THE Virginia readjuators who have organized -

the final mid have received n black eye
in the decision of Judge Bond , of the
United States circuit court , whicht effect.
unlly disposes of the recent readjuster
legislation in regard to the coupons for
the state bonds. The legislature of Vir
ginia had passed a law declaring these
i conpoua , when presented to the tax col.
doctors , legal tenders for all debts duo the
state. But the readjuster legislature
subsequently passed an obstructive er-
actmomt , by virtue of which collectors
ware not required to receive the coupons
until certain legal formalities to test
their genuineness were complied with.
After refusing the coupons the official s
i could levy upon the ProPorsY of the hold
ers for taxes duo the state. The supren °
court decided that it could not interfere
with the manner in which the state pays
its debts.
Judge Bond , in interpreting this do.
ciaion , holds that a tender of coupons fo r
taxes is a Irgal tender , just as any other
legal tender , for debts , That point
established , it follows that the tax colloc-
t' m ' tors must accept the coupons for deb
duo the state of Virginia without hag
glino. Yf the officials of Virginia levy

TIIA' STATE FAIR .
The Nebraska state fair opened yestor'
day under more fayorablo auspices than
any of its predecessors. The line of'ex
hibih In the various departments Is
larger , the facilities for their exhibition
greater , and the various details of the
management have been arranged on a
more satisfactory basis than ever before.
Those who attend , and their number will
be thousands , will have an opportunity
of seeing and learning in person the
capacity of our state as an agricultural
territory , the wealth of its soil , and the
variety of its productions. The displays
from the harvest fields and orchards ,
from the garden and the dairy , from the
stock yards and the apiary , give the lie
to the chronic croakers who periodically
vent their views on the superior advantages -
tages in the agricultural line possessed
by other states and the uncertainty of
Nebraska harvests. While other states
nro complaining of a deficiency in small
grain , of injury to the corn crop
and the scanty yield of their
orchards , Iebraska boasts of the
largest harvest std the prospect of the
most bountiful corn crop in her history.
Our farmers are well satisfied and a all

of our farmers our people generally have
no reason for complaint.

predecessors have proved that the nie

merchants have contributed in times
past largely towards the forwarding of
the enterprise and the line grounds and
buildings and the exhibits of local industries -
tries are largely the results of
their efforts. This year the city
welcomes the visitors to the state fair
with some pride. Since last year Omaha
has made rapid strides towards assuming
time position of a well built and haidsomo
metropolis worthy of state whoso trade
she commands. Public improvementa
have been begun and prosecuted with
a vigor which both shows results in the
present and bespeaks still greater ones in
the immediate future. To the crowd of
citizens from the statoamd elsewhere who
will visit us during the week the city
offers ample and ozcellont hotel accommodations -

will be no grounds for complaint on this

silo is holdmm r her own firmly mid shows
no signs of decline. Time o of time
Pierre route to Deadwood was aserious
aid almost fatal blow to the business of
freighting to the hills , frmn whiclt the
town has slowly rallied ; but tlmo cattle in.
terests to time north aid west have increased -
creased rapidly mumd time local trade is
being maintained with much nioro firm ,
11 ° 85 than might have boon expected.
.hest now Sidney is feeling happy over
the certainty of a revival of the Black
hills freighting business. This is time cc-
suit of dissatisfaction eu the part of
Deadwood merchanta with the conduct of
time freighters fromn Ft. Pierre and time
Northwestern road. Within time past few
weeks , a largo number of time leading
merchants of Inalmid City mid Deadwood
have signed an agreement to have their
brought U way of the Union PAcific -
conditional u on securing favorable -
able rates which have been assured them
by the railroad company and time freight-
era. At present the largest portion of
time freight outward bound from Sidniey
conies to this point , Fort Robinson , G.
H. Jewett being the contractor , but a
considerable amount of local freighting is
douo to points between the railroad and
Running Water , for the supply of time
ranchos. So these who have been calcu
hating on the furtimer decline of Sidney
trust revise their estimates.
Fort Sidney is now time headquarters
of time Fourteenthm infantry , recently cc-
moved to this department from White
river. The Fifth cavalry , which was its
predecessor in time garrison , hmas taken its
head uarters at McKinne one of its
companies , Capt. PaYno'sr coming to this
post , wlmero it is now in camp waiting

