PRESIDENT OLEVELAND I8 reported to have declared that he will appolnt no non-resident to an oftice in the terrlto- rles. This s following the precedent sot by President Arthur, who, just be- fore he retired, appointed Hon. F. E. ‘Warren, of Cheyenne, as governor of Wyoming, In preference to a dezsn aspir- ing politiclans from various states. The territorial oftices have too long been con- sidered the prey of non-resident and played out politicians, and the determi- nation of Presldent Cleveland to give the cltizans of the territories a chance cannot be regarded otherwise than a fair propo- sitlon, It would eeem, therefore, the days of the eastern carpet-bagger are at an end. —— GREAT pressure Is being brought to bear, as we expected it would be, upon President Cleveland to rapidly displace the rapublican office holders all along the line in order to make room for the demo- -crats, Mr. Cleveland s moying alto- gether too slowly to suit those democratle Adeaders who believe in the doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils, Among the princlpal advocates of that doctrine are Vice-President Hendrlcks and Sena- tor Voorhees, who have called upon the prosident and urged him with all the Jperauaslve arguments imaglnable to made & clean sweep and to begin the work at wonca, Mr, Cleveland,however, informed them that he proposed to carry out his «elvil service ideas, He is evidently a man who cannot be bull-dozed, e —— Tur number of justices of the peace, aader & law passed by the last leglslature hes bean reduced from six to three In Omeha, The olty is to be divided Into other action on the part of the United States will be entirely unneccssary.

Pat, Hawes. “I was picked upand car- ried into the depot, and a physician, who happened to be in the crowd, examined my. leg and gaid it was budly fractured, Some one asked what hotel T wanted to be taken to, and I replied that I wished to go to some hospital, where I could gat the very best care. ‘What is your name? asked a great big Trish- man, ‘Patrick O, Hawes, of Omaha,’ T re. plied. ‘Well,’ said the Irishman, ‘T'll seo that you are taken to & good place-—the best in the city.’ That's one time that my name of Patrick was of some service to me, It made a warm friend of that Irishman, who happened to be a policeman, He called an ambulance and had me conveyed to the county hospital, where I received the best attendance that could have been secured in Chicago, The surgeons in that hospital understand their that there are on file In the postofilce de- partment the reports of five special agents agalnst the management of Postmaster Pearson, They charge that Pearson was an Incorporator and interested in the lo- business, and the hospital is admirably con- ducted. While I was therc some three weeks—there were two or three persons brought in every day with fractured limbs.

The most important part played by the telegraph service in theinanguration cere- monfes was the tranemission of press dis- patches, The Western Unlon company not only trebled is usual number of pri- vate messages from Washington, but it sent io additlon the enormous amount of 254,000 words of press. This figure has only been exceeded on cne other ooca- sion; namely#the day that Garficld was assassinated. Then the total that com- pany reached was 270,000 words, Baut it is believed that the amount of press mat- ter telegraphed from here on the 4th of March was greater even than that. In addition to the press sent by the Weetern Unfon, the Baltimore and Ohio handled upwards of 75,000 words, and the Bankers' and Merchants’ sent over 50,000. The Postal did a large amount of work, eay 20,000 words, and private- leased wires to newspapers carrled 30,000 making all together over 420,000 words This is the greatest day’s prees work ever known in the history of the national cap- ital, and does not include the Associated Press or United Press reports, —— The Power of the Railroads, Plattsmouth Journal, The legislatare passed two railroad bills —one to regulate passenger fares the other to establish a commission to collect statistics ete., but it was very careful to give it no power of action InJthe matter of régalating rates.

The assault is repeated for the second and third time with such terrtble results to the rebels, that this locality is now designated by them as ‘‘The Hornet's Nest,” Meanwhile the crash of musketry and the roar of artillery at other points of the battlefield has becomoe absolutely appal- ling. At least 50,000 men are engaged in the droadful carnage and the slaughter ia frightful.

