the task of selecting a United States

'stalwarts 'out ofoffice
we well remember how those
t
same stalwarts never spoke of Gen
eral Grant sxcept as a "dam bastard.1 '
Our righteous soul was stirred again
to its utmost depth in 1871 , when
those patriotic Nebraska stalwarts
bolted th'e regular -republican picket
and went into coalition with the boui
bens to defeat Gen. John M. Thayer1 ,
a gallant soldier who y had fought
through the entire "war from 'Donald
son to Appommatox , while the } ' were
bravely staying at home and Ji\--
ing on government , papl It was
by this coalition between the
democrats and the republican kickers
and bolters that that model stalwart ,
Hitchcock , became United States sen
ator from Nebraska.
Again in 187G and 1877.our "nght
eous soul" was stirred when the model
stalwart of Nebraska made , a coalition
' "
with Samuel J. Tilden. "Mule"
Barnum , chairman of the Democratic
Ufational committee , wrote a iettcr requesting - ,

the legislature to support , the
candidate of the. Omaha ' Re
publican , stalwart of < stalwarts ,
because he had given n pledge to sup
port the claims of Tilden against
Hayes if he was reelected senator.
That was stalwartism "on "the half
shell" as served up in Nebraska.
During the four years that have
passed since , our Nebraska stalwarts
have devoted their time to coalitions
with bourbons , to defeat republicans
nominated by Hayes , to denunciation
of the president and vomiting out all
the scurrilous and mean things they
could say about the republi
can administration. At the
natiional capital these same *
stalwarts were hob-nobbing" .uitli'Dan

And "now "those'stalwart of stalwarts
are tearingiheir hair out by the hand

want your righteous soul stirred to its
depths you must come to Omaha and

The most interesting and important
phase of. the tranaportatjon'question
just now , considered merely from , a
commercial point of view , is to be
found in the rivalry of' water and rail
lines. At the last meeting bf the
board of trade and .transportation of
tliis city a very suggestive , report was
made by Mr.J. . J. White on his recent ,
cent obervafions in the Mississippi
'valley. From this it appears that the
current of traffic "down that great
tream , made up of the'bulky products
5bf * Jtho 'agricultural regions of s the
northwest and destinea for foreign
markets , is increasing , jn volume with
remarkable rapidity.Of5 course , -the
, great staples of those regions , for
export "Sro _ corn _ and wheat and
there "mealI " ritTi flour made
from theniny.Forrthe , year ending
August ,31 * 187J ) , * .tho export of corn
from New Orleans'was something over
four and a half million bushels , "pnd
that of wheat considerably' lessthan _ _
two" million . For "the twelvemonTh
succeeding the export of. corn had
risen to nearly ten million- bushels ?
and thatof wheat to more
than five and a T quarter. * mil
lion. The rate"of increasecontinues ,
and the figures of the last eight months
are nearly double thoseof _ _ the corresponding '
pending period Twelve months back. '
The more this current of traffic down
thj ) Mississippi s wells the'mbre will that
lo the east dwindle. The effect is ali-
ready felt at the port of New York.
The reason for the change which seems
to TJO taking place in the direction of
the currents which carry the products
of the great west to the markets of
Europe is not hard to find.
Let any one attentively study the
map of the United States with refer
ence to lines of transportation. Two
things will be likely to impress him
somewhat strongly , the enormous 'ex
tent to which the Mississippi River
and its navigable tributaries traverse
the vast stretch of productive territo-
rytbetween tho-Appalachain and the
Kocky Monntian system , and the co
lossal network of railways that cov-
cfs-the face of the country between
the Mississippi and the Atlantic Oc
ean. The water-ways afford the nat
ural channels for commerce from the
interior to the cean. The fact that
the old settlements were on the At
lantic coast , and that the conquering
course of industry has been to the
westward , has given the railroads their
advantage in thepast They have been
built by the accumulated capital of the-
cast , and have followed the pioneers
into the wilderness , assiduously taking
to themselves the business of bringing
the products of the great west to the
sea-board and earring back needed
supplies. It was lohg before capital
accumulated in the -west and enter-
"prise betook itself to-the , streams as
nature's highways for traffic. More
over slavery , among its other curses ,
wrought a virtual embargo upon the
mighty stream whose outlet was with
in its domain. But the west and
south are finding out the value of
their heritage in the branching water
courses lhat converge from the broad
expance of the -great interior valley
-and pour their titanic drainage into
Ijie gulf. That a large vblume'of
traffic-will-go down these streams , and
that .New-Orleans will become a great
e'mporium of irade jfl the agricultural
products of their wide valleys , is "do-
creed by nature.herself.
The cost _ of carrying wheat from
St. Louis to New Orleans by water is
one-quarter of that of bringing it , , to
New York by raiL The entire
freight charge forjijbushel of wheat
from St. "Louis to Liverpool , by way
of New Orleans , is 17 cents-against
2J ) cents by way of New York. From
St. Paul to Liverpool , by-way of- New
Orleans , the rate is 27 cents ; by way
of New York , 42 cents. That differ
ence , if maintained , will determine
the road to market for western _ pro I
ducts in the time to come. A * further
glance at the. map' will-reveal another
path * my by water from the interior
of the continent to the ocean. It is
by way of the great hikes and the St.
Lawrence river , past the fine wharves
of Montreal. Canada appreciates the
advantages of awater joute , and
"
has spenT imllions in over i
coming the obstructions between Lake
Erie and Ontario , and along the upper
stream of the St. Lawrence. Soon
they will be practically removed.
What , then , are the advantages of
New York for retaining her share , in
the international traffic in the
country's natural products ? The Hud
son cleaves the ridge of the Appal
achian mountain system , rand opens a
gateway to its western side , but it is
only a local stream , with no natural
connection with the water system of
the interior. The Erie canal , with its
"
scant seven feet of water , ite
constantly ' breaking banks , its
sluggish boats , its antiquated towpath -
path , and plodding mules ,
is the link that unites the Hudson
River and New-York's imperial harbor
with the lakes. How is it to fill its
place in the competition that is com-
mrfThe West and South , with their
growing preponderance of votes , will
tap the national Treasury for the im
provement of navigation on. the Mis
sissippi and its tributaries. Canada
will open the way forfships of goodly
burden from Duluthjfand Chicago to
Montreal and the openJsea. JIean-

