STATC CJOVEIIXJIUA'T.
From tho Omaha Jlejiiillican we
Iarn t!i;it the juf?i!jh of S:me Gov
trutnem i being fully c'iscu sed by t!:e
members of both h'-u-: es of die I.'.-girla-ture.
It may be that tome pat tii sect
lhre by the people t renmcnl iLem
lire aii.xiuus to immortalize themselves ;
in framing a Constitution, and it is
mora than probable, from what we learn
from our friends at Omaha, that the
fiercest advocates of tha measure have
visions of tenaturships and sich before
them; but we know positively that this
county will cast a sweeping majority
arjaiiiit their action if a Constitution is
framed and submitted to them. While
our citizens have scarcely forgotten the
unanimity the vote against State
organization a li tis over a year ago, it
looks very silly for gentlemen nho were
tout to the legislature by them, since
then, to aisume the right of acting on
n q-ieMion totally foreign to the purpose
for which they were tlected. Should
the Legislature commit itself on this
jriestioa, we predict a rebuke from the
people that will warn them against ever
allowing themselves to be bamboozled
ly certain political trickle rs in the fu
ture. As the friends cf State Government
we would like to tee our representa
tives petition Congress for an "enabling
act," and we would have the memorial
ask for such grants as would render
our availing ourselves thereof incum
bent. We do not countenance the in
decent and undignified hate with
which certain panics have been trying
to force this question before the people.
The course pursued is better calculated
to kill the movement than advance its
success. If the people think the time
is approaching or has arrived when they
thould relieve the General Government
and assume the responsibilities of the
government of Nebraska, let us first
procure a liberal "enabling act" from
Congress, and let a convention, to frame
a constitution, be called by the people,
the expenses of which shall be borne
by the General Government, and then,
wo ran have a convocation of gentle
men, seat by the people to act for jhern
in this tu'jasure, who will be fully in
structed in the views their respective
constituents hold in the question at is
sue. To do otherwise i, in our opin
ion, to betray the best interests of the
people, by taking advantage of the po
tition hold by earh member of the Leg
islature, and will certainly conduce to
the defeat of the measure. Our opin
ion on the propriety of organizing a
State has already been expressed, and
in udditijn to the arguments already
used, we think, in view of the uncer
tainty of "gocd times" continuing, ind
the strong probability that exists at pres
ent of a financial cruis approaching,
which will render money exceedingly
scarce, it i3 all important that we acl
discreetly and net rush ourselves itto
difficulties that will burden the people
with taxation and State debts.vhich will,
for a long time in the future, cramp
their efforts at individual prosperity.
CI TV TAXES.
It has been suggested to us ly a
prominent citizen of this city, and an
extensive property holder, that our of
fices of city assessor and city treasurer
should be abolished. We are inclined
to favor the plan, and believe it would
work to the advantage of property
holders as well as the city government.
Let the city council make the levy for
city taxes acd place it in th hands of
the county clerk, who would incorporate
it in the tax list on the same basis as
the school fund, or oilier specific tax.
This would save the city a heavy ex
expense, and would prevent an im
mense amount of litigation. Under the
present mode, one person claims prop
erty by virtue of having paid the county
tax, and another ctie ilaims it by virtue
cf having paid the city tax. If the en
tire tax was collected by one individual,
there would be none of this trouble.
Many persons pay up their county tax
and do not seem to remember thai a
city tax is to be paid; when, if tht;
whole amount was collected by the
County Treasurer they would at once
be reminded of it. Should our citizens
favor this suggestion, it would be well
to take immediate steps to accomplish
the change. Let us have the views cf
some of our principal men upon it. .
tZ& No less than S00 persons have
applied for a share ia the rewards of
fered for the capture of the assassina
tion conspirators.
A COALITION OF IM'CISESTS.
We have endeavored, so far, to labor i
for the benefit cf the entire Territory,
notwithstanding other points and other
papers have done all that was possible
for them to do to crush out the spark of
this place, because they feared it would
some day become a consuming flame
and devour them. We have endeavor
ed to show and think we have clearly
demonstrated i: that the location of
the main trunk of the Pacific Railroad
on the 'Republican, running thru' Col
orad , was of vast importance to Ne
braska" as a whole. Uut when Omaha
and Nebraska City see that this loca
tion would in some way work to the in
terests of rhttsmouth, they immediate
ly join issue, after having fought each
other ever since they were first settled,
in order that they may defeat the fair
prospects of our city. Nebraska City,
at least should be careful how she takes
a stand that is calculated to work an in
jury to any portion of the South Platte
country, or she may find that there is
a power in the land that can counter
balance any effort she can make, and
that other portions of the Territory, be
sides Omaha and Nebraska City, can
form a coalition. We make the follow
ing extract from an able article on this
subject in the Brownville Advertiser of
the ISth inst. :
This is a vital matter to Brownville
and to this Land District. Omaha has
already a road West; l'lattsmouth has
a road terminating there from the Last,
