Everything teems to ts moving td

Nebraska Trunk I'..:!r : 1 The peo
ple of Nebraska alor. t ie Use a'-l
awake and anxious fLr the c;; :tu
nity to which we are r nn.'tted to ex
tract from a jr urtecf Liters toce cf
our citizens. One from Omaha, Nov.
24. "The principal politicians of the
State are now here. They are talking
up the State Land question. Every
thing looks well for our railroad. It
certainly attracts more attention than
any other. I have a long letter from
Mr. -cf St. Louis, which I will
send "you In ft day or two." Another
from Nebraska City of date Nov. -5.
"We have St. Louis advices that are
favorable, and assurance that our mil
lion of dollars will be appropriated in
of our enterprise."
As soon as the Company Is fully or
ganized our people may look for tnri
nets. Mb. Editor: I may safsly say, that
the great question now before the peo
ple of Nebraska, and will be before the
coming Legislature, is our State Lands
how shall we dispose of them most
advantageously, or rather to come to
the point, shall they be appropriated
for Railroad purposes? If for such
purposes,
shall the lands themselves
be given direct toKallroai companies,
or sold by the State and the proceeds
given to aid Eailroad enterprises?
So far as I have read, most of the news
papers In Nebraska are advocating
"Let us preserve these lands for 'ac
tual settlers' and appropriate the pro
ceeds arising from their sale to the
building of Railroads." Let cs look
at this question in a practical point of
view. If Railroads are cot to be built
through Nebraska until the lands are
old to "actual settlers," how lonj do
you suppose we will have to wait for
Railroads! How many "actual set
tlers'' To yea suppswesrr going to pay
$1,23 and $2,50 for State Lands, when
they can get equally as good lands as
Homsteads, for nothing or simply
the fcCce fees. The fact is, that Rail
roads will bring "actual settlers" into
Nebraska when nothing else will
Build a Railroad along the Missouri
river, from the Southern to the North
ern line of the State, and in the inte
rior, say through the second and third
tier of counties, and the population
and wealth of Nebraska will increase
one hundred fold ; and 'actual settlers'
will take np every foot of land along
your roads la preference to Home
steads. Build your Railroads frtt!
Will capitalists build your roads
through a new country like ours with
out help? Will these roads be built
without the appropriation of of lands?
If so, we are a fortunate people more
so than others who have lived before
us. A correspondent of the Omaha
Republican, 'Improvement, has writ
ten the most sensible article I have
read on this subject. He esys : "The
theory of holding these lands for "ac
tual settlers" is calculated to tickle the
fancy it sound well, and at first
blush is so plausible that it is popular
with the masses. But it is thoroughly
unsound in practice. What we want
Is Farmers in Nebraska. Build Rail
roads, and render farming a pro 2 Labia
business in the interior as well as
along the river line, and In a very few
years JeCersou county will be as pop
ulous as Richardson, S&l'ne and Seward
will rival Nemaha and Otoe.
The fellow who promises to "catch
the lark, when the sky falls," will
witness the fruition of his hopes at the
sam period of time when the Omaha
IZepu&tiean and Herald will rejoice to
gether over tb building of Railroads
In Nebraska, from the proceeds of
State Lands, sold to "actual settlers!"
So say I ! If our lands are to be sold
first, and Railroads art only to be btilt
afterward by such aid, the present
generation and the one to come, will
be nnder the sod before Railroads are
built. Let our Legislators take a plain,
sensible and practicable view of this
question, and appropriate the' lands
for railroad purpossa. I do cot, of
courzs, meaa to s-uan&r these lands
by giving them to irresponsible corpo
rations .'kiteing Railroads! Only to
bonailde enterprixes. To such roads
as are most needed, and routes as are
practicable and Trill be speedily and
certainly constructed. Let the Legis
lature nnder such restrictions as will
secure the State frcm Imposition, give
lands give them cow. But says the
objector these Railroad companies
will net use these lands to construct
the road, but will hold on to them for
speculating purposes. The Railroad
Companies if composed cf practical
business men, will g;t all the lands
appropriated to them, into the hands
of "actual settlers" vita Railroads,
long before the Si&ta.jsiH, without

