TIIIKSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 1353.
Settlers 3Ieetlngs Land Sales-
The settlers' meeting called for last Sa
turday, at this city, was poorly attended,
because notice had not been given but
two days, and consequemly.lul very few
knew of the meeting. The meeting ad
journed to meet in this place on Saturday
-next, when we hope to see a full attend
ance. , -
We have teen atcuscd, y some, of
ciyieavoiicg to excite the settlers, in our
position upon the land question. Nothing
could be farther from the truth, and we
are at a loss to know how such a construc-
"YiorTeau be put upon anything we have
ever said or written upon the subject.
"AYe 'have always advised a compliance
with law; conservatism and mildness un
- tier every circumstance. Ve have advi
sed publicly and privately, and do so yet;
' that settlers unable to enter their lauds
before the tales, form themselves say into
precinct associations, select one u:an 01
iheir number to whom all report their
names and descriptions of their lands;
lhat this man attend the sales, and when
cny tract of land cf which he Ins jlie
description and name of occupant is offer
ed, that he announce, or request the auc
tioneer to do so, that it is occupied by an
actual settler who is unable to pay for it,
and asks that it may be returned as offer
ed lands, that he or they may file on it
nain under the provisions of the law go
verning offered lands, and thus have the
- benefit of one year further time in which
to pay for it. This we believe to be in
strict accordance with the law relative to
public lands, and we know it is nothing
more than justice.
This ground is deputed by some; and
if we are correctly informed there is a
division of opinion between the officers
of this Land Office on that point. The
position assumed by the opponents of
such a course is that when a man once
files upon a tract of land it is unlawful
for him to file a second time. The lan
guage of the law is : "It shall not be law
ful for the same indhiduul, at any future
time, to file a second declaration for
another tra:t.:' Not preventing him, in
our opinion, from filing a second decla
ration upon the saine tract. We will
quote Sec. 1 of the Act of March 3,
1S43, "to authorize the investigation of
alleged frauds under the pre-emption
laws, and for other purposes'
Src. 4. And leit further enahd. That
where an individual has filed, under the
late pre-emption law, his declaration oi
intention to claim the benefits r.f said
law for one tract of land, it shall not be
lawful for the same individual at any
future time to file a second declaration
lor another tract.
As further evidence ef the correct
ness of our poMtk-n, we refer to the
latter clause of Sec. 9 of the same act,
which reads as follows:
"And said act shall not be so construed
as to preclude any person who may have
filed a notice of intention to claim any
tract of land by pre-emption, under sa!d
act, from the rights allowed ly law to
others to purchase tne Mime ly privatt
entry alter tne expiration 01 me mm
of pre-emption. -
It was evidently u.. intention of the
law to rive to every man coming within
... .t - r.T-'l.
its provisions the 1 z-xi. fit ef securing IGOj
acres of land at SI. 2-3 per acre, and
whatever may have K-e.i the cause pre
venting the Con-i:mm;ttio!i of that right
once commenced, docs not, or at least
should not preclude the same individual
from securing such b-.nefits r.t any future
t;iae, and more especially upon the same
tract of la iid.
He .Misrepresents.
The'-'Jouria1 of the thh contains a
long article under th head "Election in
Nebraska,"' in which the editor indulges
in manifestations of ill-humor consequent
of defeat at the last ekcti- n in this coun
ty, truly unbecoming. W'c have no dis
position to controvert with him or any one
else who will so grossly misrepresent.
W'c have not the flight? objection to his
writing "big yarns" iu- favor of his own
place, and telling thcu to the "birds in
the .VJJf' or the '-marines;" he gets
jirtid forsvclt. We dj-n't behove, however,
lhat he is employed by any one or re
ceives pay from any source for downright
lying against Brownvilie cr cny other
place. Allow us, Mr. B Idem to put in a
word just here for the special benefit 0
yourself and a few and we are glad to

