Written for the Advertiser. JOHN A. JDIX. All honor to the noble, the true and the brave. Whom corruption's friends dare not ap proach ; Let his name be enrolled in the pases of fame As sacred beyond reproach. Through the fierce, long struggle that's past. He ever was steady and true. And where others' nworils were willing to strike. His hands were ready to do. Whether serving In public or private life, On thoC'iii.Iiii I t Jiinint Buchanan; In secessions hot fires; In war.sfearful strife. His honesty decern well you can. He asked not reward to stimulate thought Or quicken tho powers of his might. For well he knew that the blessings of God Were on those who dared to do right. O shame on you men of the present ilay; You Congressmen who have just robbed The much-burdened people the treasury; 0 ! how your hands are bedaubed. Think you If our hero had been In the chair, That your act would over been approveil ; I fancy In vain would you plead for his sanc tion, 'Till heaven and earth had been moved. "If any man ever atti-mpts to haul down The American Hag (said lie not?) Let his carcass lie low in a traitor's grave; Let the Rebel be killed on the spot." Or if any man strikesat thellfe of his neigh bor. Or dare take the life of a stranger, Let that man know that justice demands That h s own life bo In danger. Then since Greeley has gone to render ac couirt, To the judge of the quick and the dettl; And Grant has fallen anil taken with him, . His little fifty thousand to bed. And Congress Is rotten from first to last; Ti.elr acts an abomination ; 'Tis time we werelookingfor an honest man For a future nomination. Then let it be inscribed on our banners at once, For the jear eighteen seventy .six We'll vote for the man who could never be bought For the honest old John A. Dir. N. J. We pive plaoe to the above, ap proving half of it and disapproving the other half. Jno. A Dix is wor thy of all praise, but President Grant i- not a worthy subject of condemna tion. Our correspondent lines not ap pear to distinguish any difierence be tween members of ContrresM votinjr themselves additional pay for woik already performed under contract. and the President accepting a con tract for work to be performed, for be it understood, in the President's case the Increase of salary is not retroac tive. Atiain, all Washington corres pondents agree in that the President wis opposed to the entire scheme, but it having been attached to the general appropriation bill, at the last hour of the session, he concluded it were bet ter to .sign it than call an extra ses sion of Congress, which, in case of iiis veto, .vould have been imperative ami involve4l more expense than that sought to be avoidetl. Let the respon sibility 4if t he iniquitous measure re-t where it properly belongs, but do not attempt to saddle it upon one who i innocent of blame in the premises. Ed. Advertiser. PLATTSMOUTH. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. As far as I can learn, the people of Brownville know very little about Plattsmouth, and they never will know much about it until brought in to railroad communication with it When that will be, is beyond the knowledge of the oldest citizen. When it shall be accomplished a bet ter day will dawn upon eastern Ne braska. For, whoever undertakes the journey from Brownville to Platts mouth or to any other place in Ne braska, is soon convinced of the need ofimproveinent in the mode of travel. Plattsmouth is fifty five miles d.s tant from Brownville accoiding to the nrinted card.. But this d .stance trrows conidrabIy greater if we count twentv-five mile- from Brown ville to Phelps, (and that -seem- t4 be no extravagant estimate on a cold, chilly rainy day when ti.e wheels of the "fusM fink to the huh into the mini.) Then, if the train from St. Joe happens to be an Inuir or imire be hind time, we realize that Platls mouth is about 50!) miles from Pacific Junction, although they tell us it i btit four miles. The "bobtail" which wags from said Junction to the Mis souri River, is off on time and waits for no man even when the St. Joe train is in sight, and passengers alight from the southern train, to find that they must wait until 9 o'cl ck next morning to get to Plattsmouth, that is If they have arrived on the evening train. Well, having at last arrived on the eastern bank of the Missouri River at a point just opposite the mouth of the Platte, we find the boat awaiting us, and we are notified to change for the transfer. Ft eight cars are transfered, buf passenger cars are not. As the boot starts ofr toward the south we have an extended view of the mouth of the Plutte which stretches across a dis tance of two or three miles. This stream must have plenty of "grit in it- teeth." for It always has a mouth ful of sand which it kepps spitting out into the Missouri. And as a conse quence, the river opposite Platt.s mouth, displays numerous large sand bars above the s irface. nnd the ferry boat is obliged to turn hither atid thither and to turn completely around in some places in order to keep afloat. The B. & M. transfer is not a public ferry, and it accommodates only pas sengers over the B c M. road. The public ferry is conducted from East Plattsmouth and comes up from the southward. A rririnif at rli lnd5no ni tho ""Cp- o o hrnskn. tsldp WPSfPtl from fllir T fe M OniSKU blUB, WUiep ITUUl OUf . 