Publlshei THB Herald charges Hon. Guj Barton with the entire responsibili ty of the penitentiary mill tax , and other odious legislation. Now , while the BEE has no desire to shield Mr. Barton from just criti cism for whatever responsibility may attach to nim as chairman ol the Senate finance committee , II proposes hi due time to explain the State officer reasons why a prominent ficerwho has heretofore enjoyed unlimited public confidence , is real- Iy the party chiefly responsible foi the penitentiary grab , the Journal printing steal , and several othei frauds. THE Laramie Independent $ s wa ging savage , and , as far as we can learn , unjust warfare upon the Pos tal clerks and route agents on the line of the Union Pacific. In Justice to these postal employes , we must , say , that so far as our own experi ence goes , the postal-car mall ser vice on the Union Pacific is unex ceptionable. The BEE circulates more papers over the Union Pacific than all the other journals west of the Missouri river combined , and we have not heard a aingle com plaint from tnat route during the past four mouths We are con vinced that the recent irregularities , It any have occurred , are chiefly to be ascribed to the irregularities over the Iowa roads and east of Chicago. If any delinquencies have occurred " west of Laramie , they cannot be jtraced to the postal cars , but may occasionally occur in the distribu tion office at Salt Lake. HON. JOHN BAUMER authorizes us to contradict the charges of the " .Lincoln JburnoZ and Omaha Repub lican , touching his conduct In con nection with the "license bill. " Mr. Baumer assures us that the engrossed bill was put in his hands by one of the engrossing clerks , ( Mrs. Pattee. ) After examining it , he placed it upon the deak of the chairman of the enrolling commit tee , Mr. Murphy , a few minutes before his departure for Omaha. Having no time to spare , he did not eeo the chairman , supposing that the bill would be safe and properly presented for enrollment. The state ment that ho eluded the sergeant- at-arms la unfounded , and the ani mus of the Journal can readily be explained from the fact thai Mr. Baumer sought to defeat their $8,000 printing fraud by moving lor' its re- congldcration. CHEYENNE complains bitterly of what the Cheyenne Leader terms -the xnarked hostility of the Union Pacific toward the Wyomlng-caplt- al. The chief ground of complaint appears to be the failure of the Union Pacific to comply with sol emn promises and stipulated agree ments , by which citizens of Chey enne were induced to invest in real estate at extravagant prices , gen eral Dodge and Oliver Ames had held out inducements to them to purchase expensive corner lots by promising to erect extensive machine shops , depots and other buildings at Cheyenne , which have not only never been built , but are not likely ever to be erected there. According to the ieatfer , the com pany has not offered to do anything beneficial that would , 111 a measure , make up for its negligence and fail ure to live up to Its agreements. Under these- circumstances It was but natural that the leading proper ty owners of Cheyenne , -who , for the most part , are also the leading merchants , should bear _ a grudge against the Union Pacific , which manifests itself at every opportuni ty. Thus , much of-tho traffic which should flow over the maiu line of the U. P. via Omaha has been diverted , and Cheyenne merchants have been , so to speak , forced to pat ronize the Kansas Pacific. This di version of the commerce of Wyom ing from its natural channel , ia to be deplored not only for the sake of the Union Pacific , but also for the sake of Omaha. The mercantile in terests of Omaha are lu a great measure identified with the mercan tile Interests of.Cheycn e , and Whatever tends to cripple Cheyenne must Indirectly cripple Omaha. It is ; therefore , to be hoped that the managers of the Union Pacific vill , both lu the interest of the great railway and in the interest of Oma ha , adopt such'a policy as will in a measure rectify the grievances of the citizens of Cheyenne , andrecon- ftlie them fo thtr situation. ; * , ' * - ! THE CUHSTITUlIOHAij COHVEHTION. On the first Tuesday in April the citizens of Nebraska are to choose sixtj'-nine members to the conven tion which is to frame a new funda mental law for this State. In view of the important task devolving upon this body the time for discus sing the qualifications and merits ol proposed candidates is comparative ly short. It is hardly necessary foi us lo impress upon the minds ol the people of this commonwealth that the men selected for this convention should rank high foi their intelligence and probity. Thej should be men less noted for ex treme partizanship or sectionalisn : than for their patriotism and devo tion to principle. The Cramers o a now constitution should be mer with whom the interests of politica parties cr political factions should b < secondary to the interests of th < people. They should be men will whom the interests of sections o localities should be secondarjMo thi * interests of the whole .State. The new constitution is not lo b < framed for the perpetuation of thi Kepublican party , the Democratii party , arany other political organ ization. It is not to be an instru ment made for the benefit of Soutl Plalte , JSTortn Platte , or tlie territory west of the 6th Principal Meridian Members of the convention are no expected to act as champions of th < county or district from whlck thei are elected , but they are expected tc give us a fundamental law that wil equitably apply to all parts o the State not only during the next decade , but through the generations that will inhabit Ne braska , in the distant future. The Constitution of the United States has been -fundamental law ol the nation for nearly a century , and there is no reason why the new constitution of Nebraska , with pro per provifaions for future amend ments , should not outlive ten gen erations. With this view of the case before usve cannot impress upon the minds of the people too strong ly the absolute necessity of selecting the very best men for the conven tion. .Let the convention of ' 75. al least be equal in make-up and abil ity to the convention of ' 71- Do not , if you value the reputa tion of this State , send politica ] demagogues , briefless shysters , and brainless "do-nothings" to repre- ent you. Give us men whc have earned a reputation in their own calling ; men who have gamed undisputed eminence as farmers , mechanics , lawyers or doctors , Judges or soldiers. Let us have sound thinkers , and not blatant bunglers. Let us have men of broad and