The centennial elephant was again put In training in the lower house of Congress yesterday. Our "Washington advices intimate that it will take the whole week to put him through. A marked feature of the present era of reconciliation are tho resolu tions passed by the Xew York posts of the grand army of the Republic to make no discrimination between the graves of Confederate and Union soldiers on decoration day. - The Finance bill introduced in the lower 'House of Congress by Representative Hooper, of Massa chusetts, Tuesday, provides for the issue of an additional national bank note circulation to the States or Ter ritories having less circulation than $10 per capita of population, and for the withdrawal of legal-tender notes at the rate of 25 per cent of the additional issuo of National Bank notes until the outstanding legal-tender notes shall be reduced to $356,000,000, and prohibiting na tional banks charging more than 7 3-10 per cent for interest or dis count. The Herald advocates tho en couragement of manufactures in Omaha by tax exemption. This was precisely George Francis Train's) recommendation to our City Coun cil, and the Herald probably remem bers how that body treated it. "While the Bee has always advoca ted home manufactures as the surest foundation to commercial prosperity the principle of tax exemptions Is contrary to the spirit of justice Furthermore it would be in direct conflict with our Constitution, wliich distinctly prohibits such dis crimination in favor of corpora tions. The only way Omaha can en courage home manufactures is by private subscription of bonuses, and by devising the means whereby manufacturers thall have an abundant supply of cheap water and cheap coal. It takes almost as much strategy to obtain possession of the great seal of Arkansas as it did to cabbage the great seal of Nebraska upon a memorable occasion. The great seal of Arkansas hap pens, as it were, to be in possession of Governor Brooks, who is securely intrenched at the State Capitol. Baxter, the other claimant, being. desirous of issuing gubernatorial proclamations is anxious to possess himself of this regal insignia. In order to overcome this de ficiency ho ordered a fac simile of the great seal from a St. Louis en gravcrer. The signet reached Llttlo Rock b3 express Monday, but the crafty Brooks having some how scented danger in the air, promptly detached one of his staff officers, who confiscated the contra band article and placed it Into the iiaima oi ms master. Aim now Brooks has two great seals of State, wliile Baxter is disconsolate over his seal-less condition. OtniXew York dispatches convey the gratifying intelligence that the managers of the Union Pacific pro pose to take active measures for the development of the vat mineral re sources in "Wyoming and Utah. This in accordance with a pro gramme long since foreshadowed that that company would utilize the inexhaustible coal beds and iron mines of the Rocky Mountain re gion by establishing reduction works, rolling mills and foundries, at some convenient point on the line of the road. While tho development of the agricultural wealth of the fertile Platte Valley will form ihe basis of a lucrative local traffic, the inhospl tal and sterile mountain ranges of Wyoming and Utah are destined at no very distant day to become the back bone of the pioneer trans-continental read. With the superior facllites pos sessed by the .company it will re quire no superhuman efforts to solve the great problem of emancipating the people of tne trans-Missouri ter ritory from the burdensome yoke of eastern manufacturers. Let the Union Pacific once demonstrate tho feasibility of iron manfacture in Wyoming, and private capital which has been timidly waiting Tile Xouisiana muddle is bad enough, but tho Arkansas muddle is simply outrageous.

We deem the following points worthy of reproductiotion : Your candidate Paddock will have to look out very sharp, or he will be distanced on the first heat for a seat where Tipton now sits. Stone crushing is not so hlguly ap preciated in Nebraska a3 tree plant ing, and there is where Governor Paddock made a mistake in adopt ing the smashing of stones Instead of planting trees. Thayer, seeing Paddock's weakness, took advant age of it, and has gone into the tree business on a large scale. Furnas planted a vineyard, and was elected Governor. Koenig camo from a section of countij' where tho "cottonwood grows," and was twice elected State treasurer. Gosper planted a nursery and in troduced some boar pigs he suc ceeded James as secretary of State. Weston scattered a few walnuts,and is now Auditor of State. Hitch cock was mado U. S. Senator be cause he favored the planting of one hundred and sixty acres of timber on every quarter f-ection of land in Nebraska. Thus it is, no ono need aspire to an office in Nebraska unless ho is a tree-planter of some import ance. WESTERN NEBRASKA. An Unwelcome Said. Bapid Growth of County. Merrick Grangers and Politicians- Capital Eemoval. Correspondence of tho Bee J LoxeTrhe, Mayo, 1674. Great excitement prevails here, owing to Uncle Samuel sending out subpoenas for a large number of our quiet, industrious citizens, to appear before the Grand Jury in Omaha. Deputy 3rarshal Culbertson, accom panied by our very efficient Sheriff, have been out and served tho invi tations, and, now the general in quiry is, "what is it for."' The Marshal don't know of coure, and no one knows; many think it Is tho Railroad Injunction case, but others with more judgment think that it is on account of somo of our leading farmers having so much wood that once belonged to poor Lo scattered around loosely on their premises. Your correspondent leans to the lat ter belief, however. Be it what it may, many aro