[ ruoM tin : IIKE'S LIXCOLX i A now railroad company has filed its nrllclcs of incorporation with the sccro- tary of state , and from the fact that the incorporntors are in Utah it tends to cast n shroud of mystery over the matter as to what are the intents , alms nnd purposes of the builders on paper in this now No- braskn lino. The names of the Incorpor ate nro not familiar iu railroad circles without they might bo out in tlio region of the Central Pacific , nnd it will remain for future solution just how much reality there is in the movement. The articles of incorporation recite that in accordance with the compiled statutes of the fitato of Nebraska the company incorporate under the name of tlio Nebraska & \ \ cstern railway , the termini of the road being at : t point near the town of Covington , in Dakota county , and at a point on the western boundary line of the stale of Nebraska between the forty-second and forty-third parallels of lati tude. 7Ktssing through the coun ties of Dakota , Wayne , Cedar , Knox , Pierce , Antelope , Holt , Wheeler , Garlield , Brown , Loiip , Bhtino , Cherry , Sheridan , Dawes.lChoycuno and Sioux , ormtcli of them as tlio main line and branches may be conducted therein. The amount of capital stock is 0,000,000 , di vided into shares of $100 each , and the incorporntors are Ovundo J. Ilollestor , Maurice W. Kalghn , John I. Packard , Donald McLean and James D. Negroes , the acknowledgement being taken in the city of Suit Lake , Utah , bctoro C. 0. Wfiittermoro , a notary public. Articles of consolidation of the Union Pacific branches known as the Omaha & Republican Valley line nnd the Blue Val ley railway have been filed with the sec retary of Mate , the consolidation remov ing tlio Blue Valley road from the records - ords and merging both lines into the Omaha & Republican. Valley road. The iiunips of Charles Francis Adams and J'Jislui Atkins appear upon the articles. A FIGHT AT CHUItClI. The Salvation Army now holding meet ings in this city have been subjected to a great many indignities during the past week at the hands of the loafers and biiiiin who attend their services purposly to raise a row. Sunday night a drunken man. with : v retinue of followers , were at the meeting , und when they had their disturbance well inaugurated the special policeman ordered them to desist and proceeded to put the drunken man out. The friends ol the disturber rallied to his Bupport , and it looked as if blood would How , but the policeman , who was armed with u heavy c\nc ; , cracked ono of them over the head and the rest had a wholesome - some fear of the same treatment. After tin1 man had been ejected lie amused him- pelf by n llow 01 oaths and obscene Ian- en ago which fully exemplified his char acter. SENATOR SPHICK'S EXPERIENCE. Senator S prick , of Washington county , during his winter's residence in Lincoln , has rooms at Eighteenth and M streets. Sunday evening about 0 p. m. he was out lor a walk nnd upon returning to his room in the dusk of tbo evening lie was confronted by a stranger who was busy going througn the wardrobe nud per- honnl effects of the senator in search of liis per diem nnd mileage. Tlio burglar , when asked what he wanted , at once showed light and drew a revolver. The senator , however , hail not been through : i senatorial fight to bo frightened by a common , everyday burglar , _ so ho closed at once with the thief and hand-to-hand ensued ii - - struggle for a few minutes , when the thief man- nged to break away , slide down and out of tlio house. Senator Spricic gave chase , nnd reaching the street gave the alarm , which brought out the neighborhood , a 11 reet-footeu resident taking the situation at a glance and pursuing the thief so vig orously that u half dozen blocks away he was overhauled. The burglar hold ofl' parties who attempted to intercept him ny showing Ills weapon and threatening to shoot. In the course of his llight ho threw away a bunch of skeleton keys nnd about $ ' . ' 5 in money. Ho had when captured and taken to jail about $10 in cash and Senator Spnek's pocketbook , which , however , contained little of value , ns Mr. Sprick had nis money in another pocket. The thief gave his name to the police as Lewis , and ho was nt ouco recognized as ono of the gang of sncuk thieves tuiil pickpockets who wcro in thn city at the time of the state fair , and who nt that timu was arrested but escaped the penitentiary from the fact that the proof nuauiht him was not solid enough to con vict. The shoes on the man's feet wore llxed especially for his kind of work , and the ollicors were unanimous in the opin ion that ho is ono of the gang raiding the city at the present time. T11H I.ATKST DEAL IN DIRT. The contract was closed