THE appointment of Mr. Perceval Lowell , now assistant gononil mana ger of the Burlington & Missouri river railroad , to the position of general passenger and ticket agent of the C.

The only cause for regret will l > e found in the fact that his acccpt- " " ance of the position will remove from Omaha ono.of the most courteous and competent railroad officials in the West. Mr. Lowell's advancement in railroad life baa ln:3n rapid. lie first came West in 1870 to accept a position in the of fices of the old Burlington it Missouri railroad in Iowa then located at Bur lington.

The pledge upon which ho received these v < express or implied was made , smd had retfpoct enough , for Jlhe new sen ator's integrity and'hbnor to feel con fident that ho never would violate that pledge. We claimed sis much , and THE BEE denounced us as a hypo crite and ridiculed us as a gusher. But , sis the years' liave passed , all that wi predicted and expected has come t < pass. And it is to-day the'eiWiexi ) and not THE BKE which is consistent. It is THE BEE and not the wliich is inconsistent. We of to-dsij commend Senator Saunders as the consistent and tiiilightod friend of the railroads sis well as of the people ; Tin BEE to-day denounces him as the creat ure of the railroads smd the enemy < > i the people. The senatorial campaign of 1S7 ( was fought and wjni by what wsis thei known sis the anti-Hitchcock elemen : of the republican party. That elemen represented a very large majority oi the rank and file of the republicat party in the state. The distinctive issues in 1S7C were , first , a thorougl and radical reform in , the federal ser vice , the breaking up of corrupt surveying voying rings smd the expulsion fron office of notoriously dishonest politica barnacles whom Mr. Hitchcock ha foisted inlo ollico ; second , opposi lion to the domination- Jsij Gould and the Union Psicific railroat company in Nebraska politics. Mr Hitchcock was supported by all tb influence at the command of theUnioi Pacific , and his chief orgsii the Omaha Rejyitblican , fought the battle for him against the ai\ti-moiiop ely candidates , who were then knowi sis the "senatorial quadrilateral' ' , and simong whom Governor Saunders was very prominent. During that memor able campaign Mr. Saunders made public speeches in Omaha smd elsewhere - whore , denouncing the Union Pacific railroad for undertaking to force Mr. Hitchcock upon the State sigainst tin. people's will , . and in one-of those speeches , delivered sit the Academy ol Mimic in this city , ho administered public reprimand to Datus Brooks for the disreputable coin-so which he , as the -organist of the Union Pacific was pursuing to ward him and other anti-Hitchcock candidates , \\1ion the legislature met , the lines between the Union Psicific nnd those opposed to "its domimition were closely drawn , and when some of the radical anti-monopolists expressed si desire for Mr. Saunders to define Ilis position on the monopoly question lie gave them the most positive assur- inces that if elected he would stand upon the game platform throughout upon which the campaign wsis fought. Upon these pledges Mr. Saumlors was finally nominated Jn the sinti- Hitchcock emeus' and.received the unanimous support of all the antimonopoly - monopoly members of the legislsituro. Without these pledges Mr. Saunders could not have commanded si corpor- al'n guard. The pro rsita question had no bearing upon that campaign , smd in proof we need only point to the fact that of the forty-six aiiti- Hitchcock members thirty-five at least lived.south of tho.Plattc . and voted for Sauhdcrs. If the question of pro ratsi had entered into this cam paign arid Mr. Saunders had sided with the Union Pacific , he could never have rallied these men to his support. It is true that immediately after the election , the Rrpub- / ! < < ( > ( , in order to cover the ignominious defeat of the U. P. cap pers and henchmen , set up a frholous claim of a partial'victory on the specious .plea * that Mr.