The play selected by Miss Morris on this ocestin, was Jaue Egre, one of her favorite parts. The gross receipts amounted to $1,795.50, all of whica sum Miss M. sent to the editor of the New York Herald, who first suggested, aud also sub- scribed largely toa fund for the erec- tion of a magnificent monument over the remains of the lamented Custer. NoBoDY seems to care much for & ma1’s history until he comes up for office. Mr. Welsh, the lately ap- polnted Minister 0 Eagland, of whom it was at first eaid that noth- ing could boraked up agarast him and that he was, and always had been, aun exemjlary Quaker, etc, ete., now finds that eve:y act and deed of his life is being overhsuled. These prying people have ascer- tained that Mr. Welsh is interested in a plantation on the island of Uuba, and that he is part owner of the gaug of rlaves that are a part of the farm. 8> he is called = clave- holder, and s asked to rise aud ex- 1Ix his forthcoming aunual report Postmaster General Key will again eall sttention: t> certan eccentricl- ties in the compensation of postmas- ters. An effort wa: made in this direction last year, but Congress failed to fally adopt the propositions of the department, so that, in a great measure, the proposed equalization of salaries has fuled. In many of the smaller towns, postmasters are Tecelving & compensation as great ous practices mot consistent with their duties to the department. It isnow proposed to place & heavy penalty upon the sale of stamps for less than their face value by post- . of New York, hss iutroduced a bill in the House en- titled “an ect tosimplify theuations. baii1og laws and to remove all un- necessary restrictious and burdens therefrom.” It is proposed in this bill i abelish national bauk taxes on capital an1 deposits, relieve these banks from government supervision and permit them to contro] their re- serves, which are to be reduced to 25 per cent. National banks ate to be allowed to keep their moneys where their best interests dictate; State and local taxation on nationsl bank shares is to be limited to one per cent, and bank examinersare to be abolished. Finally, it provides that all ex- penses whatsoever relating to the national banks shall be taken from the fuud desived from the tax cn national baoks. This is certainly the most auda- clous movement in the interest of nadonal bank menogclies that has yet been undertaken in Congress The proper titie for this bill would be “An act to relieve national banks trom all responsibility or accounta- bility to depositors aud creditors, ana removye the burden of taxation from them to the people and give them linitless poer to fuvest the money of their depositors in wild cat speculation and stock Jobbiug.” POLITICAL COERCION. Political railroading, like political bauking, is always rieky, sud while successful in some instances proves dissstrous generally to those who engageinit. The BEE has already cited the case of bulldozing that was attempted by the managers of horse raitroadsin New York City Iast Tues- day. We havealso chronicled the sig- nalrebuke administerea tothese bull- . he is Gov. ¢ dozers by the voters of the Sth New York Senatorial dstrict. And now the true inwardness of the politicsl horse rallroad campaign has leatked out through the New York papers. The New York Zribune of the 9th priats an interview with Tbomas Eclesine, the successful cand.ate: aud also with Henry A, Newell, su- pe-iatendent of fue horse railway. Kach gave his own version, but Mr. Newell’s denial is within itself the most remarkable exposure of the in- famies o} potitical railroading that has ever appeared in print. Mr. Ecclesine said that he had in in his possession legal proof that four street railroad companies, the Second, Third, Seventh and Kighth Avenue lines, had interfered with the preterences of their employes, and had attempted to force them to st him. Mr. Eeclesine : 41 say that I have legal proot concernivg these four, and 1 suspect the Sixth Avenue and the Beit Line. They were ouly partially successful, it is true, but I believe that therr action lost me altogether 1,000 votes. The most systematic at- tempts to compel employes to vote against me were made by the Sev- enth Avenee Company. They sent tueir men out two by 1wo, excusing them from ther work. A starter