WE surrender q largo amount OF space
various documents to which no makes
allusion therein. 1t will always be ac-
counted one Of the odd incidents Of his
tory that controversy should spring up
long after the close of the great rebellion
between two such prominent actors in its
memorable scenes as Gen. Sherman and
Jefferson Davis, especially since the dis
cussion goes to tho question of tho loyalty
of Davis to the confederacy, of which ho
was president. Out Of such controversies
matter Of great value to the historian Of
the future comes TO the surface. Con.
Sherman wields sharp pen, and has au
orderly logical way Of presenting evil
dence to fortify his views that tells
in this case. The outcome of tho
matter is to establish pretty clearly that
Davis was not only conspirator against
the union before tho war, but also seri
ously contemplated dangerous invasion
of the liberties Of the confederate states
during the war. 1t is unfortunate for
Davis that he ventured to pronounce tho
union general, who did so much to bring
his plans to nauEht, a slanderer, for aside
from its unseemliness from ono in his po-
sition the result has been to bring ont
evidence to sustain Sherman that the OK
rebel president will find it hard to con-
troyert.

If the ODonavan Rosa gang Of dyna-
miters will conhno their murderous oper-
ations to tho determination Of them
selves. the public will look on compla-
ccntly until the last one has bitten the
lust. For every one that Is killed, or
nurderously assaulted, several will pay
tho penalty Of crime, and in brief time
those who have not gone to the happy
hunting grounds will be expiating their
'aults on the sca6old or in prison. 1t is
not surprising that they are suspicious of
one another. Their contemplated work
is murder, in which neither age nor sex is
to be spared. Their plotting should
not be- tolerated, and yet until
some overt act in their conspiracies is at
tempted, II tisvery difficult to reach them.
There is, however, enough in Capt. Phe-
lan's statement to warrant the authorities
in New York in ascertaining its truth.
Not enly should his assailant be prose-
suited, but the effort should be made to
find cut whether he had aiders and abet-
tors. If there was conspiracy, there
should be no stone left unturned to ex-
poso it and punish the conspirators. Tho
dynamite fends should understand that
their views meet with no encouragement
in this country, and that any attempt on
their part to carry them out will meet
with speedy and certain punishment.

The following senator's tcrms expire
with this congress Pugh Of Alabama,
Walker of Arkansas. Farley OF California,
Jill of Colorado, Platt Of Connecticut,

ham Of New York, Vance Of North CAROL
ina, Pondleton Of Ohio, Slater OF Oregon,
Cameron Of Pounsylvanis, Sheffield of
Rhode Island Hampton ofSouth Carolina,
Morrill, of Vermont, and Cameron of
Wisconsin.
Senators Pugh, Brown, Allison, Hamp-
ton, Vance, and Morrill, have already
boon chosen their own successors, and
there is little doubt that Senators Platt,
Call, Voorhees,, ingalls,, Vest, Jones, and
Cameron, Of Pennsylvania, will bo equally
fortunate. Senators Farley and Slater
arc without hope, as tho legislatures
behind them are republicans. Senator
Williams gives place to Hon. Joseph Q.
g. Blackburn, Senator Pendleton to Hon.
Henry b. Payne, Senator Jonas TO his
predecessor, Hon. James b. Eustis, and
Senator Groome to Judge Wilson. Soma
tor Cameron, Of Wisconsin, desires to re-
tiro at tho end Of his present term,
but may be- reelected in spite Of him
self, II tho legislature Of that state
is unable to select successor from
among the several candidates for his
seat. Senators Lapham and Sheffield
can hardly be considered as in tho race in
the contests going on in their respective
states. The remaining senators, viz :
Walker, of Arkansas; Hill, of Colorado !;
Logan, of Illinois, and Blair, Of New
Hampshire, are all candidates for re.olcc-
tion. The New Hampshire legislature
does not meet until June, leaving a
vacancy for the governor of that state to
fill by appointment The tie in the 1lli-
nois legislature enshrouds the election in
that state in doubt.
At least eight new mombers will appear
! in the next senate, with possibility that
| this infusion of new blood will be in
creased by the elections soon to be held
| This is not large proportion Of new
senators, but it is about the average vari-
alton that takes place in the senate from
congress to congress. Only eleven new
senators were elected to the forty-eighth
congress ou of a possible twenty-six, and
two of these changes were due to change
in tho political complexion Of the legis'
latures and three to the death, resig.
nation, or voluntary retirement of the
senator at the end Of the term. The south
still adheres to its old custom Of re.eloct-
ing its senators term after term, and only
two now members will appear from that
section after the 4th of March. One ol
these, Eustis, of Louisiana, was q member
of the senate six years ago.
The republicans will have n majority
of six in the next senate, even If q demo
crat should bo chosen to succeed Senator
Logan, and majority of eight If his sue
cessor be republican. There is little
probability that the democrats will secure
control of the upper branch of congress
during President Cleveland's term, though
the senate of tho fiftieth congress will un
doubtedly be very close, unless Their
should be break in the solid south.

NEBRASKA has o law against treating,
that common custom Of Americans when
they meet In saloons and bsrrooms to
gather their daily inspiration, Tho text
of the law as it appears in tho Philadel-
phia Press Is as follows:
AN ACT to prevent treating in saloons and
other public places
Be u enacted by he Legislature Of he state Of
Nebraska: All persons are prohibited from
treating or giving away any liquor beer, wine,
or intoxicating beverage whatever, purchased,
and 20 be drank In any saloon or other public
place whore such liquors or beverages are kept
for sale.
Sec. ?. Any persons treating or offering to
treat any other person, or accepting or offer.
ing to accept any treat or gin Of any intoSi-
eating drink whatever In any saloon or public
place where such liquors are kept for sale,
shall be deemed guilty of n misdemeanor, and
shall, upon conviction thereof be subject to a
fine of so or imprisonment In the common
lail of the county iorten days or both, at the
discretion Of the court, and, in addition there.

Approved, Feb 2S, A. D., 1881,
1t is certainly novel enactment, and
yet, could 1t be rigidly enforced, there is
no saying what amount of drunkenness
might be avoided. We never think ol

we buy one, roast of beef whom we pur
chase for ourselves and seldom even a
