On Monday, December 21st, 1G20, the ship May Flower, with its im mortal freight, arrived upon the rug ged shores of New England, having failed from Plymouth, England, on the lGth day of September previous The Pilgrim Fathers steered their lit tle craft near the foot of a rock, known to this day as "Plymouth Hock," and on landing, although all the surroundings were cheerless and uninviting, the soil being far inferior to that they left behind them hav ing a full knowledge of the fact that no white man inhabited that region of country knelt down, and earnest ly returned thanks to their Creator for His guidance in their cheerless and perilous journey, and invoked His further protection. Rising to their feet, they exercised their talents and strength in providing for them selves comfortable habitations, where they could praise God as seemed to them best, and enjoy the widest lib erty. Such was the germ from which this nation sprung. Can any excel? Can any equal it? Is it to be wonder ed at, taking into consideration the origin, that when their offspring found themselves attached to the government from which their fore fathers lied, they should have broken the chains which held them as de pendants, and in God's name declare that they were entitled to "life, liber ty and the pursuit of happiness?" If such an aricestry is ever disgraced, thejresponsibiliiy will rest upon us. Asa nation we should thank God for our Pilgrim Fathers. It is now 2-52 years since the May Flower, with her 100 passengers, reached the rock-bound coast of New England. The seed they planted has generated until now we number as a nation upwards of 40,000,000 of souls. Our limits have extended from the rock upon which our forefathers landed, until it has leaped mountains, rivers, lakes, hills and valleys from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and is now, in point of location, natural resources, and everything, the envy of the world. Such has been the ra pidity of our growth that with most of us it is not a matter of history, but of experience. During the life-time of most of our readers, 100,000 miles of telegraph wire have been put up and 75,000 miles of rail-road construct ed. Our Pilgrim Fathers have long since gone to their eternal homes our Revolutionary sires have gone to receive their reward, and we are left in command of the glorious legacy bequeathed by them. rlhe Union is a monument of their toll. Rut we will not bo tedious, and in conclusion would offer to our friends who wish us God-speed, the compli ments of the season and hope they may see many renewals of the day. To the ladies (for we know they are our friends) we also tip our tile and trust they will enjoy the festivities of the occasion. OS THE CLOSE OP THE YEAR. 'Tis midnight.

Abolishing the machinery of Presidential Electors, and letting the people vote directly for President and Vice President. 2. Limiting fne President to a sin gle term of (say) six year. 3. Giving alfthe appointed Federal officers a term equal to that of the President, but commencing and end ing at the middle of the Presidential term. This would enable the Presi dent to become acquainted with the merits of each officer, and to decide intelligently whether the public ser vice would be prompted by the re-ap-poiutrnent; and, what is more im portant, it would preclude appoint ments as the mere reward of party service in the elections, which is one of the most corrupting things in our politics. 4. Requiring all the State elections to be held on the same day when the people vote for President, and thereby fjicilitatinir an honest expression of the public judgment, un-iniluenced by the estimation of chances which degrade our Presidential elections to the level of betting on horse races.

Which cause he'd choose, no power could ev er tell. And now none know if he's in heaven, or hell. in the above, we endorse it. We much prefer leaving- the time of ser vice as our forefathers left it, viz: eight years, giving to the people the right to drop him at the expiration of half his term of service. See Jeffer son's works, vol. 1 pageSO, aspublish ed in the Awvkrtiskb a year ago. We said we approved of the above; we ought to say that we approve of it so far as it goes. Rut we give Senator Hitchcock and Representative Tafle, notice right here, that the Republi cans of Nebraska, will not be satis fied with it. During the past.- year, the party in this State has rung, out in clear, distinct and unmistakable tones, their desire that U. S. Senators be elected by the people, aud now that the above proposition is submitted to Congress, the Republicans of Nebras ka will expect an amendment of the character indicated pinned thereto and strenuously advocated by our Senators and Representative. Will the wishes of our people be regarded in this matter? We will see. OKOSVENOIt. "Poor Tom's 'a-cold' or was when living hero, Ilut now his case is qu Jte reversed, we fear. aIOWMIS.

A bill has lately passed the U. S. House of Representatives and is now before tho Senate, which, if passed will give to each soldier who fought for the Starry Ranner in the late war, 1G0 acres of land, free of cost and ex empt from tho uncomfortable provis ion of the preemptor settling upon the land chosen or selected under the bill. A general feeling of satisfac tion, therefore, prevails, amongst the "Roys in Blue,"' and petitions are be ing signed throughout the country praying that said bill pass the Setiate without amendment. We find some The Nemaha Valley Journal is out in a severe article touching the ac tion of the State Roard of Immigra tion, aud its Superintendent, Colonel Noteware. It says that both are hum bugs, the Col. being the most egre gious one of the two. From the late report of the U. S. Grand Jury it is gleaned that 121 ,000 souls have been added to the population of Nebraska during the past two years, to secure which the State has expended an, ap propriation of $15,000, while the R. &, M. R. It. has expended for tho same purpose half a million of dollars and the U. P. It. R., $300,000, as private enterprises. .Yet the State Roard claims all the glory. The Journal calls for the extinguishment of the Col. aud tho Roard lie represents. who would strangle the bill by insist ing that the Government give money in lieu of land. Such an idea is pre posterous aud wanting in patriotic in spiration. Undo Sam, in making this liberal grant, starts out on the hypothesis that his deserving soldiers are poor, and takes this method ;to provide them with homes. He does not propose to pay those of his old aids who are in independent circum stances, money with which to buy libaries or carriage horses, ai.d those of them who are unwilling to take the trouble to select from Uncle Sam's domain 1G0 acres, and lealize money therefrom, are not deserving of the proffered aid. A petition is about being circulated here for soldiers to sign, praying our Senators to vote for said bill, as it came from the House, which will doubtless be generally signed. A Democratic papepcompIainingly eays, "the people of New Orleans have looked upon a good many strange sights, during the last seven years, and they are not through with them yet. The people of Louisiana see cannon planted in the streets of New Orleans, the United States sol diery in possession of the halls of the State Legislature. The government of the United States, through its dis trict judge, decrees who are their po litical masters, and commands their obedienco by bayonets and Gatling guns." Yes, these nre disagreeable facts. But who is to blame? The Demo cratic party? Once New Orleans en joyed peace and prosperity, but under the teachings of Democratic leaders she raised her hand against the gov ernment to which she was indebted for all she was, and now she sutlers the consequences. When she learns to "accept the situation" in good faith and acts accordingly, these "manv strange sights" will disappear, and prosperity again dwell in her borders Not until then. Ne-fol-en- A Sad Circumstance. Under the above heading, the maha Valley Journal gives the lowing particulars of the fatal counter of which we spoke last week: We are informed that a Mr. Blair of Barada precinct, died on Sunday last uuiuiu received some ten or fif. while engaged in u The St. Louis Republican, speak ing censoriously of the effort of the general government to preserve order in Louisiana, asks: "o bayonets think?"

