HIS AWAY.
Chard, tha Knglirhmaa who elopad
with the Cle-iflyr.-iaa's djughter, mid who
ha3 been for some tiu.e confined in j vil ;;i
Omaha, has again eloped with his prize.

anything further to do with the case, as
bhe seems bound to stick to him in spite
gf all efforts to reclaim her.
Mr. Henry Bccek's team broke through
the ice to day and escaped drowning in
almost a miraculous manner. Tha dri
ver drove on tj eotue ice where thn
water had settled away from it which
gave w;;y, and the team and wagn went
in, when ha left and r&u to M.r. Uocc'i's
shop, to ii.fjriu hhu tbiL liis team wan in
the river. Ail ibis tima the horsed
weto in swimming water, but fortuuately
one of tha hor.-cs got his forefeet on the
ice which held the wagon tongue in su-h
a shape as to keep the other horde's head
above water, and thus prevent them
from drowning. They were get out
with considerable difficulty, and with but
liitla injury to the borcc. Tha d;ivtr
is entitled to much c: edit for the strategy
employed in leaving the team. Kurr'

It is said that his acting Excellency,
Gov. James, pledged him.-c!f to S; mtor
Kennedy to call nu extra version, f.ir tha
purpose of passing tho Immufiaticn bill
and the bill to relieve the State finances,
if be: (Senator Kennedy) would go home,
and thus have the Senate without a
quorum. A visit to Omaha and a con
sultation with his masters there, brings
a chngc in his mind, and Bio. Thomas
is authorized to announce that there will
ba no extra ser.-i'r-. Tho Stita will
probably be the gainer in this, but as
the editor of tha Tiiiui.e is thoroughly
posted ia all that pertains to tha a ts of
his Excellency, he will probably, be wil
ling to enlighten the public on two points
which arc a Iittla mixed at present, viz,
Why was Dr. Stoddard not sulj-icted to
the same dis-cipline, while in the Peni
tentiary, as other prisoners? Second,
how long had he been out of pri-on be
fore the t'nua set for tha application to

We give below a dispatch from Lon

Chief Justice Cockborn has officially
counselled the cabinet, that KnclnnJ
must recede in: mediately from the Treaty
of Washington, leaving America to
decide between a new treaty or war.
The council is now di-cust-ing term in
which thii re.-olution frhall appear in the
Queen's hpet-ch at tha opening of Par
liament. This would look as though England
proposed to repudiate the treaty made
with this government altogether.
It has seemed up to within a rhort
tiro, that the difficulties existing be
tween tha two governments would be
amicably arranged, but if the feelings of
the EnjtlNh pres sre any index to that
of the government, the solution of the
problem is still ia the future. O ir peo
ple submitted to Briti-h wrongs when
they could not help themselves, but they
now -.vill insist cu ih'ir rights, and bo
wii!i to Lceopt nothing less.

Nebruvka City has placed the man

If Omaha is not .-atbfb-d with tha fal

effect of this mo.-t pernicious ytem,
we hope Omaha wiil allow them to run
strict party tickets. Wo think Cass.

The Richurdsou county pres3 favors
the calling of an extra session of the

be obtained by a meeting of tho legisla

bill. This should have been attended to
when the legislature was in session and
would probably have been, bu; for his
Acting,Excellency aud the precipitate
adjournment of the Senate. Tha Omaha
Trvbuns ssys, however, that there
will be no extra eession so of course Gov.
James, will call none.

tha? either he or his wife will start im

hire s the officers here to bring the girl
thre. A very urgent appeal is also
made to keep Anna in cus ody until her
parent comes on. After consultation it
wan determined to go in pursuit of and
rearrest her, and acoordingly this morn
ing Deputy Marshal Armstrong, accoin
panied by Officer Kelley, started in a
carriage for the island, .where sho was
found before. It is not definitely known
just where sho is, but the officers say
t:ey will Sal jicr before they return.
We doubt whether when they get her,
she will consent to go home, and we cer
tainly know of no law to compel her to
do so. She is evidently determiued to
live with Chard, her reducer, and all ef
forts to prevent her will meet with strong
opposition cn her part,"

