Tub railroad king of the C, B. & Q.,
CL&3. E. 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.
