A Tilden club was formed- by the
Democrats of St. Xiouis on the 10th,

The investigation of Speaker Kerr
Is ended and thecommitteehas agreed

seekers. Hitchcock and his friends
have refused to help them to lucrative
positions because uey, the RoEewat
ers, were not believed to be hbuest
men, and this daily tirade of abuse is
instigated by revenge. Had Hitch
cock, Yost, or Cunningham, seen fit
to shut up this avenue of dirt, they
could have dono so long ago with a
little money, for there is not a cheap
er man In Nebraska than that E.
Rosewater. He went to Washington
not long since und made overtures to
Mr. Hitchcock, but the Senator refus
ed to treat with him or buy him at
any price. He very properly could
not see that the slush of the Bee was
hurting him much. We know that
tho Bee has gained friends for the Sen
ator down this way. No friend of Mr.
Hitchcock Bhould think of goingback
on him on account of anything the
bushwhacker of the Bee may say.
His charges and assertions may safely
be put down as studied falsehoods.

Tho Plattsmouth Herald wants to
know why two members were placed
on theState Central Committee from
the first, third and fifth senatorial dis
tricts and only one from each of the
other distriotij. We are notrefening
to the matter'for the purpose of aus
swerlng it, but merely to perpetuate
the conundrum. We give It up. Per
haps Rosewater or Grigga could tell.
In reference to Mr. Blaine's ultimate
complete triumph and vindication in
the Mulligan charge, the Cleveland
Leader- says :
When the effect of his action has
reached the country he will probably
stand higher in the estimation of the
people than before, and have increas
ed the chances of his nomination at
Cincinnati. The effect of Mr. Blaine's
speech here can not be misunderstood.
He has won back all the friends he
lost last week and increased their
number-materially.
The Germans of Omaha organized a
Republican compaign olub on the 7th
inst. Dr. Theodore Eaumer was elect
ed permanent chairman ; Herman
Orseke, vice-president; A. Arneman,
recording secretary; A. Aust, treasur
er. Dr. Baumer being called to the
chair, stated to the meeting that the
main purpose of the same was to or
ganize the numerous elements" spread
nil over the different counties of JSTe
braska, into one harmonious party in
defense of republican principles and
republican candidates.
Before this issue of The Adverti
ser is fairly circulated and read it is
likely the Cincinnati convention will
have done Its work, and the people
by electrio flashes will learn who is to
be the nest President of tho United
States. We can only indulge rn spec
ulation and gueES work this week.
The principal contestants so fur as we
oan form an opinion by Cincinnati
dispatches, seem to be Blaine and
Conkling, with the chances about
equally divided between these two
statesmen. Morton Is the third man
In positive strength. We incline to
the opinion that Conkling will be the
man, but we don't want to bet on it.
Mr. Hinman knows that we can
prove the investigation of Yost's Jap
panese smuggling operations to have
been a transparent sham. The grand
jury took special pains to subpoena
nartles who oould not testify about
this transaction of their personal
knowledge. Daily Bee, June 9.
The Bee's remarks are not addressed
to us, nevertheless we embrace the
opportunity to say that the editor of
the Bbe is an infamous "transparent"
liar. We know that the grand jury
thoroughly Investigated the "Japan
ese smuggling operations,' and tho
truth is there is not a particle of blame
attaohing to Mr. Yost in any phase of
the case. If tho Bee will interview Mr.
Copeland, collector at that port, and
make a truthful report of the same, it
would show its readers that it has told
athousand lies about this matter.
Cox of tho House on tho 10th re
ported from the committee on banking
and currency a bill for the issue of
$10,000,000 silver coinage in exchange
for legal tender notes. He moved the
previous question and' refused to ad
mit the amendment proposed by the
act of Mills, to repeal the resumptiou
act. Tho previous question was sec
ondded 85 to 35, and the bill passed
without division.
The bill for tho purohaso of bullion
also passed.
The House committee on Indian af
fairs has authorized Representative
Page to report, with a recommenda
tion for its passage, a joint resolution
declaring the Black Hills country
open to exploration and settlement.
The joint resolution also declares that
the true intent and meaning of the
treaty of April 29th, 18GS, is, that men
are not excluded from traveling over
or settling upon any portion of Wy
oming Territory not included within
theboundariesof the permanentSioux
reservation established bj' the Becond
article of that treaty. The committee
add the proviso that this act shall not
be construed to affect the right of the
Indians to hunt in the Black Hills.
Thompson, who was Secretary
or the Interior before the war, was on
the 9th served with a process in a civil
suit to recover $1,000,000, the princi
pal and interest of bonds taken from
the department, and for the amount
received by him from the Coufederate
States, but which, it is alleged, revert
ed to and became the property of the
United States, and $1,000,000 as inte
rest. Thompson says that he noticed
in tho newspapers, some days ago,
that Secretary Chandler had made the
charge that he had abstracted those
bonds, but now this charge has been
abandoned, and a civil suit instituted
to make him pecuniarily responsible
for the acts of a subordinate clerk.
Mr. Thompson says he was, as agent,
instructed by theConfederate Govern
ment to turn the enexpended balance
of, $1,008,000 over to tho Confederate
agents abroad. This he did, and af
terward there was a final adjustment
of his account and a full and final re
ceipt of all moneys was given him,
which receipt he has now in his pos
session.

