THE ADVERTISER THtJl3SA,Y, APRIL 3. 1S70 The Louisiana lottery charter has beerl repealed. - on Fairmont. Neb., is soon to have a 24 hours wsYklng match. The Sugar crops of the Sandwioh Islands are reported good. Prince Waldemar, third son- - of tKe Grown prince of Germany, died of heart disease, on the 27th ult. A Colored man, named Knox- - Mor- ton, was hanged ab'Nashville. Tenn., for murder, in presence.of 2r000 peo- ple. .. . The residence of Jddge Needles, five G3Hesoutb,'Of Bock Port, Mo., .was' destroyed' by fire, one day, laBt week. 'The love letters introduced in court by Mrs. Oliver, purporting to have '.been wrJtten by Cameron, are turn-lu- g out to be all forgeries. A man named G. M. Deth was burn- ed to death in a prairie fire, near Hastings, Neb., last week. He was 58 years old, and recently ffoin Lake County, Indiana. A bill for woman suffrage- - was re- cently defeated in the Massachusetts House of Representatives by a vote of 85 to 82. That was pretty close and encourages hope of ultimate triumph. Judge J. M. Elliott, of the Court' of Appeals, at Frankfort, Ivy., was as- sassinated on the 12th ult. by Thomaa Buford. Theonly provocation Buford Ifed was an adverse decision of the Judge, in which Buford wrfs a party. A negro named Howard was hang- ed, after which his body was burned, at Ft. Scott one night last week. Jvansas keeps pace with Nebraska-j- n pavagism. Howard's crime was ra- ping a white girl named Pond, 12 years old. Hon. Chas. H. Bell, appointed by the Governor of New Hampshire U. S. Senator to fill a vacancy, has been refused admission to his seat. The Democrats do not hesitate to violate their doctrines of State rights when It benefits their party to do so. Eli Perkins, in a letter to tire Cin- cinnati JSnquirer, ventures this pre- diction : "Murk my words for it, be- fore the election for the next Presi- dent, President Hayes will be as radi- cal' aa Grant. Every negro In Missis- sippi will be allowed to vote at the next election if it takes a regiment of soldiers in each county." And EH is goodaut!iority. Ben. F. Sanders has gone into part- nership with Ed. Benedict in- - the publication of the Iris, at Idaho Springs, Colorado. Their paper is neat, newsy and vivacious. We hope it will meet the general wants of that locality, and that our old friends will realize all and mora than their ambi- tion has craved. Slate Journal: The Herald admits virtually that it has been badly worst- ed in its attempt to show up great ex- travagance in the late Legislature ap- propriations-, but contents itself with owearing that no Republican news- paper dares to "defend the Legisla- ture." So far as the Journal knows it needs no defense-.- ' The Republicans of Congress have resolved to stand firmly by the doc- trines of Republicanism the-greate- of which is the right of every uiqd to vote and to vote as he pleases. The Democrats of Congress are equally determined to remove every guard that etaiMls in the way of'ballot box stuffing, intimidation, fraud and Dem ocratic supremacy. Slate Journal: Senator" Paddock uttered a very unnecessary word, so far as Nebraskans are concerned, wben he declared that everything that Rosewater wrote to the Bee con-corni- ng Ibe row in the delegation at "Washington was false, and that he would prove it to his constituents. Nedward never takes the trouble to . write the truth to the Bee. Anybody can do that, and no proof is necessary to establish the falsity of all his fac- tional utterances. St. J. Fenn, Fon-in-Ia- w of F. W. Robb, has been assigned to duty at the Nebraska City Distil- lery by Collector Crounse. He cele- brated his appointment by a glorious drunk last night. He Is, however, o worthless convert of John B. Finch, temperance. Avcfi. City Press. We hope ir Is not true that Mr. Fenn has broken His pledgesand good resolves; and we shall not believe it without better testimony than the word of the Press which we Know will lie about temperance men. Tt some time ago published a similar state- ment regarding the present editor of The Advertiser, the truth being that he had not tasted for years pre-- - viously any kind of intoxicating li- quors. The Press being anti temper- ance and careless of its veracity, would rather lie about temperance people, we believe, than tell the truth if in any degree it suits its purpose better todoso. The Lincoln Globe, being in an- guish over- - the next Senatorial con- test in Nebraekai relieves itself as fo- llows : Heretofore the question-o- f territori- al boundaries haa entered Into the contest, and the senatorship has been eiveu to the North or South Platte or wherever the incumbent resided. Now, however, it la proposed to do sectional lines, ana away with mere take the besi timber, so to speak, no rnatter in wbotpartof the State it has crown. We hear it whispered about that the friends-o- f Judge Briggs pro- pose to bring him out as a candidate, whether lio will