For the AdvertLwr. L
Mr. JJDrroR: imustasK: permis
sion to make a few remarks through
your columns on the report of the IS e-
braska txmierence of the AL. J.
Church. The third resolution of the
report on temperance, prepared by
Revs. A. IV. Adair and W. b. lilac
bum says, that a3 the order, of Good
Templar's has proved a success In re
claiming the Inebriate and checking
the progress or intemperance in many
places, it 13 our auty oy example ana
precept, to give this order our hearty
support. But here Rev. Dr. West
wood suceesta that the reference to
Good Templars be stricken out." We
would ask why so, Doctor? But his
reasons are at hand. - He understood
the Good Templar sociable were made
the occasion for dancing. We say
with all due respect, not so Doctor;
Show us a dancing Lodge of the I. O.
of G. T.. and they lose their charter
direct. .But we admit that some of
our members- dance, and we have
heard reports of our Methodist's taking
a step, though contrary to the rules of
our society, uut in inai case we aeai
with individuals. Who ever thought
of throwing the M. E. Church over
board in consequence of a member
breaking the rules? Who ever
thoucht of striking his name of fair
fame from his place on the records of
Evangelical churches? But we do
not ask our candidates if they are
dancers. Our motto 1st to get them
nledced to abstain from all intoxica
ting drinks and to use their influence
against the spread of the evils of in
temperance, and in this we have been
successful. Robbing the rummer of
his customers, getting them clothed
and in their minds, and sending them
up to the house of our God, telling
them there they will find one mightier
than we are who will teacn tnem tne
way of life and salvation, and if there
is a future, when they get there we
much fear that there is some part of
ministerial labor left undone. But
here we must leave "our respected
friend, the Dr.. and turn our attent ion
to the Rev. Mr. Maxfield. Sorry to
feel called unon to defend ourselves
from imputations that are alike uu
called for, unprovoked, unfounded
and unexpected, and Injurious to
Methodism. Mr. Maxfield states that
religion has suffered by it, the G. T.'a.
Has the gentleman any figures to
show to that effect? We would feel
insulted if any man should say he has
willfully or maliciously made a false
statement, as he is a minister of the
gospel and we believe a gooa man.
But we believe he is mistaken and has
but few to corroborate with htm in his
views. I cm almost 70 years old, near
ly 40 years a Methodist and 30 years
of them an, official member of. the
M. E. Church, but never heard such
an assertion before. Indeed, it is new
doctrine to me. ' I have grown old in
the temperance cause too, perhaps tne
oldest in the State. I was the third
signer of the first temperance pledge
that I ever new anything of. We had
never thought of a society, tnougn we
had proof before our" eyes every day of
the evils of intemperance, and thought
then, as we do now. that if anything
could be done to check the evil it
would be removing a barrier out of
the way of the spread of the gospel of
peace. But we only got 32 names to
our pledge the first year, and Mr. Max
flJd's broad and uncharitable asser
tion might have been approved of
then. But who will indorse it now ?
Thank God that the great and good
are united in condemning it, and we
