' As an indication of the general feeling since the Bel knap developments, it is only; neces sary to quote an incident, connected with this Very election,' "which has been r j recorded 'i by , a Washington writer. A Republican member of the -House, jvho was booked for a stumping tour of the State, remarked a few nights ago that he guessed he couldn't go; that he had found tlpon calculation' that Uie -should) arrive there "just in time to introduce this Belknap matter to the intelligent vo-4 ters in the back diatrlcts.and he "didn't feel equal to the' task." - ' i. No, nor is the Republican" 'party equal to the task. Wo look for a lively jDemocratio' majority, in ' favor ot Marcy, and a clear, good majority in the Legislature. It is n ecessary to show that the people "do not sy ra patliize wittTsuch corruption as ' his seized upon the Republican party.' ' ''. j ' :":'Mj: '(; f TOO A1VCII SWELL.

T?T i The famous iLmma Mine scandal, which has for several years vexed two Continents -and brought 'ineffable disgrace upon, the good -name and character of the1; 'American - people abroad, -was to-day given a new lease on the publio mind,. A short, thick set gentleman, with florid complexion,- scant, dark-colored hair, and" heavy,- closely trimmed, jet' black beard, appeared in ' Washington this morning, in obedience to a summons to appear before the House commit tee on Foreign Affairs. He is James. E. Lvon, one of the original owners of.the!Emraa'HiQeranda committee a startling: - story. ri.Th at j story comprehends -the betrayal of a client by his counsel, and that coun-! sel a United States Senator; the pros titution r of professional scientific OpinionV a gigantic scheme of stock jobbing corruption ; the bpen ! bribes of a ; United : States minister,? and: a national disgrace.. , The outline of James E. Lyon's story, told reverent ly upon a kissed Bible, and frankly as the statement of an honest man, is this: " " " ! Ho was formerly ,re$Tdentx)f Ra cine, Wis and has foryeaifs' been en gaged iri; Western, , mining 4 interests. He was the original owrier 'of the5 Only patent which the Emma Mining; Company had or haV 'Three years? before the Emma Mine; was .though of he had located and worked the old Monitor lode, which was later chris tened the Emma Mine. Squatters, during his absence, set up rival claims. A great .lawsuit resulted, in the course of which Lyon engkgedC ; William . M. , Stewart, late ,United States Senator from Nevadafi 'with many others. The mine had grown .valuable. The pocket, or ."filled egg ,shell,w as hu called it, had yielded two million dollars of ore. sMr. Stewart came in to s i ve Mr.' Lyon'a righ t s, 'with contingfiit fee .ranging from 5 to 25 per cent, of the amount recov ered, according to the services ren dered. Mr. Stewart went to Nevada with Mr. Lyon, and there, as Mr. Ly on saidmet Senator .Oliver P. Mor ton. Utah then seems to have been in a condition of judicial anarchy. If. Mr. Lyon, is, to, bo believed, Chitf J ustfee wMcKean land Lhls'S associate justices were sitting in judgment on mining a8es, whiie holding stock and acting as directors ih one of thf cor porations litigant. 'Vhv- United States Marshal held stock likewise, and was certain to select jurors who held stock. This, condition of affairs was represented J to Senator Morton by Senator Stewart. The former said it was all wrong. Mr.' Stewart to kf Mr;Morton-that jf he would assist in sectrrihg the removal'of -Judge "Mc Kean, and in the case generally, he would give hira $20,000. Tp this Mr. Lyon says Senator Morton , agreed. He was going to Indianapolis, and wanted to be advised of progress. Senator Stewart did soon after tele graph to Morton to come to Salt Lake immediately, as the case-was Very im portant; and Lyon had been abused. Morton does not seem to have gone, and -Although ! great 1 influenced was brought to bear, Judge McKean was not then removed.. The Methodists were too much for" Senators andliti gants. Stewart wanted Lyon; tb igo to trial in Utah. He refused so long as the. Marshal, who " was interested with the opposite, party, could pack a jury. Ji,.J.tilsX'U. X . ' J'i ,-, Meanwhile, Mr- Lyon says, some Cajiform Jspecnldflors ! fought jbr $1,000 the shadowy claim of.some squattersPiiear the mine.' Upon this basis they made acompany- with $10, 000,000 .sck.: - Stewart urged Lyon tOf consolidate with this company, using as an argument the fact that there should be shares enough to ' supply- all the judges, jurors and witness es in Utah. Tbis Lyon rt fused to do; Trenor W. Park then, appeared as the holder of an interest averse to unfriendly. Stewart, said that Park wpuld ' steal the court "records, buy witnesses, bribe jurbis 'do' lirytfifii-g to carry his point! -Park said- that Stewart had bought judges and, ju ries. Lyon declined to-. enter into their personal differences. This en mity seems to" have been assumed, as Ste wart and Park soon worked jointly to induce Lyon ,tq compromise. In the course pfthese conferences Stew art1 proposed to manage n the sur veyor and the land officef All this vav?ini July, 18J). &Mlj$itnitf'e Park and Stewart.agreed that $2,000, 000 had been takeii from, the Emma Mine. Then Park organized his New York;: Emma Mine Company,'witU a capital pf $5,000,000.4 Park,te wart & Lyon were then agreed tbat vthe mine, so far as developed, was already about exhausted.. All the ore that was. in sight aitvm;ariy gone. It was - agreed between the? three that the, ore taken out should be called a $1,500,000 net, and that Lyon should have one-third; . $500,000 for bis claim.- To-day finds . him : still in search of that claim. - 'Senator Stew art himself, in a letter to Lyon, dated August 5, 1871, speaks of the mine as a . worked out " mine, and says that it would be better to accept the compromise' thaii litigate for such a "Mne., In the; same letter Stewart speaks oCJiivioir: worked n'n t h min v r .. -.:r-rr : mi . wau iy e org that was t and lbeJWeA,f sending sent manner of sending it" ,e 1 '4 . e Tle: .

In this letter Gen. Schenck assigned no reason for his resignation "except his desire riot to give his political . enemies cause to criticise him. Mr. Park remarked to Lyon that he would have a better let ter than; that from Genu Schenck yet.' Subsequently, before , it . was sent to the -Emma Mining Couipany,,Lvoii saw Gen; SchenckV letter of resigns- 11011, wnitn was arierwrti panitsned. on the 12th of January. " After Lyoii had read n, Park said tliat the co'm mendai ion tf the mine "which it con tained was better than Gen. Schenck's name : as a director.- - Subsequently, when Gen.

He said that this stated mentis sent to the? United States. Lyon asked Park if he had sworn to it, and Park replied, laughing, that he had not, but he had certified to it and sent it tb Senator Stewart to cer tify to, and that he believed "it would dry up the Blair resolution." lhellmpressiorf made upon I mind was that this note had bee lust iaKen arter neanng ot the Ulair reso lntion - i .'.-...
