A pat- ent was issued last Thursday for the ranche “Santa Margarita y las Flores,” to Don Juan Foster. The tract em- braces 133,441 acres. Cuicago shows symptoms of ele- vated railraad fever. Chicago had better defer the pleasure of those high-strung ealliope concerts until she has successfully elevated those mort- gages from her business streets. Bors the Texas Pacific and South- ern Pacific managers express thom- selves satisfied with the House Pacific railroad committee, which indicates that the committee will favor both of these monopolies in any land job or money subsidy they may see fit to ap- ply for. Ara mepting of the New York Board of Trade last week the follow- ing was among the resolutions adopted on the transportatidn questiou: Resolved, That we are in favor of giving to railroad companies the larg- est possible terminal and other privil- egos consistent with the public inter- est, but we deprecate the indiscrimin- ate legislation in their intercst such as has prevailed in the past upon the plea that these franchises were for “public use and benefit,” and after ward treating them as if they were private bodies which owe no duties to the public, and are entirely free from legislative control. Tr the Californians ratify their new constitution on the 7th of May, the wholesale bribery of legislators and public officers by the distribution of railroad passes will be pretty effectu- ally stopped, so far as California is concerned. The acceptance of such “common courtesies,” as the Omaha Herald was pleased to call them, by any public officer will work a forfeit- ure of his office. With such a clause in the constitution of Nebraska there would have been no ““Friday till Tues- day adjournments” by the late legisla- ture every week, and there would have been no difficulty in passing those Umaha bridge resolutions. Tae Louisville Courier-Journal quotes “the recent burning of two white men at the stake in Nebraska” a3 a set-off against the Chisolm mas- sacre. There is this difference: The Nebraska fiends were arrested and are now on trial. The Mississippi murder ers have never been tried, and never will be. In Nebraska public senti- ment at once cried out against the outrage and made its influence felt. Tu Mussissippi, public sentiment ap- proved the outrage and shielded the murderers. —{ Inter-Ocean. Another fact worth mentioning is that the barbarians who perpetrated the Ne- braska outrage hailed from Texas and hesolidSouth. The testimony elicited 1 the murder trial shows the story of ic buruing to have been grossly ex- ;;;gnfllt Unlike the Chisholm mas- sacre, which was au waprovoked, cold- blooded assassination of a respectable law-abiding citizen in the presence of his family, the vietims of the Nebraska massacre were charged with resisting an officer and cattle stealing. Tt was » cowardly murder all the same, and Nebraska justice has not been vainly invoked to vindicate the laws. —_— Tur lower house of the Tllinsis Leg- islature has passed & compulsory edu- cation bill, which it is expected will become a'law. It provisions are as follows: (1) Parents and guardians are re- quired to send all children between the ages of 8 and 14 years to public or private school at least twelve weeks in the year, except in the case of an ex- cuse by the board of education or achool director for satisfactory physi- ©al or mental reasons; an exception is 2150 made-in cases where no public or private school is taught for three months within one and one-half miles from the residence of any person hav- ing charge of children. (2) No per- son o corporation may employ a child under I of age during estab- lished Aoouaun without previously receiving » certificate of the twelve weeks’ attendance required, or an of- end then eoatinuous employment shall not extend beyond forty weeks, ex- =hool attendance as provided; tion s also made of children. ot un- der the control of parents and guard- ians, and entirely dependent upon their own resources for suppost. (3) Persoa or corporation employing children of the established school In violation of these conditions shall hllbkwlfiuolfin-.'”hm the fine, when eollected, hool fund of thy d, goes to the not the means wherewith to furnish a child with the necessrry school books, such books shall be furnished by the Board, to be returned at the expira- tion of the child’s term, (5) Any par- ent or guardian failing to comply with