Tho fire started in tho timber near the city and spread before a gale of wind in the direction of the city, and it was with great difficulty that it was checked by the firemen and citizeus. E'remonitioiiN. Before any great event in nature takes place there is more or less warning of what U to come. The earth shakes and quakes before tho belching volcano overwhelms with its hot vomit, the surrounding-country. The storm that comes in its fury and strikes .down houses and, forests in its path "never docs so without giving some sign of its coming, even to the casual observer, saying nothing of the knowing gaze which sees the fall of the barometer, and thus becomes certain of the coining of the storm, if uot of the extent of its destructive power. Thus come, also, revolutions among mankind. No great change iu tho material or moral conditions of a community has transpired without a long train of events gradually leadiug up to it. Illustrations will occur to every reader of history. To the observant eye nothing comes unexpectedly tho general tendeucy of the human barometer is plain to the inspection of all, and what are the signs of the times? What has the immediate future in store for us? Is the prospect fair? lie who can uot answer these questions favorably to America has uot, it seeni3 to us, seen things as they are. Politically, patrons have nothing to fear ; the reactionary party may possibly -endeavor to steal another state or two, with or without the consent of the more conscientious of their adherents, but tho event will be dull, dead, flat failure, because Americans are uot fools or cravens. The party which substitutes tricker ies, lies and frauds for ballots, will not thus secure the approval of the body of American citizens, because they love fair play and honest deal ing. The political sky looks fair enough. Iu a business way, the situation is better than the most sanguine dared hope a year ago. America now is taking the lead. Trade, commerce, manufactures aro reviving soon tho hungry mouths will all have been fed, and the idle hands kept busy at remunerative employment. The ambitious class iu our eastern states who desire to better their condition will now find readier sale for their property, and thousands such will seek tho newer, cheaper and belter lands of the west in the next few years. There is an abundanco of money, seeking profitable invest ment aud must find it, making waste places productive, and developing the resources of tho country. The business outlook is good, and wc shall all share it according to our respective capacities for business. But there is one thing in this line, as merchants say, that is to be righted, and that is, the transportation ques tion. Business men must cease to be subject to the whims and caprices of railroad monopolists, who vary tho prices of transportation at their own sweet will ; the producer on one hand, and the consumer on the other must not much longer be outraged by tho fact that the lion's share ol the pioducls of tho country goes into the coffers or the railrond kings, giving to the latter great and greater luxury, case and wealth, and to the former more toil, care and worry to kepp even. The indications are numerous that tho people every where arc being roused to the Im portance of tho problem, and there is no doubt but the railroad auto crats are making common cause against the people, and are now planning, scheming, working to di vert public attention, to divide pub lic counsels, to distract the public mind, and at the last will, if possible, by fair means or foul, thwart the public desire. If neither of the bills now before congress becomes law, the people will find men who will voice their desire, enact their will into law, and enforce Us enactments iu the letter and in -the spirit.- A noble sentiment, dear to American hearts, equality before the law, must bo a political principle, and the ques tion of transportation be settled upon the solid basis of right and justice. Railroads are public high ways, aud must be made to subserve public usees. The people now are only divided in opinion as to how this shall be effected. National leg islation is inevitable, and railroad corporations may as well accept that fact, and make the moBt of it. If not, tbey must prepare for thefurth est extreme, namely,' the exercise of the right of eminent domain, "tho right which the people or govern ment retain over the estates of indi viduals, to resume the satno for public use." People can bo coaxed into forget fulness, but they can also be goaded into the exercise of an extreme remedy for the removal of an evil. Leonard Case, Cleveland's eccen tric bachelor and millionaire, com mitted suicide one night last week by an overdose of chloroform, and was. found dead ou the floor of his sleeping room. In his own peculiar way, while living, he distributed thousands upon thousands of dollars in charity. It appears he left a trust deed, by which he has conveyed to his attorney property estimated to bo worth $1,250,000, tho income from which is to be applied to tho establish ment of a school to be called "Case's school of applied science." He was a good scholar and poet, and it is claimed that his peculiar eccentrici ties grow out of a disappointment in a love affair when he wag young, with a beautiful and charming girl, whom ho failed to win, and ever after he smiled Dot upon woman. Elaine. Contiary to all expectation, Gov. Garcelou and his coadjutors in the fraudulent counting in of members, captured both branches of the Maine legislattirp ' nd organized accord ingly, ii.oj uiipLatieally defeating the will of the people, expressed through ..the ballot-boxand selljng ai