consent or not. we do not know that he is even aware of the movement, but it is none the less true that Judge Brigc.s haoascoreof friends who will stand by him and if needs be die in the last ditch, as it were. "Now, however it If proposed," etc., etc. A selfish proposition of the Olobe. That's all. We pity Briegf, whom we under- stand to be a gentleman, and one de- serving a better fate than slow death at the hands of the Globe. After the Globe ha9 tortured Briggs for a year orso we presume the Bee will finish what's left of him. On the 20th ult. Gen. Garfield made a in the House which made the confederates fairly writhe In their seats. The following is an extract: "You said, in 1SG1, that 'the doc- trine of eecession must be accepted, or we wiU shoot down the government.' That was an open, manly declaration. You say, in 1879, 'You mast accept democratic dictation or we will starve out the gavernment.' This is base, mean cowardly. In 1855, before- - the war, when the democracy was in its prime, you considered it necessary, wise-- , and constitutional that the United States marshals should have power to use the United States army, navy , or marines as a posse to search the house ofovery northern man in pursuit of fugitive slaves. In 1879, the negro being free and a voter, you think it unwise, dangerous and'un-constitution- al for the United States marshal to have- - a posse to command either the army, the navy, or the marines, or an armed civil oosse to protect that nepro at the polls, and you threatpn tn starve ouc the eotf-- " ernment unless that law is repealed." His concluding words made the democrats fear that If the speech is not to chance the decrees of the dpm-ocrat- ic caucus, it isjdestined to startle the republican north. It was to bean appeal from the fiat of the secret dem- ocratic league to the God-crowne- d, God-annoiut- ed sovereignty of the peo- ple. Some of the leading points of this remarkable speech may be here sum- marized: Gen. Garfield began with a consciousness of the deep solemnity of the crisis into which the democracy has forced the country. His words showed the deptii of his convictions. "We have," he said, "to-da- y resolved to enter upon a revolution against the constitution of the United States. Free consent is our theory of law. That Is the granite foundation-ston- e of our whole politlcal'structure. Yet in the last congress the democratic leaders announced the policy of coer- cion, which is inaugurated liere to- day. Your methods aer revolutio- ns' to the core. They are contrary to the principles of American institu- tions." Then, with masterly skill, Gen. Garfield sketched the history of the law which it Is proposed to repeal, and showed that it originated with the democrats. Inter Ocean: A Democratic victory in 1880 will turn over the government to the By that time the Democrats in Congress will have repealed the test-oat- h act. If their majority should be increased in 18S0. and thsy should electa President, a new act prescribing an oath of office will probably be placed on the statute books. This new oath, judging from the Democratics spirit of the clay, will read like this: "I, A B, do sol- emnly swear (or affirm) that I did not voluntarily bear arms in the so-call- ed Union army in its base attempt to subjugate the South ; that I did not voluntarily give aid, countenance, counsel, or encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility to the Southern idea; that I never sought nor accepted office at the hands of the Union Republican or National Re- publican party; that I did not yield a voluntary support to any of the pretended amendments to the Con- stitution ; that I did not serve aa officer or private in the Eo-call- ed Union armies. And I do further .swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States as interpreted by the Confederate leaders; that I will labor to ebCtiro tli8 repeal of the obnoxious amendments, and that when the amendments are repealed I ll bear true faith a.'id allegiance tothe Constitution ; that J take this obligation with mental reservations only as To the so-call- ed amendments; and that I will well and faithfully discharge my duty to the South and the Denlocratio-party- ; so help me God." There is a stampede of negroes now in progress from the Southern States to Kansas, and over 2.000 of these Im- migrants havejalready this spring passed through St. Louis bound for that land of freedom. They tell hor- rible tales of tho brutalities and cru- elties to which the blacks have been subject By the Southern whites, when they attempted "m any manner toact as freemen or demand such rights. It is from this Democratic oppression that they flee. When the hardships, destitution, suffering, which they will most certainly have to undergo in the new and colder climate of Kan- sas, is pictured to them, they declare tbey would rather die than go back among the bulldozers ; that they will