Sterling Morton to prosecute on behalf of the city of Omaha a claim for monies expended in erecting o territorial capitol, and giving him, if successful, one-half the amount secured a1 payment for his services. The ground vpon which the claim is made, is the aesurance of Governor Izard in 1857 that if the people of our <ity would contribute some §50,000 towards completing the capitol building, the amount would be refunded by the govarnment. That amount, at 6 per cent. interest, up to the present time, aggregates mearly $150,000, and one-half of this sum it is proposed to give toa professional lobbyist to secure its allowance at the present session of congress. This lucrative scheme of Mr. Mor- ton’s reminds us of the swamp land businesa in which Govercor Fornas r. Jerome, formerly connected with | and Tom Kennard were interested some years ago. It will bo remem- bered that the legislatore of 1873 ct authorizing the governor jpoint an agent whoshould collect the general government monies, due the etate on saccount of over- flowed ewamp lands. These monies judzed by the sume received by other states for the same claims,would have 2monnted to over $1,000,000. In 1874 a fewdays before retiring from ofice Governor Furnas made a contract with Tom Kennard of Lincola and ap- pointed him sgent to prosecute the swawp land cleim, sgreeing to give bim on behalf of the state, if hil efforts were successful, fifty per cent of the amount allowed by the general government. This contract was de- nounced by the Omaha Herald as an iofsmous swindle and J. Sterling Morton shrisked londly sgainst the consumation of sueh an outrageous steal from the pockets of Nebraska tax vayers, when we hada congres- sional delegation entirely competent to prosecute any claim of the state at Washington.

Morse, whose advent as Passenger Agent of the Union Pacific will be bailed with grat f:ation by a large namber of our citisens, who in yesr #oGe by have come in contact with Mr. Morse in social and businees circles. Soventeen years ago when the editor of this paper wae the local wanager of what was then the Pacific Telegraph company's lines in Omaha* Hr. Morse was local mansger of the telegraphic lines centering in Council Blufls, Our professionsl intercourse with Mr. Morse durng a period of more than seven years afforded ample opportunity for form- fug a correct estimate of his character * a man and -his executive ability wnd business capacity. His brilliant ® & railroad man does 1ot o us in the least. It is simyly uoflageing industry, coepled with a thorough knowledge of tho complex sffuirs of the branch fof railroading, to which his talents and energies have been devoted.

This 18 undoubtedly due to his «iraightforwardness; which Jeaves bo room for doubt e to his posi- ton ou any solject. Ho s piticulscly sirong i this tween Gov. Farnas and Tom Ker= nard with a view of dividing tte profits, Subsequent legislatures have several times attempted to repeal the swamp land act, but without success, And now the city council of Omaha jumps into a similar contract with J. Stirling Morton, involving practically the eame commission for collecting a claim of cur city ageinst the general government. If this claim of Omaba is justand valid, a8 wa have no rea- son to doubt thit it is, why cau’t it bs prosecuted by our regular con- gressional delegation, whose duty it is to transact such business! We have two senmators from Omahs, and a congressmen who formerly lived here. If they fail in obtaining recognition of this claim of our city what resson have we to expect that Svarling Merion will be more success- ful. On theother hacd, if the claim ie dishonest, needing a lubrication, of congressmen for its pasmsage, the peo- ple of Omaha don’t want to make themaelves parties to eny such trans. action. As far as the monetary con- siderstion i1 concerned, it is perfootly outrageous. If Mr. Morton succeeds in getting it through on the grounds of congressional influence and per- sonsl megnetism in a democratic con- gress, it seems to us that £75,000 is too much for a few wecke’ lobbying in and around Washi —_— Tae Fremont Herald ssys a washe stand isn’t a therefore, Robbins' nest can hardly be said to be located in the Republican office.

