lirownville, Mass Meeting, Jan. 4,
Good Speakers will be at the above
places at the times specified. Any op
posed to the subscription are invited to
be present and participate in the discus
sion. Turn out, citizens of Nemaha
County, and prepare to cast your ballots
on the 7th of January, next.
Eallroad Election.
In our last week's issue we endeavor
ed to show that the voters cf Nemaha
county, ought to vote for the Bonds and
the Tax on the 7th day of January next
rs an inducement to the M & MA L II
II Co., to bui'd their road to this county
and that as expeditiously as possible.
We wish now to show, first that the
investment will be a financial success.
Our county is about twenty miles wide.
We estimate that $700,000 will grsde
and lay the iron through the county.
This money, if the vote is favorable; can
all be raised from the business men of
this county, and we will assume that not
one cent will ever be called for unless
the land grant is'obtained, or unless the
funds to finish the road to Ft. Kearney
is secured beyond a doubt. Congress,
ional aid for roads has heretofore been
ten sections for every mile cf road, or
G100 acres, which valued at $6 ger acre
(the price the Illinois Central sold hers
at when building that road) amounts to
$3S,400per mile, sufficient to construcuhe
balance of the road to aDy desired point
In other words a capital of $700,000
vvtlh the aid of the lands, will construct
a. road worth as many millions. One
half of which will be owned by the coun
ty of Nemaha. So we conclude the in
vestment cf $350, will be a financial suc
cess. Secondly, that when the Missouri road
is completed to the Missouri river oppo
site our county, our farmers with just the
real estate they cow own, will be worth
more than they now are by twice the
$350,000. Residents of this county own
100.COO acres of land, situated in Ne
maha county, which is assessed at $5
per acre, and which is probably worth
$10 per acre, on aa average, or $1,000,
000 in the aggregate.
Now we will suppose "the road through
Northern Missouri built, and the cars
running thereon from Quincy, Illinois, to
Peru, Brownville, or Nemaha City, in
this county; this of itself would make
certain the completion of our road, and
this certainly would enhance the value
of all real property in this county in the
same ratio as the building of the U P
R R did the real property of Dougjas
County, as the following comparative
statement of the valuation of the two
counties more fully shows:

All admit that Nemaha county being
the better county cf the two, should un
der as favorable circumstances, show as
much vi more assessable property than
Douglas; yet Douglas, with her railroad
advantages, leads its now by about five
millions of dollars. And as Douglas
from 1663 to 1564, without a railroad,
but. because of the moral certainty that
the soon was to have, increased her val
uation by almost $1,000,000. So we
conclude that the resident farmers of Ne
maha county, with the road completed to
her borders, through Northern Missouri,
from Quincy, hich would render mor
ally certain the completion of our own
road, would realise a like profit, and that
their real estate, now worth $1,000,000
would then be worth $2,000,000 or at the
lowest estimate, more lhan twice the
$350,000, in advance of its present val
ue. Thirdly, That the tax to be levied to
raise the principle and interest is only
about one third of the increased market
value of your exportations.
We estimate the increase on the va
rious productions of export of the county
as follows : -400,000
bu corn at 10 cts per bu $40,000
100,000 wheat " " " 10,000 !
10,000 head cf Cattle at $2 each 20,000
Total ... S70.000
Deduct interest on the Bonds $24,500
Leaving gain to the County cf $45,500
Ve Relieve the facts as they may be j
developed in the future, will fully war
rant the conclusions we have arrived at.
They have this merit, at least, we be
lieve ihern to be true.
Next week we will endeavor to show
that a tax of three mills on the dollar
each year for twenty years will more
than pay the principle and interest of the
loan asked for
Onr Coantj OQcers.
The people cf Nemaha County will
be pleased to learn that they are being
well served by the new county officials
They are coustant and attentive to busi
ness, and gentlemanly in their deport
ment with those having business to trans
act. The County Clerk i3 putting the fin
ishing touch upon the tax list for 1867.
The Treasurer is awaiting the reception
of the same, and he hopes soonto be
prepared to receive the people's money,
and receipt therefor, as the law directs.
The Sheriff demands that peace and or
der prevail throughout the county, and
is quietly serving the processes cf the
Court. He feels at home, in hi busi
ness, having been there before by order
of the voters of this county. His honor,
the County Judge, is snugly enscoused ov
er the City Trug Stcre, and is ready to
make such orders as will compel exec
utors, administrator, and guardians to
deal justly with the property of absent
and infant heirs. They have so far
made a good beginning and we shall
always stand ready to commend them to
the public so long as they continue to
discharge their official duties without fearj
favor, fraud, or affection, honestly, and
punctually as occasion demands.

