ROSEWATER, "Bditor and Publisher. A TRIUNPH FOR THE RIGHT. ALVIN SAUHDEH‘B. Historical Sketch of Nebraska’s Next United States Senator. Alvin Saunders, who has just been elested to represent Mebraskain the United States Senate, for six years, ending March 4th, 1883, was born in Fleming County, Kentucky, on the 13th day of July, 1817, Gunnell Saunders, his father, native of London county, Virginis, was & descendent of a British fam- ily. He removed to Kentucky while quite young, locating on a farm ten miles sotith of Flemings- burg. His Mother, Mary Saunders nee Manzy, was of Virginia birth and of French origin. Gunnell Baunders was & farmer by occupation, and b trained his boye, five ir humber, to some busi- nees pursuit. When Alvin wasabout twelve years of age, the entire fam- ily moved from Ketucky, and lo- cated near Springfield, Tllnols. But little attention was then given to education in Kentueky, :nd especlally with those living out- side of the cities and large towtis, and with families of ioderate means, and the sublect of this The people of Aebraska aud the friendsofhonest government all over tne Union, are to be congratulated upon the culm.nation of the great political contest that has resulted in the election of Alvin Baunders to the United States Senate. No event in the history of this common- wealth has been fraught with more momentuous consequence. ‘The election of Alvio Baunders is not, as it may seem, & mere faction- at or pereonal victory—it s the tri- umph of justice over lawlessness, of trath over falsehood, and of hon- esty over corruption. It is a les- ®on to the young, and aspiring meu of this State, teaching (hem that the power of money cannot alwsya prevail however potent it may seem for a time. It demoustrates that; which begins with wrong is sure to end in wrong —that Trath crashed to earth will rise agaln. For six long vears a man who secured his seat against the popular wish of «he people has used every means n hm power to obliterate all trac- s of his corrupt scquisition and like the guilty culprit who covered s first crime by the commission of another, so the occupant of the senatorial position soon to be filled by Alvin Saunders found in the attitude of being < mpelled to commit subsequent acts repugeant to his sese of justice and autagonistic to the interests of the commonwealth, merely to silence those who had been his accomplices in the unlawful step which gave hig power Instead of being free to represent aBtate a3 one of its direclors in the national affairs of our government, he was the slave of » merciless and unprincipled lot of office-seekers. The people of Nebraska can there- fore congratulate themselves upon the new change which affairs have taken. Benator Baunders owes his posie tion to no monied power, nor has he obligated himself by any pledgee to make any recommendations for office. He will be free to carry out the wish- s and subserve the interests of his constituency, untrammelled by cor- rupt bargains, and undisturbed by the fears of exposures. On this, the succeseor of the present inoum- bent, as well as the citisens of the Btate, are to be oon- gratulated. His sccession to the high office of Senator will mark s new era in the political affairs of Nebraska. 1 'msalf — DB. MILLER has at length dis- covered that he is neither the em- bodiment of the Demooratic party nor the tail end of the Republicans. —— Hox. JorN C. CowIN, Lorenzo Crounse, Judge Briggs. Geu. Man- derson, Mr. Nauce, Van Wick, Judge Lake, and a host of others whose names want of space pre- vents us from enumerating at pres- ent, deserve the thanks of the peo- ple of this State for the fight they made against corruption and dis- houesty in the Interest of popular reform during the senatorial con- test, but for them the contest of six years against a corrupt dynasty would have been fought in vam. ——— Ix the exciemen: awending the close of the most remarkable polit- ical contest Nebraska has experi- enced since she has becoine a Btate, it is diffieult to give proper credit to =1l parties deserving of 1it, especially where there are so many who have done good and noble work in the eause of honesty aud justice. While the victory achieved by the election of Alvin Saunders to the Senate be- longs to the Republicans, there are Democrats who are deserving of more than ordinary honors for their unswerving devotion to the right in the face of extrsordinary tempta. tion. Of the Douglas county dele- gation we are proud to point fo the records of Messrs. Chas. H. Brown, Geo. W. Ambrose, James Creigh- ton, J. 8. Gibson and A. N. Fergu- #on. We shall take occasion to #peak of them, and otber men, st length in another fesne. B« says that councilman in that city has more bouor in his Jittle finger than the editor of the Herald hasin his whole body. That looks Jike & personal Joke; but probably there is an- hon- et councilman tn Omahn, doub ful n-lun-y appear.