It' is asserted that Hon. Jno. C. Xew will soon be the owner of the Indian apolis Journal. The workingmen of Omaha smelting works are now indulging in a strike for 20 per cent, higher wage. The intended great anti-third-term rule-or-ruin convention which came off in St. Louis, on the Oth inst., was a great and rniserablo fizzle. O g' This is the way the Hastings Gazette puts it up: Hon. James Laird and PROF. A. I). WILLIAMS went down to Omaha, this morning. Ifcbrashan. That's a case where the tail wags the dog.

In other words, lie will go, himself, next time instead of sending "a better man.!' Unless the unit rule is enforced at the Chicago convention and it should not be in any convention Gen. Grant's nomination is not sure, it seems. Of course a vote as you please rule would work both ways and damage Blame somewhat, but not to the extent that it would' hurt Grant. The Omaha Keics has the following special from Lincoln : Finch's counsel, Mason and WhPdon, filed their papers this morning with the clerk of the district court in their libel suit against the State Democrat ; dam ages, S10.000. The Plattsmouth Tem ple of Honor havo offered to back Finch for S500. Sympathetic tele grams from all parts of the state and United States have been received by him. "Wonder if the editor of the Omaha Republican is on speaking terms with the editor of the Omaha News. State Democrat. Does the Democrat suppose that the editors of these two papers would allow political differences, or little newspaper wrangles to work them up to such a pitch as that? Of course the gentlemen are "on speaking terms" and would take a drink as quickly as any other men. Friendville Telegraph. If asked to do- so. Alexander H. Stephens is spoken- of for YicePresidcnt on the ticket with Grant. Stephens, although not a Re publican, as to party affiliation, is one of the most fair minded and inde pendent of statesmen, and a great ad mirer of Gen. Grant, whom he 3ays "is the greatest and most magnanimous man this country ever saw." Stephens is very popular with the better classes of people of all parties in the Southern States. A Grant paper, growling about the Blaine and Sherman literary bureaus, remarks that Grant has had no use for a literary bureau. That is so. A cock pit, dog-kennel, or race-track, would suit him better. The Hottentots have no use for literary bureaus. We clip the above heavy item from a Kansas Kepublican paper. It is such brilliant flashers of truth, logic and wisdom that are getting away with con queror of Loe, and the admired of all -nations. ! i "" Thnm i n in-awins sentiment in this county and throughout the state in fa vor of wasnDurn ior tne pnmciio. cnma nf nnr oldest and strongest re publicans believe that the fight between tho friends or oiuor iuu.w . wn inn. hitter and too strong and that all factions ear unite and harmonize on- "Washburn.

On the 5th inst when the venomous Lincoln Democrat was spread before its readers they were all astonished gome with sorrow, some with pleasure at finding the following unqualified charges of infamous conduct on the part of John B. Finch, the able, honor ed, loved, feared and despised, temper ance advocate, and Grand Worthy Chief Templar of Nebraska. After in troducing the matter and stating that he always has been an enemy to Finch the writer promulgates this charge: "Some time last winter a young girl came to this city from another part of the state for the purpose of attending the university course. Being poor and unable to pay for board, she engaged work in the family of John B. Finch, doing house-work mornings and even ings, and attending the school during the dav. She was young, prettv and modest, and any man with a spark of manhood about him, would naturally suppose that she would have been safe from insult and lascivious approaches. But it was not the case, it seems. Finch, who was, in a measure, her pro tector, could not leave her in peace. Almost from the first hour of her stop page in his house he began a systemat ic attempt to induce her to gratify his unholy and shameful desires. By words, and deeds, and actions, he fol lowed up the poor girl until one even ing his conduct became so unbearable that she left the house and went to a neighboring boarding house where she was taken in by the kind hearted land lady, who kepther over night, and the next morning, before going away she told the storv which we have related above. The details o" his conduct as told by her are too revolting for publi cation. She is now stopping at a house in the western part of the city. Her story is entirely credited by those who have heard it, and it is certainly one of the worst that has ever come under our observation." Other daily papers of Lincoln having more regard for the good names of their citizens and the sacred character of husband and wife, had little to say, but promised to investigate so as to speak advisedly. But tho Omaha Republican, on the next day, 6th inst., added fuel to the scandal by a no doubt in our mind made up lie intensely more dev ilish in its conception than the one of the Democrat The following is the delicious morsel distributed by the Re publican for a few hours' wild gratifi cation of the enemies of temperance, and the ghouls of society, who prey up on blasted characters, and grow fat upon good