portions that tic president and h'.s cab
inet are now engaged in di.-cussitig it.
It is eo new question tc this country.
English misrule for the last half cen
tury in Ireland haa precipitated an op
pressed, and at limes, poveriy stricken
immigration upon our chores During
ncne of the famines,in limes pasr.wl.ich
have always increased the volume of
Irish immigrants to America, has this
home government shown any disposi
tion to take care of her Irish subjects
iu a paternal manner. In government
ciicles, in times past, the audacious
proposition hag been made by the Eng
lish government to furnish free bottoms
to the evicted tenantry of Ireland, in
order to land them upon our shores and
thus get rid of a dissatisfied pojMila,
tion. And this with the full knowl
edge of the Americau government both
at home and abroud.
It seem to us folly upon the part of
the authorities at Washington and New
York to talk about returning these
paupers to their native is'aud or com
pelling the steamship c nip uiies which
brought them here, to return them. We
presume that these steamships, if paid
enough by this govcrament,would have
no objection to carrying lhes people
back and forth the emire sea.-on.
"We are quite certain that this govern
ment has no power to compel them to
return these paupers to the ol-f vortd.
we are aiso quire certain liiut our
government should i-ct Httmnpl to rem
edy this evil by refusing to receive this
immigration in the ubsnc- of legisla
tion. It is not a matter between the Iri-h
immigrant and this great govferumeut ;
he has a right to come to this country
in any manner open to him. It is this
English nation wh is thus seeking to
get rid of their dissatisfied subjects, we
have to deal with. And we hope that
the present administration will so em
phasize its requests and demands upon
England, in this respect, that there will
be no mistaking our position. Ireland
is misgoverned ; the life is ground out
of her people; for long weary years
they haye been forced to fly from a
i home rule which should shelter and
protect them, to this country a on
asylum. And whether th lr way has
been paid by co-operative s w ieties in
this country, or at home, makes very
little difference.
That these people are present with
us, and that the cause of their precftuo
i3 oppression at home, nn oie. will dis
pute lor a moment. iml now, eince

ths offensive policy of sending her dis

BLAINE'S NEW BOOK.
There are tew men better Qualified
to write the latter day history of the
United States than James Ci. Blaine
His long public service, covering one of
tne most stormy and eventful perioda
oi our existence, has given him a mass
of information and data that it would
be well-qigh impossible for any other
man to compile. His experience as con-
Lincoln is again agitating an eastern
connection with the Missouri Pacific at
Avoca, and it ought to occur to tha t
corporation when they build that line,
that it would be a paying investment
to extend it north-east from Avoca to
Plattsmouth.
One of the most inviting fields for
railroad building in the state which i
guarded by the Union P:u if:; with a
jealous eye, is a n-ute front Ashland
north west to Frmout or North Bond,
and from thence into northern Nebras

crets of diplomats and rulers. Such a
man, throwing aside the political bias
that nas warped his public lif, should
as a historian be able to wii.o honestly
aad instinctively of the great scenes in
which he was such au important actor.
Mr. Blaine promises that his book
shall be "a succinct and impartial his-
tory or national legislation upon the
great questions arising from secession
and thp ctvU war, including emancipa
tion, reconstruction, legal tender paper

from thence over the B. & M. to Den

Two heavy trains leave Plattsmouth for

that already fully one-half of the moun

acceptance, cited the case in Iowa, ex
actly. He said: "he believed the party
was advancing to higher grounds, and