-Paundors was - < * ; ] elected1"iir'partvby "the help of the Union Pacific. At that period and for more than four years Senator Saunders lists steadily denied all the allegations Uuit represented him as making a bargsiin witli tlio Union Pacific. At his request , Tin : BEE hsis repeatedly denounced these charges sis groundlesss and filse. : If sill these de- nisils and sill the disclaimers of Senator Sauudera were the makeshift of i cor rupt craven , if'after all it should prove true that Senator Saunders did make a liargain with the Union Pacific railroad for votes in exchange" for his support , then ho is ono of the most unmitigat ed scoundrels that has ever figured in the political history of Nebraska. He is an apostate to the principles which ho. professed to'advocate and a traitor to'tho men who' staked . .their political fortunes , smd nismyof them their lives , in the desperate contest with the giant monopoly. If all that the Republican now claims shall be continued , Alvini Saundcrs will grace a political gthltot twenty months hence that will forever prove a warning to unprinci pled traitors and renegades. The time has come when Mr. Ssum- dew -must cither - - plead guilt- or clear his skirts of tliis alleged infamy. Whether he is a candidate for re-election or not ho owes it to the people of this.'btite to make -a clean breast * of the whole business. His recent love fesist with the Union Pacific orgsin grinders might only betaken taken jiSjanindicationjbf senile 'weak- "licss with whfcliHis enbiiics have al- \ wsiys taunted him. Tlie fact is , and we announce it with borrow , that the lias some tangible grounds to stand on wheii it .declares that durc , < * " " * r " * V % iiigJiis four , years rcfiordjhe has been a as consistenfSnd enlightened friend of the inonopolfes. Duniig all these lour years ho has not lifted hi voice in defense of the people of' this state of as ayainst' the monopolies , nor has he endeavored ' reflros-i : ' a 'single griev ance or put a slop to a single abuse from which tlus people liave suil'ered In at the" liancls of the monopolies. All the appeals oftho men to whom he owes his political advancement have boon fruitless , itiid all the pledges he has made to theni , timu and again , to take vigorous action as an exponent of tlio principles . \vhich.hc avowed before lie was elected senator , have been broken. ' , a " \Vhen the Jtcpitblican says thairthc BEE has denounced. Senator Saunders - dors as "tho creature of the riih'oads hnd the en wiiiy-of the i > eople" states a brazen falsehood and we defy that paper to cite a single line from THE BEE to confirm the asstri lion. But if the Republican , which now pretends lo voice the sentiments of the senator , has uncovered the true inwardness of Senator Saunder's in explicable inactivity as regards the issue between the railroads and the people then wo shall not hesitsito. to denounce him and execrate him aa a traitor to the people , a tool of the monopolies and a consummate hypo crite. FIQHTINQ WINDMILLS. Some days ago Senator Saunders addressed a letter to his "dear frieiu' Brooks , " expressing profound grati tude to that ralliant battle sixo of .stal- wartism for his gallant defense of the senatorial "Don Quixottes" who for the last two months have been fight ing windmills at the national capital. . By special request we present a more elaborate smd forcible defense of the dead-lock from ono of the senator's intimate associates , over tlio name o .Tunius. It will be borne in mind that this paper sit the outset of the dead-lock expressed emphatic disapproval of the course pursued by the senate , and -we. predicted that the republican partas represented in the senate of the United States was making a recoil for itself which it some day may have cause lo regret. Our views of the dead-lock , as expressed in Tun DAIL\ BEK of March Sfith , have undergone no change , and the outcome has al- resuly. verified our prediction. Al though "Jimius" ' has made the grati fying observation that as the full sig of dead-lock understood niftcance the - is stood , the pi-ess and the people of the country sustain the cause of the Ke publican Senators , wo have failei to observe any such sentiment. The leading republican papers o the country , with few exceptions , hoh substantially the same views tha were expressed by Tin : Bii : : , namely that this pretended contest in defensi of great questions of parliamentsir } law is nothing more nor less than s kittle of windmills. All this tall about fighting over the great battles of the rebellion is the most unmiti gated losh. Parliamentary majorities in ever } country governed by such law-making