F. 1L JOUNSOS , C. , H. QEBE , Chairman. Secretary. How much did Postmaster Yost pay for the eshouoration from that incorruptible organ of the industrial classes ? How much in greenbacks or silver-plate did the Union gobble for that splendid testimonial ? THE way the Union exhibits its devotion to honest workingmen is by exulting in the discharge of poor postal clerks who have families de pending on their support. THE Republican now declares in favor of water works , providing the estimated cost shall not exceed $300- 000 ; but it opposes the expenditure of $400 for plans and estimates. IT is to be hoped that the City Council vrjll at once let the contract for the uniform stone curbing on Farnham and Douglas streets. This Improvement should by nil means be completed before the State Fair. THE leading Republican organs of Paris seem to regard the recent election of a Bonapartist to the National Assembly "as n very dangerous omen to the Republican cause. STRANGERS visiting Omaha , and oven old residents , are frequently puzzled about locations in peram bulating our streets. Mayor Chase and the City Council should see to , lt that every street corner be pro vided with a label showing the name of the street. THERE is a law that requires county supervisors to provide each cross-road with guide posts. In Douglas county this law seems to have been sadly neglected , and we therefore call the attention of our County Commissioners to this mat ter. SENATOR HITCHCOCK , we under stand , seeks to evade the responsi bility of the removal of Bye and Cole , by disclaiming all knowledge of the matter. Does the Senator think he can convince anybody that these men would have been removed without his personal application ? SENATOR THURMAN has con sented to deliver the address at the I Lynchburg , Virginia , agricultural fair. - This address , we presume , may bo of more than ordinary sig nificance In view of thb fact that Thurmau expects to be the Demo cratic Centennial candidate for the presiden cy. " " " " T * * * No honest laborer or mechanic who has been known to discharge his duties with fidelity to his em- ploy'er hag everreceived such com mendations from the Union as did tie postmaster who , with a salary Of 94 000 per annum , has speculated onpoor cJerks salaries and defrauded the Government by returning fraudulent pay-roll ? . WHAT HAS BEEN PEOVED. In order to evade the disgraceful revelations of postal corruption dis closed by the recent investigation , Senator Hitchcock departed on a pleasure 'trip to the mountains. Since his return he has found it con venient to ignore the stubborn facts that have heen brought to light by that investigation. He declares that he is not aware that Yost Jias committed any wrongful act Now , in order that he may no longer ijrope in the dark about a matter that demands his earnest and unbiased attention , we propose to recapitulate what has been proved by competent witnesses during the Investigation , and what wo are ready to prove in any court of jus tice : First It has been demonstrated and admitted by Yost that he had knowingly and corruptly connived with James M. Pattee , the lottery gambler , in converting his lottery shop into a branch postoffice , where mail matter was stamped , canceled and put up in mail sacks ready for transportation. Second It was charged and ad mitted by Yost that letters directed to him as postmaster , inquiring about the lotterry swindle , were turned over forreplication to Pattee , which made the postmaster a lottery capper , and this probably explains why Yost drew prizes in th < s lot tery and why he received and ac cepted silver plate presents from Pattee. Third It was charged aud ad mitted by Yost that he did exact usurious iuterest from postal clerks by speculating on their salary , with money which , according to Hill'a testimony , belonged to the Govern ment Fourth It is charged and sub stantiated by sworn testimony of Sperry , and corroborated by the pay rolls of the office , that Yost did de fraud the Government out of several hundred dollars , by returning frau dulent pay-rolls. Fifth It is charged and proved by testimony before Special Agent Hawley , that seventy-five dollars were extorted for a mail contract from James Stephenson under false representation , out of which sum , according to Lew Hill's testimony , 532.50 was paid to Yost. There are other minor charges which we do not deem worth while to reproduce , bollevjng tbftt any un biased person would concede that enough has been proved to sink a whole ship load of postmasters. BAJfK BINDS AND THE STATE TBEA- SUEY. "Whenever a banking Institution abandons Its legitimate business by entering the more enticing arena of politics , you may look for corrup tion in its most dangerous form. Experience dearly bought has re peatedly demonstrated that the greatest menace to official Integrity springs from combinations of greedy capitalists with unscrupulous politi cians. Such combinations are gen erally known as bank rings , and of all the rings that attempt to control politics , these are by all odds the most formidable. Money-making being the princN pal object of the bank ring masters , it is but natural that they should always spin and weave their nets around the keepers of public funds. Thus we find" them usually taking the liveliest interest in the election of city , county , and State treasur ers. Just now , as we gradually approach preach the State election , the State treasury seems to have become the object of their most ardent solicita tions. This great commonwealth allows the State Treasurer the magnificent salary of four hundred dollars per annum , and this would hardly make the State Treasurersliip a sugar plum if it were not for the incidental In come from the judicious use of the people's money. The opportunies afforded for legit imate speculation by our loose laws , are in themselves a sufficient attrac tion. Even an honest State Treas urer can keep an impecunious bank on a very profitable footing. If , however , the