scared, and it is rumored that largo wood own ers have threatened that if any of the witnesses blow on them they can't live in the county any longer, so you see we yill all be afraid to tell. The worst feature of the whole business, to my mind, is that it takes the men from their farms just in the busiest time, and I earnestly hope for the good of these poor men, "(for most of them have little of this world's filthy lucre,) that District Attorney Neville will let them off as soon as possible, and only trj' to convict those who have taken all the wood, because they were able to hire men and had teams to haul it, and not the homesteaders who only took a a little, and that from sheer neces sity. But enough of this, our county generally is flourishing, not as be fore the panic, but steadily picking up, and if crops are good we will all be content. Population Is steadily increasing west, and has reached upwards of 3,000 in our littlo coun ty, and some have an idea that that there will be a west end to our State yet, and not all east. The Grange excitement Is not so nign as or yore. -Nearjy mi nave joined who could raie the stamp., and some who could not, embryo politicians iurniatmig them. You see the leading farmers see political power in It and every new number in their vein is another vote. Your correspondent thinks, however, that the average Granger will vote to suit himself, and only joins the or ganization for the benefits that will accrue socially and pecuniarily. There is already too many men in the organization who have joined for political purposes an all know; to make it perfectly harmonious, and now that election approaches the wires commence to vibrate. The Ninth District will have more than nine candidates for the State Senate, and the Twenty-fourth more than twenty-tour forRepresentative, and all sure to win. I think our delegation in Congress north of the Platte have given un usual satisfaction this winter, and do not believe they will be changed. Their ojjportunity to be sure have mostly been confined to the East, and in this they will have to look out for more dissatis faction. The removal of the Capi tal from Lincoln will bo an issue in the coming election, for where it is, and as it is, the State is in no way benefitted, and honest thinking men generally believe that it should be on the U. P. Railroad,not farther east than Columbus, and removed from the presence of the old cor ruptionists that built it and nearly ruined the State. A State admin istration can hardly be elected that will uot succumb to the old Butler ring, if left at Lincoln. I think no Republican had an idea at the last convention, but that Kennard & Co. was at last busted when Furnas was nominated. Then just imagine the humiliation of the Governor's friend from tho course he has pursued. No, Mr. Bee, if the West generally un derstoodthe situation, there would not be enough left of the old party wire-pullers to make a respectable THE COLORADO SCANDAL The Charges Against McCook. General (Washington Correspondence Xew York Tribune-) The Senate Committee on Terri tories, which has spent several months in the examination of charges against ex-Gov. McCook, whoni the President had renomi nated to bo governor of Colorado, lias reported the same to the Sen ate in Executive session with the testimony that has been taken. The first charges were signed by several citizens of Colorado, includ ing Delegate Chaffee, a member of the Territorial Legislature, an ex Indian agent, and several others. They accused Gov. McCook of fraudulent practices while Governor of Colorado in connection with cer tain contracts to supply cattle to the Ute Indians, by which the Govern ment is alleged to have lost S30,000; of approving a divorce bill more than eight months after tno legis lature had adjourned; that he had received money for his influence to have an official retained in office, and that he had been interested in the profits of discounting vouchers for an Indian contractor, the pay ment of which depended upon his own approval. In regard to the cattle contracts, the only question was in regard to the character of the animals furnished by the contractor. The agreement was to deliver American cattle, and McCook's accusers assert that he and his brother-in-law, who in spected them, allowed "Texas" oat tle to be furnished, tho latter being worth only about one-half as much as the former. The testimony taken by the committee was con flicting, but the conclusion that sev eral members of the committee ar rived at was that the cattle were of mixed blood, and that, although they were not what would be known as "native" cattle in the Eastern States, they were not "Texas" cows. They were, in fuct, what were known as "American" cattle in Colorado at the time the contract was made. Tlie Committee conclude that, as the officiaijournals of tho Legislar ture represent the divorce bill re ferred to in the second charge as having been feigned before tho ad. journment of the Legislature, the charge that ho signed it eight months after is not pre -id. It appears that a gentleman who held it United States office in Color ado, and who was threatened with removal, requested Gov. McCook to come to Washington and use his influence for his retention, and paid to the Governor, probably to cover the expenses of the journey and his stay In this Dty,S,000. It is un derstood that no corrupt rnotlvp has been provided on the part either of McCook or the man In whose inter est he acted. In regard to the charge that Gov. McCook shared in the profits of "shaving" the vouchers of Indian contractors, tje payment of which depended upon his approval, the facts seem to be these : An Indian Agent in McCook's superintendency had, without authority, made a verbal