St. Panl Pioneer Press. The election af Garfield promises to form an epoch s notable in the po- litical history of the country as the election of Hayes. They may hopo to share the honor of exorcising the specter of sectionalism and of de- stroying the most perilous issues that have divided parties and eections. Hayes began the destruction of the solid scuth by encouragivg a rea Dess on the part of the north to for- get the bitt=roess of the past and join the south in a fraternal spirit in the discussion of new issues and living questions. Garfield's election wiil complete the work of teaching the south that its only hope of regaining the confidenca of the country and en- joying a fair share of political power is to forget old issues and old bitter- ness on its own eide, 2coet the results of the war, and meet the north in the same spirt of mutnal coaceesion and tolerance which the latter bas learned from the past experience to entertain. It o that the south has never been so solid as in the election. It is true that the lines of sectionalism were never 8o sharply drawn._ The whole south is upon one side. The whole north, with the ex- ception of two or three insignificant states, is upon thelater. If this con- portion of the sountry throvgh being 2070 & ot who has probably doe more for Nebrasks and the great un- developed regions west of the Missouri than any other man, and understands needs as none can but cne who Great Scott! Hitcheock may well wile at this distorted picture. The Tly pointon which all will agree with the correspondent is that there iwno room for doubt on Phiness’ posi- tbn on any point. He i for the Prket-book of §Phineas first, last # i gl the time, dition of things were to be permanent, it would be mosc di rous, and the practica' outlook would be most gloomy. Bat it cannot be permanent. The very completeness of the separa- tion of the sections will tend to rapidly disintegrate that which has nothing to gain snd all to lose by the perpetustion of the division. The spectacle of a solid north teactes the south the folly and hopelexs acss of continuing to cherich the principles aud expectations vhich make it solid. . Toe routh, a8 a sep- arate part of the nation, unsupported by public sentiment in the north, and yich ail the restof the nation consoli- isted againet it, is an entirely power- Yeas and. insigiGicant factor in the ma- government. The result of the last eleotion ieaches the south that this condition of things will be main- tained €0 long as it cherishes tae prin- ciples which the rest of the nation has condemned, and which it has declared shall never coptrol the administration of the government. It was necessary that this lesscn should ‘be sharply taught. A solid north was necessary to teach the utter impotencs and futility of a solid south The south needsd ¢ learn that a south s0lid upon ths issnes prononnced upon by the whr was certain to be faced by a s0lid north. They needed to learn thatthe mortl the strongest, and that such a division would be as fatal to them in the field of political conflict #s upon the field of battle. The election of Garfield by the vote of neatly every northern state shculd make this lesson sink deeply into their hearts. It should teach thera that, while the north is ready to for- et old conflicts and consolidate with the south into s homeogeneous nation broken up into parties whose division lides shall mot follow geographical boundaries, it Is not ready to give up the results of past conflicts and lay the foundation for their renewat by permitting even a tacit r cognition of principles which are hatefal to the great majority of the people of the country. The south misunderstood the spirit of conciliation which was displayed in the early days of Hayes' administration. They jumped to the conclusion that their friends, the old etates rights democrats, were upon the eve of acquiring power in the north; that the republicans®were ready in despair of lo ger retaining conteol of the gdvernment, to surrender the fruits of the war and tamely conset to the return of the south to its old position of avrogant dictation. The aciion of the southern leaders in congress and their declara tions during the presidential canvase were the evil fruits of that error, The congressional elections of 1878 gave the south the first bint of their fatal error. The lesson was finally driven home by the result of the presidential eloction. This tavght the south that there is one condition upon which the confidencs of the na- tion in the intentions and motives of i'a leaders can be restored; and that isthat theresults of the war shall be rccepted in good faith; the old dream of state sovereignity and scuthern autocracydismissed; the authority of the nation and therule of the ma- jority recogniged, and a hearty will- ess shown to forget the past and live in the present. 1t the south ehall learn this lesson; and thers is plenty of evidenee in the comments of the Souhern press upon the election thst ite meaning has not beon lost upon them, the greatest grant according to the quality of the 1and, for such is not the case. The Globe ssys that the whole of the land is to be taken from the fertile belt of the northwest. This is better for the eyndicate than the American p'an of granting alternate sections slong the whole length of the line, giving the compauies the bad with the good. The Giche estimates the average value of the land granted at §2 por acre. At 1his price the value of thewhole grant in money and land is 36,000,000, or 60,000 per mile for tho Lake Snpsrior section, $16,400.000 or $16,400 per mile for the middle section, and $23,- 600,000 or $56,500 per mile for the British Columbia section. The Dominion parliament has yet to ratify this syndicate bargain, and the opposition papers strongly advg- eate its rejeetion. The probability is that the bargain will bs ratified. It will be brought forward as a governs ment messure, and its rejection would result in an appeal to the paople. The majority of the present patliament is in goneral harmony with the ministry, and will be pretty sure to sustain its action in this matter rather than go to the people and have their *“national policy” of protection overthrown. — INDUSTRIAL NOTES The Reading car shops employ over 650 hands.

A largo oargo of stoyes wero ship- ped from Philadelphis to Paftngalt the other day. The eales of steel rails in No- vember exceed 150,000 tons. All the mills are crowded with orders. The foundries and machine shops of Raleigh, North Oarolins, are run- ning day and night to fill orders. Thus far during 1880, the North Ohieago Rolling Mill eompany have employed oonxtantly 4,780 workmen. The Columbas iron works; Colum bus, Ga., recently made large addi- tions to their works, and are now em- ploying 150 hands. The Naotical Gizotte says the builders of both iron and wooden shipa cast and west have bright proep:ote before them for next year. Within the past ten days Pennsyl- vania rolling mills have received orders for 25,000 tons of ateel rail= for future delivery, prices varying between §58 and $60 per to.

