A welcome to the genial pair The blithesome Tom-and-Jerry. . - Omaha Republican. And then red eyes and crazy brain To. whom, of such swill do partake. And curses on that ugly twain . The infernal bead-and-heart-ache. The Republicans of the U. S. Senate aud the President, notwithstanding their recentinterview and interchange of thought and opinions, are not har monious by any means. An Inter Ocean correspondent thinks, howev er, "there will be no open fight be tween the Senate and the President, but there will be considerable skirm ishing." When the Russians captured Kars 309 cannon, amunition, and 10.000 prisoners fell into their hands; and in addition to these losses the Turks lost 5.000 in killed. The fall of Kars was of vital Importance to the Turks, and if the Russians make no serious blunders the war will soon terminate. It is reported that Osman Pasha is now entertaining propositions for the surrender of Plevna. The surrender of Erzeroum has been demanded, but Muktahr Pasha declines and says he will hold the situation as long as pos sible. The letter on "Silver aud gold dol lars," of the venerable old Albany ed itor, Thurlow Weed, which we print on our fourth page ths week, is cer tainly chock full of good sound sense and Incontrovertible reasoning. It is provoking that our law makers hesi tate at all to right the great wrong done when the silver dollar was de monetized, now that this act of right and justice is demanded by the peo ple of two-thirds of the Republic. "Our specie basis should be as broad as possible," says Mr. Weed, aud who doubts it but the Rothschilds, and their agents in this coup try. On Monday the Senate resumed consideration of Mr. Thurman's mo tion to discharge the election com mittee on South Carolina Butler's case, and continued in session twenty eight houra, the Republicans fighting the vote off" as long as possible by par liamentary tactics. But at the end of that time the motion prevailed by a vote of 29 to 27. Conover and Patter son, the two .Republican renegades voted constantly with the Democrats. Mr. Thurman then moved to swear in Mr. Butler, but under the rules of the Senate the motion was ruled out of order, and the question was post poned for a day. There is no doubt that Butler will be admitted when the matter is again called up, and this will add andther vote against the ad- mission of Kellogg. On Thursday last the Democrats in the U. S. Senate, the first time with in the past sixteen years, controlled the Senate. This vras brought about by the absence of Sharon, of Nevada j and the desertion of Conover, of Flo I rada, and Patterson of South Carolina to the Demooralio eide. Tb'e Demo crats perceiving the weakness of the Republicans, made a move to admit M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, who is infamously known as 'Hamburg Butler, the nigger killer." On sev eral votes the Democrats won by one and two majority. Finally, before the iniquity was consummated, the Republicans moved to adjourn to Monday, and Patterson not voting and Conover voting with the Republicans, made the vote a tie 30 to 30. The decision then falling upon the Vice President, he of j course, cast his vote with the Republi cans and the Senate btood adjourned until Monday. The Gold Shyloeks. The gold shylocks are playing a new dodge in opposition to the effort made to remouetize t-ilver. They are "appealing to sympathy" pleading "baby act," "poverty," or whatever else one may be pleased to terra it. The speech of Garfield is claimed by them to be the "clincher." One of the strong points claimed for his speech, is his statement that he has traveled through bis Congressional District, and finds "tbe greater pro portion of National Bonds held by poor people, widows and orphans," and asks : "Shall this class of people sutler?" All that need be said in re ply to such billy appeals, is, that Garfield's "widows aud orphans' are a fortunate and favored class of "poor people," being so circumstanced as to be holders of Government Bonds free from taxation, and interest paid promptly in gold and silver. A few of the. pioducers of the west they who furnish, corn, wheat, beef and such, for the poor bondholders east, would cheerfully, and without com Llaiut, undergo such "pains and pen alties." Who proposes that the bondholder.