ueuancc me upuiiuu ui mc ou preme court of the State. In the senate Mr. Locke read a protest from the republican members against the senate proceeding. The secretary refused to entertain the motion. The government and coun cil then appeared aud the oaths were administered. Senator Locke renewed his motion but the secretary would not enter tain it. In the House Mr. Hale claimed certain elected members of the House from cities arc not on the roll and moved they be included. Objections being made to the mo tion from the other side, the assist ant clerk ruled the motion out of order, and refused to put it, there upon republicans withdrew. Mr. Hale again raised the point of no quorum but was again ovcrrulcd.and thus the great fraud in the count was consummated. It is claimed, ou the other hand, that the house and senate were organized in ac cordance with the constitution of tho State, and that a full quorum in both houses were present and took the required oath of office. After the organization of the Legislature, Gov. Garcelou said ho now put into their hands the opinion of the su preme court, as well as the petition of gentlemen from certain cities, claiming seals, aud invoked their careful consideration of the same. Revenue I.U-W. By request wo publish the follow ing paragraph, Sec. 89, General Laws, 1S79, page 37S: The Co. Clerk shall keep a distinct accouut with tho treasurer of the county for each several term, for which tho treasurer may be elected, iu a book to be provided for that purpose, commencing from the day on which the treasurer became qual ified, and continuing until tho same or another person is qualified as treasurer; in which account he shall charge the treasurer as follows: With the amount of taxes levied and assessed in each year as the same appears on the tax list, delivered to him during his term of office; with the amount of money, and with the amount of state, county, and general fund warrants, road orders, or other evidences of indebtedness, which the county treasurer may have been au thorized to receive from his pro cessor in office, with the amonnt of any additional assess ments made after the delivery of any tax list ; with the amount of any additional penalty added to the tax es, after the same became delinquent according to law; with tho amount due the county for advertising lands for sale for delinquent taxes; with the amount of the school fund re ceived from the state treasurer: with the amount received from the sale of any property belonging to tho county ; with the amount re ceived as fines and forfeitures; with the amount received from dram shops, tavern, grocery, or other li cense; with the amount of money received from any other source au thorized by law. Judge Ball, of Zauesvillc, Ohio, recently rendered a decision in an injunction case of much interest to trades-union men. A glass manu facturing company brought twenty four Belgian workmen to take the place of a like number of men that they had discharged. Ellbrts were made to induce the Belgians to break their contract. Judge Ball refused to modify fife temporary injunction, and ordered that the discharged men must not in any way attempt to pro cure the annulment of the contract of the Belgians, or enter the premi ses or converse with them to induce them tc leave their employers, until the expiration of their contract, which runs three years. After a full review of the case, the judge con cluded by saying that he had no doubt that the union represented in this case was in conflict with the laws of the State and of tho United States. Bailer County. The Press delivers some good ad vice to the editors at other places, meaning, probably, Schuyler, Grand Island, Fremont, &c, who seem to be very jealous of the towns along the Lincoln & Northwestern route. After staling that the cars are at David City, the Press proceeds to say : "Wo will just say to Schuyler and some other third rate hamlets,whosc newspaper vaporings have become rather annoying, that Jay Gould hasn't got control of the A. & N., yet. It still has a strong connection with tho, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, and other rumor, equally as pood as that "rumor" of the Omaha Republican, says that tho A. & N. has made a new and permanent con nection to St. Louis. Brethren, don't allow your jealousy to make you foolish. We know you are sorry for us, but we hope you won't perspire over it." The charge of libel, brought against Richard Smith, of the Cin cinnati Gazette, was dismissed in the police court by the prosecuting attorney, on tho ground that a crim inal charge cannot lie against a cor poration, Mr. Smith being charged as a representative of the Cincinnati Gazette Co. That Mloclc I'lrobtoiu. Cresto.v, Platte Co., Neb., January 10th 1SS0. Editor Journal:--In looking over the stock problem by Mr Zicg ler, I think I notice two or three er rors to which allow mc to call at tention ; also allow me to say that as stock usually runs in herds they, begin to bear at two years, whicli will make the different showing I give below. The first calf will have only 7 calves intcad of 8, and those following one less down to the sixth, which will have 2 instead of 3, a'ud the seventh making the count so far 3S, which is 6 less. Then the first calf's calf will have 4 instead of 5, aud so ou through, the fifth not having any, will make the account thus far stand 4S, which is 11 less. Again, if the first calf's calf's calf would have 2, the second call 's calf's calf would have 1, but I can't so figure it, and thus cut oil one more, making 49 as total, instead of 61. Now for the two-year olds, all being heifers as below calculated : The cow will have 10 calves .

