the moving of the Capitol on

ALL aboard for the train to the
new capital will1 be , the battle-cry-
at Lincoln.
AND this cruel war is over , but the
Tri h may apply , for "Paddy , " who
is is elected , la a buUy little boy.
Now that Thayer and Dundy are
beaten , and Paddock elected , every
body will , of course , claim to be the
man that did it with his little
hatchet
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
JCST as soon as Tiptop Beat Eed-
ick for the office of Squatter Gov
ernor , that moment his star began
to fade , his doom was sealed , and
the Senatorial contest closed. "A
little drop of water , a little grain of
sand , makes the might ocean , &c. "
Yon can't most always tell which
way the cat will jump. At the hour
of writing (12m. ( ) the announcement
comes to us that the senatorial game
has been brought down by the unerr
ing aim of Paddock.
_ LINCOLN is to have a grand mas
querade on the 28th. AVe appre
hend there will be phantom figures
and long faces , as well as false faces'
enough among the political visitors
there to require no special masks for
that occasion. Variety stores should
take this warning , lest they may
invest in articles which may not
command ready sales this season.
IT is to be hoped Legislature
will desist from too much law tink
ering. "We are Tisuna TO navn a
Constitutional Convention in a few
weeks. Prudence and common
sen&o would dictate that the fram
ing of new laws bo deferred until
after the new Constitution shall go
in force.
"Wirn the resolutions of the State
County Commissioners Convention
before it what does the Omaha JTcr-i
aid think now of its repeated asser
tions that Nebraska does not need
any more aid. What does that stu
pid organ think of the unanimous
endorsement of the BEE and its
course on relief matters by that con
vention ?
JouxBAKNKS , the miserable trai
tor , who , with uplifted hands , called
God to witness that he would vote
for John M. Thayer as long as any
other man would vote for him , has
gained for himself the unenviable
notoriety of being the meanest man
that ever filled a seat in a Nebraska
Legislature. The people of Doug
las county , whom this scoundrel
temporarily misrepresents , will give
him a very warm reception if he
ever dares to show his Judas face
among them. Like Benedict Ar
nold , the name of Barnes will for
ever be execrated by all honorable
men.
THE Cheyenne people haye no
reason to complain of dullness
of business , judging from the re
ports of the Leader of that city. It
claims that not a tenement house
can now be had there , and advocates
the organization of a building so
ciety to put nr > structures enough to
accommodate the existing demands
for buildings. Cheyenne has now
a population in the neighborhood of
3,000 , which , from the prospects of
an increased northern and southern
mountain trade , will rapidly in
crease foi some time For a town
which could not boast of a single if
habitation eight years ago , Chey
enne has just cause to feel proud of
the progress she has made.
"
the proceedings of the
"county couimRR'ueTA-x&nvention
just held at the capital , we notice a
recommendation to abolish the office
of district attorney , and substitute
salari county attorneys in their
stead. Thisi > roposltlon7 if adopted , lo
would increase the expenses of the
various , counties very materially. to
At present three district attorneys ,
at a salary of fifteen hundred dollars
lars per annum , are prosecuting
the criminal cases in the three dis ka
trict courts. If the new judicial
bill should become a law four addi
tional district attorneys would have
to be created. The salai ies of seven
district .attorneys would sum up
510,500 per annum Sixty-four is
county attorneya could not be induced -
duced to serve for less than $25,000 h
per annum. It is self-evident that :
the proposed chauge would be very
expensive to lax-payers. * a