went with each pair, and he kept the tickets in ts own hands until he bad brought them before the poll boxes. Then, when they could not got other tickets, he put the Bixvy tickets in their hands The president of the Becond Avenue Compavy discharged about 100 hands a short time ago, and put iu their piaces men who couid be de- pended ou to vote against me. Now, Isay 1 have proof of these things, and I mean by proof, legal proof, which will bold in court. I have slready taken steps to punish these offenders under the statute.” And now let us read the version of the horse railway managers. Henry A. Newell, the Superin- tendent, who made the arrange- ments with the men to vote, ex- plains the action of the company to be perfectly legitimate and honore- ble. To & Tribune reporter, last evening, he said thal the company employed about 500 men. A large proportion of them areignorant, aud some could not read. It was cus- tomary for many of the mer every year to ask for tickets, so that they could vote in the interests of the company. They were affiliated with no party and had no preference for any candidate. This year it was imporlant to the company that Ecclesine should not be eleoted. In former years the men were told that they could get ballots m the offica. This election a bulletin was posted informing the men that they must get their tickets 1n the office before vot:ng. On the morning of election they were told the company was in fayor of Bixby for Senator, and would like its em- ployes to vote for him. “There was no coercion,” said Mr. Newell “Every man was allowed to vote as be pleased, and every man did vote accordiag to his judgment. We thought some of ‘the workers for Tammany Hall might substitute Ecclesine’s tickets for Bixby’s, and some of the men wowld not l:now the difference. Accordivgly & some- what educated man was sent to see thst they were not cheated.” “Ail taat has been eaid avout the mea being compelled to vote,”” con- tinued Mr. Newell, “is absolutely falsa.” Mark Mr. Newell’s confession. This year it was important to the company that Ecclesine should not be elected. Why was it important ? Because Ecclesine was known 10 be in favor of releiving the Uity of New York from the Horse Railroad Monopoly. A bulletin was posted on the companies premises on elec- tion day 1nforming the men, (con ductors and drivers,) that they must get their tickets at the office before voting They were told the compa- uy was in favor of Bixby for Sena- a8 in some of the larger cities, The | tor and would Like its employes to taesry upon which the postoffice de- | vote for him.

Sterling Morton's Opinion of the Great Nebraska Toady. “A few years ago, according to Dr. Milier, Daniel W. Voorhees was a ‘bag of wind,” and something so much worse that we decline to pub- lish. Now he is a ‘statesman’ of broud aud ‘profound convicti>ns and earnestness of purpose,’ and all that s0°t of tomfoolery, which, to borrow the languaze of Dr. Miller in the Herald, rather confirme something more than a ‘suspicion,’ which has been long ‘indulged’ by the people of this part of the country, that the same man before he has money, before he has position, before he has power, and a United States Benatorship, may be ‘both fool aud knave,’ in Dr. Miller's eyes, and ‘after he gets cither wealth, place or power,’ ha may ‘dawn into s combinatior of saintliness, wisdom and statesmau- siup,’ which make up anything but «a bag of wind,’ and thatother thing which a senze of decency forbids us to name. - o ol o - The peculiarity of the sunflower, which always turns out to meet the rising sun and reflect its rays from 1ts brazen cheeks, is emulaied by faults, snd on account of the same, the Government of the United States and the public have been end are still damaged and deprived of their just and lawfal rights and privileges as stipulated, defined and agreed upon In said acts aforesaid : Therefore, Be it resolved, That the President of the United States be, and is here- by requested to inform the Senate what legal impediments, 1f any, ex- ist which prevent him from execut- ing said laws in accordance with the obligations accepted and agreerents made by the _Union Pacific railroad company and branches with the United Btates, as_stipulated and agreed upon in the several nets foresaid.

