By the revenue act of the last pes Fion of the Legislature all taxes levi- : ed prior to the year 1S72 may be re leased by paying the amount of the tax without: interest, penalties or charges-, Before December 1st, 1873. Tn other words, all interest, penalties and charges will be released upon -those delinquent taxes if paid before that time. But the 1st day of December-next is the limit of the probation, ami- thereafter the full amount viusl be paid. A new plan of collection is al so provided for such taxes as remain delinquent after that date. A dupli cate tax list will he filed with the Clerk of the District Court, and at the ensuing term of court, judgment will be rendered against every property owner whose taxes are delinquent, . which judgment will bo a debt of rec ord and a lien upon the lands of the judgment debtor, and the judgment will be collected by the Sheriff by sale of lands as in other cases, and there will be no relief of exemptions, and no stay upon the judgment. In gTiort, lands upon which taxes are de linquent are as certain of being sold nnder the hammer of the Sheriff next spring for taxeB, penalties and eourt costs, as if they were under mortgage. It stands in hand, there fore, that every man upon who?e lands taxes are due that he makes calculation at once to pay them be fore the 1st day of December, if he would save the penalties, interests and the costs of suit, which will be .incurred by sale, and own his land. But aside from this consideration it fs to the Interest of every mrm in the county to come up at once and pay his delinquent taxes, for, were this done in the county and in this city both cowify and city would be out of . debt. Every dollar of indebtedness would be paid, and we would have money in the treasury to go on. Ev erybody admits that. Now, what would be the result? Our taxes here after would befrom thirty to fifty per cent, less than they now are. The deeper wo get into debt the more tax we hftve to pay, is a proposition that every one can understand. "We are glad to notice that the peo ple are awakening upon this subject all over the State, and begin to see the wisdom and the policy of coming to the rescue and paying their taxes, which must ultimately be done.atany rate. In Otoe county and in other places the tax payera are forming a compact to the end that all. shall be 'obliged to pay or none. Those who do pay their taxes under the present regime are paying the taxes of those who do riot, and it Is time that equal ity of payments is enforced. Letrev ery man who does pay his taxes and every man who ha any disposition to do so, take this matter in hand and see that the laws are enforced, and that the relief which is to be gained by.'a prompt payment of all delln que"attflxe3 be realized. MIDDLE MEN. ' "In the sweat of thy faceshalt thou eat bread," was the curse pronounced by the Almighty upon Adam for transgressing the law in the garden of Eden. "While the earth retnain eth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease,,' such was the covenant which God made with Noah immediately after the tlood. Thus, it will be seen that at the creation and at the beginning of the restoration of man upon the earth after the deluge, God laid down the principle of curse and oovenant. that work-, that labor,, should bo the base of society. But we would en quire does anybody suppose that He designed that all should be tillers of the soil? And if all were agricultur ists what would be the condition of Society ? Indeed we have the Word of God, as given us through the bible, that from the earliest days "Middle Men" existed for what are mechanics, la borers and artlzans, but middle men? The father of Christ was a carpenter, several of the Apostles were .fisher men. And right here we are remind ed tha.t then, as now, mean middle men existed. Judas Iscaript was of this character, but we have not read ol his making much out of the mon ey whioh he received for his treach ery. But this is a digression. Be hind that period we read of large and populous cities being built, of merch ants transacting business, and of banksfthen known as "money ex changes." When Solomon was about to build-bis Temple he sent to Hiram, King of Tyro, for material, which Hiram contracted to furnish condi