With Chase and Savage as the rival candidates it was confidently asserted that in any event the interests of our tax payers would be secure. The outcome has proved the contrary. Omaha is once more confronted by jobbery - bery and corruption. The wishes of her tax payers and the will of her citizens are again brazenly defied by scoundrels holding offices of representative trust.

It is high time that a loud note of alarm - should be sounded. We may awake any morning to find that cholera has reached our shores. Its presence huts been dotacted in London and , according to professional declarations tions time opidomie is of t e deadly typo of 1832 mind 1840. Time East End comprises - prises the shipping district of London. Front thence to our coast would be an easy transition , " From London the jour- fey 1s but nine days to Now York ; from Liverpool only seven.

Meanwhile the company's officers must see that time eentimemotime great body of the public is one of imi ratcondomi ationotheir course. Time action of the telegraphers ese , far , been strictly legal , ad no mens extreme or uneasnble. ho petition presented to the company was immoderate ; no ultimatum was announced ; no threat was made ; time way was not closed to a compronliso. When time comnpauy flatly refused to pay time alighnt- est attention to this petition , mad not only ignored the cominittco tnrou brim winch it was presented , but declared time intention of breaking up the o Is ganira- tion by which alone its employes could hope to exercise any iufluomco on the company , the telegraphers left their work ; but they did so in a perfectly or e erly manner , and they have conducted thonmsclvea since in a law-abiding , self- respecting way which speaks much for their intelligence and cltarieter. There has been no dictation no attempt to ju- teFfero witha the property' of the con- pany , not even any demmunciation of tlto company , mind there has been not this slightest intimilidatioi of any one who sought to take time place of a striking telegrapher. Time strike haa been free from every one of time objectionable fea- turee which usually mark strikes. It has been einply a fair , straightforward effort to got what time tclegrnplmers have thought was lust. It has won , amid deserves , time respect of all fair-mninded meat. On the other hand , time company which immeolently mad arbitrarly refuses to oven consider the propositions of moo who wore just as much entitled to present their claims as time company was to put fgward its own line been guilty of frc- gimeimt and outrageous violation of its ob hgatioie to time com nmmity. It is a well- settled principle of equity , and to a great extent it is a priuciplo of law , that cot- potato franchises carry with them time ob- li aton to exercise theuu for time great- eat advantage consisting with a fair profit uPo' , actual capital and expenditure. That principle hna been steadily , ) oponlym and defiantly violated by tim 'Wcstgrn' Union corpora- tion.

Coinmencing in 1858 with a paid in capital of loss than $400,000 , there were scrap dividends in that year of 447.7 tor cent ; in 1802 there was another of 27.26 pcr cent ; in 1803 there were two more of 133.33 per cent , bringing time nenlnal capital up to $7,050,760. In those five years time company hid paid all oxpetses of operation and oxtensioi of lilies , and divided , ever and above time ordinary dividends , ver $7600,000.

Tlmeso roommms are cut out of time solid stone so over - er anti true are time walls , floor , and ceiling , so plumb and level , msto , defy variatio. There am no windows in time rueus and but ono ottrtnce , whichis always free time top.

On time walls of these romnsnrommnerous iii. oroglypimics and represettatiome of imuntai forms , with hands and feet of hmuan beings - ings cut in the stone in different ] daces. But atrus a to sa time hands all have five fium ere and ouo thumbs and time feet hove six toes. Charcoal is foumid on time floors of many of time rooms , which would indicate that they built fires in tltair houses.

