The Ccrnmiitee reported the following
resolutions v.hich were unanimously
adopted ;
The members of this Bar have heard
with deep regret cf the death cf Hon.
William A. Little, cue cf the pioneers
cf the Ear ia Nebraska, and Chief Jus
lice cf the State.
Frcra the commencement cf his prac
tice as a Lawyer amongst us he 3S em
inently distinguished for the soundness
ci cis news ia legal matters, and his
success as a practitioner. As aa advo
cate, mere particularly in criminal cases,
he had natupericr, and but few if any
equals. Ia social intercourse he "was
frank and geaid, and as a companion
sad friend he was manly aj-.d reliable.
Ia testimony cf cur sorrow for his death,
we would submit the following resolution
Resolved, that we will cherish with
respect and affection the memory cf cur
deceased friend and brother, Wiiham A.
Little, as one cf the most able and lest
beloved members cf the Bar in Nebraska,
and as a noble, honorable and upright
man. As a citizen, as a lawyer, and
friend and brother, he will live in our
memory as one whose example is wor
thy cf imitation, and tl e remembrance cf
whoa, we will not willingly let d;e.
Resolved that we tender to the rel
atives cf the deceased the assurance cf
cur deep sorrow and heart-felt sympathy
in,,, their bereavement.
Resolved, that the President and Sec
retary of this meeting be directed to
present tnese resolutions to the District
Court of this County, at its next terra .and
to apply to have the same entered upon
me juuruai ct said I ourt.
Resolved, that thb proceedings cf this
meeting be published ia the Nebraska
Jidvtrtiitr.
Railroad Prospects.
Gen. Mocre, of Canton, Mo., finan
cial agent of the Mississippi &, Missouri
River Air Line R. R. paid this city a
visji on iasi luesuay, navmg; completed
his" trip through the northern tier cf
counties ia Missouri, which he has been
canvsssing to raise the funds to defray
tha expenses cf the preliminary survey
fcr the above named road. We were
jdeised to learn from him that his mis
aioa has resulted aa a perfect success, the
counties along the line having subscribed
liberally and being enthusiastic to have
the read under way.
Gen. Moore stopped at the Star Hotel
where a delegation cf our citizens wait
ed upon him and had quite an interest
ing interview. He was desirous cf im
mediately setting out for St. Louis, and
did start by beat about two o'clock the
same cay, cr a public meeting would
have been called.- As it was, however,
a frank conversation of half an hcur
.convinced us that this is the company
through when we may most reasonably
expect direct eastern railroad connection.
From him we receive the assurance
that the western terminus cf this read
is fixed as near as possible opposite this
point, and that it rests with the counties
west cf the Missouri whether the pre
liminary survey thall be made to a Pa
cific connection, cr cou The . corps of
Engineers cow surveying through Mis
souriwe are assured, will bs ordered to
extend their operatioa west as tooa as
President Davis, cf the M. tz M. R. A.
L. road, is satisfied that we will defray
its cost. The advantages to be gained in
this would be that the estimate cf the
road clean through would thus be laid
before tha company now contemplating
the Missouri section abova named and
they would be most likely to undertake
the work clean through, commencing its
construction at ence both west of the
Mississippi and Missouii. Again, while
the Engineers in whom the ccmpany
fcave tha most implicit confidence arc
here the survey can be made at a great"
..deal less-expense than though they have
;to,come again fcr this purpose. Again,
-ihis survey will be published to the world
.c? cap.tlisis, big fib and Email, and will
i judUics inveitmeEt if crdy fcr the
iyt!litczzzl Jt will give usttrcau, and,
ia connection with the Missouri se:tion,
cur penien cf the expenses cf ruch p-b-liratica
would te materially lessened.
The expenses cf such survey from the
Missouri river at Brownrilla to a con
nection with the Pacific at cr near Fort
Kearney tvouli not be much nor. . Ye
hope the citizens in the counties alonj
the proposed route will vinr this matter
deliberately and be ready to asnst the
ucrJw
In this connection ire copy ,ftoa the
Cantcn, Mo., Priss zi May 23d :
"The engineers cf tha M. 31. A.L.
