It now looks as if Nebraska would
not remain the baby State of tho
Union much longer. The bill for the
admission of New Mexico as a State
has been agreed upon by tho House
Committee, on Territories, and all
the members representing theTrans
Missouri Territory, are pledged to
its support.
Drives to desperation and de
spair by the ugly and fatal disclos
ures made by one brother-in-lav,
Mr. Edward Johnston has placed
another brother-in-law upon tho
witness stand to impeach the char
acter of the man whoso veracity
Johnston did not dare to doubt.
Comment upon such a spectacle Is
entirely superfluous.
Great preparations are in pro
gress lu astronomical circles all over
the world for observing the transit
of Venus in September. Two parties
will start from San Francisco about
the middle of August for China and
Japan. Professor Davidson, of the
United States Crast Survey, will bo
in charge of the party going to
Jnnan. while Professor "Watson, of
Ann Arbor, Mich., University, will
command the party going to Pekin,
China.
Any man or paper that says that
Edward Johnson has admitted, in
his testimony or otherwise,the truth
of Vandergift's charge against him,
willfully and deliberately states a
falsehood. Herald.
This kind of bluff might be ap
propriate in a keno room or in a po
ker club, but it will not answer the
purpose in an intelligent, unbiaMHl
community. Did not Edward John
son swear that he believed Vander
gift would not testify falsely?
The Herald may denounce the
Bee and its editor as liars, but that
will not, and cannot wipe out the
fact that Johnson did not dare to
deny Vandergift's statements when
he had an opportunity to do so on
the witness stand.
THE DUTY OF COUBCILYEli'.
The question is. AVho received a
majority of the votes for City Treas
urer at the late election? That's
the question, and the only question
before the City Council, and we
have not the slightest doubt about
how it Mill answer it Herald.
Yes that is precisely the question.
The judges and clerks of election
sworn to deal impartially with all
candidates have returned a majority
for John Baumer.
In accordance with theso returns
John Baumer was. declared duly
elected by the board of canvassers,
and although the City Council
sought to evade their duty, a judicial
tribunal decreed that the City Clerk
must issue a certificate of election
to him. And now the question is
who received a majority of the
votes? The prima facia evidence
says that John Baumer. The bur
den of tho proof to dislodgo Baumer
devolves upon Johnson.
It is not only necessary for John
ston to prove that a majority of the
ballots found in the ballot boxs at
the time of the recount were in his
favor, but he must prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that these ballots
yero identical with those counted
by tho. Judges of election. Every
doubt about this identity must nec
essarily go in favor of Baumer.
In order to arrive at a just and
honest conclusion, the City Council
must consider first, whether there
was any possibility of tampering
with the ballots between the time
that they left the hands of the
judges, and the time they were re
counted. Second. "Whether the contestant
Johnson was disposed to use cor
rupt.or dishonorable means, in order
to secure a verdict in his own favor.
If the evidence in this case shows
conclusively, that there was any
possibility of tampering with the
ballots, the doubt must go in favor
if Baumer.
If it should furthermore transpire
In evidence that Johnson had
sought to employ corrupt means for
the purpose of counting himself in,
there could be no possiblo excuse
for reversing the verdict of the can
vasBers. Now, we do not propose
to bandy personal epithets, but
we intend to appeal to reason, hon
or and conscience.
The Herald claims to know just
what the Council or rather the Dem
ocratic majority will do in this case.
Does the Herald claim that these
CouBcilmen have determined to
, verride the law, ignore the testi
, jBoeyand defy common decency,

