On his learning that the"- strfet was rapidly rrccfilns downward from his domicile he dashed ofTa dispatch in which he asked the municipal powers that La to"stop the outrage " It was too late far stoppage, the act of otflclal incongruity having been consummated. The gentleman returned to Salt Lake, but whether his departure depar-ture from the Capital was on account ac-count of the Liberal" Couucll having hav-ing taken the Street from undtrbis feet, or because he had begun to see tho word failure in blazing letters projecting from his disfranchisement disfranchise-ment scheme, deponent eaith not. 15a tins as it may, he appeared before be-fore that body on Tuesday night and pleaded his cause in the plaintive plain-tive and U3t his usual bull-dozing tone.
