"'22 THE ADVERTISER THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 1876. Twenty-eight murderers were exe cuted last Friday. The Republicans of West Virginia hove declared for Blaiue for President. The prospects of Governor Hays, of Ohio for the Presidency, begin to loom up. permanent reservation established for said Sioux Tndiaus, by the second art icle of said treaty of April 29, 18C8. Notwithstanding the passageof such a bill would be acting in bad faith to ward the Indians, it would be hailed with joy by white men generally. The settler, the miner, aud the immi grant would of course then receive protection by the Government, and that patch of country which could not be bought, would virtually be ta ken possession of by force. And such a proceeding would bo much cheaper than paying old Red Cloud's price. General Harrison will probably be the Republican candidate for 'Gov ernor of Indiana. It Is announced that H. M. Atkin son has resigned theofllce of Commis pionerof Pensions and been appointed Surveyor General of New Mexico. Labor In the South. The veterans of the Mexican War have a re-union in St. Joseph to-day. Gen. James Shields expected to be present. As one of them we sincerely regret our inability to;bo with them. c The Kansas legislature has passed resolutions thanking the Republicans In Congress for the defeat of the bill granting amnesty to Jeff Davis, by a vote of 67 to 15. The Savannah News says there is no portion of the South where indus trious laborers are needed, and where they would not find immediate em ployment at good wages. Exchange. It is a fact we presume, that labor ers are in demand In the fields and workshops of the Southern States.

The well-known scout, California Joe, came in with the party. He returns to the hills in about ten davs with a large party. Joe says that coming in they traveled 216 miles, but says that twelve miles can bo saved on this end of the route, making the distance 04 miles, with the finest natural road he ever saw. The longest distance between water is fifteen miles. There are two miles only of alkali lands on the route, and no alkali water or sand. He says the richest diggings are on Bear Creek, twenty miles west of Bear Butte, and from there west to Inyan Karahesaw $34 taken out on a pan, being one nugget worth $22. one worth $2.50. and others smaller.

McKeo, the principal owner of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has been found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the Government in the whisky ring. Ho Is between sixty and seventy years old and worth $500,000. A petition has been presented in the Senate from oitizens of Wiscon sin, praying for the abolition of the U. S. Senate and the transfer of the powers of that body to the House of Representatives and the judiciary. The bill appropriating $1,500,000 for the Philadelphia Centennial Exposi tion passed the House of Representa . tlves on the 25th ult., by a vote of 146 to 130. The party vote analyzed stands as follows : Yeas Republicans, - - - - 86 Ind. Republicans, - - 5 Democrats, - - - - 55 Total, 146 Nays Democrats, - - - - 106 Republicans, - - - - 19 Ind. Republicans, - - 5 Total, 130 Of the Democrats who voted for the bill 18 only were from the Southern States, while o' the 106 Democrats who. voted against it, 62 represented Southern States. It will be seen that had the bill been left entirely for its support to the Democraoy it would have been defeated. Tucker, of Virginia, while the Cen tennial appropriation bill was under consideration in the House yesterday made a speech which ought to satisfy the people of the country as to the loyalty or disloyalty of .the Demo crats of the South. He took the ground that the United Stales are not a nation, but mere ly a confederacy, denounced the Un ion and those who stood by theUnion, and declared secession proper and justifiable. He thought the South had no reason to rejoice that the Un ion had been mintained for a century, and therefore was opposed to tho pass age of the bill. It was probably on this same ground that the Legislature of Virginia recently refused to appro priate $10,000 to defray the expense of representing that State at the Centen nial Exhibition. Inter-Ocean. And the Democrats in Congress ap plauded Tucker as a truthful expoun der of Democratlo doctrine. A convention of county school su perintendents was 'recently held at Fremont, Nebraska, and amongst other things passed resolutions de claring that the state needs another normal school ; and resolved to peti tIon Congress to donate the Pawnee Hndian .reservation with the brick "foulldlngs thereon for that purpose. The'Btate does not need another nor mal school at this time, and if It did, the Pawnee reservation is not the place for it. It would in justice be long to the northern or western part of thotat. The'suggestlon of the Beatrice Ex pressx we think a good one, and that is to institute a reform'echool on the Pawnee section. That would at least be of more benefit than another nor xnal school. The New York Tribnne has tho largest circulation of any political pa per in the United States ; the Chicago Inter-Ocean, is second; the N. Y. Times, third ; The St. Louis Globe Democrat, fourth. The other leading .political papers are much below the ones we name. We are glad, as is every Republican that the Inter-Ocean , (Stands so near the head of its olass, for it is certainly the best and most ably edited Republican paper In the United States. Every Republican during the year of '76 should take it. There are many other good and true Republican journals, but in our opin ion the Inter-Ocean, as a political pa per, consistent, true and able, heads them all. Wo say this gratuitously and without solicitation, and for the 6ole reason that we would assist the the people to a knowledge of where to obtain the best and most reliable read ing for the exciting Presidential cam paign of the present year. Aud on the finance question the Inter-Ocean is with the people. Mr. Steele, the Delegate in Congress from the Territory of Wyoming, has Introduced the following bill for open ing the Black Hills country for settle .ment by white men : lie it enacted, etc., That-all that por tion of country north of the North Platte river and east of the summits of the Big Horn mountains, in the territory of Wyoming. Is hereby de clared to be open to exploration and settlement; and the true intent and rneaoicg of the treaty with the Sioux indiana concluded April 29, 1868, is declared to be that white men are not excluded thereby from traveling over.

