If Omaha had voted for Water
Works beer WOuId not have gone up
to twelve dollars a eb.
Perambulating cattle on the
sidewalks remind us forcibly that
the poundmaster is dead.
If Omaha does not organize a sys
tem of street cleaning, people will
soon have to wear-patent clothes
pins on their noses.
The blessed city ordinances have
so far saved Omaha from the entic
ing allurements of the circus, but
they will not hinder us from attend
ing the performance in the big cir
cus tent.
The Nebraska City Prat man
wants to know whether marriage
by telegraph is legal. The Bee
opines there can be no great harm
done, even if it should be illegal,
as long as the contracting parties
remain at a respectable telegraph
ing distance from each other.
And now the Washington gossip
mongers assure us that General
Sherman i-J moving headquarters
to St Louis, with a vieW of becom
ing the Grangers' standard bearer
for President in 187G. That proba
bly explains why the General re
fused to issue on order for arms to
his formidable Nebraska rival.
Buffalo Bill has certified to
the wonderful curative properties
of Dr. Pierce's medical discoveries.
That settles it. Buffalo Bill and
Texas Jack are well known and
highly esteemed in this part of the
country, and on the great plains, for
their matchless voracity and bound
less veracitj
TnE good people of Lone Tree are
doubtless not aware what a delicious
treat lies in store for them. From
the New York Tribuncof May ICth,
we glean that a Detroiter who re
moved to Lone Tree, Nebraska, a
year or two ago, writes to a tobacco
house In that city, to send him five
pounds of "line-cut" by express, ad
ding: "I am a candidate for Sheriff
"of this county, and I think by a ju
dicious use of five pounds of good
tobacco I can secure 200 majority."
Unfortunately for tobacco chew-
ers, the regular election for Sheriff
.in Merrick couuty will not take
place until October 1875, unless the
present occupant should decide to
die or resign.
Knocked Sown !
A. remarkable fact can.be ascertain
ed by investigating our stock and
prices that we have rednced to a very
low figruro all of our clothing and
Gents', furnishing goods, far below
tbo price of any other house. Oyer
coats in particular can be bought of
us now at least 25 per cent, less than
our former prices. Quick sales and
small profits is our motto.

SENATE.
Washington,' May 1.
Mr. Wright called up the bill for
benefit of occupying claimants of
public lands. Passed.
At the expiration of the morning
hour, the legislative apportionment
bill was taken up.. Various amend
ments were made to the bill, the
most important of which was the,
modification of the first section.
On motion of Mr. Sargent, to
read : "No civil officer of the gov
ernment shall hereafter receive any
compensation or perquisite directly
or indirectly from the treasury or
property of the United States, be
yond his salary or compensation al
lowed by law; provided that this
shall not be construed to prevent
the emploj'ment and payment by
the department of justice of district
attorneys, as now allowed bylaw
for the, performance of services not
covered by their salaries or fees."
The bill was then reported to the
Senate and the amendments of the
committee were agreed to, with the
exception of the section relating to
covering into the treasury of unex
plained balances, which was modi
lied so as to provide that it shall
take effect on the first of July, 1875,
instead of 1874.
The bill was then read the third
time and passed.
Mr. Sargent, from the committee
on appropriations, reported, with
various amendments of an impor
tant character, the sundry civil ap
propriation bill. Ordered printed.
Mr. Frelinghuysen moved that
the Senate proceed to the consider
ation of the civil rights bill. The
yeas and nays were ordered. The
roll call showed no quorum and the
Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
The House took up the Senate
amendments to the naval appropri
ation bill, the same which were con
curred in; the others were non-concurred
in by the latter senatorial
commissioners of conference ap
pointed by the speaker.
Mr. E. H. Roberts, from the ways
and means committee reported a
bill to amend custom laws and re
peal moities.
Mr. Dawes moved an amendment
striking out the third section provi
ding that-any informer paying any
United States official any portion of
money received by him, snail have
a per(ctual right of action for its
recovery.
Mr. Beck introduced an amend
ment making it unlawful for any
Congressman to act as agent, advo
cate, or lawyer, for any person
against whom the proceedings have
been brought for the violation of the
revenue laws.
Both amendments are pending.
Mr. Roberts opened the discussion
on the bill.
Mr. Roberts advocated earnestly
the passage of the bill and was fol
lowed by Mr. Beck on the same
side who denounced the moiety
system as a compact of the Govern
ment with a pack of thieves. He
referred especially to the ease'bf
Phelps, Dodge & Co., and alluded
to Senator Conklin and Gen. Butler
as counsel or Custom House offi
cials, charging that Butler got a
large fee out of Jayne's moieties,
and those of the thief who stole
Phelps, Dodge & Co's., papers. How
much Conkling got he did not
know. Mr. Kasson, a member of
the committee declared there wasn't
a particle of evidence implicating
Mr. Conkling, as receiving a cent.
Mr. Beck maintained and read from
Mr. Dodge's testimony to show
ffia't Mr. "Conkling acted as counsel
for informers, He inaihtfeineti the
assertion against the protestation
of Mr. Hale of New York, and
others, and concluded with the
5sert!on that the custom houses
were dense with corruption kept up
on account of their p0litial power.
Mr, JJasson QHPfed from Mr.
Dodge's Testjindny the asMFtioji
that he didn't believe Conkjjng fras
implicated in tho option agajast
their bouse. Mr. Dawes quoted
Judge Davis' testimony to show
that Conklinjr was simply giving
his view of the law at Davis' re
quest. Barchard and Niblock both
members of the ways and means
oomiuiffeeV advocated tho bill, the
former adding thAt oe frouhj b,ave
preferred to see the whoJo system
of custom house oaths abolished as
had been done in England; and the
latter opposing the third section of
the blU as a mandamus.
Mr. Beck withdrew his amend
ment, stating that he baa been In
formed it would endanger the pass
age of the bilL
Mr. Dawes closed the debate in
support of the bill, and the House
proceeded .to vote on Mr. Dawes'
amendment striking out the third
section which was agreed to, 97 to
79, and the bill then passed.
Mr, Smith, of New York, from
tho election committee, presented a
report on tho Louisiana contested
election case, Pinobbaok and Sheri
dan, that neither had presented
evidence of bis clectiou.
Mr. Lamar presented a minority
report that Sheridan was elected,
Pinchback not ; both were ordered
printed,
During the iliscusskm of the
moieties bill a message was received
from tho Senate announcing the
passage of the resolution for a final
adjournment June 22d.
Mr. Beck, who was speaking,sug
gested tho Senate be tafcea at its
word and offered to yield for a Vote
on the resolution, a proposition also
which Mr. Dawes urged, but Mr.
Kasson objected to until tho pend
ing bill was disposed of. At the
close of the moities debate another
attempt was made to take up the
resolution but objection waa Q)atle,
and the House took a recess. The
evening session will be for general
debate.

