At the dinner given last night to Gener al Grant by the Federal officers of the army and navy of the late war, the General, in reply to the toaat offered in hie honor, said : Gentlemen: I wish this partof the entertainment had come earlier, so that I might be through now and be enjoying your punishment. Your Chairman baa honored me in hia ad dress far beyoud what I deserve. I did the best I could, but the man who bore the musket was as. worthy of credit, us he who directed their course. I had your support and that, of hun dreds of thousands of others to whom ia.due the praise. As to the result, I think we ail agree now, even those w.ho fought against us, that the war ended in the best way for all North and South throughout. The whole nation. If those who fought against us for the separation of this nation had succeeded, we bhould have been disgraced iu the eyes of the entire world. The honor that has been done to me abroad oame to me because we were a great united nation, and, was a recognition uf our great uesa.ap buqIi, I believe now that with the except ion ol questions of tariff aud finances, upon which there will always be diff erences, that we shall progress as a unit, until we are regarded abroad as we now regurd ourselves Uie flrtt nation ou the earth first iu a military point of view, lirst in intelligence, first in wealth, and first in setting a good example to all who love liberty. While we fought for what we thought was right, and think eo more and more every day, we did it, we must admit, partly from a selfish point of view, for we know that we aregreater and more prosperous aB one than we would be if divided. Ihopeyou will all be happy In your adopted home, and find the same cordiality here as in the localities from which you start ed as soldiers. I thank you for thi3 honor. Applause.

From the New Orleans Times Congress, the presB and the country are becoming tired anddisgustedwith Senator Voorhees1 exodus investiga tion. He started out to prove that the colored people who have emigra ted to Indiana from the South went there in pursuance of a plan to colon ize enough colored people in that State to carry It for the Republican party. He has failed In his purpose. Instead of his manufacturing political capital for his party, he has afforded the Re publicans an opportunity of getting a great deal of Btuff before the country which will be beneficial to thain in the coming campaign. If our Congressman and Senators would unite and make Col. Furnas Marshal the act would meet the most cordial approbration from the people of the State outside those who have axes to grind or some personal or self ish Interest in the matter. We can and do present Governor Furnas as a most deserving and meritorious gen tlemen for U. S. Marshal, or nny oth er position. At a great walking match just closed in New York, Dan.

Haman's tailor shop, at Omaha, was burglarized one night last week. Chas. F. Wilkinson, whp shot in cold blood Wm. Richardson at Bloomington a few weeks since, has been convicted of murder in the sec ond degree and sentenced to the yen itentiary for life. All that came from a common Ba loon spree. John Brown, a railroad man, waa killed by the oars, at Friendviile lasi week. At Ord, Neb., recently two sons of M. J.

Congressman Valentine of Nebras ka, in eommittee of the whole, on the Star Line Service, made a most sensible and argumentative speech. He told Blackburn and others of those old self important swell heads who as sumed to know bo much about the postal needs of the west, that they didn't know what they were talking about. Mr. Valentine makes a brave fight for tba Great West. Inter Ocean: Horatio Seymour, as will be seen from our Washington specials, continues to decline the Demooratio nomination. The fre quency with which the assurances that the candidate he cannot be are now put out would indioate that Ho ratio has gone in like a little man, and, in his own fashion, is doing his level best to get the nomination. m i p Omaha News: Thenational Blaine club estimates that Blaine will go into the national convention with 359 votes, whioh is within 20 of a majori ty.

Municipal Elections Lincoln went Republican and in favor of license. Omaha went against the Holly wa ter outfit, HaBcall, and elected Mayor Chase. Central City carried the license ticket. The Courier sajB the floating railroaders did it. Beatrice voted down license by big majorities. Crete went Republican and antl probibitlon. At Seward the contest waB a hot one, and a square one, between license and no license; and the entire tem perance ticket was elected by majori ties from 3 to 20. Nebraska City wbb carried by the Republicans, re-electing Hon. T. B. Stevenson Mayor, withoutopposition. It is said that a majority of the Coun cilmen are anti-license, but we doubt it. The papers are silent as to this matter. Syracuse, Otoe County, voted no li cense. The prohibitionists of Pawnee City eleoted their ticket. xU Orleans, Harlan County, prohi bition won. The temperance ticket at Sutton was defeated, by very small majori ties. Fairbury, Tekamah, Docataur, Da kota City, York ; all voted no license. Nemaha City went booming for whieky. There are lots of temper ance people down there but'.they are not of the vetebrate species. "You seem to be for Grant," said a friend to us. Yes, we are for Grant, bnt not for President. If we were a delegate to the National Convention, without instructions, Grant would be about our last choice. We alwaj's have and always will defend Gen. Grant from unkind, ungenerous and untruthful assaults. But for Presi dent we would prefer Blaine, Wash burn, Garfield or Sherman in the order named to Grant; and for the simple and Bole reason that we believe he would he a weaker oandidate than either of the others. If we thought otherwise and that he could carry most xotea then wa would be for Grant for President. The Pioneer-Press says that Grant is the only presidential candidate who is not afraid to make speeches. Probably because he is the only one who can speak without saying any thing. Omaha Netvs. That remark is simply boyish and spiteful; doesn't hurt Grant a partl cleand does Mr. Blaine no good. The News knows very well that Gen. Grant has acquired fame from the fact that in his short speeches he al ways says something worthy the re membrance and adoption of his coun try. The incorporation of his speech es Into a platform would make one good enough for a presidential candi date to stand on. Yankton, D. T., April 12 Through some mysterious means J. W. Max well, who was confined in the couuty jail for attempting to shoot his cousin, procured a revolver, and yesterday while all the attendants but oue were absent, he drew his weapon, disarmed the jailer, drove him and the other prisoners into the cells, locked them and walked out, and has not since been Been.

