TaiTJRSDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1S72.
ST. JOSEPH, MO.
On laet Thursday, on invitation of
brethren of the quill in St. Joe, we
started in company with several ex
"'enrsiouists to visit Tootle's Opera
House, the pride of our neighbor city,
the city called in honor of that
ancient individual who established
t k i a :
-himself as proof against the wiles of
Mrs. Potljihar. Our trip thither was
very agreeable, associated as we were,
with our fellow excursionists, and
Conductor Brown at the helm.
Arriving atSt. Joe. we were met by
the citizens of that hospitable burgh,
and escorted to the Saundera House,
thau which there is no better, east or
west of tho Missouri river. After par
taking of a sumptuous dinner, we set
out on a tour of inspection. Notwith
standing the fact that we were in th
middle of December, we found me
chanics of every class busy at work,
and buildings of all grades in course
of erection.
Two nights before our arrival, Too
tle's Opera House was thrown open to
tho pubjic, the opening and dedi
cating poem being written by our old
. friend and fellow Ink-slinger, Will L.
Visscher, of tho St. Joseph Gazette,
than whom a more talented gentler
man never dished up items.
On Thursday night t.ie Opera House
was filled to overflowing, and Maggie
Mitchell, the "Star" of the evening,
scintillated with amazing brilliancy,
especially so in the estimation of
those who saw "her in "Little Bare
foot," as did the writer, when her
namv was "Mitchell,' and before she
ever saw the man whose name she
now wears, save on the stage.
On Friday we took another stroll
over tho city of St. Joseph, visiting
friends and inspecting the place.
The bridge is nearly completed
which wilt span the river, and,
when finished, will draw to that
point a large trade now diverted
through the tedious transfer.
We like St. Joseph. We esteem her
people, and to the gentlemen of the
Jlerald and Gazette, we can but throw
up tho rim of our tile and &viy,
"thanks, gciitlemen, thanks."
By the way, this reminds us of a
little episode, as Artemus Ward would
call it. In our office is the original
telegram which passed over the wires
from Missouri to Nebraska, framed,
and aB it came from the hand of the
operator in this city, and the pen of
Cundiir, of the St. Joseph" Gazette. It
is in tho following words :
St. Joe, Aug. 20. 1SG0.
It. W. FuRN'AS: We are most hap
py to return your greeting. Tho ther
mometer is at 100 is rising like h J.
You ask the news. Douglas stock
fully up to the thermometer, and ri
sing as rapidly. St. Joe drinks Ne
braska's health.
Piours & Cundifp,
Editors Gazette.
Since then our friend of the Gazette
ha3 seen the thermometer rise to 100,
but the Democratic thermometer has
kept falling until it has dropped
through the socket and out of sight.
Still CuudiiT lives and appears happy.
Long may he live and forever with
stand political grief.
Indiana is about passing a bill which
should be adopted by every State in
the Union. It is to the effect that
whenever an accused person is ac
quitted upon the plea of temporary
insanity, the judge of the court in
which said acquittal takes place-shall
assign him to a lunatic asylum for a
term of years proportionate to the
enormity of the crime committed. In
a murder case tho assignment would
of course be for life. So many mur
derers havo been acquitted of late
years and turned loose upon society
on the specious plea of temporary or
emotional insanity that tiie people
are awakening to a sense of alarm,
and tho above remedy appears to fit
the disease.
On Monday of last week, Senator
Sherman reported back from the com
mittee on Finance, a bill to prohibit
the manufacture, importation, and
sale of intoxicating liquors as a bev
erage in the Tarrilprieof the United
States and in the District of Colum
bia, with a large number of petitions
nnd memorials on the same subject.
Tho Committee on Finance were of
the opinion that the subject ought to
be referred to some other committee.
After several dilator motions.the bill
was laid on the table, with the under
standing that some other bill of like
character would be presented to the
Senate, and n vote insisted upon.
Our readers will all remember that
when the Omaha Herald was em
ployed in writing articles reflecting
upon the honor and honesty of Col.
Furnas, it was also engaged in call
ing upon Hon. E. E. Cunningham to
"come into court," and prove that he
was not a scoundrel and publicswind-
Icr. Tho charges preferred by the
Herald were last week investigated by
the "U.S. Grand Jury, and by that
body declared to have no foundation
in fact. And now, the Herald has
nothing to say by way of retraction.
Said editor should be legally dealt
with, as no gentleman's character is
proof against his malignant pen.
By the Congressional Globe, of the
11th, we find that Senator Tipton is r.
member of the Committee on Public
Lands, and Senator Hitchcock on
Committee on District of Columbia
Territories, and Pacific R. R., while
jn the House Tafle is Chairman of
the Committee on Territories. Judge
Crounse does not take his seat until a
year from this winter unless a special
session of the newly elected Congress
bo called after the 4th of March next,
which event is improbable.
Representative Taffe has introduced
a bill in Congress, authorizing the
.construction of a bndco across the
li uri river at Sioux City.

