E. P.OSEWATEE. Publisher Senator Basis ey of Minnesota, introduced a very important bill in the U, 8. Senate Thursday. It pro vides for the relief of settlers on the odd numbered sections of the lands -within the limits of the Union Pacific land grant As soon as the full text of the bill reaches us we shall present it to our readers. According to the New York Uribune of the fifth, there does not seem to be much prospect for a re distribution of the currency. So long as the question of free bank ing remains unsettled that of dis tribution has but little chance. Those who aro opposed to any change in the present distribution of the currency must unite with those who favor free banking, and these feeem to bo strong enough to prevent any action on a matter which they are agreed should be left undisturbed. It now looks as if General Mc Coolt would have to surrender to the Colorado land grab ring. After the most protracted and repeated dis cussions, the Senato has recommit ted his nomination to the Commit tee on Territories. This may bo considered equal to a rejection, and the General's enemies predict the withdrawal of his name by the President Should these predictions be verified, a long looked for opportu nity will present itself to Honest JohnTaffe. With his back pay record, and his energetic executive ability, he would be just the man to aid the Colorado ring in develop ing the material interest of that Territory. TnE Bee favors encouraging manufacturers, but opposes tax ex emption because "it would be in direct conflict with our constitu tion." "We presume it refers to that clause which reads: "The property of corporations now existing or hereafter created shall forever bo subject to taxation the same as theproperty of individuals." As it docs not necessarily follow that every manufacture Is or must be a corporation, we are unable to perceive tho pertinency of this ob jection Herald. The principal objection to tax ex emptions is the unequal distribution of the burdens of taxation. Now if xnanufacturics, owned by individ uals, were exempted, while those owned by corporations were subject to taxation, there would be unjusti fiable discrimination against corpo rations, which is jnst as undesirable as would be discrimination in their favor. As a practical result of the recent harmonious canclave of the Ameri can railway kings an advance of five cents per hundred pounds In freight over tho competing (?) rail way lines between Chicago and New York is promulgated. Tho Chicago Tribune commenting upon this advance in transportation rates, says : "This movement, fol lowing the opening of navigation, is out of the line of all precedent ; but it is understood that it has been forced by the New York and Erie and New York and Central railroad companies, which have Hues of steamers on the lakes. The rate by steam on lakes and rail to New York is 32 by lake, by rail 45 cents. The advance has been forced in order to drive freight to the lake steamers owned by the two railroads mentioned. The counect- tlng roads have no choice but sub mission. It was a well known fact during "slavery days" that tho most tyran nical slave masters -were American citizens of African descent And now when white philantropists demand civil rights for thp emancipated race we are again confronted by colored men who refuse to concede whits man'erightstoanigger.An interest ing case in point has Just occurred at Atchison. It appears that Gal lender's Georgia Minstrel troupe has been sued by tho Revered A. Twine, a colored minister, for ono thousand dollars damages under the civil rights bill passed by the Kan sas Legislature last winter. The colored "Twine" alleges that the troupe had refused to sell him a uuciiuwc I'liiuruuuinent on ac-4 count of his sable complexion, thereby depriving the aforesaid Twine of a thousand dollars worth of unalloyed pleasure. Suit has also been brought against the same troupe by another Kansas citizen of African descent, who also suffered irreparable injury by this dwerimination. In view of the fact that the Georgia minstrels are made up of highly polished yellownegroes, tiiis case presents a somewhatalngu Jm: auoBsAly, Axd now the Fremont Herald joins its Omaha namesake in an unjustifiable tirade against the Nebraska State University. The Bex has, taken considerable pains to investigate the condition and management of this instiution, and it can safely pronounce the allega tions made by the two Heralds as ill-founded, if not absolutely grund-less. Considering its age and endow ments our State University will compare favorable with any similar institution