sincerely wish that it had never Deen
placed on record. But we must try to
render it as harmless as possible by
showing that the Reverand gentleman
stands alone upon a platform of his
own getting up. Indeed, I think that
the rummers themselves would be
ashamed to acknowledge that they
own a single plank in it. I will here
introduce an extract from the Chris
tian Guardian, the organ of the Wes
ley an Methodist Church in Canada:
"The annual Bession of the Grand
Lodgeofthe Independendent Order
of Good Templars of Canada, was held
in London, beginning on Wednesday
the 10th inst. Abort 160 delegates
were present, representing the various
temperance societies located in vari
ous positions of the two provinces of
Ontario and Ouebec. Some idea of
the extent of the work under their ju
risdiction mey be obtained from the
fact that delegates were present from
the eastern townships of Quebec.
From Montreal, Ottawa and one hun
dred miles up the Valley above the
city. From different points along the
St. Lawrence Valley, and from the
shores of Lake Huron and Erie as well
as from nearly every city and town
along Ontario. The report of the G.
W. Secretary, Dr. Ferguson, of Ham
ilton, shows that 137 new Temples
were instituted during the past year,
and over 7,000 persons initiated into
the order. The total Membership in
Canada now numbers over 21,000.
The Independent Order of Good Tem
plars is the largest temperance orga
nization in the wold. Larger, we be
lieve, than all the otherslcombined. It
has on this continent over 5,000 lodges
and a membership of 550,000, and has.
during the past two years, increased
at the rate of over 10,000 per month.
The order now exists in every prov
ince in the dominion of Canada, in
Prince Edward's Island, in thirty-two
of the United States and has recently
been planted in 'Great Britain. Its
members claim that because of its
signs and grips, by which they are
able everywhere to recognize each
other, no other Temperance organiza
tion gives' to its members the same ad
vantage, for whenever they go over
the entire jurisdiction the same signs
and passwords will be -sufficient to
confer on them all the rights and ad
vantages of the order. We are glad
to be informed that the Canadian
branch of order is not at all discredit
able in spirit and enterprise in the
advancement of temperance, it is full
equal to other localities. During the
past three years the handsome sum of
$1,000 has each year been voted fiom
the funds for the employment of lec
turers, who are kept in every part of
the work, and this year the scm voted
has been increased to $1,500. Besides
the holding' of regular, meetings in
connection with the more than 400
temples, the local public meeting and
the many others held by the regularly
employed lecturers. Some. tens of
thousands of Temperance tracts have
been gratuitously distributed and oth
er temperance pulications introduced
by the agents.- A very n'cat little
temperance pap;r is published under
the auspices of the crder, by the Sec
retary, Dr. Ferguson, of Hamilton.
When so niuca energy i3 displayed
in so good a cause we cannot refrain
from wishing thoae engaged God speed
in their work of faith a-d labor of
love."
So much for good old Britishers
who are not afraid of Good Templars
injuring religion, but wish them a
hearty God speed in t heir work of faith
and labor of love.

