Mr. Tburman Introduced a bill to pro hlbit members of Congress from be coming Eureties on certain bonds. Referred. The long bond bill , Mr. Wallace being still unavoidably absent , was passed over for the present with tha understanding that it should retain its place as unfinished business. Tae military committee rtporled adversely the bill extending time . - for. presenting claims for presenting claims ( or equipping and drilling volunteers during the rebellion. In definitely postponed. The house joint resolution provid ing for issuing of arms and ummu iiition to Idaho under tLe act of Ju ly 3d , 1876 , passed. Mr. McMillan called up the sen ate bill to authorize the Worthington - ton auu Sioux Falls railroad com pany to extend ita road into the territory of Dakota , to the village of Sioux Fall ? , which was discussed at * length and then laid aside. Mr. Beck called up hia resolution declaring it inexpedient lo'levy aud collect taxes for maintenance of the sinking fund , and spoke at length iu fav df the resolution. Vfiiet'k opposed rofvjynce of the resolution to the committee on finance. Ho renewed previous ar guments and declared our whole system of federal taxation was uu- jaat aud heavy. He argued that the Astora , Stewart ? aud Vauder- bilts should pay their share towards the support of the government. Whatever financial legislation should bs enacted deprtsiion will continue under this oppressive tax ation. He mentioned the decline of ship building , and said that our commerce which in 1861 was pass ing that of Great Bn'aiu , has frllen off. He favored repeal of navigation laws and hlgn piotective tarjff , which had well iiigh destroy ed our commercial marine. Tiio Blnkiug fund was now iu a con dition to meet all pledges , and there was no necessity to levy taxes for it at present. He opposed all subsi dies. He would encourage com petition and discountenance com binations. Ho favored free ship ? , removal of all taxation on ships , aud other sup plies. He favored an me jme tax KO as to raise $25.000,000 annually. At present poverty bears the burdens of the government , while wealth es capes. He feared Alessrs Merrill and Dawes would control the finance committee and defeat hid resolu tion. The treasury department should have u collecting and dis bursing secretary who should ba a check on _ each other. Hid resolu- tlon was to revive commerce , not to weaken credit. Mr. Mornllsaid ho was willing to do a great deal to reduce taxation , but thought it strange that Mr. Beck Bbould want this important resolu tion passed without referring it to the finance committee. The navi gation laws , which Mr. Beck denounced - nounced , were the same as in 1881. He denied that the poor were op pressed and the rich favored by present taxation. The iact that no people on earth arc clad better than Americans , proves that taxes do not oppress them. He hoped this would not bo one of the resolutions to be passed under the whip and spur of outside influence. The re moval ot tuxes was a pleasant duty , but their imposition was sometimes a patriotic necessity. The motion to refer to Uie finance committee was agreed to. without division. Adjourned. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Marsh offered a resolution re citing that the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad companies owe the TJnited States 128,000,000 ot of accrued interest on bonds guar anteed by the United States , and and that the earnings of said com panies have been consumed by divi dends declared on capital stock in violation of their charters , and di recting the judiciary committee to report whether it is expedient to enaot such laws as v.ill prohibit the payment of dividends on said stock until indebtedness to the United States is liquidated. Referred. Ou motion of Mr. Eden the Sen ate amendments to the House bill making an appropriation for pay ment ot claims reported allowed by the secretary of the treasury were concurred in. The speaker then called commit tees for reports. Mr. Crapo. from the committee on foreign affairs , reported back the bill supplementary to the act to carry into effect a covenant between the United States and China , con * eluded In 1853 , nnd to give the court of claims jurisdiction in certain cases. Paved. At the conclusion of the morning hour a half hour's discussion arose as to the businest to be next consid ered. After a great deal ot amuse ment , and while Mr. Townsend was on the Seer , the Speaker an nounced that discussion was entire ly out of order , and that it seemed to him public business should bo pro ceeded with , which called forth a remark from Mr. Townsend. He did not want the chair to lecture him in public. The Speaker The chair will lee- ture the gentlemen in private. Mr. Townssnd You had better. I do not want any public lecuire ; and further , I will not submit to it. [ Great laughter. ] Tne house then went into com mittee of the whole , Mr Potter iu the chair on tiie fortification appro priation bill. The bill appropriates $100,000 for works ot defense , $125,000 for ar mament of fortifications , J50.000 for barb ir and torpedo defense The bill was laid aside for reports of the House. Durham made a speech on the bill authorizing the Fecretary of the treasury to employ temporary clerks , and making au appropria tion for them. OR.

