T .PHE ADVERTISER. THURSDAY, DEC. 28, 1S76. - - - . - . A bill has passed the U. 8. Senate establishing the Territory of Huron, (formerly Pembina) a portion of Da kota. The fellow who said the country is juet now cursed with nu uncertain kind of patriots who are "invinclhle in peace and invisible in war," said a very good thing whether it was Bob. Ingersoll or Ben. Hill who said it. The next national House of Repre sentatives is calculated to stand as fol lows: Democrats, 147. Republicans, 143. The Democratic majority in the present House is about 73 reduced to 4 at the late eleotions. By the way, how about that Democratic victory ? If Hayes loses one vote In Oregon, on account of the ineligibility of one of the Electors, upon the same ac count Tilden loses one In Missouri and one In New Jersey, leaving Hayes two votes ahead instead of one "It's a poor rule that will not work both ways." In a recent sermon Henry Ward Beecher Paid : "When South Carolina plunged the nation into war she established that logic of events which now goading her to denperation. She sowpd the wind, and is reaping the whirlwind. She says it is a wind from the North ; I pay it is from above, from the seat of justice.,, The Supreme Court of Florida has ordered the State Canvassing Board to recanvats the vote according to the face of the returns, and report the re sult to the court. If this is done it will not change the result regarding Presidential Electors, as the face of the returns show a majority for the Hayes and Wheeler Electors. J 1 0 Senator Hitchcock has introduced a measure allowing Nebraska anoth er Congressman on and after the 4th of March 1877. It wi!l hardly pass ihe House ihe parties will be too nearly equally divided for the De mocracy to do anything that would add to the strength of the Republi cans, regardless of the justice of the matter. A resolution was recently introduc ed into the lower House of Congress instructing the judiciarj' committee to report an amendment to the nation al constitution forbidding the pay jnent of rebel war claims, which was .adopted by a vote of 150 to C3. All -the aid ex-rebels of the House voted against the resolution, and all the Re publicans voted for it. The Democratic, or Wade Hamp ton legislature, of South Carolina, before it adjourned,. ejected that mur derer and butcherer -of negroes, But ler, to the United States Senate. He i3 a representative Democrat, down there, but willujot represent anybody 1n the U. S. Senate. The Senate will not admit him it would not so dis grace itself by the admission of sueha brute, illegally elected, too, a i p "In South Carolina the Chamberlain legislature adjourned sine die -on the 22nd inst. Afterward, on the game day, the Hampton legislature did the same tiling. This'ieaves two govern ments. Of course, one of them is bo gus and will eventually have to suc- cumb. Both governments are exer cising authority and tri'ing to run the .machine. President Hayes and the general government wfii undouhted- Jy recogu ize the Chamberlain govem .nient. "The Tilden bulldozers of Cincinnati laet week met with a very humiliat ing defeat. A leader among them called a mass meeting, irrespective of party, for the purpose of expressing Indignation at the course of the Re publican party, from a Democratic standpoint. The sequence was that the people, old soldiers, Republicans, and all, "irrespective of party," did meet promptly responded to the call took matters into their own hands, deposed the bulldozer who impudent ly assumed the chairmanship of the meeting, elected a chairman of their own, and then proceeded to pass reso lutions indorsing Hayes, expressing telle in his air election, and declar ing tliat he should be inaugurated if proclaimed elected by lawful authori ty. And the Democracy helplessly retired, expressing their chagrin in muttered curses. It seems very probable that the Re publican legislators will naturally conclude that the wideuiug breach cau only be healed by dropping Hitch cock and selecting a representative re publican for the position.