the law is liable to a fine of from 5to 10, which goes to the school fund. (6) Tt is made the duty of Directors and members of the School Boards to prosecute offenses against the law, and any tax-payer in the district maybring suit against such Directors and mem- bers of School Boards as fail in this duty. 5 Gex. Ricuarp Taviom, familiarly known as Dick Taylor, who died in Mew York city Saturday, was the son of “Rough and Ready,” Zachary Tayler, twelfth President of the United States. The distinguished Americans who comprised the funeral cortege, inzluding Hamilton Fish, Wm. H. Evarts, and Senator Bayard, were doubtless paying homage to the memory of the patri- otic father in honoring the recre- ant son. Dick Taylor, who could not have been justly responsible for the treason of his brother-in-law, Jeff Davis, should, of all other men, have been the last to join the rebel- lion, instead of being among the first and most active of its participants. He was the only son of the ex-Presi- dent; had been educated at the ex- pense of the natien at West Point, and held a commission iy the “regular army. Soon after ihe rebellion broke out he was appointed Colonel of the Ninth Louisiana (Confederate) Volunteers, and served through the War, seeing much service, and retiring with the rank of Lieutenant-General; He was engaged in the battle of Bull Run, de- feated Gen. Banks’ Red River expedi- tion at Sabine Cross Roads, and was in turn defeated at Pleasant Hill, Sep- tember 10, 1864. He surrendered to Gen. Canby Mag:4, 1865. Gen. Taylor had been engaged in writing a writing a volume of war rem- iniscenses under the title of ‘‘Destruc- tion and Reconstructicn,” which had just issued from the press. Crycrssam is intensely agitated over the discovery that the Mayor elect and several of the other newly elected officials are ineligible for want of naturalization papers. The agita- tion has created a panic among a cer- tain class of people who have been vo- ting illegally for years, and a perfect stampede has taken place upon the Probate Court by these men to get their final papers of citizenship. Judge Hoadley has been retained by prominent Democrats to contest Ja- ccbs’ seat to the Mayoralty. The Common Council is Democratic, and they declare they will not recognize Jacobs as Mayor. Mr. Jacobs now asserts that he does not know on what day or month of 1835 he was born, but feels assured that he was seventeen vears of age when he left Hamburg for America in February, 1852. Mur- phy, Prosecuting Attorney of the Po- lice Court elect and Setchel, Police Commissioner elect, have neither of them taken ont citizen's papers,putting their dependan®e on discharge from the army. The municipal muddle st Cincinnate therefore promises to be quite interesting. Nepoi1sw is rampant ia the Capitol of the United States since the capture of the Senate by the Confeds. Look at the following list: Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, has made his son clerk of a committee. Senator Vance, of North Carolina, has made one of his sons the clerk of a committee, and has made another an officer of the Senate. Senator Wallace has made his son ax officer of the Senate. Senator Voorhees has obtained an pointment for his son in the clerk’s oftice, of the House. Senator Withers has no sons, but has inade his son-in-law clerk of a committee. Tz Kansas legislature has appoint. ed a permanent committee on the an- nexation of Kansas City to Kansas. The rock upon which this annexation scheme is destined to strand, however, is the legislature of Missouri, which will most decidedly demur to the pro- prosed transfer of twelve to fifteen million dollars of taxable property to Kansas, and the releaso of Kansas City from her share of the State debt of Missouri. JupeixG from the remarks of the Herald upon municipal affairs in gen- eral, and President of the Council Jones, in particular, Dr. Miller doesn't appear to be satisfied with the Demo- cratic victory in the City Council. — Forry centuries look down upon the Khedive from the pyramids su- premely indifferent as to whether he gets another lease from the Sultan oris driven by the bloody Britishers into the Red Sea. — GARIBALDI is seeing Rome from his earriage window.

Now the question is “Who frow’d dat shell ?” Yacove Kuax if he will, but he don't want to sign away his right. He do’t hanker after a mess of pottage. ———— ‘Wholly Superfluous.