A special dispatch to the Bee
from Washington announces the
amicable settlement of the Omaha
bridge controversy. According to
our correspondent the compromise
involves no surrender on the part of
the Union Pacific of the control of
the bridge, nor does it propose to
lnauguerate radical changes in its
management Omaha will con
tinue as the recognized terminus of
the road, and will as heretofore re
main the transfer point for all pas-
r sengers. 'me transrer 01 ireignis w,
however, to be hereafter conducted
on the Iowa side. This will confer
no substantial advantages upon
Spoon Lake.
Haifa dozen switchmen and a
dozen laborers will probably be able
to handle all the freight that is to
be re-loaded over there. A great
portion of the through freight will
always pass over the bridge with
out change of cars, and nothing
will prevent the Iowa and Missouri
roads from delivering Omaha
freights, as they are now doing.
If the transfer of passengers at
Omaha bocomes a fixed fact it can
hardly be long before the Iowa roads
will come to the sane conclusion
that it will pay them best to receive
and deliver their passengers in the
Omaha depot
A bill authorizing the employ
ment of short-hand reporters by U.
S. Circuit and District Judges is to be
reported by the House Judiciary
Committee in a few days, If this
bill becomes a law, business in the
U. S. Courts will be very much fa
cilitated. 4-11-44.
A Policy Dealer's Ideas of Gam
bling. The following interesting extract
is taken from the report of a conver
sation between a notorious polici'
man of Brooklyn and a reporter of
the Union ot that city :
"Have j'ou seen the order issued
by Police Commissioner Gardner of
New York?" inquired the policy
dealer.
The reporter replied that he had
not, but inferring as a matter of
course that it related to policy, In
quired what effect it had.
"Well," said the policy dealer,
laugliing, " it's like all other orders.
We have to keep a little close, you
know. But then we have to run
chances in our business."
"See here now," asked tbe re
porter, "does it really pay you to run
such risks? Could you not invest
the same time, energy and money
in a more honest business and reap
larger profits?"
The policy man siirugged his
shoulders. '"Well I might, and
again I mightn't."
" But," queried the reporter, "set
ting aside gain, do you never feel
any compunctions in obtaining
money in this way?"
" No," was the frank reply. ' It
is just tills way; men will squander
their money anyhow; and they
might do it just as well one way as
another. Why, policy dealing is no
worse than liquor selling. 1 Hold
that It isn't so bad, for a man tbat
drinks will often do dreadful acts
while drunk."
"But that is no excuse for your
doing wrong."
"That'fltrue; but then policy Is
a regular business, and we've got to
make money to get along in this
world. Now, I'm c temperance
man ; I never drink. So you see
00110 men are not quite as bad as
some" people think."
"If it is true as is charged," in
quired the reporter, "that policy
depends for support solely upon the
noorest classes, can you call it hon
orable or respectable?"
" As to that," was the reply, " if
we depended on the poor, policy
would not last long ; no, sir, it is
not the poor who patronize policy.
You would bo surprised if I should
give you the names of some men
right here in Williamsburgh who
play policy. Why there are men
who invest a thousand dollars at a
time, and think nothing at all of
It."
"Such men must be infatuated,"
dryly observed tho reporter.
" Not all of them. Many of them
plaj because they know that they
can win," remarked the policy deal
er. " Oh, that's all very well for you
to say,' added the reporter, laugh
ing, " but I know from personal ob
servation that many poor people
deal in policy, some of them spend
ing the last ten cents they have. I
can recall a dozen just such persons
being arrested at the same time with
policy dealers. You know it too."
"Well, of course poor people play
as well as rich people," replied the
man. " I can say for myself that I
never took the last cent from a poor
person, and I've often sent just such
persons away because I did not wish
them to run any risks. But then,
again, T ve helped many a poor man
to money."
41 Then you consider the invest
ment a very uncertain one?"
" No, I don't either," he replied.
"All investments are risky. Why,
I could have made lots of money If
I chose hut I swore off playing."
By this time the boat had touched

Senator McBeth's "Humbug"
mine, says Measure for Measure, is
proving itself to be the very opposite

amount of rich ore constantly being

but then, what's in a name?
The number of feet of lumber
manufactured in 1873 in the Lake
Tahoe Bason is estimated at 300,
000,000. Nearly all of this was
shipped to Virginia City and Gold
Hill. A considerable portion of it
was mining timber.
Isaac Lennox recently discovered
a large cave in White Pine county,
Nevada. In it were numerous
relics of a by-gone age, in the shape
of curiously-fashioned earthenware
as pottery, which were scatterea
over the lloor. In one corner was
found a large pile of crucibiles of the
same shape of those now in use by
alchemists and assayers, but of
much larger size. Some rude im
plements made from stone, resemb
ling in shape the old-fashioned
grubbing hoe, were also discovered.
UTAH.
The Ontario, McHenry and Flag
staff mines, a distance of about
three and a half miles from the pro
posed line of railroad, are all in a
flourishing condition, and turning
out large quantities of ore.
At Hailstone, some seven miles
north of Heber City, some parties
are erecting new smelting works,
and have let contracts for about
100,000 bricks and large quantities
of lumber, to be delivered in three
weeks.
In Cedar City, of the seventy-five
heads of families, forty have gone
into, and thirty-five have stayed
out of tho United Order. The "out

During the past winter the poople
of Wasatch county have been very
fortunate with their stock, not hav
ing lost a single head through scar
city of feed, etc., but lately some of
the settlers on Deer Creek, near
Charleston, have been pestered with
the raiding of grizzly bear, who
have already succeeded in making
away with five head of cattle and
woundiag and mangling a number
of others. A number of persons
have organized to hunt Mr. Bruin,
and we expect soon to see some bear
meat in the market.

