The feature of to-day's pro ceedings in Congress was the great speech of General John A. Logan on the finances. It is by all odd3 the ablest of the session upon this absorb ing topic. Many leading memBers of the House, especially from the "West ern States, came over to hear him, while he received the attendance as well as the earnest attention of the Senate. He was interrupted and cate chised by Senators Schurz and Sher man, who sought to break the force o"f his arguments, but," he came out of these sharp intellectual encounters completely triumphant. When this great speech of 1874 is published and read in the "West, ,for which section nation were as determined and ener getic in having good roads along their farms as they are in fencing against some "mean cuss" unruly cattle, hovr long would our roads he in their pres ent disgraceful condition, and with not one dollar added to the burthen of taxation ? This is a subject I hope to see brought up in the Granges, and it may be, very properly, for the good of the Order. Regulating railroads and "sicli" is all right; go ahead; but as charity begins at home, and as every home has some sort of road to and from it, this seems a good subject for discussion in the Grange or Club, the parlor, kitchen, barn or field. Suppose each Grange should discuss this matter and agree upon, some plan of .operation best General Logan more especially spoke, the people will not only indorse his po- adapted to their localities, and then see sitions, but will rejoice that they have that it was carried out to the letter; IT2 Florence 3F1 Family Friend. to Jk -h 0' I.

MO. a Senator who is so able to appreciate and so ready and bold to defend their interests. The following statements in regard to the various arsenals oTthe country, and the possibility of retrenchment in connection with them, has been made by Secretary Relknap to the Military Committee: "The wants of the army and the country can be thoroughly met by the retention of the following arse nals, viz: Benecia Arsenal, for the Pa cific coast; San Antonio, Texas, for the Texas frontier; Augusta, Ga., for the South Atlantic and Gulf; Rock Island, 111., for the Mississippi Valley, and one crad arsenal for the Atlantic. Bene cia, Rock Island and Atlantic should be of such capacity for manufacture and storage as to suffice for the coun trj: in case of war. A bill was introduced to-day incor porating a submarine Cable Printing Telegraph Company, with power to lay and operate one or more Atlantic ca bles. The enterprise is founded upon new inventions, by which the speed of cable transmission is increased from fifteen to forty-five words per minute. The corporators include some of the wealthiest capitalists of Boston, rep resenting many millions of individual wealth. ! The company is to begin the laying of one cable within three years from the passage of the act. Xo govern ment aid is asked or desired. In accordance with the idea of the Patent Convention which recently closed its sessions in Washington, it is proposed to establish branch associa tions, with as little delay as possible, in each State or Territory, the Presi dent of which shall be Vice-President ex-olTicio of the National Association. An effort will be made to hold an In ternational Patent Congress in Phila delphia, at the time of the Centennial. the beneficial results would be simply astounding, and without one cent of increase of taxation, and if systemati cally followed up would lessen the ne cessity for as high a tax as is now lev ied. , The damage done to eur teams by dragging them over bad roads, and the wear and tear of harnesses and wagons, is five times more than all our road and bridge taxes. Then take into ac count the comfort to ourselves and families, and it is marvellous to see how indifferent we are to the import ance of this great subject. Roadstek. SCHOOL CHANGES!

