g3VW -mv UT--W: t t di I'M T i i 5 asi THE ADVERTISER. mi m ' ' 'i - , , l BROWKTriLLE, SEB., THTJRSDAY"MORNING,:vrAY 25, 1S71. Joel T. Griffin has been appointed Poet Master at Omaha. Gon. Stricklanil has rebigncd the office so long held by him, of TJ. S. District Attorney for Nebraska. It 3s supposed that Hon. L. Gerard of the State Senate will be his successor, Horace Greeley has been toasted, dined, and sernaded at New Orleans aad at Galve&ton. Ho makes the address before the Agricultural Socie ty, at the Texas State Fair, and is down there now for that purpose. An Annexation Convention has been called to meet at Niagaria Falls, July 4th next, to consider theproprie ty of annexing Canada to the United .States. The call is signed by Ameri cus T. "Wilson of Washington D. C, ud iL Picard, of Quebec C. E. rt A New Rail Itoad Company. At a meeting held ia North Star, 3Io., May IGth, 1871, the following proceedings were had. 1. V. Muirwas elected President, and John L. Carson, Secretary. The meeting adopted articles of in corporation for the Brownville and 3 lam burg Hail Road Company. The capital stock was fixed at $300,000. The books were opened, when $13,000 was subscribed ; of this amount $050 was paid in, whereupon the stock holders elected the following men as directors of the road, to-wit: If. C. Lett, R. W. Furnas, II. M. Atkinson, J. L. McGee, C. P. Stew art, T. V. Bedford, F. A. Tisdel, jr., J. L. Careon, A. J. Edwards, M. V. Blakemore, Sidney French, R. V. Muir and Evan Worthing At a meeting of the Directors the following oflicera were duly elected : II. C. Lett, President; R. W. Furn as, Secretary, and R. V. Muir, Treas urer. Wo give bo much of the proceodinga had at said meetings as are of general Interest to our readers, The buildiug of this fchort line of road (thirteen miles) is u matter of great importance o Brownville, as well as to Hamburg .nd Atchinson county, and if this jompauy mean business, as wc are as fcured they do, we shall be glad to sue them at work. We judge people and corporations by what they do, and not by what they profess. We will givd the men, who are tho directors of this company, the credit of being i:i earnest, and if we have any m.n who ought to develop management and railroad ability, this directory ha3 them. So we hopefully await imme diate and presistent action, and will give them until the first of October io bring the cars to Brownville, not one day more. man upon which he must realize im mediately a certain amount of cash. He takes it to the bank where lie is told it is worth, but little, perhaps thirty or forty cents on tho dollar. He wants to know the reason why it is not worth more, and is told it can't be sued until next term of court. Then the judgement can be staid one year, then tho sale and confirmation will take fcix months more In all about two years, providing no delays occur which is not often the case. Can we have a change at this session of tho Legislature? Wo avait there adjournment to see what service they render for the amount of money they are consuming. The Confessional. The Democracy are busy at the con fessional at the present time. They hold scarcelv a political meeting at which they do not confess what Re publicans have done to put down the Rebellion and to atnend the Consti tution, was well done, and should not be disturbed or changed. Now, all tliis was accomplished in spite of their dogged and factious oposition at every step, and at every stase of its progress. Republicans are still working with the saruo end in view, aid at every step of their advance ment they have this same factious oposition to contend with, and when fcucceas has crowned the efforts of our statesmen and the country is content ed, prosperous and happy, we shall expect these Democrats now at the confessional for past offences against the will of the people, again pleading for forgiveness and forget fulness, and adding other finality planks to their political platform. During all this time the people, will aay as they do now, that it is safe to trust the Gov ernment In the hands of those who come out justified by their opponents rather than transfer it to the party that confesses they have been gov erned by a wrong policy in the past, but hope to do better in the future, and they will continue so long as the futi'.ve holds the undoubted proof that their present trust of power is in safe hands. Connecticut Election. The election for State officers this Spring was very closely contested. And although it was generally con ceded that Governor Jewett and the Republican generally were elected, yet there were not a few who figured p English ahead. Tho Legislature us in duty bound, canvassed the vote and declared the Republican officers elected by small majorities. Most Democratic papers with their usual disregard for truth, give very contta dictory reasons for the failure of the Democracy in the Democratic State of Connecticut. Some of these papers give there contradictory reasons in ihe same editorial and others in dif ferent editorials in the same paper. One reason is that "a Republican committee of the Legislature count ed them out Ignoring justice, law, and the expressed will of the major