THE Saturday cl ua waked up the Sunday bolt line anaconda nufliclcntly to make It cross Eighteenth street. TUK moat IntoroBtlng circus performance - anco of tbo season la lublo to take place In the Illinois legislature this wcok. j THE revised railway edition of the old testament according to the Omaha bolt line muugora commando the anaconda to rest six days and then put In a whole week's work on Sunday. THE bait line , like the anaconda , sloops through the winter and wakes up In the prlng. Having crossed Eighteenth street wo suppose the bolt line anaconda will toke another long roat. SECUETARY ENDICOTX will find the Howdy West nearly as civilized as Now England. Nebraska has imported a great many of its "rowdies" from bean-eating Boston and other cultured cities of th ° east , and wo are not ashamed of thorn. TUB latest batch of now postmasters contains the name of Mr. J. 0. Morgan , who has boon appointed to take charge of the postofiico at Kearney , Nob. Mr. Morgan , who was formerly editor of the Council Bluffs Globe , moved to Kearney about two years ago , and for a fresh arrival ia doing quite troll. THE English government proposes to Bond a medical commission to Spain to In vestigate the newly discovered system oi Inoculation to prevent cholera. Our gov ernment ought to follow suit at once. If the discovery is really a valuable one , every physician In the country ought to La afforded facilities for obtaining a knowledge of It at an early day. THE alleged dynamiters , Cunningham and Burton , have boon convicted of trea son and felony , and have boon sentenced to panal servitude for life. Both prison- on assorted their Innocence , and there are many people who will doubt theli guilt. If they were innocent , however , It does seem rather strange that the ; could not provo that they had no connec tion with the dynamlto plot. In all probability justice has not been misled In thta case. ' . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - Tin ; Donate commit too that proposes tc investigate the Oklahoma land qucstioc and other matters In the Indian territory la hardly composed of the right men fci this important work. Two of the mom ' i bars are known to bo altogether too Intl mate and fiiendly with some of the cattle kings who have obtained leases of vasl tracts of land from the Indians at i nominal rental , and It Is suspected tba' they are interested In some of the blf deals that havotikon place In the Indlat territory during the lest two or throi years. Wo venture the prediction tba the report of that committee will bo i whitewash affair for the benefit of thi cattle men. An attempt will very llkel ; bo put forth to make It appear that tb Indians are well satisfied with the aval on of land-leasing as well as the prlcoa paid and that everything Is just as it ohouli bo. . THE Omaha Bolt Line Riilway company ir pany is at Its old tricks. During Satnr day night and Sunday It put a large fore : of "men at work In extending Its trad across Eighteenth street. This was dente to steal a march on the property owner and the city in eecurlog a tight of wa ! ; across Eighteenth street without going i the trouble and formallly of lawfully oh tnlnlng such privilege through the clt ; council. The company chose Sunday fo > this work so that no injunction from th courts could bo obtained to atop It There certainly ought to bo someway o preventing corporations from vlolatinj ' law and acquiring by force what a prlvat Individual could not take without com milling felony. There Is no doubt whatever over that if the belt line has any pnbll thoroughfare to cross and the objoo is properly explained to the city conncl t will secure Us right of way on condi tlons that are fair to the city and to th railroad company , but from the beglnnlu , the bolt line company has shown a dlspo eltlon to play the brigand and aelzo prop erty that docs not belong to It and t occupy public thoroughfares ivlthou legal authority. It has extended it lines on several occasions across street either at midnight or on Sandayswhei the courts could not be appealed to. It I noanomoly that our courts are closed an Inoperative on 62 days in the year , am that upon those days corporations mi ; commit trespass and other wrongs with out any fear of fte law. The bolt Hn may become a valuable auxiliary to ou railroad system , and we htvo no dlspoal tlon to obstruct Us extension , TVo Insist how over , that its manager * should con duct their affairs in obodienc3 to hw , If they want any extension througl the public streets let them make the prop er opplleatlons to the mayor and'council , OMAHA AS A PORT OF ENTRY. ' Omaha Is now a port of delivery , but It should bo made a port cf entry for the Immediate transportation of dutiable goods. Tharo are three chases of ports. Thoao on the seacoast are ports of entry , and being such they are always points of appraisement. Those in the interior are