A MAJORITY.
It is a favorite howl wiih new? pa
papers of the coppery perflation, that
the minority are ruling the majority.
They count the copperheads tf the
North acd the cx-rebe!s of the South
as a majority, in tneir count tney ex
elude all men in the South who fought
for the maintenance of the government
Count all tf them, and then see whelh
er you are willing to have the majority
iule. It is your ox that i gored by
the maiaritv plan. One of the fruit
ef the war was the solution of the prob
km as to whether rebs. and cop. were
in the majority in the United Slates
It was decided against them.
IS IT SO?
It will be remembered that during
the first session of the present Congress
a bill was passed locating the Surveyor
General', office for Iowa and Nebraska
atPlatumojth. ' Since that time we are
told that certain parties interested in
the progress of other points have been
busy trying to get the location changed
by the basest of means that of falsi
fying in regard to this place. It ha
been represented that Plattsmouth was
not a fitting point for the Surveyor
General' office, that it was lut a'smal
village, cut cf the nay, and hard of
access, when it is well known that ex
actly the reverse of -this is the fact.
As we have before remarked, those
men who would secure a benefit to one
point by the injury of another are but
poor friends to the general interests of
Nebraska, and should not be trusted to
any great extent with the welfare of
any portion of the country. Let the
people "spot" them wherever they are
found. They would sell their grand
mothers for ten cents in postal currency.
and w ll sell you if they ever get an
opportunity. Dori eive it ihetn.
THE LEGISLATURE.
No bus nssof importance has Lsen
transacted for the past few days. In
the Council, on the 21st, Committee of
the whole, reported back bill amhoriz
ing County Commissioners to employ
attorneys iu certain cases, and recom
mended its paeaga. They alo con
stdered the biil for the cultivation of
trees and made a similar disposition of
it. Cuief Cleik reported that he had
arranged with Major St. A. D. BaU
combe, to do whatever printing the
Council may order, and at such rates
as the United States Treasurer may
see fit to allow.

IMPEACH M E . T.
The questson of the impeachment ff
the Vice President and acting Presi
dent of the United States has been
looked upon by mmy as a mere myth,
and one not likely to assume any par
ticular shape. The late action of the
House has opened the eyes of many to
the fact that a large number cf Con
gressmen are in earnest in the matter.
The JutTiciary Committee of th? House
is engaged in taking testimony, and the
Presidential supporters are busy trying
to scare people by threatening another
rebellion if the President is likely to
be impeached. The Presidential organ
at Washington in out in an article to
the effect that any effort to depose the
President will b resisted by force of
arms, and declares that Andrew John
son will hold the office until the expi
ration of the term for which he was
elected. This is iudeed, as high hand
ed a piece of treason as Jeff. Davis en
tered in'o with the balance of the
Southern traitors, when they opened
ihe rebellion because Abraham Lincoln
was electtd by the legal votes of the
people. No one disputes the authority
of Congress to impeach Andrew John
on or any other man who may occupy
the Presidential chair. It koks li k
the query of Mr. Seward meant .some
thing when he asked if the peoplt
would have Andrew Jjh'nson "Presi
dent or King. ' Such language from
lus official organ denotes thai he intends
to rale this nation anyway, whether
he people will it or no. When affair?
assume this shape it is high lime that
Cimress enquire into the actions of
ihe President, and it is time every pat
riot and lover of a frre govt-rnmrnt
came out fearlessly in support cf the
people's representatives. As to wheth
er Andrew Johnson deserves impeach
ment, is a question; but there is no
question as to the right of the House of
Representatives to erquire into his
conduct. They have the right to pre
fer charges, and the Senate has the
right to try him upon those charges;
and when threats of armed resistance
to thii constitutional procedure ar
made in high quarters, it looks very
much like there was need of examin
ation. THE UKIDUE QUESTION'.
Hon. J. F. Doom has introduced into
the Territorial Council a bill authoriz
ing tha formation of a slo:k company
for the purpose of electing a bridge
across the Platte river. We have not,
so far, favored any particular plan upon
which this bridge should be bui.t, from
the fact we believed the plan upon
which it was built was not of such vital
importance as that we have the bridge
upon some plan, and we sugge-it to the
members from this county the propriety
of making the plan upon which il shali
be built secondary to the bridge itself.
We believe, from all the information
we can gain upon the subject, that
majority of ihs people of the Tern
tory favor having the bridge built by
the Ttiritory, and having it free of loll
One reason urged in favor of this mode
is that there will be more certainty of
an early completion, and thai there
appears to be a general oppositiun to
monopolies in measures which concern
,he public. We hope our members
will not be too exacting in regard to
any particular mode, but if they find
the members from other parts of the
Territory are willing to co for a bill on
the plan of the Territory building the
bridge, that they will immediately em
brace the opportunity and secure its
passage. iriiles sometimes save cr

ticular Course may defeat the bridging

Deserters ou the Rampage.
From the Denver Gazette we learn
thatthirty-ona soldiersrecently deserted
from Ft. Morgan, taking with them
their horses, arms and ammunition
me c.iizens oi uenver got up a nig
scare. They thought the deserter
nni --v -
would make a raid vpm the town, aud
called out a volunteer defence, The
deserters started in military order to
wards New Mexico, aud a party of cit
izens and government teamsters started
in pursuit. They came pretty close
onto them stopped to hold a council of
war and concluded to turn back, which
they did.
The President on Impeachment.
The President, a few days s. nee, ex
pressed himself as follows, regarding
impeachment: That charges could not
be found against h;m without perjury;
lhat if impeached he would see what
means he had of resistance; and if he
should be finally washed overboard he
would not be the first good man who
had met with such a fate.

Resolved, That the sentiments ex-pre:-sed
Ly'Ac.ing Governor Paddock,
in his message to this Legislature, con
cerning the "Peace and Union" of the

to those sentiments expressive of devo

between the d.rTWent sections of our

Mr. Foitoh: Believing thai a
communiccUiou from one of ttie interior
counties of the Territory would be ac
ceptable to you at the present time, 1
would 'ike to occupy a short space in
your columns, in drawing ihe attention
of your numerous readers to the dis-
trict known as the siline districts of
Nebraska, situated principally within
the boundaries of the beautiful and fer-
tile county of Lancaster. It is the
opinion of all who have visited these
rich mineral districts, that they possess
within themselves a source of untold
wealth to the future State of Nebraska
Already tbey have begun to attract the
attention of capitalists from the Fast.
but the uncertainty as to what will be
the coure.ns to the future disposal of
these lands lends in n manner to deter
the rapid development of them. Bui
the vast richness which Uiey pre-
sent upon ihe surface, is fast drawing
into the beautiful valkv in which thev
are situate'!, an immigration of ster-
ling and energetic men from every
part of the Union; and on every side
can be seen the march of improvement
and the fast accumulation of wealth on
the part cf the siurdy pioneers, who
are eitied within iln rich and fertile
di-trict. :
The town of Lancaster.the county seat
o; Lancaster county, is beautifully sit-
mited upon the north slope of the saline

The action of Congress on (he bill

all par ies that it will be promptly pass

you do not forget how certain Senators,

that I was right yesterday, I commend