cheerfully endure all hardships in a land whero the laws are administered to all citizens alike, rather than re- turn where the black man has no rights before the law. Arthur Chambers and John Clark, of Philadelphia, on the 27tb ult. had a fight on Canadian soil. The3T fought 137 rounds, in two hours and twenty minutes. Tho stakes were $1,000 a side and the light weight champion- ship of the United States. Chambers won the fight. After Clark's second had thrown up thesponge, Clark pro- tested and wanted the struggle, but Chambers telling him he would rather give him one hun- dred dollars than punish him any more, Clark concluded to take it and surrender. The weightof each of the men normally Is about 155 poundp, but tbey were "trained down," Clark to 123 and Chambers 127. The STask Thrown off. Cincinnati Gazette: To this wo hare come at last. In the United States Senate, on Sunday night:,, the Democratic side of that body upheld Jefferson Davis as a patriot, and made haste to couple him with Washington and Hampden, who acquired fame in the war for independence. Jjamar said he was as great a rebel aa Davis ; he believed as Davis believed ; he be- lieved now that the rebellion was right, and the only difference between himself and the great Southern lead- er was that Davis was Che bigger man and the greater patriot. This was big talk in the face of the American peo- ple who suppressed the rebellion, and of the survivors and friends of those whse bodies, pierced with rebel bul- lets, lie in silent graves. . If Jefferson Davis was a patriot, and if the cause of which be was a leader was right, what was the position of those who fought for the Union ? And what is the position of the rebel .leaders now ? If the rebel cause was right, then all that is required to make It a success is power. The loyal people cn thus see upon what aa narrow neck of land they stand. The rebel party ja Con-cre- ss hurling defiance at the Joyal North, and no Northern Democrat there to dispute their claim. The reb- el party Is bold. It is on the point of assuming control of the Senate, which it lest in 1801, when its members crossed the Hue Into rebeldom, and now that it has power, it does not h?sitate to class Jff. Davis, thschief rebel, with Washington, the father of his country. Richard J. Bright, the man selected as Sergeant-at-arm- s of the presenfcU. S. Senate, has peculiar qualifications for a Democratic official, bright be- ing the publisher of the Indianapolis Sentinel in 1871, was elected Si'ite printer, was afterward indicted for" perjury in swearing to the most pre- posterous paper and printing bills, all of which were of course allowed by the Secretary of State. Bright was proven guilty f f perjury, and would now be in the penitentiary had it not been that the Democrats on thejury would not permit a decision. The matter was afterward compromised by the Democratic party by Bright refunding to the State $20,000 of the money be had stolen. However, it wouldn't be the Democratic party it would be some other party if it didn't seek out such men as Bright for favorite fat offices. The Furnas Nursery Sale's Yard i3 now being opened on the lot next to the Chicago Lumber Yard on Main street, Brownville. Much of the stock Is already opened out, and more being received and brought in daily. Per- haps by the time our readers receive this issue the Sale Yard will be in full blast. Mr. Furnas inrormsus that or- ders from a distance will take up a largo proportion of the stock. Two car loads forest trees and evergreens have been sent to Lincoln already. Tn absence at any time of Mr. Furnas himself, the Sale Yard will bo left in charge of Mr. John McCreery, an ex- perienced tree man. We think it worthy of note thatat the two last terms of our district court the grand jury has not found a single indictment. The grand jury last week, no business comiug before it, was discharged at the close of the first day of the court. Some think that the prevailing temperance sentiment and the decrease of whisky is tb princi- pal cause of this decrease In crimes in our city and county. O, dear, Brownville "is ruined," and Nema- ha county is nearly "gone up," too. Admitting that the late legislature was reckless and extravagant and cor- rupt, who, we pray, is to blame? Omaha Bee. We, for one, do not admit that it waB extravagant, believing, as we do, that every appropriation made was necessary for the proper support of the State Institutions. Pawnee City, thinking itself able to enjoy linen collars and a plug hat, is going to incorporate as a city of the second class. The people wilt find it nnlv nn exnensive luxury, and one ljat wjn heavy ami burdonsomoon .ejrandfl. Rice Eaton retires from the Kear- ney Press, and J. C. Holden takes the editorial tripod. The Press will continue to be "stalwart" Republican and has our best wishes. "Does Prohibition prohibit?" asks the fellow about out of arguments.

