Matt can sppreciate picturesque scenery when it is set off in ostrich feathers and glitters in diamond spra; Tax -o;und case in the U. 8. ocourt st Yankton against Dr. Livingstone, | late Indian at Crow Creek, ended Saturday last. The prosecution oc- cupied over a day with evidence while the defense put in no defense. With- out retiring, the jury rendered a ver- dict of acquittal. Russia is passing through the pre- liminary crisis of grest revolution. The Czar has put the most populous districts including the Russian capital under martial law,with leading Gener- als as military Governors, which goes to show that the Government is in desperate straits. Coxcressmex who have returned to Washington from northern Penn: sylvania, report the people in the northerntier of counties are thorough- ly aroused, and the feeling towards the Democrats is almost as bitter as during the rebellion; that the war spirit of the peaple is up, and they demand that the Republicans in Con- gress and the President shall not com- promise with rebel dictation. —_— Trx Chinese who go South to labor on the cotton and sugar plantations will not endure the insults and abuse the colored laborer has had to put up with. The Chinese are as revengeful as the Indian or any other copper-col- ored race, and if they are beaten or abused will have revenge soon as an opportunity presents itself. The bru- tal overseer will soon_gome to grief if heapplies the lash to the Chinese la- borer. Axy Governor of any State of the Americsn Union who says he will never interfere to pardon or commute the senteuce of a condemned criminal convicted of capital crime, is unfit to be the Governor of any State, just like that inflexible fellow in Vermont, who permitted the judicial murder of ir i ical motives.—[Omaha Any Governor who thwarts and de- feats the ends of justice by setting his own judgment above that of & coro- ner's jury, sixteen grand jurors, twolve petit jurors, one district judge and a majority of the supreme court, for the protection of an assassin through the exercise of the pardoning power, excepting where new and re- liable evidence is produced establish- ing_the innocense of the convicted, is unfit to be the Governor of any State —least of all'the State of Nebraska. Tnstead of being an accessory to the judicial murder of Phair, the Gover- nor of Vermont is entitled to the re- spect and ccnfidence of his constitu- ency, for being inflexible in his deter- mination not to misuse the pardoning power. New facts developed since Phair was executed fully establish his guilt and the justice of his conviction and execution, notwithstanding his protestations of innocence on the scaf- fold, which ninety-nine out of every hundred murderers convicted upon circumstantial evidence do with as much emphasis and show of sincerity as Phair. —_—— By all odds the most vital issue for the people ef the West, and particu- larly the producers of the region west of the Missouri river, is the question of cheap transportation. No matter how productive our lands are—no matter how well our soil and climate are adapted to grain and cattle rais- ing, the vital question is how much has the producer to pay for transport- ing his grain and cattle to market? That the development and future prosperity of Ncbraska are in a great maasure dependent upon cheap trans- portation every intelligent person conceeds. That there are great abuses in the present transportation system nobody dares deny. It is only by exposing the oppressive exactions - and unjust discrimi- nation of transportation monopolies that the people can hopo for redross of their grievances. Among the most flagrant abuses which have become the common practice of western ralway companies, is the discrimination against stock-raisers, which is pointed out by Major Balcombe in a letter that appears aver his name in another column. No branch of industry promises greater benefits to all classes of our producers than meat packing and the exporting of ‘meats in the smallest compsss. The development of this industry caunot, however, assume the proportions ‘which it should grow to .aslong as the transportation com- pnies discriminate against this indus- try by charging high rates. Unless Major Balcombe has been isin- CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN NE- BRASKA. The tragic end of Dr St. Louis, and the appoaching exscution of that woman-butcher Richards, is the source of & good deal of sentimental bosh about the brutality and inhu- manity of capital punishment. Now the prime object of capital punish- ment is not so much the punishment of the assassin by retsliation in the killing of his body, as the protection of society against a dangerous brute. The law of capital punishment is derived primarily from the Mossi® code which is based onthe isw of self- preservation. The following extract from that law forcibly illustrates the objects of capital punishment. The twenty-irst chapter of Exodus, verses 28 and 29, read as follows: 1f an ox gore a man or & woman that they die, then the ox shall be surely stoned: but the owner of the ox shall be quit. But if the ox were wont to push with his born in time past, and it hath been testi- fied to his owner, and be hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed & man or wom- an, the ox shall be stoned, and