Jt DGi: i.ikiv.s si'i:r:i At Omaha last Wednesday evening, in favor of the new constitution, was a clear, logical argument, and h id much weight with the people who heard it. Neither of the papers of that city have endeavored to refute a single' argument presented by Judge Like. He com pletely exposed the fallacy of the cry of expensive courts, and no one has en deavored to controvert his positions. ru::iuii rs.

The people, and especially the busi ness men of Nebraska City, should feel especially proud of tho new grain eleva tor but recently completed in their city. We were there last Thursday, and " in terviewed " the elevator and Mr. New some, the gentlemanly manager. The elevator is owned by Messrs. Newsoiue, Hi!!, Metcalf, A.-hton, and Stevenson, all of them wealthy gentlemen. It cost $20.0 0, is four stories high besides the basement, has a 2'i horse power engine, hasfiften bins with a capacity for 3-3,000 bushels of grain. The company will put in a tran-fere boat this fall or early next spring, an I a track from the M. F. Iload will be constructed along side the building. The first grain received had just been turned into the receiving hopper before we vis.ited it. The men who have invested their money in this enterprise should receive a liberal divi dend whether or not they will remains to be seen. Kfrrosni iiok.sk tiiikyem. As our fiicnd Amison would say, there are "Injuns about," and the people of Mt. Fleascnt have heard from them. Last Saturday evening two men were found asleep in a pasture field close to Mt. Pleasant, with each of them a horse tied in the brush close to them. The man who found them asked them what they were doing there, but got no an swer, lie went away ami returned with assistance, but the birds had flown. A lire had been built, and it was evident the fellows had been there all day. It is the general belief in that neighbor hood that they were horse-thieves. An effort was made to find out which way they went, but without resulting in any definite informal h n. tri: t o.vsrAscE cvsn The rumor has prevailed in this sec tion, to some extent, that an effort had been made by the friends of Win. B. Constance to induce Ilibbard & Spene-er not to appear against him, although we presume no one believed, for a moment, that such efforts would accomplish the desired result. The following letter from the firm speaks for itself : CiiiCAtiO, Sep. 1st. 1871. II. I). Hathaway, Esq. Dear Sir' We arc informed by Mr. Snyder, thai a report has been circulated in Nebraska, to the effect that we had been influenced by the friends of Wm. li. Constance to abandon the prosecu tion of a criminal case against the 'Su IKTintendent" of our 'Nebraska Branch' We wish to assure you, and through your excellent paper the good people ot Nebraska, that we have never been ap proaehed by the friends of Mr. Con stance, with a proposition to abandon the prosecution, and that no influence of friends or money could be brought to bear, that would make us recreant to our duty i: this matter. Very Respectfully. Hibeard & Spencer. The Lord Chief Justice has very po-porly decided that a horse rac is not a game of chance. The whole thing is a mathematical certainly ; the horse that is able to lay his feet down the farthest apart in the shortest time wins the race, if his wind l.ol U oit, and he isn't jockeyed. It is pure science. YKAZtLY JMElCTIXttN or '1'HK l.tUIS lilTl'ItC Is another source of fault finding by the men who seek to defeat the new Con stitution. Let us ask these fault finders how much beter off we are under the practical workings of the present Con stitution ? Have we not had yearly sessions under a biennial clause in our present Constitution? and have we not had to sessions within a single year? The only difference is that uudcr the new Constitution the people's represen tative? are left free to legislate upon whatever subjects they see fit ; while under the present Constitution the Gov ernor can shut them off from 1 gislating upon any subject Ii.-tatful to him. In other words, the present document re cognizes a one man power ia the matter of legislation except oace in two years, when the people are al'owed to act for themselves. Who favors the one man system ? We do not. We are f r the people. Who is against them. XOT AI!