THE headless trunk of our decap

Ice a revolt among Nebraska Be-
publicans against President Hayes ,
because he has seen fit to wltbdiaw
the federal troops from the South

cause of this incipient mutiny is ,

proves that Postmaster Hall the
onghly comprehends the spirit <

President Hayes to order the unoe

Under Mr. Yost's regime the poe

The re election of Mr. Hartr

by the same gang of political cat-
throats that compassed the defeat of
Judge Thurston and District Attor-
rey Connell within tne past two

The treacherous betrayal of Mr.

f -net Benator stands in marked contrast -
trast with the overwhelming major
ity by which Col. Wilbur , a near
relate of the Benator , is elected as
the head of our municipal govern
ment. This contrast is a matter of
congratulation to those -who , with
us , have participated on the winning
side of thelateSenatorial campaign.
We are gratified to know that no
man appreciates this more than our
Major-elect , Colonel Wilbur. - It is
to be hoped this has been the last
election in Omaha when honest
Republicans like Connell and
Jacobs , whose characters are unim
peachable , shall fall tht victim * to
factional malice and treachery.
HESATOR 8ATWDERS AND THE
DEADWOOD P05TOFFICE.
The appointment of a notoriously
bad man to a federal office always
affords Bam. Tilden's Omaha man
Friday , Dr. Miller , who engineered
the Cronin movement in Oregon ,
the most unalloyed pleasure. Thus
it is thai this great reformer in the
same breath assures the readers of
the Omaha Herald that "the Re
publican party is dead&nd eternally
damned , no matter what happens , "
and "Mr. B. O. Adams cleaned out
our junior Benator on the Dead wood
poetofSce in a manner that must
have been doubly mortifying to
that distinguished man. "
Now there is tie doubt that this
appointment must have been ex
ceedingly mortifying to Senator
Saunders , as it is to every decent
Republican in this State ; and in
view of the misstatements that
have appeared in print in the ± ier-
ald , and other western papers , con
cerning this matter , we deem it our
duty to correct the misapprehen
sions created in the public mind.
Before entenng on this task we shall
briefly review the career of this
man Adams , as far is It is pub
licly known here :
Adams made bis debut in Omaha
some eight or nine years ago as a
mercantile clerk and book-keeper ,
in which capacity he was employed
by various firms. In 1870 , while ir
the employ of Willis & Andresen ,
wholesale and retail liquor dealers
he was dismissed , and , if memory
serves us correctly , the firm inserted
an advertisement in one of tb <
Omaha dailies , cautioning the pub
lie against Adams as an embezzler
One of the firm , Mr. Willis , in i
conversation with Hon. JobuTafie
then Nebraska's Represent atixe ii
Congress , charged Adams with be
ing an embezzler. After the Sena
torial election of 1871 Adam
became Benator Hitchcock'
confidential secretary. Nobod ;
In these parts was surprise !
at his appointment. Hitchcock hai
notoriously secured his election b ;
bribery , and he needed a confiden
tlnl clerk who , like .himself , versei
In corruption , could serve him li
the capture and dlylsion pf publl
plunder. How well suited Adam
was to this work was developed dnr
ring fhe recent legislative invest !
gallon , when Adams confessed t
being chief actor In the Flannaga :
forgery and perjury case. By foisi
ing Adams on the payrolls of the TJ
8. Senate and various department
Hitchcock managed to secure
cheap go-between in bis oorrup
jobbery at the expense of the
ernment. In appreciation of thes
services , Hitchcock made persom
appeals m behalf of Adams to h
collegues betore retiring from tr.
sphere of his Senatorial labors , an
thus he secured the endorsement , i
half a dozen Senators tor Adam
application for the Deadwood pos
. office. These Senators had no pe :
*
, sonal knowledge of Adams' dlsre ]
u table character , and the Postmasti
General very naturally consldert
their endorsement a sufficient gua
antee.
The appointment of Adams wi
thua made , and his bonds were ex
cnted and filed before Benator Baui
d ders had any intimation of the lac
Benator Saunders ei
t- At this stage
-
tIr tered his protest against the a
Irn pointmentj and General Tyner G
sured him that if the charges fil
'
by him against Adams were su
stantlated , no commission won
„ issue. To substantiate the
charges it required the official ooj
of-the Fiannagan forgery investig
tlon. This has no yet reached tl
department , but inasmuch as tl
r. mail service for Deadwood hadbei
li- contracted for , the Department d
lile elded to commission Adarx
h * reserving the privilege of superce
m ing him just as soon as the evlden
mn of bla dishonesty shall come into
111 possession. This , we have no doul
QB will reach there at an early day , I
ly getber with protests of the oiUze
of Dead wood against the retenti
as postmaster of a carpet-bag s
venturer , who had come to t
Black Hills with a commission
ve his pocket , when honest , sturdy pi
ur neers , who staked their lives a :
ve fortunes in opening the Hills to c :
luxation , are competent enough
by Oil the postmastership.
ne
ve In this connection we may t
1Et that General Tyner has doubtl
been misled Into temporarily ;
ras cepting Mr. Adams' explanation
ef. the fact that he was endorsed
, ef.ri. . Representative Welch , who , as
ers well known , is Hitchcock's autor
ton , and who with Adams has b
. a party to some of the corrupt j
tet. against which the recent X
ian Islature pronounced such an e
aa- phatlo verdict Every honest !
publican in Nebraska will comm