Ecn itor Matt Carpenttr, of Wisconsin,
delivered a powrrfu! sjici'ch recently oa
the nfW Civil 6tvice fltform dude.
Here are its closing passages;
So, sir, it comes to this at lat that if
the matter te contested, the dune: who
h is bevn ciammed up to a diploma at
1 ale, n i comes f'rerh fiom his csam
minr, wiil be preferred in all civil ap

pursuits, the dotaii- and iiiumia of
ae-d'uiie kuowledfre have falei aw.13 as
tho headlands disappear whim the
mariner hids his nutive laud good niht.
lii.-t it not be fuppo.cd, nr, that I am
under-valuing the advantages, of t-dd-cation;
1 am not. Indeed, ir, tho-e
who have strujrgh'd through life, la-eking
the adviiutajes of education, are m-ue
alive to its importance and umre anx ous
to bestow it upon their ch dieu ' hm
thoe who enjoyed in early hie such ad
vantage to the utmoit. 1 bcioog to
that unfortunate class. L kiii.w 1. ) iii-.re
of chemistry than I know of the ; early
pates and golden streets of ti.u New Jc-ru.-aleni.
Aud 1 never expect ti ; that
is, I never expect to know anything .if
ehemi-try. I do humbly hope bimu
tune to see the pearly gates und golden
streets, becaue I und -tstand that ad
mission into the kinVdom nf heavi'ti
does not depend upon tho result of a
competitive examination.
Yet, sir, presenting myself as an ap
plicant for appointment to the place of
copyirg-cleik iu the Interior Ifepart
uictit. befora an examining board, having
a "chemical turn of mind," I should
4Jertaiu!y be rejected. Stiil, sir, I write
a rood hand, and caa copy papers with
great rapidity and accuracy, ihn s:r,
i the cae of many men in thi country.

rank in business, in the profession, and
to-day adorn ihe bench of this country.
In this world eveiything is ariamml
upon the principle of compensation.
When ono of the senses is denied to a
man, all tho others are quickened so as
to ujithrute the loss ; and it not -infrequently
happens that a man who is re
stricted to one department of leavij:ug,
and devotes all his energies of mind and
body to one pursuit, for in-tance a law
yer who turns bis back upon every other
department of kuowledge. outstrips in
that pursuit, a competitor who is loaded
down with collateral learning-.
Yet, r. if the doctrine of this report
is to be adopted, these men are all to bi
disfranchised. Enemy, activity, perse
verance, integrity, all the qualities that
have secured their success in their own
paths of lif , are to be set aside if th' y
happen to lack tho.-e early advantages
which only the sons of the r ch can en-
joV.
I know, sir, it is said that in thia coun
tro any wan ma-r beon-roe learned. My
early ambition wj stimulated by bemir
informed that Eiihu Burritt learned all
the languages of the earth whila ham
muring at the anvil. I know not wheth
er this be trui or fak.e ; but I -do know
that the information was of no assistance
to me. Here and :.ther a young man
will start from tho darkest obourity and
achieve wonders in acquisition of learn
ing. But for every such case a knowl
eJre of the world will luiuiah us with a
thousand poor boys, thrown upon the
world as orphans at ten or twelve ye us
of age, aud Compelled to hold out a help
ing hatid to younger sisters and trothers,
who have found it utterly impossible to
acquire an education, tut who, under
the dire neoessiti s of the case, have
been apurned and driven in nuceesful
careers. Such men may be disfranchised
by a vote of this body, but ueror by my
voto.
There are special reason at this time
why such a system thnuhl be frowned
upon. When our recent war broke out
p triotie rather 6ent thrir sons to the
fie 1. Puri-ie the period of awful trial,
when the tvitli of the nation was tremb
ling in the balance, nud our galhmt
youths were breasting the storm of war,
the sous of les patriotic "ci'izetis were
t-r.joyinjj th advantages of a college
curse. And now, when our maimed
soldiers h ive returned, and pp!v for a
Federal offica, the duties of which they
are peifeetlf competent to discharge,
they are to be rejected to give place to
the who were cramming themselves
with farts and principles from the books,
while they were bleeding for their oun
try. b a cause they do not know the fluct
uation of the tide at the Cape of Good
Hope, and how near tho moon ever ap
proaches the earth, or the names of the
principal rivers emptying into the Caspi
an tea.
