TUE only answer that IB made to tin charge that Mayor Boyd's olootlor was secured by. bribery one fraud , is that they all do It If this wore even true , and had thi supporters of Murphy tapped t bigger barrel than Mr. Boyd's , it wonlc bo no justification.

Hardly a day paste * without bringing to light additional proof of the peril In which the country has been placed by corporation conspiracies. Months ago when the people wore startled by the publication of the Hnntlngton lottera , which throw such a glaring light upon the true Inwardness of Central Pacific methods of bribery nnd jobbery In the halls of the national legislature , the country began to realize what monstrous Iniquities had been perpetrated npon the public by those g'gantlo ' and grasping corporations. And now wo have a post script from the same source which goea to show that those highwaymen oven made an attempt to Invade and corrup the highest courts of the land , and wore only bifllod In their audacious scheme by their failure to corrupUy Influence a ma jority of the supreme court of the Unitot States. The publication of three additional letters of the Colton-TIuntlngton corres pondence , not heretofore made public , brings Into unenviable prominence the name of Juotlco Field. It will bo re membered that In September , 1878 , Al bert Gallotln began a suit in the United States circuit court at San Francisco os tensibly for the purpose of preventing the Central Pacific railway company from paying dividends to Us utockholders. Gallatln waa simply the tool of the rail way. Ho waa connected with the firm of Huntlngton , Hopkins & Co. , and possessed but five shares of Central Pa- ciQc stock , which wore probably given to him for the purpose of en abling him to bring the suit , the real object ofwhich waa to raise the question of the legality of the Thnrman sinking fund net. The plan of the Central Pacific was to put up a plaintiff whoso lawyer , acting under Instructions , was to play Into the bands of the corpo ration and give the caao away. It was nothing more nor loss than a cunningly dovlaed brace-fame. According to the programme a demurrer was Interposed by the defendant railway corporation In the United States circuit court , a judg rusnt was rendered , and the caao waa lip' pealed to iho United Statea supreme court. Part of letter 197 from Colton to Hnntlngton , dated August 9th , 1878 shows that Justice Field waa in San Francisco on that date , and that ho had several longTalki witbTColton , who wai then doing all the underhanded work foi Iho railroad at the San Francisco end In this letter Oolton says : "When mot , like Thnrman and Edmunds advocate thi passage of auchn bill aa the sinking fund ac nhat protection Is there for property It this country ? * * # I have had several oral long talks with Judge Field , and thi hope of the country la In the supromi court if the nation la to bo saved die , grace. " That the general manager o the Central Pacific conspirators uhouli write such n letter to ono of his partner ' ar.d inform him that "tho hope of th country Is In the supreme court" is decidedly cidodly refreshing. Bad ho said that th [ hopa of the railroads , which own th , country , was in Justice Field , ho woul have como nearer the truth. It thouli bo borne in mind that when thla lotto was written Gallatin'a bogus suit had nc been commenced. Letter 105 , date September 20 , 1878 , explains why thi , suit was concocted , and indicates whs preparations were made for it. In the - letter Colton wrote : "Judge Field wi not sit in the Gallatin case , but will re serve himself for bis boot effort. I hav no donbf. of the final termination of th cisa at Washington before the fall bond I think that is wise , and then Judge Saw ycr will hoar the cisa hero , and if Judg Field should take our view of the case o final argument before the tupromo cauri it would have moro weight with thr court thun IE ho hid rendered a doc ; eion below In our favc In California. " Hunlington roplloJ In letter from Now York , and approve Colton's plan in thoao words : "I thin you are right about Field not tilting I the Gallatin suit. " Sure onoDgh the conspirators were i [ no way disappointed in their scheme- far ao they could carry It out ia Calif 01 nla. Judge Field did not alt in the cas when It came up for hearing In th K United Stitea circuit court in San Frar or cisco , but "reserved himself for hla bei 10 effort " In behalf of the ill , great monopolj id when thla jug handle case should com before him in the supreme court. Th matter was loft entirely to Judge Sav ycr , who , aa