Tho Times contains a leader this
evening headed:
BLAINE, MORTON', CONKI-IKO, OR
HAYES.
And says: "We are happj' In the
embarrussment of our riches. Pall
the choice where it may, among these
four, we shall have a candidate wor
thy of our cause, worthy of our peo
ple, and worthy of the most confident
assurance of a magnificent success.
With the energy- and force of Blaine,
with the weight and power of Morton,
with tho lofty character aud brilliant
parts of Conkling, or with tho sterl
ing worth and fidelity of Hayes, we
can sweep the country with the .rush
of triumph."
Mr. Jones, the Nevada Millionaire
Seuator is there in splendid apart

The editor ofthe Bee is a willful
liar or an ignorant ass, probably both.
Judge Dillon was presiding when the
late U. S. grand jury was impaneled,
and delivered the instructions for the
guidance of tho jury during its delib

representation- of aflkirs, are sadly
misled.
We have from-the begiuing been
watching the Hitchcock war, kept up
and fed by tho Omaha Bee, and are
satisfied from evidence that has re
cently come to our personal knowl
edge, that the Bee's continuous, bitter
warfare on Hitchcock, Yost, Vander
voort and Cunningham, Is of the most
vindictive, unprincipled and malici
ous type. We are possessed of facts
"which convince ua that Rosewater has
not made a single charge on any of

On Saturday evening the Ohio del
egates held a larga-'and enthusiastic
meeting at their head quarters at the
Grant" Hotel, and resolved to vote
constantly for Hayes.
The Now York delegation serenad
ed the Indiana delegation at the Grand
Hotel, aud the multitude assembled
in the rotunda were addressed by
Hon. Godlove S. Orth, of Indiana:
Fred Douglas, of Wisconsin ; Hon:
A. B. Cornell and SilaH D. Dutcher,
of New York. All of the speakers
pledged their respective states to sup
port the nominee of the convention,
and all were guarded in their re
marks and expressed no preferences.
Ah regards the prospects of tho can
didates, overy moment's develop
ments indicate that the struggle next
week will be very obBtinate.
It is not probable that the balloting
will take place before Thursday, and
perhaps not till Friday.
In the interview with Hon. W. P.
Frye, he denies emphatically that Mr
Blaine would withdraw his name as
a candidate after the first ballot. He
would name thecandidate who should
succeed. The friends of Mr. Blaine
claim that because the Democrats
believe him to be the most dangerous
to their party, they have subjected
him to the ordeal through which he
has passed. There is great anxiety
to know how Illinois will go, aud in
the event of Blaine's failure to secure
a majority. Conkling's friends are
very enthusiastic aud confident of his
success.
Other politicians do not concur with
Mr. Frye on Blaine's chances. They
believe those letters fatal to him, and
that his support will leave him and
divide after a complimentary vote.
Morton's friends claim that he will
show enough strength in the start to
secure the nomination on the third
or fourth ballot.
Bristow club says the Independents
will be satisfied with Washburne.
Ohio men have assurances that if
Blaine is withdrawn his supporters
will take up Hayes, and they nre en
thusiastic. The Inter-Ocean special reports the
following:
Deacon Smith, of the Cinoinnati
Gazette, says, "There are three men
either of whom can be safely nomi
nated. One iB-HayA, one is-Taft, aid
one is Bristow."
"And how about Blaine ?"
"It won't do at all!"
"You really believe what you-bave
been Baying against him in tho Ga
zette, then ?'
"Most certainly."
"But is their no one else?"
"Yes. Hamilton Fish of New York.
He would be a good mau to fall back

