The President on Thursday last re
turned the silver bill, with his veto
message, to the House, in which it
originated. The Houso promptly
passed the bill over his teto, and the
Senate did the same. Congressman
Welch and Senators Paddock and
Saunders, voted to pass the bill not
withstanding the veto of the Presi

198 for and 73 against. Iu the Senate.
46 for and 19 against. The silver dol
lar question is now settled for a while,
and Secretary Sherman has gone to
work to carry out the provisions of
the law, as energetically as if he had
favored it, just as any good officer
should do.
Universal suffrage can, if It likes,
repudiate the whole debt; it can, if it
likes, decree soft soap to be currency.
ZouisviUe Courier Journal.
NaBte quotes the above to point one
of his cartoons, which usually aro so
forcible. But the force of this is not
perceptible. It misses the silver ques
tion and everything connected there
with eutirely, for the country never
contracted to pay any of its debts iu
soft soap, but it did promise coin eith
er silver or gold. Uuiversal suffrage
js honest, right aud powerful, and
cannot be gainsaid, and if it 'decrees
doft soap to be currency, it will be so,
and the ourreucy will be good because
backed by universal suffrage. If the
Courier Journal man, or Naste, or
anybody else do not like the decrees
of universal suffrage they had better
emigrate.
The most useful temperance people,
the best advocates of temperance, are
those who labor to preveut the forma
tion of intemperate habits. The men
and womea who educate their chil
dren to the belief thatdrinking intox
icating liquors Is disgraceful are very
good temparanco people, the best
there is. Blair Pilot.
Parents who' thus educate their
children perform their duty and a,
good work; but they are.not the
"most useful temperance people,"
First in the ranks of temperance peo-t
tolbare those -bo labor to save the;
"man long after the parantal voice Is
huehed and the lessons of childhood
'.dimmed or forgotten to save the
drunkard who had not the advantages
of parantal guidance into peaceful
and sober paths whose examples
were vicious and whose lessons point
ed to the grog hop. The futher and
mother who teach their son that dls
hoijor is the end of the drunkard, do
a high duty, but the philanthropist
who goes out into the highways of
vice, finds out those who have disre
garded temperance lessons of their
boyhood days, and saves them, must
not be accounted second to anj' of the
great souled who go about doing good.
The Stale Journal, published at
Lincoln, Nebraska, invites the ill will
of the old soldiers of the Mexican war.
It bitterly opposes .the passage of a
law granting them pensions. It sayn
Mexican soldiers did not engage in
that war through patriotic motives,
but were a lot of adventurers or dis
honorable men flying from crimes or
debts, and should therefore receive no
such honorable recognition from gov
ernment in their declining years, as a
pension. The editor of the Journal
judges others by himself, and men
tions the fact that he was a soldier
once but not in the Mexican war, and
doubtless drew his conclusions and
passes judgment from a comparison of
the motives that induced him to be a
soldier, witn the motives of those who
braved the hardships of a tropical war
thirty-two years ago.
We scorn the bigoted censorship of
the Journal, and denounce its uncall
ed for and ungenerous comments and
conclusions as false and slanderous.
Braver or more patriotic armies never
manialed on any battle fields than
those who carried the Stars and
Stripes to victory and vindicated the
honor and arms of the United
States, at Buena Viatsi and Monterey,
under Taylor, and at Vera Cruz, Cer
ogordo, Chepultepec, Cherubusoo and
Mexico City, under Scott, and plant
ed the old flag on a territory now the
most wealth-producing of our vast
domain. But he, who was a puling
infant when these great events were
taking place, cooly denounces the
idea of recognizing Mexican War sol
diers on an equality with veterans of
other wars, because, forsooth, they
were adventurers or criminals. We
hope Congress and the people have a
better opinion of Veterans of the Mex
ican war than has the editor of the
Journal.
A female preacher known as "Wid
ow Van Cott," slings mud at Col. In

with a stinging but very appropriate
retort one that should bliame her in

concerned. The following is the
.whole matter:
Buffalo, Feb. 24. Widow Van
Colt, the revivalist, in an interview
in tlie Sunday Hews to-day, called
Col. R. G. Ingersoll "a poor barking
doc" He retorted by the following
letter:
Buffalo. Feb. 24. Mrs. Van Cott.
My Deak Madam: Were you con
strained by the love of Christ to call a
man who never injured you "a poor
barking dog?" Did you make this
remark as a Christian lady ? Did you
pay these words to illustrate in some
faint degree the refining influence up
on women of the reliuinn you preach?
What would you think of me if I
should retort, usiug your language,
changing only the sex of the last
word?
I have the honor to remain
Yours truly, R. G. Ingersoll.
Col. Ingersoll could not allow him
self, heing a gentleman, to retort in
kind, by naming her as "a poor bark
ing bitch," but it would have been
just as modest and elegant had he
done so as is Mrs. Van Cott's vulgar
epithet.

