POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWEL has landed on American soil , and is now on his way to Long Branch. It Is expected that he will enter actively up6n the duties of his office about September 1st ACCORDING to our Montana cor respondent , whose interesting letter Will be found elsewhere , Omaha merchants are making gratifying progress In extending their traffic through that wealth producing region. THE inevitable Andrew ( Moses ) Johnson made himself very numer ous around the Tennessee Demo- * M cratlc State Convention at Nash ville "Wednesday.Vitha certified copy of the Constitution in his hands he was preparing to sacrifice himself once more on the altar of his country by putting in a bid for Parson Brownlow's Senatorial shoes. ACCORDING to our latest advices from Ohio , the new Constitution was defeated by nearly fifty thous and votes , while the bpecial olause In favor of license , was adopted by a considerable majority. The de feat of the constitution , of course carries every other proposition with It , but the fact Is nevertheless a sig nificant index to popular sentiment in the Buckeye State. A VERY important Indian Expe dition nas been quietly organized under directions of General Augur , and is now under way. The com mander of this expedition is Colon el Miles , who , a few days ago , start ed from Fort Dodge for Camp Supply , with the Sixth Cavalry and Fifth Infantry. Hewill be joined there by the Tenth Cavalry , colored , with whom lie will proceed to Antelope Mound and strike out into the staked plains in search of the hostile hands of Xiommanches , Cheyennes , and Kiowas , who are said to be concen trating some 2,000 warriors in that region. At the same time the Fourth and Fifth Cavalry are niov- InK rapidly from Texas and across .New Mexico with a view of consoli dating their forces with those of Colonel Mills. "When combined about 25,000 well mounted and splendidly equipped veterans will be brought agaiustthe savages who have committed so many outrages on the settlers along the C'imarron and Canadian rivers , and who are supposed to be plan- nlnga grand raid into Southern Col- CHEAP AKD TJHUOEM CTTKBEHCY The New York Tribune suggests the following plan for a cheap ant uniform national currency : 1. .Let Treasurer Spinner , after re viving and assorting the bank notes sent in to him for redemption , charge them against the various banks which issue them , and return legal tender notes for them , as he does now. 2. Let Congress , as soon as it as sembles in December , authorize the Treasurer , in place of returning the bank notes to the various issuing banks for redemption , to charge them against the bonds belonging to the banks and held by the Treas urer as security for circulation and destroy them. 3. Let the bonds remain with the Treasurer as security for the United State * , as the holder of the notes thus canceled and destroyed. 4. Let the limit of the legal ten der circulation be enlarged by an amount equal to the bank notes so canceled and destroyed , and grad ually extended until the entire bank note circulation is replaced by green backs. 5. Let the cost of keeping up the legal tender circulation be assessec on the banks in proportion to the ratio of their notes replaced by greenback to the aggregate of reen- backs issued. G. Let the tax on bank nee cir culation , five per cent deposit , and bonds lodged with the treasury as security remain as at present 7. Whenever a bank fails , or wishes to withdraw its circulation let it send to the treasury green backs equal to Its circulation and withdraw Its bonds , or let the treas urer obtain the greenbacks by sell ing the bonds , as under the existing law. and diminish the legal tender circulation by a sum equal to the bank circulation thus withdrawn. It would obviously neither expanc nor contract the currency. It wouh strcncthen the legal tender reserves of the banks aud Increase their "loanable power , " just as we in crease the digging power of a shove by calling it a spade. It would provide increased secu- ty against counterfeits. I would facilitate the operations o Wall street and put an end to the absurd discounts on National bank notes at certain seasons of the year. Finally , it would enable the people of the United States to estimate the true value of the so-called "redemp tion" of bank notes provided for by the new law. In support of this proposition , the Tribune produces the following logi cal argument. "It would be uniform because il would be all greenbacks. J.t would be economical because It would save express charges , and the extra ex pense of printing from two seta of plates , and would secure the gain for the United States as a Gov ernment , the loss which the people now sustain when their bank notes are burned up or otherwise destroyed when in private hands. " SENATOR HITCHCOCK'S course in sustaining postal depravity , has not only disgusted and disheartened many thinking Republicans , hut it also very naturally arouses grave suspicions as to his motives. It is an indisputable fact that Yost in his palmiest days , never has personally controlled twenty votes , in or out of Douglas county. It is an indisputable fact that his offioial conduct has made him a dead weight , both to the Senator and the Republican party. Under these circumstances , It Is but nat ural to infer that Senator Hitchcock is impelled to his singular course in this connection , either by self inter est or fear , and possibly both. As the Senator's confidential agent , Yost very probably is in pos session of facts which might , if made public , seriously damage , or forever ruin the Senator. On the other hand , taking the logical view expressed by L. B. in our last Issue , Senator Hitchcock's personal inter est would demand the election of a Democratic or anti-administration Senator to succeed Tipton. If this version is correct , we can readily understand why Senator Hitclicock is doing all he can to .make Repub licanism odious. ONE of the most striking illustra tions of the dark and crooked ways of the postal ring is the fact that sonic months ago Postmaster Yost secretly circulated a petition for the removal of mail clerk Bye among the elect. We are reliably in formed tliut this petition was signed by Governor Furnas , Surveyor General Cunningham , Marshal Daily , Pension Agent Bristol tel and others. Why did Gov. Fur nas demean himself by demanding the depredation of a poor postal clerk , who was personally unknown to him , and whoso official conduct was unexceptionable ? The same question might perti nently be asked the other signers to that document , but our readers can readily draw their own conclusions. IK our telegraphic advices from Sioux City may be relied on , Gen. Custar has at last succeeded in pro voking the hostile Indians on the Upper MN'Wuri into a fight Ac cording to these dispatches , the In dians w ho were the attacking party were very badly punished , while Custir's loss is said to be fifty men disabled and killed. This would indicate very desperate fighting on both sides. Further particulars will probably reach us within the next twenty-four hours. An official circular from the first comptroller of the U. S. Treasury , will soon be issued to the Secreta ries of the various Territories defin ing the number and class of officers that can be employed at Uncle Sam's expense by Territorial legis latures. This is done in order to put a stop to the employment of super numeraries and prevent the incurrent - rent of unnecessary expenses. THE Union claims to be the special organ of the Independents.