Thf fnilnwinc anecdote of the late
Mr. Swain, from, the Philadelphia
i - A A 15
J.'res8, is not wunout its morai iu ti
er lattitudes than Pennsylvania :
Many years, age, Mr. Swain, then
editor of the Public Ledger was hailed
at the corner of Eighteenth and Chest
nut streets bv a verv excited individ
ual, who informed him in the most
emphatic terms, "I have stopped your
paper sir," and proceeded to explain
the why and wherefore, all the time
gesticulating wildly. "My . gracious,
sir, you don't say so. Come with me to
the office, and let us see if we cannot
remedy the matter, it, grieves me
thatanv one should stop my ' paper."
Down Chestnut street to Third the
two proceeded. Arriving at the office
Mr. Swain said, "Why, my dear sir,
everything seems to be going on here
as usual : I thought you had stopped
my paper." Then and there the ex
cited gentleman, whom the long walk,
by the way, had partly cooled, said
that he had stopped taking hi3 one
copy of the Ledger, Mr. Swain was
profuse in his apologies for having
misunderstood the meaningof his late
subscriber's words, and regretted that
he had given him the tramp from
Eighteenth street to 'lnird, down
Chestnut. The gentleman went on
his way home, a wiser if not a better
man, marvelling at the stupidity of
editors in general, and of Mr. Swain
in particular. Before he left, howev
er, he ordered that the Ledger be 'still
sent to his address.
Helena, Montana, April 28.
The most destructive fire that ever
visited Montana occurred in this city
thi3 morning. About two o'clock a
fire originated in Chi nesetown. corner
of Cutter and v est Main streets, burn
ing both sides of the latter to Bridge
street, crossing Bridge street and
sweeping down both sides of , Main
street, as well as both sides of Jackson
street and on the east side of Clark
street, a distance of three blocks. It
was arrested in that direction at the
fire-proof blocks occupied by Mans
field & Co. and Wirt and HaVs drug
store on the east, leaving in Its track
Kinir & Grmcth's block, and Hussev.
Dahler & Co.'s banking house alone
standing: from the foot of Bridge and
Wood streets every building on both
sides, and between these streets, was
consumed: as far up as Joliet street,
every fire-proof stood, except Klrtz-
ing's, on Wood street, which was de
stroyed ; it was tilled with very valu
able goods belonging to several par
ties, which .were a total Joss, ninety-
eight business houses and about forty
Envate houses were destroyed. The
ouseless inhabitants, with what is
eitof their household goods, cover
the hills overlooking the town, form
ing a pitable spectacle. Wells, Fargo
& Company and V estern Union Tele
graph omces are both burned. Loss
not less tnan nail a million.
The Washington corresDondont of
the Cincinnati Gazette tells tnis story
of what happened to a Seymourite in
Philadelphia.
I had a little laugh over an anair
that happened to a clever gentleman
here, pending the .late Presidential
contest. He was at ajjreat gathering
of Republicans, one night in Philadel
phia, with his little boy, an interest
in!? child named Sevmour. In the
great crowd of excited people the bojq
Was separated trom ins anxious pater-
nnL lie searened m vain, and at last
cried out In a voice of anguish :
t"Scvmoiir! Rpvnmnr! SVvmrmrf"
; Suddenly he was knocked down.
"I'll teach you to 'rah for Seymour in
this crowd!" roared his assailant.
"It's the name of my boy," said the
affectionate parent.
"Then you ought to-be kicked for
giving - him - such a . cussed i .mean
name,,r responded the heartless
wretch.
The Great Telescope at Chl
, cago. .
The University of Chicago possesses
one of the largest telescopes in the
world perhaps the largest.
The destined work of this wonder
ful telescorje is to make, in connection
with the nine, chief ... observatories of
Europe and America, an entirely new
catalogue of 250,000 stars, determining
the right ascension and declination of
each particular star ; so that by ob
serving its position, astronomers may,
in far off ages, be able to pronounce
authoritively on its motion, and to
declare in what direction it has pro
ceeded through the illimitable voids.
At this moment it is slowly and silent
ly performing its sublime work, and
furnishing those far on? astronomers
the data upon which to base their cal
culations respecting the mighty prob
lem, the direct motion of the jun
through space. When this 13 solved,
data will be abundant for locating the
position of the great central sun,
around which millions upon millions
of other suns, popularly denominated
stars, do in all probability revolve. The
great work being divided among the
ten principal observatories of the

