The Director of the Mint has made n report recommending Indianapolis nnd St. Louis as suitable places for es tablishing mints. Train men on the TJ. P. rail road say about fifty persons a day pass over the road who are on their way to the Black Hills. At St. Marys, Kansas, on the 5th, T. H. Palmer, a young lawyer, shot nnd killed a saloon keeper named Jno Prior. Palmer is the boii of L. It. Palmer, an Indian Agent. Gen. Jas. Packard, of Tnd., has been appointed Internal Revenue Agent; and Gen. Renb. Williams has received the appointment of Deputy Second Comptroller of the Treasury. D. J. O'Connor, chief clerk In the Teighfc agents office of the K. C. & 8t. Joe. and C.

Tho Ijondon Gazette publishes a notification to the Masters of British war vessels, warning them to keep away from the Spanish Coast of Bar bodi, as the Carlisfs have batteries stationed at intervals all along the shore, and fire at anything that approaches. AtNorthVernon,Ind.,ontheniEht of the 4th, Ike Collins and Mike Weisenberger escaped from tho jail by climbing through a ten-inch hole, going through the jury room and making a rope of strips of bedclothes and lowering themselves down to the ground. Gov. Hays,of Ohio, has chosen the following gentlemen to constitute his personal staff: A. T. Wikoff, of Co lumbus, to be adjutant general ; C. W. Carr, of Cincinnati, assistant ad jutant general ; Alfred E. Lee, of Co lumbus, private secretary; Rodney Fobs, of Columbus, executive clerk; A. T. Prlrasmade, of Cleveland, and Ii. C. Weir, of Cincinnati, aides-de-camp. Congress having adjourned for the holidays gathered again on the 6th. A special to the Inter-Ocean says Morrison, of Illinois, took his posi tion as leader and proved a failure. He tried his wings for the first time, and soared nil over the President's message, apportioning to each stand ing committee its proper share of tho business. Bonks and others saved him. He had mixed the subjects badly, giving the Judiciary Commit tee the business of the Foreign Af fairs, and giving the Ways and Means control of banking and currency af fair. This raised a discussion, in which Wood, Cox, and others joined. The Republicans look the lend in the debate, and Garfield and Blaine wor ried Morrison and the Speaker so much that Wood was called to the chair, and Morrison was able to hold the floor only by the aid of the Speak er, who kept up a continual rapping with the gavel. It was evident that the Democrats have two very weak men to depend upon. The annual appointments of the common school revenue of Indiana, shows 687.738 school children enumer ated in the State ; amount collected In counties for disbureoment, $732,133.- 38; amount apportioned. $S49,140.68; halnnrA In frpnsurv.

The attendance of persons who wish to make teaching a profession is increasing. The total number enroll ed during the three sessions of the last year was 485. This does not in clude pupils in training schools, who number 165. The total number en rolled in the normal school since Its organization 16 1,011, and of the num ber 70 percent, were children of farm ers, and 20 per cent, was from the other industrial clashes. GENERAL SEWS. At Manchester, near St. Louis, a colored girl named Anna Carter, a row days ago gave birth to a child. She killed it with an axe and buried It in an ash heap. When the girl was detected and arrested she oonfessed the crime, and said that as it was fatherless ond would have a hard time in this world, she thought best to kill it. The Roman Catholics of Dnbuque, Iowa, have openly declared war againBt the public snhools. At St. Patrick's Church, in that city, on Sunday 3d, the pastor gave notice from the pulpit that the sacraments of penance and the holy eucharist would be withheld from all parents who persisted in sending their chil dren to the obnoxious institutions. As he undoubtedly spoke by author ity of the Bishop, the Catholics of Dubuque, a majority of whom enjoy the benefits of the publio schools are greatly agitated. Congressman Fort, of Illinois, again the other day brought the Democratic members to the rack by the Introduc tion of hia resolution instructing of fers of the House to appoint Union instead of confederate soldiers to sub ordinate places In the House. The Democracy squirmed, and tried to Btavo off a vote but Fort gave no quarters but brought them to time, and compelled them to bIiow their hand, by an Immediate vote on the previous question. As the resolution was directly opposed