Occasional writes from Washington

1t is stated that the present consul to

has written to his friends here that he
cannot live on the salary of his office,
and pay all necessary expenses. This was
predicted when he left.
Gov. Wise Will pay 4 visit to Pennsyl-
vania in a week or two. The people will
welcome him.
The Cabinet and a number of official
and semi-oficial guests started this NOR
ming, on board the steam revenue cutter
Harriet Lane" intending to 60 as far
as Norfolk, Virginia. A gay company
they were, and they doubtless enjoyed
themselves hugely.

Daring Robbery.

We learn by several gentlemen who
came up from Archer on Tuesday last,
that a most daring robbery was commit
ted on the road from this city to Archer,
on Monday last. The name of the per-
son robbed we were unable 10 learn; but
were informed that he was on his way
from Otoe City, Otoe County, to Topeka
Kansas, and when within a few miles of
Archer, was overtaken, just after noon
by three ruffians, who seized and beat
him in a terrible manner and robbed him
Of SSl6 in money, a gold watch, and a
revolver.
The gentleman robbed thinks he saw
n Of the men in Otoe before he left.
The scamps undoubtedly knew he had
money in his possession, and followed him.
1t is to be hoped the ~scoundrels may be
arrested and summarily dealt with, as
we have no prisons in which to confne
such.
There are a lot Of thieves and muir
derers in this portion of the Territory,
providing around who will find a ropes end
yet. They are undoubtedly some of
those who have infested Kansas for two
or three years past.

Death OF Gen. Ouitman.

Speaking of the death of General
Quitman, the National IntelIigencer says:
Gen. QuIIman was about sixty years
of age, and a native of New York. He
migrated at an early age to Mississippi,
where he became a planter, and in point
zeal life one Of the most distinguished
men of the State. In 1867 he vol
unteered for the Mexican war and was
appointed by President Polk a Major
General. In this capacity he was prom
Inetly engaged in most or all of the san
culinary action which Immediately pre-
coded the capture of the Mexican capt.
tai, of which on its surrender he was
made Governor. He was sent 10 Con-
gTesS in 1855, and reelected in ISL
Though a devoted follower of Mr.. Cal.
houn during the lifetime of that distin-
guished statesman, and in Congress re-
garded as belonging to the ultra division
of Southern political feeling, his person
al characteristics won for him from all
parties an estimation hardly equaIled, GER
tainly not surpassed, by that of any
member of the House.
A mans standing in the House Of
Representatives, among his brother MEM
berS, Is ont Of the severest, as it IS one
of the surest tests Of character, and the
standing and influence of Gen. Quitman
with all parties in that body was the high
est proof of his personal merit.

A Mine of Paint.

Hugh White, of Liberty, Bedford CO.,
Virginia, has discovered upon his estate a
paint bank. 1t is n Of the most extern
sive bodies of decomposed ochrous iron
ores in the world. This paint is easily
pulverized, contains no foreign impuri-
ties, and is entirely pure from clay. 1t
has all the properties of umber. In col
or it varies from a light yellow to Z dark
brown. The small or loose lumber, is
the lightest when taken from the bank.
Simply mixed with oil, it will make a
hard, smooth face, durable as a fire-proOf
paint for railroad cars, bridges, buildings,
sc. The deposit is near the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad and it waSdiS-
covered by the rains having washed
away the earth and exposed it on the side

Richardson and Pawnee we gave last
week. The popular vote for Councilman,
says the RUlO Guide, was Dundy 252,
Mcdonald 1872. There was some infor-

which caused the vote not to be counted
by the ~canvassers, and the certificate was
given Mcdonald. The seat will be con-
tested.

from when we went to press last week,

Missions to France and England.

Jon Of the Baltimore Sun, whose sa-
gacity and knowledge are proverbial,
says:
General Dix's name has been men,
toned for France, bat that mission is to
go to Louisiana, without doubt. 1t fol-
lows that the London mission must 90 to
New York. Letters from influential men
in that State present urgent reasons for
the appointment Of Judge Roosevelt. He
is fitted for the post by reason of his
large fortune, conciliatory department,
and excellent good sense. The intimate
and important commercial relations be-
tween New York and England would
seem 10 require that the minister of the
United States should be selected from
New York, if no political obstacles be
interposed to prevent it. In this case,
political reasons strongly favor the selec-

reject or accept the Constition as provi-

Last year the vote in Nemaha and
Richardson counties was more exciting
and important-being for delegate to
Congressman consequently more full
than this year. In Otoe and Douglas the
vote was pretty full both last year and
this, as this year in those two counties
party lines were drawn and the contest
warm. We are confident we have 500
voters in Nemaha county; we can count
in this precinct alone, 25 who were abb
sent, sick, OF did not vote at all.
This comparison shows an important
fact, viz: that south of the Platte all the
counties, Notwithstanding the pressure Of
the times, which has prevented emigra-
ton to a great extent, has advanced stead
lily and beautifully, while north of the
Platte there is a decrease in each county
