"We are fearful that the courbe pureu- d JjQdes no good to the party.

The meeting was considering all mat ters touching the welfare of that city, Rnd in the next issue of the Whiff we observe that on no oi:. r subject was there such unanimity as upon that of asking the Legislature of the State to authorize the issuing of $o00,0l0 in the bond of the city, for the construc tion of the Q.

The citizens of that city fully appreciate the importance of the construction of this road, ami arc willing to put their hands down in their pockets und pay tho necessary stamps yearly to accom plish this result. We await the action of tho Legislature with much anx iety. l.T.T 'S II.VVIC PKAIK. In looking over our Republican ex- changes in this State, we notlco that much ill blood is beins: engendered where good will should bo the prevail ing sentiment. Why this disposition to injure the influence of those who aro right on the main principles and differ only as to men. Who i3 respon sible for this disorganizing element in tho party? It is maintained in the direct interests of the Democratic party, and will result in tho dlsinti gration of tbe Republican party, If not stopped Have our Republican editors the ;ood of the pajty at heart? If so, they must not only discounten ance this disposition to magnify the likes and dislikes of others, but must curb their own tendencies in that di rection. We nuifct reform now when we can, or ivc will noon find the ele ments of disorganization beyond ourl control. 1 BROWXVIIiLE-HER WANTS. If Brown ville had a good Board of Trado composed of her solid working men, they might contribute largely to tho prosperity and growth of the city. Men of means, mechanics, manufac turers, tradesmen, inventors, and men of public and private influences, reaching in directions not now access ible to us, often stop for a short lime in our midst with u view to location, but finding no authoritative source of information upon subjects which arc vital to the prosperity of their propos ed business ; after hearing the con flicting statements of ignorant and ir responsible parties, they leave, unde termined as to our wauls, capacities, and future ; and, perhaps, go and in vest where the indications of growth and success are more precarious, but wbero the information, statistics and facts bearing on their business are classified and arranged ; .showing all the advantages the point possesses. This board should, when organized, appoint committees, to each of whom should be referred one item of public intorcst. We need, at the earliest pns fcible moment, to knowinauthorative form, our exact and entire advantages ss a manufacturing point, comprising the coet of fuel, the relative cost of labor and material, transpotation, kind of manufactories, and how they may be supplied, nuti receive and re port upon plans. We need to know what measures are necessary to secure the location, in our vicinity, of public buildings, colleges, court house, jail, &c., and tne inducement: -v .. ...... rr r v. buildings.

We need to discover the sourct of the nearest, beat and cl.aipest supply of coal nr other fuel for manufactur ing and other purpmes. We need to dstenmne what legisla tion is nccewary for public and pri vate interest, by way of additions or amendments to the laws already in force, to iwenre the fullest develop ment of our resources, when ascer tained. We need to know what action i necessary to secure a perfect rail road system for the city, so as not to squan der our strength by rival individual efforts. Wo need to ascertain what branch es of mercantile business are not now rcpreented here, which might be successfully established or what might be profitably enlarged or added to. Are our educational advantages af- j forded to the youth, especially lu the i - i i . -,i. .. ,-.., higher departments, adequate to our needs and such as will attract popula tion ? What facilities are now needed to secure the largest proportion of the Western trade, and to secure to the farmers tho largest price for their corn, wheat, cattle, hogs and Tegsta bles. We should not onh hare full and complete reports, but the committess should be composed of such men as the public will have confidence in the wisdom of their suggestions. We do not ask for the expenditure of money upon that which will yield no return, but we seek to open ud avenues for paying investments, such as will in crease the trade and growth of the town ; the productive industry of the county, and the value of real estate, and if we accomplish nothing more, wc can then say to all who wish to know our wants and what we offer to capitalists, you can rely on what three reports say. This done, a stranger can learn more and come to a safer and truer conclusion of our capabili ties in one day than he now can in weeks of unaided and often fruitless investigation.

