WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wabmisgtow. D. C. May 11.. '69
Dxab Hibald: After a long ab
sence or silence I again write you
greeting. Early in October, 1867,
informed your readers that Gen. Grant
would be inaugurated the Republican
President of the United States on the
4th of March. 1S69. This declaration
was founded upon accurate informa
tion from confidential and reliable
sources of the real sentiments and
feelings of General Grant not then
publically expressed concerning Re
. construction, Reunion and Negro Suf
frage. As months passed bis vmws
were made public; his nomination
made; his election effected by over
whelmning majoriies; bis inauguration
accomplished; and his policy pro
claimed in a brief and comprehensive
inaugural. I can only hope and trust
that his course will be a representative
rather jhan an imperial one rather
Lincolnian than Johnsonian.- After
the commingled murmurings and re
ioicintrs of Presidential nominations
and Senatorial confirmations or re
jections shall have subsided, union
harmony and success may and should
crown the Great Party of Restoration
and Reform. Although some disaf
fected Republicans are at present dis
posed to deride the President ""for
his paler familias tendencies and pur
poses." Yet it is hoped and believed
that his eeueral, reformatory and
economised policy will unite and bar
monize all the loyal elements, and
render bis administration a glorious
success.
Before clo&inj, permit me to call the
attention of your reader to the fact
that in their last election of United
States Seuator (Hon. T. W. Tipton)
they have done themselves and the
Republican caue infinite justice. I
have been a keen and watchful ob
server of all his doings, speeches,
votes and purposes; and, sometimes, to
my surprise, but always to my gratin
cation, have found him firmer than
essenden and as true as Sumner.
Always at his post and ever attentive
to his duties, unmoved by frowns and
uninfluenced by favors His Senato
rial record is in all respects above sus
picion or impeachment. He does not
flatter or cajole for policy or success,
while his instinctive love for justice
and right are the sheet-anchor of his
hope. His speeches are few, but nev
er for Buncomb; and his great. 300ib
arrot, fired in the Senate on the lOih
of February last, against- Doolittle,
was one of the most cutting, piercing.
and annihilating speeches ever deliv
ered in tnal august body. "
In the exciting Executive sessions
he never leared to express his opin
ions and give his advice freely and
boldly; and one thing can be said of
him in all truth and sincerity, and to
his imperishable honor, he never, in
Executive session, voted for the con
firmation of a Rebel General for one
of the best Federal offices in the coun
try. Feeling that the political future of
Nebraska depends much on the acts
and views of Senator. Tipton and his
supporters, as exnibited in bis career
at Washington. I must close by ex
pressing
"A wish there were fewer la fiTor and flatter.
And more to stand Arm for the right now and
ever."

BIT FLEA 9 AN T LETTER,
Mt. Pleasant, Neb
May 11, 1869
XjDItok Herald s INot often see
ing anything from our part of the
county in the Herald,! thought to drop
ycu a few liner, if acceptable. J ust at
the present time, however, there is not
much of interest in the country; in
fact we think you might spare us i
awyer or two, or something else inter
esting. we nave bad notnincr or in
terest since the canvass on Railroad
Bonds, except the returns of the elec
lion, which didn t interest ns a bit
ny tne way, a corps or engineers
under the direction of Mr. Douglas
have been surveying for route for
the B. & M. R. R.. up Rock Creek,
running through the north part of our
precinct. They report a very good
grade. Some of the farmers over that
way tell me that unless the engineers
quit surveying and driving stakes in
their farms, that when they want
wood they will do as the homesteaders
do, "dig for it."
The appraisers of our school lands
have already been at work in thi pre
cinct I am net informed at what
price they have appraised ours. Ow
in? to our Hnds teinr settled prior to
the surveys, and the passage by Con
gress of an ac for the relief of set
tiers on school lands, allowing them to
preempt said lands, our choicest tracts
are in the bands of settlers, and for
tins reason we wiil not derive the sum
from the lands that we ought. The
impression of some of our better in
formed men here is that the Legisla
ture last winter reduced the minimum
price of school lands to five dollars per
acre. How is this ?
There has been a greater breadth
of wheat sown this spring; than ever
before. This speaks well for the en
ergy of our farmers, a great many o
whom had their entire crops destroyed
by grasshoppers last season. The
wheat everything considered late,
cold and dry spring looks very
well. If the grasshoppers will only
let us alone, and the season is anyway
tavorabie, mere will be an enormous
yield. The grasshoppers have already
begun on some fields of small grain
lying nearest to old roads, where they
like best to deposit their eggs. The
destruction of last year, I am glad to
state, is not apprehended this. '
A good deal of corn has already
been planted, and some fields are be
ginning to show above ground.
More ground is being put under
fence this spring than in any two years
heretofore. Every, farmer seems to
j
be land hungry and wants to own al
the land that joins him, and then wants
it enclosed, and then, like Oliver
"wants more."
The northern part of our precinct
which is all prairie, is all nearly one
solid block of farms. . In another year
if it improves as it has this, there wil
not be one foot of outside land, except
roads, and they are very grudgingly
given.

