the former figures , but odds of four

State Senator G. W. Williams , of

occasioned br ' tha marriage of Ulysses
Simpson Gra'ht , youngest son of Gt > n ,
Grant , to Mfss Fannie J. Change , only
daughter of Si-Senator Jerome B.
Chfttfce , of Colorado. The marriage
haa been the subject of discussion
among the elite of New York for some
time past , aud has been regarded us a
social eVent. The matter has especial
mention , taken in connection with
Mr. Grant's California expt-ricnco ,
and has been extensively discussed
here and in Sah Francisco. The
bridofro&m is a lawyer of this city
who has already won sorao distinction
in his profession , and * hosu pros
pects are of the best. Miss Chsfroa
is a blonde of the purest t > pa , aged
about 22 , and has been a prominent
b3llo in New York society since her
introduction here. The courtship ,
which has resulted in her marriage
with Ulvsses Grant , lasted a little over
a year and is described by intimate
friends of both parties as a match of
purelove. The engagement haa exist
ed nearly three months , and lias been
thus early c > nsummated only & . tha
earnest solicitation of the briut-jrooin.
Two weeks ago the date of the cere-
mouy was fixed for yesterday after

bride by Mr. Grant , who made the
responses in a clear strong voice. Tlie
bride was attired in rich bridal cos
tume , which excited the admiration
all present , and she responded in a
decided < and comparatively unembar se
rassed tone. The wedding ringj was tyhe
of chased gold , with a diamond mono he

