From Washington. News Notes.
Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
WASHINGTON d. C., MAY II. 1873

NR. EDITOR: Numerous complaints
have been made to the State Department
by Frenchmen who have become citizens of
the United States by complying with the
requirements Of our naturalization laws.
and who have afterwards, upon visiting
France, been impressed into the French
military service. When the matter has
been brought to the attention OF the French
Minister his reply has uniformly been in
effect that the question of allegiance was
one over which the administration had no
jurisdiction. and which must be settled by
the court. He declares that, under French
principles, citizenship is conferred by
parentage, and ths expatriation of the
French citizen requires the consent of the
French government. In reply to this pro-
position the Secretary Of State insists that
the proofs of citizenship Of this country
are not open 70 Impeachment by any fore
ign government; and he has demanded the
instant release of all such Impressed
citizens, with compensation for their de.
tention, and that under no circumstances
viii the United States admit of the pro-
prietY Of submitting the question involved
to the delays Incident to judicial action;

will be Il ia difficult at this time 70 con-

IL has at last been decided that we are to

Capital. Congress- has appropriated the
necessary funds for defra, ing the prelimn-
ary expenses, and workmen are engaged in
constructing buildings for the temporary
accommodation of the herds of buffalo,
deer and other animals that have been
ordered from the west. Prof. William T.
Hornaday, who for several years past has
held the position of chief taxidermist at the

A Prayer for Protection.

Washington Critic: A minister wis
iting a congressman's family in the
West End conducted family prayers the
first morning after his arrival, at which
the congressman was not present, and
the small boy of uhe house interviewed
him at breakfast.
"What was that you prayed for?n he
inquired abruptly.
why, Johnnie" expostulated the
mother, you must"
''Oh, let him go on - said the minis
ter, with a smile; II love TO hear these
innocent little prattlers. You want to
know, my child, what | prayed for?"
Eyes, sir" responded the boy, po-
litely.
Well, / asked the Lord for wisdom,
for guidance for protection-n
That's it," said the boy, interrupting
him; that's it. You prayed for pro-
lection"
Eyes, my boy" replied the surprised
minister.
well, you can't 60 it any more in
this house. My pa is a free-trader, and
if he gets on to your racket he'll raise a
row with you sure"
Explanations followed which removed
the limit from the minister's petition.

GOV. TBAYER ON THE "PINKs."
what the Chief Executive Thinks of
the Hirelincs,

Governor fhayer, who arrived in the city
last evening from Geneva, was interviewed.
by q renrcseptatiye of the BEE concerning
his attitude on the Pinkerton m~ercenaries.
81 am glad you have called, 4" said the gov
ernor, 'and will cheerfully answer any ques-
tions you may put. There are all sorts of
wild statements regarding this matter. l no.
tice Senator Van Wyck is quoted as saying
in his speech az Plattsmouth that 1 ought to
have had the Pinkerton hirelings dumped
into the river or driven across the
border. 1 am surprised that General
Van Wyck should use such language. He
is usually well informed and certainly knows
better. | doubt whether his speech is re-
ported correctly. How nm / to drive these
men out OF the state, and where is the au-
thority for me to act except on cali by the
local authoritiesl AS governor of this state
| am obliged to execute the law, and shall al
ways hold myself ready TO invoke all the
power ut my command for the protection of
the lives and property of the citizens.n
al was told by Captain Foley, of the Pink
erton force stationed here,' said the repor-
ter, that YOU were called upon by
the sheriff Of Red Willow county
at McCook, but had paid no attention to it,
and therefore the b.. e. NJ. had to station the
Pinkerton force at McCook.n
Captain Foley is misinformed," said the
governor. mo officer at McCook or any
other place has called for aid on me. If the
sheriff of Red Willow county had requested
military protection he would have had it
very promptly. As n matter of fact, / am
told that that sheriff notified the division
superintendent of the Burlington road at
McCook that he was unable to protect b. IL
NJ. property and Manager Holdredge,
in response to the requisition
of the division superintendent, sent
the Pinkerton force to McCook.
You may say for me that | have q most de-
cided aversion to the importation of the Pin
kerton police and / have so expressed myself
without reserve to the officers of the Burling-
ton road. / have made q thorough study of
the laws bearing on the subject, but find no
authority to interfere with them, much less
to expel them forcibly unless turbulence and
riot should occur through them which the local
authorities were unable to suppress. If
these men came into Nebraska with arms in
their hands in large force they might be
treated as invaders, but l find that in most
cases they have been deputiZed by sheriffs or
sworn in by the city mayors. The proper
course to get rid of them
would be for the citizens to have such of
them as were performing police functions
arrested aud dealt with by the courts. So
far as | am concerned said the governor in
conclusion, 81 believe in q government of
law the civil authorities must be upheld, and
the military can only interfere when the
civil authorities are unable to protect life
and property. The importation of non-resi-
dents is at variance with American institu-
tions, and entirely disapproved by me-"

When win They BE Paid?

