Gov. Saunders, Dr. F. Renner, W.
D. Blackburn, and ourself undertook
to represent the State of Nebraska in
the Capital Convention last week in
St. Louis, by virtue of credentials re
ceived from Governor Butler of this
State.
The Slates represented were Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ken
turky, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebras
ka, California and Oregon ; besides
which delegates from "Wyoming, Col
orado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah,
Washington and Alaska were admit
ed. The convention was called to order
on Wednesday morning in the Mer
cantile Library Hall, one of the lar
gest in St. Louis, by electing ex-Gov.
Lowe, of Iowa, as temporary Chair
man. The delegations were then wel
comed in speeches by the Mayor and
the President of the Board of Trade
of St. Louis. The
fully organized by
Judge Catron of the
convention was
the election of
Supreme Bench
of Illinois as permanent chairman.
The work of the convention consisted
in rnitnritir nn1 mlrmtinf thfi resolu -
ill l V a 1 0 .
tions to be found 'in this paper, as the
full sense of the Great West thus rep
resented. The convention adjourned
on Friday. .
Wednesday afternoon the delegation
was taken in carriages to every nota
ble place in the west part of the city.
The premises of the American Wine
Company, with its five underground
stories, each filled with wine bottles,
filled and.unfilled ; Shaw's Botanical
Gardens, covering 200 acres of valua
ble lands, and the city reservoirs of
water, were the most attractive
points.
On Thursday a banquet was held at
the Southern Hotel, where a magnifi
cent supper was served rp, at which
speeches were made by many of the
distinguished men present. On Fri
day afternoon a steamboat excursion
was taken from Bissel's Point to the
Jefferon Barracks, a distance of about
thirty, miles. Commencing at , the
Point we passed the rolling mills, the
water works, the woolen mills, the
ferry landing,. North Market street,
depot of the North Missouri R. R.,
the Mound City Hotel, the Malleable
Iron works, the chair and edge tool
factory, the"sbot.towery the lead
works, the saw mills with pine logs
bv the acre, the immense sugar refin
ery, the stove foundry, the bridge
piers, the Southern Hotel, the brew
ry, the typo foundry, the barrel fac
tory, the chair factory, the gas works,
the soap and chandler works, the iron
iron works, the smelting furnas, the
immense wood and lumber yards, the
U. S. Arsenal, and last Jefferson Bar
racks.
The city of St. Louis presents a riv
er front of ten miles, nine of which is
lighted with gas. It has two grand
Boulevards or Avenues circling
arouncHhe city one called the Grand
Avenue, which circles from a point
near the Arsencl around the smost
densely populated portion to Bissel's
Point above. The other, the King's
Highway, is a magnificent Boule
vard running around the city just two
miles west of Grand Avenue. These
streets are each 120 feet wide, and the
last is twenty-five, miles in length.
The city is densely built up from
two to three miles from the river, and
more or less so from two to three miles
further. Just imagine a circle com-
encing at the- mouth of the -Little
Nemaha, running up by Bennet's
mills, George Crow's. James Cole
man's, London, W. G. Glasgow's,
and from thence down Honey.Creek
to the Missouri river, densely built up
with from one to five story buildings,
thronged with people and every man
ner of vehicle, steamboat and rail
road cars, all on the go, and you will
then have an idea of what St. Louis is.
Among her palatial hotels are to be
found the South ten and the Mound
City. The last is probably the most
conveniently located j of any in the
city, at the corner of North Market
and Fourth streets, near the North
Market street depot. Its proprietor,
G. A. Boyd, is a cor too us and affable
gentlemen, and his house is well fur
nished, and his table supplied from
the best of the St. Louis markets.
From this point street cars -run' to
every part or tin; city.
Near the Arsenal and , Jefferson
Barracks the U. S. Government owns
several thousand acres of land, upon
which the people of St. Louis would
like to see the National Capital locat
ed.
Take it all in all, the capital delega
tion were enthusiastically received
and magnificently treated by the good
people of St. Louis, prominent among
whom were Mr. Shryock, President
of the Board of Trade, and Congress
man Hogan.

