As a nutter of frtcl THE BEE has a eil V.o war on Mr. Paidcck be- 133 it do < J3 not regard his reelection tion , amniiy the probabilities , and I do not bsliovc any considerable number of republicans will wreck thojr reputa tions by putting thamaolvci on record for Paddock for ; ; second term. Ne braska is a youna ; state , populated by as intelligent a class as may be fonnd in any state in the Union. She ia en titled to bo represented in the U. S. sanatc not merely by a man of much higher ib'Jiy than P d-lock pna- sesaas , but by a tr.au who , has positive convictions on ! cvciy Vitring isiuo ; a man whoao' ' record does not give the lie to his pro tections of stalwart republicanism , and his pretentious of'unswerving fidelity to his constituents. During tha freuatorial contest , six years ago , I WAS im active ? nd warm supporter of Gon. John M. Thayer , who had sorrel the state with more signal ability than any man that haa over represented ns on ths floor of the nonato. I waa opposed to Paddock because 9D percent of the republicans of Ne braska looked Ui.on him K an apostate who had b tr ycd the prtj su the most critical parit'd in ita hinry , by loagniag with the copperhead democ racy for f.'lQ&h ends ; t/y becoming a candidate for cansrtss on thv ticket with J.

Thayer , whom I did support , waq un- sible to procure a loan for me. Pad dock's clectii in 1875 was , aa we all ISUOBa result of chainlighttuup , and a consolida-i--u < f t-o dfinocr tic vote in the legislators for Paddock , upon n pledge on his part to cast hia politi cal fortunes iritii the democrats , when ever they captured the "White House. " TJiat pledge is still In ex istence , and I may he able to exhibit it before the legislature ballots for senator. A written pledge , equally s treasonable to tao republican party , waa made by Piddock to the demo cratic-delegation "rani Otoe county , at whose disp.v-1 ho rilaoed tha feder al pitronaga of tst o junty. The foil tcxf of that cnsarkavle document "was published by 2I jor Uilcombe. two or three weeks B O. At the time Paddock vrsa elected I ivas not aware of this infamous bar- Uain , and when , Iho day after his elec tion , the general ajjent of the associated press requested mo to telegraph" P&d- dockV political pedifrrco , I responded thr.tMr , Piulccc'craa a republican , ami wodd act ic.7 -r.i with the ad- niiniitwtfo-i. I LCO wr3ia en editor ial load rfor THK BEE , lu which Pad dock's elevation was favorably com mented oq , and tha psopls of Nebras ka , republicans especially , Tfcfo as- Etirod that Mr. Tipton's Euoci ser would make a creditable representa- tive , who , being without entsnglit alliances , would aim solely to legl hte for the public good. A few da ] later I received a letter from the sei ator , acknowledging the generoi treatment of THE" BEE , and asaurlr me o ! his warm friendship. I have said this much to show tb : I was disyoncd at the outset of 21 Paddock's senatorial career to Md hii in securing a foothold among repul lican leaders of the nation , and mat himself popular with the people of th itate. Sx : yeara have ehpeed ; Sir. Pac dock haa come home to ask an er dorsement of his eenatarial career e the hands of a legislature made u largely of young men who kao nothing about his Doliticalhiatory , an precious li lc about hh record es senator. Many of there niembei hare come to.Ncbraska since Pad dock's election , atd very few kno\ \ what a weak , vasoillating and medi ocre representative Paddock has been SB compared with men who repreien other states. It is for their benefit that I not give my personal observations of hi conduct. During the six yean of Paddock' senatorial career , 1 have visaed tin national capital eisjht or ten times and spant over six months off and 01 in the aimonphbfa of Washington Dnnng thc e visits I csmo in coutac with leading men from all parts o the union , and we-j frequently Bom ' pslied to apologiz2 for Nebiask'a whei aiked if auch & light-weight 03 Pad dock was cat out of our best senator ! al Umber. 