Pierce is in Chare.o of the Circu lation of THE DAILY BEK. Tun president's condition still con tinues very critical. The recent re lapse followed by painful ourgical op erations , have weakened the patient for a tinio nnd brought on symptoms that wore alarming. The attending Burgeons represent his condition as moro favorable nnd reassuring last night. There ia no telling , however , what the next day may bring forth. The country still hopes for the best , while fearing the worst. TJUIIALH has found his nfllnity in "Bright-Eyes , " ' but poor Standing- JJoar , what is to become of him ?

E. YOST , Manaqor. When a paper represents its weekly circulation as 0,400 when it had barely - ly 2,000 , and its daily at 4,520 when it has less than 1,800 , it is engaged in business that plain spoken people call swindling. Now that Justice Oliflbid is dent speculation is rife as to his successor. Judge Cooley , of Michigan , has boon iftentionod and some parties sucgosl Ex-Senator Coukling , but it is moro probable that Mr. Clifford will bo auocoodod by a Now England man , ninco that section is entitled to the uccessorship. It is Tory doubt ful whether Conkling would accept the position , but if ho should bo inclined in tlut direction n vacancy will soon occur in his own state , Justice Hunt being physically disabled from sitting on the suprunu bench. TUB agitation of the barge line pro ject has suggested a now departure ii transportation , which is to bo knowi hereafter as the combination railroai barge lino. Hon. David Morgan , o Oskaloosa , Iowa , president of th Iowa barge line railroad , is cnUwui astic about this now scheme. II nays that it is the purpose to start railroad , at the head of the deep wate navigation on the Mississippi at the foot of the lower rapid at Keokuk , and to build direct ! ) northwest an air line to the whoa fields of western Minnesota and Da koto ; and that branches of his lin will bo thrown out , penetrating th most productive regions of Iowa , Ne braska and Minnesota. Ho says tha the care used for transporting grain t the barges will bo returned Jadoi with coal , as the line passes throug the finest coal fields of the west , ant lie predicts that with this road com pleted the milleiiium.financial wil have come to the fanners of Iowa Nebraska and Minnesota. PAVEMENTS. Now that our water works are al most completed and a system of sewers ! about to bo adopted the question of avonicnta will bocdmo a most impor- ant problem. So far Omaha is prac- ically without pavement. The Fain- am street experiment with macadam s a failure. It was a costly job that will never bo tried again. The oxpor- once of other cities where macadam as been moro extensively tried lias omonstratcd that it is not durable , n St. Louis 010 miles of ho fit reels are paved with broken mcstono but the board of "public rorks , in its latest report , says its use liould bo confined to streets whore lost of the trafllo is light and its do- truction should bo prevented by n op dressing of gravel. " In St. Louis lacmlrun is very cheap and gravel bundant , but in Omaha such n pave ment , oven it it was durable , is nlto- other too expensive. In St. Louis the est of pavement of lime- Lone Macadam is about six olllars per square ; in Oma- a it costs moro than double that uni. No city in the Union has bettor avcmcnta at present than the city of Vanhington , and in that city oxpcri- nonts have been made with every va- oty of pavements , including square oodeu blocks , round wooden blocks , asphalt blocks , nnd rolled asphalt , and ranito blocks , nnd the engineers in largo , in their report just published , renounce the granite block pave- nont 0.1 the most economic , although 10 most costly. They say in their oport : "Tho granite block pavement aid down on a foundation f gravel and sand nnd filled in the oints with a cement of coal tar reives real satisfaction in the business trcets ulicra tr.alllo is heavy. The xporionco in Paris and London puts 10 lifo of this character of pavement rhen laid with cement in the joints t about thirty years with an annual xponso of about ton cents n yard for inintainaneo nnd repairs. There is very reason to believe that n stone avotnont laid in thin city will prove qually durable , and that the cement i the joints , by making the pave- lent water-tight , will reduce the an- ual cost of maintenance to two or irco cents pbr yard. " The only objection to this class of lavement is that it is noisy , and that a of no moment when durability and ( ability are taken into consideration , 'n Washington city the cost of granite block pavement now is xbout ? 2.DO per yard. In St. uis the cost of granite lavements laid on a foundation of concrete six inches thick , is about hirty-fivo dollars per square. A wcmont of wooden blocks possesses ivory quality of perfect paving with wo exceptions. It absorbs moisture a considerable degree , nnd after a 'ow years decays. During the pro cess of decay it reaches a condition ihat makes it unfit for traveling , and dangerous to the public health. ( this decay could bo prevented , roodon pavements would bo profcr.i- > Io to any other. During the last fifty oara many processes to effect this mvo been tried , the majority of them iavo proved n failure. In St. Louis ixperimonts wore made with wooden iloclcH chemically treated to expel noisturo , but nil these have boon par- ial failures. Crcosoting , if well and heron hly carried out and the best natcrials