Ivleetion ofOflicers lor the Kit Miin Year. As everything iu regard to the new road will he interesting to our readers, we give the following from the Lincoln Journal of the Sth : The Stockholders of the Lincoln & Northwestern Itailroad Company, met at the office of Galcy & Abbott yesterday, and elected the following gentlemen Directors, to serve lor the ensuing year: Nathan Thayer, Nathan Thayer, Jr., Charles Mer riam, Geo. 0. Shalt ock, Charles S. Young, Thoin:i5 P. Beal, and II. II. Iluinwoll, all of Boston, Massachu setts. The same gentlemen conti nue the Board ol Directors of the A.&N. It. R. Co. Each ot the above named gentle men received the vote of a majority of the stockholders represented at the meeting, and all tho acts and doings of the Board of Directors heretofore had anil done were unan imously confirmed and verified. The meeting was a live one, and al though but few of the stockholders were present there was manifested a great degree of interest in the pri vileges of the meeting. The people of Lincoln may feel assured that the A. & N. mean bus iness and intend to manage its own business independent of all other companies. We are not at liberty to mention all we heard said and done at the meeting of the stock holders, but our readers will not be surprised if the Lincoln & North western, the connection with the A. Ss N., does not prove to be one of our greatest benefits. The people of Seward, Butler and Platte counties may rest easy. They will have a competing line of road if wo arc not woefully deceived. wm hiimb Miss Frankie IIerrick, a beauti ful young woman of Loadville, Col., and said to be a former Chicago so ciety belle, committed suicide the other morning at Loadville through the agency ot morphine. She had fallen desperately in love with a citizen of Loadville, and realized that her love was hopeless, and thus sought and found death. Amdng other things written in a letter found on her person she says "Yes, I have lived long enough, and have made up my mind to forget my troubles and him whom I love belter than life, in death." General Manager Strong, of the Atchison, Topcka Ss Santa Fc road, accompanied by Assistant General Manager, arrived at Atchison ou the 9th, and completed arrangements for the erection of a grain elevator of the capacity of 250,000 bushels aud for a mammoth freight dept, to be built of stone, 300 by 70 feel, and two stories high. Arrangements arc also being made for greatly enlarg ing the machine shops of the central branch division of that city. A. C. BUooks, a farmer at Ilocks boro, N. C, was arrested and placed in jail last week, for otic of the most horrible crimes known to a civilized country. He has two daughters, the oldest of whom made the complaint against him, charging that four years since he outraged her person by force, and subsequently the person of her younger sister. By the eld est daughter he has four children. Since his arrest intense excitement prevails in the vicinity. I'cnsion. A joint resolution has been intro duced in the house by Mr. Bel ford, authorizing the secrelarv of the interior to pay out of the Utc Indian annuity fund to Mrs. N. O. Meeker the sum of $5,000; to the heirs ol Frank Dresser, $5,000; to the widow of W. H. Post and to Mamie J. Elliott $10,000 for injuries sustained at the hands of the Ute Indians in Colorado. Junon Mookk, of the common picas court of Cincinnati, hearing a noiec in his house, procured a revol ver, and went to the head of the stairs where ho met a burglar and fired at him. The man fell hack dowTli the stairs, and was dragged from the house and across the yard by his accomplice. The judge be lievt'rf he shot the man mortally. J)isti:ict Attorney Lambcrtou at Lincoln on the 5th, in Hie U. S. cir cuit court, dismissed llic case of the United Stales against Standing Bear, the Potica chief, and asked that it be stricken from the docket, which was done.

" PuEtiLO, Col., January 7 Twelve Ute Indians in charge ol Lieutenant Taylor, of the Ninth cavalry, with ten men arrived here to-day and went east immediately on the Atch ison, Topcka & Santa Fe road. They had ordered dinner at the Union Depot hotel, but seeing so large a crowd of pale faces destroyed their appetites andlhey went aboard the 'train -nt once aud'Ieft without eat ing. Between two and three thous and people were at the depot to see the savages. "Hang the red devils," "shoot the murdering fiends," and like expressions were frequently heard from a portion of the crowd, and they were pcltqd with stones and coal by some boys who had taken a position on a coal train ou a nde track. The Indians were terror strickcu aud completely cowed. A move was on foot in the morning to organize live hundred men aud lynch the savages, but cooler coun sels prevailed, and tho citizens de termined to let the Indians pass without injury. Had there been any injudicious action taken by the troops or Indians, no power could have restrained the mob from lynch ing them. Had Douglas or any of the Indians engaged in murdering and outraging the Meeker family been aboard, no power could have saved them. Tiik fraudulent voter-counters of Maine arc now making au effort to mix Seuator Blaine up with an at tempt to bribe some of the Bourbon members to withdraw and leave the body without a quorum. Mr. Blaine replies, "I pronounce it an unqual ified calumny, and merely "a part of a monstrous, wicked, uiiparallcllcd conspiracy to deprive a free people ot their sullragc by fraud, lorgcry aud perjury." Tiik Sioux City Journal says ''Co lumbus fears that David City is to remain the terminus of the Lincoln and Northwestern road."