FEOM A PROHIBITION STANDPOINT—ANY- THING 10 BEAT GOV. GEAR. Correspendence Pioneer-Press. The outgivings of local temperance organizations throughout the State in- dicate with decided particularity that Mr. A. P. Hewett, Grand Worthy Templar of Towa, will be the candi- date of the temperance party for Gov- ernor. Mr. Hewett is an out-and-out rohibitionist, and the head-center of o temperance party. Hia antece- dents are Republican and his private lite stainless. A compromise is on the tapis whereby it is proposed to nom- inate Hon. Wm Larabee, of Fayette, for Governor, and Frauk T. Campbell, of Jasper, for Lieutenant-Goyernor, in order to harmonize the Republican party. Senator Larabee has served for years in the Towa State Senate, is a man of large fortune and good repu- tation, and his nomination for Gover- nor would at once heal the rents in the Republican party caused by the temperance question. FrankT. Camp- bell is the president Licutenaut-Gov- ernor of Towa, and ran ahead of Gear 10,000 votes. He is a strong man, 8o that the ticket of Larabee and Camp- bell is unexceptionable. It is the ticket that bids fair to sweep the State. Free Ships—Senator Beck’s Bill. The following is the text of Senator Beck’s new free-ship bill, which the Democrats will press with great vigor during the life of thi gress and may possibly pass. The New Eagland and Pennsylvania Democrats,however, will not be bound by sy caucusidegree of their party to vote for a bill of this sort, and the Democrats cannot ex- pect that it will become a law without the aid of Republican votes. The bill provides: That so many ' of the various pro- visions of title: 48 of the revised statutes of the United States, entitled “Régulation of Commerce and Navi- gation,” embraced in Chaps. 1to 9 of said title, and from sec. 4,131 to sec. 4,305, both inclusive, as either pro- hibit or restrict citizeus of the United States, from purchasing ships built in other countries to be used in carrying trade of the United States, or which impose taxes, burdens, or restrictions on ships when owned by American citizens which are not imposed on ships built in the United States, are hereby repealed; and it shall be lawful hereafter for all citizens of the United States to buy ships built, in whole or in part, in any foreign country, and have them registered as ships of the United States; and,when so registered, such ships so bought shall be entitled t0 all the rights, and subjected only to the same regulations, as are now provided by law for the government and management of ships built wholly within the United States, and com- trolled thereof. A Democratic Opinion Worth Heed- New York Tribune. Ex-Senator Barnum, of Connecti- cut, the silent, cool-headed, calculat- ing politician, who has never been suspected of a single rash or ardent sentiment upon any subject, declares that the extra session of Congress and the debate upon the army bill have cost them Democratic party 1,000,- 000 votes!” If an amateur had made such an assertion, it would have at- tracted little attention, in spite of the fact that it is clear to men of both parties how greaily the Demo- crats have damaged themselves. But coming from Mr. Baruum, the re- mark is an unexpected revelation of Democratic consciousness of the posi- tion of the party. He is not the man to make loose generalizations about votes,seeing that he knows the market value of a single vote, of a hundred votes, of a thousand votes, perhaps better than any other man in the Union. When he says that the Dem- ocracy have lost 1,000,000 votes, the party knowing his practical tempera- ment_and his unerrmg commercial sagacity in all matters relating to the ballot, may well pause and think seri- ously of its future. ‘The Chinese Come to Stay. New York Letter to Philadelphia Ledger. The naturalization of Chinamen in our city courts is coming to be 8o com- mon now as to scarcely excite remark. The newest case is that of Mr. Charles Wing, who appeared before Judge Lawrence, in the Common Pless, re- cently, and, after answering the usual questions and taking the customary oath, was admitted to the rights and privileges of American citizenship. The ceremony was witnessed by but few persons. Mr. Wing's witness was one of his own countrymen, Mr Wong Lee, who was himself naturalized not long since. Both of these gentlemen will vote at the next election, and, as things are going, it would not be sur- Frining if Chinamen were running, era ong, as candidates for the board of aldermen or the State legislature. * Superiority ” of the Southern Race, Portsmouth (Va.) Times, (Dem). The real reason of this grand and amazing upheaval of affairs which has resulted in placing the Southern peo- ple in triumph in the chief places of the National Government is due to the grand superiority of the Southern race. Never were such people seen uuder the sun; so grand, so steadfast, so faithful and true, so full of sublime patience, so quiet under unmerited op- pressions, so generous, so brave, 80 full ¢f all fortitude, temperate wis- dom,'and exquisite knowledge how to ey qualities, combined with that wonderful recuperative fac- ulty which is so eminently a Southern characteristic, have produced their natural result, so that now the prece- dence and power of the South in Con- gress is like any other established fact. 1t only remains for our people to show themselves as truly great in the time of their triumph as they have been in the dark hours of their most sad and | go bitter experience. Success is the true touchstone of merit, and we do not doubt onr people will show themselves fully competent to maintain and exalt the honor which has with so much justness been laid upon them. B. k.

