The colored people held a mass

ator Morton. Addresses were deliver
ed by Fred Douglas, Pinchback, Rev.

Mr. Rice, of Ohio, chairman of the
House committee on pensions, will
iutorduce a bill for the transfer of the
pension bureau to the war department,
for the reason that all pensions grant
ed have to be approved by that de
partment. This appears to be a very
reasonable suggestion.
A bill for the remonitizatlon of sil
ver has passed the House, and will
soon be acted upon by the Senate,
which will no doubt pass the bill in
some shape, but the President, being
bo strongly In favor of a purely gold
currenoy, may veto any remonitiza
tlon hill if he thinks he can brave
the indignation of the people whioh
would follow such veto. It is the
opinion of Senator Stanley Matthews
that from this reason he will not ve
to the bill.
If oirs Paragraphs.
The people of Leslie, Mioh., talk of
building a grist-mill, the power to be
obtained from an artesian- well one
foot in diameter.
A colony of Danes have purchased
twenty thousand acres of land in Kos
eouth county Iowa.
A proposition has been introduced
in the Senate to establish a part of Da
kota under a territorial form of gov
ernment. The part containing the
Blaok Hills is the part designated
and the name will be Lincoln Terri
tory. The Times' Washington special
' eays the com crop of the Un ited States
is placed at over 1,350,000,000 bushels
annually, and of this amount only
60,000,000 bushels is exported. Mr.
Hewitt thinks if provisions be made
at the Paris Exposition to praoticaliy
illustrate the economio value of In
diau corn, it would tend very materi
ally to Increase its consumption in
European countries, and largely in
crease our annual export.
The smallest man of the West is
Commodore Dwiggins, of southern
Iowa, who Is twenty-three years of
age and measures only thirty-five in
ches in height. He was born in Iowa.
Another little fellow in that State is
Mr. Edward Orwig of Wapello, who
is forty inches high.
The name of Senator Morton's fam
ily was originally Throokmoi ton, and
their ancestry is traced to the Earl of
Throckmorton, in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. The Senator's father
dropped the first syllable of his sir
name, and the son adhered to the ex
ample. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad for the month of October
earned $329,530.74. For the same pe
riod last year the earnings were $335,
274.64. The farmers near Florence, Kansas;
are alarmed about their wheat. It
has grown so rank and tall that they
fear it will joint unless they have a
heavy frost.
The death of Senator Morton makeB
& difference of two in the Republican
majority in the Senate, as his success
or will be a demoorat. When this
successor is appointed and has taken
his seat, the Senate will stand 36 Re
publicans, 34 Democrats, 3 Independ
ents (Christiancy, Booth, and Davis),
with three seats contested.
If Eustis and Spofibrd are admitted
from Louisiana, and Butler from
South Carolina, the Democrats will
have 37 votes, the Republicans and
Independents together 39.
If Kellogg is admitted from Louisi
ana, as now seems probable, the Sen
ate will consist of 37 Republicans, 34
Democrats, and 3 Independents, with
two seats vacant. Booth and Chris
tiancy are likely to aot with the Re
publicans on all Important measures,
which will give the Republicans a
majority of four, counting Davis with
the opposition. Inter Ocean.
The fact that the Spanish authori
ties have introduced homestead meas
ures in Cuba has escaped comment in
thin oountrv. Soldiers of the armv.
volunteers against the insurgents,
and the insurgents wuo nave suo
mitted to the- government, are to be
granted portions of the government
lands. The recipients will be tenants
for three years, when, if the land is
properly cultivated, they become ab
solute owners, their lands to be ex
empt from taxation for five years.
This measure will do more to-end the
rebellion in Cuba than all the soldiers

