STATE AM) TAXES.
The bugbear, and the principal ob
jection to State organization, in this
Territory, is '-fear of increased taxa
tion." Let men look with unprejudi
ced mind upon this question, and let
them bear in mind thai every mile of
railroad luilt gives us 3,200 acres of
land, and at ihe minimum Government
price cf $1,2.5 per acre S1000, whil
.the road proper is estimated in a
other Stales to be worth S5C.000 per
tnilo including rolling stock, machine
shops, Depots, and Way-stations, &,c
We put these figures very low, so that
our readers may understand that there
is no desire whatever to Hind or decieve
thein. Thus we have for each mile
.54,000, and before the Legislature
c juld meet, on the 4th day of July uext
there wi'l be one hundred miles of
road finished; giving an amount of
property subject to taxation of 85,400,
030, which at a tax of nine mills on
the dollar would yield a revenue of
829,160. In one year from the meet
ing of our first Legislature, anether
one hundred miles would be completed
and then the aggregate capital of the
Union Pacific Railroad subject to laxa
lion would be doubled, as would al
be the revenue, which alone would be
more than sufficient to defray all the
expenses of State Government. Let
every citizen of Nebraska a'so bear in
mind that two more railroads will tra
verse tha country ns far as ihe 100-1
meridan ; one from Kansas, which wi!
tap our Territory -arly next sprin
and the other from Plaitsmouth. These
roads will give an aggregate of six hun
dred miles in distance in the Territory
by the time they reach the 100th ineri
dan; to which add three hundred miles of
the main trunk from the l00;h meridan
to the western bouiiilary of Nebraska
and we have nine hundred miles of
railroad, worth to the Territory in
axes 8:262,440 annually. These fig
ures are all lower than Assessors wi!
place them ; but we put them thus low
purposely to show our readers what
awaits us, as a State, even in railroad
interest alone. Let our honest think
ers ponder over this matter, and quit
this senseless blowing about Taxes.
We have every thing to gain and noth
ing lose, and tnat individual who
votes against State votes against hi
own interests on ihis very question, for
we cannot as a Territory tax any of
the property mentioned, while as
State it is all subject to taxation.

Hurrah for Colorado! The Senate
.as acted upon the reconsideration of
the former vote on the Bill to admit
Colorado, and as will be seen by our
despatches; the Bill has passed that
body by a handsome majority. The
House will, we are assured, pass favor
lly upon it also, and the only stumb
ling block in the way to prosperity for
our Western Sister, will be the ruling
passion, strong in spite of adversity,
which the National Executive may or
may not exercii?. We hope His Ex

the nation imperrilled by the admission
of Colorado, but that he will cheerfully

JOHN GILLLSITK.
Auditor.
The above letter from cur worthy
Auditor merits the attention of every
tax-payer in the Territory.
The total value of taxable property
in the Territory is S13. 146,965.00. and
the total tax S78.SS .69, and to tin's
total tax add 845.000 from the United
States for Legislative expenses, and
we find that it costs in, as a Territory,
nearly 8124,000 to run the m ichinery
of Government. The great objection
of many honest men is that if we be
come a State we lose the 845,000,
which they say, must necessarily come
out of the pockets of the people. Let
us see if this is so. At a tax cf six
mills it would require 87,500,000 to
raise 845,000. Now then, 200 miles
of railroad is wonh at ihe lowest fi
ures S10,S00,000 so that it is plain to
any reasonable man that instead of
815.000 we would gain from this source
alone 864.S00. being a surplus in favor
of adopting Slate Government cf near
ly 820,000, and this we can obtain from
foreign capital, without one additional
null being paid by our farmers, for all
the capital in our railroads is foreign.
But let'our good people bear in mind
that we cannot touch one cent of this
revenue from railroads while we are u
Territory, and that it is only by becom
ing a Slate thai we will ever realize
from it. e have pui the distance r.t
200 miles, but every senler in Nebras
ka knows that there are fully 400 miles
between Omaha and Juler-burg, and
the Union Pacific R. R. will alone fur
nish a revenue in two years of 8139,
600 to us as a State, at the lowest pos-
.-ible figures, while we cannot levy one
dime on its capital while we are a Ter
ntory. Lei us not be penny wise and
pound foolish on this question of taxes,
but let us give up ihe 845,000 at oncif,
for that will enable us lo receive 861,
300 fro in one to i d alone. The oilier
roads too, mu.-t come in for their share
of taxation, and with a State Constitu
tion that by its most liberal construciipn
d es not cost the people more than
830 000 per annum, surely we are bet
tering ourselves by becoming a State
So much more will the taxable proper
ty in the State cf Nebraska be inci eas
el over that of the Territory, that n
charily the percentage ot taxation
v i 1 1 be much smaller, and instead of
paying six mills per dollar to the Ter
ritorial Government as now, we will, as
as a State only be required to pay three
.. II - U - 1 11 . I ! .,
nuns on uie uonar to realize a;i use
money now required fr Territorii.1
jovernmen', and which is actually
more than that needed for State. Lei
very tax payer think of this and vote
ni the Constitution understanding)'
t,verv iieB car.it.ilisi in tho reiiiiuiv
understands this thing perfectly, and
hey are ail tor ivate because it saves
noney to them in laxes by btinging in
Mew capital which we cannot touch as
t Territory, but which we can and will
ax as a Slate.

Sneaker Coitax. la a Lriet response
:o a serenade ai Washington the other
evening dec.ared that-ihe true policy
of reconstruction" was that enunciated
in the speeches of the President during
the years '64 and '65, which, being
condensed, were to the effect that
"Icyal men niurt govern a preserved
Republic."
Those words will do to be inscribed
upon ihe banner or ihe great Union
party of the country as a ral.ying-cry
tor all time. It should be the mono
of the executive, of Congress, of the
Republican party at large, and of all
true patriots everywhere.
"Loyal men mut govern the Repu
blic," now and in all tun1 to come. It is
the only hope of the safety and perpet
uation of the Republic. No men who
have at any time been traitors to the
Government, or who have been the
friends of traitors, can with safely be
ntrusted with political power in the
nation. Having proved false to their
solemn allegiance once, they have for
feited forever all claims to a participa
tion in the Government. Let them be
required to take seats in the lobby,
and lei "good and the true" govern
the Union they tried to destroy and
guard the liberties they tried to sub
vert. It will be a safe a well as a right
eous "policy of reconstruction" for the
President and Congress to adhere to
and enforce when admitting, or pro
posing to admit. Representatives and
Senators from the late insurgent States
into Congress, when appointing m-n
to positions of honor or trust, and in
all the operations of the Government.
"Loyal men must govern a preserved
Republic." Let the principle be en
grafted upon the Constitution and the
laws of the country, and lei no officer
servant of ihe people ever dare to set
it aside on ttry pretense whatever.
When our brave patriot soldiers
rushed to the defense of ihe Union,
the rallying try winch animated them
was, "77e Union must and shall he
preserved ! " Arid now that it has been
preserved by the courage, fidelity,
blood and sacrifices of loyal and true
men, let the rallying cry of nil pa
triots henceforth be. -Loyal men must
govern a served Republic ! " Those
iw omottoes should forever hereafter be
our national watchwords, at the polls
or in the field, in the South as well as
in the North. This will guarantee
freedom to a free piople, loyalty to a
great and good Government, safety
and securety to ihe national common
wealth.