already stated , ruled pr < forma on a demurrer of defendants , wh took an appeal. So far , so good. Bt fortunately a lawyer named John Lor Love , the present city and county attoi ney In San FrancUco , who had boo watching this remarkable mockery c justice , and realizing the. Imperial bearing of the caao.laid the facts of the cor. splracy before the United Statea at torn oj general at Washington , showing that t all intents and purposes tbo railroad wa both plaintiff and defendant. Bis con municatlon Induced Attorn oy-Genorr * Dovona to Interpose on behalf of the government r ornmont , and the .case Involving million of dollars was not allotted to go by de fault. It was thoroughly argued and th l decision , which waa rendered by Chle Juttice Walte , Oatober 29,1879 , affirmoi 10 the constitutionality of the Thnrmau act Janice Field warmly advocated th ' cause of the conspirators. His dissent ing opinion was regarded aa the atronges potsiblo presentation of the railroad's aid ot the cage. Ho coald not have donoan ; better for the railroad had bo been It paid lawyer instead of a justlc of tbo supreme court. It was hi "best effort" for which hohad "reserved himself , nd Colton , who had ezpectei such an effort , could not have been dls appointed In regard to Justice Field. This jog-handle caao in California i only a counterpart of the jug-handle lltl gallon which the Union Pacific concociet In this atato and carried to the supreme court of Iho United States , Wo refer to the celebrated Platt caao , in which ono of the railroad company's agents and stool-pigeons brought a bogus suit In order to enable tho'company to hold the ands which had boon forfeited by Its charter , and made anbjool under Its pro visions to pre-emption and homestead on try. In thla instance the Union Pacific was moro ancccssfnl than the Central Pacific land grabbers. SECRETARY BAYAIIU has reversed the policy formerly pursued in the state de partment in never sending to any foreign nation a representative who la a native o that country. Carl Schurz , for instance who wai born in Germany , was sent aa minister to Spain , whllo ho doubtless preferred to go to his natiro country. Mr. Barrows , of this city , was sent as consul to Dublin instead cf an Irishman. Hon. Bruno Tszchnck , also of this city , would have preferred the consulship at Hamburg , but ho WAS sent to Vera Cruz. Now , however , Secretary Bayard does not hcsitato to endorse the appointment of man as our foreign representatives in their native countries. Among the very boat of such appointments is that of Mr. Charles Jonas , who has boon named by President Cleveland aa the consul at Prague , In Bohemia. Mr. Jonas Is re garded M the most prominent Bohomlan in the United States. Ho Is about fcr.y- five years of ago , and is the editor and proprietor of the oldest and moat Inlla- entlal Bohomlan paper in thla country TheSlavif , published at Racine , Wis consin. Mr. Jonaa loft his native country about the year 1859 , as a political cxllo and apont two years In London. He came to this country In 18G2 , and at once took charge of The Slavic , which was then a republican paper. In the Grooloj campaign , however , Mr. Jonas joined the democratic party , and haa over [ einc < continued In that political faith. Foi eight years ho has boon a member of tin Wisconsin democratic state centra committee , and some years ago hi served ono term in the lower honao o ' the legislature of that state. Hi waa a prominent member of the las Wisconsin sonata , and was a colleague o , Col. Vllas In that body. During thi Franco-Prussian war Mr. Jonas vialtoi his native country for the purpose o having his political disabilities removed and at the same time ho wrote nnmer ous letters to various papers whih attracted tractod widespread attention. Ho la li every way admirably fitted for the posl tlon to which ho has bacn assigned , am hla appointment haa boon received wit ; great favor by his countrymen in th United States , It being the first notabl presidential appointment awarded to an roan of Bohomlan nativity , ifd THE ballot Is the prerogative of th a BovcroigritVotor , who Is responsible to ac 10 body but himself and his own conscience When the sovereign voter delegate O authority to a representative ho Is on titled to know how that trust la dli ,0 < charged. This is why every vote give in legislatures or in congress is a matte of record. In our legislature not eve a page can bo elected except by an ope and recorded vote by each memboi There is no good reason why the cit council should dodge behind a ballot i voting for any