The Salt Land trial came off at Lin
coln last Tuesday, wherein J. Sterling
Morton was plaintiff, and the State of
Nebraska was defendant, and the Jour
nal, in speaking of the ease, says the
jury rendered a verdict for the defendant
"w ithout leaving the jury box." Now,
perhaps, those persons who were so very
curious to know why the IIerald was
Mirring this question a thort time since,
may bo able to see some of the results
of that stirring. We designed that
justice should be done the State in this
matter, and that the trial before the
District Court which has resulted as
above : dated, should not pass unheeded
and unnoticed as did the hearing set
before the Land Office. From this time
henceforth Mr. Morton must work for
all the Salt Lands he wrongs the State
out of. The Herald has aroused pub
lic attention too much to a'.taw the mat
ter to li'lc along without anybody notic
ing it, k? Mortont Co. had plannod for
it to do. The facts are too plain to ad
mit of a doubt ia the min is of an intelli

PLATTSMOUTII NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER J), IS71-
A J'JII WENT.
Mr Editor: Having recently taken
a trip west, I thought a hurried descrip
tion of the towns and country on the
line of the U. P. II. K. might not be
uninteresting, and, therefore, will do the
bctt I can in laying before your readers
the rusults of my observations.
We leave .Omaha at 11:30, A. M. , and
as the magnificent train of cars and Pull
man coaches glide out from the depot
we get a glimpse of the Missouri Iliver
Bridge, now in course of construction,
and before reaching the summit, a toler
able good view of the city itself. We
pass over thirty miles of rolling country,
cross the Elk Horn, and in a short time
are in the Platte Valley. And now
comes
THE PLAINS.
Who cannot remember when the men
tion of the plains was associated in our
mind.? with the long trains of covered
wagons, hauled along slowly and wearily
by mules, horses, or the steady oxen,
and the crack of the drivers whip which
could be heard constantly, and clouds of
duKt crept along their tedious way, all
bound west most all to California. Or
still earlier, we used to read of John C.
Fremont's expedition ; and this is a part
of what he termed the "Great American
Desert."
As our train carried us swiftly and
enioothly along, I looked in vain for "the
Great American Desert," but instead, I
found a great valley from ten to twenty
miles in width, with the Platte river me
andering through it, and the Great Na
tional Highway running along, nearly in
the center; and on all sides round and
about our way are ningnificent farms
where wheat, corn, oat, potatoes, cab
bages, turnip', and everything grows in
the greatest abundance. Here and
there could be seen immense droves of
fat cattle, at any time ready for f-hip-ment,
and which were made fat by crop
ping the rich grasses which grow in this
valley in the greatest profusion ; and as
I gnzed upon the wide expanse of this
truly magnificent val'ey, I asked niyself
why the Platte river was the innocent
means of creating a sectional feeling in
some parts of the State, when in fact it
should be a source cf just pride to every
inhabitant of our noble young State.
The first town of importance which we
stop at is
iremont
The 11:30 A. m- train from Omaha
stops hen twenty-five minutes for din
ner, and I formed everybody's acquaint
ance. The genial John II. Suh'or is in
the capacity cf mine host, and he will
always, while at Fremont give you a
".-quare meal" for $1.0!).
Wc next cama to Schuyler, in Colfax
county, a very nourishing little city.
Next ia order is
COLUMBUS,
Which was named. I understand, with
th0 expectation that at pome future day
the capital would be iu Columbus in Ne-
braka as it is in Columbus, Ohio ; but
notwithstanding it ha3 not the capital,
it ia well located and cannot fail to make
a prominent city of the plains. The
next pl-'ce of importance is
t IRANI) ISLAND.
Here I stopped over night. I found
Mr. Arnold, the Begister of the Land
Office, prer-cnt for duty, and a genial
gentleman, as is also his assistant Mr.
White; here, al-o, I met .Mr. Wallach,
County Clerk, and acting Receiver.
They all gave me much infotmation in
regard to tha increasing immigration into
the county of Hall, and my.-elf, no
tieed a great deal of substantial improve
ment in the growth of Grand I-laud
itself, as a city, s nee my visit there lat
spring. I noticed three new, large
churches find school houses, and a city
of over 1,000 inhabitants. The streets
are laid out regal
and quite wide. This I think will al.-o
be a large place. Their bridge over the
Platte at this point, built by the people
of Grand Island, shows well for their en
terprisc, and such improvements ail
materially in breaking down the sectional
feeling before referred to. I went from
Grand Island to
KEARNEY JUNCTION.
The point where the B. & 31. R. R. in
tersects the U. P. R. R. I had been
told by one who pretended to know, that
the sod in our State thinned out as we
went westward : but this far out 200
miles west of the Missouri I noticed
that in digging a well the man went
through five or six feet of good soil,
much better than what I saw in Ohio
this summer, valued at $100 0) per
acre. All around here arc new farm
house,showing that it is not the frontier.
1 learned from Mr. Smith, who has a
large house on his homestead near Kear
ney Junction, that Kearney and Adams
counties, and the valley of the Republi
can were filling ut with hundreds of
families, all seel ing the free homes of
fered to the immigrants who couie to
Nebraska, by good old Uncle Sam, who,
as the song says, "is rich enough to give
us all a farm."
I wish all the struggling small farmers
of the Eastern States could oulv sec this
Platte Valley ; how rich the soil, how
salubrious the climate. I am sure that
they would quit grabbling out a subsist
eBCe Btn0ng rocks and stumps there, and

