t.-r. yisr.r.K. rrtirnrQ 'J. L. COLIlAFP.f LlMl1'. UROWNVILLE, THURSDAY, FER, pl, 1SG4. ''. Ia' perilous times like these it t3 well nctltylose eigLt of any old cr new land limk. As the word loyalty in cur form of Government must m?an an adher ence to the law and the constituted .an- thonties, it is well to pay attention to the proclamations' or instructions emi fcatihgfrorh an acthorative source. We believe- in being loyal no farther than Abraham. Lincoln, his Cabinet, and Con gress are or dictate ; beliereing that every 'step beyond lhat is a pernicious usurpa tion and disloyal, because its effect must be to weaken confidence in the constituted authorities and strengthen usurpation. 'If we believe that any law, proclamation or treaty is wrong in effect or icudmcy, jt is our duty to obey, and our privi lege to correct through the ballot-box or public opinion, but not by wresting the power from the lawful authorities. In this connection we would reprint for the benefit of those over-zealous ones ,ia our county a few extracts from the President's instructions to Gen. Shofit-lJ, given. from Washington, D. C, Oct. 1st, 1663: . - . . " 'Our immediate duty now is to 1 -vri!pH npeniri there to lave one another alone." j VSo far as practicable, you will, by rneans of your military force exepl guer rillas, marauders, and all who ire known to harbor, aid or abet them. But in like . inanner you will repress assumptions of unauthorized individuals to perform the .fame service, because, under pretence of doing this, they become marauders and tnurderers themselves." i-'. 4To now restore peace, let the military obey orders; and those net of the mili tary leave each other alone, thus Dot breaking the peace themselves." Thus it will be seen what the views jLnd .instruc.ions of the President were in- regard to restoring peace ; ancL they 'thould have. still stronger force when ap plied to oursituation. We have peace now under the law ; this is what we desire. Yfe do cot wish to make it necessary to i hare a military force quartered here ' .to teach us loyalty, nor do we believe it ever ; will . be necessary. There is still Irue loyalty enough to back the officers of the law in arresting and bringing to justice all criminals whatever. We kcow not whether to consider the I I T 1 - . .. 4 many testimonials oy legislatures ami Conventions . throughout the country in favor of Mr. Lincoln's re-nomination, uf much estimate or not. They may em inatefrom one of two sources which will materially affect our opinion of them. If " .they are wires laid by designing politi cians, we like them not; but if the ema nations of an hsnest conviction that so far he has done the best that could be done under" the circumstance?, and is best calculated to carry oa the war, we are glad to see them. There- will be time enough before the election to test this, And even if they are the efferves cence of the popularity of Mr. Lincoln, one false step on his part may turn the tide of popular feeling in another direc tion. In to-day's paper appears a communi cation from Judge Sanders. We claim the privilege to, and will always, venti late any communication we detm proper. This we hope will assist to "dry up" this business ere it becomes a lore to our readers. s - We believo he 13 correct with regard ,to the Contatle and Sheriff having done "their duty. His having charged the costs Up to the plaintiff the Territory of Ne braskaand not against the witness, is ,ho correct. If law is "common-sense" sad weclaim to poss-ess a "small dab" of that useful article we must confess to. not being able -to -see the justice cf this proceeding. We here give an ex- iron frnm iKr dorLpt of this case, in l A W k "-"-' , which it will "be een an ."execution" is awarded against the Territory: , . ?!:'"It is therefore the judgment cf the -luSUCC Uitil Wf:y . voiiti m7 ttiiwuui vi S4..C0 as costs of fcuit and that the plain tiff pay the same ami that'they have er ecuticn." ' ' ' " ' ' ' Who are "they" and what will "they" leVy oa belonging to the "plaintiff." r He charges that Dr. M'Pherson form ed a "component part" of a mob "to ex pell rebels from -our midst." What does he ciean by "component part," if he de fires to insinuate that the Doctor was in favor cf what was done m the case of a Mr. -Arnold in our town, cr Mr. Clark in the bottom above town, it is a mean in sinuation, for the simple fact and' we can prove it he knew of; the Doctor' position before he handed us the comma-' juration, which was to act throjgh -the lawful authorities. ' We can easily slate the differences" that he is so cnxicas to I know: the acts of "mobocracy" in wimu te 'mention the Doctor, the ' "Probate j J- Lzi Coty 'Clerk" and u;Ur, j were but searches made for evidence of the existence of the Knight3 of the Gold en Circle : no violence was used, and no one "intimidated." ' While, in the latter case : a man and his wife were - driven from their hemes, their lives threatened, and they forced tu walk in deai of win ter, through the'snow, and at midnight, to Crownville, for safely, leaving their chil dren to