Cannon and Campbell in their contest for the seat in the next House of Representatives belonging to the delegate from Utah Territory, have been reversed by the action of Clerk Adams of the House. At the opening of the contest Campbell had the in- side track, and Cannon was the contestant. The governor of Utah gave a certificate ot election to Campbell. Cannon then procured from the U.S. court at Salt Lake a document giving the actual vote cast for each of the cau- didates. This showed that Cannon had re- ceived about 8,000 majority. Mr. Cannon fied this document as his certificate, and the clerk awarded him the seat by placing his name on the roll. Mr. Cannon has drawn his pay a3 a member of the next House since the 4'h of March last, and when the House meeis he will take his seat. This will compel Campoell io become the contestant and to carry ht3 cas: before the House itself, as nothing short of a Gecision of that body can oust Canuon. s claimed in behalf of Clerk Adams that he had Matin tn and able legal advice to support his eclsicn.

There has long been an effort to get a mint established at some point in the Mississippi valley.

Progress of the Investigation—How It is Carried On—Damaging Evi- dence Collected—The Government Will Take No Steps Backward. The case of the government prosecutfon against tbe star route ring will probatly not be laid before the grand jury for two or three ¥eeks yetto come. There is no brag nor blus- ter about the work of the governmeat. Not more than three or four persons know what tacts the prosecution have collected. Many tpecial agents have been engaged in collesting evidetce, but the operations of one agent have not been known to any of the others. Tre impression is daily gaining ground that the government has sufficient evidence in its pos- session bot only to cestroy the riag, but to land Its principal members and their sabordi- bates In the penitentiary. The contractors and the officia’s who have been discharged for cause are in very bad shape. They bave completely lost courage, and feel that they are ‘bting af unkoown enemy. The prosecution has been cond ties with much skill and secrecy, so that the men ders of the ring are absolutely In the dark as to the evidence which has been found against them, |The course of the contractors since the ‘4th of March has been on a rapidly descending late. They came to Washington in high feather after the Inauguration prepared to carry ma'ters their owr way. Brady was to remain in office until the end of the fiscal year when the accounts could all be straightened out, and “Clint.” Wheeler, of New York, would then se) 1n1o Brady’s shoes, although Wheeler was worse than penniless, owing everybody from whom he could borrow a respectable sum of money. He was bondsman on over half a militon doi- lars’ worth of Dorsey's routes. The President, it was assumed, Could be relied upon to stand by the ring, because he had written a letter to day Hubbell prior to the election saying that subscriptions to the campaign fund fron Brady's office would be gladly received. The selection.of Wayne McVeagh to be Attorney General was something of a disappointment to the ripg. but they thought that with a service. able solicitor general Mr. McVeagh would not give them much trouble. It 1s not surprising that they should be dis- mayed to see the roses Of anticipation turn to ashes even before the perfume reacned thelr nostrils, The President could not be con trolled. Brady was suddenly tossed out of the department, Wheeler, after lounging abont Washington for several weeks, was dismayed to find an unknown man from New York state, with @ clean record and admirable business qualifications, step into Brady’s place, and cthers left their positions with remarkable haste. The Attorney General managed the Department of Justice to suit himself and took a -lively interest in discovering th® precise nature of the operations of the riag. Bulld ing, Unreatening and blustering avalied not ing. Every possible influence that could be brought tO bear upon the President: was ex- erled to stop the investigation, but to no pu pose. Gen. Garfield is cetermined to asc vain the truth of the accusations made agatus' the ring, aud if its members are found gutity they will receive no greater considération at bis hands than any common criminal wh) mere be convicted of swindilng the govern- ment. Status of she Signal Corp. A QUESTION FOR THR ATTORNEY GENERAL TO DECIDE. The Attorney General now has before him & question, the decision of which wili detin- the status Of the Signal corps. That corps proper consists of the chief and four 2d lt-ut- enants. Gen. Myer, before his death, procured the passage of a law providing that two ser- geants In the corps should be made 24 leuten- ants each year. The law does not, however, Say thal two sergeants shall be appointed 20 Neutenants in the Signal corps. It is neld by some Unat these appointments should be made whenever there 1s @ vacancy, and should be confined to the Signal corps. The object of the law was certaluly to bulld upa sigaal corps by the appointment of sergeants as 24 lenten- ants. Whether that shali be the case or the appointments made anywhere that there is a rt seed is what the Attorney General ist» lecide. Munning’ the General Post Office on Business Principles. MAKING IT SELF-SUSTAINING, The estimated receipts of the Pest Oi'e department for the fiscal year 1ss1-2 are $59,575,789.45, Third Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Hazen says this is based on a les3 averaye Increase than the per centage of increase for iss0-1, The returns from a}l the large ovte:s for the last quarter of the present scat year show a much larger per centage of increase than the department anticipated. The returns from the interior oftices also show large gains. and one of the most hopeful signs is the heavy increase of revenues in the southern states. The estimate of $39,575,759.45 for tne com} fiscal year will, no doubt, be largely exczed+a. ‘The amount authorized by Congress to be expended for the coming fiscal year by the Post OMice department 1s $10,955,432. To bring the department upon a business basis therefore requires that the recelpts be brought to these figures, or the expenditures cut down to the estimated receipts. It will only require a saving of $1,376,642.55 to bring the expenditures to an equality’ with the esiimated receipts. This, Postmaster General James says, will not be a difficult task. The annual savings already by the lopping off of useless star and steamboat service aggregates, to this date, $1,000,000. This Saving has been accomplished without inter- tering, in the slightest cegree, with the needs of the sections in which the redaction nis been made. There will be a savivg for the coming N+cal year in the third ass's’ ‘som ¢ on contracts already made of more tian $100,000, The work of reformiag the star route extrava- gancles has scarcely begun, and those in charge say that at least $1,590,000 a year can be saved, which, if realized, will enable the Post Ofice department to pay its own way, andtura in a revenue to the government. The savings of tue rst ten days of this month in star route ser- vice aggregate aver $200,000. The Home of Washington. CLOSE OF THE COUNCIL OF REGENTS—FiNAL SCENES AND INCIDENTS. Before taking the steamer to leave Mount Vernon on Saturday evening, the ladles of the council of regents and vice regents made a farewell visit to Washington’s tomb, a3 it 13 their custom to do the last thing before de parting each year. They each aod all ex- resecd themselves a8 delighted with the cos— ition of the estate, and before the council broke up resolutions commending is the high- est terms the superintendent, Col. Hollings- worth, were unanimously passed. Capt. Blaie, of the Corcoran, also came in for his share of cordial approbation. On Saturday morning the ladies the Ayrshire cattle belonging mame te, and were gratified by their coa- ion. A resolution passed the council to purchase a new fire-engine, and also one appoint Frank Wayiand gardener, on the tion of Mr. Saul, be florist, of this city. Last year Mrs. Barry, vice regent of Illinois, obtained consent to restore the old deer park, and as she has not yet raised funds enough the Ume for so doing was extended.