yesterday by which tlio Lamastcr lot , 50 by 143. on the corner of O and Twelith streets , was pur chased by Mayor C. C. Burr , the consul- ( ration named in the purchase being $ ; )3.000. ) This is ono ot the choicest busi ness lots in the city , and has been a plum in real estate circles that has been eagerly watched anil us eagerly plucked. The unnouncoment goes with the fact of the purchase that upon this lot Mr. Burr will the coming season erect a seven-story brick block , and if the number of floors is n littln high , tliero need exist no doubt that the ground will bo built upon , IX I'OLICK COURT. The police were after u man yesterday with a warrant , charging him with biting oil' thu nose of a man named Sullivan in n Sunday night row at the Metropolitan hotel. The warrant called for the arrest of Thomas Nolan , who is charged with the ollunse recitnd. John Haley nnd William Dryburn were reclining in the cooler yestoruaycharged with raibing a row und smashing a show rase nt thn notorious raucho of Motile Hall , on 1'istreet. As the prourietor of the bitgnio failed to appear at the morn ing session ot thu court to prosecute , the cube was postponed until ttns morning , James Smith , for being drunk and dis orderly , was awaiting a hearing yester day in court. A man named Nelson was awaiting a hearing for stealing , and James Wesley , for becoming intoxicated , vras lined $3 nnd costs , which ho pail. The trial of the party named Lewis , the burglar , was deferrc from yesterday until to-day for its hearing on account of the auseuco from the city of the county attorney. The defendant has secured counsel and a tight will bo made to keep clear of the pen. pen.IX IX THE CITV , Among the Nebraska arrivals in the city yesterday were registered among others at the hotels the following : John Hewitt , Rev.

Omaha , QWHAT BECAME OF THE COIN. The Mysterious Disappearance of nn Kiitlro IgHtio of SIlTcr. New York "There Is Sun : some-thing curious about the American dollar and holf dollar of thn coinageof 1804 , " said a well-known numNmatist of this city. "In that year something like 20,000 of the dollars were coined , but it is a singular fact , ns Is now known , that not one of themwas known to bo in circulation. Yet the most valuable of all American coins are two 1801 dollars which are in well-known collections. They are valued nt S'J.OOO each. It has been determined to the satisfaction of every numismatist that those two dollars wcro not coined until IH''H , although they were struck from the original ISOtdio * They wcro secretly , made , although such a pro cedure is a penal offense , for some ono high in inllucnco and authority , who do- tired them for certain coin collections. It has never boon positively ascertained how the surreptitious work was accom plished , but there is no doubt that it wns done. Why the dollar of 18ii was never seen in circulation after leaving the mint is one of the unsolved government mys teries. "A still greater mystery surrounds the half dollar of 1801 Of thnt coin nearly 100,000 wnro struck. Not one was ever discovered in circulation. The quarter dollars of 1831 nro numerous enough so Plenty ) in fact , that a fair specimen can bo bought for two dollars , nnd their coinage amounted to less limit seven thous.xnd pieces. A curious thing lias been discovered regarding the hall dollar lar of 1805 , which is not a rare coin , except - cept in the case of those possessing the curiosity i speak of , which increases the value tenfold. Tins is that the figure five in 1805 has been struck over a figure four , showing that the coin was really ono of the umliscovcrcd minting of 1801. What became of the large issue of IbOl halt dollars ? No ono knows or ever will know ; but it is evident that all of them were not Issued from the mint , and this belief that there was some reason for not desiring the coin to circulate is strengthened by the mint oblitcrathm the date on what was left by making 1805 li > tt ] dollars of them. "There was no silver dollar issued from the mint in 1805 , yet 321 were coined , and are in the hands of collectors to-day , just : is they came from the die. No dollars were coined by the government after that until 1830. " Colgate's Cnslnncro Houquet , A white , pure dchciously scented toilet Heap , which never roughens the most del icate skin. On the I'Jvo or Gettysburg. Augustus Branegee in the New York Tribune : Ono evening at a crowded Carty civen by Senator Dixon I was forced y the press into n corner , and on look ing around found my next neighbor was Secretary Stanton. By and ny Dixon came along , and spying us said : "Stan- ton , tell him the seene between old Abe and you the night of the battle of Gettys burg. " Stanton related