the most feasible, best and cheapest
route west, ensuring her, beyond doutt.
a connecting road up the Platte Valley,
l'lattsmouth is about twenty miles below
Omaha. Now, Nebraska City only
about thirty miles below l'lattsmouth
i3 trying for a grant for a road west.
Ajax says "from Gov. Saunders down
to the smallest toad in the puddle," at
Omaha, all are in favor of such a grant
to Nebraska City. If this be so, it is
to Hank l'lattsmouth, and will if sue
cessful flank this Land District most
completely. Congress will not make
grants for railroads to every twenty
five miles of river front in this Terri
tory. Tho route from Piattsmouth is
the most natural from the Missouri riv
er, which must be conceded in time,
and a road built. Heretofore Nebraska
City and Omaha have always been at
"dagger's points,"' and if this coalition
is brought about, we warn Omaha that
she is stabbing her best friend, the Ne
maha Laud District. And if legislation
be asked for to further such a selfish
coalition of interests, the Representa
tives from this District should join hands
with Piattsmouth and see her through.
THE "SIESOL'StCES EXHAUST
ED." There was a party, a few years ago,
that clamored loudly for "exhausting all
the resources of statesmanship." The
tail end of that party has got control of
the Nebraska Legislature, and we
judge that the "resources" are about
"exhausted." We find the following
among the Legislative proceedings on
the lS.h inst,, published in the Omaha
Ikrald:
Mr. Maxon, Chairman of the Com
mittee (of the democratic members)
made a report upon hasty Legislation,
which had been referred to the said
Committee; said repoitconsisting of the
leading editorial from the People's Press
of January th, against Gen. Heath's
claim to a sent in the Legislature.
Pending a motion to adopt the report,
the House adjourned.
This is evidently intended as a good
joke on tho Press, and would take first
rate in a bar-room; but when perpetra
ted by a "statesman," and published to
the world as a part of the Legislative
proceedings, it looks like their "resourc
es" were pretty nearly "exhausted."
GEOLOGICAL SLIiVEV.
Yes; by all means, let us have a geo
logical survey cf the Territory; or at
ieast such portions of it as are believed
to contain valuable deposits. Not such
an one as Sol Miller speaks of, "a mnn
riding about the country in a carriage,
telling every farmer that there is 'iie
on his land," but one that will do us
some good. We believe that a few
thousands spent in this way would be
of more benefit to the country than a
State government. What do the people
think?
OL'It STAMJIXG.
The report cf the Territorial Audi
tor shows that Cass county returns the
valuation of entered lands, capital in
vested in merchandise, manufactures,
moneys and credits, value of stock and
vehicles, at SI ,512,706; while Douglas
county, in which is the city of Omaha,
returns on the same property the amount
of 81,603.5-52; and Otoe county, in
which is Nebraska city, 81,743, 169.
This exhibit shows Cass to have only
SlS0,li6 less property ihan Djugl is,
and S230.7G3 less than Otoe. When
we take into consideration the defer
ence between the amounts invested in
merchandise in riattsmouth and the
cities of Omaha and Nebraska City, it
will be readily sen that Cass is by far
the wealthiest agricultural county of the
three. The country surrounding ouf
city is far in advance of the town,
which we look upon as of - the greatest
importance, especially in the west;
while Omaha and Nebraska City, must,
of necessity, from this showing, be in
advance of the country in which they
are located. . We deem it of vital im
portance to the prosperity cf a western
town that the coun'ry should be at least
equally advanced with u. if not a little
ahead. What would b- the result
should the transient trade and "outside'
pressure be removed from our neigh
bors (which we h"pe may tu v'er be the
case). Have they any home resources
that would warrant even a continuance
of their present dimensions and import
ance? On the other hand, while Plaits
mouth does neaily or qwi'e as much
freighting as either Omaha or Nebras
ka City, she has not reached that "gid
dy height" from which she would be
liable to be precipitated by any sudden
change in her commercial prospects for
the future. If our neighbors would
look more to developing atid settling up
the country around them' do more for
the farmer and let the tow n rest a lr.tle
while they might soon occupy the en
viable position that l'lattsmouth does.
But it is said that gamesters become so
infatuated that they cannot quit their
play, even after "luck' has turned
against them; and we suppose the same
rule holds good with men who have
"New Chicago" on the brain. It would
not be a matter of surprise to u, how
ever, to see some of the towns in Ne
braska begin to "double up" pretty soon
to try to kep even with Piattsmouth.
THE IACllTlc"lSA ILIiOAW.
The Press, of Nebraska City, in its
issue of the 19:h inst., still adheres to
its position that the location of the main
trunk of this road in the valley of the
Republican would be injurious to the
interests of Nebraska. The editor
forgets just this little iiiatter: The roads,
or branches, on the north and south,
are part of an equilateral'triangle, with
the Missouri for a base; and necessarily,
any line which would bisect this triin
gle from its apex to its base, would be
shorter than the subtending lines and
"that's what's the matter."
JSF" The editors of the Richmond
Examiner and Enquirer recently met
in the hall of ths Representative cham
ber, whilst the house was in session,
and fired six shots at each other! No
one was hit, however. It is to be re
gretted that the editors in Richmond are
not belter marksmen.
John II. Surratt, the conspira

