The Leadville Craze.

The Denver Tribune gives the fol-
lowing timely warning 10 those who
propose TO 60 to the new Eldorado
with a view of becoming suddedly
rich:
"It is the duty of every newspaper
in Colorado 10 warn moneyless peo.
pie from going to LeadvilIe. The in.
terest of the State demand it. All the
land around Leadville for mines has
been staked out and prospected, and a
man without money has no cpportu-
nifty Of finding anything in the mines
or in the city. This Spring there will
be heavy immigration to Colorado,
and a large fraction of it will sgO to
Leadville. Many of these newcomers
will ouly have money enough to take
them there, and when they reach the
Eldorado they will find that, to them,

BOSTON is Democratic city, and
Georgia is Democratic State, and the
accursed corruption and extravaganza
of Democratic rule have so wrought
upon tine credit of these unhappy COM
munities that they are now the only
two bodies polite in the country, ex-
clusively of the United States, which
can float 4 per cent. loans at par. The
rascally public officials of Georgia, to
conceal their nefarious schemes and
the exhausted condition of the public
treasury, have even adopted the mis-
erable subterfuge of paying their OBJ.
legations before they fall due. Such
are the fatal results of overthrOwing
the government OF the carpet bagger,
by the carpet-bagger and for the car
pet-bagger, and substituting in its
place system which has no nobler
aim than making both ends meet

Nebraska Correspondence.
HASTINGS, NEB. March S, 1879.

BY telegraph you are long ere this
informed that the grand jury has found
a bill of Indictment against Olive and
eight of his inhuman gang, for murder
in the first degree, and that the hear
ing of the case has been continued un-
til the 31st of March. The pious peo-
pie of the East may rest assured that
if the evidence justifies the conviction
the infamous crew will play game of
"ups and downs" at the end of q
rope, and their bar'l of money cannot
save them. I shall probably remain
here until after the trial, and the
PRESS shall at the earliest possible mo-
ment receive the details.
Over one hundred houses are in pro-
cess of erection in this city at the pres
ent time, and its prospects are as bright
to-day as any town in Nebraska I have
visited.
L have met but one Portage County
man here, whose name have forgot
ten, he is q connection of the Smith
boys in Ravenna, is doing a good bus
iness here, and has been very kind to
your correspondent.
The weather has been very disagree
able for some time past, owing to sud-
den changes; pleasant one day, the
next cold with piercing wind. Farm

Our learned neighbor of the Repub-
lican thinks the people Of Ohio can af-
ford to pay from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year in each county for the sake of
having a County School Superintend-
ent therin merely to let the teachers
know that their work Is subject to
scrutiny any day by competent judge
to whom they are largely responsible.
But it might happen that In many of
the 88 counties this Superintendent,
elected on account of his political SEN
timents, might not be SO very compe-
tent a judge after all. Besides, if the
present boards of education and par
ents manifest the proper interest in
the education of the youth of the State
which they should, the work of the
teachers is as much under the scrutiny
of competent men as it would be un-
der the plan proposed; for if the peo-
pie do not manifest the proper inter-
est now neither would they concern
themselves about securing thorough
ly competent person for the position.
1t cannot fail to be manifest to every
one that it is not among the possibili-
ties of any man, however we'll quail
fed by education and experience, to
discharge the arduous duties required
Of such position to be OF any great
benefit to the schools under his charge
1t is nonsense to claim that the Super
intendent of schools in county like
Portage, scattered over five hundred
square miles of territory, could devote
the same attention to them as can and
does the Superintendent of the schools
Of the city of Cleveland. The fact
can't fail to be manifest that the city
official would be able to bestow a.
much attention every week to the
schools under his charge as would tho
county officer to the 100 under his in
the whole year. Ifthe people and their
Boards of Education will not look af-
ter the schools in their several locali-
ties then, how can it be expected that
they will always take such an interest
as to secure competent persons to dis
charge the responsible duties of this
position?

EUROPEAN immigrants bring much

IT is asserted that Hayes will veto
any appropriation bill that may be
passed at the extra session of Congress
containing provisions for repeating the
test oath and Supervisors of election
law, and the law allowing the use Of
Federal military at the polls. If he
should execute that threat he would
thereby be deprived of the privilege
of longer drawing Mr.. Tilden's salary.

