To the Editor of Tus Bux. Isee in yonr Weekly a mention of the Utah Essiern. you aware that the Utah Eastern is being built without a charter (it having been vetoed by the governor last session), »nd thet when they get it built they cinoot it; and moreover, they never will, as the Summit County railroad will ran it out? D. N. We were not aware of the above state of facts, but we are by no meaus surprised at it. The railway msg- nates seldom pay aiy attention to their charters, and if some of them are bold enough to risk the building of aroad without a charter, they are ‘atitled to our -admiration. We al- ways have had more admiration fora highwaymsn who boldly compels you to hold up your hands than the sneak wh 1 robk you under cover of a charter. —_— Durvque and the Duoleith railroad Vave been conteading for some time over the question of assessment of $200,000 upon railroad bridge, this aing the amount levied by the county jarisdiction ouly extends to tho mid- cle of the channel, and not to the ivotsl point of the dra 8010 fi;fl. asscasment to. §133, 383~ port Gazette. e Under the operations of the iniquis tiusiJaw- passed by the last logisla- ture, Omshs and- county are ‘robbed of the entire bridge fax.

Had the Union Pacific railroad com- pany carried out thoir solemn contract obligations with Owaha, our popula- tion to-day would have beeu more than fifty thousand and no candid man who knows the facts will deny it. S BAOK-PAY. Under the act granting back pay to oners, which passed congress twelve months ago, Thursday, July 1, was the list day upon which claimants for arrears of pensions could present claims, Accordingto the statistics of the pension bureau thers have been filed since the patsage of the act, June 25, 1879, more than 180,000 original invalid and widows’ claims. Of these 49,311 were filed lsst month. The number of unsettled claims now pend- ing in the Pension office is upwards of 300,000, representing claims aggrega ting not less than §300,000,000 for the first payment. The average amount of arrears paid to each claimant is $1000. The number of claims which the office is enabled to dispose of with its pres- ent force and under the present sys- tem, is about 2,600, of which about 1,800 ace passed upon favorably; the remaining 700 being rejected, and in most cases presented again, snd have to be re-examined in many instances several times over. These are often allowed after being thus rejected. It is estimated that if no more clsims, of any kind, were to be recsived, it would require from twelve to fifteen years to dispose of the work now in hand, under the present system of operations, and without a vast in- crease of force. In addition to the work upon the claims mentioned above, there is the work upon increased claims, bounty land claims, and 1812 pension claims. It will be remembered that Secre- tary Sherman stated, immediately af- ter the passage of the arrears act, that the measure would cost the govern- ment at least $150,000,000. Tbe amount actually paid out for arrears up this time is $32,000,000. This added to the $300,000,000 involved in pending cases, and making a liberal allowance for rajections, will, it is es timated, make the aggregate amount of arrears when all shsll bave been cleared up, more than $100,000,000in excess of Secretary Sherman's esti- mate. —— Tas Democratic politicians mani- fest & good deal of anxiety about the constructlon which the attorney Gen- eralof the United States places on the election laws and especially the law authorizing the supervision of Con- gressional elections by depaty mar- shals. General Davens on this sub- jact saya that whilo o sppropristion was made by Congress to pay these officers, there will be no hesitation to appoint as many as msy be requirad in every State of the Union. Asto the matter of pay, he says that can be provided for, and, if necessary can be pald out of the usual funds subscribed for party purposes. This course he says has always been pursued by both political parties, and he anticipates no trouble in securing plenty of funds and plenty of men to enforce the law whenever required. He says that al- though Congress has repeatedly re- fused appropriations for his depart- ment, he has been enabled, through the co-operation of its officials, to con- tioue its operations uninterraptedly.

