privilege of reporting to vou the pro
ceedings of a School Exhibition, given
at tne close or school m District .No.
b'J. The exhibition was given under
the management of our teacher, Mr.
Howard W. Zink. The entertainment
was given in George Lathrop's Grove,
the night of the lstof July. Although
the.wcather was very unfavorable for
a grova exhibition, still there were be
tween two and three hundred jeople
present, lverythmg passed off pleas
antly, and the exhibition was decided
by all to be the most successful on
held in this part of the count'. Our
school here is in a flourishing condi
tion. The spring and summer term

ars. Mr. Zink starts for Iowa on next
Monday. He leaves the District with
the good wishes of all, and the board
have engaged his services for the com

Harpers .Magazine comes to us a
week earlier than usual this month in
consequence of the publication of Long-
fellows poem, delivered on the 50th an
niversary of his class at Boudoin Col
lege. It is a very fine production.
Gen. Frank P. Blair, Ex-Senator
from Missouri, a prominent Union
General during the war, and one of the
ablest men in the country, died at his
home on the 8th inst. He was shame
fully treated by the Mo. democracy in
his later years, but the people of St.
Louis gave him a great ovation at his
funeral.
THE LAST EXCITEMENT.
The City Council becoming tired of
the "no fund" cry, has been punching
ui the Treasurer to levy on the proper
ty of non-taxpayers and test the validi
ty of last years taxes.
So on Monday the Marshal began by
levying on Mr. Dovey's hams, Tuesday
he went for Geo. Fairfield, D. H,
"Wheeler, Jonas Buttery and Dr. Jno.
Black. Wednesday evening the streets
were blocked every few paces by curi
ous readers of the notices of sale post
ed up by Mr. Murphy.
They gobbled Buttery's horses,
Wheeler's carriage,Fairfield's light wag
on and Dr. Black's horses and buggy.
D. II. WHEELER
left for Omaha Tuesday as soon as the
battle began and got out a temporary
injunction forbidding further levies
antil the main case could be argued be
fore Judge Lake on Tuesday next. No
matter what the decision may be, we
may look for some fun when the prop
erty seized comes to be disposed of fi
nally.

faith, in not paying the original bonds,
and by the further successful attempt
to force them Into a ruinous comprom
ise, they would be morally and legally
released from all obligations on that
bond.
BUT AS A MATTER OF FACT
And justice, they want it distinctly
understood, that they do not intend to
remove
ANY MORE SHOPS, TEUSONS,
Or equipments from Plattsmouth, and
that the present removal was not made
in a spirit of retaliation, nor to suifc
the whims of certain officers of the
Company, but was an
AIlsOLVTE BUSINESS NECESSITY
brought about by this state of affairs.
The great freight lines on other roads
centre in Omaha, the Stock shippers
and traveling men centre there also,
and the B. & M. found it impossible to
compete with other roads and hold
their own unless their Superintendent
and freight department were placed
.there they could see and know this
class of men, which could not be ac
complished at Plattsmouth.
The wholesale trade of Omaha, ship
ping west, is considerable, and the
shippers wanted to see the railroad
men, and not be obliged to telegraph
to P., for rates, &c.
OFFICERS OF OTHER ROADS
with whom the B. & M. often have bu
siness always pass through and stop at
Omaha. In short they were losing
money by staying at P. and as a plain
business proposition removed to Oma
ha for the present.
LASTLY
The railroad company do desire the
good will and kindly feelings of the
people at P. and along the whole line ;
they realize that their interests and
success are identical with those of the
people they do business amongst, espe
cially do they hope the people of Platts
mouth will accept this earnest protest
of good will and fair dealing and rest
assured that no removals or changes
are to be made, or ever will be
on account of, or in consequence of
past differences of opinions.
THE WEEK.
THE HERALD'S OPINION".
Without entering at largo into
the
Partial Removal of the B. & M. Head
quarters to Omaha.
The week has been prolific of local
excitements. Among the most promi
merits of the above case on either side,
nent, and bidding fair at oue time to
COUNTY MATTERS- A CARD.
To tliA Tax Piiyer$ of Cast County,
It is nit my ortc to rush into print, in
tlcK-nscol any party or person, w lien tn y
chance to be unjustly assailed bj another.
It would, however, seem to be but an act
of justice that I should take it upon my-
eelf, in view of some recent statements
made to some of the taxpayers and citi
zen of the county, to defed an officer
ugai nst soaie unjust and untruthful as
eeit ions made by one of the County
Commissioners.
If. us I am informed, Mr. M. L. White
stated that the Commissioners, or he had
been hounded by Air. J. C Cummins day
after day, and month after mnth to se
cure the allowance, by them of his claim
for services in getting up some old delin
qucnt tax matters, he stated what is not
true; as Air. Cummins never urged his
claim oftcner than upon three or four dif
ferent occasions.
If he said that Air. Cummins had t. c
impudence to a. k the Commissioners to
memorialize the Legislature for the pas-
uaee of a Relief Act to authorize them to
allow said claim, and stated tliat he did
not willinely sign bis name to sucii a
memorial ; or, by his language, left the
impression upon tb minds of his hearers
thit he did not sign such memorial with
out hesitation, he stated an untruth, or
maio a false impression.
