Pursuant to notice, the members cf the

electing the officers of the Society for
the coming-year, with the following re

pleted to opposite Brownville.
The Route declared Good and
Practicable. Seventy Miles to
be pnt under Contract this Fait.
The "'Pennsylvania Central" in
the Ring.
Messrs. Smith, Brown and Grant, who
have teen conducting the Survey of the
Mississippi and Missouri River Air Line
Railroad, reached Scott City, opposite
this pis' ce, last Saaturday, about 3 o'clock,
seemingly well satisfied with their work
and cf the practicability of the route
surveyed. They found the country on
the route rich ia mineral and Agricultu
ral wealth. Several fine coal beds were
crossed on the Charitan River a bed of
coal was discovered six feet thick.
Heavy bodies cf oak and other timber
were passed through cn. the route, the
best being on the hills cf the Charitan.'
They freely admit that the route survey
ed is much better than was expected by
them cn starling oat.
At 2 o'clock, Messrs. McPherson,
Furnas, and Blacburn a committee ap
pointed by the B. Ft. K. Si P. R. R. Co.
of this city together with Senator Tip
ton and other prominent citizen?, crossed
the river and escorted the party to this
city, where they remained, the guests
of the city, until last Monday morning.
While here the party were shown over
the country ia every direction from this
city, and expressed themselves favorably
as to the practicabily of a route from
this point west, and were much pleased
with the country generally.
The party have returned to Quincy to
make out their report of the survey for
publication, which will detain them until
the lt of October, when they will re
turn to make the survey west to Fort
Kearney and. a connection with the Pa
cific Railroad, which will be published
in connection with the survey just
completed. They also expressed the
opinion that seventy miles of the road
from Quincy west would be put under
contract yet this full.
The distance, by this survey, from
Quincy to Brownville is 279 25 miles;
from Rockporl to Brownville is.7 25
miles. The first distance we learn, the
Surveyors think can yet be shortened
ia several places.
' We regard this survey as definitely
and favorably settling the question cf an
early eastern and western railroad con
nection through this section of country.
It3 feasibility will be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of several cf the heaviest rail
read companies running to the Atlantic
seabcard and desiring an air line coa
nectioa with the Great Unioa Pacific
road west from Omaha; among these
are the Pennsylvania Central, the Great
Western and the Logansport, Peoria and
Burlington read, vrhich latter road is
now building a read from Pecria to Keo
kuk, which will make a perfect Air Line
from Lcganspcrt, Ind., via Pecria, I1L,
Keckuk, la., Brownvilla and Ft. Kear
ney, Neb., to a Pacific connection, cf
S10 miles, the longest and most perfect
JlSr Line Railroad in (he vcrU! The
casterD interests involved will surely put
the rc;d jhrcgh, ts it is a commercial
necessity to both New York and Phila
delphia, and a hundred inland cities.
Counties along the route in Missouri
are in real earnest about this road, al
ready have they voted near three-fourths
of a million dollars in bonds to aid in its
construction, and that will te doubled
when work is actually begun.
To Brownville this begins a new era
in he?rogress and prosper.ty which
will know no stoppage until she becomes
one cf the leadirr cities tf the Missouri
valley, a centre known to the commerce
of the world. And Nemaha county and
the counties west will have at their very
doors the markets of the world in com
petition for their produce. . Yet. the end
is tot yet
somtlliing
vet remains
for
us to do; let us Le ready to do our share
in this great wcrk whenever called upon.

thanks to 'yourselves and the citizens of
Brownville fcr ycur very hospitable wel

The above acknowledgement is grate
fully accepted by cur citizens, with our
best wishes for their welfare, and the
hope of soon'seeing them return to com
plete the survey to a connection with the
Union Pacific railroad.
: "Mjr'-Corinirj, 'lis of Thee."
Many able American statesmen regard
the present situation of the country, po
litically, as one full of danger to liberty
and peace. Johnson has removed nearly
all those oflicers who had found favor
with the loyal people and engendered
the hate of rebels for the faithful execu
tion of the law providing. for the recon
struction of the late rebel States; he
is doing all ia his power to render laws
cf Congress inoperative against rebels
and to delay -reconstruction ;"he is said
to be intoxicated the greater portion of
his time, a burning disgrace to the na
tion. The rebels of Maryland are arm
ing as fast as possible, and the copper
head press of the north are proclaiming
that actual, bloody war will follow any
attempt cf Congress to interfere with
our rebel President's programme. Gen.