the teed er mercies cf those who had nought to take the father's life ; and under the same roof lived the wife of a Union soldier, now in the field, whose prepe rty wa3 damaged "with the rest. And farther, in broad daylight, in Erewnville, was the crime committed which forced thi3 affair upon our attention, the man whom this mob forced to leave his heme was chased through our streets by onu of the same gang with a revolver; and on the 20ih they tackled' him. and avowed their intention of killing him ; and they were only prevented after they had tcost outrageously beat him ly the in terff rence of Dr. McPbarson and others. These are the cases in which he a Jus tice of the Peace want 3 to know 'the difft-rence in criminality"! He throws out a very malicious slur at us thus : "I'cannot set why the people should be so extremely vigilent in the cat,a cf Mr. : Cn.twno, 6i.c If to pre vent a human being from beirg murder ed . in broad day light be "extreme vigile'nce," God grant us a "little more of the same blessing." And as to the in sinuation that this -'extreme viligence" is solely for Mr. Emmons, our articles may be scanned closely, and also the letter of Law and Order, and for every sentence or word that can be found to base such a slandrous insinuation upon we will give the finder ten dollars. We like the Judge's "position" much, but think he must have mistaken himself for the criminals ; the whole tenor of his article appears to be an apology for the crime committed on the 20ih, by bring ing up other acts which he dems crimi nal, and wishes to know why there was not as much public indignation manifested at the acts of diverse committees trying without force or intimidation to gather from sucpected men evidence of the ex tence of theKnigh'sof the Golden Circle; and the attempt at murder in broad day light in the streets cf 'our County Seat. We leave our readers to judge of the dif ference in "'momentous magnitude." As to being allowed to "conduct his own affairs in his own way," we like that Squatter Sovereignty for a private citi zen, but so soon as we admit its applica tion, to public officers we loss the "heri tage of freemen.". As much as you may " desire it, we can't afford to. The Nevada Constitution is probably rejected. At Carson Ciiy there were five hundred and eight votes puled, giv ing one hundred and sixty-two majority bainst the. constitution. Other cities voted against it. This is the result of taxing the mines in the Territory. . EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. " Omaha, N. T., Feb. 3d, 1834. Mr. Coluapp: As has usually been the case during past sessions of the Leg islature, more than half the session has passtd away, yet but few bilfs have passed both Houses and been signed by the Gorerncr." The fact is it requires nearly or quite forty days to get any law through the Legislative body. The following are all the arts that have yet been signed by the Governor: An act to change and define the bounda ries of Hall county ; an act to repeal an act requiring the sale of cast iron belong ing to the Cpitol; an act to apportion the Councu uistricts of Nebraska, and an act 10 apportion the House districts of Nebraska. The new apportionment, gives seren members of the Coancn south of the Platte, and six north of the Platte. " It lives 23 members of the House south cf the Piatte river, and 16 north of said river. Taking the last census as a basis, or taking the last vote, or the vote of any prtcceding year, as a basis, after giving each county all the "full meuiber" they are entitltd to, there are in almost every county fractions unrepresented. Where these frattiuus are nearly full,- of course a m-tnber is given. Where several counties lie together, each having frac tions, after giving them theil representa tion of full members, a "float" can be iven to those counties. But still there will be counties with fractions of .their population unrepresented, Nemaha is ona of these. After giving her one full Councilman and four: members of tha House, there is still a fraction of the population unrepresented, both in the Council and .in the House. 13ut it, was found to be almst impossible to so com bine counties for a fioat, without making a float between Nemaha and certain counties north of the Piatte river,- or others equally distant. There are other counties that lose as much as Nemaha. Otoe, for instance, has more than a full member, less than she i.$ entitled to... It was thought best for the river counties, that had large; representation in-: the Legislature, to -concede something, to more western counties that are now rapidly fiilirg tp, and have-e.s yet but little or no representation. There ..is, ho wever, one provision in the new ap- north of the Platte, boiure they , would support it, which I do not l.ke. It limits it to two years, and provides that asses sors eh-Jl make an enumeration of the inhabitants of the Territory as a I isis for a new apportion meat... 