From the JIorning Chronicle we
glean the following: items:
Col. Thomas J. Majors, recently ap
pointed Assessor of Internal Reve.iue
for the District of Nebraska, arrived
n the cily yesterday. He will proba
bly niak j his headquarters either in
this city or Brownville.
P. W. Sheckley. Esq., has just com
pleted the cupola of the new Christian
church. iThe tower is surmounted by
a fine gilt ornament, the body of which
is composed of tin, and the work exe
cuted in the establishment of Mr.
Sheckley.
We learn from parties who were in
attendance at the meeting of the Di
rectors of the ; Trunk' road held'-at
Brownville on Monday evening, that
the people of Nemaha county are alive
to the importance of the Trunk road.
A large meeting was held at the Court
House, which was addressed by seve
ral speakers from Nebraska City. The
people unanimously- adopted resolu
tions tendering the aid of their county
in building the road. The undivided
support of Nemaha county, we are in
formed, will be given to this enterprise
Mr. J. W. Fearman, with charac
terisiic liberality, has presented to the
Utoe County (air Ground Association
a fine lot of shade and ornamental trees,
to be set cut on their grounds. Mr.
Harmon has charge of the present,
which insures its prompt and careful
attention. Parlies desiring any kind
of nursery stock will find the Major
both liberal and reliable.
The vacant lands of the Western
counties are being rapidly taken by
actual settlers They are coming in
by the 6core from the Middle and
Western States, and bringing consid
erable capital, as well as willing hands,
with wbich to assist in building up our
new state. Our future cannot be pre
dieted.
Grant's Quaker policy is not fully
understood by some parties who nought
places in the Indian Department, and
were not of the Quaker persuasion
If it will bring about anything like an
honest administration of Indian affairs,
the whole civilized world should ren
der thanks. Mr. Grant can well bear
the hatred of such men.
On Tuesday last a little daughter
of J, J. Van Dyke, L.sq , was bitten
on the hand by a rattlesnake that had
crawled into the house. The poison
took effect immediately, and the hand
and arm almost instantly became ter
ribly swollen and discolored. Dr. L.
II. Robbms was called in and succeed
ed by prompt and powerful remedies
in neutralizing tee effect of the virus,
and now the little sufferer is out of
danger. The snake was afterwards
found by the Dr. after considerable
search, in the cellar. It was a large
one having six rattles and a button.
Commonwealth.
We take the following item from the
Pawnee Tribune:
The discussion at the M E. Church
between Eld. D. R. Dungan, of the
Christian denomination, and Rev.
John Luccock, of the M. E. Crurc!
from Illinois, has been progressing al
the present week. The attendance has
been large ; notwithstanding the buy
season of the year, much of the time
the house has been overflowing As
to which of the disputants has proved
his positions or made the best defence
for the side he is defending, is what
each individual must decide for him
self. Any comparisons on " our part
would be invidious. Both men are
able and well informed.
The Council Bluffs JVonpareil. in
speaking oPthe statement of the Na
tiocal Debt for the month ending 1st,
says but two months have elapsed since
the organization and advent of Presi
dent Grant's administration, yet in this
short period we are able to exhibit a
positive evidence of the wisdom of
electing him President over the chosen
champion of repudiation. During the
first month of Secretary Barnwell's oc-'
cupancy of the Treasury Department,
there were paid of ins National Debt
$2,573,039.28. This brought the
financial statement down to April 6ih.
In ibe short month from April 6th to
May 1st, the Secretary redeemed a
total of $6,300,070.35. These are
among the first fruits of the policy of
economy by the President. He started
in the campaign which resulted in his
election with the enunciation that he
should have no policy of his own to
enforce against the will of the people.
The will of the people is that the pub
lic debt shall be paid as speedily as
possible and in good faith, and Presi
dent Grant has determined to carry on
that will by all the forces of his ad
ministration. AH Kansas City is in a turmoil of
excitement, and Payne; to wit, one J.
Payne, who has commenced suit, in
the name of his wife, for a one-sixth
interest in 160 acres of land in Kan
sas City, embracing about one third of
the whole town, and nearly all of the
most valuable part. Over one thous
and suits are to be commenced as
soon as the necessary papers can be
got ready The property in contest is
known as the Purdom es'ate. Anoth
er suit of ejectment has also been
commenced by Davin G.Neiswanger
against some fifty other property hold
ers on what is known as the Perry
Place, a tract of about fifty acres, in
a valuable part of the city. Take it
all in all, Kansas City is in a bad way,
acd does not present a very desirable
field for investment.