Why, you don'fcsay ! That's awful indeed. Gold had been discovered in the vi- cinity of Wichita, Kansas, in paying quantities, and the people in that part of the State are greatly excited about it. At Mattoon, 111., 28th ult. in a whisky shop, Peter Haben, a young railroad man, struck Wm. Weible with a oar hook killing him instantly. Robert Sheenan, a boy of Milwau- kee, Wis,, recently died from wounds received while being whipped by a school master named Skewes. The OhioDemocracy will hold their State convention at Columbus, June 4th ; same day and place of the green-backer- s' convention. Mrs. Oliver said to Ben.

"" MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. i The Western Rural recommends the oatalpa for forest planting-- . At the end of the last year the number of Free Masons in the world was about 5,000,000, and of lodges about 15 000: Queen Victoria, it is rumored, has expressed a strong wish to see Cana- da, and the Prince of Wales is en- couraging her to visit both that coun- try and the United States. Corn in Texas is five cents per bushel, but what they most complain of Is that whisky is as high as ever. Toads and frogs were originally in- troduced into the Sandwich islands to exterminate cockroaches. Senator Jonas, the new Democratic Senator from Louisiana, does not hes- itate to say that he will do all that he can to oust Kellogg and seat Judge Spofford, Kellogg's former contest- ant. At a banquet given at Madrid by the Spanish advocates of the abolition of slavery last week, it was resolved that the society for promoting the to- tal disappearance of slavery from the Spanish colonies Bhould be organ- ized. Mrs, Lookwood, the first woman admitted to practice in the Supreme Court, is fifty years old, tall, erect, gray-haire- d, and the possessor of fine eyes. She made her first appearance in the court dressed in a semi-mannis- h blue cloth sacque, with brass buttons and a plain velveteen skirt. A colored chaplain ha3 been elected by the almost solidly Democratic House of Representatives in Ala- bama. It i3 a little puzzling to know what to infer from this. Do Alabama Democrats think less of the officers or more of the negro than th ey used to do? Who shallsay, says.the Christian Uniotir Senor Castelarand 103 former de- puties of the- - Spanish Cortez ha ye jbued a manifesto to the Democratic party. They announcs as their pr-gram- 5'feincere return to the Con- stitution of 1869, which proclaimed religious and educational liberty, free- dom of the press, iMid liberty-o- f meet- ing and association. The Governor of Texas has been running the pardoning mill for the last two years at the rate of 199 par- dons, forty-fiv- e of which wore granted to murderers and thirty-thro- e to horse-thieve- s. It is hardley wotth while to take the trouble to convict criminals when pardons are so easy and plentiful. Colonel ThoraaB A. Scott writes from Egypt that it would prove a great comfort to any busy American who could spare the time to come over there and enjoy a trip through that wonderful land; but he adds that he sees nothihg on that side of the Atlantic to compare with our good America, and that he Bhall return to her confirmed in the belief that we have the best and greatness country on the face of the earth. METEOROLOGY. Mild Winters and "Warm and Dry Summers. Written for the Advertiser. On a former occasion we alluded to the extreme cold weather having pre- vailed in Europe, but we now propose to change the view somewhat and notice the warm winters and dry and hot seasous that have prevailed in the same region, by which it will be seen that the Old Country has been ex- posed to every extremo known in the economy of the weather. The winter of 1171-- 2 was so warm that the leaves came out on the trees in January and the birds hatched their broods in February. In 1289 the winter was enuallv mild, and the maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of violets on Christmas day. In 1421 the trees flowered in tho month ol March, the vines in April the cherries ripen- ed in the same month and grapes ap- peared in May. In 1572 leaves ap- peared on the trees again in January, and the birds hatohed their young in February, as in 1172, (just four cen- turies before). In 158o the same thing was repeated, and it is added that corn was in ear at Easter. There was in France neither snow nor frost throughout the winters of 1607, 1609; and 1659. Even in the north of Ger- many it was so mild during the win- ter of 1661-- 2 that fires were only need- ed for culinary purposes, and finally coming down to later dates we find that the winters of 1846-- 7 and 1S65-- 6 were represented as uuusually pleas- ant. In regard to the dry and extreme warm seasons referred to, we find by reference to ancient meterological record, kept at Uremburg, Bavaria, that in 1132 the earth cracked open-b- y reason of the great' heat ; the wells and streamB in Alsacs all dried up, and even the bed of the river Rhine was dry. In 1152 the heat of the suu was so great that rand that wai ex- posed to his rays became sufficient hot to cook eggs. The summer of 1160 was so hot that a great number of the soldiers engaged in the cam- paign against Bela, died from the ex- treme heat. In 1276-- 7 the crops of hay and oats entirely failed. In 1303 a man could cross dry shod over the rivers Seine, Rhine and Danube. In 1394 a great number of animals per- ished from the heat, and the harvests dried up. During the years 1539-4- 0 and '41 nearly all the rivers inEurope were dry. In 1556 agreatdrouth pre- vailed nearlv all" over Europe. In T64S there were fifty-si- x consecutive days of extreme heat. The first three years of the eighteenth century were said to be excessively wsrm. In 17lS it did not rain a drop from April till October; the growing grain was dried up, and the theatres were closed by order of the police. The mercury stood at 113 in the shade, and in irri- gated gardens the fruit trees bloomed a'eecond time. The year 1746 was so dry and hot that the growing grain was calcined months passed away without any rain whatever. The years of 1748, '54. '60, '67, '68 and '8S was said to have been years of ex-extre- heat. In 1818 tho theatre S-- -- Hr: ""iSST" "WWBTW TTBai jpWW " r "5Srsap w n ifli--- r r - were again closed by reason of the great heat, the temperature of the at- mosphere being 112 in the shade. K.