Remedy Womc Than tlic Disease.
We c'm the following from the last
Nebraska City JSreivs:
Yesterday we reported the death of
seven horses belonging to Mr. Alley,
caused by his giving them bichromate
of potash. We learn to-day that none
of his horses were sick with the "ep
izootic," but lie was afraid they would
be, and therefore gave them the ter
rible doso to prevent the disease. Ten
more of them were still alive this,
morning, but in danger of dying any
hour from the effects of the mistaken
preventative. It is a dear-bought
piece of experience, and should bo a
warning to everybody not to. be scared
by false alarms or make haste to try
unknown remedies or preventatives.
The late fire in New York City,
through which tho lives of some ten
or twelve women were- sacrificed, is
creating general attention. It is
thought by some that tho fire was
caused through the operations of an
organized body of "Internationalists,"
whoso object appears to be the-destroy-ing
of every architectural exponent
of the richer classes, The idea is a
horrible one, and if fulh discovered,
may lead to terrible results in our na
tional metropolis.
There is said to be a hitch amongst
the stockholders of the New York
Tribune, some of them insisting that
the paper should occupy an independ
ent position, and others that it again
take its position as the leading Re
publican journal of the nation. It is
believed that the latter class will win
and that Schuyler Colfax will be call
ed to the chair of editor-in-chief. We
hope so, for in that case tho Tribune
would soon resume its wonted power
with and over the people.
The imbroglio at New Orleans still
continues. Warmouth seems bent on
ruling or ruining. We hope he niay
soon reach the end of his tether, and
take his earned position in the Louisi