That the roads in the Xorthwest are a disgrace to our boasted enterprise and civilization no one can deny. Our road laws are mere copies of those of Xew England fifty years ago. Public opinion is behind the spirit of the age upon this important subject, especially in the rural districts. Our road laws are bad enough even if prop erly executed, and our road officers are j generally elected because they are "clever fellows," and let the people off easily when they have the annual "turn out to work on the highways." An overseer of highways who insists upon every man doing his duty when working out his road taxes, is seldom iisked to serve a second term. The road law of Illinois, of four years ago, abolished the" system of hav ing from five to a dozen overseers in each township, and collected all road taxes in money, as all other taxes are and should bo. Before the system was fairly indurated, some blatant dema gogue in the general assembly had it replaced by the old law. The only reason given for going backwards up on so important a subject, was that as every farmer had a team, he could work out his road taxes cheaper than to pay in money. The fact i3 that the proper time to make roads is the very times of the year when the farmer has to ive his crops the closet attention. Most farmers, in regard to road-working, are like the Arkansas mau, who said he could not fix his leaky shanty when it rained, and when it stopped raining it did not want any fixing. Again, one good heavy team well trained, and handled by a man used to the work, can accomplish twice as much each day as the average farm team. The farming community have energy, industry, indomitable will, but in most cases their whole attention is given to matters within their farm gates. Thus they have bad roads, and too often di lapidated school houses and churches. Most road officers accept their trusts reluctantly, and generally are glad to be rid of their too often thankless ' tasks ; thus constantly bringing in un willing and inexperienced officers. -r The world always has and always will jog along in the beaten track ex cept when jostled out of the deep ruts by some innovator, who is tired of go ing to town over bad roads, when good ones are to be had at less expense, if the taxes are honestly expended and Hon. Robt. W. Furnas, Lincoln, Nebraska. , Dear Sir: In the issue of this date cf tho Omaha Rjyublie3n, I find pub lished in extenso the correspondence between Dr. Rankin, Jackson, Moffat and yourself as respects the recent li bel suit instituted against you by the Omaha Herald. I am impressed with the firm belief that the most gross injustice has been committed towards you and your pain stricken family for whom please ex press fo: me all the sympathy an ordi nary generous nature can send them. In my discussion at your place with Col. T. M, Marquette, in my closing speech of fifteen minutes, I made an attack upon you, especially with refer ence to what constituted the subject matter of the libel litigation. Speak ing for myself only, and actuated by what seems a solemn duty obligatory upon myself as a citizen of Nebraska, I desire to make this my public ac knowleig?m2nt of the irreparable wrong done you and your family. I am uite a3 confident that the Lib erals of Nebraska who were created for the purpose of exposing corruption in office, will with myself accord you full and complete vindication. Accept, sir, my apology in behalf of yourself as well as all the honest peo ple of our 3'oung State, who outside of party dictation will rejoice5 that an Executive has finally been acquitted of the foul "dishonor which apparently rested upon him. I especially request that, this com munication be handed to the Lincoln Journal, that my personal retraction may be made fullt 'tinjualifltd and compute. I am, sir, with much re spect, Your Obedient Servant, James "W. Davis. Oil An a, Jan, 6, 1873. If1 ft 7$ Jj ft. Zv jy he road"wor done-with energy and Judge Waite's Life and Services. Morrison R. Waite was born at Lynn, Conn., Nov. 2D. 1314. He graduated at Yale in 1837. He studied law with his father (Chief Justice of Connecticut, three years) for one year, and in 1833 moved to Maumee City Lucas County, Ohio, where he studied one year longer. When admitted to the bar, though young, he at once secured a large pract ice. He remained there until 1830, when he removed to Toledo, where he now resides. In 1849 and 1850 he was a member of the Ohio House of Rpres entatives, and when the Alabama dif ficulties were to be settled was appoint ed one of the United States counsel. At the election for delegates to the Chio Constitutional Convention lie was unanimously supported by both Demo crats and Republicans, and received almost every vote in Lucas County, and on the assembling of the conven tion wa3 elected President, by a party vote of course. He has always been known as a man of uncompromising integrity, so much so that many of the most difficult commercial cases that have arisen at Toledo have been settled by simple reference to him, his word receiving the sanction of law by both parties. - . The nomination of Mr. Waite has recalled the fact that he acted as one of the counsel at the Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration, and some of the Sena tors are acquainted with him as an able lawyer of thirty years standing, and although a Republican, not an active - partisan, and at the present time President of the Constitutional Convention. It was discovered on looking at the Supreme Court record that a year ago Mr. Waite was on motion of Caleb Cushing admitted to the bar of that court as an attorney. The attorney of , both parties speak well of the nomination, and there seerrn to bs no doubt of its confirmation- Prof. Ross, formerly Principal of the High School here, resigned his position on Monday last, for reasoris which will be more fully made known hereafter. The Common Council offered the po sition to Prof. Wise, and the Professor took a day 4,o think "on it." At a spe cial meeting of the Common Council on Tuesday evening. Prof. Wise de clined the honor of a position which we would all like to see him placed in, for the reason that he had already been elected to fill a high and important post by the people of this conuty, and he did not feel like giving that up for even the position of Principal of the High school at Plattsmouth. Mr. Starbird presented his creden tials to the Hon. Council, and his name is under advisement, at tho present writing. Meanwhile under the management of the able teachers .already there, and the supervision of the City Superin tendent, and our Hon. Mayor, our High School still lives and flourishes, not under the rose; but without the Ross. For the Herald. OUR MEETING AT THREE GROYES. Rro. J. Connoran. assisted by Bro.

Maogie Brinson. The Woman in the Case. Executive Mansion, Jan 14, 74. To the Senate of the U. S.: Since the nomination of Caleb Cush ing, of Virginia, to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, .information has reached me which in duces me to withdraw his nomination for the highest judicial office in the government. U. S. Grant. Neat and to the point. "Informa tion reached me" is a good phrase for a Presidential communication. How fortunate for the country that we have a progressive President who is willing to learn. "Information" never reaches your Democratic Bourbon until it is too late to do gnod..

Senator Hitchcock introduced a bill to the United States Senate on the 14th as follows: - To extend time for proof and pay ment on pre-emption claiitui upon the public lands. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem bled, that the time now allowed by law within which pre-emptora uponv public lands of the United States are compelled to make final proof and pay ment, is extended one year; provided that this extension shall not affect the rights of adverse claimants, or the status of pending suits; and that the provisions of this act shall apply to no one to whom relief has been afforded by a similar extension of time by any act of Congress.