4K U. boat and ascend a flight of steps and land at the depot which Is a large, long narrow frame building, the northern half of which is occupied with freight. We go southward about two squares and turn up Main street and see the town. We find it some what larger than ..rownville, and much more conveniently located for the bluffs are not more than half as high or steep They rise with a grad ual ascent, and excavature in build ing is not as tine as at Brownville, and there are not as many good resi dences. We look in vain for a prom inent school building such as consti tutes the pride of our place. The foundation for one is laid. There are four ward schools each held in a small house. As to the m rits of the schools f am not able to express an opinion, ifbt having visited them, or heard any competent person give his opin ion. We find eight churches, none of them very large or nourishing. The court house is a poornftair. The hotels appear well on the out side, saloons are plenty, business ap pears.jictive. The B. & M. company have shop. located at this point, and the I inn of machinery gives some vigor to the atmosphere'of labor. We find almost every street in pos session of a good sidewalk. In some particulars, Plattsmouth is far ahead of Brownville. With equal railroad facilities, Brownville would take the lead. Visitors all speak of our town as a place where they have a good time, in a social point of view. We have a class of people whose inteli genec it. much above the average, and it is not confined to a few. Our schools rank as first chiss. We can rejoice in the possession of an excel lent ferry the best on the Missouri. . We lack public spirit. We want enterprise. We must make stronger effort to secure advantages of com munication with the other parts of the State, and with the east. Not un til then can we hope to grow and ex cel.

There Is nothing new in the situation here in regard to the matter. The Government policy in regard to the treatment of the Indians is still vig orously discussed. The inflamed feel ing is subsiding as a clearer compre hension of what is meant by the peace policy prevails In view of the fact that this policy is being condemned by many who apparently do not know what it means, your correspondent to day addressed a suggestion to the Se cretary of the Interior, and received the interesting and important reply which is given below. The corres pondence as follows : Washington, April 15. 1S73. Hon. C. Delano, Secretary of the In terior. Dear Sir : The excitemeui and ex asperation of the public mind, grow ing out of the treachery of the Modocs, which resulted in the deatli of Gen. Canity and Commissioner Thomas, and the serious, if not fatal, wound ing of Commissioner Meacham, has lef, and will continue to lead, to se vere criticisms on what is termed the 'Peace policy." Many observations have been, and are likely hereafter to be made, of a general nuture, con demning that which is not perhaps, well understood, and expressing gen eral opinions in regard to a subject upon which the parlies making such utterances are not as well informed as they should be. All this however, is so natural as to be anticipated, and it must be received with patience and forbearance by those who take a cal mer view of the subject, and who ought to comprehend it better than many who are so free in their expres sions of opinion. Would it not be well however to enable the public to unib'rstand anew and distinctly what is meant by the "peace policy." what Its objects are, and how it is proposed to attain them by executive and leg islative act'on. I have the honor to remain, very re spectfully, your obedient servant. J. L. CltOl'NSE. TNTrTtmn Department. 1 Washington, April 12. ISTo. J. L. Crounse, Esq. : Dear Sir : Your letter of this date suggesting some utterance from me, at the present moment, as to the plan purposed and scope of the Indian pol icy ot the department, which has pop lu'arly and properly become known as the "peace policy," is before me. It ought not to be neces-ary, and so far as the purpose 4,f the Government are concerned it is not, to enter upon any fresh elucidation of what is meant by this policy, but as the pub lic mind is sought to be confused, if not inflamed, by the criticisms ami misrepresentations to which you al lude, as to the real purpose anima ting the Government In its course to wanis the Indian tribes, I venture to present, briefly as I may, and distinct ly as pobibIe, an answer to your in quiries. First The 'pence policy" proposed to place the Indians upon reserva tions as rapidly as possible, where they .an be provided for in. such man ner as the dictates of humanity and and Christian civilization require. Being thus placed upon reservations they will be removed from such con tiguity to our frontier settlements as otherwise will lead, necessarily, to frequent outrages, and disturbances of the public peace. On these reser vations they can