THE Chicago Iribune says Air. Fincbback bos gone over to tbo Democracj' to secure the United States Benatorship , supposed to have been pledged him it he would lend bis talent ? to the reorganiza tion of that disrupted party.

OHICKGO Iribune , January 14th : The plan of convening a Democratic Convention iu Washington on tbe 14th of February , to take action up on the couating of the electoral vote , was submitted to Mr. Tilden last night.

Hot.THOMAB WOLFE , the pres ent member of tbe .Nebraska Legis lature from Seward couctv , is re ceiving commendable notices from the State press. Mr. Wolfe was one of Omaha's early residents. He learned the printer's trade iu thin city , and served as foreman In sev eral of the offices at various times. He was superintendent of tbe BEE printing establishment for several years , ana was one of the most effi cient nnd'thorough mechanics in our employ. Mr. Wo'fe wus an ac tive membar of the Omaha Literary and Debating Society in 1570" ; his pra'tlce and application will now become utilized. Aa Reform Schools are just now being agitated in Nebraska , the fol lowing account of a riot last Friday In Worcester , Mass. , will illustrate some of the difficulties encountered in reforming little urchins : A perloos riot took place at the Westboro btate Reform School Fri day tbt 12th inst. About 100 bovs were in tbe uprising , and the sig nal was given by shutting ofl the ROS in the ecbool-room. The flgbt was a deeperate one lor a few minutes , every article of furniture in two of the rooms being completely demolished. The officers succeeded in keeping the rioters In the rooms until help was summoned , and then subdued them by tbe free use of water from a hydrant. None of the officers or men were seriously hurt , and none of the boys escaped. f * THE BEE does not not ask Demo crats to support any particular can didate , hut , in common with the masses of honest tax paying Repub licans and Democrats , its editor claims the right to demand of them opposition to rascality and cor ruption wherever it ejfste. In doing this , the BEE claims to be consistent It has at all times con demned misdemeanor ? of officials in tbe Republican as well as the Dem ocratic party , and its columns bear evidence also to the fact that it has given credit to all officers alike , regardless of their partlzan views. In asking Democrats to oppose tbe re-election of Senator Hitchcock the BEE only asks of them to do the p'aln dutyofhonejt citizens. What ever opinion they may entertain of other candidate * , they must admit that Hitcbcock's record has been anything but that of an honorable or honest character. Hoy. WM. rnKViLLE , of Douglas county , Is put down by the federal ring as sure to vote for Hitchcock. Stow we happen to know from a personal Interview that he never will vote for the back-pay Senator. MX. Neville personally assured us and others , on his honor , before and af ter election , that his friends could rely upon one thing , that be was his own master , ana tne fact that Mr. James Neville , his brother , was U B. District Attorney , would have no influence over him : Further than this , Mr. Seville assured us tliut he held in contempt the course of the Federal ring , who were doing all ports of dirty work to further their corrupt endp.

MOODT'S ADVICE TO CKEJf- Public opinion maj differ , ard and does in fact , upon the merits of spasmodic reform brought about by the exciting appeals of religious revivalists The effect of such Jip- penls like the appeal itself is merely temporary. There Is a peculiar de- grea of mesmeric power in the im- papioued and studied eloquence of these trained speakers that like the whirlwind carries the will of the hearer with lUelf , but when the fctorm ceases theooly propellingpow- er remaining is.lti momentum and when that ceases the effect is once more lost. Occasionally , however , when , with impassioned eloquence , the speaker appeals direct upon the reason rather than the weakness of his audience , the result has a bene ficial and lasting effect. Mr. Moody's sermon last Friday at Chicago cage as reported in the Chicago In Uriels one of these senelble efforls. His advice to worklngmen is so full of good sense that we reproduce it , as it is for the consideration espe cially ol those who are out of work . And now a word about work. Earn the bread you eat. I would rather earn five cents than someone give me five dollars. Tbere is no hope of a man's reformation who doea not go to work. Laziness be longs to the old creation. 1 don't know what to do , and I don't Bee what God can do , with a lazy man. If you can get only 25 cents a day 20 to work for that. Someone once tried to abuse a Senator by s viiiK that he used to black boots. "Didn't I black them well ? " he answered. Work is honorable. Any honest work is better than idleness. Black boots , or carry a hot , or carry in coal ; and if you can o Jy earn five cents a day , live on fiv cents a day. Don't go in debt. Some of you think it IB hard that tl > ere is no work to be fouiyl ; that people are 60 suspicious of you. Well , they have reason for it ; you ara only juat out of the rum-shop ; you are just getting up to the drat round of the ladder ; but if they find that you are [ really a true man , tlieu there will be people to trust you and give you employment. It IB because them are EO many hypo crites in the world that people are Hirald to put confidence in you , an'l pi edict that you will not hold out. Don't think you are stooping because - cause you have to work for less than you got before. Do your poor rough work well , and you will find better vork to do. Another thing. Home of you are in the habit of lyinu. I have heard of ouo who professes to be a reform- it ! man who has been lying ; and what a disgrace that is to a good cause. .Now , let me say to you , be truthful If you have to tell the woMinboutyourfDlf , don't lie. Own up to the truth , for it Is better and ftarer that the worst should bekuown. Here ia a mau Just out of the Peni tentiary , who gets a place of trust , and one of his old pals comes in and threatens to blow on him unless he puts up $ ? 5. JBut if be can answer , "My master knows all about me , " he is a free man , in f-piteof his post disgrace. I want you to take this advioe kindly ; I give it from my heart.