Henco such men as the South most needs intelli gent laborers will not to a great ex tent go Into the southern States re gardless of locality, to procure work. The lower class of workmen and la borers, however, those who care not for principle, those who would not object to being degraded to serfs, or could through cowardice or any other cause, follow the political dictations of a master, and could join the rabble in negro murdering, and with zest take up the rebel yell of intimidation, would find congenial homes and pleasant labor in the south. for six hours. The next day the same force in the same time took out $112. They had taken out thirty-six ounces of gold from a space twelve feet wide, thirty long and six deep.

Gleaned from our Exchanges and Telegraphic Reports. Wflfl'l Crounsc's vs. Hitchcock's Bill. Crounse's bill for subjecting the Ft. Kearney military reservation to home steading, having passed in the House of Representatives, the western news papers of the State, with few excep tions, make it the occasion of rejoio ing. The full fruition of their hap piness would apparently bo achieved should the bill receive the sanction of the other branches of legislation and become a law. It pleases us exceed ingly to see our cotemporaries happy. For some time they have been suffer ing great perturbation of mind for fear Senator Hitchcock's bill, dispos ing of this reservation in another way, would pass ; for tho idea of the general government 7i"w"n7 the reser vation, or the proceeds of its sales for the benefit of the asylum for the blind, as Mr. Hitchcock's bill con templates, is not to bo entertained for a single moment. Those fellows out west would rea son, if they reason at all, that it would be a terrible thing for the gov ernment to donate something to one of our State institutions ; why ? Be cause that institution is at Nebraska City instead of Kearney Junction, uoiumous, or at some other place in the interior. The blind asylum will have to be supported, but when one of our Seuators undertakes to obtain a munificent donation from Govern ment for it, the jealous, envioua sec tional spirit which prevails with with some, comes to tho front and a most unreasonable and ungenerous warfare is commenced on that Sena tor for so doing. The Omaha Bee starts a howl, because itjiiates Hitch cock and is determined to find fault with everything he does regardless of merit; and the coyotes of the Inter ior have no more sense than to take up and prolong the howl against him. We believe in giving Senator Hitchcock credit as ho deserves whether we are for his re-election or not, and those who are trying to make a point against him because he souglit to obtain a gift from govern mentor one of our State institutions, which would thereby lessen the burden of our taxes, will utterly fail, we think, with every reason able, sensible, person within the'State. We give him credit for asking that donation for the blind asylum, not withstanding it is located at Nebras ka City Instead of Brownville. The institution was a neceasity, in a hu mane point of view, it had to be lo cated at some designated point and Nebraska City was the pluce selected ; and to say as some has said that the Senator introduced his bill for the grant purposely to please Nebraska City is, apparently to us, the climax of absurdities. At auy rate it is a hu mane measure, in one view, and in another it is a good business measure, Inasmuch as it Is calculated to add wealth to our state, was a free gift, while at the same time it opened the reservation for settlement which lat ter Is the only merit that the Crouuse bill has. pota- The Black Hills. A late special telegram from Bis marck, D. T. to the Inter-Ocean gives the moBt flattering and seductive news regarding the Black Hills country, besides other information of interest. A party of prominent citizens, and some of the officials of Bismarck, went into the Hills country and returned. The dispatch says : This trip was made for the purpose uuuiug out positively the time At Montgomery, aio., wee toes sell for 80 cents a bushel. Washington Territory gained 5,000 new inhabitants last year by emigra tion. Hon. Caleb Gushing:, Minister to Spain, has just passed into the 77th year of his age.