THE TKUNIi. ROAD.
Our people : are deeply interested
in the building of this road. This is
evident from the fact that information
is eagerly sought, and the inquiry is
constantly made, "what are the pros
pects of ihe Irunk Road?" Upon
nearly every other question, the peo
ple of our City are divided in senti
ment, but we are glad to be able to
state that Nebraska City is a unit on
the subject of the Trunk road and all
are anxious to see it built, at the ear-
iest day poible.
With the Trunk road (o Nebraska
City, we have a continuous .line of road
to St. Louis, which will enablb our
eople ts ship to that market without
change of cars or "breaking bu'k."
We say a continuous road, for it is
now conceded that the road will be
finished up to the State line, by the
firstday of November, ensuing. JVow,
the people of southern Nebraska, are
heavily taxed te support the road ou
the opposite side of the river. . It is
well known that this road running
through Iowa and Missouri is mostly
supported by travel , and commerce,
furnished by Nebraska.
The tax, consists in moving freight
to and front the road. This, to the
business men and farmers of Otoe
County, in the last twelve months,
probably has not been less than one
hundred thousand dollars. How long
will our people pay tribute to this for
eign corporation! How long will
tbey be bled to the tune of from one
to two hundred thousand dollars per
annum ? As business and population
increase, in that proportion will this
burthen be felt.
The only remedy, is the speedy
building of the Trunk Road.
We are glad to learn that the pros
pect is good. Judge Kinney, Solicitor
of the road and others returned last
night from Brownville, where a meet
of the directory was held and meas
ures devised looking to an early
breaking of the ground, it is pro
posed to commence the work at the
southern line, and push it vigorously
forward. But in order to render the
enterprise a complete succces, it will
be necessary for the counties along
the line to do all in their power to as
sist it.
The right of way has been obtained
through the most of Richardson county
nearly all of Nemaha county and
efforts will at once be made to procure
it through Otoe. So far, the farmers
and property holders along the line
have cheerfully granted the right of
way, free of charge, to the company
It is expected that James W. Moore
and W. E. Hill, who have been as
signed to the work in this county, will
meet with similar success. Our peo
pie must put their shoulders to the
wheel, and aid this enterprise. Ne
niaha and Richardson are rendering
valuable service. Otoe must not b
behind in the good work. Chronicle

It is proposed to cut a ship cana

from a point mid way between Cushen
don Cushendall, on the coast of Antrim,
to the Scotch side of Glenstme, from
whence it would run through the head
of the Mull of Cantyre. The total
length of the tunnel would be fourteen

TUB BEST IN THE WORLD
From the Chicago Evening Record.
The State of New York has cou
tnbuted much to the growth and de
velopment of the great West. It sends
hither in large numbers is thrifty, in
telligent citizens. It invests here con
sider!' ble amounts of its surplrs capi
tal, and sells us, for use in our facto
ries and upon our farms, some of the
best machinery and imp'ements ever
devised. Among the contributions of
the latter class, for which we feel our
selves greatly indebted to the Empire
State, is the implement known as "The
New Yorker Self Raking Reaper,"
manufactured at Brockport.
The merits of this machine have
been tested .in numerous trials, and
seem to have been definitely settled.
Napoleon III. if rumor does not
greatly belie him ought to be an ex
cellent judge of rakes, and his opinion
of the New Yorker is evidenced by his
awarding to it the geld medal at the
Exposition of 1867. At the Grand
Syracuse Field Trial this implement
obtained the first premium from the
U S. Agricultural Society. Michigan
bestowed upon it the first prize in
1366. The St. Louis Agricultural
and Mechanical Institute declared it
worthy of the highest commendation.
And more than all, Chicago has en
dorsed it as the best self-raking reaper
extant. Any ope familiar with the
great display of farm machinery made
here at the exhibition in 1859, and
with the men selected to decide upon
the merits of competing implements,
willfully agree with us in the opinion
that the award then made in its favor
was decisive of the New Yorker's
claims to superiority. We may claim,
without undue egotism, to be ourselves
good judges of agricultural machinery,
and think that we do no discredit to
Napoleoa III., the U. S. Agricultu al
Society, and other illustrious person
ages and corporations whose opinions
have been . ought and obtained in this
matter,. when we assure them and the
public generally that we fully agree
in the judgment that the New Yorker
Self-Raking Reaper is the very best
implement of its class extant at the
present time.
There is no other machine made su
perior to this in its fitness for the ex
act work required of it. Few machines
of any character are manufactured with'
such skill and care, and are so per
fectly finished.' Win. H. Browne,
Esq., is the General Western Agent,
having his " headquarters in this city.
He is both intelligent and gentlemanly.
and has hosts of friends throughout the
country. He ha-?, during his residence
among us, thoroughly identified him
self and the m; chine be represents
with Western interests, and is, to all
intents and purposes, a genuine
Westerner. II is patience has been
orely tried, however, for a few sea- j
sons past, in the effort to make a lim
ited supply meet an almost unlimited
demand. We trust that Messrs. Sey
mour, Morgan & Allen will increase
th&ir facilities, and give us more ma
chines, or, what would be much bette"
both for them and us, come here and
manufacture them. A specimen can

