I have been denounced and persecuted, and sometimes those 1 had served have been the first to turn against me in the hour of peril.

CS, According to tho Kew York Herald Csesarism is not dead yet, Colonel Mosby, of guerilla fame, is said to have revived (he third term by hoisting Grant and Kemper on his political flagstaff. The editor of the York County Record Is very generous to his im pecunious patrons. In tho last number of his extensively circulated journal, he says: "Parties who havo engaged, or wish to engago "breaking" in payment of tho Record, can report at this office for particulars and directions from this date. Hurry up. We would also like to get some cotton wood cut tings ofTsubscription." From the Congressional Record of last Thursday, we glean that Senator Hitchcock, from the Com mittee on Territories, reported a bill transferring to the territorial authorities the control of peniten tiaries located within their limits. Heretofore, if wo mistake not, these institutitions were managed by fed eral officers. Thanks to the energetic efforts of Representative Crounse his bill declaring Railroad lands subject to local and State taxation from the time they become entitled to them, irrespective of the time their pa tents are issued, has passed the low er House of Congress. Should this bill pass the Senate, and there is every reason to believe it will, Mr. Crounse will be entitled to the last ing gratitude of his constituency The Importance of this measure to Central and.Westorn Nebraska can hardly be over-estimated. "We shall cite a single practical example 'to illustrate the effect of tho present unjust and unequal dis tribution of the burdens of tax ation. Some years ajro General Sherman made what he then con sidered a profitable investment in land3 in the Platte Valley. The heaviest property owners in the county where these lands were located happen to bo tho Union Pacific and the non-tax-paying homesteaders. The refusal of the Union Pacific to submit to local taxation forced the entire burden upon the few resident and non-resident land owners whose property was taxable and the General found his tax bills so enormous that he became disgusted with Nebraska laud and therefore sold ouj. without realizing even a fair interest on his investment.

A Dull City. ffebraska in 'Congress Senator Hitchcock Stripping for the Bridge .Tight. Accordino to our "Washington advices the Houe Committee on Postoffices and Post roads, have agreed to recommend the enact ment of a law which shall require payment on all newt-papers and pe riodicals at the office of publication. If this bill becomes a law it will en tail much hardship upon publishers, esiecially in Use smaller towns and cities. Baxter the seal-less Governor of Arkansas telegraphs to President Grant that he has no power to re voke ids proclamation convening the Arkansas Legislature, but that this body must decide for them selves whether they desire to ad journ. IUs evident that Baxter is not posted. Has not the Supreme Court of Nebraska established a precedent which lays down the rule that Gov ernors may revoke their proclama tions at pleasure as long as the Leg islature has not convened? Baxter is hardly to blame, howeer, since .the Nebraska Supreme Court reports studiously avoid all mention about ibis extraordinary decision. Ever ready to give the devil his due, the Bee cannot withhold prop er credit from Councilman Stephen son for his unflinching labor in be half of solid and substantial building in our principal thoroughfares. Mr. Stephenson has become a perfect terror to the violators of the fire or dinance. In the enforcement of this whole some law, ho is neither a respecter of jwrsons, station, or wealth. His zeal in this good cause may some times lead him into excess, but we must acknowledge that the fire or dinance would to-day be a dead let tor, had it not been for his tireless vigilance. We do not propose to discuss the legal aspects of his last complaint against Miller and Richardson, but if their building is an infraction Uon the fire ordinance, we say em phatically let tho law be enforced. This may temporarily involve hard shitH upon the owners, but it will eventuate in a more rigid observance of the law. If newiaper publishers were per mitted to defy the ordinance with impunity it would not be long be fore other influential corporations or individuals would do likewise. Either4hc law must be impartial ly enforced or let it be repealed. (Special Correspondence of the Kue.) Washington, May 8, '74. In Washington at last. The great centre and fountain head of Repub licanism, the capital of America, and lastly a fossilized old burg. Hero it was that the eloquence of Statesmen in days past electrified the Nation. Here it was that tho cutting sarcasms of a Calhoun and Clay clashed upon the public ear. Hero it is that the drivelling sophis try of the present hour betrays the downfall of Statesmanship in our country. To attempt In a news .paper article to give anything like a clear conception of men . and things in this tho most important city on our continent, would be puerile and time misspent. To treat of tho issues beforo tho people with a facile pen is all that can be at tempted with any show of intelligibility. Suffice it to say of tho city of Washington that by general accord it is considered the dullest, most lethargic city in the Union outside of governmental surroundings and support The large number of de partment employes amounting to 8,000 or 10,000 in number give a quasi air of activity, but the old resident and business element of tho town is literally buried in the ashes of its own follies. The magnificence of the public buildings, and the lavish expenditure of public monies in dec orating the same, must be seen to be appreciated. At some future time I will endeavor to give a few of the main features of interest. In this short letter, I must deal with items of most importance to Ne braska men, and of local interest. Domiciled at the National Hotel; upon my arrival, I soon found fel low pilgrims, in the personage of Representative grounse. petite wife and interesting family. Also, Hon.

