Tiik republican primaries were well attended upon 13 1 evening, and good men were nominated for the council. Messrs. Mathews, Eikenbary, Fairfield and Morrison are representative men, and should have the support of all good citizens. Old John Brown is dead; not our old John Iirown, but the man that became lamous an the servant of Vic toria, lie is said to hare been very rich. lie has been with the (Jupcn nearly, forty-five years say the dis pattficp, and was a man of jrrent per sonal courage, which he displayed on tevcral occasions in the defence of her Majesty' person. He nan a Scotchman by birth, a tine clan-deal scholar, and a tine Hnguiut, speaking several lau(iiajres fluently. Jt is not probable that the assistant postmaster general, Mr. Frank Ilatton, will receive the appointment of post- master general, for the reason that a verykinlluential portion of he press of the country are bitterly opposed to hitn. Especially is this the case in " president Arthur's own state. It is claimed by many that Mr. Ilatton is not a large enough man mentally for such a position, and that th Iowa delegation in Congress aro opposed to his nomination. A total eclipse of the sun is lo oc cur May Gth, but it will be visible as a total eclipse only to those r. ho may be in ships in the southern l'acific, or on either Caroline or Flint Island. loth .small and in that ocean. Thither the zealous astronomers who wisli to see the exhibition at its full will have to go, though the way is long and diin cult. Two Freieh expeditions are be ing fitted out. Fugland will doubtless send one, and one is being talked up in this country. The eclipse "is to be an unusually long oa nearly six minutes and the astronomers hope to gain from it additional knowledge con cerning the sun's corona, the zodiacal light and its relations to the sun's sur roundings, and the small intra-mer-curial planets that are supposed to'cir culate iu the sun's immediate i-eih-borhood. Ex. Wk have upon our table a copy of the American Tribune, a twelve page beamtifully printed newspaper from .St. Louis, Mo. We hav8 glanced through it in order to discover if pos sible its mission, and conclude it is t: be devoted to the "valley of the Mis sissippi," the removal of the national capital to St. Louis, and the choosing of a simou puie tirst-class statesman from Missouri as president of the United States; all of which enter prises doubtless the American Tribune considers perfectly feasible, and as St. Louis is doubtless one of the most healthy moral cities iD the United States containing ambitious statesmen who woaild if pressed hard enough ac cept the Presidency of this great re public provided the Tribune suc ceeds in removing the national cipitol to St. Louis. We conc-Iudn the Tribune hasabiillia.it and useful future be fore it. The Inter Ocean makes note of a painful rumor tiiat is in circulation ! among members of the bsr at Vask ington that some of the bonorab't justices of the supreme court are in the habit of dropping off to sleep dur ing the argument of cases, and on one occasion when the legal luminary who had the floor was not as brilliant aa usual, it is said that one of the m.ist distinguished occupants of the bench actually snored. Perhaps thi- fact ha3 come to the knowledge of Chief Justice Waite, for he has ordered the temperature of the supreme court room, which has usually Lten about 7.. kept hereafter at 68. But if he de sires to keep some of the justices awake he will have to keep it so cool that it will be necessary for them to stamp around and slap their chests continually to avoid being frozen to death. C. 1J. Nonpareil. The talk, talk, talk about what the republican party of the great city ot Omaha U going to do iu the April elec tion must end and the fight must be made or unconditional "phluui!x"bc hid. The democracy of Omaha have roui menced actual hostilities by uSaaage at tack on the right, left and center all at once what position have becu assigned the Baihi IUzuoks under the emmand of Gen. Hose water and the Creightiii. the IIkuaiji is not yet able to say, but we apprehend these valiant warriors will be at the front with their war paint on ; recent indications, if we can judge any thing by the parliamentary skirmishes which have been g'oicg on, would lead one lo believe that they sre no holiday soldiers. It in to be hoped that the med ical director of the Herald staff will be en hand with etrecbers and splints and that the hUff will be decently cared for. It has been