be taught, as fast as possible, the arts of agriculture and such pursuits as are incident to civili zation, though the aid of the Christian organizations of the country now en gaged in this work, acting in harmo ny with the federal government. Their intellectual, moral, ami religl gious cultuie can be prosecuted, .nd thus it is hoped that humanity and kindness may take the place of barbarity and cruelty. If a majoiity of the people of the United States pre fer extermination to the course here indicated, and desire to see hor rors and bloodshed ami loss of life among both white and Indians inci dent to the policy of extermination, then it is well eneiigh to denounce in vague ami general if not unmeaning teims the Quaker-Policy." S-cond Whenever it -hall be found that any tribe or band of Indians per sistently refuse to go upon a reserva tion, and determine to continue their nomadic habits, accompanied with depredations and outrages upon our frontier settlements, then it is the policy of the President, to treat such hatnior tribe with all needed severity to punish them for their outrages ac cording to their merits, and thus teach them that it is better to follow the advice of the Government and go upon resvervations and become civil ixed. rather than to continue their na tive habits and practices, The recent conduct of the Modoc- will furnish to the Government an example for the treatment of such tribes and band as refuse to acept the benevolent pnrpo-e of what is termed the "Quaker policy " There may be some so impte.ed with the necessity of non-residence as to object to the punishment of Indians under the circumstance.-la-t referred to. If there be any such they will, I feel assured, find opportunity for complaining be-cati-e the policy Is not peaceable enough. . . . Third It is the determination of this policy to see that all supplies, of every kind and nature, whether for food or clothing, purchased for such Indians a- are upon reservations and remain at peace, are procured at reas onable prices, so that the Indians inerifingf these sunplies may recei ve the same without having the funds of the Government squandered in their purchase. If there be any whose vo cation may be interrupted by being deprived of the profits which specula tion or peculati4n may have hereto fore afforded in the purchases for In dians, such per.-ons will find abund ent reason to complain, because the "Quaker policy" deprives them of the opportunity of gains and profits here tofore enjoyed in this business. Fourth It is the purpose of the Government, as fast as possible, though the instrumentality and ad vice of the, religious organizations.and by all other means within Its power, to procure competent, upright, faith ful, moral and religious agents to care for the Indians that go upon reserva tions, to di-tribute the goods and pro visions that are purchased for them bv them by the benex'olence of the Government to aid in their intellect ual. moral, and religious culture, and I thus to assist in the great work of hu - manity and benevolence which the peace policy means. If there fie any . . at 1 P " who are thusdeurived of Government position and offices that have hitherto afforded a large profit without labor, ami without merit, and who are to he prevented in the future from defraud ing Indians for their own personal gain, those persons may complain of the "Quaker policy" anil demand ex termination. Fifth It is the purpose of the peace policy to establish schols, and thro' the instrumentality of the Christian organizations. acting in harmony with the Government, as fast as possible to build up churches and organize Sab bath schools, whereby these savages may be taught a better way of life than they have hitherto pursued, and be made to umlerstand the comforts and benefits of a Christian civilization and thus 'be prepared ultimately to become citizens of this great nation. These I understand to be the pur poses of the President's peace policy, and this seems to be the occasion when it ought to be so studied as to understood; for I believe that, when understood, there are few American citizens who wid find the heart to con demn it. I also feel at libertj to say, that as here explained, it has the ap probation of every member of the President's Cabinet, and that the Sec retary of War and the Secretary of the Interior will hereafter, as they have heretofore, act in perfect accord and with perfect sincerity in endeav oring fully and completely to carry out and execute this policy. Very respectfully yours, t C. Delano. Jane Eliza's Wedding Tower." .From the Cincinnati Times and Chronicle. John Henry's farm jined ours wal, not exactly, either, for a piece of land, shaped for the world like asmoothin' iron, that didn't belong to nolmdy, run down by our backwoods pastur', and kind o' divided us off like. Pap once give me three calves for my very own, and I riz the trouble some critters all myself. Now, John Henry had his eye on them cows, and he was continually worryin' me to. ell 'em. One evenin' last summer I was settin' in thebarn-yard milkin', when who should I see comin' 'cross lots but John. He shit d up to where I was (John allers had a way of shyin' up to you like a skeery boss), tuk an other milkln'-stool off the fence, ask ed for a bucket, and went to work milkin1. (John Henry allers was a good clever soul.) Finally bespoke out: "Jane Eliza," says he, "haven't I asked 3011 six times ef 3011 wouldn't sell me them cows o' 3011 r'n?" "Yes," saj's I, "3ou hev; and half a dozen times I've told 3ou the3 was not for sale." "Then," sa3s he, "ni3 mind's made up." "Well," sa3s I, "see that it's not too thin, and will stand the fire, for, next to well-made-up bread, II well-made-up mind is a thing to be desired." 