GOVERNOR NICHOLAS, POSITION.

1t is stated by Governor Nichols, or
at least so reported by telegraph. that
he has no sympathy with the prosecu-
ton of the Returning Board. and that
he ought not to be held responsible for
it. This is probably true, as it is said
to have been a part of the bargain"
made by Southern Democrats with
Hayes friends. that in consideration of
the withdrawal of troops from Louisi-
ana. there should be no prosecution for
1t is also stated that only Bourbon
Democrats and straight Republicans of
the Oonkling stripe seem to favor the
investigation of the acts of the Return
ing Board by the courts, and this state
ment appears to be well founded.
Hayes Republicans and chivalric Demo-
Gratis, of the Lamar and Hill kind, are
opposed to prosecuting Wells and An
derson. That an Administration which
claims to be IN favor of thorough re-
form, not only in the Government, but
IN the manag ment OF party affairs,
should oppose an investigation for the
purpose of determining to what extent,
if any, the returns of State election
had been tampered with, seems
little Inconsistent. IF the Returning
Board has not been guilty ofthe ofenses
charged against it, the present trial must
result in the acquittal of its members.
AID clear them from the imputation OF
having altered the returns and cheated
the majority out of their just rights.
Ii. on the contrary, 1t proves that they
have been guilty as charged. surely a
reform Administration clnnot do other
wise than approve the verdict and COM
mend the men who were instrumental
In prosecuting and Furnishing the Of
lenders. 1t seems to be in very bad
taste for would be model Republicans
aud Democrats, who are everlastingly
clamoring for reform in politics, to OBJ
ject to the prosecution of men who
stand accused before the world, of sub.
vertiog the will of the people, aud
making the elective franchise a farce
and mockery. by changing returns to
suit themselves regardless of the popu.
lar majority. The Returning Board
members are being defended by able
counsel, and tried by jury composed
of equal numbers of men of both
parties. and every good citizen should
rejoice that there is now an opportu
nifty of ascertaining the truth of the al
legged fraudulent count in Louisiana.

Russiafs Objection as to the Com
ference.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb, o.
Russia rejects the proposal to hold
the Conference in Vienna, or any otner
great capital. 1t considers the tran
quillity of small town IN one OF the
minor States, and the authority that
would be given to the deliberations by
the presence of foreign Ministers OF the
Powers, necessary for insurlng
good and practical result. More
over, Russia believed this would
facilitate speedy diposal by the
Conference of the important questions
it would have to deal with in the inter
ests of lasting peace and OF humanity.
England Making Every Possible
Preparation for War.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.
The Times London special says:
However pacific matters may be on the
surface, it is certain that England Is
arming and making every possible
preparation for war. The force at Wool
wich Arsenal is more than doubled.
and enormous quantities of supplies
are being transferred to the docks and
loaded on ships with great rapidlty.
The Conservative members assert that
the crisis in the Oriental situation is
yet to be reached, aud there is
an Imminent possibility that the
area of the war may be vastly
extended. Russia Is concentrating
a force of 200, 600 men in Roumelia,
and the reserves are being organized on
colossal scale. 1t is thought that If
Russia means peace she would not con-
time such extended preparations. 1t
IS known that Denmark and Sweden
are both as rapidly as possible lncreas-
Ing their armaments. and placing
themselves on war footing. 1t is
feared that there may be some under
standing between Russia, Germany and
Italy, whose purpose is believed to be
hostile to English interests and the
peace of Europe. 1t Is Certain that the
approaching conference will be one of
armed and suspicious Powers. The
outlook Is anything but reassuriDg and
satisfactory.

A MONOPOLisT IN DISGUISE.