in the country. "While there is still much room for im provement the progress since its opening has been extremely grati fying. It should be borne in mind that the educational institutions of this State are yet in their infancy. Our High Schools and Normal Schools have not attained that degree of perfec tion which would enable graduates to enter the fresmen's classes of Yale, Harvard or Cambridge. Our University must necessarily adapt its elementary course to the capa bilities of Nebraska students. Upon this basis the University course has been regulated. The marked improvement in our public school system during thepast year, has enabled the chancellor to gradually raise the standard of collegiate studies. It is extremely unjust as well as unkind to the faculty to single out a single professor as the only capablo teacher in the institution. Profes sor Aughey has his merits but others are probably equal to him in their peculiar branches. Ti ie centennial manipulators met with anotherdisastrous check in the lower house of Congress, Thursday. After a careful count of noses they had confidently reckoned upon 13S votes in favor of their three million dollar appropriation, but when the vote was taken the motion to order the bill engrossed was defeated by a voU of 13S to 92. This result is ascribed by the friendsjof the bill to the pig-headed-ness of pig-iron Kelly, who, acting as chief manipulator, objected to, and defeated an amendment provi ding for general amnes,y on July 4th 1876. This stupid Uliberality turned all the Southern Democrats and several Southern Republicans against the bill. And now tho Pennsylvania delegation having their eye teeth cut,has agreed to in corporate the gonoral amnesty clause in order to draw Southern support CACHISE. A Few of the Eccentricities of the Celebrated Apache Chief. From the Las Graces N. 3L Borderer. 1 Several parties came through from Tucson, a few days since, some of whom were at the camp of the noted chief a day or two, and from whom we gather some inter esting items for the public Cachlso, in his intercourse with officers, and when at the agency where his Indians are about, stands upon his dignity. Although speak ing the Spanish language fluently, upon such occasions he uses an in terpreter; but when clone with a few Americans he speaks Spanish and has a great deal of humor, and is fond of a good anecdote. He is extremely anxious that peo pletshall feel safe about him. "When our informant was about to leave the camp, Cachise said to him: "You are safe from the San Pedro to the Mimbres, for this is my country and I shall keep the road safe If I have to station a man every half mile: but if you wish I will send ten men along with you." Upon occasion of a visit ot the chief to the party referred to ho wanted to go down to the settlement on the San Pedro to sea the citizens. Upon arriving there he got the people wgeuier ana maae tnem a talk. He said: "You are in your country, but I con sider you under my protection. I have moved my camp to the Dra goon Mountains, twenty miles from here, and if the San Carlos or Tula rosa Indians come here to depredate i want you to send mo a runner immediately, or I will give you twenty-five men here." At a din ner one dayCachise heard tho report of a gun and sprang up and left the camp. "When he returned he told one of the party, "one of those Tul arosa Indians have shot your horse but I will pay you and make them pay you." Upon investigation it was found that tne Indian had kill ed the horse by accident, but Ca chise said he would teach him how to behave in his camp, and walking up to him, drew his knife as quick and as lightning struck off the end of tho offender's nose. The Chief then compelled the Tularosa Apaches to brimr in four horses for the one killed, which was a valuable animal. Tho owner selected two, but Cachise wanted him to take more. Cachise carries about him a letter from Washington inviting him to tho Capitol, but he says he don't care to go as some of his boys might not beliave properly in his absence. He wishes to re main on his present reservation, where he can see Americans often, as he says he like our people. One thing he says he can'tunder stand. "While the Americans don't wan't him to raid in Sonora and will not buy any stock brought from there, he says the people of Sonora oner-nun a big reservation, and to purchase "all the stock he can get by raiding on thissideof the line. He holds a strong rein over the In dians, on his Teservatiqnj and. is a very strict disciplinarian. A week or so since he was quite unwell and inougnt tne spirits