Blackburn, the new candi- date for Speaker, is a Kentuckian born, but his chief claim to the office rests on the fact that he "entered the Confederate army in 1801. anrfserved throughout the war."

The Louisiana lottery charter hasbeerl repealed.

Fairmont. Neb., is soon to have a24 hours wsYklng match.

The Sugar crops of the SandwiohIslands are reported good.

Prince Waldemar, third son- - of tKe

Grown prince of Germany, died ofheart disease, on the 27th ult.

A Colored man, named Knox- - Mor-

ton, was hanged ab'Nashville. Tenn.,for murder, in presence.of 2r000 peo-

ple. ... The residence of Jddge Needles,five G3Hesoutb,'Of Bock Port, Mo.,

.was' destroyed' by fire, one day, laBtweek.

'The love letters introduced in courtby Mrs. Oliver, purporting to have'.been wrJtten by Cameron, are turn-lu- g

out to be all forgeries.

A man named G. M. Deth was burn-ed to death in a prairie fire, nearHastings, Neb., last week. He was58 years old, and recently ffoin LakeCounty, Indiana.

A bill for woman suffrage- - was re-

cently defeated in the MassachusettsHouse of Representatives by a vote of85 to 82. That was pretty close andencourages hope of ultimate triumph.

Judge J. M. Elliott, of the Court' ofAppeals, at Frankfort, Ivy., was as-

sassinated on the 12th ult. by ThomaaBuford. Theonly provocation BufordIfed was an adverse decision of theJudge, in which Buford wrfs a party.

A negro named Howard was hang-ed, after which his body was burned,at Ft. Scott one night last week.Jvansas keeps pace with Nebraska-j- n

pavagism. Howard's crime was ra-

ping a white girl named Pond, 12years old.

Hon. Chas. H. Bell, appointed bythe Governor of New Hampshire U.S. Senator to fill a vacancy, has beenrefused admission to his seat. TheDemocrats do not hesitate to violatetheir doctrines of State rights whenIt benefits their party to do so.

Eli Perkins, in a letter to tire Cin-cinnati JSnquirer, ventures this pre-diction : "Murk my words for it, be-

fore the election for the next Presi-dent, President Hayes will be as radi-cal' aa Grant. Every negro In Missis-sippi will be allowed to vote at thenext election if it takes a regiment ofsoldiers in each county."

And EH is goodaut!iority.

Ben. F. Sanders has gone into part-nership with Ed. Benedict in- - thepublication of the Iris, at IdahoSprings, Colorado. Their paper isneat, newsy and vivacious. We hopeit will meet the general wants of thatlocality, and that our old friends willrealize all and mora than their ambi-tion has craved.

Slate Journal: The Herald admitsvirtually that it has been badly worst-ed in its attempt to show up great ex-

travagance in the late Legislature ap-

propriations-, but contents itself withowearing that no Republican news-paper dares to "defend the Legisla-ture." So far as the Journal knowsit needs no defense-.- '

The Republicans of Congress haveresolved to stand firmly by the doc-

trines of Republicanism the-greate-

of which is the right of every uiqd tovote and to vote as he pleases. TheDemocrats of Congress are equallydetermined to remove every guardthat etaiMls in the way of'ballot boxstuffing, intimidation, fraud and Democratic supremacy.

