CLEVELAND, September 27, To the People of the United States: ‘The movement to secure funds for the erection of a monument over Gen, James A. Garfield is being responded to from all sections of the country, weast, west, south and north. In order @v make it popular, it is desirable for #the citizens of all the states to imme- diately organize. The committee re- wpectfully requests private banks and “ankers and postmas‘ers to receive ~contributions to this fund and remit 4he samo to the Second National bank of Cleveland which has been desig- wmatod us the tresurer of this fund. Also send the names and postoffico ad- drosses of contributors, Tar Garrienp MoNumeNT Com. In response to this call Tue Brr would earnestly urge upon all patri- otic citizens who desire to perpetuate &he memory of the lamented prasident #o contribute their mite to the pro- posed national monumnent. In this city contributions will be re- woeived at the following named bank- ing houses: First National bank, ‘Omaha National bunk, State bank of Nebraska, and Caldwell, Mamilton & Co.

Maryland will elect its controller, half the sen- ate, and its full house ot delegates, as the legislature is called. It will also vote on a proposed amendment to the constitution to change the time of tho election of judges to theTuesday after ~ | the first Mondoy in November. Massachusetts will elect a full board of state officers and the legislature, Minnesota will elect a full board of state officers and vote upon three amendments to her constitution, These amendments prohibit special legislation, provide for equal taxation, and make the pay of members of the legislature $5 pur day, though not to exceed $450 is amount for regular sessions or $200 for special sessions. The legislature will be called upon to choose a United States senator. Mississippi clects a full board of state officers and the legislature, which will bo called on to elect a successor to Senator Lamar, Nebraska, as we have previously an- nounced, will elect a judge of the su- preme court, to succeed Samuel Max- wall, two regents of the university to succeed Regents Fifield and Adairand a full sot of county officers. New Jersey will elect members of its senate from eight counties, and its full house of representatives, The senators chosen this year will be called upon to take part in the election of a United States senator in 1883, New York will elect its secretary of state, controller attorney-general, troasurer, engincer and surveyor, an associate judge of the court of appeals, the full legislature and congressmen from the ninth, cleventh, twenty-second and twenty- seventh districts, Pennsylvania will elect its state trensurer and county offlcers. Virginia will elect its state officers and the legislature. L Wisconsin will elect its full board of state officers, half its senate, a full house of representatives, and vote ugon amendents to the constitution which provide tor eloctions and sos- sions of the legislaturo every two years, ATLANTA’'S EXPOSITION. The Atlanta International Cotton exposition will open on October b and continue until December 31. This enterprise was conceived by public spirited citizens of Georgia under the lead of Mr, Kiwmball, a northern capi- talist long resident in the south, Its purpose is to attract the attention of the world to the capabilities of the southern states in the cultivation and manufacture of the great staple and to show to the peoplo of those states how its production and manufacture can be increased and improved. The oxhibition hus outgrown its intended proportions and through the energetic cfforts of its management will be made of much more than local im- portance. The lists have been thrown open to all countries, not only for the exhibition of cotton, but for the dis: play of all textile fabrics, Cotton, silk, linen, jute and overy- thing connected with these {ibres—the raw materials, the thread, the yarn and the woven fabrics, togethor with the machinery and implements used in preparing them, will be admitted, The encour- ageent received by the managers has surpassed all expectation, by far the Jargest part coming from tho east and the north, while a nuwber of Eu- ropean countries will enter the lists to competo with American manufacturers, Muny of our westarn states and ter- ritories will send exhibits of their products, Utah is to display her silk cocoons and flax, with specimens of linen and jute. Why has no move been made to have Nebraska's large flax growing interest adequately rep- resented? In quality' of fibre fow states in the country can excel the flax raised in our own, That it has only been utilized heretofore for its seed is no reason why our home grown flax should not find a place at the Georgia exhibition, TaE vice-presidency of the United States is for the seventh time vacant. Tho death of Elbridge Gerry in Novembur 1814 occasioned the first vacancy in the vice presidential of- fice. The second aruse on the promo- tion of John Tyler to the presidency upon the death of Hurrison, Samuel 1. Southard, of New Jorsey, was at that time president pro tem, of the souate, but he was succeeded about a year later by Willie P, Mangum, of North Carolina. When Millard Fill- more succeeded Taylor as president, the vice-presidency was for the third time vacant. The death, in April, 1853, of William R. King. elected on the same ticket with Franklin Pierce, oceasioned a fourth vacancy in the vice-presidency. David R. Atchison and Jesse D. Bright successively held the officeof president of the