E. ROSEWATER. Pablisher ————————— Baxter and Brooks are just now monopolizing our telegraphic cols umns with the Arkansas rebellion drama. TweLVE hundred immigrants reached New York from Europe Saturday. A large portion of them are Westward bound A Most delicate item of super- royal intelligence, is vibrated across the Atlantic. The Duchess of Edin- Durg is enciente, says the cable gos- sip, and we presume the royal family physiciau understands the symptoms. Aud now the British poet laureate, who only sixty days ago composed those charming verses on the jukal nuptials, will have to sing again, “Well done Maria Alexandrowna.” The City Council, acting as a judicial tribunal on the Johnston- Baumer election contest, have ren- dered their verdict. The Demo- cratic members, by a strict party vote, have annulled the decision of the sworn judges of election, and declare Johnston as the duly elected City Treasurer. This partizan verdict has surprised nobody. People who have watched the proceedings of the Council since its organization had long since be- come convinced that the Demo- cratic majority was from the outset determined to ignore precedents and override all legal barriers by the arbitrary use of numerical force. ‘The indifference that characterized their movements during the read- fng of the testimony and the argu- ments of counsel furnisned sufficient proof that the verdict was a foregone conclusion. The reading of Vande- grift’s scarlet letter was merely a weak subterfuge to afford weak- kneed demagogues a shadow of ex- cuse to Jean upon. And now we eheerfully sceept. this verdict as & victory () for which the people of Omaha and Douglas county will hold the Democrgey to strict ac- countability. Let it be recorded that this party, clothed with brief and accidental power, has resorted to the most disgraceful subterfuges for the sgke of holding their grip upon a paltry office. Let it ever be remembered that the Demoeracy have, through their representatives in the Omaha City Council, put a premium on fraud and eorruption by upholding a man who at the most favorable mspect of the casc by the plae of his own counsel could only claim his elestion by bogus tickets, palm- d off on unsuspecting Republicans. Keep it before the people that John Baumer has been temporarily choked out of an office to which he was legitimately elected by a tribunal blinded by partizan 2esl spurred on by a Bourbon organ that never has dared to denounce fraud and corruption, excepting in the camp of the opposition. Suppose the Republican Legis- lature of Nebraska had undertaken to uphold corrupt Governors and and State officers by main force of numbers, would not these Demo- cratic Daniels have cited the Re- publican party to judgment before the people? Viewing the case from this standpoint we are willing to trust Judge Lake and the people with the final verdiot. THE SCARLET LETTER. What would be thought of a Judge who, after a case had closed and the jury was about to retire, should attempt to influence their vendict by introducing a letter from an important witness denying the veracity of his verbal testimony ? Would not sugh action justly sub- Ject him to impeachment and re- moval from jthe bench? And this is precisely what President Gibson, scting in a judicial capacity, was guilty of whenjhe introduced Van- dergift’s searlet letter to the Council. The reading of the testimony had been concluded, the counsel of cor- testants had closed their arguments, and the motion to declare Johnston duly elected had been ordered to a vote. It was a breach of parlia- mentary usage to interpose any other matter while the order was pending. It wasa breach of judicial decorum which Mr. Gibson himself acknowledged when he admonished Councilmen not to be influenced by the contents of that letter. Why thea did he introduce it at that stage ? If we take Mr. Gibson at his own 'udlxv-d.n:mm.:_subluulr. | verdict? Does not the interposition | Johnston’s"character. Could not that have been done just as readily after the Council had recorded their | of the letter prove that he did want Councilmen influenced by the let- ter? And now let us ask inall candor how much of the indelible stain that rests upon Johnston’s character by Vandergrift’s sworn testimony has'this letter wiped out ? Does any sane’man in Omaha be- lieve that Vandergrift wrote this letter of his own free will and ac- cord without inducements? Was not Vandergrift penniless, destitute, and without employment in this | city last week, and ;who furnished | the money for his transportation to the West? Does not this case of very trans- parent thimble-rig more than ever confirm what Joknston himself did not dare deny? That Vandegrift was sober when the First Ward ballots were being counted, we can per- sonally verify on oath, and a dozen unimpeachable witnesses would do the same thing. Again, if Vandc- grift had been actuated by revenge | in his damaging testimony against Johnston, would it have been necessary to send an | officer four times after him and keep & guard over him before he could be induced to testify? Does | anybody suppose he could have es- | | caped,the searching eross-examina- tion of Johnston’s attorney if his allegations hadZbeen invented for | the occasion ? If this scarlet letter, | penned by Vandergrift but not sworn to, is true, and Vandergift's sworn testimony is false, why did Johnston, on osth, after listening to that testimony, say that he did not think Vandergift would swear falsely? ~ Ifthis scarlet letter wasnot a very | clumsy bait for gudgeons to bite at | how came it that Councilman Stephenson knew when the letter was read in Council that Vander- gift had vamoosed? Instead of restoring Johnston into public con- | fidence this letter stamps him as a | ounning political trickster, who | would resort to every devce to keep his hold on office. Itdrives the last nail inton his political coffin. | Communicated. | VOICE FROM LONE TREE. LoxE TREE, Neb., } May 9, 1874. EpIToR BEE: Again we have had an exciting day. A Grange council has been in session, and the County Agricultu- ral Society. Nothing of importance transpired in either, as the all im- portant subject of timber stealing was on everybody’s mind. You see it had been ascertained to a-cer- tainty, that the U, B, grand jury were considering the matter, and the principal actors, or those that have from five to ten years of fuel on hand, are rather uneasy. A meet- ing had been called at the Court House, to devise means for protec- tion or aid, in case any of them got into trouble. The principal thieves were present, and such doleful countenances, I have searcely ever seen. Horace Allen was chosen Chairman, and N. R, Penniger, Secretary. Hon. W. H. Webster addressed the meeting at length, advising the organization he said that nearly all were guilty, and that means should be taken to fix the mattor up, ejther | through the Indian Department or | through our members in Congress, He favored a secret society whereby every member should obligate him- self o help with money or other- | wise those who should get into any trouble. Others thought the least said the better, and advised him to quit until more news pould be as- certained from Omaha, A Com- mittee was finally chosen, consist- ing of seven, to frame 3 pian and to draft a petition to the U. P. R. R., ssking them to reduce freight on road. The Committee consisted of the tollowing gentlemen: C. E. Brown, Rev. Jobu M. Dressler, W. H. Webster, T. J. Sparks, Judge Brund, W. A Porter and Rev. J. 5. Donaldson, the com- mittee, retired, and pending their action a recess was taken, during which a telegram was received from one of the boys in Omaha ad- vising them to go slow; so the meeting once more came to order, | the committee called in, and after some_consultation adjourned, to meet Friday. Later.—The boys have all got back, and report no danger, and all are happy. They say the Grand Jury only asked them about those who had large quantities of timber, and those that had sold, and that they sup- Elnul there was no saving them, it on a final vote the jury stood 14 for indicting and 9 for acquittal. So we are safe at least for this time and | hope for all time. The timber ix | all cut now and there will be no dsnger herearter until more grows. < zhe weather 1s fine. We have ad some raln and spects for more. look wel:?,‘s and as a general thing farmers are ahead with their work.
