ACCORDING to the 8t. Louis Globe- Democrat, “the Missouri Pacific people think they have struck a ‘lead’ 1n their new Line, ihe Omaha Cut-ott, via Kansas City, Atchison and Lincoln.” —— HITCHCOCK is evidently alarmed about the disastrous effect of his combination with Dr. Milier. do the Herald has been instructed to strike a few harmless blows at Hitehcock to counteract the eflect of its damaging puffery. BIncE Jeff. Davis has gone into the life insurance business, he has developed a wonderful amount of cheek. His recent letter in reply to Blaine, is the cheekiest document that.has ever emanated from the pen of the rebel chief. Just as we predicted two days ago. Here is the champion acro- bat's apology : “It is, of course, understood, as was fuirly stated in_our first article on the incorporated commercial cut- throats of the Iowa ‘“pool” rail- ways, that our designation of {hem is in no sense personal. The man- agers, general and local, of thes: lines, are all gentlemen, and are al- together too popular nally for the good of the people of Omaha, or, for that matter, for the good of the each other. We speak of them s impersonal cut-throats, and only in & business sense.”’— Herald. It is of course understood by everybody in these parts that the Herald never meaus what it says excepting when it toadies to men of wealth and men of influence. Of course these gentlemen cut-throats will understand that they are la- beled as cut-throats in a strictly Pickwickian sense, just "as Dick Tarpin, Jacr Sheppard aund other gentlemanly road agents were fre- quently nick-named in their day by men who admired their polished manners. It now only remains for the champion acrobat to explain that in calling them “commercial cut-throats” no insinuation wasin- tended reflecting upon their strictly honorable dealing. 4 BILL of considerable interest to army officers has been introduced in Congress by Delegate Steele, of Wyoming. The bill proyides that the promotion >f commissioned offi- cers shall be lineal. through all grades up to and including the grade of colonel in cavalry, artillery, and infantry in the army; provided, that in case of & voluntary transfer of an officer from one arm of the service to another to a position be- low his lineal rank he shall thereaf- ter be entitled to such promotion, and such only, as pertains to the po- sition thus sccepted by him. Bubaltern officers of cavalry, ar- tillery, and infantry promoted from second lieutenancies to first lieuten- ancies, and from first lieutenancies to captaincies, during each half year, shall be assigned by the Sec- retary of War on or before the next succeeding first days of January and July of each year to such va- eancles as may have occurred in the grades to which they shall have been promoted in their arms of the secvice during that period, and in such manner as shall incur least ex- pense for transportation : Provided, Phat each and every officer 8o as- signed shall retain the rank to which he is entitled under the pro- yisions of this act. > In every official -army register hereafter issued the lineal rank of subalterns of the line of the army shall be given separately for the diffierent arms of the service. | and figures produced by the BEE to Editor and Publisher. | M. in Nebraska Is waging a war of | FACTS AND FICTION. ‘The overwhelming array of facts | disprove the charge that the B. & | discrimipation against Omaba, and in favor of Lincoln, is met by our | scrobatic contemporary with & col- | umn of personal abuse directed at Mr. 5. 8. Caldwell, whom -the Her- ald assumes to be the author of our | editorial article. f Now, In the first place, we desire it understood that no article written by outsiders ever appears in the ed- | 1torial columns of the BEE. In the | next place, we will disabuse the mind of our contempory by stat- ing that Mr. 8. 8. Caldwell did not dictate or inspire the article, nor did he have the remotest agency in its production. such an article was written until he saw it in print. The facts and fig- ures produced were procured at our own instance and without sug- gestion or solicitation from any- body. The Herald does not attempt to gainsay or discredit any of the facts produced, but it insinuates that discrimination is being made under- handed by a rebate of freight tolls. This, we are assured by the officers of the B. & M. is untiue, and_we challenge the Herald to cite any in- stance where freight charges to or from Lincoln have been made the same or lower than those charged at Omahs, excepting alone the article of corn from Lincoln to Chicago. The charge that Lincoln lumber dealers are favored by cut-throat rates in order to undersell Omaha deglers, isabsurd.

