IL V. FURNAS, Editor. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1870. The Editor has been absent for a week past, returning Just as the paper goes to press. This will serve as an apology for the non-appearance of the uual amount of editorial natter, and also for non-attention to many communications to him, editorial and otherwise. Extra Session of the Legislative. The proclamation convening the Legislature of Nebraska in extra Ses sion has been issued by the Governor, but has not reached us In official form as we go to press. The Legislature will tncet on the I7th day of this month. Of the exact provisions of the proclamation, we are not posted. The Governor Informed us however, that they would be as few as possible, and the Legislature not held together a minute longer than was actually accessary to meet emergencies. o w Railroads In Nebraska. ", During the past week Gov. Butler end eult have been extensively en gaged In making excursions over and examining new Railroads in Nebras ka. The Omaha and North-western, Omaha and South-western, the Bur lington and Missouri road, from Platts c mouth, and Midland Pacific from Ne braska City. Judging from the press of these points, the roads have given "entire satisfaction ; in fact, have pass ,ed muster. They will undoubtedly be Inside the land bill and receive the just reward for the energy of their constructor. Omaha, Plattsmouth and Nebraska City have labored faith fully and persistently, early and late, and will this season receive their re ward In the prosperity and thrift that Is a sure follower in the wake of railroad Improvements. Vie learn that the Donation Parti te Rev. L. F. Britt, of the M. E. Church of London, Jan. 20th, was a very pleasant affuir, and one to be long remembered by all who partici pated. A good supper was set out in the school house, loaded with fhe best the generous churchmen of that sec tion could provide; after enjoying . which, the assemblage adjourned to the church. Mrs. A. II. Lilian then c came forward, and with a short ad dress coined from the eloquence of a good heart filled with love to all do nated a splendid quilt ; Mrs. L. F. Uritt responded. Ellas Randall then came forward and presented an over coat to the Pastor with a few remarks, which a purse containing $176 was "placed In the hands of Rev. L. F. Britt a substantial and merited token of the love of the" flock for their able and eloquent shepherd. Rev. Mr. Jiritt Is certainly endearing himself to the good people of London and vicin ity; and from the above and other good works it has been our pleasure to record of him, of late, is doing a mas- ' work in the vineyard of the Lord. pM o . Ole Bull and his son Alexander Ole Bull, arrived in Omaha on the morn ing of Feb. 3d, en rotue for San Fran cisco, and put up at the Metrepolitan Hotel. He left the same day on the Pullman Hotel train, for San Francis co. A number of his countrymen Visited him at the Hotel, and escorted him to the U. P. Depot. t Washington, D. C, Feb. 4, 1870. Dear Sir: You ask me about the 1rtrlnfft push o.rf T rpulv lrlrflv X J J President Grant superintended the adoption of her Constitution, and called on us to admit her at once, as she had done every thing required by Congress. The Senate Committee on Judiciary reported such a Bill without any additional conditions, as she had ratified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments of the Constitution of theU. S., which was our final demand. The House of Representatives passed a Bill without any additional condi c lions, and the Senate took it up for action. Many amendments were pro posed, and I, with about twenty oth- them ; but when the question came - shall the Bill pass as amended we voted "I." But just then Mr. Sum mer and Gen. Thayer refused to vote fox the amended Bill. The House finally passed the Bill as amended ; ana so x am on me recoru ior ine law, and am denounced by somebody in the Omaha Republican as misrepre senting Nebraska. Gen. Grant has 6lgned the act Virginia is admitted. Let the ass bray. Very truly, T. W. TlPTYlV The above letter was presented for ' publication by a friend of Mr. Tipton. ' Just as our paper goes Tb press we are In receipt of a more extended and de tailed letter from Senator Tipton, which will appear in our next issue. En. Loxdqx, Neb., Feb. 7, 1870. Rev. L. F. Britt. of London, has ' Jutt closed a protracted meeting at the Falrriew Church, which resulted in thirty-two conversions and twenty eight accessions to the church. The church is greatly revived and blessed, and greatly encouraged to go on. The meeting at London and Falrview re sulted in thirty-seven accessions to the church. The Pastor has been working and preaching incessantly for the last five weeks. He will rest a veeek and then commence a protracted meeting at Honey Creek. God bless the church in her membership, and . may the arm of flesh be made instru mental in