ports of dolivory. Then there are cer tain cities throne hout the country known as "I. T. " ports , for the Immediate trans portation of dutiable goods. Now , whrro a lot of Imported goods como directed to a port of delivery , which is not an "I. T. " port , they must remain at the port of entry until they have boon appraised in their turn , unless there Is some local pressure to have them appraitod out of turn. The rrault of this naturally is that the interior ports have their goods greatly delayed at sea-port towns. So far as Omaha is concerned her importing merchants have frequently ordered goods for the spring trade , and owing to delay In appraisement at the port of entry they have not boon received until midsummer - summer , and goods ordered for the fall trade have not reached hero until mid- winter. Wo know of largo shipments for the holiday trade which wore landed In Now York In October and November , yet the pressure of business waa so great as to prevent their apDrolscmont and shipment until January or February , the result being a actions less to the importIng - Ing merchants. Such delays are simply ruinous. It Is a matter that effects not oi.ly Omaha but several other Impor tant Interior cities , and the question has been how to remedy the evil. In June , 1880 , an aot was passed by congress - gross giving the r'ght cf immediate trans portation of dutiable goods to largo porta of delivery throughout the Unltd States , and among thorn was Omaha. In this aot there was a proviso that thoio ports should bo made "I. T. " ports If they had an appraisement officer who could appralao without creating additional expense to the government. The treasury depart ment , however , chlmod that by reason of this proviso it had the right to exclndo from the "I. T. " provision any of the ports named in the act , and acting under this claim the secretary of the treasury excluded nearly thirty ports , including Omaha , from the bsnefit of Immediate transportation. Upon learning of this unfortunate and unjust condition of affairs Sen ator Manderaon set to work nearly two years ago to Induce the treasury department to restore Omaha as an "I. * T. " port. The solicitor of the treasury , however , decided that the department bad no such power. Thereupon Senator Manderaon sought to remedy the matter by legislation. Notwithstanding some considerable opposition on the part of eastern senators , the bill passed the sen ate making Omaha on "I. T. " port. This 1 bill , on account of a lack of time , failed In the house. However , In order to ob tain the desired result , Senator Mander- aon asked a ruling of Attorney-General Biowstor aa to whether the treasury de. partmont had the right to make "I. T. " ports by execntlvo order. The attorney- general coincided with Senator Man- derson on this proposition , overrul ing the solicitor of the treasury. Tbo senator Is accordingly now making every effort to have this order is sued , and It la hoped that ho will succeed , aa it will boa great ( benefit to the mer chants of Omaha and her neighboring cities. The objection to Its Issuance seems to come from Now York largely , for of course the result of establishing "I. T. " porta throughout the country ' will bo to decrease the number of ap praising officers In porta of entry. The present system simply makes the large cities of the west play the part of suburbs to Now York. The Mow Yorkers claim that we have no export appraisers , bul this is answered by the fact that the sur veyor of customs and his deputy coulc make the appralecment by oiling in the assistance of a local expert at very little expense to decide the matter. These appra'B3monta ' can all bo made wlthoni placing another official here. The gov ernment would got all that It Is entitled i- to under the tariff acts , and the interloi r- merchants would stand some show o e competing with these of seaport cition. k LO IN behalf of the cltlzana of Omaha we rs extend a hearty welcome to the eccrotar ; of war , Mr. Endlcott. The metropolis of Nebraska has for moro than fifteen years boon the headquarters cf the mll- r Itary department of the Platlo , and the army and Hi officers have contributoi 10 10t. largely to the business and social welfare t. t.'S t.f f of the city. As citizens of ono commor country wo take pride in extending the 'S to hospitalities to a member of Prcsldonl i- Olovoland'a cabinet , whoso position en ablos him to become useful to this ecctloi lo in moro ways than ono. While many ol Jt the old cities of the east perhaps have moro refinement and polish , Secretary Endlcott will find Omaha possessed ol more pluck and pnsh to the squara Inch than In any ether city of Ita elza on the continent. THE cable announces the dangerous ill nets of Victor Hugo. As ho Is ovci eighty-two years of ago It Is not like ! ; that ho will recover. This famoui Frenchman , who Is universally boforct by his countrymen , has had an oventfn career. He received an excellent educa tion , although spending much of thi time of his ( youth In roving througl France , Spain and Italy. Ho early ex hibited a taste for literature , and deter mined to m&ko It hta life pursuit. He wrote and published a number of novels and dramas between the years 1823 and 1840 , all of them meeting with great pop ularity , as did alto two volumes of lyric poomi. He was given the credit of ore. atlnganew literary eohool In France , and upon the appearance of his poems , 10 waa acknowledged the greatest cf Hv- ng French poets. Louis XVIII gave him a pension as early as 1823 , when his literary efforts first began to attract at tention. Louts Philippe created him a pcor of France In 1845 , and In 1818 ho was elected a representative of the city of Paris both to the constitutional and the legislative assembly. Napoleon banished htm from Franco In 1851 , and while an oxllo on the Island of Guernsey ho added now laurels to his literary fame. Upon the establishment of the republic ho re turned to Paris , and was received with great demonstrations cf joy by his hosts of admiring friends. Of late yosra ho haa lived a quiet 1 fo , and has written nothing. OUR SCHOOL FINANCES. The financial sflairs of the public school system of Omaha are In excellent condition. Wo do not believe that there is another city In the country that can make a bettor showing. The board of edu cation can not only pay off the $100,000 high school ton per cent bonds , but also 11 other indebtedness , amounting to bout $50,000 , this year. The bonds , lowovor , are not duo until a year icnco , and it Is not likely that such gilt- dgod securities TV ill bo surrendered by ho holders btforo they ore duo unlesi ho fall Interest la paid them. So It will > o soon that In ono year our public ohool system will bo entirely free from lobt upon Its property , which includes ourtcon school buildings and sltea , amounting In value to nearly $700,000. The gratifying condition of our school inaccos Is duo to the high license ystcm. This fact cannot bo lenied , and yet there are some people who would do away with the revenue rom the liquor dealers simply because it comes from such a nourca. Under the ilgh license system the Omaha schools now receive $134,000 a year from the Iquor dealers. The other sources of rev enue are the police court fines amounting o about $25,000 , and the apportionment and of about $20,000. The total Income .his year will amount to nearly $200- 000. With this annual Income wo can not only pay our current school expenses , ) ut have a handsome surplus which can DO used In employing moro first class : eachers and In building substantial school donees in answer to the demands of the growth of the city. The time IB not distant when this clly , with Its con stantly Increasing school revenues will DO able1 , without aid from the state , to establish , In connection with the high school , a first-class normal school for the ; rainlnc ; of our teachers. This has been done In Cleveland , and It can bo done In Dmahn. A collegiate course can also in time be established which , In a few years , might bo made to equal that of the Boston Latin echool. All these thinge can bo accomplished with money , and Omaha will have no lack of funds for such purposes hereafter. THE people of New York city will have to submit for some time longer to the extortionate prices and the poor gas oi the Consolidated gas company. The gat consumers association made a vigorous effort to have a bill pasted by the legisla ture to regulate not only the price , but tc compel the company to furnish a better quality of gas. Everybody supposed thai the bill would pass as there was no ap parent opposition , but jnst'at the critical moment the monopoly lobbyists bribed t sufficient number of the members , at c cost of $1,000 to $2,000 , to defeat the measure. This money was not paid , bul promised. This is where the lobbyist ! displayed great shrewdness. Wher the gentlemen who had sold out the psoplo called for their checks the ] awere Informed that they had not yo fully earned their money , aa the do fcated bill would immediately reappaa ; in a now shape , and they must beat 1 before they could get any cash. Thi bribe-takers returned to the legislative halls and when tha now bill came uj they promptly defeated It. Thus the gas monopoly escaped the expense o : buying the legislature a cccond time The gas-oansumera' association haa givot up hi disgust any further attempt to boa ! the consolidated monopoly. Gas stud is quoted firmsr and IB taking an upwarc tendency. The consumeru of course wll ! have to make up to the monopoly what II cost to defeat the will of the people. FISH COMMISSIONER MAY haa returned from Washington to Fremont , where he haa resumed business at the old stand , So far as hoard from , his political hatohcrj has not spawned out very well.