were after him. He called his son aside, and told him that if he died the son must do nothing without first consulting Capt Jefferds who was his friend and would lake care of his children. He says he wants no presents for keeping the peace, but the govern eQtdonotkemita agreement in giving his tribe blankets. We are Informed i&t his people suffered much during the coldweather from :Vn . ol promised blankets. When out upon a hunt and are not successful, they kill a beef, many of which are roaming-upon the reser vation, and come Jn and report From all we can hear, and we have no doubt of the matter, the old chief Is honest and In earnest in his endeavor to live at peace with our people, and the government should live Stnctlr tn to its (yintrnnfQ rltU tketribe. GONE TO BEST. WE1TIEK OS THE DEATH OFXE5. S1UE STO BLE, BY JIB. J. K. WILLS. Gone to her rest where the wild flowers bloom, Sw eetly she's sleeping in yon silent tomb, Where angels and stars their low Tigils keep, O'er the spot where .Mother doth peacefully sleep. Gone from our gizt, the Mother we lored. To bloom far more fair in gardens shore ; To dwell there with angels in hearenly light, Where pain neTer comes the flowers to blight. Gone from our side in heaven to dwell, There nerer is breithed the sad word farewell; Adieu to the ear is a sound nerer luard, Sever is whispe'ed the sad parting words Gone from oar sight to sleep 'Death the sod, Her spirit to dwell with the angels of God, Ah ! yes she has crossed death's mystic tide, Bejolcing and safe to the farther side. Gone, gone from earth to that peaceful shore, Where we hope to meet our Mother once mora, To dwell forerer in regions of bliss, Oh ! e-rth has no J oy that can equal this. Nebraska's Population. Returns from the assessors of twenty-one counties being in, and tho population of new and old coun ties being about tho same as in the whole State, we have a pretty safe basis upon which to calculate tho present population of our State. Tho following table shows the popu lation ef these twenty-one counties in 1870 and 1874: 1870. 1874. Hall 1,057 3,852 Furnas (new) 1,342 Seward 2,953 7,429 Sarpy 2,913 8,164 Sherman 4CQ Jefferson ) ojjrt (3,375 Thayer '44U 13,500 Adams 19 2,692 Platte 1,899 3,944 Madison 1,138 3,335 Clay 54 3,622 Kearney 58 327 Washington 4,472 5,304 Polk 13G 2,764 Merrick 557 3,092 Dodge , 4,212 6,893 Fillmore 238 4,380 Colfax. 1,424 3,458 Cedar 1,032 1,817 Lincoln 17 2,555 Saline 3,106- 7,718 York 604 4,593 Total .28,174 80,612 Taking this as a fair average of tho increase of tho population of the State, only two counties, Furnas and Sherman being included that had no settlement in 1870, -wo find the ratio of increase is 2,8566, a little over, two and eight and one-half tenths. Multiplying the total popu lation of the State in 1870, which was according to the United States census reports 122,093, and we have as the population to-day, 351,465. Ab the proportion of now counties is more than two in twenty-one of the. wholo number of organized coun ties, we may wjth good reason ex pect this to be below the actual figures that the returns will show. But we havo no doubt that we shall bo found with over 350,000 inhabi tants, giving us a sufficient popula tion to entitle us under the present apportionment, to three members of Congress. The full quota for three members would bo 411,000, as 137,000 is the ratio to a member. But the new ap portionment law gives to a frac tion over one-half the ratio an addi tional member to each State. For two members the proportion is, therefore, anywhere between 205, 500 and 254,000; for three mem bers, botwecn 322,500 and 411,000. It is, of course, one thing to have the population; and another thing to get the additional represention. We havo heretofore expressed our doubt as to the prospect. The jeal ousy of tho East of the growing power of the West in Congress In creases and intensifies with each succeeding year, and the manner in which the apportionment was ma nipulated three years ago,by which some of the Now England States were arbitrarily given representa tion, additional to that they were entitled to by tho census returns, while no provision wliatever was made for the transOIissouri States that were known to be increasing from twenty-five to fifty per cent annually, sufficiently indidates the animus of Congress. The local fight on the currency question will only increase this hostility, and result in new wrongs, unless all the West and Southwest from the Allegha nies to tho Pacific can bo induced to concentrate its votes for mutual protection. While we trust that this