- shall Buffer, or their legitimate, busi ness be in the least interfered with ? That class of eastern poor people" need not be alarmed. The bonds are good, and both interest and priucipal will be paid promptly in accordance with stipulations of contract. What more do they desire or expect? Such bonds as Government has agreed to pay In gold and silver will be paid in that kind of money. When these bonds were issued aud purchased, at from forty to sixty cents on the dol lar, and made exempt from taxation at that, a silver dollar was worth three cents more thau a gold dollar, simply because not interfered with by Con gressional enactment. Let Congrebs demonetize gold by the passage of un act to that efiect, aud see how soon gold would stand at 92 cents, and sil ver at 100 cents the exact reverse of their relations at present. If to pay National bonds to-day in silver is a fraud upon the people, or holders thereof, it was a fraud to so promise when the contracts were made. The purchaser of bonds dealt with the Government understand ingly with their eyes open. All the friends of silver now desire, or propose, is to re store it to the position it occupied when these contracts were made. Suppose gold should become "abun dant and cheap," as silver is now spoken of, what would the Wall Street money-grabbers, aud oppress ors of the industries of the country, do for a "standard of values?" Before the issue of greenbacks, or National Bank Bills, when banking was done on what was called a coin basis, the people lost more money ten -jo oue than by all depreciated currency the Government ever issued, even taking into account buugling criminal Congressional enactments tending to that end. V On the 23d ult. Congress passed a bill repealing the resumption law. Tbe following is a text of the bill as passed: A bill to repeal all that part of the act approved January 14th, 1875, known as the resumption act, which authorizes the secretary of the treas ury to dispose of the United States bonds and redeem aud cancel green back currency. That all that portion of the act approved January 14, 1&72, entitled "An act to provide for. re sumption of specie payments," which reads as follows, to-wit: "And whenever and so often as circulating notes shall be issued to any such banking association, so increasing its capital or circulating notes, or so new ly organized as aforesaid, it shall be the dutj of the secretary of the treas ury to redeem legal tender United States notes in excess only of $300, 000,000 to the amount of SO per cent, of the sum of national bank notes so issued to any such banking associa tion as aforesaid, nnd to continue such redemption as such circulating notes are issued until there shall be out standing the sum of $300,000,000 of such legal tender United States notes, and no more, and on and after the 1st day of January, 1S79, the secretary of the treasury shall redeem In coin United States legal tender notes then outstanding on their presentation for redemption at the office of the assist ant treasurer of the United States, In the city of New York, in sums not less that fifty dollars, and to enable the secretary of the treasury to prepare and provide for redemption in this act authorized orrequired, he is authoriz ed to use any surplus revenues from time to time in the treasury not oth erwise appropriated, and to issue, sell and dispose of at not less than par in coin.eitherof the description of bonds of the United States described in the act of Congress, approved July 11, 1875, entitled 'An aot to authorize re funding of the national debt with like qualities, privileges and exemp tions, to an extent necessary to carry this act into effect, and use the pro ceeds thereof for the purpose afore said," be and the same is hereby re pealed. The bill now goes into the Senate, where it will have a harder time in getting through. And if It ever gets into the hands of the President he will veto It, for he "will take no step backwards," or words to that effect. . Miss Ettie Howard, of Johnson county, Mo., having a misunder standing with her lover, took a dose of Btrycbnine and died on the 24th. She was about seventeen. An Incendiary's Dying Confession. James T. Howell, our city marshal, and H. N. Ives, city Marshal of Oqnawka, Illinois, went to Craig, on Monday, and arrested James Wells on a cnarge oi inceaiansm aim muruerj cnid to have been committed in ( Iveithsburir. Illinois seven vears neo. i A barn was consumed and two young i men burned to death. Wells was in j Kansas some time ago, quite sick, and toiu iii it wnen lie luuugut ut- ua j;u ing to die. He re.covered and went toBijrelow. and thence to Craig. The matter leaked out ahout the confes sion and the authorities have been on the lookout for him ever since. He will be taken to Illinois for trial. Holt County Mo.) Sentinel. This is believed to be the same Wells who stabbed marshal Camp bell, in 1875, and laid in the jail until the spring of 1876. His name howev er, as he gave it here, was Thomas Well?. We feel quite sure that tbe World is right about our having the next President. With asolidSouth.wecan not fail of a grand triumph in our next Presidential election. Pennsylvania has wheeled into line, aud the state of New York is sure to remain Democrat ic. With such bright prospects before us, the Democracy should be immov ably firm, and raise their banner high. Dakota City Eagle. Aud thus do Democracy cherish fond anticipations for the future re sults of "our Southern nolicy." And well tbey may. Mankind are prone to credit the millionaire with all that is good and great. While Cornelius Vauderbilt died reputed worth an hundred mil lion dollars, no man of note in any re spect, left