ity" or in other words, gave Jewett the certificate, when English receiv ed the most votes. The other reason given is that "some of the Democrats went in for getting a portion of the negro vote" and then conclude that "'that policy, and that alone, caused the failure of the party in theStatct." If the party had kept its face clean and pure white, it would certainly have re-elected all the board of State officers and gained one member of Congress." If this last proposition be true then they were not counted out as set forth in the first proposi tion, but failed for want of votes. To count them out against a, majority of votes would be to beat them at their own game, and this no set of Repub Jicans would care to undertake were they ever so much 5oscd to do so when the professional practitioners were all opposed to them. O flu The Legislature of this Stato re-assembles in Lincoln on the SOth Inst, next week, whether for business or abr wrangling, will be best discovered After the session is completed. The Republican party needs wise and ju dicious leaders more than ough't else. Political hot heads and unscrupulous adventurers ought and will work the destruction of any party. The peo waut their money expended for some good purpose. Our collection laws need re-modling. We must induce capital to now into the State. Much in Ibis direction was expected from - this Legislature, but so far nothing has been accomplished. The people should have some knowledge of the general laws under which they are to be governed immediately after thev take effect. This moping alon- in the dark is an outrage upon common sense. Better have a 'poor codo of laws well understood and accessable to all than over so plain and good ones hid under a bushel. If you Have any light let it shine no that all in the State may see tho rule which should govern their actions. Taxation should be uniform, and ex emptions from execution, and taxa tion should bo limited to a point waere it uiay do beneficial alike to the laborer and tho capitalist. Giv ing unlimited protection to a set of lazy uuprincipaled cheats Works a hardship to tho frugal industrious but poor laborer, as it prevents the in v.estment of capital by which a de mand for his labor is created. Far-j Col. Furnas wrote us on the loth inst., from Omaha the following: Our party leaves on the 16th for an observation tour the entire length of the U. P. R. R., and perhaps to Salt Lake. The party consists of E. Ter- rand, of Detroit, Mich , tho great French tree grower. Judge 0. P. Mason, Mnj. D. II. Wheeler of Platts mouth, J. T. Allcn of Omaha, F. A. Tisdel and R. W. Furnas of Brownville. All under the au ppice3 of the State Board Agricultur al and State Horticulture Society. Object, to collect and distribute, for experimenting, Rocky Mountain Ev ergreens. We will also visit the great Stock herding regions on the plains, which are now being grazed, under differ ent interests, over 100,000 head of stock. still remaining. Now, supposing the Hamburg branch of the B. & M. wan run down to Brownville, one of two things would be certain, either our freights to Chicago would be less or if not, then the profits of the B. & M. would be largely increased, as, if they can carry corn from Hamburg to Chi cago for $30 per car and pay expenses, they certainly would make handsome ly when they receive $50 per car from Brownville to Chicago, tho distance being only fourteen miles further. Brownville has no cause of complaint, thus far, from the B. fc M. She may consider herself greatly favored, but tho question arises, will this favor continue? We have no assurance of it. In fact the old prices of $G0 from Phelps to Chicago may be re-established at any moment. The only hoiu of nermanent reductions of freight is in the completion of the railroad from Hamburg to Brownville and from Brownville to Marysville, and so on to Quincy. Tho first road we can have and the second we may have. The Trunk Road Kow is the time for the people of Otoe and Nemaha counties to move in the matter of securing this line through Brownville to Nebraska Ci ty, this year. If we sit still it will first be built around us and we shall be compelled to wait one or two years before our line reaches us. Who will take hold of tho matter? Nebraska City Chronicle. Brother Waters have we not already waited just a little too long, or rather has not Otoe County done so. Nema ha County has had a standing offer of $132,000 voted now nearly, or quite two years. This offer will bo good until tho 4th day of July next, when it will expire by the terms and con ditions therein set forth. Now un less work is commenced in this coun ty previous to that time the offer is no longer good, and when once it ends, it will be difficult to renew it. From present prospects we are inclin ed to the opinion that the 4th of July will find us as now, with less hope of the Trunk than ever. While the river towns in Nemaha County and Nebraskr City will loose greatly by this delay, wo opino that St. Louis will find she has lost the whole of Nebraska. MDtMMKMHMi reserved rights of the States. Stand ing upon such a platform ho and they can say to the Union soldier "we ac cept it all. We find no fault