T LsSki - j- im THE ADVERTISER, THURSDAY, FEB. 21, 1878. No Pope elected yet. Chicago has packed 2.102,000 hogs this season. Gideon Welles, Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy is dead. We simultaneously exclaim. "Hur ray for the 'dollar of our dads!' " George O. Paschal, an eminent Tex as lawyer, died in Washington on the 16th inst. The Legislature of Kentucky has crectod the whipping post again In that State. The christains in Constantinople are the most protected set of people that we read of. The President has nominated Chas. McCandle8s. Esq., of Pennsylvania, for Chief Justice of New Mexico. Since, the English fleet has been permitted to approach Constantino ple, the war cloud has grown thinner. A New York telegram Bays the passage of the silver bill seems to have had no offeot whatever upon stock markets. .Ceremonies 'in honor of the deceas ed Pontiff" are still being held in thi9 country. The subject ceases to be interesting to us. Senator Jones of Nevada, Thursday last madeagreatspeech in favor of the Ulaud silver bill. It was a solid ar ray of logio and incontrovertible facts. The Chicago papers say the temper ance reformation still goes on in that city, and that a great work is being done where it does the most good among'real drunkards. c The Congress of the National Trot ting Association convened in New York on the 14th inst. Col. C. W. Woollcy of Cincinnati was elected president for the ensuing year. Ridicule and slang", doesn't answer well among reasoners. When these placed against the logic and powerful reasoning of Ingersoll or Beecher, the positions of atheism and hetrodoxy are strengthened. Nearly four months of Congress have parsed, and.yet but ten bills and resolutions, mostly unimportant, have been pnsB3d. Over four thousand bills have been offered, and over fifty of these on the question of finance. A Helena, Montana dispatch says "A rich ptriko has recently been made in Snowdrift mine, about twenty-two miles northwest of Helena. Fifteen hundred ounces, valued at 24,000, from the mine, is now on ex hibition. The vein is thirteen feet wide. The weather Is of the loveliest kind ; not a particle of snow has fall en here this winter." Gov. Packard doesn't say much about it, but he did say this much the other day : "If Senator Sherman has accurate ly and fairly stated the condition of :i flairs existing in New Orleans, I think it would have been vastly bet ter if T had been recognized as Gov ernor.' No doubt the President now thinks the same thing. The Albany Journal says: "The utterance of John Sherman and his associates on the conviction of Goner al Anderson Is a juat and moderate characterization of a most infamous proceeding." And then adds: "The one valid criticism is that it comes so late. Itlcomes after tlio deed is ac complished, when it might well have rung out on the initiation of this shameful and unscrupulous perform ance, u The Judge before whom the politi cal persecution, undercolor of law, is going on at New Orleans is declared by Secretary Sherman and other gov ernment officials, to be a defaulter to the government in over half a million dollars. A fitting man to serve the white league aud cater to their vindic tive and treacherous disposition. A Republican or any other loyal citizen would stand a poor show for justice in such a court. John Deshler who died at Colum bus, Ohio, on the 12th inst., bequeath ed to benevolent purposes as follows : $15,000 to the charitable board of the Presbyterian church, $25,000 to the Columbus Benevolent Society, $5,000 to the Orphan's Home at Hamilton, $45,000 and a family residence valued Ht $35,000 for the establishment of the Columbus Art Gallery, aud $100,000 for the building and support of the Columbus Laid Library aud lectures. The corpse of a lady by the name of Sirs Pittman was cremated at Wash ington, Pa., a few days ago, where there is a furnace for tho operation. It was in ever3' way satisfactory, and in reducing the body to ashes occupied only eighteen minutes. A dispatch regarding the matter says: "This experiment has convinced those in at tendance that cremation is the quick est, most economic and sanitary way of treating the dead." England's ships have gone into the Dardanelles, and England baa made n point. Instructions to the Admiral were to go in, and to Constantinople, bv force. ifitmustbeso;nndhewent, meeting no opposition save a protest from the Sultan. The Russians rriade this move of the English a pretext j for quartering a portion or us arm in tnscity. The Russians sajd they j roust eo into the city to protect the: flhriatinns. if the English went In. They want to see to it that the Eng lish barbarians do not pitch in and massacre Christian inhabitants. How very thoughtful and benevolent on the part of the Saintly Russians. The Administration is very indig nantover the prosecution of members of the returning board, and it is doing considerable talk that sounds well. Now we will see what will be done. Senator Matthews talks about the Nicholls government never having been recognized by the President, and hints that circumstances may arise that will justify the President in not recognizing it at all. We imagine