this as great nonsense, aadsay givej
In the Omaha Bee of the 2d of June
appeared an editorial, slandering the
grand jury of the May term of the U.
S. courts, from which we extract the
following:
And now let us briefly review the
shum investigation conducted in the
interest of Yost, Cunningham &
Wiltse by the late U. S. grand jury.
That august body, as we all remember,
was made up for the most part of
partizaus of Hitchcock, Yost &. Cun
ningham. Beech Hinman, a Demo
cratic attorney who is notoriously in
collusion with the Hitchcock-Bartou-Yost
ring, was its foreman. This
model grand juror made it his special
business to conduct the investigation
so that no testimony should be elicit
ed against the ring.
The Rejmblican, with characteris
tic veracity, says: "Every man-who
professed to know, or was said or ru
mored to know anything about the
acts alleged against Yost, Wiltse, and
Cunningham, was brought before the
jury.'' This is false, and nobody
knows this better than Yost, Cun
ningham & Co. -A sham, show of in
vestigation was made by sending for
threo or four witnesses who did not
have personal knowledge about the
frauds, but the men who did know
were never subpoenaed. For instance,
the editor of the Bee was cited to tell
what he knew about Yost's Japanese
smuggling operations. He furnished
the grand jury the names of the mer
chants who bought the Japanese
goods from Yost-, und the names of
the nartles who had direct informa
tion concerning the intention of Yost
and Farr to defraud the government.
Not one of these witnesses was cit
ed, and the whole case was incontin
ently dropped. So much for tho vin
dication of that whitewashing grand
jury. If the organ of the public
plunderers desires further explana
tion why the U. S. Courts are corrupt
weare prepared to produce facts that
will convince even the most skepti
cal. Mr. Hinman, the foreman of that
jury, to whom the Bee alludes as be
ing "notoriously in collusion with
the Hitchcock ring," in answer to the
above publishes the following in the
Omaha Herald of the 9th inst:
To the Editor of the Omaha Bee:
In your issue of June 3d, you say :
Now in tho first place, Judge Dil
lon, in his capacity as United States
circuit judge, has nothing whatever
to do with the United States grand
juries, which are organized for the in
vestigation of crimes against the Uni
ted States.
J-The circuit court records show that
juuge union empaneiea tne unueu
States grand jury at Omaha in May
last. Your ignorance and falsehood
in tho above statement are only equal
ed by your barefaced falsehoods in the
balance of your article of the above
heading, which every one knows
having any knowledge in the prem
ises. You know there is no political co
lusion between myself and Senator
Hitchcock or Casper E. Yost, nor be
tween myself and any political ring
to -which they may belong. You
know that I am all the time in favor
of a democrat to succeed Senator
Hitchcock, and that he" would not be
my choice as among republicans.
You know that your statements are
false as to what transpired in the
grand jury room. You know that
the grand jurors are bound by their
oathB not to disclose the counsels of
their fellows or of the United States
attorneys ; hence yoar etab in the
back.
.hue excuse me, I do not wish to
buy you. A five cent nickel would
K . . . .
uk ix pour investment used in your
purchase. Beach I. Hinman.
We refer to this matter from the
fact that wo were one of those U. S.
grand jurors, and know of every
thing done in the premises. We en
dorse what Mr. Hinman says above,
so far as reference is made to the ac
tion of the jury, and are well satisfied
that the Bee man knew he was writ
ing a tissue of barefaced lies about the
jury. And coward that he is, he
wrote aud published, knowing that
none of the slandered jurors could
properly defend themselves by pub
lishing in detail matters that trans
pired in the grand jury room.
We are not for Hitchcock nor
against him, nor for or against any
other man, to that extent that we
could oppose the administration of
justice, whether it should lead to the
weal or woe of the individual interest
ed. Standing as We did unprejudiced,
unbiased not one particle Interesred
in seeing any man either acquitted or
condemned, owing allegiance to 'no
man or ring, and thinking of nothing
but to properly acquit oursejf as a
sworn U. S. grand juror, we consider
ed ourself qualified to criticise the ac
tion of our fellow jurors, and we de
clare that we are satisfied that ono
half the jurors did not know whether
tho other half were for Hitchcock or
not. The jury was composed of Re
publicans and Democrats, and it did
its duty well and thoroughly.
All the.Z?ee has to say about "Yost's
Japanese smuggling operations," are
malicious lies, and all his insinua
tions, charges and assertions, and tho
article collectively and in detail, are
malicious and vindictive lies.
Heretofore we have occasionally
felt some sympathy for Rosewater,
and thought that ho might' be in the
main right in his warefare on the U.
S. officials, but now we have personal
knowledge of his unprincipled dispo
sition, and that he does not scruple
nor hesitate to concoct, make up out
of whole cloth, any contemptible,
dirty, cowardly lie-that suits-his pur
pose. Aud when we have heard of
him being kicked and pommelled on
the street like a dog we thought he
was unjustly treated, but we have
changed our mind also about that;
for, as he persistently preys upon the
good name of men, he will hereafter
excuse us from feeling badly when he
falls into such hands as t!;oso of Curry-
"
On the 10th the Blaine investigation
waB postponed until Monday at
Blaine's request. Before the adjourn
ment of the committee the chairman
of the committee demanded of Blaine
a surrender of the Mulligan letters to
the committee and particularly the
one supposed have some bearing on
the case. Mr. Blaine said "If j-ou
make the request on general princi
ples that you have a right to demand
the whole of the letters I decline to
furnish it." Mr. Blaine further said
"I havo offered to produce only the
letter that Mulligan swore had any
bearing on the case, and if the com
mittee will make a requestspecifying
the letter bearing oh the casts I will
produce it.''
Ben Butler says: "I always think
of the cat story, when I hear of fights
in the Democratic party. Cat fights
simply result in more cats. I have no
faith in these party dissensions.