'But it provides that should there be a failure from any cause whatever, either from the assessors in failing to make.a full enumeration, or from the Legislature, by the factions op position of any cf its rneraben, then the present apportionment will be revived. : There ia a new Revenue- bill cow be fore the Council. It was prepared with with great care by" a ' member ef tke Omaha bar, with especial reference to the circumstances and wants cf the Ter ritory. It has passed through the Judi ciary Committee of the Council, in which it received several amendments. In Committee of the whole to-day it was so amended as to provide that a road tax of 63.00 be levied on each quarter section land. No other provision is made (except a poll tax of SI ) , for a road fund. Tnis tax, if properly collected, will raise I II- ft 4 a a middling large road tund, and tnere are provisions thrown around it that will to a great extent prevent the frauds and delinquencies that formerly occurred when this law 'was in force. I suppose this provision will pass the House, though there are a portion of-lha mprnkowwr tnur.ri opposed to it. .The farmers all over the Territory, as near as I can as certain, are generally in favor of it, though why, I cannot very well under stand. Take Nemaha county, for instance. This tax will raise a fund of about $3,000. An advance tax of two and a half mills to the dollar on all taxable property would raise about the same sum, and would not be half so heavy on farmers. It is true noH-residents would not pay quite , so much ; but rich farmers with improved , farm es, merchants, bankers, teamsters and freighters, who are' more interested in good roads and bridges than most of the land-holders, would bear a share of the burden. With the S3 tax every poor man who owns a quarter sec tion of land must pay in money or labor C-3, although he may have no other prop erty, and may be in debt for his land. His rich neighbor may have $o,00Q worth of improvements on his quarter section ; he may.alsa have a hundred freight wagons, and a thousand oxen that tavel the road and break down the bridges ; he may, in addition; Iperhas' loan .land warrants with an interest of five per cent per month, or he may be a merchant and may "aifin" fne poor farmer to a hundred times the extent that non-resident land holders do, yet he only pa's S3 road tax With an ad valorem tax, sufficient to raise $3,000 in our county, a quarter section of land would not be taxed more that $2 when lying on the Missouri river, and only $1 if a few miles west from the river. But for the sake of "skinning" non residents, makiny them pay in op position to the spirit of the Organic Act, relatively more than their share, we are, many of us, willing and anxious to be skinned ourselves. We are like the man who consented to lose both his eyes on condition that his enemy should lose one eye. . .There are many imptrtant law3 under consideration. A herd law . is a good deal talked of, i but I think nb general retaining law, can pass this winter. The members, like their constituents, have so many ; opinions on the subjects, and the interens of different localities conflict so much that it is difficult to frame any law that would not work great hardship to some body. It isdouDtfiil whether public opin ion is yet prepared for so radical a revo lution as a general herd law would pro duce. There is a bill before the House, granting the right to the people of Ne maha and Otoe counties to vote in each precinct as to whether they will herd . I . .1 . mi meir came .or not. inere are serious objections to this mode of disposing of this vexed question. But perhaps it is the best .that, can be done. There are localities - in Nemaha that - need a re- straing law, where the people would un doubtedly vote for it. There are other neighborhoods in which the people think they would be seriously injured by any herd law, and of course they can vote against it. Most peg pie, if the law passes, can have a herd la.v or not, just as they choose; but the trouble will be along the dividing lines of such precincts They say, however, that in the northern and western counties of the Territory, where they have a herd law in some pre cincts and not in others, that it works well, and produces little confusion. Mr. Mason introduced into'th Council, and Dr. "Jiice into the House, bills to amend the code of .civil.'procedure,- so as to allow negroes and Indians to give tes timony in courts of justice. This amend ment will undoubtedly pa?. There is no civilized country in the world, except this, where any class of . rational beings are excluded from givinqr evidence. The exclusion of intelligent-negroes, mulattos and Indians or half-breeds from giving testimony, is the result of a wicked pre judice. It is injustice, not only to the parties excluded, but frequently to white mtri. . If .'a" white man. kills another in the presence of a dozen black men, mu lattos or Indians, he cannot be convicted pa their evidence. No matter how much a man may hate either, negroes or Indi ans, his respct for justice should be suf ficient to impel him to grant them jus lice in this respect." ; .: - i Ther is, as usual, a good deal of special legislation this session. The most impornnt is a bill for chartering a company toVridge Elk Horn, Platte river, and the Noih Fork or. tne riatte river. . Valdr5, Abx., Dec. 27.