fSf" An exchange si.ys: "There is
an editor in Wayne county. Indiana,
'whose oath would not c nvict a weasel
of robbing a hen-roost, if found in the
coop with blood in his mouth.'" Ten

RmS" A country exchange" speaking
of preparations which suould be made
for the shelter of animals during the
winter, says: "Make a kennel for your
dog, or shoot him, we djn't care which.
Do not omit these duties to the brutes
around you."
JjjST A magnetic ha ok lock has re
cently been invented by a man named
Sargeant. It is without key or key-hole,
and forms in itself one of the mechan
ical curiosities of the age. It is claimed
to be the only one in the world which
is perfectly free from "feeling" from
the outside. When locks cannot befell
from the outside, it is impossible to pick
them.
Washington, Jan. 19. Senate

Gonseales Farandez for the murder of
Oleso was concluded yesterday; he was
found guilty of murder ia the first de
gree, and remanded fcr sentence.
The prisoner has, all through the
trial, preserved an unmoved and mauly
appearance. On the last day of the
trial he looked haggard and anxious,
bu: betrayed no sign of weakness or
fear. During thp summing up of the
counsel for the prosecution, now and
then he turned and f a' ed him, on these
occasions he seemed rather anxious and
turned his eyes in another direction.
When the jury retired, he went attend
ed -by the cflicer to a corner of the
court room, close by the open window
and seemed to ej y the winter scenery.

est advices state that he was preparing
for active movements.
President Johnson's Message had
been received at the city of Mexico
with a feeling of relief that war was
not to be made immediately upon the
Imperial government.
The Vera Cruz papers regard the
outbreak of hostilities between the Uni
ted States and France as inevitable, and
otdy a question of time.
New York, Jan. 19. The Herald's
Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
17th, says that Rev. Wm. C. Blount,
pastor of Diuwiddie Methodist church,
was on the ItJth probably fatally shot.
The supposed assassin is a negro nam
ed Eliett.
New York, Jan. 19. The Herald's
Toronto dispatch says Gen. Sweeney's