The aldermen then mot ai a board of health , and divided up into committees for ench ward , to look alter cleaning up the city and to file complaints , nnd the marshal WAS in > tructcd to enforce nil tulcs of the board. The board of health then adjourned. A council meeting vns then called. A committee was instructed to prenaro im icrced statement of the facts in regard to Mr. Vincent's contract on the Indian crpek tower , 10 that no questions in dinputo might bo re. erred to Homo judge for decision. The onth of odica of Capt , Llchcr , aa chief f the fire department , was presented and placed on file , Licutennnt-Govornor Manning presented , ho oath of of lice of A.

The mayor stated that the Inw re quired that the bonds of thu clerk must bs tiled with the mayor , aud that they had boon presented to him , and ho had refused to ti- coivo them until the present controversy waa over. Tbo governor desired to have the minutes show this tender was mndo nnd re fused by the mayor. lie asked also that the council approve the bonds. A motion to approve the bonds was carried by four to two. Aldermen Geiso nnd Mynster votlns nay. The eamo record was made iu rccritrd to Alderman lecher. Governor Manning then demanded that the old clerk's office expiring with the election nnd qualification of his succeesor , that the new clerk take his teat and assume the du ties. ties.Alderman Alderman Sidontopf moved that the now clerk take his place. Tha mayor declared ho would not entertain any such motion , rnd would not Lo bulldozed Alderman Mynstcr moved to adjourn. No second. Then followed some talk , nnd Intimations of having an arbitratloifwero rand * . The mayor in the meantime completed his \eto of the clerk's election , and filed it. lie than notified the council that il the move was to create n discord he would call on elx men , whom ho had selected as special po lice , and whom ho would call upon to protect the room. Governor Manning gave dne notice that ho could not bo intimated , and that ho meant no discord or riot. The mayor nslted the governor if it was no ! nn ovldenco of disorderlmess to have the new clerk standing at the corner of the table ready to jump into the chair if the motion was carried , Tbo governor eald ho was glad to bnvo the mayor thus recoguze Mr. JDalrymplo as clerk The mayor lie Is your clerk , not mine. Governor Manning then continued , nnc denied the idea of the mayor being able to veto an election. He did not care whethe the mayor'- ) veto was read , or not road , votei up or voted down , The mayor said what vexed him was tha the now c.erk should prepare to jump into the Beat of the clerk. Governor Manning Eaid that Mr. Dalrym- j.le wan oot going to grab anything , Alderman Siedentopf then explained thane no had called Mr. Dalrymple up there t < whisper to him about something else , ant that accounted for hla getting BO near to the clerk's chair. This explanation caused much laughter and made the mayor's alarm and his provisioi of six special policemen seem ridiculous. The mayor's amended veto declaring th election of Mr. Dalrymplo void , was the read. read.Tho The vote was called on the action of Ait Siedentopf , that Dalrymplo take his plac as clerk. The mayor suggested that if the counci wanted to be fair th ° y should leave it to or bitiation. He would have it to one republ can and one democratic lawyer of his own choosing , and tha ccutcil to cheese Gov Manning. Aid. biedentopf thought that the mayor i choosing two out of the three was getting th big end of the handle. Aid. Mynstcr paid ho was not afraid of th law , but waa afra d of "four to two " Alderman Siedentopf thought it queer tha tva men should rule tour. Governor Manning then showed up the law fully and clearly. The mayor interrupted him by intimating that it wan not fair to have Mr. Dalrympl represented by on attorney , while the incum bout clerk , Mr , Troutman , had no attorney present , The governor continued to show the mayo that he could veto nothing but an ordinanc or resolution , and that no resolution was re quired in order to elect a clerk , and that then was nothing for the mayor to veto. H urged that the council at or.co declar who in the opinion of a majority of the conn cil waa the clerk. In regards to the problem of the meaning of "two-thirds" majority , th governor