STATE OF BEATRICE , January 24 ,
1881. A terrific explosion of political
dynamite occurred in the opera house
at Lincoln January 22 , at 4 p. m. ,
' when on the seventeenth ballot Gen.
j 0. H. Van Wyck received 68 votes
, nd Paddock 36. It is supposed to
have beec the work of the nihilists ,
]
and was planned so secretly that the
victims had not the slightest iatima
tion of their dreadful fate.
Paddock himself was bliwn to atoms ,
and friends fished out of the debris
fragments of Harrington , Silvers ,
Parker , Bogga and a pair of forceps ,
npposed to have belonged t > Dr.
Franck. The coroner at first thought
of holding an inquest over these
pieces , but further reflection convin
ced him that there was not enough
[ eft of them.to justify the expense.
Some unimportant parts of S. V. S.
Saundera were picked up near "Boss"
Stout's hotel.
A small piece of flesh was picked
up near the Union Pacific depot , sup
posed to have belorged either to
3ere , of The Jourj.il , or John R.
Ulark , but it was impossible to de
termine which , as both are missing.
Hitchcock , in a good state of preser
vation considering , was found on a
eand bar in the Missouri river , near
Omaha , clutching an agreement in
writing from Paddock for another
rip rap contract. Jim Dawes wa
Found intact , but evidently scared to
death , otherwise unhurt. There was
a horrible look of remorse and agony
upon his face , caused , beyond doubt ,
iy his treachery to his old friends.
Joe Paddockwhen collected togeth
er , looked as if Red Cloud and Sitting
3ull had quarreled over him.
The fragments of Bill Morri , of
Crete , had to be hurried away uncer
emoniously.
The shock blew Thurston out of his
position of political manipulator for
, he Union Pacific.
But the most afiecting sight of all
was a leg which I found and instantly
recognized as a portion of the under
pinning of Gen. Joe. McDowell. It
iras an affecting sight. It had BO of
ten been seen in the front of Pad
dock's battles , and always victorious ,
[ t had become as celebrated aa the
white plume of Navarre. That
"game" leg never met defeat , and to
lear its unpretending and modest
owner tell the story , it never conld
mow defeat. But something wert
wrong and that marvelous leg , whicV
iad planned so many campaign * , and
from which Paddock had drawn GO
many lessons of wisdom , ceased t ?
perform its intellectual functions , and
the empire over which that leg had
BO long ruled , was shattered into
ruins.

OUR NEW SENATOR.
General Charles H. Van Wyck was
born in Middletown , Orange county ,
N. Y. , in 1825. He received an ex
cellent academical education , and was
graduated from Rutger's College , at
New Brunswick , N. J. , where he won
high honors as a brilliant student and
able debater. General Van Wyck
early obtained recognition In his na
tive state as possessing more than or
dinary qualifications for public life ,
and was twice elected to congress
from the Poughkeepsie district. At
the outbreak of the war he raised a
rugiment of volueteers , and entered
upon active service aa its first colonel.
He was later promoted to a brigadier
generalship , and was recalled from the
battle field to serve his constituents
for a third term on the floor of the na
tional congress. During his third
term General Van Wyck made an ox-
curaion to Nebraska , and purchased
his present farm In Otoe county. Re
turning , he was again re-elected as
congressman from the Poughkeepsie
district , when he gained the name of
the "third member from Nebraska , "
on account of his constant advocacy of
measures tending to the advancement
and development of oar state. Gen
era ! Van Wyck was known on tse
floor of congress as a bitter enemy of
the lobby , and a strong advocate of
legitimate schemes for internal im
provements , a ready debater , quick to
perceive Insidious schemes for private
plunder , a strong and unflinching sup
porter of republican principles , and a
conscientious attendant upon all de
bates Involving the strengthening of
the hands of the republican adminis
tration.
General Van Wyck moved to Ne
braska In 1871 , and has been a con
tinuous resident of the state for the
past ten years. Much of his at
tention has been devoted to his mag-
dificent farm of nearly 1000 acres near
Nebraska City , but he has taken a
strong interest in our state politics.
In 1875 he has a member of the con
stitutional convention. Since then he
has thrice bean called upon by the
people of Otoe county to serve their
interests in the etato senate , ot which
he ( s at present a member.
Personally , General Van Wyck is
almost too well known to our
people to need description G nial
and unpretending , he makes friends
eaiily , and retains them when
once made. He is a man of strong
convictions , and does not hesitate to
express them. Quick and nervous
in action , fluent and ready In speech ,
he is cool and self-possessed in the
most trying moments of debate , and
generally comes out master of the sit
uation. With his estimable and bril
liant wife , General Van Wyck will
doubtless be as great a social , as there
is every reason to believe he will
msko a political , success in Wasiog
ton.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON , Jannary 24 Mr.
Logan presented several memorials
from soldiers protesting against the
paaoage of tbo surgeon pension bill ,
and Messrs. Wallace aud Pendleton
petitions for the passage of the
Re igan inter-state commerce bill.
Mr. Garland , from the judiciary
committee , reported a substitute for
the bill providing for the distribution
of the Geneva award. Placed on the
calendar.
Mr. Pendleton gave notice that he
would cill up the bill appropriating
$500,000 for completing < nd publish
ing the tenth census. He also give
notice that on the following day he
would call up the bill for the relief of
Brigadier-General Armstrong. The
bill for the relief of Commodore Fairi
fax , U.S. N. , was also passed.
Mr. Logan then aaked unanimous
consent to take up and consider the
bill placing Gen. Grant on the retired
list.
list.Mr.
Mr. Vest , of Missouri , objected.
Mr. Logan then moved to lay aside
the present order and proceed with
the consideration of the bill.