sissemblics are composed of a numbei greater than one-half of the whole number of the members constituting such a body. The whole number of members in the senate of the United Stsitcs i. ' seventy-six , hence a constitutional majority must command sit least thirty- nine persons professing the same poli tical fsiith. In the present senate there are thirty-seven republi cans , thirty-eight democrats ami one independent greonbacker , who acts with the democtats. When Senator Mahono voles with the repub Scans tlio senate becomes a tie. when the senate is tied on any ques- : ion the vice-president has the casting vote. Such a combination doe's give .he republicans an artificial majority , jut it is a majority that cannot justly claim to exercise prerogatives that are conceded to political majorities made ip of party associates professing the i lame political faith. Senator Mahonc may some d.u * be come a republican , but so fair ho has steadily proclaimed , in and out of the i ' -enate , that he is a better demo- crat than Ben Hill. Until he t i.-is abjured the democratic faith , t ind Ixjcoiiifrt an out and out republi s can he cannot be classed among rfmib- ican senators. But what high principle have the senatorial windmills established by calling each other bad names , making : : aces at each other and talking about lead and buried issues ? What prin ciple is there involved in the attempt . to substitute lliddleborgcr , an ex-rebel Virginia democrat , for Bright , the In- liana democrat of scrgeant-nt-arms as s1- - - the the senate ? What will the republican party g.iin by the election of George Gorham , who is is notoriously a member of the Bmdy-Dorsey ring , to the secretary ship of the senate ? Suppose the senatorial windmills should actually succeed in splitting the solid south by a coalition with spoils hunting ex-rebels and southern debt rcpudiators , will they not split : hc solid north by such com- linations and lose a good leal more in the loyal north hat they can possibly g.iin in the dis- oyal South ? For our part we still condemn the dead-lock sis. a stupid ( hinder , and wo do not hesitate to ex- > ress the opinion that the old wind- uills had better adjourn and go hbino ust as soon sis they are through with he business for which the president ias convened them in extra session. The Future Wheat Supply , N"c Yori Tribune. ' It is not improbable that this year nay bring the competition between \merican and European farmers to a crisis. When crops are bad abroad i ind abmidantJiore , as in 1S780 ! > , the ( ( reign producer may console himself ( vith the thought that the circumstan- es are exceptional. Expecting theme o improve , lie is not likely to abaii- s loii the. effort to grow wheat. In 8SO-81 , also , though crops were tol- rably good in England and France , . hey were so bad in llussia and por- ions of Germany , and the demand for he replenishment of exhausted stores vas so great , that the cit-ouiii tances vero still exceptional. It is not sup- Kihed that fanners abroad have di- ninished the acreage sown , and bore is no reason : ts yet to doubt that r > nil siverace crops may reward their exertions. But the prospect now is hat the acreage sown in this country ill bis greatly increased. Oregon and California promise quormous crops , and have on hand , moreover , an im mense surplus from 'last year. The winter wheat status of the west , ac cording to the latest report. ! , have fair reason to expect a yield nearly or quite great as that of last year. If the season permits the planting and ripening of a fair crop of spring wheat > also and in spite of the gloomly talk some speculators , there is nothing yet to warrant a different expecta- cilion this country wH ave more nr than 200,000,000 bushels of wiioat t" sell , while the deficiency in Europe may be iiuc } | Jess than that quantity. that event the weakest will go to the wall. Distance is the only element of ! if weakness in the position of American producers. Tlio statements of cost of [ production , which were given in the report ni tljo HritM ; "Agricultural [ Intel ests Cnmmibsiim" jn 1680 , have not been disputed as being too low , and it lias leen franklj- admitted in England tkit grain produced at such cot. and traneiviitml at thp I7\to io then In force , could be sold in English i towns at a profit for less than the Kiro cost of ( Bowing wheat on English ts farms. 