with that," but to the rebel soldier he and they wilfsay, "we accept nothing, as nothing has been done for the pur pose which we have named. When in power we intend to restore the old order of things and give to your klau full swing to weed out, kill and de stroy tho minions who now control your county and State organizations, and we will grant you power over the negroes to your heart's content." The Baptist Church of Browuville have called to their pulpit the Rev. T. J. Morgan, who has for tho past three years been engaged by the The ological Seminary of RochestarN. Y. At the annual meeting of the New York Baptist Union for ministeral educatiou held in Rochester, May 17th, the following preamble and res olution, presented by Hon. G. W. Rawson, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Rev. Thos. J. Morgan, who has been our corresponding sec retary for the last three years, has been called to another field of labor, and deems it his duty to accept such a call ; therefore, Jiesolvcd, That we shall ever re member with gratitude his faithful labors in behalf of our institution and the success which has attended Ins efforts, and that he will carry with him to ins new field of labor our fiest wishes for his success and prosperity. and title first Illgli Taxed nud no AVorlc. We are being continually asked tho question why it is that something is not being done by the B., Ft. K. & P. R. R. Co., by way of pushing for ward tho work on their lino. The people are murmering nota little over the high taxes, without material ben efit. The officers of this road will need to make some showing of labor performed, and work accomplished if they de.-dre much longer to satisfy the people. They make a great mistake if they suppose the township ami city bonds wero oted merely to pay them largo salaries to support them in idle ness. Tho people want tho facts. They don't demand impossibilities, but they will ask that if the bonds cannot bo disposed of, and, as a con sequence, no work done, that tho in terest be remitted. They will pay cheerfully when to pay promises them the road as an immediate consequence. We have solicited information as to present standing and prospects of the company, and have thus far tried to remain satisfied on hearing general statements and indefinite future prom ises, but unless these are more pro ductive of good results in the future thau we have realized in the past, we shall soon yield to the general presure and demand to know more minutely what has been done, and what may be expected, and ask that our finance be placed on a basis to accord with the facts. Justice is what the people demand, and as an exponent of their wishes we must assist them in seeing it fully maintained. Wo have little doubt that the railroad men will sec the necessity of relieving the public anxiety upon the subject and will ac cord to our burdened tax-payers the necessary relief. The easiest way to lift the burden would be to push the work on the entire line. Wo would be sorry to bo instrumental in embar rassing the operations of the compa ny, and in effectual labor they are en titled to and shall receive our hearty co-operation. fjtate Land Suite. One of the charges made against Governor Butler was, that hesoldlots of the State to parties, who did not, at tho time, pay for the same, but waited until they could be sold by the purchasers to other parties, the first purchaser pocketing the margin, the second purchaser taking his from the State by paying in tho purchase money months afterwards. Wcare informed that the Penitentia ry lands were recently sold at Lincoln in large quantities, and certificates given to the purchaser, which when taken to the Governor and paying the purchase money into tho Treasury, entitled the holder to a deed from the Stato. We are further informed that several of the impeachers are the holders of these certificates, and are endeavoring to trade them off to par ties who may be iuduced to pay them small margin for their chances on the lands. Large quantities were sold to men who never expect to pay for the lands, but are offering to sell the certificates to parties who will. How can men havo the hardihood to do what they allege was a crime for the Governor to permit to be done? Are politicians so hopelessly corrupt that nothing better can be expected of them ? Who is to blame for this" state of affairs? Is it the rings and cliques who control our nominating conven tions, or must we saddle a portion of it upon the honest voters who Btay at home and take little part iu placing candidates upon the ticket, and but little in their election or defeat. Missouri. From the assessment return of the State it will be seen that the number of acres of land assessed is 33,945,022, and they are valued at $202,192,063. The town lots are valued at $137,503,- 424. Personal property is valued at $156,332,037. Total taxable wealth $471,166,523. St. Louis county fur nishes $19S,617,840, of this very near ly one half, while the State has twenty times tho inhabitants of Ne braska, her taxable wealth is only eight times that of ours. XEBllASILA ITEMS. Richardson Countj-. The Steamer La-Barge's Captain agreed to ship a number of hogs from