his cwner alao shall be put to death. Here we have the basis of the law of capital punishment. The average murderer is endowed with the same bratal instincts that make a mad bull running at large dangerous; and so- ciety, as & matter of self-protection, makes him forever harmless by exe- cuting him. Under the Mosaic code the owner of a mad bull was responsi- ble for the killing of man or woman, and punishable for murder— if he al- lowed the beast to run at large, know- ing his vicious disposition, and for the same reasor. the Governor who would sotan assassin at large ought to be held as an accomplice to the next murder commitied by the liberated man Richards, for in- stance. His slaughter of half a dozen men and women was committed, not for lust or lucre, but by a mania for killing. Does anybody doubt that he would kill again if he had a chance? Suppose his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, would he not kill when an opportunity offered itself forescapefrom the penitentiary | And yet Richards was ‘convicted upon his own confession, which without corrob- orative evidenca is as anreliable as the protestations of Dr. St. Louis were of his innocence. Then why all this sen- timentalism about capital punishment? Tsn't this harvest of murderers only the fruit of our past leniency! The editor of this paper has lived in Ne- braska * nearly sixteen years, and during that period not less than torty men, women and children have been murdered in Omaha alone, and fully as many have been fatally beaten, shot, stabbed and poisoned in other sections of the State. In all these sixteen years just one Nebraska murderer has been executed on the gal- lows. The othershave forthe most part been set at largs through pardon bro- kers and only about half adozen re- mainin the penitentiary awaiting their chance for another raid on society. TaE death of General John A. Dix will produce profound regret among all patriotic citizens of this country. Few Americans have lived a more eventul and honorable career. John A. Dix was a native of Boscawen, New Hampshire, where he was born July | 24th, 1798. Euotering the army in : 1812 he resigned after sixteen years' service and entered upon the practice of law. He actively entered politics as a Democrat in 1842, was elected to the assembly in 1845; was made Sena- tor in Congress for the unexpired term of Silas Wright; in 1852, was appointed Assistant Treasurer of the United States in New York city, and in 1859 was made postmaster; in De- cember, 1860, he was appointed Presi- dent Buchanan's Secretary of the Treasury in place of Howell Cobb. He served under President Lincoln’s administration, taking decided ground for the Union, and has always been ranked one of the strongest adherents of the Republican parcy. At the outset of the war he was appointed a Major General of the New York National Guard; in May, 1861, commissioned Major General of United States vol- unteers, and subsequently received the sawe rank in the regular army, and had charge of the department of Mary- land in 1862, from whence he was transferred to Fortress Monroe. Dur- iug the riots in New York he was mil- itary commander of that department. He was appointed minister to Paris in 1866, and in 1872 elected Governor uf New York. He was again nominated in 1874, and defeated by Tllden. This ended his political career. General Dix was one of the active supporters of the Pacific Railroad scheme and when the Union Pacific Railrosd Company was organized he became its President, which position he held until after the road was com- pleted. Tuves kissed General Taylor on ‘hisdeath bed, and the New York Post destroys all the sanctity of the thing when it wickedly calls it a “‘campaign kiss.” The same paper adds: “The old gentleman will shortly cause the literary bureau to work up this melo- dramatic incident into gushing articles for the country editors of the South. Tt will son be in the hands of some smart advertising agency for trans- mission into & hundred forms. The soene is doubtless to b illustrated on the sensational patent medicine plan, and will form a valusble addition to Mr. Tilden's collection of pictorial politics.” —_— DOOGRATION is turning. About ten thousand Prussians have been ordered to take up homesteads in Siberia. Towa paid for fire insurance lastyear $1,616,809.88, of which $459,938.36 went to the State companies, and §1, 066,871.62 into the coffers of eastern capitalists. The losses for the year foot up to the sum of $590,875.11, of ‘which $137,683.38 was paid by State companies, and $453,191.73 by other LM whostole his inva- Iid wife's money and jewelry in Des FREICHTACE OH LIVE STOCK. J The Railroad Companies Be- tween the Meat Producing Region and the Seaboard Discriminate Against our Paramount Interest. The western half of Nebraska, Kan- sas, Dakota and Montana and Colorado, nature has devoted almost exclusively to the growing of cattle, sheep, horses and mules. Eastern Nebraska is to market a large portion of its agricul- tural and manufactured products in this stock-raising and mineral region and market its bountiful corn crops by condensing them into additional flesh on cattle purchased from the above great nursery, and the sheep and hogs it produces for the eastern markets. In the near future meat produc- tion is to be