tioned that corn be paid therefor, giv ing as a reason why he preferred corn to money that his people lived upon an island where corn could not be produced, plainly conveying tho idea that his people were not producers, but middlo men. Such as are wrapped up in the idea lint what is known as "middle men" are but. the offshoots of idleness and craftshould learn that "middle men" now, as in all the centuries of the past, are a necessity oven to the farm er. As wo said on a former occasion, as well try to mako three links of sausage and dispense with -a middle link, as to go through the world w.ith tje aid of middle men. We say aid because we mean it in precisely that sense. Why, what 4e a clergyman but a micaie man a middle man standing between the creature and Creator? Wb at are we but a middle man, standing at the thresh hold of the future, and crying back unfolding secrets, to anxious denizens blinded with the glamour of the present.- Now let none misunderstand us. "We nre free to admit that the most ehvfable position, in which a man" nan.bB n'laced is thatof owner of soiL witfi knowledge and inclination to till it. H& theb earns his bread while A nHP,i-pjNWTmj-e uu!a.a u."" -jutAJWA!, . operating as a partner'of and with the' Almighty, the former sowing and the latter maturing. But the world is not adapted to the holding of and providing for all farmers. Other fields offer, for legitimate trade antl all such should stand upon .an equally ty with the agriculturists, norie.above, none below. mM 'jjli i a $-s Now, what the farmer wants la not, more producers but more consumers and they must come through middle mpn. Instead of forcing more men between theplow handle they should use their best endeavors, to establish manufactories, something' which would consume their cereals or cause them to be consumed. Is there a reasoning or reasonable farmer who will or can take issue with us in this position? If there is we will be pleased to bear from him OMAHA HERALD IN A BAD TlX. "Won't Auditor Weston, Gov. Furn as, or some other State -official "rush into print" with a "card" or some thing, and m tice the Omaha Herald t Miller has been pegging away for. n couple of monthspast finding "mare's nests" in relation to public printing, and "hens on" as to ""'nhrands" in the State Board of Agriculture. Last fall he made the same, charges, and when the Board met -at Lincoln in the winter Miller, being himself a member, was present, and Gov. Pum as, President of the Board, put him, Miller, on a committee of investiga tion, he, Miller, had been calling for. The report was made and signed bj' Miller's own hand, showing that Mil ler had before lied. And Miller, like a little man, "fessod up" that he had lied, and slimed and slobbered all over the members of the Board, Gov. Furnas and all. We were present and so wrote home to the Advertis er at the time. Now ho is in a bad way again, and unless somebody no tices him there' will be a ono horse funeral in or about the .Herald :ofiice. Do let some one relieve the poor fel low by noticing him. The "Liberal" T'ntnre. The Springfield Republican Is one of the ablest, most influential and most sensible of the formerly Repub lican papers which supported Mr. Greeley last fall. Upon some recent political, developments it makes the following ppicy comments : The great majority of the Republi cans who voted for Horace Greeley were much too intelligent- for any such idiocy as the resuscitation of the Democratic party. It is equally a misrepresentation to speak of those voters as having deliberately underta ken to found a new political organi zation the 'Liberal Republican par ty .' It is true that some of Mr. Gree ley's friends In the press were foolish- enough to use tho phrase and to believe, that it stood for a political fact, or, at any rate, for a political probability. It is also true that Mr. Greeley was unfortunate enough to be supported by a few not very "repu table persons partisans by nature and retail by politicians by trade. The moment these persons found them selvesfor the firet time in their lives in the open air, without a par ty roof over their heads, they fell to work to provide Ihemselve the famil iar shelter as quickly as possible. It was instinct--an instinct very similar in