vBBWys wm!ihji ijgaawwH iaslrS.-,: THE ADVERTISER. THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1877. '- ' -? The wife of ex-Senator Hitchcock died on the 1th IiiHt. in Omaha. The Russian army at this lime on the Danube, numbers 450,000 men. Tom Lorton, a former citizen of Ne braska City was recently killed by a train of cars backing over him at F4v nns, Colorado. The Pawnee Republican saj's Hon. A. S. Stewart left last Saturday for the Black Hills to take charge of the register's office at Sheridan. It is probably a fact that Pat O'Hcwcb has been appointed a special agent of the national Treasury de partment, headquarters at Chicago. Thus our solid (I ! J) men are stepping to the front, and civil service reform just bulges ahead. Let her rip. experience have taught us ought to be made more distinct. Tho Nebraska editor who can only afford tp print half of his pa per at home had better be hunting up local news than muddling his little brains about subjects regarding which btateumen are in doubt. 3'he Government steamer, J. D. Cameron, on the 18th, on the upper Missouri, run a snag into her bow and sunk in fourteen feet of water. Gov ernment froight worth $120,000 was lost. Crew and passeugera all saved. Gen. Miles was on the boat and lost $5,000. Senator Morton Is said to support the President in his Southern policy. We think he cannot give it an en thusiastic support, but Is willing to give It a fair trial, without obstruct ing, having at the same time little confidence in the promises of those Southern Demoorats whom the Presi dent has entrusted to make his policy a success. The New York Tiincs gives an ac count of and old lady, of Hackensack N. J., who had been deaf for a num ber of years, receiving her hearing during a recent thunder storm. Tho moment of her restoration Is thus dis cribed j On the evening of Sunday, April 20, abhower came up, und at about 10 o'clock it passed over Hackensack. The flashes of lightning were very vivid, and the the thunder had been heavy. Mrs. Quackeubush, who was somewhat nervous, was sitting up in her bed-room. An unusually sharp flash of lightning caused her to start up quickly from her chair. The thun der followed, and with thecrash Mrs. Quackenbubh felt a snapping in her ears, and as the reverberations of the thunder rolled away she was surprised and delighted to find that she could hear the ticking of the clock in her room, and soon after the noise of the family movingabouttho houEoand in conversation. Since that moment she has been able to converse easily with her friendp, and to enjoy the conver sation of others when carried on in a distinct manner, and not too far away from her. "The once Ex-Gov. Chamberlain has gone to New York to resido and engage in the practice of law. He was recently in terviewed with regard to the South Carolina situation. Ho Bpoke well of Governor Hampton, and said Hayes1 Southern policy is an experiment, the wisdom of which can only be known after it has been given a fair trial. Chamberlain is a very reasonable man. The Atlanta Conttituiion la a stiff Domocratlo paper, but it talks this way about tho Mississippi outrages : "The local press saw nothing in the recent dastardly butchery to condem ; the lo cal authorities did not think it best to arrest the blood-stained participants, and if Kemper county has been left to Itself no one would have been brought to justice for the perpetration of an as sault that baa horrified the entire county." The New Orleans Republican sheds n little light on the participation of the United States troopsln theNIcholls pa rade last week. The Republican says : "It is worthy of note that every ofllo er of tho army who participated in tho parade on Thursday in honor of the overthrow of Republican government In Louisiana ia a native of the South, and all of them wero appointed since the war. The companies that parad ed weroof tho Thirteenth Infantry De Trobrland's. All efforts to secure a representation in the line from eith er tho Third or Sixteenth regiments wero met with a prompt, but courte ous refusal. The New York Tribune says, Constitution is about to bo used more by the Demoorats as a soreen for pure cussedness.' They have already started the Inquiry whether or not it will be constitutional for Congress when It meets to appropriate money for the support of the army which the President has maintained In an un constitutional manner? They seem determined to disband the army and put the responsibility for thestep up on tho President. A sweet time they will have with that job". ries replied with better effect. The duel was vigorously maintained till thp Russians brought up columns of infantry as close as they dared to the fortifications, apparently intending, if possible, to take the place by storm. The Ottoman commander observing this, drew together a. large body of troops behind the ramparts, and launched a tremendous sortie upon the Russian flank and rear, under the shock of which many "were obliged to retrpat into a disadvantageous posi tion. A bloody engagement followed at close quarters, and at its termina tion the Russians were obliged to re treat beaten, leaving upon the field three hundred corpses and largo num bers of wounded. There was a slight encounter in the meantime between