LlXCOLN correspondence;
Further From the Farmers' Institute
Things About the Capital in
General.
Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
Lincoln, March 2d, 1S78.
The Neh'raeka State Farmers' Insti
which was iu session for two weeks iu
this city, closed its labors last week.
It has been a complete success. Men
and women interested in agriculture,
horticulture, forestry, stock raising
and other kindreds, from all parts of
the State, have been in attendance.
One of the admirable aud beneficial
features of this first State Institute
has been, that there was a hearty and
co-operative blending of the practical
and scientific. The practical and
working farmer was present with his
experiments and results, and the sci
entist to furnish the reasons, or prin
ciples. This meeting of the tillers of
the soil and the Professors of the Uni
versity and Agricultural Coliege, has
been productive of great good In more
respects than one. The parties hfve
become acquainted; a good feeling
exists, and as a result, a determina
tion is formed to unitedly labor for
the development of our highly nature
favored region.
During the present week the ques
tion of the various grains, horses, cat
tle, hogs, soil, climate, etc. etc., have
been fully and thoroughly discussed,
by practical, well informed men. The
proceedings and discussions have been
recorded iu detail by several compe
tent reporters, and ought to be pub-'
lished for general information. The
preparation will be made, and it is
hoped the next Legislature will show
wisdom enough to provide for publi
cation of these proceedings as well as
those of the State Board of Agricul
ture aud the State Horticultural So
ciety. Valuable matter is already ac
cumulated sufficient to mako a vol
ume offive hundred pages.
At the close of the Institute reso
lutions were adopted, thanking Prof.
Culbertson of the Agricultural Col
lege for his labors iu getting up these
meetings, and for the interesting man
ner in which they have been conduct
ed. Also for the formation of a per
manent State organization, and rec
ommending auxiliary organizations
in each county. Before adjourning
the State organization wa9 formed.
The following officers were elected :
Harvey Culbertson, Lancaster coun
ty, President.
Moses Stocking, Saunders county,
Vice President.
Geo. M. Hawley, Lancaster county,
Secretary.
Executive Committee : Robert W.
Furnas, Nemahp ; D. H. Wheeler,
Cass; C. IE. Walker, Franklin; S. C.
Bassett, Kearney.
The rush of emigration to the Stale
has never been so great as at present.
The throng at the railroad depots is
simply astonishing. At the B. &. M.
depot, from twelve to two o'clock
each day during arrivals and depar
ture of trains the crowd is equal to
that o'f any of the large eastern cities.
As high as six and eight extra rail
road coaches come in daily from the
east, loaded to a perfect jam with
passengers who have, and are locat
ing along the line of tit is road west.
One day this week, one freight train
of thirt5T five cars loaded with house
hold goods, implements and stock for
actual settlers, paseed west from this
city. Grasshoppers Indians, and the
wilds of the west don't seem to scare
sensible eastern people worth a cent.
The river counties that boast of so
many superior advantages, and are
desirous of additional population and
wealth, would show wisdom in hav
ing a few intelligent, well posted men
at the railroad depots and along the
lines of roads east. A word to the
wise ought to be sufficient.
You will have observed that the
Omaha and Lincoln newspapers are
having tills over the University man
agement, especially in matters of re
ligion and chapel exercises. There
is really no foundation for the passes
between the pencil belligerents. It
only exists in the minds of a few quill
drivers who itch for newspaper noto
riety. The faculty in the University
are harmonious. Attendance at chap
el exercises Isoptionary with student?.
There are no sectarian ideas advanced
by any of the Professors. The Board
of Regents from the first organiza
tion, bus studiously distributed the
chairs among all denominations from
the most stringent orthodox down to
the "Broad Gaugeis" who boast of no
religious principles. Theonly javring
and that is among those outside the
University has beeu caused by the
over zealous "Broad Gaugers," who
on the principle of "stop thief,"
shout "sectarianism," threaten and
labor to have the University run in
accordance with their pet rediculous
theories. "This and nothing more."
Since an effort has been made to uti
lize the peniteutiary labor, mechanics
in Lincoln are disposed to "squeal,"
and cry "down with convict labor."
This is an old and exploded "hue and
cry," and will amount to nothing.
Labor whether performed by a king
or conviot, is, or should be houorablp,
and "the laborer worthy of his hire."
Gubernatorial candidates still loom
up. In addition to those named in
my last, we have Holmes, of Johnson,
Connor, of Kearney, Van Wyck, of
Otoe, Towle, of Richardson, and Reui-
iok, of Pawnee.
Harmon, of Fremont, who was re
cently arrested in Chicago with $5,000
of money stolen from the mail car,
in his possession, was assistant War
den of the Nebraska State Prisou un
der Gov. James, and was removed by j
Gov. Furnas, for acts not made pub
lic, and which would be improper to
put in print. He was afterward one
of the sweet scented "reformers" who
was active in opposition to Warden
Wood hurst. Richard.
California occasionally has a rain
storm that she in proud of. She is ex
periencing one of that kind now, com
paring it with the storm of January,
1862. In that year over two feet of
rain fell in nineteen days, and three
fefctnme inches, in one month.

away.

ranch, and wife and a young man
named Harry Dubois, Mrs. Walrath's
paramour, have been arrested and
jailed at Sidney, charged with the

England's Strength.
Major General Garnet Wolseley con
tributes to the Nineteenth Century an
article entitled "England as a Milita
ry Power." The following are his
conclusoins: "x.t no previous time
has England beeu so strong, iu a mil
itary sense, as now. Were war de
clared to-morrow, about 400.000 drilled
men would fall into line, if required.
supported by 372 field guns, manned
and horsed bv roval artillerv. That
number would roughly be made up as
follows: Standing army at home,
S9.000 men ; army and militia reserve
40.000; militia, 85.000; volunteers,
180,000, and the second-class army
reserve, 10,000 ; total, 414,000. In this
calculation I have put the figures very
low, and have left out altogether the
10,000 yeomanry, who would be avail
able for home eervice. I have not
taken Into consideration the number
of regular troops that would bo avail-
i able for war when the Mediterranean
garrisons were furnished by the mili
tia. It will thus be seen we could at
once take the field with two fully
equipped army corps of "more thah'O,
000 soldiers each, leaving a similar
forco of regular troops at home as a
reserve. When I compare the mili
tary strength of England now with
what it was in 1854, I am as amazed
at the conditions of military weakness
and helplessness in which we were
wlipn we began the Russian war of
that year, as I am at the Ignorance of
those who are now croaking over our
supposed want of strength and alleg