'Then'' sa' John, "I've determined that If 3011 won't sell I'll tnarr3 3011, for hev them cows I will." Ijistgotup from 1113 milkin' stool, walked over to John Henry and sa3s: "Them cows and me are both thine;" and the fool-killer was so tickled he kicked over the bucket of milk, and skeered the cows till the3 liked never to ha-e stopped runuin'. So; this spring we was married; and arter havin several dances in the barn and a tremenjous big infair at hi- uncle's, I said to him, "John Henrys 3'011've been purty lucl.3 the past 3ear. Let's go on a bridal tower." "No, 3'ou don't," sez John ; "3-011 don't get me on no towers I'd be sure to git light-headed and fall off. Besides, look at the Tower of Babble, we " "Oh, pshaw! John," sa3s I, interruptin' him, 3011 're green. I mean a long journey like 'Squire Steb bins' darter took when she married thatsewin' machine agent " "Wal, where'll we go?" says John; "I'll hitch up the waggin' and wo can st irt bright and airl3." "Oh, I dont mean a little, short ride," si3s I, "but a long jounie3 on the railroad. We've never, both of us, been out.-ide these Illinoy prairies, and it's time we saw somethin' of the world. 'Squire Steb bins' darter went to Niagery Fall-, and there's where I'd like to go." "Now. where in thunder's NIggerv Fall- ?" says J4ihn. "Why, la. don't 3ou know?" sa3s I. "Why, NIager3 Falls is sitovated wli3, OI course, the3 is" ami do 3-011 know for the life of me I couldn't tell where the3 was. but I asked the 'Squire next day and he told us jist how to git there. I know people allers carries baggage with 'em, so I tuk a long poke and put in it m3' best dress made out o' one of dead granii3's black silks and John's other tow shirt, for I didn't know how long we might" be gone. Then I tigged out pur.3 ga3 as was becomin' a bride. I was proud of mv bonnet, ami knew it was all right, 'cause Cu.in Maria lives In the ei.3, and sent it to me 8 or 10 3ears ago. They called itask--seaper, and there was nigh unto half a peck of flowers reposed in and around the top of it. I got some white ribbon and trimmed it over, to look-bride-like. Then I put on m3 short, red lins?3 woo!se dress to travel in, and tuk mother's white crape shawl over 103 arm. John wore hi- best blue jeans coat and pants, and his red and eller plaid litisey vest, and a bran -new broad-brimmed white hat. We tuk the stage-coach in the mornin' and rode nearly- all day. I wa3 ptnty tired, for 3011 see I had to .......,.v. n .. :.. ,. i..,,... . ..r .iiij.ji.il im me nine i.j rr-j me nil in the stage from takin1 off a quarter section of m3 bonnet. We hadn't long to wait afore the railroad came in sight. But when she run snortln' up toward us my John Henry-just lit out in a bee line for Mudtown. I rushed after him, ami got him t.3- the collar, and me and another man ex ceeded in gettin' him on the stoop of one of the railroads ju-t as the thing started. We had some truhble findin' a teat, but arter awhile got a bench all to ourselves, and sot the poke and umbrellar up between us, for we'd heard about pickpockets. Then, for the first time, I looked out of the win der. "Saint-.- preserve us," ns granny used to say. "Mercy sakes," I cried John Henrv. don't vou see what's .,: .o.f the matter?' 'Why. look at that clothes line on stilts, goln' faster past this winder than greasel lightnin', and look at the trees jinin' hands and runnin' like mad. and the fences jist fly in I1 'Oh, John ! it's a virago, or a earth cano. or a vojquake, or somethin' like you read about 'Calm yourself, good friend" said a man in "front, hn looked like a preacher. 'It Is only the car that is moving, while the objects 3-011 men tion are stationary. Thu, often, when w are rushing madlv to de struction, we fondly fancy ourselves fobe standing still and oursurround- ing friends to be swiftly passing ' Here he sighed, and tuk out his watch to se? how long we hail to live, 1 1 reckon. I jist started for the other eemi of the car. savin', 'You cafi a! go to destruction for me : I'm goln' to -. .T 0 alight and I did. I lit right head foremost Into John's arms and the poke. Ef It hadn't been for the yield in' contents of that poke, my bo. met would have been eternally ruined. After that I sot still all night, not sleepin' fast, but dozin on John's shoulder. Next mornin' a man poked his head in at the door and yelled 'Buffalo.' 'Where?' says I, poppin' np my heaiL 'Is it a whole drove of 'em ? John, lon't 3ou wish you'd broughR 3'our gun?' 