JEFF DAVIS.

1t was great pity that our Govern
ment caught Jefferson Davis in his
flight to the seaboard. We should
have helped him out of the country,
and supplied him with all the boats he
needed to carry himself and his plum
der anywhere, so long as it was away
from our shores. He might have still
been wandering in some foreign land,
disguised as an old woman, and might
have taken from the South, by the
force of attraction, some of the kind
red spirits of both sexes that hover
around him like foolish gnats around
an expired candle. BY his capture
the world lost reconstructed granny
and we gained an elephant. If some
of our boys, when they got their hands
on the old traitor, had practically
illustrated that song
"woll hang JEFF. Davis to sour apple
treer'
the sudden taking off would have had
good effect on the public peace. But
the hand of retributive justice was
stayed. By the action of Greeley
and other sentimental grannies, he be.
came martyr; was bearded at the
public expense for about two years,
and but for his hatred of Yankee
greenbacks, we doubt not he would
have entered suit against Uncle Sam
long since to obtain heavy damages
/ for defamation of character and false
Imprisonment. By the capture of Sur
ratt we robbed the Papal government
of poor soldier, and restored fugi-
tive from justice to the status of o eli.
izen. By catching Davis, we prevent
ed an old woman from Travelling un.
der an assumed name, and inflicted
upon the South q greater injury than
the war itself Davis appears to us
/ like the ghost of the defunct Confeder-
acy. just when the people forget his
evil work, he walks into their midst
aud frightens everybody from the la
Dor Of rebuilding what he tore down.
The men of the South know him pret-
ty we'll; they remember his ignomi-
nious flight from Richmond when Lee
was fighting like lion to protect it;
his naughty, overbearing nature, when
in authority, and his craven spirit
when captive; and they are about
disgusted with him and his antecedents.
But the women like him, for some rea-
son or probably because he
tried to pass for one when he fled and
knowing this, the arch traitor goes
about with his blarney, inducing the
women to train their children to hate
the Federal Government, and when
they grow to manhood to fight against
it if the opportunity offers. We hear
Of him in Southern schools. at fairs,
legislatures-anywhere and everywhere
he can get word in for the lost cause.
His last appearance was before gath
ering of ex-rebel officers, styling them
selves "The Southern Historical Socie-
ty," at Montgomery White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia. This last speech is
little better than treason itself, and if
his words have any effect, they have
done incalculable mischief to the pros
perty of the South. 1t is about time
for Davis to subside. The South has
paid dearly enough for his advice, and
the sooner they give him free pass
to Spain or France, or some other
place where busybodies and agitators
are wanted the better it will be for the
peace and prosperity of the whole

THE CLIMATE or NERAsKA.

When certain wits were abusing the
English climate, Charles the Second
declared there was none better in Eu.
rope, because nowhere could one COM
fortably be outdoors more hours in
the day and more days in the year.
The Nebraska climate is not inferior
to the English 1t has colder DAYS
and hotter days, but of those days
which John Bull calls "nasty," it has
not one fourth as many as John grum-
6les at all his life long, unless they
drive him to suicide or emigration.
The mean annual temperature at
Fort Kearney is 470 z as appears by
government observations. That Of
Chicago is one degree colder 46o z,
But Fort Kearney il more than q.
600 feet above the sea-level and must
be much colder than the southeastern
portions. In these the mean tempera-
ture is $40. A weather record made
last winter at Plymouth, coloDy on
the Burlington and Missouri River
railroad, shows the maximum of cold
to have been 160 below, and that only
once, January 28th; the mercury fell
below zero on only twelve days, and
on only two days stood below zero at
noon. ~
The April storm was fatal to men
and beasts, but only TO those men who
were caught far from shelter, and to
those cattle which had long been only
half fed or worn out by hard driving.
Cattle that were in good heart wealth
cred it, though not under cover. The
cold was not great, nor did snow cover
the ground, Men digging through
drifts in railroad cuts saw farmers
plowing at the same time. A dozen
movers turned eastward. These were
an eddy, but the stream still held on
its course westward The ferryman's S
book at Nebraska city shows the names
of 1873 men who crossed there within
II days after the fifth of May, each in
his wagon and seeking a Nebraska
home. PROF j. ID. BUTLER.

I VIcE-PREsrDENT CoLrAx AGAIN.-Vice.
President COlfax has escaped formal i'm
peachnent, but, as we said last week, lie
stands impcacl,ed before the American peo.
pie and forever disgraced. We had thought
throug d this public officer and our trusted
servant, had been reached but if the follow
ing. from Washington dispatch to the New
York World, is true, he and we (througl
him) have sunk still lower:
''lt will he remembered that in his very
latest explanation he insisted that George f.
Nesbitt, of New York, had given him the
81 900 at odd times iu the Summer of 1868
AS voluntary contributions, out of friendship,
though a total stranger, and that all the
favor that was ever returned was few
tickets to the Inauguration ceremonies in the
Spring of 1869. Now it has just come to
light, from the official records of the Post
office Department that Mr.. Colfax was he
attorney and lobbyist of Nesbtt, and that he
filed an argument in reply to one made by
The Attorney-General, for the extension OF
the stamped envelop contract then in the
hands of the very same Mr.. Nesbitt. 1t is
there indorsed as submitted by him.
The history of the transaction is simply
this: When Postmasier-General Randall
retired from the Department, he allowed this
contract to continue without advertising for
competition. When PostmasterGeneral
CressweIl came in, he thought this was ir-
regular, and called on the Attorney-General
Tor an opinion, which was sOou forthcoming,
and adverse to Mr. Randalls course. 1t
was to this that Mr.. Colfax filed reply
and on this Nesbi.t's contract was allowed 10
run until some time after, when bids were
invited.
In order that no injustice may be done Mr..
Colfax, it should be stated that while the
twenty pages Of arguments in Nesbitt's be-
half are not in his handwriting, his letter
ndorsing it and transmitting it is there. 1t
may have been copied for him, or it may
have come from Nesbiit's lawyer, but Mr.
Cofax alone appears on the record as max
ing the appeal for Ncsbitt in violation of the
act of 1862, making such an offense from
the Vice President or Senator or member