LEGISLATIVE EXT2AVAGAKCS.
The present Legislature is in
many respects the most extravagant
legislative body that has ever as
sembled in this State. .Notwith
standing the general outcry of the
people against increased taxation ,
and the universal demand for econ
omy in the public services , our law
makers are exhibitine a singular de
gree of recklessness in the hiring of
supernumeraries. Thirteen clerks ,
each drawing a salary of three dollars
lars per day , have been voted by
the two houses to serve on the var
ious committees.
.No legislature ever dispensed their
charities so liberally for imaginary
services. Four years ago the legis
lature carried on th voluminous la
bors incidental to investigation and
impeachment with but two extra
clerks , and , if wo are correctly in
formed , the last legislature only em
ployed two committee clerks during
aportionof the session. There can
%
be no possible excuse for the uncalled
for extravagance. A majority of
the thirteen clerks employed in
doing nothing at three dollars per
day are not grasshopper sufferers ,
but , on the contrary , they hail from
the river counties.
"What does the committee on
buildings want with a clerk ? In all
probability not more -than four or
five bills will come under Its consid
eration. The clerical labor in that
committee , and in nearly every
other committee , will simply/be to
write on the back of any bill that
its passage Is recommended or dis
approved.
The members of the committee
will fcimply attach their X marks to
the few lines written by the clerk ,
and then the labor ends. What do
the people's servants in the legisla
ture mean by voting $2,000 out of
the State Treasury lor supernuma-
ries ? "We sympathize with many of
the clerks , but nevertheless doubt
exceedingly that the people of .Ne
braska can afford at this time to be
so generous.

EDITOR BEE :
From the midsi of the grasshop
per region we write to inform you
of the prospects and of how the
hard times affect the people of At
lanta Precinct. Eumors have been
circulated that there was scarcely
a case of destitution in Saline coun
ty , but ic is a mistake , and the re
port eittier circulated through tome
one that had no interest in the wel
fare of his fellow being ? , or too
proud to have it get abroad that he
lived in a country where the grass
hoppers and drouth stripped many a
hard working man of ms all , or else ,
he is not acquainted with the sit
uation that the people are in.
But no matter how it came to
bo circulated , it is all wrong Nine-
tenths of the families in Atlanta

ing time , and already some are en
tirely destitute of provision , with
not a bushel of wheat for seed , and
not clothes enough to keep them
warm. A thorough canvass of our
town has been made , which shows
that there are not near as many
bushels of wheat in the town as
there are acres of land broken up ,
which could be seeded next spring.
I will give you the report of the
committee that madethe _ canvass ,
who certify that they gave the town
a thorough canvass and reported the
following ; Number of bushels of
wheat in town , 3.460 ; barley , 140 ;
oats , 025 ; corn , 13 ; horses and
mules , Including colts , 145 ; cattle ,
182 ; acres under cultivation , 3,883 ;
number of grown persons ICO ; chil
dren 164 : number of pounds of pork
4797 , or about 14 pounds to each
person , if it was equally divided ,
which would not last them , wo
think , over one month at the out
side. We sincerely hope no more
false rumors will be circulated , to
keep eastern people from sending
aid to to those who are iictually
needing help. Wo hope f. r better
times , but are not ashamed to own
that we are In a destitute condi
tion , and those who jeer
and scoff at us , and try to prevent
help from being donated to their
fellow men who are ia distress , are
meaner than tno meanest , and do
not deserve to be recognized as
American citizens , but should be
sent to the Isle of Tortugus to re

