CovntAiiy to the predictions of

court of Inquiry, been acquitted of
every charge brought against nun.

A. Joiixson" has made another
speech. This time it was at Nash
ville, and the following eloquent
and touching extract shows that he
still remembers the various impor
tant positions, from Alderman to
President, to which the people have
seen fit to exalt him :
"3Iy race is nearly run. I served
you in nearly all the positions in
which it was possible for man to
serve you. 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. There was One who
was betrayed ana soiuj mwc
was once a Peter and a
Judas Iscariot- I have had my
Peter and my Judas Iscariot,
but the consciousness that I have
done my duty by my countrymen,
has been my "comfort and reward.
I trust that when I am dead and
gone, some historian may have the
goodness to inscribe my name high
in the Temple of Fame, among
those -who have lived and toiled and
suffered for their country."

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.

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.

Visiting the Senator at his room,
wo found him located about a stone's

of matter concerning the Union Pa

the records of the Congressional li

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.

Something over a year ago par
ties from this place Avent up the
Missouri River to a point opposite
the mouth of White Iliver. and se
lected a sits for a town. Tho spot
chosen had long been talked of by
steamboat mean and others who
havo traveled upanddown the river
as one ot the best localities for a
prosperous town between Sioux City
and Fort Benton. Others from
counties east of here also went up,
ami all were delighted with the lo
cality and its surroundings. Steps
uc oeea uikcii io get a
large colony of Swedes and Xor
weigians from Chicago to emigrate
to this place and take homesteads.
A party of eight of their leaders
wetft up there a couple of weeks
ago to look at the country and re
port to their people. One of their
number returned la-t Thursday, and
proceeded right on to Chicago with
the intelligence that they were all
well satisfied with the countrv. and
were anxious to have all their noo-
ple follow them. Others have al
gone up their from Palo Alto and
Humboldt counties, and are break
ing prairies, etc A steam saw mill
will go up in a few days. As thee
foreigners will purchaso mo-t of
their outfits here, this intelligence
Is of interest to Sioux City. "We