will be done, we confess that it is doubtful, as there is much jeal ousy between the Western States divided by the Mississippi,and even by the Missouri river and the Sierra I Nevadas. Yet in the race or tueso dinicul ties,Nebraska will be recreant to her duty and unworthy of a position as a soverign btate, it sue does not make a lively fight in behalf of her Tights. The greater the injustice intended the more emphatic should be our outcry, and the more deter mined the effort of our Representa tives. From the present Congress, it will perhaps be useless to expect action, althouKh there will be time to make our caso out before the session closes. But it will not take a very serlotM amount of opposition at this late day to postpone the matter, even if a working majority can be had in our favor. Never theless the sooner the issue is brought up the better, and we strongly recommend that as soon as tne .secretary ot btate nas tne re turns in his office, an official ab stract of the same be forwarded to our Congressional delegates, for them to uso as a basis for a bill giving Nebraska two additional Representatives in Congress. ine coming legislature, in case this bill was by the strenuous exer tions of our Senator and Congress men, parsed, can district the State, leaving our first delegates- to be elected at large, or what would be better, a special session might be called prior to the October election, and the districts formed and the election had by districts next fall. But if, as is likely, no success shall be attained during the present session of Congress, we aro in favor of the plan of electing two contin gent Congressmen next fall, and making the fight for their admis sion into the next Congress, upon the showing of the enumeration, this spring. If Congress refuses, of course there is no appeal, but the effort should be renewed after the more elaborate state census that our constitution directs to be taken next year. This year's census will show an Increase of about 230,000 inhabitants since 1870. Recognising the fact that less than one-half of the In crease of the current year has yet been made, inspection will show that wo have added forty per cent annually to our population. This rate will give us, next spring, an ag gregate of 490,000, a population that would entitle us to four members, having as a fraction over the ration for three the population of 79,000. If Congress still persists In refus ing us additional representation, the consequence will be that Nebraska, in 1SS0, will have one beggarly member for somethintr over a mil lion of people, an Injustice to a State 1 jmoui a parallel In the history of the nation, DTDUSTEIAI P0INT3. The Kankakeo paper mill is going to make band-boxes. 1 Printing paper has been made successfully in Scotland from reeds grown on theJoanks of the Tay. A steel yacht, which will be pro pelled by steam, and is intended to run eighteen miles an hour, is being constructed at Buffalo. The iron industries of Troy, N.Y., particularly tho manufacturing of steel rails, is reported in a flourish ing condition. The demand for railroad iron is so slight that the principal mills in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky are idle, and have not a single order to execute. The Chicago & Alton railroad shops at Bloomington, commenced working full time May 1, but with a reduction of 20 per cent in force. The proposed glass work3at Pe oria are not likely to be built .The projectors have gone home, and will try some other point for a location. The four thousand carpet looms of Philadelphia continue idle, owing to the strike of the carpet weavers. Six thousand persons, directly and indirectly connected with the indus try, have now been out of work for nearly two months. The Schuykill Iron Company of Pottaville, Pa., are about to locate a blast furnace at llackettstown wltn a capital of $200,000, of which $100,- 000 is to be In stock, and 100,000 in bonds, half each to be taken by the company and one-half to be subscribed by the friends of the en terprise in Hackettstown. The Printers' Pension Corpora-" tion, of London, contemplate a pub lic exhibition of antiquities and cu riosities connected with the art of printing next June, to celebrate the 40th anniversity of the introduction of the art into Englaud. The Chamber of Commerce of St. Paul, Minn., is organizing a stock company with a capital of $250,000 to $500,000 to encourage tne establishment of important branches of manufacturing there. The production of sugar in Franco in 1873 was 45,652 tons, in 540 manufactories. In 1868 there was 456 manufactories, with a produc tion of only 257.6S2 tons. The ex.