the following : Mr. Lincoln had been excessively solicitous about the result of that battle. It was known that Lee had crossed into Pennsylvania , threatened Washington , and that battle had been joined near Gettysburg , upon which in all prob ability , the fate of Washington and the issue of the war depended. Tlio tele graphic wires ran into the wtxr depart ment , and despatches had boon received of the results of the first day's fight , which showed how desperate was the at tack , the stubbornness of the defense , and that the result was indecisive. All that day and the next Mr. Lincoln was in an agony of anxiety , run ning over , as was his wont , to the war ollico to ascertain for himself the latest news instead of waiting for the reports to bo sent to him by his subordi nates. Then came a lone interval when nothing was heard of Meade , and the president was wrought up to an in tense pitch of excitement. Night came on , and Stanton , seeing the president worn out with care nnd anxiety , persuaded - suaded him to return to the white house , promising if anything came over the wires during the night to give him im mediate information. At last toward midnight came the clcctrio flash of the great victory which saved the union. Stanton seized the dispatch and ran as fast as ho could to the executive mansion , up the stairs and knocked at the room where the president was catching a fitful slumber. "Who is there ? " he heard in the voice of Mr. Lincoln. "Stanton. " The door opened nnd Mr. Lincoln ap peared with a light in his hand peering through the crack of the door , "iu the shortest nightdress nnd longest legs , " as Stanton said , ho over saw on a human being. Before Stanton , who was out of breath , could say a word , the president , who had caught with unerring instinct the expression of his face gave a shout of .exultation , grabbed him with both arms around the waist and danced him around the chamber until they were both ex hausted. They then sat down upon a trunk , and the president , who was Mill in Ins nightdress , read over and over again the telegram and then discussed with him the probabilities of the future and the re sults of the victory until the day dawned. Such a scene at midnight between two of the greatest Americans whom this generation lias produced , to whom an all-wise providence had committed in largest measure the fate of republican liberty in this western world , may not nfi'oru a subject for the loftiest concep tions of the poet or thu painter , but more than any other incident within my ' knowledge it shows the human nature o'f these two great men , and brings them homo to the hearts and hearthstones of the plain pcoplo of whom Mr. Lincoln was , on whom ho depended and whom ho loved. It shows him brooding all through these three awful days , with an anxiety akin to agony which no ono could share worn nnd weary with the long and doubtful conlllct between hope and fear treading the wine press for his people alone. And nt last , when the lightning Hash had lifted the dark cloud , dancing like a schoolboy in thu ccstacy of delight and exhibiting a toucli of that human nature which makes all the world akin. As I look back over the intervening years to the great men and great events of those historic days , his figure rises be fore my memory the grandest and most majestic of them all , There wcro giants in these days , but lie towered above them like Popncaiapoti or Chimbonizo. lie was great in character , In intellect , in wisdom , in tact , in council , in speech , in heart , in person in everything.

Military nnil Civil Sentences Sleep * inn Soldiers nnd Servile Solons Down IVIth ttio Ijol > bj- General Corruption. Ilt'sitvii.LK , Neb. , Feb. 13. To the Ed itor of the UKE : judging from the let ters to tlio Ben from different parts of the state regarding the defeat of General Van Wyck for re-election to the United States senate , tliero Is considerable sur prise felt at various places over this re sult. That any citizen of this state , or any olhor for that matter , who is at all observant of passing events , present po litical methods , official corruption and corporate power nnd sunremaey , can possibly bo surprised nt Van Wyck's de feat , shows how stupidly confiding people have bceomo in n majority of the men elected to represent them. Notwith standing the 00,000 majority of popular votes cast to express ( he people's prefer ence for him , his defeat in some quarter * was confidently predicted. It would have been the same had the vote been 100,000. It is plain , nnd had the pcoplo good sound sense they would have un derstood before , and without an "if , " that no man , bo ho Van Wyck or any other of llko ability and character , can be re-elected