Seyeral papers in the ftate have mada thcrnnelres pnrtioularly" uneasy about "what somebody lias taiJ that Dr. Larsh has dona. We bare watched this matter somewhat carefully, and we GnJ that, so far, nothing bat the bnoie old Omaha Herald howl has been developed. Ve hare this, and only this, to pay about the matter ; if the Omaha Herald, or any other growler, knows of anything wherein Dr. L.ir.h has wronged the State, let them particularize, and at "once bring hiui up to tho rack ; but this way of insinuating that a man lias com mitted a wrong, and doing it in a way that loaves hini no grounds for defence, "because there is nothing really charged, ir. one of the meanest things that a news paper can be guilty of. Ve have no de fense to make for Dr. Larrh we are not sure that he either needs or deserves any further than to ak for hini that justice which every man under the gov ernment is entitled tn, be b.3 of high or low degree. The official nets of every mm are public property; but because a man holds an office it is no reason why he should be proclaimed as a scoundrel without an exhibition of the proofs. He .should bo entitled to the i-atiie respect, at least, that he would be as an individu al, and the Mine evidence .should be re quired to prove a man an ofllcial rasoa! that would Le required to f-how that he had eauimitted a felony. This custom of howling about an officer simply be taus he is an officer is reprehensible in tha extreme, and it is about time tho public condemned it arid demanded that when a man or h newspaper ciies fraud or wrong doing they should produce the proof or be themselves branded as wi!l--ful maligners of personal character. Frcm the present appcaranco of the Larsh controversy we are led to exclaim that it'a all "bosh," and that Dr. Miller is much more ready to cry out against Dr. Lar&h for an imaginary evil than he was or is against J. Sterling morton & Co. for a fraud and a swindle which has been rrovea in open court and pulsed upon by a jury of their peers. Kither give us facts or nothing.

I.Otrt We publish, to-duy, a lengthy letter .written from this city t the St. Louis Jirpullicoii, with the above caption. The writer had a convr-t idea of the im portance of the trade of the rcat north wt, and the necessity of having St. Louis interests puvh out railroads to vat eh th o trade which is now going t Chicago by the vaiious routes spoken of in the letter, and which.roat h tthnt to and take the rich tr-Ju which leeiti i.!.wiirs to them- The writer fctins to VavJ had what is known in this locality s tlie Omaha and Chillicothe llailrcjd in vk-w at th time he was wri.jr., aud it is to this feature of the ..UeT that we desire to call the attention f St. Louis iuterests. While there is .- ques-tion but the Chillicothe Hue is an important one to St. Loui, yet it uj ears to us thit the line along the west ;lt.k of the Missouri river wouli be far more o. The Chillicothe line would only trike the trade of the great agricultural ,rgious went of the Missouri at a single j.oint Omaha and that being the - point of greatest competition with Chi cago roads and of as little local freight as any point in Nebraska ; while the liue alonir the west bank of the Missouri would reach the same point and contest for the baiiie trade, while it would take the additional trade of the great agri cultural regions of Nebraska south of the Platte river, crossing the 11. & M. It. R. at this city, the Midland road at Nebiaska City, the l. & Ft. Kearney road at Crownville, and intersect the Atchison and Nebraska road at Falls City or llulo, in Richardson county. It in a well known law of commerce, al though ono which we cannot give a proper solution ?f, that freights going m any direction are seldom, if ever divert d from their cours-o after crossing a large stream; henco the Chillicothe route would not catch a ingle pound of Nebraska or other western freight, while the line on the west of the river would be in fair competitiou for every thicg from the great weft. Freights baring once 6tarted east on any oue of tho gret lines mentioned in the letter cannot easily be diverted, as St. Louis merchants should well understand from experience. They should also under stand that it is only at riter lines that freichts are diverted- As an evidence of this, how much w-stern trade has St. Ijoais ever been able to secure from the line intersecting the Ii. & M. at O'.tum wa? The ideas of the Republican cor respondent are correct, and we hoje he insy continue to agitate the people of that city nutil thr-y are aroused to tho importance of what they arc losing ; but his efforts transferred to the river route, will, in our judgment, be of far more benefit to St. Loui. His letter has al ready had the effect to call out a forcible editorial on the subject from the Repub lican. Let the people along the line of the river (or Trunk) route aeit to lay this matter propeily before St. Louis, acd we have not a doubt but it will in sure the building ot the road.