In company with Senator Hitch cock, we visited the treasury de partment, and were initiated into many of its mysteries. Here is re gal magnificence, lavishness of the needful in all phases, not excepting the poetry of motion, female loveli ness ana so lortn. The more we see of theni the bet ter we shall like them, consequently we will be better prepared to 'eluci date this matter at some future time. Visiting the Senator at his room, wo found him located about a stone's throw from tho Treasury, with nice accommodations, but overwhelmed witii documents, legislative papers, books, etc, full of business and hard at work. Wo understand he has unearthed a voluminous amount of matter concerning the Union Pa cific road and bridge business, from the records of the Congressional li brary, and when the time comes, will be prepared to enter the contest with the Iowa disanectlonists, armed cap a pie, and give them a tussle on the bridge business that will make Spoon Lake billlous to the bottom.

Square-toed shoes will be popular again. Cairo has one cow less. She was kicked to death by pretty little Mrs. Sands. Rome, Georgia, ladies, when they reach their hundredth year, are ser enaded by a grateful public. Mrs. Sickles, wife of the General, is mentioned as being the most beautiful woman at present sojourn ing in Paris. The Bareness Meyer de Rothchild is about to establish a house for con sumptives as a memorial to her hus band, the deceased banker. She tied the halter to her waist, and led the cow to water; the brute took fright, and gave a twist "My daughter! oh, my daughter!" The people of Michigan will vote upon woman suffrage next fall, and the best lady speakers are preparing for the canvas. A New York girl got mad at her Kansas lover and expressed him 1,400 lovo letters. She got pleased again next day, and telegraphed him to return the letters at her ex pense. A New Orleans woman wears a bustle made of government bonds. Her husband looks over the report of the bond market in the evening paper before going home from his club to see if her back is up. A new work-box of Vienna manufacture is a pot containing a small rose-bush. The pot is of Rus sia leather, and the roses on the bush of muslin nicely perfumed. By pressing a spring tho bush flies back, and underneath is seen a fine array of sewing implements. Crown Prince Leleiohoku, of the Sandwich Islands, is advised by a local journal to go abroad and get polished up a little before he comes to the throne. Girls, he is unmar ried. Won't one of you volunteer to do tho polishing. Cfiicago limes. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher makes this comprehensive reply to an anxious questioner, who is de sirous of knowing whether a man can love his second wife as well as the first : "That depends on what sort of a wife the first was and what kind of a life the second leads' him." The Davenport Gazette says a young lady who arrived there Sat urday from California, without any protector, says it is a safe and de lightful trip for any lady to make alone, and as for the male protec tion it only adds additional trouble, and another to feed out of the lunch basket. In straw hats for ladies, the Ra bagas appears to take lead. It comes in every color, and is trim med in every style. Aside from tho origin of this bit of headgear,thero is no denying the fact that it is ex ceedingly pretty and jaunty, not too "knobby." An Ohio husband said to his wife: "I won't give you a cent toward buying a'new dress." In one hour afterward that poor wife, who had nothing to wear, was a corpse, hanging by a rope in the barn. Alas! how many wives are daily driven to suicide by a niggardly husband, who will one moment deny them a cent to buy twenty seven j-ards of calico, and will the next moment squander twice the amount upon a paper of fine-cut The obstinate contest between the female crusaders of Greenville, Teun, and Mrs. Ward, a liquor sel ler of that place, continues, and aejms likely to,be permanent. The ladies have given up singing and praying in the streets, and occupy a frame dwelling, which they rent by the year, opposite the groggery, Everything appears to bo beaded now in the feminine dress line, from sunshade to underskirt All kinds of beads are used, from the real jet to those sold at five cents the string. The newest bonnots, said to be imported, are literally covered with beads on top, and the same may be said of the sunshades, which, to be admired, must be always kept up sun or no sun ! An enterprising firm in London lately paid 00 rupees for the privil ege of collecting the hair shorn from the heads of pilgrims at the Magh Mela, at Allahabad, and the whole capillary harvest has botm shipped off to England, to be made into chignons. Tho whirligig of time has been at work down South, turning things upside down, until now a North Carolina editor tells of what he calls "a case of peculiar horror" in Charlotte, where a white woman, wuose husband was killed in the Confederate service, is now serving in a colored family as cook, and her icn-year-oiu gin as scullion. Well, this isjiard, sure enough ; but there Is one comfort in probably the white "help" gets paid something. Editorial in the New York Herald: "Spanish women thank every pass ing admirer for a word of compli ment to their beauty : but Ameri can women demand an introduc tion before they can even be grate ful for a favor. When they are of fered a seat n a street car they fall into it with the dullness of a wooden image, and they need not wonder if, after a time, men grow tired of being kind to such ill-mannered goddesses. Politeness to ladies in public conveyances has gone out of fashion, and, high straps or low straps, it is not likely to come in again till the ladies themselves, learn better manners." .

