The president has approved the bill for the removal of the remains of General Ord from Cuba to Washing ton. Judge Jacobin, of Wheeling, W. Va., has decided that the Salvation Army has a right to parade with music. A. C. Stevens killed himself the other day at Geneva, O., being de pressed over unfortunate grain spec ulations. In a New York court an attorney denounced the Clerk as a liar, and the Clerk hit him in the mouth, loosening his teeth. The peach trees in Montgomery county, 111., arc reported destroyed by the cold weather, and other fruits are damaged. Gov. Dawes has appointed J. D. Lauer, for many years city editor of the Slate Journal, Bteward of the insane hospital. Mrs. Mary A. Miller, of New Orleans, has received a license from Secretary Folger to be master of her own steamboat. It is claimed that no less than 165. 000 human beings have been trans ported from Russia to Siberia during the past two years. The new M. E. Church at Blair, re cently dedicated, has a seating capac ity of 450. It is said to be the largest church in the town. Dr. C. E. Slater was recently elected president of the Fox River, 111., medical society, an uuusual honor to a woman physician. Two members of a party of bur glars recently approhended in London were women who, nttired as men, burglared with their male "pals. The bill redisricting Ohio for con gressional purposes has become a law. It gives the democrats twelve and the republicans uine districts. A man by the name of Johuson, who stole a package of $18,000 from the U. P. express, was caught the other day sfud jailed at Walla Walla, W-T. Four prisouers attacked the sheriff the other morninjr at Monteoello.N.Y., in an attempt to get away. Two were secured, one shot dead and a fourth escaped. Four relief boats were sent from Gallipolis, O , to Pomeroy. Over 10,000 people were camping on the hill tops, and many were suffering from hunger. The school lands of the state are being taken up rapidly. The State Journal 6ays the close of this year will find but little unleascd lands in the 6tate of Nebraska. Eleven hundred saloon-keepers in New York have been notified that their licenses have been annulled, be cause of conviction in court for viola tion of the excise law. Mr. Yorhees has introduced a bill in the senate to prohibit assessments for political purposes, by government officials and employe-). It will pon isn both giver and receiver. Wesley Johnson was convicted the other day at Napoleon, Ohio, for the murder of G. W. Williams and wife last October. The evidence against him was circntnstantial. Robert Garrett has ordered free transportation of provisions or other gifts on the Baltimore & Ohio road for the sufferers by the floods, also the free use of the B. & O. telegraph. Twenty-nine amendments to the constitution of the United States have been offered during the present ses sion of Congress. Would not a con stitutional convention be in order? Treasurer Wyman received the other day from au Ohio bank, two packages purporting to contain $1,000 each. One was fonnd $530 short aud the other contained two pieces of flannel. The president lias approved the sentence of dismissal of First Lieut. Wm. Clark, Twenty-fist infantry, and First Lieut Jos. F. Cummings.Third cavalry, convicted of duplicating pay accounts. Gov.

Money donations up to the middle of last week for the sufferers by the recent floods foot up $750,000 exclu sive of the money raised by Cincin nati and Wheeling for the relief of their own sufferers. Mb. Habmer in the House present ed petitions favoring the pensioning of union soldiers who suffered in Andersonville, Libby, Belle Isle or other confederate prisons. The peti tions were referred. Frank Huff's dead body was fonnd the other morning under Coon rirer bridge at Des Moines, la., on the ice. It is supposed he fell off the bridge while drunk, striking on b aescL. prsdocisg instant death. Gen. Van Wyck seems to be about all the prominent U. S. Senator, who is just now expressing the wishes of the people on railroad matters. One phase of the subject, the General deftly struck at the other day, as follows : I do not say that this is the best bill that can be offered on this subject, but it is presented with a view of inaugu rating some proceedings on behalf of Congress, which alone can reach this system of railroads, to meet the de mand on the part of the people that they shall have some regulation of this kind. When Congress inaugu rated and chartered these roads it supposed that it was providing for the very thing which we are seeking to do to-day : that in providing for a northern, a central, and a southern line to the Pacific it was establishing a system of roads which would form a natural competition. But the re sult has been that there is a combina tion on the part of the roads which has defeated what was supposed to be the wise purpose of Congress; and now, when the railroads year after year are partitioning, as they call it, their territory, when they divide it and make a partition of that great empire nearly as perfect as was the partition of Poland, it becomes the duty of Congress to interpose and protect the people, who are asking at this time that they 6hall be protected from the unjust, oppressive, and des potic extortion of this line of rail roads. SHERMAN'S RETIREMENT. The Order Issaed. ly Presldeat Arthur. Washington, Feb. 8. -The presi dent to-day issued the following or der, announcing the retirement of General Sherman : General William T. Sherman, gen eral of the army, having this day reached the age of 64 years, is, in accordance with law, placed on the retired list of the army without re striction of pay and allowances. The announcement of the severance from the command of the army of one who has been for so many years its distin guished chief, cin but awaken in the minds, not only of the army, but in the people of the United States, min gled emotions of regret and gratitude ; regret at the withdrawal from active military service of an officer whose lofty sense of duty has been a model for all soldiers 6ince