Slate Journal: Senator" Paddockuttered a very unnecessary word, sofar as Nebraskans are concerned,wben he declared that everythingthat Rosewater wrote to the Bee con-corni- ng

Ibe row in the delegation at"Washington was false, and that hewould prove it to his constituents.Nedward never takes the trouble to

. write the truth to the Bee. Anybodycan do that, and no proof is necessaryto establish the falsity of all his fac-

tional utterances.

St. J. Fenn, Fon-in-Ia- w ofF. W. Robb, has been assigned

to duty at the Nebraska City Distil-lery by Collector Crounse. He cele-brated his appointment by a gloriousdrunk last night. He Is, however, oworthless convert of John B. Finch,temperance. Avcfi. City Press.

We hope ir Is not true that Mr.Fenn has broken His pledgesand goodresolves; and we shall not believe itwithout better testimony than theword of the Press which we Know willlie about temperance men. Tt sometime ago published a similar state-ment regarding the present editor ofThe Advertiser, the truth beingthat he had not tasted for years pre-- -

viously any kind of intoxicating li-

quors. The Press being anti temper-ance and careless of its veracity,would rather lie about temperancepeople, we believe, than tell the truthif in any degree it suits its purposebetter todoso.

The Lincoln Globe, being in an-

guish over- - the next Senatorial con-

test in Nebraekai relieves itself as fo-

llows :

Heretofore the question-o- f territori-

al boundaries haa entered Into thecontest, and the senatorship has beeneiveu to the North or South Platte orwherever the incumbent resided.Now, however, it la proposed to do

sectional lines, anaaway with meretake the besi timber, so to speak, no

rnatter in wbotpartof the State it hascrown. We hear it whispered aboutthat the friends-o- f Judge Briggs pro-

pose to bring him out as a candidate,whether lio will consent or not. we

do not know that he is even aware ofthe movement, but it is none the lesstrue that Judge Brigc.s haoascoreoffriends who will stand by him and ifneeds be die in the last ditch, as itwere.

"Now, however it If proposed,"etc., etc. A selfish proposition of theOlobe. That's all.

We pity Briegf, whom we under-stand to be a gentleman, and one de-

serving a better fate than slow deathat the hands of the Globe. After theGlobe ha9 tortured Briggs for a yearorso we presume the Bee will finishwhat's left of him.

On the 20th ult. Gen. Garfield madea in the House which madethe confederates fairly writhe In theirseats. The following is an extract:

"You said, in 1SG1, that 'the doc-trine of eecession must be accepted, orwe wiU shoot down the government.'That was an open, manly declaration.You say, in 1879, 'You mast acceptdemocratic dictation or we will starveout the gavernment.' This is base,mean cowardly. In 1855, before- - thewar, when the democracy was in itsprime, you considered it necessary,wise-- , and constitutional that theUnited States marshals should havepower to use the United States army,navy , or marines as a posse to searchthe house ofovery northern man inpursuit of fugitive slaves. In 1879,the negro being free and a voter, youthink it unwise, dangerous and'un-constitution- al

for the United Statesmarshal to have- - a posse to commandeither the army, the navy, or themarines, or an armed civil oosse toprotect that nepro at the polls, andyou threatpn tn starve ouc the eotf--"

ernment unless that law is repealed."His concluding words made the

democrats fear that If the speech isnot to chance the decrees of the dpm-ocrat- ic

caucus, it isjdestined to startlethe republican north. It was to beanappeal from the fiat of the secret dem-

ocratic league to the God-crowne- d,

God-annoiut- ed sovereignty of the peo-

ple.Some of the leading points of this

remarkable speech may be here sum-

marized: Gen. Garfield began with a

consciousness of the deep solemnityof the crisis into which the democracyhas forced the country. His wordsshowed the deptii of his convictions."We have," he said, "to-da- y resolvedto enter upon a revolution againstthe constitution of the United States.Free consent is our theory of law.That Is the granite foundation-ston- e

of our whole politlcal'structure. Yetin the last congress the democraticleaders announced the policy of coer-

cion, which is inaugurated liere to-

day. Your methods aer revolutio-ns' to the core. They are contrary tothe principles of American institu-tions."

Then, with masterly skill, Gen.Garfield sketched the history of thelaw which it Is proposed to repeal,and showed that it originated withthe democrats.