Dear Major: Agreeable to prom-
j lse, I sit down to inform ou of my
(safe arrival at home In old-Licking.
Yfc
jy
f back
had been nearly five years since
first visit to Nebraska, and I look
back to ihat time with mingled emo-
tions,of sadness and pleasure sadness.
companied meat that time, and whom
I left there in hopes that the superior
elimate of Nebraska would prove ben
eficial, shortly afterward died-, and
whose angelic spirit returned to She
God who gave it, but whose body lies
at rest in your beautiful. cemetery.
Sad to think that on this my second
visit, I could see only the resting
place of that favorite sister, whom. I
last left in life, cheerful and hopeful
of a long and pleasant future. But
looking back with pleasant thoughts,
and kindly feelings towards those of
your people who extended to us their
kind sympathy and assistance, and
who did all that kind hearts and wi.
ling hands could do to alleviate the
sufferings of that slater until the end
came. Nor has the high Vegard I
then entertained for Brownville been
lessened by the universal kindness
and hospitality shown me by many of
its citizens while awaiting the return
of ary brother from the South, and
during my whole stay. To several of
your citizens I am under especial ob
ligations, and they will ever be re
membered with gratitude, and the
kindest wishes for their health, wealth
and future happinesss.
During my stay I had occasion to
visit Tecumseh, and was astonished
at the settlements and improvements
made in tho past five years. Five
years ago the country between Brown
ville and Tecumseh was but sparsely
settled. The nearest railroads were at
Omaha and St. Joseph. Now the
country is quite thickly settled, and
railroad facilities are reasonably good
throughout eastern Nebraska, and I
should judge somewhat in advance of
the real necessities of the country.
Nebraska certainly shows evidence of
a prosperity unrivalled in the history
of the western States. None of her
sister States can show a greater ad
vancement in material wealth, a bet
ter soil, a hardier, healthier, more
hospitable and intelligent people, and
with everything indicative of being,
ere long, a great and powerful com
monwealth. I arrived at home Saturday last.
Had a very pleasant trip, and splen
did weather. I came via Red Oak
Junction, B. & M. and T. B. & W.
Railroads, which route, for ease and
comfort, good accommodations, and
kind and obliging conductors, I would
recommend all persons to take, going
to or from western Iowa, Missouri and
Nebraska. Stopped in Champaign,
Illinois, one day; found about four
inches of snow there, but none a few
miles either east or west of that point.
Met with many kindly greetings
on my return. Many questions are
asked about yourself and Eaton. I
tell one and all that you look well,
are well, and are doing well ; and that
yon are (as Patent Right men say)
"giving universal satisfaction," and
getting rich, as every man deserves to
who leaves the solid comforts of their
old homes with the hopes o( benefic
ial results to themselves, and in assis
ting to build up the great west, and
extending the "Star of Empire."
I presume 3'our ice bridge has either
given way, or is by this time much
stronger, as the weather is much cold
er at this writing. I hope you have a
natural bridge of sufficient strength
to cross the iron for the B. Ft. K. &
P. It. R., and that ere the ides of
March, Brownville and Tecumseh
may clasp hands across the "Muddy
chasm," and the "Lightfoot" be the
first to carry friendly greeting of an
accomplished bond of union between
Brownville, tho capital of Nemaha,
and Tecumseh, the capital of John
son. Well, I am again regularly taking
my hash with Mnj. (?) Bob Lansing,
of tho "Lansing House," and al
though Bob get3 us up a good square
meal, as you probably "know how it
is yourself," I have no complaint to
make of your first-class hotel, the
"Union," and Geo. Daugherty, for
George treated me "tip top," and I
enjoyed his 'outfit" (as Dr. Holliday
would say) very much during my
stay of eight days, and can conscien
oiously recommend George as one who
"knows how to keep a hotel," and the
"Union" as a place for a hungry mor
tal to get his satisfaction.
I must close this already too long
epistle, wishing you all a "Merry
Christmas" and a "Happy New
Year," and when these davs come
round, I will remember Jo. Jefferson's
toast, and drink "To the health of
the good people of Brownville and
their families." "May they all live
long and prosper."
Yours truly,
W. E. Atkinson.
A Comparison JCetivcen tlic two Grent
American Fires.
Now that the full details of the
Boston fire have reached us, a com
parison with that of Chicaco will be
of interest. The Chicago fire lasted
27 hours, destroying property to the
amount of S193.S00.0U0, $33,000,000 of
which was in buildings, and $143,000,
000 in merchandise and personal ef
fects. The conflagration extended
some four miles in length, and an av
erage of two-thirds of a mile in width,
covering an area of 212-1 acres, and de
stroying 17.450 buildings. There was
$100000,000 of insurance en the lost
property, of which $37,000,000 have
been paid, and, unless a suspension of
companies in consequence of the new
calamity interferes, $12,000,000 more
will be forthcoming.
The Boston fire comes second in
magnitude of any that have occurred
in tho United States. It covers some
05 acres, destro3'ing a buildings with
in an area of Go acres. The total loss
was about $93,000,000, or not quite
half that of Chicago. Upon this
there is Insurance to the amount of
$50,000,000, of which probably $30,
000,000 will be paid.
As to consequent suffering, and in
terference with the business of life,
tho Boston fire is far in the back
ground. The fact that few or no pri
vate dwellings were burned, no. hotels,
but three banks, two newspaper offi
ces, and no water works, rendered
the amount of individual suffering
incomparably less. Moreover, Bos
ton, with its vast deposits of ready
mone', can obliterate the last vestige
of the calamity, without a fourth of
the difficulties that oppressed Chicago.