its character and operation to that observed in the ant, the bee, and tho beaver. These persons were activeJn getting upcomraittees, draft ing resolutions, snd putting out bom bastic addresses. They were not res trained by any modesty, false or gen uine, and they succeeded in elbowing their way tosprominent places on the platform, and in making a good deal of noise. But they no more represented the feeling or purpose of the men who went quietly to the polls, from a sense of duty, and dropped their ballots for Hbraco Greeley, than the self seeking office-holders and office-seekers, ring attorneys, credit Mpbilier statesmen, and disgusted apostles nf addition, xll viBion and silence, who crowded the Grant stump last summer and fall, represented thp men from the' farms J and work-shop who went, quietly to the. polls from the same sense of duty. and voted for Mr. Ureeley's competi tor. These men never took any stock in that remarkable political edifice (on paper known as the 'Liberal Re publican p'tirty,'' never incurred any .responsibility for it, and certainly do not now propase to bo held liable for any political debts that its projectors may nave contracted". 'It has seemed necessary to say this much, as the Aliens and' Coehranes, after a temporary retirement, are1 again holding committee meetings and puttingont 'calls,' and as some newspapers that ought to know bet ter show a disposition to take their performances au scricux.' 1 7-Se Rosewater'ehallenges the manager of the Onion a Republican s!s follows . "I will give you a discount one thou sand (10000) subscribers on the total circulation of the Omaha Daily Re mblican in the city of Omaha, match it with the total city circulation of the Daily Bee, and pay you a premium of five dollars for every subscriber you have in excess." Ho makes the some offer in regard to the'circulationof the two dailies in the State of Nebraska. Tho fire fiend has again blown his hot breath and cauied the downfall of a city and the pauperizing of thou sands. This time the seat of his ex ploit was at Portland, Oregon, which city he has laid in ashes, causing a loss of $2,000,009 on which an insur ance of but $200,000 was laid. This fire equals thatof Chicago and Boston, considering the disproportion of ma terial upon which-lt had to prey. Charles Shellaberger, who has been living with our townsman Judcre Wheeler for several years, went to Hamilton, Mssouri, on Friday last, to visit with Ills' parents who reside there. It is not certain that he will return to Brownville, but it is to be Iwpddithat his attachments hero will induce him to return. The Kansas City Times is the only paper combatting tho assertion that the Democratio party is dead. It con tends that the party was fearfully crippled by Greeley and hiB adherents but insists that its wounds are not mortal,. . w :ro Groesbeck;. of .Ohio, has 'written a letter proposing the establishing of another "jiew departure?' party. This is fitting. The last ''new departure'' party grew out of a letter .writtea- by Vallandigham, of Ohio. MMM4ftVM)t -' FROJrrAWNEE.

THE FARMERS' DEPARTURE. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. I want a little, plain talk through the Advertiser with the people about this "New Departure" of the farmers. Whether I know as much about farming as did Horace Greeley, of grateful memory, is amongithe im portant questions yet undecided. My ideal of farming is that it comes the nearest to paradise-life of any occu pation on earth; and in the "good time coming," when "middle men" have all becu annihilated, all the peo ple will be farmers, then honesty will be triumphant. It would be sinful to say or even think that farmers would cheat each other. 'Who ever heard of their taking ;an exhorbitant price for any of-' their products? What a salve it is for their conscience now that the heel of oppression is on them, that they.jiever by word or act helped to bring about this fearful state of affairs.