Tae headless trunk of our decap- Stated postmaster is trying to organ- jee s revolt among Nebrasks Re- publicaus against President Hayes, because he has seen fit to withdiaw the federal troops from the Soutb Carolina Btate house. The real cause of this inciplent mutiny is, however, President Hayes' with- drswal > rations from the defunct funotionary whole sole sustenance &lnce he came to Nebraska has heen public plunder. e Few persons have any ides what » revolution the Pacific railroads - bave made in jhe tea and silk trade. The special fast freight train of twenty cars, containing teaand silk, from San Francisco, March 20, vis the Baitimore & Ohio line, resched New York last Friday evening, making the trip in ten days This tea was denvered in New York in about thirty days after its shipment from Hong Kong, and may be put 10 London ip forty days. The best time by the Huez canal is 112 days, and by sailing vessel and steamship by other routes this time 18 extend- ed to 150 or 175 days. 'This shows conclusively that tes and silk must all go over the Pacific roads. —— RussiA has set a commendsble example to the United States in the inauguration of s policy to encour- age home manufactures. An jmpe- risl order bas recently been issued forbiading the importation of loco- motives snd promulgating the | schedule of subsidies for the home manufacture of rolling stock. ‘Whether inteutional or unminten- ‘tional, this is a severe blow to Great Britain, and especially a blow to the free trade policy, which in the past has proved #o profitable to Joha Bull. It is most emphatie, practical declaration that Russia 1n- tends tomaintain her policy of en- couraging home industry sand 1nternal improvement. ——— THE activity of Tnomas F. Hsll in yesterday's election was & thing fearful and wander:al to bebold.— | {Republican. This paragraph, bearing the un- mistakable esr.marks of ex-Post- | Taster Yost, is evidently an attempt 1o draw public sattention to the marked contrast Letween his own | peliticas activity and that of bissup- cessor 1n office. And this fact only proves that Postmaster Hall thor- oughly comprehends the spirit of etvil service reform that yprompted President Hayes to order the uncer- emonions removal of Mr. Yost. Uoder Mr. Yost's regimethe post- office building had been converted foto a political barracks, where bummers aod tramps were congre- gated at all bours of the night and day. The costly oarpets and solid farniture of the postmaster’s apart- ments, which should, with fair ‘usage aud ordinary care, have been @erviceable for ten years st least, bavebeen worn out within o many ‘months. Postmaster Hall proposes to de- wote his entire time to the business of his office, and the apartments of the postmaster are hereafter to be reserved strictly for business purposes. While exer- cising his rights and duties as a citi- men, he proposes to let the people ‘manage their political affairs with- out interference on his part or on & part of his subordinates. In new departure Mr. Hall will only carry into practice the reforms which the BEE has so persistently advooated for the past six years. — ‘A SUBSTANTIAL VICTORY. ‘The Republicans of Omaha have won a substantial victory in our punicipal elestion. They have eiected their entire city ticket, with ihe exception of the Treasurer, by ‘msjorities ranging from five to nine bundred, and they bave elected five cutof the seveu Councilmen that ‘were voted for in the various warde. This highly gratifying result was echieved without any organized ef- fart, and the overwhelming majori- tige by which the new city officers ware elected is dve muinly to the fact that the Republicans had nom- insted an ubexceptiopable ticket. The re election of Mr. Hartman 1o the City Treasurership is to be as- cribed to the fao: that he has credi tably administered the office during e purt two years, to his persistent #d untiring eforts tc secure a pop- isr endorsement, and last but not Jeast to the betrayal of Mr. Jacobs Jobbery st the expense of the gov- by the same gang of political cut- throats that compassed the defeat of Judge Thurston and District Attor- rey Connell within the past two ¥ ars. POLITICAL NOTES. the President ay satisfied. ‘There are, however, a good many who bave no chsnce to interview bim, and they are generally not satisfled. « What the Democratic party wants,” says Nasby, “in order to succeed in 1880 is universal ruin,” and the party organs are trying to bring it about by doleful predictions and significant shakes of the head and long-drawn inspirations. Senator Christiancy is settled so comfortably in his chair that he rs- fuses to be allured by Mexico or the Supreme Bench. It1s but too evi- dent thst Mr. Christisncy has a frosty disregard for the budding as- pirations of the Hon. Zach Chand- ler. The treacherous betrayal of Mr. J oobaby the partizans of the de- f ‘nct Benator stands in marked