If Air White stated, in defense of their
not allowing said claim, that he had figur
ed, to the satisfaction of the other mem
bx-rs of the Board, that Air. Cummins'
lfccs amount to nve thousand dollars per
vcar, , he muot, evidently, have used
. bridge figures to arrive at that sum.
Aow, tuc tacts are tnese ana not Ding
more.' When Mr. Cummins came into
office, there was a large amount of
old delinquent taxes to be hunted out of
several tax books of years past ; interest
and penalty to be collected preparatory
to putting the same into the hands of a
collector, as well as preparing the same
for the printer, for which labor he was
compelled to employ extra help, and pay
the same, in cash, out of his own pocket,
his own individual labor on said job not
taken into the account. He lay out of
his money for more than a year, and only
asked to be reimbursed, without asking
any interest. All this labor and expense
properly belonged to his predecessor in
office. But the Commissioners instruct
ed him to do the work, and he did it,
The Commissioners conceded that he
ought to be paid, but held that there wis
no law to warrant them in making the
allowance.
In regard to the amount of foes receiv
ed by the Treasurer, I simply refer the
people to the statement of the 'Condi
tion of theTreasur" published iu bth
paper the past spring. Out of his fees
hehas had to pay his own clerkhire.
The conclusion I leave with the honest
people of Cass County to work out for
themselves. J. N. WISE.

cause trouble, was the removal of the
Superintendent's Office and the head of
the Freight Department to Omaha.
The quiet and good-natured citizens of
l'lattsmoutn awoke on i: riday morn
ing and found that Air. Irving, Super
intendent, with- his clerks, and Air.
Cowles, with his Clerks, had silently
folded their tents the afternoon before
and as quietly pulled out of the town
limits for Omaha.
On Friday morning, when tho in
formation became well known, there
was a grand whirl of excitement and
much strong talk indulged in. The peo
ple crowded around the County offices.
and began examining the records and
the so called bonds and agreements, by
which the B. & AL were supposed to
be bound to maintain headquarters in
Plattsmouth. In so doing, it was found
that the County Commissioners had
surrendered the bond entered into by
Air. Strong, Attorney for the B. & At
in Iowa, at the time the original bonds
were delivered to the R. R. Co. This
caused
EXCITEMENT NO. 2,
and for a while absorbed the interest
in the R. R. removal, and changed the
course of indignation somewhat from
the railroad officials to county officers
and their legal advisers. If words
could annihilate, both R. It's, and Co.
Corns." would have fared hard on that
day. A few of the quiet, determined,
and better posted of our citizens began
to hunt out every scrap of information
bearing on the original transactions
between Strong and the County, and
had not the B. & AI. moved as quietly
as they did, it is probable they would
have needed a longer train and heav
ier engine to move "them when they
did go.
TUE MERCHANTS,
and all the smaller business men felt
exceedingly blue, charging that they
had been sold out and defrauded of
their rights somehow, and threatening
dire vengeance on the true parties
whenever it should be sifted to the
bottom. The report of the "Investigat
ing Committee" now in session sets
forth very fairly the peoples side of the
question, and we recommend its care
ful reading.
TIIE RAILROAD COMPANY'S SIDE.
Desiring to give all parties a fair hear
ing in thisjnatter, the Herald has ob
tained the views of the railroad men.
and herewith presents their side of the
question direct from Alr.Irving himself.
In the first place they emphatically as
sert that the county first broke faith
with them in refusing to pay the inter
est on the original bonds, and after a
wearisome and expensive litigation
forcing them into a compromise, by
which they surrendered $160,000 of
bonds and interest, for the sake of get
ting the other $100,000 hereafter in
peace and quietness.
THEY DENY
the validity of the Strong bond, claim
ing that he had no authority to enter
into such an agreement, was never au
thorized to by the stockholders at
Boston, and moreover, never was the
Attorney or agent of the B. & M. in
Nebraska. That the bond was so much
waste paper in fact, but causing in
numerable questions and annoyance
to the company, in constantly explain
ing it to their factors and moneyed
men east.
This view was agreed in by all the I
Attorneys present at the set
tlement, and it was surrendered
in open and fair daylight.
That, as far as they were concerned,
they had nothing to conceal and no
favors to ask ; they simply stood . on
their plain, square, legal rights, and
were willing tho whole world should
have known of the terms of the settlement.
They consider that, by the breach of
the Herald proposes to view the sit
uation as it is, and deal in a few facts,
for future guidance. It is useless to
wrangle and heat ourselves up in this
weather about who has been most to
blame, the company or the people, or
whether the Strong (woak) bond was
good. It would have been better if
the terms of the compromise had been
published to tho world, at the time.
THE REAL SITUATION
is just this: the bondtsgiven up. The
company have found it absolutely nec
essary to remove certain offices to Oma
ha, until a change in tho whole man
agement of the road may take place.