Cheap Postage.
That no party ever m power were
more'the friend of the poor man, and
especially the poor foreigner, is be
yond question, shown by the effort of
the present Republican , admiuistra-
ion to reduce the rates of postage be
tween this aud foreign countries.
The postage between the United
States and Great Britian reduced in
the past year from twenty-four to
twelve cents, is to le reduced to six
cents ; aud Postmaster General Cress
well proposes with the consent of the
British Government to reduce it two
cents; .and of course other foreign
countries in proportion. By the many
poor who have left their loved rela
tives this will be appreciated.
Gen.
W. Baurner of the 1st Ne
braska, died in Omaha this yeek.
The Capitol Convention held last
w eek in St. Louis was a grand suc
cess. Most of the Western, and a few
or the Southern and Eastern State
and the Territories," had full delega
tions present. -
Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, was
the only dissenting delegate present.
He, in a short speech before the con
vention, expressed himself as being
immovably opposed to the removal of
the National Capitol. Finding but
iittle or no sympathy from others, lie
quieted down and made no further
eflbrt in opposition to the work; -
The ''resolutions" were reported in
the morning of the second day, and
red as a whole, and afterwards consid
ered seriatim. Each section was read
several times, amendments offered so
as to conform them to the exact truth.
Not one Word for bunkum ; but the
spirit manifested by all was to express
the facts in the fewest possible, direct
words. All our readers should rend
carefully the resolutions : herewith
printed. All disposition to work upon
the prejudices of. any locality, to find
fault with the Fast, North, South or
! West, was Dromntlv rebuked. The
I removal wa3 not urged on the ground
of its favoring an particular locality,
but as a matter of justice and right to
the great majority of the American
people. ' It was admitted that under
all theconsiderations at the time the
Capital was wisely located at Wash
ington.' Then it was scarcely thought
that civilization could work its way
far west of the Aleghaneys. The pop
ulationthenwas only found border
ing the Atlantic, and Washington,
seventy miles up the Potomac, was
deemed very extravagantly far inland,
and the journey to it a dread from the
most favorable direction, of approach,
so much so that . Congress continued
for ten years after its location to hold
its sessions in :Philadelphia. The lo
cation of the National Capital now at
Ft. Kearney, in Nebraska, would not
be thought as inconvenient and im
politic as our fathers, thought Wash
ington was at first. Since then. times
have changed, ; What then was con
considered hopelessly the incontesti
blc habitation'ofthe'red'man and his
hunting grouhds,drc:now'solcly under
Anglo Saxon control and husbandry
The pioneer has already, reached'the
Pacific, and his humble abode is to be
found upon every hill top and valley
verging upon the Great Rocky and
Cordileras range. No one now doubts
but the vast domainsof the nationa
government areeventually to be under
the plough share, and that railroad,1
telegraphs, steamboats,printing press
cs, schools, churches,, towns, and cit
ies, with their , commerce and man
ufactories, are soon to spread civiliza
tion Into the remotest corners of our
vast domains. These all bring in their
train new wants, desires and policies
not thought of a century ago. This
ultramontane and materialistic age
may respect old associations and the
decrees of the Fathers of the Repub
lic, but they will hot be controled by
their memories when at the expeu
of convenience, justice, and the press
ing wants of the nation.
' The national capital must, therefore,
in time approach the great Missouri
valley. -The reasons which demand
it are such as to appeal to the patriot
ism and sense of justice of every por
tion of our common country, and there
can be but one result. The capital of
the nation must come. The united
interests of the nation will demand it,
and its fiat must beobeyed. .Local
interests and individual prejudices
may for a time block the wheels of
fate, but the accumulating wants of
this growing and progressing country
will soon sweap away all obsticles,
and the will of the people will in the
not far distant future decree a reloca
tion of the national capital in the
great Mississippi Valley. Of this we
have not a shaddow of a doubt
Mark well the future.
PcstofTice at EIca trice Robbed.
We learn through R. F. Barrett,
Land and Real Estate Agent, of tins
city, just returned from Beatrice, that
the Postoffice at that place was robbed
of about $600 last Monday night; $100
in postage stamps, $100 in revenue
stamps, and the balance riflecj, rpm
letters in the office. -The. thief got in
by the back-window. No clue had
been got as to the thief or thieves up
to the leaving of the stage which con
veyed Mr. Barrett in. The country
in the interior is improving fast.
"And Still They Come." , ,
Gentry county has by more than a
two-third majority voted $150,000 to
the Quincy, Brownville and Pacific
Railroad. The country east of this
point as well as west of it are alive to
the great benefit of the road, and as
soon as it touches the Missouri river at
this point, Nebraska will shove it
aloftg to a connection with the Pa
cific Railroad.'
Mr. L. Allgewahr of Arago has
bought about three thousand hogs for
packing at that point this season, and
is still buying. We need in Brown
ville a strong firm to transact a busi
ness of this kind. The merchants of

house would bring. The' city of
Brownville needs the impetus that a
well sustained pork packing house
would give to all branches of trade.
Will the citizens interested see that
some one or more are prepared to pay.

all the pork for sale in Southern Ne

circulars are issued and sent out to

The Omaha Republican and the
State Journal are calling for an extra
session or" the Legislature for local
reasons. ' One wants the State to cede
its sovereignty to a parcel of land in
Omaha'to the United States for a post
office site, and the other wants the
penitentiary located at Lincoln. As
a further consideration they urge the
adoption of the XVth amendment to
the federal constitution. While we
may favor all these measures, still we
fail to find in them matters of "press
ing importance,' guch as will warrant
the expense of an extra session.

Democratic victory, yet he is striving
to get the Republicans who voted and
sustained the ticket to come forth and
worship him as the sovercrgn ; the
ruler; the dictator; to reverence him
as the Jews did the Sanhedren. Now
we do not propose that any 01 our
party who run upon that ticket wil
elope at the sound of his trumpet. We
claim that the ticket was elected bv
publican force, and propose to sus-
tain our suare or me iieKei on mat
basis, When the ticket was nomina
ted it was not to be a Democratic
ticket ; yet, that egotistical, egregious,
pusilanimous, comes out now and
wants the Republican party to come
and Like the oath of allegience to sus
tain him and his fiendish designs
And now, in. consideration of all that
has been said upon this subject by
that rebel sheet, ; we do not want one
of our party to do "homage to that
hybrid, mongrel, fungus mass. We
want them ail to serve, -but not to
serve upon that Democratic platform
instituted by Calhoun alone. It is
true that he must have something to
write about and somebody to abuse,
for it is second nature to abuse and
misrepresent. If I was to fill a phre
nological chart for he genlelman, I
would say he bad abusiveness five,
adhesivness to false doctrine five, miss-
representativeness five, devotedness
(to rebeldom) five, gentelmanness
three, respect to others feelings three
It appears to be the privilege of
editors to say what they please in
times cf political excitement, but we
would advise for parties sake to say as
mue possible. 1 would say to the
gentleman elect, serve by all means.
despite of Calhoun's one-horse power.