Justice" Strong's Letter.
The New York Sun prints a letter
purportloug to have been written on
the 28th of February, by Justice
Strong, one of the members of the
electoral commission. This waB after
the descision in the Louisiana case.
The letter is as follows :
Washington, Feb. 28, 1877.
To Hon. George W. Jones:
My Dear Sir: I was a demoorat
when you and I were together In
Congress. I am a democrat now. I
hold to all the opinions the state
rights demoorats haVe always held
aud which the acknowledged laders
of the party have avowed up to the
present winter, never more clearly
than in 1873 to 1875.
I do not believe that Congress bos
any constitutional right to inquire in
to State elections for State electors.
Congress has of late years interfer
ed quite too much with the States.
Theelectoral commission has no more
power than Congress has, and I thiuk
it would be a most dangerous usurpa
tion were it to do what the States
alone have the right to do, even to
cure what I fear was a great wrong of
the Louisiana returning board.
I cannot doubt that such will be
youropinien when you reflect to what
the assertion of such a power would
lead. It would place the rights of the
States respecting the oholoe of electors
at the mercy of the federal govern
ment, and be the greatest strldo ever
made toward centralization.
Better suffer a present evil than
open such a door, better abandon the
time honored principles of the demo
cratic party. I am yours, very res
pectfully, W. Strong.
Judge Strong, when the question of
the constitutionality of the national
conscription act was before the Su
preme court of Pennsylvania, separ
ated himself from the democratic
members of the court and decided in
favor of the constitntionality of the
act. The same year he voted for the
republican oandidate for governor,
and 'Was for some years not regarded
as a democrat. When President
Grant called him to the supreme
court of the United States bis politi
cal and judicial record did not indi
cate that he wbb a States rights demo
crat. The declarations of the letter,
therefore, have oreated considerable
excitement in political circles. Inter
Ocean.
Church Howe is buried in Nemaha
county never to rise again. Let us
thank Providenoe there is a day of
retribution for such unprincipled
tricksters. Omaha Bee.

WAR NEWS.
REPULSE OF RUSSIANS.
Constantinople, Nov. 9. The
following telegram has been received
from Mukhtar Pasha:
Erzeroum, Nov. 9. Noon. At 4
this morning the Russians attacked
our fortified position at Azizle. Our
troops fighting with great valor re
pulsed them and pursued them four
or five ruilea from Erzeroum. The
.Russians were totally defeated. Our
trenches are filled with their dead.
Earlier advices received here at
Constantinople show that before this
success the situation at Erzeroum was
very oritical. Inhabitants demanded
the authorities should capitulate. It
is expected reinforcements have not
arrived, as communication with Tre
bizond was difficult. It is expected
combined operations will be attempt
ed by Osman, Mehemet, All and
Chevket Pashas, upon which the fate
of Plevna will depend.
The porte has determined to fight
to the bitter end.
BAD OUTLOOK FOR PLEVNA.
London, Nov. 9. The conviotlon
Ib strong that Plevna cannot hold out
many days. Osman Pasha's men are
deserting in large numbers on account
of privations and hardships.
The Russians have a field telegraph
line completely around Plevna, eo
they can concentrate immediately on
any point attacked.
Several of Mukhtar Pasha's officers
have been sentenced to be shot for
cowardice in the battle of the 5th.
The Indianapolis Journal states
that the appointment of Voorhees to
the United States Senate, was oppos
ed by the democraoy in the East, who
tried to induce Governor Hendricks to
accept the position. No tender of
the appointment was made to Hen
dricks, however. The Journal says :
"MrHendrick8 was too sharp a fox to
get bis tail in Tilden's trap. He there
fore, instructed Governor Williams to
commission Voorhees, and plainly
notified the officious wise men of the