A special correspondent of the
Daily Graphic at Leeds, give some
interesting particulars of the flood.
There are in all nine factories and
nearly one hundred dwelling de
stroyed, which are divided as fol
lows: Williamsburg, 55 lives lost,
4 factories, 1 grist mill, 1 saw mill,
and 25 dwellings; Skiuuerville, 5
lives lost, 1 factory, 25 dwellings;
Haydenville, 33 lives, 1 factory, 1
brass foundry, 1 savings bank, and
20 dwellings.
At Leeds 43 were lost, 2 factories,
1 shop and 15 dwellings are gone.
George Cheney, keeper of the
Williamsburg reservoir, aud whose
business it was to regulate the quan
tity of water supplied to the mills
below, Bays the rain poureu uown
all Friday night and hundreds of
little streams into the reservoir.
Cheney and family were breakfast
ing about 6:30 a. m. when they
heard the water rushing from the
dam. He went out and saw ttiat
the water had worn out around the
tube, and immediately started on
horseback to notify the people in the
valley below.
Cheeney says there was too little
dirt and stone and sand to hold the
water. The dam was altogether
too small and not heavy enongh.
Rev. Mr. Kimball, of Hayden
ville, says the flood lasted only
about fifteen minutes before its vio
lence was spent, in half an hour it
was down, and in an hour the river
was in its old channel.

Little Rock, May 19.
Reports from the country contin-.
uc iu uc juuai maiming, uiiu iic-
quent affrays occur. Baxter, last
night, issued a proclamation,
which In connection with the
action of the Legislature
in passing a ra-oution wherein
to investigate the affairs of (a num
ber of State officers, to be taken as
an indication that civil proceedings
for treason will be commenced
against Brooks and his leading sup
porters. (
This morning a telegram was re
ceived from Washington stating
that it was reported at the East that
Brooks' negroes'were being murder
ed in cold blood by Baxter's men.
This la emphatically denied and is
not true .so far as can be ascertained.
St. Lodis, May 1 9,
Judge McClure, Chief Justice of
Arkansas, and Col. Oliver, sheriff
ofi'uiasKi county, of that State,
have arrived .here and are on their
way to Washington. Judge Mc
Clure openenly declares that the
statements upon which Attorney
General Williams predicated his
opnjon in the Brooks-Baxter case
are false from beginning to end, and
that the courts of ha stato, includ
ing the Supreme Court, have never
had under adjudication cases erron
eously made up by Mr. Williams
with regard to the present condition
at Little Rock,
He says the situation remains un.
changed; that Brooks would never
surrender to Baxter's forces, but
only to the federal forces. Brooks
would continue to be recognized as
thelawful governor bj the State
auditor, treasurer and the attorney
general, and in fact by all of the ex
ecutive onicers,and if Mr. Williams
can dictate who is Governor against
all executive officers and against the
decisions of the courts. Then there
is no ongp.r a republic fornj of Gov
ernment in Arkansas. The whole
question will be brought before Con.
gross.
