The more Hayes title is investigat
ed the stronger becomes the evidence
that he was honestly elected. A fair
election in Louisiana would have giv
en him twenty-five thousand majori
ty ; but considering the frauds prac
ticed by the Democrats, the rascals,
such as Anderson, having charge of
election districts, and the temptations
of bribes from Tllden's agents, it is a
wonder that he received any majority
whatever In that State.
Late dispatches indicate that the
principal cities of the Middle and
Western States are truly much alarni-
pd at indications of an outbreak of the
communists. It is believed it will be

gram of the 8th says : "Communists,
here, say boldly that on the day when
Congress is to adjourn (June 17), ev
ery oaf-vzbeel will stop in the United
States. at noon. They are evidently
preparing-foe some important event."

The above Is another Nebraska City
News We. Hayes never said a word
that oould be construed into any such
avowal. But the people have said in
effect that Hayes shall serve his full
four years even If they had to thrash
the Democratic party again, or send
it to hell, where whining around to
have political disabilities removed
will be in vain.
Uhfrchances of Col. Tom Majors to
be seatedias a Nebraska Congressman
is not so hopeless as some may sup
pose it Is. The sub-committee it will
be remembered gave him a favorable
report, and while the full committee
agreed to report adversely to him, he
has a strong minority, the vote .in
committee being six against five in
favor of seating him. The commit
tee having the privilege of submit
ting a full minority report as welt as a
majority report. From the division of
the oommitte on the case iteeemsthat
a Democrat or two voted to recognize
Nebraska's rights, and that It is not a
purely partisan matter. In this view
of the case, with all the arguments on
our side, there Is still room to hope
that justice aud right will triumph
by the admission of Col, Majors. The
second Wednesday In December Is
the time fixed for discussion and the
final disposal of the question.
Slnoe the above was put la type we
receive a letter from the Col., which
we lay before our readers, reviewing
the case thoroughly.
The eighteenth annual convention
of the United States Brewers' Associ
ation, was held in Baltimore on the
fitb Inst. The president in his address
congratulated the association that the
sales of their products during the
year were about as large as those of
any previous year. He stated that
the income realized by the govern
ment tor the year ended June 30th,
1877 was $9,489,7S0 and the total
amount realized by the government
since 1863 is $90,780,491. Referring
to temperance the speaker said :
It remainsas much as ever a matter
of regret that the temperance party of
tills country persists in classing dis
tilled and fermented drinks as equally
dangerous to the welfare of so cletv,

and consumption with the same un
yielding bitterness. We believe that
In the popular consumption of ale

best adapted to satisfy the desire for
alcoholic stimulants without danger
of abuse.
The Ucvercnd edlditor of the Has
tings JVebraskan, "doubts the propri
ety'' of commuting the sentence of
Warren Clough. But with all who
have a great dread of the responsibil
ity of possibly leagally murdering an
innocent man, no doubt can exist.
With such there is no doubt that the
Governor did right In granting the
prayer of petitioners who knew all
about the eTidence. And with Buch
can exist nodoubt that the petitioners
and people did right in choosing to
err if error there be on the side of
humane promptings rather' than that
of savage retaliatory hatred or reek
lees revenge.

The Potter investigation will not
serve to ohange the opinions of very
many reading men. Such witnesses
as Anderson, of Louisiana, and Me
Lin, of Florida, who, to begin their
testimony, had to acknowledge them
selves liars, tricksters and perjurers,
are not at all weighty. It was the
stories of these oath-breakers that de
ceived Tllden and his Potter and in
duced them to go into an investiga
tion which is proving so disastrous to
them and the party they so poorly
serve.
Judge Levisse, one of the Republi
can electors of Louisiana, was a wit
ness last week before the Potter com
mittee. He swore that he was offered
$100,000 to support Tllden. The proof
of fraudB and most damnable rascali
ty, by creditable witnesses, has in
every instance fastened crimes upon
the Democrats alone. Tilden and his
agents who forced this investigation
are getting terribly sick of the revela
tions now daily going upon the record
as historical facts.