East that he was managing his own
political future."
A bill has been introduced in the
House to admit women to practioe in
all courts of the United States.
POLITICAL GUERRILLAISM.
Old Nemaha Sets Her Foot Down oa
Anti-Republican Factionisra.
Special Correspondence Omaha Republican.
Brownville, Nov. 8, 1877.
The election is over, aud old Nema
ha county hua "redeemed herself."
There was less excitement than at
many elections heretafore. But acool,
culm delermiuutiou on the part of the
belter portion of voters republicans
aud democrats to put a foot on the
guerrilla system of running politics
which has preva'led lor some years
past in this c uuty. The entire repub
lican ticket is elected by majorities
ranging from 100 to 300, While this
county, ib as ever," strongly republi
can, this is really a victory of princi
ple over unprincipled faction. The
'Independent reform party," fa
miliarly known here as the "Church
Howe organization," has lived and
flourished only by an appeal to pas
sion and prejudice, and that based up
on misrepresentation and distortion.
Neighbor has been arrayed against
neighbor : locality agaiust locality ;
interest againsx interest, until In very
many instance the business affairs
and interests of the-county were seri
ously damaged. The judicious por
tion of both regular parties, took the
matter in hand at the recent election,
and cleared out the fraudulent organ
ization. Such democrats as Lett,
Broady, Plasters, Johnson. Bratton,
McComas and Rogers Joined, and vo
ted straight Republican tickets?, to
the end that hereafter, we may have
clean political contests, based on'priu
clple. The men elected are all first
class, and will give satisfaction to all
well wishers who have the interest of
the county at heart.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS
in this county never were so bright as
at present. The crops have been good
and farmers realize. fair.prices in cash.
Merchants are all doing a splendid
business, and on a cash basis. Real
estate is looking up. Sales have
amounted to over fifty thousand dol
lars within the past ninety days.
Quite a number of heavy eastern cap
italists are investing in both im
proved and unimproved real estate.
The fact is, the superior advantages of
the river Counties, in so many res
pects are being seen by those abroad,
and they are governing therapelves
accordingly. While no unfavorable
word need, or can be said against any
portion of Nebruska, there are natur
al advantages in the river counties,
not to be found in the interior or west
ern portion of the state.
BEAUTIFUL SNOW AND RAIN.
Snow fell here yesterday to the
depth of three or four iucbes the
first of the season. It fell quietly
melting nvay, giving the soil all its
benefits. The soil fall planting and
fruit never went into winter quart
era under more favorable circumatan
es. Small grain looks fine; fruit buds
well developed, and theyoung growth
well matured. The fall rains have
placed the soil in a fine condition to
guard against winter dying out. With
suoh condition of the soil at this seas
on of the year, no fears need be enter
tained of "winter killing" fruit or fall
grain. We have no winter weather
severe enough to kill trees. fruit or full
grain, when the soil is well saturated
with rain before freezing sets in any
where in Nebraska. Of this assertion,
those who have thoroughly tested and
experimented ohallenge successful
contradiction. Vidi.
St. Louis Billiard Tournament.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 8. In the
billiard tournament whioh is being
held at Mussay'a billiard rooms here,
Thomas Gallagher, champion of Ohio,
beat Anthony Hyser, or Indiana, to
night in a 50J-point French carom
game by a score of 500 to 74. Gallag
her's average was 27, 7, 18, which is
eaid to be the largest average on rec
ord for a 500-poiut game.
The corn crop of Illinois, this year,
is a study for tho political economist,
and a "bonauza" for the farmere.
The October report of the State De
partment of Agricultural show the
following facts: Number of acres

