NfcBKASKJ. CITY , .TnuiryT2& On
the morning of the 23d of Septembert
18G3 , I first set foot on Nebraska fid
Biitern miles below this town. I had
come up the Missouri in the steamer
Emily from St. Joseph , then the near *
est railroad point t3 Omaha. After
ivo-days paddling through the Big
faddy we grounded on a Band-bar ,
whore , after waiting two days , I was
eicued by a team sent from Nebraska
Oity , by order of Mr. W. B. Hibbard ,
ssistant division superintendent of
he then Pacific telegraph. At the
Ime I landed in ' 63 , this was a bust
ing busy little city , contiinia about
he same population as Omaha and re
garded by many as the foremost rival
o the present Nebraska metropolis
? en years later , on my second visit , I
ound Nebraska City s dly demoral-
zed by the loss of the overland trade ,
which had formerly becu the mainstay
f her merchants aud hud been entire-
y cut off by the construction of the
Tnion Pacific. The town on my last
visit in 1873 had a cilapidued ap-
> earanco , very much Ilka snmo of the
Id Virginia towns at tha close of the
war. I was much gratified on land-
n. here again to day to note a marked
mprovement. Although Nebraska
Jity has not kept pace with Omaha
and Lincoln in growth , she is a solid
hriving town and has every prospect
of becoming an important trade con-
re in the near future. Otoe county
one of the moat densely populated
and best cultivated counties in
Nebraska and the farmer ) ' trade af-
'ord Nebraska Ci y merchants a
steady and lucrative source of profit.
There is aho considerably manufac
turing done here now , and just as
soon as the short link between Ne
braska City and Plattsmonth is completed - ,
pleted , and direct railway communi
cation is eitubliahtd batwoen O'nnba
aud Southern Nebr.isVa , the mills of
this place will afford an abundant sup
ply of excellent flour for Omahi , and
the orchards of 0oo will supply her
market wuh luscious fruit of every
variety.
Through the kindness of myl'rienJ ,
Postmaster Paul Schminko , I made
the acquaintance of mauy prominent
business and professional men of
Nebraska Oity , and renewed some of
the old acquaintances I had made years
ago in the legislature * The old ri
valry between Omaha and Nebraska
3hy balng a thing of the past , every
body I met seemed anxious for the
early completion of the trunk line and
closer cimmerciftl intercourse with
Omahb. In my rambles through the
city I found almpst universal gratifica
tion expressed over the election of
Gen. Van Wyck. The general and
his estimable lady are very popular ,
and with the exception of half a dozen
menwhose lofty aspirations are some
what checked by the general's elec
tion , all seem to rejoice over the selec
tion made by the legislature , and on
every hand the event is regarded as
the forerunner of great things for
Nebraska City.
While talking over old times with
Dr. Bo wen , who played a very promi
nent part in the early political history
of Nebraska , the doctor Informed me
that he was the first man that put the
cenatorial bee into Gen. Van Wyck's
bonnet It was way back several
years before the war , when plain M < s
ter Van Wyck came on a stumping
tour for the "free soil whi s" to the
sparsely settled territory of Nebraska.
' If you will come out here , take up
a land claim and settk ( with us , we
will make yon United States senator
some of these dy"said Dr. Bnwcn
to Mr. Van "Wyck , little dreaming
that his proposal would be accepted ,
and in the course of human events
his extravagant promise realized.
There was cons.derable stir and
bustle all day in preparing for the re
ception tendered to General and Mrs.
Van Wyck by the citizens of Otoe
county , an event which seemed to
create a good deal of commotion among
upper and lower tendom. The im
pression had gone forth that this waste
to be an aristocratic affair , and the
committee of arrangements found it
necestary to issue a manifesto in the
afternoon paper , aseuriug the people
that this was no swallow tail coat dres
parade , and that white-chokers and
kid cloves wore not essential for those
who desired to take pirt in the ova
tion. Central hotel , where the re
ceptiou took place , was jammed full
of people by 8 o'clock , many of them
sturdy , horny-fisted farmers from the
neighborhood , who wanted to eh ke a
live senator by the hand , and give ex
pression to their joy over the general's
election. All tne best and most infl
ential citizens , accompanied by theit
ladies , were also on hand , some oi
them in very tony toilets. Many dis
tinguished Nrbr&skans from v&riout
parts of. the state hd come to attend
the reception. Among these were
Ex-Grov. Fnrnas , ex Congressman MV
jors , Attorney-General Dilworth , Re *
Kent C&reon , of the University , unc
quite a number of members of the leg-
ulaturt > , from both houses. A special
train with 138 citizens of Nemaha
county , came in daring the evening
from Brownville.
1'he committee of arrangements ,
consisting of Wm. E Hill , chairman ,
P ul Schminke , Anton Zimmprcr , J.
W. WhldemUb , Dr. Campbell and I.
A. Flemming , had m&do ample pre
parations for the event ; and the re
ception committee , composed ol
Mr. and Mrs. Senator H. F.
Cady , Representatives Ransom , Dr ,
N. B. Larah , J. W. Pearman , Davlc
Brown , 0. W. Seymour and Jamas W ,
Reed , were in attendance to provide
for the proper reception of tha quests. "
At abnut 8 o'clock Gen. and Mrs.
Van Wyck arrived at the hotel from
their residence in the country , and
were greeted by the Heltcan brass
band , who played "Hailto the Chief. "
The reception committee attended the
senatorial party to the parlnrs , aud in
a very short time the doors were
opened , and the reception proper bo
gan. The ladies and their gentle
men escorts passed through the parlor
first , and as ech couple came for
ward Hon. John 0. Watson presented
them to Senator Van Wyck , who in
turn introduced his wife , who stood
on his left For over an hour the
steady stream of humanity pissed
through the parlor , ard for each the
general and his lady had some kinder
or p'eaeant ' word. Mrs. Von Wyck ,
a lady whose charming manners h ive
won the hearts of everybody who has
met her , wa onore than ever radiant ,
la one hand she hejd au exquisite bo-
q-iet ( < f choice flowers , which get off
hurelegint toilet and rendered her ex
tremely fascina ing. At the conclu
sion ot the hand-shaking General and
Mrs. Van Wycfc repaired to the large"
hall , which had been decorate ! with
a monstrous national flagupon which
w s inscribed : "Charu.8 H Van
Wyck , United States Senator. " After
mounting the platform erected f jr the
speaker * , Hon. J. C. Watson intro
duced Judge J. F. Kmnoy , who de
livered the address of we'cimo
After complimenting the Otoe delega
tion npon their steadfast support of
the general , Judge Kmnev pidan el
oquent tribute to Hon Joseph Holl-

