Judge Porter re sumed his argument to the jury this morn ing, but owing to the severity of the weath er, which caused great suffering to himself, the court and the jury, he varied his argu ment very much from hisoriginal intention. He did not linger upon the dry details of the case but confined himself to the discus sion of the most important facts. During the whole progress of the argu ment Guitteau kept up a continuous stream of spiteful and vindictive abuse. Never be fore had his vindictiveness been so plain. Seeing that his impending doom was un mistakably near at hand, his cunning merged i lto severe outbursts of anger and sr.ite. As soon as Judgs Cox had finished de livering his charge to the jury Che latter retired for deliberation. A few minutes after the jury had retired the Court adjourned for a short recess. Soon after adjournment of the Court the jry signified that they had. agreed upon a verdict. Thereupon the court was reopened and the jury was then called in. The jury then declared that they had agreed upon their verdict and that they had found the prisoner guilty of murder in the first d-gre', as charged in the indictment. The jury va3 cat deliberating only six minutes in arriving to a conclusion. The wires are down east of Chicago.

Judgement Traveling Cross -Lots. Last week mentioned the murder of Geo. B. Keynolds, by foot pads in Seattle on the eveuing of the 17th. Further news concerning the vigilants committee formed there, came to late for that issue. It seems they discovered a one armed man named James Sullivan, and another, Wm. Howard, hid in some hay on a dock, and placed them in the custody of the Sheriff. Next morn ing they were taken before two Justices, who conducted the trial in joint session, assisted by Chief Justice Green, of the terri torial supreme court. The evidence against them was direct and conclusive, leaving no doubt of their guilt. A loaded revolver taken from Sulliv-in had one empty cham ber; and two witnesses identified the per ! sons as the same parties who bad stopped ! them upon the street on Monday night, : ami robbed them at the point of the same ' revolver: Plaster casts were taken of tracks j known to have been made by the porpttra I tors near the place of shooting, 'vhich proved to exactly correspond with prisoner's i shoes. As soon as they ha 1 been remanded ; to the custody of the sheriff to uwaic the ! action of the next grand jury, every officer ! in the room was seized, and firmly held j while the prisoners were jnic'Jy removed j to a wagon standing beneath a cross-piece j fixed between two tr-jvs xii'n ropes suspeu ! ded; the ropes were s&on adjusted round , their necks and ths wagon removed, no time being allowed for confession or re ! pentence. Judge Green protested against i the vi and attempted to cut them down tv.it was prevented. The vigilants about I four hundred strong then proceeded to the t jail, and breaking down the doors took I therefrom one Benj. Pane, held for trial for the murder of policeman Sires in October last and soon suspended him between the other two. After hanging about an hour, they were cut down, and a verdict of the coroner's jury found in aceordence with the facts, and the bodies burried; all in less than 24 hours after the shooting occurred. Death and Destruction. The destructive messenger has under peculiar circumstances twice within the last year la'.en off two of our own. Whether this is the result of an assassin or from natural causes we cannot deffinitely say. The first of these, young Thomas, suddenly died about a year ago without any previous warning to those who daily saw him. The second, young Tabj as suddenly and mysteriously as the other passed away on yesterday morning after a short attack of fits and convulsions. These two domestics were excellent mousers and particularly valuable to us for the whole- i some fear which their presence imparted to ! the rats and mice which theretofore came j in drove3 around our premises. If this affliction conies from mutual ! causes we meekly and humbly submit. But 1 if it is the result of human interference we j candidly and honestly believe that any per I son who would premeditatedly anil with j malice aforethought, poison a poor cat, the property of another, would do the same l ai ft . ., It :. t f,,,. tiling to uieii iciio uictLi u iw iiw. the wholesome fear they have for .the law.