15 ut in Uiese calculations , the average coat of producing jn tlie far west wjts estimated at S-l cents per > bushel , and a vast nuantity of wheat is i raised" in tins-country at a , lowc'r cost. The averagecost of tranSrwrtationlo Liverpool , exclusive of 3J- cents for liaiidling in tliis coun try and 15 ] cents for Liverpool chaises was put at 50 cents ycr bushel , viz. : 20 cents from the farm to Chicago , lei cents thence to New York , smd 14 ? cents from New York to Liver pool" ' The charges now , though navi gation ia not yet open , arc 15 cents from St. Paul to Chicago , 18 cents from Chicago to New York , and loss than 10 cents from Now York to Liv erpool. KEvcii , this low jrate will bo greatly reduced whenever it becomes necessary ju .order to secure si market for the "s'tifplus grain of the fsir west. Indeed , even now grain is being movei from-St. Louis and St. Paul to Liver p-jol at lens cost than from the Misses sippi river to New York. A single tug has just tsikon 0,10 ( tons of grain from St. Louis in " barges on the way to Now Orleans. "With ai ordinary stage of water the charge ii said to be f cents si bushel from St , Loui.s and 15 cents from St. Paul , "Much more than half the grain export ed crosses the Mississippi river. The sictuil cost of transportation by barge is said to be little moie than half tin Kites now charged , so that , if it Avert , necessarv in older to secure : i marke ; abroad , moie than 100,000,000bushels of grain could be moved down the river for less thsin five cents per bushe from St. Louis. Hitherto lack of fa cilities and of shipping at New Or leans hsis restricted the movement , But charters have actually been made in this city within the past week for vessels to take grain from New Orleans to Liverpool at sixpence , or twelve cents per bushel. If surplus grain is moved even now for not more than 17 cents per bushe from St. Louis to Liverpool , whereas the present cost by rail from St. Louis to Now Yoik is about " 0 cents , the British farmer has not yet felt the fill force of American competition. Fron St. Paul to Liverpool the present rate is 27 cents , whereas the rate by rai from St. Paul to New York is liU cents per bushel. The river route , thougl not enough used now to influence rail road rates materially , as the.se quota tions show , is liable to bo very largelj used whenever the possibility of sell ing 200,000,000 bushels of wheat fron the northwest depends upon the cost of transportation thence to Liver pool. Thence it will doubtless bt found that grain can be moved fron Minnesota to Liverpool for less thai half the cost of transportation sillowet by the British commission. Tu short the British farmer , who acknowledge ! that he could not hope to compet with American grain costing in Eng landless than $1.4o yer bushel , ma } find that he is obliged to sell his owi grain than 81-18 per bushel in orde to keep the home market for himself It i.s not necessary to say thlfc : one sea son of such competition would put s stop to whcat-jjrowing on a greai many farms in ngli\ml , A DEFENSE OF THE DEAD-LOCK. CVnri > i } mU.'ni-t ! of TIIK lltr. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Msiy f > . It i : gratifying to observe that as the fill significance of the "dead-lock" h un derstood , the picss and the people o the country sustain the course of the Republican sonatina. It is not a contest for a.few oflices on the part of the llepuhlicsins. The motives of their conduct are immea surably higher. They BOO involved ; great question of parliamentary law , smd the keystone of our form of gov ernment. 1'or two yesirs they have done without the oflices and could en- iltirc' six months more of deprivation , but they could not hiibuiit to ; v wrong not against themselves so much at igainst the whole political system of ; ho United St'itos. At the commencement of this spec ial : session , tlie doitiocivita acknow IiI' ledged the republican majority , and I' [ leriuitted ' , without opposition , the re organization of the e-oinmittees. In the constitution of these , the republi cans showed their usual magnanimity , mil IK it only trave tlie democrats the ' three : committees always coiiuodiid to the ; minority , but added to them three special committees. As soon as