made on the monument to Washing
ton. Whether to that , or such a cause
as plenty of funds , there is no ques-
ttion that-new ; the shaft is fast piercing
the empyrean. This morning * I as
cended td swhere the work is in pro
gress andtwas rewarded by a fine birds-
eyTfew of , the city and its surround
ings. . The present height of the struc-
'fure is * IJJo feet ! To look down from
'that elevSion takes good nerve. When
carried j&X ) , Jeet higher few will be
ableto take a downward glance with-
outieeling that all support has passed
from beneath them and that , as'in a

the net rises'so as "at""all tunes afford
the same.assurance of'safety. ' A few
days ago-- one * 6f the 'workmep was
swept off by a derrick , that swung
againit "him. The 'fact eavfid him
from a-drop which would hare left
us semb'lance' ' of humanity in his form.
I tried to fancy myself in hissituation ,
and I think with only a few meshes
of rope .between mo and the "hard sur
face of the" earth 195 feet below , I
should npf have dared to ' 'move a
muscle towards extricating myself ; but
must have waited for the strong hook
of the derrick to lift me up and land
me.J , T
, The work is being done well. The
foundations have been strengthened
and some'of ' the errors of the first
builders are avoided. For instance
they drossbd the massive marble
blocks so true and square to the very
edges that when the pressure began
to tell , the blocks chipjjedal the joints ,
and. gave the impression that under
the , tremendous weight 600 feet of
piled up marble and granite , the base
must inevitably crumble into powder.
To avoid this , between each 'round ' ,
small pieces bf lead an inch square
and three-eights of an inch thick , are
placed , which receive the pressure
and keep the edges of the blocks a
certain distance apart1. The walls of
the monument are fifteen feet thick at
thetbasbat ; the extreme elevation to
which- they will boJ carried , they will
be Ifrinches'only. The taper is about
one inch to four feet in height. It
will be the highest building of the
kind ' inthe world , and it is to be
hope'd will , provo safe * against all he
convulsions of nature es long as this
nation endures , or a patriot survive
to cherish the .memory of Washing
ton. - *
r The agricultural f report for 1879 is
not now in the hands of senators for
distribution. So is the ' "War o'f the
Rebellion / The. title of this latter
work wilLmislead many persons who
imagino'that * it "is in .narrative form
the history of the rebellion. Instead
of tins it contains the material out of
which history is made orders , reports -
_ ports , telegrams , arranged chronologi
cally , but with no pretensions to
literary workmanship. It will be a
book for public libraries , writers ,
of 'history , public men of a certain
class , but will furnith dry. reading for
general readers. . As but 22 conies are
given to each senator , the distribution
will be necessarilyjimited.
The character of the work , may be
best learned from the preface of the
Volume just issued inwhich it is thus
described :
The 1st'series will embrace the for
mal reports , both Union and Confeder
ate , of the first seizures of Ul S. prop
erty in the Southern States and of all
the military operations in the field ,
with the corresponding orders and re
turns relating specially thereto , &c.
The Stfd-Bcries-will contain the cor-
responQerice , orders , reports and re-
fcurnBeTJniofn and Confederate , relat
ing" to prisoners of war ( so 'far.as th'e
military authorities were concerned )
to state , or political prisoners'
The 3rd series will' certain the cor
respondence , orders , reports' " and re
turns of the Union authorities , ( em
bracing their correspondence- the
Confederatofofficials } } not relating spe
cially to. the subject of "the first and
secondaries. It will set forth the
annual afld special'feports bf the sec
retary of war , of the general-in-chfef
and.of the chiefs of the several staff
corps and departments , the. calls for
troops , "and the correspondence1 be
tween tha national and the several au
thorities. ?
The 4th'sorios will exhibit the cor :
respondence , orders , reports andre
turns of the confederate authorities
similar to that'indicated for the union
officiala as of the thirdseries , but ex
cluding ! , the correspondence , between
tho'Unibn. and' Confederate authorities
grVearin.that series' "
i Thewhole work will consistof
ninety'Volumes , and as it is issued by
the war'department , and has to await
appropriations from time to time for
continuance of the work , "it is not
likely that * the publication' will bo
completed.duringjthis century ; or that
those who receive vol. 1 will. live to
receive vpL 90.
All seeds , plants , etc. , to which the
itate' was entitled have been dis
tributed , In regard to , potatoes ,
Commissioner LeDuc informed mo
iat the department of agriculture
iad contracted for a large quantity in
