He thought polities should not be con- sidered in the house in connection with the question. e thought though that it ought tocome in as one state and not be divided. Mr. Holman does not, it must be observed, represent any eonsiderable proportion of his party in this issue, and there is nothing in the eyes of the demoerats but polities in the question.

It was stated by one of the minor officials that the General, among other things, was looking after the leases of some rooms occupied by postoffices in his state. An dmpression seoms to have seized a large proportion of the people that the g went ean lease rooms for second and third class postofiices. This 15 a mistake, The postmaster general mightdo this, but he has not the funds to pay for the leases, and it is almost impossible to have a lease made even though the rent be nowinal, It is said that Gen, Weaver's efforts to procure a large num- ber of changes in lowa postoflices have proven unsuceessful, A CONTINENTA neral Rosecrans, register of the treasury, today received from General Weaver, of Towa, a continental note of 1775, accompanied by the following note: “I hand you here- With the enclosed oblization of the colonial government, which is the property of Mr. George Lester, of Bloomficld, Towa. 1 am requested to present the same for payment, together with interest, if any interest is pay- able, under the luw. ‘I'he amount is for $70 and the nunber is 70936, 1 beg to refer to article 6 of the constitution of the United States, The bill is of the issuo of this gove wment of 1719, The signature is so badly worn that it cannot be deciphiered.” The mote is & genuine ecuriosity, It is about two-thivds the size of the preseut nni forin paper bills, but is more nearly square. ‘he neie is printed on yellow paper, and its face reads: “On this note the bearer is en- titiad to receive seventy Spanish dollars or an equal sum in gold or silver, according to the resolution of congress of the 1ith of Jan- uary, 119" On the back is some funcy CURIOSITY, THE OmMAHA DALy BEE At the ton are nty dollars.” The bot contains the imprint of the n referred to the se r A decision, WILL BE DEFEATED.

B, Wright, a music teacher who was a graduate of the conservatory of was then em ployed as a music teacher in a prominent seminary for young ladies In Mississippi. The rules of the institution required tha no centlemen teachers be employed unless marricd. Wright, who was a native of Connesticut, represented that he was married and wasable tosatisfy the principal of that fact, After he had been employed there some time informed one of the voung lady pupils that he was not married, but had re himself so in order to get a place. The young girl was infatuated with Nim and they became engaged to be married. “Tlie gitl’s family opposed the marriaze and nde an appeal to Mr. Manning to look up the younyg man's history, Manning said the young gitl was headstrong and almost cer- tain to rn away, although closely guarded, unless evidence could be quickly procured that Wright was wartied. Consul Dubois, an old newspaper man, responded to this re quest with the alacrity of a veteran reporter. He looked up Wright's record and found he had a wife and two children in Leip: The wife was in very poor eircumstances and was oblived to support her little family on carnings of twenty-four cents a day as acorset maker. Dubois procured her mar- riage certificate, giving her an oflicial coy in exchan 1 also sceurcd several of fher hushand's ters, This was done within twenty-four hours of the re t of Man- ning's letter, Mr. Manning says the infor- mation reached the Mississippi family just in time to break off the contemplated marriage, The young lady threw Wright over and con- fesscd o ler parents they had planned to elope that very night. When the inforna- tion arrived Wright was promptly dismissed fromt ninary, but out of regard for the girl's family no publicity was given to the matter and it has just leaked out here. Itis understood Wright is employed in some place in Towa or Missouri as musie teacher MOVEMENT TO SECURE LOCAL OPTION.

A. C. Mellctte, the governor elect of the proposed state of Da- Kota, in which reference s made to the oppo- sition being made in the senate to making a state ont of a portion of that tervitory and a territory out of the part, Mr. Mellette says: “1 should think South Carolinaa good source for our tight to_ emenate from. Boyn- ton [this is the democrat from Dakota who is here and conducting the opposition to state- hood and talking so much about a ‘threatened revolution’ in the territory] was a membe of the first constitutional convention at Sjoux Falls and a leader of the movement, He de- clared in his place in that econvention that he would go home unless we elected state offie- ersthen. He was with us until six months ago. Some one mentioned him for territor- ial governor and he since then been on the other sid We had twenty-live leading demoerats in that convention and they were all for ction and if need be revolution. There is no longer ap excuse that we are not qualitied for statehood, The census and tistics settle that question. The admis- sion s not admit. We liave jnst as much authority to make a constitution berore as after its passage. The only thing 1s we must doit at our own expense. Congress has only a legal right to refuse us admission upon th ground that we have not attained a self-gov- erning condition, or that our constitution is not republican in form. Of course congress may refuse to admit, but she eannot do it lawfully. Itis like a judge refusing to pass sentence after trial, u will observe our cause is attracting attention, and it the demo- cratie ty keeps us out it will be an issue in the next campaign. It is reported here in Washington that the opposition to the admission of Dakota is being worked up by Ex-Governor Ordway, who is living here now, that the ex-gc nor is using the democrats as a cats paw, hoping that hie can get up a row among them, so that atter the territory is divided and the lower half made a state, he will havea claim upon the republicans there for a United States senatorship on the theory that he did a party service in wmaking trouble among the dew- oerats, L THUE APACHE WASHINGTON, Dee. 20, —[ Associated Press| —~Senator Manderson and Congressmen Springerand Laird called upon the secretary of war to<day to discuss with him the situa- tion in southern New Mexico in regard to the Apache troubles, They represented to him the defenseless condition of the and made known their purpose to intry abill soon after the ‘recess providing for raising a body of troops for the spee- al purpose of hunting, aud if neces- ry, extermininating the murderous hordes which have been making that region a desert.