Thomas Boyd yesterday, in the preseuoe of about a thousand people, at Mum fbrdsville, Ky., jumped from the rail road bridge over Green river, a dis tance of oue hundred and twenty feet, to the water below. He sprang off the bridge hoad foremost, and struck the water below in'that position. Iu a moment lie appeared swimming, and was picked up by a boat's orew, and when brought ashore passed through the crowd receiving what money waa offered He was not in jured In the least. All other possible candidates are named as mere symbols of factions. Grant alone is tiie rose and expectan cy of the States, the hope of forgive ness to the South, of peace to the North, and of rest to the whole na tion. He, of all others, can pledge aod pay the triple, promise of for giveness, peace and rest. J. W. For ney. g e AtRockford.IU., a new temperance society has been organized, called "Slnnissippi Council of Templars." It is an outgrowth of the Temple of Honor, and is founded by Moses G.

A Buit is pend ing in the United States court in this city concerning the oleomargarine patent, which has brought out the astounding fact that oleomargarine which is not kept by any merchant as such has a sale in the country of 98 million pounds per annum. The brewers convention at Cedar Rapids last week refused admission to ladies. They, of course, admitted beer-sucking women and frowsy headed, freckled, blear eyed, petti ooated, beer jerkers, as genial to the wheezy, puffy, perambulating beer vats present. up The State Register has returns from 96 of the99 republican county conven tions in Iowa, the counties not report ed being Bremer, Cherokee and Wright. The 96 counties foot up for Blaine, 721 ; forGraut, 143; for Wash burne, 2; for Sherman, 1. Congressman Frye said a good thing on Saturday, when he showed how at tbe extra session the democratic par ty bad been forced to "abandon a bold, bad course, and pursue a cow ardly ad false one." , Bill Green, of the Olive man-burners, escaped from the jail at Kearney" last week, with several other prison ers. Green, it will be remembered as the saloon keeper of the crowd who furnished the indispensable whiskey for such a terrible occasion as burn ing men to death. Baldwin another of those wretches escaped from the same jail some time ago. Kearney jail must be a terror to evil doers. Secretary Sherman, on tho 31st, made a speech to his old neighbora at Mansfield, O., in which he avowed his candidacy for the Presidenoy, but said that "if the Republicans of Ohio do not fairly and fully. In their con vention express a preference for me. and support me with substantial una nimity in the National Convention, my name will not be presented to that Convention with my consent." A report comes from New York that Tilden, suffering from paralysis and age, has been pronouueeu by several eminent doctors, called on to feel his pnl-p and look at his tongue, n total physical wrenk. We had hoped the old fellow would hold out long enough to run for President. The Democrats would have hard work to find another as mean a man should he happen to peter out. The Presbytery of Nebraska, at its late meeting at Seward, elected the following persons commissioners to the general assembly, to meet in Mad ison, Wisconsin, May 20, 1SS0; Rovh. F. M. HIcknk and E.

Jessie Raymond, who, as she says, was seduced, and has now in arms a child by that great Democratic Saint. Senator Ben. Hill, of Georgia, is still making it extremely hot for Benja min. He is catching Jessie in a way that lie didn't bargain for, and seems very muoh disgusted about her hang ing around the senate to occasionally give tbe baby a peep at Its old daddy. Last week at Red Cloud, Neb., Eu gene Daught and Al. Lattou were tried for breaking into the post office at that place, before Hon. J. R. Wil cox U. S. Commissioner. They, be ing uuable to give bond, were sent to Lincoln for safe keeping. The Nebraska Republican State Central Committee, met at Lincoln on the 8th inst., and agreed to call the State Convention at Columbus, on the 19th of May. The call will embrace ouly the election of delegates to the National Convention. Thank's to Sidney French, Esq., for his friendly and readable nrticle, iu our columns; and also for a copy of the Good Templars' Advocate, pub lished at Louisville, Ky., and of which brother French is associate ed itor. At Cutlettsburg, Ky., the Mormons have recently had a revival, and over 20 converts have left their homes and gone to Utah; amougat them one haudsomeyoung married woman who left her husband behind. The Chicago Tribune's support of Mr. Blaine is bad for that gentleman. Its avowed enmity would be much more valuable to him ; for then it could not sell him out at the critical moment as it did in '76. Prince Bismarck has tendered his resignation as Chancellor of the Em pire of Germany, and this creates con sternation upon tho European chess board. He will, however, probably not resign. . We learn from the Press that Hon. Church Howe, Bishop Clarkson and other trustees of Nebraska college met recently to consider the erection of additional buildings for Nebnuka college. o The Senate judiciary committee has reported adversely on bills to provide for holding U. S. Courts at Lincoln, Neb., and to divide Nebraska into two judicial districts.

The New York'Democratic Union is the title of an organization formed to bring about a reconciliation be tween the two factions of tbe Empire State.