contract for goods amounting to $3,000. When tljo bill was pre sented to Gov. MaCook he refused to approve It without investigation, on account of tho irregularity. But tho contractor was greatly in need of tho money, and offered to sell it for fifty cents on a dollar. Mr. Thompson, McCook's brother-in-law and private secretary, went to thp bank with the con tractor, and by promising to secure the approval of the voucher, nego tiated its sale and furnished a part of the money to buy it. The bill was aftorwnrd approved and the money paid to Thompson, but was not allowi d at the department for two years. The banker, who is a partner of Delegate Chafiie, swears that Thompson told him that the profits on the voucher were to be divided between Gov, McCook, the banker, and himself. Both Thom son and McCook swear that the latter never had any interest in it.and did not know thatThomp son had until long afterward, and that then, on Thompson's account, he paid to the banker $800 as his share of the profits out of his own pocket and reprimanded Thompson for his part in the affair. The whole contest has grown out of tho personal relations between McCook and Delegate Chaffee, whose particular friend Elbert, now Governor of the Territory, will be removed if McCook is confirmed. The President is on McCook's side and will not withdraw his name. Ohio on the Veto, ICIereland ITeraM, May 2. J The weekly Ohio newspapers do not criticise the veto: A majority of them think the veto wise; the minority think that the President, if he erred, did so on the right side. Almost unanimously the weekly Ohio press believes that the finan cial question had best be let alone, to work out its own problem. Henoo the veto can do no harm. So far as it is nu tutoring wedge for the disruption of the Republi can party, we see no symptoms of that in Ohio. We do not aver that the Republican party is as strong as ever in Ohio. A Dian would be t knave or fool who should olajtn that there are no signs of weakness in tho party. All we say is, that the party Mill sutler no detriment In Ohio through the veto. There are other causes that may knock Jt Into a cocked hat, but the veto will not add one element to such causes. As a rule the Ohio weekly press takes very little interest in the vto matter. Why, we cannot say. But from that fact M-e argue that the country does not feel great financial stringenc3, and that the rural dis tricts are moving on as usual In theiraccustomed activities. Mining, manufacturing, and mechanical centers have received a check especially where such industries are connected Mith coal and iron. The oil trade is also very much depress ed, but that is traced to causes out side .of financial panics or embar rassments. Over production is what's the matter with tho oil busi ness, but its depression in localities where oil business is a permanent feature added to the coal and iron depression, all combined have a very sensible effect on the country. On another point, besides the let ting the financial question work it self out, the Ohio weekly press is almost unanimous. It is that there should be no contraction of the cur rency. In all this financial eiscus sion the coutractionists of the great financial centres have been able to place their opponents in a false po sition. Every man of those oppo nents has been denounced as an inflationist M'hile tEe contractlon ists, themselves, have successfully hidden their own hoofs and horns and tail. They are the devil, and they seek contraction. But they have been smart enough though the bad odor of such advocates of the currency bill as Ben F. Butler Logan and such like to make the people believe "that the real issue is M-hethcr there shall be inflation or not The actual issue, all along, has been whether there shall be con- PXTffGEHTISTIC.

Among tho many reforms for which women have come to le grateful, the shoo reform is one of the best. Fair weather is always given as an explanation of streets thronged with women, but In view of this spring's capricious atmos pheres, that reason surely fails. It must "be the prevailing shoe, broad soled, square heeled, aud freer than suffrage, that has driven forth the feminine pedestrine, for oertainly a covering for the foot as "easy" as that of the present walking shoe has not been worn in a long time. Shoes of all kinds are notably plain; even -fancy stitching is out of favor, and nealuess only is imperative, provided the shoe is excellent in fit. Buttoned boots, made of soft, lus treless French kiu, are the kind pre ferred, heavy shoes of pebble goat being added to wardrobes now in preparation for the country. For sensitive feet, easily wearied by walking, uppers of French satin have foxings of kid, only high enough to give strength, and protect the feet from dampness. For carriage wear there are dainty boots of French satin, which lace upon the Instep, and add a quilling of narrow black laoe entirely around both eyelet rows. Such shoes, made of the same material as the dress, are provided Mith elegant dinner and reception costumes, while others of black satin with lace-trimmed lappels upon the Instep are preferred by some for the same purpose. For traveling, kid-buttoned shoes are first in favor, but many ladies are ordering boots of heavy gray Slinnors of linen, corn buff and Brown, are being chosen for neglige toilets in the country, anu these trimmed with rosettes of black, and bright steel buckles, are both suit and.pretty of themselves.

When a gun is discharged total, silence fol lows the report for a moment, then, Mith startling suddenness, the echo is heard, seemingly at a great dis tance say five miles to the south whence it comes back in separate and distinct reverberations, as if leaping from glen to glen.