The hardest worked, and most ~irregularly
paid men in South Omaha, care the MEM
bers Of the police force. Six Of them have to
patrol about sixteen square miles of terri
tory night and day, and il anything goes
wrong, the blame is at once laid to them.
For doing this they are supposed to receive a
salary of s55 a month, but for the last four
months IL has only been a supposition, for
they have not received a cent. They did get
warrants on the treasury for the first month
or two, and had to sacrifice them at a dis
count of 10 per cent, but this month they
didn't even get that. When the question of
paying them comes up before the council the
members express regret that there are no
funds, and then apparently consider they
have done their duty without giving a thought
as to how the policemen are to make both
ends meet. The policemen themselves are
getting tree of it, and so are the better class
of citizens whose property they are called

VAN ETTEN FOUND GUILTY.
After being out just t~wenty-four hours the
jury that tried Attorney David Z. Van Etten
on the charge of embezzlement came into
court last evening with a verdict of guilty as
charged in the indictment. Van Etten was
on hand and heard the result with very little
show Of mental disturbance. AS soon as the
verdict was made known his attorney asked
Judge Hopewell that Van Etten be allowed
his freedom on his old bail bonds
pending an application for "a
he did not know whether the statutes per.
mitted of such action, and as he was shout TO
take a train for another court in the district
he had not the time to listen to arguments
and hunt up authorities. County Attorney
Simeral expressed q belief that Van Etten
could not be admitted 10 bail, and cited a
similar case of a few weeks ago that when
after conviction was announced the prisoner
was turned over to the custody of the sheriff.
Based on this information Judge Hopewell
refused to grant the plea of Van Etten, and
he was put in charge of Deputy Sheriff Grcbe
and locked up in the county Jail. 1t is UNI
derstood that u motion will be made before
Judge Wakeley this morning by the prisoner
to be let out on bail.
The penalty for Van Etten's offense is
from one to seven years in the penitentiary.
DECIDED AGAINST TIzARD.
The unsavory divorce suit of lizard VS..
lizard which has been occupying the atten-
tion of Judge Doane since Monday last was
decided at a late hour yesterday afternoon,
and resulted in q complete defeat of the hus-
band who brought the charges. Judge
Doane mtimated that the allegations of
cruelty, adultry, etc, made against Mrs.
lizard were not sustained by the evidence
and fully exonerated her. The case was
originally begun one year ago by the filing of
a petition alleging cruelty. Since then a
landsuit was heard in Columbus, of this
state, wherein lizard sued Mr.. O'Neill, q
brother of Mrs. lizard, for the recovery of a
piece of land in Platte county. During the
tendency of that suit lizard, who had de-
serted his wife, returned and remained with
her, but the decision being adverse to him he
again left his wife and took their two chill

II STEPS TAKEN.
Meeting to Organize a Builders n
Traders Exchange.


ID. J. Collins presided temporarily over the
deliberations Of some fifty contractors and
builders who met at the council chambers
last night for the purpose of organizing a
builders and traders exchange similar to
those in vogue in the east in cities over fifty
thousand population. Mr.. Collins explained
that the objects of the exchange were to
admit only men of honesty and standing in
contracting and building material furnishing
circles.
Mr.. Coots and other speakers said an ex-
change was u very desirable institution for
all large cities, and would prove beneficial to
the contractors Of Omaha. He was warmly
in favor of it, and moved that those present
step up to the desk Of the acting secretary,
Mr.. Bloom, and sign their names to the list
requesting that an organization be perfected.
The president announced that he had
already received the signatures of a number
of prominent building supply firms, and that
they had expressed themselves as heartily in
accord with the proposed exchange.
Mr.. Hussey suggested that before any
formal movement was decided upon that two
committees of five each be appointed to draw
up a constitution and bylaws, and more
fully set forth the objects Of the exchange.
Mr.. Andreen asked what had become of q
similar organization started last year, and as
a member of which he paid his dues. Mr..
Nlcrllng replied that organization was still
intact, had elected officers two months ago
and had 800 in the treasury. 1t was pro-
posed TO merge that association into the ex-
change.
Mr.. Coots favored the merging process,
and thought that the members of the old as
sociation who had paid up their dues should
have it credited TO them upon their joining
the exchange.
The chairman appointed a committee of
three to select the two committees of five
each, and while they were celebrating Mr..
Burns, Il member of the Chicago exchange,
praised the movement and said it made nom
est men of contractors who if they did not
pay their bills promptly had their names
posted on the blackboards. Like expressions
were heard from others.
The following are the committees selected
On by-laws-Messrs. Smith, O'Ruarc, Collins,
Lewis and Cummings soliciting committee
Messrs. Hussey, Gray, Sunderlen, Taylor
and Rockeniield.
A large number then stepped forward and
signed n request that the exchange be formed,
after which the meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.