Inter Ocean: A Democratic victoryin 1880 will turn over the governmentto the By that timethe Democrats in Congress will haverepealed the test-oat- h act. If theirmajority should be increased in 18S0.and thsy should electa President, anew act prescribing an oath of officewill probably be placed on the statutebooks. This new oath, judging fromthe Democratics spirit of the clay,will read like this: "I, A B, do sol-

emnly swear (or affirm) that I did notvoluntarily bear arms in the so-call- ed

Union army in its base attempt tosubjugate the South ; that I did notvoluntarily give aid, countenance,counsel, or encouragement to personsengaged in armed hostility to theSouthern idea; that I never soughtnor accepted office at the hands of theUnion Republican or National Re-

publican party; that I did not yielda voluntary support to any of thepretended amendments to the Con-

stitution ; that I did not serve aa

officer or private in the Eo-call- ed

Union armies. And I do further.swear (or affirm) that I will supportand defend the Constitution of theUnited States as interpreted by theConfederate leaders; that I willlabor to ebCtiro tli8 repeal of theobnoxious amendments, and thatwhen the amendments are repealed I

ll bear true faith a.'id allegiancetothe Constitution ; that J take thisobligation with mental reservationsonly as To the so-call- ed amendments;and that I will well and faithfullydischarge my duty to the South andthe Denlocratio-party- ; so help meGod."

There is a stampede of negroes nowin progress from the Southern Statesto Kansas, and over 2.000 of these Im-

migrants havejalready this springpassed through St. Louis bound forthat land of freedom. They tell hor-

rible tales of tho brutalities and cru-

elties to which the blacks have beensubject By the Southern whites, whenthey attempted "m any manner toactas freemen or demand such rights. Itis from this Democratic oppressionthat they flee. When the hardships,destitution, suffering, which theywill most certainly have to undergoin the new and colder climate of Kan-

sas, is pictured to them, they declaretbey would rather die than go backamong the bulldozers ; that they willcheerfully endure all hardships in aland whero the laws are administeredto all citizens alike, rather than re-

turn where the black man has norights before the law.

Arthur Chambers and John Clark,of Philadelphia, on the 27tb ult. hada fight on Canadian soil. The3T fought137 rounds, in two hours and twentyminutes. Tho stakes were $1,000 aside and the light weight champion-ship of the United States. Chamberswon the fight. After Clark's secondhad thrown up thesponge, Clark pro-

tested and wanted thestruggle, but Chambers telling himhe would rather give him one hun-dred dollars than punish him anymore, Clark concluded to take it andsurrender. The weightof each of themen normally Is about 155 poundp,but tbey were "trained down," Clarkto 123 and Chambers 127.

Cincinnati Gazette: To this wo

hare come at last. In the UnitedStates Senate, on Sunday night:,, theDemocratic side of that body upheldJefferson Davis as a patriot, and madehaste to couple him with Washingtonand Hampden, who acquired fame in

the war for independence. Jjamarsaid he was as great a rebel aa Davis ;

he believed as Davis believed ; he be-

lieved now that the rebellion wasright, and the only difference betweenhimself and the great Southern lead-

er was that Davis was Che bigger manand the greater patriot. This was bigtalk in the face of the American peo-

ple who suppressed the rebellion, andof the survivors and friends of thosewhse bodies, pierced with rebel bul-

lets, lie in silent graves. . If JeffersonDavis was a patriot, and if the causeof which be was a leader was right,what was the position of those whofought for the Union ? And what is

the position of the rebel .leaders now ?

If the rebel cause was right, then allthat is required to make It a success ispower. The loyal people cn thus seeupon what aa narrow neck of landthey stand. The rebel party ja Con-cre- ss

hurling defiance at the JoyalNorth, and no Northern Democratthere to dispute their claim. The reb-

el party Is bold. It is on the point ofassuming control of the Senate, whichit lest in 1801, when its memberscrossed the Hue Into rebeldom, andnow that it has power, it does noth?sitate to class Jff. Davis, thschiefrebel, with Washington, the fatherof his country.

Richard J. Bright, the man selectedas Sergeant-at-arm- s of the presenfcU.S. Senate, has peculiar qualificationsfor a Democratic official, bright be-

ing the publisher of the IndianapolisSentinel in 1871, was elected Si'iteprinter, was afterward indicted for"

perjury in swearing to the most pre-

posterous paper and printing bills, allof which were of course allowed bythe Secretary of State. Bright wasproven guilty f f perjury, and wouldnow be in the penitentiary had it notbeen that the Democrats on thejurywould not permit a decision. Thematter was afterward compromisedby the Democratic party by Brightrefunding to the State $20,000 of themoney be had stolen. However, itwouldn't be the Democratic party itwould be some other party if itdidn't seek out such men as Brightfor favorite fat offices.