Tt is generally presumed that all are familiar with the $1,500 bet between parties start at the same time from San Francisco, Cal., and wheel a bar- row with 110 pounds weight, and who- ever reached New York first was to take the money. Yesterday Feaber- meyer arrived in Wost Kansas, having thus far ,accomplised his journey. Some four months ago they started, Feabermeyer taking the lead and hold. ing it till the present time. He gave a graphic_description of his suffer- ings while crossing the Rocky Mountains, stating the snow was at times two to three feet deep, and at one time he was two days with- out eating. It wasin crossing these mountains that he gained on his oppo- nent and soon left Potter behind. Feabermeyer left Greeley on the 20th, | arriving here yesterday morning. He reported Potter at Kit Carsonon Tues- day, and was now 410 miles ahead of him. During his trip he met with a severe accident at Russell, falling off railway bridge on the line of the Kan- sas Pacific Railway, injuring himself severely and breaking his wheel- barrow to atoms. Outside of this he has not had a great many mishaps. He is a, short muscular German, with a frame of iron and a deterrined manner and look. The | l‘:-{u- he wheelsis made of seasoned | hickory, very light, with large wheels, s paiited ‘saie’ color. ] He stop: | ped for a short time at the Glenn [ House, in West Kansas, yesterday, | and was bored to death with questions, ‘ which he answered good-naturedly. He will leave for St. Louis this moru- ing accompanied by friend and um- . Tho greatest number of miles ever made in one day was 41, fand the smallest 5. He did not seem the least fatigued, and stated he was in excel- lent health. Guilty Then, but Innocent Now. Detroit Post, (Rep.) While in another article we qnote from_the veport of truthful and bold Ben Wade, and from the testimony of eye-witnesses, to show that they knew that Gen. Chalmers was at Fort Pil- low, and was guilty there of the most infamous and damnable atrocities, it must be understood that we make no charges. (Gen. Chalmers may have been guilty—he doubtless was guilty —at that time,and he remained guilty for several years after the close of the war; but he may be may be entirely innocent now! If a court of review should be ordered by the President to 1hvestigate the Fort Pillow massacre, it might conclude that there was not any Fort Pillow massacre; besides, that Gen. Chalmers’ conduct at the massscre was lavdably benevo- lent and'praiseworthily charitable;and recommend him as a proper subject for a Generalship and a pension in the Campaign.” Augusta (Ga )iConstitutionalist (Dem.) As matters are shaping themselves it appears highly probable that the contest for the Presidency next year we be between Tilden and Grant. A campaign with Tilden for the standard bearer on the one hand and Grant_on the other,would be one of the liveliest and most bitter in_the history of the nation. All the battles of the war would b fought over again, and the bloody shirt would be freshly ensan- sanguined for the fray. There would, t00, be such a washing of the dirty linen of both parties as was never seen before. SOLOMON'S Low Prices EFornCASEL NO CREDIT GIVEN—PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR IT.