names assassinated : Last evening at the McCrary recep tion a Republican reporter sat in front of two prominent Lincoln gentlemen who were not aware that a reporter was so near them. The reporter over heard the following conversation which he noted down: yColonel, what do you think of the Democrai's charges "against Finch?" asked one of the gentlemen, a well known lawyer. "Well, I am a strong friend of Finch, or rather of his cause, and I am afraid that there are good grounds for the charges. His wife has left him. That is, the woman he calls his wife. It will all come out in due time. He never was married to that woman. I was talking, not long ago, with a man that knows. Down at Atchison a runner, sleeping in the next room to Finch and his wife, heard them through the thin partition having a big row. Finch called her everything, and she threat ened to expose him. He told her she dare not db it. It was a regular row, and they had it lively. A man told me all about it some time ago. She has left him. That's true. People will keep still about it, except the boys." "The boys will ventilate it. Don't be alarmed about that, Colonel. They wouldn't be boys if they didn't." "It's a pretty hard blow on Sister and others of that crowd," said the colonel, who expressed the opinion that Finch had been trying to accom plish what tho Democrat charges. There seemed to be a lack of concert of action between these two slanderers, the Democrat not having thought it necessary to attack tho character of Mrs. Finch, but chose the method of indorsing her, for at the close of its onslaught on Mr. Finch it says Mrs Finch "is a most estimable lady." The Republican, however, makes haste to retract, and to make things right, so far as possible ; and the editor went down to Lincoln and without de lay sent back to his paper the follow ing special dispatch: Lincoln, ZSTeb., May 6. John B. Finch, through O. P. Mason, has com menced suit against the Lincoln Demo crat for libel, laying the damages at $15,000. I am authorized to state that the charge of attempt at seduction is utterlv groundless. Miss Morehouse has made affidavit that she has not, and never had, any grievances against Mr. Finch. The difficulty was wholly between her and Mrs. Finch, and re lated solely to her duties in the house hold. Mr." Finch has tho sympathy and support of the entire community here, .and is in receipt of marks of con fidence from every portion of the state. As respects tho intimations in this morning's Republican, I have received from Mr. Finch tho following state ment of facts: "I never was in Atch ison in my life, and no such scene as that reported ever occurred between mo and my wife there or elsewhere. Thelady is my wife; her maiden name was Francis "Manchester. "We were married in June, 1S70, at the residence of Mrs. Burlingham, my wife's grand mother, in McGrawville, 2iew York, by Rev. John Alebaster, pastor of the M. E. church, now of Auburn, Xew York." Mr. Finch's home is here, and he and his family are universally respected. The imputations to which the Republican gave publication aro false and cruel. The publishers of tho Rejntblican, to do the right thing, should see to it that that local editor never slanders another lady in their paper, making it neccssary for humiliating confessions and re tractions. On tho Sth inst. tho editor-in-chief of the Republican adds the following further apology : There is very little that needs to be added to the statements in the telegram which the editor of the Republican sent from Lincoln Thursday evening, and which appeared in our yesterday's issue, exonerating Mr. John B. Finch from the groundless, unwarranted and very ill-considered gossip concerning his domestic relations that appeared in our issue of the previous day. Our chief regret is that no correction which wo can make can reach the slanders at all points, and thoroughly undo the ,-T,ini ire, which ihey will have done ,,; wily; and while he accepted tho J citnntinn on fir oc if rnnrprnflrl himself I in a spirit becoming to a christian "man of the world," his heart bled for bis wife and child, whose worth and innocence had been so rudely and so wrongfully assailed. We voluntarily and freely assured Mr. Finch that naught should be left unsaid by the Republican to set the matter in its proper light before "the world." Wo told him that, although sometimes dis agreeing with him in hi3 public utter ances and in his methods of work, it was-no part of our policy or our wish to combat him, should we ever nave occasion to combat him, in his person al character and his private relations. That is a method of attack which the Republican has always carefully avoid ed, and certainly wehave no reason to make this eloquent, efficient and useful worker in a good cause an exception. The offensive paragraphs found their way into our columns as many matters of local news and gossip do, at a late hour of the evening and under a pres sure which precluded the best judg ment. We are happy to express belief and confidence that the charges which we copied from the Lincoln Democrat were not only without ground but without occasion, and we can only hope that the false position in which thev have placed Mr. Finch will neith er mar the happiness of his family nor interfere with the success of the bene ficient work