To ihir prelected road we called the mention of our readers seme weeks "tlace, c.rvbih lime it was our impress ijoa 'thal no dtficite .steps had been had ,.lowaru3 an organization to xurtner ine ren'-erpris, VYe are, however, pleased to' acknowledge the correction' cf' our 1 error bj the Canton Pnss, published at ' Canton,, Lewis county, Mo., the initial . point on the .Mississippi River for the i ahove narked road. - "- From K Circular, w?eh ejrjenrs iu tbe Tres?, from Davis, President cf the 'JiwJ, It appears that 'work on this road as comraenced in 18G0. at Canton, and 'twenty-five miles weregraded ready for , the ties, and the ircn laic! cn- the first : uueeo roues. , ae&iasi in is tcey naa on hand, when the war brefce out, rails tuf. "ficient to lay the graded portion ttd as " much more engaged as would complete the read to Memphis, Mo., a ditt&cce of forty-eight miles. The war, cf course, stopped this work, ; bs it did many mere which were in a still "more forward state; yet, cow that peace . u again strengthening the land, none are . more in earnest in completing their line than this company. Mr. Davis's object now is to interest eastern capitalists in .this road, and with this intention he had an interview with Mr. Cciburn, of N. Y., -who, he eays, 'readily suggested that if t we would grade, tie and bridge the road, , his company would iron it, we to hold our Wfirlf ns zinrlr in i!ia mnd Tn tViIe Mr. Davis, objected, mainly because his company were cot able to make such an . advance at present. Mr. Davis says: . j ."My proposition is, that, we will raise : 1,000,000 from Cantcn to the Missouri give u? a railroad, ana wcrif it tnrougu to the Missouri River. Mr. Colburn en tertains this proposition favorably ; bat before we can close the matter, a survey must be made, and an estimate made cf the cost.' The Circular of Mr. Davis is issued for" the purpose of urging the counties through which the road will pass to make the necesrary appropriations for the sur rey, which it is proposed to beg-in about the 10th of April. From a correspondence to the Quincy; Herald the pof-'iatict of the counties interested in this road, between the two rivers, is 124,000, with lead, coal, iron and Conner alonrr thfl rnutA of ihn r-rr1. . i a . 4 X O - - Should this road road cross at this nnlrtt imd rnnnort iviih ih IT P T? Tt at Ft. Kearney, it would be the Air Line road of the West. Canton lies directly - East of the this, and Ft. Kearney just - twelre miles North of a line due West. ine roaa wen oi me xuissouri wouta ' .1 t v t pass lurougu ntuiaaa tuuuiy, wuu a pop ulation cf 5,500, Johnson, population of . 3,200, Clay, Saline and Fillmore, each .ixvitha population of about 1,000. As to the mineral wealth of the counties, but little is known save the fact that Coal . crops out in numerous places in this Land . District, and it is generally believed that it exists in sufficient quantities to pay. ' The Salt Springs in Saline county sufn- . ciently numerous and strong to turn out from 500 to 1,000 barrels cf sal: a day ; which in itself would be no small item to a Railroad. v It is impossible to conceive the im mense advantage of such an eastern con- ' section to this section of Nebraska, and we hope our citizens will arouse to a just ..appreciation of the enterprise, and wel- ' come it to cress here with liberal and generous assistance. It will be one hun dr4 tmlcs nearer to all the great Rail- . road centers East of Quincy such as Indianapolis, Cclumba, Baltimore, Wash- ' fngton, Philadelphia and New York than anvothcr route now under wav.and willun- doubtedly receive the "lion's share" of , the trade between the Pacific and Atlan tic so soon as the connection is made. ine test immediate investment that ".cculd and ihouli be made would ba-to raise funds to defray the expenses of a preliminary surrey esior tne Missouri, and invite the M. & M. River A. L. R. to exlenl their survey immediately to a connection with the U. P. R. IL Such a survey would cost not to exceed 83,000. The country west of this is already populated suiucicntly dens3 to make its ' way trade an object to a railroad, which, . in connection with the fact that a gene . reus grant ci lands can be obtained from Congress lands immediately available because of