ONLY A CHANGE OF BASE.
A Promising Actor Forsakes ilie
Footlights for the Pulpit.
( From the Louisville Courier-Jourtal , Jan IT )
One of the best actors ia Mr. Ma-
cauley's stock company is , at the
close ot this season , to leave the
stage and fit himself for the profes
sion of the ministry , his belief in
clining him to the Radical Unitarian
Church. The gentleman is Mr. H.
H. Wood , or more properly H. H.
Oud , who has been playing the posi
tion of first walking gent this sea
son , but whose versatility has shown
him in almost every line of "charac
ter , and who is considered one of
the best actors in the stock com
pany , playing everything that he
has undertaken with considerable
success. The personal appearance
of Mr. Wood betokens the clergy
man ; were he to wear the wnite
cravat , he would immediately be
taken by Canada Bill , the monte-
player , "as one of his best game "
His countenance is of a pale Intel
lectual cast , tinged with a degree of
dignified solemnity more distinctly
observable in clergyman. In his con
versation he is enthusiastic in his
opinions , and seems to throw his
whole soul m his utterances so
much so that a listener could hard
ly help from catching some of the
spirit of his enthusiasm. He is
much the same person off the stage
as on it , and impresses one as agree
ably in the one situation as in the
other. As an actor , his versatility
is manifest , in that he has played
Hecate in "Macbeth" with a sur
prising degree of excellence , and has
been equally successful in such parts
as Julian in the "Now Magdalen. "
During the season he has enacted
such parts as Mercutio , Sir Francis
Levison , Volauge , Sir Charles
Courtly , Eoderigo , Sir Benjamin
Backbite and other leading charac
ters , all with good conception , indi
cating in all careful and thorough
study. *
A Courier-Journal reporter yes
terday had an internet with him
regarding his intentions to enter in
to the theological arena. He stated
that he had been ten years upon the
stage , having commenced his the
atrical career In his 18tn year , his
age being 28. He first started with
the Raval pantomime troupe in
New i'ork city as a second dancer ,
at which occupation he was quite
successful , appearing in Cuba and
throughout the country in ballet
and pantomime. About 1867 he
left this sort of business and adopt
ed the legitimate acting , appearing
in Pike's opera house , Cincinnati , as
first walking gent Since then he
has appeared in most of the cities
of the Union. In Boston.he sup
ported Miss Carlotta LeClercq as
leading man , and was received with
favor. He afterward supported her
as leading man throughout the
country. He has been connected
with Mr. Maoauloy longer than with
any other manager , playing for a
long while in Cincinnati. "The
first idea I ever cherished , " eaid he ,
"was to become a preacher , but when
about ten yeara of age I first went
to the theatre , and became infatu
ated with the stage. I have had a
pretty good education , having been
under the charge of a tutor in my
earlier days. I have never lost
sight , however , of entering the
ministry , and the reason I have not
done so ere this is because I feared I
was not sufficiently qualified to eu-
ter. The thought has only passed
out of my mind when my 'duties
on the stage were too pressing.
I adore the profession of an actor ,
and play con amore , but it is not a
sell-satisfying love , being a less pro
nounced way of doing one's work in
this w rld. _ lprefer _ tti jninlstry
if thtfro be such a , thing , because
Is a Jjlgh calling. Besides , I deslro
to cultivate a literary taste , which I
have very little opportunity of doing
in my present position , thedramat-
ic profession being very exacting In
its demands. Perhaps there is no
better profession in the world if its
laborers do their work properly. "
"You Intend to become a Unitarian -
rian minister , do you not ? "
"Yes. I am a Unitarian because
I am a radical in my views , and a
radical because I am a Unitarian ,
I intend to preach the northernmost
views of Unitarianlsm , such as are
are entertained by Eev. O. B.
Frolhingharn , Eev. Dr. Stearns ,
and others Eev. Dr. Heywood ia
more conservative in his opinions
than myself. "
"Have you been making any
preparations for your entrance into
the ministry ? "
"For the past two years I have
betn studying very hard , and , as
soon as I leave the stage , ! shall proc
ceed to Cambridge , Mass. , where
there Is situated a theological colt
lege , where I intend to perfect iry-
self in the classics until thoroughly
qualified aa a minister. In the
event that I do'not become a suc
cessful candidate I propose to enter
the field of literature , having been
quite a student of the higher stand
ard poetry and of the leading prose
writers. However , I do not fear any
unsuccess. I have lectured three
times on my views of religion , once
in Cincinnati , and in two other
places. "
"What is your opinion of the
stage ? "
"I believe , notwithstanding al ]
the short-comings of the drama , as
profession at the presentday , that
it is co-equal with the ministerial
profession. It is a gorgeous and
grand profession a study of the
human mind in all its bearings.
Legitimate artists are infatuated
with it as an art , and do not engage
in it merely for pecuniary induce
ments. What else but the ardent
love for it would ever have given
men the desire to enterinto its * .
ranks ? What but their love for it n
could induce them , -when ignominy , nol
degradation , starvation , and the olsc
chance of being refused burial ia a sc
sanclified ground and going to schi
theological hell was their lot ? hiC
A Journalist's RoTeiige. clot iy

