Perkins, has just closed the jur cbaae of the Ilanulbal A St. Joe ruil roo, which is consequently added to the quiver of the O., B. & Q. Abhor day was generally observed in Nebraska. In 1'lattsmoitth a large number of ornimental and fruit trees were planted out. We notice the city of Lincoln generally paid its respects to this day and public; exercises were held at the state University, although Mr. J. Sterling Morton was compelled to disappoint that institution by , not being present to deliver, an. address in favor of protection to our forestB. Postmaster Gen. Gkrsiiam has set down ou Gen'l Chalmers, of Mississip pi, in regard to postal matters in the shoe-string district. Such, is fallen greatness! Delilah sheared Sampson of his locks, and he suddenly found himself on a level ith the common herd. So the average Congressman finds himself stranded on a political sand bar the moment he is shorn of his postoffice patronage Fa7c Chalmers! The Star route cases closed yesterday, the 18th, so far as the introduction of testimony is concerned, and immediately " a squabble arose over ,J.he argument. It appears tho govern ment desired two closiog addresses to the jury, which was warmly opposed by the counsel for tho defense. - Col. In soli declaring that he would not make an argument for his client if the court permitted this unheard of precedent. This unusual request is made by council for the Government, in order to allow Brewster, Attorney General, to make an appearance in the case. Da. Miller has been savagely attack ing Vice-President Edmunds lately be cause the senator from Vermont was called upon to lead in framing the '-electoral count " law by which the presi dential contest was amicably and peace ably settled in 1877. The Dr. evidently forcets that many good patriotic demo crats assisted Senator Edmunds and his colleagues in framing that wise and just law. We are afraid the Dr.'s personal disappointments iu that campaign are prompting him to say ungracious things about the Nestor of the U. S. senate, which iu his chivalric moods he would not say ; however we won't quarrel with the Dr. about it. Vicft-President Ed munds can stand it. That was bitter sarcasm yesterday, when Kobt. G. Ingersoll, objecting to the Attorney General of the United States making the second closing argu ment in the star route cases, exclaimed, when the CourUintimated that the .Atty. General, Mr. Brewster, might wish to speak: " I don't know that I would call that two arguments but I object to the precedent. If the Atty. Genl wants to say a word in this case let him have the courage to make his arguments when he can ' be answered ; not that I think he could do any harm. If he want3 to make the closing argument, I should be delighted; but as to two closing arguments, I object." The Herald believes it knows what .wo.uld please Col. Bob,' far more than to have Mr. Brewster close these cases, and that would bo to have him make a speech somewhere during the argu ment where he, (Col. Bob), could fol low him. We hazard the opinion that the frills and rufiles would, prom is coualy Oil the air, if such an oppoitu nity as this should present itself to the eloquent Ingersoll. DIAGONAL POINTERS. Ilailroad matters are decidedly en couraging, and we hope very soon to be able to say to the public that the city of Plattsmouth has a well ground eu hope for the future. lears ago, the Tronk road should have been built and bad not the shortsighted "dog in the manger" spirit taken possession of the usually big hearted, liberal spirit ed citizens of Xeoraska city the A. & N. road, which today opens up the Kan sas, and ..Missouri country, direct with Lincoln; would have been built up the Missouri river, where it ought to bnve been built; as it Is, there has been a chasm, dreary and disheartening, be tween Nebraska city and the live cit ies of Plattsmouth and Omana ever since; and Nebraska city has been the chief mourner. The flourishing cities svuta west of thig point, situated in the " land of corn And pork, are .'ali 'looking " for some 'direct'thoroughf are by which . grain and stock can be shipped direct to the markets, on the flukes without breaking bulk.,; riattimouth will be. we now confidently prediit. tho ' cross ing for this highway fiom our eouth western territory in Nebraska, and it is in hopes of the fulfillment of this project that the niaiAUi baa been im portuning the public to consider this feasible and commendable routn. .' - - OUR SUPREME COURT. iue stay of execution in the Matt tolmmerwao case will attract wide at A 'It .. - leni.ou throughout the state, and doubtless, criticisms will be indulged in as usual, against bur supreme court jus and the courts of this state, as well hi the state itself, that the people understand just how these matters come about. r . Our supreme court today stands with the people, who know the court and understand its manner of transacting business, In high esteem. There is not a man upon the supreme bench, whose record, as a private citizen, or public man. Is tiot spotless ; not Is there a man upon that bench whose reputation as a good lawyer and sound juiist is not unexceptionable; as men and judges they are above reproach. We have in Nebraska, a class of newspapers who, without examination, we think, have permitted themselves to fall into the error of criticising this court for its too liberal, as it is termed, leaning to wards criminals; in other words, per mitted their opinions to be formed by the gusts of passion and popular (?) prejudice, which have