While our boat was tied up near the landing and we were still on board a soldier belonging to the Seventh Iowa, which regiment was on a steamer s couple of bundred yards further up stream, fell off the crowded hurricane deck and was swept down past us by the swift carrent. He had on a heavy overcoat and was encumbered with belr, cartridge hbox and bayenet, but managed to keep afloat for quite a distance. The cry was heard “‘man overboard !” and the deck hands on our steamer hurriedly launched a beat and rowed out to his rescue. As the poor fellow passed us he gave us an imploring lock and probably eaw the efforts that were being made in his behalf, but the odds were too strong against him; his heavy woolen clothing absorbed a great weight of water and he sank In full view of ten thousand men, his hat floating down stream and his body disappesred forover. Our csmp at Shiloh, about three- fourths of a mile from the landing, was delightfully located on a handseme meadow, with large forest trees on three sides. A fine spring near by afforded an abundance of water; rations were abundant, guard and diill duty light and the weather all that could be desired. We had good wall tente, organ ized messes to sult ourselves, and thodally arrlval of steamers loaded with troops furnished us with variety and excitement, Day after day {he lines of soldiers could be seen marching past our camp to take position beyond us in the beautiful forest. We have a grand review on the 3d of Aprll, when Gen. Grant rides down in front of the Jine on his yellow charger, and is recelved with much enthusiasm by the soldiers.

To the right and left through the open woods we see a long llne of union soldiers entending in an oblique directlon, marching towards each other, We are moving at, substantially, right angles to these lines, though not con- nected with them. Behind the union forces are seen the rebel regiments fol- lowing up their advantage and, as our lnes converged, socuring a complete cross-fire which proved teriibly destruc- tive to our forces. This, for a brief space, seems to be the poeitlon of W, H. L. Wallace’s division forming on one - side of an oblong towards Pittsburg Landing which is, perhaps, two milee distant, while the other two lines, much longer, are at right angles with the river, and approaching each other In good order with the varfous regiments plainly discernible by thelr colors. Our division apparently connects with both theec lines at the same moment, therc is a shock as the men crowd on each other, a waver, then all dlscipline is lost, the union forcea break from control and a MAD RACE FOR THE LANDING and shelter for the gun boats Is made, while the confederates with cheers and yells *“follow fast and follow faster.” I soon find myself entlrely cut off from my company and hurry along, the rebel bul- lets doing great execution in the surging mass. Just In front I see a horse stand- ing quietly, his rlder having been shot, and I debate in my own mind as to the desirabiliry of mounting that horse when I reach him and thus :gsin greater speed In escaping, but bafora I can ecize the bridle & man dashes in front of me evl- dently beut on the same purpoe, when a 1iflo ball crashes through the back of his head and he pitches forward in the dust.

The uniform dlf- fers somewhat from the reguition blue, but attracts no particular attention on that ecore; they prees forward and sud- denly wheel, dismount, unlimber the gun from the caiesion and fire ehot and ehell as rapidly as they can be served into the mob of flying men. Then we know that these are rebel, not federal artillerymen, and though enough unlon scldiers rush by them as they coolly load axd fire to pick up gun, carriage, caisson and horses and hurl them nto the Ten- nestoo, no cffort is made to capture the gun or eilencs the gunners, 1t was a brave deed, but the confederate army was compoged of men capable of just such acts of neroism, snd for four years It commanded and falrly earnad the admi- ratlon of the world. On the hill immediately overlook- Ing the landing we found a seml-circlo of heavy guns that had been hastily got into position, and as the unlon soldiers rushed b:hind the protection thus afiorded, the advance of the enemy was stopped by a destructive fire from these guns and thoro on the gunboats at the landing, which raked the robel right, The infantry lines werc re-formed to some extent and added thefr asslstance, and thus ended the firat days fight at Shiloh, Live Btock by a w Route, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 13,—Owing to Yquarantine live stock destined hearing the crash ot "battle for the first | or the north'will be shipped via New Orlanne: tlme and as we march at “‘donble quick” | to the front we soon meet ntufil-n by the score and hundred who thelr commands and are breakin, rear.