General Grant' Report.
Washington, Nov. SO.
The following is Gen. Grant's re
port In full:
Hd'qes Army of the U. S
Washington D. C, Nov. 26.
ToOen.J,M.Schofield:
' Sec. of War Sir : I have the hon
or to submit the reports of Division,
District and Department Commanders
for the past year. These reports give
a full account of the operations and
services of the army for the year, and
I refer to them for details. I would
earnestly renew the reeommondations
of last .year, that the control of the
Indiana be transferred to the War De
partment. I call special attention to
the recommendation of Gen. Sherman
on this subject. It has ray earnest ap
proval. It Is not necessary that the arguments
in favor of this transfer should be re
peated. ; The necessity for it becomes
stronger and more evident every day.
While the Indian war continues I do
not deem any general legislation- for
the reduction of the army advisable.
The troops on the plains are all needed;
the troops in the Southern States are
still needed, and further reduction can
be made in the way already in use and
now In operation, when it is safe,
namely, by allowing companies to dis
miss by discharges without being
strengthened by recruits, and by stop
ping the appointments of second Lieu
tenants. If it should be deemed advi
sable, the veteran reserve regiment
might be discontinued by absorption
and retirement of the officers and the
discharge of men, without detriment
to the service.
Very respectfully your obd't serv't.
,K-. U. S. Grant,
General. ,
Gen. Mead's Report.
Washington, Nov. 30.
Gen. Mead's annual report states in
detail, the prominent events which
have occurred in his department. He
says during the whole period of my
civil administration, extending over
a space of eight months, there were
tried bv military commission in the
State of Florida and Alabama only 32
persons ; of these but 15 were convic
ted, four of these sentences were disap
proved of, eight othera remitted, two
referred to the President of the United
States and still awaiting action, leav
ing but one person convicted and in
confinement for violation of a civil
law and tried by military commission.
On the cessation of military authority
I deem a refutation of the charges,
that the military power was despoti
cally and arbitrarily exercised wiih
regard to the rights of persons, and
also with those of property unnecessa
ry. It was my study and effort to be
a trusty guard of the rights of individ
uals without regard to any considera
tion but that of justice and law.
Evils of Land Monopoly.
The following just views of the cause
of land monopoly occur in an address
at the recent annual fair of the State
Board of Agriculture of Nebraska, de
delivered by Major H. FY Brooks, of
Rochester, New York, and heartily
endorsed by the actual settlers of Ne
braska: You have now in charge of your
State 800,000 acres of land ; that land
is worth more than all the railroads
you can build In forty years, What
ever you do with it, require that it be
passed at a low price and in limited
quantities into the hands of actual
settlers. Your strong point is cheap
land. Every acre you pass over to
speculators to be held for advanced
price is a clog on your prosperity.
If you would route the speculators,
and offer your lands to actual settlers
under the provisions of the homestead
act, or at ten shilltngs per acre, you
would, within eight or ten years, have
as dense a population as any agricul
tural State In this blessed Union.
God grant our legislators, State and
national wisdom to stop the whole
system of land appropriation for public
and private purposes. Hold every
acre, as a sacred trust from Heaven for
landless whose needs are their title to
it, and who from the proceeds of their
industry can and will build roads and
make every needed improvement in
half the time required under the pres-'
ent system. ' ,

Washington, Nov. 23.
"Poreitra diplomats here express
some aumrise that Reverdy Johnson
should have agreed informally, to
such terms as he has proposed, inere
is no llklihood that Mr. Seward will
consent to the arrangement, and the
administration as a whole is so far as
can be ascertained, more opposed to it
than bewaru niraseir. i iie plan ap
rtears to be to have two American and
two British Commissioners, the two
governments, and not the com mis
sion era, to select an umpire in case the
commisinoners disagree cn anything.

the matter, but it is given cut from
