U. S. Senator.
The contest over the eleciion of a
U. S. Senator for this Slate-has
nearly always been a soucco of much
aniioyauce arid expense, to say notic
ing worse of it. "'(At times it has
been charged and very generally
believedithat-'moiiey was freely aud
corruptly used to purchase the votes
of legislators. However this may
be, true or untrue, no ouo can deny
the fact that at a session when a
senator was to bo -elected, every
other interest has been sadly neg
lected ; time was wasted, money was
wasted, aud every thing. in the line
of legitimate legislative work suff
ered because of tho unnatural con
test over senator. It was mainly
these facts that led to the'adoption
of a clauso in the constitution of
1875 for a voto of preference by the
people, and the passage of law by
the last legislature, in furtherance
of that provision this viz:
"At the general election irnmc
"diately preceding the expiration of
"the term of a United States senator
"from this state, the electors shall by
"ballot express their preference for
"some person for the office of United
"States senator. The votes to be
"canvassed and returned in the
"manner hereinafter provided."
The Journal advocates compli
ance with this law, upon the general
grounds hinted above. It will re
move a source of annoyance, and, as
generally believed, of corruption;
it will takeout of tho usual duties
of legislators a greatly disturbing
element, for it is well known that
"legislative" trading, log-rolling and
"contracting," during "senatorial"
sessions, are mostly done on senato
rial aspirations; it will place in the
hands of the peoplo, where it most
properly belongs, the choice of their
representatives in the upper house
of congress.
Tho first statement heard by the
advocates of this law Is that the
General Assembly are not legally
obliged to second the preference
J. thus expressed by the people; in
answer to which it may bo said that
right-minded legislators would feel
themselves obligated, by every hon
orable impulse, to completo the
peoplo's will by technical legislative
enactment "We have not space this
week to further argue tho question,
but we believe that the representa
tives would, in this case, be just as
honorable as presidential electors
have been. In the whole history of
our government down to the present
time, we believe there is not a single
instance on record where an elector
betrayed tho trust reposed in him,
by voting coutrary to the expressed
desires of tho people by whom he
was chosen, although he was under
no legal obligation to vote for the
men named on his ticket; and Is it
to be presumed that Nebraska leg
islators are tho lowest order of po
litical agents! Let the voting by
the pcoplotake place, and we have
faith enough in Nebraska meu to
think that they will be as honorable
and as politically wise, as have been
the presidential electors from the
beginning.
On the 10th at Sidney, a most dar
ing robboryJTwas committed of a
Black Hills treasury coach which
had arrived the evening beforo with
bullion, gold dust and curroncy for
tho east, in all amounting to $125,
000. It was convoyed to the Union
Pacific express office for shipment.
C. K. Allen, the express agent, was
away about half an hour at his home
for dinner. On his return he dis
covered from a hasty examination
that all the treasure had been stolen.
Further search revealed the fact that
under a thick layer of coal under the
express room one bag of the bullion
was found, and 'further on several
more were concealed, in all amount
ing to about $112,000. The currency
and. two bullion bricks amounting
to about $13,000, aro gone and no
clue to lead to the guilty parties.
Further investigation is being made.
Natha P. Pratt, treasurer of the
Rearing sayings bank, was tried the
other day at Boston for embezzle
ment and found guilty on 20 counts.
Shortly after conviction his son's
written confession being in the
hands of his father's attorney was
made public. The son being the
chief clerk, book-keeper and cashier
of the bank of which his father was
treasurer. He takes the entire res
ponsibility of the defalcation and
details the manner in which the
stealings were effected. His steal
ings aggregate over $130,000, aud
will make the bank insolvent and
entirely without assets to pay some
800 depositors. The son fled before
the father was arrested. His where
abouts now are unknown.
Secretary John Sherman, over
his own signature says he has not
retired. from the presidential race:
"with the purpose neither to press
any one to support me nor decline
snch friendly aid as is offered me.
This position I intend to occupy to
the end. I do not think it necessary
for me to belittle or arraign Gen.
Grant, Senator Blaine or any one
else, nor will I use my official" posi
tion to promote my candidacy."
The reason assigned for the shoot
ing of Bowkcr, by the Granger boys
at Milford last week, as claimed by
the boys was, that Bowker had
abused their father. Three of the
boys were arrested and hearing had,
and John and Milton were bound
over in the sum of $1,000 each for
their appearance to the district court.
One of tho wounds inflicted on
Bowker the physicians say is dangerous.
Sexator Sharon appeared in hi
place on the 11th, and presented a
petition of newspaper proprietors
for a reduction of the duty on paper,
which after some appropriate re
marks by the senator, was referred.'
After concluding his remarks rela
tive to the petition, he explained at
some length that his absence from
the senate was on accouut of the
fact that after his election the oper
ations of friends had involved him
to tho extent of millions of dollars,
and his duty to the largo interests
depending on him had demanded
his attention. Ho said furtheF that,
now he knew his duties and respon
sibilities, his resignation was at the
disposal of his constituents when
ever they chose to call for it.
J. "W. Perry, a member of the
Kentucky legislature, accompanied
by Miss Adams, arrived at Cincin
nati on the 9th. They wero given
separate rooms at tho hotel. Early
in the morning Miss Adams took a
train for Van Wert, Ohio. After
she left the fact was discovered that
she had given birth to a child. The
child had been wrapped in a sheet
and dropped from the second story
window. Tho child is well and
shows no ill effects from the fall.
Miss Adams is only 16. Both she
and Perry were arrested. Perry
claims to have known nothing of his
companion's condition or act.

nounces the existence of counterfeit 1
one-hundred dollar bills on the fol
lowing banks: National Reserve
Bauk, Boston; Pittsfield National
Bank, Pittsfield, Mass.; Merchants'
National Bank, New Bedford.Conn. ;

The first of March came in rather

Health in this riciuity is improv

Stibles' farm was driving past Isaac
Ekleberry's house last Thursday his
horses became frightened at some
thing by the roadside, and wheeled
suddenly to the left breaking the
tongue, upsetting the wagon, spill
ing man, boy, reaper, and about ten
bushels of potatoes in rather a pro-miscuou-heap
on tho ground. The
team was caught, however, and the
broken tongue mended, the goods
gathered np, and the man sent on
his way rejoiciug.

Editor Journal: In your last
week's paper I read the following:
"At the instance of Mrs. Hurley,
Mrs. Hammer, Monroe precinct,was
fined for assault aud battery .$5 and
costs, amounting in all to $17,"
which is not correct. Such a case
wastriedjpnd through partiality was
adverse to defendant. It was ap
pealed to the uext term of district
court and granted ; a few days after
Mrs. Barley wanted to compromise
with my wife, and after a long talk
was agreed to by each paying haf
the fine and costs (full amount
.$13.20, not $17 as you say), of suit.
In my opinion I think that people
living in glass houses should not
throw stones. In-JJie name of truth
and justice I hope you will publish
this explanation.
Respectfully,
John Hammer.
