All communicaUons should be addressed to E. EObEWATEB, Editor and Publisher, Draw- 'm' XOTICK. On and after October twenty-first, 1872, the city circulation of the Duly Bke Is assumed by Mr. Edwin Davis, to whose order all sub scriptions not paid at the office will 1 payable, and by whom all receipts for subscriptions will be countersigned. E. EOSEWATEE. Publisher GovEitxon Fcuxas and his staff seem to be out of luck. That bill to issue muskets to the State of Ne braska still hangs lire in Con gress. The new Indian bill has been amended to as to prohibit federal federal officers from entering into contracts with any Indian chief or tribes, and also toaboliah the Indian Superintendents in several Territo ries. TnE Herald seeks to shield Ex City Clerk Kitton, against the just charge of deliberate lawlcssnes, by pleading technicalities. The jour nal in question alleges that Kitton removed the ballot boxos out of his office, where the law directed them to be kept, at the Instance of gentle men appointed to recount the bal lots. Now we deny first, that any body was appointed to recount the ballots, and second that Mr. Kitton acted at anybody's Instance except by the request of Mr. Johnson. The testimony in this ca-o will bear us out in these assertions. Mr. Kitton was simply cited as a witness. Mr. Johnson's attorney put the question to him, whether he would produce the ballot boxes, and lie promptly replied he would. Mr. Baumer's counsel objected and pointed out the law, and Kitton insisted upon taking tho law into his own hands. And now we w ould bepleased to have tho Herald, Mr. Kitton's champion, to answor a few questions: "Why did Mr. Kitton exhibit such extraordinary nnxiety to produce .those ballot boxes hi spite of the legal objections? "Why was he excited when he opened the first box? and what made his hands tremble like those of an Octogenarian when he commenced to handle the contents? Why was Mr. Kitton so excited all dayyesterday, and what made him net 6o queer during the Council pro ceedings last evening? Did he have to stimulate his nerves to keep up his part of the ierformance and what could have produced such a change on him that many persons who witnessed his actions at the organization of the new Council ex pressed suspicious that he had lost Ids head. Assuming that Mr. Kitton had a right to hold the keys of the Clerk's office after his successor had been dulyqualifiedjWhydidhcassumethat ho could keep personal control over the ballot boxes until after the slow process of investigation and recount was over? Assuming that Mr. Kit ton acted wisely and properly in sealing the key holes of the ballot boxes and stationing a policeman In front of his office door to prevent his successor from tampering with the ballots, why did he not take similar precautions im mediately after the ballots came into his owu possession ? Does not the peculiar discrepancy in the second ward count iook as if somebody had been tampering with those ballots while Mr. Kitton had charge of them, aud does not his conduct give some semblance of suspicion that he has taken more than a passing inter eat in thefinal decision of this matter? A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. Our reorganized City Council has we fear set a very dangerous pre cedent by their action upon the City Treasurership. We apprehend this action is mainly du to a mis conception by the members of then-duties and functions. While City Councils are perpetual legisla tive bodies the process of annual re organization renders each Council perfectly independent of its pre decessor. In other word the Council just organized, is as distinct from tho old Council, as Is the present Legis ture from the Legislature of 1871. In acting officially upon any sub ject, the members of the present Council are not to be Influenced by their personal observations, or expe rience in any former council, but they must in all cases be governed by the official record. Neither partizanship, personal prejudice or outride pressure should for a moment swerve them from their sworn obligations of impartial action. Tlie very first duty of the reorganized Concil, was to examine the bonds presented by the various city officers. The charter declares who these officers are, and the official canvass made in pursuance of the 'charter declares who was elected to each respective office. That record was to be the sole guide of the Council, and pa quibbling about a contest in progress outside of the Council could be permitted to inter- vse- Tlie rrima fac5e evidcnc according to the journal of the last Council, is that John Baunier was duly elected Treasurer. When Baumer presented his bond for ap proval the Council kad no right to plead ignorance as to who was elected, but they were bound to ex amine his bond, and if found suffix cient to approve it. What right have they to know anything about jg testimony now being taken in the Johnson-Baumer case before that testimony is officially placed before them for con sideration? If the Democratic ma jority of the Council could arrogate to themselves the right to ignore the official canvassers in one case, could they not do so with equal pro priety in another case ? How did they know that Chase was elected Mayor, unless they came- to that knowledge by the record. Looking upon the issue from the legal standpoint, wc must say that this is a very dangerous pre cedent for any political party to establish. The first principle of the Republican form of government is, that popular majorities rule. The next and equally important princi ple is, submission to the decision of popular majorities. Now, admit ting for the sake of ar gument, that Johnson did receive more votes than were awarded to him by the Judges of election, he has his legal remedy. While seeking to establish his claims to that office he has no right to refuse peaceable possession of his office to