TELEGI1APIIIC.
,- New York, May 6. A Washing-
ion special says the Spanish Minister
has informed the State Department
thai should this country recognize the
belligerent rights of the Cubans, Spain
will regard it as a declaration of war
and authorize the fitting out of priva
teers, which cannot but do great harm.
It proves that the Arago took recruits
for Cuba. The schooner Grapeshot,
wbich was reported sailed for Cuba
with volunteers, still lies in this har
bor. A large number of Spencer
rifles for Spanish troops were for
warded by the Columbia to-day. Mr.
Plumb, our new Consul to Havana,
sailed in her. It is stated that the
French Atlantic Cable Company will
laud their shore . end al Cape May.
From the Cape the main lines deviate,
one running across the bay to Lewes,
one to Washington, another direct to
Philadelphia, and the third along the
shore north to New York. The
steamer having the cable on board will
sail from France in July.
The Sun says a revenu j cutter sailed
from Brooklyn Navy Yard Saturday,
to head off the expedition which is to
sail from the Florida coast; also, thai
the Government has knowledge of the
building of thirty powerful gunboats in
New York. Boston and Canada for
Spain; also, that some weeks 8 go a
prominent rifle manufacturer, a New
England man, was given a large order
by insurgent agents for breach-loading
rifles. The order was promptly filled
and the arms packed in cases, but the
manufacturers refuse to deliver them
until they are paid for.
The Herald states that the steamer
Arago put to sea on Monday, not
Tuesday, and up to the hour when she
was left by the pilot had not taken on
board any ambitious adventurers,: but
only a full complement of men to work
her. She goes to replace in the Peru
vian service a vessel just l st, and goes
with the permission of our Govern
ment lo change her flag while out.
A Washington dispatch states that
our Government has resolved not to
prevent the departure of any vessels,
whether loaded with arms or not, pro
vided their apparent destination i? not
direct for Cuba. In other woras, ves
sels cleared for Nassau, Jamaica,
Mexico, or any other place with which
we are on friendly terms, will b al
lowed to leave, no matter bow much
war material or bow many passengers
they have on board.
In reply to inquiries from parties
interested, including, it is said, the
Spanish Minister. Our Government
has declared war material must se re
garded hs merchandise and the people
on board such vessels as traveler or
persons leaving our ports on legitimate
business.
Wabhiwctoit, May 7. A. party
consisting of ex Gov. Ward, of New
Jersey, Col. Forney, Gen. Van Wyck,
N. Y., and others, who started on a
Southern trip two weeks ago, have re
turned to Washington. They went as
far as Florida, stepping at the princi
pal cities and towns on the way. They
all concur in the report that industrial
prospects have improved. The ne
groes are working better than last
year, and the whites generally seem
more industrious. Crops look well.
The people are anxious for North
ern immigration, and millions of acres
of good land are for sale, and great
inducements offered to capitalists.
WAsnijcFTOir, May 7. Gov. Cur
tin, President of the East India Tele
graph Company, and A. K. McCiure,
Solicitor of Corporation, had an inter
view with the Secretaries cf State and
Navy to day, in relation to the intro
duction of telegraphs into China. The
Company have a grant procured by
Air. Burlingame, when be was Ameri
can Minister to China, authorizing
them to lay a cable between Canton
and Shanghai, thus connecting' the
commercial cities of the Asiatic coast
by telegrann. They have 500 miles
of cable ready and a ship to lay it
down, and will have the remaining
500 miles ready to ship during the
summer.
Lohdow. May 7. The Times to-day
has another editorial on the Alabama
claims. It says England endeavored
to do justice to all parties during the
late rebellion, and must decline to ac
knowledge any other motive for her
action. She has offered to submit to
arbitration the question whether she
has been culpably negligent, but she
cannot go further. . Extravagant mis
representations were necessary to fur
nish a basis for such a policy as is fore
shadowed in Mr. Sumner's speech.
The Times concludes by assuring the
Americans that it will prove a failure.
The Telegraph also has an article on
the same subject. It promises lhat
England will give an attentive ear to
reasonable propositions, buj will not
listen to novel pretensions. If no so
lution is now .practicable, she will
leave the questions at issue to ibe in
fluences of time and the mature judg
ment of the American people for adjustment.