Packard, backed by an army, march ing into New Orleans to be Governor, and Nicholls fleeing to the dens of the Kuklux for refuge. Butthatwill not work. The President has gone too far to retrace his steps. He may not have had occasion to recognize of ficially Mr. Nicholls as Governor, but he would have done so bad he had any business to transact with a Louis iana Governor. He appointed Mat thews and others a commission pur posely to go down there andsetNich olls up as Governor and it is too late to take it back now. He can't go back on his bantling though it be de veloping ugly parts and ungovern able traits. According to Secretary McCrary theiPresident is hoping for a "demonstration' on the part of the "better class of Democrats," to sus tain him and administer a severe re buke to the bad Democrats. But un fortunately there isn't any left of the President's Ideal Democrats down there. They are all dead and gone tojbeaven. It isn't healthy aboutNew Orleans for that kind of Democrats. We haven't any idea, therefore, what President Hayes will or can do to help his situation. The country is now looking for a letter from him re garding affairs at New Orleans. We hope it will indicate something more tangible than soft soap and palaver. Garfield got the floor, making as powerful a five minute speech as was ever heard in the House. He denied the story of a bargain and extolled the action of Southern Democrats, in defeating filibustering last winter, for their high and patriotic motives. Defended the Returning Board and denounced,theIr persecution. Special to the Inter Ocean. And Garfield cast pearl before swine when he extolled the Democrats In Congress "for their high and- patriot ic motives." Those Democrats who joined the Republicans to defeat fili bustering did so because they had as surance from some reliable source, that the soldiersshould be withdrawn1. from Louisiana and South Carolina, which involved a great gain a solid South to the Democratic party. And they never would havejlet the count proceed had they not had such assur ance. It is the greatest absurdity to say or suppose that the Democrats permitted the count to go on through "high and patriotieniotives." There Is no precedent in that party'B history to found such credit upon. The whole history of the party teaches us that when a question in Congress or in the Senate is between a Democrat and a Republican, the Democrats will un hesitatingly favor the former, even if honor and justice are outraged hj' so doing, to say nothing of patriotism. There ma3T have been no bargain, signed sealed and delivered, never the less there was a bargain, and to day some of the parties thereto aie manifesting their displeasure because cither parties violate the contract at their pleasure. Mr. Nobes who had oharge of the Wyoming prison birds last Saturday, related a rather humorous incident that occurred on the down trip. As they were Hearing Blue Springs the scene of the great robbery the cap tain of the Blue Springs gang com menced moving very nervously about in his seat. Tho conviot who was chained to him roused up from a drowsy slumber and inquired the rea son he was moving about so much. "Oh," replied the robber, "I can't sleep. I'm afraid some one will board tho train and rob me." Omaha Re publican. The same gang of prisoners were taken from Lincoln to the State peni tentiary on the Nebraska Railway. On the way down one of the prison ers, comforted himself by remarking, "My time will expire before we reach the prison at the rate of time this train is running." We learn from those who know, that Nebraska's Representative in Congress, Frank Weloh, is one of the most indefatigable members of that body always at work, and at his post. We have uot seen an instanoe but that he is at his post at roll call. We venture to say that Welch will never "dodge a vote." If we shall only succeed in getting Col. Mr.jors in, where he belongs, and of rightshould be, Nebraska would have "a whole team and a horse to let." Two young, able and indomitablo men would then represent us. We have reason to believe Majors' chance for admission is good. President Hayes now, of course, will promptly veto the silver bill, if for no other reason, to be consistent with his former acts and words on fi nancial questions, and especially the position he took in his annual mess age. A iauure 10 veto or an approval of the bill will demonstrate a most lamentable lack of nerve and con temptible backing down from an es tablished position. E. V. Smalley, of the Cleveland Herald, who was In New Orleans dur ing the Louisiana complications, speaking from a full knowledge of the consultations and negotiations which took place in New Orleans last spring says: The whole performance of prosecu ting the Returning Board members for their official action in canvassing the returns of the election in 1876 is the direct violation made to the Pres ident's commission last April by the Nicholls Legislature and by Govern or Nicholls himself. The Legislature passed-a resolution that no prosecu- lions should be begun on account of This J was expressly intended to apply to the Re tu miner Bouid members and to all the officials of the Packard gov