occurred upon one or two occasions when some great criminal has been allowed to go un punished on account of the informali ties of trial had in the lower courts, and that without taking the pains to inform themselves, or even publishing the ntws, which of itself would put the public in possession of the acts necessary to form a correct judgment and place the responsibility where it belongs. The celebrated Olive case, doubtless, is the main one which has brought the supreme court of Nebraska into dis favor with a large number of these newspapers and a portion of the pub lie. It should not be forcotten that the safe trial and speedy punishment of law-breakers, rests with the people, and their immediate courts at their homes. The dietrict courts, their grand juries, and prosecutors have the full control, of these matters, and are, to a very great extent, responsible for the speedy vindication of the law and the punishment of such men as Olive and Sim merman. Our supreme court sits in criminal as well as civil cases. merely as a reviewiug court or court of errors. Every citizen, be he black or white, an Olive or a Simmerman, has a right and ' nothing but tho dis graceful, lawless proceedings recently had at Hastings, Neb., can prevent its exercise to appeal to this tribunal and take its opinion as to the legality or illegality or nis treatment, as a sovereign, at the hands of the lower court, or tribunal, which is depriving him of his property or life as the case may be. Now, then, any one ought to be able to comprehend the duties of this su preme court; they are simple, plain, and direct, as prescribed by statute. When a cause is properly placed be fore it by the citizen, it has to pass upon the questions presented. It is its duty, and it has to say, when the law has been fairly and impartially applied and administered by the inferior courts. It is created expressly for this purpose. It is its duty, and it has to say what tho law is, when disputes arise as-to its meaning and interpreta tion; and this brings us to the very point which the public seem to over look. Every decision which this court makes, is not made alone for the indi vidual bringing his grievance before the tribunal, but is made for every member of the body politic, to be ap plied to every individual in the state alike to say that flagrant disregard of the rules of the law must be over looked by a reviewing court, because the accused is a great criminal, is to place the liberties and rights of every good man in the community in peril. Among the many articles and criti cisms'upon Nebraska's supreme court for the reversal of the Olive case, we have yet to hear the judgment of the court criticised upon a single point de cided by that court as the law of the case.except it be upon the jurisdic tional question which aioso jn the case, and upon which the court was divided in its opinion. The only rea son given why the court was to blame, was that Olive and his gaijg were Cends, and ought to be punished. The oniy; just test in tnis, or any case, in which is sought to be criti cised, is, has the court decided the law correctly? not, was the criminal a bad man? but was his trial fair, and what any citizen accused of such a crime was entitled to? If the supreme court of this or any other state would permit itself to be lashed into a vindicative tribunal through the influence of the passions of an excited populance, how long would the liberties of the individual be safe ? It should noi be forgotton that the supreme court of this state is, and rep resents a part of Nebraska itself ; it is a co-ordinate branch of our state gov ernment. The fair fame of Nebraska to a very large extent, rests with this court, and is represented by it; and un just hasty, foolish flings, and criti cisms against the judiciary only tend to bring the courts into disrespect with the individual, and our fair name abroad into disrepute. President Arthur's Kindly Nature. Pleasant stories illustrating the presidant's kindly nature are plentiful. One'of the latest is told. by the Wash ington correspondent of the Philadel phia Record, who. writes:: .A dainty little girl of eight or. nine with dan gerous big eyes appeared in the libra ry of th white bouse the other day VnirftisiV when It was full of great men of one sort and another and quietly waited her. turn Jo speakjvith the tall gentle man with the gray whiskers and hair and the courteous manner, down by the bay window "in the south end of the room.' By and by her opportunity came. She tripped forward modestly but bravely, and with a Good morn ing, Mr. President," told her name and proffered her request. She was a niece of Gen. WinGeld Scott Hancock, and she wanted a few sweet flowers from the executive conservatory for the eastcr decoration of a little Episcopal church. She smiled archly as she told her errand, as though she was quite sure of a favorable response. The president's tired face brightczed with smiles as he turued from the tiresome politicians to the sweet little face be fore him. It was like a cooing zephyr from Chesapeake on a hot summer's day. He told her honestly that he was very glad to see her, and then gave her a carte blanche in the conservatory, and dismissed her with a pleasant word or two about his own little girl, who does so much to lighten up his life in the white house. Her handsome uncle could not have done more for her had be been standing in Arthur's place. -Ex. Tie Fii Line THE L C, St. J.. 2 C B. E. B. Safest. Best anfl Most Reliable LINE IN THE WEST.