WW 11 A Q A VOL. 7, OUR FILLMORE LETTER. men pres amd fkf.c speech. nESPEuiA, Nov. 9, 1ST1 Dear Herald : Three of the most prominent planks in our political plat form arc : "A free press, free speech and free soil." Here, upon the free soil of Nebraska, we cheerfully grant to the press perfect freedom, and claim at the 9ame time the right of free speech, oral or written. If in the exercise ot its free dom the press "steps upon our corn,' we believe we have tho right to use the pen and the press to express oar desire for the reuiovai of is ponderous pedals from our plantations. In the Uehald of Oct. J9th, we read I'rofessor Butler's "pencilings by tho way westward from the Capital of Nebraska, to the stamp ing ground of the buffalo." We give the Prof, credit for a fair description of the soil, grasses, wafer, timber, climate, Ac" ; but wc do feel as though he was a little ''heavy'' on our "bed linen"' "biled shirts," and our "Nebrarka brown fronts." I'ermit us to make a few quotations from the Professor: "We talk sometimes derisively, about the makc-shlfts for houses which we g'i le by the tents, cabins, framed and finished with a single load of lumber, dug-outs where the lay of the land favors such a troglodyte burrowing, and espe cially sod house?, Nebraska brown fronts." Again, at School creek : Hero is a railroad eating house and lodg ing tent, lialt a dozen taria nouses in tha distance, and four saloons, close at hand tho creatures of a yetserday. Wc saw two workmen, finding it hard to be idle, and innocent, dead drunk and others gambling." "Wc spread our blankets in an old cattle car. litre we uleep hard and coll, yet delightfully." "Nobody in this western camping ever complains of .soiled sheets, for no sheets whatever are ever seen or thought of; nor yet is a "biled shirt." "All bed ding and linen are made of wool." "Our cook is an African, His crockery is all of tiu and he gives us our coffee in a sort of pie-plates. Appe tites, if not ravenous, would be fastidi ous." If the Professor had called at cither of the half dozen farm houses he eaw in the distance, at School creek, instead of at tho four cm mills which have sprung up since Mr. John Fitzgerald left School creek, he would not have had to beg the privilege of sdecping in the old cattle car, or been obliged to assooi ftvuYtf 'a'aVS'ttecn" rcceive.l ns coVdially as he wjs at "Mr George Martins," on the Platte, and he would have been as hos pitably entertained. He would have had the pleasure of listening to de.ighttul music, from the piano or organ had clean linen sheets, a good feather bed, and a "biled shirt" if he had told the lady of the house that ha r.eeica a change. The coffee woull have been served in goblets that would have ploaed the most "fastidious," and given h:m a "ravenous appetite. The "four saloons at School creek" are tho only "grog shops" between Crete and Denver City, aad these will ' play out as soon as 'Pt " and "Hans." leave School Creek for "new lettings." Many of the settlers in Fillmore and Clay counties have but just come to the State. They have put up temporary houses, to protect the "wife and wee ones" from the storm:? of winter, intend ing to build the coming summer. We dislike to have eastern "biled 6hirt" aristocrats, who "can't drink in our young Hooker hopes," ridicule our In diana soldiers' homestead," or its 14x16 house for honest, loyal, loving hearts, dwell there as well as in the lordly man sion of the Eastern nabob. Out upon euch misrepresentations of our strug gling frontiersmen, who through fear arc honest and nobly energctie. Prof. Butler, being a perfect stranger, wc can onlyjudgs of him by the company we find him in at School creek, and out of respect, advise him to hasten home, put a brick to his feet, take something hot and go to bed. Wc have labored hard for three years past for the settlement and development of the southwestern counties of Nebraska, and we get our "back up" whenever Kastern people or papers ridicule us or our neighbors, and wo would suggest that critics use a little discretion and moderation until the B. Si M. Railroad is completed so as to im port building materials and take away our farm products. Then we should be happy to have them Tisit Fillmore and Clay counties. We believe that our friend, the edit or of the Herald, must have been ab sent from hii "sanctum" when the Pro fessor's pencillings found their way into the Herald, and consequently charge the entire blame to its "devil." We have inconveniences which vex us exceedingly, in which wc most earnestly deire the interposition of the men of our State and the officers of tho Gov ernment. We are comfortable, and would be happy in our little sod houses aud