(ilU THE U.I. The Omaha Republican says it is not arguing the old constitution, but the new one. How much of reason or hon esty i5 embrace:! in that position. As we stated at the outset, the question is not whether the new constitution is a perfect document, and is just what we all want, but it is which is the best, the old or the new. If the new document is any improvement on the old, then is it the part of wisdom to. vote the new one down because it does not meet with our sanction in cveiy respect? The Re publican is correct when it says it is not arguing the old constitution. It endeav ors to show evciy weak point in the new c n?tilution, but ignores every good point in it, and also ignores the fact that in very many instances the old constitu tion is worse than they claim the new one is. Is this a fair way to argue a document of such impoit to the people and the future of our State? Look at the chuich taxation clause, and others which are attacked by the Republican. How much better is the old than the new constitution? Instead of being Let" ter, every man who compares the two must admit that the old document is fur moi c objectionable cn the e poiuts than any one claims the irew one to be What we find fault with is that the Republican and other opponents refuse to argue the cpiestion at all, but simply make one sided statements. The people begin to understand th.ir mode of warfare. LEGISLATIVE Al'I'OIM IOMIK.X r. An effort has been made to create capital against the new Constitution iti consequence of the clause providing for legislative apportionment. The Con stitution says that ' the number of re pres ntatives shall never execed one hun dred, nor that of Senators thirty-three" The opponents of the Constitution have attacked this clause as if it said the number of representatives should reach one hundred and that of the Senators thirty-three. They seek to misrepresent the document, and again we give the language of the Constitution itself, and ask for it a candid consideration Sl.c. 5. The first house of represen tatives shall consist of fifty-seven mem bers, and the first senate shall consist of nineteen members. After the first elec tion, the number of members of each house shall be regulated by law,- but the number of representatives shall never exceed one hundred, nor that of sena tors, thirty-three. Fntil the year IS73, representatives shall be chosen for one year, and thereafter for two years. Sen ators shall be e'ected in the year 1S7I fur one year, an J thereafter for two years. Does any one object to this clause be cause it gives too great representation? The Omaha Herald admits that fifty sevcu Representatives and nineteen Senators are not too mam-, but thinks that one hundred Representatives, and thirty three Senators would be too great a number. Wc agree with the Herald, and would oppose increasing for he present, the number designated ; but the time may, and we hope will come, when Nebraska will be one the leading States of this Union, in point of wealth and population, and then she would re quire an increase in representation. Is it not wise to make provisions for such increase when needed, without being compelled to amend the constitution? Then, again, under this new con-titution, the number may be diminished, as well as increased, if the people think we have too great representation. The number designated is only for the first session,, after which time the number be regulated by law." Are the opponents of the constitution afraid to trust the people with these matters? We are not. The people are tho source of all power in a Republic; and we apprehend that the set of politicians who are afraid to trust the people will soon find that the peoi.le ate afraid to trut them, and will say to them, "stand aside." There is no kind of danger that the number of Senators and Representatives will be in creased unless the people demand it ; and if they do it is their riht and privilege, under the new constitution, to have such inircase Who would deny them the riglr. Would any set of po litical demagogues dare do it ? The examination ofdrug clerks in New York city has brought out the very interesting fact that some of the applicants were quite unable to give the common tests for lead and copper, and that others could not name any method for determining the purity or impurity of the soda water, which is the national summer beverage. The Standard thinks "it is possible not too much to hope that the effect, sooner or later, of enabling us to buy Seid'itz powders without dreading that thev contain ar senic, or swallow a glass of soda water without an, ultimate application of the stomache pump. Boston is the most inhospitable city in the country, if travelers are to be be lieved. If tyrany and oppression had any virtues, it would be the best place in the country. If a man don.t pay his taxes they chuck him in jail. If a man is caught selling liqnor they treat him likewise. Mr. Dunbar kept a liquor" store, and was assessed $4,000 for tax This is like tyir.r a man's legs and tell ing him to dance, lie has offered his liquor, but they won't accept that ; it must be they money or a cell. Liquor, it ccms, is a good property to tax, and th.