THE Republican's hints at the pos sibility of the BEE'S daily demise , are of the wolfish order of crija. In its six yeara ; < > f existence the BEE never has had a strike of its print ers for back pay. The Republican , on the contrary , has had one nearlv every week in the past two months. They have kept tbeir employes liv ing'on promises until the best of them have thiowu up tbeir situa tions iu order to get their pay. The Republican owed all their printers three weeK's wages last Saturday , and only paid up one-third ot their indebtedness , promising them a settlement when tbesenatorial fight would be over. We are not in the habit of noticing such little bmi ness matters in our neighbor's af fairs , but the hinte of the Republican in ita Kunday issue certainly invite comment , and we make these few remarks aa a reminder of Messrs. Brooks & Co. to attend to their own little afiaira. THE .Lincoln Journal says that tuo two day's legislative adjourn ment will operate favorably for Hitchcock. That Journal fails , how ever , Io illustrate how and in what manner such an effect can be brought about. Does the editor pre sume to say it will take two days for members to trace out of the six years musty records of the Henator'n time some commendable act of his ta bang upon as an excuse for their support , or does it mean what every one wno knows the modus operandi of this hack-pay grabber and his lobbyists , that it will give time to invent some new offices to be prom ised , or get up some side bet for a few woek-kneed legislators to take an Interest in ? The ways of poll ! ticians are certainly mysterious ? THE extraordinary developments iu the Block Hills mines are grad- tmily exciting universal attention.

New Ulster over * coats , new suits and limitless prom ises are the magicians which bring about this metamorphosis : D. C. Brooks , editor of the Oma ba Republican , the most egotistical ignoramus that ever crossed tbe Missouri river , is'engaged throwing mud at prominent Republicans of this State because they refuse to as sist in bolstering up the most cor rupt federal ring that ever cursed any community. It is a notorious fact that Hitchcock's appointees , almost without exception , have been dead beats , men who Were un able to succeed in any legitimate business , and Unless Hitchcuck is returned to the U. 8.

[ Republican , Dec. 26.18T6. Mr. Hitchcock has the cleanest record of the most prominent cau- lidutca now in the field for senatorial honors. Scarcely one of the numer ous aspirants other than Mr Hitch cock , but what has cutupsome dido during his political career that does not settle his hash with our man.

It will be understood and remem bered that the same men have had control of that ehe t tllirlug all this time , and. # 8 would like for them to show to this people the cause for this Change of opinion.

The people of this county read too much lor those editors toatuff any thing down them m favor of Hitchcock. Hatinders county kuowo from experience that ho is a disreputable bummer , and nothing can be said in his favor that the people of this county will accept. Hitchcock has bought the whole outfit , and they might Just as well own up. Cunningham is in a little better shape financially now than be was at the close of the Senatorial elec tion six years ago , when Dave But ler and Bill Stout furnished him the money to go to Washington , teas ( as Stout and Butler both instructed him to do ) force Hitchcock to give him the place which he traded his vow for , before be ( .nitchcock ) had time to devise a plan by which he could repudiate the claim and deny the bargain.

" If every member from Western Nebraska would regard the known wishes of his constituents cud Jive up to those wishes in bis vote for United States Senator , Hitchcock would iiot receive a soli tary vote from this end of the State. An overwhelming majority of the West have pronounced against him it id if our representatives honor the wishes of the people above political cimblnations and trickery , Hitch cock will not receive the support of a tingle member from Western Ne braska. f North Platte Republican. The disposition manifested by the ami Hitchcock force at Lincoln to pink all personal ambitions and claims and form u union of forces in the common cause to defeat the Hitchcock dynasty cannot be com mended too highly. So long as thitj spirit is obeyed defeat is impossible aud victory will surely abide with tbctn and the people. The cause of the unties is the cause of Republi canism , of an unbiased press and of the people They represent a prin ciple whteh destroys tbe gopher clan effectually , breaks up the wickedest political combination of office-seek ers and political trickstero that ever cursed a young state , strikes the po litical shackles from tne party , UMJ trulizes the monopoly element which at present enters so largely into the politics of Nebraska , and will leave the ptople and the party free and untramelled to work for the greatest good to the greatest number. Every member with hla ear at tuned to catch the vex poyull , and with conscience and heart earnest to catch the inspiration from the honest masses , will array himself on the side of the anti-Hitches as surely as duty puiuts unerringly to truth and virtue leads the feet in paths of honor.

