The school house is to be built on

There is some talk of an effort to
form q combination of those who are
opposed to Matthews, Chandler and
Robertson, with view to defeating
all three. Nothing can yet be learned
respecting the probability of the
success of such an effort or of the
strength of such combination, should
it be formed. The opposition to
Mathews is said to spring from doubts
of his fitness for the office, and is
therefore not partisan. The opposi-
tion to Robertson is entirely because
Conkling does not like "the manner,
in which the appointment was made.
1t is perfectly plain that if such a
trade should be made and should be
successful, the only parties who
would reap any benefit would be the
Democratic party and Senator Conk.

will think twice before they join s

Communicated.

Stutsman county should have a
larger and better ventilated jail
than the present pen, which now
contains six prisoners. The room
which they now occupy is eight
feet by twelve, and here, with not
ventilation enough for one person,
they eat, drink and sleep. In this
room, or pen, are two cots, each of
which will accommodate one per-
son; the dungeon, a hole which is
ventilated from the hall way, ac-
commodities one more, and the bal
ance take the soft side of the floor
and cover themselves with single
blanket. It should be remembered
that this is not southern prison
pen, or a states prison, but jail
where the occupants are detained
for trial, and the men now occupy
ing the place may be liberated at
the next term Of court. This thing
should be remedied at once, and not
alloy wed to exist in civilized coun-
try.

Affairs in Lima Growing Worse-A Pro-
vtsional Government Being Organized.
LIMA, March 10.-Poverty increases from
day to day. There is daily dealt out to poor
families and INDECENT persons in Lima in pro-
visions double the amount required to feed the
; troops contained in the city
Pierola is in JANA where he has been iSsu-
ing DEGREES with laudable diligence. The
Chilians will hold no intercourse with him.
Senior Garcia Calderon is now provisional
president ond is occupied in organizing a gov
eminent.
A war of races has broken out in the valley
of Canete where more than 1000 Cinnamon
have been murdered by the negroes and
Chalos. On one plantation 600 inoffensive
men were murdered in cold blood. All the
cane fields, sugar houses, machinery, ETC.,
have been burned and destroyed, and property
to the value of millions has been wrecked by
these miscreants. All the foreigners have fled
the valley which is one of the most fertile and
productive in Peru. Some of them have been
killed. Full particulars are not yet at hand as
the work of murder and plumber is still going
on. 1t is feared that the adjacent valley of
Chinchica will suffer next. The Chilians re-
fuse to send troops ia quell the disturbance.
Mr.. Henry Swayne is heavy loser. A num-
Der of women and children sought refuge on
board Of couple of vessels which were at
anchor at Carrasul, and Swayne has chartered
the steamer lilo and sent her to that port to
bring the refugees to Callao. 1t is feared SIM
liar scenes will be enacted throughout Peru.
A list of fifty property owners has been is
sued by the Chilians, from each of whom they
demand war contribution of 10000 hard dol
lars. The CHILEAN government has determin-
ed to collect thus million per month for the
expenses Of the army. The fifty gentlemen
named have held a meeting, at which some of
them declared they would not pay. As the
penalty for non-payment is the destruction of
property worth three times the amount of the
contribution few of them will fail to comply
with the contribution. The houses of those
who have not paid by the 18th will be destroy
ed, it is said, on that day.

Mr.. Beecher Astonishes His Flock.
Rev Henry Ward Beecher created sensa-
ton in his church yesterday by the following
statement: There came to me,'' he said, ga
member of my own church, the mother of a
young woman, who said that her daughter had
become fascinated with the Roman Catholic
worship and wanted to unite with that church
said to her, Tell your child to wait one year
until her own mind and judgment are settled
and il at the end of that time she shall find
that she is drawn nearer to God and to heaven
through that church, let her come to me and
will take her by the hand and lead her to the
door, AT the end of the year she was still
anxious to enter that church, and sat down
and wrote letter to an honored Catholic pas
tor of this city, and said, This lamb has found
greener pastures in your fields than in mine.
She joined the Catholic church, and is today
happy Christian girl in that communion"