LINCOLN, Jan. 9. 1871. Just now our Stats is without a Representative la Washington, other 1 than tlie indefatigable Senator from your city. Statatw Thayar aua Congressman Taffe are both here, earnestly contesting the point as to who ehall have the honor of represen ting this SUte, In part, in the U. S. Senate, for six years, from the 4th of next March. The best friends of TafTe are grieved that he should hare left his post in the lower House, the I sole representative of the State there in, to contend here for the honor oi being a partial representative of her interests, in tbe upper House. In the late election, he received an endorse ment at tbe hands of th people with which any one might well be proud, and they think that be ought to have been satisfied with this, and not to have sought another position at this time. Besides, it is not forgotten that aside from his conceded ability, the chief argument urged for his re-election in the late canvass, was his per fect knowledge of the wants of the State, and especially his long exper ience in the House of Representa tives ; an experience that would be of little avail were he transferred to the Senate. Still, since he insists on being a candidate, he will hare many support ers. He undoubtedly occupies van tage ground. The people have confi dence in bis honesty and integrity, and they are quite sure that be pos sesses a fair sharo of ability. He has therefore, at lease, nominal advantage over the other distinguished candi dates from Omaha, whom all believe implicated in the disgraceful struggle which characterized the election of tho Legislature in that chief city of the State. Now, it must be allowed, that If by the elcotion of Taflfe, the Legislature would thereby put the seal of its con demnation upon these corrupt and corrupting practices which disgrace our popular system, and which es pecially disgraced the Omaha elec tion, every good citizen would say araen. We fear that the Legislature will not be influenced by considerations of this nature, and that Congressman Taffe is not to be the "coming man." General Thayer's friends would have it thought that his re-election is certain. There is no doubt that he has a formidable opposition to over come, though, at this time, no one can say how formidable. Bluff, rug ged, hearty Gov. 8aunders is by no means dismayed or disheartened ; yet his friends must admit that there Is no objection, that can be urged against Gen. Thayer, which will not apply witli equal force against him self, while the Goneral has the ad vantage In experience, and, as hi friends say, in ability. There is no denying that he has represented the State in the Senate with com manding ability. He Is always listened to with attention, and his counsel been regarded sound and dis creet. He has been, by vote and speech, a faithful and sagacious Rep resentative of the cherished princi ples of the Republican party. It is very justly argued that such a man with such a record in Congress, ought not to bo set aside on the flim sy protext of recompensing others for party services. The interests of the State, the Na tion, and if you will, of the Republi can party in the impeudiug contest which it must again wage in behalf -w of the principles for which it stands, can not afford such a change. This vjtw of the case, it is thought, will be decisive with the Members of the Legislature, and Gen. Thayer will be returned by a large majority. We shall see. Any way the contest going on outside among tho friends of the various candidates, is lively and highly diverting. The third Houtc is full to overflowing, and the hotels and public houses of the Capi tal are reaping a rich harvest. In the midst of all the excitement, the two Houses have met, organized, and gone quetly to business. Notices of important bills have been given aud ao far a general disposition mani fested to make the session a success. Of course some of the younger Mem bers and would-be orators are anxi ously uneasy to mako themselves conspicuous, but they will get over this in time, at least, so soon as they make the important discovery that a State Legislature is not a young men's de bating club. The newly elected Speaker of the house, Mr. G. W. Col line, of Pawnee, is evidently new to bis position. He lacks that prompt, positive, manner that tends so much to facilitate business in a body like this over which he presides; this usually comes, however, by long ex perience, where it Is not a natural gift. A presiding officer better make a half-dozen wrong Oicisions, than to be always uncertain what dicision to give, or allow himself to be dictated to by a member on tbe floor. He should remember that it is preemi nently truo that in his position that self-poised confidence, which Is not arrogance, much less insolence, Is most certain to beget confidence. Perfect familiarity with parliamenta ry rules, the utmost impartiality to ward political friends or foes, that watchfulness thnt allows nothing to transpire, nothing to be said, which is not seen or beard, that power of combination and memory that roar shalls and keeps before tbe mind all the events bearing upon the particu lar subject under consideration, and above all, the power by prompt deci sions &nd pertinent suggestions, to make all things and