How are you "representative republican ?" Oma ha Republican. We are not "In" with Mr. Briggs, if the Republican represents him cor rectly, and we do not doubt it, as it is confirmatory of what we have had good reagon to believe of that gentle man's politics. Judge Crounse Is simply a small bidder for political promotion. He would repudiate platforms, parties, or give or do anything within his power togratify his chronlcambition to attain lofty positions for which nature nor education basin any sense qualified him. He has no force of either merit or ability to recommend him for the exalted position of a national Senator ; and his only chanee is that a lucky combination of circumstances, some happy catch at party faults, or the failure of the party to agree upon a suitable person, will put him in the Sjen.&e, as theydjd to elccttiim Judge i and then Congressman. It has been said that "it is better to'be born luchy than rich." Crounse has been a lucky cuss, and without experience, or any thing to recommend hitu more than locality and a big pair of whiskers, lie entered the office-seekers' gam bling shop, and at political chucker luck took the big prizes from more experienced and talented players ; and he may win again the next throw. Editor Nebraska Advei User. With the full knowledge and expe rience of two years ago of the drouth, the grasshopper, the short crop of corn or no corn at ull. nearlj one-half the inhalitants in the country are again burning corn for fuel. It appears to be almost a crime, but let us see whether it is or not. Fuel of some kind they must have. Tim ber they have not got, and it it will not pay them to sell their corn to buy it. Wood and coal are held so high by those who have them, the farmer finds he makes a saving to burn his corn rather than exchange it for eith er. By this we can see the great want of timber. Not a man would burn corn if he was not almost compelled to do so. There was a few men among us who appears to have been given wisdom far above the common lot of men. They looked ahead to coming years and saw what was going to he wanted more than anything else, and they acted accordingly. They planted timber uearly the first thing they done on their farms, and are now re warded with abundance of timber for fire-wood, fencing, &c, from only seven to nine years' planting. Anil as they deserve all honor and credit for the example they have set for oth ers to follow, we ill name a few men in our neighborhood who have fine groves of timber enough to supply nearly all their wants, namely: Gil bert, Bron, Aldrich, Fredinburg, and there are others, but not one man in ten has one-Xourih the timber he wants. Let us think for n moment what Senator Hitchcock's timber bill would have done had it been in force when this part of theState was firstsettling. If we could have had 40 acres of such timber on each section of land, as is now to be seen on either of the above named gentlemen's farms, it would have added more to the beauty and wealth of this part of theState than many are willing to allow or give him credit fur. Senator Hitchcock has dono that for this State, and added that to his name which his enemies cau never take from him. The timber that his act has caused and will cause to be planted, will continue to grow, and it will warm the hearts and hands of thousands of men, women and child ren, long after his enemies have pass ed to the land of forget fulness. If any of our present legislators wish to add that to their name aud fame that will stay by them after they have passed ten rods from the capitol, let them honor the man with their votes, that has done more for this State than any other man who ever represented it in Congress. Then Jet them imitate him by passing a law compelling eve ry man that owns land to plant a cer tain amount of timber. Cau any man give a good reason why such a law should not be parsed ? If they can we should like to hear it. This coaxing people to plant timber is found to be pure moonshine, and it has about as