TKCU.1ISEH, STERLING COLN. AND !-! On Tuesday of last week, in com pany with lions. II. C. Lett, H. M. Atkinson and Jas. Stevenson, we set out in a carriage for Tecumseh, there to attend a meeting called in the in terest of the Brownville, Ft. Kearney & Pacific railroad. After a pleasant ride of five hours we arrived at our destination, putting up with mine host, Tierney, of the Sherman House. Our last visit to Tecumseh was in June last. Then it looked dull and uninviting. The citizens were living between hope and fear touching the probable route of the Atchison & Nebraska R. R. Now the cars are running into Tecumseh, and its ev ery street, business house and citizen, seems to pulsate with new life. The streets surrounding the square, were, on our arrival, crowded with teams, ! of statistics, and sequent explana-, of the "hard fisted yeomanry" in while the side-walks were thronged i tions, all saw, felt and acknowledged , town that he was not molested. That with men all seemingly intent on bu- the importance to that city, as well as ! speech laid the foundation of his po siness. The scream of the Iocomo-1 to Nebraska, of the Droiect. and nave litical fortune. In the Autumn of '5S live, as it coursed into town, seemed to awaken the energies of everybody within its sound, and these who less than a year since doubted the policy and expediency of subsidizing the road, now concede that they have made money by tho investment, and appreciate the fact that iuasirich as j in the shape of County, Precinct and a-year will elapse ere they will be j City subsidies in bonds to the amount ea-lledupon to make a payment on.) of four hundred thousand dollars and their subsidy, the increase of popula-j the right of way, and give that as a tion and wealth, to say nothing about donation to any company or corpora te enhanced valuation of nronertv. ! tion who would complete a runninir will swallow up the extra tax, and by the time the tax list for 187:1 is made oat, though the schedule will be many fold higher, ihe prorata lax will not exceed, if, indeed, it equals that now assessed. In the evening the Court House was crowded with people assembled to hear promised addresses. The first speaker was H. C. Lett, President of the B. & Ft- K. R. R., who was fol lowed by Dr. Converse, and the Dr. by cx-Gov. Butler. Each address was listened to attentively, and at the close, a resolution was adopted favor ing the taking by Johnson county of i?l(K),000 stock in the Brownville, Ft. Kearney & Pacific Railroad, the vote being unanimous, and no fears are entertained but what the proposition wi.H meet with the hearty approval of i It will simply be asked to extend the-eleetors of the county, all appre-! the time on the amount alieady vo ciatrng the fact that opposition will ! ted.

TRUNK RAILROAD. Colonel Furnas's Accoxml of Ms Mission. Tlie Prospects of tlrer j&oad. Knowing the anxiety tho people of this county, particularly, feel in the success of the river road, I submit the following for their information. As chairman-of the Nebraska State Rail Road-Committee, and with oth er members thereof, in compliance with instructions, we visited St. Lou is on the I7th to place before the- bus iness men of that city the enterprise of building the St. Louis and Nebras ka Trunk Rail Road : being really 'an extension of the Missouri Pacific Rail Road, following as near as prac ticable, the west bank of the Missou ri River. The committee met with a most cordial reception and kindly greeting from all quavers. Were formally received by the Mayor, and afterward entertained by the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce. The enterprisewas more particularly J and definitely laid before the Board of Directors of the Missouri Pacific Rail Boad Company, believing that organization more closely interested than any other in the matter under censideration. It is not expected, of course, thatlgivc'your readers in de-i tail, tiie conversations and discus - sions which took place at the several meetings with the. organizations re- ferred to. Suffice it to say, that after an exhibition of maps, presentation most cheering assurances that aid could be obtained, and will be given, correspondingly with what we along the line do ourselves. Tho Nebraska Committee made three propositions substantially as follows: First, We would furnish aid a i line of rsad giving direct connection C vjj.vi. .uiuii.uuuu U'tween Omaha and St. Lxmis and tA 