are used , is probably ho surest method of wood ( reservation , but works for such purposes are very costly. Ossago orange is the bc.st wood for paving mrposos. Its resistance against decay - cay and its toughness are well known and makes it very desirable for street pavements nnd moro desirable than any other natural or preserved timber. But it would bo vary expensive and didlcult to obtain of proper dimon- sionu in largo quantities. Next to jranito blocks , asphalt blocks , coin1 pi cs od by hydraulic pressure , are the most durable. After a thorcugh test in St. Louis is pavement is pronounced too cost y com.idoring the wear and tear. The cost , including foundation , rolling anil so forth , is thirty dollars per sapor iuiul square in St. Louis , which makes t much moro expensive in the end than granite blocks. Medina sand stone has a great reputation as a strcol paving material. It has been largely used in Cleveland and Buffalo , and lately in Chicago ant Kansas City. It offers great rcsia tanco to abrasion , is not banned bj frost , and wears equally under trafllo Paving blocks of this material are now delivered at Chicago at $12 70 po eupurficial square , and could bo do hvorcd in Omaha for about $20 pe square. This would bo nox to granite the most econ omio pavement for Omaha The question of pavements mus bo decided in the very near future by our city , and inasmuch as the out lay will bo immense , no matter wha kind oj paving material wo use , it is a subject that ought to bo thoroughly investigated and discussed. TUK Modoo war ia still raging. Th remnant of the Modocs now roamin around in the Sacramento mountain are on the * war path in full paint They wore pursued by Lieut , Guil foylo'a command of colored cavalr , and Oregon Indian scouts and n run ning fight was kept up for miles Ponies scorn to have been the prinei pal Bufforcra in the conflict , , LET HIM BE IMPEACHED. Mr. Martin Dunham must answer o the people ot Omaha for a very grave offense. It is a well understood act among a largo class of business men of Omaha who don't knoT what they are talking about that hois onoof the owners of THE BEE. Any man suspected of owning an interest in that diabolical sheet is a bad man , and should bo impeached before a Irum-hcad court martial. The charge that Martin Dunham was one of the owners of TUB BKK was made several days ago by Dr. Miller's man Fridtiy , who is trying to cre ate n tempest in a teapot , > vcr the city advertising contract , and Mr. Dunham has not denied this crave charge. It is therefore proper , o assume that ho is the owner of Ir.K stock , and any man that owns BKB slock is guilty of a capitsl crime. Hr. Dunham being summarily con victed because bo bos never denied ho grave charge made by the irro- ponsiblo sneak , who snoozes every imo Dr. Miller takes snuff , stands mpoachod without further ceremony. The city charter prohibits any member of the city council from bo ng interested either directly or indi- cctly in any contract awarded by the ity government. Mr. Dunham , bo ng one of the proprietors of TitK 5Ki ; , is interested in awarding the ontract to that paper , and Dr. filler's man Friday demands lis impeachment and removal rom the office which ho holds , 'his imperative demand must bo com- died with by the city council without olay , although as n matter of fact Mr. Dunham never did own a share ot lock in thn BEE nnd is not now nnd over has been directly or indirectly ntorcsted in the BCR , except as an oc- asional subscriber at fifteen cents per vook. But Mr. Dunham is guilty of a ; ruvor crime than simply being intor- stod in a city contract while holding lie ofllco of city councilman a rime of the same nature hat which has brought shame upon the people of the Jnitod States , ono which can now never bo blotted out of history. It is cnown everywhere as OroditMobilior. Dho infamy of the Credit Mobilior steals was in the fact that men awarded contracts to themselves Although there is not the remotest similarity between Mr. Dunham's conduct in the city council and the conduct of Credit Mobilior congrcss- non , yet on general principles Mr. Dunham must bo impeached because 10 did not award the printing contract to Dr. Miller's stool-pigeon. This will explain to the citizens of Omaha why such n tempest in a tea pot has boon raised over the city printing , and inasmuch as Mr. Dun- ! iam has never explained to the citi zens of Omaha why all this hue and cry lias boon raised , ho should bo im- machod and removed from ofllco. It a bad enough for a councilman to bo liructly interested in city contracts , > ut when a councilman in neither directly or indirectly inter ested , ho should bo im- leached instantor. Mr. Dunham s the very man who fills that bill , and to allow such conduct to go un- rebuked or unpunished , would un dermine the rock-buttressed found ations of this city government. The people of Omaha that is Dr. Miller , his man Friday nnd their co- larceners , in the Omaha Twilight. Mushroom will not submit to any such conduct in public officials. Not f this court knows itself , and it thinks t does. They insist upon setting an example for nil future generations ol Jmahoga by impeaching Martin Dun- mm and expelling all the other mom- > ors of the city council , They pro > 030 to elect a council of their own for .ho benefit ' of Oraakogs in general and their own benefit in particular They propose to have the city business riansactod ou the square , and lot the public advertising to tlio lowest bidder dor , oven if it is a theater programme or a bill of faro , In any event Mnrtii Dunham stands hereby impcachcc nnd it is ordered that ho bo expolloi from the city council. IN their hurry to adjourn the Now York legislature failed to pass the bill then pending for the filling the congressional vacancies caused by the election of Miller and Laphani to the U. S. senate. Their places will therefore remain vacant until the general election next year. The omission on the part of the Not York legislature will not however af fect the result of the contest for th control of the houso. The list of members elected to th Forty-seventh congress , published ii the Congressional Directory , show the following political divisions in th now house : Republicans , , , . , 16 Democrats , , . . . , , , . 13 Ureenbacken , . . . , , 1 Readjustees , . , . . . , , Total 29 Since the election the republican have lost five members , four by election tion to the senate and no by appoint ment to a foreign mission , numol ; Fryo , of Maine , Conger , of Michigan ank Messrs. Morton , Miller and Lap ham , of Now York. A republican successor has boon elected to Mr. Conger gor , and this loaves the republican with one hundred and forty-sovoi members , or n majority of ono in ft ull houso. It will thus bo soon that ho republicans have the exact num.- > cr to constitute n quorum. The democratic membership baa > een reduced to 129 by the deaths of Mr. Wood of Now York , and Mr. O'Connor or South Carolina. A suc cessor to the latter has boon elected , > ut ns Mr. O'Connor's scat was con- eslcd by Mr. Mackoy , nnd the re publicans took no part in the latter election , it is not probable that ho vill bo admitted to the roll. Four of ho nine greenback members wore elected apainst regular democrats by republican voteswhile another. Jk Hy att Smith , of Now York , although elected by democrats and nationals as an independent candidate , has no sympathy with the democratic party. low the the two rcadjuators will vote on organization is not known , but in ill probability they will follow the cad of Senator ofahono. As matters now stand the lions * is > olilically divided OB follows : Itepubl leans 147 ) cmocrats 129 ] rccnbackcrs 0 tcadjustcrs 2 287 Add vacancies G Total 293 Should nonn of the vacancies bo illcd before the assembling of Congress - gross in December next , the republic ans will have a majority ef seven over all others , or throe moro than is absolutaly necessary to organization. Clio republicans are thus shown to bo n a condition to organize the now louse without any outside assistance. Current Magazines. Midsummer number of Scrib- ncr's is a good one ; its articles bein nainly written with that lightness de- tirablo for hot weather reading ; this s particularly the case with Miss Woolsoy's pleasant essay about Now- ) ort , which rather ijives the sense of ho place than a picture ; with Miss [ Joring'a charming paper on Etretat on the Normandy coast ; with Mr. Furnham's vivacious description of , lmt swift sport , ice-yachting on the [ ludson ; and Mr. Redwood's pleasant sketck of Petit Ansc , a little island in mo of the Mississippi bayous.

His influence , which is disagreeably evident ; even in authors of original quality like Mr. Howells , s so great ovor'Miss Sprague that the effect is almost ludicrous. The story "s undeniably clover , and Mr. James limsolf might envy the skill which limns so well the Philadelphia typo. Mr. Boyesou's "Queen Titania" opens with a fresh and healthy air , charac- : cristic of him , and his broad , manly : nannor is a very welcome relief ; it is ioo soon to say what the story * will amount to.Vo have the "Evening" of that "Rainy Day with Uncle Ito- inus" which J. 0. Harris baa been contributing to this mag azine ; the old Georgia negro is never tedious , but as interest ing now as when wo first made his acquaintance. C. II. White's story of "Tho Village Convict , is a simple nnd faithful Yankee genre sketch. There are several pieces of verso , in cluding five by Roger Riordan , the artist ; these show a whimsical humor and a slight regard for symmetry and Sraco. "Thistle-down" is far the best , it shows a pretty audacity of fancy and language , and some true poetic glimpses. Dr. Holland's verses to his dog do no credit to his reputation ; "H. H's. " lines on "No Man's Land , " are flat nonsense ; Mr. Qildor'a "The River Inn" has o curious charm. The American Art Review for July contains many interesting illustra tions in various styles , the finest being - ing an etching by Thomas Mo ran , called "Morning , " and representing a sunrise over the low coast of Long Island. This is an excellent sample of Mr Moran's brilliant style , and represents "the oxhilorating fresh ness nnd freedom" of a sea shore morning wonderfully ; it is , as the editor says , "all space , light nnd air. " An etching by Edmund H. Garrett , of Boston , "Near Mattakoesott , " is happy in suggestion. A curious work is a reproduction by eomo pro cess nf a drawing by Mr. Qarrott ol an "Ideal Landscape" by the late M. G. Whcelock. It is a composition ; on the loft u rocky mountain spur juts into the scene , with an ccclosiastica ruin , half hidden in trees at its foot , and more ruins dimly intimated on top. At the right there is a rather amorphous mass of tree and rook , with a church tower and other build ings vaguely soon in the ' " 'middle dist aucy.