The Furnas Nursery Sale's Yardi3 now being opened on the lot nextto the Chicago Lumber Yard on Mainstreet, Brownville. Much of the stockIs already opened out, and more beingreceived and brought in daily. Per-

haps by the time our readers receivethis issue the Sale Yard will be in fullblast. Mr. Furnas inrormsus that or-

ders from a distance will take up alargo proportion of the stock. Twocar loads forest trees and evergreenshave been sent to Lincoln already.Tn absence at any time of Mr. Furnashimself, the Sale Yard will bo left incharge of Mr. John McCreery, an ex-

perienced tree man.

We think it worthy ofnote thatatthe two last terms of our district courtthe grand jury has not found a singleindictment. The grand jury lastweek, no business comiug before it,was discharged at the close of the firstday of the court. Some think that theprevailing temperance sentiment andthe decrease of whisky is tb princi-pal cause of this decrease In crimes inour city and county. O, dear,Brownville "is ruined," and Nema-

ha county is nearly "gone up," too.

Admitting that the late legislaturewas reckless and extravagant and cor-

rupt, who, we pray, is to blame?Omaha Bee.

We, for one, do not admit that itwaB extravagant, believing, as we do,

that every appropriation made wasnecessary for the proper support of theState Institutions.

METEOROLOGY.

Mild Winters and "Warm and DrySummers.

Written for the Advertiser.On a former occasion we alluded to

the extreme cold weather having pre-

vailed in Europe, but we now proposeto change the view somewhat andnotice the warm winters and dry andhot seasous that have prevailed in thesame region, by which it will be seenthat the Old Country has been ex-

posed to every extremo known in theeconomy of the weather.

The winter of 1171-- 2 was so warmthat the leaves came out on the treesin January and the birds hatchedtheir broods in February. In 1289 thewinter was enuallv mild, and themaidens of Cologne wore wreaths ofviolets on Christmas day. In 1421 thetrees flowered in tho month ol March,the vines in April the cherries ripen-ed in the same month and grapes ap-

peared in May. In 1572 leaves ap-

peared on the trees again in January,and the birds hatohed their youngin February, as in 1172, (just four cen-

turies before). In 158o the same thingwas repeated, and it is added thatcorn was in ear at Easter. There wasin France neither snow nor frostthroughout the winters of 1607, 1609;

and 1659. Even in the north of Ger-

many it was so mild during the win-

ter of 1661-- 2 that fires were only need-

ed for culinary purposes, and finallycoming down to later dates we findthat the winters of 1846-- 7 and 1S65-- 6

were represented as uuusually pleas-

ant.In regard to the dry and extreme

warm seasons referred to, we find byreference to ancient meterologicalrecord, kept at Uremburg, Bavaria,that in 1132 the earth cracked open-b- y

reason of the great' heat ; the wellsand streamB in Alsacs all dried up,and even the bed of the river Rhinewas dry. In 1152 the heat of the suuwas so great that rand that wai ex-

posed to his rays became sufficienthot to cook eggs. The summer of1160 was so hot that a great numberof the soldiers engaged in the cam-

paign against Bela, died from the ex-

treme heat. In 1276-- 7 the crops ofhay and oats entirely failed. In 1303

a man could cross dry shod over therivers Seine, Rhine and Danube. In1394 a great number of animals per-

ished from the heat, and the harvestsdried up. During the years 1539-4- 0

and '41 nearly all the rivers inEuropewere dry. In 1556 agreatdrouth pre-

vailed nearlv all" over Europe. InT64S there were fifty-si- x consecutivedays of extreme heat. The first threeyears of the eighteenth century weresaid to be excessively wsrm. In 17lS

it did not rain a drop from April tillOctober; the growing grain was driedup, and the theatres were closed byorder of the police. The mercurystood at 113 in the shade, and in irri-

gated gardens the fruit trees bloomeda'eecond time. The year 1746 was sodry and hot that the growing grainwas calcined months passed awaywithout any rain whatever. Theyears of 1748, '54. '60, '67, '68 and '8Swas said to have been years of ex-extre-

heat. In 1818 tho theatre
