hoiv cities Afir kcil.t.
Since we became a rerident of this
ciiy, we have endcavcicd faiihf ully to
atiraci attention to the place, and to
make public iis advantages for a great
city. We have, at various limes, made
fuch suggestions to our citizens as we
thought Lest calculated to advar.cs the
general prosperity and secure some
thing s-ulsiantnl in the way of trade to
the lurrn. In this we Tare had the
hearty support of most of our citizens;
tut we are sorry to say that some have
tried io"throw cold water" upon e very
thing we have suggested. This is not
done, as we believe, through any i!l
will towards the place, tut from the
one idea (which ;s as much as some
heaJscati contain at a time) of oppos
ing the Herald. We are sorry to
note that our co"emporary, the Demo
crat, is of this class, mere eipecialiy as
it should be one of the mediums through
which our town and country uiuit b
advertised. Instead of endeavoring
promote public enterprise, ana urging
neon! forward in the only course that
ever will or can make this a city of im
portance, this embodiment of intelli
gence the Democrat only endeavors
lo ridicule the idea of endeavoring to
xtend the trade of the place and in
Juce eastern capital to our town. I
order to convince the massive intellect
that presides over the Democrat that
we are not alone in the idea of "how
cities are built," we extracmhe fo.low
in? froman editorial in the .Yational
Intelligencer, and ask our neighbor lo
sucrest some better plan, if it cannot
agree with ours :
'Great cities are made by enterpris
ing men. Natural advantages may do
much, but energy and skillfully applied
capital will do more. Salem, Massa
chusetts, has as fine a harbor as Boston
and in the lait century had a monopoly
of the East India traffic; but her easy
going merchants were no match for the
energy and sagacity ever on the alert
of the wide-awake traders of the 'Hub,
and ere locg Boston absorbed both the
trade and the merchants. Newport
has. if anything, a superior harbor to
New Ycrk, but DdWiu Clinton poured
a stream of gold into Manhattan
through his "bir ditch." in which he
was backed by its far-see inn citizens
and Newport was thoroughly eclipsed
Want of enterprise condemns Norfo.k
irgmia, to a tentn rate place among
American, cities, though its magnificent
port and the fertile country around am
behind it ought Jong ago to have placed
it in the front rank. A quarter of
century ago, and no one would have
Jreamed that Indianapolis would have
become a place of much consequence-;
yet a few sagacious men, foreseeing
the importance that railways were des
lined to have in 'he future developmen
of this country, determined to make
the State Capital a riilroad centre. It
was done. The great central depot
resounds constantly with the uproar f
coining and departing: trains, and the
isolated town, with no single other rea
son why it should grow more than any
'other one of a thousand spots no more
advantageously situated, has takeu high
rank amongst the most thriving cities
of the west.
FCJflANISM.
Incitement is runningnigh in regard
no anticinaied Fenian operations. Ste
phens, the II!ad-Centre, has disappear
ed from New York, and it is reported
will turn up on the "green isle" in the
midst of a big fight. The En'gli-h
Government evidently expects an cut
break on Irhh soil, and is taking every
precaution to immediately put an end
to it. Whether it can or not is yet to
be determined. It is even reported
that fighting has already commenced,
but that needs confirmation. Another
rumor is to the effect that Stephens is
fiot en route to Ireland, but is preparing
to move into Canada. It is difficult to
determine eractly what is being done,
but without doubt, something will be
done soon The operations of the or
ganization are conducted with much
more secrecy than formerly, and they
may steal a march, on England that
will tell with some effect.
C. B. & St. Joe. R. It.
This road is progressing rapidly, and
we will soon be abla lo receive goods
within three miles of Plaitsmouth by
Ilailroad. The Council Bluffs Von

The advance guard of the Council
Bluffs & St. Joe. Road is only three
und a half miles from town. A mile of
track was laid on Wednesday, and the
tame amount yesterday. The whistle
f the locomotive can be distinctly
heard from the city. If the weather is
at all favorable, the cars will be run
liing into town next week, without fail.
This road has been pushing ahead
quietly tut s!?adily, till it is right