fewer friends behind. Even his own children are now engaged defaming his character charging all "the crimes known to the Deca logue." t& i o Sylvester F. Wilson, who once pub lished "the smartest paper In the west," at Humboldt, Richardson county, Nebraska, aud who made $50,000 as a railroad ticket "scalper" during the centennial, has come to grief at Camden, New Jersey, on a charge of forging railroad passes. He Is under arrest, and held for trial. CRIMES AXI) CASULTIES. Three children were recently burn ed to death at Norfolk, Va., in a burn lug building. Michael M. Landes, living twelve miles south of Warsaw, Ind., com mitted suicide, by hanging with a halter strap, on the 18th inst. In Philadelphia, on the 20th, a wo man, seated in a church, was Bhot in the back by her husband from whom she had been separated for two years. The wouud is probably fatal. On Sunday night of last week a burglar attempted to rob the post of fice at Grafton Station, Ohio. Chaa. Allen, u young man who slept in the office, fired at the burglar, and the latter returned the fire, fatally wound ing Allen, who has since died. The burglar escaped. At Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the 21st, Charlie Carter, a noted three-card monte capper and sneak-thief, was arrested by Depot Policeman, Jordan, for stealing an overcoat out of the oars On his attempting to escape, Jordan shot him with probably fatal effect. A. S. Johnson, a cattle dealer living near Madison, Wis., was interviewed by highwaymen on the night of the loth, and relieved of $2 000. A farm hand in the employ of Mr. Hadtield, in Burr Oak township, Mitch Jl county, Iowa, was fooling with a revolver, a few days ago, and snapping percussion caps at his com panions. Mrs. Hadfield remonstrated with him on his foolishness, when he turned the weapon toward her, play fully saying he would shoot her. Not withstanding her protest he snapped the cap and a loaded barrel went off. the ball taking effect in her side, in flicting probably fatal wounds. The Qlobe-DemocraVs Booneville special says: George Staples, living near Versailles, Morgan County, Mo., came home drunk Sunday night, quarreled with his daughter-in-law, and finally knocked her down and kicked her. George Staples, Jr., her husband, interfered, and his father attempted to shoot him, but the son wrenched the pistol from his father's hands and put three balls into his breast, killing him instantly. The post office at Grand Island, Neb., was robbed last week of several hundred dollars in cash and $500 worth of stamped envelopes. The City Treasurer of Covington, Ky., William G. Stone, is reported to be a defaulter to the amount of $10, 000. At Terre Haute Ind., a kerosene lamp exploded, burning Miss Mary Tarelly fatally. At Waverly, Iowa, on the 21st, two children, sous of Charles Older, were playing together,- when the youngest, aged 4 j'ears, struck the other, aged 11 year, with a stick of wood on the side of his head, causing almost instanta neous death. At Detroit, Mich., one day la9t week, Michael Kane, while walking on the track of the Miohigan Central Railroad, on which he was employed, stepped in a.frog near the Junction, and, before he could extricate himself was killed by tbe train. Near Prairleton. Ind, on the 21st, Mrs. Mattox, aged 67 years, was burn ed to death by falling into the fire place, while being left alone. At Warsaw, Ind., on the. 21st, Lib bie Jaques dropped a lamp filled with rose oil, while in the act of lifting it from the chandelier, setting her cloth es on fire and burning her about the face and cheat so badly that life is de spaired of. Her father, O. P. Jaques, in trying to remove tho burning clothes from his daughter, burned his hands so badly that it is thought he will lose both of them. Miss Jaques 19 years old.- Near Claypool, Ind., on the 21st, while threshing with aeteam threBh- er at farmer Bears', the boiler explod ed and killed Gideon Hartung. an unmarried man, 28 yeas of ace. No other person was injured. Scarcity of water in the boiler was 1 the cause. Miscellaneous Notes. The Secretary of the Treasury has Issued a circular letter of instructions to collectors of customs, directing, In view of the fact that the cattle disease exists in various parts of Europe, that no hides shall be admitted in ports of United States from Europe, unless accompanied by couusular cer tificates declaring they are not infest ed. A Rome (Italy) telegram of the 7th says the Pope will issue his letters re establishing the Catholic hierarchy in Scotland, on Christmas Day. The Eldorado (Kan.) Press tells of a ca9tor bean plant which is 13 feet high and branches like an elm tree. A Mr. Mclntyre, of Jasper town sjiip, Adams county Iowa, while out on tbe prairie recently, was chased home by a wolf, a.fid he had barely reached his housewhen a pack of half a dozen or more b'ungry animals sur rounded it and sst up their howling, bringing to th& minds of the occupants the many weird wolf stories of the early settlements.