Sir :. Did you observe an'd read a
communication in th4 Democrat of
last week over the signjtfure of Wm.
Bagley? Did you thine Mr. Bagley
wrote it? Very few didbecause it
vv-as too inconsistent vith his well
f known record. In speaking of the
Presidential election he if untitle to say
"Despite our efforts we are 'beaten."
Mr. Bagley voted for, Gea. Grant and
of course would notusesach language
as above quoted. Mr. Bagley is made
to say, "A majority voto-forthe.' man
of passion, for the fast horse1 gift tak
er and bull pup fancier, R3. dictator."
Mr. Baclev would not use such lan
guage in writing about Gen. Grant,
after voting for him.' Mr. Bagley is
made to say that "Democrats would
not vote for men of , such .'damaging
record as Grant or Greeley," and so
staid at home ; and -a little further on
lie is made to-use the expression, that
"the names of the candidates o onr
party were synonyms of victory."
Certainly Mr. Bagley would not as
sert that the name of a man with a
damaging record would be a synonym
of victory. Has Mr. Bagley such a
spite agaiust P. M. Martin, of Peru,
and Gov. Furnas, of Brownville, as
that communication indicates? Does
he like that inimitable Col. TI103. J.
Majors so magnificently as he says?
If not, who does? Wlio in our coun
ty lias such likes and dislikes that
would write sucli a letter to j'our co
temporary ? Mr. 2lgly is iine to
say bad things of his intimate friend
Wm. Daily. Do you think he-would
write so about a man he has worked
hard to put in office , Who is there
in our county that would?
HOttACE GUEELEY.
Evermore let the name of Horace
Greeley be spoken with reverence.
In his departure, a friend of human
ity has passed on to higher life. This
ascended brother was an indefatiga
ble aud successful worker for thegood
of his fellow nien.. It would be a
weakness, indeed, for any one to re
member any political difference of
opinion, when weeping at the grave
of this truly great man; and the en
tire nation should mourn at his tomb,
ami the voice of a grateful nation
should go up to the Throne of God,
for giving to the world Horace Gree
ley. If be was not fitted for the Presi
dency of the United States, (and he
was not,) it vas because of the luxu
riant growth of his many virtues, his
too great kind uess of heart, his over
whelming sympathy for men, even
wicked men, before they gave evi
dence of penitence aud reformation,
and commenced to form a higher mor
al character to fit them to be good cit
izens, or be trusted in affairs of State
This boundless benevolence some
times stood in the way of stern, in
flexible, equal justice. His many ex
cellences of heart, which gave such
grandeur of character as an individu
al, nnd-such brilliance as a moral re
former, worked unfavorably for him
as a statesman in critical conditions
of State affairs. He never erred in
heart. "Even his errors leaned to
virtue's side." Perhaps the most ap
propriate, and comprehensive eulogy
which could be given to his memory,
would be, "Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God."
No one appreciates his worth, and
mourns his departure more than
those who di fie red with him politi
cally. All who love their race, and
are working to elevate it ; and see
the great works to be done, must feel
that a mighty worker for humanity
has passed from earth into tho heav
ens, and if he had failings, each re
former may well measure hisstrength,
and cry out, "Who is sufficient for
these tilings," and "ask wisdom of
God, who giveth liberally, aud up
braideth not."
If it was not the will of the people
to give him the Presidency, it is a
trifling matter compared to the exalt
ed honors to which he is now called.
Itev. E. II. Chapin, whoso beautiful
mind always expresses itself in beau
tiful words, 3nys of him: "The will
of God elects him to f place, from
which all human ones look small and
dim." "It is done," are the last
words of Horace Greeley: How like
the last words of Jesus, "It is finish
ed." Yes, his life work is done. The
warfare is over ; and he conquered;
he triumphed c?er the vices, follies,
and corrupting fashions of the world ;
he was sublime in his simplicity and
integrity. No greater thing can be
said of any one than he has "over
come the world." This can be said
of Horace Greeley, and the Christ
hath said, "Whosoever overcometh
will I give to sit down on. my throne;
even as I have overcome and set down
on my father's throne."

