THE Virginia readjuators who have organized - ganized a political party with repudiation as the loading plunk and officeholding as the final mid have received n black eye in the decision of Judge Bond , of the United States circuit court , whicht effect. unlly disposes of the recent readjuster legislation in regard to the coupons for the state bonds. The legislature of Vir ginia had passed a law declaring these i conpoua , when presented to the tax col. doctors , legal tenders for all debts duo the state. But the readjuster legislature subsequently passed an obstructive er- actmomt , by virtue of which collectors ware not required to receive the coupons until certain legal formalities to test their genuineness were complied with. After refusing the coupons the official s i could levy upon the ProPorsY of the hold ers for taxes duo the state. The supren ° court decided that it could not interfere with the manner in which the state pays its debts. Judge Bond , in interpreting this do. ciaion , holds that a tender of coupons fo r taxes is a Irgal tender , just as any other legal tender , for debts , That point established , it follows that the tax colloc- t' m ' tors must accept the coupons for deb duo the state of Virginia without hag glino. Yf the officials of Virginia levy neon the property of a creditor afto r teuderof the coupons tl.oy will be re strained from proceeding further by in i junction. The effect of the decision ms t o restore to the couponstho validity origin ally given them by the legislature 0 f Virginia , An appeal will be taken to the supreme court , but if Judge Bond's decision i s sustained , as it probably will be , the Ro adjustor party without readjustment will be like Hamlet with Handel loft out , and Mr. William Mahono will be force d to seek other fields of political entor. priso.

TIIA' STATE FAIR . The Nebraska state fair opened yestor' day under more fayorablo auspices than any of its predecessors. The line of'ex hibih In the various departments Is larger , the facilities for their exhibition greater , and the various details of the management have been arranged on a more satisfactory basis than ever before. Those who attend , and their number will be thousands , will have an opportunity of seeing and learning in person the capacity of our state as an agricultural territory , the wealth of its soil , and the variety of its productions. The displays from the harvest fields and orchards , from the garden and the dairy , from the stock yards and the apiary , give the lie to the chronic croakers who periodically vent their views on the superior advantages - tages in the agricultural line possessed by other states and the uncertainty of Nebraska harvests. While other states nro complaining of a deficiency in small grain , of injury to the corn crop and the scanty yield of their orchards , Iebraska boasts of the largest harvest std the prospect of the most bountiful corn crop in her history. Our farmers are well satisfied and a all o ur other interests hinge largely on those of our farmers our people generally have no reason for complaint. Oinnha , herself , takcsam especial degrco of gratification in the present fair. Its predecessors have proved that the nie tropolis of the slate is the only place whore a satisfactory oxhibitioi and a paying - ing attendance can be attracted , Her merchants have contributed in times past largely towards the forwarding of the enterprise and the line grounds and buildings and the exhibits of local industries - tries are largely the results of their efforts. This year the city welcomes the visitors to the state fair with some pride. Since last year Omaha has made rapid strides towards assuming time position of a well built and haidsomo metropolis worthy of state whoso trade she commands. Public improvementa have been begun and prosecuted with a vigor which both shows results in the present and bespeaks still greater ones in the immediate future. To the crowd of citizens from the statoamd elsewhere who will visit us during the week the city offers ample and ozcellont hotel accommodations - modations , which have boon extended and perfected since the last fair. There will be no grounds for complaint on this scoreand all Nebraska farmers with theme sisters , and cosains , and aunts , may safe. ly venture to Omaha , assured of finding a welcome , aim interesting and instructive exhibition , and tam boat of lodging and acoomnodationa , TIII ? NO1iT11ERN PACIFIC : The last spike wasdriven on the North , ern Pacific line on Saturday , mind the now transcontinental route was opened to traflie from the coast to the lakes , with demonstrations worthy of the event. The completion of the road aigmializos the comm. summation of a great inanciering scheme which has boar carried through by tire less energy and dauntless pluck , Time panic of 1873 seemed to be time death blow of time road. Time projector , Jay Cooke , failed for millions , and hie downfall - fall carried grief to 11,000 bondholders in American homes. Mr. Cooke raised $25,000,000 by time Sale of his bonds. After nearly ton years his successors have raised and expanded $40,000,000 addi tional. Failure has boon converted into success , and time completed line stands as a monument to business sagacity aid public cmmidence iu time wealth-earning capacity of the country througlm which i t passes.

The credit company , time Oregon and Transcontinental , paid last year 4 } per cent. on its capital. Time capitalization of time Northern Pacific - cific railroad is about $35,000 per mile in stock ; debt by general mortgage , $25,000 per mile with a reserve to take up time divisional mortgages on the divisions covered by them ; the total therefore is about $60,000 per mile agaimmet $110,000 , on time Union Pnciicand$120,000 , on the Central I'acific. The main line and branches owned by time cmnpauy amount to 2,600 mimics.