A Letter From Col. Tom Majors.'
Washington D. C, l
June 4th, 187S.
Deab Wash: Knowing the solic
itude you, with other good friends In
Nemaha, have as to the termination
of my eflorts In behalf of fair repre
sentation for our young and growing
State, I write thiB to say that the sub
committee, composed of Steuger, of
Pennsylvania, Culberson, of Texas,
and Lapbam, of New York, from the
Judioiary Committee, had the matter
under consideration, and after months
of deliberation, reported in my favor
the last two. Their report was then
submitted to the whole committee,
which this morning decided by a vote
of 6 to 5 against us. They, however,
ordered the reports majority and mi
norityto be made to the House, and
fixed the second Wednesday of De
cember for the consideration by that
body. They all concede the equity
of Nebrask's claim, but plead "trouble
some precedent,"and when confronted
with the California precedent, estab
lished in 1852, wbioh Is analogous to
our case, and a preoedent made by a
Democratic Congress, they only say,
"it is a bad one." The truth is that
political considerations have had
much to do with their conclusions;
but In justice to many fair minded
men in Congress, I must say, I have
full faith yet that Nebraska will be
righted; aud that when the full merit
of our claim is heard, as it will be
when discussed in the House next
December, political bias will yield to
a sense of fairness, and Nebraska will
have conferred upon her equal repre
sentation, as guaranteed by our na
tional constitution, which expressly
provides that "representation and di
rect taxes shall be apportioned among
the several States, which may be in
cluded within this Union according
to their respective numbers." A com
parative statement of the internal
revenue collections for the year end
ing June 30th 1877, shows Nebraska
to have paid nearly $14,000 more rev
enue for the same period, than eight
other States of this Union ; said eight
States having twenty-nine members
in the present House, and sixteen
senators ; while Nebraska has butone
member and two Senators. When
viewed from a constitutional stand
point with the facts and figures rela
tive to "direct taxes," and the further
undisputed facts and figures of the
requisite population in 1870, bad we
have had a just enumeration of our
people, it will puzzle our good people
to understand why our claim was not
recognized. While I, as the chosen
prosecutor of Nebraska's claim, have
done everything in my power, ably
seoonded by our entire delegation In
Congress, backed by our whole people
irrespective of party, am sorry that no
better or speedier results have been
reached, yet, as before said, I do not
despair of reaching the desired end,
and fully believe after the fall elec
tions are over and the political cald
ron shall have boiled down, enough
fair minded men will be found in this
Congress to pass our bill for relief.
Having pressed the oase thus far, the
people may rest assured that no effort
shall be spared on my part, to secure
them their rights, until the House
shall, by their votes, reject the reason
able and juat demands of our Stato to
equal representation in the National
Cangress. To the whole people, Dem
ocrats and Republicans of Nebraska,
great credit is due for the encourage
ment given me in the unequal strug
gle, but especial credit Is due to Dr.
G. L. Miller, of the Omaha Herald,
and J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska
City both leading Democrats of our
State and Hon. P. W. Hitohoock,
who have been here, and labored
"both In season and out," and "spar
ed not," to secure a just recognition
for Nebraska. Their unselfish, per
sistent efforts will not be forgotten by
a grateful people. Especially would I
commend the earnest, patient, watch
ful care aud untiring zeal manifested
by our Senators and Representative
in this, as in ail else Nebraska has an
interest in. Our people may feel sat
isfied that all that an equal number of
representatives of any State can do
will be done by ours. To name all
public men who have given our ef
forts encouragement, and to whom
we are indebted for courtesies and
kindness, would be trespassing upon
your time and space. 8uffice it to
say that to no one ought wo, as a State,
to feel greater grattltude, than for the
disinterested, unselfish, unpartisan
and effective efforts of Hon. D. B.
Culberson of Texas a man with
whole heart and honest purpose, will
ing at all times to aocord justioe to
each and every subjeot of legislation
that calls for his action. No man
stands higher, and no man deserves
better of his Immediate constituency
or of the whole people. To know he
is right is a sufficient apology for his
official acts regardless of attendant
oonsequences. Feeling it due to
those whose Interests I have sought
to serve, that a brief synopsis of my
stewardship should be given, is my
apology for tresspassing on your valu
able space Yours &c,
Tom Majors.