The road between Murphy's and
the Big Tree grovo of Calaveras has

been shoveled out so that carriages
can reach the hotel, and the numer

of the trip.
In regard to the growing crops,

Eeport
of the Senate Select
Committee.
The Conclusions Arrived at.
rWas'.lngton Chronicle, April 25th.l
Yesterday in the Senate Mr.
Windom, in accordance with pre
vious notice, submitted the report
of the Select Committee on Trans
portation. The document is a vol
umiuious one, though the com
mittee do not pretend to have
treated the subject exhaustively.
Careful attention was given by the
Senate during the reading of the
report. After a brief resume of the
principal subjects which have espe
cially commanded the attention of
the committee, and which, with
others, are embraced in their report.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEXD
for present action the following:
1. Thut all railway companies,
freight lines, and other common
carriers engaged in transporting
passengers or freights from one State
into or through another be required
under proper penalties, to make
publication at every point of ship
ment from one State to another of
their rates and fares, embracing all
the particulars regarding distance,
classifications, rates, special specili
cations, rates, special tariffs, draw
backs, etc., and that they be pro
hibited from increasing such rates
above the limit named in the publi
cation without reasonable notice to
tho public, to be prescribed by law.
2. That the combinations and
consolidations with parallel or com
peting lines are evils of such magni
tude as to demand prompt and vig
orous measures for their prevention.
3. That all railway companies,
freight lines, and other common
carriers employed in transporting
grain from one State into or through
another should be required, under
proper regulations and penalties, to
be provided by law, to receipt for
quantity, and to account for the
same at its destination.
4. That all railway companies and
freight organizations receiving
freights in one State to be delivered
in another, and whose lines touch
at any river or lake port, be prohibi
ted from charging moro to or from
such port, than for any greater dis
tance on the same line.
5. Stock inflations, generally
known as "stock-wateriiig," are
wholly indefensible; but tbe remedy
for this evil seems to fall peculiarly
within the province of the States
who havo created the corporations
from which such praotices proceed.
The evil is bclie ed to be of suoh
magnitude as to require prompt and
efficient State action for its preven
tion, and to justify any measures
that may bo proper, and within
tho range of national authority.
C. It Is believed by the committee
that great good would result from
the passago of State laws prohibit
ing oflicers of railway companies
from owning or holding directly or
indirectly, any interest in any "non-co-opcrative
freight line" or car com
pany operated upon tho railroad
with which they are connected in
such official capacity.
7 For the purpose of procuring
and laying before Congress aud the
country such complete and reliable
information concerning the busi
ness of transportation, and the
wants of commerce as will enable
Congress to legislate intelligently
upon the subject, it Is recommended
that a bureau of commerce in one
of the Exeouti ve Departments of the
Government be charged with the
duty of collecting and reporting to
Congress information concerning
our internal trade and commerce,"
and be clothed with authority of"
law, under regulations to le pre
scribed by the head of such Depart
ment, to require each antf every
railway and other transportation
company engaged in Inter-State
transportation to make a report,
under oath of the proper officer of
such company, at least once each
year, whieh report should embrace,
among other facts, tho following,
namely: 1. The rates and fares
charged from all points of shipment
on its line in ono State to all points
of destination in another State, in
cluding classifications and distances,
and all drawbacks, deductions, and
discriminations ; 2. A full and de
tailed statement of receipts and ex
penditures, Including the compen
sation of oflicers, agents, and em
ployees of the company; 3. Tho
amount of stock and bonds issued,
the price at which they were sold,
and the disposition made of the
funds received from suoh sale ; 4.
The amount and value of commo
dities transported during the year,
as nearly as the same can be ascer
tained, together with such other
facts as may be required by the head
of such bureau, under the authority
of law.
THE PBOTOSED IMPROVEMENTS
are k) located as to distribute tholr
benefits with great equality among
all of the States East of the Rocky
Mountains. Twenty-one of those
States are situated directly on one or
more of said routes; two States,
Kansas and Nebraska, are so situa
ted as to enjoy the full benefits of
reduced cost of transportation from
the Mississippi river by all of tho
proposed lines. Eleven estates, viz;
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachu
setts, Connecticut, Rhode IslanJ,
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Florida, and Texas,
nearly all of which consume largely
the food of the West, and most of
which are to a great extent depend
ent upon tho West for a market for
their manufactures and other pro
ducts, are directly connected by the
waters of the ocean with their sev
eral termini. The proposed im
provements will, therefore, con
nect by the cheapest known
means of transport everyone of
the thirty-four States east of the
Rocky mountains with all tho oth.
ers, and but one State in the Union
will be without water connection
with the whole world. The accom
plishment of so great a result, by au
expenditure of money comparative
ly so small, illustrates the wonder
ful provisions of nature for cheap
commercial facilities on this conti
nent This provision, It is believed, will
prevent tho discriminations now
practiced against such ports, and
will enable States which are separa
ted from water lines by .intervening
States to reach such lines at reason
able cost Congress has no power
to regulate commerce wholly with
in a State, and hence States border,
ing upon such water lines will reg
ulate the rates to porta within their
own territory.