would like to see you continue to pros
per. You are not in our way in the least,
and however rapid you may advance, it
will not result in retarding us in the least
possible degree; But to the point.
The Editor says: "So Nemaha City
will not be represented in the next Leg
islature, unless she can rely more than
heretofore upon those interested in other
towns."
Are the Editor's notions cf the duties
or obligations of a Legislator so narrow
and contracted that he thinks they ought
only to act for the immediate locality in
which they may happen to be sutiated ?
Is he judging others by himself? If so,
God save us from such representatives.
Does not this same editor know that
last winter, in the Council, we gave more
attention to matters in which Nemaha
City was interested, than to any or all
other portions of the County ? Not that
we were partial, but there happened to
be more asked for there, at that time,
than anywhere else. Away with such
flimsy excuses for whining.
Again this posted editor, as to the af
fairs of his own county says :
"In ISo? lkownville had 234 votes ;
In 1S3S " " 21-5 "
Increase, 1 1
In 1S57 Nemaha Citv had 75 vutes;
la IboS " ' 121
Increase -16"'
That is certainly assurance or impu
dence beyond anything we ever heard of.
Does not the fellow know that our coun
ty commissioners have remoddled the pre
cincts in this county; made new ones;
took from, and added to others ? Or does
he think he is writing for the benefit of
the Otoes? To the facts. Since last
year eight sections have been taken from
the Brownvilie precinct and added to
Nemaha City precinct and two entire
new precincts formed from territory then
in the Brownvilie precinct, iz: Long's
and St. Frederick. Last year, then,
Brownvilie precinct polled 231 votes;
this year the same territory polled 367, a
gain of 133, or a gain of 3o, after giving
to Nemaha City S sections and cutting off
two new precincts. Nut so bad, after
all when you get at the fads, Seymour.
Election iu Nebraska.
We have not succeeded in getting in
full returns from all the counties as yet.
Richardson and Bawnee we gave last
week. The popular vote for Councilman,
says the Rulo Guide, was Dundy 2o2,
McDonald 192. There was some infor
mality in returns of St. Stephen precinct
which caused the vote not to be counted
by the canvassers, and the certificate was
given McDonald. The seat will be con
tested. The Johnson County votp, not heard
from when we went to press last week,
has since been received, but does not
change the general result as to members
of the Legislature from Nemaha and
Johnson Counties. The vote will be seen
in another column.

from what we gave it last week. It is

Last year the vote in Nemaha and
Richardson counties was more exciting
and important being for delegate to
Congress and consequently more full
than this year. In Otoe and Douglas the
vote was pretty full both last year and
this, as this year in those two counties
party lines were drawn and the contest
warm. W'c are confident we have 800
voters in Nemaha county ; we can count
in this precinct alone, 25 who were ab
sent, sick, or did not vote at all.
This comparison shows an important
fact, viz : that south of the Platte all the
counties, notwithstanding the pressure of
the times, which has prevented emigra
tion to a great extent, has advanced stead
ily and healthfully, while north of the
Platte there is a decrease in each county
noticed.

Good Joke.
"Nebraska City polled eight hundred
and sixty-five votes." J'ews of the 7th.
The entire vote of Cnoe County as pub
lished in the News of the same date was
1038. If Nebraska City polled S60 of
those it only leaves 174 votes to be dis
tributed over the balance of the county,
which embraces territory nearly or quite
equal to Nemaha and Johnson counties
both, and in which are also several flour
ishing villages Wyoming, Otoe City and
others. Reynolds has perpetrated "a good
joke" on Otoe City, Wyoming, Hamilton,
Erie, Delaware, Douglas, Saltville, Ches
ter, and the farming portion of Otoe Coun
ty. "Look before you leap," Milton.
Daring Kobbery.
We learn by several gentlemen who
came up from Archer on Tuesday last,
that a most daring robbery was commit
ted on the road from this city to Archer,
on Monday last. The name of the per
son robbed we were unable to learn; but
were informed that he was on his way
from Otoe City, Otoe County, to Topeka
Kansas, and when within a few miles of
Archer, was overtaken, just after noon
by three ruffians, who seized and beat
him in a terrible manner and robbed him
of 6S16in money, a gold waich, and a
revolver.
The gentleman robbed thinks he saw
one of the men in Otoe before he left.
The scamps undoubtedly knew he had
money in his possession, and followed him.
It is to be hoped the scoundrels may be
arrested and summarily dealt with, as
we have no prisons in which to confine
sucii,
There are a lot cf thieves and mur
derers in this portion of the Territory,
prowling around who will find a rope's end
yet. They are undoubtedly some of
those who have infested Kansas for two
or three years past.
Territorial Auditor.
Our friend Robert C. Johdax is
without doubt, elected Terrritorial Audi
tor. Every count-, the vote of which
we have seen, gave hira a vote of not
less than two to one. In Douglass, his
own county, he rcceired 974 and his op
ponent 23 votes.
Kansas Election-
As our readers are doublles aware,,
the people of Kansas on the same day of
our elections, voted on the proposition to
reject cr accept the Ccnstition as provi
ded for in the -'English Bill." As was
very naturally supposed, the vote so far
as we have heard, was largely in opposi
tion to its reception. In the counties of
Leavenworth, Atchison, Doniphan, Jef
ferson, Douglass, Shawne, Johnson, Ri
ley and Franklin, the vote stood, accept
ed, 1319; rejected, 6072; majority for re
jection o323.
Atlantic Telegraph Cable Laid,
The Atlantic Telegraph Cable has fi
nally been laid, says crnr latest advices,
it is 1C9G nautical, and 1950 statute miles
in length, reaching from the Telegraph
House, at the head of Valencia Harbor, to
the Telegraph House, Bay cf Bulls,
Trinity Bay, and for more than two thirds
of this distance, the water is over two
miles in depth.
Blair Defeated,
From our latest St. Louis papers, we
learn that Barrett is elected over Blair
j for Congress, in the St. Louis district by
! abou38) majority.
Protection against Horse Thicies
A meeting of the citizens of this coun
ty was held in this City on Saturday last,
and an organization entered into by
adopting the following rules and regula
tions and electing the following officers.
We have not room for the entire proceed
ings of the meeting:
Rules, regulations and by-laws for the gov
ernment of the .Yemaha County Associ
ation for the protection of j)roj;erty
aga inst h orse th ie vcs.
Whereas, the numerous depredations com
mitted upon the property of our citizens
by what is believed to be a banded or
ganization of horse thieves, which now
infest our country, call for a combined and
organized vigilance upon the part of our
people for the protection of our proper
ty, we, the undersigned, do hereby as
sociate ourselves into a company to be
known and styled the "Nemaha County
Association for the protection of property
against horse thieves." And we do here
by establish the following rules and reg
ulations for the government of said Asso
ciation, and agree to be bound thereby :
1st. Said Society shall consist of the
following officers, tq-wit : A President,
Vice President, Secretary and Treasur