Tin; stiTiiA(;c-
The shell thrown by the Chicago
Times is doing its work most effectually.
The Democracy were at first struck
dumb by the boldness of the move, but
they are gradually recovering from the
first shock and seeking shelter. The
iltrald at Omaha has at last found a
tongue, and comes out in opposition to
the stand taken by the Times, and the
small fry generally are beginning la
take sides, some for and some against.
The hearxf gun of Nebraska, however,
has not yet spoken; and woe to those
that happen to be opposed to it when
it dje speak. We refr to that talent
ed concern on the corner of Main and
Third streets in this city. Should it
happen-to stand in opposition to the
Times, we doubt not the editor of that
sheet will shed tears of of
milk, when he sees what lie has to
contend wi ll. Will that "outfit" speak,
and not keep a waiting ..world longer
in suspense? We suppose politics must
be its forH, as it has nothing to say on
local affairs except to try to discourage
nil efforts to extend trade and facilitate
immigration..

Salt Creek, Nebraska

December 3d, I80G
Ed. Herald I am g'ad to see thai
you are urging that much needed public
improvement, a bridge across Platte
river. There is no other one thing
that can be done that will benefit the
whole country as much as a bridge
across this stream. As you truly say
it will do more toward allaying section
al feelings between the north and south
Platte countries than all the apportion
ments our legislature could make dur
mg the whole session.
I am sorry to see, however, that
there are those who are inclined to
throw obstacles in tire way of this
a
measure by agitating tne question ot
Icca'ion. While we of Salt Creek
would certainly like very well to have
the bridge up in our region of cotin'ry.
yet we are not so foolish as to expect
it placed en'irely out of the line -of
travel for our especial benefit, nor- do
we de.-ire to jeopardize the success of
Uhe measure by agitating a question
which can result in nothing but defear
of the whole plan Wre want to see a
bridge built, and we want to see it put
where it will best accommodata the
iravei. vvnenever travel anu traae
demands it, I, at least, have no doubt
t f trt - I . ,
another bridge can be buil wherever it
is required.
1 hope you will continue to stir this
bridge question, and thoroughly "ven
lilate" any one who is so short sighted
as lo attempt to defeat so great a good
as this bridge would prove, by trying to
have it located for his own particular
benefit, or for the benefit of any panic
ular sect. on to the detriment of the
traveling public.
Yours for tho bridge,

MEXICO.
A Washington dispatch of 29ih
Nov. says: Although no formal ofli
cial communication has been made to
this Government, there is no doubt that
information has been verbally furnished
of Napoleon's intention to remove the
French troops from Mexico at the ear
iest practical time. The arrangements
for that purpose are being in progress.
The reason why the first detachment
or one third of the troops was not em
barked in war vessels according to the
Emperor's programme is that the other
two-third might be seriously damaged
by the Liberals, who were persistently
pressing them to obviate such a result
t was deemed more prudent as a mil
itary necessity to remove them ail ' at
once.
A cable dispatch from the Minister
of State to Count Montholon states that
fourteen vessels would sail from Brest
for Vera Cruz, where the French
troops were required to rendezvous for
embarkation lo France. Ten addition
al vessels will leave by the middle of
December. By the loth of January
Mexico will be clear of all French
troops. ' ' '
The French Minister communicated
this dispatch to President Johnson and
Seward on the 2Sih ulu Frcm one
who has read it it is learned thai the;
principal reason given by Napoleon
for the delay in withdrawing the French
is that the hitler have been so severely
pressed by the Mexican forces that it
was dangerous to attempt the evacua
tion until the military situation became
easier. Ii is also learned that General
Sherman's mission to Mexico is wholly
in the character of an advisory agent
lo Minister Campbell regarding the
military status of affairs.
Certain documents are published of
ficially by Juarez's government which
throw a flood of light upon Ortega's
operations. The latter has granted the
privilege of coining Mexican money in
San Francisco to citizens of New York
Juarez being requested by some in
dividual to ratify the permission of Or
tega, promptly refused.