PRO RATA 1N CONGRESS, Nenntor Chaffees Resolutions, The following is & copy of the resolutions introduced in the U. 8. Senzte on the Sth inst. by Nenator Chaffee of Uolorado. Whereas Congress did provide in tha actof July 1, 1862, being an act entitled. ‘““‘An act to aid 1 a con- structions of a railroad and telegraph from the Missouri Riyer to the Paci- fic Ocean, and to secure to the Gov- ernment the uze of the same for postal, military, and otber pur- poses,” and also by the subsequent acts of July 2, 1864, March 3, 1869, and June 20, 1874, amendotary thereof, that said raiiroad and bran- ches should be operated and used for all purposes of communication, travel, and transportation, o far as the public and Government are con- cerned,asone conneetcd continuuous line, without any discrimination ot any kind in favor of the business of any or either of eaid companies, or adverse to the road or business of any or eitber of the others; and, upon euch basis and contract with eaid rallrosd company and 1ts branches, did grant to the said Uni- on Pacific Railroad Company and branch companies large subsidies in bonds and lands of the United States, all for the purpose of aiding in the construction of ssid roads, to be operated as aforesaid And whereas the eaid Union Pa- c Railroad Company and its branch companies, being the Ksnsas Pacific :Company, and the Denver Pacific Company, the Central Pe. clfic of Californis, the Burlington and Missouri River Company, snd the Sloux City branch, have hereto- fore neelected and siill do neglect and still do refuse to operate their roads in accordance with eaid ac's of Congress, but have heretofore op- ersted and still do operate them in open violation of the same ; And whereas by reason of said de- | appeal against the Confederate poli- ey of reducing the army to 15,000 men : - Mr. Chairman—1I have been sorry to see in this debate that gentlemen from the West care so little for the lives and property of their friendsin the newer lines of Btates and Terri- tories. It seems singular to me that gentlemen who represent the dark and bloody ground, whose memor- 1e8 are the romance of American history, from Indiana where the field of Tippecanoe raised its hero to the Presidency; from Obio, whose earlier struggles aroused the sympa- thies and called out the assistance of the whole country; from Illinois, where the grass is yet green over the victims of Black Hawk’s bands, should be more liberal toward the new frontier than the far eastern Btates. I know you are farmers and you need economy; but what makes your farms and houses secure? Isit not because we have pushed on be- yond you a cordon of new States and Territories, and have raised a barrier of gallant hearts acd strong arms between you aud the savages that raided your early settlements but a generation ago? Now you have peace; you are beyond inva- sion. Our dauger 15 your safety and our exposure is your security; but should you not extend to us the same sympathy and the sswme pro- tection that the nation far less able then extended to your fathers when your lands were the froutier? Be- cause you are safe are you to ba self- i3h? Does not the blood of your fellow citizens, ay, of your sons and relatives, weigh anything against your dollars because danger is no longer at your own doors? Is all patriotism lost in your desire to save; and will you allow your citi- zens to be butchered, your country mocked at, her flag and its defend- ers sulted because it 18 done far away iu the new country? Why do_you leave us to be mas- sacred? Why leave your flag to be insulted? Why leave us to feel that your promise of protection is simply & mockery and_that the shadow of the American flaz is a snare, delud- ing the poor settler from his own defense that he may be murdered benesth its powerless folds ? Gentlemen, I cannot believe that your apathy to our condition ariees from sellsh indifference. I have fought side by side with the men of Illinois, and Ohio, and Indiana, the frugal tillers of a fruitful soil, and I Kknow they never count the cost of the demands of patriotism. I know the gallant and chivalrous people of Kentucky, atd I believe their Rep- resentative [Mr. Blackburn] when he intimates that they would fly to the rescue of the flag when the most remote point of the most remote | th border was threatened with inva- sion, or the most distant settlement attacked by savages. The difficulty in this case is the difficulty only of making you understand and feel the direct necoesity we are under for the protection that the srmy recruited and filled can afford. And I can only add my voice to that of other gontlemen in saying that not only on the Mexican, but on every other line of our now double frontier ne- cessity exists for succor and increase of the troops already there. My friend from Missouri [Mr. Crittenden] says the Indian war s | *tr¢ over. Joseph captured and Sitting Bull gone. Why, sir, when this Congress adjourned last spring who ever dreamed that you would have a war with Chief Joseph ? And who can tell how many wars you will have before the end of this year with all these Indian tribes? They are threatening everywhere. You have an army of twenty-five thous- and men. Some ask what it is do- ing. It has to desl with and keep down three bundrea thousand sav- ages, brave men who know how to ride, how t5 live in the wild coun- try, who are natural soldiers and who, when armed as they are now armed with breech-loaders and mag azine r:fles, are equal man for man to any troops in the world. That is what your army is