to their politics and the policy they had already pur sued in tho appointment of officers of the House, they voted it down, and thereby go at once upon the record as favoring rebel in preference to Union soldiers. A drunken printer, named Joe Wilson, embloyed in the JScbraskian office, at North Platte, recently be came offended at the publisher and for revenge, after the office had been locked up for the night, broke oppn the door and knocked about all the forms and cases of type In the office into pi, and for the same he has been arrested and languishes in jail, await ing trial before the district court for damages, malicious mischief, or some other kind of malicious outrage. The State Agricultural Convention of Ohio met at Columbus on the 5th. Seven tj-foiir counties were represent ed. The subjects discussed were "Grasses and their Culture," "The Hog Cholera," "Undeni raining," and "Forestry " Resolutions were adopt ed urging Congress to grant a reason able subsiby to the Centenuial Ex position, asking the General Assem bly to furnish means for appointing a commission to investigate the hog cholera. The Seward .Reporter says, "An In diana soldier's colony has filed decla ratory statements In the North Platte land office for a large tract in town 16. range 23, on the middle Loupe, north of the western part of Dawson county. A practical engineer is now on the ground surveying the claims. The Regents of tho University at a late meeting at Lincoln drew lots to determine their respective terms of office, with the following results: Wm. Adair, six yeais; L. B. Fifield, six years ;J. W. Gannett, four years; S. B. Mobiey, two years; C. A. Holmes, two years. Senator Hitchcock haa introduced a bill to give the Ft. Kearney Military BeBervatlon in aid of the institutiou for the blind of the State. This is earnestly opposed by the western pa pers generally, who think Crouuse's hill, which we published last week, the right thing. Some of them have got ou their ear so much as to charge Mr. Hitchcock with dishonest mo tivesthat he Introduced such a bill for the purpose of courting the favors of Otoe for the next Senatorial con test. We do not believe any such thing of Mr. Hitchcock, but that he did it through tho best and most hu mane of motives. The Institution for the Blind of this State has to be taken caro of, and the appropriation of the sales of the Ft. Kearney Mili tary Reservation could not be put to a better use. In the Mississippi legislature which convened last week, the message of Gov. Ames is not well received. The Governor calls attention to the notor iou frauds that were perpetrated at the Iato election in that state, and to the Intimidation of the negroes which kept about 20.000 of them away from the polls. The Senate passed a reso lution to return the niesage to the Governor and inform him that they were ready to receive information on the condition of the government, and recommendations, but not to have a political campaign document. In the house a resolution was offer ed asking the Governor to give dates and places where violence and intim idation occurred during the election and where courts were suspended. The Governor can accommodate them if he deeniB it In his line of du ty to do so, for that the Democracy of Mississippi carried that State by the darkest hued and most damnable frauds and violence, there is no doubt vrith. candid men. Lancaster Lodge I. O. O. F. is one of the strongest organizations In the west. So says the local of the State Jour nal. It must be a mistake, for the grange organization, or that of sever al of the churches beats that lodge of O. F's clear out of sight. In the Senate on the 7th inst., Mr. Windorn presented a memorial of the Minnesota State Grange asking an appropriation for openiug a water channel by way of the Fox nd Wis consin rivers, to connect the Missis sippi river with the lakes.

Keleher, the owner of the "Central House," has gone into itand proposes to run it himself in first class style. Tecumseh has a fair prospect of having a steam mill soon. New Year's evening the friends of K. Tierney, the popular landlord of the "Sherman House," presented him with a gold-headed cane. The presentation speech was made by C.

On the same evening the ladies had a leap year dance in Bartol's Hall. A Helena itemizer says: "Can't tell whether farmers are finishing up fall plowing, or have commenced spring plowing, but it is evident that plows have been running the past week."

