Railroad Extensions.

Hon. Alexander Mitchell, Of Mil
waukee, in conversation with a reporter
of the Chicago Tribune, Monday, stated
tn at as soon as the frost leaves the
ground, the main Iowa division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 4 St Paul Rail-
way will be extended thirty miles west
Of the present. terminus, Patterson.
This extension will carry the line
across the James River to the Vermil
lion. He said it had not yet been
fully determined to what point on the
Sioux River the road shall be Goa.
structed. While these thirty miles
are being constructed, a conclusion
will be reached whether the much
sought-for connection with Yankton
will be smade, or a crossing of the
Missouri River shall be effected at a
point considerably west sand north Of
Yank,op. Mr. Mitchell added: "It is
quite possible that we may build to
Yankton This can be done ty lay
ing track forty-fve miles long in a
soutswesterly direction from the point
that will be reached by the extension
ofthirty miles already concluded upon
Mr.. Mitchell also stated that the
Hastings & Dakota Road will be extend
ed this season to Big Lake, the ex-
treme limit of the charter grant an
additional distance of seventy-miles
northwest. The full length of the
Hastings & DAKOTA Branch or Divl-
sion, when thus completed, will be
between ESQ and 26O miles.
Concerning probable extension of
the Iowa connections of the Western
Union Railway, southwesterly from
Cedar Rapids to Ottumwa, where the
SE. Paul Company owns an interest 10
extensive coal mines, with Kansas
City as the ultimate objective point
Mr. Mitchell informed the reporter
that he did not think anythlng would
be done this year in that direction.
The St. Paul Company Southern
Iowa feeders of the Western Union
Road were the means Of furnishing
the latter line with lucrative business.
Without these feeders, the Western
Union could not keep its head above
water. The existing difficulty 10 re-
lation to the default in the payment
Of interest on the coupons Of Western
Union bonds held by foreign capitalists
does not in any way effect the lines
connecting with the Western Union
from points west Of the Mississippi,
aud therefore will not influence the
St. Paul Company in determining
when the work Of extension southwest
ward from Cedar Rapids shall begin.
The Chicago, Milwaukee y st. Paul
Company are fully alive TO the impor-
tance of this line, and it will no doubt
be completed to Kansas City within
three years, at the latest -Waaison

CONSPIRACY AND MURDER ~

CONSPIRACY AND MURDER
LEBANON, Pa, February l2-The
court room was crowded to overhowing
to-day, as it was known that Peters,
son of Drews, one of the alleged princi-
pals in the insurance murder, would tell
of the conspiracy of murder. The wis-
ness said that, shortly before the mur-
der, Brandt came to him and offered
him 5000 to enter into the conspiracy.
He refused, but did not dare to tell of
the plot for fear of being killed. Oa
December 7, 1878, witness saw Drews
Raber, and Stechler 60 to creek Ga
arriving there, Stechler jumped into
the water, pulling in Raber alter him,
and then it took the combined strength
of two men to hold their victim under
water. The two men afterward came
over to Drews' house, from which wit
ness saw the whole murder, and Drews
gave his companions dry clothes An
insurance agent testified that Hummei,
Brandt and Zechman came to him On
December Ii to make out the proof Of
Raber's death. The policies amount
ing to $4,000 A brother of the de-
ceased testified that Brandt came to
him and offered him 800 to kill old
Raber. The plan was to have the VIC
tim thrown toto the water, and witt
ness was to jump in and hold him un-
der water, afterwards swearing that he
tried to save him. A Coroner testified
that Brandt tried to bribe him Judge
Henderson remanded the prisoner TO
Jail for trial at the April session.