Grant has proved himself no statesmen
may we never have cccasion to doubt
his patriotism by "accepting" the po
sition made vacant by the removal of
Sec. Stanton, which was. really the en-
terirtg wedge to the present deplorable'
state cf affairs.
Under all these circumstance we
do
not apprehend serious trouble. The
President,, if he persist in hi3 pres
ent course, will surely be impeached at
the next session of Congress. About
that time rebels may make an attempt to
usurp the Government by backing John
son, and if so, they will be whipped, and
"amnesty and mercy" be "played out."
The Fair Grounds and Fair.
We have just returned from a visit to
the Fair Ground?, in compauy with Col.
Furnas, President of the Society, where
we found the work progressing favora-i
bly for the accommodation of everythingr
that may come or be brought..
Twenty acres of ground have been
secured about a quarter of a mile south
of the city limits, upon the bottom next
to the timber which borders on the river.
The ground is beautiful, level bottom,
and ia as fine a site as could be secured
at the time. . .
Workmen are now engaged erecting
a building upon the ground 49 by 100
feet, to contain three tables 10Q feet
long, to display the small household and
other articles that have to be housed to
be kept dry. This building will be a
strong substantial structure capable, it is
supposed, cf containing all the kinds of
articles above named and leaving abun
dant rocrn for visitors.
' Four hundred stalls are being built,
and will be prepared for the reception of
all kind3 of stock la time for the Fair.
Yet, in the event that this number of
stalls should not be sufficient, arrange
ments have been made for double this
number, and material and workmen will
be on hand to build as fast as needed.
A trotting track,- lj3 of a mile in
length, has been laid off and is being
prepaired for the Fair by the Brownville
Trotting Club, who are determined to
spare nothings to make this arrangement
No. 1.
The Fair Ground will be enclosed as
wall as circumstances will admit, this be
ing the beginning, fund cn hand will not
admit of a tight board fence all around,
yet the enclosure will be as complete as
necessary, considering the natire hones
ty cf our people." ; -
Good, fresh water will be on, th
grounds in abundance, J. C. Deuser has
kin'diy consented to place in position sev
eral cf his new Patent Pump?, which
will supply, the tv&nts of all.
The Fair is close at hand, and the in
terest manifested so far gives ihe grati
fying assurance of perfect succbss. All
seem elire to its importance. - r ..
Fvprvlio.'Jvf should mate ud their mmu
j j
to bring something. Many wcrtuy ob
jects have teen inadvertently omitted by
the Premium List Committee, yet every
thing placed on exhibition will be award
?d a premium if deserving. -Let every
lady in tha county prepare something, a-
jar cf preserve?, jam, pickle?, butter, cr
cheese, or needle work of some kind;
few ladies but pride themselves upon
doing somethings better than the aver
age, we hope all will- try themselves up
on something-. It is also expected of the
ladies of the count y and this vicinity es
pecially, that they will as:i2t ia prepar
ing decoratijns and adorning tho hall.
We doubt net they will be cn hand.
Nemaha County 'AgricnKcral'Falr.
-For the benefit of those who may de
sire lo exhibit articles, or stock of any
kind, at the coming Annual Fair,not enu
merated in the Premium List, I desire
to say that. all articles or stock that may
be exhibited not provided fcr in the list,
will be placed under the management cf
the Discretionary Committee, and pre
miums in cash or Diplomas will be awar
ded worthy and successful exhibition?.
By so doing the Society will be enabled
that will in all respects meet the exact
demands of this section. Let there be
no backwardness in exhibiting anything
and everything that Will in the leas; add
to the interest and usefulness cf the Fair.
There will be plenty Feed, hay, corn,
etc., and stock water convenient, and on
the ground to supply all demands. .

Mjslerlous Disappearance.
Considerable mystery enshrouds
the
present whereabouts of Rev. B. C. Gol
laday, Pastor of the M E Church of this
city. He left this phace for Nebraska
City on the 2d, apparently reaching there
on the same day. as a letter from him
was mailed from that city on the 2d.