Rulo to St. Louis for Messrs. Bow kers of Rulo on last Tuesday. The boat arrived on that day, tied up ready to receive the hogs as per agreement. The hogs were not all in the corral and Bowkers told the captain that he could not ship the hogs then, as they were not all there. Tho cap tain concluded to take what hogs were there for dumages, to avoid which the Bowkers lot them out to prevent, while the boat hands and the Bowkers got in to a row, in which clubs were freeley used. In the end the Bowkers were badly bruised up. Loring C. Jones was arrested in Rulo on Saturday last upon the affi davit of a lady of Rulo, charging him with an attempt to commit a rape, lie was confined in the calaboose of Rulo until the arrival of the Sheriff, from which place he escaped on Sun day by boring off the lock. Tho County Commissioners of Richardson County iire building a jail at Falls Ci'y. The foundation is completed aud half of tho stone for the Superstructure are dressed. That enterprising paper, the Falls City Journal enumerates tho many improvements now on tho tapis in Fall City. That town is improving rapidly. Our Rail Road Prospects. As we are asked daily, almost, con cerning our future Rail Rold pros pects, we will answer briefly the gen eral inquiries as near as wo have been advised. The first in order i3 the Quincy, Missouri& Pacific Rail Road, the one in which the majority of our citizens are most deeply interested, from the facts of its being an east and west line, and also from the probability of its becoming a greatpublic thorough fare. The Q., M. &P. R. R. Compa ny is yet in its infancy, having been an organization less than two years. Yet, all things considered, its success thus far has been almost without a parallel. Last season some forty miles of grading and bridging was let at the eastern teimini and is now al most ready for the tics and iron. At the western end some three miles have been graded from the Missou ri river to Phelps City. It is the de termination of the company to push the grading from the latter point east ward across the countj', and probably farther, this season, providing, of course, no obsticles are thrown in the way. And we have reason to think there will be none. This is the road for our citizens, ns it will be lhe4 "means of a rapid developement of that portion of the county lying cast of Rock Port, and of material advan tage to all parts of the county. The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad Company, we understand, will soon have airangements comple ted to extend their line from Ham burg, Iowa, to North Star, in this county. A company was organized under the general law of this State in this county a week or two since for tho purpose of building this exten sion, und from one of tho corporators we learn that there is but little or no doubts but that the road will be in operation to North Star within three or four months. This line, if built, will be of great value to our citizens as it will cause a heavy decline in freights. Communication with Chi cago will also be more direct. Of the Missouri, Iowa & Nebraska Railroad, better known as the State Line road, we have heard but little of late. It is pushing westward vigor ouslv; and we think by a little exer tion'on the part of our citizens the company might be ii duced to locate aud build through Atchison county, an Brownville seems to bo tho objec tive point. The St. Louis .t Omaha Railroad is being pushed forward as rapidly as money will do it, and although our citizens are not directly interested in this road it will be our first eastern out-let, as the Quincy, Missouri & Pa cific Railroad Company expect to form a junction with that road in ei ther Nodaway or Gentry Counties. The Tebo tl Neosho Railroad Is un der contract from some point on the Missouri river northward to Cameron. From thence its course will be in a northwesterly direction to Omaha, probably striking Atchison county on tho south aud traversing its entire length. Rockport Journal. Granville said the official copy of the treaty was only received by the government yesterday. It was now printing, and would be submtited on Tuesday. The other official docu ments would be withheld pending debate in tho Senate of the United States on ratification. Versailles, Sunday May 21. A circular has been issued by Thiers officially confirming the entrance of the troops into Paris. It says.: The Gate of St. Cloud having been batter ed down, Gen. Dauais rushed in. Generals Mendult and Chinchemps are preparing to follow. Since the issue of the above circular good news has been received. Daua sis' men hold their positions inside Gate St. Cloud, where they have cut the telegraph wires Communicating with other portions of the encieute. A flag of truce was hoisted at Auteuil Gate. Two regiments entered there and proceeded beyond the viaduct of the circular railway, meeting with no resistance. Gen. Cissey reports that Malakoff and Fort Montrouge have been aban doned bv the insurgents and will soon be occupied by his command, but that the batteries on the ramparts oppo site are still firing. There is a panic in Paris. It is said that Payet. GroiKetto and other rebel leaders have disappeared.

