Har- ris, J. L. Morphiis, George C, W. McKee, and Le- grand W. Pierce, members eleet from Mississippt, appeared and took the oath of of office. Mr. Fitcm (Rep., Nev.) spoke in opposition to Mr, CuLuom's bill for the prevention and punishment of polyga- my. He admitted the probability of the destruction of polygamy by the enforcement of the bill, and that would be ® laudable and wite purpose, If such destruction were all that were involved, it would be his duty to advocate the measure instead of oppo- sing it, but knowing something more of the peculiar character and motives of the people i habiting that country, he was tmpelled to submit that (his Dill, if enforced ae a law, would provoki consequences most prolific of misfortune, and ental results altogether unprecedented. In these results might be Included, first, the temporary obstruction, if not the complete destruction of the great overlan railroad ; next Utah would be returned to the deso- lateness which had once ned ipreme aj her soil. Again, the growing Industries of the vast country would be checked, and the the Pacific Coast seriously retarded, th this thousands of brave men would be lain, and millions of treasure expended.

Ho was to all appearances ealm and rationsl, but there was that in his countenance which bespoke the illiterate, and the brute, His fuce was rather flushed, but other than this there was nothing that could be remarked different Gom the first day of the trial. His answers to questions propounded by Tun Sun reporter were vague in regard to the commis- sion of the deed, but clear and explicit upon after events, There appeared to be LITTLE SYMPATHY, for the miserable man in court-room, He sat immediately in the rear of his Counsel, Mr. Howe, stolid, Indifferent, and apparently unconscious of the fact he had come there to have the extreme sentence of the law passed upon him. He was shackled to Mead, the murderer of his mother. Tas guar ‘were all present in thelr seats, and looked upon the Prisoner with evident symptoms of pity. Whil was being sentenced to death, one of the jurors pencilled a very striking likeness of the murderer, DECLARATION OF WAR, and won!d prepare with all the fury and earnestness and geal of fanatice to enter upon & contest most bitter, protracted, and bloody, ‘The result of such 9 contest 10 man could doubt, ‘The Mormons would be exterminated or driven out of Utah.

Innos went to his friend J, Hampden Perrin, a real estate agent, and Richard Rowland, a lawyer at 287 Court street, who agreed ‘to prepare and execute a Hen, in the shape bond ‘and mortgage upon the property. Perrin drew it out as having been executed in 1867 and Rowland, for $25, acknowledged it asa notary public. The fictitious mortgagee was own vox, ‘and the mortgage professed $5,000 had been paid by him to Mr. and Mrs. Labiton, After this Lehiton began to fear that Fox would not be able to estab- lish the validity of the mortgage in court, 80 he paid Rowland $250 to get an assignment from Fox to one ‘HE. Merrick, Rowland did this, and Merrick re- caived $95 on account for hol the mortange in trast. The $500 paid to Rowland was delivered by one Noble, and Kingston Innes eventoally received $250 of the amount for his labors on the whole job. ‘This Noble was present during the assignment, as- sisted in the transaction and knew all about it, THE SPURIOUS MORTOAG ‘was duly recorded in the Register's Office, and the result was that when the action against the property seized was tried In Court, only that part of it consist- ing of the right, title, and interest of Mrs. Lahiton ‘was condemned. Everything run along smoothly until a short time ago, when the authorities discov- ered the frand, Innes, who was formerly «clerk in the United States Commissioner's Office in Brook- lyn, began to be alarmed, and after running abouts great deal finally turned informer and made an afi- davit before Commissioner Shields, detailing the facts above stated. Then Labiton felt uncasy and made A CLEAN BREAST OF IT before Commissioner Newton. of Brooklyn. Row- land and the rest of the gang were thus caught ins Light place, and upon application of Assistant Dis- trict-Attorney Parris, warrants were granted for their arrest.