-a threw overboard. ii.i v t'ocu'i'S. Another nrgumeut brought against the new constitution is that the county courts are given jurisdiction in civil cases where the sum claimed does not exceed 500. It seems strange that men who should know better will make these wild :nd reckless assertions for the purpo-e of prejudicing the minds of the people against the constitution. Again we are compelled to correct an impression which may have obtained in consequence.of this reek'es assertion, and we shall pro ceed to do so in the most straightforward manner, that of giving the language of the constitution itself: Skc. Id. County courts shall be courts of record, and shall have original juris diction in all matters of probate, settle ment of the estates of deceased pcrs us, appointment of guardians and settle ment of their accounts; in all matters relating to apprcntie-es ; and in proceed ings for the collection of taxes, and as sessments ; and such other jurisdiction as may he given by general law: Pro vided. That in counties having a popu lation of not less than three thousand, the legislature may coaler upon said courts jurisdiction in sales of real estate on execution, and by executors, admin istrators and guarelians, but ihey shall not have jurisdiction in criminal eases in which the punishment may exceed six month imprisonment, or a fine of over live hundred dollars, nor actions in which the title to real cstata is sought to be re covered, or may be drawn in question, nor in actions on mortgages or contracts for the conveyance of real estate, nor where the debt or sum claimed, shall ex ceed live hundred dollars. Now, will some legal minds proceed to show us wherein the above section (and it is the only one which says a ny thing on the subject) gives jurisdiction in any sum to countj' courts, except in tho-e matters enumerated in the first part of the section? It does say, how ever, "that in counties having a popu lation of not less than three thousand, the Legislature MAY confer" certain jurisdiction, saying what it may be ; "but they shall not have jurisdiction" in cer tain other enumerated cases, "nor where the debt or sum claimed, shall exceed five hundred dollars." The above is too plain for argument, even, and wc are as tonished to find an intelligent man who will assert that thiu section gives coun'y courts jurisdiction in civil cases where the sum does not exceed $o00; yet this argument is of a pieca with nearly every one brought ajrainst the new constitu tion. Under the above section the coun ty courts have no civil jurisdiction, whatever, until it is given them hy gene ral law, and then it cannot exceed $500 that is all there is to it. If any man objects to thisjyiil he please tell us how much better the present constitution is in relation to this matter. It docs net limit the jurisdiction that may be given to county courts. The Legislature may, under the present constitution, give county courts jurisdiction in any sum, even five times five thousand. Which document is preferable that's the ques tion. SEPARATE AIMICJ.ES. The opponents of the constitution, 0 far as we have observed, are endeavor ing to confound the separate articles, submitted to a vote, with the main body of the deicument. In speaking against these separate propositions they speak of them as a part of the constitution, and endeavor to convey the idea, without ex pressing it in words, that if the consti tution is adopted these separate articles wi'l also be necessarily adopted. Such is not the fact, as any man will see who thinks for a sinf.de second upon the ques tion. There are five of these separate articles, submitted separately because, it was considered very doubtful whether they would meet the views of a majority of the voters, and because the fiami-rs of the constitution did not wish to endan ger the adoption of the deicument by at tnching to it such clauses as would proba bly be obnoxious to a majority of the people. The separate articles are : Liabilities of Stockholders in Bank ing Com panics, Corporations and Asso ciations. Prohibiting County and Municipal aid to Corporations. Compulsory Education and Reforma tory Schools. Inhibition and License. Exten iion of the Right of Suffrage. Each one of these articles are voted upon separately, and unless a majority of the votes cast are in favor of their adop tion they are void and of no effect. The vote on the constitution is separate from these, and its adoption will in no way effect these articles. Let every man who opposes these articles, either all or any of them, vote against them. But let no one vote against the constitution be cause he is opposed to any or all of the separate articles. An effort has Lcen made in some localities to prejudice the Ocrtuans against the constitution, and in duce them to vote aginstit, because they were opposed to the Inhibition article; and in some instances our German friends have been induced to believe that the easiest way to defeat the Inhi bition article was to vote against the Constitution. They never made a greater mistake than this, for the very reason that if they cry "down with the Consti tution to defeat the Inhibition." they will engender a feeling with those who favor the Constitution to vote the whole thing in order to carry the Constitu tion We believe that reason should rule in this matter, and that each article should rest on its own merits. If the Constution is, of itself, meritorous or an improvement on the old one, we say adopt it. If the separate articles, or any one or more