dug-outs, if we had a trusty mail ar rangement. Our letters and papers are delivered to Tom. Dick, and the devil, after having be n "packed" all over the northwestern States, and after having tetn read by every sneaking greaser on the journey, that can read. We re ceived our fisst copy of the Herald Match 10th, 1S70. To-day there is mis sing from our files nine (9) numbers. Our first copy of the State Journal was received Dec 30th, 1S70, and ten (10) numbers are lost from the files, making seventy-six pages of really valuable read- ing matter and general intelligence which we have lost through the carelessness of mail agents. But this is not all. We received our first No. of the Nebraska Statesman June 4th, 1870, and have never missed a single paper, every No. coming to hand "on time." We catre to the conlusion, long ago, that "there is something rotten ia Denmark." It is now nearly six years since the first settlement in Fillmore Co. To-day wo have plenty of post-ofEccs and post masters, but (God save the integrity of the King), no Government mail route, If the proper -authorities, visitors and tourists, would interest themselves iu this matter they would greatly benefit these western counties, and receive our lasting gratitude. We have often made strenuous efforts to get subscriptions for the Herald and Journal. The answer we invariably re ceive is "wc don't want to pas- for a pa per until we get regular and safe mails A country destitute of a well regulated ma;I system is a wiieierness, a desert, and dreary place to a person of intelli gence. Itespectfuiij, Ahaz. The StHte Nnllnc 1 n litis. From tho Lincoln Stato Journal, The case of J. Sterling Morton vs the State of Nebraska, involving the ti tle to the Jitncoln saline lands, has been fccided in favor of the State bv the Ih-tnct Court. e are now told that this is not the end. Morton is to appeal to the Supremo Couit of the United tates, it it tikes mm ten vcars to ceU there, lhe Umaha Herald has been trying to stuff Deonle with the idea that Morton's claim is a just and equitable one; that the beet interest of the State would be promoted by a surrender of title to Morton ; that the action of the Radical authorities in holding the lands for the State is highly injurious, by pre venting the investment of capital iu the salines. The fact is, Morton's flaim is a huge fraud. It was conceived by Black, Buchanan's corrupt Democratic Governor of Nebraska Territory, and through collusion with thoo immacu late Democrats, John Candle Box, Cal houn, ijuchanaii s Surveyor General ; Andy Hopkins, his Registrar of the Ne braska City Land office; and J. Ster ling Morton, Secretary of the Territory, these lands were fraudulently entered. Thee Bcuioerarie efnoo holders intended and attempted to sreal these lands, aid the Omaha Herald is very much mis taken if it thinks that lapse of twelve year has so entirely obliterated all trace, or recollection of these men and their doings-, as to enable it, wi'.h all its boldness and sagacity, to suevessf ully champion the thieves and enable one of them to reap the fruits of the Democratic frauds of 18.08 and T.U. The Herald says of this cae, in the District Court, that "the evidence ac quitted tbe plaintiff of fraud in the en try, aud that the lands wo;e rogulariy platted. Xc " It -w - - is such a flagrant case that we are con strained to say that, either through igno rance or something wore-e, its .statement in this case is untrue. The evidence that dam us Surveyor Genend Calhoun is in the fact that the lands were rot regularly platted. The field notes showed the lands to Le saline, but the township plats constructed by Calhoun for tho Land offiv-e, and which should have been in accordance with the tkdd notes in the Surveyor General's ofUce, showed nnlh- iu(j conroring the salir:e character of the land. This is a part of the documentary evidence iu this case. The testimony of Prey was, we are informed, to tho effect "that he did not know anything about the entry of these lands in his name, until called upon by Morton to transfer them to himself and . ... r . i company; that he uiu transier ttiem ana received no consideration theietor. Morton it Co. have stood tor several years, througn tneir irauouieni ciaim, in the way of the development ot these salines, and no-.v we are told by the or gan of the thieves, that this previous lot of scamps propose to continue as an impediment, until tlipy get to the Su preme Court of the United States, if it takes ten years. The interests of the State may suffer or bo destroyed to the value of hundreds of thousands of dol Iars, and the Herald instead of. raising its voice against the outrage, either ap proves or is conveniently silent.