ing the crisii , when the fl 'P iras being

Kmnoy , aaid :
"Your elec'ion as senator is not the
result of any accident or mere good
fortuue. It was secured , first by the
efforts of the delegation from this
couutry , supplemented by the support
of a lirge number of leading men of
both the political parties ; eecnnd , it
was confidently believed by those who
voted for you that none of the candi
dates had more ability or could be
more useful in the national senate in
the advancing of > ho welfare of thie
jta'o than yourself ; third , npon all
leading state questions of internal poli
cy you had become fully identified wl h
the people aud in full sympathy with
their interests ; fourth , your public life
was a guarantee to the men wheel
el ctoi you that you were no trimmer ,
bui a man of positive convictions with
cour.'ge to contest and maintain them ;
fi th , your acknowledged popularity at
home , where I am bold to say you
have won the full confidence of the
people , and where you have always
been elected when a cindidate ; sixth ,
a brilliant record in the army as hh is
and will be , other things being equal ,
a performance for the other over the
civilian
While yon , sir , and Senator Saunders -
ers sre in the senate the outlook for
our atnte is indeed promising In per
feet accord with your brother senator
may not all cherish the hope that
your senator ! 1 life will reflect honor
npon those who elected you and add
additional lustre to the fair fame of
the utate WB so much adnine.
General Van Wyck m de the follow
ing response :
"For this renewed greeting accept
my hoartful thanks. However de
voted I may be to your interest and
the interest of Nebraska , I t ever can
discharge the obligation Imposed by
my election to the highest position In
your gift.
Grateful as I mast be to a generous
an.l confiding psople In the state , yet
to the people of the county of Otos
and Nebraska City , am I indebted ba-
yund measure in making it possible
that a citizen of their own county
could receive this distinguished honor.
From the day of my election to the
constitutional convention until now it
has been cause for pride that although
an ardent republican , I have been
supported , aud several times elected ,
by democratic votes. And In this , the
greatest and latest triumph , this
which Is your triumph as well as mine ,
in the decisive moment , when , by cer
tain well-laid shemo % victory was
nearing Senator Paddock's banner , a
grand democrat , one of | 'the noblest
Rnmana of them all , ' General Hull
man , of Dakota , the bosom friend of
Judge Kiuney , sprang into the breach
br changing his vote from Judge
Dandy to the candidate of Otoe
cointy , sUid the tide , which resulted
in the victory over which we are re
joicing to-night.
It is a matter of mutual congratula
tions that in this election there are no
entangling alliances , no p'edges ex
cept th' so implied in generous grati
tude , so that in the transfer from the
senate chamber of Nebraska to the
senate chamber of the United S ates ,
and entering upjn that higher field of
duty , that all species of property , all
classes , all sections may be alike re
spected ; that no one interest shall be
promoted at the sacrifice of others ,
but in the spirit of justice and fair
play , the right of all mny be conserv
ed , believing the anatomy of the body
politic , like the human body , teaches
that tt is to the injury of all the mem-
burs that one should thrive at the ex
pense of the many , and that no limit
cm be injured without a shock to the
entire body.
Among the youngest , we are by no
means the leaat of the states , having
already left our position at the foot oi
the list and passed several of the old
er sisters. When other decades shall
have gone , with the impulse of out
bound wo will have movedstill further
upward and on ward.
If it be true that "things produce
vrhat they contain , " who dare prophe
sy where the state will be in 1890 and
then In 1900 ?
Human desliny seems independent
of and above human control , some
thing beyoud ourselves givc-s it , firs !
life , then extension. Among statei
and nations how many more oi
wrecks would have desolated th <
shore of time if there were not ii
human crisis 'something even strongei
than the men who appear to give
them the will of the event itself be
yond that an overruling , impelling
porer.
A few years ago the dark shadow o
human tlavery , moved by human
hands in blood and gloom , was near'
ing the border of this fair land ; the
avenger met and bade it back , so tha
to day , by river course and oper
prairie , the SUP. in his course gladden :
only the homes of freemen.
Thus everywhere on the pathway ol
nations how often have the peopl <
'bullded better than they knew. '
The great strength of this republii
is m the source of all power the pee
pie. The legislature and congress wll
be wise and great as the people by ed
ucatlon and thought may themselves
bo wise and great. The stream will
seldom rise beyond itt source.
In the generous rivalry with older
states we are not handicapped with the
Weight of old traditions and abmes or
the scars of excresences removed ,
but as a young giant with clean limbs ,
.we wnter the race. In a measure we
can help to make it as we will it If
we ksep cloae to truth , right and
charity , then hope will come 'as our
guiding star , and success beyond hu
man calculation will be ours.
Poets tell us tint the clouds assume
the form of the country over which
they pass , so men will sometimes
move themselves upon the epoch and
event over which they pass. Wash
ington did not create the revolution
he was not its inspiration he only rep
resented and was inspired by it.
May we not hupa that human
thought , as it passes over and
abova this grind countryof -tho
west be impressed by 'it ? grandeur of
river and prairie , its greater grandeur
of fertility and proeuctioa ba im-
urcued by convictions and hope * of
acquiring something of their shapes
and move with them into-plana and
policies for the future May we in
dulge the hope if not the realization. "