fore ; and it only strengthens my belie
in the permanent and steady growth of
our State, as a State, and that a few, a
very few years, will place her side by

that there are no Indians in that region

Louisville. Ky., Nov. 5.
At nine and a halt o'clock last night,
the giving way of the columns in the
lowerroom otthe African Baptist Church,
corner of Fifth and York streets, created
a panic among the congregation in the
upper room, and the whole body rushed,
jammed and crushed down two narrow
6tairways, on each side the door, men
trampling over women and children in
their fright. Iveven of them were killed
outright, two of them chi'dren, and a
number more or less wounded. One
had a leg broken. The killed are all
women. The scene was. terrible and
heart rendice. Mothers screaming ov-
er their dead children, husbands in ago
ny over their wives. The ctd imn or pil
lar which gave way proved to have been
set on the lower floor between joists,
with nothing under it but a weak floor

New York, Nov. Cth.
Charles O'Connor says, it is certain
that f o,000,000 to $6,khj,000 can be
recovered from Tweed. Tweed's election
is conceded by a largo majority. Sport
ing men and politicians are betting on
the election of Shandly, Register, over
Sigel. Betting is quiet and even on the
State ticket- The mandamus compell
ing Mayor Hall to appoint a new In
spector of Election, was vacated by
Judge Barnard. The office of the IIo
boken Leader was "gutted" this morn
;dk by unknown parties. It is believed
to have bera done at the instance of
the rival Democratic faction.
Tammany Kakiua Another lleipr
rate ttTorU
New York, Nov. 4.
A member of the Committee of Sev
enty, states that Judge Ledwith sold out
to Tammany during the Rochester con
vention, his reward to be heavy pecuni
ary considerations, besides the Supremo
Judgeship.
Yesterday several of Ingersell's friends
called on Sheriff Brennau. and told him
they had expected Ingersoll back during
the day, bat he had not arrived. They
then submitted the names of persons
who proposed to become Ingersoll's
bondsmen, and the sheriff pronouncing
these satisfactory, it was promised that
Ingersoll should be produced at the
Sheriff's office this morning. Then, un
less the bondsmen should decline to be
come sureties for the defendant's ap
pearance for trial, he will be released.
As to where Garvey is, Sheriff Brennan
has no accurate information but he has
reason to believe that he is somewhere
in Canada, and will eventually return.
After leaving the city Garvey sent in
structions to his brother to pay "all
small claims" against liiui, and several
of them have since been paid.
New York, Nov. 4.
Three women, Victoria C. Woodhull,
Tennessee Claflin and Mary A. Lcland,
registered their names, and hope to be
allowed to vote Tuesday.
The order for the arrest of Ingersoll
come oi tnc evening papers say iney
have information of a scheme which has
been devued by the Tammy ring, for
the purpose of carrying the election by
fraud. Bogus ballot-boxes are being
sub?tituted for the originals, and by con
nivance with the police and other officials
who are to be bribed, tickets of the bo
gus boxes will be counted as genuine
votes. The confession of one of the
gang was the means of bringing the mat