Fifth was always a favorite with time Sidney -
ney people , as it is throunut ] the department -
partment , Fort Sidney is one of the
posts recommended to be retained as a
permanent garrison by Generals Slier-
man and Sheridan , and if a generous
congress does its duty we may look within -
in the next few ears for time construction -
tion of neat and durable officers' and aol-
diem' quarters.
It was nearly J o'clock when the Dead.
wood stage of time Wyoming stage con-
pany drew up in front of the atatiom to
receive its cargo. Sixteen hundred
poundh of : rut was loaded behind and
strapped on top and by time time the pas-
son gars imad boon packed inside and
stowed on the boothere was so little
space to spare that several hundred
pounds of express matter and some bag-
gage was necessarily left behind for lack
of room. Time corn any is doing a
tine business amd too coaches and
stock of time line are of time
host. Sixtoom coaches , 160 horses and
90 employoa form time equipment of the
line , which , under the superintendence
of Mr. Thos , W. Furlong , is ono of time
best conducted in the west , lauding its
mass ° ngers in Deadwood 50 hours from
Sidno and JO hours from Chicago or
several hours shorter than time Piero

time line bemt an increased pasonor and

and sleepy and roll frmn rote mid of time
stage to time otiwr to t'he great discomfort
of the passengers. Time snoring uman begins -
gins tq got in his work , amid his misal
nmonotone rises above time creaking of the
laboring conveyameo and time cry of the
driver , We are row fotlrtcrn malice
from Red Willow aid at hour late. Time
stun is just beginning to sot over a line of
buttes to our right aid the scone is one
hover to be forgottone though hardly to
be fully appreciated urmder time present
discomforts. All are thoroughly tired and
cross and lingry as we plunge across a
little streami aid time horacs striking a
brisk trot roll up to time little stage sta.
tion of Red Willow where a stop of
twenty minutes is made for supper ,
here I left time passengers mid spent
time night. I wish I could speak a good
word for time faro and beds of Red Willow -
low , but I fommd too hmuchm con1many oc-
cup in my room before me and enjoyed
au overcoat and a cigar out of doors fron
ntidni6hmt until 4 o clock , when daylight
to break. The rest of my journey
was pleasantly made behind the a
team of Major J. W , Paddock whicim
was sent to time Willow for my conveyance -
ance and with which we covered time sixty -
ty miles between that point and Fort
Robinson in thirteen hours with a two
hours' rest at Half Way Hollow , From
Snake Creek to the Humming Water ,
which further east becomes the Niobrara.
the country is true prairie land gently
undulatimmg and covered with ,
luxuriant growth of ass. Time
valley of time RunflinB Water its well taken
up with cattle ranches , and considerable
fencing in list been done along the line
of the strewn , There are no such immense -
mense herds as we find in Wyoming , but
the tendency is to improve time stock , and
many of the ranchmen are cutting largo
quantities of hay for winter
consumption. Further north and
west , along Hat creek , at Buffalo -
falo Gap and Buckhorn , time
time cattle interests are larger and several
wealthy English corporations are conducting -
ing time business on a heavier scale. Time
extension of the Sioux City & Pacificroad
to this section of time country is one of
the certainties of time near future , when
shipments car be made without the long
drive which is now necessary. Valentino
tire present terminus of the road , is
only 160 miles distant in a direct line ,
mid time prcliuminary surveys have boon
already run through to time Powder river
in Wyoming. With time building of time
railroad to this section of time state time
the Black Hills trade would once more
pass almost entirely through Nebraska , as
the line would be fully fifty tiles shorter
than time present route by way of Fort
Pierre.
Leaving' Running Water we catch our
first view of time long broken crests of
buttes , mvhiclm enclose Iobinson in asemi-
circle of pine-crowned turretta. Time
ride from about six miles from the river
into the valley of the Wlmito Clay , in
which the past is beautifully located , ms a
picturesque and interesting one. From
above Breakneck Hill , a few miles south
of White Clay stage station , a turn of time
road brings us to a vista of scenery which
of its class is unsurpassed in the west.
Around amid about usrise tlmebuttes , with
their rounded tops brokemi at intervals by
Lower-hike promontories from wlmichm
run to their bases , nminaturo canyons ,
carpeted with grass and lined with lofty
pihos. Far to the right Crow Buttes ,
looking like the broken nrchitectual pile
of aumedievalcastlowith turretamd tower ,
aid chapel , and flying buttresses of
sandatone , perched upon a rocky
premonitory of some Ithitmolaurl umovnt
air , send tlmeir Loads above their fellows.
Crow Buttes is almistoriclandnmark of this
region and lies a little nmore thane eight
miles from time party. Leaving White
Clay Station we pass through time valley
of time White river , whore Fort Robinson
inn its center lies before us.