1- .. . . -T , iiueiiiieuiaie points, in ieurasKa. inai h .uany was ueieaMt their op Second, If they would furnish a like p n.ents would be more tyrannical sum as stock subscribed to the road. ! we would build the road. Thinly That we in Nebraska would raise five hundred thousand dollars in cash and Bonds, .sum in cash, they to furnish a like and jointly build the road. All the propositi ins providing for a running road within twelve months from date of contract. "To make a long story short," one of these three propositions witl be ac cepted, as soon as the counties, pre cincts and cities along the contempla ted line, actually rote the amounts re quired. This county will not likely be asked lo vote anything additional. ntnn rv,.,,.,. . 1 i i . vkww vvuiii Liii; i cu iur nnvi hi ihthi xr voted aid in the sum of five thousand dollars per mile, from the north line of Nemaha County to Nebraska City. The unprovided for gap, is that be tween Nebraska Citv and PlniU mouth, a distance of about twenty live miles. At Plattsmouth a con nection would be made with tho B. & M. road now" running to Omaha. From Omaha norfti, O. & N. W. road isrunuing over forty miles up the river, and is being rapidly pushed to tho northern State line. The Committee appointed by the State Convention remains in exist ence, and will arrange to build this road, or exhaust every possible effort to t:at end. A sub-committee yet remain iil St. Louis, in order to defi njteby consumute Eome plan by which the jenterprize may ue successfully executed. This question of the Trunk Rojjd is now, auu l believe for the last time, again before the people of Nebraska for their consideration, and tliero is no use attempting to disguise two im portant facts. First, that this enter prise has not, heretofore, received that attention, or more particularly . .- ait-ir-,-1 Aifrjr - the boy after the wood-chuck", out of meat," without this road! "Self pres ervation" Is said to be, and properly is, "the first law of nature." If the people along the river do not take care of themselves, Ihey alone are at fault, not others. Time was when "nn'.ural thoroughfares," and "rock bottom landings" were desi rable, and in fact all important. But "tempora mutanlur, nos ct mutamur in zVV "times change and we change with them". We thought m an early day, the Missouri river eould never be superceded. But the facts are, railroad developments have ren dered the strearw rather a curse than a bleshing to us, and to-day, lands are higher,. and in better demand, prices better, business more brisk, and all things more desirable, sixty miles in the interior, west of us, than imme diately on the river; aH in conse quence of Rail Road facilities. But, Mr. Editor, I wilTnot further consume yoar space, but indulge in the hope-that eurpeople in Nemaha, will vote affirmatively on the proposition- now pending to extend the time, panel that other counties will speedily t do their duty. In which event, be fore the frosts of another winter, we will be connected by direct rail with St. Louis, where our commercial re lations really belong. Robt. W. Furnas, Member of Com. from Neni. Co. Early B&y&in ITemaha County. Sumlier 0. BY W. A. P. While Nebraska remained a Terri tory, there was great jealousy of the citizens of Omaha, and several ef forts were made to remove the seat of government from that city. As ear ly as '56 there was a move made in the legislature, to remove the capital to the neighborhood of where it is at present, but tho Territoriol officers decided that there was mo power in the people of a territory to remove the capitalfthe U. S. having erected the public buildings, the capital must remain at Omaha. Right here let me remark, that although Kansas and Nebraska were organized by an Act which was said to confer sovereignty on the people of tho Territories, the peoplo of the Territory of Nebraska never possessed a particle of sov ereignty. The were ruien'by the federal office-holders appointed by the Presi dent, who were mostly imported frem a distance, and knew but little and cared less aboul the wants and de sires of the people, to. whom they were in no wise responsible for their acts. In '5S, the people south of the Platte, under the leadership of Ne braska City, strove to have the Terri tory divided. The south part to be annexed to Kansas, and the Platte river to be the Northern boundary of the State of Ivans About that time Samuel G. Daily, of Peru, was com- ing