declared plainly th&t it meant jus two-thirds of the council , and he did not carte to spend time in such foolishness Alderman Shugart eald that the city attor neybad nd vised the council that theycouli postpone the election from time to time , am that no motion was necessity. He called oi tbo city attoiney for corroboration. The city attorney iu response declared tha under the statutes the city council could flee a clerk at any time , uud corroborated th alderman's s'atetnont. ' The citv attorney then proceeded to score ] the republican member * tor ming their powe for political purposes. Ho claimed that they were elected by independent citi/.uca , and were acting recreant iu being partisan , Alderman Bennett denied the charge o partisans hip. They had given the chief o the fire department to the democrat' , Alderman Mynaler declared that the conn cil had acted unfair by the old clerk , by past poning the election , and giving him to under stand that ho should hold over , The mayor suggested that they should hold Mr , Troutman us clerk , as ho was an impor t.int'wltnoss in nuny cases against the city caning up in the present term of court The city attorney thought that evontnally Troutman would lia\u to get out , and h might as well retire , and let the aldermo take the responsibility. It was chareod that thi four republica aldermen held secret caucuses and did no invite the democratic duet in , Aldorma Siedentopf replied that last year ha was th only republican , and he waa not invited int the democratic caucuses. The motion to seat LJalrympIo as clerk wan at last voted on , resulting in the old four t two. two.Alderman Alderman Siedentopf moved that th mayor's veto bo placed on file , on the groum that it was on matters over which he had n veto power , Alderman Mynster moved to amend , tha the veto ba recaived and voted un. The am endment was loat by four to two , The mayor decided that the veto was sustained. ( Hiesea and laughter. ) Alderman Siedentnpf ralced a point of or der. It was over ruled and nn appeal taken. The vote stood , two to sustain and four to over rule , Tha motion to place the vote on file was carried by four to two , "Adjournment was then taken until 4 o clock thli afternoon. The new clerk did not attempt to take his seat last night , or make a formal demand for the books and papers , After the council had adjourned there wore intimations given quietly that the mayor'd declaration that he bad sworn in six special policemen , and that they were in the room ready to servo his bidding , might pet him into trouble. It was hinted that an attempt wouM be made to impeach him for thu < trying to intimidate the action of the council. In fact the war wsgea hotter. The Modern Ocean Steamer. St. Louis Republican. List winter and the firet part of the present spring furnished more stormy and dangerous weather on the North At- antlo than seamen have known for many o rs and some passages acrois wf ro the ougbost that votctan teamen over mot lib. The rough weather sot in In ) ocombcr and continued for five months. t is not entirely through with yot. The Germanic , a ttout , good steamer of the Vhlte Star line , sailed Into New York n ow days ago , alter battling with the most terrific storm she had over cncoun- ored. A heavy sea ( truck the ship on er bow and completely overwhelmed icr swopping from stern to stern and caving two foot of water in the cabin. ho Helvetia , a Belgian steamer , was knocked to pieces In tlio Ice In the Gulf > f St. Lawrence and sunk last week , and \ steamer that arrived at Now York from ilvorpool Tuesday ropoits having tailed or miles along a huge wall of Ice. But while nearly every tegu'ar ' steamer jotweon Now York and Europe has on- ountercd stormy and difllcult weather , ind some of them hive met with mishaps lot ono first-class utoaincr has been lost. Same have had their rudders broken , omo their sides stove In and their cabins Inundated , and seme have boon lalf turned over In the sea , but all have weathered the tempests and got into part. The 'act is a tribute to the admir- blostjlocf ship-building tint prevails i this day. There Is no useful art that nodorn civil z it Ion shows higher rlnmphs in tbau the construction and equipment of Iron ocean steamers. They are nearly Invulnerable In n storm. Paddlewheels