- Thereisa great deal of poetry in farming, and quite a sprinkling of prose. While Pomona, Ceres and Flora, with their witchery and fascin ations, fling halos of glory over the golden harvests which bow in majes ty to the passing breeze, and cast in toxicating delights among tho beau teous flowers, and throw a charm ov er the 'orchards, where luscious fruits harig on drooping boughs; yet the plow and the reaper, the milk-pail, and churn, the axe and the spade must be kept in the back ground, or the picture of farm-life is not com plete. While the farmer repoge3 in dignity, like a patriarch, "under his own vide and fig tree," and his chil dren "gather like olive-plants ronnd his table,", the coar.se, plain cos tume, the hard hand, the' weary limbs, must be brought into tho ac count. . . , ' . The farmers are altogether too anx ieus about raising corn ; they do not raise poetry enough. J believe in producing ;an abundance of poetry on a farm. ".Middle men, with paper collars, . and fine coats, and white hands," cannot effect the price of that one farthing, and it is away on be yond the reach of "monopolies." their eyes bleared with "riotous Hy ing" cannot see so far. ..Aristocracies and . monopolies are very sordid things, and pqetry, dainty maid, shrinks from their impure touch. ' I believe in raising poetry almost exclusively on a farm. Most farmers, at least those iu Nebraska, believe in raising corn exclusively. I wonder if .corn has any myeterio.ua power of in fatuating and deluding people, when it is not made into whiskey? Some how'it has a wonderful influence on Nebraska farmers. They seem.. to want to couverfc all Urn Western. States into ono vast corn-field, and then marvel much if the supply is greater than the detnand ; and spec tres of conspiracies haunt them be cause they cannot sell their corn for a high price. Now, no amount of poetry con re duce its price, there is just as much majesty in the fields of corn now, when a bushel of it is worth but fif teen cents, as'when it was worth one dollar. I walk beneath the shade, of my etately old trees,, and hear nature chant her hymns through their branches, notwithstanding "monop olies'" grasp' unjust' gains, all regard less that the. day of retribution draw eth nigh. My flower-gardens blush in beauty and send their fragrance out upon the air, without heeding the fluctuations of the market. My pets, in the form of dogs, ducks, chickens "and 'a that," afford, me just as much knowl edge in natural science,- and animal philosophy, and delight me with their happy, pretty ways, as if a hog were worth ten cents a pound) as it ought to be,-instead of three cents, as it is. "AH very well to talk about, but pretty will not buy bread." It hath been written, 'nimi is not to live by bread alone." I know where of I write. Why blees your soul, reader, tho way fate, destiny or Prov idence has dealt with me In taking friends and fortune, if I had not be lieved in poetry and inspiration ; liv ed ia. beautiful Ideals; (ideals are prophecies of things that will surely come to pass,) and "walked by faith and not by sight, for the things seen are temporal, but the things not seen are eternal," and "looking upon things that are not visible" to some people 1 should havobeen dead long ago, and you would not have been, edified with, this paper,, whioh tells. you what It know about farmiug.

I must" be allowed the privilege of using my own judgment in the way I Will work.for the interest of the farmer. If I cannot seo the Grange Is the place for me to work, I had better not go into it. Some people, and I am one of them, work better out of pr ganizations than in thorn. I must have room. I cannot be chained to a seat. . I want the privilego of reprov ing e'vil.and defending the right let it be where it may. During the hot weather-of the sum mer time I cannot make much men tal effort In the .way of writing, or perhaps I should not have written in the style I now have. As the autumn advances I may write something in the interest of the farmer. . Now, brother and sisterfarmers, be not too anxious about fttfie-life which now is," but be anxious about the life which is to coihe. Prepare for that life. Look over jo to "$he sweet fields of Eden; where1 the trees of life are blooming," and secure you a mansion there, and angel hands will fi.t.it up for you, under the. guidance of tho Elder Brother, Christ. He hath promised it. I have a mansion there with many a loved, one fn it. Then by and by we will possess them. There are no "monopolies1 there, for "nothing unholy or unclean can en ter there!"