PLA-nsMOL-m, Neb., Sept. 13, '71. To the Editor of the IZejntblioin : Silt: It has seemed to me that you could not render ta your city of St. Louis a more invaluable ervice than by getting up and printing in your valuable paper a map, if you plea.-e, on a supplemental sheet, showing the various railway Iine3 from Chicago north of you stretching out for the vast and growing trade of the country to which tha beading of this ar ticle calls attention, and contrasting it with the feeble efforts of St. Louis to grasp ami compete lor this valuable trade. There seems to me no other wav by which St. Lo intelligently edue-i'cd up to the imperative necessity of doing something mora than she has yet done to control her legitimate share of this trade, now vast, and growing with wonderful rapidity. Such a map, with a well-written article explanatory of the gigantic efforts made by Chicago to govern aud control the whole trade of this country, would at a glance do more to make St. Louis realize her noeds than a thousand editorials on the subject that few readers would comprehend without such a man before their eves. Being a St. Louisan and here tempo rarily on business, it has seemed to me that I might render to my city some ser vice by cilling attention to this .ubieet and making some sut'cestions. Omaha is at present the great startircr point for tho Slates, the territories and the Pacific coast trade. That this trade is regarded as important and valuable is proved by the number of railroads which Chicago has now completed and is competing at Omaha fbr it. Let us see what railroads Chieatrn has laying their iron grasp upon this trade. completed to Omaha, a:;d what other lines urn being built to make shorter Hues in her interest by tapping the Un- 1 ui (Omaha) Pacific railwav at F.irt Kearney, and then let us see what St. ! T - .-ir . . i ; or juis'is duing to compete for ih great ide of thisgrcat western empire, which iiaue or tins great western eiupn is growing and increasing in importance wilh a rapidity that no one can fuilv comprehend unless he travels throueh the country and .-.ees for him-'tii. To beirin with th-: roads now completed from Chicago to Omaha. 1. The Illinois Central B. II. now owns what is called the Iowa division of the Il!irr:s Central railroad. If begins, at Dubuque, runs West by Fairley, CVdar, Iowa Fai's. Fort Doderc, Plymouth, and to Sioux City on the Missouri river, and then down the Mo. river to Omaha, but has made a short cut-off from Missouii Va'ley Junction out to Fremont, on the Omaha Pacific road. 2. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad, bccinnuig at .Chicago runs, to Clinton, on the Mississippi river ctojm;! 'do, to Marshalltown, to Ames, to B.iorishoro. New Jefferson, Dcnnison, to Missouri Valley Junction by cut-off to , Fremont. 3. The Chicago, Bo. k Island and Pa cific railroad from Chicago strikes the Mississippi river at Rock Island, and runs we:-t througn tow.t ireru noes Island to Wiitoif; Iowa City, .darcngo. l)es Moines, tho capital of Iowa, and thence to Omaha. 4. The Chicago Burlington and Oum- cy (this road and the Hannibal and St. Joseph road) is the most formidable an tagonist to St. Louis interests. This road, as ail know, runs from Chicago to Burlington in Iowa, with a main arm running into Quiucy, in Illinois, crossing the Mississippi river with a railway bridge at each point. At Burlington it assumes the name of the Burlington and Missouii river railroad, and runs wtst, in Iowa, through the towns of Mt. Piea.sant, Ottumwa, Albia, O-ela, Al ton and Bed Oak, to PLttsmouth on the Missouri river, and thence up the Mis s.ousi river .from Piattsmou'h seven teen miles to Omaha. At Plattstuouth this road is building to fort Kearney, on the Omaha Pacific, which will give it a much shorter line to the Paciiic coast, than any of its rival Chicago competi tors, ft has a laud grant which will more than pay the who'e cost of the road. It has now one hundred and twenty miles of the road eompleted and will be finished to Fort Kearney by the first of January. 