It appears that there had been a difference between the parlies for some lime, and that, at the time the trouble occurred, both par ties happened to meet at S. I.-Dano's in whose house they indulged in some hard words, after which .Mr. Caw started away. Mr. Blair, not being satisfied, followed him. Caw turned upon his pursnerand deali him some blows about the head, which have proved oi a lata! character.

The deceased leaves a large family in an almost destitute condition, ft ......uuKHBiiiormo public to con tribute something for their relief. IMPOUTAXCE OFTIlOItOUGIIBKED BULLS. Men, who have bestowed little thought upon the subject, are not en tirely convinced of the advantage of using thoroughbred bulls only, in ad vancing the quality of their stock, and a little explanation is necesary to enlighten them. In all thorough bred anim.ds, of whatever kind, the good qualities are concenUated. That is to say, they breed alike, through out, from father to son, mother to daughter, and so on down to indefin ite generations. There is unmistaka ble likeness prevailing among them. We have seen that our native cattle are made up of incongruities, in size, suiipe, uuiur nun quality, iSu uni formity of likeness exists among them. Some are good, more of them indifferent, both in appearance and quality. Some of the 'young resem ble the sire, others the dam, and a great many neither, but take the ap pearance of ancestral relatives gener ations back. They have no fixed or permanent character, hut nre an ag gregation of various qualities and blood, pOFSt-ssing (owinir to their mis cellaneous mode ol descent) no partic ular characteristics w hich can be de pended on. It is this uncertainty which detracts from their value. -Use a thoroughbred bull to these miscellaneously-bred cows, however, and his blood in eo Ur,i,Hly i..f....oi into their offspring, by his own fixed characteristics, that his stock at once partake largely of his own quality and appearance. Now, let the full blood of thi bull be repeated in the half-blood heifers, and his blood be comes still stronger in them, and their stock more nearly resembles his blood (there being two cro-es of it In them) than that of their dam, which has one-half the inferior or native blood, and so on to any number of these full bred crosses, until the appearance ol the progeny resembles the thorough blood almost beyond a distinction to the inexperienced eye. On the other hand, among the progeny of the cross breeds of the first generation, or half breeds, some very choice ones will be found partaking largely of tho .quali ties of the sire. An unpracticed breeder may think mat with so promising a calf, a bull may be raised that will answer his pifrpose, and the quality of voting stock from common cows (from which the bull sprung) will be good enough ; and, therefore, he uses him for'breed ing. accordingly, and finds his pro geny in every way inferior, mid won ders why it is so. The reason is plam : this half-breed bull had, in itself, one half the inferior or native blood, which was just as stroncr in him. and as likely to transmit its inferior quali ty through inferior dams, as his own share of the good blood th:t he has drawn from his sire, and thus there is little progress made in improve ment from this mongrel hull. Still, he is better thin the "native" bull, and should be used when a bet ter one cannot be had. The same re sult will occur from breeding these grade animnls among themselves. The same inferior blood is nnife .is likely to strike ot.t among them as the superior, and incongruity appears in their various characteristics, and all higher improvement ceaes. Hence, there is no certainty of con tinuous improvement, otherwise than leave the field, with Col. Gillespie on the right, and Gen. G. W. Gallup on the left ; Col. T. L. P. Defreese at the foot, with Capt. L. C. Guthrie on the right, and Capt. L. C. Simondsouthe left. The immense table was crowded with officers nd soldiers of the Fifti eth Ohio and sister regiments. After the repast, which was all fhat the most fastidious epicure could de sire, was disposed of, the following toast was offered and responded to: 1. By General S. A Strickland "Our dead comradas." Drank -in silence and standing. -fc The closing toast of- the evening was "The President of the United States, our dear and well-beloved commander. General U. S. Grant." Responded to by General S. A. Strickland. It would be utterly impossible to give the beautiful u::d appropriate speech of General Strickland, in re sponse to the above toast, for whenev er the name of Grant was mentioned, che?p after cheer went up from the au dience, so that it was Impossible at times for the speaker to proceed. Gen. Strickland cloned with a haudsnmo tribute to the nation's chief and choice. Then followed the permanent or ganization : President Col. T. L. P. Defrees. Senior Vice-President Capt. L. C. Guthrie. Vice-Preside!. ts Capt. John Cona han, Capt. S. II. Cook. Capt. L. C. Simmons, Sergeant M. Fagin. Secretary Lieut. Archy Stewart. Corresponding Secretary Maj. A. M. Aten.