domg. It ie holding in check those three hund- red thousand savages. And why has the frontier of Texas not been protected ? Itis because when the Bioux war and other wars broke ont the troops haa to be removed from these to meet the difficulty. An Indian outbreak has just been subdued in New Mexico, another in Arizons; snother may break out to morrow. Some soldiers are mov- ing the Sioux who have treated, others scouring the country for bands who have not come in, Some are on the march to winter stations from the recent campaigns, All along the lines your forces are eversy. where weak, everywhere outnum- oered ; and none could be summon- ed to meet an emergency to-morrow | T without leaving some other point fatally exposed. But tbe gentleman says we will have no more trouble with Bitting Bull, as he is beyond the Canadian border. But what 13 he doing tnere? Heis endeavoring to organize the Northwestern tribee, aud if he suc- ceeds, he can march a force of ten thousand men, equal to any soldiers you can put n the tield, and sweep every settlement before him ; he can clean the country fro = the line to the railroad be‘ore you can or. gavize any force to stop him. Do you think that because he is on the other side of tha line his respect for Queen Victoria or & squadron of Canadian policemen will stop him ‘when he has reorganized his forces and is ready for war ? He will defy them ag he defies you, and will not conceal his intentions. Bitting Bui! has the merit of having been con- sistently hostile; aud, mark me,the next ne s you get of his movements will be that he is again preparing to carry on that waragainst the United States, which, for eighteen years, he has waged with so much profit and | glory to himself. Look for & moment at the history | of that chief. Born in a foreign Iand, as he himself avows, where | Indian and white alike obey the | 1aw, he sought the opportunity of making & name and record for him- | self among his people by coming to | = ities, which our policy made poss ble. He crossed to this side of the this country aud engaging in hostil- \ line, joined in the first hostilemove- ments against the whites in 1858, has persistently fought us ever since, and from a poor, ordinary Indian, without hereditary rank or family influeuce, he has made bimself rich, powerful, and celebrated among his people by waging uncessing war on the insufficient forces and unprotected frontier of the United Btates. Do you suppose that the same dream of ambition does not lurk in the heart of many another savages? They have heard of the barvery of their fathers from theday of childhood; they have listened to the boastings of older wurriors and braves; they have been taught that it 1s the duty of every man to make himself a record in the blood of his enemes; and as you have your ambition and I bave mine, so they have theirs; and the great ambition of every aspiting epirit among them Is to unite and organize their race and make war upon the whites. I acknowledge much tbat has been said about their wrongs, and members know how earnest an advocate 1 have been on this floor for reform in our lndian policy. But 1t is your policy and the people of the frontier are not responsible for it. Until you change it and while you sre changing it you owe them that protection Which government is_instituted to give to its citizens. You may im- prove your polizy and be able to re- duce your forces. But be not too sanquine of the success of any eystem. No matter what you may door what policy you msy adopt, there isan irripressible con- flict between the civilization and savagory whih must be waged unt’l one 18 triumphant and the other submoits. An Iron Concert Hall, A novel building is just built at Carnarvon, North Wales, for the purpose of supplying Carnarvon with a sutable vublic ball, large enough to accomm date at least 6,- 000 persons. ‘The pavillon Is the Iargest public hall in the Principali- ty, being 200 feet long and 100 feet wide. It is built ir: three spaus or bays, thirty four feet high to equare and fifty-four feet high to the apex of the ventilator. The main roof is carried by wrought iron principals, ratters of T-iron, and ties, strat-rods, and braces of round iron. The prin- cipals are supported by castiren col- umns, having ornamented caps and cantilever brackets, springing from the square part of the column. The lean-to roo’s are supported by tim- ber rafters, struts, and tie-beams, resting upon brackets cast on col- umps to receive the same, and upon the side framing, which is timber, as the gavle end framing. The 100, sides and ends throughout are boarded, stained and varnished ; and on the boarding is laid a layer ot non-conducting, inodorous felt, to prevent the possibility of draught and to render the accaustic proper- ties cf the building more complate. Galleries extend along almost the entire leagth of each ide, supported by timber beams, bearers, and strats; wide pitch-pine staircases leading to and from the galleries to the level of the floor, and the galleries being protected along the front byan elab- orate ogee eection railing of suitable design in cast iron. The exterior of the pavilion is entirely coyered with galvanized corrugated ion. The lighting of the building is arranged by means of segment and othcr lights at each erd of the ball; at the sides by continuous lights along the main and lean to eaves, and by circular-heaped French casements, the latter of which are all made to oven for ventilation, aud a continu- ous ventiiator alzo runs along the entire length of the main roof.