cavalry, butwithout special result. Roumania, on tho 20th inst., de clared her Independence and war on Turkey. A St. Petersburg dispatch says the bodies of ROOTurks have already been buried at Ardahan. Englieh officers are at Constantino ple actively engaged in surveying the defenses of tho city. It is generally understood by those who are stud3ing thestratagy of the war, that the Russians have no inten tion of crossing tho Danube at pres ent. SEWS SUM3IAIIY The administration is evidently In earnest on the subject of civil service reform. Lincoln Globe. We understand that neither Saun ders nor Paddock are responsible for Frost's appointment. He was recom mended and pushed through by a few influential friends. Lincoln Globe. If so much "in earnest" why not investigate and veto the pushing process? The Little Rock correspondent of the St. Louis Repuhlicaii quotes Gov. Garber, of Nebraska, as saying : "We tried reconstruction on the military plan and it gave trouble in stead of peace. Two months without bayonets have done more than ten years of bayonet." WAR NOTES. Ben. Butler Is a played-out politi pian. no couldn't rally a corporal's guard In any cause. Lincoln Globe. It seems that Ben. Butler is not eo badly "played-out" that he cannot rally sufficient force to keep himself In Congress most of the time. We always liked Ben. Butler for his abil ity, and being always in the right, but more than all for giving the she rebels of New Orleans to understand that if they wanted to be treated as decent women they must act as such. We no doubt take issue with the Globe in wishing there was a Ben. Butler in Congress for every rebel there. Governor Emery, of Utah, must be getting scared. He has written a let ter to the Secretary of War request ing Camp Douglas to be provided with Ave companies of infantry and two of cavalry j that Camp Cameron shall have two full companies of infantry ; that one infantry company shall be quartered at St. George ; that another shall be sent in the Cache valley, and that the company at Port Hall shall be retained and reinforced. Would suoh bayonet Intimidation be cansistent with "my Southern pol icy?" If, for the sako of "reconcili ation" and pence, tho lawful govern ment of Louisiana was permitted to be overturned by a usurper, why shouldn't the same policy for the same purpose work as well In Utah? Wonder what Stanley Matthews thinks about it. We shall never know what policy to "go in for" till we .bear from him and the Chicago Tribune. We don't know whether '.'capital and intelligence" should govern In Utah aa well as In Louisi ana or not. Probably not. A Nebraska paper asks us by a card pasted on an article marked, to '-please publish" a petition which em braces a lengthy bill, asking for alter ation of the Constitution 50 that Prepldents and U. S. Senators may be elected by direct votes of the people. "We respectfully decline to "publish" for a reason or two, the principal one of which is that we oan find matter for our columns whioh eults us better than such pretentious bosh. The bill Tnirrht rinxim haven't time to read it for the object prayed for It is long enough In all oonsoience but a dozen JJnes asking the necessary legislation for a obange or amendment of the constitution would be.better, and pos sibly some Senator or Congressman would be able to frame a bill suffici ently clear and intelligible for the case. And then we are rather of the opinion that the old way Is the best after all, and that all we need is some The Russians seem slow about tak ing Kars. They have been several times repulsed, but "malutain their position in the neighborhood." Six thousand Circassians recently joined the Turkish army as volun teers. Russians are about to establish headquarters at Cotroseni, which in dicates an expanding of Russian ope rations over an extended front. A million dollars worth of war mu nitions recently arrived at Constanti nople for the Turks, purchased in the U.S. Austria has received assurance that Servia will not take part in tho war. There is an authenticated report that a Roumanian vessel full of Rus sian soldiers has been sunk by the Turks. The Turks manifest great rejoicing and enthusiasm over their victory at Sukamkaloh, a Russian town on the Black Sea. A bad report comns regarding the Russians sacking and burning villa ges, killing tho old men and women and keeping tho young women to as suage their lust. They should not forget that they profess to beohastls ing the Truks for Christ's sake. A big fight at Batouru Is going on Batoum is on the east of tho Black Sea, in tho Turkish province of Kars, near the lino between the two empir es. On the ISth two attacks were made on the Turkish position at Ardahan, but the Russians wero repulsed In both. The Czar is going to the front. The Russians have been trying ex periments with Krupp shells fired In to the river. They succeeded in ex ploding them under the water, the fragments flying great distances. The Roumanians are so much in need of officers that they intend pre maturely to glvo grades to the first class of the military academy. London, May 19. Fivo vessels are loading at Wolwhioh with ordinance stores for Portsmouth, where a large supply of warlike material, barrack necessaries and camp furniture have been sent.

