that,'in consequence of the failure of

from the commandant at Sydney, Neb.:
"Wheeler and Merchant, who are re?
liable rahohemen, state that a party of

They abandoned their herd and came

ton's party." The commanding officer
at Sidney was directed, by telegraph,
to send out all his available cavalry to
Lawrence Fork, as far as Reddington's
ranohe. General Reynolds, command?
ing at Fort De Russoll, has been in?
structed, by telegraph, to send out two

Washington, February 11.?In tho
House, in committee of the whole, the
amendment to tho aimy bill, placing
two additional members on the War
Claims Commission, passed. Bromberg,
of Alabama, moved an amendment, that
tho two additional commissioners pro?
vided for in the bill shall be selected
from the Southern States; rejected.
Cox, of New York, offered an amend?
ment, that the army shall not be used iu
aid of the pretended Stato Govern moot
known as the Kellogg Government in
Louisiana, or so as to interfere iu the
elections of that or any other State,
Wheoler madu tho point of order, that
the amendment proposed new legisla?
tion, and was not in order. Sypher, of
Louisiana, hoped the amendment would
be admitted, for tho Kellogg Govern?
ment had troops enough to Ciush out
the rebel Democracy. Randall, of Penn?
sylvania?It has rascals enough. The
..v;,-.t of nrdar ^ras sustained, and thu
amendment was excluded. Thu com?
mittee then rose, aud reported tho hill,
and the House proceeded to vote on the
amendments. The firs', vote was on the
amendment offered by Young, of Geor?

1875, whioh was agrcod to. All the other
amendments were agreed to iu bulk, aud
the hill was passed.
" Mr. Bayard, iu tho Senate, to-day,
explained his resolution of yesterday,
calling on the Presideut to inform the
Senate whether any officer of the army
had received money or fees from the
Legislature of South Carolina for ser?
vice rendered the State. He said he
was morally convinced that Mujor Lewis
Merrill, of the Seventh United States
Cavalry, had reoeived from tho State of
Booth Carolina 821,400 for his agency
in securing the arrest and conviction of
persons engaged in Ku Klux outrages,
und that the said Merrill aided in lob?
bying the bill through the South Caro?
lina Legislature giving $35,000 to per?
sons who should secure such arrests and
conviotions. Mr. Howe reminded Mr.
Bayard that the Government had dis?
tributed 8100,000 among army officers
for the arrest of Jeff. Davis, whoso
offenoo was tho perpetration of Ku Klux
outrages. Mr. Scott defended Major
Merrill as an accomplished officer, uud
believed ho deserved the reward whioh
ho may have reoeived.

A Death of Mr, Jamks Ezell.? This
old and highly esteemed oitizeu, near
eighty years of age, died a few days