con- t-ast with the overwhelming major- i'v by which Col. Wilbur, a near relsive of the Nenator, is elected as the head of our municipal govern- ment. This contrast is a matter of e neratulation to those who, with us, have particlpated on the winning side of thelate Senatorial campaign. ‘We are gratified to know that no man mppreciates this more than our Mayor-elect, Colonel Wilbur. - It is to be hoped thie has been the last election in Omahs when honest Republicans like Connell and Jacobs, whose characters are unim- peachable, shall fall the victima to factional malice and treachery. When a gentleman tells you re- gretfully and in confidence that be is afraid that Mr. Hayes has under- 1aken too much, or that Mr. Hayes knows hardly encugh of practical politice, or that Mr. Hayes 18 begin- Dning to disappoint bis friends, 1t 18 safe to infer that this dejected pil- grim has recently returned from Washington with the assurance that there were ‘no vacancies.” SENATOR SAUNDERS AND THE DEADWOOB POSTOFFICE. ‘The appointment of a notoriously ‘bad man to a federal office always affords Sam. Tilden’s Omaha man Friday, Dr. Miller, who engineered the Cronin movement in Oregon, the most unalloyed pleasure. Thus it is thac this great reformer in the eame breath assures the readers of the Omaha Herald that ‘‘the Re- publican party is dead snd eternally damned, Do matter what happens,” and “Mr. R. O. Adams cleaned out our junior Benator on the Deadwood postoffice in & manner that must have been doubly mortifying to that distinguished man.” Now there 18 no doubt that this appointment must have been ex- ceedingly mortifylng to Senator Baunders, 8s it is to every decent Republican in this State; and in view of the misstatements that have appeared in print in the ter- ald, and other western papers, con- cerning this matter, we deem it our duty to correct the misapprehen- slons created in the public mind. Before entering on thistask we shall briefly review the career of this man Adams, as far is It is pub- tiely known here : For Governor of New Jersey the most prominent candidates on the Democratic side are ex-Governor Parker, Judge Ashbel Green, John T. Bird, Francls 8. Lathrop, ex- Congressman Teese, Leon Abbett, and Congressman Cutler. Among those mentioned for the Republican nomination are John Hill, Court- landt Parker, Walliam J. Magie, Wm. J. Sewell, ex-Senator Potts, and Garret C. Hobart. Complete officiul returns from the New Hampshire election givea Republican majority of 3,204 for Governor, which 18 a net gain of 646 on the majority last yesr. In the First Congressional district the plurahty of Mr. Jones, Democrat, is forty-five; in the Second district the plurality of Briggs, Republican, 1,101 ; 1n the Third district the plu- rality of Blar, Republican, is 857. ‘The Temperance vote of the State was 848, Not satisfied with the notorlety they have already achleved, tne fillbusters who endeavored to pre- vent the completion of the count of the electoral vote have had iheir pames and s fac-simile of therr re- spective signatures lithographed on acard. The bon mot of Walling— “when traud is law, filibusteriug is putriotism”—is conspicuously dis- played as a foot note. To be com- plete the card should represent s generous section of Bpringer's lip and the whole of Beebe balancing himself on a deek. Adams made bis debut in Omaba some eight or nine years ago ass mercantile clerk and book-keeper, in which capacity he wasemployed by various firme. In 1870, while in the employ of Willls & Andresen, wholesale ana retail liquor deslers, he wes diFmissed, and, if memory serves us correctly, the firm inserted an advertisement in one of the ‘Omaba dailies, cautioning the pub- lic against Adams as an embezzler. Oneof the firm, Mr. Willls, in a conversation with Hon. John Taffe, then Nebraska’s Representatixe in Congress, charged Adams with be- ing an embezzler. After the Sena- torial election of 1871 Adams became Benator Hitcheock’s confidential secretary. Nobody in these parts was surprised at hisappointment. Hitehcock had notor'ously secured his election by bribery, and he needed a confiden- tial clerk who, like himself, versed in corruption, could serve him in the capture and division.of public plunder. How well suited Adams was to this work was developed dur- ring fhe recent legislative investi- gation, when Adams confessed to being chief actor in the Flannagan forgeryand perjury case. By foist- ing Adamson the payrolls of the U. 8. Senate and various departments Hitchoock manuged to secure & cheap go-between in his corrupt A correspondent of a western pa- per, writing from Washington con- cerlung the Speakership, says: “A prominent western Democratic meber of the new House, who has Jjust arrived in Washington from the north and east, says that Morri- eon’s chances for the Speakership are much better than many politi- clans now think. He has been