AVe are indebted to Evan Worth ing, a grain dealer in Brownville, for the following facts, which wo present for the beuelit of our readers : Our corn, this Spriug, has been mostly shipped to Chicago. Our mar ket for grain has, heretofore, been in St. Louis. Let us see what has pro duced the change. Our grain dealers pay on a car load of grain from Phelps City to Ham burg, $20, aud from Hamburg to Chi cago, $30. Total cost, per bushel, of delivering corn in Chicago and selling it, twen ty cents. - The total cost of delivering corn in St. Louis and-selling it is twenty-sev- Cxi cents per ousnet. One reason for its costing more by the river is that it must be snipped in sacks, while to Chicago no sacks are needed. The price of corn in Chicago rauges at 54(55 cents, while in St. Louis it has ranged at 5S59 cents. Showing two State SnblmtU Sciiool Convention. Mr. E. E. EbrigliD has shown us a number of letters received by him from various Sabbath School workers, among the number one from Vice President Colfax, expressing a wish to attend our annual State Sabbath School Convention, to be held at Lincoln commencing June 20th. The committee are lively at work to se cure a full attendance, and a full re port of each Sabbath School. Mr. Ebright is prepared to furnish blanks to every Superintendent in the State, which ho desires filled out and sent up to the Convention either b letter, or by hand of the delegation. Able men will be present. A Philadelphia firm will send there for exhibition a patent Sunday School Post-Olfico, which it is claimed will work up a wonderful interest in tho Sunday Schools of the State. Col. Philpott, of Lincoln, writes Mr. Ebright that, although other bodies will then be in session in Lincoln, their people will make the objects of this Convention of the first importance, and will pro vide liberally for the entertainment of all who come. Gage County. The District Court for this countjv disposed of the calendar in two days last week. The grand jury found several indictments, and condemed the jail under tho court house as un healthy. Messrs. Bedford of Browuville, At kinson of Beatrice, and Clark, agent for the B. & M. left Beatrice for the Republican la-t week. The fruit trees set out this spring in this county are iu good condition. A two year oid boy died from the cflectsofono b wallow of concentra ted lye, in two hours in Beatrice. 239.5S9 acres of land in Gage Coun ty was assessed this year at $923,450.

Tcogo, of the navy, went from the treucires to the ramparts at Pont du Jour, and, finding the insurgents had retired, called three hundred sai lors and took possesion of the gate. Other troops followed before any one : .wis aware mar. me entry nail com menced. Not a rifie was 'fired nor a man wounded. The whole thing was unexpected. A white flag has been hun-outat Antenil. Another brigade of Versailles has entered Porto Montrogue, and troops are pour down on both points. It is reported that the Avenue be Triomphe has been reached, and that the insurgents made but slight resistance. Theguns on the ramparts have been turned on the Communists.

Xearly every prominent leader of the Democratic party is engaged in erecting platforms upon which they wish to transfer the rank and file from the mud and rnirein which they have so long been floundering. This is noble and patriotic whenever it is not alloyed with selfishness. We are glad to witness this desire of the worn out war horse3 to get on to solid ground, so Jong monopolized by Re publicans. Even Valandigham has some returning good sense in this di rection, but he words his platform so guardedly as to be in a position to prove it means nothing of the sort. Ho "accepts all that Republicans have done as a finality so far as it has been done for tho ostensible purpose of maintaining the Union and the Con stitutional rights and powers of the federal Government, and acquiesces in them as 110 longer issues before the country."