to the position of United States senator. The manner of electing men to the sen- nto of the United States is a stupendous humbug , and ought to have been abolished ished years ago , and to tolerate It farther would bo disgraceful to any people claiming to uphold a republican govern ment. If the pcoplo wanted Van Wyck their 50,000 majority cast for him should have elected him straight. The intervention of some scoundrels , who would probably be stealing horses had not the laws pro vided nn easier , safer and more genteel form of theft , has again cheated the people ple out of , not an ordinary , but a very particular and extraordinary choice. The same tiling has "happened" many a tune before , it will happen again and again , ad infinitum and eternally , un less something more efficacious than the usual resolutions of indignation nicot ines or the old style newspaper scolding , and protesting , is done to stop it. The pcoplo need to nt once recognize the fact that too many of the members of the modern legislative bodies are invet erate and incorrigible villains , who get into ollico by any means which the long experience of their craft has shown to be the most successful. They do not hesi tate to make pledges to the people ple who elect them. To haggle , to dodge or prevaricate , or refuse to pledge themselves to carry out the peo- plo's wishes woula be verv unprofea- sional and would bo damaging to their character as villains. And they will make any pledge their constituencies may ex act to secure their election. Their object in getting elected is obviously a premedi tated anil specific ono. They Iwva de cided m advance upon tbo purpose or purposes they intend to accomplish , and to serve the pcoplo honestly is far from being one of them. They know , if not l > personal experience , certainly by ex ample , that corruption money-will bo lavishly expended by tlio monopoly pi rates to purchase the service of the incog , thieves. They accordingly sull-out when the opportunity comes , and m addition to their salaries pocket the price of their treason. No thief , no robber , uo pirate pf the milder type , knows of any easier way on earth to make money , one so en tirely exempt from punishment as this. To litirl indignation resolutions in the most indignant and resolute manner possible , or any sort of wordy missiles in the most savage and unrelenting fury at such hard shell and depraved specimens of humanity as these is like trying lo de molish a goose with vigorous discharges of wate.rlrom a toy squirt gun. They surely must laugh at the people for their supreme gullibility and childlike meth ods of resentment for an injury _ and a crime the equal of which would , if com mitted in tlio conduct of their legitimate business , ( horse stealing ) very likely cost them their lives. It seems impossible that the political treachery , such ad has just cheated the people of Nebraska out of their distinctly chosen senatorial representative , should have been tolerated until the present time , and they know , or should know , very well that until a change has boon made in the way of dealing with tho.so of their representatives , who , evidently for a consideration , turn traitor and help their enemies , that the only thing they nan bo sure of in the future is a constant and regular repetition of this 111951 heinous and far-reaching of all crimes. To wait for them to voluntarily abandon their infamous practices , or to expect any now or different results from the old system of paper bullets hitherto used ns correctives and reformativcs , is equally futile and idiotio. To get into n responsible and salaried ollico lor the very evident purpose of se curing the salary thereof , together with such bribes as monopolies nnd wealthy corporations are nowadays ollering to carry their villainous schemes against the pcoplo , should beheld ns equivalent to and punished with severity known to military law , and inflicted on the poor weary soldier who happens to bo over come by the fatigue of too arduous ser vice , nnd is caught sleeping while in the performance of guard or picket duty. The soldier in such case is shot to death , yet his oilenso can hardly bo called a crime. The act of sleeping possibly was not deliberate nnd intentional , but may rather have been nn accident re sulting from physical exhaustion. Yet for all that the necessities of the occasion , the great danger impending and threat ening the people who nro depending on ids faithful service and constant ami un remitting vigilance ; the people who pay h'm ' for such service , though involuntary ami poorly paid it may bo , hold him to a most rigid nnd absolute performance thereof , nnd for such delinquency as that in question ho is summarily