much effect as that plan et does to warm the shivering crowds these nights. Some of our legislator just before election, appeared to be very anxious to have an opportunity to serve the people, and we shall look with considerable interest to see whether practice and professions will remain near and good neighbors. Fairvikw. . Letter from John L. Colhapp. Chicago, Dec. 22, 1S7G. Editor Nebraska Advertiser: Dear Sir: We arrived here safe Thnrsdny night, after encountering more delays than were promised by voluble railroad men. We were on the cars two nights and one day. From Phelps to Kansas City in the night; missed the connection, and had to lay over all of Wednesday. Going from there Wednesday even ing, got to Louisiana, Mo., via Mexi co, about day break, and all the day light we got on the trip was from there to Chicago. The Kansas City bridge on the Mis souri river and the bridge acros the Mississippi at Louisiana, are both beautiful structures and worth one's while Jooklngat. At Kansas City were quite a lot of negroes going to Southern Kansas. I conversed with several who had come from Louisiana to save their lives which had been threatened because they had voted the Republican tick et. One of them told me he had left forty acres of land, a house aud crop of cotton, and he and his family had only what they could carry awav with them. He had several children. The other said he had decided rather to lose his crop than his life. There were in all about thirty men. women and children, aud they said that many others would have to leave or run the risk of being killed. As pictured to me by theBe negroes, the section of country they left is entirely without law or order. The couutry passed oxer from Lou isiana, Mo., here, is but little differ ent from Nebiaka. only it is not so picturesque as that composing Nema ha and Richardson counties; but it has what is more to the purpose than beautiful scenery, In the large mounds of earth and building's which are met with frequently along the road where coal and stone are rained. Such things have a much more beneficial effect than scenery. Bloomington is a beautiful place, as is Joliet. At the latter place we stopped at the penitentiary and left five persons who were so much thought of by the State that they were fastened together so as not to get away. They will board there for Fome time. I I have thus far seen a3 much of Chicago ass can be seen in one day, which is not much, as I have only learned the names of two streets; yet I hope, afier restibg a spell, I shall learn faster. It is a big place, and just now is in poor condition for foot passengers, the snow being about six inches deep. I find that one can't get anywhere by the street cars, and so I take it afoot. I have read much of the pleasures of house-hunting in a large city, yet it takes actual experi ence to make it enjoj-able. It is the best thing for the "lysep and tysep" muscles (see med. dec.) I think ever invented. I saw Mnj. Caffrey this evening. He is looking himself in every re spect, just as of old, a little rough, al ways ready, and very hearty in his every action. He is running the Chicago Enterprise and five other papers in good style, and accumulat ing meat ou it, for he looks better than in days of yore. Yours truly, as ever, J. L. Colttapp. NEWS RECORD. STATE. The Kenesaw Times enviously growls : "The Kearney Press has got hold of one of the state teats, in the shape of a printing contract, and is going to have a new press. The Lincoln Journal calls the at tention of the regents to the question of taking steps to establish a medical college in connection with the State University. The Sutton Timesls fearfully fidge ty with dread that Senator Hitchcock will bribe somebody; yet it says, "We have no reason to think that Senator Hitchcock intends to bribe any one." The Times makes us think of the woman who saw a man looking at her, and called on her hus band to save her. "Take me away," she said, "for I fear that gentleman over there intends to seduce me."