dle-wheels have gone out of fashion , nnd the propeller , being under water , is comparatlvdy out of danger ; and even If ; bo steamer rolls over on bor tide , she , if well balaUod , right again nnd coop on her course. A first-late Iron steamer Is a symbol of ocean supremacy , and the nation that builds and owns the t of thorn must stand at the head ol ho powers of the earth. Improved btock , Western Agriculturalist. What a wonderful revolution In atnck raising en the western farms as eomparoo with 25 years ego. Then the masses ol 'armors bied the native scrub atock , and although they bed but little expense , ; hey made but little money. They jeered at their moro enterprising neigh- Dors who pioneered the Introduction ol the Improved breeds of stock , just as a [ Hojudico has fought the progress of our Improved farm machinery , and Indoec the Improvements In manufacturing ma chinery and on every department of our naticn's progress. These western states constitute the oat stock breeding ground of the world. In climate , in soil , in grass , in ; raln , and iu its great boundless extent , it has no equal in all the world , while oui farmers are fctock farmers. Grass Is becoming coming a stundard crop , and our gialn is more profitably marketed through gooo stock than In any other way. Ever ] farmer raises moro or lesa stock , and with the increased value of our lands we have Increased the value of our stock. W < have eagerly secured the best animals o all the best breeds of stock throughon the older countries of Europe. Our enterprising importers and breed ers are now liberally encouraged , ane are taxed to their utmost capacity to sup ply the rapidly increasing demand for breeding animals for the farmers. Ev ery farmer Is grading up h's ' horses ane cattle , while the hoga and sheep are now gtneially of some of the establishce breeds. In many localities the cattle are all grades of the Shorthorns , Herefords fords or Polled Argus , and in the deir ; districts the ro are many grades of th Holbteins and Jerseys. As there are many counties where only those full blocd bulls are mod , there the Bern' bull is a thing of the past. Thoio hlgl grades are eagerly bought by the feeder and shippers at high prices , and they make money with them. A prominent Shorthorn breeder in Iowa , having pasture likely to go to waste , and not being able to got grad cattle of suitable age , went further vea and bought a lot ot common cattle. B pastured them through the summer ant fed them three months on corn , ane when eold the tail brought more than th top , and both ends lost him money. Ho baa concluded hereafter to make white pasture of his grass if ho cannot fin < grades or thoroughbreds to eat it In the summer. Thus it ia the scrubs have been crowd ed back by the improved breeds giving tbo better financial returns , and wltl the improved breeds comes moro grass Uood grass and the growtby grades give the oisieat and highest prosperity to the farmer , and the higher the grades the greater tbo profits , with an Increased ra tlo to thoroughbreds. From the report r f the department o agilculturo for 1881 , the percentage c iocreaeoi value cf high grade cattle it the rential western states of Ohio , Ken lucky , Indiana , UHco's ' , Iowa , Mlssoui Knns-is end Nebraska , was 40 par cent estimated January 1 , 1881 , and the 1m prcvcment during the pact year Is much greater than any previous year ; wo would place the Increased value at full ] 50 per cent by reason of the introduction of the improved bioeds. This report give tbo average vnluo o ; improvement throughout the Unitee States as 35 per cent , therefore , cf the present value of eattlo , § 1,100,715,70:1 : the unimproved valuation would be § 819,203,789 , nnd the value of the Improvement provemont , § 287,451,910 , , added to the value of our eattlo by the Improvee breeds , This is an argument In favor o grading up , and the Important feature la this § 187,000,000 is on the profit side as it costs but little more to raise a gooe thoroughbred or high grade that matures oirly and sells at the highest marke prloa , than It docs to raleo a scrub. Lethe the farmers of every community breoi only thoroughbred bulls and that per cent can bo increased to 100 per cent and what la true of cat lo is also true o our hcraes and other atock.