bringing many to Christ. "A new paper, to be called the Timet, li soon to be started at Ashland. During the past week two teams and wagons loaded with railroad Iron drop ped through the lea at Rulo and were lost. A fine team worth $C00 was lost through the ice on the Platte river be low Fremont last Thursday. Two teams went through the ice at Kattsniouth last Saturday one re mxinvd through. MEETING OF THE BOAKD OF DI RECTORS Q. 31. & P. B. R. WORK TO "SIOYE OX I" Road to be Built from Brownrille to Phelps by October 1870. Being fully aware of the great Inter est the readers of the Advertiser feel in all matters touching the work and progress of the Q., M. & P. R. R. en terprise, I send you a few lines upon that subject. The regular quarterly meeting was held in Quincy February 2d, at which I was present. There was a full representation. All the members with one exception were present. There was an earnest feeling pervading the action of the Board to consider the ways and means for com mencing and crowding forward the work without any delay. The preliminary surveys were fin ished in December, and the plats and field uotcs arc completed and the esti mates on each lino made and were presented for the consideration of the Board. The first division of eight miles is permanently located from Quincy west. The contract for grading that Is now let, to be finished before the high water rise this spring. The engineer has been ordered at the request of citizens who bind them selves to pay the expense thereof, to survey a third line from the end of this eight miles to Edina. This will be done this month, at which time the Board la resolved to adopt one of the three lines and put the same under contract so far as Edina, a distance of forty miles from Quincy. The result of the vote in Brownville for $60,000 in Bonds to the B., Ft. K. & P. R. R. was announced, and the understanding of our people relative to the same was fully set forth by the President, Mr. Savage, by theSecreta ry, Col. King and by myself. After due consideration, the Presi dent was appointed a committee to arrange with the officers of the B., Ft. K. & P. Co. with power to let the con tract for building that part of the Q M. & P. R. R. laying between Phelps and the Missouri river in Mo. ; to be completed before the first of October next, and to rent the same to the St. Joe and Council Bluffs R. R. Co. until such time as the road should be finish ed from Quincy to Phelps. The annual election of a new Board of Directors will be held in Quincy on the first day of March. There will not be any further new business considered and decided upon until after the election of officers, and nothing can be predicted of the future action of the company with much certainty until it is known who are to compose the Board. The present officers fully compre hend tin situation and the necessity of crowding all the force upon the grading of the whole line that the means at its disposal will command, and will do it ; and the feeling among the stockholders is to place the most able and energetic in command, so that we are fully convinced that the company will be a3 well officered Jn the future as it has been in the past. The company have a big enterprise before them. They are aware that the community to be benefited by the completion of this line are impatient for action now prompt and energetic and boldly continued until the last spike is driven at Ft. Kearney and they are determined to go into the field prompted by the same spirit. Mr. Editor, it is necessary for me to say that I have full faith in the com pany, in the road and in the prospect of decisive action. Let patience have her perfect work until the cars are whistling through our streets west ward bound. In the meantime, cease not to labor iuccssantly for the com pany's good. Jarvis S. Church. Quincy, III., Feb. 7. The Railroad will be built from Brownville to Tecumseh within the present year. If that is so, Johnson county will aid in the construction of the road to the amount of $100,000. Tecumseh Chieftain. Correct, Brother Falrbrother, we are coming for that $100,000 during the present year; as we have now fi nancially a,good start, and are offered still more substantial aid between this and your city. The iron horse musi snort for the West from Brownville within a twelve month. How pleas ant it will be then to "all aboard for Tecumseh, Beatrice, Fort Kearney and San Francisco." Southern Nebraska and Northern Kan sas Railroad. The Nemaha Valley Journal, Feb. 3d, published at Falls City, Richard son county, gives the following rela atlve to the organization of a compa ny to build the above road : On Tuesday last, at 2 o'clock p. ra., articles of incorporation were reported and signed by the following persons as incorporators of the "Southern Ne braska and Northern Kansas Railroad Compauy," to-wit: D. Reavis, J. Cameron, D. R. Holt, C. C. Smith, C. B. Scott, J. D. Gill