Kokomo, Ind., has a musical prodi gya little girl ten years of age. She reads difficult music rapidly and cor rectly, and plays well on the violin. She led the orchestra in the opera house for the last performance" there. Rat hunts are all the rage in Greene County, Ohio, and the people want the legislature to authoiize the pay ment of 10 cents for each rat slaugh tered. Canada barley raisers report the bar ley crop good, but the color of the graiu is dark. Almost all their ex portof barley and rye is to the. United States, and they fear that the temper ance movement here will depress Canadian agricultural interests, as their customers are brewers. Hog cholera is raging to a frightful extent in Stejhen6on county, 111. Hundreds of hogs are dying every day. It has also made its appearance in Freeport. Timothy hay is now beiug carried by rail to Boston from stations forty miles west of Chicago. The freight is $S0 a car load, and shippers are ordi narily able to stow nine tons of press ed hay in a car. Sixty thousand pound of dried fruit have been shipped this season from Whitesburg Term.

The vote at our recent state election is now canvassed with the exception of Cuming and Dawson counties, whose votes are not yet in. The vote for supremo judge stands (Cuming and Dawson excepted): Geo. B. Lake 23.99S John D. Howe l5.uSi Lake's Majority 13.915 Scattering 716 The vote for regents stand : C. A. Holmes .... 29.069 N. R. Peluger .23,307 J. II. Grimm 6,915 Ii. U. Uass 0.330 Scattering 2,417 The Republican's estimate a week or two before the election of Lake's majority is more than verified. We claimed for him from eight to -ten thousand majority ; he received over all (scattering included) 13,199 major ity. We congratulate the republican party on a victory so pronouueed and decisive, in the face of independent and democratic opposition and of bolting factionism within our ranks. Thirteen thousand majority will do forsuch an awful off-year as this year of Disgrace Eighteen Hundred and Seventy-seven. What do the Lincoln Journal and Globe and the Omaha Bee think of the result? We pause for a reply. Omaha Bepublican. Taxes on Editorial Faith. One of the greatest trials of the newspaper profession is that its mem bers are compelled to bee more of the shame of the world than any other profession. Through every newspa per office, day after day, go all the weaknesses of tbe world ; all the van ities that want to be puffed ; all the revenges that want to be reaped ; all the mistakes that waut to be correct ed ; all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent ; all the mean neus that wants to get its wares no ticed gratis in the editorial column, in order to save tbe tax in the adver tising columns; all the men who want to be set right who were never right; all tbe crackbrained philoso phers with stories as long as their hair, aud as gloomy as their finger nails in mourning because bereft of soap; all the bores who come to stay five minutes, but talk five hours. Through the editorial an reportorlal rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen, day after day; and the temptation Is to believe in neith er God, man, nor woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession there are some skeptical men ; I only wonder that journalists believe any thing. Talmage. England's Wheat Snpply. The latest information we have of the British wheat supply is obtained from an article compiled from a recent issue of the Loudon Times. The au- tlinr nr Itin nrriclo iu tmilinoil in iiio! belief that there will be au unusually large call from the United Kingdom for wheat during the coming year, aud that it will have to be supplied mainly from the United Slates. He rsays that the amount of wheat requir ed by the United ivmgdom for the year 1877-8, on the basis of a popula tion of 33,750,000, and an uverage con sumption of 51 bushels by each per son, will be 23208,382 quarters, about 185,000,000 bushels. Of this amount it in thought that the outside limit which can be supplied at home is 80, 000,000 bushels, leaving 105,000.000 bushels to be procured from else where. The total amount Imported into the United Kingdom in 1876-7 was obout 95,000,000. The writer also calls special attention to the fact that there is but little probability of procuring wheat from Russia, that country do ing well if it can supply its home de mand. This fact will drive the Con tinental nations, who usually buy of Russia, to look for their supplies to Australia and the United Stales. At the present time it is said that the United States Is sending 500.000 bush els of wheat weekly to the Continent of Europe. These facts, the Times1 writer thinks, indicate that the pres ent prices, if not too low. are decided ly not too high. The present aver age price of wheat In Great Britain is $1.65. and the ceneral conclusion of the article, from whioh we have drawn these figures, is that it is like ly to go higher rather than lower. ECHOES OF THE EARTHQUAKE. From its Jionlieastern Nebraska Home Ponca Journal. John H. Armstrong, ofSouth Creek, states that the earth quake