Railroad completed their preliminary
survey cf ihe route from Quiney to Can
"ion, cn Saturday, tnd Lave passed oa
westward over the ol 1 rc-aie. Thus far,
the work prepresses favorably, r.cJ vre
have full ccnfldtrce that a most desirable
route will be located.
Recent intercourse vrith intelligent and
influential men from the northwest, as
sures us cf a deep interest ia this enter
prise the people of Nodaway and Gen
try as manifest in their vote fcr a most
liberal appropriation. A glance at the
cap will show that the route from Den
ver City to Fort Kearney, and thence to
Brownville, Memphis and Canton, ap
proximates mere nearly to aa air-line,
and afTords a longer stretch of that char
acter than any ether road cn the conti
nent. Indeed prominent ofilcera cf the
C. B. Q. Read, have assured us thai
the distance' from Chicago via Quincy
and Canton to Fort Kearney, i less than
through Omaha by the Iowa railroads."
Comparative Land Operations.
From the Washington Star we clip the
following statement cf public lands en
tered ia the different land cfHces named
during the month of April;
Brcwnville, Neb., 0,402 acres.
Jnnctica City, Kas., 13,403 acres.
Winnebago City, Minn., 4,S5Q acres.
Vermillion, Dakota Ter., 1,392 acres.
Eau Claire, Wis., 4,030 acres.
Greenleaf, Minn., 3.S37 acrea.
St. Peter, Minn., 3,070 acres.
Sioux City, Iowa, 95 acres.
East Saginaw, Mich., 20.6-51 acres.
Taylor's Falls, Minn., 5,912 acres.
La Crosse, Wis., 5.353 acres.
Little Reck, Ark., 4,660 acres.
Tallahasse, Fla., 1,697 acres.
'The greater portion of the land was
taken for actual settlement and cultiva
tion under the homestead law.'
A Woolen Factory,
We are pleased to state, is oa the
tapis ia this city. Mr. Emerson, form-,
erly a resident cf this city, but latterly
frora Montana, i3 now endeavoring to
form a company to erect a Factory in
this city. He understands the business,
and is honest and energetic We hope
our citizens will give this their immediate
attention. This Land District for which
Brownville is the natural cutlet ca the
river has now a larger number of sheep
than any other bordering cn the Missouri
river, and the reputation this section has
gained as a healthy sheep raising coun
try is fast attracting sheep and stock
raisers generally to this District. Seve
ral wealthy farmers frGtn the east have
purchased thousands of acres for stock
farms, and sheep raising, we have actual
knowledge, will be the main feature on
many of them. What we hare here to
induce the erection cf such a factory and
to sustain it is permanent and rrowint?
with a steady, healthy growth, that can
not be checked but by the destruction cf
the healthy climate -8nd rich soil upon
which it flourishes.
Prosecuting Attorney.
We notice that the Governor recom
mends the abolition cf the office of Coun
ty Prosecuting Attorney and the substi
tution cf District Prosecuting Attorney.
The argument is that a more competaal
officer could be secured in each District
and thi3 would ' render the conviction
and punishment cf criminals an cccur
rance les rare lhan at present."
We are unable to see the force of the
above. We have, so far, had good law
yers for Prosecuting Attorneys ia this
count', and as their fees are regulated
by order cf the Court. resp2ct for the
Court, compels the opinion that they have
earned all they have received. Upon
this ground does it look plausable tha
District Attorneyscan give their time and
pay travelling expenses through the
District and for the same compensation
as local attorneys residing at each County
Seal J If cot the salary must be in
creased, and fcr what? Simply to make
more scientific politicians scramble fcr
it. Wo are opposed to concentratioa in
this or any other set cf offices; and be
lieve that the true system cf a thorough
Stale government is that which gives to
each county the most distinct and sepa
rate control cf the officers who are to
operate within its bounds. By the Dis
trict Attorney system we have a Prose
cuting Attorney while the court, is in
session ; by the present system he is in
his place at all times.
