Tin : true inwardness of the dctur-
mined cUort to got Sargent appointed
secretary of the interior has at last
come to light. A Washington dis
patch to the Chicuijo Tribune tolls
the story briefly as follows :
A gentleman from the Pacific slope ,
who is perfectly familiar with the
movements of the politicians there ,
said to-day : "Thoro seems to bo an
impression that the great power
which ia pressing the president to ap
point Sargent secretary of the inter
ior is Senator Jones , of Nevada. I
know this is wet so. While Mr.
Jones desires the appointment of a
Pacific coast man to the cabinet , and
has favored the nomination of Sar
gent , way down in his boots ho would
much porfcr some other peraoii from
our region nhould got the place. The
influence backing Sargent is the Cen
tral Pacific railroad. Questions are
constantly arising in the interior de
partment as to t'.io indebtedness of
the land grant railroads under the
provisions of the Thurman act. The
Central Pacific is now in arrears to
the government , and it will bo a
great victory for the company if Sar
gent is appointed. "
Tin : eastern railroad trunk lines
have patched up their difiiculticn.
The announcement is made that hereafter -
after the passenger trrill' botwocn
Chicago and Now York will bo iniulo
on a basis of $20. There in univtirmil
complaint against this rate as being
exorbitant , general opinion being thut
when passenger rates were restored
they would bo made on a basis ot $15 ,
or one and a half cents a mile for
through business between the lakes
and the sou coast. It ia pointed out
that such a rate , owing to the in-
crooned tariff which it would stimu
late , would pay a handsome profit to
the companies who have been selling
tickets at this price for more than
two years past while the rate now im
posed ia higher than at any time since
1808. Within the last fourteen yeara
the cost of passenger * service on the
trunk line has decreased fifty percent.
It remains to bo seen whether this ex
orbitant tariff can bo maintained for
any length of time , and meantime its
imposition only furnishes another
argument for the enactment of a na
tional law protecting the public aguinst
such outrageous extortions at the
hands of the railroad monopolies.
THK attempt of the Council BluiTs
Nonpareil to discourage the projook-
era of the proposed wagon bridge be
tween Omaha and Council Uliills by
.downright misrepresentation m to say
the least reprehensible. Every man ,
woman and child in both of these cities -
ies knows that the present transfer is
.an embargo on the commercial and
social intercourse between Omaha and
Council Bluffs. Iy ! common consent
it has been voted a public nuisance
that must bo abated as soon as pea
diblo. fTho election of a wagon bridge
has become an absolute necessity , It
will afford cheap , reliable
and rapid transit between
the two cities and cannot fail
do be of ae much advantage to Coun <
.oil Bluffs as it will be to Omaha , Ao <
-cording to the Nonpareil Omaha aier
.cluuita insist .upon a bridge that would
cost twice as much on the Iowa side
aa on the Nebraska side of the river.
Tlio 'Omaha m&mbora of the conference -
once ih&ve made no such demand. On
theccmirary they have como forward
in good laith reridy to subscribe their
aharo of itio stock vitlioutuiiy attempt
vrlmtovcr to dictate how the bridge
should bo built. The Nonpareil tells us
"that uch a bridge u is proposed b )
Omaha intere ts would bo a very expensive -
pensive and utmccoMary luxury for
this city and her people , and it cai
certainly bo seen at a t Unco thut it
would bo a very qnestiuiublo enter
prise for Council Ulull'a to tngagu it
or endeavor to foator. "
Wo preHumo that any project tha
would interfere with the Union Pacific
bridge monopoly would boregmdedaa
a questionable enterprise by tie pa
pera on both sides of the river * tlia
owe their livelihood to Union Pac/fic /
patronage. Fortunately , their mer
cenary motives are well understood ,
i and their attempt to obstruct the pro
jected bridge will not retard the un
dertaking.
GUITEAU SENTENCED.
Saturday's scone in the Washington
district court was n fitting close to the
irolraclcd trial of the assassin nf
Tames A. Onrfiold. In pronouncing
the sentence which consigned Onitcau
to the gallows on the lost day of June
text , .Judge Cox look occasion t re
view the conduct of the case , the do-
'onso of the prisoner and verdict of
the jury. The judge reminded the
nnrdcror that , notwithstanding the
atrocity of his crime and the intense
> opnlar excitement , ho had aa fair and
mpartial trial as has over been ac
corded to any man charged with the
commission of n great crime. The
orcbearanco exorcised by the court in
oloraling the insolence and black