New York, Jan. 20. The Herald's
Washington special says telegraph
dispatches of the IS h inst. from Gen.
Sheridan at New Orleans, disavow all
knowledge on his part of the filibus
tering attack on Bagdad, and stale that
his orders to subordinate oiTicers have
been to preserve a strict neutrality.
He disbelieves the report.
New York, Jan. 20. A Browns
ville correspondent gives the full official
correspondence between Gen. Weilzel
and Gen. Megia, Imperial commander
at Matamoras. and Gen. Crawfor, the
American Gen. of' the Mexican Re
publican army, in relation to the Re
publican prisoners condemned at Mafia
moras to be shot in accordance with
Maximillian's deeree for the execution
of all those found in arms against his
forces. Gen. Weitzel, in the name of
his government, protested against this
barbarity, and Gen. Mejia responded
that it was a matter in which the Amer
icans had no right to interfere, and that
the execution of the decree must be
proceeded with. To another letter of
Gen. Weitzel's, in which, in accord
ance with Gen. Sheridan's instructions,
he informs Majita that in his future
correspondence with our officers he
must style the Americans as Republi
cans, not bandits. The Imperial Gen.
again reports what he considers foreign
dictation, and replies that all future
communications of a similar nature will
remain unanswered. It is rumored
that Mejia is to be superceded at Mat
amoras. The preparations of Gens. Escabado
and Crawford for another attack on
Matamoras continue, but the Imperial
ists have greatly strengthened its de
fences since the previous assault, and
they aver the latter officers' efforts to
raise men in Texas for Juarez do not
tseem to meet with success.
It is suspected Juarez has a nice fi
nancial speculation in hi eye which
can be greatly subserved Ly the capture
of Matamoras, and which is thought to
be much dearer to him than the Mexi
can Republic.
The Imperialists are reported to be
preparing fcr a new and vigorous cam
paign in the north.
New York, Jan. 22. The World's

Several prominent Fr nch officers,
direct from the Maximillian government
'u Mexico, parsed ihrmu. h the Ca citol ,
On ilicir wT to l rnnos, find gave I1V.-
tering accounts? of the Imperial pros
pects, without giving specific details.
Coi respondents of San Franci-co pa
pers represent the operations of ihe
?Iexican Republicans in the north
western section of their country, as still
carried on with great energy and per
severance. Gen. O'Gazson, commander of the
department of Jalarsco, who was some
time ago in this city, was to leave San
Francisco on the beginning of this
month, for Guadalajora, the capital of
his State, having the authority and
means to raise a force there to take the
field agaii.st the Imperialist?.
Gen. Alvarez was still encamped
near Acapulico, and had possession of
all the surrounding country, and was
keeping such a close watch on the Im
perial troops garrisoning the town thai
none of them ventured ouuide of it on
land; all their supplies had to come to
them by sea from a distance. The en
tire country from Acapulco to within a
short distance of the city of Mexico is
said to be in possession of the Repub
licans. Late Mexican papers publish protests
of the soldiers of the Belgian Legion,
in Maximillian's service, made prison
ers by the Republicans, against the
Emperor's order decreeing the death of
all Republican prisoners, and particu
larly against one case of its barbarous
execution by Col. Mendez. one of the
Imperial officers, who caused to be shot
immediately a number of Republicans
whom he captured. One cf these pro
tests is addressed to Maximillian, and
the other to the representatives of the
Belgian cation. The protestants say
they did not come to Mexico to fight
in this iniquitous way. but as an escort
to a princess of their country, Carlntta,
and ihat having been forced into acive
service, their lives are now placed in
jeopardy by the execution of the bar
barous Imperial decree, they being li
able to suffer should the Republicans
retaliate.
New York, Jan. 22. The World's
Berlin correspondent records the prev
alence of a panic in the Prussian capi
lab, second only to that caused by the
appearance of cholera. The trichine
disease is a new and terrible malady,
ravaging Prussia, and of those attacked
by it at least 22 per cent, have died
horrible deaths. Surgeons trace the
origin of the malady to a worm that
attacks pigs, and as the Germans are
essentially a pork eating people, and
prefer their food only partially cooked,
the new scourge has utterly disarrang
ed their habits and caused a feeling of
intense alarm to pervade all classes.
New York. Jan. 22. A. T. Stew
art libdl case came up at the tombs po
lice court yesterday afternoon. Seve
ral prominent citizens were examined,
whose testimony went to show that from
reading the article in the Police Ga
zette they were led to believe that Mr.
Stewart was the rerion referred to.
The case was referred without argu-1
ment. Judge Dowling stateu that it
he wished to hear any argmuenuon the
case he would give twenty-four hours
notice to the respective counsel.
"New York, Jan 23. The following
announcement is made by Mr. H. D.
Phelps, agent of the Columbia Marine
Insurance Company: The board of di
rectors of the. Columbia Marine Insur

vere and unprecedented losses the past

stated on the streets yesterday that the
liabilities of ihe company would reach

been lost through the depredations of
the Anglo-rebel pirate Shenandoah.
The losses accruing from this tource