all persons work together directly to the main purpose, these are some of the qualifications which tend to make a model presiding officer. With such an officer, the business that It takes six weeks to transact, could be disposed of as well in ono half the time. The complaint is general and well-founded through out the whole country, that the peo ple are saddled with the expense of protracted sessions of their Legisla tures, when, under Utter auspices. !th.aptoniMWMt dowu oue I third or one half and their interests' be quite as well subserved. The difficulty is in part owing to our cumbrous legislative machinery, in part to a general tendency to de prive ofilcera and members of their poeitiens as soon as they have become sufficiently familiar with their duties to perform them with dispatch. The Governor's message was band ed in on Friday last. It Is, on tk-ej whole, a concise, straightforward, business like State paper, creditable alike to the State and his Excellency. His general recommendations in favor of more efficient methods of promot ing immigration and developing the vast resources of the State will no doubt meet a hearty response from the Legislature. Instead, however, of the State re taining possession of our Saline lands, leasing to individuals, and giving be side pecuniary assistance toward their development, as the Governor recom mends, would it not be far better to sell these lands outright, aud then, if necessary, using part of the proceeds thereof in encouraging, under proper regulations, private enterprise? We regret that the Governor should have urged the Legislature to memo rialize Congress for the removal of the Indians within our borders, to the Indian Terriory, or some other of the Wilds of America. " J The proposition is really unnatural, even monstrous, and the Governor could not have given it much consid eration. A few, a very few, crimes have been commited by these Indians, it is ad mitted, but undoubtedly not more than among an equal number of whites. Under their present humane treatment, they aro fast learning tho arts and conforming themselves to the practices of civilized life, and in this every noble, magnanimous soul sees great cause for rejoicing. They are erecting school houses and mills, cultivating the ground, not in com mon aud in a rude primitive style, but on distinct farms and after the most approved fashion, with the aid of good machinery that is of course the more intelligent of them. To tear them away from these homes to which they are becoming more and more at tached, to separate them from these kindly and softening influences would be, not merely cruel, it would be al together barbarous. It is hoped that if tho Legislature does anything in the premises, it will be to encourage the efforts which are being made at this late day to requite to this pitiful remainder of their race for the wrongs and outrages perpetra ted against their ancestors for three and a half centuries. The Regents have chosen Rev. A. R. Benton, of Alliance College, Chan cellor of the Uuivercity, and fixed his salary at $5000 per annum. It Is regretted that they did not fix upon a man of a greater reputation as a scholar and educator, but it is hoped that he is the man for the posi tion. It is expected that this week they will proceed to fill some of the chairs. Lincoln, Jan. 6th, 1871. Editor Brown ville Advertiser. The Legislature is now in full blast. The members have occupied their seats and pasted their names on their desks. The Private Seoretary of Da vid, tbe Governor, has read the Exec utive Message and envoked the bless ing of Almighty God upon everybody in the State in general, and tho Sen ate and House in particular. The Clerks and assistants have been duly elected, and those who haven't are disappearing from town, or are look ing for cheaper boarding houses than the "Titchenor Swindle." The Ne maha county delegatos aro doing the square thing by their constituents. DeForest Porter was early on the floor an announced his intention of introducing a bill amending the law giving State Lands to Railroads. This bill is in favor of the Trunk road and will be of inestimable advantage to the people of Nemaha county. Ev ery one of your delegates is working faithfully for that bill and you will hear more of it before long. Mr. Por ter also offered the following resolu tions relative to the death of Judge Saunders, which were adopted by the House : Resolved, That the House of Rep resentatives receive with deep regret the announcement of the death of Judge Saunders, of Nemaha county, who at the last election was chasen a member of this body. Bdolvcd, That in his death the Stato has lost a worthy and distin guished citizen, and this house a gon tlcman who would have been one of Its ablaBt members. Resolved, That the Clerk of this House be directed to forward the fam ily a copy of these resolutions, and that they also be entered in the House Journal. When things are fairly under way I will be able to give you a more ex tended account of what is transpiring here. From my observations so far I am convinced that tho people of Nemaha county have got the right men to represent their interests. Yours, H. R. T. Lincoln, Jan. 9th, 1871. Dear Advertiser. But little of importance has yet transpired in the