The Board of Eduoatlon of New York City has detetmlned to take no part In the Centennial Exposition. The keel of a tugboat which was recently laid in San Francisco, was composed of one stick of timber 140 feet long. Tho Rev. Morley Punshon, as the representative of the Wesleyan de denomination, received recently the gift of a chapel built by two gentle men at Ivybridge, Eug., and costing about $40,000. There are in Illinois, according to a late report of the Boardof Education, fifty-four colleges for males, six for fe males, and thirty-five academies and seminaries.

Contractor McAndrews of the new Delaware, Lackawanna & Western tunnel in Bergen Hill, has broken through the last heading, and day light was admitted into the dark cav ern, Jan. 19. Tho Baptists of Tennessee propose to celebrate tho Centennial year by raising $300,000 for the Baptist Uni versity recently located at Jackson. The city has already subscribed $150, 000. Victor "Hugo has issued an addrees to the Senatorial delegates for Paris and France, in which he asks them to found a Democracy whioh shall end foreign war by arbitration, civil war by amnesty, and distress by edu cation. Walnut logs are in such demand that a man who recently purchased a farm of 250 acres near New Albany, Iud., for $10,000 received an offer of $9,600 for 120 large walnut trees grow ing on the place.

Fog, rain, and fever-breeding weather were just making ready for a host of small epidemics. The ice-men were sick with hope deferred, for there were no signs favorable for their annual loe crop, and 5,000 men were waiting for work to begin at the great ioe-houses up river. There was little need of in valids going to Florida. But the .north-west wind; brought clear and bracing weather that mafceslifsaduE. ury. With all the warm, unfavorable weeks, the season Is far from being an unhealthy one, the death rate for tho week being considerably less than the corresponding one last winter. After the weather, the BEECHER TOPIC. The motions of Plymouth church may be called erratic, if nothing harsher. Its last performance, after Bnubbing theidoaof a mutual council, was to summon Mr. Bowen, editor of tho Independent, to a church meeting to hear grievances against him. His two Bona were allowed with him, on sufferance, but the stenographer he brought was promptly turned out. But tho reporter made good use of his time while he did stay, and took dowu the debate word for word, and quietly took satisfaction in put ting the report into next morning's papers, whero It didn't read credita bly to the fairness or osdes of private Plymouth Churoh proceedings. Af ter all, the charge against Mr. Bowen was that when a churoh demanded that he should tell all he knew about the Beecher matter, he refused to say anything good or bad about It. The shrewd, long-witted Bowen knew what would exasperate the swlvel tongued brethren, and dfd It, by keep ing his mouth shut. He turned the tables on tho meeting last night by taking ground that tho church sum moned him to hoar charges and re ceive advice, not to answer, and the Bowen mouth closed like adamant agaiu. Tho silent is the strongest In the quarrel. MOODY AND SANKEY. Barnum's Hippodrome, where Jer sey and Vermont girls rode Roman chariot races last winter, and Gil more'a Brass Band made everybody thirsty enough to drink oceans of beer, last summer, la now converted Into a tabernacle for Moody and San key's great meetiugs in February. Seats for 7,000 cover the saw-dust, and a choir of 70.1 frdm different church chiors will lead the singing. The va3t building has been divided up in to roonia for various purposes. Be sides the vast autorium for the regu lar meetings, there are four very large rooms for inquirers, roonis'for preach ers' meetings, rooms for classes, and rooms for every purpose. The mon ey for all this has been furnished by wealthy religious people in the city. wno are determined to tnaKe some head against the-depravity that rules tho city, and is running It. One liquor seller, who has one of the most popu lar bars in the city, subscribed and actually paid $1,000 to the fund for the Moody meatlr.g. When asked, why he paid his money to a cause that was in direot conflict with his busi ness, he answered that he had real estate, the income from which was greater than the profits from his bar. That the demoralization of the city, tho vice and crime that made New York an undesirable place to live in, was hurting his largeBt interests. "If them howlers kin stop that kind of a thing," said he, "they are doing me the beBfc turn they kin !" Not a very Christian reason, but an exceedingly practical one. But when you come to revivalists, there are two in the city who deBervo more encouragement than they are getting. DWYER AND MCCAULEY Are two brands snatched from the burning, that is, one was a miserable drunkard and the other was aprize fighter. They were converted, and both felt called upon to do something for the people they had formerly known. So they take lofts or cellars, justasjthey can, down in Water and Vandam streets, and they hold serv ices amonc: the lowest and most wretched people in the city. They are mobbed, and hustled, and despiteful ly used in all sorts of ways, but they stick to It with the zeal of martyre, and are actually accomplishing some thing. They have got together small congregations in both those streets, and havo actually induced a large number of men and women to try a better life. They