This letter, addressed to his wife, was
not taken out of the cfiice here, until
Friday morning. - This epistle is affec
tionate and loving, containing directions
to his wife how and'where to obtain pos
session of his property, commending her
to the care of kind providence, and state
ihg his'determination to visit the bottom
cf the Missouri river and remain there
until life had left its frail tenement.
. Since this nothing has been heard cf
him, although several of the members of
his church have made diligent search and
inquiry. ' . .
The .carnal minded have located his
whereabouts with a lady who left here
some weeks ago; this story has been
proven false, as.wre knew it would be,
Mr. Golladay having been a printer pre
vious to accepting a call to the ministry.
. Mr. Golladay is abcut six feet, very
slim, - stopping and round - shouldered;
hasblue eyei, light hair, light whiskers,
slightly sprinkled with gray. Any in
formation concerning him will reach his
friends by being addressed to this office.
t District Ccart
the 1st Judicial District, Chief
Fcr
Justice Mason, presiding, convened in
this city last ? Monday morning, and is
still dispensing justice as we go to press.
This is the first term of District Court
held ira this county for over a year, and
from the attendance it would seem that
cur people were hungry for justice.-
Judge Mason fills our ideal cf a good
judge-prompt, : impartial and fearless
iri the. discharge of his duty. May his
shadow never decrease. .
Cur County Treasurer,
Hon. Jonas Hacker, his been very sick
during the past two week?, even i;hb
unto death, and the regular proceeding
ia his office have been somewhat disturb-
ed in consequent

who understood the boo '.'3 well ar. 1 cculd
attend to all. the business.' This L:;uty
concluded about a wecc since to quit,
leaving the effice closed, and the Treas
urer unable to instruc: any one in the
bocks; since which time T. C. Hacker
has had charge cf the effice. . Yet, as
fate seemed cetermmea to close the
effice, T. C. Hacker was empannelled on
the Petit Jury last Monday. .
We have never had a County Treas
rer who has labored more faithfully cr
been at his post cf duty more regularly
than Mr. Hacker, and, in this instance,
he needs noexcuse, ns a bare statement
of the circumstances, over, which he
could have no control, is sufficient. : .
The KewScIiool Law.
-On our first page,to-c'ay, will te found
the New School Law. As to its being
an improvement' upon the old there is n
great diversity cf opinion, yet the Nfrw
Law seems to us far more simple and
plain than the' old, and. adapted .to the
Iwaniscf any sized district;. we speak
not from actual knowledge of the ope
rations of either, yet much difficulty has
been experienced with ihe old, while the
New seems to us'to afford no chance for.
doubt or misunderstanding. All should
read it carefully and preserve it for fu
ture reference. It is the law cf the land
at least until the meeting of the next
Legislature' in "63 C9.
We are sorry that' a difficulty should
exist among the Republicans cf Bedford
Precinct, and' do not think the personal
correspondence handed us last Wednes
day, if published, would mend the mat
ter ; besides, we never
publish
com
munications unless signed by some re
sponsible party. . As this trouble is about
a School House we hope a remedy may
be found in the New School Law.
A Soldier's Burial. To morrow,
Thursday, August 29. h, the remains cf
Merrit 13. Slocuni will be committed to
their final resting place in Forty-Fort
Cemetry, from the house cf his father.
Mr. Thomas Slu'eum, in Kingston, with
military honors.
Merrit B. Slocum wai acting Sergeant
Major iu the 1ft Nebraska Cavalry, a
detachment of which with the 5-iih Illi
nois Infantry, were on duty at Grand
Prairie, Arkansas, 21th August, IS64.
when our troops there had .several battles
with the orwhelraing forces of the reb
els'. Mr. Slocum was taken prisoner
with, the remains of ihe detachment af
ter the fight, and on th retreat of ' the
enemy b fore reinforcements of the
Union army he was taken sick with
chills from which he had been suffering
several days before. The r beta, part cf
Shelby's command, curspd. him and drove
him on' after he had fallen exhausted.
They gave him a horse, and a comrade
thus writes :
-I was ordered on and a horse was
brought him to ride, and I supposed, that
all was right. About an hour afterwards
a man named Graham, came o me and
told me that the rehs had t hot Slocum."
-Tt seems that the fever was on him,
'and thev kept cuicinr him that he did
net ride to suit them, threatening to
shoot him, &.c. He finally lure open his
shirt, and told them to shout. On reb,
asked, "Captain shall I shoot the son of
a b ?" The reply was "yes d
him. shoot him."