- port in 1873 was 93,270 tons. The influence of tho enormous duties which are levied upon suirar in France is seen in the fact that Eng land consumed in 1873 the amount of 1 97,600 tons, while France, with its much greater population, con sumed only 285,400 tons. Some of tlio iowspapera havo published lengthy and laudatory accounts of the new system which proposes to substitute vapor-power ior inai or steam, antl which, it is claimed, can bo applied to any en gine, wjth a saving of two-thirds the amount of fuel at'pre&ent requir ed. The whole peculiarity is said to be in the boiler construction, tho vapor being conveyed to the cylin der of tho engine just the samo as steam. The boiler is an upright one, and is really a double boiler that is, it has two heads at each end, one a few inches from tho other. The two chambers thus formed, one at each end of tho boiler, and filled wjth water, and are connected by tubes, which are for .tho circula tion of the water between the two chambers. Tho second or inner boiler, that between tho two inner heads, is filled with a preparation of bisulphide of carbon, tho vapor from which is the motive power. Beneath the boiler is a small fire box, from which flues run up through the two boilers to the smoke-pipe. These flues pass inside of the tubes already mentioned, and tho fire in passing through heats tho chemicals. By this arrange ment the bisulphide in the inner boiler receives tho requisite amount of heat without coming in direct contact with the fire-flues, as tho water is kept in circulation through the tubes. The chemical prepara tion is used over many times. St. Louis Republican. How to Flirt with a Fan. There Is nothing like knowing how to flirt intelligently, and as tho fan is acknowledged as one of wo man's most dangerous weapons always excepting her tongue the following code of "fan flirtations" will doubtless be revived with en thusiasm: When a lady uses her fan in an outward movement, that is away from her into space, it mean's that she is mrrried, and you must not hope. The contrary move ment, inward from space to the body, means that she is free, If, however, this inward movement is made by fanning In a downward uiiwuuu, ii uicans mai sue is a wiaow; jr m an upward di rection, that she has never been married. A closed fan held upright, means "to do as you like." An open fan resting on the breast, means "silence." A closed fan presented to you horizontally moans an invitation; presented by the small end, indifference. With one leaf open, "friendship:" two leaves open, "sympathy;" three, "love and passion." A "talking fan should bo composed of seven leaves, to correspond with the seven davs of the week. The hour you aro ex pected at a rendezvous is intimated by so many taps being made on the leaf which represents the day. A closed fan placed on the lips moans "don't tell." A circular movement of the fan means "wo are watched." "WiienaNew Orleans beauty be comes tired of life she hides her face behind her fan, and takes no notice of the day's doings." Cultivate Beliihing Vegetables. loo many of our country resi dents neglect the culture of relish ing food in the way of vegetables. The. onions and horse-radish are grown, but parseley, radishes, spinach and lettuce aro rarelv foiimi upon the tables of our country peo ple. "When sowing parsnip, car rot, etc., if the raddish, let- iucu, spmacii, etc., ue sown uiey will como up readily as they designate the rows, ant', can t oe piutea irom ume to time assist ing in loosening tho ground from tho main crop, as well as minister ing to the table. The country fails as a rule in the supply of fresh meats, but with the use of relishing vegetables, many a bit of dried beef or fried pork can be made moro palatable than the overdone, dried up beef steaks of the city hotels and boarding houses. The Japan Primrose. The introduction of this "Queen of Primroses" caused quite a sensa tion in England, and it is likely to be a favorite in America. As Ust name indicates, it comes from Japan. It blooms in April and May, and Is said to be quite hardy. A good pictorial representation of the plant may be seen in the cata logue of Mr. John Saul, "Washing ton, D. C. Sometimes the seeds do not ger minate till the second year after owing. The plant grows to about a foot and a half high. The leaves, though larger, resemble those of the English Primrose. The stem is adorned -with several separate whorls of Magenta-colored flowers. at Will J. H MlT.T.Ap Caahkr OMAHA NATIONAL BANK Docglas aad Thirteenth Stretta, m OJIAHA, NEB.
