an increase over the preceding year of 9lO,-
SIS barrels. This steady increase in the
consumption of fermented liquors, spread
ing at the rate of almost i million barrels
a year, in spite of all the fanatical temper

by bands Of praying women, encouraged
and fostered by the National Temperance

Never seen-she Backs Out and He
Proves 20 be n Mail RObber.
A Young lady arrived in Omaha, Neb., a
few days ago, and registered her name at
the Wyoming Hotel as Edith Hayland, of
New York City. Concerning her, the
Omaha Republican tells singular story,
as follows: @She came here for the pur-
pose of marrying Mr. Bruce Adams, of
Wyoming Territory, they having struck up
an acquaintance by means of notice in an
Eastern weekly newspaper, which was fol-
lowed by correspondence and a promise
of marriage. They had never met each
other face to face, and all they knew of
each other was from the correspondence
that had taken place between them. Rather
dangerous that She found it so. When
she met Mr.. Adams at the Wyoming, she
stated frankly to him that she was disap-
pointed in him, and she refused to marry
him. She said she did not like the looks
of his face. Miss Haylard showed to us
Yesterday her wedding outfit. She was well
and amply provided with all articles that
bride would need. Her dresses were very
nice, and some of them were quite elegant.
We noticed handsome toilet case in her
trunk with solid gold trimmings. The
Young lady is a pleasant, fair looking girl.
She evidently belongs TO good family who
are in comfortable circumstances. While
she did not show good sense in contracting
to marry man whom she had never seen,
and whom she had known but 4 few weeks,
and then by correspondence only, yet she
did act the wise part in drawing
out when she met the man and found
that she was disappointed in him. Now
comes the SEQUEL, which is as strange as the
foregoing story. The United States Mar
Shall heard that Bruce Adams was in the
CITY, and it so happened that the United
States peace officers here had orders to ar
rest Bruce Adams, who had been indicted
in the United States District Court in Iowa
for robbing a Post-Ofice in Vinton, Iowa,
in 1871. Adams was arrested on Farnham
street on Tuesday evening by Deputy Mar
shall Bierbower, and is now in Jail here.
The United States Marshal is expected here
to-day from Iowa to take him east for trial.

The substance Of this canard was

where it would do the most good
toward securing the passage of the
Civil Rights bill.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-06-04

The silence that has now shrouded
the civil rights bill for two DAYS is
ominous. As our dispatches left the
matter, it is on the Speakers table;
but Ben Butler is a desperate parlia-
mentarian. In virtue of a House resp
luton passed some time ago, instruct
ing the Committee on Judiciary to re-
port what legislation, if any, is neces-
sary to further protect negro
citizens, we believe that Butler,
as chairman, has the right to
report such bill at any
time. If he cannot get a two thirds
vote to suspend the rules and go to the
Speakers table, he may take a notion
to report the Senate bill as an original
House bill, and send it back to the
Senate for re-enactment. This was
the parliamentary dodge by which the
adjournment resolution was rushed
through about week ago.

WHEN Congress convened, over six
months ago, Two questions of supreme
and far-reaching importance were
pressing on it for speedy solutiun-the
currency and cheap transportation.
| We are now within three weeks of the
date set for adjournment, and nothing
has been settled on either question, un-
less 1t be a growing conviction that
Congress will do nothing on either, and
that it is better even so. In regard 10
the currency, the universal expectation
that Congress would do something, and
the utter uncertainty of what its ac-
ton might be, have demoralized the
Industries of the country, as
well as its commerce. The dis
cussion of the railroad and transporta-
ton question has only served to
uncover its multiplied complications
and difficulties, the one great principle
eliminated being that natural routes
are cheaper than artifcial-water ways
cheaper than railways. Even confirming
national aid to rivers and canals, the
debate in the Senate yesterday shows
that vast, national system of inter-
nal Improvements should not be inaug-
urated without further elaboration.
Most of the States have had unpleasant
experiences with internal improve
ments and the Federal Government has
been swindled by Credit Mobilier rail.
