Cnuncir has kindly consented to take charge of the Editorial Department for the time. mm m Organization of tlio Eroirnville 1'ort . " Kearney & Paciilc R. R. Co. The Board of Directors of the Brownville, Fort Kearney & Pacific R. R. Co., met on Monday evening last. All the memhers present. The following officers was elected. ; H. C. Lett, President, Iiia Moore, Vice President, , Jno. L. Carson, Treasurer, R. "W. Fuknas, Secretary, . . E. "W. Thomas, Solicitor, R. W. Furnas, Jno. L. Carson and H. C.

It was ordered by a vote of the Board that the ten per cent, on stock, due at time of subscribing be called for immediately. Also that five per cent, additional be levied on stock, and required to be paid in thirty days. The President wa3 authorized to correspond and confer in regard to se curing the services of a competent Engineer. The following resolution was pass ed by the Board : Resolved, That the Board hereby assent to the agreement heretofore made between parties, viz : That Ten Thousand dollars of Brownville City Stock, shall be at the disposal of the Q. M. & P. R. R., by that company releasing the individual stockholders of Nebraska, in said Q. M. & P. R. R. in that amount. The Board is disposed to "push things." It now remains for the stockholders to say whether they will do so or not. " ' We had a Pressing invitation to at- tend. the closing exercises of the select school of London, on Friday evening but owing to other duties could not be present. We have frequently heard of the high character and good results of this school, and were prepared to hear of the general satisfaction ren dered by the closing exercises. Prof. McGrew and Pierson are live, ener getic men, and do not suffer matters to die out, when under their control. The church was filled full on Friday evening. The patrons of the School being nearly all present to witness the performances of their children, which consisted of music, recitations, decla mations, dialogues, and the reading of compositions, and a paper closing with a valadictory fromProf. McGrew. The good people of London highly appreciate the services of their teach ers, andjiave the good sense to show their appreciation by their presence frequently during term time. "We are truly glad to hear so good a report from the London School The Democrat alleges that every colored voter in this city voted against the Republican Ticket at our late city election, whether or no upon the principles so succinctly set forth by the World, the leading organ of De mocracy, in New York City, our co temporary saith not. Hear what the World has to tfay upon the subject which, to say the least, is not very complimentary to those who vote the regular Simon Pure Democrat Ticket. "The Democratic party which has p. ways had greater success than Its opponents, In managing the votes of the Ignorant classes may easily by some sacrifice of prejudice frustrate the design of the Republicans, in conferring universal suffrage upon the ne groes. A little electioneering, activity and adroitness on our side will show the Republi cans that they have 'beaten the buBh for us to catch the bird. " "Vi admit that this "come up to the rack, fodder or no fodder" policy will holdgood from aDemocraticstandpoinC as our cotemporary, of last week, boastfully alleges, and doubtless for this reason his party opposes the Freedman's Bureau, as it proposes to educate the late slaves. Tlio Fifteenth Amendment Some of the "highly flavored," "sweet scented," "conservatives," ex clusively "white men's government" men, threaten to quit voting because the negroes now all vote! Sol. Mie I,er, of the White Cloud Chief, says of such fellows : "W have not heard of any who have threatened to quit eating and sleeping, chew ing tobacco or drinking whisky, because ne groes do sach things. It will not pay them to cut off" their legs because negroes have leg. Their refusing to vote will spite nobody half so much as themselves; and we predict that they will soon get bravely over such a fool ish notion, and be as keen to vote ns ever be fore. We guess the negroes will vote pretty much as white men do. Some will perform the act Juillcloasly and undcrstnndinirlv. while others will shyster and dicker, and let spite or Interest govern them. In short, all the little trlclcs will continue to be carried out so naturally, that those not posted would think the whites were still running the ma chine alone." "We never appropriated to our own usenH lotoi cams neionging to otnerK.a' was recent ly dona by the sheet up street.": Democrat. That's very small ; remarkably small, even as a "last resort." Will the writer give