pledged the support of the Demo- cratic delegation from Illinoie, and will count several votes frcm Onio, Indians, and Kentucky to start with. The principal stock in trade of all the candidates 18 the forma- tion of commuttees and awarding of chairmanships. It is thought that Blackburn’s candidacy is more for the purpose of giving him prestige for a commuttee chairmanship than any expectation that ne will be elected. Heisnot committed as be- tween Uox, Sayler and Morrison, but will probably favor the strongest wan in the caucus.” The speech of Senator Morgan of Alabama, in the Senate, favoring the confirmation of Frederick Doug- lass for Marshal of the District of Columbia, is warmly commended by the Southern press. The Mobile Register says of it: ‘The senator voted for the confirmation not only fora negative reason, but also for the positive reason that the Demo- cratic party of Alabama, having so- licited and received large numbers of votes from the colored people, were induty bound to recognize their right to participate in the Govern- ment. Senator Morgan has the courage to do bis duty, and haa the wisdom to see that the line of duty 18 to recognize as an integral part of the body-politic that race which numbers four tenths of the people of alabama—and which, when the issues growing out of the old war have passed awsy, must divide among themeelves and form allian- ces with the more intelligent white race, which itself must mevitably be divided upon those great questions which, from time immemorial,have divided in twain the people of every crvilized government, — RAILWAY NOTES. The Denver & Rio Grande railroad company have increased their cap- :;;)lutock trom $5,000,000 to $7,000,~ ernment. Tn appreotation of these services, Hitchcock made personal appeals 1n bebalf of Adams to his collegues before retiring from the sphere of his Senatorial labors, and thus he secured the endorvement of haif a dozen Senators tor Adams’ application for the Deadwood post- office. Thene Senators had no per- sonal knowledge of Adams’ disrep- utsble character, and the Postmaster General very naturally coneidered their endorsement a sufficient guar- antee. The sppointment of Adams was thus made, and his bonds were exe- cated and filed before Senator Saun- ders had any intimation of the fact. At this stage Benator Saunders en- tered his protest against the ap- pointment, and General Tyner ac-. sured bim that if the charges filed by him against Adams were sub- stantlated, no commission would issus. To substantiate these oharges it required the offisial copy of the Fiannagan forgery investiga- tion. This hus not yet reached the department, but inasmuch as the mail service for Deadwood had been contracted for, the Department de- cided to commission Adams, reserving the privilege of superced- ing bim just as soon as the evidence of his dishonesty shall come into its possession. This, we have no doubt, will reach there at an early day, to- gether with protests of the citizens of Deadwood against the retention as postmaster of s carpet-bag ad- venturer, who had come to the Black Hills with & commission in his pooket, when honset, sturdy pio- neers, who staked their lives and fostunee 1n opening the Hills to civ- ihization, are comp:tent enough to fill the postmastership. The Emlenton and hippenville (Pa.) narrow-guage railroad is to be extended to Claron. Three hun- dred men are to commence grading in 80 days. It 18 pretty definitely settled that the & Alton company will butld a road from Mexico to Kansas City, crossing the Missouri river at or near Glasgow. Only two counties in Pennsylva- nia—Greene and Fulton—are with- outa railroad, and Fulton is pre pared to build one from Northum- berland down to the Baltimore and Ohio rallroad. During the past six weeks the Philadelphia and Erie railroad has been averaging 90 oil cars a day, some days as high as 140 oars. At Eresent there is a heavy demand in the oil region for cars. . ‘The Pennsylvania railroad com- pany are spending immense sums of money in straightening their road between Lancaster and Phila- delpnia There 18 no doubt that it will pay a handsome dividend upon the outlay in saving of track, wheels, ete., since a high rate of speed has become & necessity. An important plece of work is nearly completed this side of Lancaster City, which ';lll shorten the road very consider- ably. A correspondent of the Chicago ‘I'ribune says: “The reliroad pool at Kansas Oity has brought trade t stand-still. In the warehouses there are now over 400,000 bushels of grain, and in cars upon the track 200,000 bushels more. The rafiroads In this connection we may say that General Tyner has doubtless been misled into temporarly ac- ocepting Mr. Adams’ explanation by the fact that he was endorsed by Representative Welch, who, as i well knewn, is Hitchcock’s automa- ton, sud who with Adams hus been a party to some of the corrupt