' Improvement of ie Willamette ttlvcr. The Government snag boat Corvallis ar rived here Wednesday morning on her way to Harrisburg, where it is intended for her to commence to clean out the river and from thence work North. How far North it is intended for her to proceed, or whether she is to assist in removing the obstacles in the way of water craits below Portland, or whether her attentions to the Willamette river is the result of a portion of Mayor Thompson's efforts in Congress, we will not at this time attempt to explain, as our in formation does not extend that far. On last 1'riday evening, the 20th inst, at a convenient hour citizens of this couuty met at the Court house for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of adopting a suitable memorial to pressnt to Congress showing the importance and necessity of a liberal appropriation being granted by that body for the purpose of improving the Yaquina bay Harbor. Although the notice given was hut a few hours yet the meeting was vrCll attended and a grand success. Judge F. A, Chenoweth was chosen chair man, who brief!' stated the object of the meeting, and Zephin Job was elected Sec retary. Judge Burnett, then briefly address ed the meeting urging the importance of taking immediate steps for the purpose of showing to Congiess the actual necessity of an appropriation for not less than $200,- 000, which sum was rcccommended by the Oregon Legislature for the purpose in question. He said to ask less than this amount would be doing an actual injustice to the pcojjle of the Willamette valley and Eastern Oregon. He also cited numerous authorities from the several acts of Congress, showing conclusively that the policy of Congress had always been liberal in making appropriations for public improvements of this nature. Judge Kelsay then spoke in a yery forci ble manner claiming that as the legislature of our state had asked Congress to appropri ate the sum of 200,000 for the improve ment of the Yaquina bay harbor and as shown by the bill recently introduced in Congress that our representative had fallen below that amount we should take active measures in asking for the sum named by the legislature of our State. Dr. Bayley, B. W. Wilson and others made verry appropriate remarks on the questions under consideration, after which a memorial to Congress was read and on motion by Mr. M. Jacobs it was unanimous ly adopted. After its passage every one in the house signed it as rapidly as their names could be written with pen and ink. The following is a copy of the memorial as passed: Whereas, the Legislature of Oregon at the Session of 18S0 unanimously resolved to petition Congress for an appropriation of S20J;000 for improvement of the entrance to Yaquina Bay. And Whereas, subsequent events and especially the building of the Oregon Pa cific Railroad with its terminus at Yaquina Bay have still further demonstrated the urgent necessity of such appropriation. 2?ov be it Resolved. That this meeting cannot recognize the proposed appropriation of 60,000 mentioned in the bill introduced by Hon. M. C. George as adequate to pro vide for the early completion of the improve ment. That the Senators and Representative from Oregon be respectfully but earnestly invited to use their best endeavors in Con gress to procure the insertion of the sum of 8200,000, and no less in the appropriation bill in question. That a cony of these Resolutions be sent to the Senators and Representative, and that the Hon. M. C. George be especially requested to exert all the influence vested in him as a member of the Committej c.n Commerce to secure an end to which he has pledged himself, both publicly and privately on his canvass, and which formed one of the chief grounds for the confidence in him felt by the Willamette Valley and proved by his election.

Kenedy, noticed in our issue of last week deserves more than ordinary comment. Upon ex amination it will be observed that for ele gance of style, finish and workmanship in every particular it will compare favorably with any of the choice eastern manufactor ies. For durability it is no doubt superior. The wood work was ma le by Mr. L. L. Horning, and ironed by Messrs. Hillard & Hutton all of this place.

The Telegram's London cable says: Our correspondent at Ragusa sends a dispatch respecting the insurrection which has broken out against Austrian rule in Herzegovina. He says: Herzegovina has risen. The force of the insurrection bes in the district which was the scene of tha first uprising against the Turks in 1875. In3urgeut corps are form ing in the mountains. The warlike clan tif Zuebi. on the borders of Krivoscia, have burned their homesteads and joined the insurgents under a well known guerilla chief Vnlkalavich, and villagers on the Her- zegovinian frontier near Kagusa are follow ing their example. The rising seems to have been simultaneously planned, and is not without organization. The insurgents do not lack resources and are receiving about seven pence and a half pound of flour daily. The orthodox Mohammedan popu lation is fraternizing with the insurgents and the Mohammedan gendarmerie is de serting en masse. The national camps are naturally talcing them m witn rneir arms and accoutrements so thoughtfully dis tributed among them by the Austrians. Even in the Catholic districts of Pozonothe, the well known chief, Mussish, is reported to have made his appearance. On the whole the Mohammedan element prevails among the insurgents. A serious engagement was ioitgnt octween atsne anu Bileh, the result of which Austrians are endeavoring to conceal. It is reported they were repulsed.

