R THE JOURNAL. W Kl): KSDAY, JUNK 7. lt2. Kn'ercdat the Post-office, Columbus-, Neb., as second class matter. It is denied that Governor Critten den has offered Frank JameB a pardon. The Mackey-Dibble contested case was settled the other day iu the house by Mr. Mackey being sworn in. A terrible wind and rain storm visited Birmingham, Iowa, doing con siderable damage to trees and fences. Three separate attempts were made the other night to burn the city of Joliet, III., all at or about the same time. Miss Lillie C. Darst, editress of au Ohio paper, ha? been elected alter nate delegate to the Republican State Convention. The Ilouse has settled another con tested election case. Finley, Demo crat, was unseated, and the contestant, Bisbee, was sworn in. The supreme court of Ohio on the 30th ult. declared the Pond liquor law unconstitutional, on the ground that it is in the nature of a license. Judge Johnson dissented. The Juniata Herald says it is esti mated that the peach crop iu AdamB couuty thi9 season will yield 5,000 bushels. This is a good showing for the "Great American Desert." It has been announced thai the cor onation of the Czar will take place in August, at Moscow, that the festivi ties will last a fortnight, and that the estimated expenses are $7,500,000. We learn from the Calvert Adver tiser that the acreage of corn will be twenty per cent, greater iu Nemaha county than last year, and that of wheat forty per cent, greater than last year. IIev. J. E. Richards, a Detroit Con gregational pastor, has sued a local infidel for libel because the latter as serted the pastor would preach In gcrsolism if it paid better than Chris tianity. The Cedar Rapids Dairy Board of Trade, during the first year of its existence, sold nearly a million and a half pounds of butter, receiving therefore more than half a million of dollars. Fifteen thousand men are thrown out of employment in the Mahoning Valley by the recent strike. The proprietors of the mines, mills, and blast-furnaces refused to accept the operatives" terms. C. P. Iu "Williams has bid farewell to his patrons of the Grand Island Times, of which paper he has been the editor for the past nine years. Farewell, Charles. We shall great!- miss thee. A tremendod3 hail storm visited Prola, Kas., last week where the hail fell so large and rapidly as to make a noise like the rattling of musketry. In the range of the storm great dam age must have been done to the grow ing crops. Senator Edmunds of Vermont, eays it should be every young man's object in life to have a private calling, be well versed in public affairs, al ways participate in election, and leave public honors and responsibilities to seek him, and not he them. It is believed in St. Louis that Frank James, the noted outlaw, is to surrender and that Gov. Crittenden will soon thereafter pardon him. It is also understood that negotiations are pending with the governors of Minnesota and Iowa upon the same Mil-ject. As to senators Tefft and Graham, whom the Omaha Herald charged with corruption (that it utterly failed to prove), the people are right in con cluding that those senators arc justly entitled to confidence in their integ rity of conduct, the same now as be fore snch charges were made. Gen. J. M. Thayer is now in New York city under the authority of the Grand Army committee to personally extend invitations to President Arthur, Gen. Grant, Senator Logan, and Gen.' Hancock, Conkling and Blaino are included iu Gen. Thayer's mission to attend the Grand Island re-union. Referring to our paragraph con cerning the third congressional district, the Norfolk Netcs remarks that "the smaller the majority, the greater the chances that the district will be represented by honest, brainy men." Evidently, where political parties arc about evenly divided, they will be more likely to put for ward their best men. The body of Miss Watkins, the missing Denver girl, was found one day last week some six miles below the city of St. Louis by Joseph Ray, floating in the Mississippi. James Martin, her uncle, fully identified her remains as those of Miss Watkiun. No signs or marks of violence on the body. The opinion prevails that she took her own life by drowning. The Lincoln Journal seems to be impressed with the idea that all the first class Congressional timber in the United States is located in the First District of Nebraska. But then the Journal has never been up this way and doesn't know what a vast amount of latent talent there is lying around loose north of the Platte, so we'll forgive its ignorance. Nor folk Ncics. It is reported that General Sher man is about to retire from his posi tion in the army. We know not how much truth there is in the report, but if true we should regret to loose the services of such an accomplished mil itary officer; but should General Sherman retire General Sheridan, a brave and fearless soldier and officer, in that event would become general of the army. McCormick, of the Pen and Plow has this to say about the J. C. Rob