the person that was de clared duly elected by the official canvassers. When the tribunal that renders final decision in his case de clares him properly elected, he will have the right to resume the office. Supposing the taking of testimony should continue forsixmontlis, and at the end of that time Baumer is found properly elected, who will compensate him for tho time lost ? We have no reason to doubt that our position in this instance will be sustained by Judge Lake. It is sustained by the only precedent on record in this city in the case of ltosewater vs. House. The Gounp'l was at that time Re publican. The official canvasogave a majority to tho Democratic candi date for City Engineer. Although a notice of contest had be-on served, the Council ordered the CIrk to issue the certificate to Mr. Hou?, and vybea that gentleman presented his bond it was promptly approved without prejudica to the contestants. Since writing this artiole we learn through the Nebraska City papers that Judge Gaunt has decided the case of Tuxbury, referrod to In our last issue, by issuing a writ of man damus that compelled their City Council to issue a certificate of elec tion to Tuxbury, notwithstanding the fact that his opponent contests his election and demands a recount. There is cheating in all trades, but ours; and there are hypocrites in every church, hut ours. If there arc rascally middlemen, why should there not also be selfish, greedy, and corrupt Grangers? Human nature Is the same everywhere, an3 the grangecannot expect exemp tion from its laws. We indulge in these reflections after perusing the just complaint of Mr. Prince against Allen Root. We take it for granted that men are not to be judged by their profes sions, but by their acts. Mr. Root's actions give tho llo to his profes sions, and stamp him as unworthy of the important trusts confided to him by the Douglas County Grang ers. While he professes to bo actuated by pure motives, he proves to be Impelled by a desire to defraud a poor mechanic out of his just dus. While he pleads against lawyers and advocates ar bitration, he Is the very first man to drag others into a Justcics Court. While he pro fessses great friendship for working men, he is the very man that seeks to deprive them of their rights. If the Grangers of Douglas coun ty want to make a creditable im pression upon the citizens, of Omaha, they will have to discard such lead ers as Mr. Root. STATURAL CUEI61TIES. A Maltese fox was recently tured in Chester county, Pa. cap- "A Carlisle, Pa., hen lays eggs with black shells." A pig with two snouN and three eyes is the latest anatomical wonder at Bloomiugton. The Cincinnati Acclimatization Society has imported twenty-three kinds of birds. A child born at Sargeant Bluffs, last week, had a fully developed front tooth. In the English river Thames no salmon have been seen for more than a generation. Tho river was once noted for containing the best in the world. Castor beans are growing wild in Tular county, Cal., living over from season to season, until in some cases they grow into symmetrical trees from ten to twenty feet high. A lively trade in pecan trcei has sprung up at St. Marys, Georgia, over 100 trees having been shipped from that point to Florida last week. One tree alone, in that place, yields $25 net profit in one season. North Carolina, having signally failed in the volcano business, has produced a baby with only half the usual quota of eyes and ears, but a double supply of fingers and toes. A Lexington (Ky.) paper says there is a negro girl in Brucetown about nine years of age whose mem ory is remarkable. Her wonderful powers were first brought to the notice of a white man, who had been reading aloud in her presence the day before and aecidontly heard her repeat, word for word, what he had read from the paper, though twenty-four hours had intervened. After this he tested her memory frequently, and has found her cap able of repeating thirty or forty lines from a bock after hearing It read onceover. Her Intellect In other respects does not seem at all above, if equal to, the average. In Charleston, recently, a large dog gave chase to a poor little black and tan, whose hind leg had been injured, but, failing to overtake him, turned about and trotted slow ly back. In a short time the small dog returned, followed by a large Newfoundland, who, upon reaching the corner, "seemed to be looking for something," when the little dog gave two or three sharp barks, as much as to say, "That's the dog who chased me," at the same time indi cating by his actions the large black dog, who was then at some distance. Whereupon the little dog's ally im mediately attacked and severely punished tho aggressor, who was glad enough to try the swiftness of his feet for safety. After this little affair the small dog and his friend returned down the street, apparent lj much pleased with their part of the late transaction. How did the small dog impart the idea to the large one? On the Island of Borneo has been found a certain race of wild crea tures, of which kindred varieties have leen discovered in the Phillip pine Islands, Terra del Fuego, and In South America. They walk, usually, almost erect, on two legs, and in that attitude measure about four feet in height. They construct no habitations, form no families, scarcely associate together, sleep in caves, feed on snakes and vermin, on ants' eggs, and on each other. They cannot be tamed or forced to any labor, and are hunted and shot among the trees like the great gorilla, of which they are a stunted copy. When captured alive ono j finds with snrprise that their un couch jabbering sounds are like articulate language. They turn up a human face to gaze at their cap tors, and females show Instincts of modesty. In fine, these wretched beings are men and women. Siam Weekly Advertiser. Mr. J. R. Brockington, of Black Mingo, Williamsburg county, is