Meanwhile, for one word said about Mn Williams, there are twenty said about Mrs. W. She faltered for the first time in her trial possibly for the first time itl her eventful life last Wednesday afternoon, and did not re ceive, which was a wise discretion for any further keeping up of appearances would have been merely empty brava do, and she is not the woman to inako such a mistake. If 6he had settled down into the rule of fashionable nonentity; if she had chosen to merge her individuality into the general insi pidity that flavors society, probably no one would -have said anything worse about her than is said of any woman over forty, with a fresh complexion and bright eyes. But Mrs. Williams, besides being good, is intelligent, inde pendent, and ambitious. She was uot willing to appear at parties and recep tions as a well-dressed image, who, for all the service her tongue did her, might be a mute. Very soon Mrs. Williams earned the reputation of be ing a good talker, not among the wo men they thought she was "loud" and "too fond of attention" but among the men, who gradually began to for sake the other parlors Wednesday af ternoons for Mrs. Williams'. There was dancing at Mrs. Cres well's, and style at Mrs. Fish's, and various at tractions at other places, but there was conversation at her house. She enter tained delightfully, especially the young people and the men. Perhaps she took less pains with her lady friends, or, what is more probable, they rejected her overtures; and little by little there crept over the faces of the "unco gudo" of tho first-class a prim disapprobation. Ladies whose domes tic relations were not always harmoni ous, said that A WOMAN WHO HAD REHN DIVORCED could not be "the thing;" old maids who had outlived even their tempta tions said they thought anybody who had been married three times must be horrid; and when the man of the fami ly hinted that if three weddings and one divorce would make a woman bright, he'd recommend others to try it, his fate was the fate that has al ways been awarded to men who speak rashly 1 Then the uufortunate business of the carriage that cost 81,600 came out. If, instead of crimson satin, it had. only been lined with gray, like some others that rolled side by side with hers last winter, it would have attracted less attention. The prejudice against her was ex treme, confined to her own sex chiefly, though more general among outer cir cles than her own immediate acquaint ances. Like all such sentiments, its foundation was never clearly defined, yet its influence could not be underrat ed, nor ignored by its object, though she has borne herself with brave dig nity. To say that Mr. "N illiams was disap Xiroved by the Senate because his wife was unpopular, would of course be ridiculous. His own misdemeanors and merits will b written down in history alone. But side by side with those tangible records is an unwritten legendarv annal that records all the ro mances too slight for dignified state ment, too interesting for oblivion, and there she will find a page. Nor will she be alone. There is a story of a beautiful foreigner who entangled di plomatic society not long ago, and an other about tho woman who broke up Jackson's Cabinet, whose histories shall be told when news is dull. And so all through the world and its nation women have wrought mischief, even unto the remotest ages whence looks out amid the dust of battle and glamor of legend the fair face of-Trojan Helen. S. M.

The news of the death of Charles Astor Bristed will be read with sor row by those who knew that clever and whimsical man. lie was variously accomplished, and he had an acccurate knowledge of many subjects, but his independence and waywardness, with a certain humorous cynicism, repelled general sympathy. He had, however, a sincere desire of friendly recognition, andaimed to be of service to the com rounity by interesting himself in many thing which others disdain. . He had lived much in Europe, and his stand ards of life and conduct were foreign, not American. In Washington, where for some years he had lived during the winter, his bouse was one of the most hospitable and brilliant, and his loss will be deeply felt. He wrote a great deal in magazines and newspapers, un der the signature of "Carl Benson," but his literary work will die with him. His familiar associates, who saw the good heart under the eccentric manner, and who knew the domestic content ment of his later years, will always re member him kindly as a man born to a fine fortune, but thwarted by tempera ment in satisfying his best aspirations.

Special Telegram to the Inlcr-Ocean. Washington. Jan. 21. Mr. Waite was confirmed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to-day, by a vote which was never equaled in its favorable! character within the memory of the oldest Senator. The nomination was discussed for about an hour, during which speeches were made by Mr.Sum- ner, Mr. Sherman, and Mr. Edmunds. ' The speech of Mr. Sumner is spoken of as one of the best and most impressive which be ever delivered in the Senate. While in no sense opposing the con firmation of Mr. Waite, he spoke with much feeling of the importance of the I office and the great responsibility of the Seriate. He iraid a high tribute to I the profession of l?fv and to some of I the great Judges and the lawyers of the past. Mr. Sherman spoke of Mr. Waile's high standing at home, and assured the Senate that there was not a man in the world who had the respect and sdini- ration of his neighbors to a greater de gree than he. Not a of suspi cion or reproach had ever been cast on him, and the Senator did not belive a man existed whose character was more spotless or whose sense of justico j and honor was more acute. lie an-1 wered many questions propounded by Senators from time to time with refer- ence to Mr. Waite and his character I and abilities. During the entire discussion not a word was said in opposition to tho nominee. The nomination was spoken of by all as creditable and worthy of conflrrrfation.- When the discussion was exhausted, a motion was made to take a vote and this was done, and an additional com pliment to Mr. Waite by yea;- and nays,' and the result was something, which ha3 rarely, if ever, occurred in the Sen ate, He received every vote cast.