Sherman's Clothes. .
Lieutenant General Sherman, as Is
now well known, is not the neatest of
mortals, and one day an intimate
friend, in the Army of the Tennessee,
asked him why he dressed so. I'll
tell you," said the General, '.'when I
was second Lieutenant, I was ordered
one day to Washington CityT and
went in all the glory of. a bran new
uniform. I was standing in front of
a hot-el; sunning myself, and quietly
smoking a cigar, when I became aware
that I had attracted the attention of a
number of small boys, who gathered
around in such numbers,- and with
such adiniriug countenances upturned
to mine, ths.t I could not but factice
them. As I did so, one of the boldest
of them Ppoke up in a loud vofcs and
asked, "Mister, where is' your ingine
goin1 to squirt?" General Sherman
has never been guilty of a completely
new uniform since; he buys his uni
forms In detachments, and wears them
out in instalments.

Grant's Felicity of Langmi-e,
He exhibits at time a rare felicity of
language. 2113 word3 generally come
slowly, but they are always to the
point, and when analyzed his speech
often proves eloquent. His despatch
es aooana m terse, eisrnlheant exnre3
slons, like the response to Buckner:
-2i o terms other than an uncondition
al and immediate surrender can be
accepted. I propose to move immedi
ately upon your works." "I propose
to ugin n out on this line n it takes
all summer," js historical. "Let us
have peace," uttered by the head of
or tne army, became the watchword
or a party, -ii w famous letter to An
drew Johnson on the removal of Sher
idan is alive with earnestness; and bis
remarks to President Lincoln, upon
receivinr command of thearmies,;area
model oi chaste and manly eloquence.
"Mr. President, I accept the commis
sion with gratitude for the high honor
conierred. with the aid or the noble
armies that have fought on so many
fields for our common country, it will
be my earnest endeavor not to disap
point, ysur expectations, l feel the
full weight of the responsibilities now
devoiviig on me; and I know If they
are mei it win oe due to those armies,
and a bore all, to the favor of that Prov
idence vhich Iead3 both nations and
men." : - -
. Take, again, the short speech he
made "nen ne received the nomina
tion for the Presidency : "I shall
have n policy of my own to enforce
against the will of the people;" a
sentiment iuuor wisdom and patriot
ism, aia at tne same time the sever
est possible rebuke of the President,
who strove so hard to force his policy
upon an unwilling people. At Gale
na, when hi3 election was announced,
he protlaimed: The responsibilities
of the position I feel, but accept them
without fear:" while In his inaugural
are opinions worthy to become max
ims of public and international law.
The truth is, that few men who call
themselves orators have made better
or more effective speeches than he
who has made so few, who never
speaks till he has something to 6ay,
but upon due occasions always has
something to say that is pertinent and
forcible. Atlantic MonUUy for May.
Kir. Boiler and the Alabama
Claims.
Washington, April 28. Mr. But
ler is getting his views upon the Ala
bama question, in opposition to those
of Mr. tsuainer Into shape. He holds
that so far as the recognition of the
behgerency of the rebels Is concerned,
our case is as grave against France
and Spain as against England. He
thinks that Mr. Sumner, by making
the ground work of his complaint,
sympathy with rebellion against the
constituted government, puts this
Government in a false position, as we
believe in the right of revolution if it
oaly be construed as evidence or her
ittent, we not stop todiscus3 whether
she was technically right or wrong in
her acknowledgment of beligerency,
or whether the olockade wa3 a justifi
cation of that acknowledgment or not.
If she took advantage of the technical
law to ini u re a friendlv DOWcT. and to
do unfriendly acts, for the purpose of
destroying that .friendly power and
destroying her commerce, it is just as
much an injury that requires repara
tion as though the same intent had
been done without such technical le
gal justification.
The fitting out of the Alabama, al
lowing her to escape, giving her shel
ter, and allowing the Shenandoah to
ro out became not incidents of her
lympathy with the rebellion, but her
own act in pursuance ot her designs to
destroy our commerce and cripple our
power. Then these acts are not inci
dents of a recognition of the rebellion,
es Mr. Sumner puts it, but are the
ery reasons which- no man in this
country doubts she had In view, and
which wa3 freely avowed in her par
liament, to overthrow a great rival
maratimQ power, of which she .was
jedous.' -
He says he reaches the same conclu
sion as Sumner, that there must be
atonement and reparation, but he re
gard3his jown position as disembar
rassing our just claims from the neces
sity of reversing our doctrine of sym
pathy with rebellion and insurrection.
As to. settling with England we can
wait ;lwe can easily find means when
ever she gets into a war to sweep her
commerce from the ocean, and substi
tute in its place our own. In the
meantime we hold her under perpetu
al bonds to keep the peace to the
amount of the Interest she has In com
merce and manufactures. s We thus
reduce her to a third rate power, be
cause all nations know that she dare
not be provoked into a war ; therefore
as long as she stands in her present
attitude with us she has no command
ing position in the politics of Europe.
The Virginia Conservative State
Convention to-day indicates such har

ported is that of the original native
Union men against the carpet bag el

efforts to get the Influence of the ad

probably fail, as the President seems

not take the test oath, so he cannot

Congress relieves him from hi3 disa

President desires to retain him and
will take the opinion of the Attorney

office without displacing Crowe. If
he can't do this, he is inclined to offer
the place to Dr. Bard of the Atlanta