A conference of soldiers and sail

12th and 13th instants a severe snow
storm prevailed from Chicago to Boston,
blocking cars, mails and travel in all

sion prevails in the vicinity, and it is dif
ficult to ascertain ! details. The Colonel
did not succeed in making his escape.

er security. Twenty lives were lost by
the explosion.
The Reason Wlif.
President Johnson bitterly complains
in bis message because the conservative
element of the South has not the control
ing influence in the Congressional plan
of reconstruction. The Virginia Con
servatives have lately held a convention
for the purpose of devising means lode-
feat the adoption of the Constitution to
bs submitted to the registered voters for
their approval, at which they resolved
that "Virginia had a Constitutional right
to secede." "That no pledge was violat
ed by that State in seceding," &c. It is
because Congress thought it wise to per
mit the vote of a loyal black man to
count as much as a vote of one of these
arrant rebels in the election of officers
that Johnson, with the approval of the
democratic party, indulges, in his mes
sages to Congress, in "Negro Domina
tion," "unconstitutionality" "Tyranical"
&c, when he speaks of Congress and
its policy of reconstruction.
The White taoud (Kansas.) Chief of

braska at Lincoln. City, they have drop
ped the "City" from the title, and as we
learn have accepted Gov. Butler's offer,
and now propose to run the road to the
new Capital, leaving the river at Rulo,
in Richardson county, thenca up the Big
Nemaha. The Chief further adds :,
"Ihus u will be seen, that by this
road, the very "neart of Nebraska will
have direct communication with St. Lou
is through Kansas, and this road will be
the shortest route to that State, and will
place St. Louis nearer than k Chicago to

lish their proceedings.
Washington, Dec. 12th.
The President, late this afternoon,
sent to the Senate, in executive session
a confidential document setting forth the
reason for the suspension of Secretary
Stanton. The President dwells strongly
on the point that therevas a total lack
of harmony between Secretary Stanton
and himselfwhich led to frequent quar
rels in the Cabinet. He says he had given
Mr. Stanton to understand, on several
occasious, that his resignation would be
accepted, but that no notice was taken of
his wish in that regard. He charges that
at the time of the New Orleans riots
Stanton was fully aware of the danger
of a general outbreak, but that he with
held the dispatches cqnceriog the situa
tion from the President for eleven days,
thus putting it out of: the power of the
Excutive; to order the taking of precaution
to prevent a riot, and that while the
rung from one end to the other with abuse
of the President.
The President, in giving his summary
of Stanton's views, seeks to show that
his opinions, at first, and for some time,
were the same as those of the Executive
and other members of the Cabinet.' He
then takes the point that Stanton chang
ed, and without signifiyng such change,
did all he could, as the head of the war
office, to thwart and interfear with the
policy of the administration. The docu
men does not show or hint any malfeas
ance in offico.on the part of Mr. Stanton,
but makes it very plain that there was
bitter hostility between him and the Pres
ident. He regards the tenure of office act
as clearly and flagrantly unconstitutional,
in which opinion he is sustained by the
Cabinet, and he holds that he would have
a perfect right to remove Mr. Stanton at
once, but is willing to leave the case
with the Senate.
The message wa3 read and referred
to the militaty committee.
Washington, Dec. 16. Mr,. Benjamin,
of Missouri, introduced a series of reso
lutious, to day, declaring that Congress
would not recede from its present policy
of reconstruction, arid censuring the Pres
ident for ndeavonj3gf" to defeat recon
struction. The Democrats moved to lay
on the table, but the House refused, and
they were adopted by a large majority.
Detroit, Mich., Dec 25. Hon. Geo.
Martin, Chief justice of this State, died
to day in thts city.
Paris, Dec 15. The general confer
ence on the Roman question has been
abandoned, the leading European gov
ernments having finally declined to take
part in it.