oV th Otoe
In the senate of the United States,
December 11, 1872, Mr. Hitchcock
asked and, by unanimous consent, ob
tained leave to bring in the following
bill ; it was read twice, referred to the
committee on Indian aitairs, and or
dered to be jirinted :
A Bill to provide for the removal of tho Otoe
Indians of Nebraska to the Indian Terri
tory. Whereas, By act of congress ap
proved June tenth, eighteen hundred
and seventy-two, entitled "An act for
the relief of certain tribes of Indians
in the northern superintendency,"
the secretary of the interior was au
thorized to sell a uortion of the lands
of the Otoe Indians, the consent o(
said Indians being first obtained in
open council ; and,
Whereas, Said Otoe Indians have
in council refused to give such con
sent, but have expressed their desire
to sell the whole of said reservation
and to remove to the Indian Territo
ry, and have during tho past season
sent a delegation of said tribe to said
Territory for the purpose of examining-
the country aud selecting for
themselves a home ; and,
Whereas. The cultivation, settle
ment, and improvement of these
lands, and the consequent develop
ment and prosperity of that portion
of the wedt, would be best attained by
giving these lands into the possession
of actual S2ttlers rather thau specula
tors: Therefore,
He it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
Slates of America in Congress assem
bled, That the secretary o the interior
be, and hereby is, authorized to ap
point one or more commissioners,
whose duty it shall be to purchase
said reservation from said Indians at
a price not exceeding one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre; said sum
to be expended, under the direction of
tho secretary of the interior, in re
moving said Indians to their new
home in the Indian Territory, in pro
viding for their immediate wants up
on their arrival there; and the bal
ance of said sum, if there be any re
maining, shall be invested in United
States bonds, to be held In trust for
said Indians by the secretary of the
interior.
Sec. 2. That the secretary of the in
terior, upon the removal of said In
dians, shall cause said leservntion to
be stirvej'ed, sectionized, and subdi
vided in like manner as other lands
of the United States, and shall, after
notice thereof has been published not
less than thirty days in not less than
three newspapers printed and of gen

In accordance with tho provisions of
the homestead and pre-emption laws
of the United States.
Sec. 3. That fhe sum of two hun

Sir: You are already informed of

Baron Schwarz Senbern, the chief
manager, has manifested to the Hon.
John Jay, American Minister at
Vienna, and to the American Com
missioner, a very great desire, repeat
edly expressed, that there should be a
full representation of American Edu
cation in the Exposition.
Indeed his inquiries have reference
to every description of education,
from the nursery to the university
tlie art museum and the public libra
ry : and comprehend questions re
specting such diverse subjects as
school furniture, and other applian

The Secretary of State, and Gen.
Van Buren, who has already commu
nicated with the Governors of the
States upon the subject, have called
the attention of this Bureau to the
importance of aidhig to make this
representation complete.
I need not remind you of the im
portance of having the best plans be
fore us, as wo begin our work. The
time is short, and a3 the surest way of
overcoming successfully all the diffi
culties, it has been decided to solicit
the counsel of the Superintendents of
the several States, and the leading
cities of the Union ; and for that pur
pose I send you this communication,
desiring your presence here, if possi
ble, so as to spend the 13th"day of No
vember In consultation upon the sub
ject. If it is inconvenient for you to
do this, I respoctfullv. but earnestlv.
solicit any suggestions you may have
to make in regard to a plan for carry
ing out most successfully the desire so
widely expressed, of making a fair
representation of American Educa
tional systems, institutions, and aids
to education, at the Vienna Exnni-
tlon. Any aid in perfecting a plan
for this purpose that you can secure
from eminent educators around you,
or from others interested, we shall be
very happy to have the benefit of.
Gen. Van Buren, together with the
other Superintendents above men
tioned, has received a similar invita
tion to meet with you here.
Very Respectfully,
YourOb'tServ't,
John Eaton,
Commissioner.