OUR NEYT YORK LETTER. The Helpless Poor The Carnival of Crime The Dillon Murder A 3Iillionairc in Trouble The Last Fraud. A special from Fort Sully states that a party of miners have formed a supply depot near Old St. Pierre, in the Missouri river, and are constant ly in communication with camps on the Black Hills. They claim to have found a new route, by which the hills are reached in 109 miles' travel, over and easy road. Their messenger made the trip in two days. The Omaha papers have a report that a man recently arrived in that city from the Black Hills, with some 25 pounds of gold which he panned out In the-ne.w gold regions. u The "Herndon House," Omaha, has been purchased by the U. P. railroad company for the purpose of making it geueral headquarters of the company. From Washington. President Grant is making every effort consistent with the principles of peace and amity between nations, to put a stop to warbetween Spnin and Cuba, which has been waged for the last seven years without accomplish ing any good results. But notwith standing the wise aud considerate course of the President, the Demo cratic press of the country make it the occasion lor abusing and lying about him. They declare he is try ing to provoke a war with Spain, but they have not a single word or act of his concerning the matter upon which to .-u.-itain themselves. The Democracy in this h in every other effort to make capital against the President, by his words or hi act.-, utterly fail, for there is no doubt that the American people generally en dorse the President for moving in the Cuba question, and if he succeeds in consummating freedom for Cuba it will be the most popular act of his ad ministration even if Spain should kick up a muss about it. The following we clip from a Wash ington letter in the Omaha Jiepubli can, written, we judge, by Muj. Caf frey : WOULD-BE REFORMERS. On the 5th inst. the Judges elect of the Supreme court, met at Lincoln, and as the constitution provides, pro ceeded to "draw cuts" for their res pective positions ou the bench. The constitution provides that after the first election of Supremo Judges un der it, the judges shall be classified by lot, so that one shall hold his office for two. one for four and one for six years, and that the one drawing the shortest term shall be the Chief Jus tice. Judge Lake drew the short term, Judge Gantt the next and Judge Maxwell picked out the long est straw and holds the six years' term. A great effort will be made by the democrats to cut down expenses so as to earn for themselves the reputation of reformers, but as yet they have not seized upon any tangible scheme save that of reducing the standing army of the country from 25,000 to 15.000. Why, twenty years ago, when our na tion numbered 23.000.00U the standing army numbered 13,000, and now with 45.000,000 oiils, and territories com pri.sin a greater urea than that of all the states, we have but 25,000. But the eighty-seven ex-confederate otll cer wio now occupy seats in con greh do not like to vote appropriations for federul soldiers, aud their feelings must be soothed. SECRETARY CHANDLER is proving a poor subject for democrat ic critisim. He won't get druuk to please his enemies, and as old dogs won't learn new tricks, he won't steal nor favor aid to others to make illegi timate grabs at the publio treasure. He doesn't like democrats any better than the democrats like him, and those of them he smelt out in his de partment he muted out at once, and while in the house of representatives the motto is "Put none butex-confed-eratps on guard," Chnndler's slogan is "Put none but Union men on guard," po that the same sauce Is t-erved in degree, if not in kind. IIENRY ATKINSON'. One of Chandler's favorite lieuten ants, io Comtiiitsioner Atkinson, is whom Nebrubkians beat know as Henry Atkinson. He is the same Hejiry here that he ever was at home, us eusy of approach and as accommo dating and gentlemanly when ap proached. The interests of maimed soldiers and bereaved widows of our country's defenders are safe lnv his hands. But Henry has made a host of enemies as well as friends since as suming the pnrtolio of his office, and I can t-careely blame his enemies for their hatred of him. Several of them are in a fair way to go to penitentiar ies through his direct influence. They had long been operating as leeches upon honest claimants, thus filling their pockets at the expense of the honest needy and the government. And he is trying to make more ene mies by discovering more thieves who have th lived at his bureau. In tho U. S. Senate Mr. Harvey in troduced a bill to provide for Investi gation as to habits of Reeky moun tain locusts, orso-called grasshoppers. Referred to committee on agriculture. It directs the commissioner of ncri- euiwire 10 appoint tnree commission- oor- Srs to makeinvestication a"-' . . report as to the best rr-tnod of preventinj? in cursions of said locusts into fertile states and territories. A bill has been introduced in con gress that all pensions on account of death, or wounds, or disease contract- eu in itje service einee Mareh bnau commence from the death or discharge. An amendment to the national con stitution has been introduced in the lower house of Congress, by Mr. Mc Crary, of Iowa, providing that all civ il officers of the government, with the exception of judges of .0 suited bta.es courts, neads of department and others whose , . ' wuijl's may oe tem- y in r.narucier. snail ho d onlco for the term of four years, and only subject to removal by the President for causes affecting trie incumbent's character, habits, or other qualifica tions, excepting religious and political opinions.