their fertility will make this road west a success if wo "ileep not at cur post." ; Cur Agricultural College - Senatcr Tipton, cn the 19ih, introduc ed a. bill extending to the State of Ne braska the becefit cf the act granting lands to the States for the establishment cf Agricultural Colleges. Referred to Cetataillco ca Public Lands. A Rise in ifce Trice of Public Lands Most cf the Public Land m the Otoe District has been raised to $2.50 per acre and Homesteads have been cut down to 80 acres. Entry with Agricultural College Scrip j3 prohibited. Nebraska Stands first in the February monthly report from the Department cf Agricul ture as to the crop of Oats, it being 7 per centrgreater than that of any other State, for the breadth sown. The Re port also shows that the crop of Wheat and Corn is larger and tetter than in any other State for the labor required to pro duce it. Such facts as these together with the restoration of 3,500.000 acres of land in this District to Homestead settlement, must give us a large immigration 'this Spring. Reply (o '-Homestead Claim aiils:'! Last week we received a commonica- tion from "Several Homestead Setilerr," in whic!i they '?sr.e to know what tirne a settler can have' in -h;chrtc f4ake and prepare a Homestead so that he call live on it. And have procure&the following answer from C. G. Darey, late Regis ter: . The proviion cf the Homestead Law relative to residence is as follows; 'Stc. 5. That if, at any time after filing of the affidavit, as required in the second section cf this act, and before the expriation of the five years aforesaid, it shall be proven; after due notice to the settler, to the sati?faction of the Regis ter cf the Land Office, that the person having Hied such affidavit shall actually have changed his or her residence, or, abandoned the said land for more than iix months ci any time, then and in that event the land so entered shall revert to the Government." Under this section it is held, that the Homestead Claimant is allowed six months in which to make his actual settlement and residence upon the Homestead, and that a failure to reside upon the Home stead for more than six months at any time shall work a forfeiture, ia case that fact shall be properly shown. : . The -Commissioner of the' General Land Office, however, exercises a diicre tion in all cases, and where it is made to appear to him that, by reason cf sickness, poverty, or other good cause the Home stead Claimant has failed to make his settlement within the prescribed six months, or has been compelled to remain away from the Homestead for more than six months, but that , he has done all in his power to comply in good faith with the provisions of the law, further time will be allowed him. The General Land Office has in all cases shown a disposi tion to allow great latitude in the con struction cf the Homestead Act in favor of the honest Homestead Claimant. Senator Thajer, On the rith, presented to the Senate the following Memorials passed at the lau Session cf the Territorial Legisla ture of Nebraska . Memorial in favor of constructing a Bridge across Platte river, and a military road to the southern boundary cf the State. Referred to Committee on Mili tary Affairs. Memorial in favor of additional boun ty to the troops from that Territory who served in the army during the rebellion. Referred to same Committee. Memorial in favor of the extinguish ment of the title of the Otoe and Mis souri Indians to certain land in that State. Referred to Committee on Indian Affairs.

Referred to Committee on Public Lands. Memorial for a daily mail route from America. Kansas, via Pawnee City. Te curaseh, and other points, to Columbus, Nebraska. Referred to same Committee. S. R. Jamison, A. Johnson's Receiver of the Land Office in this city, was rejected by the Senate on the 18th. We congratulate the Land District. If we are not mis taken he has not been confirmed by : the Senate for the past two years, but has been "smuggled" through by Andy. "Willi rapture we daHghted to eea The cuss remoTcl." - - The following from the White Cloud Chief is our sentiments better than we can express 'era:. , 'AjfOTiiEa Shyster Scooped. S. R. Jamison, Receiver of the Land OfTce at Brovvnviile, Nebraska, has been rejected by the Senate.