1872. It is tbe gov ernment aid road that Mr. Stugeon of our city was appointed government com missioner to examine. The Quincy arm of the Chicago, Burlingtoa and Quiucy railroad crosses th? river at Quincy nd connects with the Ilatmibal and St. Joseph road. 5. Tbc-r j is a railroad building from Keokuk through the southern tier of Iowa counties bordering on Missouri to Nebraska City, on the Missouii rivor. From Nebraska City a road is already constructed to Lincoln, the capital of Nebra-ka, where it intersects tho' Bur lington and Missouri liver railroad that wi'l be completed to Fort Kearney by the first of January, 1ST2. G. There is a railroad called the North Missouri Central railroad being construct cd from a point on the Missouri liver opposite Quincy, through the northern tier of Missouri counties to Nebraska City. 7. The Hannibal and St. Joseph road which has been the great strong right arm of Chicago, co-operating with tho Chicago, LJui r.ugton and Quincy raiiroad and the Michigan Central. At Cameron on its main liue, it throws off an arm for Kansas City; at St. Joseph, it throws off an arm to Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City by the Kansas City, St. Joseph, Council Bluffs and Omaha road, aud from St. Joseph by the same road extends north to Nebraska City, Plattsmouth, Council Bluffs and Omaha At St. Joseph it is rapidly building a railroad west to Fort Kearney and ex pects to reach the latter point within a year, when it claims that it will have the shortest liue to San Francico. This makes it of the vastest importance to St. Louis that she owns and controls the independent line into St. Joseph from Richmond, and that it be not permitted to pass into adverse hands. From the foregoing it is seen what powerful monied corporations are at work sappinc this trad -s from St.. Louis. What has sbe to oppose? Cau St. Louis command the means? If so, how? Something must be done. By a scratch she out-numbered Chicago in the last census. Can she maintain this suprema cy? She cannot unless she is up and doing. What must she do, what cau she do, is the question that, every real estate man, merchant, mechanic and all who have nei welfare at heart should be asking themselves? Will she imitate the example of Cioeimra-!, tkat recently 4 mm THUItSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, IS71. voted ten mijlions, which she regarded as a gift for railroads South, or will she elo nothiug? or, worse than nothing, break down the only interest that is making a bold and manly fiaht for the great trade we have called attention to from the rsorth, Northwest, the tetrito nes, the plains, and he Pacific coast? It is understood that the North Missou n rai'roaa nns succeeded in tormmg a combination with the Pennsylvania Cen tral railway, the most powerful railway corporation m the country, with the roots of its gigi-.ntic trunk planted into Hie hearts ot the cities ot JNew lork, Philadelphia, Baltimore and ashimr ton, and its influence and branches, trunk and arms, reaching into the very vitals ot this country. It had come up to St. Louis bv the St. Louis, Vaudalia and Terre Haute railroad. It is understood to have a coutroliing interest in the Kansas Pacific road. To secure for St.- Louis the influence of this powerful corporation combined with the Kansas Pacific and the Chicago, Alton and St.- Lcuis are maiters of the vastest moment to St. Louis. This accomplished, and the North Missouri road will have united with it in tho interest of St. Louis some thing like the moneyed power which has done such wonders tr Chicago. Your North Missouri road needs to day millions for maehino-shops, depot grounds and a thou.-and other purposes, it should have to-day one thousand more cars and scveuty-Gve good locomotives, It needs money to put its independent line into ot. Joseph, it needs money rapidly to complete its road from IJru.is wick to Chillicothe aud Omaha, with which, and the Kan.-as Pacific coast may be measurably controlled she needs money to push her connection from her main line' up on into Iowa and hold it break her do wn and let iit Louis loose the valuable connection this road is making for her, and ten miHt'ims of dollars will not repay the damage to her. She will lose connections she can never regain. You Mr. Editor should arouse our people to the iuiportanc-e of these matters to their interest. Certainly if they com prehend them as I do in tho field where I can survey the whole ground and see and know what is gcing on they would be up and doing. These would be no quarrel with the North Missouri men. I but cr;th citizcir'of St. Louis would be running to them with the question, what can I do to aid you in your glorious work for our city and state ? The citv of St.