How tho Georgia Minstrels Are Being Waxed. , Mutiny ABong the Topeka Servant Girls. LeaTentrorth Times, Mcy IS 1 The original Georgia Minstrels, billed for a performance here next week, are having a bitter experience in the surrounding towns. It seems they travel on their dignity, with their heads among the cloads and are altogether too high-tonedfpr the civil rights atmosphere of Kanas. It was at Atchison the trouble first commenced. A Mr. Twine, who-e color is like unto that of the min strels themselves, went to the agent of the minstrel company to -purchase a ticket for a reserved seatjfor nis wile, lie alleges that he was re- fnctwl ciiinl, flilmf mwl tlmf- rruvfnn the ground of his color. This was a gross insult to the dignity of a col ored man, and showed a want of re spect for his ministerial character. To refuse to sell a colored man, and he a minister of the gospel and a politician, a ticket to a nlace of amusement was, provided the refu sal should como from a white man, one of the things which the famous civil rights bill was designed to pre vent. Of course Mr. Twine became en raged at once, got out an attach ment on the instruments and bag gage of the minstrel company, and is determined that the insult to his color shall be healed with a goodly sum of greenbacks. It remains to be seen how much damage will be awarded a minister's wife for not allowing her a reserved soat at tho minstrel show. Leaving Atchison tho Minstrels dropped down upon Topeka and put up at the Tefft House, where a knowle Ige of their Atchison trans action had preceeded them. The Commonwealth says: Upon learn ing of the presence of the distin guished strangers tho corps of din ing room girls at the hotel informed the steward that they would not wait on the minstrels at tho table. This unpleasant bit of information was communicated by the .stewart to Mr. Williams, one of the proprie tors, who interviewed the high toned domestics, and informed them that he would pay each of them a dollar extra if they would take and fill orders for the minstrels the same as for the whole guests, and that he would deduct one dollar from the salary of each girl who failed to put in an appearance at the dinner table. The hour for dinner arrived, and the mjnstrols took their seats in the dining room, unbuttoned their waistcoats, and prepared themselves for a much-coveted square meal. But the waiters were missing, being unwilling to sacrifice so much prin ciple for so little money. What was a paltry dollar to them, weigh ed in the balance with tho accumu lated prejudice of years ? . Absolute ly nothing, and they determined to fight it out on that lino if they never made another dollar in the world. The result was what might have been expected; the girls all united in an insurrection, with tho excep tion of two, and for a while matters were very lively in every part of tiie house, except the table, where the Georgians sat patiently waiting for somebody to bring on some mac aroni and vegetables. The excessively conscientious in terpreters of tho daily bill of fare were finally discharged in a body and other assistance obtained.