he first entered the army, July, 1840, aud gratitude freshly awakened for services of in calculable value rendered by him in the war for the union, which his great military genius and daring did so much to end. The president desires on this fitting occasion to give ex pression in this manner to the grati tude felt toward General Sherman by his fellow citizens, and to hope that Providence will grant him many years of health and happiness in re lief from the active duties of his profession. (Signed,) Chester A. Arthur. The Hastings Gazette-Journal ap preciates fully the magnitude of the contest between the people and the railroads, but it leans a little too far towards the railroad side of the issue for a paper purporting to be sound on the railroad question, when it says "the men who own seven billion dol lars worth of railroad property will be willing to spend some of it in pro tecting their rights against any and all efforts to dispossess them of the same, &c." Will the Journal be kind enough to mention the whereabouts of any considerable portion of men (enough to make a "momentous con flict") who wish to dispossess the railroads of any of their rights? Which one of their numerous rights is it that the Gazette-Journal refers to, anyway? When charging that there are people opposed to allowing the railroads all the rights they ought to have, newspapers ooght to' be a little more definite and specific. Terrible results followed the high waters in the east last week, includ ing loss of life, exposure of the peo ple and damage to property. At Wheeling, W. Va., a womau and a babe fell from a second story window and were drowned. Tim McCarty, on the Island, lost $2,500 in gold in his house, which was swept away. Many other large sums of money were reported lost. The total loss in this vicinity on both sides of the river will reach $6,000,000. At Martin's Ferry, two hundred people are fed by organized charity. Two thousand people were homeless in Marietta and Harmar, and hundreds of houses are off their foundations. On the upper Muskingum the bridges are all gone. Harmar hill is covered with people in tents or in the open air, and are calling upon the people for help. The newspapers all around are giv ing a little more attention to county matters than has been their wont, and various and sundry public affairs are being overhauled. The Knox Co. Neics, for instance, is wanting to know if the tax-payers of Knox coun ty are required to furnish shave shops money to purchase coonty warrants with and to loan back to farmers at two per cent, a month, and intimates that somebody has been bought off from making a proposed investiga tion. From this and many other in dications that we find in our state exchanges, we judge that the era of successful -'Jobbing" in public mat ters is about to have a decline. The editor of the Sutton Hegister invariably strikes the nail squarely on the head, and, by the way, is not allied to the machine element of his party. As to the proper manner of securing representation in the national republi can conventiou, he says : To have a 6tato convention, at which the delegates at large shall be elected, and then have the same delegates di vide into three squads, for the election of district delegates will, in a large measure deprive the district conven tions of that independence of action which the call of the National com mittee is intended to recognize and encourage. The policy of District representation shonld be accepted and acted upon in spirit as well as in name. These is a portion of country in Huston Co., Texas, one mile wide and ten miles loug, where the wells ordi narily furnish plenty of water, but a north wind takes it all out. The wells are from sixty to eighty fest deep. Perry Mannis, who has been a preacher, was convicted the other day of the murder of Mrs. Susanna Nel son, whom he induced to leave her home at Anderson, Ind., with $1,000 and go to Kansas City. This was in September, and in October her re mains were fonnd in a dark ravine four miles west of Terre Haute. Mannis, who had been away from Anderson, returned with plenty of money aud some jewelry, which was identified as the old lady's. .He states now, since his conviction, that he was not the only one concerned in the murder. Few will admit it, but Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, is the foremost man in the United States to-day in the interest of the people. He is driving into a corner the thieves and corruptionists. He is working for the people, not for party. He is fill ing the rings with consternation. He is making their dry bones rattle. He would make an incorruptible presi dent, and the best the country has had since the days of Lincoln. He is a good enough statesman for honest men. Cast Co. EagU. The republican slate central com mittee of Illinois held a session last week and fixed the place of their pres idential convention at Peoria, April 16th. A resolution was passed strong ly endowing President Arthur's ad ministration, also denouncing demo cratic congressmen for passing the Fitz John Porter bill. The indica tions were that the country districts of Illinois would favor the nomina tion of Logan, bnt that Cook county was decidedly opposed to him and favorable to Arthur. Those who are opposed to monop oly have been and are willfully mis represented. They do not oppose capital, they need it; they do not oppose railroads, they need them; they do not oppose manufacturers, they must have them ; but what they do oppose is governmental protection to rob the masses of the people. All they want is justice between man and man, if honest men enough can be found to give them pure and equita ble legislation. Cass Co. Eagle. The superintendent of the schools at Flint, Mich., has hit upon a happy plan to prevent tardiness of the pu pils. An elegant banner is presented in each of the schools to the room having the least per centage of tardy pupils at the end of the month, and that room holds the banner through out the next month, with the title of "banner room," after which it