ances of the negro against the republican
party are not merely "on account of a nig
gardly distribution of patronage , " but as a of
deep-settled conviction that the ropuhli.
can party is controlled by "an iniquitous
combination nf conspirators , whosa con
tinuance in power will imperil our pros
perity and oven our liberties. " This ia
a harrowing tale , which cannot fail to
arouse the roost intense indignation in is

simply barberoua to treat colored oillco-

IK , u it ia generally believed , that at
Mayor Chase is shamming and play ,

not dillydally with the trial of the
charges that have been preferred against

to attend the trial in person. His at
torneys can conduct the defense without a
Iiim , and the council has full authority to
conduct the trial without the technicalities
or restrictions that are imposed with jury It
trials in the criminal
courts , The ques
tion for the council ia to simply ascertain
whether lib habits , mentally and phpsi-
cally disqualify him from thu efficient
performance of las duty. If , for instance -
stance , he was mentally doranqod and it
uuflt to transact business , it would not
bo expected that the council would post-

THE MEXICAN PENSION DILL
The Mexican pension bill has at las
passtsd the senate by a vote of 37 yeas to
27 nays. It is oitimatcd that thla bil
will add to the yearly expenditures o
the Rovornmont nil the way from $12 ,
000,000 to 350COO,000. The bill now
goes to the house of representatives fo
concurrence or non-concurrenco in the
senate amendments. It i providcdii |
the Dill that the secretary of the intorio
shall place on the pension roll the names
of surviving ofllcars and enlisted men
of the military and naval services wh
actually served fourtojn days in Mexlc
or were on the coaits or frontier , or on
route to Mexico , or were actually in i
b ttlo in the Mexican war and were hon
orably discharged ; and suoh officers , sold
iora and sailors M may have boon person
ally named in any resolution of congrosi
for spocifip cervices in that war , and sue !
of their widows as have not remarried
provided such oflicor , enlisted man or
widow bo or become sixty-two years o
ago , or subject to disability or dependen
cy equivalent to some cause recognized by
bho pension laws of the United States as
sufficient reason for the allowance of
pension. No person ia entitled to the
aonofits of the bill who does not como
within the rule of aga and disability , or
who incurred such disability while volun
; arily engaged in the late rebellion.
The pension is fixed at $3 per month
'ayablo only from the passage of the act
'or and dnring the lifo of the beneficiary ,
or during the continuance of the disabll-
ty. Pensioners already receiving $8 n
month are , however , cut off and these
receiving leas than $8 simply got the dif-
orouco between $8 and the amount they
mvo boon heretofore receiving. All porous
ous laboring under the political dis
abilities imposed by the fourteenth con-
tltutional amendment are excluded
rom the benefits of the act.
The bill also gives a pension to every
loraon who for three months served on
bo union side in the war of the rebel-
on , who has an honorable discharge ,
nd ia or shall become disabled from any
auaonot the roault of his own gross caro-
oaancas , disreputable conduct or vicious
mbita and is dependant on his own lab-
rs for support , The amount of his pen-
ion ia to bo proportionate to the degree ,
f disability and to commence from the
ate of filing the application. The high-
at rate allowed under this section is $2-1
month , which amount ia made divisablo
or loss dogrooa of disability. No person
an , however , claim the benefit of this
onsion who already receives a pension
lighor than $21 a month. Applicants
laving claims now pending , or who may al
loroaftor file claims , may oloot to prose- ale
ute their claims either under this act erie
! io general pensions laws. .
The bill also increases the pension of [
U widows or minor children of Boldiora
nd sailors who are now receiving § 8 a
month to $12 a month and extends the in-
to all suoh who hereafter
roaso may ap m
ply who under existing laws would bo
entitled to $8 a month. It also provides >
hat if an invalid pensioner whoso disa-
> ility was contracted in service and in
ho line of duty haa died , or when ho
shall hereafter die , leaving a widow or cc
minor children under sixteen years of ci
ago , or both , they shall bo entitled in the cib
rdor of succession named to an original
> onsion in their own right under existing
awa without being roiiuirod to provo that be
lie death of the husband or father was
uo tb hia military or naval service. It
lao continues the pensions of minor
hildron when they become of unsound
mind or physically helpless. The bill
urthor prnvidos that in considering the
hums of dependent parents , after prov-
ng the fact of death and its cause , and ,
hat no widow or children nro loft , it ,1H
hall only bo necessary to provo that the H
wrent is without other means of comfortable ,

mi labor or the contributions of others bidc

um nuoh dependent parents shall horo- 11ni

DAKOTA'S ' jVA'ir GOVJWNOR.
The now governor of Dakota , Colonel
Giles A , Fierce , has for uomo time past ot
boon connected with the editorial ntail'of
the Chicago Ntiwa. Ilo has an excellent
military nnd civil record. Colonel Pierce
wont into the army as lieutenant of the
Oth Indiana infantryi aud was soon after
made quurtormustor of the regiment. Ho p
was promoted to captain and than brigade
quartermaster , afterwards to lieutenant-
c
colonel , and finally to colonel and ch cj
quartermaster-general of the department j