dent to preside at all meetings of the as
sociation, to sign all orders drawn upon

ful account of whatever funds of the As
sociation may have come into his hands.
6th. The above named officers shall
each be elected by a majority vote of the
members of the Association ; shall be
sworn to faithfully perform their duties
by some officer authorized under the laws
of the Territory to administer oaths, and
shall hold their offices for the term of six
months from the time of their election,
and until their successors shall be qual

3Iissions to France and England.
"Ion" of the Baltimore Sun, whose sa
gacity and knowledge are proverbial,
says:
"General Dix's name has been men
tioned for France, but that mission is to
go to Louisiana, without doubt. It fol
lows that the London mission must go to
New York. Letters frcrn influential men
in that State present urgent reasons for
the appointment of Judge Roosevelt. He
is fitted for the post by reason of his
large fortune, conciliatory deportment,
and excellent good sense. The intimate
and important commercial relations be
tween New York and England would
seem to require that the minister of the
L nited States should be selected from
New York, if no political obstacles be
interposed to prevent it. In this case,
political reasons stronely favor the selec
tion." Mr. Isaac Tyson, late editor of the
Gleenwood Union, aged 22 years, died at
Glenwocd on the 17th inst.

The. Washington Union says: We
learn that the War Department has pro
vided reinforcements for Colonel Step
toe. In addition to the troops which
were to be sent, the Department has
purchased a la"ge .number of Sharp's best
rifles, and abundant supply of ammuni
tion. It is thought that if the force un
der the command of Col. Steptoe had
been equipped with this formidable wea
pon, the result of the fight would have
been totally different.
A lady, not long since, commenced suit
in the Common Pleas Court at Ravena,
Ohio, for 85,000 damages for a breach
of marriage contract. The defendant
answered that he had agreed to marry;
that he had never refused, and was willing
to fulfill the contract. He got a license
and Justice of the Peace ; he went to the
girl's residence and tendered himself.
The lady wanted time to think the mat
ter over, and finally concluded to dismiss
the case and pay all the coats.
The Parjs correspondent of the Liver
pool Journal gives the following particu
lars of the late attempt to assassinate the
Emperor Napoleon at Fontainbleau :
"The Emperor was riding slowly on
horseback a little in advance of the rest
of the party by whom he was accompa
nied. Suddenly his horse reared and
sbied at some unseen danger, and the Em
peror, who is a first rate horseman, in
stantly aware, as if by presentiment, of
coming evil, threw him himself to one side
just as a perfect volley was fired over
him ! The assassins were ten in num
ber, all Italians ; four have been taken,
while the remainder up to the present
time have escaped.
A man was discovered sitting on the
track of the Orange and Alexandria rail
road the other day, as if taking a nap.
All efforts were made to stop the train,
but all in vain; and when the engine
struck him, it lifted him eight or ten feet
in the air, and he fell flat on his back in
the ditch, apparently lifeless. He was
taken into the cars, and the train started
back to procure medical aid "; but he soon
commenced talking, remarking that they
were carrying him the wrong way. He
soon after raised up his head, and said
he was not hurt. He then rose to his
feet, remarking at the same time, 'Stran
ger, you gave me a thundering jolt ! halo!
let me get off!' The train was stopped,
and he ran off as though nothing had
happened.
Five hundred and twelve women re
cently landed at San Francisco avowedly
for the purpose of prostitution. Their man
ner of life is said to be almost without
shame or the restraints of common de
cency. Statistical tables recently published
show that the revenue raised on tolacco
in France amounts to about 20,000,000,
and in England to about 823,000,000, or
a total for both countries of about 843,
000,000 a year.
Two hundred and fifty-four British
troops left Montreal for Liverpool last
w.ek. This was the last detachment of
the ISth regiment recently ordered into
the Indian service.
A MissDrave has been presented with
a free pass of indefinite duration over a
railroad in Pennsylvania. Beimjathome
alone, she saw that a tree had fallen on
a curve in the road on the opposite side
of the river, and-that the cars, without a
warning, would evidently be thrown into
the river. She crossed in a skiff, and
as the train approached, succeeded in stop
ping it, thus saving, in the opinion of those
on board, all the lives on the train. In
structions have been given, whenever she
travels on the train, to stop for her at
such point as she finds most convenient
for her home.
The Wine'of C.EironxiA Califor
nia, like Missouri, will soon rival Ohio in
the product of native wine. There is a
firm in San Francisco which produced
last year two hundred thousand bottles of
ehampagn from their own vinyard in Los
Angelos. This is but one of many in
stances of California enterprise in wine
growing. Almost every state in the
Union adds quota small in many cases, '
nut always increasing to the annual
produbt.