into notice. He delivered a speech in Johnson's Hall which was 1 perhaps the first Republican speech j delivered in Nebraska. Threats had I been made that he should not "speak his piece" in Brownville, but when the day arrived, there were so many j he was elected to the Legislature, re ceiving more votes than any other candidate, and in the Legislature, he was the onty South Platte member that opposed the South Platte move ment of annexation to Kansas. In '59, the Republicans were determined to organize the party and run a can didate for delegate to Congress, and for various reasons selected Daily as their candidate. His opponent was Gen. E. Estobrook, of Omaha. This wus a very exciting canvass. The iiu-.-'iaicij ;.iilj imu uc.ll ciJ , . rr ? 1 . e t... . . , !, lj-m.. ..xa overbearing, and the republicans felt ,,,.,. t . ........ than before. Daily received 114 . i. jority in this county, and receiHi majority of the votes in theTenitory, but tlie board of Canvassers being all democrat, gave the certificate of election to Estabrook, who, at the opening of Congress was given the seat, but Daily contested the election, and brought forward so many proofs of fraud, that Estabrook was ousted and Daily admitted. In 'GO,. Daily was re-nominated, his opponent being J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska City. Tlie most of peo ple recollect the very exciting canvass of 1SG0, which terminated in the elec tion of Abraham Lincoln to the Pres idency. Nebraska beimra territory. took no part in tlie Presidential struggle only as each person sympa thized with the parties engaged. This sympathy caused a great deal of ac tivity in the canvass for delegate and other officers voted for in Nebraska, and Daily again received 114 majority in this county, while-the Republican candidates to the Legislature were elected by an average majority of about GO votes. The Territorial board of canvassers gave the certificate of election to Morton, but afterwards Gov. Black gave Mr. Daily a certifi cate of eiection, and when Congress met, both gentlemen were on hand with their certificates, and Congress gave the seat to Daily. In '02 Daily was again renominated and elected, but in '64, P. W. Hitch cock, at present U. S. Senator, re ceived the nomination and was elect ed. In 'So, Mr. Daily received the appointment of Assistant Collector of Customs at ISew Orleans, and after a few weeks residence in that city was stricken with disease which termina ted fatal I y. His body was brought to Nebraska and interred in Walnut Grove Cemetery. Mr. Daily was an illiterate man and ni opponents ridiculed his Hoosierlsme, llP was a shrewd deba ter and always oarrIetl the masses with him. Po.erai of the early astthira of Pe ru have risen to HsMnrMnr Tnlm P I Baker served several terms in the legislature, and in '01 was appointed Agent for the Otoe Indians, but re signed in '64 and went to Idaho or .Montana,, where he became the owu-r i i 'i i'i ' i "Ttffft1i'"f'i YH iv " - er of valuable mining property ; went east to dispose of it, and died in Philadelphia. His son Henry has been working for several years for W. T. Den. "Honest" John Gillespie, the pres ent State Auditor, was a Peruvian. He and his brother William served four years in Company C. of the 1st Nebraska volunteers. They fought as full privates at Donelson and Shi loh, but John was afterwards promo ted to 1st Lieutenant, and when he was mustered out of the service in '65, was elected Territorial Auditor, and has been Territorial and State Auditor up to the present time. Will Gillespie is now living in Missouri. There was a Martin Stoweil living in Peru in the olden time. Martin was a thorough Abolitionist, and quarrel ed with the Republicans because they did' not go-1 lie "wliole hog" on the slavery question. He enlisted iu the Curtis Horse afterwards called the oth Iowa Cavalry and in the Spring of '62, was killed near Paris, Tennes see, being. I believe, the first man in his reginmiS that was killed by the rebels. He was a perfect gentleman. Among the early Peruvians, I recol lect Drs. Neal and Peery, Dan Cole, Uncle Billy Horn, F. L. Prouty, who js a brother-in-law to John Gillespie, and like him a member of Company C, Lorenz Winkelman, another Com pany C man, and last but not least, the Peru correspondent of the Ad vektisku. The country west and south-west of Peru, was settled as rapidly, perhaps more rapidly than other parts of the County. Among