' Senator Tipton's First Speecli. ; The following remarks of Hon. T. W. Tipton were delivered in the U. S.' Sen ate on the Sth, during the consideration of a resolution giving thanks and a gold medal to George Peabody, of London and Boston, for liberal private charities. It is impossible to read Mr. Tipton's re marks and not agree with him ; and it affords U3 great pleasure to know that we have in him a representative endowed with moral courage to defend the lowly, beard aristocracy, and avow his sentiments fearless cf popularity or sarcasm. In the vote on the resolution Tipton and Grimes, alone, voted in the negative, while about fifteen Senators were absent. "Mr. TIPTON. It is not astonishing, Mr. President, that 1 should be solicitous in regard to the manner in which I should cast my first voe in this body. I ac knowledge that solicitude on this occa sion, and regret exceedingly that I feel impelled to say anything on this question at this time. Before I could vote for this resolution. I should desire to under stand most emphatically the position that was occupied by the donor, during the time of our recent struggle for national existence. I am inclined, however, be cause of the source whence this resolu tion comes, to infer that all was right in that behalf ; but I ask no enlightenment cn that point, because I am against the adoption of this resolution, not on account of any consultation with any member of this body, but from principle. If I need any justification for my course on this oc casion I desire it to be understood that, if I am the representative of anybody on the floor of this Senate, I am the repre sentative or an humble- constituency ; with such a constituency on the frontier I have been and thai! hereafter be iden tified ; and when I know positively that I have constituents of as pure intentions in behalf of education and science and art as the grantor of this charity can be, and when I remember that some of them have done all that men could do in a pri vate capacity, and' when I see this gen tleman making a munificent grant in a private capacity, I cannot consent to shower on him the thanks and the honors of the Senate when I am not able to vote ih'fem to the humblest of my constituency who have dene equally well, having done all they were able to do and he lias done no more. I hope now that on that sub ject I am understood, and will be under stood hereafter in ail my future action as a member of this body. So far as the munificence cf this grant as regards the amount is concerned, I concede it. Other wealthy men of our country have granted by thousands and tens cf thousands for educational pur poses ; and they have received the thanks of corporation and the thanks of States, and they will receive them again. If this grant had been for educational purposes in Nebraska I should not have come here for a national indorsement for the grant or, but should have secured that indorse ment fro-n the recipients of the charity from my own constituency in Nebraska. It is legitimate, it is proper, for the peo ple who are to be benefitted by this grant to show their gratitude by gold medals or in any other manner that they choose to express it. They have in Louisiana, as I discover, already indicated their gratitude by a resolution perhaps, of their legislative body. This is but a pri vate T?nl munificent as it may be ; and whenraillious were at the dispo ?f the donor it was easier for him to contribute millions than for many men to contribute a hundred or a thousand. If this were a national gift, if it stood on the basis of the Smithson grant, I would, as a matter of course, be willing to vote the thanks of the Congress of the United States ; but it stands in no na tional position whatever, and, therefore, that cannot claimed for it.' In making this grant the donor, I understand, de clared that he did it as a duty. If it i: done as a Christian charity, as a Chris tian duty, he has his reward hereafter and the consciousness of it here, and I am not disposed to doubt the ability of the Almighty to reward him to the utmost, and I do not suppose it is necessary for me to help the Deity out by granting a gold medal here. I prefer to leave him to his golden reward hereafter. I think he also says that he regards it as a privi lege to make this gift. Sir, it is a privi lege, a privilege that few man will ever have; and the benefits cf the privilege are great distinction among men here, honor after death for having granted so much for so great a charity. I say, therefore, that if it had all been for the benefit of my constituency I should not have voted a national medtl for him, but would be lavish of the honors of Nebras ka individually upon him for the munifi cence cf the grant. With this view of the question, impelled to it from a sense of duty, I cannot and will not make any distinction between the giver cf a dollar and the giver cf a thousand and the iver of a miiiicn, tvhea each in his sphere and in his capacity has done all that it was possible for him 10 do in be half of education and science and gene ral literature." . , lifcffs Items.