HON. 0. K/COUTMT ,
Circumstantial Evidences of
His Duplicity.
To the Editor ol Tils Bse : I
Once upon a rime I was in charge of
a penitentiary for two years with
about eighty convicts therein. I ob
served that all of those convicts spent
. .
theil' leiauro time , and they hada con-
biderabla of it , in denying the charges
oilw
which ! led to their conviction , and
cursing those whom they had wronged
enat
and the witnesses , attorneys and
judges who had contributed towards
j"bi
bringing them to punishment for their !
crimes , I
Aud all through life I h v8
noticed that , whenever one man had
injured another in any manner , the
one charged with the injustice almost
oial
always would first deny the charge ,
and then if 5t was proven , pursue the
0wi 0- who had been wronged and his
witnesses and friends with a malignant
er thereat of his life. There are
IK enemies in this world as malignant
as thee who know they have wan
tonly injured you. !
A. citizen of Massachusetts nnined
th Union 1101/52 / company is no ex
ception to this rule , but is more selfish
tlvin a natural bjrii citizen.
This company has pursued mo with
the ntniofit malignity , financially ,
politically , and every other wiy ; for
the ptst fourta'n years.
Why haa it ? I am not without a
record , for I published the Omaha
Republican about ten years and thB
fileS are now in the Republican office ,
and I defy any ono to find therein any
evidence of ecmity on my part to rail
roads in general or the Union Pacific
in particular , on the other hand it is
there recorded that I befriended all
railroads to the best of my ability ,
whenever I could do eo without
violent injustice to the general wel
fare.
fare.It
It ia true that in those files of The
Republican a very few instances can
bu found where I criticized Ihe course
if iho Union Pacific , whenit manifest
ly failed to comply with its agreements
with this paoplo , or refused to pay its
just share of taxation , and as an in-
otnncj I will refer to the time when
tins company refused to pay taxes on
its large estate in lands , and "Jhe
cjuuties on its line Were forced to em
ploy attorneys and fight the case
through the courts , and finally ob
tained a decision from the supreme
courtof the United SUteswhich forced
the company to pay its taxes.
Thou , as now , I advocated equal
and exact justice batireen man and
mnn , and for this reason alone I have
suffered tbo psrpetual enmity of this
Co.
Co.Now
Now , it happens again that the
Union Pacific comptny has inflicted
another injury upon every tax-payer
thia county by obtaining the pass
age of a law which exempts from tax
ation a quarter of a million of dollars
worth of its property in this city nt
its assessable valuation , and also about
iho same amount for the county of
Douglas.
Nobody questions the gross injust
ice it ia conceded by all , and yet be
cause Ipointcd it outand placed the re
sponsibility upon Mr. Coutant by tbo
official records , I am denounced with
out measure , as usual. But the com
pany and its especial champions deny
paternity.
The people of thin county are the
jury in this case , and they nave a
right to have the circumstantial evi
dence before them. to
In 1873 a citizens' ticket was pre
sented to the voters of Douglas coun in
with | Uon. J. H. Kellom at its
heada moro able and honorable repub
lican never lived in this countyand the
opposition ticket was headed by the
Hon. C. K Coutant , another repub
lican.
lican.Was
Was there not sufficient circumstan-
cial evidence at that election to con
vince every reasonable voter that the
Union Pacific expended a large sum of
money to defeat the Kellom ticket
and elect the Coutant ticket ? of cf
conraa there was.
Was there anybo3y eo demented as
think the company expended
thousands on top of thousands of del
lars just for the fun of it , without
any expectation of getting the thous
and back with interest ? No , air ; the
men who manage that company are |
not that kind of fellows. it.
la it not generally known that the to
paid attorney of the company , Mr.
. M. Thunton , remained with the
legislature during its entire session for
the very purpose of preventing lesla-
tion objectionable to the company ,
and obtalniog all possible favorable to
interests , and that he faithfully
performed his duty ? Why , moat cer a
tainly.
Does any one think Thurston failed en
wefully examine the revenue law "
which passed , when in the hands of "
revision committee , before Mr.
Contant introduced it in the senate ,
and frequently thereafter , and that he or
so much of a blnnderbuss of a law
that he did not know of a provis-
i therein that was worth many thou
sands of dollars for sll time to come
the company he represented ? If
th y do , then think him to be an ass.
This is not possible.
Does any one r oMy.thnk that Cou
( ant is so t iioront. rf H and carelsss
as to Introduce a bill andhave it under
Lia immediate charge as Chairman of
a committee for Iwp weeks , urge its
paaago and vote for its passage once ,
| twice and thrice without finding cut
| that its enactment would result In
taking money out cf the pockets of
his constituents and p'ut ' it into the
"
trooonry of-a corporation , "a oilman of
Massachusetts called the UnlonPacific
| company ? No sir , nobody really
thinks so , some may say so with their
1 pi because he has said so with his
1P
pun which ought to politically damn
any man who professes to bo a lawyer.
Is not the fact that Coutant is the
only one out of eleven from Douglas
county in the last legislature , who has
bi-on renominated through the ex
penditure of a 1-irge amount of money
by the Ucion Pacific and can only
nnpo to be re-electod by the expendi
ture of more money by th.it company ,
very strong circumstanci.U evidence
tint it desires to reward him tor past
services and secure thorn for the fu
ture f Certainly it is.
Withallthiscircumatancialevidence !
before the p30ple , is it not evident I
that Mr. Coutant is convicted of be
traying t ho jn tercets of every one of
his lax-p tying constituents but one
for the benefit of a corporation which
placed him in the legislature and pro
poses to do it again through the ex
penditure of large suras of money !
For "lie 1 propose to leave Mr.

