Mn. PowEMi CLAYTON hiw returned to
Arkansas , and ho will now Jiavo his ova
tion.
"Tun United States Tension Ollico" is
the subject of a paper by Eugene V.
Sraalloy , Ju the forthcoming Century. It
will no doubt interest the largo number
of pensioners.
UPON second sober thought , if ho can
over sober up , Mayor Chase will doubtless -
loss sco the propriety of tendering his
resignation , nnd saving himself and the
city frcni all further scandal.
IT is now o&icially announced that Sid
ney Dillon is lo stop down at the end of
this month , and that Charles Francis
Adams is to become president of the
Union Pacific. Sidney has just boon
elected president of the St. Joe & Wes
tern railroad , and ho can afford to lot go
of the Union Pacific.
Tun council will now have no trouble
whatever in getting rid of Marshal Outli
ne. Ho can bo suspended by n resolu
tion , nnd ought to have boon removed
long ago. The council is bound to take
this action unless Guthrie resigns , as it
can not allow the police department to bo
demoralized any longer by having at its
head such a dangerous and corrupt officer.
Governor David Butler was
impeached by the Nebraska legislature ,
thirteen years ago , ono of the articles of
impeachment charged him with making a
corrupt proposal to Champion S. Chase ,
who had boon for a brief period acting as
nttornoy-gonoral. Chase was ono of the
principal witnesses against liutler for at
tempted bribery. The whirligig of time
brings its revenges.
TUB increase of votes at each presiden
tial election gives Homo idea of the growth
of our population. The whole vote cast
in the Harrison campaign of 1810 was
a little over 2,400,000 , while in 1880 it
was 9,210,070 , or nearly four times as
groat. The combined vote of Now York ,
Pennsylvania aud Indiana is now larger
than the total vote of all the states in
1810 ; and Now York alone casts nearly
as many votes as were cast by the whole
country in 1828. Another remarkable
fact is that as the votes increase the
margin of difloronoo between the parties
grows narrower. Polk , Taylor , Buchan
an , Lincoln , Hayes and Garfield were all
elected by a plurality instead of a major
ity of the aggregate popular vote ; and in
the case of the latter the plurality by
which ho won was only 7,000 in a total
vote of nearly 9OOD,000.
TUB board of regents of the Nebraska
slate university has just concluded an
important session. In many respects
the present board of regents is following
in the footsteps of ita predecessors , In
stead of aiming to nmko the university a
great institution of learning it is carving
out slices of political patronage by estab
lishing sinecure professorships. For in-
dtanco , Mr. D. II. Culver , "professor , "
was elected as instructor in modern lang
uages , at a salary of § GOO a year. A
professor who is really com
petent to toacli modern languages
would rather seek employment as a clerk
in some store , or chop wood for a living ,
than to accept fifty dollars a month In a
university. Another professor was
chosen instructor in elocution
at § 800 a
year ; and another member of the faculty
is to raooivo § 900 a year for teaching
history. It strikes us that the Nebraska
state univorisity is being run on the
ground-hog pUn , or else it could nflbrt
to hire first-class men at fair salaries.
AT last the true reason of Tildon's
declination has boon discovered. lift is
ineligible to the presidency. A prom !
nont Englishman , living in Dubuque ,
Iowa , says that ho has soon the church
register in the county of Kent , England
showing Tildon's birth there , and , when
ho was two and a half years old , was noli
by his father for a small holding of lain
previous to immigration to America
This story coining from such a high au
thority , ought to settle the question ol
Tildon's candidacy beyond the possibility
of a doubt.Vo are surprised that Sam
Tilden should have eoucoaled for so loiij ,
a time the foot that he is a bloody English
men. Although shut out of the presidon
cial race on account of his foreign nativity
wo think ho ought , oven at this late day
to become a naturalized citizen of th
United States , What a fortunate thin ;
It was that thU bold Englishman did no
Bocuto the presidency of this great and
glorious republic in 1.870 , Had ho boot
seated in the presidential chair , ho woul
have turned us over to ' Queen Victoria
and we would now have boon annexe
as a BritUh province to Canada , W
certainly escaped a great calamity ,
27/7 ; XEXT SIM 1TE.
No MARRit what the outcome of the
presidential election may bo , the United
Stales senate is bound to remain republi
can until the year 1887. Even if the
democracy should succeed in electing the
next president tto republicans will not
only in a great measure control the pol
icy of the government but prevent any
radical changes in the personnel of the
public service.
The senators vrhoso terms expire next
March are : James L. Pugh , Alabama ,
dom. ; James D. Walker , Arkansas , dom. ;
lames T. Farley , California , dom. , Na-
haniol P. Hill , Colorado , rep. ; Orvill H
latt , Connetticut , rep. ; Wilkinson