MONTANA , Gulch Mining An Expedition to the Geysers Omaha Merchants in Montana Crop Notes Jeffer son Valley Bozeman. [ Special Correspondence ol THE BEE. ] BOZEMAN , Montana , 1 August 10 , 1874. j EDITOR OMAHA BEE : After investigating matters in general at Virginia City , I found Alder gulch still producing more gold to the claim of 100 fert than any farm in Douglas county , and here business prospects are good. The miners now sell their dust to the bankers for currency , and do their trade with that commodity. I am told the place does not show as much life and activity now as in 1864 and 1805 , yet there is a large healthy trade , and merchants gen erally are prosperous. Virginia City is ninety miles distant from the Geyser Bas-in , with a good wagon road most of the way , and from there pack animals are fur nished to pleasure seekers , so they can view the greatest wonder of the world. Large parties will soon start from Virginia City to view these wonders. Here at Virginia City I find that irrepressible Omaha drummer at work selling his wares , and by the way , he was able to convince these merchants that their house could and would meet all fair competition from Chicago or St. Louis at Oma ha , less freight , which will amount to a considerable sum In a year's business.

Here < ve get a splendid meal , and change horses for another drive across the Hot Spring range of mountains ten miles , reach ing Sterling , a town situated among the mountains of quartz. With her large mills for re ducing the ores , yet they arf > nearly all jdjej not for want of ore , but from want of capital to develop some of her rioh lodes. This place is al most deserted , but there seems to be an early future for Sterling. The only merchant In this place is Mr. C. H. Peck , a brother of Dr. Peck , of Omaha. Leaving hero we cross low divides of mountains , and after eighteen miles of travel , reach lower Willow Creek , a small valley of fine land , and some fine ranches , under a good state of cultivation , and wheat nearly ready to harvest. From here wo drive down the valley to the Jeflerson Valley , and down the Jefl'erson Valley to Shedd's Station , and crossing the Jefferson river on the bridge , we drove two miles to Gallatin City , at the mouth of Gallatin river , or near the forks of the Jefferson , Madison and Gal latin rivers , forming the Missouri river. The Jefferson Valley is some six to eight miles wide aud about ten to twelve miles long. Hero we found some splendid crops of wheat , and some of it nearly ripe enough to cut. This Is the best settled val ley in the territory , and is only about twelve miles below the celebrated mines on the Jefferson river. From Gallatin City we drive up the Gallatin Valley some thirty miles along the Gallatin Riv er , with some of the most beautiful scenery I ever saw grand beyond description. At three o'clock p. In. it began to rain In the valley and snow in the mountains , and was a cold , chilly evening , which pre vented us from enjoying the ride. The Gallatin valley is no doubt the finest valley In Montana , and should be included in the national park. park.Along Along these numerous valleys thousands of cattle are seen grazing on the rich bunch grass which abounds in this Territory. We reach Bozeman at eight p. m. , hav ing come seventy miles since morn ing , and feeling wearied we will take our rest and prepare for our start to geyser land in the morning , some sixty miles from this point , reaching the mammoth or hot springs southwest ot here. More anon. DIVER. Wanted. A Candidate for Gov ernor. A number of names have been mentioned , yet up to this date but one man has been pushed promi nently forward as a candidate for governor Hon. Frank Welch , ot West Point. Because only one man can get the position is not a valid reason why there should not be more applicants. For United States Senator the claims of at least a half- dozen men are urged , and why is it that we have only one for governor ? The oflice doesn'tlastaa long as that of Senator , and yet it is an impor tant position and an honor able one too. Judiciously handled it may be used as a stepping stone to something higher. United States Senators aie often manufactured from ex-Governors. Surrounded by a large military staff"of your selec tion , what can be more pleasant ? We are afraid that the Governor ship is not properly appreciated aud that for the want of applicants the place will be allowed to go unfilled. In that case , who will appoint a staff to take the place of the old one which has shown itself so strange ly competent ? We tremble while we write for the fate of Nebraska. Without Governor Furnas and fiis staff , what would have become of the State in grasshopper time ? That neatly-worded and ably-writ ten grasshopper circular would nev er have had an existence , and the hoppers would have gone on with their depredations witn none to molest or make them afraid. Want ed , a candidate for Governor ! Mr. Welch may be taken sick and die before election , or may be de tained at homo on business. Has patriotism died out al together in Nebraska ? Has no body any friends they are willing to sacrifice ? If we had any friends , we would willingly plant them on the altar of our country ; but , alas , we have offered up the last one we lad as a candidate for State Super- ntendent of public instruction , and he is now dashing out boldly in that direction , and bids fair to distance all competitors.