the paramount interest of this entire community; whatever inju- rious burden is imposed upon this bus- iness, concens our general welfare more than that of all other interests combined, and there is one feature of this vital interest which has never been brought to public notice by the Press of this community, the most deeply interested portion of the Re- public, viz: the freightage and other charges on live stock and fresh meats to the eastern and European markets. Of course our meat product must be tranbported a long distance to find an ample market; a very large portion of it finally reaches the seaboard, and scme the European markets. Its transportation costs three orfourtimes it production, hence its transportation is the most important element. There are about four thorough rail- road lines between us and the sea- board, and they are all in pool com- binations, and for some unknown rea- son they are more severe on this o paramount interest than on any other; “they charge the producer about twice as much for simple transporta- tion per car load of live stock than they do for carrying any other staple article to the eastern markets, and what is still more unaccountable_they charge for transporting a refrigerator car loaded with slaughtered cattle more than they do a car loaded with live stock. It is estimated that the railroads of the entire country trans- port about 100,000,000 of cattle, sheep, horses, mules and swine every year, and_when you contemplate the fact that the producers of stock are charged twice as much freightage on their products as is charged for the transportation of any other staple ar- ticle, you must realize that the amount involved in this unjust discrimination ““is enormous;” and there isno other community of people in this Republic 50 vitally interested in this subject as this the great central stock growing region, 80 far from the great body of consumers. Therefore, this gross dis- crimination against this great and growing interest should be thoroughly discussed, for it is through such in- vestigation, in'this country, that in- justice is brought to light and finally remedied, by the force of public opin- ion and legislation. Will some one be 8o kind as to ren- der some good reason for this dis- crimination against our special indus- trg? Undoubtedly a specious showing may be made in favor of a small per- centage of increase of freightage charges on live stock and fresh meats, over those other freights on account of the supposed greater risk involved; but will anybody dare to say that ex- perience bas demonstrated that it is necessary to charge more than 10 per cent increase to cover this extra liability? Why isit, that twice as much freight- age is charged on a ton of slaughtered cattle, 4s is charged on a ton of wheat, iron, coal or corn? Why is it, that more is charged for trausporting a carload of slaughtered cattle than s charged for transporting a carload of live cattle ! Why is it, that when it costs 860 to obtain the transportation of carload of ordinary freight from Chicago to New York, it costs a §120 to obtain the transportation of a carload of live stock 7 Sr. A.

New Urleans Special, 15th. A serious controversy has occurred between Gov. Foote, superintendent of the mint, and J. H. Acklen, mem- ber of Congress, because Gov. Foote refuses to appoit Acklen’s mistress, now in Washington. Acklen demands after the adjournment of C that she shall have & placein the mint. Gov. Foote ]:iplied, that the places are filled by ladies of the highest re- spectability, every one of whom has furnished unquestioned recommenda- tions. He declined to take bread cut of the mouth of a decent woman to feed s Coagressman's strumpet. A letter from the woman addressed to Gov Foote proves her to be extreme- ly illiterate.

There is another effect it will have beyond any sort of doubt. It will re- open the Chinese immigration ques- tion with ten-fold force. California may not want the Chinese; if the South is robbed of her labr, she will, and what is more, she will have them. Those who imagine that a section of the Union that produces 5,000,000 bales of cotton, and rice, sugar, tobac- <o, etc., in proportion, will submit to being deprived of any material part of its labor, are poor judges of the spirit of our people. There is already a movement on foot to call a convention of leading men of the States bordering the Mississippi Valley to take into consideration this matter. The largest cotton producers, merchants, business men of all sorts, and men who count their wealth by hundreds of thous onds of dollars, are fully in favor of at once starting a line of steamers between New Orleans and China that will bring millions of laborers here if necessary. One individual of those who have inaugurated this counter movement_produces 10,000 bales of cotton, and declares that he will start aline of vessels himself rather #han want for labor,to carry on his planta- tions. Another one declares he will go to China himself rather than want for labor. Hundreds and thousands will go intoit. Southern Congress- men will be requested to change front on the Chinese mmigration question, and instead of circumacri ing the Burlingame Treaty, will be re- quested to use all the means in_their power to secure terms more liberal and pleasing to the Chiness.