Boston Advertiser, July 2. The close of the half-year is suit- able occasion for a brief review of the financisl and commercial events, and for a foreoast of what may be ex- pected in the near foture. The year i iod of remark- ess activity and promise. Daring the six months | 51 that have since elapsed the country has passed throuch a seazon of sharp reaction in all departments of busi ness; but the reaction now seems to have spent itself, and a season of vig- orous recovery hag set in. Prices of goods, which were$dvancing in Janu- sry and continued to advance for a month or two afterward, have had a rapid and prolonged decline. To astrong demand for consumption and by speculators succeeded an most complete cessation of inquiries for and purchase of goods, with ex- ceptions i favor of some classes of merchandise of steady consumption. The stock market, which is usually an excellent indicator of the condition of general business, proved to be so in this case, A sharp and long continued decline took not only in the shares which have ouly a future and speculative value, but in the most olid investment securities below the grade of government bonds. The money market has fluctuated wildly and widely. At the beginning of the year it was working into &* state of comparative ease, and after a few weeks was extremaly easy. Then it suddenly grew tight, and for a short time the rate of interest was unprecedentedly high. During the Inst two months money has been grow- ing more abundant, and can now by had at extremely I while the other conditio reversing themselves. The stock mar- ket has grown activo, and all securi- ties are again advancing; the demand for good has revived not a little, and the tendency of general prices is to harden, if not to advance. The sammer season is not favorable to very active trade, but there is now a promiss of more than usual business uring the warm weather, and of an early and profitable summer trade. Let us coneider the conditions which determine generally the business sit- uation. The crops bid fair to be ex oellent, as good or better, on the whole, as last year. They are not beyond the reach of drovght, or flood, or insect, but it would be borrowing needless trouble to count upon & as'er. Oheap food is thus assured. ‘What the fureign market for our sur plus produce may be cannot be kuown at present, but we may be sure that if the demand for food should be light, that for cotton will be, by that very clrcumstance, improved. Then we have, in the returns of railroad earnings, a fine test of the ability of the people to consume goods; and sn examination of these figures show that never before was there so general pres- perity as now prevails, The demand for staplo manufactured goods is once more steedily good and improving. There is nowhere a lack of employment for labor, and the rate of wages puid s a guarantee against want in any arter, while it alsocuts off to great extent the necessity for a waste of public money in relieving those who might, under other circumatances, have been on the pauper roll. The events of the last few weeks have reassured those who feared a disturbance of our monetary machinery from s drain of gold to Earope. On_ the first of the present month, when exchange was advancing, and mest of the financial prophets were preparing. the people for gold exports, we gave reasons for believing that if any gold should be from us the amount would be It is now almost certain that none will go. On the contrary, price of exchange is at the present time in such a wesk and declining state that nobody will be surprised if ‘money were £ be sent to us within six weeks. But at all events we are small, and mo enterprise heed be abandoned by reaton of any apprehen. sion of money stringency. Hi regard. ToLepo, 0., July 2.—A gentlepian in this city to-day received a lefter from a friend in Vicksburg who was a resident of New Orleann at the time Gen. Hancock was in command of the lstter city. He encloses a copy of » note sent by Gen. Beauregard to Gen. Hancock in reply to an invitation from the latter to dioner. The mote rau thus: “Gen. H.: Please don't humble me by those flags. I'll come and see you, but first remove them.” The flags wera accordingly or down, and Beauregard dined with an open insult to the flag to soothe the irzitated nerves of an unrepentant rebel. — The Germans and Bill English.

But in the sphere of speculation,. at least, all may g their own course without let or hin- drance; and so long as's bargain re- mains ‘s bargain thoss possessed of money may trade on the necessities of their fellows to the full extent that seems to them goed. To buy cheap and sell dearin every trantaction is the direct realization of the commercial Utopia. He who is thus persistently successful must of necessity be a finan- cial genius, and smaller people who lack this divine faculty of accumula- tion by careful manipulation of differ- ences of value can gut look on and admire, whether their gaze is limited by the range ot the cos ermonger or extends to the operations of a R-ths- child. Noristheroany great diffor- enco between the clats of intelligent needed for making profit cut of s barrowful of cocoabuts or & skful of bonds. The capacity in both cases Is of a very low order, and maukind is no more careful to remem- ber the dealings of a millionaire than thoss of the humblest trrdesman. The interest awakened is always tem- porary, though of course the envy may be profound But of the incon- venience or even positive injury ocoa- sioned by a successful coup no one inks; and it is curious to observe the conflict, or apparent confliot, be- tween morality and economy in mat- ters whero the happiness, comfort and even the existence of hundreds are volved.

Suppose, then, that the majority, as_has often happened, executes rough ce, and in the end takes=’the food for nothing, or at svy rate for less than the merchant ssked, is that [right and proper! In Indis on many occasions English_officars have thus in old days broken through the rules of political economy, snd have forced the merchants to open their pits and dispose of the accamu Iated food to the starving population. But what was the result? At the next famine it'was found that the grain- dealers in the locality had not stored atall, and the end wss a far greator percentage of mortality, as no_other agency had stepped in to supply the place of individual greed for gain. The Omaha Schools. Hastings Nebraskan. Omaha is haviog one of its periodi- cal commotions over its schools. This s partly owing to some deficiencles in the school mansgement there, and pirtly to an iumate perversity in some We of the people, that are not in their element unless they have a row of some sort on hand. There is probably too much theory and too listle of the right sort of practice, too much figuring and too little to figure about, too much shell and too_ litle kernel, too much rou- tine and too little life, in the super- intendenco of the schools generally. They very likely need a little life, perhaps a little thunder and lightning, if of the right kind, infused into them. Bat chis isn’t all the trouble. Quite & number of the monied snd society men cf Omaha ipsist on send- ing their children off to distant or de- nominational schools, for what those children might get, and ought to get, in a first-olass high achool, and the bosrd of education have never yet dared to strike out and popularize it, and make it a school for the people. Hence, it hss been neither one thing nor the other, and not much of anything. Between this upper and nether millstons, the high school has fared badly. It hawn't exactly been ground, because it has never been able to eularge enough to be ground much.- It haen't been so much crash- ed as suppressed—not so much sup- pressed, even, had no change to be- :ome big enough for much suppress- on. Two things, therefore, seem to be wanting there—more life and vigor, more direct and practical work, and a0 entire overhauling of the high school, snd the fashioning of e course and methods, 80 as to make it practically the college for the common people of" the city and adjacent parts of the state—for such as cannot or will not send their children abroad.
