interview with General IgnatiefT, the

expressed the opinion that war is
inevitable whether there shall be an
international congress or not that a
congress could not settle any thnig sat
isfactorily. "There are conflicting
interests at stake in this Eastern
question, which can only be- settled
by war. and no Congress could recon
cile them." The correspondent then
goes on to say : "Prince GortschakofF
appears to have made up his mind for
war, and, in fact, to prefer it as a
means of Brrirtng at a definite solu
tion of the difficulty. He is, there
fore, shapiug his diplomacy with a
view to that end, and events will be
influenced in such a way as to precip
itate the struggle under circumstances
not favorable to Russia. Everything
here points to war, and the public
mind is fully prepared for It."
Complimentary to Col. Majors, our
Contingent Congressman.
The following special to the Inter
Ocean appeared in that paper several
weeks ago, but escaped our attention.
We now reprint It to show our home
readers, many of whom have perhaps
not read it, thatour Contingent Is and
has been at work, and receives ap
plause from the best and ablest of the
country:
Thomas J. Majors who was elected
contingent member of congress from
Nebraska in 387G, has made a very
able argument before the committee
on judiciary of the house to which
the matter has been referred in sup
port of his cluim for admission to a
seat. He shows that at the taking of
the last census in 1S70, upon which
apportionment of representatives
from tbeseveral states was made there
were fifty six organized counties in
the state which were bIiowu by the
census to have only 122,235 inhabi
tants. By the State census taken in
1872 these counties were shown to
have a population of nearly 260,000
Deonle. and he accounts lor tne re
markable error in the conbus of 1870
by the fact that in tbe time allowed
it was impossible for the meager num
ber of marshals encaged in taking the
census to traverse the vast extent of
country allotted to them. He has af
fidavits to prove that the census in
Nebraska was not properly taken in
1S70, and that if it bad been, the state
would have been entitled by its popu
lation to two members of Congress.all
the sworn statements of United States
and state officers showing that Ne
braska had at the time a fraction of
over 50.000 inhabitants more than the
basis of representation for one mem
ber of Congress at the taking of the
ninth census.
The state of Nebraska at the next
election after the taking of the census
cast 27,530 votes for Congress, and
has only one member. Rhode Island
at the same state election and for
members of Congress, cast only 17.771
votes, and Rhode Island has two
membcrsof Congress, orone for every
9,35 while Nebraska had only one
member for every 27,530 voles. The
whole vote of the state of Vermont. at
the election in 1S72 for President, 52,
434, and has three members in Con
gress, which is 17.478 votes for each
member. Nebraska at this same elec
tion polled for her single member 10,-
000 more votes than are required in
Vermont for one member. The vote
of Florida at the same election was
33,707 and Florida has two- members
which is one member to every 16,803,
which is 11,000 less than are required
from Nebraska. At the Presidential
election in 1872, Massachusetts cast
192,732, being 7,000 more votes than
were ever polled before or since in
that state, Massachusetts has eleven
members of Congress or one for every
17.521, being 10.000 less than are re
quired in Nebraska. It will appear
by the total vote of any of the states,
the general election next succeeding
the ninth census, Nebraska cast more
votes than were required for a single
member in any other state, which cor
roborates the sworn proof and sub
stantiates the Tact that in 1S70 there
was in Nebraska a sufficient popula
tion to entitle the state to an addition
al member.
Judges Dillon and Treat recently,
rendered decisions on tho United
States Circuit Court, at St Louis.that
"decoy letters," sometimes resorted to
by postal aud other detectives, are
not legal evidence. The case in
which these opinions were rendered
was one in which a society detective
sent a decoy letter to Dr. Whittier,
eliciting from him a letter in answer,
which contained information for the
prevention of conception, which in
formation is contrary to the laws for
the protection of the morals of .socie
ty. The following is the closing par
agraph of Judge Dillon's opinion :
I place my judgment in this case
upon the single ground that the seal
ed letter written by the defendant.ad
dressed to a persou who had no exis
tence, and which on its face gives no
information of its prohibited charac
ter, and which is brought within the
statute only by the fictitious letter of
inquir3T is not the "giving of informa
tion" within the meaning of the stat
ute. At all events it is not certain
that Congress intended to punish such
an act, and therefore, upon the prin
ciple above mentioned, that criminal
statutes are not to be extended by ju
dicial construction to cases not clear
ly and unmistakably within their
terms, my judgment is that this pros
ecution, on theadraitted facts, can not
be sustained. It is a case of clear
moral cuilt, but not of legal criminal
ity. There is no lepal crime commit
ted, although the defendant did not
know of the fact which deprived liis
act of the criminal quali'y.

A clergyman from Pennsylvania de
livered u temperance lecture in St.
Louis the other day, and in the course
of his remarks, he- informed his audi
ence that half a million people die
drunkard'B deaths in the United
States every year. This is not the
first timo the Journal has taken note
of this wild and foolish assertion.
According to the tables of mortali
ty, the average length of life in the
United States is nearly forty yearr.
This gives the annual number if
deaths in the United States for the
past ten years at just about one mil
lion. Of these, one-half die in early
childhood, and consequently cannot
very well die drunkards. Of the re
maining half million, one-half are
women, and not one In 10.600 die
drunkards. Of the other 250,000 males
supposed to be old enough at the time
of their demise to bo drunkards, sup
pose one in twenty-five of the males
over fifteen years die drunkard's
deaths, this would give us 10,000 dead
drunkards a year. These are the out
side figures, remember; for no one
will pretend that more than one in
twonty-five grown men die drunkards.
Now, when it is so easy to make fig

An Important Lawsuit.
Hon. John L. Webster, having been

mouth to enjoin the payment of taxes
aud the funding of bonds, has carried
the suit to a successful termination.
The city wa3 represented by Hon. T.

S. M. Chapman, of Plattamouth. An
injunction was granted against twenty-four
mills of city tax and funding
bonds, five mills street bonds, fourteen
mills school tax, aud five and a half
mills funding tax. The grounds on
which the injunction was granted
were: that the street bonds and school
rtnn TrgrCTn...tifa, mH fcllC XlVC Zlrxlll
half mills (funding bonds) were ille
gally issued. The injunction was made
perpetual, saving to the tax-payers
$14,400 per year in taxes and $13,000
funding bonds. The Supreme Court
of Nebraska has just sustained the
judgment of the court below.