ernment. Full convessatton on this point took place between the commis sioners and Governor Nicholls, Speak er Bush, Congressman Gibson, Major Burke, and other leaders of the Nich olls party, and the resolution was put through tho Legislature that it might be a matter of official record. It was, upon this understanding that the commission advised the Packard Lpr islatuve to consolidate with the rival body, and counseled Governor Pack ard to let bis fabric of government collapse. This is not at all surprising to Re publicans noone ought to be surpris ed atany treachery of Southern Dem ocrats. It goes to prove true what Republicans said from the beginning of the Haybs policy that the Nicholls government, the white league, would prove untrue to their promises, and that they ought never to have an op portunity to practice their treason. The members of the cabinet have been freely expressing their opinions regarding the prosecutions of the Re turning Board. Secretary McCrary said to a representatives of the Inter Ocean that in the Cabinet "There was no difference of opinion about the in justice of Anderson's conviction, and he regretted that the people of the South, and of Louisiana especially, did not denounce it as an outrage. The President's so-called policy, he said, was undergoing its severest test, and those who have had tho strong est faith in its wisdom would be com pelled to oonfesa their mistake, and abandon it as prematuro, if the spirit manifested in these prosecutions proves to be the spirit of the South. It is claimed that these prosecutions are set on foot by violent people, who want to excite the country and an noy the president, and that they are not sustained by the better olass of Democrats in the South. The Presi dent, however, is waiting anxiously for some demonstration on the part of this olass, the business men, who thought Democratic supremacy and cessation of political strife were neces sary to business "prosperity In the South, and from friends of good order and reconciliation in the true sense of the word, and until he see3 some such demonstration I am afraid he will be greatly discouraged. I think the President, with the heat of motives and patriotic intentions, at the risk of displeasing a majority of his party and his friends, started out lu his ad ministration with the tender of peace to the South and an effort for the re vival of good feeling'and burial of sec tional animosities that grew out of slavery and have not been quenched since the war, with the hope and ex pectation that his manifestations aud concessions would be responded to in a spirit as generous and cordial as that in which they were made. But it must be confessed that he has met with a great many discouragements so far, and the trial of Anderson, be fore a prejudiced and corrupt judge, by a packed aud partisan jury, has been the most discouraging thing of all." rvMfi Senator Stanley Matthews who Is as well qualified as any one to speak of the obligations Louisiana is under to the Prssideut, said : "It was especially unkind to the President, who had done everything he could in the most magnanimous manner to befriend the people of Lou isiana. Now they showed that he could not place any confidence in their protestations und assurances. Tliey had sorely and in a most, un grateful mauner disappointed hfm. Vhatever might be the results4,- they and not he would be responsible lor them." Senator Matthews said that when he was in Now Orleans with the other gentlemen, endeavoring to arrauge matters on an amicable basis, they said : "Oh, we don't care about Senators or Representatives, nor any of the political offices ; just give us a good local government, with peace and home rule, and we will restore good feeding aud protection within tiie borders of our State.'' "Now,' said he, "what do we see? Just as we have a right to expect a peaceful condition of affairs, the old spirit of sectionalism breaks out again, and the line is drawn just as it was after the war as soon as they are left to themselves." Here he repeated the forcible wish of Seoretary Sherman, that he had some strong power, even military if it could be used constitu tionally, to correct the conditiou of things in New Orleans. He said that such rules as General Sheridan and General Butler gave to them would be salutary, for they recognized their strong hand and the beneficial effects whioh flowed from their military rule. Mr. Matthews said: "The ef fect of this unjust and ungrateful con dition of affairs now presented at New OrJeaus would be to make it im possible for the President, or 'those who had been struggling to put be hind them all the bitterness and hate of the war evermore, hereafter to do anything for them, and this would go to the whole world. There .was one very serious consideration which might arise from this, as he saw from the public prints somewhere, and that was the question of the recogni tion of the State government of Lou isiana. Iu no act of his had the pres ident been called on to recognize of ficially the government of the State of Louisiana, though he had removed the troops aud left the people of the State to govern themselves under Governor NichollB. But