"The villain fired, and ycur poor son
fell dead, shot through the breast "
This was near the farm tf a Mr. Bulls,
who has since kindly aided Mr. Slocum
in recovering the bones of his son. He
was 23 years old the February before
his death.
The -rebels are the men who now do
loudly demand their rights. 'Let them
have justice.
We copy the above from the Record of
the Times, publis-hed at" Wilks-Barre Pa.
Sergant Slocum was captured with the
detachment of Lieut. Polock, ofLthis city,
who knew him well as a brave and fear
less soldier. The above is but another
link in the chain that binds the rebel
cause, and its Northern sympathizers, to
the wheel of public damnation.
The Progress or the Conspiracy.
-It-is but a few days more than one
month since Congress adjourned. One
of the most exciting and interesting de
bates ct the July session was on the
question of adjournment; and already
the country sees that it was one of the
most important questions considered at
the session. There were taose in Con
gress who- had the cagacny to see, and
the courage tp say, that Congress ought
not to adjourn while Andrew Johnson
still possessed power. But they were in
the minority in both branches cf the na
tional legislature. They were squarely
outvoted by a majority who believed, or
affected to believe, that Mr. Johnson
could do uo harm. Some of them asser
ted the opinion that he did not desire to
do harm. . Already this majority can
see its "mistake. Mr. Johnson has shown
that they asserted ; what they ' did not
know, or he has grown to be a ucrse
man than they were willing to believe he
could be. Which is ill Let. those who
trusted him answer. But let us see what
a month has brought forth.
1st. The President invited the Secre
tary of War to resign.
2nd.- Mr.- Stanton declined, believing
it to ba his duty, and the will of the loyal
people cf the cation that he should hold
on.
3rd. The President requests Gen.
Grant to accept the War Office tempora
rily: -
4th. Gen. Grant does accept, and so
informs Mr. Stanton, who, cf coarse, re
tires. . There was no alternative,; Here
was his successor, ia the person of -Gen-
1 r.f iha Armv to
nr.? tho ordc-r cf I ' ' T77 .1.7 TffT r,7?r ,V-
the president come to relieve him. The
civil ;,nd the military uniteJ. Did the
loyal people J-.;sire tais u-na j aj.j cue
man loyal to tho law s;k to have it done?
Ihve thi-.js repressed better sinco it
v.-as done ? Let the people answer.
o h. Tha Preiidant issues an order for
tha removal cf Gsa. Sheridan.
C:b. Gen. Grant pretests in manly
terms and with ccgent reason?. But the
President will not relent. Therefore,
Grant issues the order, and the wul cf
the nation is defied, and one of its most
faithful and trusted agents is dihoncrcd.
so far as it is in the power of Mr. John
son todishoner him. Did aoy loyal man
want thi3. done ? Not one. Only reb
els and their co-workers wanted Sheri
dan removed.
7th. Gen. Sickles is ordered to surren
der his department to Gen. Canby. Did
any loyal citizer.3 ask for the removal of
Sickles? D;d aLV such citizen ask-for
the appointment of Canny ? Why, then,
wf re these changes made ?
Sih. The President orders Gen. Thom
as to Louisiana. He cannot go. There
fore, he orders Gen. Hancock to be with
drawn from his command and sent to
Lnuiiiana. ''
-9ih. .Gen.' Grant-declines to crdr
Hancock tu Louisiana for- the all suffi
cient reason that Hancock is 'opposed to
the .law he will be required lo execute.
Bat finally Grant submit, but Jirrcs
that none of the orders issued by Sheri
dan shall be abrrgated without the asrent
of the General cf the army. - The Pres
ident objects, and in a subsequent order
virtually annuls tne saving clause ci
Grant's ordur.
10th. The President directs that Sner
idan at once assumes command in the
west, without reporting at Washington,
as ordered by Grant.
These are the things accomplished.
Those premised are,
1st. ihe removal of Gen. Howard
from' the charge cf the Freedmen's Bu
reau. - -
2nd. The removal cf General Pope.
3d. A reformation of the Cabinet so
as to completely Johnonizo it.
4th. War upon the loyal pres? by
withholding information from rarer?
o
which do not support the Johnson non-
reconstruction policy.