No story ever written in the annals of his
tory, in the same space of time, became so
popular as that of Rider Haggard's startling
story of 'Shc.' In this country and across
the waters it was sought for by everybody,
and like a mighty storm, flew from ocean to
ocean, coast to coast, and throughout the
land. In one short year, from nobleman to
citizen, was read by all, and, like a vision,
themc of the day. 1t is no wonder then that
a story so full of startling realism should go
before the people as a drama, where the i'm
agination could realize scenes so full of mys-
terry. When Messrs. Barrows and Staley or
dered the scenery painted for This mammoth
production, things that were historic were
the subjects sought for; and all the old books
of design were hunted up and laid before the
artist with orders TO give them things that
were two thousand years ago.

Can Catarrb Re Curedq

The past age might be called a superstitious
one. The present can more properly be called
an age of surprises, for many things once classed
among the impossibilities have now become
everyday possibilities: 1t would besuperfluous
to enumerate them. Bnt nave we reached the
utmost limit Have we? Physicians who claim
to make certain ailments the human body is
subject to a special study, and claim to. be able
to cure such diseases, are pronounced by other
self-satistied practitioners as presumptuons but
does their saying so make IL so? The man who
can come the nearest to overcoming the seeming
we'll does he or they deserve the success they
have labored so hard to attain. DIR. j. Cresap
Mccoy OrhiS associates do not make claims to
anything marvellous. such as raising the dead
and giving them new life: neither do they claim
TO give sight TO tine blind; but by
their new and scientific method OF treating
catarrh they have cured and do cure. catarrh as
well as bronchial and throat troubles. They
make catarrh a specially, because 1t Is oneof
the most prevalent and troublesome diseases
that the people of this climate are heir to. Since

Setting Cuttings.

Cuttings may be safely set any time
in May. Cuttings that have been stored
in sand v winter should not be dis
turbed until time to set. Before set
ting they should be freshly cut-that IS,
the ends taken off that wero cut in
autumn, which are sure to be a little
shriveled and dry, thus closing the
pores and delaying the start. The
ends should be given a bevel cut, that
more surface may be exposed to the
soil, and that the cutting may be more
readily pushed down into it's place.
One mistake in setting cuttings is
ground. The root of the cutting must
necessarily be very limited indeed.
The first tiny rootlets that are thrown
out can hardly furnish food for an OPEN
ing bud or two above. Yet we often
see cuttings from one to two feet in
length, containing, a dozen buds that
are trying to start or the meagre sup
port from below. The small amount of
nutriment that is sent up is spread over
too much surface, and the consequence
is that the sapless pores shrivel up, and
the cutting fails to grow. The whole
strength of the root should be concen-
trated upon n or two buds. Two
buds above the ground are enough.
cuttings SnOuld nave u good mellow
soil. Many seem to have the idea that
Il cutting may be pushed down most any
where and will grow. The little roots
need the very best of soil, so that they
may not suffer from lack of moisture in
case of Il dry time.
@Many a family who do not feel able to
buy plants of nursery stock may get a
little good fruit about them by getting
of their more fortunate neighbors. We
may we'll take example of our thrifty
German neighbors in this respect. They

The Wonderful Tale Of a Member Of That
Noble Organization,
Sherman's March From "Atlsnta To
the Sea-" Through Georgia and tbe
Carolinas -GS2d Reading for
Frand Army Boys.


So much has already been written about Gen.
sherman 5 march to the sea, that It has become
q FAMILIAR subject 10 our readers. Gen, Sher-
mans army commenced its memorable march
from Atlanta to the Sea- on the morning of
November 18th, and arrived in front OF the de-
lenses of Savannah on the 10th of December.
1864. No news had been received from the north
during this interval, except such as could be
CLEANED from southern papers picked up by the
soldiers on the line of march. Their fleet was in
Ossabaw Sound with supplies of food and cloth.
from home for nearly every one in the army,
from the commanding general down to the pri.
vate soldier. All that blocked their communlca.
ton with the fleet was TT. McAlister, on the
HaZen's division of the 18th corps. on December
18th and the 18th brought the boys their mails
and an abundant supply of food and ammunition.
mkaing that one of the happiest days expert
enced by the men of Sherman's army Prepare
tions were made for assaultingthe confederate
works, and were nearly completed when the
troops entered the city before daybreak on the
2lst. of December. The fall OF TT. McAlister
placed Gen. Sherman in communication with
Gen. Grant and the authorities in Washington.

Point by sea was the plan contemplated by
Gen. Grant, but Gen. Sherman expected, after
reducing Savannah, instantly to march to Co.
lumbia, 5. G., thence to Raleigh, and then re-.
port to Gen. Grant, and so telegraphed him. The
fall of savannah resulted in the adoption of the
plan Gen. Sherman had contemplated.
bout one month was spent in Savannah in
clothing the men and filling the train with am
munition and rattons. Then commenced the
movement which was to make South Carolina