The Union Pacific Ilallroad
Company.
A meeting of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company was held yester
day noon, in the office of Messra. Gid
den & Williams, No. 114 State street.
About twenty of the prominent stock
holders were present. Hon. Oakes
Ames presided, and Mr. F. Gardner
Dexter acted as Secretary.
Hon. James Brooks of New York,
one of the government directors cf the
company, addressed the meeting. He
spoke somewhat In detail of the early
efforts for begining the great enter
prise now so near completion ; the dif
ficulties revealed by the first survey,
and the hesitation of moneyed men to
invest their capital in the work. It
was, he said, a noteworthy fact that
but two of the original corporators
chartered by Congres3 in 1SG2, now
held on, and for a long time the whole
capital and energy invested in the
work came from two gentlemen, one
of the original corporators alluded to,
and another not an original corporator
in the city of New York. When these
gentlemen had expended their means :
acter seeking in vain for essential
help in New York, Albany, Philadel
phia and elsewhere, one of them came
to Boston, and was successful in se
curing at first only small investments.
Fortunately for the few men who had
invested in the road, their engineer
discovered other routes over and
through the Rocky Mountains less
frightful than the government engin
eers had marked out ; and the discov
ery of these routes alone saved the
company from bankruptcy, and all
concerned in it from ruin. There en
gineers found no more serious difficul
ties In passing or threading theliocky
Mountains, than they had in passing
the Alleghanies. When these discov
eries were made, capital freely flowed
in, and, alas I to say, envy and cupid
ity too, on the part of some, who had
let slip their opportunity to become
co-operators or stockholders.
in conclusion Mr. urooKs said
"Congress, in the charter of 1864,
asked only that the road be completed
In 1878, but it Is substantially comple
ted while I speak. Fourteen years'
work has been really done (since 1SG4)
In five years. The car that leaves
.Boston, a few days hence, can be lan
ded on one continuous track over 3000
miles off, on the shores of the Pacific.
The work, then,-and the excelence of
it too, considering the obstacles it has
surmounted, is the most wonderful
work of civilization, and, despite a
few unjust attacks at home, it chal
lenges the admiration of mankind."
The meeting was next addressed by
Rowland G. Hazard, of Rhode Island,
in explanation of the necessity for em-
loymg the agency or the credit Mo
iller, or contracting company. The
charter of the Union Pacific Company,
he said, required that the books be
kent oten for subscription t ill $100,000.-
000 of stock should be subscribed at
par. Under this It was Impossible to
get money to build the road. Capital
ists could not be found to take the
whole amount, and if they put inS20.-
000,000 then, if the enterprise proved
unsuccessful, -they might lose the
whole ; while if successful, other par
ties who had not participated in the
risk of loss could come in -as-subscri
bers to the remaining -$"$0,000,000 and
take four-fifths of the profit earned by
the capital and at the riak of the first
investors. . It was cecessary'.that the
chance of profit to the. builders should
be at least commensurate with the risk
incurred. To effect thi3 object the
Credit Mobiller, whose business it was
to furnish capital and take such risks,
and subsequently other capitalists
were introduced.; In view of the risks
it was impdrtantto the "contractors to
be protected from personal liability,
and hence thatthey.siiojild Jtiedincor
porated. It was asserted that they ob
tained an excessive premium for as
suming the labor arid -risk of construc
tion ; but this should be-estimated by
the then existing conditions; and the
chances of success, or ' faUirre'.' .'The
general belief then! was that the ex
pense of the Rocky Mountain section
of the work might be ruinous to-the
contractors. Further, any profit to
the builders must consist mainly of
stock in the road, and the opinion
then prevailed that the road would
not for the first ten years pay tne ex
penses of oneratincr it. That in the
estimation of the public the price paid
to the Credit Mobiher did not more
than compensate for the use of its cap
ital and tne risk incurred was evinced
by the factfthat the stock of this com-
any, when its sole uiterest was in tne
uilding of this road, was offered at
$60 for $100 cash actually paid in, and
without finding buyers at that.
Those who took what were thus deem
ed extraordinary ri3k3 of failure were
upon commercial principles entitled
to extra profits as a result of success.
It appeared, however, that though the
chances had turned most signally in
their favor, they got only about 12 or
15 per cent, profit on the amount of
business done, and some of the parties
interested, in view of the risks and
perplexities which they had been sub
jected, unhesitatingly declined to en
gage in other similar and quite as
promising enterprises.