the particulars ? It would prove so interesting to everybody. - The Christian Statesman, published at Philadelphia, Pa.,at$l a year is before us. Its columns are devoted to the cause of the Seventeenth Constitu tional Amendment, in such forms as shall suitably express our national rec ognition of Almighty God as the auth or of National existanee and the sour ces of all power and Authority in Civil Government. It contains the full minutes of the proceedings of the Convention held in Pittsburg, on the Srd and 4th inst., aeserabled in the in terests of this proposed Amendment. From it we judge that the best minds of the Nation are alive to the impor tance of the subject. ' A German woman-, residing on a homestead, in one of the Western counties of this State, having a hus band in ill health has, during the past winter, taken care of a large family of children, sawed, splitand piled sev en corda of wood, but does not com plain or ask to be allowed to vote. Adair county has just cast TOG votes for, to 237 ogaiust, the county subscrib ing $100,000 to the Capital stock of the Q M. & P. R. R, Extracts from a Letter from a Gentle man in Philadelphia. We are permitted to make the fol lowing extracts from a private letter received by a citizen of this city, from a prominent gentleman of wealth in Philadelphia, who is quite a land own er and tax-payer in this connty : It vou, or your friend Mr. Furnns. should happen to be Eastward iKiund. 1 would be happy to save you your hotel bills while in this city, by having your home with me, and I will show yon the sights. I would rather buy than sell land at present prices in your county. From the tone of tho Advertiser, I don't think there Is any safer place to have money Invested than .Ne maha county, or right fronting "Georges' lllll," In FalnnountPsrk, In this city, where I have driven my stakes. If one of my boys should choose to go to farming, I will give him thlsland and money to improve it. In thntcasel would want tn lmv mnrfi nritolnlnir. I would like to knowmoro than I do nlxmt the quality of the land and how n lies, n u comes in your way to give me any light on these points, I will be under additional obll- rrftt.fnua I am glad to see your Legislature has taken measures to Indueo foreign Immigra tion to your State. This, next to Rnilronds, in wlmt vnn most need. Great elforts arc now being made In this city and New York, to turn it South, where the capitalists of these cities have invested largely in iauus; ami these elforts will undoubtedly be successful to a crreat extent. So It behooves you of the West to be on the alert to keep this tldo of immigration on its natural level westward J. W. Hollincsnead sends out a circular advertising a sale of lots in Pawnee City, commencing on the 24th of May next. The lots are to be sold to the highest bidder, one third cash down and the balance on three and six months time. The Burlington & Southeastern Railway will becomple ted to Pawnee City the present season. Pawnee City being the County Seat, and the Commercial emporium of that portion of Nebraska, situated in one of the best farming communities in the State, surrounded by Ledges of buildimr stone and stone coal, is one of the most promising Towns within our knowledge, for the investment of capital. There will be a great rush for these lots. Remember the time and be present, you who wish to make money. The people of Otoe County seem to be boiling with bad feeling over what they call the bond question. There nn3i unquestionably, been some bad Jaith on the part of the officials, and a J of the leading men of that coun- ty, in issuing and disposing of the last ($150,000) issue of the County bonds to the B. & M. R. R. Co. The people are magnanimous, when they are honestly dealt with, but restless and unmanageable when their confidence is trifled with. We hope those who have been interested in issuing and manageing the people's money in this county will render unto Ceaser the things that are Ceaser's withHhe ut most care. The whole history of human pro gress is sumed up in the one word in tercommunication. Isolation is pov erty, barbaric pride, lethargy and death. The supreme effort of the race now, is to put every man on earth within easy and speedy reach of every other man. Shall the public enter prises, so dearly cherished, and so lavishly provided for, by the good citizens of Nemaha County, be excep ted from the general principles above stated, or shall good faith, energy and promptness bring us within the ex pectations of the legal voters of the county. We await the future, hope ful, at least, that- the measure of our joy will be