Well, Major, as I promised to call at Brownville or drop you a. line, in case you left for Nebraska befqre my return from Minnesota and Northern Iowa, ! do so and give you a short ac count of my trip, observations, &c. I acted upon your advice and after I had visited portions of those States, crossed the Big Muddy "just before the close of day," aud brought up at the Metropolitan Hotel in .Omaha. There I spept a short time to see what T could see. Tho principal topic of conversation was the recent trial of your Governor or a trial in which he was interested. Learning that he" is a citizen of the famous town (to hear ypurstpry you represent, I became interested and made sorao inquiries. I was informed that "no matter as to the facts in the case, right or wrong, he (tho Gov.) will get fits ; ho will never get a jury here that will givo him a verdict; 'ns old .settlers, have put our heads togellfer," and Judge Lake will beat him if. the jury don't; Judge Lake is an Omaha man and he will skin the Governor, &o." I heard much more of the .$ame sort while there. Since I have been over and through a good portion of the State, I find the majority of the people think that Judge Lake is bound to do just as they said in Omaha. Yet I havo not heard a man say that he thought the Governor guilty. I have a copy or two of the Omaha Herald and a3 J read tne testimony of tho "old set tlers," themselves, as to' their own bribery and corruption, T think it safe to say that with a Judge to aid and assist them, it will be hard to ob tain a verdict when they furnish a jury of their own section and : class. Ton may be able to' defend the purity and justice of your own courts, but to many in your State, aud elsewhere, it looks as though you had imported ... j ' some of "Jim Fjsk's Judges" from New York. . .'', In due time tho TL P. train Is off, and now for the towns, and scenery in the beautiful Platte Valley as far as Kearney. Fremont, Columbus, Grand Island and other towns far .surpassed, my expectations, and I can say the. same for Lowell, Hastings, Crete, Be atrice and othere on the B. & M. R. R. ,,.-,, In many places I heard ex-Gov. Butler ?nokeu of by the best class tof people.. I wasassurred that the State is more indebted to him than he is to the State, apd at no distant day tho people will acknowledge the service he has rendered tho State, her insti tutions, &c. Before reachingLincoln I made the acquaintance of several parties connected, with different wholesale house.s iii that place. Their "runners" are to bo found on all roads and in all towns. Instead of returning to Omaha, I was induced to take tho train for At chison, being informed that by so doing I would see the best portion of the State. I Was also assured that, '.the A. & N. was the best road in the west and the best managed.; that tho .con ductors, Rice and Weisman, had few equals and no superiors. As for the road I havo found none better, and the conductors fully sustain the repu tation the people give them. The A. & N. will never do better in the con ductor line. Well, I have seen some, of your StateTind talked with many people in different towns and cities. For pure air and' water, stock-raising aud agri culture, Nebraska is A No. 1. The section of cotlntry through which the A. & N. road passes is truly beautiful and lovely at this season of tho year. As you glanco over the landscape and glide along aud seo the golden grain that crowns the hill-sldo, tho deep green, luxuriant, blooming prairie and the tall waving cordln ftho height of its beauty. you feel that "even. Sol omon in all his glory was not array ed like oneiof!'these., As for locating in Nebraska, I have .not decided, but some places I would; not think -very desirable for a new comer, as you. are distinctly 'given to understand! that you must not engage ia anjrkind of business that an "old settler" is XSmSS engagea'inTsach asmYrcantHob'esi ness, buying grain or produce.

That I presume is true, but eternity is "on ly a question of time," hence if may be difficult to fix tho date- of their completion. I asked one or two why the old'set tlers are so jealous, suspicious antf il liberal in their views' and envious of new comers; also what ri'glts and exclusive privileges belong, to them. I was told, "Us old settlers, somo of ns, Have lived hero" for a long time, been obliged to use much miserable- poor whiskey; few constitutions can stand what we have been obliged to; for my part I left the cast?' because I could not pay my debts, and I don't pay them now. I getaii the credit I can, pay nothing, unless I have to. We get the county, 'precinct and dis trict in debt all we can ; 'issue bonds and orders as long as they can be trad ed off, sold or given away; then we go out west "on a little hunt," .and I don't want any one to interfere with my plans. .All the old settlers are iiot this way, I speak for myself and a few more." I took tho above tale and the testi mony of the old settlers in the Oma ha Herald, as to their own aots of bribery and corruption, and conclud ed I would think it over before, locat ing. I presume that noue of this is applicable to your city,- as you gave me such a favorablo account of the same. I am coming to see you when I get a littlo time. Nowt where will I find some one of the railroads you pointed'out on the map ? You show ed me some five or six centering at Brownville. At Omaha they say Brownville has no road. ,They tell the same story at Beatrice and Lin coln. At the towifon the A. & N. R. R., where Col. Johnson was killed or killed somebody, for whom the town was named, they told us there. was a road to Brownviile but no rails. AtFalls City they said there was no railroad to Brownville, but a good place for one.