LONDON , January 29 1 a. m.
A dispatch from Durban says that

and the colonials under Gen. Colley.
begun to day. The fire of the artif.
lory was distinctly heard tt a telegraph
station , which is within four miles of
the Eceno of action. The struggle is
supposed to ba between Gen Oclley
and nn advanced force of the Boew ,
which ho u-tt't have met or overtaken
after taking Mount P sppct. Tte
wrather is improving , and it is undur-
etood that Gen C 'Hey wdl push oper
ations On account of their recent
defeats and lo-aes the Boera ro said
to be much disheartened
THE BOERS REINFORCED.
The Boers have received reinforce
ments from Heidelberg , and it is
thought nny yet be able to make
some serious resistance to the mtrch
of the colonials through the Trans
vaal.
GENERAL COLLEY CONFIDENT.
Later intelligence from the scene of
yesterday's battle says the firing on
the part of the Boers has almost
ceased , and that General Colley is
confident of a decided success.
Should this prove true , he will li.ive
before him the task of relieving Pre
toria , Standator , Potchefstrom and
.JWeesulstrom , which are closely in
vested by the Boers , before the bulk
of hia work will be over. Gen.
Colley is understood now to
admit the genuineness of the letter
sent by him to Cape Town aathoritiaa
before the present war began , advis
ing the military occupation of the
Transvaal , which letter fell into the
hands of the Boers , atd was published
by them in Dutch , as a justification ol
their rising , but Bays it was so mutila
ted in translation that Its true sense
was destroyed.
THE BRITISH SUSTAIN DEFEAT.
Last evening Hon. Hugh Childers ,
secretary of state for war , said in re
ply to a question concerning the re
ported butle yesterday , between the
colonial force , under Gen. Colley , and
the Boers , that the government wat
in receipt of later intelligence which
somewhat altered the aspect of affairs.
It is asserted in the morning dispatches ,
he said , th-U an attack had buen made
by Gun. Colley upon a pass within the
Transvaal border , which has been re
pulsed. The number of casnaltiei
was as yet unknown , but they wert
reported to be very heavy.
1ATER CONFIRMATION.
Gen. Colloy's repulse is fully con
firmed by still later dispatches.
He is now busy entrenching hia camp
three miles from Laiugsnak , and wil'
there wait reinforcements. The
Fifty-sixth re iment suffered severely ,
and had it not been that the artillerj
fire irorn the colonial batteries fright
ened the Boers' horses , Ge.i. Colley'i
losses would have been still greater
Much excitement prevails here ovei
the news , and many people profess t (
see In It a sort of prophecy of dis * 9tei
to English arms and interests every
where.
A dispatch from Durban says thai
an officer just in from the front re
ports that the British troops' left win )
rested within six relies of the enemj'j
position. Gen. Colley then movoc
to the right with the Fifty-eight !
regiment and the fighting naval brig
ade , and the royal artillery with cav
airy In the rear dismounted. Th <
Fifty-eighth stormed the Boers' posi
tion. The Boers then opened fir- -
on the Fifty-eighth , and the latter re
pulsed them. The Boors were strong
ly reinforced , and gave a terrible fire
when the fighting became general
with desparate losses on both sides.

A defalcation in' * the Ddtroit s'

the brothers of a pastor of one of the
Episcopal churches , and have not
squandered the money in riotous liv

for too many relatives. A big effort
has been mtde to hu h the matter no ,
it first being given out that the young