Ureasury is captured by an unscrupulous and corrupt bank ring , there id a magnificent opportunity for warrant shaving and usurious speculations. Against this danger the BEE de sires to warn the Republican State Convention. We are reliably In formed that tbree or four bank rings arc already organizing their forces , with a view to forcing their own tools upon the Convention. These schemers should and must be de feated. No man directly or remotely connected with a bank ring should be a safe man to trust with the pee ple's money. The people cannot , and will not , put their money into the safe keep ing of a man pledged from the very outset to capitalists or speculators , who expect to manipulate it for their personal benefit Nor can the Republican party afford to nominate and support any man for Treasurer who is known to be a pliant tool of a bank ring. We may have to speak more definitely on this subject before the Convention meets ; meantime we would advise the ringmasters and their tools to go slow. EX-POSTMASTER GRIFFEN swears that-Yost was to receive $1,800 per annum as assistant postmaster. The pay-rolls show that he drew $2,000 per annum. Griffon swears that Yost made out the pay-rolls and certified them as correct , therefore it Is self-evident that Yost robbed the Government of $200 per an num in that transaction , notwith standing that GruTen divided his own salary with him. Sena tor Hitchcock not only endorses this rascality but he causes the removal of the men who dared to uncover it OHIO votes on her new constitu tion to-day. It Is expected that the vote will be very close , with proba bilities against its adoption , THE REPUBLICAN VALLEY Political Conventions and Froziei Crops and Grasshoppers Destitution and Belief. Correspondence of the Bex. LOWELL. KEARNEY COUNTY , " ) NEBRASKA , August 17. j EDITOR BEE : During my late visit to Omahi and the east part of the State , ] was exceedingly gratified to find i disposition among the people to dc equal aud impartial justice to th ( west in the distribution of th < offices at the coming election. Ir fact I think the east part of th ( State is disposed to give more thar belongs to us. We feel grateful foi your generous offers , but shall no : demand the lion's share. Sucl generosity will tend to cause gooc feeling and harmony in the Repub. lican Convention , and put deserv ing and worthy men into office. If tbe Convention enforces the re > commendation of the Central Com mittee , in requiring delegates in all cases to be excluded , unless resi dents of the county they represent , quite a number of the frontier coun ties will be disfranchised. The people ple are poor , and very few can afford to bear the expense of a trip to .Lin coln. coln.For For instance , if the people ol Hitchcock or Dundy county , regu larly assemble to appoint Mr. Buch , Byfield , or some other good man who is going to the Convention as delegate from Red Willow county , to vote by proxy for them , what la wrong In tbis ? On the contrary unless this In permitted , some of these counties will not be represen ted. ted.Last Last week I visited the Republi can Valley on business. Things are bad enough , but not so desponding as generahyrepresented. I tookpar- tlcular pains to see , observe , inquire , and obtain all the information I could , on a casual and flying visit. Some are leaving , but most of the people are firmly re o' ' ved to stick to the country , and ridicule those who do not. Wheat and oats are about half a crop , and nearly , If not quite enough to supply the demand. With few exceptions , the grasshop pers and drought have destroyed the corn crop ; vegetables and potfttoos are very light , and in some locali ties a failure. At present the wheat is being hauled to Gibbon to be ground. Mr. Sashley has a fine flour mill in process of erection at Beaver City in Furnas county , and Messrs , VallintineandSheppardson another at Riverton , in Franklin county. These mills will soorj be completed , obviating the necessity of hauling wheat so far to be ground. The people arc putting up all the hay they conveniently can. Many will manage to winter their cattle and horses , but the dilemma is what to do with the hogs without corn. There Avill be destitution and suffering in many instances' wh'ich must and will be alleviated. The State can ill afford to loose these noblepioneers. Gen.Vifquaiu's noble example will be followed by others , but private munificence is not suf ficient ; the State must proffer her uid. Those who bestow their bounr ties should spo that they full upon the needy and deserving. Fortu nately aead beats and loafers are comparatively few in these parts. I rode down the Platte Valley this forenoon and was rejoiced to find the crops of all kinds quite good even the corn will be a fair ' prop. Mr. Wilkinson informed 'me that he would have a good crop of small grain , and twelve hundred bushels of corn. Business is dull and we begin visably to see the great dam age to our crops. We will cheerfully bear our losses and pjow our ground and prepare for another year , when we expect better things. 'Ex-Governor Paddock is in town , superintending the distribution of forty (40) ( ) sacks of flour , he has gen erously donated the sufferers of the valley.Among the honorable , no ble and worthy gentlemen I formed the acquaintance of in Omaha years ago , Governor Paddock occupies a prominent position Nebraska has few better men than he. Have known him some seven years , and never saw , knew or heard of the least thing derogatory to him as a gentleman in the fullest and high est acceptation of the term. It does our hearts good to greet such a man to our rude homes. He has many warm and fast friends in this part of th < State. Who is the next man of wealth to contribute to help allevi ate the suffering of our worthy pie neers. War. GASLIN , JR. OTOE COUNTY. Correspondence of the BEE. SYRACUSE , OTOE ) COUNTY , August 17. j EDITOR BEE : Dry weather has affected this county about equal to those adjacent on the west. The