Nebraska creditably in tle matter (

County Superiatendests aud District . ing to the plans.and specifications to be sean
In consultation with Chancellor
Benton, the following plan was agreed
upon: That we collect photographs
of all the school buildings we can in
the State, giving a short description
of the most important ones. That we
further solicit a few numbers ol every
newspaper and periodical published
in the State, ona nnraber of each to
contain a description of the place in
which it is published, giving especial
ly the main literary features of it.
That we collect, also, a copy of every
catalogue of whatever kind published.
Copies, also, "of the virions reports on
agriculture, &c. That all these, with
any other things, such as plans of
buildings, methods of ventilating,
landscape gardening, models of school
furniture, apparatus, and the like, be
arrauged and classified properly, and
a list made out, and the whole for
warded to Washington as the contri
bation from tho State of Nebraska to
the Vienna Exposition.
1 desire that every county in the
State make some contribution. Let
me suggest that every County Super
intendent take hold of the matter im
mediately, and secure photographs of
as many school buildings as tuey can,
and that a short description be given
of the best buildings, giving the in
ternal arrangements seating, ventil
ation, apparatus, &e. ; the cost of ihe
building, value of site, average price
paid the teachers, numberof scholars
in the district, average attendance,
lentrth of time school is taujrht during
the year, course of study pursued, nd-
vancement of the pupils, methods of
instruction, &c, &c. Let the contri
bution from each county be put up in
good shape, and forwarded to this
office.
Also let the editors of the various
newsnuners throughout the Slate for-
wnnl to this office three numbers of
theirpublicatious, two numbers show
ing the ordinary work of each office,
the third number to be put up in the
best possible style, and the neatest job
capable of being done in each office.
1 I would most respectfully ask for
suggestions from all who feel an in
terest in this matter. Let us counsel
together, that we may by our offer-
tinga do credit to Nebraska.

TyE HAVE cultivated the Cooley Early White
Field Corn lor two year pait, alid have no
hesitancy in pronouncing it superior to anything
we have seen, both as to early maturing and yield.
Tlie following are a few of the testimonials in its
favor, as furnished Mr. Cooley, from whom we ob
tained our&eed.
Tlie New York IIerald,of August ISth, says :
"The cars or Corn received from C C. Cooley.
Manchester, Ohio, are certainly a novelty. Only
think ot new corn, raided in Ohio, ripe enough to
shell aud sell in the New York marker on the 1.-th
of ugust : but such Is the fact. The ears belore iw
are very large with plump grains and soimil cob.
The corn being white, will ulwaysaUdten fourteen
cenLs more per bushel over yellow corn.iu thU
market."
Tho Prairie Farmer of August 20th, says :
"These ears average eleven Indies in length, ami
weigh about thirty ounces each. Ot course tlie cobs
are full of moisture. The korneLs, though of full
size, are not hurd to the cob. but nvntyrcd enough to
withstaiid'injary from, the froti. A.T the stalks of
corn are not so tall as those of other v;irieUs, It can
be planted nearer together."
"Office Manciifsteh Milij?. Aug. 9, 1871.
'I certity thnt on the 7th day of Aug.. 1S71. Mr. C.
C. Cooley, of this place, brought to the Manchester
Mills a lot of "now corn." raised tlie preeiitsensoii.
which I ground into meal. The meat was oftlia
meal was of the U?t quality. Tlris is the earliest I
havuover known neiaconi to be ground, by at least
tiro months. I have been in the millmg'lm-.ines3

"C. C. Oooi.kt : The 'Corn' was planted May 10th ;