CHICAGO , May 18 , Justice Harlan , ot the United States supreme court , and Jud o Gresham , of the United States circuit court gluing as an appelate court , begin the hear ing this morning of the motion for writ ol error in the Mackln-Gallagber election friui conspiracy c ses. The points raised in the argument do not involve the guilt or inno cence of the convicted parties , but the regu larity of the proceeding * in the United Stnlt-a district court , where the conviction was se cured , THE HUBBARD TRAGEDY , 'rack ' Williams , a Braftmau , Kl O ? Tramps Yesterday , Us Murderers Arrested Particulars of the Affair. Frnk Williams , a brakeman on the Chicago , St Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha road , was ehot and H'lcd ' about 10 o'clcck rosterday morning by n tramp. The ragcely occurred at Hubbard station , aboul 110 miles north of Omaha. From artlcnlars as at present received , it ap- icprs that two tramps wore stealing their way through to Omaha In a freight car and weto put off by Williams , whereupon ouo of them drew a revolver and shot him n the head. IIo lived but a very short time. Immediately after the shooting tha two rimps ran toward the river. The ahotifl' of Dakota Oily was telegraphed for , and quickly arrived on the scene with a jnsso of men. Shortly before Conductor Kin- cald , coming down cn train No. 1 , saw two strange characters in the march near llubbard. Ho noticed at the time that their actions were highly suspicious , lie did not think eerlously of the Incident , tiowovor , until ho arrived In Hubbard and hoard cf the murder. The alarm was qu'ckly given and a special train waa sent out from Hnbbard , having en board n number of railroad men and citizens. Arriving at the marsh the two suspects were speedily surrounded and captured , without any resistance on their part. They were placed temporarily in the Dakota City i ll and wore taken last night to the jail at Hubbard. Upon In- ten oration the two men confessed the ast of murder. The t xcitemont in the town and county IB Intense , and it is not Improbable that alynchlrg episode will furnish a retributive feature to the traaody. Very little is knowu about the ante cedents and relatives of the murdornd man. Williams.

After an experience cf moro than ten years the people of Pennsylvania know to their sorrow that the Constitution which they ordained cannot enforce Itself , They have discovered , too , that the Constitu tion cannot bo enforced unless true men ara sent to the Legislature for the pur pose. The dt feats which they have ex perienced thii winter In the Legislature they have brought on themselves by their endlessness In the choke cf their Repre sentative ! . In anticipation of this stnig- glo to enforce the Constitution agaliut Inequalities In freight charges the rail road corporation managers wore alert , vigilant and unlttdby a common purpoeo , while the publio , whether In Us capacity of ttcckholder , thlpper of freights or con sumer , was divided or took a languid In terest in the question that to nearly con cerned its Interests , The honest voter * were amusing themselves Iu the sham bat lo of the ballots between Republicans and DeinocntB and the corporation man- aners carried elf the piiz ? . Ic wai urth- Ing to them whether the candidate for the LfgHlatuto was a Democrat or a Repub lican , provided always that they avcurod a railroad man. As a result of the activ ity of those having a deep s ako In per petuating the abuses and iniquities of railroad management on thu one hand , and of publio dlvloione , indlii'eionco and neglect on the other , there ii a compact and formidable body of Representatives in the Legislature threatening with defeat cvety reasonable and just mocBuro for enforcing the injunctions of the Consti tution f gainst Inequalities in freight char ges. Tlio emptiuuts of the f arty sham la witnessed in the spectacle of Democrats' and Republicans leashed together by the simo corporation string , and hunting lown ovoty measure to protect the public ntcrcsts. Thesa Representatives , lately llvldcd by imaginary polit'oil ' lines , have icon drmn together by a stronger tlo , han party , and ewe allegiance to a moro [ lotcnt authority. They have thrown off > ho party badge so convenient wbon can- lldates , and their constituonto , who beloved < loved they were decline ; a Republican or a Democrat , rub their honest eyes and discover In the yeas ami nays that they were only sending to the L gttUtnro un der ono name or the other a corporation lotvltor.
