The Tecuui?ch Chieftain copies the
glorification of the Omaha Herald over
the defeat of the Republican ticket in
Nemaha County, and the credit (?) it
gives Col. Majors for bringing about said
result, and sums ifup as follows:
The OoL deserves that puff. That' -an
excellent, truthful puff. The Colonel
worked hard for uch a compliment from
puch a source. The reward of trcuchery.
The Miue paper compliments and de
fends Jeff Davit, also, for his treaaon.
The Col. has the same credit with both
parties in Nemaha. The same party
that curses Jeff curses the Col., and the
same party that sympathises with old
rebel Jeff to-day sympathises with the
Col. "This sounds strange, and it is
strange," but it is a fact nevertheless.
The Col. 'a laurals, his g!ory, are rtnmifi
takeable and none to envy him them.
Chairman of his party organization, he
improved the opportunity to betray it
into the hands of the enemv. How
much shall it profit a man if he sell his i
own party ami kmc hi- own head by it.
The Col. holds the office of revenue
Assessor for Nebraska by virtue of his
professed Republicanism.
Uk.MK TEST.
At various times during the past ix
mouths we have endeavored to attract
the attention of the Omaha Herald to
the enormous Salt Land Steal attempt
ed by J.Sterling Morton it Co., but
were never able to produee even a grunt
from that usually noisy sheet. The
trial came off this week at Lincoln, and
the Herald was driven to open its mouth
and say something after its particular
friend was beaten on the very points
cited by us, and by the evidence of the
witnet-s which we had called up. We
clip the following from an article in the
Herald on the subject of the trial:
"The lands it) dispute were entered at
Nebraska City by the party from whom
plaintiffs claim title in 159. Patents
were issued for them, but recalled and
cancelled, some two or three years after
wards, upon a decfiaiorj by the Land De
partment that saline lands were reserved
from sale under an Act of Concrem of
1 B54j concerning public lands id New
Mexico, Kan-as and Nebraska. The
right to make this cancellation was the
question involved."
"All imputed fraud on the part of
those connectad with the entry was disapproved-
The lands were regularly
platted, and offered at public sale, and
afterwards entered in the usual manner.
The validity of the entry will be finally
determined only in the court of last re
sort, and upou purely legal questions."
The above is about the lamest thing
we have ever seen in the Herald. When
it asserts that "the lands in dispute
were entered at Nebraska Iry the parti
from whom plaintiffs claim title in
l-5'.t," it shows one of two things, that
it is not posted, else it states what it
kcowsto le incorrect, either one showing
its lameness in defense of its pet scheme
(for we are led to believe, from the
former course of the Herald, that its
voice was hushed inconsequence oT some
financial interest in the matter. ) If we
are correctly informed, Mr. Prey, the
man of whom Martin ft Co. claimed
title, swore that he did not enter the
lend, never sold it to Morton & Co., and
in substance, that the entry must have
been a fraud, as his name was u.-c-il
without his knowledge or consent, and
that these champion stealers did not
even have the manliness to pay him a
cent for having fraudulently used his
name in BO rascally a manner. Again
the Herald "puts its foot into it" when
it says, "Ail imputed fraud on the part
of those connected with the entry was
disapproved." On the contrary, every
fact developed shews even greater anil
more damaging frauds than were ever
before known to the public. Morton
attempts to excuse himself for having
used the name of Mr. Prey in making
the entry by insinuating that he feared
to trust Hopkins, Blade, Calhoun, and
others interested with him in the Steal,
and had the entrys made in Prey's name
so that he could control Prey's action,
and thus, probably swindle his co-workers
in iniquity, if he thought best so to
do. We ask the Herald to say, without
equivocation, whether or no it thinks it
indicates fraud to enter lands in the
name of another, without the knowledge
or consent of the man in whose name
the entry is made and that, too, by a
man who says he knew the lauds were
Saline, and that they cere not properly
in market? Morton is not the man to do
this kind of work without a cause, and
he is not the kind of a man that can
come before the people of this State and
plead that he was ignorant of any of the
facts in the case, even to the fact that
the lands were returned by the deputy
Surveyor as valuable Saline Lands, whieh
record yet stands out in bold relief in
the Surveyor General's office in this
city, the transcript of which must have
been destroyed by Morton and his con
feras, else the entry could never have
been made at all, even in the name of
Mr. Prey.