Georgia , dom. ; John A. Logan , Illinois ,
rop. ; Danlol W.Voorhccs , Indiana , dom. ;

Drogon , dom. ; Jatiios Donald Cameron ,
Pa. , rop. : AVado Hampton , South Caro-
inn , dom. ; Justin 8. Merrill , Vermont ,
rap. ; Angus Cameron , Wisconsin , rop.
It will bo soon that 25 senators' terms ox-
pro March 4 next. Of those M are donv
ocrats and 11 republicans. The succes-
sere of four of the retiring democrats
lave boon elected from Kentucky , Louis-
ana , Maryland and Ohio All democrats.
That loaves 10 , whoso places are to bo
filled from the states of Arkansas , Ala-
jama , California , Florida , Georgia , Indi
ana , Misssissippi , Missouri , North Caro-
ina , Oregon and South Carolina. It is
encoded that the republicans will gain n
oimtor in Oregon as a republican logis-
aturo has just boon elected In that state ,
ndiana ia a doubtful state , and Mr. Vor-
ices is likely to bo succeeded by a ropub-
can. Nevada is also a doubtful state ,
nd is liable to bo captured by the demo-
rats , which would offset Indiana. The
onato Is now composed of 3G democrats ,
nd 40 republicans , and the democrats in
rdor to have a majority after March 4 ,
must gain throe. This , however , is not
at all probable as the loss of Oregon will
add another to bo gained somewhere olso.
n view of this it is evident that the re-
mbiicana will hold the tonato until 1887 ,
nd oven if Mahono and Iliddloborgor
hould turn over to the democrats it
vould make the senate a tie.
TIMELY INDICT
The grand jury of Douglas countv has
> rcsontod indictments for bribery and
> brjury against Mayor Chase and Mar-
lial Guthrio. While the citizens of
Imaha cannot but feel keenly the disgrace
vhich those officials have brought upon
ito city , every right-minded man and
woman in this community will accord to
ho grand jury nnd District Attorney
Godwin unstinted praise for the fearless
nd faithful discharge of their sworn duty ,
t is not for us now to pass upon the guilt
r innocence of the accused , nero
o wo desire in the least to influence
ho jury of their peers before
whom they are to bo tried , but the fact
liat sixteen men , good and true , men
who rank among our most respected oiti-
oiiBlmvoafter asoarchinginquiryintotho
candalous reports , agreed to present nu
merous Indictments against Mayor Chase
nd Marshal Guthrie , affords proof that
lioro mutt bo very well-founded reasons
or the reported dishonesty and corrup-
ion of those officials. Almost from the
, 'ury first day that Mayor Chase entered
upon the discharge of his duties , for the
irosont term , wo have had a reign of law-
ossnoss , jobbery and debauchery.
Jvory protest and every appeal
rom decent people has boon
purned as an insult. Every effort to
nirgo the city of the dangerous and law-
ess element has boon fruitless. For
uoro than a year it has been notorious
hat a systematic levy of $50 a month
mn boon made upon the gambling houses
f this city by Marshal Guthrie , and it
vns generally believed that the mayor
nd marshal were co-partners in this
leal. It was well known that the gam-
iling houses were closed for three weeks ,
und were only allowed to reopen upon
ubmitting to this official black-
nail. To-day the city of
) malm stands disgraced before the
vorld by the indictment , of her chief ex
ecutive. It is a disgrace , however , that
iho will cheerfully boar , because it has
Brought with it a wholesome lesson that
will purify the public morals and serve
notice on men of high and low degree
that tlioro is a limit beyond which , oven
In this fast and loose communityno pub
lie official will bo permitted to go unpun
Uhcd.
Now that those officers are indicted it
behooves them to relieve this city from
all further disgraoo , expense , and embar
rassment by promptly tendering their
unconditional resignations to the city
council.
TUB vacancy caused in the board of regents -
gents of the Nebraska State University
by the retirement of Mr. J. W. Gannoti
has boon filled by the board in the election
tion of Mr. Loavitt Burnham , land com
niisBionor of the Union Pacific railroad
Mr. Burnham is a contloman whom wo
sincerely respect , and for all wo know ho
may bo oven bettor ] qualified than Mr
Gannett , who was for many years ono p
the most useful members of the board
But wo ask , in all candor , whj
was Mr. Burnham chosen ? Dooi
the Union Pacific railroad holt
a lifo membership in the board of regents
Does not Mr. Burnk-ur.'a uppointmon
again confirm the fact that the dominan
party in Nebraska has hired itself out a
a sort ofjbody eorvant to the great railroad
corporations. " True , the law requires !
that the vacancy should bo fillcdfrotn the
dristrict in which Mr. Gannett was a resident
dent , but it is voty remarkable , to say
the least , that only republicans in the
employ of the great railway corporations
should bo considered as qualified. There
are at least 2,500 republicans in thiscoun
ly , ontsido of the Union Paiiflc head
quarters , but the board of regents had to
ignor them , in order to porpoluato the lien
which the Union Pacific holds upon the
party under its present management.
IN view of the fact that party platforms
are now made mainly for catching votes
rather than to enunciate any great ptin
ciplts , the republican platform is a most
catching production. According to the
Now York JTcrahl the republican plat
form bids for
The labor vote ,
The manufacturers' vote ,
The capitalists' vote ,
The shoopraisors' vote ,
The bankers and business men's ' voto.
The anti-monopoly vote ,
The monopoly vote ,
The colored man's vote ,
The reform and independent vote ,
The squatters'fl vote ,
The soldier and sailor vote , '
The peace and war vole ,
The anli-mormon vote ,
The territorial voto.
MAYOR CHASE affects to treat the in
dictinont ngainst him with contempt. Ho
says no jury would convict him on the
ostimony of gamblers. Colonel Chase
ought to bo lawyer enough to know that
lisown conduct affords the strongest
> roof that the gamblers are tolling the
ruth. Besides there are other matters ,
outtldo of the gambling complications ,
which are more serious.