Sir: In looking over your paper of the 5th inst., I notice an article from a certain Doctor of this place, signing himself Law and Order, in which he proposes to give the people of this county a statement of - what actually transpired in a certain case of momentous magnitude in the city Brownville re cently. . . Now, sir, 'as the Doctor has failed in some . material particulars, I propose to make a few corrections. First, then, one Mr. Rains, while a prisoner, attacked one Mr. Emmons with revolver in hand, ran him round the building, &.c, in the presence of Justice, Constable and citizens, none of whom in terfered. Now, sir, the facts are: there was no Justice present, the Constable did interfere and restored order as soon as any officer could have done. Asfot what the citizens did or did. not do I know or care nothing. As far as Mr. Rain's sec ond offense is concern, I know nothing, being out of the Territory at the time, but am fully satisfied, from authenticated authority that the Sheriff done his whole duty in trying to procure the person of whom he was in quest. . The Doctor has discovered a creat bugerboo in the proceedings in the judg ment rendered. Certainly Doctor you forgot your "specks" when you came down to examine our docket, for it does not nor never did read as you state in your communication. ' Better come and look at it again and see for yourself what it does say before you publish to the world such misrepresentations. It says the costs rendered against the plaintiff and not the witness. Quite a difference Doctor. - , As far as Mr. Kennedy was concerned appearing in behalf of the defendants and adviser of the Court, &c, I do not know anything' about, as neither Mr, Kennedy or Dr. McPherson were present at the time cf trial. Tiey both appear ed sometime after, and thoroughly borci the court and all present with a prolonged debate on the State of the country, even to such an extent tbaj all had to suspen) for the day, and most of us resort to places of better entertainment. In reply to the Doctor's affectionate appeal to the people to rally round the standard of Law and Order, I would simply ask him this question: What is the great difference m criminality be tween -the riot on the' 20th inst., above Brownville, and a similar' lawless 'mob only a few months ago for a similar pur pose to expell rebels from our midst of which' he was a component part? Where is the law, Doctor, that justified youi the Probate Judge, the County Clerk and other officials and citizens in your actoi mobocracy then ? Also, many other acts of mobocracy both suffered by and participated in by some of our citi zens, whichT can and will, if necessary, mention, which have transpired within our county unnoticed and uncared for. Now, Mr. Editor, I refer to the above eases hoping to draw out an explanation of what is the momentous importance of, and vait difference between, this and similar cases which have transpired in the sight of and encouraged by some of the same person who have had so much to say of late. I cannot see why the people should be so extremely vigilent in the case of Mr. .Emmons, when it is a known fact all over the country that Ne maha county always has been a very un healthy climate fo men of' like reputed proclivities. .. . . The difference between my position and some who now clamor so loud for Law and Order is just this: that while they one "day patronize mobocrcy and the next cry Law, Order, Teace; I always have denounced inobocracy and upheld the supremacy of the law, from the birth of rebeldom. While they uphold mob ocracy in one in3tanc!e, and denounce it publicly to the world in another; I con demn it in every instance and under, all circumstances. .While you ire now so ready to stigmatize officials, I atn willing to allow others what I claim for myself, the privilege of conducting my own affairs in my own way. Wonder if everybody in this enlightened community has had the privilege of .reading the old maxim which says : the better policy is for every man to mind his own business. Now, Mr. Editor, "having permitted myself to be led' somewhat by the im pulse of my own feelings, I have said "more already than I expected to, an! fnr lear your readers may get in the same dilemma in reading this, I did in hear ing on the 30th insl, I hasten to close by saying that so long as I hold myself re sponsible for what I say I shall sign my self! , D. C. SANDERS. Feb. lhh, 1SG4. .Ma. Editor: Since I handed you the above communication, I find that the statement therein made in regard to Dr. MTherson having taken part with a mob, a few months since, in driving certain persons from our county, are incorrect. I am now satisfied that he opposed the samp, and did nothing illegal in referrence to that affair. As it is now too late to with draw the above article, and I do not wish to misrepresent any one, I deem it but just to make this statement. . . D, C. Saxdxhs.