1 have compared uotei with journalists in the reporters' gallery lory , who are very accurate ganger ! of the calibre of senators , and the pre vailing opinion exprcsaed among then : was that Paddock was B sort of polit ical jnmpinjack , who pops up everj few minutes , and mikes blaseU su premcly diiagtoeabla and ridiculous by flippant remarks and silly ques tions , just to get his name on ere j page of The CcngreuJcnil fiscordj but who , upon tS5 iuoii critical Oca- ' " . .mr , wliBIi vital issnaa ate pending , hirns up missing , among skulkcn in the clo k room. His lamentable lack of dUcrotion , and natural bent foi birabt-f-slicg people , ha mide him : ne laughing stock amons Intelligent men all over the country. I pro'iimo neirly everybody fn No- biaaka rcmcmbtirs Padaosk'o billa to "locale a naval observatory at KeameJ and a merino hospital ct Iebra ka City. On tlia othOr hand , toonsurea which the < rowing wc3t demanded at the bands of confcrcn , cither met witn veiy gingerly support li-om Jlr. Pad dock , or hia Uowntight opposition. On t'io Tbnrman bill , re < [ uiring the Pacific railroads to pay interest on their mortgaga bonds to the govern ment , a measure so eminently just that no honest man could poiaibly ob- jeit to it , Mr. Paddock's vote ia ro- cardedftgainstthebill. Onncarlyerery bill granting subsidies to monopolies , or releasing them from chartered ob ligations , Paadock's voio is recorded with the tools and cappcra of the mon opolies. When the bill remonetiaiug the silver dollar waa pending , whict wra & measure demanded ba thy people - plo of hia own btate , nhd the whole west , Paddock's aclivo Bj-tnpv.hipa were with Wall stieat gold gamblers. Se had written out a speech that ho Intended to deliver against Iho bill , but WEB kept from making a fool of himself br the urgent advice of Sena- ; or Saundera , ? nd finally cast his vote ror the bill under protest. On many ) f the most Important bills upon which i ery loyal senator ought to have made i record , Mr Paddock was either mred or recorded as absent ( dodging n the cloak rooms ) . Paddock's stilwart republicanism is i coed deal like an attempt to palm iffa galvanized brass watch for solid ; old. Barring the historic tact that is wes an Andy Johnson apostate u upon collision with copperhead dem erits and when elected to the sen- to wanted it understood that ho waa "consorvativerepublican , " and never iropored to take part in a republican aucuj , I cannot comprehend how a lan with his record can lay claim to talwrrtkra. A man h usually judged by his as- Dciates , and Paddock's most intimate asoclates at Washington , r.nd his lonitors and advisors arc J. Sterling lorlon and P. W. Hitchcock. I was n the floor of the senate during the selling scenes of the great debate ver the bill to pension Jeff Davis as Mexican veteran , when Zach Chan ter delivered that memorable ten ilnutes speech that electrified the lyal men of the cotmtty like the first i sbel gun fired at Snmter. During ' tat whole debate , in which stalwart ( publicans wrestled like ghnts with 10 conted brigadiers , Paddock was ittlng back and forth through the oak rooms , en the democratic side , ith J. Sterling Morton and Daa borhees. The republicans were osely pre&ssd , and carried aorno of io pending raotiona bv only one or " to"mftiorHy. . Padd ; ck's harloiting ith the confeds was most , of tha time sdging votes , and covcral.asa voted ith Lamar and the otLcr -'ns'-ors ' or jflerson Davis. The motiro for this aacheiy was Paddock's anxiety to feat the confirmation of Judge rounoo , who had bsen nominated for venue collector the previous day , id he tied tip with the confed brlg- liers on the Jeff Davis issue in ox- langa for their promise to defeat nunse. Judge Crounso had served rough the entire war as a union Idler ; Paddock had served gallantly ih the home guards , drawinc$2,000 ; pear , aa territorial secretaryand | yet iddock aeks Nebraska eoldiera in the gUlature to vote for him as a etil- trt. On the claim of Pinchbick to teat in the U. S. senate , Paddock > ted with the rob si brigadiers , and his vote helped to put the republl- ns into minority in the 17.

