We had no reason to euppose that there were any errors In the statement as obtalned from official sources, The population of Fllmors county, as published by the Brr and other papers, was glven at 10,412, a de- crease of 3,010 slnce 1880. The Bek re- marked at that tlme that this was rather a singular fact, and that it hardly knew how to acsount for it unless the census head been very poorly taken, or stome mis. takes had been made In the reports. The Grafton Zeader, which is very Indignant over this comment of the Bk, falls to “Who wants an appointment from Ne braska?" said Mr. Seward, /1t seems to me that Dr. Henry has carned stich a place,” replied Webster, *He cannot take s belligerent position, os he is liable to be execated if captured,” ““That's 8o, Put his name down,” said Mr, Seward, “T'll spoak to the president about b’ Two hours Iater Seward returned with the appointment of Dr, Honry as captaln and assistant quartormaster, with an assignment to daty in Arkansas with Gen, Steelo. He made an cxceedingly good officer, and when the war closed he was chicf quartermaster. The money which ho had obtained from De Londe was returned to him, and the pro sumption is that he gave it back to the owner, The information which Dr. Henry obtained regarding the Merrimac enablod the govern: ment to determine when she would be ready for sea, and to prepare for her, Thus it was that one Nebraskan earned his shoulder- straps, and cortain it is that no Nebraskan ever rendered more valuable service to his country than Dr, Henry did, He returned to Omaha about two years ago from the Paci fic const to die at tho residence of his brother in-law, Mayor Boy 8. The secret service fund of the government was formerly confined to the state depart ment, and was disbureed under the direction of the president, This was so until the breaking out of the rebellion in 1561, and re mained #o for some considerable timo after- wards when congress made an approprition for contingent expenses of the army. There- foro it was that Mr, Seward, who was secre tary of state, employed spies and detectives, and made arbitrary arrests and otherwise rang the “little bell” which became historical, Now neatly every department of the government has a secred service fund, and the treasury de- partment employs & corps of officers known a8 recret servico detectives to prevent coun- terfeiting, From the very beginning of hostilities o tho close of the war Washington, and indesd the whole north, was overrun with sples and omiesaries of the rebels, Treaton lurked everywhers and especially in the execntive departments, The rebels, 1t was evident, were always very much botter informod as to what we were doing than we wore as to their movements and purposes. Many men were employed togo through the lines to obtain information for the use of the government. Some were false, eome did not go, while others proved treacherons by giving and bringiog back intentionally iacorrect and mis leading reports, and still othors were incom- petent and cowardly, and failed to get the in- formation deeired, and whoze reports were uneatisfactory and unreliable.

I, D, Webster, who was Mr, Seward's private eecretary. Mr, Webster, who was a New Yorker, had edited the Nebraska Ziepullican at Omaha during the years 1858-50, and had taken a promiuent part in the organization of the republican party in the territory, During his residence in Omaha he had become the warm friend of Dr. Henry, although radically differing with him in politica. During the convorsation in Sccrotary Sow- ard’s office, Dr. Henry expressed o wish to These are not in good standing., There are not less than 300,000 of such now.

This does not sound very wuch like Mr, Boyd's non- partisan pretensions. If there has been anything wrong in the creatlon of our floating debt, why talk about republicans any more than democrats. When Mr. Boyd vacated the mayor's oflice three yesrs ago his successor, Col. Chace, #ald In hls meseage that the floating debt left by the preceding Boyd administra- tlon amounted to §40,000 or cver. No- body Intlmated crookedness on the part of Mr, Boyd on that account, and we sce no ratlonal exouse for charging rascality on republicans because in three years the Goxervor Kixcamn, of Alaska, although h's succasior has beon ap tion smong themselves and were united. Tacra waa no assembly of the Knights of Labor there, but in one cf the local trade asscclations there hap- pened to be a few Knights, They sug- gested that the general executive com- mittee of the order be asked by the men to attempt & compromise. The eugges- tion was taken and I and my assoclates went to Trenton. The manufactureas sald that they had no okbjectlon to meet- ing us aud treating us courteouely, but as for talklng of arbltration they wouldn’c think of it. But they eppolnted a com-— mittes and we met them, and wo ware courteously treated; and, marvelous as it may appear, in ona day we reached a compromize that was agreeable to the men and agreeable to the manufactarers, and that ended the trouble. Thera are now ton assemblies of Kulghts of Labor at Trenton, “There have been instances, of course,” 83id Mr. Powderly, “‘in which our organfzation has helped members out ona strike, when after Investigation It was found that they did not act fmprop- etly. In nine cases out of ten strikes are unreasonable, growlng out of unrea- nablences or hotheadednets of one side or the other. The Knights of Labor organization alms to educate workmen to a standard of reasonableness. For instance, there are strikes in tlmes of de- presslon when if the workmen took Into conslderation all things they would be Inclined to concede a reductlon In thelr wages. Onthe other hand, In times of deprossion, cmployers, many of them, start at once to cut and slash wages be- foro trying to retrench in other dlrec- tlons. The hotheadedness and Ignorance of workmen, the ignorance and selfish- ness of employers, aro {lls which we try to ameliorate. 