The ouipat of the four leading mines wa« 779,766 tons, sn increase of 81,589 peril to the perpetuity and stability of our political institutions will bs re- moyed. The hitterness of the war will bo forgotten in the removal of its worn-out issues from_the feld of po- litieal dircuseion, and the demon of sectionaliem will be banished with the diemissal of the questions upon which the sections haye been divided. The south is solid only upon the questiods which were involved in and should have been settled by the war. Itis divided, like the other sections, inits opiuions upon the finances, the tariff, revenue legislation, and the other questions fiscal which of 1 ties ¥ and economic e the most important matters islali. tna nation whose poli- are in & healthy condition. When south gives up the idea of realiz- ing tho false ideas of government to whoae propagation it has devoted all its evergies for a half century, and vives its attention to these questions it has 80 blindly negleeted, its un- wholesome sclidity will disappear zud the healthy astion and reaction of more or less equally divided political parties will take its place. The same thing will cccur at the north. The only thing the.t keeps the north solid is the fesr of .z solid south. When tho oppressiv. : catraint of this fear is removed, the :orth will be only too glad to split u » into parties upon the tariff aud reveuue questions, which affect ita diverse interests so differ- ently, Happily not one of the many new questions which are pressing upon theantention of the parties are sectional questions. The tariff used tc be a sectional but with the now diversity of inte that has yrown up in the south since the war; with the growth of textile manufactures snd the wugar produc- tion, that eection has ceased to be & unit in the advocacy of free trade, while a strong sentiment is growing up in the northwest. There is noth- iug sectiunal in the financisl question. Tae line of division bewween the two great parties of the future will follow neither state or sectional bowndaries, but will range through the whals intellectual field of diverse opinions. Both the solid south and the solid north will disappear aud give placa to ahomogercous nation, divided upon goneral questions in‘o healthy politi- cal parties. There is 35201 deal of vain and un- meaning di whether the coming cha volve & recon- struction of >der new names, It is wholly immatc =1 whether we bave mew parties ur.ler new names, new partiea under :.e old names, or the old parties with n.w issues. Asa matter of probability, the republican and democratic partiss will not be formally* disbanded within the life of any man now arrived at mature years. The importan: thing is that the sectional issues that have divided these parties for twenty years will now disappear_through tie definite and recogniged_triumph of the principles represented by the republican party, and that both parties have to seek new tasues upon the living principles, The Canada Pacific. The Toronto Globe olaims to have obtained trustworthy information, at last, as to the terms of the contract with the Canada Pacific railway syndi- cate. It states that the line is to be divided into three sections, for the conscruction of which payments in money made by the goverament will vary according to the cost of the work. Forthe first section, from Nipissing to Thutder bay, north of Inkeguper- ior, about six hundred miles, the government grant will be §12,000,000 and 12,000,000 acres of land. For the second eection, from the Red river to the Rocky mountains, about 1000 miles, it will be §6,400,000 and 5,000,000 acres. For the third sec- tion, in British Columbia, about 400 miles, it will be_£6,600,000 and 8,- 000,000 acres. In all, $25,000,000 and 25,000,000 acres. : From this statement it appears that the wo terminal sections, together tons over the previous year. The far-reaching inflaence of Chica- #0's Hrovision trade was shown by the recent sale of 1,000 box-s of cut meats on a Bordesux order by a prominent operator, who had sold 700 boxes to g0 to Capanhegen the week before, The Steel company of Scotland made a profit of £49,857 on the last vear's working, yielding a dividend of 9 per cent., after deducting preference and other charges. The plant of the company is equal to the froduction of 80,000 tons of steel. Cincinoati has 9,000 manufacturing establishmenza which employ 70,000 hands, The ennual product of these establishments is not less than §150,- 000,000. Itis estimated that they pay for labor every yoar tae princely sum of $35,000,000. The amdunt of money invested in manufactaring enterprises in New about eighty-nina million +pital which employa 75,- 000 persons, 13,000 being "engaged in the maufacture of silk in Paterson. The horse power which runs the ma- chinery is estimated at 59,000. The foundries, maghine shops and rolling mills of Chicago’ weve nover btisier than at the preseut fimo, and they are ronning entirely upon ordered work. One machine shop tial chair in 1797, succeeded by eon fa 1801, he lived on for a qu ter of a century. The next in number of years was Thomas Jef- ferson, who. dying a yesr after John Adams, atrsived the age of elghty- thres, John Quincy Adamsis third, having lived eighty-one years. ILhe fourth in aee was Van Buren, who, born in 1782, died in 1862, aged cighty. Twking the average lives of the presidents, it i3 found to baa little less than seventy-two years. Atwhat age do those men who aro made presi- deats assume their cffice? The oldest man who was made president was Harrison, who was sixty-eight when inaugurated. The youngest was General Grant, who was mads president when he was forty-soven. Franklin Plerce was president in his forty-ninth year, snd Fas remembered a3 the ‘‘boy presi- dent.” The average age »t which & mon is mads president is fifty-seven. Now, taking seventy-two as the dura- tion of life of presidents, and Bfty- seven as the age of a president when insuzurated, adding to this his four sears of (ffite, which makes him sixty-one when he gives up o8i- tion, thould a fund be established, re-election not _entering into the c:l- culation, the oldest ex: presidentmight be the recipient of the interest from the fund during a period of eleven ears. !