guardism of the prisoner and anbniit-
inc to the frcquontintorrOptiona that
olardod the progress of the trial , were
vithout parnllol in the history nf
criminal trials.
The attempt of the defense to justify
he dastardly murder of the president
in the plea of insanity or insane in
spiration was not sustained by the
evidodco. The conclusion of the jury
hat CJuiteau was in a mental con
dition to discern right from wrong on
ho 1.M of July was embodied in their
ordict. It would have been more
reditablo to our civilization and the
good name of thin republic had the
vidonco unstained the pretense that
his assassination of the chief inagis-
rate of the nation wna the work of an
nsane man , irresponsible for Jim not.
The strongest witness for the prose-
lution was the prisoner himself , and ,
ix the judge very clearly points out ,
lift own testimony controverted the
hcories of his counsel by allowing
: alm deliberation in planning the
irimo and a wilful impulse in its com-
iiisnion.
Even in the solemn moment
vhon sentence of death was pro-
touncod against him the hideous in-
olenco of Quitoau could not
jo restrained , and ho poured
nit on judge and jury a torrent cf
ibusc , calling down on their heads
ho course of the Almighty , to whoso
napiration ho attributed the cruel
nnrdor of the president. It is u cause
'or general congratulation that the
jlasphemoiiB wretch will not again bo
) ormittcd to harangue the public from
.he court room.
THE FATE OF DE LONG
The latest news from the .loanetto
wrty in sadly discouraging to the
topes of the friends of Lieutenant Do
jong. The first authentic advices
respecting the lost party in the second
boat , which consisted of Do Long and
hirtoon oflicors and mon , has reached
his country in a dispatch from Liou-
onant Danonhower'dated at Irkutsk ,
on Tuesday last. The first traces of
Do Long were found by Lieutenant
Dononhowor'a party while traveling
south in their woaryjnttcmpt to roach
the settlements on1 the Lena river ,
[ n a deserted hut on the barren coast
of Siberia u "cached" record was found
n DoLong'a handwriting , dated
October 1st , which shows that the
whole party reached the abandoned
illago of Sagraph on September 28th
with all its inomborH alive but suffor-
ng severely from frost bites and lack
of food , At that time Lieutenant
) aLong Inul only provisions for two
days , but expressed the hope of socur-
ng enough gatno to tide ever the
.into until ho reached the southern
lettlements. Later records were
'ound by Lieut. Danorhowor which
old the story of terriblesnll'or
ngs and the death of one
of the crow on October 7th.
I'wo days later the party
joing in great distress for
want of food two of the men were
Hcnt ahead for relief and after march
ng in the barren wilderness for fifteen
days they were found on October 24th ,
in a starving condition , by natives and
carried to a settlement , where they
were heard from on October 2lth ! by
Lieutenant Danenhowor. The dis
pute ! ) stales that nothing further lias
been hoard of Lieut. DeLong and his
party and that all efforts for their re
lief had to bo abandoned on accounl
of the refusal of the natives to go on any
further. On November 28th the search
party returned to lialonongn to get
Russian assistance and a largo force is
now engaged in searching through the
barren steppes which stretched from
the head of the delta of the Lena river
to the coast. Four months have now
okpsud since the last news of Lieutenant
ant DoLong'a party was found by
Lieutenant Dunonhowor and the fate
of the lost members of the oxpoditioi ;
would almost nooni to bo a foregone
conclusion. With only two days pro
visiona on hand , enfeebled by privu
tion and uullbring and alowly drnggini ,
their way through a wilderness
covered with anew and devoid of game
there is little hope that any of the
party have survived. Had they
reached the jsetllomonta , infonnatioi
would by this time huvo como into1
Irkutsk , which is the telegraph sta
tion nearest to St. Petersburg. Slil
every effort is being made , both bj
Mr. James Oordon JJonnett and the
navy department , to ascertain the
fate of the sufferers. Lioutonun
Molvllle with a largo search party is
outing the country weal .and nortl
of Irkutnk ; the Jtusaion govornmon
lia supplied a steamer t o search along
the banks of the river Lena ant
Secretary JIunt has detailed two of
icora of our navy to proceed at once
o Siberia to aid in the search under
ho direct auspices of the navy de-
mrttnont. Lieutenant Dancnhowcr ,
vilh one of his oycn mined nnd the
other rapidly failing from his dread-
nl sufferings which ho was compelled
o undergo , hai been ordered to re-
urn to this country with the party ,
one of which is hopelessly innano , nnd
all of whom are terribly shattered in
icallh.