A Shocking Case of Ilrutality.
We were informed last evening by
a gentleman of a ease of cruelty,
which can scarcely find a parelicl in
the nnnaJs of Omaha. He states that
while passing on Thirteenth street
near "the "Mahoney bridge," over
South creek, yesterday morning, his
attention was attracted" by the scream 3
of a child. He went to the house
from which they proceeded, ami met
there a man by the name of Hall. He
asked to see the chilJ, bat the fellow
Hall seemed disposed to put him oil
Our informant va, however, deter
mined to solve' the mystery; and
finally succeeded in effecting an en
trance and found in an old shed used
as a carpenter shop, a girl apparently
about thirteen years of ago, with her
hands manacled and chained to an
iron post which extended from the
floor to the ceiling. A lady living in
the neighborhood stated that the man
Hall had kept the child's hands ex
tended above I.er head the whole of
the previous morning. The man,
who appears to be an uncle cf the girl,
gave a.- a reason of his conduct, that
"she refused to cook for him," and
that he was frequently obliged to call
in her mother, whom the child would
fight; also, that he could prove her to
have been in a house of refuge.
It is said that this man has been
punishing the child for some month?,
whipping her so oftenthat it had no
effect upon her, and that he removed
her from the heart of the city in order
to prevent her cries from attracting
attention. The child charges Hail
with taking undue liberties with her
person. The case is now In the hands
of Judge Sahler, and if the charges
against Hall are true as stated, we
very much hope that the severest
Suni3hment known to the statutes of
'ebraska wili bo Inflicted upon the
perpetrators of such diabolical villainy.

The most important event in Wall
street was the visit of Secretary Bout
well and the foreshadowing of the
future policy of the Treasury Depart
ment. Mr. Boutwell gave audience to
a number of gentlemen in the Sub
Treasury, and in the afternoon visited
the stock exchange. He wa3 intro
duced to the members from the Presi
dent's rostrum r:nd received with
cheers, when he made a shortspech,
stating, In substance, that he should
faithfully collect the revenues due the
government and apply them to the
working expenses thereof, and the
surplus, if any, to the reduction of the
national debt; furthermore, he should
institute economy in the Department
and in all its operations it should be
open to the public gaze. He closed by
saying that he should endeavor to
minister the finances without embar
rassing the business of the country.
These remarks were well received
and had a buoyant effect generally,
especially on the government bonds
market, where the speech Wa3 inter
preted, a3 meaning putting in force
the long neglected sinking fund of

If Mr. Boutwell carries out the pol

To pet back to heme matters I want
to say a few word.s on tho expected
great changes In the world's travel.
The Pacific railways are to connect la

through this city. 'Already, I notice,
the Eastern railways have'thcir "Pa

Michigan Central has carried tcu mil
lion pasengers and never caused an
injury to one of them who remained In
his proper place. This road is equiped
with all the latest Improvements that
can assL-t to make traveling safe, easy
or pleasant. Its management haa
placed it without a peer n3 a passenger

will largely follow the" beaten path3.

The headquarters cf the military de

to see a man so far degrade himself as

trayed intoxication. Judgo of our
suprise at finding that person to be a
woman, one stiil young arid far from
being ill l'joking. Who she was, wo
did not inquire; but thought took us
back to the time, perhaps not distant,
when she had been the light ot sozxq
family circle, the pride of some hearth
stone. And let us, ero we drop tho
subject, address a word to the ladies.
Do net allow a ta'jte for stimulants to
grow upon you. Oneo engendered,
you may go down to the grave ere It Is
conquered. By stimulants, we donot
mean only the stronger kind.s, which
men often indulge in, but which are
sometimes styled "light wines" and
which are often the seeds which ripen
into a thirst only satisfied by intoxica
tion. Touch not the demon, for fear
of its gaining the mastery, and if,
when in the festive hour, the ruby,
sparkling juice is tendered to you, re
fuse e'en though you provoke the cen
sure of a friend. The anger of a fool hi
better stood than the loss of self-respect.

fully as big as tho one she had lost,
although not quite so old. In the bas