full to overflowing. The Mayor of Quincy procured an injuction to be issued from the Circuit Court enjoining the issuing of bonds to the Q. M. & P. R. R. Co. The citi zens got up an indignation meeting, so numerously attended and so excit ed and aggrevated at the action of the Mayor, that he" saw it his duty to withdraw the writ, and quash the proceedings, and issue the bonds. The good people of Quincy see the importance of the completion of this road, and are bound that no obstacle shall stand in the way of its progress and ultimate completion. Good for Quincy ! Long may she live, flourish and grow rich ! A short drive into the country, this week convinced us that the founda tions for an increased crop of wheat, oats and corn, are being every day laid in Southern Nebraska. The green grass looks fresh and is reviving the spirits of the laborer. The spring wheat and oats are shooting their green blades out of the ground, on many a hillside. We saw a few fields of as good, and of as promising a stand of winter wheat as we ever saw in the most favored lands for the growth of this grain. We mention Wm. Harx by and John Barne's fields as among the best. The farmers are unusually busy, and the ground is now in better order for farm work than ever before. Let it be remembered that during the Last six months of Johnson's ad ministration, the revenue from whis ky at $2 per gallon amounted to but $13,500,000, while for the flrst six months of Grants administration the revenue from the same source, re duced to 65 cents per gallon, yields the Government $24,500,000. It has been said that comparisons are odious, still it may be well for the people to bear in mind the favorable results of an impartial administration of the laws. For this reason those engaged in the manufacture Ofspii its look with more favor upon Democratic misrule than upon Republican impartiality. m i We see by a late number of the Omaha Republican that the differen ces between the Board of Regents created by special act to control the old Capital property and the City School Board, have been compromised. The Regents will now erect a High School Building on Capitol Square at a cost of $100,000, and furnish it with ap proved apparatus for a first-class school. "No. But If what he did do In tlio sen-Ice of his country were properly ventilated bo fore a grand Jury, It would require something better than Congressional enactment to "re store him." Democrat. "Slander meets no repartf from noble minds : Only the ba&e-beUeve, what the base-ticly utter." A brother of Dr. McGrew, our County Superintendent of Common Schools, recently arrived in this place on a "look oufer expedition. We-hope he may be pleased with ourpointanti surroundings, and conclude tt locate among uo. Congress is perfecting a bill to pun ish convicted Polignmiets in the Ter ritories when lol they have tramped upon the ulcerated cornsof every Dem ocratic sheet in the United States. Let any large number of voters prac tice any glaring sin or act of oppress ion upon those who are precluded from the ballot, and straightway the Democracy will lly to their relief when assailed by the administration for their violation of the consceucc and better sentiment of the nation and the established law of the land. Horace Greeley has agreed to deliv er the opening address at the next Fair of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association, to be held October 30th. An ampitheater capa ble of seating 50,000 persons is to be erected,, encircling a display ring 425 feet in diameter, at a cost of $100,- 000'. The adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment has been the occasion of general rejoicing by both white and black citizens in nearly every city in the Union. Pullman, of the Pallace Car noto riety, is now engaged in building cars for church service on the U. P. Rail road, to be used on Sunday only. The Democrat of last week, in speaking of our late city election, in dulges in a little side show of exulta tion, over the fact that Republican leaders do not possess the power wielded by the Democratic head cen ters of bringing up the rank and file "to the rack, fodder or no fodder." Quite right, Bro. Calhoun, 'he Re publican organization does not admit of any such party tactics. Our columns are composed of thinking material, which, in your opinion and way of manouvering, may be unreliable. Let it be remembered that from the time of Andy Johnson's opening to the close of his administration, the expenditures of the National Govern ment were constantly increasing, and that from the time of the inaugura tion of General Grant, they have been