to which he has so earn estly and so successfully devoted him self. INbw to return to the attack on Mr. Finch by the Democrat. The State Journal having called on Miss More" house, the name of the lady in the case, makes the following statement, in its issue of the 6th: Yesterday afternoon a Journal re porter called upon the young lady indi cated by theDemocrat as the party com plaining of ungentlemanly and vile con duct on the part of Mr. Finch. In an swer to questions of the Journal re porter, the lady said: "I resided in the family of Mr. Finch about four weeks during the winter, working for my board and attending the University. During the most of that time Mr. Finch was absent from home, and had been absent for some time when I left. I left Mr. Finch's house because of a difficulty with Mrs. F., who objected to my doing ironing on Sunday. I have at times a violent temper, and displayed it on that occasion. I desire to state, positively, that there is not a word of truth in the allegations set tortu by the Democrat, in regard to the improprie ties upon the part of Mr. Finch, and I have always found him a gentleman in his conduct toward me. We accom panied the lady to the residence of the party who first started the report, and in her presence she reiterated the story told the Journal man, and when the other party stated that she had told her thus and so, she promptly and emphat ically pronounced the statement a false hood. On the other hand, the party and her sister, at whose house it is claimed the derogatory statement was made, declare that the young lady did make the statement that Mr. Finch had kissed and hugged her, and "wrestled with her on a lounge. Yesterdaj . the young lady made an affidavit denying the truth of the Dem ocraVs charge and placed it in the hands of an acquaintance for publication. Rut as she was advised by her friends not to have her name needlessly pub lished, the Journal withholds it at her request. Mr. Finch arrived at home lato last night, on the A. & X. train, and he substantiates in every particular the statement made bv the young lady, yes terday afternoon. After enquiring in to the facts of the case, we believe that the charges made by the Democrat are wholly without foundation. Mr. Finch also states that if his wife has left him it has not become apparent. So the Democrat's witness says the Democrat lies. The woman who start ed the report savs Miss Morehouse told her. Miss M. tells that individual in the presence of the reporter that it is false. Xow, if Miss M. did tell her friend that Finch was too familiar with her, she lied then or she lies now in denvinjr it. and the enemies of Finch have to acknowledge that their only witness against him is a liar at best. But we do not believe Miss M. lies in exonerating Mr. Finch, for to this statement she subscribes a solemn oath. It has been said by the enemies of Mr. Finch, "Oh, she has been bribed, or influenced in some way by the temper ance people to exonerate Finch." This theory, however, is not a logical infer ence from the facts. Mr. Finch could not have seen the girl to "fix it up" with her, nor procured any one to do so because he was away from the city when the scandal broke out, and did not return until after the girl had been interviewed by the Journal's local edi tor. The latter gentleman received his statement from the girl on the same day, and immediately after the issuance otthe Democrat containing the charges; and the local editor of the Journal would not have drawn to any heavy extent on his exchequer to influence a story favorable to Mr. Finch, or the temperance cause, for that wide-awake individual never squanders his loose change on temperance lecturers, but husbands it carefully to keep his keg replenished with beer. That is to say he is not a prohibitionist, not even a red ribboner, and could have cared nothing about the matter more than to investigatefairlythejDe?wffra'scharge3 and publish the result as any good journalist does. Hence we must con clude that the statement of Miss More house was voluntary and true; leaving tho traducers of Mr. Finch without the shadow of a case and in utter dis grace. Tho Journal manfully and elaborate ly defends Mr. Finch in subsequent is sues, but our space will not allow us to copy further at length. New Albany, Ind.,May 5. George K. Brim, a young and respectablo Ger man of this county, has just married Eliza Turner, a beautiful quadroon, daughter of Ellis Turner, a highly re spected farmer, residing three miles west of the citv. Tho bride is an in telligent, well-educated young woman. of untarnished character. A couple of vears aco a German of this county married a colored woman.for which he was arrested and lodged in jail, and had a narrow escape from the Penitentiary. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat thinks Grant and Sherman would be a good ticket. It would; but Grant and Blaino -would bo better for votes.. PE0M LEAJJ vILLE. Leadville, Col., May, 183). Editor Advertiser. Thinking that something abouttthe Carbonate Camp and this Fairy Land of fortune would be of interest to many readers of The Advertiser, I have taken the liberty of addressing you", and thereby answering many'.let ters of inquiry which I have received during my short residence at this place. Leadville is at the present day prob ably the most wonderf al city in the world, and is attracting more than any other, the attention of the money making world. The principal questions asked are: Can I make money there?. Will the mines hold out and sustain the large population already here? and is the climate healthful ?