man, E. E. Cunningham, B. C. Zum brunn, Wilison M. Maddox, Edwin S. Towle, A. Shoenheit, Frank Bar rett. L. Van Deusen, W. H. Mann, S. A. Fulton and M. A. Frank. The articles were immediately ac knowledged and sent to Lincoln to be placed on file in the Secretary's office. The points or termini of said road are in the South at a point on the Kansas line four miles South of Falls City, and Nebraska City on the North, passing in a northerly course through Richardson, Nemaha and .Otoe coun ties, to Nebraska City passing at or near Falls City to Elmore, Nemaha City, Brownville," Peru and Nebraska City. This will give a direct commu nication from Nebraska City to St. Joseph, Mo., upon the west side of the Missouri river, forty miles being already completed. The amount of capital stock is fixed at $500,000, subject to be increased to $1,500,000 by vote of the Directors. Books of subscription were immedi ately opened, and the pre-requisite of ten percent, of the capital stock was subscribed in a few hours. Books are still open, and we call upon all public spirited men to come forward and leave their autographs with the com mittee. Plattsmouth is having Its bawdy house shooting affrays In connection with railroad prosperity. RAILROAD CONTENTION. A Rousing: Mass Sleeting at MarjTllle. Propositions to Snbscribe Stock. ' From Major R. K. Davis, who left Maryville on the morning of the 7th, we learn that an enthusiastic Railroad Convention was held in that city on Saturday last, which was very gener ally attended by the citizens of Nod away county. Resolutions were unan imously adopted, asking the County Court to 'submit to a vote of the peo ple propositions to subscribe $100,000 to the capital stock of the Quincy, Missouri and Pacific Railroad; $100,000 to the Ceil licothe and Omaha Railroad, and $75,000 to the Nodaway Valley Railroad. The first two subscripions are conditioned upon the roads run ning through Mary ville. $?. Joe Dai ly Union. THE "WAR IN CUBA. A Great Victory For the Tntriot Army. New York, Feb. 4. The details of the important battle of Mina de Juan Rodiegres, between Jordoti and Puel lo, on New Year's day, are received. According to the intelligence gather ed, purely from American and Spanish sources, the victory of the Cubans was complete and decisive. The bat tle was fought at the point above named on one of the approaches to Guarymaro, the Cuban seat of Govern ment. It lasted all day and ended with the retreat of Puello after a loss of from 1,300 to 1.G00 in killed, woun ded and prisoners. The Cubans pur sued and harassed the flying columns of the enemy until the latter reached Arroga Hondo, where Puello en trenched himself and stood a siege of fifteen days, sufferinggreat privations, killing horses and mules for food. The approach of the Spanish colum under General Goyenche induced the Cu bans to raise the seige, and Puello es caped with the remnants of his army to the small seaport of Boga, where the Spanish vessels moved it to Ncu vitas. A poster! pt adds a rumor that Gen. Puello has been seized by the enraged Spanish volunteers in Neuvitas, and is a captive in their hands. Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. The President has nominated ns As sociate Justices of the Supreme Court, Hon. Joseph P. Brediey and Judge William Strong. Both gentlemen are eminently fitted for the responsible position for which they have been se lected. Mr. Brad el y is one of the oldest and most learned legal gentlemen of the New Jersey bar, and will, we feel cer tain, reflect honor upon himself and upon his Stale in the discharge of his new duties. Judge Strong is a native of Somers, in Pennsylvania, and graduated at Yale College in 1S2S. While studying law he was a teacher and assistant ed itor of a country paper in Connecticut. In 1S30 he commenced practice at Reading, Berks county, Pennsylva nia, where he was very successful at the bar. In 184(3 he was e.ec ted to the lower house of Congress, serving four years, when he declined a re-election. In 1857 he was elected Judge of the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania, a place that he fiiled with great credit until 1SG8, when he retired and resumed his practice at the bar. Originally a Democrat, Judge Strong has been a Republican since the the war broke out. PUBLIC LANDS IN NEBRASKA. On the 24th inst. Hon. John Taffe, M. C. from this State, introduced a bill in Congress (H. R. No. 9-53) to prohibit the sale of public lands of the United States in Nebraska, except to actual settlers ; which was read a first and second time and referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Omaha has only developed three new lines of railroad during the past week. She'll build 'em too, if she takes a notion. . A Practical Application of the Scriptures. Nicholas Wain, though a regular Quaker preacher, was a great wag, and many are the good things said by