work without pay, or hope of pay, happy when the well incllned give them enough to get kerosene to light up their rooms. Men willing to labor for humanity where they do, deserve better encourage ment than they have received or are likely to. THE BUSSINESS OUT-LOOK. Is just as bad .as ever. Last week there were forty-six failures, some of them very largo. One jewelry house went up with liabilities to the amount of $400,000, with over $700,000, worth of gooda in their store that Is goods that had cost them thatamount. This $700,000 worth of goods cannot be sold to day for one-fourth their cost, for the reason that only very few are buying jewelry, and that few can buy the best in tho world of Individuals. - gance, but that is not the class that is going under at this time. The fail ures of to-day are caused by the fear ful depreciation of goods, and the ter rible dullness of trade. . It is horrible for a man who has worked hard all his life, and is getting in position to retire on a decent competency, to have it all swept out from under him. The sufferers of to-day are mostly of this class, aud they are to be pitied. THE EXPRESS MONOPOLY. Everybody except the Express Com panies and their subsidziug Agents, ought to hope for the successful repeal of the po3tago law which increased the rates on all third class matter. This amendment has been favorably reported to Congress by the appropri ate committee. The Express Compan ies are straining every nerve to defeat it but we shall see whether Govern ment exists. fox tho- good of the peo ple, or Intends the people shall exist for the good of monopolies. The Companies of New York have a large lobby in Washington, and are spending and lending money widely to influence tue matter. Any Con gressman who finds his expenses run ning high with the enormous board bills of the Capitol, knows that he has no safer or surer place to apply for a "temporary accommodation" than to one of the express lobby. There never was a measure more directly for the good of every voter who has ten dol lars year to spend to please himself or bis family, than the law which sent packages by mail for a cent an ounce. It brought books and half the facilities of the oity, forgettingbettergoodsand lower prices to the door of tho loneli est farmer in tho northwest, living miles from any village, but visited: by the mail rider once a week. The Ex press ComDanies have had the field long enough to make gigantic for tunes for every one of them, but with their usual dog-in-the-manger spirit, they don't want poor people to havo their little parcels sent at the only rates they can afford to pay. There will always be business enough for tho express people in taking boxes, aud articles too large for the mail, but with unparalleled greed they even grudge the spending of books at the reasonable and habitual rates of mail. The oppression of the new postage law in operation the last year, has nearly killed the profits of the large newspapers. Some had increased their size by a column or two to give their readers the benefit of more read ing,' but tho increased weight of a half ounce doubled the postage, and nearly ruined tho proprietors. I know of one of the. largest and most popular newspapers in the country, whose Increase of postage bj' this in famous bill waa $20,000, and there are plenty more to tell a similar story. If auy one labors under the delusion that the express companies need the protection of high postage, let them come to Now York and seo the mag nificent buildings they do business in, the palatial houses they live in, find the enormous salaries" the officials vote themselves, ket it bo understood that the profits of tu?se monopolies do not show in their-statement?- It va9 urged in Washington tuat tuey were making only a moderate profit on their capital, but they did not ex plain that they were using up their profits in $50,000 salaries, and that every stock-holder quartered on the company every relative he had in the world. SERVANT GIRLS In this city it frequently happens that servants sue their employers for wages. It is a thing they are fond of; if they have any small grudge to pay off, they take the time when most inconvenient to demand the money, and if it Is not forthcoming at once, toent.Tsuit for the eako of seeing a delicate mistress obliged to go to a hideous police court, among vagrants and reprobates. The last case is that of a millionaire who was sued by a girl for her wages, as, servant at his house in tho country. He put in the very just defence that she was under contract to atay n certain time, but left before it was up; hence, here- fused to pay hor. He would havo had justice, had he rested his defence there, but he added a. bill of the ex pense it cost to get the girl, including fare to New York, and board for him self and wife at a hotel, Intelligence office fees, journey to tbo girl's home In Connecticut, her fare out and back, which amounted to nearly $40.00, which the court stupidly refused to consider as anything but a joke, though the employers who have the same frequent trouble to getaservaut and have her leave when she is fairly of uso to them, are not inclined to bo take the decision. This case will probably havo an effect in decidedly abating the servant-girl nuisance, by the ventilation which It will cause to the employee's side of tho subject, for many who hire servants will not be slow to make the master's case their own in this instance.