officer. Our citizens waite ! to know , and ara entitled to know ho every member of the council votes , an for whom In casts hla voto. The oloi rc tlon of a city clerk will bo teat of loyalty and good faith on tl part of republican members wr stand pledged and in honor bound I elect a republican clerk. Whllo tl charter decs not expressly rcqn'ra th : the election is to ba the recorded vote < each member , the fact that It does ni specify election by ballot clearly In plies that the clerk is to be voted for J the same manner as the council voti ; upon appointments mada by the niayi and subject to confirmation. Any n publican member who attempts to cue n coal hla intontlons through a secret balli 30 will natorally bo regarded aa a trader an r. as a auoak. 30 Mil. BOYD seems very anxious to ha : 10u Mr. Jowett elected city clerk. Wh - u- does not Mr. Boyd employ Mr. Jowo 8 as his private soretary ? Wo know thi ' My. Boyd cares nothing for the mayor salary. Ho can lot Jowott draw tl 10 whole $1,800 a year , or as much there * as ho ia willing to accept. It is unrei sonablo for Mr. Boyd to dictate to a n 10 publican council that they must oloi Mr. Jewott. The city clerk Is strict ] the clerk of the council , The mayor hi ne authority ever him , and the oflico ; not ono of the mayor's perquisites. Whi , would bo thought of a governor , wb would undertake to dictate to a loglsh tare whom It should elect aa il clorki ? Mayor Boyd has no moi business to Influence the olec tlon of city clerk than the counc has to dictate to him whom be nlioul employ as private secretary or treasure > of tha opera houao. The clerkship i 18 purely a confidential appointment on th part of the counciland the oounoll boln ° . two-thirds republican it ia nnreaaonabl that at thla stage the republicans wonl id elect a democratic city clerk. Even o : ' business principles a change la doinando ° for reasons which wo need not give a * thia time. Mr. Boyd should not ask th council to do what everybody knowa h would not do in his own private buil GENERAL GRANT has been so often prc nouncod so near death's door that th doctors are naturally slowtoacknowlcdg bat his present improved condition i likely to prove moro than a temporar ; relief.

Tha Importance- presernng our for ests Is with every year recognized by an increasing number of people , and no surer meant for spreading abroad a roa- pcct for tro a could have been devised than the setting apart of a special d y for tree planting , to bo known as "Arbor day. " The early American settler was the arch enemy of the forest. Ho waa compelled to bo so from the circumstances of his position. The entire aurfaco o" the cla-MlaslssIppl states waa covered with trees primeval forest surrounded the whlto span in all directions ; to plant a patch of corn or sow a Cold of wheat ho muat make a clearing. The forcet too , concealed the Indian , and , while it stood In proximity to the settlers cabin , enabled the wily fee to creep upon him unawares. Hence an American colonist became primarily a hewer-down of thick trees , a man who carried upon his shoulder the great American ax , and kept it sharp. - Probably the first colonists In all coun tries , though unpossessed of improved outting.toola , were great troe-doatroycrs. Ancient authors lot us know that Asia , Minor , Greece , Thrace , Macedonia , Italy and Spain were once thickly for ested , and poQsoased a moro fertile soil and molator climate than they now havo. , Even Northern Africa waa onca a land of exuberant vegetation. But man needs fields , not forests , to reside in , and In the days of imperfect civilization ( scarcely ever yet ) ho deemed that to cut down a grove was to gain a field , and that to clear away a forest was an act ai beneficial as to drain a swamp. This clearance con tinued until vast regions became deforested , the regular distribu tion of the rainfall changed Into a capricious one , too much wet in some districts , too littjo In other * , and everywhere ( where trees were absent ) an alternation of drought with torrents and floods. Man was slow to learn the lesson. Many nations learned it not , and , In consequence , sank in numbers to moro tribes. All the nations that have 1Q swept ever Western Aala can bo found there yet , but they do not Increase ba- cause their soil was struck by the action of their ancestors with the curse of bar renness , and they do nothing to s'ay the curse. Central and Northern Europe tIn are still lands of traoa. Tree destruction In waa rife In them until comparatively to- il- cent years , but the total destruction ol ilid the forests