financial clerk of the United States

connootion with that journal continued vl
until 1880 , when ho became chief edi vlDi
torial writer on the Chicago News , Ho Din
the author of several works of fiction , > c
and is a man of moro than ordinary h
ability and accomplishments. Colonel o
Pierce was ono of the Arthur managers
the late Chicago convention. Ilia ap
pointment as governor of Dakota will
probably glvogpnoral satisfaction to the o
people of that 'territory , who have long \
needed an able man as their chief execu e
tive. The appointment was a complete eh er
surprise to Colonel Pierce , aa ho was not h
candidate for that or any other peal > > i
tlon , and was not aware that his name f
was under consideration for any placo. fa
is , therefore , a ( Uttering oxprosiion of ni
President Arthur'x confidence iu Colonel
Pierce , Whether ho will accept the f o
position is not known , but for the sake of
the people of Dakota , win hive long f

such a conclusion.
JUS1IGK AND OLKMENGY.
Ever ainco the grand jury , in compll
anco with Ha sworn obligation , has returned
turned criminal Indictments against May
or Ohasonnd Marshal Outline , a dispoai
tion haa boon manifested in certain quarters
tors to crento public eympathy for these
dishonorable and disgraced officials.
This tendency to aympathizo with men
who are in trouble ia very natural , bu
upon reflection it must bo repressed b ;
the commanding sense of public morality
It Is true that the stream never rlac
above its aourconnd the pcoplo of Omah
being the aourco of power , are primarily
responsible for placing a moral nnd phy
sical trrock at the head of the city govern
mont. But at this stage it Is entirely ou
of place to interpose sympathy in behalf o
mercenary officials who have corruptly
connived with the keepers of low don
and brothels , exposed our homes to robbery
bory and pillage by burglars , made ou
thoroughfares unsafe for citizen ant
wayfarers , and converted this boautifu
city into n paradise for thugs and crooks
In the light , of the ordeal to which ou
people have boon subjected for
morn than fifteen months
wo T ould ask is not thin maudlin aym
pathy premature if not entirely out o
place ? Thcro will perhaps como ] n time
when clemency may bo intorposec
without affecting the .public welfare or
encouraging dishonesty in public places.
When that time comes wo will join with
rionda of the indicted in lightening the
lurdon of their dingraco. Meantime lei
no. < man who desires honesty , sobriety
and enforced decency in the administra-
atI
ion of our city affairs throw obstacles in
.ho way of purification by lamenting
over the judicial prosecution of Chase
01ai
and Guthorio.
We have boon nskod to atato through
the editorial columns of TUB Ben whether
01 our city attorney has the right to
01di
lofond city officials indicted for accepting
diw ribos i nnd levying blackmail. In other
words < , has Mr.Connoll the right to act aa
ho attorney of Guthrie and Chase ?
So far no wo know , there ia no law or
ordinance that would prohibit Mr. Con
01m
nol from appearing in court as nttornoy
or indicted city ofli'jiah. But while the
city attorney violates no law in appear
ng in the criminal courts as attorney
dco [ ofoudini ; indicted city officials , such n
ourso ia , to cay the least , of question
able propriety. Tho.city of Omaha is a
orporation in law aud in fact , and the
Ity 1 attorney sustains the same relations
1a
a the municipal corporation that salaried
attorneys of railroads , telegraph and ox-
iroaa companies sustain toward these
bartered corporations. Now , suppose
ho general superintendent or traffic
manager of the Union Pacific railroad or
libi manager of the Pacific express had
bi eon indicted for accepting bribes and
bio
ovying blackmail upon the patrons of tha
railroad or oxprooa line , could Andrew J.
? opploton appear in court as defending
counsel of t o indicted corporation offi *
ciala with any dogrooo of propriety , oven
hough ho was under personal J obliga-
iona to either of them for hia own np
jointmont. Would not Mr. Popploton
o in honor and duty bound to assist the
iroaocution ? Would not Mr. Pop
iloton regard his obligation to the cor
toration that employs him paramount
nd above personal obligations ho might
lave as n man toward the official who by
is corrupt conduct has violated the
riminal code ? City Attorney Council's
obligations are primarily to the municipal
orporation that employs and pays him.
lo cannot consistently with this obliga-
ion , defend a mayor or a marshal for
ribcry any moro than ho could
lofond the city treasurer for embezzle
ment or the city engineer for con <
Diving with contractors in fraudulent meas
urmont. While the duty of prosecuting
criminals devolves upon the district at-
ornoy Mr. Council should , it Booms to
is , always hold himself ready at the "
request of the city council to aid in the
oroaccution of any city official , high or
ow , friend or fee , who da implicated in
obbory or accused of bribery.