broke and tore up a large portion of his farm. Level ground was chawed into ravines ravines were filled up, and dry land was transformed into mud, with pools of water, unfatnoiuable, incompre hensible, and by reason of their sul phurous smell, diabolical and abomi nable. Mr. Simpson, of Ionia, was inform ed by Rev. Mr. Hutchinson that at Daily Branch the earthquake was very violent. The shock thew up about an acre of ground near Mr. H.'s residence which settled back in a very demoralized condition. At thai spot there are now several gaysers, or boiling springs. Since the earthquake, we have not heard what the effect was on the Ion ia volcano. Whether it increases the spouting, or whether it is dried up by the operation, we have not heard. It is rumored that the shaking of the earth has opened a crevice near the volcano which emits sulphurous fumes. Drunkenness in the Army. General Sherman has issued a gen eral order from headquarters of the army in which he says the president is much concerned to find before luui for action proceedings, of court mar tials in several cases where officers have beeu tried for violation of the thirty-eighth article of war, .which provides that an officer found drunk on duty shall be dismissed from the "fervico Thft pr?etlit rfpirca it to be known to tho arm that he cannot be led to underrate the magnitude of the evil of which the crime alluded to is likely to produce in the public ser vice. No person addicted to it can expect to be entrusted with any re sponsible duty, as a person who can not be trusted had better not be con tinued in office. It must therefore be understood that any clemency which may have been heretofore extended by mitigation or commutation of sen tence cannot hereafter be relied upon as a hash of hope for like favorable action. After this solemn warning a vigorous execution of pentences im posed in due course by court martial may be expected. Doscn't Think the Policy Paid. The Republican party of tbe South which gave 900.000 votes for Ruther ford B. Hayes only a year ago, has no lougerau existence. It is as mute and silent as the grave. For long and bloody years It had bravely withstood midnight murder and noon-day mas sacre. Ostracised socially, subjected to every keen discouragement, it brav ed the storm and maintained its or ganization until Mr. Stanley Mat thews discovered that a cause worth fighting for was inconvenient to the bystanders. Now, we ask, what has been gained to the country, to its military prestige, to its financial hon or, to its reputation to a wise and sin cere purpose to pay its debts, to any thing that redounds to the National credit. The surrender in Louisiana and South Carolina has resulted only in a solid South, and the assaults up on the army, on the resumption of specie payments, and upon the value of the government promises to pay, find their surest buttress of vantage in the first grand surrender eneineer ed by Stanley Matthewp. Newark Advertiser. The Sultan to Treat With the Czar. London, November 26. A special from Constantinople says tbe sultan has expressed his determination to treat with the czar. He abandons all idea of applying to any foreign power for mediation. STRONG DESIRE FOR PEACE. A special from 8t. Petersburg says that Russian newspapers profess strong desire for peace. There is much talk of direct negotiation with the porte, and such sentiment are said to be growing otrouger daily- By a private letter from Beatrice welearn that the majority of the tick et which was backed by Paddock's influence (whether directly or indi rectly, wekuownot) was badly scoop ed at the recentelection In Gage coun ty. "Straws show which way the wind blows." Lincoln Globe. It looks to a distracted party as though the Globe is getting considera ble out of its way to'throw a little dirt at the Senator from Beatrice. Possi bly it is throwing oOt a few cautious feelers In order to sound the Senatori al financial pulse and make a raise. Come to think of it that must be it. Beatrice Express. Our cities are crowded with men only partially employed, their wives in poor tenement bouses without com forts, sickly children breathing death in the ill-ventilated rooms, and yet tbe government has millions of acres to give to actual settlers. Last month, October, according to the Land Office, thirty-five all told took homeB. Hon est industry upon any of the fertile valleys of tbe "West will bring a re ward. Why should a man crowd in to a city and live upon the "poorest, when he can breathe tbe fresh air of tbe prairies and feed like a king ? Inter Ocean. The times not only seem hard, b thpv arp. Yet in comparison with nrpvions exnerience many a farm unjustly complains. In many parts of the country, less than twenty-five years ago, the farmer was compelled to spend a week in getting a load of grain to market, and when he got there, he was paid in money that was worthless by the time he got home. These are betfpr times than those times were. Western liural. TheLondon Daily Telegraph claims to have had. during tho noptmimmer, an averaee circulation of 245.215 cop ies per day.
