! To the Honorable Speaker and Members OF the

Your Committee on Immigration. which

! repeating the act of March 8. 1869. beg leave
| to report as follows:
In their opinion it is not advisable to en-
| tirely abolish the Bureau of Immigration
! inasmuch as large port like New Orleans,
can not afford to be without an institution
of this kind. They, however, recognize that
the present statute, creating said bureau, is
defective in many of IT'S details, and ohjec
| tiOnable in this, that it imposes tax with
! out giving perceptible equivalent for the
| same. Your committee will, therefore, re-
| commend that the former act be repealed
and that, at the same time, another act be
passed by your honorable body, effectually
reorganlzing the said bureau. For this
purpose they have agreed on a substitute
for said House bill No 2Sf, including there
in the repeal of the former act, and the re
establishment of Bureau Of Immigration
| on more just and equitable basis. doing
away, at the same time, with such featurel
Of the former law as seem to have beer
most Objectionable. Your committee re-

GONE CRAZY.
. Prominent San Francisco
Liquor Merchant on His Way
to New York Becomes.
Insane.

Wednesday morning a telegram
was received by Deputy Sheriff
Hanlon to come to Elkhorn, on the
Union Pacific railroad, and take
charge of a crazy traveller.
The mans name is William Beal,
a prominent liquor merchant of San
Francisco, OH his way to New York
on business. He left home perfect
ly sound in mind, but upon nearing
the Eastern end of the Union
Pacific railroad, he showed signs of
approaching insanity, and upon
reaching Elkhorn station he became
entirely insane. He threw his
money, $50, out of the car window,
jumped from the platform, and
cut up many curious antics.
Sheriff Hanlon, who had
put in an appearance in answer to
the conductors telegram, took
charge of him, brought him to
Omaha, and lodged him in jail.
The unfortunate individual is a fine
appearing gentleman. Judging
from his rawlings he has become in
sane from broOding over the subject
of the liquor traffic, and the evilsit
entails upon mankind. He is con-
stantly praying to God to forgive
him for his crimes, and for having
caused so much intOxication. The
sad information of his case has been
sent to his friends i'm California.
Omaha daily bee., 1874-05-29
An Impertinent Thief.

A man that will steal will lie, and
Judge Lake even goes farther by
declaring that a thief will never
hesitate about perjury to explain
away his theft. So much as to the
reliability of the statement Of the
discharged apprentice Ellsworth
Miller, who publishes a mess of
malicious falsehoods touching his
connection and discharge from this
office. The facts of the case are
briefly as follows: This young
scamp was employed at the Herald
office until the printers' strike at six
dollars per week. He foined
the strikers, but when starvation
stared him in the face he
applied lat the BEE office for en-
ployment. He was employed in
the news room at $500 per week
during the first week, and at the
end of that period, his pay was ad-
vanced to $500, and a few weeks
later to $3.50. His thieyish predi-
Lotions soon manifested themselves
by disclosing to the Union certain
TENS gathered by our local editor,
and causing their publication i'm
that sheet prior TO their appearance
i'm the BEE. He also made it a
practice to ransack the editorial
room i'm the absence of the editor,
for the purpose of pilfering ex-
changes for the Union.
This he virtually confessed when
accused last Saturday by acknOwl-
edging that he furnished papers
from time to time to "Kelley," one
of the thirteen honest (?) and OPP
pressed Union publishers. One sim
gle incident will illustrate Miller's
character. About ten days ago a
full-grown bird strayed into the BEE
counting-room and was captured by
the book-keeper. Mr.. Rosewater
placed the bird into a little covered
basket with a view of presenting it
to his children. He locked
his room, and returning in
about an hour found the bird dead.
Subsequently he learned that
Ellsworth Miller had forcibly en-
tered the room and tossed the bird
about i'm the basket till he was dead.
Miller's story about his pay is as
false as is the declaration that the
Union exchange lists exceed that of
the BEE, else why would Kelley
wat those papers? His pay has
ALWAYS ben prompt, and Mr..
Stearns, who dischars,+Ad him, SIM
ply desired this impertinent yo~h
to stand back q few minutes until
he paid off the other employees of
the news room. We should not
have given this matter SO much
space had not the virtuous and
honest publ hers of the Union seen
fit to make an injured hero out of
a rascally and heartless scallawag.

ARE THE PEOPLE OF OMAHA
STINGY7
Mrs. Van Colt Emphatically
Says They are.
The Small Amounts of the Con-
tributions are not Satisfac.
tory to Her.

A religious BEE reporter wandered
into the Van Colt tent last night,
for the purpose of listening to the
eloquent revivalist, and of picking
up some notes of interest. The
tent was pretty well crowded, while
a large number of men were seated
or standing on the outskirts, or
leaning upon the fence. People OF
all classes were here gathered, and
certainly the spiritual seed fell into
many varieties of soil.
During the course of her ramb-
ling exhortations Mrs. Van Colt
took occasion to pitch into 'pro-
fessd Christians" who attend wOr-
ship at some house of God tonight,
and tomorrow night they are at
some ball, theatre, or other place of
devil-doing.
Mrs. Van Colt thinks the people
of Omaha are stingy. She stated
that on Monday night the collection
amounted to only 50, and on We'd
nesday, to but 500 or $500. In
the matter of contributions, "deal
with u.s." she said, 'just as you
would like to be dealt by. Give us
a respectable collection. 1t ought
to be $50 or $40 every night" She
related how, in a little town of Vir-
ginia, of only $50 inhabitants, the
collection amounted to $50, $40, or
$50 in gold or silver every night,
which led the reporter to mentally
remark, that the Virginians must
have discovered some mines, and
become well heeled. She wanted
the people of Omaha to follow suit.
"Brother," exclaimed she, "take
the collection, and don't be in such
a jumping hurry. Don't pass them
by with a sleepy eye"
The brothers activity didn't suit
Mrs. Van Colt, which caused her to
remark, Hyou act just as if you
didn't expect the people to give any
thing"
While the collection was being
taken, a hymn was sung, probably
not quite loud enough, for Mrs. Van
Colt, at its conclusion, said, "they
told us last night that they heard us
sing three miles away, now let them
hear us seventeen miles away. Hal
lelujah."
Another hymn was sung, while
the contribution box was passed
around the second time.
az pray God for you to be liberal.
You are too stingy. That IS the
reason you do not get converted"
said Mrs. Van Colt, incidentally.
~ do despise meanness. l am glad
1 am not mean. You will never be
converted till you are more liberal.
1 pray God to give you a more lib
eral spirit. Who will say amen to
that 2"
"Amen ~ exclaimed a score or
more of voices,
After the majority Of the crowd
had dispersed, we understand hat
Mrs. Van Colt attacked the various
ministers for not taking a greater
interest in the revival, which was
not as great a uccess as she had eX-
pected. She threatened, if it did
not prove more successful, to depart
from Omaha at once, and leave it
to be damned.

"Sandy" will Probably Escape
Hanging.

The notorious "Sandy," alias
George Melville, formerly of Oma-
ha, who has been confined in the
Denver prison for some time past,
on the charge of murder, will pro-
baby escape hanging, judging from
the following, taken from the Rocky
Mountain News, of the 10Th:
George Melville, who killed Mac
Fagg, Of Kit Carson, last January,
was taken to Los Animas last Sat-
urday to have his trial, which takes
place this month. Every witness
is out Of the county, and cannot be
found, so his chances are good for
escaping the halter.