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judgment Against Miles, the Nor
mon, Set Aside.
A HINT WHICH CONGRESS SHOULD
TAKE.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Decsion was rem
dered by the Supreme Court of the United
States today in the Mormon case of John
Miles against the United States, brought here
by an appeal from the Supreme Court of Utah.
Miles was indicted for bigamy in the third dis
trict court of Utah at Salt Lake City and adj
judged guilty. Miles thereupon applied to
the Supreme Court of the Territory, where
the Judgment of the District Court was affirm
ed He now appeals to this court upon the fol-
lowing assignments of error
First, That adherents to the Mormon faith
were unlawfully excluded from the jury.
Second, That the declaration of Miles was
admitted as proof of his first marriage.
Third, That the testimony of the alleged
second wife was admitted to prove the mar
riage of Miles to wife No. 1.
The court holds first that the exclusion of
Mormons from the jury was proper because
men believing polygamy divine institution
could not be free from bias in the trial of a
eaadmdh% si1t no error In 'a adm ahs
ting the declarations of Miles to prove the first
marriage; third, that the court did err in ad-
uniting Miles second wife to testify to the
first marriage, as by the laws of Utah wife
cannot testify against her husband, and until
the first marriage was proved the second wife
was prinad Jacie lawful wife. The court sug-
gests that many of the difficulties of convicting
polygamists in Utah would be removed if Con-
gress should make the wife lawful witness
against her husband. The court sets the YER
dict aside and grants new trial

GOING TO STICK.
The Republicans Decide to Continue the
Contest in the Senate.

The Republicans Decide to Continue the
Contest in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Republican
senators in caucus this morning decided to
continue their efforts to procure the passage of
the pending resolution for the immediate cleo
ton of senate officers by adhering persistently
10 the policy and programme heretofore pur-
sued.
This determination was reached after an ex-
haustive interchange of views and by vote
which is said to have been substantially unan-
imous. The caucus discussed the suggested
expediency of allowing the deadlock to be
broken from time to time by executive sessions
for the confirmation of uncontested nominal
tions, but it was decided that at least for the
present this course would be unadvisable. The
only other matter touched upon was the long
continued delay in transporting the remains Of
the late Senator Carpenter to Wisconsin and
it was agreed on all hands that members on
the senate committee appointed for this pur-
pose should make immediate arrangements
for pairing and proceed to perform their mis-
sion. fi44
The arguments set forth in the caucus as
reasons for indefinite maintenance by the Re-
pubiicans Of their present position were in
substance as follows:
First-That the question involved in the
Democratic opposition to the pending resolu-
tions is whether majority or minority of the
Senate shall control its action; that for the
majority to suCcumb to the minority now in
the matter OF the cnOce OF OflcerS would SIM
ply pave the way for submission to the minor
ity in matters of greater Importance hereafter,
and that as there is no legislative business to
be transacted at this session, and no injury is
likely to result to public interests from delay
in confirming nominations to offices already
filled, the present is the best time to meet the
issue above indicated and to maintain the
principle that the will of the majority must
prevail
Second-That the election of the candidates
placed in nomination by the majority Gnclud-
ing Riddeberger of Va) must be insisted up
on as means OF sustaining and promoting
the alliance of Republicans and Independent
Democrats in Virginia aud other Southern
States in opposition to the Bourbon Demo-
Gratis.
1t was agreed that the issue whether or not
the Republicans of the senate will support the
alleged movement in Virginia for Gree bal
lot and lair count" had been Joined by the
nomination of Riddleberger and that 10 aban-
don his proposed election would be prejudicial
20 the success of the movement in the fall
campaign and greatly diminish the prospec. of
its future spread through other portions of
the 'solid south"
The New York nominations were not re-
ferred to at the meeting to-day and it was
noticeable that the policy of delaying the
transaction of sexecutive business until after
the election of senate officers shall have been
accomplished was advocated by various sena-
tors who hold distinctively opposite views in
regard 10 the propriety of confirming these
and other contested cases.

A Specimen story.

BALTIMORE, April A letter from the edi-
tor of the Liverpool Drovers Journal says the
steamer Manitoba arrived there last week from
Baltimore with over 200 cattle, mostly bulls,
from districts affected with the foot and mouth
disease. The Sun says the Manitoba sailed
from Portland, Me-, March 9th, and on arrival
at Liverpool reported two cattle and one sheep
lost on the voyage. The Manitoba never took
cargo from Baltimore and never was in that
port.