The triul which came off at Lincoln!
this we k involving the title of valuable i
u i i . -mm
Saline Lands was instituted by Morton :
to eject Green and Smith leases, under
the State. The State as landlord, came
in as defendant, with G'een and Smith
as tenants. The trial involved a com
plete hearing of title, which shows even
a worse state of affairs, and greater ras
cality, than even the BwtnTJt baa shown
or claimed. We understand the evi
dence of Mr. Pray, In whose name the
land was entered, was to the effect that
he never entered the land, and knew noth
ing of it until he was called upon by
Morton ft Co. to transfer the title to
them, which he did icithout considera
tion. It was also from that Samuel
Black (then either Judge or Governor,
we do not remember which) was also an
interested party, and that they all knew
that the land was S:line, and conse
quently they must have known that a
fraud was being perpetrated by some
ono, even if they do claim that it was
not directly committed by them. The
point which Morton fc Co. attempted to
establish was that the Department had
no right to cancel patents after they
were once issued. Judjre Lake thought
differently, and we presume his decision
on this point was based upon the fact
that the local land office was only an
ageut, or a part of the General Govern
ment, hence patents in the local land
office had not yet issued from the Gov
ernment, and that no title had yet pass
ed from the Government to the pur
chaser, and that the Department had
the same control over papers in posses
sion of this subordinate branch that it
would have in the hands of any one of
its clerks. It is believed that -Morton
& Co. will carry the case up to the Su
premo Court of the U. S., but we see
no possibility of obtaining a reversal of
Judge Lake's decision on this point.
They do not seem to claim that the
transaction was fair and without fraud,
but they rest their case solely on the
plea that the fraud had been sufficiently
consummated to hold good.
THE TKOI MLE JtE.VJAIIA.
V e have refrained from any special
remark upon the result of the recent
election in Nemaha, in the hope that
something would transpire to contradict
the report that the Republican ticket
was defeated, to a great extent, through
the efforts of Col. T. J. Majors. We
were slow to believe this, and yet we are
forced to do so. Believing it firmly we
are not slow to condemn it, especially as
it was under peculiar circum stances. Col.
Majors was Chairman of the Republican
County Committee, which called the
nominating convention or rather the
primary election, for this is what was
held and he was also a member of the
Republican State Central Committee.
Aside from these two honorable posi
tions in the party which he has as-i-te 1
to defeat, he held a lucrative oiiioo at
the hands of a Republican Administra
tion, placed there because of his Repub
licanism, and because of nothing else.
Occupying these honorable and profita
ble positions as a Republican, it would
seem to us that the Col. could not have
done less than to keep clear of the cam
peigll entirely, if he did not wish to take
an active part for the ticket nominated.
But no, he seems to have taken an ac
tive part against a portion of the ticket,
and that opposition is accredited wiih
being instrumental in defeating the en
tire ticket. It is not charged by any one,
so far as we have heard, that the candi
dates whom he assisted to defeat were
not good sound Republicans, or that
they were not feirfy nominated by a
majority vote of the Republicans. What
object, then, could Col. Majors have had
tu this defeat except to either gratify a
personal hatred or to give the County
over to the Democrats. We are curious
I to know how the Col. can harmonize his
actions with his professions of Republi
canism. Or. perhaps, he does not m ike
aay further pretentions to Republican
ism t

Among all the incidents of the great
Chicago tire, we have read none more
remarkable, or that seems more miracu
lous, than the following related by the
New York Tribune:
Mr. W. D. Bancker has brought from
Chicago a curious memorial of the great
tire. Among the ruins of the Western
News Company's establishment, where
an immense stock of periodicals and
books was reduced to ashes, there was
found a siugle leaf of a quarto Bible,
charred around the edges. It contained
the first chapter of the Lamentations of
Jeremiah, which opens with the follow
ing words: "How doth the city sit soli
tary that was lull of people ! how i she
lrt - MA I " .

1 no provinces, now is sue tiecoiue tribu
tary ! he weepeth foib in the night,
and her tears are on her checks! among
all her lovers she hath none to comfort
her." And that was the only fragment
of literature saved from tbe News Com
pany's great depot.
Flower Abont the Dead.
If friends would but have the good
taste to place a few simple flowers about
the departed one, such as she or he was
fond of in life, it would be verv fitting,
but it is surely not in taste to overload
the coffin with flowers representing an
amount of money which would do miieh
good to the poor. And then thp custom
of exposing the face of the dead to the
gaze of those making the tour of inspec
tion, which is now almost universal in
country churches, is to me another very
unpleasant feature of funerals. We often
read with interested' the burial rites of
comparatively unknown nations, and arc
orpnsod and amu-ed with their peculi
arities. Would not ours, in their turn,
present some features as curious, if rend
Of by distant people? If persoual friends
wish tott.ke a last look of a deceased
friend, it is surely due to them to do so
alone, without beinz fired nt l.v- o

It shows a lack of consideration and
good sense to keep a caller waiting in a
too often dark and cheerless parlor for
ten or twenty minutes while you dress
yourself elaborately. If possible, receive
your visitors promptly, and in any dress
you may happen to have on, provided
it he neat. Moreover, parlors should
always be supplied with books, pictures,
or something attractive to callers, so
that they need not sit in gloomy idleness