&c. 3IAKING MONEY Here requires the same energy and in dustry as elsewhere. Such men can do well here; but there is no use of com ing to this country unless you mean business. The man who bends under every cloud and cringes and dodges ev ery hardship had better stay at home. It is safe to say that the great majority of fortune-seekers who have and will come to Colorado, will not succeed, in mining parlance. But few will "strike it," notwithstanding the truth of the ancient couplet: 'Who bides at home, nor looks abroad, Carries the eagles and masters the sword." There are thousands that will try their fortunes in these mountains this year. It is natural that the stories cir culated about Leadville and the Gun nison country should stir all classes, and produce the belief that fortunes are made ea3y here. To those I have simply to say, that if they expect to make their fortune in mines, there are ten chances to one against them, and if they aro willing to take the chances, tho people of Leadville will make it pleasant for them as long as their mon ey lasts. If they want to invest in real estate, and are cautious and dexterous, they will succeed. If they have money to loan they can get from three to five per cent, per month, with the best of security. If they want to work, they can get from three to five dollars per day. THE MINKS. So much has been said about the wonderful mines of this camp, that I apprehend all the principal facts in re gard to them are tolerably familiar to your readers. It is a fact beyond dis pute, and one that should be well con sidered in making calculations on the future of Leadville, that no other camp in the world has the vast veins of rich mineral deposits so easily and cheaply worked. There are a dozen mines with in two 'miles of Leadville that have from one to ten million in sight. The out-put of the numerous smelters dur ing the past week was 3350,000. This is increasing every week as new mines aro being developed, and new and greater smelting facilities acquired. Prof. Raymond, who has just visited the Chrysolite, reports S7.Q00.ono in sight. The failure of the Little Pitts burgh has caused considerable excite ment here as well as i"n Xew York and other mining circles, but it is pretty well established that this was simply a scheme to run down the stock so that a few capitalists could get control of the mine. A few days ago a large body of mineral was discovered, and in a short time the mine will be producing as much as ever. Of course the Lead ville mines, from their nature, are ex haustible; they are scarcely any of them fissures, but reasonable men will consent that this should be the case after they have produced from five to fifty millions each. The present pros pect is that new mines will be developed much faster than the old ones can be exhausted, and there is mineral suffic ient now in sight in the mines to in sure the prosperity of Leadville for five years to come. There are now more than twenty smelters in active operation, and the out-put for the year 18S0 is estimated at 20,000,000. It seems almost incred ible that from a little mining camp, far up in the mountains, there should have arisen in the short space of two years a city with 40,000 inhabitants, with gas works, water works, opera houses, fine churches and nearly all the accessories of metropolitan luxuries. CLIMATE. It is a question of considerable doubt whether Leadville is a desirable place for residence, being situated almost 11,000 feet above the sea level. The specific gravity of the atmosphere is scarcely more than one-half as great as it is at the sea level, consequently it re quires a greater exertion to breathe and necessitates unusual action on the part of tender-feet until they get ac customed to the climate. There is a great deal of sickness here, but the causes are abundant Dissipation is probably the most fruitful cause of sickness and disease in the camp. There are" about two hundred and fifty saloons and dance houses in the city, and they are thronged every night with men and abandoned women, a good many of whom sleep off their drunk toward morning in the streets. The next day the papers announce that such a person died with the pneumonia. Another prolific cause of sickness here is the futile and senseless effort on the part of enthusiasts to prospect on snow shoes, or visit mines that are located up on the mountain. After a hard walk a man from tho streets will be puffing like a steam engine before he climbs twenty rods. He reaches the mine in a state of perspiration, and without waiting to cool off, goes into the mine and catches cold; and if he continues this sort of folly, he soon gets the pneu monia. There are some very peculiar things incident to this altitude. It takes from ten to fifteen minutes to boil an egg, and potatoes and other vegetables in tho same proportion. The rats and their enemies, cats, cannot exist here, and our slumber is therefore never dis turbed bv their courtship. We never have any thunder or lightning, and