(Correspondence of the Bak,) XENIA, BARPY COUNTY Neb., Feb. 7, '76. } This Lustling little village, as many of your readers are aware, is situated down in the southwestern corner of SBarpy county. The sur- rounding lands are very fertile,and as high as one hundred bushels per acre of corn has been harvested this last summer. Just at present a bridge over the Platte seems to be the greatest want to the farmers. It would enable them to pass to and from Saunders county, and especially would 1t ben- efit the Saunders county farmers, as then they could at all seasons of the year move their products to the Omaha market. LIVELY RACKETT. A few evenings since at the Xenia the most lively and highly interest- ing fiascos that we have witnessed in many a day. Thesinging school was enjoying one of their usual and thereby defrauding the gov- ernment of millions of revenue, | but also of bringing the offenders | to the punishment tl 2y haye mer- | ited. Every newspayer ot the day consciously or unconsciously, gladly or reluctantly, bears evidence of his complete and stariling success. There has been nothing sensational in his work. He has neither sought men’s approval nor deprecated their ‘wrath.” He found before “him an obvious if a dangerous duty, and to the straightforward, conscientious discharge of it has zealously applied an energy which has proved tire- less and an intelligence which is seen to be of no common order. From first to last he has been the backbone of the whisky prosecu- tion. Grant’s precept was but en echo of Bristow’s performance. It is an assumption, but one not whol- ly gratuitous, that if Bristow had not_taken the treasury portfolio, McDonald and Joyce would have been stll in government employ at Bt. Louis, and the distillers would now, as of old, “grease the wheels” of the revenue machinery at Chica- go. ‘While the life and soul of the cru- sade against the revenue thieves, Mr. Bristow has yet found abun- dance of time to discharge his other duties as secretary. He is theintel- ligent champion of specie resump- tion. He has battled against odds for retrenchment and economy, and hasstood by his desk while other employes of the people have been Junketing. In demonstrating his good times, when a slight misunder- standing arose betwenn the Davis brothers and Willlam Armstrong They immediately set on to each other like old ime knockers. One of the Davis boys hurled Armstrong to the floor, crushing the seats in his fall. He sustained serious inter- ual injuries, it is feared, besides heving his left shoulder dis- located. Mr. F. T. Leffler, from Forrest City had a fearful em- bargo placed on the side of his head, direct from the shoulder of an indi- vidual who is very appropriately called Me-unta-in. Mr. Leffler did not resent the blow. shipped one car-load of lumber to stations west of Lincoln oyer that road during the year 1875. The charge that Caldwell has shipped corn from Lincoln to Bos- ton for 80 cents, is about as veracious as the other charges. Mr. Caldwell has not secured these cut-throat rates, for the reason that he never shipped any corn to Boston. In this connection we may as well state that the Her- aid is doing Omaha incalculs: ble damage by an agitation which even if founded on fact, must inev- itably widen the breach between Omaha and the rest of the state. Our merchants are doing a heavy business south of the Platte, and the attempt to array Omaha agaist any locality in that region must alienate the patrons of our mer- chants. There is, however, one consola- ton for Omaha, and that is that the Herald eirculates less than two hun- dred copies of its daily south of the Platte. If the Herald is really in earnest in its denunciation of the cut-throat business, would it not be well to give Omaha & chapter on railroad rebates, granted to the grain ring, of which Mr. Hitch- cock’s government director is the head? That is an unexplored bonanza thet wmight be worked with profit. A MosT remarkable policy has Just been inaugurated by the Michi- gan Central Railroad Company. A general order has been Issued by the Superintendent, Wm. B. Strong, which closes as follows: “From this date no person will be admitted to the service of this company until he shall have secured a policy of in- surance against accident and death, 1n some responsible company.” BANGS went out of office With a grand flourish of trumpets about the fast mail busiaess, but had not a word in explanation of those mail weighing swindles. WHAT DID YOU MEAN? OMAHA, Feb. 8, 1876. 