The London ( Etg. ) Daily News is not
'ar out in describing this book as "ono of
ho cleverest , freshest , most original
novels that has lately appeared , " for it is
irst and last notable for its quality of
rcadablcncaa. The book has doub'tloas a
ipeclal interest since it is written with
ho avowed " "
"purpose" of persuading
Vmorican girls who go in high hopes to
tudy music in Europe that they would
[ o far bettor to stay at homo. It is not
ivory sweet voice that gives
njoymont and attracts attention
n a church choir which
fill make its fair
owner a Patti or n
Silsson. Far more likely is it to bo a
lerllous temptation to wandering exile ,
o the squandering of the hard-earned
nonoy of friends in futile singing lessons
n Europe , to the gay but dangerous
jlimpaca of Bohemian llfo among musical
students and professionals in the great
capitals of the continent , and sometimes ,
is in the case of the heroine of this book ,
o mistakes ending in bitterness , despair
and death. The keen comprehension
ind graphic description of different sys-
ems of vocal training under the great
ilnging masters of London , Paris aud
Milan is full of interest , not only to
musical folk , but to all who Jiko to know
ho why and the whornforo of such art ,

io , as always , chiefly in intelligent work.

CITY WALKS AND TALKS.
Capt. John U , Manchester's war remin
iscences , recalled by ecelng the famous pje-
turo of Iho battio of Gettysburg in Chi-
nnd published In THE UEK two
ngo , attracted considerable attention ,
particularly nmong the Boldlcr of the civil

stallment from Copt. Manchester ,
- "Thero is n fiwclnatlon about the great
Gettysburg picture at Chicago , " said CnptuSn
Manchester , "that an old soldier can't with
stand , nnd I presume I shall go up and sco it
every time 1 am In the city ns long as It ro-
malm there. Even tlio excitement and attrac
tions of a national convention could not keep
the boys away. Whllo looking at it Lot wcok
I was romlndoil of an Incident of the last day's
fight which I will toll you , During the great
artillery duel previous to the charge on Gem
ctory Hill our brlgado WM phced in tlio roar
of the hill in support of the artillery , where wo
remained until the charge wna m.v' ' " . Wo
soon found that wo wcro In a position to bo
picked off by a sharpshooter who waa located
in the belfry of ono of the Gettysburg churches.
Yon may know that , wo felt very uncomforta