liberal views , and not men whose contracted ancF-cranky ideas would seek to convert the con stitution into an embodiment of im practical notions and "isms. " Let us have men who will do more thinking than talking , and above all things do not send men to this convention who will set there like BO many wooden images and stough- ton bottles. HAVING failed to Impose his Im posing presence upon the United States , Pinchback is now doing nis level best to impose endless ieuds and endless miseries on the people of Louisiana. THE amended school law , which we reproduce elsewhere , is death on nepotism , .Nebraska school direct ors will hereafter have no chance to employ their sisters , neices , aunts or even their prospeclive-slsters-ln- law. A Monopoly in a Tigh * Placp. lan Francisco Chronicle. ] There are some indications which seem to * foreshadow that the reign of the Western Union Telegraph despotism is about over. A rival company has announced such re duction in the cost of telegraphing between .Kew York and \Vashing- ton , Albany , Boston and intermedi ate points , as will seem inexplicable to the business community. The reductions indicate tLat the charges of the "Western Union Company" simply extortionate and monstrous. But it is asserted that the superior mode of transmission by means of the auto matic systemrcombined with du plex and quadruplex instruments , of which the Atlantic & Pccilic have the .exclusive use , warrant the re duction which has been announced. Meantime , while the contest be tween the old monopoly and the aew organization is going on , the general public may ruminate with jomplacenoy upon the admirable ind time-honored ' . " - apotlie'.vm , "Com petition is the life of tiade. " Ihe Scientific American says that the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Com pany now "looms up" us a danger- jus rival of the "Western Union. Seneral Eckert , a man of proved executive ability and of'great expe rience in the business , has taken the presidency of the Atlantic & Pacific , * nd in the warfare which will soon commence in downright arnest be tween these two powerful combina tions the general public \ dl take a lively interest Reward to Whom it : s Due. Through the indomita' le will of Son. Clinton Briggs , of Omaha , the ailroad companies who own laud n th a county , have been induced opay their taxes , whbh amount : o about $25,000. Th ! will be a xmefit in more ways tli'in one. It vill have a tendency * > persuade he companies tosf-11 th ir land at a ewer figure than her.ifore , for as eng as they had -no ixes to pay hey were not over-anxious to sell tlthough they offered at seemingly air rates. To Mr. Briggs too uuch credit cannot be rendered , ind we would suggest that our bounty Commissioners make dm a handsome donation. He has pent from one to two thousand dol- irs out of his own pocket besides naking threoor four trips to Wash- ngtou. With the assistance of udge Sprague and Hon. Sam. M. ! hapman , of PJattsmouth , ho has ursued this case with a tenacity bat has finally resulted in his favor , everal other lawyers were employ- d by different counties , but they ad not the stamina to fight it to 10 bitter end. 525,000 In our coun- , ' treasury Is no small sum , and we sk the commissioners to think the latter over.Athlantl Jtepublican , ZYLYFFS FABEWELL.

Considerable destitution exists among the farmers in the "Western part of Otoe county. E. G. Clark , Secretary vof the State Grange , now makes bis head quarters at Blah : instead of at .Lin coln. Ashland expects to induce the location of Hall's foundry and ma chine shops from Omaha to that point Millard will look upward as soon as spring opens. A new store , ho tel , restaurant and many residences are in view. barrels of prairie chickens have been the average shipment per day over the fc > . C. & P. K. B. from West Point and Wisner. * Aparty of immigrants fromPrai- rie City , Iowa , were jn West Point last week on their way to Madison county. They didn't ssem to fear the grasshoppers. Sabine Barry , an old gentleman who lived on a homestead near Pig eon Creek , Dakota county , was caught out in the storm of Tuesday evening , and was frozen tojieath. Tecumseh loses $23,000 a year by not having a first-class steam mill. MosUof the farmers in the vicinity go to Nebraska City to mill , and of course buy their goods there. --Immigration into Howard coun ty has already commenced. Six covered wagons passed through beward in one day last week , and OHO or moro are seen coming In nearly every day. Circumstances seem to indicate that the murder of Mrs. Klienburg , near Fontenelle , was perpetrated by two young men , Wallenhorst and Randall. They have beeu arrested on suspicion,4and are held to an swer. It is reported that the Pawnee Indians who left their reservation last fall , to select a new home in the lu'dian territory , have failed to make a choice , and are now on their return back with buffalo meat and hides. After a thorough investigation of guard * , citizens and Page , at Ft. McPherson , during the court-mar tial last week , the citizens of North Platte were exonerated from any complicity whatever in aiding the escape of Page. There will be a meeting of the stock-men -Lincoln , Keith and Cheyenne counties at Ogallala on the first day of April , 1875 , to ap point a day to commence the gen eral "round up , " and to decide which is the best point to start from. Adams is situated on the line of the A. & N. R. B. , in the northeast ern part of Gage county , eight miles northwest of Sterling , seven miles southeast of Firth , and twenty-nine miles southeast from Lincoln. The town site is a beautiful tract of land on the rieht bank of the Little Ne- maha. Wm. Kruger , who lives three miles north of Bell Creek , shipped fifty-five hogs Omaha . this week , averaging 230 pounds each. i < our years ago a car-load of hogs could aot bo had within a radius of ten miles , when the last years shipment shews about 15 car-loads. A horrid casa of humane depravi ty , indecency and beastliness was presented to the court at Lincoln on Monday last , too revolting to be be lieved unless upon positive proof. A.n unnatural father living in las civious cohabitation with his two laughters , one sixteen and one eighteen years of age.- About a year since three Paw- aee Indians left the Pawnee reser vation and started on a trip to Eng- and. One of them sickened and lied in London another is sick in STew York , and one day last week he third Pawnee arrived at Colum bus , wearied and m ill health , but ntent upon reaching his old Paw- iee friends before his spirit takes its leparture to the happy land.