The House Spends Another Da Over The Funding Bill. Secretary Sherman Strong ! Spoken of as His Own Successor. HOUSE. BpcUl Dtap trt to the Ek. WAfcHixoTOS , January 12. See as the journal bad been read , Mi Buckner moved to dispense with tb morning hour , his object being to prt cced with the consideration of ih fundinsbtlk Mr. Weaver , on behalf rtf the great backers , resisted the motion , but th morning hour was dispensed will alter a straggle. Mr. F. Wood then moved to go Int committee of the whole on the fund ing bill > and purposed to limit the dc bate on the pending amendment in re lation to ratu of interest tu thirty tnu ntes. ntes.Thfa Thfa was also resisted by the oppon enta of the funding bill. The debat was limited , and the houao then wen into cominitte on the whole , with Mr OoVertin tht , chair. The pending a'menduent was tha pfwred by Mr. Wood to make rate o interest 3 per cent. Mr. Wood siid that from what in formation he had received since tin bill WEB last under consideration , hii Opinion was strengthened thai a C pel cent , bowl eoulii be Ilo * ed if cougresi Kbuli repeal the tax on deposits. JJ < believed that the 'qnestioli tif iiplior wonld be aKSolulely immaterial , foi the United States would hold the con trol of the bonds in its hand * . Mr. Stevenson , , of Illinois , was on posodtoa'ny legislation wnich wouk take from the. treasury the option tc rede sia the bond at its pleasure. Mr. Weaver , of Iowa , argued thai it wai idle to say that a 3 per cent , bond could not be fl jatnd. The bond holder had already bsen paid more than the aggregate of the present na > tional debt. He wp.ntefl the lowest rate of intBtesl possible , but he would prefer to lot the bonds remain aa lhay are , subject to speedy liquidation. Ho was opposed to a long time bond at 3 per cent. , as they were more expensive - pensive than to redeem the bands at the present raten Mr. Oa'car Turner opposed a long bond , and the depriving the povein- ment of its option. Ho thought there ehonld be coupled with the bill a pro * vision for an income tax , as it was the only way of getting a revenue from these bonds. He believed the propos ition to fund the debt was in the interest - terest of national banks. Mr. Randall said ho ros'o again to advocate with incressed confidence the placing of these bonds at 3 par cert. , with an option to the government to redeem them at any time after ono or two . Helnda sta'/etaeut years. / pre pared by Mr. Elliott , of the treasury department , in which ho fixes the comparison between the market value of bond" , at the present rates of inter est , and the 3 psrc nt. bonda. From the statement thus presented , ho be lieves that even in an open market a 3 per cent , bond can be negotiated. Mr. Rindall consumed the time al- otted , and by a vote the tune was ex- ; ended to an hour. After Mr. Randall had finished his ipjech ha was taken to task by Mr. Efrye , of Maine , which resulted in a tinning debate , participated in by eadera of both sides The debate having closed , the qnes- ion was taken on Mr. Wood's motion 0 make the rate of interest three per ; ent. , and it was adopted by a vote of 32 to 92. The greenbackers all vot- d for the low rate of interest , aU hough they intended to vote against ho whole proposition. Finally , Mr. Sanford offered the allowing proviso to the first section , rhich was adopted : i Provided , That before any of the ends or notes authorized by tlrs net re issued it shall bo the duty of the scretary of the treasury to pay bonds BC ruing in 1881 with all the silver ollars of 412 grains , and all the old over and above S5CCO,009 , now eld in the treasury for redemption urposes. No quorum voted on the above reposition , but the point was not iade until it was too late. Mr. Wood gave notice that ho onld call for a vote in tha house by 33i and nays. Mr. McMillan , of Tenn. , offered an nendment providing for the taxa- 011 of bonds to be issued under the : t , but it was rejected yeas 67 , nays r. r.Mr. . Randall moved an amendment 1 strike out so much of the section i ruako the bonds redeemable in 40 jara. Also to atrike out the clanee ithorising the issue of treasury jtea , acd to make the amount of mds to be issued SC50OCOG03. is proposition was to make Ilia debt throe per cent , bond alone , and not me any treisurynotes. . Ho also Fered a proviso giving notice of the saation of interest on the six per nt. bonds to be refunded. Mr. Wood moved that tbo commit- 0 rise , which was carried , and the > use at 4 o'clock adjourned. SENATE. In the course of the morning busi- iss , Mr. Hoar addressed an inquiry Mr. Edmunds as to the probability the bill introduced by him , for tha stribution of the balance of the Gen- a award. Mr. Edmunds , not baing chairman the judiciary committee , could on- expreea his individual views , cut id the committee had devoted con- lerablo attention to tha bill , and ho lieved would labor diligently to ing the bill before the senate for us. tion. Mr. Davis , of W.

It can bo aufhoritively budonnced that a consolidation of the rival tele graph companies , the Westcrr Union , the Atlantic & Pacific , th < American tJnion , has at last been effected. The final arrangements were concluded this morning. The rnattei has been under consideration 'or sow. eral daya , but a completion of the necotiatlona was not efiected until to-day. The details oi tha consolidation have not bejn made known io ontside part es in fact , ne gotiations are now in progress to set tle the exact terms of th'e consolida tion. The market price of the stocks of each of the throa companies has advanced in consequence of the con summation of ihe negotiations for a pooling of their interests. It is understood that the comblna- ticn.of the telegraph companies was effected on the basis of eighty millions capital for the new company. The Western TJnion is to have 8 8,000- COO , the American Union S15COO- 000 , and the Atlantic & Pacific S7- OCO.OCO. The preasut capital of the Western tTnion h about $ -13,000- OCO , of the Ametican Union $15- OGO.CCO , and of the Atlantic & PaciSc S14,03DGOO. Thus it will bo seen that the Western Union geta u scrip iividcnd of 40 per cent , the American Onion gees in at par , and the Atlantic & Pacific i put npat fifty. It is un- leratood that this movement has been an ? neered throughout by Jay Sotild , who to-day o ns a vastly per- g control of the tilflro * " eyatoin of the country. A Legal Wih : Put Out.