have no influence. I should never be
afraid of them."

According to tho Sidney Telegraph
three more herders were killed by
the Indians a few days ago, within
twenty-five miles of Sidney. The
names of the victims were Thomas
Kelley, Chas. Peterson, and Mat Ful

ly eight Indians in the gang, suppos
ed to be Red Cloud ageucy Indians.
of ta3ie, I was shown some of the new
fashions for decorating houses. The
heavy hand-wove Japanese brocades,
in rich, subdued colors, made of raw
silk, mixed with gold, were certainly
very handsome for chair coverings,
and looked as if they might bo a joy
forever, like all truly beautiful things.
They were of ordinary width, but
when the attendants mentioned the
price only fifteen dollars a yard
awe took possession of my soul.
"How much would the quantity for
upholstering a set of furniture cost ?"
I ventured to inquiro. "From one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars,"
was the answer. And I didn't ask
anymore questions. But the dealer
went on to show a satin, figured with
gold embroidery, at$loayard, with
which he was to cover the walls of a
large rooms in place of wall-paper,
and I thought of tho country suffer
ing from stagnation of business, and
grew sick. This 19 no exaggeration,
and no more are some different facts
with which I am going to contrast
this.
SHADOWS OF CITY LIFE.
At a desk in the room where this
letter is written, sits one of the best
stock actors in the city, who two
months ago was receiving a salary of
$60 a week, with steady employment
for the summer. Iu an evil hour, in
hopes of making a success, he was
persuaded to give U up aud go "in a
star part," as it is called, in the coun
try, at a much larger salary, to be sure,
but still on a venture. It was not a
foolish thing to do, in fact his friends
congratulated him when they heard
of it, that ho had a chance to distin
guish himself, and make a reputation
like Mulberry Sellers, which would
make him rich for life. But the play
proved not a success that was antici
pated, and the man was left out of
employment, with a family on his
hands, and not a stroke of work to bo
had. Tho companies are all full for
theseason, and tho poor man sits there
within reach penniless, livingon one
meal a day, of bread and water, sup
plied through thechancogiftof friends,
lightheaded with faintness, and
unable to keep his children from hun
ger. Farmers, who gather your fami
lies round a plentiful table daily, if
it is ever so plain consider yourselves
fortunate.