20 Edward Rosewater, Publisher of the umaha Bee : In your paper of Monday evening, Feb. 7th, appears an article, in which my place of business 1sspoken of as a “colored den.” You will please explain what im- pression you intended to leave upon the public mind by the use of those words, which, as generally inter- preted, would place me before this community in a most unenviable light. R. D. CURRY. ANSWER. You evidently take exeception to the following paragraph : «Sparks and another colored man named Newton, were known to have been out on a free during all of Saturday night, spending money freely, and bucking the tiger ata colored den on Douglas street.” This paragraph occurs in the Bek's report of the Boyd safe bur- glary swith which Sparks has been charged. Although no reference Is made to your place of business (?) you acknowledge that the coat fits you by making this inquiry. The BEE is always courteous, and your questions shall be answered without reserve. According to Webster, a den is “a customary place of resort; a haunt; a retreat; as, for example, a den of robbers; a den of misery and vyice.” A colored den may either be a customary place of re- sort; & disreputable haunt of vice and misery painted in colors, or it may be a disreputable haunt tre- { quented by persons of color. It may be both. If your place of businessissuch a den, the sooner you get more employment the leas danger there will be of your being msulted by paragraphs like the above. Since you have seen fit to propound this conundrum, we may as well state that while the BEE s ever ready to demand for and accord equal rights to the co- lored man with those enjoyed by the white man, it also belieyes that colored men shall be made amens- ble tothe laws that punish vice and crime in white men. 1f, as you intimate, your place of business is s den Where colored men buck the tiger and spend their hard earned money ,in gambling and EARLY SPRING. The spring of 76 promises to be an early one. Mauy of the farmers are preparing to sow wheat. Geese and ducks are quite plenty on the Platte river bottoms. The genial rays of the February sun has al- ready warmed the hearts of the farmers in this section, and the ex- pectation for the coming season’s crops count up high. May they not ve disappointed. TEN Dov. ICommunicated. | A Peruvian Patriot. PERU, NEMAHA Co., Neb., Feb. 7, '76. } T take this opportunity of express- ing my gratitude for the continu- ance of your paper. You will find enclosed one dollar, and as soon as possible I will send more. Your supplement adorns my hall, and your paper is a welcome visitor. I like the noble and bold front it takes on the principles of the Republican party; had every Republican jour- nal done as much, there would not bave been that falling off #nd run- ning after strange gods V.= record of the Republican part, stands to- day unrivalled on the pages of American histo y; its advent was in a perilous time, when our treasury was almost empty, and & ewvil war hanging over our heads., She took the helm of the old ship Constitution and guid- ed her safely through the impend- ing storms, bursting asunder the bonds of slavery and subduing the enemy, both north and south. Now Idon’t want to fight that ground over again. I furnished five sons to help earry on the war; all un- scathed, to be sure, but one who died of disease in New Orleans— but I fear the consequences if the party gets into power that is trying every scheme to accomplish it. It is the old animosity of the demo- cratic party warmed over. The party since it first broke ranks has assumed almost every name that could be thought of under high heav- en, from Free Soilers down to Barn Burners, Hunkers, Locofocos, and finully down to the low, degraded name of Copperhead; and there she stopped for a while, all dead but the poor little tail, and that has kept wiggling ever since, and now comes up with a Liberal head on. Republican friends, beware of it! it is Copperhead still. Now, Republicans, fall into line boldly to the front with your armor bright as the noonday sun, and fight it out, *if its takes all summer;” and we will kill that Liberal head, and leave the little Copperhead tail wiggling for another name. Fight manfully the battle, if victory we don’t gain, we will have a record filed on book that we surely have died game. J. B. MORTON. [Communicated,] Railroad Bonds Defeated in Cedar County. 8T. HELENA, Feb. 7 The railroad bonds were defeated by Yankton and the Dakota South- ern Railroad Company, as they were over in force with money and men to defeat them. However, the bonds got a majority, but this was not suf- ficient to carry them. There was a very lively time at the polls; a good deal of bad whisky was drank, and several fights occurred. The bonds carried by 28 majority. All the most wealthy men from Dakota were here here to defest them, in behalf of the Dakota Southern rail- road. F.F. 8, —_— Bristow. (Chicago Times.) The best known and the least known American of to-day is & pos- sible nominee of the Cincinnati convention. The vigor which has characterized his administration of the intricate and important affairs of the treasury department, espec- ially his persistent, relentless prose- cution of the whisky rings of In- dianapolis, Bt. Louis, Milwaukee, and Chicago, has made Mr. Bristow the toremost figure in the adminis- tration. When he was unexpected- 1y called to the cabinet, he had no national reputation. His fame as a soldier aduring the war, and as a lawyer before and after, was con- fined to his own state. He bad been in Washington, but in a posi- tion no more us than that of solicttor to the de ent of which h:hl: ‘l::' the e hHu fit- ness for portant which he was assigned hflevc been dhgnyed, so far as the general pub- lic knew, but he quickly demon- strated s ity.