The last point made, we think, is mere
chargeable to the Iack'cf means to hold
criminals until conviction and to punish
in after conviction.
With all due defference to the wisdera
that suggested it we hepe this recom
mendation will be skipped.
The foreign news, by the cable, is
a;s.ia threatening. The Ccnirressof the
Powers, in consequence cf . Prussia de
clining to assent to the dismantling of
the Fortress cf Luxemburg unless they
would guarrante8 the settlement of the
whole question, had adjourned to enable
representatives to receive telegraphic
instructiens frcn their rssre-tive rnvfra.
. c
ments.-
The writer cf the article ca Negro
Suffrage oa cur first page to-day, is well
known ia Ohio, where the appeal was
made, as a man cf great scholastic
knowledge, and one who neter before
tjok a position in fiver cf negro vctinz.
We thkk the terse and al'e manner in
which the subject is'dijccssed exceeds
anything in that line, and therefore com
mend it ta the unterrified and the luke
warm upon this present national question.
LEGISLATIVE,
Although we repeatedly requested car
delegation to give us information of the
actual workings cf the Legislature' we
are forgotten, in the general whirl pool
cf politics and log rolling. -We hope
they will remember a proud constituency
sufScient to let them know what is going
on, .as the newspaper reports, where the
number of a bill is only give without the
title, are f uch that we can make but very
little out of them. We'll do the best we
can, however, under the circumstances.

Tfee Cas&merc S&aw! Goat-
Mr. Editor At your request the fol
lowing hastily written and compiled arti
cle is furnished and at your disposal.
The Goat, in several of its varieties,
isa wool bearing animal. The fine breeds
are found in Angora, Northern Persia,
Cashmere. Necanl. Thibet. They are
found, .varying in some' particulars, in
c;, To-,, r,A RWI Snmfi
vears'a?o. under rnanv difficulties they
were introduced into France and England,
Sometime about 1S45 Dr. Davis, of
South Carolina, under a commission from
President Polk, visited the Sultan of
Turkey to instruct his people in the art
of manufacturing cotton iato fabrics,
While engaged ia this he first saw the
Cashraere wool brought to Constantino-
rda hv the native, and old at hiVh nrices.
Re red and shJ d eieven'head to
Columbia. S. C. This was the introduc-
tion of Cashmere Goats into the U.S."
They attracted but little attention until
within the past few years. Within two
years past the Business of importing and
raising Cashmeie Goats has ..been, per
haps, more extensive than that of any
other class of stock. The Tennessee
and Georgia Cashmere Goat Companies
have sold into the State of Ohio the past
year over one hundred thousand dollars
worth of Gcats, obligating themselves to
take all the wool for the next four years
at six dollars per pound.
The principal points, or characterist
ics, of the Cashmere Goat now beinrr
bred in this country, are large pendant
ears, limbs slender and clearly formed,
horas large and partially spirally twisted
fleece long, silky and pure white. InThi-
bet we are informed there are three col-
ors. "Those which pasture on the hiffh
est portions of Mountains' have a bright
9
ocre color. In lower grounds the color
. . ......
becomes of a yellowish white ; and still
further downward, entirely white.'
Rees Cyclopedia, in speaking of this an-
imal remarks: "In its native countrv it
is highly valued, and with sufficient rea
son, for it is a source cf riches to its cul
tivators. The finest and most costly robe3
of the highest class in Turkey being
fabricated of its fleece. The price it
bear3 is very great. Most of the Euro
a
pean nations have agents for purchasing
the valuable wool of this animal, which
the Turks it is reported, will not allow

' Pure Blood Cashmere Bucks are rang
ing frem S500 to $2500 each. Mr. Wil
liam3 of Granville, Ohio, says, in writ
ing cf his fine Buck, "I may offer Sara
50n Ior saie Dexl year-P"
lioeaoi same graae range irorawuu
to 51,000 each. utl bloods, sixty-three

tor a "mere song, ixow tney commana
from gli) tO fcJ5.
As to prices of the wool : In tha On-
ental provinces, the best class, after it is
combed, is worth two rupees per pound.