acre, 38 bushels, estimated total crop,
counting by the full average yield,.

The Demoorats have carried Penn
sylvania three times since 18G0. In
1862 the Democratic majority was 3.
524 ; In 1SG6 the majority was 922; in
1874 it was 4. 679. In the same time
Philadelphi has gone Democratic four
times twie.P in 1S67, 1S68, and for
Sheriff in 1S76. Inter Ocean.
A Paris special says : "The Journal
dea Debate states that many Bonapar
tist and Royalist Senators and Depu
ties have arrived in Paris, animated
with a spirit of resistance. They ad
vise the Marshal to make no conces
sion, nor even dissolve the Chambers
again. Their language leaves no
hope of a triumph on moderate
ideas."

"Old Ben Wade."
An Inter Ocean correspondent re
cently met this veuerable old patriot
and records a lengthy conversation he
had with him from which we copy
the following:
"I always aupposedyou were accus
tomed to swearing considerably until
I met you, Mr. Wade. You bave not
employed very bad luusuage during
the two interviews which 1 have baa
with you."
"The papers did not always tell the
truth about me as I have had occasion
to remark, but when I have sworn
men there was reason for it, 1 reckon.
Your speaking of my swearing re
minds me that I was said at one time
to have been drunk in the Senate
Chamber. Whatever bins I may have
been guilty of, intemperance was not
one of them. During the whole peri
od that I was in Washington I do not
remember to have been in a grocery
or saloon where liquor wus kept, aud
1 never used any intoxicating bever
ages, except it might be when I was
unwell. A temperance paper once
said I might be seen almost any day
staggeringabout the Senate Chamber.
It did not amount to much, perhaps,
but whenever people would read any
thing about me afterward they would
think, 'Oh ! that's that drunken
Wade.' I never oared anything for
liquor, so it was not muoh to my cred
it that I did not drink it." Tulking
further of the time he was in the Sen
ate. Mr. Wade related an interesting
account of the manner hi which he
was first called to the honorable posi
tion, while on the Judge's bench at
Akron, and he pointed with pride to
the fact that the office of Senator had
sought him for three Inner terms, and
that he had never sought the office.
When Urant became President, he met
Wade and encouraged him to ask for
a position of some prominence under
the new administration, intimating
that he was well entitled to one. Mr.
Wade stated that he desired no ofiice
thereafter, but hoped for a good and
uprijrht carrying on of the affairs of
the Government.
"You were sntisfied with Grant's
administration?" I asked.
"Yes, Bir," with deep empbasiB, "I
don't believe George Washington in
his time ever had a more honest and
upright administration than that of
Grant." He then referred In glowing
terms to the manner in which ex
PresidentGrant was conducting him
self while abroad, and said he consid
ered that he was entitled to all of the
honors that had been showered upon
h'im in England, and were now being
bestowed by France.
The Hon. Schuyler Colfax occasion
ally comes with his wife to visit the
latter's relatives in Andover, but. Mr.
Wade said, he was eeuerally too busy
to rpmain long. Mr. Colfax seemed
to like his present occupation, and to
continue pleased that he Is no longer
mixpd up In politics. "His nature
was more sensitive than mine," said
Mr. Wade, "and the unjust accusa
tions made against him wounded him
deeply."
I requested Mr. Wade to relate what
he knew, respecting the Grant-Sumner
affair which had been brought up
again lately, but he said lie would
nrefer to remain silent on that sub
ject. I did not press him further.
Neither Mr. Wade or your corres
nnndpnt had learned of Senator Mor
ton's death when our interview took
place, but Mr. Wade could not refrain
from eulogizing tho Senator, express
ing deep reeretat the loss that his de
cease would bring upon the country
and the republican party. "Would
there were more like Morton," seem
ed to lip Mr. Wade's heartfelt wish.
As Mr. Wade bid mo adieu, not
long after reaching Andover he grasp
ed my hand very warmly, and ex
pressed more fully than when T first
saw him. his appreciation of the Inter
Ocean. "I rocplve many newspapres"
was his last remark, "but there arp
nnnp that T value more highly than
the one which you represent."

Seizure of Cattle.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Six car loads of
oattle ehipped through by a Kansas
dealer without the food aud changes
which the law prescribes, were seized
by the United States marshal at
Washburn, 111., to-day, under the
statute.
No bill repealing the act, or the re
sumption partof the resumption act,
can become a law this winter. No
bill, lookingto the further contract
ion of green backs by any scheme. can
meet the approval of Congress or of
the people. There remains but one
course to remonetize silver and go
ahead. The only fact worth noticing
is the common demand for the prompt
passage of the remonetization act.

Our attention has been called to
some newand useful cooking utensils,
recently invented which make baking
and cooking a pleasure, Instead of a
dreaded necessity. One of which, the
Patent Ceutenuial Cake and Bread
Pan, made of Russia iron, is so con
structed that you can remove your
cake when baked, instantly from the
pan, without breaking or injuring it,
and you can remove the tube, and con
vert it into a plain bottom pan, for
baking jelly or plain cakes bread, eto
Another the Kitchen Gem a plated
wire boiler or steamer to hang inside
of an ordinary iron pot, for boiling or
steaming vegetables, etc., which
when done, can be removed perfectly
dry, without lifting the heavy, sooty
ron potoffof the stove, avoiding the
danger of burning the hands with the
steam in pouring off the hot water,
and the vegetables can not possibly
burn, if the water boils dry, as the
steamer does not touch the
bottom of the pot. These goods are
sold exclusively through agents to
families, and every housekeeper
should by all means have them. A
splendid oportunity is offered to soma
reliable lady or gentleman canvasser
of this county to secure the agency
for a pleasant and profitable business.
