The executiou of Mrs. Meakio it an other crime added to the long list of the blornly monntvr. called the gallotra; a crime that will long blacken the fair fame of enlightened Vermont. It i terrible to contemplate the presence of this horrid monster in the after part of the nineteenth century. It is difficult to understand why in this enlightened day and age this monstrosity of the avenging law is tolerated. In the pres eoc of this outrage, perpetrated in the same of justice, one would hare to be made of harder clay than the ordinary mortal, not to shudder at the thought of a woman executed upon such testimony dying protesting her innocence with the words upon her lips, "May God for give you all." Doww with the gallows Tiik brutal attack mode by the, Journal upon General Geo. S. Smith will simply give to that gentleman democratic votes he otherwise would ' not get; we know whereof we speak when we pay this: General Smith has ived in l'lattsrnouth city for long je.irs. lie came here some fourteen years ago with his little family, and cast his lot among our good people, in vesting some thousands of dollars in our city which through hard times and ou account of the depreciation in real estate during our dark days, al most disappeared by the shrinkage of values; in other words, was almost en tirely lost. In adversity as well as prosperity, Gen'l Smith has lived among you, people of l'lattsmoulh, an honest, open hearted, genial gentleman, against whom no man can honestly say aught. He has paid his debts, pat ronized the tradesmen of his city, and lived the life of a kind, generous pub lic spirited man and citizen. The nom ination of mayor of this city has come to him unsolicited upon his part, and against his wish. He lias been the choice of his party and friends, who insist tnat he is needed at this junc ture in our city affairs, and he isgiing to he the next mayor of Plat! s month city. The men who have been making this attack upon Gen'l Smith, are, many of them, comparative strangers in our midst who do not own one foot of property in your city, who have not one dollar's interest in I'latts mouth, and who have no prospects ahead of them except that of relying upon your charity to pick up a precar ious living. It is far easier, citizens of 1'lattsmouth, to retail the scurrilous slanders picked up upon the curb stones of your public streets, than to labor honestly in advertising and ad vancing the good name and fame of your city and her good citizens, and righ here the IIekali brands the in sinuations made against the good name of General Smith as foul slanders and falsehoods which should merit the se verest condemnation from all goi;d citizens. AULOIl DAY PROCLAMATION. EXECUTIVK OFFICE. Lincoln, Neb., March 30, 1SS:J. To the ptople of Nebraska : The subject of forestry, or tree-plant ing, is last becoming one ot national mi portance, and is receiving the careful at tention of t houghtful minds throughout cur own country, and in other lands as well. The steady and rapid disappearance of our lore9ts is viewed with up prehen sion. We are forced to consider the matter of future demand and supply,and in view of the facts it becomes u tines tion of grave moment. Tlio disappear ance of the natural growth of timber has been followed in many of ur states by the drying up of spring! and brooks, a decreased annual raiu fall and conse-fiu-ut increased frequency of .seasons of extreme drouth. The presence of trees and forests exerts a direct and control ling influence upon the moisture of the sir, and amount of rain fall, as well as serving to lessen the extremes of tem perature, and greatly modifying tli e fee verity of climate aud season. The attention of the general govern ment has been directed to this matter, and it has received substantial rccogni tion at the hands of our national con gress in the passage of what is known as the "Timber Culture Act," which has for its object, the securing of timber up on our treeless prairies. Encouragement and incentive, ia the matter of tree planting is given by the con stitution of Nebraska; which says, "The legislature may proyidc that the increas ed value of lands,by reason of live fences fruit and forest trees grown and cultiv ated thereon, shall not be taken into ac count in the assessment thereof." The State Board of Agriculture oilers liberal premiums for the greatest num ber of trees planted duriuir the month of April, 188J, by any one person, and for the greatest number planted, or nut oui, uuring me year in addition to this, they offer a special premium Known as "Arbor Uav 7 iremium-for the greatest number of trees planted upon a given day. divided and classi fied as to rarities, and earnestly invit- u.g competition tl.ereto, lrom all. The question of Tree Culture im portant as it is to the country at hirge is of paramount importance to our state. Nebraska embraces within her lim its lauds that are unsurpassed in fer tility ; and offering a they do, advan tages in the way of easy and simple cultivation, they are being developed with a rapidity that is neatly, if not quite without precedent. Therefore, to the end that the as gratifying degree of development, and improvement, may be maintained, and ii possible increaod, 1, James V Dawes, Governor of the .State of Xe braska, hereby name Wednesday, thu 18th day of April, A. 1). to be observed as "A I tli OK DAY.

EDWAKD P. ItOGGEN, seal. Secretary of State. Tick supreme court of Illinois has placed ilfclf right upon the the ques tion of the liability of the Pullman Palace Car company as a common carrier. On March 30th, the court with full bench n-.en(irir, decided that this Palace Car company was a common carrier, upon the same foot ing as a i ail road company. The case aresc by one Luke Lever bringing a suit against the company for dama ge ou account of the company ro- fusing to permit him to occupy a sleeping berth upon tender ot the usual and customary price. This company arrogated t itself the right under its rules aud regulations to carry a passenger if it saw lit. The court holds that bv the Pullman Pal ace Car company holding itself out as a carrier, furnishing accomodations of that nature to the traveling public for hire, the business Iias become a social nccesssity, placing the company under the same obligations to furnish accommodations, as railways, ferry men and innkeepers, upon payment of regular fares. This settles another qiic.-tioii of right, so far as Illinois is concerned, betvrcen corporations aud the individual, and is a just and righteous interpretation of the law. Wu are informed that the suits the Journal it its libelous paragraph upon Gen. Ceo. 8. Smith on Saturday hints at, are the suits against W. L. Ilobbs by Cas county. There is no use in any citizen of this city having any ex cuse to believe this slander about (Jen. Smith for one moment. The record :s in Mr. Sho waiters oftice; he is an ac omn:o laliwg gentleman, and can show you both judgments against the county for costs. (Jen. Smith wa.s not the leading counsel in those cases, but Hon. George W. Corell, of Nebraska City, was, aid the cases were under his con trol. Under decisions of the supreme court of this state those cases could not be maintained, and were so de cided by Judge Pound. Ouit old friend, Mr. V. V. Leonard is nominated by the democracy of this city for mayor. We have told I?ro. Leonard time aud again to get out of that crowd, or they would play some trick upon him that would make him regret he ever was democrat, and here he has found verified, our pre dictions. Sam Wellor's father said to Sammy, bevaro ot the vidder, Sam my;" to Iro. Leonard we say, be ware of the democratic "vvidder;" she will lead you astray, and then whcii you refuse to be a pliant sup pliant tool, to carry out her sohenies, "will turn and rend you." We wish V. V. Leonard lots of good things in the world, and among these, and the chielcst ot thein is. that he get left on this mayor business. Bank Cass County Corner Main ami Sixtli Street!.