constantly diminishing. We fear we touched our amiable cotemporary down street, in a tender place- last week. He writhes like a skinned eel. , Will the "controlling newspaper in Southern Nebraska" be kind enough to state, for the benefit of his "nu merous readers," whether he has found the "small end of the horn" out of which he "backed" on the question of the Brownville, Ft. Kear ney and Pacific Railroad "Ticket." Read thearticle on first page, "State Board of Immigration." The Board are going to work in good earnest, and are laying it out in about the right shape. The funeral cortege on the occasion of the burrial of the late James Ber ry, was, perhaps, the largest ever known in this place. Before inter ment, the remains were conveyed to Christ's Church, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Rector, Rev. Geo. R. Davis, who also per formed the burial service of that church. Prof. McKexzie, Principal of tho State Normal School, is enjoying a brief respite from the laborious duties of his position, by reason of vacation. We were pleased to meet him on our streets last week. J. M. Hogshead retires from the Beatrice Clarion. It will hererfter be conducted in the interests of Republi cans, by Mr. Theodore Coleman, a stranger with us. We hope for a bet ter acquaintance in the future. The trial of Dan McFarland for the murder of Albert D. Richardson? is in progress, and is exciting the atten tion of the reading public to a very great extent. The prosecution is through and the defence is progress ing slowly. A Denial. The Brownville Advcrtfar reviews our article "Fair Play is a JeweV at length in its issue of March 24th, with "A much ado about nothing" "Mares nest" "Hen on," as its dis play head, which said scare head, will do excellently as a description of the whole investigation business of the late Legislature. In this article, the editor, Col. R. W. Furnas, Regent of the University, &c, flatly denies that the Board of Regents of the Universi ty ever authorized or advised, or in the least winked at the action of the of the Commissioners in putting up a University building at a greater cost than $100,000. He also denies that the gentleman named by us being in attendance at a conference called at Nebraska City, did then and there "risk their legal reputation" by advising the said "offence." So the "issue," as the lawyers say Is made -up, and the question of veracity between the Ad vertiser and ourself, will go to thejury without further argument as far as we are concerned. These things were not done under a bushel, and the truth will probably develop itself as the case proceeds. The facts will come out. . It isn't our fight. We haven't the least disposition to slaughter any prominent memberof the Republican party in the State. But what we de. mand is, that when ths ring is formed and the combatants who cro into the sfaughtering business take off their gloves "fair plaj" is enforced. Y e repeat "Jrair play is a jewel." m What has become of our Brownville Democrat this week? When we do not get the new testament part of our political bible, we propose to raise a muss at once. Nebraska City News. We sent a copy of our paper to our esteemed cotemporary as usual en larged, revised and printed on book paper. We are happy in receipt of the dally edition of the political old testament, of the Democracy of Ne braska. Brownville Democrat. The Democratic party of Nebraska ought to be very happy in the posses sion of such pure political Gospel, as wo find in those old and new testa ments. Now if theDemocratic church would only ordain such meek believ ers, in that faith, as Forest, or Quan trel, and sing its pgginis from the "story of the lost Cause," there might be a mighty revival in the ranks of that defunct institution.

In a few days they will be as far out as Ashland, 24 miles from this place ; and in a few weeks the iron horse will come whistling into liincoln.

It opens to the people of this State direct communication with Burlington, Iowa, Chicago Illinois, Toledo, Ohio, Buffalo, New York, Boston, and all other Cities, via Michigan, Southern & Lake Shore Road, a grand thoroughfare, and in fact, we can safely say, that it is the great thoroughfare from the East to the West, as passengers traveling over It can reach Omaha, Cheyenne, Den ver, Col., Salt Lake City, Sacramento and Sanfrancisco, just as quick as by any other route. We have never yet, had the pleasure of traveling over it, but expect to go as far as Chicago ere long, and probably will give it a test. We recommend others to try it, for the reason that praise is universal from its patrons. Lincoln Statesman.