senate dur- ing the remainder of Pierce's term, A fifth vacancy took place when Abra- ham Lincoln was assassinated and An- drew Johnson became president Lafayette 8. Foster was president of the senate at that time, being suc- ceeded in March, 1867, by Benjamin F. Wade. The death of Henry W son, in the third year of General Graat's second term, made a sixth va- cancy in the vice presidency. —_— JOLORADO is passing through one of the experiences of all new states in the discussion of the question relative to the permanent location of the capi- tal. Denver, which has had possession of this coveted dignity since the state was admitted into the union, will not yield the honor without a struggle. Other towns, however, claim that a city nearer the geographical center should bechosen, and Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Leadville and Golden are active competitors for the prize. Up to date Denver seems to have the best of the fight and to offer the greatest inducements for a retention of the center of state government. Her people offer to donate to the state ten acres ot ground worth $75,000 and a number of building lots which have been held for thirteen years in trust as a capitol building fund. These lots are valued at $60,000, so that the entire sum offered by Den- ver is $135,000. DurinNG the past ten years Omaha has spent over §100,000 for wooden cross walks, wooden culverts and bridges. Thousands of dollars have been squandered each year in carting dirt up and down the side hillls and in digging trenches which were sure to be filled with mud after the first heavy rain storm. This systematic and reckless waste of the taxpayers’ money still goes on, This season several {housand dollars are being squandered on more wooden cross walks, which at best cannot last more than two or three years, and the street commis- sioners gang are ditching and carting dirt where it can do little or no good perinanently, How much longer this wasteful policy is to be pursued we cannot attempt to predict, but it seems to us that Omaha has reached a stage of growth when every dollar voted for our streets should be ex- pended for substantial and permanent improvements, Tuk factional contest in New York, which hardly abated its fury fer the president’s funeral, is now at its height. Most of the towns and cities have selected their delegations to the coming republican state convention, and in a number of instances ‘‘double headers” will put in riyal claims for recognition. Mr. Conkling leads a disputed delegation from Utica, The Oswego delegation is also divided. In New York the delegates are about equally Conkling and anti-Conkling. But the country districts are yet to be heard from, and by general consent are numbered as hostile to Mr. Conk- ling. Collector Robertson will be in the coming convention as a delegate from one of the New York city die- tricts, George William Curtis will also be present, In nearly eyery in- stance the various counties and dis- wicts have sent their representative men, and the contest will be a battle of giants Tur nation’s affliction has bound together more closely than ever be- fore the people of the North and South. That this union will be per- manent is the earnest desiro of every citizon of the republic. Some of the most touching eulogies of the dead president have come from the south. Senater Ren Hill was particularly af- fected by his death: ‘“‘Poor Garfield!” he said, ‘‘was a big-hearted and a big- braiued man, I shall never forget the Iast time T saw him, He was so oheerful and apparently happy. I never saw him fuller of mental and physical vyiger and of hope for the future than then., I wan't to always remember him as he appeared to me then —a perfect man.” Tue Slocumb ordinance was re- ferred to the committee on police. When that committee has digested it, they will report it back with the recom- mendation that it be indefinitely post- poned. Meantime our school fund is losing thousands of dollars and the worst dens in town are running night and day without paying & dollar license. e—— Tue meeting of the C., B. & Q. officials w Chicago assures the speedy complotion of the Republican Valley extension to Denver and its operation as part of a continuous line between Chicago and that city,. When the bridge at Nemaha City is completed the new route will be nearly one hun- dred miles nearer Chicago than any existing line, Sonthern Improvement. Notwithstanding the indications that the coming election in Mississippi will not be conducted fairly, a retro- spect over a number of years will con- | $30, vince the observer that time has brought on a general improvement in the situation, The extent of the ille- gality and fraua will be much less than it has been at any time since bulldozing became something like an established institution. The unfair methods are visibly on tho de- cline. The fact that there is an organized opposition at all is a sign of improvement in this respect. The shotgun has almost, if not en- tirely, vanished from the scene. In some districts in the state no effort at fraud will be attempted. - The pres- sure of pular opmion and the strengthof theopposition haverendered success in them so improbable that it will be confined to those localities which are strongly democratic. It will assume the shape of sending in false majorities, which, of course, will have their effect upon the result, and per- haps decide the victory, but the arca from which they come is being so cir- cumscribed that there is good reason to believe