Tlio Proposed Ncrf Territory of Lincoln andian AlLtlrs Mili tary Matters. Correspondence Cbcigo ! Tribune. . Bismsrck , D. T , * tb 25. If con. gress moves fast enough , this live village of Bismarck will bo in Lin coln territory before the Fourth of July. The Black Millers have struck the right leal in their pro position to divide Dakota territory north and south , on the hundredth meridian , just far enough east of Bismarck aud the Missotirl river to include 600 miles of the fertile val ley of thu Big Muddy. They will have the sym pathy , aud probably the active assistance , of the MontaUa delegate , the Wyomlug D&lagale , the two Nebraska senators , and the whole Minnesota delegation > - With such a local ibOuence the Lincon-Terri- tory schemciB stand a fur better cuauce in Congress than when they were lighting Wyoming and Mon tana. Even the Dakota delegate , Mr. Kidaer , will not growl very loud against the ctlort to divide Da' kola on the hundredth meridian. If he does the Hills will see that he never returns to Congress again in the capacity of a delegate. Hia personal interests would favor the saherne , as the division would take the uncnutrollabltt miners out of ids district , and sat aside his am bitious rivals in Bismarck. He would have a ftir easier success in the next Republican Convention if he could let the division occur under - der his gentle protest. The new territory would embrn.ce the wealth and population of ( he Hills , Forts Sully , Standing Keck , JR'.co ' , Lincoln , Stevenson , Bertholil , Buford , the city of Bismarck , the scores of stations on the Custer aud Fort Pierre routes to the Hills , the ranches on the mail tonka to Bu ford aud Tongue river , and Fort Sully covering a total distance of 1,300 miles. Then the Northern Pacific Extension west would give the now territory about 200 miles of the great northern route to the Pacific , and all the population aud development that will necessarily follow the building o'f the road. As it * stands there are forty-five rnslea of the Northern Pacific in the pro posed division. Again , the pros pects of narrow gauge rail roads from Cheyenne and Bismarck into the Hills are good. The company organized in Bis marck have been promised the aid of the JNorthcru Pacific te the ix- tent of free depot grounds , right of way through the laud grant , $250- 000 , 1G per ceut advantage upon Black Hills business , and- all railroad - road building material , transportation - tion from St."Paul or Duiuth , over the Northern Pacific railroad , at cost. Col. DeQratf. the principal railroad builder of Minnesota , has promised his backbone aud grit iu the construction He has been ten dered the presidency of the road , but I doubt his willingness to accept. He like ) to build roads , but not to put money in or manage them. Fort Duford , 226 milss northwest of Bismarck , complains that the weatuer coulinues so mild that the work of cutting ice has been bus- peuded , and half a crop only has been gathered. Iu order to lill the government ice-houso , a lengtby cold snap must occur , which id very improbable. Tne other iwfnrtaut crop , wood , is largo. Tiio mild wiular , and the increase of wood- yards and choppers , have conspired to make the'article very plenty. The steamers of the Upper Missouri and Yellowstone will have no trouble iu buying an abundance of fuel at bottom prices. The stage line from Buford to Tongue river now makes two trips a week. The travel is on the increase. It is , "On to the Yellowstone ! " Cattle raising seems to be the pros pective bonanza. Besides , there are people in this section who believe tnere is gold in the Big Horn coun try , and next spring they intend to be there aud test it to their heart's content. As an illustration of how the fortunes of mining run , I have a little story from Adobetown , Mon tana. A claim , out of which the owner , in 1865 , made a fortune , was sold in 1866 as "played out" ground , for a thousand dollars. The purchaser made money out of thu ground , and sold numerous partner ship interests besides , for many times the original cost of $1,000. Ho sold his last interest , a year ago , for $6,000. The fresh purchasers have cleared $6,000 , made good wages out of the diggings , ana have hundreds of dollars in tight. 'Played out" ground sometimes pays. Indian sensations are painfully scarce. It is getting monotonous. A calm , however , is supposed to precede a storm. Threatened Fort Peck has been reinforced , aud now has about one hundred men. The Indians iu that neighborhood are evidently there at present as buffalo hunters. The buffalo are very numerous , aud the weather EO delightful that no Indian with HU Indiau'u love of sport and game could resist the temptation-to run away from the agencies and make forthe land of buffalo meat. It is reported that Lone-Dog , from Sit ting Bull's camp , has been inter viewing the Assiuiboines at Wolf Point , with fight in his speech. He cot forty Uncapspas , who were with the Assiuiboines , to join him A careful reading of the Northern Pacific extension bill reveals the un pleasant fact that the sellers on the Big Heart , west of Bismarck , are "left. " The bill protects settlers 100 miles from either terminus , but leaves those within that distance to trust to luck. Gen. S D.Sturfiis will return from his "sick leave" to-morrow evening aud relieve Col. Tilford as com mandant of Fort A. Lincoln. Capt. Donovon , of the 17th in fantry , stationed at Fort fenibiua , luvj been courtmartialed on the charges of drunkenness aud disor derly conduct. The verdict has not been officially promulgated.

