The members of this faction now here after a careful survey of the political field do not hesitate to say they coalesce with the Democrats, and will if possible make arr eo oS to act with the Republicans. This} Sant would practically make the whole Administration Republic: an, for the Democratic majority in the Senate will be too small t be effective against old Republican war horseslike Chandler, Carpenter, Edwards and others. THE FOOL-KILLER has been around again and succeeded in taking off quite a number of Republican politicians. This time he appeared in the shape of a bill to abrorate that section of the 1858 treaty with China, which allows the subjects of that country to immigrate to the United States without restraint. The bill, if it finally becomes a law, will prevent more than fifteen Chinamen coming in to the country at on time. All Republicans who voted for this measure committed political suicide; not because there are no evils connected with the influx of the Monolian race which should perhaps be corrected, but because of the manner by which this is sought to be accom. plished. Negotiations are now pending between the two governments which it is believed, but for this unfriendly legisiation, would have produced satisfactory results. As it is, all this must be stopped and the Chinese will adopt retaliatory measures, at least abrogate the rest of the treaty, and just ata time, unfortunately, when is ‘peginihe American manufacturer ning to drive out all competition in the Celestial markets. It is unpleasant to ascribe improper or persona motives to a majority of our national law-makers, but the fact was so apparent in the discussion of this subject as to be common talk, and was*alluded to several times in the debate. Senator Hamlin openly charged that no argument could prevent the passage of the bill. Others might have said as openly; what everybody knew to be the case, that Senator Blaine’s support of such a measure against the record . “of his -whole. lite because. he. hoped. to secure. the votes of the “Slope” States in the next National Republican Convention; and it is believed that all of the Republicans from the Pacific yielded to the Sand lot frenzy of the hour against their better judgment and convictions.

Mr. Hamlin entered his solemn protest against this kind of legislation that caters to your Denis Kearneys and lO your unnaturalized Englishman, characterizing ~ it as “a wild craze.’ The only speech on the merits of the casc was made by Stanley Matthews, who on this occasion wiped out a “mountain of prejudice” that has existed against him.

UTAH IN THE SENATE. A subject so serious as that of polygamy sometimes excites a little facetiourness; for instance, Senator Blaine the other ‘day, in i presenting g a petition to haye the law of 1862 enforced, said: Asitbe Senate is receiving morning business, I present the petition of Mrs. Alfred Eddy and 185 others, women of Niles, Michigan, praying for such legislation as will make effective the antipolygamy law of 1862. I do not know why the ladies of Niles, Miebigan, should have sent this to me; nor why they should be particularly excited on ihe anti-polygamous questions, as the hanorable Senator from that State has not erred in that direction. This sally was followed by aripple of laughter, which ran throughout the floor and galleries ; whereupon Senator Ferry promptly replied : {i suppose it is because they admire the Senator from Maine more than pee ao any citizen of ‘The ladies of Essex and Greenbush, Grand Traverse and Wexford counties, Michigan, ask for the same thing; also the women of Benzonia, Michigan; Middlebury, Vt.; Adams county, Neb.; Saratoga Springs, N.

Oney, well known in the mines of Alta and the Park, attempted suicide Monday morning about 10 o'clock by cutting his throat from ear to ear while at work in the Twenty-first ward. The only reason assigned for the rash deed is despondency. He was “dead broke,” out of employment and behind with his board bill. He. bor. rowed a pocket knife of the young man who was working kim, and retired to one corner of the lot where the coats were lying, as was supposed to ec some tobacco. Ina few moments young man looked up an daceavd Oney’s throat bleeding. Assistance was called and he was removed to the Sister’s Hospital, where Dr. Fowler dressed the wounds. The gash was commenced under the left ear, severing the large muscle of the neck, down over the jugular vein, across the wind pipe, up over the right jugular and nearly up to the other ear. Neither of the Jarge arteries was severed, and the man will probably recover. TRIBUNE: XLY. CONGRESS. eee SENATE.