him still current in certain Philadelphia circles. He was once traveling on horseback in the interior of Pennsylvania in com pany with two Methodist preachers. They discussed the points of differ ence in their respective sects, until they arrived at the inn where they were to put up for the night. At supper, Wain was seated between the two Methodists, and before them was placed a. pla.c containing two trout. Each' of the circuit-riders placed his fork in a fish and trans ferred it to his plate, after which each shut his eyes and said an audible grace before meat. The Quaker availed himself of the opportunity to transfer both of the trout to his own plate, merely remarking, when the others opened their eyes, "Your re ligion teaches you to pray, but mine teaches me both to watch and pray." From Our Monthly Gossip, in the November number of Lipplucott's Magazine. Howard Glyndox, writing of Bayard Taylor 8 home at Kennett Hquare. iennsyi vanla, says : "Unyanl Taylor aim out lives In his library. He sits at a long desk-table, covered with books, papers and manuscripts, and writes, writes, writes all day, varying the occupation from lime to time by rending, and very often.smoklngas he reads or writes; but the clears or his BinoKinz are 01 Mien an ctherial sort that you wouldn't know he was smoking one if you didn't happen to see It between his lips. The cnatr in wnicn ne sus is covered over with chimeras in tapestry. by fingers which are as deft with the pen as with the needle. Tfley are the same that translated "The Story of Kennett' into Ger man. People will think of her by-and-bye, when thev read the 'Marie' lntercarved with that of 'llayard' over the free portals of Ce- darcroft, long arter nest ana Hostess pnaii have missed awav from the mansion which the united head and heart of these two have rendered happy and harmonious m Us ap pointments." . . m The 'Wife. It is astonishing to ee how well a man may live on a small Income, who has a handy and industrious wife. Some men live and make a far better appearance on six or elcttt dollars a week, than others do on fifteen or eighteen dollars. The man does his Dart well, but his wife is good foi nothing. Hhe will even upbraid her husband for not living in as good style ns his nelgh- lKr, while the fault Is entirely her own His neighbor has a neat, capable and Indus. trious wife, and makes the difference. His wife, on the other hand, is a whirlpool, into which a great many silver cups might be thrown, and the appearance of the water would remain unchanged. No Nicholas, the diver. Is there to restore the wasted treasure, It is only an insult to talk to her husband about love and devotion. An exchange says : We can always tell what sort of a woman a man mar ries by the way he treats the printer, if he gets a common wife he forgets the printer altogether. If he gets a tolerable good wife he will send in a notice of the marriage. If he gets a very pood one, he will send the prin ter a slice of cake accompanying the notice. If he gets an extra pood one, he will send a greenback with the no tice. And if he pets a glorious, an gelic creature All affection and good ness he is sure to send the printer a gold or silver dollar with the notice of his happiness. No good wife allows her husband to owe for his paper, and If their worst half does not attend to thesethings.it is a clear case of de ception ; for the man that won't pay for his paper will deceive his wife, and we have our opinion of such. Leprosy is not uncommon in the city of Mexico, and the ex-convent of Chcrubusco has been converted into a hospital for the afflicted. Telegraphic Summary. Gold Discovered In Clark County, III. Terke Haute, Ind., Feb. 4. The most intense excitement prevail In Clark county, 111., in consequence of the discovery of gold on Big Creek, about 20 miles from this city.

About two hundred lodges have arrived from the Missouri Res ervation, aud they are now encamped on the Little Powder River. Roman Nose, Red Cloud and several others of the most prominent Sioux chiefs, with their tribes, are also encamped there, in all 600 or 700 lodges.

The resolution appointing such a committee was adopted in the Senate, the Republicans voting for it, and the Democrats against it. The House, however, refused to concur in the Resolution, and it is now general ly conceded by the Democrcts, that their object in making these charges have failed, their falsity is admitted. The two Houses, by joint resolution, took a recess until Monday, the 14th inst., when they will re-assemble and go into an election of a United States Senator. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 3. At the Radical Caucus last night the question of the expediency of submit ting to the people the Amendment to the constitution enfranchising all those now deprived of suffrage, with out respect to race or color, was dis cussed and carried by nearly two thirds vote.