job- bery against which the recent Leg- islature pronounced such an em- pbatio verdict. Every honest Re- poblican in Nebraska will commend Senator Saunders for opposing the sppointment of uotorious corrup- tionists and irresponsible adventur- ers to the public service, no matter webrethe appolntment may be. the interiorto bring grain into kan- sas City, for there is no place to put it. The Ransos City bosrd of trade bave been devising some means to break up the pool and set the wheels of commerce again 1 motion. The 8t. Loms Barge Company has made propositions tothem to send a fleet of veasels to Kansas City and load them there with grain and ship down the river.”” Dispatches from Fort Yuma say that the track of the Southern Pa- cific railroad is being rapidly laid seross what is known as the Colo- rado Desert, the end ot the track eing near Castie Tock and about fitty miles from Yuma. The B terminal depot is at Los Palma, near which an artesian well 300 feet deep has been sunk, which yields a copious eupply of good water for drinking or steam pur- . A second well has just been sunk twenty miles nearer the Colo- rado, with the same results. This is of the first importance, as it solves the problem of railroad oper- ations across this one-hundred-mile dry stretch, and also establishes the fact chat the valleys heretofore regarded as worthless will be very valusble for agriculture. One thou- sand men are at work, and the track 1s expeoted at Yuma in April. A proposal is made to lay a street rallway track of the following de. scription in S8an Francisco : The rail 1t 18 proposed shall be twenty Inches wide at the base and three at the top, over which thecar wheels glide. The roll is hollow and designed to inclose the large gas and water mains eide by side on the base, the conneotions to be made from them into the upper storles of houses along the route. Over these mains an- other tube incloses the telegraph wires, The rail is to be supported on large posts fourteen feet high, and placed at distances of fourteen and twenty feet apart. The posts are to be secured in the sidewalks at the ourbs, and will serve as hitch- ing posts, and, with proper connec. tions with the water mains, hy- drants may be attached to them. We have only one suggestion to make : Another tube should beadd- ed, which should combine the funo- tions of a pneumatic-dispatch tube and s clothes line, and when worn out can be worked up Into pop-guns and spy-glass frames. — INDUSTRIAL POINTS. A broom-handle factory at Shioct ton, Wis., turns out 5,000 broom- handles a day. Of the 80,000 persons employed in watch-making In Bwitzerland, one- third are women. The steel, axe, shovel, and stove works of Beaver Kalls, Pa., all are running with & good supply of or- ders. refuse to send any more cars into | 4 -~ All the manufactories of McKees- port, Pa., are running to their fall capacity, except the car and loco- motiye works. Liynn’s shoe business is estimatea to be 33 per cent. better than a year 8go, most of the factories running over time, andall the hands finding work. Thirty thousand poundsof copper | are used in a month at the shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany at Altoona when all the hands are at work. The Great Western Stove Com- pany, Leavenworth, Kansas, made 14,000 stoves in 1870, which were distributed throughout Xansas, Mis- sour, Colorado, Nebraska and Towa. The company make seventy differ- ent varieties of stoves, and their works have capacity to produce 20,- 000 annually. 1t is reported that the Pennsylva- nia railroad shops at Altoona are now runuing with a full force of hands. They sre employing work- men daily; that is, the old bands. With these works in full blast, the prospeoct for a good spring trade in Altoona looks very bright The shops run us high as fourteen hours per day. The Bouthern Pamp and Pipe Company of Chattanooga, Tenn., is one of the largest manufacturers of wood pumps and pipes in this coun- try, and their facilities for manufac- mri?; and the yellow poplar used by tflem have made them a place in the trade of the Northern States, and their goods are as well or better known in Chicago aud St. Louis than here. Whatever may be thought of the times, many of the Pitisburg (Ps ) manufacturers are running to their full capacity, and some of them are unable to Keep up with their orders. Double turn is the word in the roli- ing mills, while many of the 1idle #1ass works are starting up, and the machine shops tell of marked im provement in orders. Lead mining promises to become one of the foremost of Montana in- dustries. In Boulder and Colorado districtsimmense deposits of galena and oxydized lesd ores ocour, and already five large mines are opened toadepth of one-hundred feet and over. ‘T'he ore, however, is general- 1y to0 low grade in silver—35 to 75 ounces—to stand the expense of shipping and proper smelting works i the