ber ts affair: Senator Turner from Platte county introduced into the Senate a resolu tion to the effect that Gov. Carns was not without blame in the matter of J. C. Robberts, alleging that his acts as a go-between, or bearer of corrupt propositions from Robberts was be neath the dignity of the President of the Senate, and wrong of itself. This rpcnlnlinn clinnlrt hnTA liopn nrinnled. for it meets precisely the views of the I people of the State of Nebraska. Ben Hill, now at Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was reported very ill last week. Rev. J. W. Allen, of Omaha, died the other day of that diead difcasu, caucer. Miss Emiline Quigg, sister of the late James Quigg, of Wheeling, W. Va., died the 28th day of May, 82, aged 103 years. A man by the name of Field, from Waukegan, fell into bad company the other night in Chicago, and was robbed of $2,765. A heavy hail and rain storm re cently visited aprthern Missouri, the damage was mostly to window glass and tender vegetation. A dividend of 16 per cent, of the allowed claims on the Aflen estate was declared the other day at Chica go and ordered to be paid. The Louisiana legislature have passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to offer for sale 6Ugar or molasses adulterated with glucose, unless prop erly maricea. The Governor of Wyoming Terri tory has recently sent a letter to the Woman's Suffrage Association, stat ing that woman's suffrage in his ter ritory was a great success. Gen. Garibaldi died at bis home, Caland, Caprera, Rome, at 6 :30 June 2d, '82, of bronchitis, from which he has been suffering some time. lie was born at Nice, July 22, 1807. The Ohio delegation at Washing ton recently held a meeting and ap pointed a committee to arrange for the transfer of the remains of the late Chief Justice Chase to Cincinnati in July. From East Saginaw comes the re port that Robert Graham was shot and killed by James Anderson at a lumber camp on the Cedar river the other day. The trouble arose about the wages of Anderson. The North Platte Nebraskian says A. J. Miller has planted 5,000 shade trees on his farm this spring. He has also planted a large orchard of apple, cherry and peach trees, also a half a mile of walnut trees. Memorial day was more universal ly observed throughout the United Slates this year than ever before the people in masses turning out to pay due and appropriate respect to the worth and memory of the de parted soldiers. A man at Springfield, Ohio, named Kitzmeter became enraged at his daughter keeping company with a man whom he disapproved. Ho drew his revolver one morning last, week and shot her dead. He narrowly es caped lynching before they got him to jail. The White Star steamer Celtic ar rived at New York the other day bringing among her passengers four of the Jeannette survivors, the party consisting of Lieut. Dannenhower, Dr. R. L. Newcombe, naturalist of the exposition, Jack Cle and Long Sing, seamen. A difficulty occurred on the evening of the 27th ult., at Denver between Phil. Hubbard and C. H. Wood by Hubbard knocking Wood down and commencing to beat him, and when Wood was extricated he fired two shots at Hubbard, both taking effect. Hubbard will die. We learn from Denver that the U. S. Marshall arrested the other day the last member of the Fuller family charged with robbing the mails at Guntber, Arkansas while in charge of the post office. The elder Fuller was arrested in Pueblo, Mrs. Fuller at Denver and young Fuller at Boulder. Peaches in Richardson are in a flourishing condition. The trees are loaded down with the precious fruit. It is not generally understood in this part of the 6tate that peach trees mature early, but Jas. McDougal of that county has trees bearing, which are only three years old from the seed. A dispatch from New York says that a member of Governor Critten den's party in that city on his return to Missouri will conclude negotiations for the surrender of Frank James and possibly other members of the James gang, and thus put an end to the organization of brigands in Mis souri. The plans are all laid and only wait the Governor's return for execution. The iron workers are preparing for a long strike against the man ufacturers at Pittsburg, Pa., and claim that the amalgamated association will stand out for a year unless the ad vance is conceded. They say in case grocers decline to sell on time during the lockout, they will start three largo stores in Pittsburg and Alle gheny. Citizens begin to see the spirit in which these associations run the strikes over this country. It will soon impress our citizens running contracts of public improvements and manufactures that they must in corporate a provision into all their contracts to meet these strikes, that all delays occasioned by them shall be regarded as unavoidable delays, and for which contractors will not hold themselves responsible in the completion of contracts. It is possible that we may have, this year, a repetition of the weather which occurred throughout the