Indications point to a very excit
ing contest in this state before the
next legislature. We are inclined
to believe, as the republicans have
to perform the work, that they will
do it with clean hands ajid pure bal
lots, and, as the subject of elcctiug a
U. S. Senator has heretofore occu
pied a great deal of time that should
have been devoted to the legitimate
business of legislation, we suggest to
members disposing of the senatorial
qucstiou at once, and thus he enab
led to devote the greater jirt of the
session to legislation in the interest
of the citizens of the state. Politi
cians usually, on such occasions,
want a good deal of time to present
the peculiar qualifications and fitness
of their candidate, and to form cer
tain alliances to bring about a favor
able result. Everybody should
understand at the outset that the
coming legislature is republican, and
is expected on all hands to do its
work openly and above board. No
dark tricks, no combinations, no
alliances and no corrupting influ
ences to be used to accomplish dark
ends against the will "of the people.
Those who make politics a trade
will learn, if they have not already
learned, that fair, square dealing,
truth and honesty are better wea
pons to use, even in politics, than
falsehood, forgery, subornation of
perjury and other corrupting influ
ences. The party or individuals of
a party who resort to such things to
accomplish their wicked purpose do
not deserve, and should not be trust
ed to .perform the duties of the
smallest office in the gift of the peo
ple. "We hope to learn that the
coming legislature will perform the
important duty of electing a U. S.
Senator at the earliest possible
moment in the session, and spend
the remainder of its short time in
legislating for the people.

Some time since tho Journal pub

desirability of a press for putting in
compact shape, for fuel, the slough

wise go to waste. A gentleman
writes us from Madison, saying:
"1 have invented and used just
that very press spoken of in your
paper, so cheap as to be w ithin reach
of every one, so simple that u child
cau work it, and so strong that a
man can lay out all his strength on
it and not break it. It will press
grass, weeds, cornstalks aud brush
so solid that it cau be cut with a
saw like cord wood, and I guarantee
that it will give satisfaction. I have
the papers and drawings all ready
to file caveat, but like the majority
of inventors am without means to
go any further with it. Now, if you
can, through your paper, interest
some party having means to furnish
capital to put the press on the mar
ket, you will confer a favor on the
subscriber, benefit the public, and I
promise that you shall be handsome
ly compensated yourself. You need
not give my name to the public, but
let the correspondence be carried on
through you and your journal."

It is stated that there is now about
$85,000,000 in gold bullion standing
to the credit of the United States
treasury, out of which iUhas been
decided to coin monthly $10,000,000
of denominations of $ and $10. No
gold coins of a leas denomination
than $5 will be coined at present.
On the 26th ult., at Chicago, a
trunk belonging to John Morrow,
salesman for a Philadelphia jewelry
firm, was stolen by unknown par
ties while awaiting transportation to
the depot in front of the Clifton
houp. It contained six to seven
thousand dollar' worth of jewelry.
An item of news from New York
states that the United States court
has decided that national banks
cannot be faxed by the state, because
the state law authorizing such taxes
is invalid. The city banks will at
once proceed to relievo themselves
of taxation which aggregate $1,
500,000. The Lcadville Chronicle on the
25th ult. says GO laborers were bur
ied in a snow slide near Chalk creek
on the Kokomo extension of the
Deliver & Rio Grande road. John
Dine was killed, tcu others badly
injured and eleven others slightly.
The slide carried the track over the
heads of the men.
Mr. King, of East Orange, N. J.,
purchased the other day a box of
grapes, from which two of his chil
dren ate one bunch and were pois
oucd. The nhvsicician pronounced
the ellects that of arsenic, treated
them accordingly, aud barely saved
their lives. It is thought the poison
got into the box accidentally.
Robert Sanderson, a young man
who has been employed ou tho
Pennsylvania railroad as night op
erator at Scheuck's Station, by close
application to business, aud in his
attempts to produce a railway dan
ger signal, being the great object of
his labors and studies for many
weeks, day and night was too great

uow a total wreck; he believes he

Horace White and F. "W. White
ridge, a delegation from the inde
pendeut Republican association of
New York, called on Gou. Garfield
at his residence in Washington the
other day and preseuted him a paper
on civil service reform. The Gen
eral, after receiving the paper, en
tered into a discussion of the subject
and among other thiugs said that he
hoped to have the co-operation of
congress in establishing a legal basis
for all routine appointments, so that
it should not bo in the power of
auybody, even tho president, to
remove auy capable aud faithful
officer, whether the term be long
or short.

It is understood that the demo
cratic senators will raise a quibble
on the 4th of next March on the ad
mission of a senator from Ohio in
Garfield's place. It. will be claimed
that no senator can resign his seat
until he has taken the oath of ollire
as senator, and thin delay the admis
sion of members until the organiza
tion is completed. It will hardly be
doubted that if Gen. Garfield returns
his certificate of election to the Gov
ernor of Ohio and declines the honor
of serving as senator, that the proper
authorities of the state could provide
for representation. If the accredited
representative comes at the proper
time, what business has the U. S.
Senate in the matter, except to admit
him tc his seat?
One important duty the coming
Nebraska legislature has to perform
will be to provide a new apportion
ment of State representative and
senatorial districts. Under the new
constitution it is made the duty of
the legislature to take such action at
the first session after tho taking of
the enumeration of the State. This
enumeration is taken every five
years, and will aid very much in
obtaining a fair representation in the
house and senate of the Nebraska
legislature.
Senator Paddock started for
Washington on the 27th ult., and
will probably not return until after
the 20th, when congress usually ad
journs for the Holidays. His ab
sence in the discharge of his official
duties at the seat of government,
will give his enemies an opportunity
to put in some uncounted strokes
against him as his own successor,
but we suggest that the contest be
conducted with an eye single to
what the people of the State desire
iu their representatives at Washing
ton, and with that amenity and
thorough good-will that should char
acterize brethren of the same politi
cal faith working for tho best inter
ests of the country. The republicans
of Nebraska should not imitate the
tactics of the Democratic National
Committee in the late contest, at
least in those thiugs for which they
have been denounced by the com
mon decency aud the common hon
esty of the country.
An accident occurred on the 27th
ult. at Baumau's station, thirty miles
west of Cumberland, the train en
countering a broken rail and the
engine with the entire train going
over an embankment and lauding
upon its side. Firemen Ruth was
instantly killed and the engineer,
whose name could not be learned,
was badly scalded. The passengers
escaped without injury, though bad
ly shaken up.
A. J. Tm.Li.s, Cornelius McGulh-
rick and Jacob Vino have been in
dicted by the grand jury at Cincin
nati ou the charge of forgery. They
have sold several thousand acres of
land in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Iowa, (which originally belonged to
tho estate of Jerry Tullis, deceased),
by forging deeds in his name, dated
before his 'death, and passing them
through several hands before being
finally sold.
Under date of the 24th from Leg
horn we have the sad news that the

Joseph was so badly injured that she

board, only fifty of whom wenjsav

Leghorn badly damaged.