Our limited space will not admit OF
our publishing the telegraphic abstract
of the report of the Potter Committee,
but we give the following summary OF
proven facts with which the ma
jority Report concludes:
Finally we conclude: First-That
due effect was not given to the vote oi
the electors appointed by the State OF
Florida at the Presidential election oil
1876. by reason Of j lse and fraudulent
returns for the sa:d electors by the
Canvassing Board of that State, here
by the choice of the people Of that
State was annulled and reversed, and
that the action of the Board of State
Canvassers in making the returns was
countenanced and encouraged by,
among others, the Hon. Edward F.
Noyes, who has since been appointed
the Minister for this country to France.
Second-That due effect was not
given TO the vote Of the electors ap-
pointed by the State of Louisiana at the
Presidential election OF 1876, by reason
OF the false and fraudulent action of the
Returning Board of that State, where
by the choice Of the people of that
State was annulled and reversed; and
that the action of the Returning Board
was countenanced and encouraged by,
among others, ihs Hon. John Sherman
who has since been appointed Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Third-That a conspiracy existed in
the State of Louisiana whereby the
Republican vote in all the precincts OF
the parish of East Feliciana, and in
some of the precincts of West Felici.
ana, at the general election in Novem.
ber, 1876, was purposely withheld
from the polls to afford a pretext for
the exclusion by the Returning Board
for that State of the votes cast in those
precincts for electors for President
and Vice-President.
Fourth-That two OF the signatures
to the second certificate of the elector-
al vote of the State of Louisiana re-
turned to Congress and referred to the
Electoral Commission were forged !;
and that William Pitt Kellogg, then
Governor of that State, and now q
Senator of the United States, and II.
Conquest Clarke, his private secretary,
now a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, were privy to such forgery.
Fjfth-Tbat Samuel j. Tilden and
Thomas A. Hendricks were, and
Rutherford B. Hayes and William A.
Wheeler were not, the real choice OF q
majority of the electors duly appoint
ed by the several States and Of the
persons who exercised and were en-.
titled to the right of suffrage at the
last general election in the United
States.

The Radical leaders insist that the

The Radical leaders insist that the
rebellion is not yet suppressed bat
that the Confederacy still exists. If
that is a fact is it not about time for
the leaders of that party to cease boast
ing about their having put down the
rebellion and preserved the Union
And if after nearly fourteen years
since the surrender OF the Confeder-
ate armies the spirit of the rebellion
is still rampant, as they assert, is it not
best to try some other means than
those adopted by the Radical rulers to
bring about peace and harmony be-

The Republican leaders denounce
attaching the amendments repeating
the despotic election laws to the ap.
preparation bills as outrageous. Per-
haps they have forgotten the fact that
it was by just such means that these
laws found their way upon the stat
ute books.

Hayes has issued his proclamation
conveniug Congress in ex ra session
on the 18th of this month, next THes-
day. This extra session was rendered
necessary by the refusal of the Repub-
lican Senate to consent to the repeal of
the law allowing the appointment of
Supervisors of Elections and the law
which permitted the use of federal
bayonets at the polls. Amendments
for the repeal of these obnoxious and
despotic acts which the Republicans
have employed to perpetuate their
power in the government were attach
ed by the House to the Legislative,
judiciary and Executive and the Mill
tary Appropriation bills. Both branch
es of Congress adhered to their posi-
ton and the Legislative, Judiciary,
Executive aud Military departments of
the Government are without any law
by which to draw pay for their SER
vices. This action of the House re-
ceives the universal approval of the
Democracy. AS is well said by CO.
temporary cit was necessary and
patriotic, and was demanded by the
public at large, besides being required
to place our institutions once more
upon the broad plane of universal
democracy. Eor the past eighteen
years free suffrage has been practically
hol fhro,,~h hn orhitroru ond
despotic measures adopted in the ear
ly stages of the war and ever since
maintained by the Republican party.
In every part of the country the mill
tary power has usurped supremacy
over the civil officers, and has been
maintained in it's supremacy by Con-
results of elections have been dictated
by military commanders, aud where
they have been absent federal super
visors have lowered about, invested
with the power to arrest and practic-
ally TO convict any person who should
vote counter to their wishes. To abol.
ish these obnoxious laws and to re-
store our government TO its primitive
condition was manifestly a duty that
devolved upon the Democrats of the
House that has just closed, and if that
was foand impracticable, then to place
tho question where it could the soonest
be reached and disposed of in accord
ance with their wishes. This they
thought they could best do by forcing
an extra session. With this decision
the country will very generally scaui-
esce.'
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1879-03-13

ISN'T Mr.. Hayes a little too soon in
trying to intimidate the next Congress
by threatening veto of any appro-
priation bill that may have attached to
it q provision repeating the odious
election laws? 1t will be time for him
to consider and act upon measures
submitted to him when Congress shall
have passed them.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN is Governor
of New Jersey. He had fifteen Judges
to nominate and in spirit Of nom
partlsanism he nominated eleven Re
publicans and four Democrats. The
Senate, which is Republican, in char
acteristic spirit of narrow-minded par
tisenism confirmed all the Republicans
and rejected the Democrats. And yet
the leaders charge the Democrats with
being the only partisans in the country.

THE National Greenback managers
at Washington express great conf
dence in holding the balance of power
in the next House and claim that they
will be able to control the organiza.

the election of any one for speaker un-
less he gives in his adhesion TO their
organization. They claim to have fif-
teen members certain to vote with
them. and from that all the way to
forty probably.

WHEN the Democrats insist upon
fair trials by jury, non-lnterference Of
the army with elecrione, and the alb.
sence of Federal Supervisors and Mar
shals at the polls to control and cor
rupt voters. the Radical politicians set
up their insane howl about dishonest
elections. Let it be remembered that
these things are the inventions of
modern Republication, and were new
or known or countenanced by the ear
ly fathers Of the Republic.

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandrllff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and max
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