'Jane Eliza says he, 'you're dreamin'. Don't 3011 know this is the town of Buffalo, where we change keers?' What fur?' says I; "these keers are good enough for me But bv this time John had me and the baggage ilragged after the crowd that was pourin' out onto the stoop. We follered a man who said he was goin' to the Falls, and after a short ride we got to our predestination. The folks must have knowed we was a. bridal couple, 'cause the3 paid us so much detention. One fefler seized my poke, hut I held on to it manfully, nnd if it hadn't been made of strong, unbleached muslin, it would have got tore, certain. John had to nearl3" fight 'em off with his cotton umbrel lar, and finally they got mo and 1113' poke in one kerriage nnd John and his umbrellar hi another. I jisfc waved my hand to him in a last fare well, and sunk back helpless, think in' IM never see him again. John saw me, anil he jist opened his um brellar right through the winder, and rolled out so quick that the man on top never seen him, but drove on In nercently. So John stopped the fel ler that was drivin' me, and sa3s ho to him : I'm much obliged to yon for yonr contention ; but his Is 1113 Jane Eliza, and I'd like to inquire where 3ou bo gonr. To tho International said the man. 'O, hang 3'our infernalnation I' said John. 'We cum tosee Niggery Falls 'But we want somethin' to eat I whispered. Then John said, 'Do you know any tavern about where we could gitlodg in' and vittals while we stay here?' 'I'm 3our man sal i tho driver: 'jump 111 'He's rale clever now, ain't he?' says I. 'Yes say-s John, 'but I'm afeard he'll suspect us to givtr him siuhin' 'Well sa39 I, 'you can afford to be liberal; hand him a quarter when we git out 'No sn39 John, a dime Ml do; 'tain't wuth so much But ef you'll believe my racket, that scoundrel mnde us pay five dollars for ridln' not further than a squirrel could jump. Wc went in to a big room, and I sot down to watch the poke while John welit to git a room. I wish 3'ou could have seen the queer-looking females that come in there. Every one of 'em had humps on their backs, and had their hair drawn up on top of their heads like a Indian had concluded to scalp 'em and then changed his mind, while more flounces and flumdoodles than I-tciuld count kivered their skirts, and the way the dry goods lay round on the floor was a sin to thinlc of. You wouldn't have knowed one of 'em had feet. I began to get asham ed of my calf-skin shoes showin' so plain, and jist then I noticed every eye was sot on me like I belonged to Barnum'sshow that come to our town once. Finally, a pert miss, who had enough brass liangin' round her to start a foundry, come up to mo, nnd says, 'How long have you been out of the ark, Mrs. Noah?' 'Long enough to wij.ii I was back again, If every body I meet ha'n't got no more man ners than you, miss said I. TIkj folks around luffed, and that little chit got out of the room quicker'n wink. John come back then, and wo follered the colored man up tlveorsix stairs, till I thought we'd got into tl o garret. But the room was rale nice, and wo excluded to have our grub sent up, so we wouldn't have to go among them hethens. Arter eatln' suthin, wo slipped down stairs, and went out into tho road to look around a spell. Wo hadn't gone a rod afore them kerriage; fellers was arter us, but we didn't get took In this time we ji t walked on and hired u small boy to show ua the Falls. We walked a long ways, and the boy said suddenly, 'There they are and darted off 'Where?' say John Henry. 'I- don't see nothin' but an extrornary big mill dam, that must run a powerful mill 'Oh, pshaw ! John sez I, ' them's Niagery Falls What!' says John. 'I hopo I ain't come all this way, ami paid out enough money to buy a half sec tion of land, just to see a lot of water tumble down over some rocks. Let's go home, Jane Eliza But I wasn't ready. 'They s,.y you can see more if you take a kerriage said I. 'Well said John Henry, sighin', 'Jane Eliza. I'lldoanythlng for you, so here goes and we hailed an open one and got in. This driver was pretty clever, and didn't charge so much. Arter drivin' awhile he stopped and says to us: You are now in the Dominions of Queen Victoria At this John perk ed up a bit (he'd been lookln' as re signed as a Mam led to the slaughter house as the poet says.) nnd said : Where Is the old lady? Trot her out; I'd like to see a live queen 'Why, John I whispered, 'don't you know the Queen lives awav over in Eng land, cross the ocean ? Th.3 is Cana- i t .'., guess Well, how should I Know that we wasn 't In England?' said John. "Pears to me I's gone through enough since I left Mudtown to cross two oceans. I wouldn't be surprised tosee the North Pole stick In' up before me, judgin' from the length we've traveled and he never sabi another word till we got back to the tavern-house. But I've writ enough now, and I'll simply say that we got back to ouC farm, near Mudtown, a leetle wiser., but much poorer, than when we start ed, and ef ever you ketch me goin' on another bridal tower, it MI be when my name's no longer Jane Eliza. When we got home, them there cows had all foundered, and two of em died. Yours, sorrowfully, J an-: Eliza. 1 a. To Fasten a Hop.se.