was prevented (1) ( ) by the idh ! feudal system , with its preserves and parka , and the gonlna for hunting 10 which possessed the peoples ; and (2 ( lo In later years by tbo practical obaorva tlon that land denuded of trees became iy barren , and by the gradual growth of tret preservation and tree culture. Tin various European societies have yean 10 ago cried a halt ia tree destruction , and have replanted largo acres that were once denuded. It Is now recognized that though a wood Is not a wheat field or t cs garden , the two latter owe to the formei 1- shelter from wind e tor ma and cqualiza tion of moisture , and that man and his domestic ! animals are also dependent foi their health upon the presence of trees it or their vicinity. In England the hawthorr an hedge , with its row of oaks , elma an : 311 ashes , mingles woodland with arable lane in a way that Is both pleasant to the oyi and beneficial to the soil. Last of the lands to learn the lesson c Innt forestry , wo of the United Stales musl nt learn It. Commencing on the eaateri seaboard and In those -western statei id whore trees are scarce , arboricultnro gradually take hold of the entire nation and even the lumbering commnnltici who hive hitherto looked npon a fores ho only as something oat of which to cat at ho much ES poaalblo in ai little space of timi as possible , and who have recklessly do to strayed the yonng growth in their rudt heat methods of getting out the older , nil at either learn wisdom or bo tangh of It by the head of the law , adminis tered by the roprfsentativo of a publli lot too enlightened to permit ono of thi greatest sources of American wealth t < in bo watted in a coDscIonolces struggle fo tichoa.

Ac lie cording to an account given in the NOT York Timoi the cit makes a good mothei iof for chickens. It says : An unusual sigh sa- that would have filled the expansive bo aom of P. T. Barnnm with delight attracted lot tractod a crowd recently around the ahonr window of No. 83 Liberty street , where c large number of eggs are being hatchet an in Incubators. About half a dozen new Is ly-hatched chickens had been placed ir at the window when a fat black cat jumped lightly ever the wire screen and hndod It D0 the midst of the brood. The chicks wore not afraid of the cat nor did the cat show iU any inclination to gobble them up. Ou re the contrary , aho mewed lovingly tc them , juat as a cat does when calling hot o- yonng , laid down , and when the chickens beqati mejtlinp ; in her soft , warm fut Id puaiy curled herself np , licked the rumpled feathers of the chicks smooth er is with her rough little tongue , and" sang them a InlUby In the form of * > happy , 10 contented parr.Vhon the chickens had sufficiently warmed themselves they be gan running all ever their adopted mother , "peeping" in her oars and peak ing at her eyes and tail. The c t pretended not to notice them for a while , but finding that they persist- oi aho got up , shook heriolf , and indulged in a gambol in the window , ftiehtened the chickens , lay down again , and gath ered her adopted children again to her bosom. "Hit Tommy , como'n seede olrcus ; boats Barnura ter blazes , " yelled n bootblack to a newsboy who wai' pats- log by. The newsboy alluded to looked on with eyes and mouth wide open , and exclaimed : "Well , dla ia do best racket I ever seen , ' Saveral of the epectatori walked down into the store and spoke to the proprietor. The cat had been around the store for six months past , and , when the firat chickens were hatched the cat would look wistfully at them , but did not moleat thorn. Then ihe became bolder , and approached them , einelling thorn all over. Gradually aho became moro familiar , aril lapped the water out of the same amicer from which the chickens - ens drank. Ono morning tha proprietor , on entering the store , found the cat lying In the sawdust , performing all the m to- rlkl functions that a quadruped conld dote to Itttlo bipeds , and the chickens them selves showed great attachment to her. On taking np ono or moro of the birds the cat showed as much concern aa though they wcro her own kittens , and kept mowing and begging until the were put back.

Mr Boyd may no doubt ba a grand man , un usually well qualified for mayor , ye , there are scores of republican men equally ; n well qualified and far more clcsurvln of the support of the Republi , can. The Republican was no justlGod in stepping aside from its well worn boat to support a democrat oven in democratic Omaha , for it is n ork Ing for a democratic prestige that no 10 publican should ever work for.