The interests of great capital. lath are , however , so manifestly iii time di- rectiom of harmony , rather than of coma- petition , that we are not likely to ace any open warfare between the old mid time new routes to the Pacific coast- Each will look nioro and more to its own local population far prosperity , amid all there will find their real conpotition in the Suez canal , time sailing vessels of time great occana , amid ultimately , perhaps , time Panama canal. It is rather oxtmoldi- nary timat time Northern Pacific preferred stack was quoted before time road was opened at 88 , while the Central Pacific was at 71 amid time Union Pacific at 02. Time Nortimorn Pacific must find its profit in time population and time wise develop. meat of all time immaterial interests of time great eoction which it opens and binds to time rest of the Union-not in a narrow , selfish or grasping policy , but in a broad , ibend and paternal one.

So far as we can leant the damage , if any , line been trifling , A few weeks more of warm weather will assure to our fanners time heaviest crop on re , cord. Much of our corn is too far advanced - vanced to be seriously injured by frosts. Thisis one of the advantages of a Nebraska braska clinmate. , PDItSONALITIES.

Editorial Correspondence of Tim BEE. FORT fouINaoN , Nob. , Sept. 0 , 1888. -Time Pacific Express retc'tes Sidney at 250 ; in time morning. The Deadwood stage loaves at 8 o'clock , an timeto is a gap of five hours to be filled as boat it can , I tried to occupy my than in bed at the Itailroad hotel , but time breaking down } of that necessary article of furniture - ture , drove me to the office whore I sat until time breaking of daylight , wntclming time thin line of stores and houses which front tine railroad track , as tlmoy'alorly carne out of the gloom and gat'o time first indieatiot of the oxistenro of the town of Sidney. SIUNEY can scarcely be said to be booming , but silo is holdmm r her own firmly mid shows no signs of decline. Time o of time Pierre route to Deadwood was aserious aid almost fatal blow to the business of freighting to the hills , frmn whiclt the town has slowly rallied ; but tlmo cattle in. terests to time north aid west have increased - creased rapidly mumd time local trade is being maintained with much nioro firm , 11 ° 85 than might have boon expected. .hest now Sidney is feeling happy over the certainty of a revival of the Black hills freighting business. This is time cc- suit of dissatisfaction eu the part of Deadwood merchanta with the conduct of time freighters fromn Ft. Pierre and time Northwestern road. Within time past few weeks , a largo number of time leading merchants of Inalmid City mid Deadwood have signed an agreement to have their brought U way of the Union PAcific - conditional u on securing favorable - able rates which have been assured them by the railroad company and time freight- era. At present the largest portion of time freight outward bound from Sidniey conies to this point , Fort Robinson , G. H. Jewett being the contractor , but a considerable amount of local freighting is douo to points between the railroad and Running Water , for the supply of time ranchos. So these who have been calcu hating on the furtimer decline of Sidney trust revise their estimates. Fort Sidney is now time headquarters of time Fourteenthm infantry , recently cc- moved to this department from White river. The Fifth cavalry , which was its predecessor in time garrison , hmas taken its head uarters at McKinne one of its companies , Capt. PaYno'sr coming to this post , wlmero it is now in camp waiting time construction of its now quarters. The Fifth was always a favorite with time Sidney - ney people , as it is throunut ] the department - partment , Fort Sidney is one of the posts recommended to be retained as a permanent garrison by Generals Slier- man and Sheridan , and if a generous congress does its duty we may look within - in the next few ears for time construction - tion of neat and durable officers' and aol- diem' quarters. It was nearly J o'clock when the Dead. wood stage of time Wyoming stage con- pany drew up in front of the atatiom to receive its cargo. Sixteen hundred poundh of : rut was loaded behind and strapped on top and by time time the pas- son gars imad boon packed inside and stowed on the boothere was so little space to spare that several hundred pounds of express matter and some bag- gage was necessarily left behind for lack of room. Time corn any is doing a tine business amd too coaches and stock of time line are of time host. Sixtoom coaches , 160 horses and 90 employoa form time equipment of the line , which , under the superintendence of Mr. Thos , W. Furlong , is ono of time best conducted in the west , lauding its mass ° ngers in Deadwood 50 hours from Sidno and JO hours from Chicago or several hours shorter than time Piero line , Time natural result of the decreased time line bemt an increased pasonor and express traflic , which at present is test. immg to time utmost time capacity of time eonpany , Coach loads of eight or flume passengers are coping into Sidney daily , while time outgoing coaches are hardly less heavil filled. We leave Sidney to the right and the mules strike a brik trot as we wind to- wards the west and take time road overtime buttes wlmiclm skirt time town to the north.

Further north and west , along Hat creek , at Buffalo - falo Gap and Buckhorn , time time cattle interests are larger and several wealthy English corporations are conducting - ing time business on a heavier scale. Time extension of the Sioux City & Pacificroad to this section of time country is one of the certainties of time near future , when shipments car be made without the long drive which is now necessary.