1In thls offize we are mak- ing progrees. “The Knights of Labor began lts ex. {stence in Philadel smong the gar- ment-catters, and w.s founded fa 1805 by Urish S. Stevens, a. catter, who waa trained for the Episcopal clerzy. In 1878 it adopted ey {ts declaration of pelnciplos tho code framed in 1873 by tho great congress of indastrisl brotherhood, which promised go much, but which came to naught, The great object of the order is tho education cf workmen wupon economle questions, believing that with this attained the great progreas will have been made, It all the while is urging sensible legislatlon 1in labor matters, al- though it always opposes class leglsla- tion, whether in favor of the working- man or the capitalist, It has helped to establieh ststistical labor bureaus In fourteen of the states, and alone and without ald has caussd the establishment of the bu- reaus In seven of the states, It dlda great deal toward the establishment of the Natloual bureau. The most valua ble and almost all the leglslation all over the country, such as the lawascovering convlct labor and child labor, has been obtained through its efforts, It {s now trylog to have collated statlstics showing tho tnequitable holding of public lands, forelgners hold farms of vast extent, and how absolately all the available land along the streams is already taken by corpora tlons or rich holders. “The only peopls excluded from tho Knights of Labor,” sald Mr. Powderly, ‘‘are rumsellers, professional politiclars, lawyers, bankers, end loafere, These arc prohibited Ly the consttution, They sometimes get {n, but when dlecovered are ejected,” ologlat, of Blair, Nebraska, who is now an agent of the department of agrlcul ture, has been Invesligating the grass. hopper in tbe valley cf the Arkansas and other sectlons of Colorado, and he assures the people of Nebraska and Kan- 828 that they need fear no invasion of the voracious critter, as the Colorado hopper Is not of migatory specles, but a native of that state, and is not lkely to leave his native field for pastures new.

At first Dr, Henry’s thoughts revolted at the idea, but when told that he possessed pe- culiar qualifications for the penlous service by reason of his having boen such an out- spoken domocrat in Nebraska, woll known to all the pro-slavery «flizials of the territory, like De Lende, of Louis‘ana, who had been register of the land office at Brownville; Jchn A, Parker, of Virginia, who had been regis- ter of the Omaha land office; W, 13, Moore, of Arkansas, who had been United States marshal, and others, all of whom had recently resigned their positions to juin the rebellion, and who had always been familisr with bim a8 a bitter hater and denouncer of abelition- ism and republicanism, which they considered synonymous, he said, “I'il think of it.” “You see how you can impose upon those people,” said Webster, “Haviog been used to hear you denounce republicaniam and abo litionism, they will readily believe you when you tell them that you prefer to cast your fortunes among thoso with whem you have always acted. You can say that you have brought with yous surgeon’s outfit and would like & commission as surgeon.” The next day Dr. Henry returned to the department and announced his willingness to go. Hewas accordingly outfitted with a fine set of surgical instruments, such as any army surgeon would require, and with such rare mediinea as quinine and the like, which wero valuablo and necessary in that climate, and Qiven a pass through the unicn lines, His instructions were to visit, if poasible, the for tifications about Washington and ascertain their strorgth, and also to secure tho much desired information about the Merrimac, Dr, Heory bad been gone a month, So long, mdeed, that Secretary Seward and Col, Webster began to be apprehensivo that he had met tho same fate that had overtaken two or threo other men who had been sent cut on similar missions, aud had been detected and executed, They were, therefore, agree ably surprised a fow days after this by sesing the doctor walk into their office. He made an extensive report which proved in every way eatiefactory. The deception which he had practioed upon DeLonde, who by the way was a brother-in-law of Judah P, Benjamio, tho rebol secretary of state, and upon Parker, bad worked admirably, He had procured pasees to viait the Merrimac and the fortifica tions about Washington and many other places, where valuable information could be obtained, and as an evidence of his success and of the truthfuluess of his report he ex- hibited fifteen one-hundred.dollar groenbacks, which had been given to bim by Delonde, with whom he made a contract to enter into parteership to run the blockade of the Potor mac, instead of joining the rebel army as & surgeon, Healso displayed a full set of rebel army signals which had been furnished him by D Loude for the purpose of signalling the rebels when he might want to land on the Virginia side of the Potomac with his sloop and car o, It was left to a Nebraska Clty man to suggest that the recent s'irrlng up of Lon- don’s cess-pool of vice was Instigated by Russia, which, he says, owns the ZPall Mall Gazelte, “Might this not be a ruse,” he asks in a communication to the Chlcago Zimes under date of July 14th, “‘to draw the attention of England to thls affair while some important operations ara undertaken In the nelghborhood of Herat? * * * Watch the cablegrams from Indls, and they may give a reason why these disclosures are made at this time,” The 7imes of July 17th says that the suggestion, written threc days previouely In Nebraska, scems to be curl- ously sustained by the cablegrams, and adde: ‘‘As a result of Rursian move- wents, only just reverled, on the Afghan frontler, 1l Europo is agaln exclted with the prospect or pos:ibility of a great war.