- [Lincoln Dem- sketch, so long &8 he remained in that region, shared the fate com- mon to all of his class; nor waz bis condition much improved by removal fo another Biate for the section i Illinols where his father located was then very sparse- ly settled, and consequently a very poor opportunity was afforded for ever & common school education. A school was taught two miles distant from where his father lived, for only three months in each year, and that too in the winter season. The consequence was that he receiv- ed only the first rudimentsof ar: edus cation, and here many boys would bave rested their studies, and pass. ed through life without further educational advancement, But Alvin Saunders had a natural liking for books, and & high degree of ambition for improvement of tne mind, and he ailigently prosecuted his studies even under me most adverse circumstances, ‘When the postoffice was estab- lisived in Mount Pleasatit, Mr. Saun- dors was appointed postmaster, an office that he held for over seven years. In 1846, he was elected a8 & member of the constitutional eon- vantion under which the Btate of lowa was admitted into the Union. In 1854, ho Was elected to the Towa State Senate, and took a very active Ppart in the politics of that day. He was uncompromisingly epposed to the Kansas-Nebraska bill, which would have opened up the territo- ries to the introduction into them of slaves. “No more slave territo~ ry” was his motto. In 1858, he was re-elected as his own succeseot, He was a delegate to the first re- publican state convention ever held in Tows, &nd ever since he has been an active member of that party, He was a delegate to the republican nutional convention In 1869, and took an active part in the nomina tion of Abreham Lincoln. After Mr. Lincoln’s nomiuation, Mr. Rauuders made an active canvass of the state of Iowa, and every- where he strongly pressed the claims of wincoln and the republi- can party. TIn 1861, and vhly a few days after the |nmguullon, President Lin- cole appointed him to the office of Governor of Nebraska Territory, a position that he heMd for Blx years, eluding the cutire period of the great rebellion and until the State was admitied into the Union. Be- siaes the very arduous duties that grew out of the war between the South and the north he had the additional Work of protecting the front:ersmen in this atate from (he tomanawk aud scalping knife of the border savages. The larger pro- portion of the able-bodied men of the state were in the army,and were fighting southern rebels. Governor Saunders issued a proclamation cali- g for volunteers for frontier ser- vice against the savage foes. hearty and cheerful response was given to this cail, and as a result, the Indian depredations ceased. For many years bgfore the Union Paeific railroad was chartered by Congress Governor Saunders was a zealous advocate of a trans-conti- nental highway of the nation. In is message fo the legislature in 1871, be alluded to the subj:ct in the following language: “A mere glance at the map of the country will conviuce every intelligent mind that the great Platte valley, which passes through the heart and runs nearly the entire length of Ne- brasks, is to become the route for the great central railway whlch is to connect the Atlantic with the Pa- cific stutes and territories. Through Nebraska must pass, within a few years, not only the trade and travel between the eastern and western portions of our own country, but al- 50 most of the trade and travel bet- ween the old snd new world.” When the bill was finally passed to authorize the compeny to bwld the Union Pacific railroad, be was made by cougress one of the commissioners, or incorpor- ators, to give practical form to the measure. Shortly after the meet- ing of the commissioners, which took place in Chicago in 1863, the company was organized, and on the 24 of December, 1863, Governor Sauuders participated in the break- ing of ground for this great uational work. In the legislative assembly, Feb- ruary 10th, 1885, the council , by a vote of ten yess to two nays, and by a nnanimous vote in the bouse, endorsed the general policy of his administration, and asked the Pres- ident of the United States to re-ap- point him for the ensuing four years. Nebraska’s admission tuto the Union before she had the requisite population was largely due to the energetic efforts of Governor Saun- ders. In 1867, when our first Btate Legilature was called upon to clect two United States Senators Governor Ssunders came within one vote of being elected, and his defeat was due to the treachery of pretended friends. In the memora- ble Benatorial contest of 1871, Gov- ernor Saunders was the chief com- petitor of Sensior John M. Thayer, when he was again defeated by the betrayal of base politicians, who pretended to advocate his claims. No man has. contributed more to- ward bullding up the material in- terests of Nebrasks, and particular- 1y of Omaha, than Alvin Ssunders. He bss been largely instrumental in the building of railroads and tel- e5eeph, the development of our ag- rizultural resources, and the estab- lishment of educational institutions. — Tiav.

Minutes Made by tne Lieutenant Geovernor,Sir R rd Templ From the Gazette of Indi In an area of rome 3,000 square miles, out of 1,062,000 persous sud- denly thrown into more or less of danger, 215,000 must have perished. This, of course, is oaly an esti- mate; the exact number ¢annot be known yet awhile, perhaps be never will be known. We found in_some villages 30 per cent. of the inhabitants lost, in others 50 per cent., in some even 70 pef cent. There was a severs cyclone in the Bay of Ben 3iat of Uctober. But is was not thé wind which proved so destructive, though that was bad enough; 1t was the storm wavs, Eweeping along t5 & height of from ten to twealy feet, according to different localities; in some places, where it met with any resistance, it Fount: ed even hlgher than that. evemig the Weather was a little windy and hazy, and had been somewhat hot; the people, a mil. Tion or thereabouts of souls, retired 10 rest, apprehending nothiing. But before 11 o'clock the wind suddenly freshened, and about midnight there arose & cry of “The water 18 on us,” aud a great wave burst over the country several feet high} it was followed by sucther wave, and again by a third, all three rushing | rapidiy -mknw..rd, the air and wind being chilly cold. The people were thus catght iip before they had time aven to climb on to their foofs, and were lifted to the siitface of the water, together / with the beams and thatches of their cottages.