ter t( light.
Bfewr Tork,
New York, November 7.
Election returns from the city come in
slowly. In the fourth district, Tweed is
re-elected Senator by an estimated ma
jority of 12,000; in the fifth district,
Norton of Tammany, is re-elected Sena
tor by a large majority. Woolman, of
Tammany, is elected Senator iu the sixth
district. O'Brien, candidate of the re
form democracy, custom house republi
cans, and committee of seventy, is elect
ed to the senate by an estimated majori
ty of three to five thousand.
French (Tammany) is elected to the
fenate from the eighth district.
Of 21 candidates for the assembly, re
turns indicate thirteen Tammanyites arc
elected.
The Tammany Board of Aldermen and
assistant aldermen is supposed to be re
elected. Spencer and Jones (Tammany) are re
elected Superior Court J udges-
S p. M. Twenty-three towns in rari
our parts of the interior of the State
show a republican gain of 1,300 over
the vote of 1809, when Nelson (demo
crat) had 2,0-11 majority for Secretary of
State. It tins ratio is carried out, the
State would go republican by 50,000 ma
jority. In this city the fourth ward gives 3,03S
for the democratic State ticket, but gives
3,18S against Led with.
One hundred and forty-two towns give
7,042 republican gain. The majority in
the State can hardly go below 3o,0'O.
Townsend Cooke, democrat, is chosen
Senator from the first district.
Pierce and Murphy, democrats, are
re-elected in Kings county,
Among the republican gains are:
Poughkeepsie, 700 Yonkers, 034 ;
Flushing, 158; Rome, 35. And among
the democratic gains are : Hornellsvillo,
101; Binghampton, 431.
Oswego county elects three republican
Assemblymen.
9:00 1'. M. Fifty-sis towns show a re
publican gain of 2,1)00 over the vote of
1809. In Watcrtown the republican
gain is 100, and in Canundaigua 9S.
Jaryis Lord (dem.) is probably re elected
benator in the twenty-eighth, or Mon
roe, district.
10 r. m. From the complexion cf the
returns received from the interior of tbe
State, it would seem the republicans
have elected twenty of the thirty-two
Senators ; they will have a majority in
the Assembly outside ot the citv.
The democratic majority in the city is
estimated at 30,000. In the lower wards
of the city the democrats hold their
own, but in the upper part their losses
are considerable.
Ledwith, generally abandoned by Tam
many, is beaten. In one district Barrett
has 499, and Ledwith none.
1 1:30 P. M. In the eighth election
district of the first ward inspector
Michael J. Cullen was discovered early
this morning in the act of stuffing bal
lots in the ballot box. A citizen saw the
proceeding and called the attention of
the police, but the latter turned their
backs purposely, thus endeavoring to
shield the inspector from public view.
The citizen immediately cotr-rdained to
Judge Hogan, who promptly issued a
warrant for the arrest of Cullen. Judge
Hogan, shortly after ordered the arrest
of election inspector James Bams, of
the seventh district in the same ward,
charged with throwti!i ballots on the
J floor instead of putting them in the
boxes.
Two hundred and twenty-six towns
outside of New Yok and Brooklyn,
show a republican gain of 10,508. Re
publican gain-' -Otsego county, 2UO; Sa