it rains only during the months of July and August. On the sexes the climate seems to have an opposite effect. It tends to render the male portion more meek and subdued,' while the gentler sex ap pear to be more annimated. (It is said that tliis is caused by a famous creek that the traveler is obliged to cross in coming here.) In concluding my remarks on cli mate, I have this to say, that I have not experienced a particle of discom forture thus far, and I have not talked with a single person whose habits were temperate and who exercised reason able judgment in dress, but has told me that they have never enjoyed better health anywhere than here. Tho most wonderful fact in connection with this camp is its unparalleled growth during the past two years in POPULATION AND BUSINESS. All kinds of business is transacted on the high pressure plan. Rents are enormous. Property on Harrison ave nue that six montlis ago sold for 200 per lot, is now worth from 85,000 to S10.000 exclusive of building. A two story frame building on Chestnut street, suitable for store on grade floor, will readily rent for from $400 to S700 per month. Any kind of an office will rent . . .."... j-r, r tor "s.iii nprmrmLii. uiui kiiuu ui aumu that rent for 2.j0. All the principal religious denomina tions are represented here, and some fine church buildings are in the course of erection. We have the telephone and fire alarm, and a splendid system of water and gas works. The postoffice is another remarkable feature; bsides about 5,000 boxes there are five general deliveries. From 75 to 100 feet from the door these are classified, and if yon have no box you must get into your proper line, allbeit you may have to take a position in the middle of the street. I have been in this line for al most two hours, and I know how it is myself. We expect to have the free delivery system introduced in a short time. If you have a few dollars to de posit in bank, you experience the same difficulty. There will be a narrow gauge rail road built from Buena Vista in a couple of months, and there is now a very healthy broad gauge boom from Pueblo. Teaming is a very important branch of industry. 0 er a thousand men are employed in hauling rock from the mines to the numerous smelters, and these are comparatively few to what dre employed in hauling freight from Buena Vista. They consist of from four to twelve mules or horses, attached to from one to three wagons, fastened one behind the others. When they come to a heavy grade, the rear wagons are de tached and one taken up at a time by the entire team. The customary price per day for a single team (by team I do not mean outfit) is $10. SOCIETY". Those of your readers who have read the article recently published in the umcago 'limes, will te apt to form very erroneous ideas of the social con dition of the camp. It is inevitable that in a city of this size, with such a heterogenious population as ours, com posed of almost every nationality on earth except Chinamen and Indians, and it is not healthy for either of these classes here there should be a great deal of gambling done. About every sa loon has from one to a dozen gambling devices,principally faro tables, and large sums of money are constantly being lost and won at these places. I heard the pro prietor of one say a few days since that the transactions in his house during the last three months amounted to$l,- 000,000. There are six elegant theaters which are well patronized. During tho past week Haverly Church Choir Pinafore Company have been playing to large houses at the Tabor, and Sullivan with his Black Crook Company is having a like success at the Grand Central. There are scores of dance houses and dens of prostitution whose doors are always open and where business is al ways brisk, but among this cosmopoli tan throng are thousands of thrifty, in telligent, industrious and upright men and women. The churches are well at tended and finer church choirs can scarcely be found in the east. There are numerous musical, literary and sci entific societies that would do credit to any city. In conclusion I will add that the city is fast settling down to a regular and permanent basis. I believe that Lead ville at this time contains a larger per centage of refined, educated and law abiding people than cities of its size or dinarily can boast of. I have written a longer letter than I intended, and still have said very little compared to what might be written of this truly wonderful camp. We are all busy here and do not get but a few minutes at a time to write. Very Respectfully Yours, E. M. Hulbukd. John B. Finch has returned to Lin coln and gives broad denial to the scandalous story that has been publish ed about him. The young lady to whom it has been accredited, and who is the alleged party to the scandal, makes affidavit that there is not a word of truth in it The Herald re grets its original telegraphic publica tion of the matter, but that cannot now be helped. It will certainly permit no in justice to Mr. Finch in its columns if it can prevent it, and it will be as glad as it is free to do him full justice in this, or in any other matter. Mr. Finch cannot be put down by slanders upon his private character, against which Ave never before heard so much as a suspic ion. Omaha Herald. Chicago, May S.
