Butler will make an attempt to have the Tenure of Office Law re pealed. mm m The people in the vesfcrrr pnrt of this county are circulating petitions asking the Legislature to- pass a gener al herd law. They wish some protec tion to their crops from the depreda tion cf caltl while their hedge is growing. m t m Jakvis S".

The Dubuque Weckty Times of last week gives an Interesting account of the passage of the first train of cars over the Railroad bridge just comple ted across the Mississippi river at thai point. Trains now pass regularly on the bridge. This makes the third bridge spanning the Mississippi one at Clinton, one at Quincy, and this one at Dubuque. So much for north ern energy and enterprise. The Winter Term of the County Court was held at the Clerk's Office last Monday, Tuesday ajad "Wednes day. Among a multitude of lesser business the Court raada provisions for becaming a purchaser of the Ne maha Bridge and making a free bridge of it. A petition for a county road running north and south through the county was received and a Commis fiioner appointed. A full .Board was present, and business was very ably and expeditiously traceacteeF. A tremendious effort is being made by Canada, to induce Congress to re new the reciprocity treaty with that country, before Grant's inauguration, and a horde of lobbyists are working for it. The United States have had tx much of it already. As an ex change pertinently remarks: "If Can ada wants free trade with the United States let her become a member of the Union. So long as it can have all the benefits of membership without per forming its duties, it will be sure not to become one." A resolution has been introduced in Congress enquiring into the Postmas ter General's conduct in several trans actions in mail contracts. The charges are letting of the overland mail con tract at $r,700,000 to Well, Fargo & Co., when- Carlton Spudds offered to carry it for $ 350,000 ; and a contract for $00,000 over a route in Arizona which does not exist ; also, the contract with the Baltimore and Havana steamship line which performs $100 worth of ser vice for which it is paid $1000. To Post Masters. Mioses liiKs ii.sq. oi Juon" urancn i was in our office recently and inform ed us that the post master at Table Bock charged postage on the Adver tiser sent to subscribers living in thi3 county who receive their mail regular ly at that office, doubtless under the ; apprehension that it was hi duty to do so. We wish to refer him and others who may not understand fully the law in the case to the book issued by the Post Master General entitled "The Fostal Laws and Regulations publish ed by authority" for the year 1SG. See page S3 section 228 of Regulations which reads as follows: "Sec. 228. Bonafidc subscribers to weekly newspapers can- receive the same free of postage if they reside in the county in which the paper is prin ted and published even if the ol"ce to which the paper is sent is without the county provided it is the office at which tuey regularly receive their matter-" We are sure that the Post Master at Table Rock or any post master near the borders of our county would not knowingly violate tiio law or the reg ulations of the - Post Master General made In pursuance thereto if they were aware of it. We merely call their at tention to the matter so that they need not err through ignorance longer- Tlie Legislature Convenes to-day. The member 'from this county, Messrs. M--!i, Crow, Stinsman, Church and .-'iook, lea for Lincoln last Mund.iy. Much 13 expected from thi Session by the people, and from live general charac ter of the members elect we believe disappointment will not be its fruition. Many of our most needful laws have been tortured into a semplance of ac tion, and need entire remodling. The disposition of the Public Lands and the Scnatorship come up, yet in the melee we ask that the country press receive a moments attention. Either let thii Legislature take away the small morsel of patronage we now get or give us something worthy of our forxmendation. Let the public read your laws through the local papers; do away with the monopoly of having all county blanks done at one office, spend the money in the community that pays it; abolish itenerant tax-collectors; erace that dead letter on. our statute books prescribing printer's fees. In ether word3 foster your home prcse, your home friend, the light of the State and the foster-parent of civ ilization, progress, industry, morality, nro and r.rt. Se'.o lt; pTntkmn ! State Items. A new and fatal disease ha3 broken out among the cattle in Dodge county, Neb., says the Fremont lYibunc. No sign of disease is noticeable until a few moments before the death, when the limbs paralyzed, the animals fall and die. A iost morlum examination has disclosed, as the only sign of disease, enlargement of the heart. Nebraska City assesses a tax of 27J mills on the dollar. Stone coal is sel ling at Tecumseh at 22cts. per bushel. A daily line of coaches is to be run from Omaha to Lincoln. The Fremont Tribune says work on the Sioux City and -Paciflic R.

