The Nihilists Better Organ- ized than Ever, Dynamite in the Candles at the Czar's Coffin. The Miserable Plight of the New Czar. 8;2ctsl Dispatch o the Hee Loxpox, April 18—1 a. m.—All re- lisble dispaiches from St. Petersburg, ow that astate of unpsralelled ua- enxlnecs exiete throughout the entlre emplrs. The statemeuts repeatedly made that some of the vilest chiefs have bean arrested, prove to be false. It is now apparent thst the rigorous measares adopted by the police slnce the assassivation, have doue little, if aay, good toward quelling the activity of the revolutionists. From the large quantity of nihilist proclamations which are at present in circulation overywhers, it is evident that secret prosses mast bo da successful opera- tion at mauy places. Tho last one of these documents aunounced boldly that: Whereas, Alexander IL had reizued twenty-slx years, Alexander 1L would reiga only twenty-six days. Reliable private information received here from St. Petersburg, shows that the czar is deeply effscted By the threats that are constantly made against him. He shows unmis- takably that he is troabled. He acts like asovereign cccupying aa in tolerable position, surrouzded by nothing upon which he can place im- plicit raliance and hedged about by mensces all the more grave and terri- ble, because involved tn perpetusl mystery. He encouaters the most serious obatacles, not only in the ln- troduction of refurms, but even in the change of the governmentand prson- nel of the administration. None of the offiziala who had his father's con- fidence, and whom he trusis bim- sclf, ara prepared to co-operate in the inauguration of & mare liberal regime, until the nibilistic terror is stamped out. Tast implies the con tinuation for an uniimited period of the present iron-hiauded repression. All fforts of the government to re- prezy vihilism seem ouly to make it worse by deiving it deeper into its terrible, and thus far lmponatrable, dsngerous. The government has remitted sume of the measares indicative of national mourcing, and bes decreed that pianos may again be played in the towus.

[Every officlal of the govern- ‘mentshows on his part a condltion of quiet, but absolute dread of nihilisti operatione. Every piece of well su- thenticated news that happens to leak out from any eource, shows that the nibilists ara better organized than ever, and that they manage, despite < all precantions of the government, to ‘maintain & neatly perfect communica- tion with one auother, an goged in some deep and cautio spiracy. Fresh plots are constantly coming to light, but the law oficers seem {0 be completely bafiled at every effort of investigation. It fs now ac- knowledged on all hands that the brains governing the movements of the conspirators are of undoubted su- periority. The wansgers seem able correctly to circumvent every action of the government \oward suppression and to forecast nearly every official movement. It has been ascertained that et the late imperlal faneral the very candles ard tapers that had been at first selected to burn around the czar's bier, and tc afford lizht to mem- bers of the imperiai family daring the ceremonies, wer allfilled with nitro- glycerine and other explosives.

Tho two officers who made (he diecovery have been liberally rewarded.