Congressmen at Large.
New York. Nov. 15. 1S6G
To the Editor of the jYetv York Tri
bune. Sir: On behalf myself and ma
ny others, I would ask, to what o.Hci
has John A. L.ogan Deen elected to in
Illinois? Have we any office in this
State corresponding to it ?
The act of the i!3J of May, ISoO fix
esthe number of nu mbers of Congress
at 233, who are redistrbuted among the
States after and in accordance with ev
ery decennial census. An act ot
March 4th, 1S62, increased, however,
the number of Representatives from
0?J t n Oil 1,.- o 1 ! ......in rr nra. o A A t I n I
Representative to eight States, of which
Illinois was one. 1 he number of Con
gressmen of Illinois was thus raised
from 13 to 14 Thti State Legislature
of Illinois, instead of -dividing the Stale
into 14 districts, preferred to elect only
lo iVIembers oi Congress in seperale
districts, and lo have the 14ih elected
by the whole State. This is the "Con
gressman at Large," for which cilice
(en. Logan has just received a major
ity approaching (iO.000. Illinois is the
only State in the Union which has a
Congressman at Large (not count
ing me states wnicn elect only one
Congressman. J. Y. Tribune.
ADMISSION OF NEBRASKA.
Says the Springfield (Ill's.) Journal:
It is probable that the admission ot
Nebraska will be one of the first ques
tions before Confress President John
son has. no doubt, pocketed the bill for
thit object passed at the last session,
and if the question of her admission is
therefore pa-sed upon at once, he will
have only an opponunity of vetoing the
bill, which can b) promptly overruled,
The following are nine g-ood reasons
why that Territory should immediately
become a State ;
I. Nebraska I. as been represented
seven years by a Republican delegatt
II. She has elected two Radical Re
publican U. S. Senators.
III. She has elected a Republican
member of t ongrers for the Thirty
ninth and r c rtie'h Congress
I . She has elected Republican
State officers.
V. On the second Tuesday in Octo
ber she elected a State Legislature
with a Republican majority of about
twenty-four on joint ballot.
I. She is able to adopt the Con
stitutional Amendment.
II. She can elect a successor for
six years 10 the Senator who may draw
the hort term
VIII. Her majority is 770 on ihe pop
ular vote.
IX. Her population is not far from
70 000.
The only objection made to her ad
mission the question of population be
ing met by the noca or immigration
now following lh railroad is thai the
Constitution of the State does not grant
impartial suffrage. If, as we are as
sured, there is every reason to believe
that the Legislature just elected wi
promptly take steps for an amendment
of her Lonstituiton in that respect, we
ee no reason for the continued exclu
sion of a people who 'desire and who
really need the advantages of a local
self government.
A Memphis raper fays: 'Night
afier night, affrays uccur; men are shot!

The Herald's Wast ingt.ui special
says Mr. Bartwell at a Republican cm
cus l ist nrgh', said a spt cial cammiltae
would be appointed whose duty 11 would
be to inquire into the subject of impeach
ment of the Fres dent, and his sugges
tion met with hearty co-operation of all
present.
Tbad Stevens will introduce resolu
tions at his earliest opponunity after
assembling ef Congress tor the appoint
ment of joint committee 10 investigate
the conduct and course of the President,
and report what action will be neces
sary for Congress to take. It is also
slated in Washington that Mr. Schenck
will introduce a bill soon to assemble the
40th Congress on the fifth day of
March.
The World's Washington special
says the President in his message to
Congress adheres firmly to his resto
ration policy and argues at length in
favur of immediate admison to Con
gress of duly qualified loyal representa
tives from the South Of foreign affairs
he says that with great Bntian the pro
gress towards adjustment of Alabama
claims has been slow owing in some
degree to change in British ministry
but matter look favorable. He states that
France has not yet complied with her
agreement to take her troops out of
Mexico, but has intimated a postpone
ment till Spring This Gov t. has re
monstrated, but ihe President says no
reply lias been received from the Em
peror as lo what he will do ; but a sal
isfaciory adjustment is hop.jd for.
Gen.. Sherman has merely gone to
Mexico in an advisatory capacity to
Minister Campbell.
The Message is silent on the ques
tion of a Mexican protectorate and
treaty Sec. : and it makes no allusion
to Maximillian whatever.