A case of colored infidelity caused a fair Omaha wench to take a dose of arsenic to cure her broken lteart; but a hard hearted Doctor introduced a stomach pump to the rescue, and she was saved.' A mastodon's tooth was found in a stone quarry near Beatrice a few days since says the Hcenrd. . v A man was found murdered at North riatt last fall, name unknown. John Burly was shortly after arrested on suspicion, and was indicted by the grand jury. His trial commenced on the 2Sth in Fremont county, and re sulted in his sentence to bo hung at Fremont on the Cth of February. Old Settlers Attention.

An exchange says that some Lon don artidans have consulted Reverdy Johnson, about 'founding a colony in Nebraska, and that Mr. Johnson en couraged the idea. This we hope is correct, for Nebraska has room for thousands upon thousands in every department of life, and in agriculture especially millions of acres of good lands are waiting tillage to yield wealth and affluancc to the hus bandman. South Platte invites them, and guarantees them success. Frozen. We learn that a man by the name of Crearby, living not far from Weeping uater I alls, in Cass County, a bachelor, was found in his house by his neighbors a week or two ago, with his feet badly frozen so as to render am putation necessary. He had no stove in his house, and but very little clothing. He had dug a hole in the ground under the floor in which he slept, but jack frost found him and bit him. Ho had plenty of wheat, and waiting for prices to rise. What economy. rialtsmouth Herald. Franklin Wells late State Sap-crin-tendent of Public Instruction in Iowa, has recently died.

Jan. 2. 1SC9. i Four miners who had but recently left Montana to return to. trie fctates and had selected the banks of the Mis souri as the line of their route, in con sequence or Having a larjre tram, fui freighted, besides a large amount of mineral, were attacked by a band, of Indians, who after a severe fkrht sue ceeded in killing all the men and enp- tunng tne entire tram. The fight took place near Fort reck, and the noise attracted the attention of the garrison. Anticipating some trouble, the com maudant of the Fort immediately or dered out all the available force who at la?t accounts, were in hot pursuit ox tne maians, witn every probability in favor of retaking the train and in flicting considerable punishment on the Indians. -The names of the men killed were McGregor,' Thomas. Steve and Saber, Their bodies were horriblj' mutilated, and everything cf value taken off. A Fort Fred Steele correspondent of me ineyenne Argus writes under date or tlie3Utn of December, tluit he had just ascertained from a gentleman who arrived there a few days before from Medicine Bow station, U. P. R. R., 48 miles east of the Fort, that on the Z:d of last month the Indians killed and scalped six white men near the above named station. These men were, at the time they were murdered employed by the U. P. It. R. Co. The Denver Xcirs says the Indians are again hovering all around the Col orado frontiers east and north. A number of petty depredations are re ported, and one or two of considerable magnitude. A quantity of stock has been driven away from the Caehe-a-la roudre country. A hunting party that arrived from the buffalo ranire on the 20th ult. reports that a band of In dians passed north near them, driving over a tnousand Uorses. borne ot wynuoop's "iriendiy" Indians, no doubt. Black Hawk, Col., Jan. 4.1SG0 There is intense excitement here over the discovery of a new lode. tioid ingots can be seen with the na ked eye, scattered through the quartz It prospects richer than any yet dis covered. The Herald says there arc rumors at ri. josepu mat, a very severe battle lias been lougnt on the Smokv Hill route, between our troops and the In dians, i ne great warrior-chief, Little ivaven, was captured, and a larire number of braves and Indians were killed. The routing of the Indians was most thorough and complete; and this battle lias undoubtedly quieted tne Indian question, and settled it, to gether with the most of the Indians, for all future time. si irn a uencrai cuerman is. in receipt or a letter from General Sheridan, dated rortuobb, Indian Territory, Decern ber 19, 1SC8, in which he reports his arrival at that post on the day previ ous, with the command of General Custer, comprising