it was sI1 [ imposed to complete the reorganiai- of the senate by the election of republican iilliuer * , tlje democrats re solved to resist the change to tlie last , md by dilatory motions to preserve Jiehr hold on the senate patronage till ho next regular se&sfem , if not longer. I'lio tt-\bU3U for tliis was that Mr. Malone - lone was not elected a , repijWjean , .hat the republicans had no right to lis vote , and ; is that vote gave them Jio majority , it w sis not a fairly con- ituted nor fairly acquired majority. So after acknowledging the majority n the coso of tlio committees they leny it in the case of the officers and challenge the republicans to a long and lesperate contlict. If nothing els-j was contemplated by he republicans than giving moral sup- ( ort to. Ml' . Mahonc , the "deadlock' ' vould be woithall jt ] jis : stud may cost. This gentleman , if acting In oed faith , and there is nu reason for a ioubtto the contrary , ha.donu line of ho most gallant and daring things iiiown t < i those cowardly smd time serving daj-s. Convinced that demo cratic rule in the south meant ruin , ind that iiotjiiijtj but the republican doctrines smd practices , uppljul bj that section , would , restore harmony and irosperity , ho has said so and taken lis place witli republicans , to vote and let wjth them whenever ho believes heir policy beat fop the general wel- are. For this the democrats loured upon him from day to day , suiieenlrated hatred smd msilice , ox- 411 infamous insinuations , bru- al sneers , oitlotis Conipuiisijiig , sind leniinciations whicli are al- nest curses. They have only icsitated in their devilish treatment if him at the point where they might , 'or theiiwunl'Oisivc to run the gaunt- et of deatli. At that point these cowsutls turn and sneak back , like volVes ballled of their prey. To such ' man , hunto ] and driven with mur- lerous instincts ami longings Ijy { he oiirbons , the moral support of tlio republican party is due. Should Mr. Milumu ; ho ctistaiiUMl ; sui < ] defended it believed that thousands of others in lie south will follow his example , and bus break up the infamous .system if .hat compels a solid south. To sikin- lon Mr. Mahono would not only bo despicable in the extreme , but post- ' wine the overthrow of the sit tljo .south for an jncjefi. lite tme to cune. But ono of the main reasons for continuing the "dead lock1 and ono > f the benefits to follow , is the vindi cation of the doctrine that the majari- y shall rule. This principle is the is ceystoue of oir n.nlitjnal system. Deny it , ignore it , and confusion and uisrulo would usurp ihc plaeoof peace ami order from the primary to the su- ire-nie coujf. Tlio cmn b i-f tli | 11 111- icnita now , i precisely sjiuilar to that 13- which they suid tltcir allies precjpi- ated the war of the Rebellion. Jt i * hsMmejiyht over ayuln. The moral to entiment of the best , and the force ih f numbers were against them. They vero in a , minority as hey are now , but they vould not submit. They would wile i-uin , and on came the war with its rewcndnus loss of property smd life. Ihoy see that thesuccusa " ! the \v- \ iiiblican * ami the countenance and aid to Mr. MaJione would thrill throughout the & < Jubilee , and again' they"will""ex - liaust every expedient in order to , wsipono their coming defeat. The v republicans complstin that in so doing ho minority is revolutjoiwry. riml rerglng un treason. That , to all 'in tents smd purposes , a majority , how ever s.mall , is entitled to the .submis sion of the minority , - and.tV y in : in if to t lO ! | question whether minority can'by " by "tilljbuster- iug" deprive the majority of legitimate powers and iilock the vheels of government. As thus tated , the question becomes one of nrliamenlary'l\w : of the first im- joiianco , its detcniunatiou alfoctij tlc } integrity- our republican form of government and it is a matter not of offices , or temporary supremacy , but of principle. When , make an issue a matter of principle , they cannot back down , but , if needs be , must face th pillory and the stake. The republicans liave'so ranked this question smd can ; riot abandon their position without proving both cowards and hypocrites. Another good result of the "dead lock" is the knowledge gained of the actual condition of the South under Botirlion rule. Hints we