Burnett vs the United States would bring about an almost total change in the rates of pensions allowed to the widows of the soldiers of the Inte war. The decision, which was rvendered by Justice Harlan, on the contrary, sustains the practice of the ‘pension office.” Mrs, Burnett’s hus- band, Gen. Ward 1. Burnetf, was allowed a pension of 372 per month by ‘a special act of congress, on_account of his totally helpless ondition, due to wounds received during the Mexican war. The widow was allowed & pension of $30, in accordance with the pro- visions of the gencral law. She, however, appealed to the court of claims, elaim: ing the same amount per. month that her husvand had received. That court in its decision used this language: “The widow becomes entitled to a pension, not necessarily at the same rate her busband was entitled to, but the rate e would have been entitled to it his claim were founded upon what in the pension law is technically called ‘total disability,’ ” “The degree of disability by which his pen- sion was rated makes 1o difference with the widow's right. —After death all degrees of disability are considered by law asone and the same, to-wit: total disability, and the rate of pension given to that grade becomes the rate of pension for widows, Pensions to liv- ing soldiers are granted according to their re- spective incapacity to perform manual labor. When_ disability “is total = $30 month is given as an equivaient. A pension of €30 o month, the supposed equivalent for total disability, is granted a widow. ‘The deeision of the’ United Sta supreme court, which has been so much mis understood, siiply, as before stated, afirms the judgment of the court of claims, and the long established “practice of the pension number hoth 4,045 in- 9,757 ber clusiv 4 | bureau has thereby received the sanction of the highest tribunal in the land. HOLMAN ON DAKOTA'S ADMISSION, In speaking to-day of the recent oceur- renees in Dakota Judge Holman, of Indiana, saidThat he thought the time lad probably come when it was right that Daketa should be admitted as a state. ‘The house, he said, had no right to consider the political bearings of the case, The only questions that curred (o his mind were whether the popula- tion was sufliciently settled and perimanent to make it better” for them to be under a state form of government, whether school Tunds, ete., could be sufticiently secured, and the question of ernment interests in the reservations, “The government has immense interests in’ tie territory Sioux reservation, and it was undoubtedly true that these interests could be better looked to under a territory than a state, but this lust, he thought, was not a sufticient reason for refusing admission. The trouble is, he sald, when territories spring up so rapidly, that the rm;.w do not” become suflicient- ly settled at once, their interests do not become so closely connected with the territory as to make them always so anxious fox its well being as should bé the case. Before thay were given control of the affairs of the country tuey should be solidly enough established to bessie from the whnfl actions of speculators, sharp=a and ad- venturers, wliose only Jupose wout be to get personal gain, - The public lands, the schiool lands, must be ))luh-\'lnl and the mat- ter of land grants carcfully guarded.

A Negro Rapist Burned toa Stake by a Mob. (Special Telegram. ] —Details of the burning of the negro mur- derer, Alex Rteed, at Gainestown, yesterday ¥ 2 mob show it to be a most horrible affair. Friday Miss Carrie Boyer, walking along the road near Gainestown, was suddenly set up on by the fellow and murdered, the body being badly mutilated, Saturday Reed was arrested and placed in jail, but maintained silence till Sunday afternoon when he con- fessed the erime, He said the young woman was too strong for him to handle and in the struggle his gun was aceidentally discharged, inflicting a fatal wound. Fearing if left that she would live long enough to betray him, le determined to finish her by beating out her brains with the stock of his gun and mutilating the body. When this confession beeame known the excitement ran high and yesterday a mob of 5)0 persons, white and colored, took Reed out on th 1 beyond Dr. Joe Smith's and chained him to atree within a few yards of the spot where Carrie Boyer was found dying. Eager hands piled light wood about the doomed wreteh and one among the number applied the flame. As the angry tongues of fire leaped upward the negro gave a terrific shriek of azony The smoke and flames enveloped him so quickly that the assembly thought he would escape what had been prepared on the way out as punishment, so the brands were scat- tered and the man was again in view, con- torted with the pain of burning. Once more apenof light wood wa, constructed and the flames sprang up briskly, scorehing the negro with intenseheat. Before they became fatal, however, they were again subdued, In fact death was made as lingering and awful as possible and it was not until the third fire was built that the soul of_the miserable mur- derer eseaped its tortured prison. Then the pine knots were piled up higherand the body of the vietim of public vengeance was re- duced to ashes. This done the dangling ehain and smouldering embers were left as a monument for the consideration of those who may in the future desire to tread in Reed's footsteps.