United States in the year 1816, which was called "the year without a summer." The Sioux City Journal quotes the record of that summer as follows : "January was mild, so that fire was not needed much of the time in room6. February was mild with but a few cold days. March was cold and bois terous the first half, then mild to the middle of April, when winter set in with ice and snow, which continued through May. Ice formed and the fruit buds were killed, and every ten der plant destroyed. Corn and pota toes were planted and killed until too late. June was the coldest ever known: frost, ice or snow almost every night, destroying everything that I IU1U nUUlU JklM. JJUU1T JQII ICU lUkUCt deep iii Vermont and Maine, three inches in the interior ot York state and a part ot Pennsylvania and Mass achusetts. July was cold and frosty. Ice formed as thick as window glass in New England; Indian corn was killed everywhere. August was worse still, for where corn escaped it was frozen, cut up and dried for fod der. Ice formed half an iuch tbick,and almost every growing green thing was destroyed in this country and Europe. Very little corn ripened in the middle 6tates." The proceedings of the extra ses sion of the legislature are still at tracting the attention of the people of the Btate, who seem to be just get ting into the merits of some of-the points discussed. Our contemporary, the Columbus Democrat, has the fol lowing to say concerning the action of the senator from this district, upon the Carns-Roberts matter: "Sen ator Turner struck the key note when ho introduced in the Senate a res olution that 'in the opinion of the Senate Lieut. Gov. Carns is not with out blame for complying with the re quest of J. C. Robberts that he should say to Mr. Thurston that he (Rob berts) wanted $5,000.' It was a cour ageous thing to rise and offer a reso lution that assailed, aB this did, the presiding officer of the body of which ho is a member, but Senator Turner knew when he rose iu his Beat that every fair and impartial man in the state would approve his action." It was inevitable the testimony of Carns and Robberts being in direct conflict, that one or the other had perjured himself, and since the in vestigation had not gone to the length of determining which had sworn falsely, it became the duty of the leg islature to, at least, take for true what each admitted as against himself. In Robbcrts'e case this would be that he had been corruptly approached by tho Lieut. Governor, and that he had not made that fact known to the house at the first opportunity ; in Carns's case it would be that he had at Robberts's request, carried a proposition to be corrupted, to other parties supposed to be in interest both acts deserving censure. This was the position of the Senator from Platte, as very correctly reported at the time by the Omaha Jtepublican. "The crop-eared scribe who pounds type out of countenance on the Co lumbus Journal is in a state of sapheadical sadness over something that concerns the editor of the Herald. He is not at all disturbed about the shameless methods by which the pub lic business in surveying the public lauds in this state has been conducted for many years. Such men are respon sible for the reckless riot that prevails everywhere in the country. They apologize for rascality when they do not defend it, and assail with the ven om of a self-righteous malignity who ever ventures to expose and denounce the systematic robberies that go on in the name of honest government." Of course the above language is easily recognized in these parts as coming from the Omaha Herald. In deference to Dr. Miller's usually gen tlemanly bearing, we questioned with ourselves about even quoting bis own words. They illustrate, however, the general principle that he who is lack ing in good arguments usually begins to call names. In such a contest we take no part, and freely forgive our good friend, the doctor, for his tem porary fit of anger. We cannot, how ever, allow any misstatements of his concerning us to go unchallenged. We suppose that we owe the appear ance of the Doctor's classic paragraph to a certain article in last week's Journal concerning the Doctor's connection with the charges of cor ruption against Van Wyck, Tefft and Graham. We have carefully re-read that article and re-affirm every word of it. If the editor of the Omaha Herald or any other man charges corruption against members of a leg islative body, and, when called upon to substantiate them, refuses to give the names of witnesses alleged to be important, and refuses to say what he expects to prove by his principal witness whose sicknesB prevents his presence, aud then himself asks an indefinite postponement of the inves tigation, then we say such action is severely censureable by the body of legislators concerned, and very prop erly so. The Doctor seems to think that we are self-righteously malig nant. We censuro him for not prov ing his charges, when the opportunity. was given him to do so. We always had