that of four years ago.
FATE OF A BAILOONIST.
Spec M Dispatch to The Bee.
PARIS , Nov. 2 1 a. m. A fright
ful and probably unprecedented bal
loon accident occurred at Gamble ,
near Paris yesterday. A large crowd
hada'sembled to witness a novel and
perilous ascension of -gymnast called f
Augu t Navareo"who had volunteered
to perform a number cf athletic feats
on a trapeze suepanded'from a Montgol
fer balloon named "Vidourillalre , "
rejecting the advice of bystanders ,
Navaree refused to allow himself to be
tied to the trapeze. There was no
car attached to the balloon. About
five o'clock the ' 'Vidourillairo" was
let loose from Its moorings , and rose at
in the air , Navaree hanging to the
trapeze. He appeared quite confi
dent , and repeatedly saluted the spec
tators. W.hen , however , the balloon
had reached the height of nearly
l.OCO yards , fhe prowd was horrified
see him suddenly let go the bar and
fall. The tragic descent wai watched
breathless excitement. At last the. „
body reached the ground , striking the ' "
ground w th such toice that it made a
hole in the earth two feet deep , and
rebounded four yards. Ic was crush-1 la
ed and mangled almost beyond recog
nition. Meanwhile the baleen , freed
from its human ballast , shot up with
lightning speed and soon disappeared
from sight. Late in thn evening it
burst and fell at Menetmont , much * o
the consternation of the inhabitants
that Parisian quarter.
COMEMS OF THE LONDON I'EESS.
Special Dispatch to The Bca.
LONDON , Nov. 2 1 a. m. Of all U. U.
the London papers , which received
telegrams Sunday night in
reference to the excitement in New W
York about Irish affaira , only The K.
Standard , Conservative , publishes
. The Pall Mall Gazette , referring
the'recent speach of J."P. Conners ,
M. P. , says : "Da not let the crimes of
Irishmen hungering for will , justice ,
and revenge , blind us to the fact that
Ireland has been suffering from bitter
poverty , and still more bitter appro-
henrion. "
"Tho St. James Gazette published W
letter-signed "Old member ot the
viuilenco committee of San Francis-
, " advocating the substitution of
"Judge Lynch" for Secretary Foster. M
"Do this. " he sayf , ' 'And you will
flatten the land league mighty
quick. " The letter isprobably bogus ,
at any rate written by some En
glishman. 11
CONFLICTIKO ELEMENTS.
Special Di patch to The B e.
LONDOK , November 1 10 a. m. A
Dublin special says the disturbed con-
dition of affairs in Ireland is further
complicated by the appearance Sunday
of a proclamation , signed by nine
magistrates , prohibiting the. holding
of the great land meeting called to be
held at Dang union , in the county of
Tyrone dur n ; this week. It is un
derstood that this sudden decision is
duo to an apparently well authenti
cated report chut in tbe event of the
meetings being held , ten thousand
organized Orangemen would interfere
to break them up by force aud pre
vent lha Bpoah.ci-a frota
them.

LONDON , November 2 , 1 a. m
Too prosecution of officers aud agents
of the Irish land le guo'begsn yeater
day at Bantry. The casts against
'r lsh and Healy being the first
oilled. Attorney Blake for iho govern
ment charged the defendant ? with
threatening to compel a Mr. Manning
to quit tha farm which he had recently
taken after another tenant had bean
ejected The feeling against the pro
ceedings of the government is gaining
round daily , and it is reported that
there are differences in the ministry
coneornicg the policy in Ireland.
At the trial at Bantry yesterday ,
the government shori-hand writer
was cilled , arid proved the accuracy
of hia notes of Messrs. Healy and
Walsh's speeches delivered at Bintry
October 7. Mr. Julian , a solicitor ,
defended the pr'soners and character
ized the case as one of the most trivial
over brought up , and ono unworthy of
the government's notice. Tno magis
trates , after consultation , committed
both of the defendants for trial at the
next Cork assizes. On leaving the
court , both of the prisoners were
enthusiastically cheered , and mot
with an ovation at the hands of the
throng that surrounded the court.

.Pasha made an attempt to arrest the
Albanians who opposed the delivery
of Dulcigntf to Montenegro , but that
he met with a fierce resistance at St.

LONDON , November 1 , 1 a. m.
The official adv CBS from Cape Town
ddhlit that the situation in BaS'land
is most critical. All of the Bssutoa
east of Dcanburg in both sections of
Pondomiae _ have rebelled. The Ar-
i tills and many belief ttlbea are
doubtful. A majority of tbo minor
chiefs , of Timhbel , are in open rebel
lion. Gen. Clarke bad gonb'co "We-
poner , and had returned to Mafeting
with 150 wagons unopposed. The
colonial governmen are straining every
nerve to suppress the rebellion.
ATTEMPTED SPLIT.
Special Diap&teh to Tin On.
8fm PABISJ November 2 , 1 a. m. The
miinicipality of Paris , despite a strong
protest of the moderate section , has
PIC
commenced ( the discussion of a scheme
for substituting elected mayors for
the twentieth district for the mayors
faotV nominated by the gnneral govern
ment , and for rendering the municip
ality almost independent of tap go
ernmcnt. The scheme , which is con
sidered as a reassertion of communist
principles , will certainly never be
sanctioned bv the chamber.