Time houses or rogus are one above the other , three or four stories high : but between each story there is a jog or recess time full width of the roots below , so that they presort the nppearanco of largo steps leading up time mountain. Who these people were and what ago they lived in must be answered , if aims- weredat all , by time 'wise ntcn of the East" Some say they wore time ancestors of time Mayos , a race of Indians who still inhabit Southern Sonora , who have blue eyes , fair skin , and light hair , and , arc sad to be a moral , industrious , and fru gal race of people , who have written a language amid know something of nmathe- tnntics. TIIE FORTh ItAIL'IYAY BRIDGE. _ _ . L" Edinburgh Correpondeneu of tide London Time , . Considerable progress has now been made with time works conneetal with the railway bridge over the Forth at Qucens- furry -time most stupendous engineering work of the kind over undertaken in this country and one that , in some of its features - ures , hits one equal anywhere else. , Time usually quiet villages of Northm and South Queensferry-villages they arc , thought South Queeneferry is n royal burgh of imncient fano-aro.at present time scene of unprecedented activity. Till witlmi' time last few months it would have boon dificult to find more thoroughly dead-alive places within the bounds of the Britisht Isles. Now they arc swarming with workmen , aid mire revelling n time din and turmoil of moui- fold labor. The ground is historic , amid lifts interest for Englishmen , quite as much m for Scotsmen. Time Queen , after whom time Queensferrys were named , was the truly English Princess Margaret , the sister of Edgar the Athohin6 , who , with her mother and sister and brother , found a refuge and a royal wolcone in Scotland when Norman William drove them from England , Malcolm Ceanmoro imomm held his court in time forest tewer of Dunfermn- line. In wolconmg time royal refugees imo ontertaumod mot angel unawares , for time gentle and saintly Margaret by and b became his Queen. To this day the shu - tered anchorage on the uortim side of time Forth is called after her St. Margaret's Hope , and the little seaportot time south ern shore is called Port Edgar , if not of tor the Atholing , then after King Edgar , } vhmo was his lmamesake amid his sister' a son. son.Fora good many years past time scheme of a railway bridge over the Forth a t Queens ferry has ceumended itself t o engineers as the best meate of tiffordin continuous tragic between the south an the north of Scotland. This idea gahne , d force after time erection' of time first Ta y bridge. That structure roumoved for tim e time one of time obstacles to through traf ho which time natural conformittioi of thu o country presented and quickened the desire sire to et rid of time other. Quito na turall that desire took simapo four e arm s o in mm proposal for a Forth brid g uudor the auspices of Sir Thomas Boucle chief engineer who was also time enginee of time fanmoue , but unfortunate , Ta y bridge. Curiously enough a detailed do ' scriptton of time proposed Forthn bridg appeared in time Tmes on Dec. 20 , 1870 only four days beforo'tlmo to aralld dis astr which ovurwholnmed time Tag brid with ruin. That catastro ho nma it miocessar to reconsider time plan f and had been adopted for the m bridge ; but it did not remove the uoces t sit or m uetclm the desire for such a struc f taro. At present time tralilo is interru t m oil by time staaunboat tore-five mile 1 broad-botwoet Graumtommand Burn island . Not only is that short passage uxtremol disagreeable whet easterly gales are blow 1 dug , but it is at all times very inconem r dent to break tire journey by time double o cimaue , first to and tlmom front the steam t cr , rite great desirableness of divot conununicatimt between the two sides t the Furth ( laving boon COnceded , the a t conmpaiyimig plan will show that no bett a means of ofecting time junction caul o have been found in nature that that ii a fowled by time Qnsensforry passage. o rocky ponhmsula extends from the port bank for a mile and a half into time char d eel of time Forth ; and the island of Inc ) t o garvie , half a mile from the northo fU shore , tturms a convenient steppumg.hine toward the southern bank of tire estuary. It is imarll possible to exaggerate the ad. vantage welch time east coast traflic will derive from time bridging of this natural gap. At present the hle tmflic between he sonlh and the north Sofcot mend trust , perforce , pass through time bottle. heck which i lice between Larbcrt mid Stirling , and which is exclusively do time hands of time Caledonian amid oter West Coast companies , That is practically a monopoly , amid mmonopohes militate against the public interests. With the Forth bridge completed time North llri- Lieu railway will be able to rim direct trauma to Perth in an hour or an hour and a half , mmd to Dlmdee iii less tutu two immure. Isdinburgh anglers will be able to make a straight run to Loch Leven in nn hour or a little more , instead of uav. lug to spend two or thrco hours on the weariaomo journey , with its manifofdamid provokitmg changes as at present. Aber- dcen , Bmvenucss , Wick , and Oban would all be brought nearer to time capital of Scotland , mull , therefore , nearer to York and Londoni them tlmoy are at presemt ; timid tlmat consideration makea time completion - tion of time Forth bridge a rooter of national - tional imporhumco.