in the well known case of the State of Rhode Is land, which is most generally quoted iujjoint of law as a parallel case, it wa's decided during the Dorr rebellion that the uot of the Senate and House of Representatives in admitting mem bers to their bodies was means where by it was decided what was the exist ing and legal government of a State and this too controlled the executive. Now it will be seeu." said he, "that the Senate of the United States ad mitted Kellogg, and thereby recog nized the Kellogg Legislature, while the Nicholls government had been al lowed passively to remain in force, though there was no official act of the executive recognizing it. While he did not advance anv theory on this head, there was." he said, "fruitful food for reflection in it in determin ing whether the present condition of affairs might tend." Senator Saunders has introduce a resolution in Congress providing for one representative from each State to the Paris Exposition. He is working hard for it, but will not succeed. There is not "sealing-wax and red ribbon" enoughjn Washington io go around to each State. any nolltical.acts in the past FROK LINCOLN. DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL. Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser. LINCOLN, February 17, 1878. The Nebraska State Agricultural Institute ooncluded its first week's labors 3'esterday. It meets in the State University building. The ses sion will continue during the present week. The meetings are held, daily and evenings. There has been a large attendance of representative men and minds from the various parts of the! State, and a very great interest evinced by all present. One or two prepared essays, or papers, are pre sented each day, whioh serveas texts, and are followed by discussions in which all present participate. The institution was opened with an ad dress by ex-Gov. Furnas of your plaoe, on the subject of "Fruit Grow ing an Important Faotor in the Pro ductive Characteristics of Nebraska. " There was presented an array of offi cial statistics and facts in relation to fruit growing in the country, whioh astonished and interested all who heard and read. The discussion on this topic occupied the Institute for nearly two days. The address of Gov. Furnas was followed by an able paper from Mr. Barnard, of Pawnee county, "Fruit Culture as a Financinl Enter prize." Also, an easay by Mr. Ray mond, of Otoe county, on "Grape Culture." The discussions following these papers embraced al! the small fruits. Prof. Collier, of the 8tate Universi ty, delivered to a large audience in the chapel, one evening, an illustra ted lecture on the "Lightning Rod." His lecture was exceedingly interest ing and instructive. Prof. Aughey, also of the University, presented two papers on the "Honey Bee." As an entomologist and botanist of experi ence and note, the Professor was at home on this subject. Prof. Thomp son, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, lectured on the "Use and Abuse of Farm Implements:." in which was shown a terrible. misuse arid abuse of farm implements in the State allowing thousands of .dollars worth to rot in fields annually, being left where they were last used until wanted the next season. MrLSInse baugh, of Otoe county, the king chicken man of tho west, presented "Poultry Raising for Profit" in such a clear and sensible mauner as to show raising of fowls has money in it when well followed. His net profits last year, he reports to be over two thousand dollars. C. S. Harrison, of York county read a paper on "Cattle Raising," in which that subject was well bandied. Prof. Bailey, of the University, lectured, and illustrated with microscope, "How Plants Grow" greatly to the edification of all pres ent. Chancellor Fairfield, in his usu al forcible manner, obly presented "The Claims of the Industrial De partment of the University." This is the first State xgricultural Institute held In Nebraska, and is proving a grand success. Prof. Cul bertson, superintendent of the College Farm, a graduate of our University, is the originator of the Institute, and deserves much credit. Mrs. Brooks, wife of the editor of the Omaha Daily Republican, lias been in constant at tendance as reporter of that paper. Her letters are regarded as models in the way of presenting all said and done in the least possible space. A greater attendance i9 looked for this week. Not much else going on here at present to particularly interest your readers. The weather is open and mild over head, but mud fearful under foot. The "oldest inhabitant" has never before known so much mud. Mud to the right, to the left, in front, in the rear, and beneath! Politics "buzz" a little about the ho tels and at the cnpitol offices. Under the present constitution all State offi cers must "step down'and out" at the expiration of their present terms, ex cept treasurer, and Gen. MoBride rather concludes he would rather run the Farmer than the treasury depart ment, or for Congress. Gov. Garber has made his arrangement to return to his old home at Red Cloud, and resume his mercantile business. Whether Weston wants to be Gov ernor or go to Congress "no fellow can tell." Tzscbuck would