IT in rumored that The National
{ epublican , of Washington , will
hortly change hands , and fall into n
company of republicans who desire to
mvo an organ for President Arthur's '
ulminiatration that shall bo frco from
ho taint of star route frauds , flor-
nun is talked of as chief edilor , but
i ia more probable that ho will be
hiftcd and the place given to Frank
latton , the assistant postmaster general -
oral , and proprietor of the IJurlington
lawkoyo. That President Arthur
will bo a candidate in the republican
onvention of ' 84 can bo act down aa
a Bottled fact na settled na anything
which ia likely to occur in future.

The National Republican never ban
boon , ia not now and never can be n
lational organ. It wields no greater
nfluoncQ in moulding the sentiment
f the country than the vote of the
) istrict of Columbia in determining
ho election of a president. The
Vashiugton papora arc purely local
n their influence and at best only
oico the views of the kitchen cnbi-
lot. The Now York papers circulate
nero copies in Washington than any
OHO of the Washington papers , and
iven furnish the people of Washing-
, on with their local news ahead of
, heir own papora. Nobody knows
his better than President Arthur ,
ind it will certainly bo immaterial to
lis future prospects for the presiden
cy whether Goo. Oorham edits the
National Republican , or Frank Hat-
on. Aa a political thinker anoVagita-
, or Oorham is immcaaurcably supe
rior to Hatton , ; tnd HO fftr as star
routes iiro concerned Hatton
ias no advantage over Mr. Oorham.
't might bo a good thing to let Mr.
latton try his hand na editor of a
laily paper. Ilia editorial experience
was gained at the end of a pair of
hears ou a rural weekly in Mt.
Pleaaant , Iowa. His transfer to the
Hawkeye was partly to oblige ox-
Senator Harlun , and partly to reward
lim for political services rendered to
; ho vice president of the Chicago &
Burlington road , who had n controll-
ng interest in the Hawkoye. Osten
sibly Mr. Hatton was the editor , but
n reality ho has done precious little
.o fill the editorial columns. The
reputation of the Ilawkoyo was made
Bob JJurclutto , and Hatton's de
parture to Washington has lott no
vacuum in any department of thai
journal. So much for tlnj rumored
transfusion of brains into the Na
tional Republican. The best advocate
that President Arthur can have is a
; oed administration , for which the re
putable press of the country will give
! iim duo credit. Personal organs al
the national capital or elsewhere can
not build up popularity for an admin
istration , much loss can they influence
the action of national conventions.

WESTERN RAILROAD PROG
RESS.
The past week has not dovolopet
many important movements in the
railroad field , The dim shadows o
coining ovonta are discernable at aev
oral points in this nnd other states
but the arrival of nettled uprii
weather will alone develop their mea
ing and extent. The H. it M. com
pany are preparing to build a bruncl
to Nebraska City , having already secured
cured possession of the boats am
charter of the ferry company. A
usual in everything for the benefit o
a town , this movement oncounterei
obstacles in the shape of hogqisl
property owners , who slapped on the
price as soon aa the company selectee
a aite for a depot. The determina
tion of the manager not to build unti
they can purchase all the land the
need at reasonable- prices will brin
the speculators to terms very aoon.

Work on the Missouri Pacific , south

people off the line of tlio Union Paci
fic to burn Wyoming coal. Wo will

composed of alato nnd gas , that the
Elkhorn Valley road sues lit to dump

tion that wo have , however , that n
few more acts like this will open the
eyes of the people , and they will not
bo long in informing the railroad com
panies that the state can control them
nnd will in such a way that will make
them squirm. They only need a little
more rope to effectually hang them
selves. "
The rivalry between Blair nnd Decatur -
catur for the bridge over the Missouri
continues. The engineer in charge ,
Mr. Morrison , who has located the
bridges at Kansas City , Phittsmoulh
and Bismarck , is decidedly in fnvor ot
the Blair crossing. The bed rock
was found there from forty to fifty
feet below the surface of the water ,
and it will cost no more to protect the
banks at Blair than Docatur. A
crosbini ! of some kind will hnvo to bo
maintained nt Blnir , even if the rivet-
is bridged at Decatur , and a bridge nt
tlio laltor point would make necessary
an entire change in the Sioux City A.
Pacific system.
The Control Branch of the Union
Pacific is vigorously squeezing the
lemons in Nuckolls. The managers
have secured sufficient contributions
'rom ' the people to pay for the prelim-
nary survey , and have now disguised
.liomselvos under the name of the
Mebraska Central railroad company. .
They propose to build into Nuckolls
county immediately , nnd during the
season run a rainbow road to the
Niobrnra river , provided the people
along the route consent to bo bled