"Oowpens battle-ground."
A ur.u, named Harris, was arrested at
Atlanta, Monday, on tho charge of
counterfeiting. The tools were found
among his effects.
Chicago to Charleston?Speech of
the Hon. W. B. Ogden, of Chicago.?
Ou beiug iotroiluoed by Mr. A. C.
Kaufman to the association, Hon. Mr.
Ogden said that be had left Now Yurk
to Settle in Chicago in 1838. In 1831,
Chicago was incorporated as a village,
aud in 1837 as a aity. Its Qrst railroad,
the Qalena, now Chicago and North?
western, was begun in 1817, extended
forty-two miles to Elgin in 1851), ami
divided the 160 per cent, of dividends
from that time to 1850, iualusive. It
has now iiftceu f>r more regular roads
centreing there. Of thuso roads, he had
heeu instrumental iu building 2,000
miles. While his losses iu theso roads,
produced by the determination to cllect
close and through connections, had
beon immense, threatening nt times his
fortunes, these very losses had been tho
nioaus of his success, for the connections
once finished, he -aw n business spring
up whieh enhanced tho valuo of his pro?
perty to fabulous figures. Look what a
parket railway system bus dono for
Chicago. Iu 1311, that city had 1,000
inhabitants; it now numbers 400,000.
Tho exports of 1873 uro stated to bo
$210,000,000. This transportation cen?
treing upon the Pennsylvania Railroad,
from Pittsburg to Now York, about 150
miles, has enabled that road to earn,
during the past year, 833,000,000, or
$70,000 per mile; und the New York
Centrul und Hudson River Railroad,
same length, has earned over $29,000,
000. This great increase of transpor?
tation, production and growth iu the
West has been occasioned, in large
pa.-t, by imiaigratiou. Illinois has
been built up by immigration. Tho
foreign immigration arriving at Cas?
tle- Garden, New York, seeking u re?
sidence iu tho North-westeru States, is
estimated to carry 8200 per capita. The
oountry West of Chicago aud L ike Mi?
chigan, includiug the Stato of Illinois,
increased by 250,000 po >ple a year, ac?
cording to tho Governmentoeusns, from
1850 to iSCO, nuu ubuut the same or
more from 1SG0 to 1870. If this num?
ber averaged $200 per capita, it is equal
to $51),000,000 per anuum brought into
tho country annually, and of this sum,
ninety per cent, is spent within six
mouths alter its ariival, in establishing
farms and other enterprises. The twelve
North-wcstorn States aud the upper val?
ley of tho Mississippi, North-west of
the Ohio River, including the State of
Aiifesonri, increased from 1S10 to 1830
about 330,000 peuolo per annum; from
1830 to I860. 100.000 per annum; from
1800 to 1S70, 100,000 per annum. This
annual addition, averaging $200 per
capita, and thoy probably brought
more, amounted to 800,000,000; aud to
this source is mainly attributable the
wonderful increase in population,
wealth, production and growth of the
North-west.
This gigantic development has at last
utterly over-loaded all means of trans?
portation to the sea-board, and the West
and North-west are now anxiously sock?
ing a solution of its difficulty. They
would ghidly welcome any connection
like tho proposed road via Spartauburg
aud Abbeville to Charleston, or any city
of the South Atlantic States, to receive
aud ship their surplus production, aud
glad to receive yours in exchange.
If tho city of Charleston could open
an efficient thoroughfare direct through
Cincinnati and Louisville to St. Louis
and Chicago, its effect would be prompt
!v to oi^wU cus or mosrc line] g5 stcstss*
ships from Charleston to Europe. As
SOOB as this can be accomplished then
immigration from Europe would seek
these line-, as the port o! Charleston is
uever obstructed with ieo. The immi?
grants urriving here would, us is the
case everywhere else, locato largely
along the lino of this road in South Ca?
rolina, and points beyuud in their
movemeuts Westward. There is no
reason why tho prosperity of the
country along the line of this road, with
its fine soil aud climate, should not
equal that of similar routes between
Northern cities and tho West. Why,
then, should not the population of
Charleston increase from 50,000 to 200,
000 or 300,000? This would follow as a
uatural oousequeuco. Tho North-west is
now ready to seek this port, not only as
an outlet for their surplus produce aud
a relief from tho existing difficulties of
prompt transportation, but as a delight
till winter resort for their people, aud
the further consideration that this port
is always open, and this road will always
be free from snow and ice.
If tho city of Charleston, with all its
depressions following tho war and tho
pauic, was to be bonded for the amount
sufficient to secure this important con?
nection with the North-west, and tho
proceeds of theso bonds could, uuder
skillful engineers and able management,
be economically and wisely expended in
tho construction of such nn avenue, it
would probably be the most efficient
method for its practical relief from its
present despondency, and for tho en?
hancement of tho value id all its pro?
perty and thu enlargement of its busi?
ness interests. I do not understand
that such a movement would bo consi?
dered practicable at preseut; !>ut such
contributions as its citizens uro nblo to
muko to accomplish sauh a moans of
intercourse between tho important har?
bor of Charleston aud the cities of the
groat North-west, would seem to me to
bo undoubtedly wise.
Death of Dn. L. C. Service.?In?