shot. For desertion the penalty is the sumo. In military affairs experience has shown nnd demonstrated the necessity of enforcing - forcing Mich laws , nnd all soldiers whether volunteer or conscript are equally subject to their inexorable stringencies and operation. The annuals of war testify that such laws have fro- nuontly been executed and many a soul thereby sent to eternity for nn act far less criminal in its intent , extent and meaning than are these of the unctuous political rascals who largely compose our representative bodies , and who by their connivance , collusion , desertion nnd treason , encourage , assist , surrender , sell out to the enemies of the people who pay them , nnd all this with perfect cor poreal impunity , "Tho latter , however , is under the civil law. " Hut wo should re member that the people make both the civil nnd the military laws , and when an amen is uttered to sanction the execu tion of either it is the people who utter it. "Dul one is military which is ditt'er- cn\ from civil. " The former is to kill , thn latter is to prepare for the former. There is really no great diflurcnco. The former is equal to six , while the latter to only a half-dozen. Our laws are very consistent and uro gotten'up on the hairsplitting - splitting plan , and consequently make exceedingly nno nnd Infinitesimal dis criminations. Honcc the lawmakers have decided that it Js right to dpnl re lentlessly with the cllect , whila they temporize with , protect , folorate , excuse nnd mirso the cause which produced it. It is logical therefore to ehoct dead the soldier of the war , who uncon sciously yields to the demands of his piivsic.il nature for needed rest nnd let ofl1 scot free the wily civil agitator , protll- gate , perjurer , fraud , darter and traitor who induced it. Killing delinquent soldiers is resorted to by tlio pcoplo to terrify other soldiers , and .so compel them to stick to nn honest and faithful dis charge of their duties a $ physicians , who nrc employed by the tfcoplo to euro .1 disenso or disorder called war , which the pcoplo have brought oh themselves bv their stupid refusal to use as a preventive in their civil affairs some timely doses of the "cure" which is found to be so clllca- cious when subsequently applied to sleeping - ing and deserting soldiers. Do von say this rule would not work ? Wo admit it is not likely to work as a law , for it is extremely doubtful that tliero is a single American legislature which would pass n law that would make membership thereof a position to which only honest men would dare aspiro. It is evidently bolter to prevent nn evil than to nromoto It by neglect , and permit its full development. War is not Infre quently a full development of civil evils. lo away with civil evils and you prevent wnr. Civil Jovils consist materially in otlleial corruption in its various phases. Ollicinl treason might fittingly be used to include the several forms ot said corrup- tiont which embrace any and nil sorts of ollleial action , naturally and morally op posed to ollicial integrity and virtue. Make a law ami enforce it , written or un written , that such is treason , the highest crime , and the penalty for it to be death. The penalty , ns under other laws to bo remissible in extraordinary eases. Earth constituency should deal with its own oll'endcr , ( tlic same ; vs it now does with regular horse thieves , ) who should bo made to suffer tlio penalty for his crime , the evidence of guilt in all cases to bo equally ns clear as that against n soldier who should bo condemned to death. In other words place the civil ollicor on an equality with the soldier who must nght tlio military battles which are but too often the result of civil treason ; for ho who sows the wind should of right bo compelled to sutler the consequences of the whirlwind. Such a civil code would insure the people against that class of political vultures wiiosu per fidious conduct m ofllce has the ultimate effect of bringing on our raeo as much or more of pain and misery as have the transgressions of criminals now ex piating their sins in the penitentiaries. Ho who objects to such a law is not lit for u public official. lie evidently dis trusts his own honesty , nnd if ho so manifestly distrusts himself tlio people have thereby the strongest reason to regard - gard him with grave suspicion. Hut rogues would bo ( imply safe under its working , as they are under no obligations to serve the public in an ollicial capacity. Only honest men would care to accept responsible positions of public trust , and political rascality would bo u thing of the past. There are honest men enough to run the machinery which makes and ait- minisl'jr.s the laws , and they too would all no in