Taking the blank * ta from the body the traces of death were clearly discernible. The remains vcro frozen ntilf , and the position of the iody on its right oido with folded armi ndicaled that the unfortunate man had lasscd without a struggle from the rupoau f sleep to the ropono of death. Nothing 'aluablo ' was found upon his person and lothing lo toll who bo might bo but a otter from a solicitor , whoso uflico is in Jpworth , England , addressed lo UOIIKUT I.BVITT , ho name undoubtedly of the dead. The otter simply stated that the writer had ontMr. Lovitt four pounds and ten hillings as hia share in the estate of his [ ocoaaod undo , Nathan Shelly.

[ Icing questioned concerning the misaiiig man , Mrs. Davis in reply told Till' KOLI.OWINO HTOKV , corroborated by lior neighbors , which nanifcots tliodesporato class of men that 3maha , unknown to hernelf , has had in icr midst , and which , connected with Another inntnnco , proves almost coiiclu- ivoly the identity of the man she knew vilh the ono now lying dead in the uoro- lot's otlico. On the fith day of January of this , 'oir , Into in the afternoon , four men came to Mrs. DAVIS * house and said they were in search of lodgings. They fur ther Hinted that they had been looking all over the bottoms for a oparo room und asked Mrs. Davis to rout thorn i small apartment which nhit vras then UHing fora kitchen.

One man , tall and red whiakoied , dii' the talking for all the men nnd staled ii his conversation with her a room in some house on the bottoms was the only out that would servo their purpose. Hero they lived for nearly two months and u half , and their modp of lifo , manners and habits point suspicuously to the con elusion that they were either fugitives from justice Hoeing from BO wo gron crime committed , or having contoinputiM ono for this city , had failed in the ! undertaking. Shortly after these men had takoi possession of their ro'um TWO LONO-WSTANlIKll WlNOlll'-STKIl KIPUUi kept constantly loaded , wore brough into their apartments nnd placed when they could bo reached in a moment warning. All of the quartette won constantly largo Colt revolvers npoi their persons and were never eoon with out them. Knives were also carried ii their bolts and their every movomen was indicative of trepidation and fear In the day time they never ventured fron their hiding place , which , during all Hi time they occupied it , was never entirol deserted by all its occupants. The | cooked their own food , and when nn ; provisions were needed the tall rod whit { cored man waa despatched to get them Ho wua in very poor health during th greater part of the time , being ull'octoi with some disease which nt times causec him to blood profusely.

From Capt. E. J. Murfm. of Nebraska City , who paaacd through the city yes terday on his way to Omaha , wo learn the particulars of a somewhat disastrous breakup in the river at that point on last Saturday. The river broke about three o'clock in the afternoon , up about the bond of the islands and the ice came swooping down with great velocity and forco. The steamer Edgar was lying in the river pretty well protected aa was thought , by piling driven on the upper side of her. Whim the ice came down the great piles were broken oil' like BO many pipe stems and the Edgar was caught by the grinding masses of ica , shoved out toward the shore and ] left half turned over with her side all crushed in , Captain Pinnoy says she will bo a total wreck. The transfer landing was also badly damaged by the masses of ice that were hurled against them , breaking the tim. bora and rcmloring the landing uselcHj for the time being. The transfer Imit been pulled around as high on the bank as poesiblo to keep it out of the crush. There mast have been a gorge below , for when thu ice \ \ out out the water won ) down about two foot and left the transfer high and dry. Passengers could not gel acrosa Saturday ovenini , ' or Sunday , but they were crossing in skill's yesterday. The Edgar was built at a coat of $3,500 , and curried an insurance of $2,000. The loss on her will accordingly not bo very great. The greatest loss is that arising from the delay and inconvenience to business.

That convention is called to elect delegates to a conference at Pittsburg , Pennsylvania , on the 2th of April , 1881 ; also a convention to be hold iu Richmond , Virginia , July 2nd , 1881. This conference and convention are to mark out a policy for the colored people to pursue in tho" United States in the next presidential campaign , in rela tion to the two great political parties for the protection of the colored people in the south in the exorcise of the election ballot. Every colored mnn and woman who cares anything for his nice is invited to bo present at the meeting called at the A. M. E. Church on Friday night , March 21 , iitTA o'clock , for the purpose of dis cussing the above named subjects and to consult their interests , and how to best servo them by the ballot in the en. f suing municipal election in this city. They begin to look with alarm on the apathetic attitude of the republican [ party , which a < ems strengthening in the : presumption , which has proven too true in the past , that colored mon must vote : the republican ticktt for gratitude , re gard oss of its future promises. In this the party leaders nmy find thomselvas at fault. The colored people in the nation are going to strike out boldly , demanding full protection for every citi/.en , north add Bouth , in every right belonging to American citizenship. They feel that the recent decision of the supreme court , striking down the power and juribdiction of the fcdoial courts iu the oouth , has empoldened the negro haters of the south , which has caused them to open up and push forward a brutal and murderous warfare on the poor , unfortunate , helpless negro in the south , murdering , driving , and whipping them in defiance of the government and the govern ment olticcrs look on this shameful and brutal conduct of the late rebel with seeming indifference and helplessness. If the government is not able or not willing to protect Its citizens against such tout for Bnfants and Children.