The Atlantic & Pacific , after strug-
j > lini' for months between the fires of
the Atchison , Tor/oka / & Santa Fe nnd
the Gould nnd Iluntington interests ,
finally succumbed nnd is now an in
significant part of the triple alliance.
The reported defeat of Gould'some
weok.s ngo was a tritlo premature ,
though the fact remains that Presi
dent Strong , of the Santa Fo compa
ny , secured in the nuin the points of
vantage contended for an dqunl di-
yisiou of through trallic. This con
cession , as long ns maintained , guar
antees the Santa Fo a largo revenue
aftot the completion of the Southern
Pacific main line to New Orleans.
The Atlantic & Pacific isnow finished
to a point nbout KOO miles west of
Albuquerque , and by the terms
of the syndicate the rend bo
continued to the Colorado
liver and then turn south
to make a connection witb the
Southern Pacific. This stops for the
present the construction of the third
through line to San Francisco , and
loaves Iluntington , Crocker & Co. ,
undisturbed monarchs of California ,
Arizona and Now Mexico. The com
bination will have supreme control
of local and through rates and will
continue to regulate them to the sat
isfaction and profit of the stock hold-
ore. It is a stunning blow to South
ern and Central California producers
and will do more than all else to unite
and strengthen the anti-monopoly
leagues to press to a successful con
clusion the regulation of rates , and
the prevention of rebates nnd dis-
cnminilion , by law. An instance of
depressing ell'uct oftho | sell out is shown
in tho'town of B akersfield , whore the
news caused a crash in all lines of f
business , Jteal estate w i advancing ,
business nnd dwelling houses were
going up , merchants Inid in large
stocks of goods , nnd prosperity was
generally felt , consequent , upon the
expected early arrival of the Atlantic
& Pacific. Real estate foil thirty per

tinues to fall , carrying discourage
ment nnd depression everywhere.
The influence of the B. it M. com
pany has already boon felt in and
around Denver. It is reported that' '
the right of wny privileges of the
Denver , Golden & Salt Lake road
were recently purchased by the com
pany , the principal object of which is
to transport coal from the mines in
the vicinity of Golden , twelve and a
half miles from Denver. The pre
liminary survey has been extended
from Golden up Kolston creek to
Central , tapping immense iron mines ,
n stone quarry and largo beds of fire
clay. Iron has been laid several miles
out of Denver.
Articles of incorporation of the
Oregon Short Line of the Union
Pacific have filed nt the county clerk's
office in Portland , Oregon , which
practically settles the future terminus
of the road nt that city. The
company evidently intends building
across the state instead of connecting
with the Oregon railway nt Baker
City. The snow storms of the pas'- '
few weeks in Idaho have retarded work
on the line and a number of mon have
been temporarily laid off. Most of
the working force is now gathered at
lie American Falls , Snoko river ,
vhoro a new town bearing that name
cccntly sprouted. About fifteen
welling houses have boon built , be-
iclcs two merchandise stores , four
aloons , two chop houses , n black-
mith shop and a hurdy house. Two
undred mon arc at work on the rail-
oad bridge and approaches nt this

pans , three of timber and ono of iron ,
ho latter directly over the main fall ,
'he timber spans were prepared in
) maha and shipped to that point.
? wo of them arc 280 foot low and
he third 150. The grade from Poca-
ollo to tho.Fulla is ready for the iron

year.Ogdon is the first western city to
nove against the U. P. coal inonopo-
y in Wyoming. A few of its citizens
lave plucked up suilicient courage lo
ackle the soulless beast in his favorite
r on the plains of Wyoming. The
plans of the projectors contemplate n
road from Ogden northeast to Umtah
county , W. T. , sixteen miles north
west of Carter , where the
managers have secured posses
sion of a mammoth conl mine
Ihe mine is n sandstone mountain
about four and a half miles long , run
ninij north and south , facing cast , am
nbout three-quarters of a mile across
the mountain dipping suddenly at
each end. There are sixteen veins of
oal in sight. The bottom one is thu
smallest , being five feet ; the next is
the lamest nnd most easy of access ,
and is upwards of seventy feet thick ;
the next nbovo is sixty foot ; another
of .forty foot ; another of about thirty
feet ; live of about twenty-five feet
each , and live of sixteen feet each.
The lust ono is about twelve foot , nnd ,
altogether about four hundred fcot of
coal , four and n half miles lone ; in
fact it may surely bo termed a moun
tain of conl. The proposed road
will bo ninety miles lon , narrow
guauo , and the route parallels the projected -
jected custom extrusion of the Cen
tral Pacific. The capital of the com
pany is § 2,000,000. The result of the
contest can bo seen from afar. The
road will bu built and Ogden and n
few towns on its line will be supplied
with coal at a low rate. The U. P.
will put coal on the market nt a loss ,
if necessary lo make the contest in
teresting , and will refuse to nliin op
position coal lo any olhor niarkol ex
cept at ruinous rates. In a few weeks
the slockholdors will bo ready to sell
out at any price. The Central will
lake a hand about this time in buying
the stock at one-fourth its value.
Presently symptoms of embarrassment
will b > felt , the price of coal will go
up to the old figure , and Ogdon' will
suddenly relapse into the old rut with
a dull thud a wiser and poorer pro
pinquity.
The Helena Herald furnishes some
interesting and instructive figures in