others were several brothers named Bean. George Bean was elected to the Legislature in 'GO, and though not a prominent mem ber, was always iu his place-. After the war broke out, I heard nothing of George until the Autumn of 'G4 when I saw him marching at the head of a company of the 44th Missouri Infant ry. A week afterwards came news of the terrible battle at Franklin, Ten nessee, and in the long list of killed was the name of 1st sergeant George Bean. There was four brothers, and in three or four years they all met sudden deaths, though George was the onlv one killed in battle. ST. LOUIS AND TIIE NORTI11YEST. The Nebraska delegates wero yes terday warmly welcomed by a large number of our merchante on Change. Among other speakers, ex-Go v. Siuni ders, of Nebraska, pointed.y stated the views of himself and his associ ates; they ask no donations or subsidy, but come as business-men, with a bus iness proposal. Their proposition is an alternate one, and they are ready to pay or receipt. They will raise ?o OtiU per m-ileof the road, and hand it as a bonus to St. Louis representatives who will build and own the road or, they agree to build and own tho road for the same bonus from St. Louis n:e:i It is seldom that genti'-emen of tail iwad enterprise come to our city with this square talk, and we assume it to be morally impossible that neither al ternative of the proposition will be accepted. it is not only of creat interest to St. Louis to have com j dote railroad com munication with Omaha, but to se cure its control by St. Louis capital. Besides giving us more direct connec tion with the Pacific States by the Union Pacific, it would enable us to complete advantageously for tlie trade of Nebraska Dacota, Wyoming, Mon tana and Idaho ; a region that in 1S(50 had hutoo,G3S inhabitants-., which the census of 1S70 showed to hate 1S1, SSW, which cannot now have less than 215,000, and in 1SS0 will have some 300,000. Whatever is done should keep the future in sight. Heretofore St. Louis men have too ofv en contented themselves with saying: "Well, if railroads are built, they wilHj benefit us, whoever owns them." That has proved a great blunder. We now see a vast and multiplying trade passing over roads directly con- neoting with St. Louis, crossing the ivortHern portion of our State, to Chi cago and the East. JFreigl taudolhtr discriminations of disastrous ' etiect have been made against St Louis, ami will lec-as long as she leaves oth.-r cit ies to'bQild and own the roads which shotfcid'be her own. The focce of these- .aavprseiniiuences can only be eslima- Jyd-yT?n we remember that for many nrs tTnTi-Lvers gave u.s the undispu ted traffic oni Northwest, so that the railroad era ftgpud us already at possession, and with abundant oppor tunities for retaining that advantage, had they been improved. We notice that Mayor Brown advic es the Nebraska gentlemen to-go and raise their $-3000 per mile, which would suffice to grade and tie the road ; then issue bonds secured by the outlay, in order to either iron or equip the road, or to iron it merely, and- lease it to some other road to operate it;. J"his strikes us as nearly eouiva- klesit to saying : "Gentlemen, you irced not have come to St. Louis. You frai.'-e money enough to lay the foundations, and then mortgaged hem to com piece- the work. Do no, and when you have borne the burdens we will help you enjoy the advantages." Probably, however, the implication is that St. Louis men will take the bonds ; but we trust a safer and better conclusion than the one thus suggest ed will be reached. It hould be. above all things else, a conclusion sat isfactory to the delegates from Ne braska and one whose announcement to the people of Nebraska and the Northwest will quicken and not chill their regard for St. Louis. Either the North Mo. road or Ihi Missouri Pacific should cheerfully lake the offered bonus of $-5000 per mile to build and own the new line. The latter has already its line com pleted to Atchison, and should be in terested in extending it to Omaha, and even protracting it northward to Sioux City. This whole extension for some great road will one day be made and sagacity should, it seems to us, prompt the iMissoun rueific to seize the present opportunity. Under all the circumstances, the people of St. Louis have a right to look to that company to protect and promote ihe- welfare of the city by accepting the nrst proposition oi the Nebraska gen tlemen.