Love and and Oanfield who always travel with the Adams party, Mrs. Adams and party, accompanled by Mr. Millet, the palnter, Dr. and Mra, Quincy, of Boston, have contlnued west. ward, and will spend the summer months touring among the mountalns, The special traln bearlng the Adams party was expected here about 5:30, but was delayed on the road. It was eo late when Mr. Adams repalred to his room 1n the Millard hotel that he steadily dec- clined to be ecen by any of the reporters for the morning papers and they wero forced to content themeelves with a pass- ing gllmpse of the great man as he strode up and down the rotunda whils tte names were being rogfstered vy the acribe of the party. A Bee reporter having made np his mind to Intervlew the great C. F. A, Jr., wended hls way to the Union Paci- fic headqoattera a few minates before 12 o’clock to-day, and took up his post ont- sldo of the room of the general manager, with whom Mr. Adams hes been In close conference all dsy. After walting pa tlently for about a quarter of &n hour, Mr. Adams came out of the room, and started out Into the hall at a pace which clearly indicated that he scented danger of some kind or another. He had not walked very far, however, bafore the Bee man bad cavght up with him, “Aha! my young friend,” murmured the great man a3 the reportor stood ho- fore him waiting for the Interview togur- ale forth spontaneopsly, “Aha! what can 1 do for you?” “I am a rcporter for the Bre, and should ke very much—" “You ara a reporter? Then sir, gocd day,” and Oharles Francis Adams started t> mako ks escspe. He was too tlow, however, and was sgain confronted by the interviewirg fiend. “‘Mr. Adams, 1 notice that you have been guoted by the Deaver papers as having made a¢ two different times state- ments dlametrically opposed to each other—statements whic! 2 “Not sruprlsing at all, sir. Not snr- prising at all. 1 have been shamefully treated by the western newepapers—havo been made to make statements which 1 never uttered or never even thought of. What do you refer to?” “‘You sre quoted at one tims as having sald, in speaking of MOYING THE OMAHA SHOPS to Denver that the company last fall contemplated such a thing, and would have dona so but for the labor troubles in that city, and in another interview, you are said to have remarked that the company never has had eny such iuten- tion.” “‘The fact of the matter is,” replied Mr. Adams, “that | never mado any euch statement as the former—never droamod of sayingit. It isridicalous. You need never have auy fear that the main shops of the Union Pacific road will be removed to Denver. How can they bo removed? The maln Interests of tho road ars centered here, the head- quarters are, and to think of removing the shops from Omaha would be ridlca- lous. What I did eay, and what prob- ably gave rise to the published state- ments you refer to, was that the Unlon Paclfic wanted to enlarge and improve the shop facllitles at Denver, which are now none of the beat.” *‘Supposing such improvements or ad- ditlons were made, would the scale of the Omaha shops bs reduced?’ “'No, 1t would have no more effect than woul similar changes or Improvements in our Kaneas Cty shops.” “What do you think of the prospects of the Unton Paclfic throwing out a new line fnto northern or northwestern Ne- braska?” “L can't ssy angthlng very definite to you on that polnt. Wawant to do all we can for Nebraska and do what ls vight for the Interes!s of the state. But the Union Pacific has no money at present and can't build any such lines.” After relterating that he had no vlews which he cared to communlcate to the ptess, that ho was tired of answering queations *What do you think ebout tals, or what do you think about that?’ Mr. Adams waved his hand In graceful adlen and disappeared around the hall, Since _leaving hero about ten days ago Mr, Adams has bean over and fnspected the entire Unlon Pac'fic system between the Mjesour! rlver and Laramls, which takes In the Kansas Paclfic from Kansss City to Cheyenne and all of its branches. Wherever he went the people mot him with propositlons for varlous lmprove- ments, and all recelved assurances that the Union Pacllic would be on the look out for thelr best inter- ests and advancement, Mr, Adams’ views regarding the bullding of vladucts in1lls city liave already been set forth by him In & personal lotter to the mayor, but 1t is presumed the committee of coun- cllmen and cltizens who called on him before will do so sgaln while he {s here. Mr, Adams will probibly leave for the east to-day.