Saturday evening of this week the Lancaster County Bar Association will hold its annual banquet, in Lin coln.

The Lincoln Globe says, The Ne braska Railway has changed its run ning time formerly we have heard it said there was danger of cows and other wild animalscoming abroad the train between Lincoln and Nebraska City but now all who travel that route say the telegraph poles look like fine-tooth combs ! A man named Davi, near Lincoln, had his eye hliot out last week while carelessly handling a gun. Several of our State cotemporaries are speaking favorably of Judge Briggs of Omaha for U. S. Senator. The Tecumseh Herald says that Fred S.

If some one would start a manufactory of this kind in Tecumseh, it would undoubtedly prove a profitable invest ment." The Globe-Journal has an opinon, and we guess it is about right : "Mr. Thomas Wolfe, of the Seward Report er and Nebraska Legislature, is en gaged in a learned discussion with reference to a Republican caucus in the selection of a U. S. Senator. If he does not know that a caucus never was possible, we will tell him so now. . . . rpi.r. f!1.1. TV,..-., 7 ..

In Beatrice last week, Isaac Brtegs. was arrested for bastardy, but he at once put n stop to the proceedings of the law by marrying the mother of the baby. The fifth report of the Board of Di rectors of the Nebraska Institute for the Deaf and Dumb shows that in the paBt two years fiftj'-three pupils have been connected with the school, and the number now attending is larger than ever before. Tho mutes have a well selected library and are taught trades of various kinds. A new build ing is just being completed for them which has long been greatly needed, Beatrice Express. Prof. Church, of the State Univer sity has been granted a year's leave of absence to visit Europe Berlin, we believe to prosecute his etudies in history and antiquitarian literature and a salary of Sl,200allowed him, for the year. Chancellor Fairfieid, with reference to the matter, and in defense of this action of tho P-egeuts, which gome of the papers are unfavorably criticising, explains as follows, in the State Journal, and vindicates the Board of Regents, in our opinion. He says : 1st. Prof. Church presented his re quest accompanied with the state ment that he would provide for the teaching of his regular classes in the University without expense to the Regents; and upon that express con dition the request was granted. 2d. As Prof. Church had been teaching more or less in the sub-freshman department of the University, the Regents, in granting him leave of absence reserved $S00 from his salary in order to provide for these classes. And this sum is amply suillcient to meet that expense. So that it will be seen that the Uni versity made no donation whatever to Prof. Church. I did not say that it is a common thing for institutions of learning to grant such requests without condi tion and without reservation, when the have a full treasury from which to draw. But the regents, feeling the need of rigid economy, aud that in these times they could not afford to make donations, made none. Prof. Church's classes will be pro vided for according to the action of the regents, without the expense of a dol lar more than though he himself were to be here. E. B. Fairficld, Chancellor. Prof. Aughey, of the Nebraska State University has gone east to lec ture onscientific purposes. The Germania Hotel at Sidney Ne braska was destroyed by fire last week Loss about $5,500. The Kenesaw Times, speculates: The approaching legislature is large ly made up of new men, most of whom have had no experience in leg-i-Iative matters, and there will be a tendency for the great majority to be controlled by a few men of experienced ami strengin. huh, nobody can tell how many strong men may come to the front from among the new men. MISCELLANEOUS. The President recently pardoned Madison Doom, imprisoned in .Vir ginia for violation of the civil rights act, thus forestalling action by the supreme court and preventing a teat of the case, this being the only known instance of such imprisonment. Emperor William on the 22d inst. closed the session of German Parli ament with a speecli from the throne. He said i:i reference to foreign affairs: Negotiations of the powers had upon the eastern question, as far na pro ceeded with, justify the hope that my efforts and mutually conciliatory and peaceful intentions of the powers im mediately concerned, will he success ful' in solving pending quesliotn with out prejudice to the good relations ex isting. Germany will continue, by friendly disinterested mediation, to lend her co-operation for attainment of this end. The statistician department of agri culture, in the December report, mak es the corn crop only two per cent, short of the great crop of last year and fully 50 per cent, greater than the crop of 1S74.

All money received by them over this amount must be con veyed into the couuty treasury. Two very destructive fires occurred at Little Rock, Ark. last week, and the better part of the city is in ashes. Supposed to be incendiary. A Mrs. Smith, at Hillsboro. III. aged 50 years, was burned to death last week by her clothing catching fire. Recently a farmer named L. S. Hill, living near Memphis, Tenn. was shot and killed by a desperado named Gaily Bond. Bond had been paying his attentions to Mr. Hill's daughter, aud visited Mr.. Hill's an hour before the shooting. After some conversa tion, he went off, saying that he would return in an hour. Bonu went to his own house, procured a rioubi'"- barreled e-hot-gun, returned to Mr. Hill's, and shot him through the door of his own house, firing five pistol balls through his body after he fell from the first shot. After seeing that his victim was down aud dead he seized tho young lady, actually dragging her over the dead body of her father, and carried her by force before a neighboring minister, de manding to be married to her. The girl refused, when Bond threatened to kit! her. The minister's wife call ed Bond's attention to the approach of a posse in pursuit of him. At this time some neighbors rode up to the minister's house, when tho young lady was takeu from her captor and locked up in a room secure from any possibility of his carrying out his threat to kill her. Bond had been riding all the night previous, and had so jaded his horse that he required another on which to make his escape. This he accomplished by deliberately shooting one of the horsemen, so wounding him that he fell from his horse, which he mounted and rode to the residence of Mr. Parsons, a few miles di-tunt, and made forcible ex change for a fine gray animal, on which he was last seen ridinir west ward toward the Mississippi River, making good his escape, so far, from all pursuers.

The National Publishing "Co. of Philadelphia and St. Louis, have is sued a handsome volume bearing the above title. The intense interest ev erywhere manifested in the great Ex liibitation, and the desiro to obtain a complete aud connected account of it, will unquestionably cause this book to have a very extensive sale.