The little breeze between District
Attorney Godwin and Lawyer Baldwin
n the trial of the Guthrie case is ono of
; ho principal topics of town talk. Judge
Neville has decided to withhold his pun-
shment for contempt of court
until the close pfr the , trial. The cpi-
sodo has revived among tno lawyers the
story about Charley Greene's contempt
case of last term of court. Greene had
aeon hold in contempt by Judge Noyillo
for some cause 6r/vpthor / it doesn't ' matter -
tor now what itwas and ho imposed a
3no of $100 upon Greene , and entered
the decree upon , the docket. "Mr.
jlreono , you are fined 9100 for contempt
of court , and it Wo sentence will bo at
once executed unless you apologise , "
said the Judge. "Your Honor , ' this is a
case,1' replied Greene , ' 'in which the at
court wholds four aces against a bob-tail
flush. I apologise. " The ready wit of
Greene rather tickled Judqo Neville , who
accepted the apology. Such ia the story
that the lawyers uro now tolling. The
source from which it comes must , how
ever , bo taken into consideration if anyone
ono cares to question the voracity of the
story.

money in the city's pocket to cxilo and
jonsion him at the same timo. How con
soling ; it would bo to hoar hia farewell
speech with a poetical wind-up :
Cho : eud has come , the farewell must bespoken ;
1'rom your dear and fnv'rito city I inuie
part.
Jut notcr , never shall the'spell bo broken ;
Its memory I take , and leave my heart.
AOTI-WEA\ .
Since the congresaional committee
hold its session here last week and Pear-
nan , of Otoe , and Fred Nye'a proxy
'Juniper John , " ate political apples to
gether the anti- Weaver sentiment has bo-
: omo very strong. It scorns pretty cor-
ain that Whoedon , of this city , is going
o knock the nomination persimmons al-
.hough there nro some of the knowing
ones who think General Cowin , of your
city , can get the honor of congressional
lamination if ho desires. I think the
xouoral remembers the treachery of pro-
nnded friends in the last senatorial fight ,
p jump too hastily at flattering conclu-
ions. His real adherents dcsiro him
ccptfor a moro favorable opportunity
and a higher placo.
OTHEIt CANDIDATES.
Captain Humphrey , of Pawnee , is also
coming up as a strong man in the coming
? addock , and the solid men hereabouts
ipouly cxprosa the opinion that Algernon
Sidney ought to have the nomination if
10 deserves it , for ho would bo credit to
o the district and the state aa ho has
icon heretofore. At any rate the polit-
cal thread ot Weaver is ingloriously on-
angled. The warp and warfare busted ,
and ho may aa well hio himself to polit-
cal covontry. Of course , the railroads
are sharpening up their political nxoa ,
and they hava already determined to.
OAJIVU VALENTINE'S NAME
on the gubernatorial chair , the lachry
mose appeals of Davis to the contrary
lotwithetnnding. Captain Phillips , of
ho It. & M , land department , is making
limself too "frequent" altogether in poli-
ics hero now. Ilo has the primaries all
narked out aa minutely as the different on
ectiona of railroad land ho has under ric
ontrol. Ilo ia endeavoring to have
hein at just such places and at just such
itnea aa ho dcsirea. Thu consequence ia
hat Mr. Courtnay and the county committee -
mitteo of which ho is chairman , are
watched pretty closely , Courtnay is ox-
ocdingly popular here now because ho
ias boon doing fine work in exposing the
Vcbstor frauds and such like doplotious
f the public pocket. If ho keeps cu ho
tvill
WEAK POLITICAL DIAMONDS.
ut the staunch republicans here dcoiro
litu to show some back bono in this
iriirmry business and give Captain Phil-
pa a cold shoulder. Lot Courtnay
now the B , it M. land man that there
a cloud on his title to the possession of
bo political machinery of Lancaster
ounty and the voters thereof will say
amen. "
Harrison the middle aged "boy preach *
r"is running a successful revival hero
ow. They say ho will have the whole
ommunity before the week Is over and
ought to on n salary of 650 per night.
Mniost any good Ulker would do the
rork in a very acceptable manner on the
atno tnrms. If ho succeeds in getting
11. Webster to trim his .lamps , and
ease money changing in the municipal
omplo and prepare his harp for honest
armonio strains then , Lincoln can afford
give Harrison an appropriation.
SUAKDAL.
I am happy to say that the frequenters
scandal lane have been lesj numerous
late in the city than heretofore TUB
UK circulates too largely. There are
overttl that will soon have to bo attended cr
if the judicial tribunal is cognizant of
own personality , which it thinks it ia.
'ho roault of the revival has to bo watch-
, however , and if the pulpit fails in its
ork of reformation then the press will
ave to take n hand in , There are too
inny chances at present for Lot's wife to
azo on Salt Creek in this vicinity for tke
era I morality of the community , but
bore may be a good time cominc. Lot
hope there is. QUID Nu.vo. K
