The Capital Of Nebraska.

From the Council Bluff Bug'e, we learn
that Omaha has been selected as the seat OF
Government for Nebraska Territory. There
were about 800 votes polled at the election.
The Bugle has the following remarks in re-
lation to the matter:
CAPITAL. OF NEBRAsKA.-This much mo-
ted point is al last settled, and we have the
qualification of informing our readers that
our views, opinions, and judgement in re-
gard to the point best calculated and eligi-
Bile has been fully corroborated by the fact
that Omaha City is the favored spot, the
most central position and as possessing the
greatest advantage in many respects over
any place demanding attention in the Ter
ritory, the assertion of other town proprie-
tors to the contrary notwithstanding. The
Governor may expect to make many enc
mics by being in his unfortunate pestion.-
We do not begrudge any man this thank
less position. for the natual result will be
enmity from some quarter for every action.

to Little Rock, Ark, received letter from

ded:

I would not call man to the field unless ne

The $45,OOO Robbery from the
United States Express Company
Arrest Of the Supposed Per-
rAnfrnfnRS
pctratOrs.


Perhaps the most during robbery ever
perpetrated in this city, was that of the Uni=
ted States Express COmpany's agent at the
Hamilton and Dayton Depot few months
ago. IL will be remembered that he had
just taken the bag containing his vauables
from the car, and placing it in the express
wagon, turned for a moment to adjust a
package, and on lookine around, bag and
contents, amounting to foriy-fve thousand
dollars, were gone. His attention had been
diverted from it but for an instant, when it
disappeared in the most mysterious manner.
The Company offered large rewards for the
detection OF the thief or thieves and the
recovery Of the money, but until now With
out success. The police and the Company's
agents, however, have been constantly on
the alert, at one o'clock on yesterday morn
ing, Mayor Snelbaker, Captain Hoke, and
officers Carly, Parker, Rose, Hazen and
Hopkins arrested three young men, named
VIM. Williams, Sidney Miller and Edward
Skillman, on the charge of having commit
ted the robbery. Another man named Ba-
Zil Estep, arrested for the same offence, has
also been bronsht to the city, by the Mar
shal of Davenport, Iowa.
Williams is an omnibus driver, late dri-
yer in the employ of the Little Miami On
nibus Line, and at the time OF his arrest was
sleeping in one of the Company's stables.
Miller has also been an omnibus driver, but
has recently been engaged in breaking mules
and was arrested at house on the corner
of Court and Walnut. Skillman is dri-
yer of an express wagon in the employ Of
the very Company he is accused of having
robbed, and was in charge of the wagon
from which the money was taken We
know nothing Of Estep, but the fact of his
arrest. 1t is not thought prudent by the
officers to make further disclosures in ad-
vance Of the judicial examination, as they
suppose some important developments may
vet BIC made-Cin CoLnmbinn :

OsE o'ctocE P. M.--For about one mile
and half in length by-half mile In depth,
the hillside Offers such sights as these. Up
wards Of 1000 Russians have been buried
by these meflj few remain above ground now.
As Iwas standing In the Esndbak Battery
short time ago, talking 70 some officers Of
the Guards, who were describing their terrible
losses, Colonel Wilbraham, OF The Quarter
master Generals staff, rode up towards the
spot to superintend the operations. The in-
stance their cooked hats were seen aboTe the
ridge burst Of smoke arose out OF the val.
ley from the harborI and bizz! whish! bizzI--
came shell rightover us, and crashed into
the hillside, where our men were actually
engaged in burying the Russian dead! Such
atrocity needs no comment, and officers and
men were alike indignant at it. Colonel
Cunynghame told me he understood that
Lord Raglan had daetuallyj sent in flag Of
truce that very morning to the Russian gen.
erals to inform them that the parties on the
hillside were burying the dead. As he was
speaking, second shell was directed at us
and fell again to the right, but it was quite
evident that the society Of two officers in
cooked hats and on horseback, was not thu
safest in the world at that particular moment
and I'VE all three retired, though confess
would have willingly got away from then
more rapidly had my legs permitted me t
do So, One thing is quite clear that if sucl
acts as these are approved of by Russian
authorities, II will be impossible TO trea
their men as civilized beings, and the con
test will assume the worst characteristics o
barbarian warfare. 1t is impossible to be
leve that Russia, which has hither lavishe,
kindnesses on the few prisoners, which ha
fallen into their hands, can permit her say
age soldiery to murder the wounded, an
can allow her gunners to fire on men EN-
ploycd in the sacred duty Of burying tn

Thomas n. Benton.

This gentleman has recently made
speech in Congress,in opposition to The resto-
ration Of the Missouri Cempromise. He
thinks that Kansas will be ready to come in
as State by the next session Of Congress,
and that under our Constitution, it has the
right to come into the confederacy with or
without slavery. just us the people may de-
termine. What do our fusion brethren think
of such doctrinesl They almost worshiped
Mr.. Benton last summer. We think that he
is getting sensible again, and he may in his
old age, yet, do good service in the cause Of
democracy. 4tg s,t.5,.1

"OId Bullion" on Bnnking.

No man in this country has entertained
more enlightened views on the subject of
banking, or advocated them with more con-
sistency and ability than Thomas H. Ben
ton. His speeches during the United States
Bank controversy, did more than anything,
except the energetic action of "Old Hicko-
ry" himself, to decide the contest; and much
may be found in them applicable to the pres
ent condition of monetary affairs, especially
to the question of the suppression of small
notes, which is now much discussed through
out the country. In regard to the issue of
small notes he says: @
"The evil ofsmall notes may be classed un-
der three heads: !. The Punishment of gold
and silver. Q. Encouragement to coun ter
feiting. 8. Throwing the burdens and loss
es of the paper system upon the loborng
part of the community, who have no share
in the profits of banking, and should not be
made to bear its losses.
"The instinct of banks to sink their cir
culatioD to the lowest denomination of notes
which canbe forced upon the community is
trait in the system universally proved to
exist wherever banks of circulation have
been permitted to give a currency to q conn
try and the effect Of that instinct has always
been to Danish gold and silver. When the
Bank of England was chartered, in the year
1894, lit could issue no notes less than
Gl0G sterling; that amount was gradually
reduced by the persevering efforts of the
bank to ESQ; then to EGO; then to ELS;
then to fl0; at last to f5; and finally tc
f2 and FL.
These last denominations were not reach
ed until the year 1897, or until one hundred
and three years after the institution of the
bank; and as the several reductions in the
size of the notes, and the consequent in
crease Of paper currency took place, golt
became more and more scarce; and with the
issue Of the one and two pound notes, i
totally disappeared from the country. s.
i 3'"This effect was foretold by all politica
economists, and especially by Mr.. Burke
J, then aged and retiring from public life, wht
wrote from his retreat to Mr.. Canning, Il
say to Mr. PITT, The Prime Minister, thes,
prophetic words: s.If this bill for one ant
! two pounds is ispermitted to pass, we shal
|, never see another guinea in England. TIL,
Il bill did pass, and the prediction was fulfill
J. ed; for not anotherj guinea, or sovereign wal
4 seen In England, for circulation, until til,
q bill was repealed two and twenty years af
4 terwards. After remaining nearly quarteI
