Nebraska is a solid Republican State.
There are. it Is true, few Democrats living
within its limits, but none of these have ever
been elected to any Office. Nebraska can
safely be taken as a representative Of Repub-
Iican rule and the protection it affords to life
and property. 1t is, therefore, Win regret
that we notice the fact that the NeoraskailS
are numbering and lynching people up there
to an unlimited extent. The last month
record puts the State OF Nebraska at the
head of the criminal list, despite its small
population. Some OF these murders are
not pleasant to read about. Thus. for
instance, we are told that two men

SURPRISING REVELATIONS

We clip the following account of an in
teresting interview between Hon. Eli Per-
kins and Hon. Simon Cameron, from the
New York Sun:
HARRIsBURG, Dec. I'm a long talk with
Senator Simon Cameron to-day in his grand
old residence on the banks of the Susque-
hanna. l commenced by asking him what
he thought of Mr.. Hayes new departure.
f" What departure ?" asked the Senator,
as he looked quizzically from under a pair
of scroggy, Seward-like eyebrows.
why, his departure from the Southern
pacifcatory policy, which he has carried out
since his Inauguration, and his return to
Grants rigid manner of governing the
South" | replied.
4" | don't take any stock in Hayes at all,
sir" replied the Senator, sternly. 81 dis
like him so that l wouldn't speak to him.
He went back on his friends-the men who
made him, Hayes says Grants policy was
a failure. It's no such a thing, Grants
policy put Hayes in the White House, while
Hayes's stupid policy has lost every South
ern State to the Republican party"
" Can Hayes be a candidate again? 2"
asked.
"No, sir. Hayes is dead lie went over
to the rebels. He killed Chamberlain, a
soldier and Republican, and put that rebel
Wade Hampton, who SHOT my brother
James through the heart, in his place"
" Did Wade Hampton personally kill your
brother, Senator ?" asked.
" Yes, sirl | have the evidence unim'
peachable that Wade Hampton, who cap
tured Col. Cameron, my brother, took a ear
bine, while my brother was a prisoner un'
armed, took deliberate aim and shot him
dead. And this rascal" continued the Sen,
alor, "this rascal Hampton, Hayes went and
made Governor of South Carolina. Mr.. +
Norman Gunnison, the editor of the Horb
Eueaiag Record, saw Hampton shooting
brother James. Didn't you, Mr., Gunnisong
asked the Senator, turning to Mr. g., who
was present
" Yes. Senator" replied Mr.. Guunison
81 among others, saw Wade Hampton Kill
Col. Cameron. And after Hampton fired,
saw them carry the iileless body of the Col
onel into the farm house near the church"
Changing the subject, | asked Senator
Cameron what he thought about Grautt
candidacy.

The funeral of T. IL. Powers Of
Philadelphia was attended, the I'd inst,
by the one hundred women and the
three hundred men in the employ of his
firm. A watch will be kept on his
grave to thwart any attempt that may
be made by grave robbers. Two men
will watch by night and two by day,
the orders of Mrs. Powers being that
their vigil shall not cease for two years.
TO the tombstone will be attached key
to a watch locked in case that the men
will carry. This watch must have the
key at the grave inserted into it every
half hour, and will be inspected twice
day to see that it has been carried to
the grave at frequent intervals,

Senator Bruce, Of Mississippi, who
recently returned from Europe, while
at Paris met General Grant, with whom
he had frequent interviews. In speak
ing OF bis conversations with General
Grant, Senator Bruce, a few pays ago,
said "We had several conversations
touching political affairs in the United
States. l called his attention to the
popular feeling looking to his renomi.
nation for the Presidency. IcannOt re-
call the precise language used in reply,
but he left the impression upon me that
he felt really happy In the freedom from
official care which had come with the
close of his Presidential service, and
that he was content with the honors
that had already been conferred upon
him by his countrymen, 1 do not be-
lieve that the Presidency is either a
matter of personal desire or anxiety
with General Grant, yet ia general de
hduu lOl hio SCI NlCCo 6llOulu Db tApItSo'
ed by the American people, and the
matter should be presented in the light
Of duty TO the country, l have no doubt
he would accept the domination. u
"What is your opinion as to Grant:

asked the correspondent. THE foul
names most familiar to the colored peo
pie of the South among all our publ,
men are those of Lincoln, Sumner, Nor
ton and Grant. The most ignorant
voter in that section knows these men,
and owe their political freedom aud per
sonal rights largely to their influence ant
efforts. Unless public sentiment ha
undergone great change during th
last four months, General Grant woult
be the first choice for the Presidency o
nine tenths of the coiored voters of tn

Senator Mcdonald, (Dem,, Ind, }
has been giving some of his views to a
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
mereial. lie does not think that the
money question will be the leading one
in 1880, but that both parties (the Dem
Ocratic and Republican, will declare in
favor of a specie basis; so far as there
may be any difference between them, il
will be in regard to continuing the ma.
tiOnal banking system. He said; "As
o Democrat ] ever looked upon such
mOneyed institutions a5 national banks
existing under the authority of the fed
eral government, as dangerous engines
of political power, and DO not feel Will
ing to see the system perpetuated for
any supposed advantage that may spring
from 1t In addition to this the perpet,
uatiOu of the national banking system,
as we now have it, renders it necessary
to have perpetual national debt" He
looks On the course of the New York
banks about silver deposits as "uncall-
ed for and injudici0as in the extreme, -
and he thinks that "silver shond be
given fair chance. and the question
OF how much we can maintain, as wei
as of its ultimate relation to gold, should
be left TO work Itself OHt by practiea
experiment"

necessary improvements were complet-