The other evening we enjoyed a delightful party at the theater above named , where the Pleasant Hours Club gave a most recherche ball. We never had any experience as a fashion reporter , consequently we cannot do justice to a description of the ninny tasty toilettes displayed , but they were not worth mentioning when compsicd with the bewitch ing forms which they half revealed , half disclosed The so'Jt glanecs from bright eyes , the merry laiuh and the delicious enchantment of the dreamy dance have been too often - ten described to need repetition ; EO wo will sy that everything was lovely and the aurine bird wsxs way up.

A cow he.Sjrcceutly been causing some trouble to the honest Bohcml aus of a neighborhood hereaboulpj and finally sbo brought on a general fight ; men , women and children participating with clubs aud other missels for implements of waifuo , aud as a result the whole crew were brought before Justice Coru- wel very sadly damaged. A two hundred pound fumale who came off with a broken nose , was aaked by the lawyer to explain to the jury hoxv , when , and where aud by whom she was assaulted. This was duly translated to her , and wheii slie fully comprehended that sne muat show first how she was as saulted , she snatched ( be nearest juryman a slender follow and gave him such a series of kiciis , cuff s aud jerks , that before the judge could interfere , the poor fellow was a badly used up man. Ignorance of what was really required caused it all , which , when fully understood the trial proceeded. A NEBRASKA GIANT. Crete has a man by the name of Jarais Marshall who is six feet Beven and a half inches tail and weighs 118 pounds. We suggest that ho send bis pedigree to Bar- num , who will furnish him with high-heeled boots and advertise him as being seven foot seven , with 300 pounds uvardupois.

BUSINESS NOTES. Corey Bros are doing a big busi ness in their corner store on East Thirteenth street , and besides they have an extensive houao in Seward. The Matsh goods of all kinds are kept here , and among them is the famous Self-Binding Harvester. The wind-mlll made by Ihe Manh Co. is having a big run. Tne Van Brunt , Berber & Co. seeder , and the Quincy planter are sold here. Mr. I. K. Corey also attends to the buh- me33 of justice of the peace. Mr. George V. Everloy owns the Bouner stables , which are the lead ing ones iu this part of tbo State , both for livery and for sale of farm and buggy horses. Just now when immigration is pouring into Ne braska from all parts of the cast this butiuess is a very important one , aud judging by the stock on hnnd when we called we believe that this establishment Is fully prepared for the rush. Mr. F. J. Bademacher has the leading business m the furniture line. Two stories are piled full of gdods.