Mr. Bayard suggested that it would
be better to allow memorials which
hud been presented to be considered.
Memorials-protesting against legisla
tion in favor of any individual , and
. asking that there should be a general
[ aw , giving to all men who had ever
occupied the great office of chief mag
istrate of the United States a pension
commensurate vri'h the high office
they had filled. He had no hesitation
In saying that in a popular govern
ment there should be some provision
against popular caprice.
Mr. Logan said he did not wleh to
discucs the subject of pensioning ex-
presidents in connection with this
bill , bnt as a recognition of the ser
vices of a great aoldier , where so many
caeca had been passed by the senate ,
the opposition t : > the bill looked more
like personal objection to it. He re
ferred to the action of England in its
expression of gratitude for Wellington
and Nelson , and asked if thia country
would do leas for one who was their
equal. Only a Week ago the senate
bad passed a bill , placing an officer
on the retired Hat higher than he
ever was in the army. A man was
retired lait year as a brigadier-gen
eral , and a man in Oregon , who has
resigned was made a colonel that he
might go on the retired Hat. He
might recite case after case , where bills
bad been passed without objection ,
merely because they were friends of
the other side , and not because of val
uable services. But when the friends
of the great ciptain of this nation
ask the same for him as has been
done for others , objection is made.
The people of the country said we
owe a debt which we can never pay ,
and It Is to the defenders of this re
public. When the name of a man of
all others to which this country Is in
debted , more than the millions of
gold in the treasury can pay , is pre
sented here , it was not with sub sti-
tutes. He deaired thia to be a recog
nition of the ex-president the great
leader of the loyal legions of the re
public. But a few days had gone by
since by a united vote the other side
sought to place on the retired list , with
the ( highest rank he ever held , not for
services ! , he would not say for disloyla-
tybut certainly It was , for he had been
tried by his peera In the army , and
dismissed for improper conduct ,
When he pressed the name of a man
against whom no word could be said ,
objection waa made. Future history
would record a refusal of this senate
to recognize the services of this man.
Mr. Hill , of Georgia , said hedld
not propose to be influenced In tha
slightest degree by any one on either
aide in hia vote on this proposition ,
He had not given as much consideri
atlon to this subjects he deaired to.
Theie had been three great epochs in
the history of this country. First , its
discovery and settlement ; second , the
achievement of its independence , and
the formation of the continental government -
ernment ; and third , what will be
known in history aa the revolution of
1861. That was a great revolution on
account of the great result B. He
would not speak of the motives of the
actors in it. In his judgement the' re
sults of the great revolution of 1861
were little less than the other two
epochs. He regarded General Grant
as the most remarkable man which
the events of the last revolution de-
veloped. In his judgement the re
sults of the last revolution would not
have been a success but for him.
There were men more responsible
for the events of that revolution ihan
General Grant. But whatever the
merits or demerits might be , he would
take his place in history as the great
man of the revolution of 1861.
What these erent * would justify him
In doing , when the bill came properly
before the senate , he was not prepar
ed to say. He considered the bill Im
portant because It related to the great
character of the revolution , but
should oppose Its present considera
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Vest announced his opposition
to the bill on its merits. He had the
greatest admiration for the military
skill of Gen. Grant and had for him
personally the kindest feelings. The
southern people had always had for
him the kindest feeling and when , at
Appomattox , he handed back to
another great soldier , Robert E. Lee ,
hia stainless sword , the southern heait
went up in gratitude. They had man
ifested their gratitude on other oc
casions when he entered the arena of
partisan politics. He ( Vest ) held for
one , that , having risked everything
on the hazard of the die , he should
abide the result. The republican side
now wasted them to take care of
their dead and wounded. He had
gone into the fight at Chicago and
been killed off. The funeral obse
quies belonged to the other aide.
Their side had enough of their own
wonnded and dead to take care of.
[ Laughter. ]
Mr. Logan said he was sorry any
senator should attribute a proposition
of this kind to political reasons. He
had based it wholly on the eminent
military services of Gen. jSrant. So
far as the killed and wounded were
concerned the senator from Missouri
could apply a portion of his remarks
elsewhere. He said that ascertain of
ficer at Baltimore , at an early part of
the war resigned his commission in
the army and took no part la the war ,
retiring to civil life. When a major
ity of his friends were on this floor ,
he was put on the retired _ Hst as a
colonel. This case was one in forty.
He was not put on the retired list for
his services In the war for the reason
that he did not engage ID it. What
the reasons were , he would leave the
country to judge. The precedent had
been established in many'cases. He
said if this measure was refused to
Gen. Grant , history would record that
it WAS refused because of partisan
prejudice.
Mr. Butler said he did not think
there was the sllghtesl ustiScation
for the choigo that those who'Jirot
at once vote to takejup this bill , to the
exclusion of all other business , were
prejudiced. He did not Intend to
be dragooned into voting for or against
this bill by any one. He should vote
against taking it up at thia time with
out expressing any opinion as to the
bill. He had no prejudices against
Gen. Grant. No man would go far
ther than'himself to do him justice.
If injustice had been done him before ,
he could vote for the bill , but there
mast be a reason given for it. He had
heard none yet.
A vote waa then taken on the mo
tion i of Mr. Logan , aud was rejected ,
yeas 25 , nays 29.
The bill allotting lands in severalty
to Indians then came up as unfinished
bnsneBand ! , was discussed by Messrs ,
Vest , Dawes , Hoar , Coke , Morgan
and Brown , until 4 o'clock , when
without action on the bill , the senate ,
on motion of Mr. Ingalla , went into
executive session , and when the doors
were opened , adjourned.