New York, Jan. 10, 1875. THE HELPLESS POOR. Vlgoioua efforts are made by the Benevolent Societies to provide for the helpless poor before the cold, which we are taught will strenghen as days begin to lengthen. Soup houses ars set up in different parts of the city, where a hot, nourishing meal Is given for about six cents ! and sev eral decent free lodging houses afford shelter for the homeless, deserving poor, leaving the station-houses to keep the professional tramps and beg gars. Two things are wanting to make the life of the poor In New York aud elsewhere anything but in tolerable wretchedness. The first is decent lodgings, and prpvisions at a low rate. It is true that rents aud ex penses in general are three times as high here as they are in London: a fact which weighs heavily on the rich. and is all but extinction to the poor. High rents force the price of eveiy- thing up to correspond, in order to pay them. Nor need any of your readers think this is a matter which does not concern them ; for the ten dencyof prices, of work and produce, in other towns, tends to that of the great centres. Servants measure their wages, aud merchants their gains by the prices in New York. There isn't a village where this is read, that peo do not charge a3 near the regular rates of the cities, as they dare. There is not a town in the states, that is not in terested, for 'ts own sake, in the con dition of thing? hove; because it must feel their influence sooner or later. The only comfort of hard times, is, that they must bring living dow!) for ricii and poor. The extortion of rents i charged in tenement houses i.s fright ful. It is a fact that the swarming, squalid tenements on filthy streets bring in more rent than up town dwellings. Not an attic closet, with half tho glass out of Ihe panes, grimy and decayed, but brings its four dol lars a month to the owner. And there will be forty rooms in a building, the decentest ones calling for ten dol lars to fifteen dollars a month ; this, in the poorest class of tenements. THE CARNIVAL OF CRIME. Is crime, like cholera, epidemic? It would seem so. One murder breeds another. The pistol, knife and blud geon have been very busy from the day before New Years till now, and the police reports show no abatement even yet. One frenzied man shoots his wife, cuts the throats of his four children, and then kills himself, which last murder was the only one that the world need be thankful for. The number of grog-shop homicides New Year's eve and the night follow ing was frightful. And what is sing ular, it keeps up steadily. But the most TERRIBLE MURDER on record was that at the Westminster Hotel, Saturday night. Romaine Dil lon, a wealthy and first-family bache lor of fifty, shot a gentleman named Dllleber in tho corridor of the hotel, after a tnomeut's altercation, the vic tim dying in a few hours. The sin gular thing about it ia that the parties had no quarrel indeed they scarcely knew each other. Dillon was offend ed with Dilliber for walking in the corridor understand, they were both boarders and had shown his dis pleasure all day. Meeting Dilliber that evening, he ordered him to get out of the corridor, which Dilliber re fused to do, whereupon Dillon drew his Derringer and shot him. Now the facts come out. It appears that Dillon has been insano for years that when he was boarding at the Brevoort House he was in the habit of quarrel ing with the boarders on the moat absurd pretexts, which created such a fear of him that the managers were compelled to get rid of him. He showed murderous propensities then, but never a word was said about it and went to the Westminster. Since he has killed a man the proprietor states that this lunatic has been for a year in the habit of ordering people away from the house; that if any one walked in the corrider in front of hjs room he would peremptorily order him away, and if he declined to obey, he would shoot at him as coolly as though he were a dog. But never a word of all this was said to any one by the proprietor. The Dillon family profoundly grieved that poor Dilli ber was killed, but they were always afraid that something of the sort would happen. They always knew that poor Romaine was crazy, and they kept away from him, but they never said anything about it for the subject was painful to them. Of course, Dillon will be put