op- tionista and irresponsible adven

POLITICAL NOTES.
Nobody interviews the President
who doesn't come away satisfied.
There are , however , a good many
who have no chance to interview
him , and they are generally not
satisfied.
" What the Democratic party
wants , " says Nasby , "in order to
succeed in 1880 is universal ruin , "
and the party organs are trying to
bring It about by doleful predictions
and significant shakes of the head
and long-drawn inspirations.
Senator Cbristianoy is settled so
comfortably in his chair that he re
fuses to be allured by Mexico or the
Supreme Bench. It Is but too evi
dent that Mr. Chrlstiaucy has a
frosty disregard for the budding as
pirations of the Hon. Zaoh Chand
ler.
When a gentleman tells you re
gretfully and in confidence that be
is afraid that Mr. Hayes has under
taken too much , or that Mr. Hayes
knows hardly enough of practical
politics , or that Mr. Hayes is begin
ning to disappoint bis friends , it is
safe to infer that this dejected pil
grim has recently returned /rom
Washington with the assurance
that there were "no vacancies. "
For Governor of .iNew Jersey the
most prominent candidates on the
Democratic side are ex-Governor
Parker , Judge Afihbel Green , John
T. Bird , Francis 8. Latbrop , ex-
Congressman Teese , Leon Abbett ,
and Congressman Cutler. Among
tbose mentioned for the Republican
nomination are John Hill , Court-
land t Parker , William J. Magie ,
Wm. J. Sewell , ex-Senator Potts ,
and Garret C. Hobart.
Complete official returns from
the New Hampshire election give a
Republican majority of 3,204 for
Governor , which is a net gain of
646 on the majority last yew. In
the First Congressional district the
plurality of Mr. Jones , Democrat ,
is forty-five ; In the Second district
the plurality of Briggs , Republican ,
1,101 ; m the Third district the plu
rality of Blair , Republican , Is 857.
Tue Temperance vote of the State
was 848.
Not satisfied with the notoriety
they have already achieved , tne
filibusters who endeavored to pre
vent the completion of the count of
the electoral vote have had their
names and a fao-simile of their re
spective signatures lithographed on
a card. The ban mot of Walling
" when fraud is law , flllbusteriug ia
patriotism" Is conspicuously dis
played as a foot note. To be com
plete the card should represent a
generous section of Springer's Up
and the whole of Beebe balancing
Himself on a desk.
A correspondent of a western pa >
per , writing from Washington con
cenang the Speakerahip , says : HA
prominent western Democrat ! *
member of the new House , who hai
just arrived in Washington fron
the north and east , says that Morri
son's chances for the Bpeakersb.ii
are much better than many politi
clans now think. He has beei
pledged the support of the Demo
cratio delegation from Illinois , am
will count several votes from Ohio
Indiana , and Kentucky to star
with. The principal stock in tradi
of all the candidates is the forma
tlon of committees and awarding o
chairmanships. It la thought tha
Blackburn's candidacy is more fo
the purpose ol giving him prestJgi
for a committee chairmanship thai
any expectation that ne will b
elected. He is not committed as be
tweeii Cox , Sayler and Momsoo
but will probably favor the stronges
I man in the caucus. "
The speech of Senator Morgan o
Alabama , in the Senate , favorini
the confirmation of Frederick Doug
lass for Marshal of the District c
Columbia , is warmly commende
by thp Southern press. The Mobil
Register says of it'The senate

for a negative reason , but also fo
the positive reason that the Demo

licited and received large numbei
of votes from the colored peopli

A proposal ia made to lay a street

scription in San Francisco : The rail
It is proposed shall be twenty inches
wide at the base and three at the
top , over which the car wheels glide.
The roll is hollow and designed to
Inclose the large gas and water
mains side by side on the base , the
connections to be made from them
in to the upper stories of houses along
the route. Over these mains an
other tube Incloses the telegraph
wires. The rail is to be supported
on large posts fourteen feet high ,
and placed at distances of fourteen
and twenty feet apart. The posts
are to be secured in the sidewalks
at the curbs , and will serve as hitch
ing posts , and , with proper conneo-
tions with the water mains , hy
drants may be attached to them.
We have only one suggestion to
make : Another tube should be add
ed , which should combine the func
tions of a pneumatic-dispatch tube
and a clothes line , and when worn
out can be worked up Into pop-guns
i and epy-glafes frames.

Fathers expend upon the bridal out

invested in real estate or bonds in

effectually secure them and
their children from poverty. The
infection has penetrated more or less
into every home. Mothers saori-
flee health and strength at the sew
ing machine in the struggle to keep
their children beflounced and be-
tucked with the best of their neigh
bors ; the table is stinted for the
means to buy flimsy silks ; the dry
goods bill becomes a terror to the

we read at our breakfast tables the
story of borne defalcation , the temp
tation to which wasToooted in the
desire for display. New Yorkac-

their large salaries on the costumes
for their parts , and these superb
dresses , intended to daczle on the
stage , are copied in the drawing '
rooms of private life. " "
It is high time for a new depar
ture. The reform must be slow at
best , but to insure success it can-
nave no better starting-point than
in the White House. True , the
wife of the President holds no high
er rank than other women m Amer
ica ; but as the "first lady of the
Republic" she Is as "a city set upon
a hill which cannot be hid. " Let
Mrs. Hayes continue the course she
has begun , seconded by the ladies
around her , and we shall soon ice
the good effects of her example. In
deed , according to Washington cor
respondents , this is already shown
in the simple and modest tone of so
ciety at the capital. We have no desire
to lend a crusade against dress ;
nothing HO improves personal ap
pearance , and every woman has the
right to make herself as attractive
as possible. But the folly of over ,
dressing has become a serious evil
in the land , and reform could come
at no better time than now , in the
present fluancialdeproaaion through
out the country , the general reduc
tion of incomes and the consequent
necessity for retrenchment. Mrs.
Hayes is reported to have said to a
lady the other day that she had
some old fashioned ways , but she
did not think she would change
them. For the sake of the country