Poase Accused of Other feri- ous Crimes. A. L. Pease,» man about thirty years of age, was arested in Dunlap, Towa, about nine miles from Blair, Neb., on the night of Fridsy, the 8th inst., by United States Marshal Stew- art, of Council Blaffs, on the cnarge of counterfeiting. On Saturday he was taken to Council Bluffy and con- fined in the jail in that city to await exsmination, which, by resson of the high water, hes been postponed to Tuesday of this week. Peaso Is charged, upon complaint and informa- tion of his wife, with propating aod uring molds for the manufasture of spurioas coin, of the deaomination of one dollar nnd Jess. THE OBIECT OF THE ARREST, while ontirely logitimate, involves & is accused, and which, if proven, will doubtless send him te prison fer the rest of his daya, Among these off s one which Pease does uot deny, and that is tho kiduspping of his little bahy dsughter from her mother, at Valley Station, acd the home of Mr. P. W. Cooley, general traveliag sgent of the Unioz Pavifiz railroad. Mra. Peaso is tho sister_of Mra. Cooley. She left her husbad some threo months ogo, and hrs resided at Mr. Cooley's honse since that time. The particulars of the stealing of the child were generally given In the papers at the time of its occutrence, a1 well ¢ the subsequent capture and Incarcera: vien of Pease n the Council Bluffs jail, which it i not neceasary to re- peat. Tho capture was effected at States Marshel Stewart corraled him after a sharp chase, and took lim back to the Blufs. Pesse's object In KIDNAPPING THE BSBY, » little girl scarce threo yews ol was snpposed to be that he might for > Mrs, Peate to give up cortain account books which she held, and which she claimed connected her husbind with mefarions frauda. Search for the child was continued by Mer. Cooley and the officers all of last week. She was traced from Slaven's hotel, in Omsh, to the trausfer hotel, Missouri Valley, Logan, Modale and Sandy Point, which litter place, according to Mr. Cooley’s statement, fs filled ‘with the brigands of the country. He s2ys that Le and the officers wero or- dered out of the town several times and threatened with harm if they did notleave. At Sandy Point the search seemed baflled, and the pursueis re- turned to Couneil Bluffs, On Friday last another clue wss found which pointed to Woodbine, but that proved fruitless. On Siturday Pease’s brother, who lives at Danlap, went to Council Bluffs to aee the prisoner. Before he got out of town he was ar- rested on the chargs of cemplicity in the abiuction, and owned up to know- ing where the baby was. He wes ac- companied tick to Daalap, by Maj. Jos. Lyman, of Council Bluffs, who had been employed by Mr. Cooley, snd after driving a few miles ont in the countty, obiained the child. Y- torday Mrs, Pease went to Dunlap from Council Blufls, aud obtained, at Peare’s father's house, possession onca more of her lost darliag. She return- ed with her child to Council Bluffs, and yesterday went with Mrs. Cooley | back to Valley Station. GIVING UP THE LOUKS, Ono of the conditions, howcver, upon which the whereabouts of the baby were made known, wes that the books which Mrs. Peate held should be returned, ar1 this was accordingly dene. There ara eome interesting facis in connection with theze books, which have not been mezle public. Mrs. Peese, who wes Miss Brown, lising ebout four milas fror this city, was marric 1 to Perse about four years ago. He then lived up ¢ 1 Soldier rivor, where he claim- 1 to cwn a farm. After the maiiiage, which vccarred at Mrs. Pease’s father's restdence, Pease took his bride to what she supposed was his home. [hen she claims to ave diecovered that the farm was the property of Persy's father end that Pe: e himeelf hada't a dollar in the world in roal es'ate. After livicg on George's river for a year or sc Pe moved to that pcint up the river known by the eaphonious name of HORE THIRVES' ISLAND, where she claims he wenc iuto partner- ning & saw mill.

Mrs. arse rags that she kuew that her husband burned his partner's books and changed his figures in his own. About this time Peaso became 80 ugly and brutal with her that she could not stand it longer and she resolved to him. He threatened to kill her 1f she did, whereupon she obtained possession of the books and told him she would expose him if he did not {allow her togo in peace. When he | saw that she had such damsging evi- | dence azalnst him, he attempted by the most brutal torture to compel her to give up the books.

DEPLORABLE LACK OF VENERATION BY A VETERAN TENDERFOOT. o the Editor of Tua Bm 1 have beon waiting since the late unprecedented rice of the Missouri river for the ever prosent *Old Settler” to come to the feont with the customary comsparative statement of the mean and insignificant propostions of tho late flood when looked at 1n the light of former performances of the “Bid Maddy.” I havs recently cb- 7 | gorved tho typleal 01 Settlor”stand- ing around the river front_rnd weep- Ing bitterly because he had not waited untl the water had reached its highest point uatil he had told even to tho inch juet how high 1t had risen within bis memory. For more than & week the impression has_steadily gained ground that. the “Old Ssttler” had finally “scttled,” but all the time our sly, “devilieh sly” old friend A. D. Jones has bien sequestered in tho doep shade of the background, with his tongue in his cbeek and a merry twinklo fn his anciont oye, but utter- ing never a word. He has been “laging” for the new coxers, 0 to spesk, and now when the ex- citement of tho lato strus- gle between ths present and the past_has subsided, the hand- somo A. D J. comes jannlily out with his_little story and falrly ecalps the exultent ““tendorfoot,” who has scarcely finlshed his chuckls over the dlscomfiture of the oldest inhabitant, “In 1844, says Mr. Jones, “‘the flood resched thirty-eight feet above low wter mark.” Bat he forgets to stato a vesy important fact fn this connec- tlon, viz: st it bss been conclusively shown by the very highest suthorities on civil en- gineering that the Missouri river bed is some seventeen feet lower that it was in 1850, which is the nat- ural result of the continued wash of the undetlylng ssnds. Now if yon add this seventeen feet to our Lt twenty-thres foot rise and suppoee the river bed to Lave remained stationsry with respect to elevatlon, you will find that the late rlse was equal,to a forty foot rise in 1850. Come agaln, Mr. Jones, I am getting to be somewhat of a0 old settler myself. C. V. GaLLagHER, Edison Triumphant. Bpecial Dispatch to the, Bxn.