[ Saline Co. Newt. Six years ago Hitchcock went into the Democratic caucus and pledged an "equitable division of patronaae , " in case tbe Democrats would vote for and elect him as U. 8. Senator. He had seven Republi can friends out of thirty-two In the Legislature , and with these , together with twelve Democrats and seven bolters , he secured his election , against the wish of a very large majority of the republican members. He used the democrats catspaw and then broke his faith with them , as he has ever done with members of all parties. Never , at any election in this State , has he supported a straight republican ticket , and yet be insists that he should be chosen by republicans as U S. Sanator. Unexampled im pudence. [ Lincoln Globe.

Upon being told that all that wjuld be required of bim for settlement , to avoid pro secution , Would be a wf Itten apology and payment df his share of the costs of proceedings , he put down the required document and three dollars and wentoutgrumbling that it was "d d dear salvation. " . By yesterday morning twenty- four from among those whose names had bee.n taken on New Year's eve bad followed this ex ample. Some did it m tbe bluff manner of the young man noted above , while others sneaked up and maae their peace. Of the twelve young women whose names are on tbe black list , all have been atoned for either by personal appearance at the lawyer's office with the necessary apology fee , or by s nd ing these essentials at the hands of an anxloua father , or brother. Tbe amount accepted iu settlement Varied iu individual cases , and Mr Platt , while declining to tell what were the figures either beparately erin in the aggregate , saya that the sum fixed was influenced by the circumstances of the offender. The young men say that one of their number tbe youugest of them was absolved ou payment of fifty cents } biit Mr PJatt denies that amnesty even iu a quantity sufficient for the smallest boy was sold for that amount. Oth ers say that the lowest quotation for the commodity was three dollars , the price being kept up by the firm deitiand , end the fact that the sup ply was at the mercy of t'io church party , who had a corner iu the ar tide. tide.These twenty-four repentanls do not include nil the disturbers , as the surreptitious pencil of the good brother who planned their day of reckoning and discomfiture recorded the names of thirty of the scions of the first families of Huutmgton There are six , all ycung men , who are still stiff-necked and rebellious. These young meu have not visited Lawyer Platt , nor have they penned words of contrition , and , moreover , they declare that they will not. They further say tfcat the church has no right to compromise with them if they have done wrong , and is itself doing a wrong by offering such a compromise. They farthet explain that the cnurch exercises arc always so ludicrous that tbe.r merriment is aroused , and once aroused they plead tbe difficulty of allaying it. This , they Bay , has been ti u * of the devotions of this cougr gallon sjnce the conversion of animuained : Weeden. Mr.Weedcn , when inspired by the i pirit of an excii'.d meeting , dropped on hia bauds aud knees and crept on all fours to illustrate bow tbe sinners groped m darkness. Equally effec tive iu provoking laughter of the young visitors was Mr. Weeden's deliueatior * of the distress of the uu- regeiierate , when overwhelmed b > the waters of affliction , and with out the consolations of religion ; Thia was pictured by Mr. Wet-den , by falling flat nppn bis fa < * e on the floor , and kicking and swrawllug iu imitation of ti : motions of swim ming. Mr. Weeden is no longer conspicuous in the meetings , buthh place id supplied by a Mr. Harry Sammis , who is distinguished from him only as meutal gymnas tics are distinguished from phy sical cues. It was Mr. Sammis , the youu'/ man say , who innocently started the merriment that after ward assumed disgraceful proportions tions on New year's eye. He did it by a description of bis fight with tbe devil. Ho was graphic , and told how he bad grasped the evil one in his baud , and wrestled with and overcame bim ; and how he had at leugh driven bis irjerual majesty into the leg of a boot and closing the top with his hand , had held him prisoner. This started the hilarity that even the actors themselves admit was uproarious. Much inisehief was done by a young man with a spool attached to a string. By rolling the spool under-the seats and carefully pull ing it back he created the impression that a mouse was running about tbe floor , and great commotion was ex cited among the women. Coughing aud laughing were prolilin sources of annoyance , and the young man with the clay pipe , already men tioned , was abetted by companions with canes , who pushed the bats over the eyes of the ladles in front of them and pulled down their back , hair. As tbefaithful , were called -closer to the altar , three of the sis ters innocently added to the mirth bv bearing placards inscribed "Real Estate for Safe , " "C. O. D. , " and "No Trust.