The "act to amend existing cus- ems and internal revenue laws , " fblcli recently passed congress and rhich was approved hy the Presi- ent on February 8th last , makes mno changes in the tariff which rill interest merchants having on and the commodities affected.

PENITENTIARY BARBARISM Voice ofthe State Press- The best way out of the difficult } is the discharge of the present war den and under officers , and the ap pointment in their stead of maki an approach , at least , to the human Zecumsch Chieftain. Thegbarbarlsm prSctlscd upon the convicts in our penitentiary is r& yolting , and calls for immediate ac > tiou. This step is due to the peopli and humanity , and it seems to us t < be a strike of policy. Beatrice Cou rier , * With this report before the people we may expect to hear something "dray. " Gov. Oarber will be in duty bound to act upon the report ; and nothing short of a complete change will satisfy the people. Ashland Times. The "majority" by Baumer , Fischer , and Enyart , is but little more mildly drawn , while the second end "minority" by Lucaa ia rather "washy. " Jf "an open confession" is good for the soul , then Warden Woodhurst has been "born again. " Sahuyler Register. The prisoners all testify to brutal treatment , and if they tell the truth about the matter , WoodhurstNobes , his deputy , and all the guards about the Penitentiary , ought to be no\y wearing a striped suit , and occasion ally experience the pleasures of the stocks and bull-rings. Oakdalc Journal. Every citizen of the State of Nebraska is interested in the man agement of the state prison and the conduct of those whose duty it may be to provide and care for the prisoners therein contained , , espec ially ejery taxpayer of the State , who pays his proportion of nine dollars lars a week for boarding each pris oner confined in tbe penitentiary , tvhen they shall learn that these prisoners are compelled to subsist on "rye coffee and maggotty meat. " Columbus Journal , We feel that a radical change is demanded in the management of lie penitentiary at once , or else our people are hardened against the ) lea for humane treatment. Ward en Woodhurst may have been igno rant of the brutality of .Nobes , and of the tyranny of Kalkaw , yet he s responsible for the acts of his agents , and when he attempts to paliate their acts by citini ; other > rison9 , or the insecurity of the pen- tentiary , he misinterprets the peo- > le if ho expects them to sustain him. Prison reform is one of the great causes espoused , by humanitarians , and much progress hag' been made in the discipline and management of prisons during the last quarter of a century. Reformation is as much the purpose , or should be , of prison discipline as punishment. There is Tar too much cruelty practised to ward criminals to-day. The testi mony ofthe warden shows a practice .o. punishing with the bull-rings , whether by his consent or not , that lisgraces our State and Insults our ntelligence , as a people , and should > e abolished at once. It makes no lifference where it is practiced , I n nine States out of ten , or even in leaven. Every noble feeling of our latures , every impulse of the hunan - nan soul , revolts and calls loudly or its abolition. Let the barbari- ics practiced in our penitentiary hat disgrace a Hindoo or Hottentot , > e done away wltn , with Wood- lurst as Warden if we can , or wlth- > ut him if we must. North Platte Kepublican , General Thayer. The nomination by the President ind confirmation by tbe Senate of Seneral Thayer as Governor of Wy- imlng , is a most fitting recognition if the ability of one of Nebraska's aost eminent men , by the head of he nation , and the lighest legisla- ive branch of the government , the itterof which General Thayer was t one time a member , and the peer f the ablest in that body. This recognition of the valuable ervices of Gen. Thayer is no less a ompliment to the State of i\ebras- a than to the General hjjmself , and rhile we are pleased to learn of his rosperity , we are loth to lose .from ur State one who has stood so high i the affections of our people ; one 'ho shed lustre upon her military : cord and in tbe national halls of ongress , labored zealously and un- rlngly for the development of her sst interests.