- Louis could well a fiord this day to vote two millions of dinlars as a donation to secure the completion within a year of the road lrom iiunswick to Omaha. If there beam' jealousy or rivalry between this lino and the Kansas Pacific there should be none for they cannot militate against each other, but wili each aid St. Ijouis, and help them tho more success fully to compete fbr trade for St. Louis and for the North Missouri in which the Kansas Pacific will be interested. Be sides this Brunswick and Omaha road, its whole length passes through one of the best agricultural portions of Iowa and Missouri, and its local business will grow s nd make the road pay and be of inestimable value to St. Louis.. JxjKiile OYfifie. ground for St. Louis with all the roads we have named- I have no interest whatever in these matters further tbrin as a St. Louisan. as I am not connected nor interested o;nci aliy or otherwise with any raiiroad in Missouri. I wrote what in my heart I believe to bo iheimperalive demands for St. Louis. If the combination of the Pennsylva nia railroad can be formed with that of -the North Missouri it will give St. Louis and the North -Missouri men what is needed. Let St. Louis Rid its accom plishment and it will lesult in pushing other arms north into Iowa and in ail di reciion for St. Louis. It will cause the expenditure of millions of money in St. Louis in building the grandest union depot in the wcr'd, and in giving us a thousand benefits bevoud our power now to comprehend. Let whatever difli cuhies may exist be settled so that the hands' and hearts that would help St. Louis may not be fettered for a day. A .Sphere for IVoiitnu. Women are naturally good economists, says the (ngregationalist. They are apt at understanding how to make limit ed means go as far as possible. If a man and his wife arc united in the desire to get rich, the man is likely to think more about earning mouey, the wife will attach more importance to saving it. Almost every American earns money enough to hi well off, and in time to be rich. If he does not become so, it is, in many cases, because he bas no wife; or because he does not take l.er into his counsels. He is "full of enterprise and makes an income, and if he does not prosper, it is often because ha decs not hold on to it. His wife, very likely, has tbe faculty of conservation which he lacks; and if he has the shrewdness to enlist her in his plans, he may liud his fortune made. In Continental Europe, book-keeping is a part of a well-taught farmer's daughter, and the wile presides over the finances of the establishment. With us, woman's aptitude in the promotion of;, material prosperity is too little thought of; and a woman, who, as a g'nl, was untaught in respect to judi cious economy, makes an expensive wife. Her husbaud perhaps keeps her in ig norance of his finances, purposely. If ho is prosperous, she becomes accus tomed to plenty of money, and ill-prepared fbr reverses. If he is not pros pered, she has to bear the pinehings of povcrt' without knowing how to help him avoid the pressure. Marriage would b3 easier and happier, if younz women were taught tho princi ples of account-keeping, and systematic habits in tespect to finances; and if the young huband would take his wife into his confidence, and make the income and outgo, and the accumulation of the first few thousands of dollars, a matter of common interest. An American girl of average intelligence and good sense can make the fortune of a man whose love she enjoys, and who will give her for the purpose a full share in the responsible control of the income of the household. She will not generally be able to enter into his business plans, but it she knows his wages, salary or current profits, and his personal espouses, and can thus foresee what the household has to rely on, she will characteristically be ready "to cut the coat according to the cloth," and will usually be more scrupulous than he, to lay aside something every season as the beginning of their fortune.