An Awful Thing to be a Minister of Ol md Yet Nota Christian. New York Sun, Mr. Beecher's sérifloil yesterday worning Yad an indirect but uu- nistakeable reference to the Mau- hattan Congregational Assoclation, recently formed and numbering among its members many of the lnsmlqtem of Mew York and Brook- vt qnlnl that the_preaching of the Gospel, even by bad men for bad purposes Him atall. He epoke of the inde- pendence of churches. He had no dasice to take & long needle and a subtle thread and sew other church- s to his skirts. To all of them, to the Romanists, the Presbylerians the Episcopaliaus, he said “go on and do good in your own w Ouly see to it that the Christ you preach is a Christ with a heart, and Dot merely a theologian.” But how scarlfying it was to any denomination tv sée a minister ar- raigtied for letting women preach in bis pulpit!” How pitiful to see men with imperious consciences — especially when they did not know the difference between couscience and combativeness! It was an aw {ul thing to be & minister of Christ and yet not to bea Christian ; to preach the Master’s gospel for thir- ty, forty, fifty yeurs, and get no par- ticle of the fragrance that impreg- pat:d His garments, “Don’t you think,” he said, “that the hourds of love are better to run down heresy than the hounds of cozsclence? How painful it 18 to see munisters of Christ growing jeal ous in their old age; and Fow sweet to watch them becoming mellow as they grow older.” It is not any remissness of doc- trine that weighs with me 1t is inability represent Christ in my ily life. I am an ambassador of Christ, representing Him here as he represents His Fatber. But who, with his voice, can represent the volce of thesea? Who, with voice and hand, can represent the sweep- ing storms of summer? If & butter- fly snould wing its way into my room and say, ‘I am sent by the king of insects to represent you!’ how I should smile thatan insect should be chosen to act as my rep- resentative. Yet my errand is more profound, more awful, called upon, with all my trailties, to represent my Lord and Master.” + Mother’s Pitiable Deliriam. The evil effect of 1l advised preaching upon weak minds is illustrated by the following account in the New York Sun of the 1lth: Early ou Haturdsy morning a milkman discovered a woman al- most nude iu the Flatbush road. She wasloudly bemoaning the death of her two children, aud was call- ing on Heaven not to send them to hell. Having pacified her, he as- certained that she lived at 1,175 Myrtle avenue. Her husband, Mr Henry Bobenhausen, was overjoyéd on her return home, and strove to drive from her mind the terrible ballucination which had taken pos- session of it. A few days alter the burial of her little ones, she became mpressed with the belief that a ser- mo. which the Rev. J. Raber de- Livered, on “‘Eternal Punishment,” had reference to her children. The thought crazed her. Stealing from the house, she went to the ceme- tery, sought out her children’s graves, and attempted to exhume their bodies. In her delirium she called for her babes, ssying that if she could only get them out of their graves, they would not eink down into hell. Yesterday she wus sent to an asylum. —— Food for the Poor in Baltimore. B Itimore Sun, ‘The distribution of food to the poor from the police stations has become a feature of the winter charities of Baltimore. Bines Dec. 10 about 50,000 persons have been relieved at the six_police stations. Most are supplied with tickets, far- mshed by the policemen on the duf- fereut beats.

Nullifying the Law Prohibiting the Intermarriage of Whites and Blacks. Raleigh News. The other morning a man sent to the office of the_ Register of Deeds to get a marriage license. The Dep- uty Register was surprised to hear in response that the man was white and the woman colored. Of course the license was refused. In the afternoon we were in the register's office, and the man who had wanted the license entered. He had come fo inquire why it was retused bim, and, though he had it fully explained that the intermar- riage of races was illegal, he left evidently not at all satisfled. There was present in the offic & gentleman, to whose mind the cir- cumstances recalled an incldent of bygone times. He remembers to have heard a Hessian who came in- to Halifax county, in this State, just at the end of the Revolutionary war, and became much infatuated with & negress living in the neighbor- hood. There was a legal prohibi. tion, a8 now, of the intermarriage of the taces, but a clause of the law provided that if a white man desir- Ing to marry a negro woman, or vice versa, would appear before & Justice and make oath that he or she had negro blood In his or her veins, the marrisge might be solemnired, The Hessian was aware of this law, and eo, 1n_order to dodge its intent, a8 well s to shield himself from In. diotment for perjury, he drew about 2 pint of blood from the arm of the negrees, drank it, and then went forthwith and made the necessary oath before a magistrate. The mar. risge was theroupon solemnized, and the descendants of the couple are stil living in Halifa: —— Hard Times for New York From the Hartford Times. New York pastors, with very fow exceptions, complain of the diffi- culty of getting enough money to pay the current expenses of their cburches, and many are obliged to *‘shin around,” s they say in the street, to obtain cash (often by loan) to equare up on settling day. A good deal of the money loaned on on church buildings by eavings banks and insurancce compauies is, 1 think, rather unsafely placed. I know one church, with a cong; tion not over wealthy, which car- ries mortgages to the amount of $00,000. The property would hardly bring that smount if 1t were offered by aetion. Another churoh, still less wealthy, 18 mortgaged for rches. —— One Pgtato By Mail. Worcester Spy.