At the caucus of .Republican mem

soli, of Illinois, Secretary, about 73
members were present, Jlr. Thaddeus

Seuate be requested not to confirm any
appointments made during recess, nor
fill any vacancies caused by removals
for political reasons, on this resolu
- 1 t
uon tie maue a snarp speecn, ana was
followed by vigorous remarks frcm
Messrs. BoutweJl, of Mass., Kelley, of
Pa., and Darling, of N. Y.
The scope of speeches was a gener
al overhauling of ihe character of ap
pointmenta that had been made during
rece.-s, and the resolution was unani
mously adopted. Mr. Darling offered
a resolution that the Republican mem
bers of the Senate be each served wi.h
an authenticated copy of the foregoing
resolution, tins was adopted. Mr. Ste
vens joculatly remarked that notice
need not be sent to Mr. Cowan, he
would speak to him. Stevens moved
that a committee ot 10 bt appointed to
lake into consideration what measures
of legislation were necessary for im
mediate action by Congres, and that
they report at an adjourned meeting.
The following is the commute appoint
ed. Messers Steven?. Schenck. Bout
well, Alli-on, Washburn, of Illinois,
Paine, Hart, Gai field, Orth and Mo-
Kuen. Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, offered
a resolution nistrccting the above com
mittee to take into consideration the
proposition to change the law for con
vening Congress, so as lo have that
body meet at some time prior to the
first Monday in December, adopted.
Stevens gave notice cf his intention lo
introduce a bill to regulate-ihe .tenure
of office, its chief features are as fol
lows:
It requires the President to submit
to the Sena e, all appointments made
during recess, within twenty days after
convening of that body, all appoTntees
who may be rejected by the Senate,
shall be inelligible for any office under
the Government for three years there
after, whenever it becomes neces.-ary
for the President to make a removal
for disbility or malfeasance in office.
and he shall report bis reason for such
removal within 20 days after meeting
of the Senate.
In case of the rejection of any per
son appointed by the President, the of
fice shall revert to his predecessor, ex
cept in certain cases, and all subordi
naie appointments mane Dy persons so
rejected, shall fall with his rejection as
their positions likewise revert to their
predecessors. The committee above
appointed will meet on Tuesday even
ing or next week and Im tne report al
an adjourned meeting of the caucus on
Wednesday night following.
The general spirit manifested in the
speeches and conversation was what
might be railed decidedly gamey as
well as very unanimous.

A Curious Piece of Political
History.
An exchange gives a pipce of ruri
cus history connected with the raiifica
liou of the Constilutiunal Amendment
by the Legislature of Oregon. The
telegraph first gave information of its
ratification by both Houses of ihe Leg
islature. Lat-r we learned that two
Union members of the House having
been unseated, a resolution was adopt
ed by that body declaring that the "rat
ification of the A ui end mt-m did not ex
press the will of the House, as it now
stands, after being purged of its illegal
members.": Th's resolution wa- passed
by twenty-four yeas against twenty
three nay, one Union member, Mr.
Rosenhiem, of Portland, voting with
the Democrats. A few days 'later, a
motion to reconsider the disapproval of
the ratification was pa-fe. Air. Ro
senhiem returning to hi? ; y. and on
October 10th a new and 1.....1 vote was
taken, and the motion negatived ky
twerjty-four yeas against twenty-three
nays a strict party vote. Thus Ore
gon maintains its claim to be one of the
States which ratified the Amendment.
