THE MARTHA WASHINGTON EAsE-EscAPE
OF RUFUS CHAPlS.-We fn1 the following
in the Cincinnati Times of Friday:
1t will be recollected that when the Mar
tina Washington prisoners were arrested on
the warrant from the Governor Of Arkansas,
Rufus Chaplin was lying sick at the Walnut
street House. A guard was put over him,
and it was the intention to also remove Iim
10 Helena, whenever it should be found that
he was able to travel. -lar
How viglant this guard was, proves itself
in the fact that night before last Rufus left
his room, and has not since been seen by the
police. -.
We learn that he passed through the Office
of the hotel, where quite number Of persons
were as usual seated, and that he attracted
no particular attention. This implies that
he was pretty we'll disguised. From pref
ty authentic source we learn that his hair
and his whiskers were dyed and that his
clothes were cut in the travelling fashion. L.
He Immediately entered carriage in
waiting and was driven distance offilty-five
miles before daylight to point where he took
the express train, and is By this time on the
shore of the Atlantic. What part of Europe
or South America may be his future home
does not concern US.
We learn that the drive was little too
much for the noble horse which carried him,
and that he departed this life short time after
the point was won.
Rufus is the youngest of the Chapns, and
more of the sympathy ofthe public has been
manifested for him and his interesting lady
than any other of the defendants. Whether
guilty or innocent, he has played an adroit
trick which will saw e him considerable trouble

or The Gardiner trial came to final,
and rather tragicsl conclusion on Friday last,
at Washington City. 1t will be recollected
that DR.. Gardiner was once before tried on
charge Of defrauding the government, by
laying claim to quicksilver mine in Mexico,
and the trial resulted in the disagreement of
the jury. At the recent trial the jury con-
victed him of the crime as charged, and he
was sentenced by the Court to ten years i'm
prisonment in the penilentiary. After the
rendition of the verdict, and while motion
was pending before the Court on a bill Of ex-
ceptions, the doctor committed suicide by
taking poison, saying as he drank the fatal
draught, that"he would soon be tried before a
Court that would not find him guilty." 2
This notorious individual has occupied a
conspicuous position before the federal tri-
bunals of this country for the last two years,
and now, that the courts and jsry of his
country have found him guilty, his name will
doubtless GO down to posterity, with no
more enviable notoriety, than having been
the author of one of the most gigantic swim.
dies ever perpetrated upon the American
government. His tragic death will only add
to the notoriety of his infamy, and give an
additional proof of the consciousness Of his
own guilt. @ .4 p. ..st.a4 l1.2'1 nfa

water work. for me city.

A member of the firm OF Dugsan, Cart
wright &C.,, Philadelphia, submitted pro-
position to our City Council on Saturday
night last, for supplying the city with water.
Amsng the many improvements in progress
and in contemplation in connection with our
city, there is no one more important to the
entire mass Of our people, End no one which
would confer so many direct and healthful
advantages, as the introduction of bounti-
full supply eff pure water, generally diffused
throughout the corporation. Our present
supply of water for the summer months, is
in most instances not only scanty, but actu-
ally bad, and must of necessity have a dele
ferrous effect upon the health of the inhabi-
tants. ~
But Of the advantages of such an enter.
prize, either direct or remote, we need not
speak. They are too we'll known and have
been practically demonstrated in nearly all
the Eastern cities of the United States
The practcability of entertaining the propo-
sition at this time, lie the point which directs
ass~Ai W eoC ihiho Vi S'ciy Ciii@cb, oHu Hot0
especially to the consideration OF the city
fathers who are the legal guardians and re-
representatives of our corporate interests
The proposition, which has already been sum-
marily submitted, contemplates the fitering
of tie water before it reaches the city, thus
rendering it at all times free from the ioath-
some impurities inseparable from the supply
of water now in use.
The company which has made these over
lures to the Council, has been eminently sue.
cessful in the construction of such works in
several Of the Eastern cities, upon terms and
in a manner highly satisfactory to all parties.
The tax upor the property of the city would
be very small, and only sufficient amount
would be required, after the work is finished
toindemnify the company against too heavy
losses before the water rents should prove
adequate to defray current expenses. We
can imagine no greater blessing that can rea-
sonably befall our thriving city, than the re.
alization of the objects contemplated in this
proposition. We are pleased to learn tina,
the Council look upon the matter with ia.
vor, and resolved to confer further with the
company upon the subject. -

and so unmistakably marked out, and al
ready those iron ligamen,s which are con-
%tinusl'y binding in one common brother
erhood Of interest and sympathy the most

erring aim at the heart Of Nebraska. The
present monetary crisis may retard FOR a

tuous an enterprise, necessity that all per-
vodins and ever controlling motive power,
drives this like all other objects OF
its creation, 70 a sure and certain compile
ton. Necessity imperatively demands
and reason teaches us that ere long we
shall hear the shnll whistle Of The Iocomo-
tive on the East side Of the Missouri riv-
er. Nature never designed il should stop
here, for she has been most unique in her
plan laid OUT upon the face of the coun-
try Westward, yet up the beautiful and
fertile Platte Valley, with mild and gem
lie grade tlreugh whieh The Platte comes
~meandering from the far West as if to
invites us back to its source; nature has
done more here 10 facilitate the cons,ruc-
tim of a Railroad by mild curvatures and
gentle grades, than on either side for
thousand miles; this questson is one which
should be carefully considered by all VIII,
have or eNpectto find homes in Nebraska.
The golden opportunity when time shall
present it for the consultation Of S
grand and glorious a scheme, should never
be permitted to cOne and go without
just appreciation Of its Importance and
iudicious use OF all the facilities and ad
vsntsges natu and circumstances hav'

alive and awake 10 her W highest an
best interest, she will have an eye singl
to this, and then the question Of a Pscif
Railroad is settled forever.