A rupee is equal atjout S7 t) in our
com. In Paisley, cotIand, where it is
manufactured to a great extent, it -is
worth from t5 to S 50 per pound. At
Lowell, Mass., it nas ceen bringing SI,
oU to W for coarse ; 2.50 to S.3,50 for
thort fine, S4 to S5 for long fine, per
pound. The wool 13 both graded and
classed. Kids under one year eld No. 1:
Yearling Does and Yearling Wethers,
No 2 : Yearling Bucks and eld Does No
3 : Aged Buck?, No 4. The woo! in its
native country 13 palled from the animal,
not sheared. It should, and eventually
will be in this country. Upon the karae
coarser, cy reason 01 irequem
CP picg than a vwoman's whose hair is
seldom trimmed, the quality of wool de
teriorates each year from shearing. And
by-the-way, the same results areraduc-
d by sheariug fine wool shep.
.Of the durability of the wool, Doctor
Davis, the Jirst importer into the United
States, says in his Report to the Patent
ofuce in la53. that while in lheir native
country, he procured apaircf socks from
the eece of these animal?, which he
wcre for six years. He further says h
a i. .u : . t
saw wrappers used by the natives vvhieh
they assured him, "had descended from
sire to son for three generations."
The first instance on record, of the
manufacture of .Gcat's wool, is, we are
told, "while Moses was camped at Sioai.
Special wisdem was given lor the spin
ning of oats fcair for the curtains of ihs
Tabernacle," which was adorned with
rich embroidery. The passion for such
still exists, vre are informed among the
Persians. The manufacture cf shawls
from gcafs wool first originated ia the
V alW of .Cafhmere. the ancient Cas
pisa, ia the North-west cf India, where
they still constitute aa important part of
dress. The genuine Cashmere Sha wis
are woven by the natives and principal
ly by hand. The wool is first combed cr
pulled frora oat3 in the Mountains and
borne cpoa the backs of men over the
dangerous precipices impassable.by cam
els cr mules." The cost cf the shawls ia
a sutiect of wonder until we are acquain
ted with the history cf its manufacture.
It is said that "The labor cf three per
sons is required for 400 days to manufac
ture a single one. - The Asiatics avoid
spinning the wool hard, ia order that the
shawl may be soft. They use a spindle
which consists of a ball cf clay, with an
iroa wire attached. The , finger and
thumb cf the spinner are kept smooth
by steatite powder."
A committee appointed by the South
ern Central Agricultural Association of
Georgia in 1S57, ia their report which
is quite lengthy and in detail, speaks cf
their flesh as an article of food ; their
liability to be destroyed by Dogs, and the
regions of our country to which they ara
best adapted, as follows:
"We have never Jndulged ia the ex
travagant luxury of feasting upon a full
blood animal cf this variety, but we have
oa several occasions, made a hearty meal
on the quarter, half and three-quarter
bloods, and all wno dined ia company
Fronoinc &e meat superior to lamb ;
hhe flaror approaches nearer to venison
lhan ts roimonv
"If lhia animal was as liabIe l? be
killed by Dogs as the common sheep, we
wouId tremble for the perpetuity of the
race ia our country. A flock of sheep
when surprised by dogs scatter ia .every
direction, and thus fall an easy prey.
When" the dog approaches a herd of
goats, they immediately huddle together
facing the enemy, the eld bucks in ad-
vance, prompted both by curiosity and a
disposition to fight. No dog is bold
enough to attack them." This I have
found true in every herd. Both the bucks
and dce3 with young, will attack a dog or
any other animal coming about them
For this reason they are valuable to as
sociate with a herd of sheep.
"If this goat is constitutionally adapt
d 10 fcrae the cold steppes of the Eas
lern Caucassian, Himalay, and Altian
Mountains, it would not suffer in our cold
est regions, and would thrive along al
8ldes of lDe Alleghenny and Rocky raouu
I . i
tains. ine wnoie western country
from Nebraska down to Western Texas
aod ew Mexico, may be rendered a
feeding: ground admirably adapted to the
raising cf large flocks of these Goats and
their crosses." . R. W.FURNAS.
