COL. COBB'S SPEECH.

We make the following extract from Col
Cobb's speech, As published in the "Coagres-
siosal Record of the 18th ui,., as showing ITS
cope and spirit:
"Rut, Mr.. Speaker, let me say that the
man Who, sitting in his satin slippers in silk

tell the gentlemen, mean business. They are
scattered all over the valleys and hill sides Of
the Mississippi. They are the movable force
oftwenty million people. Agains, their cry
for fair play and justice, it is foolish for You
to array the Philadelphia or any other plat
form. They will have Justice, inside the
Republican party If they can; out

tsrmined that the winters fre which
warns their wives and babes shall be fed by
other than corn hereafter. As their own
strong arms and brave hearts carried the
dag Of their country in the face of the brav-
est Of FOES to the gulf and left the waters o!
their great river unyexed from its source to

Rome Is not tho only city which has

stir up old Venice than it took to stir up

from Venice gives an interesting &C.
count of the changes that arc in pro-
gress there. Vast basins have been con-
structed for the largest yessals, which
are brought close to the cars. so that
their csrgoes can be discharged and inn

At late hour Saturday night shooting
ARRAY, which will result fatally, took place
in West Hoboken, near the extreme north
ern limit of Jersey City. The persons con-
cerned we're John Kennedy. an unmarried
man. 25 years old, and a widow named Mrs.
A. Toner, both Of whom reside on jersey
City Heights. Mrs. Toner, has been a Wild
on for little more than a year, and for the
past three or four months Kennedy has been
having devoted attention to her. 1t was ru-
mored that they were engaged to be married.
About 10 O'Clock Saturday night Kennedy
and Mrs. Toner went out walking, and pro-
ceeded towards West Hoboken. On reach
ine West street, in the latter township they
stopped in front Of a house occupied by Mr..
Quisley, and room their voices were heard in
srery alteration. From the little that
could be gathered of their conversation it
appeared that Kennedy accused the lady of
being unfaithful to him, which 30 angered
her that she finally drew q revolver from the
bosom of her drees, and, pointing it at her
commanders head, fired. As soon as she
had discharged the weapon, she disappeared
in the darkness, before the arrival Of
the crowd, which soon collected, attract
ed BY the noise of the explosion. Kennedy
vas found lying senseless on the s:dexalk,
With the pouring from wound in his face.
He vas carried to the residence Of DR.. Rau,

Last week the New York Tribune publish
ed facetious editorial article, advertising
for Sos. political party in which it as
sumed thst the Republican party was 80
badly demoralized and disorganizsd that the

In reply the New York Commercial Adssr.
User makes these forcible observations:
"One year has now passed since Presiden,
Grant entered upon his second term. Is
there any reason to believe that he or the
Republican party is less strong to-day than
a year ago, or than q: the era of good feeling
which followed the election OF 1872? In
Philadelphia, the opposition consolidated
against the Administration, and came to
grief. In the case of the Boston Collector
ship, there was another contest and the
President won. The petty handful Of NAL
contents who went out in 1872, have no
reinforcemen,s in the Senate, and, indeed,
are weaker and less numerous than on the
third of last March. Most of them would

WICHITA AGENCY, I. T., Mach 3. 1874.
Mr.. r. Armstrong has just reached this
sgency from his surveying field with bad
news for surveyors. On the 18th ult., one
of his men, named Adam. Ashenmaschsr.
vas shot in the back, BY Kiowa, with .
needle gun, and died Immediately. So far
"a appears or is known, no Provocation was
given, nor is any special cause given for this
barbarous act. Mr.. Armstrong reports that
latterly his men have submitted to many
insults and outrages of various kinds; but
for the sake Of completing their work, have
been very careful to avoid retaliation or any
cause for offence. Now the whole Arm
strong outfit is coming in to this sgency on
their way to their homes, portion having
already arrived. This is very unfortunate
from business point Of view, for two weeks
more work would have completed their ex-
tensive contract, the portion left undone
being ia the extreme northwest portion, the
most remote from all posts and agencies, and
difficult Of access fcr completion, at any time
hereafter. Mr.. Assenmacher was an inof.
fensive man. formerly resident of Nemaha
county, at or near Seneca, and the deep
damnation of his taking of has caused q
feeling that can only be appreciated BY those
who take their lives in their hands and 60

world ever saw.

force having scattered, north, south and eaet,

UNION PACIFIC.

Advices from Washington etate that the
Pacific Railroad Committee of the House Of
Representatives have invited the Govern.
ment Directors OF the road to appear before
them for the purpose OF furnishing informa.
ton - to the Government interest in the
rosd. and.to ascertain what their opinion il
about the chances Of the Government being
reimbursed for the outlay it has made in be-
half of the road.
While the Committee are endeavoring to
fed out the chances of reimbursement to the
Government, they should Inquire into the
conduct of the road, and see if measures
can be enforced to make the company pay
some regard to the interests Of shippers not
on the line of the road.