Legislature, or about the capital since the 5th. Tbe organization of the two Houscb was effected without any serious titruggle, and with as general satisfaction as could be expected. In the Senate the President and Chief Clerk were elected by a unanimous vote. In the House there was some con test over the Speakership, between Collins, of Pawnee, and Clark, of Washington. Tbe result is indicative of nothing in particular. Nemaha has two of the subordinate officers in the House: Sergeant-at-Arms and Enrolling Clerk. Young Mr. Cul bertson filling tbe flrBt position, and Mr. Snyder the second. Notice has been given of quite a number of important bills of a gener al character in both houses, and a dis position shown to "cut out" a ltrge amouut of work. But little will be done, however, until tbe Senatorial matter i.dhroied of, wblcbwill aotJSIijSSii: """ """:' be until after the I7th. The names thus far spoken of are the present In cumbent, Gen. Thayer, Gov. Saun ders, Gen. Hitchcock, Maj. Taffe, Mr.. Rogers and Jadge Grounse. The as pirants are marshalling their forces, and preparing for the. combat. No one otitsIAe of the candidates them selves, are rash enough, at this stage of the proceedings, to "bet high" on the result. All, of course, claim to be on tbe "inside track." There has been an immense and unusual lobby thus far, which will be greatly enlarg ed and strengthened the present week. Nearly every county is represented ; Douglas county perhaps, more than all others combined. The fight will be bitter in the end. Thus far, "cau cus" has been ignored, and "free fight" has prevailed. The indica tions are, there will be no cauous ev en on the Senatorial matter. The Governor's Message you have before you in full. It is generally pronounced, here, his best effort in that line. The University Regents have been in session for several days, and will likely remain engaged the principal portion of this week. On Saturday they elected a Chancellor, A. R. Ben ton, of Indianapolis, Indiana, now filling a position in the University at Alliance, Ohio. He is personally known to but few in the State, but comes very highly recommended as an experienced and successful educa tor. Such other chairs as may be found necessary to meet the wants of the University, will he filled within a few days, perhaps. It may be, how evr, that the Board may await the arrival of the Chancellor, who has been telegraphed, and his advice and counsels obtained before proceeding further. The University building is completed and is a magnificent edi fice. The State vote will be canvassed to day or to-morrow. The new officers are all hero ready to be installed into their respective positions. I hope by your next issue to be able to furnish you with more important and detailed information relative to matters "about the capital." W. i Built Aceordlng. to Contract. People who have built houses for themselves, and in the never-varying experience of all, overrun the con tractor's estimate, may find some con solution in the fact that there was no man who had his house built exactly as ha ordered it, and didn't alter a line of his original plan, or overrun the original contract price. This was a peppery old sea-captain, who sketched out his own plans, be ing something of a draughtsman, of his modest two story, green-blinded, wooden mansion, and summoned his carpenter and demanded what he would charge to build a house for him exactly after that plan, to be done in six mouths. "But, captain," said the knight of the foreplane, "there are no " "Don't but me," exploded the cap tain, "I want the house, just accord in to my plan." "Certainly," said Shavings, "but you will let me put in " "Not one single thing," roared the captain. "I pay you to build the house exactly as I have drawn the plan. I won't have anything put in ; obey orders if you break owuers." "Very well, so be it," said Shav ings, rather nettled, and thepricewas fixed for dwelling exactly according to plan, to be finishod in six month's time, and tbe captain sailed awav. Returning home he was waited on by the builder and the new mansion visited. Its exterior was quite cor rect, pretty green blinds, neat door, with trellis and all complete, and so were fir&t floor entry and rooms. The captain was profuse in commenda tions. "And now," said he, "wc will go up to the chambers." "All right," said Shavings, "come outsiuo to tne ladder!" "Outside! why, Shavings, what d'ye mean by that? I want to go up stairs." "Can't do that, sir, there aro no stairs." "No stairs!" exclaimed the aston ished mariner, "no stairs." "No,' replied the imperturbable builder, "you refused to have a single thing put in not down in the plan, and thatoontained no stairs. Obey orders if you break owners." The captain was fairly caught, for in his drawiug he had utterly forgot ten this important portion of his dwelling, and his peppery temper had prevented tbe carpenter from point ing it out to him. Since then, it is said, the captain alwa3's gets in a pas sion when any one stares at him. Boston Commercial Bulletin. Pray la year Family. Says Rev. Norman Macleod : "I shall never forget tho impression made upon me during the firstyearof my ministry by a mechanic whom I had visited, and on whom I urged the paramount duty of family prayer.