of them are distasteful, make your warfare on them, and on them alone, and defeat them. But do not confound the Constitution and the separate articles. Vote for the oue if it suits, and vote against the other ii it is distasteful. A Berlin letter writer says: "The Berliners are generally polite, and in pursuance do not differ from Americans, but you can always tell an American. No matter how well he speaks German, he always swears in English. A girl in the interior of this State has a prairie rose bush trailed over the sides of her room, and last week it had 1.000 roses upon it. A bjwer of roses, truly. JUOt-K S A I, AltlS. The Omaha papers make mu.h noise about the salaries to be paid the Supreme and District Court Jud.s under the new Constitution. Now let us'seejust how much reason there is f ir all this ' fuss ; and in order that the salary clause l i... v.... l. k, ,r.., . ).... .!... t lutiy uu jirsa uuiviu cteij lea'ji:,, liiac .i . i i. .i i - : inev mav juac 01 me iruin 01 our p:i- : ..." .,, l.i.ii . siuo:i, c w in io uiai ii:cii 110 paper oppo -cd to the Constitution has yet done, i or dares to do ; we will give the language of the Constitution itself. Sec. 13. The judges of the Supreme court shall each receive a salary of $3,: 0 and the judges of the district 'ourt shall each receive a salary of $'J.;"00 per an num, payable quarterly, until otherwise provided by la.v, and, after said sal aries shall be fised by law, thy shall not be increased or diminished during the terms for whieh said judges shall be re spectively elected. Skc. I I. No judite of the supremo or district court shad receive any other com pensation, perquisite or benefit, in any form whatsoever, nor perform any other than judicial duties, to which may l e long any eu olumeiits, : or shall any salary or other compensation be paid by the State to any county judge. We ask every reader to mark well the language of tin: above : The Judges shall otherwise provided by I n, and n-.-ai i salaiies shall be fixed by laic, they shall not be increased or diminished, during the term, etc." Now, does the above clause fix the salaries of the Julgcs? Dare any respectable journal, or orator asseit that itdoe? It only names a sum whidi they shall receive until the legislature shall desig nate a salary. The legislature may place those salaiies at one half the amount named above, if the people think they are too high. The very first session of the legislature can cut them down, and it will assuredly be done, if the people demand it. Whit sense is there in de feating the Constitution ou this ground? Then look at section 14, and you will see that these judges cannot receive a dollar in any other manner, except as salaries. Under the present constitution the judg es, a well as other state officers, can le aiiowed compensation for alleged services and in tnat way liii-y may, and in some cases do, receive as much, aril even m ire than they wid under the new constitu tion. This matter of adopting or reject ing the new constitution should not be treated in a balderd ish style, a our Omaha friends are inclined to treat it. It is a matter of grave importance, and shoull be argued as siuh. It has faults, but it also has good qualities. '"Let us reason together," and decile honestly. Who objects to t!ie constitutioa on t!i ; ground of the high salaries of the judges, when they are only named umil the leg i lature assembles, when they may Le placed at any sum desired ? ir: iR'i an-j i'Ks;-RT. While at Nebraska City a few days since we had the pleasure of visiting the above named nur.-eiy, situated about a mile west of tli3 city, where we found the most complete arrangements we have ever seen iu the west. Maj. J. W. Pearman is proprietor of the ground-, and has about fourteen acres well filled with all the best kinds of apple, pear, peach, cherry and plum trees, grape vines, osage and honey loea t hedge plants, ornamental trees, evergreens, roses and flowering shrubs. He has over 150,000 fruit trees and vines, and they are certainly the finest lot we have ever seen in any coaatiy, considering their ago. We advise all Nebra-kians to send to Pearman for their nursery stock instead of purchasing anything from the cast, at whatever price thry may get it. His trees are ail bar ly, having been propagated i l Nebraska soil. His Honey Locu.ft Hedge Plants are certainly bound to revolutionize the hedge business, for they seem fur better adapted for the purpose than tha Osage, being a native of our soil arid ciima e. They grow more rapidly, do not winter kill, and no kind of insect will touch it. Everything on the premises bears the impress of neatness and order, and it does one good to look over the grounds. The floral department is under the di rcct management of Mrs. Pearman, who takes no small degree of pride in that department. Parties interested in Horticulture should not .fail to visit Peanuan's Nursery when they go to Nebraska City. See his card in another column. Lincoln, Nkr., Sept. 1st, ls71.