that jprogress in the right direction has certainly set in. The shotgun disappeared under pop- ular pressure, It was found to have a most disastrous effectupon the party at large in the north, TImperative de- mands were sent south by northern democrats that its use should be dis- continued long before the last presi- dential election, Every outrage cost the party multitudes of votes. The better element of the southern democracy discountenanced it. It was found $hat in the loagrun it did the finrty more harm than good. Thus ulldozing proper received an import- ant check, ~ False counts were substi- tuted for it They were less demon- strative and for the time produced the same result. But they, too, are having their legitimate effect in alienating popular sympathy from the demo- cratic party. The same influences are brought to boar against them that eradicated the shot-gun and the night- riders. Honest southerners do not like fraud any better than any other men. They have entertained a hesitat- ing willingness to keep quiet about it, but that, evidently, is wearing out. Even so-called negro rule is preferable to the lack of character which is involved in countenancing the disreputable practice. The will- inguess has not altogether disappear- ed, but it is disappearing, and the ultra fraud managers are losing the popular support without which the end of their career becomes a question of a very short apace of time. How long the reforming pro- cess will have to be continued before a reasonably satisfactory state of af- fairs supervenes, remains to be seen. Be the time long or short, it is ap- proaching, Besides the surface indications of the improving course of southern g:litics, there are also signs that the tter element of the southern people are gaining a philosophical grasp on the situation. They recognize that the newly entranchised class can not be' denied’ their political privi- leges for any great length of time. They must be accepted as po- litical necessities, and made the best of. It has thus happened that a strong sentiment has been developed in favor of education, Senator Brown, of Georgia, published to the world, in congress last winter, the desire for a new departure. He put aside the con- sideration of state rights, and asked for the south the assistance of the nation in establishing adequate school systems. Something was done, which served to show that the request would be gladly acceded to. When the matter comes seriously up for con- sideration much more will be done. But, meanwhile, the southern peo- rle themselyes are not idle. Texas has made important advances, and things are shaping themselves inother | R, states toward the samo laudable end. For the most part what has _been ac- complished does not amount to much, but the existence of the increased dis- sition to fight the ignorance in_the Ezllot through education has been manitested clearly, and contains an assurance for the future, There is another movement that will influence the condition of South- ern society for the better, which is disappointingly slow at ’Rmmmt, but it exists nevertheless. This is the ac- cumulation of small properties by the mnegroes. The moment a voter uys taxes on his own possessions, his - political intelligence becomes wonderfully quickened. We are aware that with t{w great majority of the southern negroes no such advance has been made. Tt is probable that the tenant credit system which pre- vails throughout the south is largely responsible for this, But here and thero are enterprising colored men who show that there is some slight progress in this growth. The freedmen are also gradually asserting themselves. In Virginia and Tennes- soe thero s little interference with their free exercise of political rights. This kind of thinql is con- tagious and is spreading. There are evidences of it even in Mississippi. All great social movements involve slow progress, and, while there are wmany discouraging relics of the bar- barism of slavery still clinging to the south, we are justified in placin confidence in the promises of goo results that are coutained in the influences which are plainly at work, The material prosperity of the south, of late years, has been al- most phenomenal. Considering the impoverished condition of the coun- try at the close of the war, and dur- ing the years that immediately fol- lowed it, no section on the face of the earth has developed so rapidly as the southern states, if the revelations of the 1ast census are to dal‘)yndud on, here is & promising field there for the vigorous assertion of political equality, The defenders of that vital principle are growing stronger as the fimsnl umprovement takes place. If ivsisaippi is lost through fraud this {em‘, it will be a thing to be deplored, ut it will not detract from the truth that the days of trifling with the ballot are growing short, and that the ele- ments of southern society are approx- imating a comdition of natural equil- ibrium, eememse—— Notioe The caucus of republicans of the Fourth ward will "be held to-day g‘hlla‘nday) evening, at room 6, Union ock, OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS, CALIFORNIA Chinatown in Oreville s in ashes, Loss, Tncendiary fires have been frequent at Santa Cruz, Tmmense at Sacramentc Southern California is still discussing the sion of the state, Wild geapes of Tehama county are un- usnally plentiful this year, and of excel- lent quality. vds attended the state fair ave been over two hundred deer hin two miles of Cloverdale since July.
