The Desperate Strait Of MIR. Tilden.

The Desperate Strait Of Mr. Ttlden.
A Washington correspondent of the Chi.
cage Inter Ocean writes:
A gentleman associated with large rail-
road interests, and who, while not politi-
clan, is IN the confidence of prominent Dem
ocrats in New York. is in this city. and
states that he has the best reasons for think
ing that Governor Tilden will not allow the
Presidency to be taken by Hayes without q
struggle. He says that one Of Tilden's ire.
auently reiterated remarks OF late is that 1t
is his last chance, and he intends to stake
his all upon that chance. He has no family
to provide for, no heirs for whom his for.
tune need be boarded, and no ambition but
to be President. His immense fortune,
amounting to several millions, is at the dis.
posai of his party, and every cent Of it will
be sacrificed to secure what he terms 1.-THE

| place, and he has been studying up law and
precedent on the subject. This gentleman
will obey Tilden's orders to the letter, and
that Tiiden intends extreme measures in
case he is not counted in. The idea has 90
| taken possession of him that he is actually
| q moncmaniac on the subject and can con
verse on no other topic In addition to this
he says Tiiten is drinking very hard. aud
can not last long at the rate he is now liv
ing. He predicts, so intent is T.lden upoI

THEY ARE WELL LOCATED. ~ Several
days ago Montgomery paper informed US
that the police of that little city had cap
tured two bad men, John Snapper, alias
Schoefer, and johnson, alias Alexander
who had been arrested for stealing two fine
watches, one from q sojourner in this city
and one who happened to be in Mobile. The
watches were recovered and restored to
their owners, after which the rogues were
tried and convicted. The Montgomery
Judge has placed them on Alsbama's retired
list for seven years each. Both rascalf
ranged around this city about a month ago
and put in little work, but our police
chased them up 80 continually that thej
felt constrained to seek another CLINE.

Conversational Usurpation.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Whence does tho present House of Rep
rase natives of Congress get it's power to
investigate the election in Louisiana! The
constitution gives to each branch of Con
gress-the Senate and the House-the
right to Judge and decide upon the election
and qualification of it's own members, but
no power to Judge and decide as 20 the
election Of the ipemhsrs Of a future Cor
gress, and any attempt of this kind is
usurpation. And the constitution, by Civ.
ing this pc yer to each house, excludes all
other power over elections under the long
settled legal doctrine that the grant of
determinate power excludes all Others, and
the attempt of committee Of the House
to investigate any other election than that
of one of its own members, especially any
attempt to investigate presidential cleo
ton, is q usurpation that should be resisted
at all hazards. Ii this thing is permitted
the present House will fix the status of the
next House, and that will fix the status Of
lis successor, and the liberties Of the conn
try will be as completely swallowed up by
o congressional oligarchy as those Of an
cient Rome were by its Senate. Let this
usurpation be resisted. and successfully re-
sisted-by force, il necessary.

LICENSE, OR No LIcENsE.-A squad OF
colored longshoremen visited the City Hall
yesterday to inform Mayor Pilsbury that .
number of the irregular contractors on the
levee habitually avoid paying license, which
they think is ono cause Of the recent tEou'
bles. The delegation requested that the
authorities hereafter remind these irrespon-
sible men that they must comply with the
law. 1t is not quite clear how license will
nrevent the contractors rom cheating the
laborers. Mayor Pilsbury promised the
longshoremen that their complaint would

LINCOLN, n EB, July ..

Allow former citizen of Wheeling
space in your paper to give a brief sketch
OF one of the most beautiful cities in the
West.
Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraska,
has good people and is representative
western city. 1t has four railways,
many fine public buildings, two daily
papers, Globe and Journal, and more ell
ergy and brass than any point on the hab
liable globe. like it, and so does every
one.
Just now the State is agitsted politi-
cally. An election for Governor is held
in September, and few months later the
Legislature will choose United States
Senator and State Printer. These
offices are important, inasmucL as they
are worth MS least $50, 900 each
For the Senatorship Hon. Christ.
Briggs, OF Omaha, seems to have the in
side track, and Tor State Printer, Hon. L.
T. Hedges, editor of the Globe, and FORM
erly II citizen of West Liberty, Ohio
county, w. Va, Is an sspirant, and will
doubtless secure the prize. 1t is worth
having.
Nebraska is filling up rapidly with a
good class of people, and the State has
surely glorious prospect ahead of her.