INDUSTRIAL POINTS. The window glass company of their speeches for revision. Thus Whipper did not say that the sane- | — tum of a democratic mnewspaper “smelt of hell,” but that *its inner sanctusry was pervaded by the odor of Plutonian palaces.’” “Who's your favorite for the pres- idency?” inquired Spilkins of & youth who flattered himself he knew a good deal about American poli- tics. 4‘Oh, well, replied Juventus, twirling an_incipient moustache, ¢HamiltonConkling or Roscoe Fish; either one of them would suit me very well.” The St Joseph (Mo.) Gazette says: The woods of Ozark county are so full of candidates for office that the wood-choppers are atraid to fall trees in the daytime, for fear of killing them. They need not be so squeamish; a few hundred of that z:‘m‘i ‘wnuld be interesting and ben- cial. We are glad to learn that the Telegraph is for Bristow for presi- dent. That is how every sensible and honest journal ought to feel. Bristow is the only thoroughly-effi- cient reformer the country has pro- duced for years. He is essentially the man for the white house; but the politicians are not with him, and the people will have to bestir themselves if they want him nom- inated at Cincinnati.— Pittsburgh Dispatch. — St. A. D. Balcombe. [Winona Republican, | The following'paragraph referring to a former well-known citizen of ‘Winona, we find in an exchange : St. A. D. Balcombe, formerly of this state, is having a checkered ca- reer. He was president of the re- publican branch of the first Minne- sota constitutional convention, and was in those days well known to Minnesota people, subsequently, as Indian Agent,among the Winne- bagoes, he made a fortune in four years—at least took to Oma- ha$70,000 in greenbacks. There he went into the business of running an “organ” for the republican party, lost money, and after many ups Bellaire shipped over 1,000 boxes of glass last week. The enamel works at Millingten, Kendall county. Ili., have com- menced pperations. The woolen milis at Goshen, In- diana, bave made 74,000 yards of ‘woolen goods this season. The citizens and eapitalists of Du- buque are making an_effort to start a woolen and cotton factory. ‘The match factory of T. L. Clark, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, used $200,- 000 worth of stamps during the year 1875. shipments from the Anamosa (Towa) quarries for 1875 were 3,200 carloads, and the amount receiyed, $35,000. The Fall River manufacturers have recently received orders from England for 10,000 pieces of print goods every week. The Iilinols Glass Company, at Alton, have been laying out the ground plans for the erection of very extensive glass works in that clty. The Gallipolis Bulletin says the thirteen furnaces of the Ohio River Salt Company made 300,000 bush- els of salt during the month of De- cember. Johu M. Gorhaw, president of the Ohio Wooden Ware Company, of Cleveland, is making negotiations at Bay City for the removal of the entire works to that city The value of the butter made in the United States in 1875 amounts to $420,000,000. This is equal to the combined yield of gold and silver and the cotton crop. Manufacturers of dairy imple- ments in Elgin, Tllinois, are build- ing large numbers of vats for the spring trade Two establishments bave twelve each now ready for the market. A valuable lead mine has been diseovered near Moumouth, about twelye miles from Maquota, lowa. At last advices the operators had penetrated the vein seven feet and had not touched bottom. The Ames Company of Chicopee are at work again on their contract to make 200,000 bayonet scabbards for the Turkish government, the affairs of the Providence Tool Com- pany, who sub-let them the job, be- ing now in such a condition that they pay promptly each instalment of money. There are now eight pin‘factories in the United States, which make 47,000,000 pins daily. In addition to' these the importation of pins reach 25,000,000. As these are all easily sold, it is safe to say that 72, 000,000 of pins are lost daily, or 50,- 000 every minute. Where they go is & wonder Notwithstanding the cry of hard times, the rolling mills, machine shops, foundries, and Woodburn- Sarven wheel works haveemployed their usual complement of hands and run with a regularity never be- fore exceeded, and present indica- tions are that a majority of them will continue to do so through the winter and_spring.—Indianapolis Journal.

The Hou. Potiphar Paegreen, of the Georgia legislature, rose in his seat the other day and asked a member the meaning of the word geology The member told him it 'Was aspecies of vaccination.

He wrole, “Blaine’s patriotism is like the granite of his native hills,”” but bas since learned that the ex-speaker 'was born in western Pennsylvania. Con, n Tutts, of Tows, is evidently something of a wag. He writes to a friend that his seat is be- tween Mr. Blaine and Mr. W. B. King, and adds that he ““hopes to abeorb a little statesmanship from one, and a little subsidy from the other.” The colored legislators of South and downs in his journalistic career, was forced to drop out last summer. He lost $16,000 by mdo\»él;;g for Mr. Nash, of Bt. Paul. Omaha property became tied up, and his fortune, that he had added to for a time in that city, faded away.