W. B. Taylor, of the Tybo Sun. in
response TO. the query "Who will head
the Democratic, Republican and Work
ingmen's s tickets for Governor in this
State next fall?" says: George w.
Cassidy, of the Eureka Sentinel, is the
most available and most deserving of
the position on the Democratic side;
Christopher g. Powuing of the Reno
Journal, vii! be the strongest man in
the Republican Convention. He is
young, untainted with anything like
political trickery, and is fitted by
nature and education to fill any posi-.
ton from president of a base bali club to
Governor OF great State" Modesty
and sincere respect for the feelings of
other candidates prevents Mr.. Taylor
from naming the man that ought to be
nominated on the Workingmen's s ticket;
but if the Office seeks the man. MIR.
Taylor will not decline the honor. The
Sun has professed. to, be opposed 10
monopoies; yet here it is monopolzing
sll the nominations for Governor, and
parceling them ont to newspaper men.
How can the Workinsmen's Eparty,
which is the avowed enemy of grabbing
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT approve of such
conduct or endorse such, action.
We fear that this reply of Mr.. Taylor's.
which shows him to ba u monopolist in
disguise. will save him the trouble of
writing letter of acceptance as the
Workingmen's candidate fer Gov
srpor.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.
The Tribune's Washington special
says: The Commissioned of Indian
Affairs has completed his bill providing
for the organization of an Iudian police
on the various Indian reservations. He
will ask for $50, 900 to begin the expe-

enrolment of the most trusted tribes as

EASTERN DISPATCHES


WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.
Davis of Illinois said there was an
immense meeting of citizens of Chicago
on the 18th Of December last to give ex-
preston to an opinion on the silver
bill. Upwards of 5000 persons attend
ed the meeting, and every sentiment ut
tered favoring the provisions of the bill
now before the Senate met with an en-
thusiastic response. BY some over
sight the proceedings of the meeting,
which were intended tor presentation
to Congress, were not sent here until
now. He then quoted from the pre-
amble and resolutions adopted, which
favor the reconciliation of silver, and
declare that the Government cannot
waive its right to pay bonds in silver
or gold. Laid on the table.
the bill now being before the Senate,
Davis said the accompanying proceed
ings in the Senate were extracts from
the speech of Sherman in the Senate,
january 27, 1869. and also from
speeches OF Webster and Clay, which
the petitioners desired him to have
read at the Clerk s desk; bat as he un-
derstood such "a course would be vio-
lation of the rules, be would not ask for
the reading of the extracts.
The Senate bill 10 remit the taxes on
insolvent savings banks Was called up
by Davis of llnnols, aud discussed un-
til the expiration of the morning hour,
when consideration of the silver bill
was resumed, and Thurman spoke IN

tory of all the property of the road, and
that it was open TO the INSPECTION of anyone
who intended TO bid. He gave notice to-
those who had not tried to look at it that

at one jump of 100000, which remained
the bid for about a quarter Of a minute,

six million dollars. The auctioneer dwelt
upon this amount for about one minute,

the opera House Last Night.
The fourth entertainment Of the series I'M
der the management Of Mrs. Brady, took
place at the Opera House last night, and W as
attended by very fine audiencs-consider-
ably larger than usual. The program COM
menced with a piano solo by Prof Harris,
which was executed In the Professors best
style, and was received by the audience with
hearty round of applause.
Then came a soprano 500 "Come into the
Garden, Maud"-fsultlessly rendered by Mrs.
A. ID. Jackson. This lady is one of the most
accomplished soprano singers in the State,
and her effort last night was one Of the best.
For compast and sweetness of voice she has
no superiors, and but few eQuas among the
many good singers Of Leavenworth, and the
hearty and prolonged applause that greeted
her last night showed that her audience fully
appreciated her.
Next came a violin solo by Prof. Abbott, of
the 2Sd Infantry band, which was also excel.
lent, and was received by the audience with
a hearty encore.
Following this came the lecturer, Mr.. Bur-
dette, who was introduced by Hon. Alex.
Caldwell, in a few very happy and well chos-
en- remarks. Mr.. Burdette's lecture occupied
about an hour and q half In its delivery, and
was replete with humor and pathos, wit and
sense-a choice mixture, most fully appreci-
ated. Mr.. Burdette himself Is great "how,e"
man, and he is perfectly adequate to the oc-
casion when he has that subject In hand. 1t
is to be regretted thst he had not q larger su-
dience, As he is acknowledged 70 be one Of the
leading humorists OF the day, and In that pc