A resolution was adopted providing for extension of the church Into Great Britan and author izing appointment of a bishop. Governor Rice of Massachusetts has vetoed tho local option bill recently passed by tho legislature. Tho president after examining the charges and complaint against Gov. Potts, of Montana, and the answers thereto, has dismissed them. The facts of the case, as reported to the president by Gov. Potts, show that the attack grew out of personal mat ters entirely. Examination of every alleged official dorilection of Potts has led to his complete vindication. Secretary Sherman saj-s whatever Is done under the resumption aot will bo communicated the first of all to tho public.

A telegram says: In the Turkish village of Turkokal there is quito a Christian element, though subordi nate In numbers to the Turks. On tho night of the lGth tho Turks made a general attack upon the Christians. The males were put to the sword, and many of the elder women shared the consin and the Province of Ontar io. The Canadian fires are so exten sive that the terrible times of 1870 are anticipated. On the 14th the smoke was so dense in Ottawa, Out., that tho street lamps had to be lighted at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The 'Moliy Maguires" at Streator, LaSalle Co., 111., have been asserting their rights to be known as humau beings, by an attempt at wholesale poisoning.

Tho Slate of Georgia has sold the labor of the convicts In the State Pris on for $25,000 a year, which is at the rate of about eleven dollars a year for each convict.

One million fivo hundred and nine ty thousand two hundred and eighty dollars of greenbacks wero destroyed last month, by the the new Secretary of the United States Treasury. An English official -report on the Chinese" coolie traffic says that, of the more than one hundred and forty thousand Chinese who sailed for Cu ba, upward of sixty thousand died du ring the voyage. In the year 187G there were 1,154,027 births and 676,923 deaths registered in Great Britain aud Ireland.

A special to tho Sun from London says: Absorbing interest in Russian operations is for the moment trans ferred to, MiebMpIotntiac world Embold ened by his mumph in parliament and certain of support from the nation Disraeli i3 believed to be preparing to preeipitateEngland, joined by Austria into a confiiet with Russia. Diplo matic circles confess that England's participation is a foregone conclusion. Extraordinary preperation3 in arma ment of both land and naval forces are reported in all parts of tho kingdom. All home transports from distant colo nies aro under orders for troops. GREAT FLEETS OF TROOP SHIPS are preparing from all naval rendez vous. Prodigous accumulation of na val and military stores are on the route to Mediterranean stations. Or ders have been sent to India to mobil ize the Mussulman contingent. Un der these signs the markets have be come unsettled and corn, anticipating cavalry demands, has reached extreme prices. War measures are welcomed with enthusiasm among the great body of merchants whoso business is crippled by blookade of the Black Ee.i and cessation of traffio with that re gion. In English homes, even among ihe lower rauka a feeling of in teusehos tility against Russia Is marked. They charge upon the Czar's covetous am bition, hardships arising from rise in the price of bread, stagnation in busi ness, and without its advantages. England's interest will be the pretext, and THE FIRST RUSSIAN SUCCESS of magnitude the occasion for interven tion. That this will bo the end the best Informed men in parliament, the press and In public life, concur in de claring. Disraeli and officials of the government have been incessantly in cabinet council since tho defeat of Gladstone's peace resolutions. To make this defeat so signal their man agement contributed greatly. The war party press clamor for Instant pro tection of England's interests. The Russian nmbasador has gone home to warn the Czar of Impending danger. Couriers followed him In rapid succes sion with reports of the situation, which aro too compromising to be trusted to post or telegraph. A London dispatch sa3s : The slow advance of the Russian army of the Danube is caused by dip lomatic rather than by military consid erations. The Czar ia anxious to hold Austria in check by presenceon her frontier of half a million of men. Should this army pusli too rapidly acrops the Danube and into Balkans, Austria would bo free to attack the Russian rear and thus paralyze the campaign. In tho Russian camp it Is believed that England and Auptriaare joined in coalition to intervene sn soon as a decided Russian success shnll en danger the former's eastern and the latter'sDanubinn interests. 1SLAIXE OX ADAMS.

And thus ends one of the grandest farces that has been played in our country for years, and also another evidence that our system of Grand Ju ries is a humbug and ought to be abol ished. Mr. Bishop was no more guilty of murder than a year-old child, and yet bis enemies could go before the Grand Jury and have him indicted, thrown into jail, put to a deal of cost, deprived of his liberty, and all to gratify the petty spite of a few.

We haven't any policemen yes 10 ue euro, uui thfln. like Mrs. Caudle's coffin, whis tles are a handy thing to have In the house. The purohase, It strikes us is a little out of proportion a half-dozen balls and only six whistles. Now If the council had purchased three or four less balls they would have had mora money to expend In whistles, an idea that perhaps never entered their heads; but it la too late now.