Very Respectfully Your.', Geo. S. Hauius, Land Commissioner. The lies Moines Leader says that cows got into the yard of one of its citi zens, the other night. The gentleman saw them, as did a young lady boarder upstairs. He slipped out of the back door in his "nighty" to drive them out); she came out of the front door on the same errand, clad all in white ; both turned a corner the same instant, and went p'urup into each other's arms. There was a scream, from her. a h-s-s s-h from him, and then ail was still as white garments fluttered into the front and rear doorways, and the gentle kine were left to ruminate undisturb ed.

I propose to di-ou-s the question : By what principles should v.e be governed in selecting teachers for our common Schools ? 1st. Yve should not be governed by the idea of :c'..:ic::-hip an 1 personal fa voritism. It is no good an.- suliieient 1 , i reaso why a young lady-should be hired i , , ., , , ! to teach our children tint he is the cousin cX the school directors, or of some influential man in the district. It is not a sulneieiit reason that she is good look ing and of pleasing manners though both these are desirable. I wouldn't put a cadaverous cross-eyed, ill-featured teacher into the school room if I could get somebody equally well qualified and good looking. There is animation and cheer for children in a pleasant faej But the fiee needs something behind it. Because it j -leases the district director or the County Superintendent, is no suSeh'.nt reason for setting it in tlu school roem. I.M. Wc should not be governed by our feelings " sympathy in selecting our teachers. The fact that a young lady or g-"ut!emau is poor or has u dependent mother, or is sickly and infirm, does u t rsiabli-h her or his prior claim to our district school. Other and real qualifi cations pos-essed, a:;d I vrouM say most earnestly, give this child of misfortune the coveted opportunity. But a sick, infirm, burdorud man or woman, is by so much weakened in effective power. There must be other high qualities as an offset, to entitle the individual to hold these large responsibilities. This work v? educating our children is too great and precious to leave it in weak hands. 3d. We should, in se lecting our teach ers, be governed ly the que-tion of men tal and moral titnesss in them, for their duties. This subject is a very broad one and will iequire time for its discussion. What should wo look for in the teachers of our schools ? 1st. Let us seek, so far as piacticab'e, for those who purpose to make teaehing their business-. There are two classes v ho seek eoitdovment in oar schools. : first those who resort to teaching, as a means of helping themselves while fit ting for some other calling ; and second, those who choose teaching as their per manent work. Young ladies who ex peet to be married, and who can see no way to get a respectable wedding outfit, except by teaching ; j-oung men retting ;:n education with the law, or medicine, or ministry iu view or jiung.i!i:n try ing to aid a little by a Winter school to their farm earnings these are some of the candidates for the honors and duties of teaching. Now, it must be obvious to every o!! that those who enter upon teaching as a permanent woik, who train themselves for this work who have before the mind tho motives to fidelity, afforded by this settled purpose must have a higher fit ness for their -luties than those who take up teaching as a temporary resort. The one class work for the highest results iu their pupils, the other for their own ends. There is the pride of profession which is n powerful stimulus to one class, and whieh is wholly wanting with the other. The (in class are looking for years of continuous work, and therefore lay a bread plan, and adopt a careful system.