the 7th cavalry and ten companies of the 19th Kansas in all about fifteen hundred men. General Sheridan left Camp Supply on the 8th, and traveled in a souther ly direction across the main Canadi an, striking the Washita about eight miles south of General Custer's battle ground, distant from Fort Cobb one hundred and thirteen miles. He spent a day on the battle ground, and found the bodies of Major Elliott and sixteen soldiers who had been killed; also the bodies of Mrs. Binn and child. Mrs. B. had been shot through the forhead, and the child was killed by its head being dashed against a tree. All the Indians had bwn encamped along the Washita for about ten miles of its length. Thev had abandoned their camps and lied in the utmost dismay, leaving their cooking utensils, lodge polls and provisions, when Gen. Sheridan's force approached. Gener al S. followed the trail of the Indians from General Custer's battle crround. down the Washita for a distance of 7G miles, when he came near the camp of the Kiowas-, who met him with a letter from General Hazen, declaring them to be friendly: he required them to accompany him to Fort Cobb, and discovered while they were traveling towards this place, that they were send ing their families off to the Witchita mountains. Suspecting that they were attempt ing to deceive him, he took Lione Wolf and Satanta and notified them that he would hold them a3 hostages: and if the Kiowas, did not all come in to lort Cobb hang them. General Sheridan says: "That now the Indians begin to realize, fof the first time, that winter will not compel us to make a truce with them. These Indian the Kiowas have been en gaged in war all the time, and have been playing fast and loose, 'lhey have attempted to browbeat General Hazen since he came here to h t. Cobb, but I will take the starch out of them before I leave them. The Cheyennes, Arrapahoes and one band of the Com anches, with fifty lodges of the Kio was, are now at the western base of icthita mountains." After consultation with Gen. Hazen, Gen. Sheridan proposes, when the Ki owas come in to punish those who are known to have been concerned in per sonal acts of murder. He proposes to send Black Kettle's sister out to the Chevennes and Arrapahoes, and com mand them to come in, and submit to like treatment. If they do not come in, he .proposes to carry the war on against them immediately in the neighborhood of the Witchita moun tains. He will then leave with Gen. Hazen a sufficient force to enable him to control the Indians who are now at Fort Cobb, and such others as may come in there. During General Sheridan's march from Camp Supply the snow and wdathcr was very severe, but the health of his command was very good. Only two men of the 7th Cavalry were sick, and six of the 19th Kansas. The horses suffered more than the men, but there was abundant supply of good grass about Fort Cobb, and a reasona ble amount of corn. The men used the shelter tents, which, at this season of the year, are all they need, and they prefer them to any other. In a private letter to Gen. Sherman, dated one day later, General Sheridan states that the Kiowas are coming in to Fort Cobb; that the Chayennes have been very humble since their punish ment by General Custer; and he has no doubt that the Arrapahoes will come in, surrender, and abide by his terms and conditions, after which he has no fear that they will renew their hostile conduct. Our western exchanges are full of accounts of depredations committed by prowling bands of Indians, and all look with considerable hope to the movements of Sheridan. He is cer tainly fighting them at a time and season during which they have heretofore been permitted to commit depredations at pleasure and recuper ate fora summer campaign. A most dangerous counterfeit $o treasury note is in circulation.. The easiest mode of detection is by the green ornamental engraving length wise, which in the counterfeit is of a paler color, and consequently has a brighter look than the dark green of the original. Seen under the micro scope, the engraving of the counter feit is coarser than the original, and there are some misplacements or omis sions, but to the naked eye it presents a genuine appearance. Cuba is making. a bold, strike for freedom; and talking of both anexa- tion to Mexico and the United States.