Since it has been shown that more than fifty
per cent. of this years cotton crop is the pro-
duction of white labor, opposition to the colored
exodus in the south has ceased, according to the
newspapers OF that section. The Jackson Miss.
Clarion states that planter ordered out his
teams and hauled to the depot, some miles dis
tant, free of charge, number OF his colored en-
ployeS who wanted to go to Kansas. The
Clarion adds:-"The disposition among the
white people OF Mississippi OF all avocations, is
to throw no obstacles in the way OF the emigra-
ton of the colored people If they desire to go.
Indeed a wish is expressed in many circles that
the movement may become general, because
they look upon 1t as the best solution of the Sec
tional and race issues which have so much dis
turbed the peace of the country"

The District Com missionershiI

1t Is stated that the present inclination OF the
President is to appoint General Halbert K.
Paine, now Commissioner OF Patents, to be Dis
tr1ct Commissioner In place OF Captain Phelps,
resigned. 1t is stated further that Mr.. Paine
does not want the District Commi5sionership,
and that the Secretary OF the Interior does not
want him to take it. Under these circumstances
It would perhaps be better for the Presi-
dent not to drag an unwilling man
into the Office unless he Is sure that
there Is very strong desire on the part Of the
people OF the District for his appointment. Gen.
Paine, 1t Is asserted by those who know him, Is
an estimable gentleman and capable Govern
ment officer. 5ut we suppose 1t will not be
claimed for moment that he is the sort OF
representative business citizen the people Of the
District have asked for In the District Commits
sion. Congress, In prescribing that the Com
missioners should be residents of the District,
quite certainly did not intend that the mere fact
Of holding Office in Washington as the agent Of
the Government should make qualification
for the position. The intention of Congress
was to require that the Commissioners should
be well-known citizens, thoroughly Identified
with the interests of the District. The inten-
ton was TO obviate the complaint that the peo-
pie of the District had virtually no representa-
ton in their government, though heavily taxed
for its support. This was the argument made
against Ihe letenIioh vi captain IhSlpS vi Vic
board. Though he has large property interests in
Washington, 1t was objected that he was vir-
tually stranger to the mass Of the citizens,
having different Affiliations and sympathies,
and that he could not put himself In their
place." so to speak. For the same reasons, Gen.
Paine would doubtless fail to fill the public
demand in regard to Commissioner. He would
assume thankless and laborious position at
best, under the adverse circumstances above
indicated of lacking the public endorsement.
This he might earn in time but the chances are
that he would fare no better in this way than
his predecessors.

still stronger old friends. Indeed, 1t wouldn't
make bad foundation for Bayard boom.

The Danvi1le Ua-) Post, a staunch democratic
paper, hints at possible support of Grant by
the southern democrats. 1t says that unless the
democratic party is thoroughly organized in
every state it Is useless to fight for the Presi-
dency next year, and concludes as follows: ''We
(the democrats) should fight to win or not fight
at all-at least the South should do so-for we
have been fiddlng for special politicians too long
for nothing to venture such a hopeless battle
again. We would rather have Grant and elect
him ourselves. than any named competitor on
the republican side. But we confidently believe
We can elect a democratic statesman, If our
party will have discretion enough to nominate
the proper ticket In July next"

Since the organization Of the national repub-
ncan party in Pittsburg in February, 1856, its
conventions for nomination of Presidential
tickets have been held as follows: On the 18th
OF June, 1856, In Philadelphia, when Fremont
and Dayton were nominated; on May 10th, 1860,
in Chicago. when Lincoln and Hamlin became
the standard bearers; on June I, 1864, in Balti-
more, when Lincoln was renominated, and An
drew johnson received the second place; on
May 81, ISIS, In Chicago, when Grant and Colfax
were named; on June 5, 1872, in Philadelphia,
when Grant was renominated, and Henry VIII
son was assigned the second place; and on June
Is, 1916, In Cincinnati, when Hayes and Wheeler
were chosen. Though there has been no rule
upon the matter OF location the custom OF alter
mating between the east and west in holding
conventions has been observed. Should this be
followed next year the convention must come
east and 1t Is probable In that event that either
New York or Philadelphia would be selected.
The Indianapolis republicans are making efforts
TO have that city selected, on the ground that
the presence OF the convention and nomination
OF the ticket there would so enthuse the party
IN the state as TO give 1t an impetus that would
result In carrying its vote for the republicans.

The rivalry between leading cities for the
honor OF entertaining the national conventions
next summer is becoming spirited. The Pitts
purgh Commercial Gazette, In vigorous Ian
guage, protests against the selection OF Cincin-
nau as the place for holding the republican

The democratic papers of Virginia have some
fears that the division upon the debt question
may be carried into political matters to the
danger OF party supremacy in the state. They
are urging democratic members Of the leglsla-

tons relating to politics Meantime, as between