willingly step Into Garber's plaoe. But there are so many others who would "take some of that in there'n," that you can't tell who will be the lucky man, "unless you bet, and sometimes not not then."' Weston, Tzschuck. Reel- ick, O. F. Davis, late of the U. P. land department, Nance, present speaker of the House, Barton, of North Platte, ex-Gov. David Butler, and a host of others, would warm the gubernatlonal chair. Wolfe, of Sew ard, Tom Harlan of Harlan, and D. H. Wheeler of Cas3. might be in duced to act as Seoretary of State for one or two terms. Bartlett, who Iips been deputy treasurer for the past eight years, has a host of friends who would like to Bee him principal. For auditor, the "State of Beatrice" has uotyetbeen consulted. Griggs might be induced to throw up his Chem- nintz position, oome home and wear Weston's old shoes. But then. If Colby of Beatrice is to succeed Rob erts as attorney general, Griggs might not consider the thing certain, and would hold on to the German teat. There are several fellowB who want Frank Welch's place in Con gress. It is thought the Hitohcook issue will be made ou him. The best posted, however, think Frank will walk away with the baggage.. Pad dock is not giving the people of the State satisfaction on the silver ques tion. How he will Anally vote re mains to be seen. Stout is running the penitentiary to the satisfaction of all concerned. The new arrangement is a great sav ing to the State, and will, in the end, make something for the contractor. Let his enemies say what they may of Stout, he is a man of fine business qualifications, a fact every business man who comes in contact with him will concede. Richard. The SIlTer Bill.

The European War in Prophecy. The following from the Inter Ocean will be read with great interest and cause universal comment, surmise and speculation: In our daily issue of October 23, 1876 when there was a general belief tjiat war would be prevented by a coufer ei ceof the European powers, we gave in these columns a curious interpreta tion of the Scripture view of the troub le, which predicted that war would oertainly ensue. Last May we were called on to reprint the principal part of that article, in consequence of the remarkable fultillmentof the interpre tation given to the predictions in the eleventh chapter of Daniel, a9 repub lished from Mr. Baldwin's book en titled "Armageddon, or the United States in Prophecy." Since then the fulfillment has continued in the most extraordinary manner, even to the chronological succession of the pvents foretold and we are in rpceipt of fre quent inquiries from nur readers con cerning the matter. For the satisfac tion of these we will recapitulate the predictions to be verified in the near future. According to Mr. Baldwin's inter pretation, England will soon come against Russia like a whirlwind, with a mighty array of military, especialfy of naval strength, but will fail to pre vent the Czar's progress, who wiH cross over into Asia, and rapidly pos sess himself of all Turkey in that con tinent. With a great increase of his armies and his triumphs, he is to oc cupy Palestine as a'conqueror. Many countries are to be involved in his march of conquest, and Eygpt is to feel the pressure of his power. He is to be successful beyond the most san guine anticipations which he indulg ed at the beginning of the war. Va rious nations are to be so dazzled and overawed by his wonderful exploits and accumulating authority, that they will seek his friendship and place their military forces at his disposal. During his victorious career, he is to be profoundly disturbed and greatly enruged by insurrections or other forms of opposition, which he is to viait with the blind fury of blood re tribution and exterminating force. Before his end, he is to reconstitute the old Roman Empire in three con tinents, after which, puffed up with the arrogance of almost unlimited sovereignty, and goaded on hy an in satiable ambition, he is to assail the United States with a tremendous ar ray of military forces, drawn from many peoples und languages, but is to perish miserably, with his vast host, on a great plain between the At lantic and the Pacific Oceans. That event is to signal the down fall of thrones and the monarchy in all Eu rope. Such are the I iterpretations of Daniel's prophecy, as given in Mr. Baldwin's book. Prof. Riley, of the United StatesEn tomoiogical Commission, which has been investigating the locust plague, appeared before the appropriations committee of congress uud made an arguraentforan appropriation of $25, 000 to complete the locust investiga tion and to extend the scope of their inquiry to the Southern states ravag ed by the cotton und army worms. He asserted that the commission can obtain knowledge enough to counter act the loss from these two worms. Theannual Inesfrom the cotton worm alone Is $20,000,000. Prof. Riley stated that if the sum asked for should be granted, only a portion of it would be devoted to the completion of the Northern work. An Austrian paper estimates that at the time the Turks naked for nn ar mistice the allied forces of Russia, Roumania, and Servia numbered 340,000 men and the Turkish force 190, 000.