Quite a number of the papera are
saying that Senator Hitchcock is
killed as a candidate for re-election.
But, whatever may hereafter appear,
that is uot manifest from present press
developments. The premature fight in
tho Fremont convention, if it shows
anything, proves that he has far more
strength than any other candidate,
aud lacks but little of having more
than all the rest of the enndidntM
combined as it is not certain they
will be when the real tug of war
comes. If we were a defender of Mr.

say to his opponents, "You needn't

THE CENTENNIAL.
The centennial
is a big thing ; and one which every
body ought to see. Thero are art in
pictures in plenty, and the best in
the world ; there is statuary; there is
machinery ; thero aro goods from ev
ery country in the world, and there is
everything that can delight and in
struct. It is preoisely what was in
tendedan exhibiton of the world's
progress; and whoever does not see
it, misses an exceedingly good thing.
But don't lot it cost you too much.
There are not enough people in Phila
to stock tho boarding houses, by a
long way; and there are rooms for an
hundred thousand more than are
there now, or will be there at any
time. Pay no high prices. Stop by
the day till you get what you want at
the price you want, and then settle
down quietly to see what is to be seen.
The hotels and hoarding houses are
more anxious to have you than you
are to havo them. Thero has not
been that rush that was expected, nor
will there be. Six months is a long
time; and it will spread out the ex
hibition tolerably thin, so far as peo
ple iu attendance Is concerned. There
is no necessity for paying exorbitant
prices. One can live in Philadelphia
this summer as cheaply as in any oth
er city, if ono knows how. The se
cret Is : wait. Go till you find what
you want; and don't be frightened
at any reports of crowds. There is no
suoh thing. There are more rooms
than people, and there will be to the
end of the exhibition. But go, by all
means. It is worth going ten thous
and miles to see.
METROPOLITAN EXTRAVAGANCE.
There is money In the country
somewhere, or people, could not af
ford such indulgences as are offered
by our metropolitan shops of luxury.
At a fashionable furnlshing-house,
where designs aro always in ho beat
diately raised tho howl that he was
attempting to subsidize the press, aud
a pretty little row is raised. The antl
Tilden papers took it up venomously,
and charged the old fox with all sorts
of corruption and fraud, laying par
ticular stress upon the fact that the
advertising agents who sent out the
propositions were republican, and
wanting to know what republicans
had to do with democratic nomina
tions. Now the facts are these : Butes
& Locke, 34 Park Row, New York,
advertising agents. Their business
is to place advertising In newspapers
for whosoever desires it, for which they
get a commission from tho newspa
pers. They advertise, just as n shoe
maker makes shoes, for whosoever
comes to them Jew, Gentile, Chris
tian or Pagan.
It happened one morning that a
customer of theirs who is a democrat,
camo into their office, and wanted five
notices offered to five hundred papers,
urging tho nomination of tho Gov
ernor. They did it just as they would
have sent out five notices of a piano
or a sewing-machine. Probably Gov.
Tilden knew nothing about it. Prob
ably it was tho tribute a friend wish
ed to pay him. But be that as it may
the people opposed to him have made
a terrible howl about it. and it has
made more talk than any ono Inci
dent of tho campaign.
THE STEWART ESTATE.
My advice is, don't get rich. I
never will, for it Isn't safe. One nev
er knows what is to come of his mon
ey after ho is gone. Alexander T.
Stewart died worth forty millions;
and ho disposed of it all as well as it
oould bo done, before he died. But
now comes a dozen or more of people
who claim that they are cousins of
tho old man ; and they insist the will
by which he disposed of his property
was forced out of him by his wife and
Judge Hilton-; and in short, that
they are entitled to their share as rel
atives. And they have employed
lawyers, and have commenced suit to
break the will; and thero is a pros
pect ahead for lively business. The
probability is that others will get
their fingers into this very rich pie
before it is done with. It is stated
that he has never publicly acknowl
edged; and that they and their
friends are also after their share of
of the dead merchant's money. He
never had any children, and cousins
first, second and third are spring
ing up all over the world; and If the
will of the dead merchant can be brok
en, there is enough to make them all
comfortable. Lawyers have been
found to take hold of It on specula
tion, for they have a double chance.
It Is probable that Mrs. Stewart and
Judge Hlltorr will pay very hand
somely to buy them off, for they had
better pay than submit to the annoy
ance of legal worry. The lawyers
will get handsome pickings. The
claimants may or may not, get some
thing. But one thing is tolerably
certain : the estate will be shorn ma
terially. Tho old man fought, strug-;
gled and worried all hia lifo to have a
scoro of people, of whose existence he
was Ignorant, pulling his bones oat of
his grave and fighting over them lika
so many hyenas. Such i3 life.