F. t::k paiest lime jiii.s. M:t. ElUTMlt': Tho patent lime kiln which is being built just outside the city litiiits on the B. & M. R. R., is likely to produce lime in such large quantities, in a short time, and.it so little expense that the proprietor, J. L. Lamb, can furnish lime at half the price paid at present to other parties for it ; this being so, there is scarcely any reason why the public should not patronize him, as they wiij save money tv so uoing. lhe lime is expected to be of a superior kind. To a superficial observer, the Kiln appears to be nothing but an uncouth heap of .stones piled over eat-h other, without any regard to system or artistic design : but on closer examination you have to acknowledge that the inventor mu.-t be a man of genius, an 1 that it far surpa-s- es anything of the kind you have ever seen. Mr. George Hcnsler. the paten tee, has several testimonials from parties for whom he superintended the building of simiiiar Kilns, and they unanimously agree in saying, they are the best in ventions of the kind in existence. This Kiln he has constructed in Pla'tsmouth, will average 50) bushels a day. You can purchase jour lime on any day after next Saturday, ('Jth September.) M. O Donoikie. The Sentinel, published at Mt. Ster ling, Ky. , calls upon Mrs. Yictoria O. Woodliull and MissTennie C. Claflin to pay a bill due since LSoti for advertising done for them wh; n thry followed the clairvoyant, fortune-telling, and masie medicine business in Cineinati. When this bill is paid the Sentinel will see about supporting Mrs. WoodLull for the Presidency. We protest against any rueh mixture of money affairs with pjolitic. If no person is to be elected Presicent who is not able te pay his debts we shall have a fatal reduction in the number of avail able candidates. L -t bygones be by gones in polities. All that ought to b j required of any candidate is to pay hi-, current bill-, and to agree to accept no presents after the election. Perhaps in Mrs. Wr.odhuXs ea-e, as she has two husbands living, it might be proper to exact an agreement that neither of them shall be appointed to any office after her inauaration. Ar. Y. Sun.

A par ty of ladies have talven it upon them selves to as-ume the redemption of fallen women. This has been tried often, uu der many different circumstances. I he Washington Chroniih: has a detailed ac count cd' interviews by these ladies with several of the keepers of these houses, arid from the questions then asked they s.emcd to dxVell more 011 the habiu of men, and what men visited thesj places, than they did on planning reformation. They did venture to ak one woman why she followed the business, and whether it was cute; -laming, to whiuS ttiey re ceived the reply : "A desire to earn ni-mey. Nothing else on earth. 1 den t believe there is a woman living who loves the business Think what it is : never to bo free from fear, never to kne w at what hour of the dav or nijiht we may be dragged to the Police Court, fallowed by the ru! lj!e, hooting -.t us or calling us villi names ; betrayed, insulted, tried, judged and ci nvicted by the very men who have made us what we are." Anotlur v.'ouian was a-l:e-i how she obtaine I girls an. 1 who brought them there, an t she said Members of Con gross and Depar inent Clerks excelled iu this business. Another woman was asked why she didn't get some work to do and quit the business, and she an swered rather philosophically : We could become penitents, live on bread and water, sleep on hard beds un j til we get thin, have our hair cut oil, have some good Christian set to watch oxer us, and if we stand it seve r.t! months, we could tret a place in some l.s-dy's kitchen ; hut xve couldn't keep it long, for many r.t' us have been brought up Ldies, mid the ia-ly of the house xvouIda!xvays s".-pect us, and upon the slightest provocation would turn us out in the streets to come back to our old life, while, the men xxho made us what we are, can rise to any position they choo-e. " A M nv Je rsey edit u- ovi rhnded him self xvi-h ginger h-vr lately, and lost forty-two railroad pas-os, including one on the Yokama and Yeddo road. A woman may be sumoihi i -d by all the luxuiies that men y can obtain, and have the fawning friendship of people whoso snides only live in prosperity; hut if. she feeb her.-o!f unloved an 1 alone in her heait, the c.-oxvn je-i 1 in her dia dem of happ'ness is lost ; things lose all val ic, an 1 life becomes institferbly dull. The honest, tender love of two brave hearts xvho have started out, and are struggling to get a home for their little ones, and money enough t. feed, clothe an 1 e lueate them, makes life a thousand times more attractive and inspiring. The Wilmington, Iel. . Journal says there is a man living in that, city who is a consistent member of a christian con grega ion.