We got come goods from Mr. T. for much lower figures than we could purchase the aarno in Omaha. 'Ihis may seem strange , but it is never theless a fact. Mr. G. W. Farllu , a hard working energetic man , does the express and delivery business of Crete , besides running a feed stable. Mr. Frank Kinsley we found in charge of a feed and livery stable and as busy aa a beaver making the horses' coats ehine lilie silk. Mr. R.

In a shop ad- oiuiuz , uphoJsiering , repairing , "setting up" aud varnishing is done. Mr D B Cherry is the station agent here , and as pleasant and ac commodating a gentleman as we liave met among the host of polite officials iu the employ of the B& M R R Company , and we believe no road has a better class of em- ployes to fill its responsible posi tions. tions.Mr. Mr. G. L. ieeser , the Crete agent for the New American Sewing Bla- chlne is getting a big business for this invaluable triumph of inven tive genius. We fully inteuded to visit the flouring mill of Bridges & Johnson , located south of town , but owing to lack of lime wo did not. It is , we are informed , one of the b2st mills in the South Plalto country and it te , moreover owned by men of en terprise and sterling worth. A shipment of five car loads of flour to Glasagow , Scotland , was made recently , and the establishment of branches all aloug lhe B. & M. road is ono of the most recent and most valuable en terprise of this firm. These branches will furnisn all the facilities of a reg ular grist mill , as they will ex change flour , bran and shorts for wheat , exacting no more than the ordinary toll. This is truly enter prise , aud if successful will be a great advantage to the South Platte farmers. Many other firms were mlesetl by us , owing to the lack of time ; but when we take another trip along the B. & M wo hope to make up for these deficiencies. J. H. P. STILL DOUBTFUL. Europe Uncasj , and War Yet Probable. London , March 5. The Grand Duke will advance on Feri-Keui , 2 miles from Pera , immediately , aud will pasa through Constantinople with a large portion of the army be fore returning to Russia. The cession of the greater part of Ar menia is said to have been accepted in lieu of a money indemnity , ex cept the sum of 40,000,000 STERLING , which will be paid partly in money and partly iu bonds , secured by the revenues of Asiatic provinces and customs dues at Constantinople. The limits of Bulgaria are said to include neither Salonica iior Adriunople , and no demands have been made upon the Egyptian tri bute. These are the best authenti cated rumjrs in Constantinople , but absolute dependence cannot bo placed in them. A hope is generally expressed here that the terms will bo made known at once , but I have reason to believe that SFA'ERAL DAYS WILL ELAPSE before they are communicated Considerable excitement was crea ted yesterday by a report ihat the British Minister bad t > ccn recalled from St. Petersburg , but it was net credited , except on tlio streets , where some noisy demonstrations took place. It now seems probable that England will bo unable to of fer any serious opposition to Rus sia's plans , having no prospect of obtaining ATJSTBIA AS AN ALLY , and the policy of on abandonment of objections io all points except tbo = e directly affecting England is adyocated. In a leading tory news paper , in an editorial apparently in spired by high authority , England is advised to approve any terms which do not attack Egypt or India and to abandon Europe , us Europe has abaudoned her. Inasmuch as AuEtna Is now apparently reconciled to Russia , the prospect of a final settlement of the eastern question by a PEACEABLE DISCUSSION in a conference grows more and more orobable. The worst features , so far as known , are the extended cession of Asiatic territory. It is un derstood that Salonica id not in cluded in New Bulgaria. According to the Daily News'telegram , all the delay has come from the procrasti- na'ing gait of the Turks. The tone of the journals varies The Telegraph IS STILL FOB WAR , and is very bitter on Russian du plicity , and tbe character of the terms of peace. The N&WS Ibiuks the danger is over unless war be forced by the English fanatics. Tbe Times concludes that the sit uation is reassuring unless there be eome egregious and inexcusable blnnder in the subsequent negotia tions. . . .

Similar con sideration has not been shown Aus tria. It ia stated that Count An- drassy will make full exposition of his policy to the delegation , which will meet , probably , Thursday.