urjred with a great deal of loree that the (J rami Annv of the itcpublic et apart the 9th day -of April a a holiday, to be devoted to rocruitinjj for the f Jrand Army, and for ci'b-brat iou within the Pwits by eaiFiplires nud appropriate exercises, as each post may deem the most titling ami appropriate. The 9th of April is Ihf Anniversary of the surrender of (eneral Lee' arinyat Appomattox court house, the true dato of the final overthrow of the rebellion. The Na tional Tribune, in ("peaking of this day nays: 'For obvious reason the anniver sary has never become a holiday. I'.y common consent, the people of the North and South have agreed that the triumph of brothers over broth ers should not bo thus perpetuated in the memory of the fill 11 re genera tions." This 14 riht, but still says the Tribune, this is no reason why the CI rand Army should not within its organization notice and observe this day. and so say we. It records the surrender of the capital of the con- leueracy, the surrender ot the cap tain of the confederate armies. It is the anniversary of the day that end ed the loii-, weary, waiting and watching of mot herd and wives for their boy and husbands both north and south, to return from the dread field of battle. It is t lie anniversary of the day that heralded the news to the wait ing, anxious world, that thi? was a nation to be perpetuated under one J common tla, in whose air no slave could breathe; and that iU govern- ment was to remain in the bauds of the people, to be administered for the people and by the people. There are now about lf-0,000 members ot the Urand Army of the Republic, whose names are duly enrolled iu the differ ent parts of the country, and we hope the organization in Nebraska will take steps to recognizeaud observe this yth day of April as it should bo observed. Ituilro.uU and Shipper. The Illinois railroad commission is, under the law creating that curt, having some very important questions to arbitrate between the shipper and the railroads, regarding the quantity of goods shipped and the shortage in weights. The shippers claim that the contracts me roads loree them to en ter into leaves the roads masters of thr? situation, and control of both sides o! me coniraci, mat vrne.i tnej' lail to retvive the amount or quantity of goods they ship, or the .-amo falls short in tfeight, the road3 deny then the right to produce evidence of such shortage. The railroads produce their bills of lading', reading "more or less,': and say the law makes them the kole arbiter as to whether they shall, undttr the contract, adjust such losses to the nipper. A ery recently in that state tlia shippers and the roads wre befor the commissioners upon complaint made by the Receivers and Shippers' association of Illinois; when great abuses were uhowu to exist, shortage, for instance, in weight often ran as high as t.000 pound to a single car. Tne roads stood upon their assumed rights, and denied ths jurisdiction of j the commissioners to either investigate er arbitrate. This policy upon the part of railroads is shortsighted and the end luings retribution and disas ter. They have no right to take property w ithout just ccmpedsation; thy can not in tha end avoid the law govern ing common carriers, nor can they long construe it to compel the con signee to deliver goods upon their own terms. Might does net, nor necer trill make right in this country. YV e notice bv the Council lUufl Xonparei! that the Council IJiufis & Northern railroad is an assured fact. ur readers will recollect that but a X. -i . t ir c cays ago, ine iikkai.u gave an account ot a public meeting ot ciM- zen.s of Council Bluffs with the agent of the Uiagt.ual; since that date the .

We have, during tho past two years, had several conversations with prominent railroad contractors, who called attention to the feasibility and great, utsiraouiiy ot a road running southwest from I'lattsmouth, into middle Kaiuas, either as a feeder to t he B. & M. and C. B. & Q. or as an independent line to connect with some main line, tc be built northeast through luwa; theso gentlemen pre. dieting that ultimately, nuch a rail road would be I uilt. The Diagonal coming to I'iatUinouth has the right to cross the U. It. bridge here, and thus it will find prepared for it a crossing into Nebraska. The IIki:ai.i desire to call the attcutiou of Messrs. b itzgcrabi; Ciibhing and other ot Ne-brat-ka'4 enterprising and reliable railroad builders, to this enterprise. DAYII) DAVIS' ANXIETY.