Attached to one of these labels was found
a beautiful poetical tribute to Florence

An officer of the army, writing from
Washington Territory relative to Colonel
Steptoe's defeat, says that the route east
ward and northward of Colville, is now
virtually blockaded, and that no one can
cross Snake river, and that it will re
quire a force ten times as large as that

Sons of Malt. The Sons cf Mal
ta held a Grand National Convention in
Philadelphia on the 19th of July last.
Delegates were in attendance from all
the principal cities in the Union, and the
Convention set two days. It was resolved
that this select "body be hailed as the
Supreme Grand Council of the Sons of
Malta, of the United States, Cula and
Mexico, and to act in concert with the
Supreme Grand Lodge of Euror.
A fire broke out in the hold of a Brit
ish ship cn the 24th of January, in the
Atlantic Ocean. The hatches being re
moved the fire was suppressed after a
good deal of labor. It was found to
have originated by the spontaneous com
bustion of oil skins or water-proof Mack
intoshes packed in cases.
A Mine of Paint.
Hugdr White, of Liberty, Bedford co.,
Virginia, has discovered upon his estate a
paint bank. It is one of the most exten
sive bodies of decomposed ochrous iron
ores in the world. This paint is easily
pulverized,, contains no "foreign impuri
ties, and is entirely pure from day. It
has all the properties of umber. In col
or it varies from a light yellow to a dark
brown. The small or loose umber, is
the lightest when taken from the bank.
Simply mixed with oil, it will make a
hard, smooth face, durable as a fire-proof
paint for railroad cars, bridges, buildings,
&c. The deposit is near the Virginia

''Occasional" writes from Wahiriiton
to the Phi'adelphia "Press" cf Wednes
day the following :
It is stated that the present consul to
Liverpool, Mr. R. Tucker, of Virginia,
has written to his friends here that he
cannot liv on the salary of his oflice,
and pay all necsssary expenses. This was
predicted when he left.
Gov. Wise wi'l pay a visit to Pennsyl
vania in a week or two. The people will
welcome him.
The Cabinet and a number of official
and semi-otlicial guests started this mor
ning, on board the steam revenue cutter
"Harriet Lane," intending to go as far
as Norfolk, Virginia. A gay company
they were, and they doubtless enjoyed
themselves hugely.
General Jetferson Davis spoke in re
sponse to a popular call at Portland, Me.,
a few days ago with immense ability. A
gentleman present says that exeat en
thusiasm was occasioned by his Union
sentiment-!. The gallant soldier is ac
companied by his wife and children. He
is traveling for his health.
Death of Gen. Quitman.
Speaking of the death of General
Quitman, the National Intelligencer says:
Gen. Quitman was about sixty years
of age, and a native of New York. He
migrated at an early age to Mississippi,
where he became a planter, and in polit
ical life one of the moi-t distinguished
men of the State. Iu lSI0-"7 he vol
unteered for the Mexican war und was
appointed ly President Polk a Maior
General. In this rapacity he was prom
inetly engaged in most or all of the san
guinary action which immediately pre
ceded the capture of the Mexican capi
tal, of which on its surrender he was
made Governor. He was sent to Con
gress in 1S5-3, ai.d re-elected in lS)7.
Though a devoted follower of Mr. Cal
houn during the lifetime of that dtm
guisht d statesman, and in Congress re
gardtd as belomriiiLr to the ultra division
of Southern political feeling, his person
al characteristics won for him from all
parties an estimation hardly equalled, cer
tainly not surpassed, by that of any
niemler ef the House.
A man's standing in the House of
Representatives anioncr his 1 rather mem
bers, is one of the severest, as it is one
of the surest tests of character, and the
standing and influence of Gen. Quitman
with all parties in that I oily was the high
est proof of his personal merit.