WHAT HAVE WE LOST ?
a Superintendent and Freight Agent
with their clerk, nine persons in all.
who probably spend $10,000 here year
ly. Air. Taylor, Treasurer, and his
force remain, Air. Holdrege, Ass't Su
perintendent, with the train dispatch
es and all the telegraph force remain.
There is no talk of, and no intention
of removing the Alachine Shops. Here
is our loss.
WHAT WE MIGHT GAIN:
The power and grit to stand alone.
It is folly, and the Herald, has al
ways told you so, to sit idly down and
wait for some railroad to make you a
town, to give you business, to support
your families. Get up and dust your
selves. Go to work and make the
town a neuclus for manufacturing.
Get in better stocks of goods, drum up
a small wholesale trade it can be
done.
BRIDGE TIIE PLATTE RIVER
By a good free wagon bridge at ouce ;
we can divide the trade of Sarpy Coun
ty with Omaha, our live stock and
grain market here can compete with
Omaha, and the more business you do,
and the more pluck you show, the"bet
ter shipping terms the R. R. will give
you. You can start a wagon traia
to Omaha for freight, and a stage line
for passengers, when your bridge is
built, and compete with the R. R. it
self. Don't whine and beg and growl
at the R. R. Alake yourselves as inde
pendent of her as you can, and she'll
soon come to you. This paying a R. R.
to come to your town by a heavy load
of taxes is played out. Alake your town
a point that the Railroads will be glad
to come to, and can do business at, and
they'll run races to reach you first, and
spend the money out of their own
pockets to get there.
strike high!
Go for a wagon bridge across tho Mis
souri! It can be done. A little more
money than you would have wasted
on the Trunk R. II, and have on the
B. & AI. already, would do it, and it
would pay. Think of it! the only wag
on road across the Alissouri for hun
dred of miles ! It would bring trade
from the whole country across here,
give us a chance at Council Bluffs by
wagon road, and advertise us from
Dan to Bersheba. Try it! Don't sit
down and fancy that railroads have a
patent on the only way to travel. They
hav'n't. The old road is left yet.
STOP YOUR IDLE HOME QUARRELS.
and unite the whole county and city in
some good useful work of internal im
provement or manufacturing and be-,
come sturdy independent freeholders
the R. R. will come to you fast enough
if you do this. '
AS A MATTER OF DOLLARS AND CENTS,
you have not as yet lost by the remov
al, $10,000 yearly. We might take Dr.
Black's plan and abolish our expensive
city government and that would put
more than $10,000 yearly on our side.
RUT WE ARE GOING TO GET
a good Professor for our school and his
family with six or seven students who
live with him and the prospect of more
to come, there is talk of a foundry
starting here, and Jno. R. Clark is com
ing back to live with us again and we
wouldn't give his influence and busi
ness value for any ten R. R. men we
know. Hurrah for the Centennial year
and riattsmouth.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF
INVESTIGATION REGARDING
THE COUNTY RECORDS
To the People of Cass County :
The undersigned, having been ap
pointed a committee, held at Platts
mouth on July Gth, 18. o, for the pur
pose of examining the records of said
County, relative to transactions in re
gard to the build5nT of bridges and
other matters, respectfully sofcmit the
following:
The committee have examined the
records of said county in regard to the
so called compromise of the litigation
between the commissioners of the
county, and tho B. & AI. R. R. Com
pany, and find that in the compromise,
the company surrendered to the com
missioners, one hundred thousand dol
lars of the two hundred thousand vot
ed in aid of the construction of said
road, together with all coupons attach
ed to the bonds so surrendered, and al
so twenty thousand dollars of coupons
attached to the bonds retained by the
company. One condition of the com
promise on the part or the company,
was, that the commissioners surrender
to the comany for cancellation a cer
tain bond in the penal sum of $300,000,
given to the county at the time of the
issuance of said bonds, as evidence of
the good faith of the company, and as
security to the county for the location,
building, and maintaining machine
shops, sido tracks, turn-tables, depots,
business offices, &c. A further condi
tion of the so called compromise on the
part of the company, was, that the
stipulations agreed upon, should be
come a part of the records of the DL
trict Court, and operate as a decree
against all parties and persons, thus
prohibiting any person from entering
suit to recover from the company on
any matters touching the differences so
compromised.
The committee have made a careful
examination of the records, as far as
circumstances would permit, and find
that in this particular case, Attorneys'
fees, to the amount of $7,500, have
been paid by the commissioner to E.
Wakely and S. AI. Chapman, the latter
actintr at the time as attorney for the
county.
The committee are of the opinion
that the compromise, consummated un-
under the foregoing conditions, was
impolitic, injudicious, and detrimental
to the best interests of the taxpayers
of the county. By this compromise,
the R. R. company became released
from any liability oh the bond for
$300,000, thus leaving the said compa
ny obligated to perform nothing, while
the citizens of the county by a decree
of the District Court were obligated to
assume the payment of $100,000, with
$10,000 of accrued interest as well as
interest annually thereafter, and that
obligation so irrevocably fixed, that no
person can get relief, without hrst in
validating a decree of Court.
The committee would state that they
are unable to make any further report
at the present time, not having had
sufficient time to examine the official
records, but will report to the people
as tho necessary examinations are
made.