Excitement is on the increase in Choctaw nation in regard to the bill passed by the council granting a right of way through their domain to the St. Louis and San Francisco railway. The Cherokees are also loudly protesting against the passage of the bill, and both urge a thorough investigation ty uongress Derore any steps are taken in the matter. The Tahlequah Advocate, organ of the Choctaws says that it is a downrisht swindle: and it is very patent to every reasonable being that it was a gigantic fraud perpetrated upon the more ignorant class of Choctaws by connivance ot tne more corrupt among them. as a "Commission on Indian civilization." and for a secretary and interpreter to the commission. The biU provides that the commission under the direction of the secretary of the interior shall yisit such tribes as the president may designate, and v uthorizes them, after obtaining information to enlighten their judgment and under standing in the premises, to enter into agreements with the Indians with their free consent, for the reduction of reservations in cases where the commission shall deem such reduction advisable. The commission is also authorized negotiate for the cession of entire reservations and removal of In dians to other reservations, and for surveys and sales of such reservations to be made by the government and moneys to be ex pended for the benefit of Indians on the resserves to which they may be removed. Provision is also made for allotment in severalty on their new reserves. The object of the bill, as explained by Secretary Kirkwood is eventually to make the Indians self-supporting, to give .them the title to their lauds in severalty and educate an i civilize them. Another feature of the bill is to provide by treaty for pay ing the Indians within a limited period after passage of the act, and after such sums shall become payable, the principal of all trust funds now held by the United States for Indians. Still another feature of the bill is the gradual reduction of the annual appropriation by congress tor sup port of Indians until in the near future, as the Indians become self-supporting, such appropriations shall eutirely cease. The bill, while aiming to bring Indians into a condition of self-support, carefully guards all their rights and interests and is m lull accord with recommendations in the secre tary's annual report and with the views of the president upon Indian affairs as ex pressed in his message to congress. Omaha, Jan. 23. Three cases of smallpox were discovered to-day at Slaven's hotel, a second-class house on Tenth street where there are one hundred boarders. Kalamazoo, Mich, Jan. 23.

Washington, Jan. 23. Willis of Ken tucky introduced a bill in the house to-day to regulate and limit Chinese immigration. Section one provides that the coining into or residence in the United States of Chinese laborers shall be unlawful and shall bs reg ulated and limited as herinafter provided. Section two provides that Chinese subjects whether coming to the United States as teachers, students, merchants or for curi osity, together with their body and house hold servants, and laborers resident in the United States on the 17th of November, 1880, shall be allowed to go and come of their own free will and accord, and shall be accorded all privileges, immunities and exemptions which are accorded to citizens or subjects of more favored nations. The circulation of the standard silver dollar for this week ending January 18,1882, was 99,!)7G, against 108,498 for the corres ponding period of 1381. New York, Jan. 23. Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, for 23 years missionary in Utah, Alaska and other parts of the northwest, preached last night in the Central Presby terian church on Mormonism. He said 25 years ago Mormonism, a little cloud, appear ed on the surface in Utah. It has increas ed until to-day it covers that whoie terri tory and holds the controlling power in Utah, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, and almost in the state of Colorado. Nearly one-third of the United States is occupied by 150,000 Mor mons who. spurred on by religious fanati cism, are determined soon to rebel and then fight to the death. We think that we make laws which govern territories, but oiHcials appointed in Utah by the president are mere figureheads. John Taylor is the governing power of Utah. Sitting in his office in Salt Lake City, by aid of the tele graph he can reach every one of his bishops, who can scatter his decrees to nearly the whole Mormon population in three hours. John Taylor says to Utah, to Arizona or to Idaho, send such a man as delegate to con gress, and the people dare not disobey him. In Colorado he even can almost dictate who shall not only be congressman, but also the two senators from that state. Washington, Jan. 23. The senate ju- liciar7 committee to-day agreed on a bill lesigned for the suppression of polygamy. Its main features are petitions, based on Edmunds' bill, doing away with the present requirements for proffs of polygamous mar riage, by providing that the fact of living on bigamous relations shall be sufficient ev idence tor conviction, and that in prosecu tion for bigamy any porson drawn as jury man may be challenged on the ground that he practices or believes in a polygamus religious right. Certain provisions were introduced by Senator Logan debarring all polygami3ts from the privileges ot voting, service on piry, or holding omce. Des Moins, Jan. 23.

Chicago, Jan. 24. Dr. Bootie, who died this afternoon, was a grand nephew of Daniel Boone, and was born in Kentucky while his parents were surrounded by Indi ans. He moved to Illinois in 1824 and served in" the Black Hawk war. Richmond, Jan. 24. Senate adjourned by a vote of 21 to 19 when Riddleberger presented the name of Brown Aliens re adjuster, for auditor, and there was great excitement. Four readjusters broke party lines and voted with the Democrats. that the practice of polygamy has for con' turies been justly branded with infamy by the criminal codes of every Christian conn-' try as degrading to women and destructive to the family: that it has in all ages been the parent of ignorance, weakness and un-" natural vice, and has wrought the ruin or every people which it has polluted; proving itself always everywhere the deadly enemy of virtue, civilization, good order and freo government, while' Mormon history, with its treasons and massacres, as well as its'" moral abominations, is' a disgrace to tho" American naime and the civilization of the nineteenth century. Its present conditions give no promise of improvement, but threat en rebellion and civil war in the near future, and tin's temporizing and conciliatory policy, beginning with the appointment of Brigham Youug as governor of Utah in 1850 by Fill more, and its contemptible failure admits" no further trifling. The time has come for vindication of the decency and majesty of the law.