vicinity of the mines is ur- gently needed. e — — Mrs. Haves as a Reformer. Philadelphia Times. ‘Whatever mistakes the President may make, Mrs. Hayes undoubted- ly deserves the thanks of every true ‘woman for the stand which she bas taken against extravagance in dress. She has carried to the White House the same quiet aignity and lady- like simplicity for which, according to all accounts, she was disuinguish- ed at home, and her dress on pub. lic occasions, while 1nvariably handsome and becoming the Wife of the President, has also been invaria- bly unostentatious. At the inaug- uration she wore merely rich black mik with real laces, and no jewels save the brooch at her throat. At the Btate dinner given by President and Mrs. Grant to Mr. and Mrs. Hayes her dress was a cameo- tinted silk, high in the neck and irimmed Wwith fringe and lace. She wore no jewels, and her thick brown bair was brushed plamly over her brow and fastened at the back with a tortoise-shell comb. Mrs. Grant was the owly lady 1n low drese, since the other Iadies present wore high corsages in deference to Mrs. Hayes' taste, of which Mrs. Grant, it seems, was ignorant. At even her first reception as mistress of the White House, her toilet was remarkable for its simple elegance rather than for briiliancy or cost, while the dress of her daughter marked her as the child of a sensible and wealthy mother, instead of a premature woman of fashion oz over- dressed doll. Thus early was the example sel. Soclety in Washington during the past fow years has been chiefly re- markable for its recklees extrava- gance, and in nothing has that ex- travagance been. carried to greater lengths than in the dress of its women. The newspapers teem with stories of this; how thousands of dollars have frequently been spent on s sngletoilet. Ithas been open- ly, and o doubt trutbfully, alleged that much of the corruption which the late administration arose rom the desire that wives and dsughters might be gorgeously ar- rayed on state occasions. American women have become a proyerb for extravagance among the nations of the earth, and even roysl visitors to our shores have remarked upon the costliness of their garments. When Nellie Grant was married the des- onj of her trousseau was brought to every farm-house in the weekly mail, and the farmer's daughters strove vainly to copy i calico the reported pleatings and pufiings which adorned her silks. Eugenie's laces, too extravagant in price. to find & pumchaser even among the crowned heads ot Eu- rope, have been hrought to America for eale, and Worth and Pingat live in princely siyle upon revenues drawn from American pockets Fathers expend upon the bridal out- fits of their daughters sums which, invested in real estate or bonds in- stead of silks and laces, would effectually secure them and their chiidren from poverty. The infection has penetrated moreor less into every home. Mothers saori- fice healih and strength at the sew- ing machine in the struggle to keep their children beflounced and be- tucked with the best of their neigh- bors; the table is stinted for the means to buy flimsy silks ; the dry goods bill becomes & terror to the household, and every now and then we read at our breakfast tables the story of some defalcation, the temp- tation to which was roooted in the desire for display. New York ac- tresses spend no small proportion of their large salarles on the costumes for their parts, and these superb dresses, utended to dagzle on the stage, are copled in the drawing rooms of priyate life. ~ Tt is high time for a new depar- | ture. The reform must be elow at | best, but to insure success it can have no better startiug-point than in the White House. True, the wife of the President holds no high- er rank than other women 1 Amer- ica; but as the ‘“Arst Iady of the Republic” she is a8 ‘‘a city set upon & hill which cannot be hid.” Let Mrs. Hayes continue the course she has begun, seconded by the ladies around her, and we shall soon see the good effects of her example. In- deed, according to Washington cor- respondents, this 18 already shown in the simple and modest tone of so- cletyatthe capital. We have no desire to lesd a crusade against dress; nothing eo improves personal ap- pearance, and every woman hasthe rightto make herself as attractive as possible. But the folly of over- dressing has become a serious evil 1n the land, and reform could come at 1o better time than now, in the present financialdepression through- out the country, the general reduc- tion of indomes and the consequent necessity for retrenchment. Mrs. Hayes is reported to have said toa lady the other day that she had some old fashioned ways, but she did not think sho would change them. For thesake of the country it 18 to be hoped that she never will. THE GOLD FIELDS. The Big Horn Country Looming Up An Expedition to Start in April. An Outfitting Polnt Within 150 Miles.