Advertiser Sir : U your pa per cf the 21sf instil ara scurnlausly and abusively attacked in two communi cations, one over the came of S. R. Jamj i?on, the other over that of 'IW Bad ford. ""Notwithstanding the source from which these attacks come, it is not im possible that they might do harm, your paper:reaching many to whom these men, Bedford and Jamison, are unknown. I canncrt iherefore, suffer tham to pass al together without rply, though what I have to say shall be brief and final. The simple facts in regard to the mak ing out of the affidavit of George Meier are these : Mr. Meier came to me and employed me as his attorney to secure for him the tract of land spoken of in affidavit, and his affidavit was drawn up by me for the purpose of founding there on an application to the General Land Office to cancel the entry of S. R. Jami son, and allow Meier to enter the tract as a Homestead v ,1 .wrote. p'utjthe a ffii--flavifpauently and" cirefu'Iy. ,;ead savor ing to make it conform' .exactly. to his statement of thefact3. Daring tha time I was taking down his statement a good many-persons caraa into my office, and there vvas ho time that some third per son was not present, and . doubtless I could show by different iwitnesses that every part -of-the affidavit-is -exactly as Meier gave' it to me. Aftertbe affidavit 'was written out I requested Mr. Hoover to read it' to.Meier, and if it should be cor rect, to 'swear Meier to Tit. which was done by Mr. Hoover. I am credibly in forjned that, before they sent their com munications to your paper, Jamison and Bedford had been told by Mr. Hoover of the fact that he had carefully read the affidavit to Meier before' swearing him to it. Messrs.' Jamison and. Bedford were therefore guilty of the basest cal umny in making the. charge they did against me. , ' .1 am'wiliing that my character for in tegrity and .veracity should-be .compared with that of S, R. Jamison and T. W. Bedford', and that the public should de cide whether .my- statement or 'theirs are entitled to the most credit. Whether the affidavit of Meier is true or not, I, of course, do cot know. At the time it was made I believed it to be true, and since that time the public have been favored with Jamison and Bedford's side of the story, and . will probably be able to form an opinion on the subject. I would say, however, that the tone in which the letters of these men are couch ed i3 not calculated to help them with thinking people. The language of abuse is generally employed where argument fails. It is much easier to say "you are a lier" than to ohour tlo falsity nf a statement by a calm denial, or a sound reason. It is, therefere, usually the case that this kind of language is used by person.3 of feeble intelect and bad in stincts, by little vulgar boys, arunken In dians and idiots. We have lately seen in this city a caso in point, that of the Wild Australian boy Tom, who could say "you lie" almost as well as Messrs. Jam json and Bedford. In this low and scurrilous field Idi not propose to enter into a contest with these men, but shall cheerfully leave to them the bad pre-eminence of excellency in blackguardism." Respectfully Yours, CHARLS G. DORSEY. . Written for the Advertiser. Wm. A. Pollock. Mr. Editor : The Republican party claims to be the peculiar friend of the soldier, yet on the ticket nomirated for City Officers for this city, there are the names of twelve men, not one of whom has been a soldier. Of cur County Offi cers three Commissioners, Clerk, Treas urer and Probate Judge but one has been a soldier. When I called the attention of a prom nent Republican to this fact, he asked: Why don't the soldier's friends bring forward their claims ? Thereby virtual ly confessing that soldiers have no friends among the leaders of the party in this place. , ' I suppose that any soldier who refuses to vote the ticket nominated last Thurs day evening, will be called a sore-head, copperhead, tic.

We go still farther than he; being a German Fenian, we are sorry, real sor ry, that these interests are so entirely ignored in the Republican Ticket, which IV. A.

For years past almost every Beard cf Aldermen in this city have had their in fluence impaired from a want of harmc ny. Several times half the Councilmen have resigned because .of their conflict ing opinions. ; With party lines drawn, we can reasonably hope for more har mony, and consequently more efficiency- ' ' ' ' But my principal object, Mr. Editor, in thi3 communication, is to call the atten tention cf the public (o the importance at the present time, cf selecting a Board cf Alderm'en possessing industry, energy, and financial ability The Legislature af its last session, passed an act enabling tL e "Cu yof"Bro fn y : II ? o "befrow 'm"o riey ca Bonds for' the purpose of grading our streets.
