coal lands and town sites are to be
obtained under provisions of the existing

Bishop wigger Back. Down.

The circular prepared by the Ri. Rev.
W. NJ. Wlgger, Catholic bishop of the
diocese Of Newark, N. j., condemning the
public schools and ordering the faithful
under his charge to send their children to
the parochial schools of the diocese under
pain of communication, was not received
by the Catholic clergy of Hoboken and
Jersey City and consequently was not read
from the affairs of the Catholic churches
in those cities. In fact, Bishop
Wigger, owing to the determined
opposition of some his leading
priests, has reconsidered his determine
ton to anathemize those of his people who
continue to find some virtue in the public
schools. He is now expected to issue o
private circular to his clergy instructing
them that under certain conditions and
circumstances member of their tlocks may
continue to patronize the public schools.

The fine large storage dam built at
Prescott, Ariz., across the Hassayampa
river by the Walnut Grove Dam Storage
company two years ago at a cost of $780,
900, gave way under pressure of q heavy
flood and swept everything before it. Forty
persons are known to have lost their lives.
The service of the dam company, located
fifteen miles below the reservoirs, and
fifteen miles of hume just approaching
completion, were also swept away
The company has spent over $500, 900
on the enterprise of steering water for hy-
draulic mining. Machinery had arrived
and they expected to commence operations
soon. The dam which held the waters
back was ITO feet long at the base and 400
at the top and was 40 feet thick at the
base and 10 feet at the top, forming a lake
three miles in length by three-fourths of a
mile wide and 10 feet deep.

SILVER
Secretary Window Answers Objections I,
His Measure-The Senate Bill.

Secretary Window Answers Objections Tn
His Nleasure-The Senate Bill.
secretary Window, before the house
committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures, IN regard to silver coinage, declared
his bull was framed to meet, in the best
way he could devise, the present financial
condition Of the country. He disayowed
all charges that the bill was a mere make.
Shift, that its author did not believe in it,
and that it was brought forward to defeat
some other measure.
MIR. Window took up in order the objec-
tons that have been made against the bill.
The matter of exclusion of foreign ores he
covered IN an amendment to the first Sec
ton providing that every bar of silver bull"
lion imported must be stamped foreign"
as must also such bars when remelted OF
refined. This provision is elaborated and
penalties provided for failure to comply
herewith.
The secretary answered in a concise
manner the other objections, and said he
was convinced the measure would meet all
needs without e%ndangering the interests Of
the country ana would absorb the surplus
silver and thereby put up its price. The
operations of this bill would tend to raise
the price of farm products. Free coinage
would reduce silver below its present value.
This bill would increase tine circulation of
the country $50, 900, 900 annually.
The principal features of the silver bill
to be reported by the senate committee Oh
finance as a substitute for the several bills
on That subject referred to it, are stated:
be these: The secretary of the treasury
authorized to increase the purchase of sill
Yer bullion from S 9 ,OO0, 900 to $4,000, 900
per month, and the requirement of the
present law that the coinage of silver be
at the rate of not less than 50, 900, 900 per
month be stricken out. The secretary is
also authorized to purchase gold bullion
in Unrestricted quantities. Upon this gold
aud silver bullion the secretary shall issue
treasury notes of su b denominations as
he shall see fit, to be redeemable in lawful