A Thrilling' Page in the Early History of Colorado ; I From the Denrer Tribune. ) Early in ' 61 , while the gulch mines of the Gregory District were in their zenith of glory , and when pioneers of the John Gregory and Gieen Russell ilk spent their hun dreds of dollars for a night's spree , George Harrison , a fiery little South erner , leased the Montana Theater at Central. It seemed that his lines had fallen in pleasant places , for the old Montana was nightly filled with honest miners at 51.50 per miner , in the legal dust ot the realm. But , like King Ahab of old , he began to trifle with the tenth command ment. The Naboth in this case was one Charlie Switze , who at that time was manager of a disreputable free-and-easy of the Crickett order , down the gulch. Charlie was the happy possessor of a mistress ( a luxury , bytheway , that few Indulg ed in at that early day ) , who danced and sang , and between acts drank and chatted with the better class of Switze's patrons. Mile. Marietta was one of the most beautiful wo men , personally , that ever appeared in the mines , and Harrison swore to possess this frail Venus or die in the attempt. One flue day , he told Switze of his one great desire. Switze ob jected so strongly that Harrison's jaw bone was broken and three of his ribs were lucked out of shape. As soon as the wounded man was able to travel , ho went east to re cuperate before renewing the argu ment -After an absence of three months he returned , with a bran new shot gun , and eager for the fray. His return was noised about , and the probable result of a meet ing was impartially discussed by the miners , gamblers and loafers. Both had records as fighting men. Harrison risen had killed his man In Vir ginia , which was the Immediate pause of his Immigration. At least , so his enemies said ; and had taken active part In the freqent bar-room bra\\ . Switze , a man of colossal form and scienced fists , had.t0i . \ quired a pugilistic farqe } n the ad joining oa.rflpa. While three-fourths of the population kno\y ull the clr cumstances , and espoused the caust of one or the other , no one rnadf an attempt at peace-making , partlj because it would do no good , bul chielly because they wished to sec the fun through. Thejevening of Harrison's arrlva. he stopped the coach at the theater , and disappeared from view , taking his gun , pistols and valise with him About dusk , Switze strolled up streei toward the express oflice , two doors Irorn the theater , aud took his stand in the door of the office. The nar row , dusty street was crowded with men , waiting to see who would win the smiles of a harlot by killing his rival. Harrison saw his man pass He then went carefully , opened th door into the second story leading to a balcony that extended the whole width of the building , and waited lor it to grow dark. Swjtzo having failed to discover his foe In the crowd , confidently told his friends that Harrison had "crawfished , " and suggested an ad journment to the Concert Hall sa loon for liquid sustenance. After imbibing , and while in the act o stepping out of the door , Harrison , who had crept along the balcony until within twenty feet ot his vic tim , emptied both barrels of the gun at him. Switze fell , riddled wltl : buckshot , and died Instantly. Harrisonjran through the theater and out of the back way to the county jail , and camly waited until the Sheriff returned to lock him up , At his subsequent trial , James M , Cavanagh , the then delegate to Con gress , defended him , and , after a severe struggle , had him acquitted. Not , however , until one half of the county had been summoned as ju- row , ho difficult was it to find un biased men , not that any one objec ted to the killing , but simply to the manner. A mountaineer holds that it is perfectly honorable and just to kill If occasion requires. But it must be done in a fair-stand-up-and-defend- yourself manner. After many weeks of bitter strife , Cavanagh , by a little sharp practice and a great deal of flowery Celtic eloquence , freed his client And how was he requited ? The saved wrung his saviour's hand , and , while the big tears of gratitude glistened in his eyes , paid his fee in bogus gold dust , and fled the Territory. He went South , enlisted under Lee , and fell during the fight before Rich mond. PERSONALITIES. Prof. Huxley is still in a very un satisfactory state of health.

He was put in the Tombs for printing the allegations of the Beecher scandal , and now there is nothing elsp in the papersyet every body goes free. He inquires the mysterious reasons of this. Baron Anselm Rothschild , who has just lately died , at his country seat at Dobling , near Vienna , was a man of extreme simplicity of char acter , despite Tils immense wealth. By his express desire says a Paris Journal recorded in his will his tuneralwas celebrated without any pomp. A hearse drawn by two horses , followed only by a few ser vants , conveyed the body to the Northeastern station , whence it was taken to the domain In which the family vault was situated.