It was an Irishman who wanted to find
a place where there was no death, that
he might go and end his days there. It
was an Irish editor that exclaimed, when
speaking of the wrongs of Ireland, "Her
cup of misery has been for ages overflow
ing, and is not yet full!" It was an
Irih newspaper that said of RnheanWm
that ''He left no children behind him
except a brother, who was killed at the
same time." It was an Irish coroner
who, when asked, how he accounted for
an extraordinary mortality in Limerick,
replied, sadly, "'I can not tell. There
are people flying this year that never
died before." It was an Irish band bill
that announced, with boundless liherali
ty, in reference to a great political dem
onstration in the Rotunda, that "Ladies
without distinction of sex, would be

California boasts that she has the larg

south of Yuba City, in Sutter County,
and consists of over 400 acres. A nurs

area has 25,000 one year old peach trees,
16,000 plum trees, f,000 eastern wal
nuts, -2 ooo apple trees, 500 Italian chest

two year old peach trees, 3,000 cherry
trees of fifteen different varieties; th n
2,500 plum trees in twelve varieties, and
j00 apple. There are besides 5,200 aj

No timber is better worth planting in
fence-rows, kkohen yards, waste places,
or in regular plantations than chestnut.
For posts, rail, picket, stakes, or lumb
er, no lumber is more salable, grows
quicker, or realises a better proportion
ate price. For shade, chestnut trees are
excellent ; dense, spreading, and hand
some in foliage. Once planted, they
need no farther attention, and when cut
down, reproduce themselves abundantly
by means of sprouts. We have cut !
i cm Btnat sprouts that were long and
j large enough for four round post:;, or six, j
j when the two losrer ones were split, and
one rail besides. At this a?e thev are i
large enough to split into two heavy
rails, worth now SUt to eight cents each
in a timber country. We cannot just
now think of any crop that would pay
better than a few cases of thrifty chest
nut sprouts. There is but one disadvan
tage, which is, that chestnuts don't
stand transplanting well. They should
therefore be planted where tlioy urc tic
sired to grow. Probably the best way to
make a plantation is to plow the ground
now, and mark out furrows six feet apart
each way. and at the intersections drop
three nuts; cultivate the ground one
year then seed down to grass. The
grass and the shade together will keep
out weeds, and the ciose planting will
cau-e the young trees to shoot up
straight and lengthy In five years a
good many rails can be cut out, leaving
one tree at each place. In a few years
ihe rdantation needs thinnintr a-'aiu, ind
sprouts will, have taken the place of
those tin t cut out.
Hiarth and Home.
Mrs. Sarah A. Cooke, the lady who
recently brought suit against Brigham
Young, and in whose favor a mixed jury
composed of Mormons and Gentile.-.
rendered a verdict for the full amouot of
her claims yesterday, was, we gleau from
the Davenport Gazette, a resident of
Davenport in lS-lSand 1849. She was
then a music teacher. Her husband
was a book-keeper, lu 1849 they moved
to Molioe, thence to Dububue, and in
1S51 they emigrated to California. They,
however, wen; persuaded to remain in
Salt Lake City, and were considered
.Mormons in theory but not in practice.
Mr. Cooke was subsequently elected
Sheriff, and was killed while attempting
to arre-t a criminal. The murderer was
hung by an excited mob, and $10,000 in

Brigham i'ounjr for safe keeping. Brig
ham represented that he had invested
the money in real estate in Salt Lake
City. A few years later Mrs. Cooke,
while endeavoring to sell a portion of
this property, discovered that the title
w.-is in the Mormon church.
Upon remonstratin:: about the injus
t'ce done her, she was advised to say as
little about it as possible. .Mrs. Cooke

monism. It must be highly gratifying
to all lovers of equity, that the time has
arrived when human justice overrides
the iniquitous decisions even in'doniini

We would advise ail young people to
acquire, in early life, the habit of correct
speaking and writing; and to abandon,
as early as possible, any use of sdaug
words and phrases. The longer you live
the more difficult the language will be;
and if the golden age of youth, the
proper season for the acquisition of lan
guage, be passed in its abuse, the unfor
tunate victim if neglected is, very prop
erly, doomed to talk slang for life. Mon
ey is not necessary to procure this edu
cation. Every man has it in his power.
IIe has merely to use the language
which he reads, instead of the slang
whieh he hears; to form his taste from
the best of bpeakers and poets in the
country; to treasure up choice phrases
in las memory and habituate himself to
their use, avoiding at thes.inie time that
pudantic precision and bomba t whieh
show the weakness of vain ambition
rather than the polish of au educated
mind.