had of it glimpses of scenes of dark and dread ful importindistinct cries floated up to us , sis of humanity suHering outrage and martyrdom , but they came in newspapers whose veracity was denied - nied , , smd who then was to determine between some local sheet smd the high toned , honorable defenders of the Solid South. Now , however , the whole story is out spoken in the sen ate chamber , attested by the silence and confusion of the Bourbons , dif fused by the press , and perjKituated in the annals of congress. The political condition of the unhappy South un der the despotism of the Bourbon rulers is without a parallel in any civi lized government in the world and calls a blush of indignation and shame to every patriotic cheek. Yes ! the sad stories are till true ! the glimpses did not reveal oiic-thoussindth part of the dread condition , the cries were the stilled cries of men smd women sutler- ing and dying for liberty. It is now known in the elfort that to maintain ; i solid south , laws has been violated , elections have been corrupt fsircos , the sacred ballot has been counterfeited , honor has been repudiated , and citi- xens who could not be intimidated have been ostracized and ruined in purse , or whipped , shot or hung. Such is the south to-day. Made HI by the men who at this moment , ii the senate chamber , are fighting their last desperate light to prevent the in troduction of republicrn sentiment.- * into the south and thus prolong foi awhile their infamous supremacv. "Wo will resist the rule of the majority , they say , if wo have to ntsij hero till next December. " "If it takes till next December , the republi cans respond , wo will never mirrendci our rights. " .IrXK' . POLITICAL. The "demand that f Jorham be drop ped , becomes daily more deafening. The American people just ache t ( have Conkling nominated for .some elective ollice. Mr. Wiiali McLean , of The Cincin- nvti Enquirer , says there is no ollice on earth that he would have. The Hon. W. If. English , of Indi ana , will be pleased to observe that th new cair of Knssia has a removable door knob which he can take to bed with him. Ex-Delegate Dick McCormick wants to be minister lo Japan , but his na has bcnn mentioned too ninch in con nection with the .star route contracts. The Louisville Conner-Journal thinks that if Tennessee , Yirgini.iand Arkansas would all move into onu state- , they miglit inaiignnite a little hell of their own , with Mahone as satanic - tanic majesty. Inquiry is fre.tiontly | made whetlier James A. Gailield or Hoscoo Conk- ling is president. Up to date .Mr. ( Jarlield is the man , and there doesn't seem to be any good reason why this shouldn't continue to be the situation. The republican plurality on supreme court judges in Michigan will be about f > U,0)0. ) The prohibition vote 11 ill be about 1,500 , against 1,114 last year. _ Ciiljfornia , under tlie now appor tionment , will havebix representatives in congress. One plan of ivappor- tionment , now before the legislature , gives the republicans live districts by majorities ranging from : t)0 ( ) to J)00 ( ) , and the democrats one district -San Francisco. In a hotly contested municipal elec tion , last week , the ejty of Indian apolis ' cast 14,140 votes , and gave a republican plurality of f > 17.

Studnic/.ka , superintendent of the sugar company of Lesivenworth , Ksis. , has called attention to the possi bility iff utilizing th ininionse qu.in- tities of pulp remaining from the'corn after the extraction of the starch. This pulp , which is at present a waste product , consists almost wholly of rul- liilose or woody tibreiiiil , in the opin ion of Mr.Btudnic/.kaw , uld be found to be sin excellent material from whieh to manufacture the commoner grades of paper , suitable for wrapping and newspaper purose.s. | ( He points out that In' imna \uiy line paper is 'manufactured from the lefuse of the sugar cane , which is similar in char acter to corn pulii. In view of these suggestions , it may prove to bo of spe cial interest to paper manufacturers to turn tlieir attention to experiments upon the adaptability ot thin material , used at iire.sent only for feed. And the views of Mr. Studnic/.ka are found practicable , the result would be the establishment of .a new industry L'qitsilly important lo the manufacturers f paper smd ulitewc.
