His Wifo.


His Wifc.
Maj. Azar II. Nickerson, by his solicitor,
Col Enoch Totten, yesterday filed his answer
to the suit for divorce instituted against him
by Emma G. Derby Nickcrson. The answer
is very voluminous one. He admits his
marriage as set forth by complainant, but
denies that she was either kind or faithful to
him. He alleges that she bestowed her af-
fections on another person, and denies that
he, desired petitioner to go TO
Europe lie also denies that COM
plainant and himself lived together
as man and wife up to the time of her depar-
ture for Europe and that Miss Carter and
himself ever lived together as man and wife
previous to their marriage OF subsequent TO
the setting aside Of the divorce; alleges inn
proper acts on the part of complainant ON
various occasions. and says that while living
in Omaha in, 1873 ho returned to his house
unexpectedly one night between 10 and ii
O'Clock, and noticed that though there was
light in the front parlor there did not seem
to be any one in there. On goihg upstairs ho
glanced through the doorway and saw man
rush quickly from the back parlor into the
front, and seating himself abruptly at the
drop light, commenced reading. Immediately
after Mrs. Nickerson camo from the back
parlor, On speaking TO her aftcrward she
attempted to Justify herself by saying that
she had been teaching the gentleman to waltz
This affair led to such unpleasant relations
that she took their little daughter and went
TO California The answer finally alleges
that, in order to avoid close military arrest,
he obtained permission of the secretary Of
war to leave the limits Of the United States;
that since then and now he is at Harold,
Ontario, Canada. The answer is sworn to be-
fore the United States consular agent at st.

Judge WyIIe's Decision ana the Commits
sioners' Letter.
Yesterday in tho criminal court, in the case
Of John Alberts, charged with keeping an un-
licensed bar, Mr.. Darlington, counsel for Al
berts, raised tho same point that was raised
on Wednesday in the Donuelly case, regard
ing the district authorities accepting 500 de-
posit on application for liquor license, and
then in case of rejection dcduoting pro rata
aud at tho same time prosecuting for want of
license. Judge Wylie said that after
reflection he was satisfied that tho
proper construction of tho condition
stamped upon tho receipt given for
the deposit money was that pending the ap-
plicaton for tho license, the applicant was at
liberty to proceed to sell, and might so con-
tinue until his money was refunded. He
would not say he thought IL proper con-
dition. 1t was q temporary license to sell
until the money was refunded. In reference
to tho advertised notice of the commissioners
that they would retain the deposit money to
meet any fines that might be imposed, he
thought they had no such power to retain.
In reference to this decision the commits
sioners addressed letter TO tho assistant dis
trict attorney yesterday morning saying that
the conditions stamped on the receipt to
James d. Donelly, dated Oct 49, 1882 for re-
ceipt Of liquor license foe, ceased to be used
by the commissioners OH Dec. 1, 1882, and
that conseqently the ruling of the criminal
court in that case does not apply to any re-
ceipts issued by the commissioners subse-
quent to that date.

senator Pomeroy ndorses MIR. Blaine's
Letter.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 30.-You have allowed
me to read in your paper of yesterday the
very sensible article from Mr. Blaine in favor
of continuing the tax on spirituous and malt
liquors, and of distributing the same among
the several states. VIII you allow me line
to suggest an addition to his measure in
this, that the distribution shall be made
solely on the condition that the states appro-
pirate the same for public education or in aid
of their school funds. This liquor money,
whether obtained by tax or otherwise, has the
smell of blood about it, yet it would sweeten
and sanctify it somewhat to have the same an
nually devoted to free public schools. So
say, by all means, continue the tax on both
whisky and tobacco, provided the proceeds
can be devoted to useful learning. This
would make permanent and reliable school
fund for the several states, and be some COM
pensation for the public burdens IT imposes.
Run up your flag, inscribing proceeds of
liquor and tobacco school fund for states ~
This distinctive measure will be good
beginning and have far-reachng result.
/ have the pleasure of being constant
reader of your paper, and always
Yours truly, s. Y. PoMERoY,

be seen by reference to the editorial in this

respectively 2 and 8 years-and then cut her

A ThouRhtfuI Paper on Southern SYM
pathy and Its Results.

To The Editor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Those people in
south who were participants in the late re-
bellion against the government found numer-
GUS friends in the north who were ready to
forgive them Immediately upon the sur
render of Gen. Lee, and each succeeding
year has increased this list of sympathizers
until fully one-half of the entire north had
announced their utter adherence to any
reference to the bloody shirt or kuklux klans.
This sympathy almost assumed the form of
admiration, and when the excitement of re-
construction had abated every demand made
by the south to the general government was at
once granted. The obnoxious carpet-bag rulers
were relegated to private life, and every op-
portunity given to each state to build up its
own fortunes that were SO completely shat
tered by the war.
Northern capitalists were ready to invest
their money in railroads, factories, and mines,
and the latest statistics show that in the ma
jority of the eleven states that the value of
this class of enterprise has more than doubled
in the last ten years.
This prosperity gave the northern people
hopes that the south had accepted the situa-
tion in earnest, and were ready to yield obe-
dience to the laws as laid down by the con-
stitution and the congress Of the United
States. In his first message to congress Pres
ident Arthur contrary to all his predeces-
sors since the rebellion) ignored the words
north and south, thereby showing most de-
cided disposition on his part to fill up the last
ditch of the bloody chasm. Each of the
southern states was controlled by his politi-
cal enemies, and in many instances to show
the magnanimity of his forgiving power he
has appointed some Of them to the most lu-
crative offices.
And what is the result. Men are still be.
ing murdered in the south because of their
political opinions, the colored voter is intim-
idated and driven from the polls with
shotguns and other means Of violence,
and the people of the north are once
more fully convinced by facts of the total
insincerity of all the promises made by
southerners, when men are permitted to
murder their fellow men and 60 unpublished.
The "bloody chasm must again be opened,
and remain so indefinitely. Northern demo-
cratic papers could have aided their cause by
denouncing instead of denying the facts.
The campaign of 1854 has began and ended
in favor Of the republican party. II. b.