re sponsible for the following snake story: "A dog belonging to a colored man, while trying to catch a large and ferocious hog, was cut or bit by the hog on the left side just below the ribs, and out of the orifice made by the hog's teeth crawlsd two large snakes. Ono was alive and apparently in perfect health. The other was severed or cut in two by the hog's teeth, and of course was dead. The color was bright red, striped with blue inter mixed. They were about three feet six inobes long and two inohes In circumference. They were snakes in every particular. The dog is living and in its usual condition." Charleston, S. G, Courier. HQtfEY FOE THE LADIES. "Mother may I go out to vote ?" "Not yet, my darling daughter; 'Cause you wear a puckered petticsat. They say you hadn't orter." Importers affirm that there are nearly 1,200 tints in gloves. Three sisters own and operate a Maine flouring mill, and aro making money. Most men like to see themselves in print. Ladies like to see them selves in silks and velvets. A lady passenger from Virginia City, March 31st, on arriving at Reno, fell seriously ill, and retired to a room at the Depot Hotel. Dr. Bergman relieved the sufferer. It was a girl baby. Amongthe rare things given Patti in Russia is a canary bird of gold as large as life, with a bill of pearl and diamond eyes. The jewels which the Duchess of of Edinburgh brought with her to England are said to be worth $2,500, 000, and include as many as 100 bracelets. We have no doubt, as the Ameri can Sentinel says, the "coming woman" will bo a woman still after Easter; but then one will have to go through so much bonnet, bomba zine, and lijouterc, to find her. The New Orleans Picayune wants fomo of the female crusaders to visit that city, and try and remove some of the bars from the mouth of the Mississippi. A Texas man claims to havo in vented a flat-iron that will smooth a sheet in a minuto, but it is too heavy to be used as a domestic mis sile. If ever bonnets were a cause of bewilderment, they are astonishing ly so this season. There is no "pre vailing shape." Tho styles differ with every wearer. A female bill poster is doing an extensive business in Now York. The sex was always good at running up bills. Boston J)st. Why do not the ladies, now that decorating rooms with artificial flowers has become fashionable, adopt the pretty device of fastening sprays of blossoms and leaves on lace curtains, and in the lace on toilet tables ? The effect is excel lent. Darwin D. Hall, a prominent and rich man in St. Johnsbury, Vt., committed suicide the other day, "on account of trouble with his hired girl," If everybody having this sort of trouble should do this sort of a thing, how tragic would the times become! Rev. G. W. Field, of Bangor, is said to have created quite a sensa tion, Sunday, by telling the ladles of his congregation that they had bet ter reform some of their follies in dress before undertaking to make angels of beer drinkers. The funniest thing on the street this month is the appearance of a sharp-nosed woman In the bonnet of the period and a mask veil. The latter article hangs over the tip of the wearer's nose with all the grace of an umbrella covering over a broken rib. Boston Transcript A poor family In Denison, Ohio, consisting of a husband, a wife, and seven children, were on the point of starvation. Somebodj' raised $100 for them, and what did the wife do with it ? She bought a silk dress for $70, and began to take music les sons, The new boat in Paris is the Poin peian. It is of black velvet, and very high, the legging in front all Venetian cut work, embroidered with silver cord, and a pink or Pompelan red silk stocking Is thus seen through the open tlover or diamond-shaped design. It is said that "the Empress of Germany is one of the most simple dressed of women," and that "she drives out In a calico dress." So much for being known to. have plenty of money. It is tho women who can't pay for fine clothes that are compelled to wear them. Courier-Journal. In appearance and manner, I find the average Parisian female all I had expected. The boots fit beauti fully; the stockings are of the purest white. Her step, on the street, is a lively graceful trip. The bend is Grecian without exaggera tion. She can carry even an um brella with such grace that the awk ward protective mechanism in her hands becomes a symmetrical ad junct to herperson. Prentice Mul-ford. How the Puppet EmperorLooked. ChUc!burst Correspondence of X. Y. World. At a quarter past 11 the gilded gates of Camden place were thrown open and a carriage appeared con taining the Empress and Prince Im perial, Prince Lucien Bonaparte and Prince Lucien Murat. A great ery arose from the crowd; for the first time in his life this young man,who to-day had attained his eighteenth year, heard himself acclaimed as Caesar. " T7re F Empereurl" was was the cry, and it was taken up and echoed and re-echoed by the crowd that lined the way to tlie church until the shout almost the merry clangor of the bells of the Protestant pari-h church, when at this moment began to ring a wel come. I was standing close to the side of the carriage, as owing to the density of the crowd it paused until way could be made for it, and I looked narrowly at tho Prince to ob serve tlie effect which these accla mations might have on him. He had taken oft his hat to bow ; his face certaily flushed, perhaps with pride, perhaps with humility. It is no common face he is yetsoj-oung that no one can teil what there may be in him but it is the face of one who has confidence in himself and in his "star." Throughout the whole of the day he boro himself with dignity, composure aud grace. The Empress was looking extreme ly well. I had been told she had greatly aged, but I could not see It. She is still handsome, and, as I had opportunities of proving later in tlie day, is as winning ami charming as ever. J.