journals of Paris asked the manager Whi

Although the English are not so
universally a newspaper-leading
people aa the Americans , the proportion
tion of the former who either can
not read or can not afford to buy be
ing much greater , the larger concen
tration of populations in Great Brit
ain gives to the English press much
greater circulations than ours can
boast. Probably a one hundred
thousand regular daily issue is the
highest attainment of any American
paper , and the only papers that can
boast ot this are the Jsew York Sun
and the Boston Herald. .Next to
these comes the cheap popular paper
of Philadelphia , the Ledger , with
eighty to ninety thousand
a day ; and after this we supj ese the
New York JBerald , with sixty to
eventy. From these figures there
i $ a quick decent to from thirty to
forty thousand , between which rank
the New York Tribune and limes.
After these and between and thirty
thousand may be placed the two
leading Chicago papers the Tribune
and limes the Boston Journal and
th Cincinnati Commercial. Where
the Baltimore Sun comes in , we do
not know ; quite likely , however , it
ranks alongside or just below the
.New York Herald , with forty to
fifty thousand daily.
But this list embraces all the daily
papers in the country having over
twenty thousand regular circulation.
The London papers present much
larger figures. The Daily telegraph ,
a paper larger than the New York
Tribune , and sold for one penny or
two cents , has a circulation , the last
year , averaging 176,000 daily ; the
Standard , a. paper of similar size
and pretensions and price , comes
next with considerably over 100,000.
Third iatLe list is the Daily News ,
the liberal paper , a large penny
quarto , aud printing from seventy-
live to eighty thousand regularly.
The Times , ranking first in power
and inll Jence , and charging the ex
ceptional price of three pence , or "six
cents , stands fourth in circulation ,
and prints from forty to fifty thou
sand dailies. One of these , the
Echo , is sold for half a penny , or
one cent , and prints' many thou
sands , and it is a profitable enter
prise. Some of tha workingmen's
weekly papers in London hava enor
mous circulations one , the Lloyd
Weekly Journal , going up to the
hundreds of thousands. Ol the
provincial journals , those of
Manphestcr are the best , and
they have circulations about as
large as the Boston Journal , and the
best Chicago papers. The Edin
burgh and Liverpool and Birming
ham papers , though much poorer m
quality , haye also circulations.equal
to our most popular pro vineial news
papers.
All the materials of newspaper
making are much cheaper in Eng

was taken ; they argued on both
sides , but not a sign of a change.
As the jury would be out all night ,
cards were proposed.
At midnight one of their number ,
Colonel , who led the six for
acquittal , proposed that they should

who was for conviction , agreed , and
the < proposition was heartily and
unanimously adopted , and in'all se
riousness , too. Colon pi P ? and
the 1 foreman played , and the others
were lookers on. The Colonel
played 1 to save the accused , while
the < foreman plaj-ed quite as zealous
ly ' to secure his conviction. The

respective champions watched anx
iously , giving advice and encourage

The game proceeded with equal
fortune , until the parties had each

citement was intense. Upon a sin
gle card now hung a human life. It
was Col. P 's deal. He dealt
slowly anu with trembling hands ,
his lips impressed , and his breath

With the turning of this fateful

Cook County national Bank Sus-
c
pension.
[ Chicago Times , Jan. 20th. ] ar
w
The suspension of the Cook Coun
ty National Bank yesterday created
a genuine sensation in this city.
The president was reputed to be the
wealthiest resident of Chicago. He
came here from Iowa several years
ago , and owns two banks in Des
Moines , besides having a branch
house in New York. The Chicago
institution , however , was never
much of a success. During the
panic sixteen months ago it exhib
ited signs of weakness , and was
only saved from bankruptcy
by the most strenuous exertions.
For several weeks past it has been oet
exceedingly weak , and those who
were on the inside expected the de [
nouement almost daily. The causes
the suspension are numerous *
The president has been speculating
somewhat recklessly , and has lost > 37
heavily. In addition he has carried
number of the worst dead-beats in
Chicago , reputedly wealthy but real
bankrupt Jlia advances to this
class of men have been heavy.
The local business of the bank
was insignificant. Its patronage
here has consisted of the most reckless - BUS
less class of grain gamblers , and
the ] losses through their failure to
make good their obligations have
been considerable. The country
business , however , has been large ,
and several Iowa banks will proba
bly be carried down with it.
The last statement of th.e bank ,
published last week , was the most
Favorable ever made by the bans ,
ind there are suspicions that it was
Joctored. If this should be the
ase , an Investigation by the bank
jxaminer will develop the fact.