corn will be better than in western counties , but a short yield for this locality. The eastern part of the county will have very little wheat in compari son to that of the west ; average per acre about equal , but fewer acres sowed this year. The past ten days several rains have favered western Otoe , Cass and Lancaster counties , which has somewhat revived vege tation , but the eastern part of this county has had no rain for several weeks and vegetation of all kinds is about gone , and in many places the small forest trees which have grown miscellane ously , are dying The grass is re markably short and very poor. Few gardens which were cultivated in the early part of the season are good. Potatoes are scarce , and are selling at good prices , with slim prospects for any for winter , unless shipped here. Prospects are better further west , where the late rains have benefitted all kinds of vegeta tion. Potatoes appear to grow , corn filling , some grass growing , and young orchards ; which have been stripped of the leaves are putting out new leaves and shoots like spring , and it is feared that the young and tender branches will be killed in winter. The farmers are busy threshing wheat and oats the yield is gener ally about two-thirds of an average crop ; some are yet stacking. Hav is being cut whenever it can be found in paying quantities , and will be unusually good , but short ; and dry weather ha ? favored the farm ers , which they are generally mak ing good us of. While writing un der tbe shade of a time-worn tree , the grasshoppers are afloat hi the air ; they are are BO annoying it is difficult to write. Itrustthejr day of final departure is near at hand , which will , indeed , be a welcomed one to Nebraska , The farmers have ono consola tion this year , with all their adver sity , of having the best wheat raised for some years past ; and now Southern Nebraska has more than double the wheat ever before raised. Stock will suffer in some places for feed , but there will be no shortage of wheat for bread and money , and farmers will feed wheat Instead of corn , as it will be cheaper. The river counties in Iowa and Missouri have good corn crops , which will average from sixty to eighty bushels to the acre , which is now being sold to feed hogsatsixty- five and seventy cents per bushel. The county in Iowa adjacent to Nebraska City has more hogs and cattle than ever before , and which will consume nearly all the corn raised in that location. There are rumors through Nebraska that corn is plenty in northwest Missouri at fifteen cents per bushel , but is now being engaged from sixty to seventy- five centa per bushel , hence corn will be at round figures during the coming year. ADD. HONEY FOR THE LADIES. Sashes of several colors are new. There is quite an exhibition of Swiss jewelry , this season. TheDetroit "hired girl ring" now demands three beaux nights each week. It costs three thousand dollars to dress a fashionable woman at Sara toga. toga.As As soon as a young woman gets some steady employment she stops fainting away at the sight of a mouse. Colored silk stockings are all the rage among the female swells They come very high ( in price ) six dollars per pair. . , Chinese jewelry and ornaments for the person of all kinds will be very fashionable next winter say those who know. Young lady , recommend your particular enemy to gotoWisoosset. They have hand-organ serenades there , They are now wearing the Euba- gas hat caught directly up in front with a large bow of bright colored ribbon or velvet. Grenadine walking dresses , with alternate stripes of silks and beads lengthwise , are among the hand somest of the season. White mull , striped with black velvet , forms a very beautiful dress for evening wear , and is extremely stylish withal. Women sometimes get high , but Mr. Koster tops them all. She has climbed to the summit of Popocate petl , tlio greatest altitude ever at tained by a woman. Isabella of Spain , Countess Gir- genti , Prince Alphonse , "three young infantas , " and several dukes , have left Paris to take sea baths at Houlgatte , on the Norman coast. Queen Victoria went to a garden party at Chlswlck recently , and a gentleman present told her he re membered her face , but that he couldn't for the life of him recall her name. Double-faced sahea are some thing new , They are lined on both sidps aqd , upon turning , one can have a new color to edify the na tives with. They are , of course imported. A lady correspondent at the sea side is annoyed because the evening attire of gentlemen and the dross of waiters ' is precisely the same , and by way'of distinction , she sugeests that the latter wear green neckties One of the fashionable shoes o * the period buttons to the toe and has peculiar embroidery on the sides.

Whenever she wears this peculiar ornament the fellows "nudge" ono another and whisper , "She Acs money ! " Writing on prevailing fashions from Saratoga , Eli Perkins says : "The aeony now is big fans fans that require muscle to wield them , and $25 to buy. When such a fan moves it starts slowly , but it soon scares up an incipientsimoon. They tell all sorts of stories here how a young lady got caught in an elevator with one and could not get out , how they got turned around edge ways in the halls , and jam off the plastering and break in doors , and how they trip around under gentlemen's legs in the round dances like a green adjutant's sword at a military ball. Speaking of elevators , this morn ing an innocent Vermonter went up in the United States Hotel elevator five stories. When he came to go down , the elevator was on the ground floor , coming up. He stum bled over a lady's fan , and went down to meet it. When he struck , his friend rushed around with water and fans and camphor. "I'm lint hurt much , " he said ; "but some of you bad better pour some cam phor on that elevator I" Train's latest Prophesy. * * * * > Presidency and Dictatorship I sur rendered long ago and Creed , Bi ble , God , no longer interest me.