is again awarded. The scheme is said to work to perfection so far. John Esseb of Omaha on last Sun day lay down at the Farmer's Hotel in Omaha, refusing dinner. When supper was ready, the landlord went to waken him, and found him dead. He and a companion had been mak ing the rounds of the city and drink ing heavily Sunday forenoon, and bis dissipation was the cause of bis death, and yet a great many people think a man has a perfect right to get drunk. Party managers must get ready now for the political campaign next fall, all along the line, from president down to member of the legislature. The people mean to exact a little more from would-be leaders than they have been accustomed to do, and mere words will not answer the purpose. Deeds only will couut now, and men who have the good of the country at heart are the ones to select. Wm. Boyd, a well known contrac tor residing near Ashland, this state, came down some time since from Dakota to Omaha, and was seen at the latter place several different times by friends, but suddenly disappeared, and no one knows his whereabouts. He had considerable money at the time of his mysterious disappearance. He is described as a man of medium height but heavy built. Intelligence was received the oth er day at New York from officials at Budda Pestb, Hungary, of a great bank robbery at that place. The mas sive iron chest contained 240,000 florins, 351,000 golden notes, 1,300 one hundred, 100 fifties, 1,000 tens and 1,000 one golden notes. A reward of $500 will be paid for information and $1,500 for their arrest or the recovery of the notes. A suit has been brought in the name of the United States to ve6t the title in the government of 52,000 acres of land in Custer county, Neb., known as "Brighton ranche," which has been fenced in by the Brighton Cattle Co. The petition alleges that the company has no title to the land, and that it belongs to the public domain. The question is one of great intesest to settlers. The Vedette, a soldier's paper, is very confident that the soldiers have friends enough in the body of the house and the senate to correct any shortcomings that may be recom mended by the pension committee. It is believed that all surviving sol diers of the Mexican war will receive some sort of pension. There are sup posed to be only about 5,000 of them. A good many people are ignorant fo the extent of territory acquired by the United States by reason of the war with Mexico. It inclndes Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colo rado, California, Texas, Idaho, frac tions of Kansas, Wyoming and Indian Ty., making about 725,449,600 acres, being larger than the U. S. at the close of the revolutionary war. The formal opening of the Morton House at Nebraska City on the 6tb, was the social event in the history of the city. The hotel cost $60,000 and is one among the finest in the State. Many distinguished guests from Lin coln, Omaha, Chicago, Brownville, Falls City, Plattsmouth and other places were present The ball, and baaquet was a grand affair. Three human bodies, incased in hay, and compressed into two whis key casks, came to Chicago the oilier day shipped from Baltimore. One barrel contained the bodies of two adult white males and the other that of a colored man. The police on making the discovery, arrested John Carlson, a veterinary surgeon. John Herrinoton and bis wife, living near Frankfort, Kan., were murdered the other uight in their barn. He had that day sold his hogs and it is supposed they were mur dered for Herrlngton's money. The hired man and a horse and saddle are missing. He is suspected aud parties are now in Bearch of him. A few days ago a Virginia gun boat stole into the midst of a fleet of Maryland oyster dredges, riddled many of the oraft with cannon shot and bullets, and captured one vessel, which carried a crew of nine men and had 1,300 bushels of oysters. The crew has been imprisoned and the boat will be confiscated. The State Stock Breeders' Associa tion met on the 13th at Lincoln. One hundred were in attendance. The opening address was made by Presi dent Walker. An interesting discus sion on breeds and diseases of cattle wa9 had. Chancellor Wanatt, of the State University, addressed the meet ing in the evening. Representative Ermentrout was. instructed by the house committee on banking and currency to report the bill for the exchange of the trade dollar for standard dollars, at par, by Jan. 1, '85. Will not such a measure open the door for several somebodies to make a nice speculation out of trade dollars ? It appears that one of the sustain ing props of the daily Gazette-Journal of Hastings is a sinking fund of $10,000 raised by the citizens. Cer tainly no better investment of money to "boom" the city coold have been made. The Journal would be a credit to a city ten times the size of Hastings. Twenty-five hundred circulars were sent from Sacramento to the democrats of California inquiring their preference for a presidential candidate. One thousand answers have been received giving 800 for Tilden, 195 for Tburman and 5 for Field. A meeting was held the other day at Boston to commemorate Wendell Phillips. A number of addresses were made. The proceeds of lectures under the auspices of Irish societies on St. Patrick's Day will be devoted to a monument to Phillips' memory. Wm. Bradshaw, a wealthy farmer near Albany, Gentry Co., Mo, was tortured the other night by burning the soles of bis feet and palms of the hands for the purpose of making him reveal the whereabouts of his money, and then beat to death. A delegation was recently at Baltimore, Md., from Richmond, Va., making collections to build a home for indigent confederate soldiers. Contributions were liberal. The del egation is going to Nqw York and Boston. Senator Gusson has introduced a bill to ameud the act which created the Mississippi river commission. It provides for the extension of the work of the commission to all vaviga ble tributaries of the Mississippi river. LEGAL NOTICE. In the District Court of Platte County, Nebraska. John IIkmplvman.