a rather good opinion of the Doctor, but if he continues to make bad charges that he either cannot prove or will not prove, against men of known integrity, the public will take leBs note of what he says. The State' Prisma. Those who visit Lincoln should not fail to visit the penitentiary and asy lum. A pass can be obtained, by ap plication, from any of the state offi cers, and those who have never seen such institutions will be amply repaid for their time and trouble. The writer receutly spent an hour at the penitentiary, in company with a friend. On entering the open hall way you are confronted by a grated door, behind which stands the turn key. Showing him your pass, he calls a guide, under whose charge you "do" the premises. In this case, our good friend Mr. Fairbanks, appeared for that purpose. Unusually for him, he sported a heavy cane, which, by the way, is a favorite article among the prison guards. From the turnkey's room we passed, through another grated door which was locked behind us, into the chapel. Here, on Sundays, the convicts are brought together for worship. A guard stands in their presence with a repeating rifle, iu fact the idea of overpowering physical force cannot but be present all the time with the convict Going into the yard we see a num ber of men at work making brick, trimming stone, etc., each gang hav ing a citizen guard. It looks as though it would be an easy matter for such a large number of convicts to overpow or the guard?, but there arc watchmen every here and there, on the walls enclosing the premises, aud elsewhere, overlooking special points, so that it would not be a comfortable task to undertake. In one part of the grounds the most interesting work was the sawiuir of stone. These are lifted into place by a large crane worked by steam aud the sawing is done by means of plain pieces of iron, without teeth, dripping water being used as a lubricator. It is surprising how rapidly the work goes on. We pass from here into the machine shop where the pieces were beiug made for a windmill ; then through the tailor shop, the harness shop, the broom factory and the cornice de partment, in all of which men were busily at work, with downcast eyes and quiet tongues. Back again into the prison-building, we are shown the cells of the con victs. This is a building within a building, and is two stories high with another about to be added. Each cell is about 3x7 feet, high enough to allow a man to stand upright, and is pro vided with a buuk for the two con victs whose names are placed in front of the cell. We felt "cribbed, cabined and confined," just to look at them from the outside, so narrow do they appear. The men who commit crimes with such facility certainly cannot realize the puuishmout that simple deprivation of voluntary motion brings. Each door of the cells has its indi vidual lock and key, besides a sliding bar which, by a motion, also locks or unlocks all at once. On coming in to dinner, each man takes his tin plate of vegetables and meats from a table where they are placed, with as much bread as he wishes, walks into his cell, and is locked iu; when he is through eating, the plates are pushed out through an opening at the bottom of the grated door. It is very inter esting to see the appliauces for cook ing aud baking, which are on a large scale. The bread is baked in a huge oven, and looks to be of a very good quality. The vegetables are put into one large vessel for cooking, the meats into another, and everything is kept clean and neat. The work everywhere is done by convicts, who can be known by the striped clothes they wear. Evidently, they are treated according to their known character at the prison, and no doubt many, whose wills were weak, and who were disposed to dark deeds, are really thankful at heart for the restraints of prison life, having there by true help in that most determined, most fierce aud most relentless of struggles that of a man against his own evil propensities. There is a prison library, and all are allowed the use of books. Quite a number of convicts are trusted beyond the prison walls some driving teams to aud from the city, 6ome workiiig on the new wing of the capitol, some at work in gardens near the prison, etc. There is now not a woman among the convicts, the last one having been sent away a few days ago. There are now 275 convicts, in all. Two were received a few days ago from Hastings, getting from Judge Gaslin a sentence of twelve years each for horse-stealing. The Judge is recognized in his district as a "terror" to evil doers. The list of discharged men for May is Wm. Johnson, Chan. Matbewson, Sefarino Rivers, H. C. Piederson, Frank Wild, John Jennings, H. C. Chestnut, Andrew Jackson and Gus taf Anderson. C J. Nobes, tbc very worthy war deu, has been connected with the in stitution for nearly eight years, and is thoroughly informed in prison matters, probably being as good a disciplinarian as there is in the United States ; visitors will find him a genial geutleman.