in an asylum, but had I the making of the laws, I should provide for the punishment of several otherpartfp The nroUrietors medicine, "Dr" Walker has amassed a large fortune, for his bitters tasted so badly that people supposed there must be virtue in them. But Dr. Walker's love for Mrs Walker did not increase as rapidly as his lucre. In fact he got todespitefully using her, so she claims. He refused to allow her money as she desired, nnd, as she avers, he Beecherized and squanderd the ducats that should have been her comfort upon other women. She drags him into court, and swears that he is squandering his fortune at the rate of $100 per day.'aud that if he is not restrained he will run itout. Now comes Walker's story. He avers that he is not only chaste, but fastidiously so; that Mrs. Walker is a naughty woman, who makes appointments with other men, and does not in any sense live to the agreement sho made when she took him for better or worse. And so the courts have got Dr. and Mrs. Walker, and the lawyers will have fat picking. Both are able to pajr, and if the profits of Vinegar Bit ters are not distributed among the legal fraternity, all precedent is at fault. THE LAST FRAUD which agitates merchants is the lately discovered defalcation of Beckwith, confidential man of Babbitt, the soap manufacturer. Beckwith made false entries to the extent of half million, and was not discovered in it until at least three months after his discharge. Beckwith has been arrested. What is curious about it, is the fact that a business man like Babbittsliould per mit defalcations to so great an amount to go on so long unsuspectingly. This was paralleled a few months ago by a young man in the employ of a well-known importing house. On a salary of $1,500 a year he kept three horses and two women, and swindled his employers out of $150,000 in three years, and left matters so entangled, that when it was discovered, and he had gotten away, his employers were compelled to recall and forgive him to get him to explain and help square up the books, which he, good natured ly did. The merchant who runs his business so carelessly offers a premium to thieves. Pietro. Free Lecture! The Game Law of Nebraska.

He don'tsport a breech loader and a brace of pointers or set ters, nei tier can he cut his bird down when on the wing. Till September he seldom tees the-e wild Hocks except when he startles them out of the grass or dtuhbles. From October he may occasionally knock a few off the fences on frosty mornings, with his old rille with tile curly maple. He is compar tively helpless in the matter of levy ing on these flocks of his, till the snow comes down and covers up the loose feed. Then, the birds driven by hunger venture into his traps, and he can market them the same as his poultry. Has he not the rigJit to do so? The law sa3's, "No ;" there ure men of gentlemanly leisure, living In cit ies, who do sport breech-loaders and dogs, and to them belongs theexclusive right to slaughter these birds which you have "raised." They may come out in early August when your chickens are half grown and weak, find them there hidden in the grass, and leisurely butcher the whole brood, aa they kick them out one by one from their hiding place9, for thiH is sport, and the law is made to protect them in it. If the trail leads into your wheat fields, why, the dogs may beat through them, and the men may trample the edge to a reasonable extent in their laudable zeal to start tho bird that the law "protects I" In short, the farmer is helpless In the matter. He cannot shoot them, and the law says he shall not trap or en snare them at any time of the year. He is deprived of a very considera ble income. During tho month of January. 1874, I paid out for "prairie chickens." in Omaha, nearly $3,000. all of which went into the empty pocket", and to fill the famished stom achs of the "grashoppered" farmers, and I waa but one of many buyers, while tnna upon tons of birds were shipped through direct to eastern markets from interior points. The farmprs of the State probably netted from $20,000 to $30,000 last winter from the sale of prairie chickens. But the new law stops this revenue, and the State will he that much poorer. But then, the birds will bp saved for the sport of the men who framed tho law. JOSEPH SKTJTZ, No. 58 Iffoia Street Bro-crnvillc.