much less clanger of incurring liability to suffer from tlio effects of violations lations of law than is the solilier. While the death penalty is now attached to cer tain infraetiousof the civil law , to extend it prudently to a few others , the people would not bo thereby exceeding their power to make and execute such laws as recent experience has shown to bo im peratively necessary for the security of domestic peace nnd national perpetuity. As it now is many really innocent , well- meaning and faithful soldiers are shot dead for possibly a short und much- needed nap , and under the proposed new civil regime none but the professors of political chicanery nnd compound trea son would suffer from its operation in the civil branch of our government. On the other hand , another reform to co-operate with the ono just outlined should bo simultaneously instituted. Corporation and monopoly lobbies which persistently hang around our leg islatures to sway the current of legisla tion by their vicious and iniquitous meth ods , should bo promptly stamped out. Not a vestige , nor any scmblanco of it , should bo allowed to remain. It is an astonishing fact that it now exists , anil shows cither that the people collectively are a set of mummies or are culpably loyal to a prescriptive government. Scarcely would any free American citi- /.en , m his own individual business con cerns , for n moment tolerate n similar interference , one so monumentally impu dent and damnable as that called "lob- bving" in our state and national legisla tures. Lobbying , as it is carried on in the interest of the railroad highwaymen and other brigandish monopolies , is an imposture almost equal in its diabolism to treason itself. It is largely by means of the lobby that railroad and other cor porations secure the passage , or defeat , ot such laws as may conduce to their ad vantage or otherwise. No session of any legislature is at the present day exempt from its presence , ajid not a law is passed pertaining in any way to the relations of these corporations with the people that their corrupting power is not exerted oithur for or against it , through the medium of their lobby. His a bold and piratical interference with a public transaction , in the result of which the welfare of every citizen in in some sense involved ; and for those cor porations whoso wealth enables them by n corrupt use of its power to so contami nate the very source of all civil laws , and thus turn its natural course to their own selfish purposes is to commit a crime against thn people by whoso authority tney were created. A farmer hires a number of men to sow and plant his grain , and pays them an acceptable price for their services. An enemy of untold wealth enters his field nnd with bribes of great amount induces the sewers and planters to do their work in n deceitful manner , not merely to sijcuro the pay from the farmer , but to sow thibtlcs in stead of wheat , and to plant burs instead of corn , that ho may so weaken the farmer financially by the final result as to more easily and quickly accomplish some Fchonio for his , the farmer's , sub jugation , enslavement and ruin. Of course if such u fact shortlfl actually cnmo to the Knowledge of a fanner , or similar facts to any business man whatever , the briber would not probabjy get out of the field' all vo.more especially so after the second end attempt , having been allowed to es cape with merely a warning on the occa sion of the first. An attempt so palpably outrageous nnd unpardonable , both in us conception nnd execution , would merit death by a bullet on the 'spot , though the law might prescribe a leo summary and a different punishment. The farmer pays his men for their ser vices honestly rendered , and ho in like manner duly pays his rupresontativos in ollice for their services , imd the attempt to pervert , to corrupt mid destroy the value of said services of the ono or the other can hardly bo distinguished in principle. The people by permitting the gigantic monopolies of this country to constantly pollute and make fruitless for the public good , the paid services of their legislators and other publio servants , by poisonous bribes of sundry kinds , infused ny means of their brass-collared attorneys und lobbyists 11119 tne vcrJ vitals of the body politic , are ignominfoiisly yielding to an outrageous and egregious usurpation that is a disgrace to American manhood. A lobbyist is comparable to a spy in the nnny. His business is like that of the spy , and his treatment should bo the same. Dnvo the lobbies nway from the legislatures by phj > ipal force if neces sary. No lusting improvement iu the people's condition caii bo oll'ucted with out applying more * force of a muscular nature.