wounded u man , nnd althougfi Clothing wna

ntlll I know that ovciy man thought that ho
might bo tlio next ono who would como under
that sharpshooter's deadly oyo. In a ort
time wo were ordered out to support those on
the front nnd ns wo moved out a man belong
ing to the ] Clovonth Pennsylvania broke out of
the ranks nnd rushed nhoau , evidently to getaway
away fruin the sharpshooter's firo. .lust as ho
passed by ua ho was shot through the head. So
you scoli man waa just as safe If ho romalned
In hla place and stood his chances. Womnved
on at a qiii'.k pnco , and as wo cnmo around on
the front tlio sight wna perfectly gr.tnd. The
fire waa terrific. Tlio nir was full of smoke
and bullets nnd while the rebel lines were
wavering our awn lines wcro not in much bet
ter shape , but wo swung Into position with a
about. Just nb that moment nn officer , I
think it won General JJarlow.cnmo riding down
the front , from the left ; with three stands of
rebel colors trailing bemlo his horse , nil whlto
with foam , and being spurred on by bis gal
lant rldor. The xliout that wont up did every
man's heart good. A few moments of sharp
work decided the day on that part of the line
and the rebels fell back thoroughly whipped. "
"II5sU > ry never tells nnything of the real
licrnoa of the war the bnju In tha ranks \\lio

n picture at homo of lieutenant Prank 13ren-

Hall's Bluffs , nnd received a wound which

"One of the original characters In llto
97th Now York , " said Captain Manchester ,
"was Snow , of company I , During our lirit
yoar'H Bcrvico , Arch Archibald was his fiont
naino and myself were members ot the rogi-
tnoutal band. Wo marched and foraged to
gether a great deal. Snow always carried on
iron ramrod which ho could throw further
with deadly effect whou n chicken wna in
sight than any man I o\cr saw. lint wo
BOOH tire j of band ucnlco nnd returned to our
respective companies , In duo time Arcli became -
came 1st sergeant of company I , Whenever
wo were under ( ire with orders to lay down ho
would rulso lila arm or leg up na high as pos
slblo and shout 'Oh glva mo a uixty day fur
lough'nnd ho was apt to mtoruperao his shout
ing with language that would make the at
moaphoro look blue. IIo had great command
of the Kngllsh language. IIo finally got his
furlough , but not where ho wanted it. It wni
tlio first day at Gettysburg and ho waa shout
ing as iiBiiil when a bullet passed Into hia
mouth and came out through his jaw , Poor
Snow wan ellencod for the tint time in many a
day , HoQput his hand over his iroiith
and broke for the roar , and tlio
uoxt time wo hoard from him waa
through Lieut. Waters , who had been
wounded in tbo bead and was standing at a
tub of ralu water at ttia rear of a house in

stuck his head In the tub , and when ho pulled
it out nnd opened his mouth n largo i
of blood nud two or three tooth fell into the
water. In n second tbo air was blue with
swearing.V ntors said ho knew it was Snow
as soon na ho ipoko. The lady tried to nuiot
him down but Snow WM road and would not

enough. During the next three daya Snow
wax a prisoner in ( Jottysburg with the bal
ance of our wounded from the first day's
fight , but on the murnlng after the 'rebs' had
retreated an object was seen moving up the
road from Gettysburg that looked like an

be Snow. Ills head waa all covered with _
bondages wrapped around to keep his jnw in

Definition of the Word "Oro\v. "
St. Louis Globo-Democrat.
Crow A bird of plumage known to the
ancients as the choicest of the genus Par-
ndiaea ( bird of Paradise ) . Under severe
penalties none but emperors and victors
in the Olympic gainoa were allowed to oat
the flesh of this bird , which was pro
nounced by Lucullus the rarest delicacy
on a table furnished at fabulous expense.
From this fact the term "eating crow"
was used as a compliment , and applied to
persons who had shown unusual judgment
and sagacity in the prediction ot national
events. In American politics the phrase
has somewhat degenerated , and is applied
by democratic editors , who can't elect
their candidate , to republican editors who
give their rordial support to a second
choice for president.
