We have received news this week in regard .to the Trunk road which we and others deem perfectly reliable. It is, that work is to commence imme diately on tbo Trunk road. Hieklin & Patterson, the gentlemen of whom we spoke in our paper of April 2nd, as being the contractors, conditional ly, have closed the contract for the work with Dr. Converse, uncondition ally. The work is to be pushed with the greatest possible industry and en ergy, so that the road may be in oper ation tliis fall.

The Republican State Central Com mittee of Illinois has decided to call a State convention to meet at Spring field on the 17th of June. A little girl in St. Soseph, Mo., last week feel into a cistern and was drowned. She was a daughter, four years old, of Win. Jamison. The remains of Dr. Livingston, the great Explorer of Africa, arrived in London on tho loth Inst. It was es timated that 50,000 people were at tho landing when the body arrrived. on the last shiuule nriorto the expira tion of the time set, no honorable man would try to take possession of the house and pay nothing to the builder because of techneoal breach of contract. Now the same equities prevail In the dealings of counties and muncipalities. As the contractor with the builder could recover dam ages if he had suffered any by the de- lav, in a court of enuity. but could not l'ope to get the house gratis, so if thecounty hail sufrereu actual uamages by the failure of the railroad contractor ... . u. :.tt.. ..: to gee in on time, it is equiuuny eim tled to recover. But it has no equita ble right to attempt to swindle him out of the entire amount, when he has in evey other respect complied with his contract. Honesty Is the best policy for States counties and municipalities, as well as for-individuals, and we cemmend the just and humane policy of Lancaster conuty to our Johnson county friends as worthy of there emulation in their future dealings with railroads. We oannot obiect to the Journal's argument. The commissioners of district should embrace the counties of Nemaha, Richardson, Johnson Johnson county wore too hnsty !n re W. R. Abbott, a prominent lawj-er of Louisville, Ivy., on the 14th inst., was shot three times by Jno. R. Green, a banker of that oity. The wounds are thought to be mortal.

B. F.

Old ham tied, and at last accounts had not been captured. At Harmon Mo., recently during a storm tho lightning entered the tele graph office knocking theoperator.Mr. W. IT.

Cit izens a7e mustering and moving to the capital, some for Brooks and some for Baxter. We judge from the telegraph reports that the Baxter men are much the more numerous, and that If the question is -left to the arbi tration of arms, he will soon re-establish himself Jn the State House ns the rightful Governor. If tho courts are allowed to decide tho matter it will be in favor of Brooks. On the loth Inst., the lower house of Congress passed a bill to abolish mileage to Congressmen, and provid ing that they shall be paid only actu al traveling expenses to and from Washington once eacli session. Tho vote stood yeas 180, nays 40. Con gress is loin g some good work this session by way of curtailing expenses In the various ramifications of carry ing on government affairs. Tho peo ple will bo pleased to see this mileage bill become a law. In many instan ces the mileage of Congressmen and Senators has been more than their salary. It is proper to pay their ac ual necessary traveling expenses, but nothing more. Beatrice people and Sterling people have been lately holding very enthu siastic meotiug3 with a view of con necting those two towns by a rail road. The enthusiasm manifested in the speeches Indicate they mean busi ness that it is not going to end in mere talk. If that enterprise goes on, if tho necessary means is proffered for its construction, we hear it rumored that the Brownville & Ft. K. road will change its route to that direction and connect with tho A. & N. and Beatrice and Sterling roads at the town of Sterling. The're is probably no definite conclusion with regard lo the matter as yet, but suoh talk is abroad and taking the whole question in view there Is nothing unreasona ble or unpracticable in it. We pre sume Teeumseh aud the south part of thecounty will bo on the alert to -see that such a death blow is not brew ed on them as would be such a change In the Brownville road. People in the West must learn that they cannot have railroads unless they pay for them. and Pawnee, in the State of Nebras ka, and two contiguous counties in the State of Kansas. Our readers will remember that in the Advertis er of the 9th inst. we copied the Journal's article, and saw fit to ridi cule the idea of taking in part of an other State with which to form a dis trict for a Fair when Nebraska has plenty of suitable and available terri tory for such a purpose, and at the same time we exposed the palpable selfishness of the proposition as man ifested by the Journal. This selfish ness consisted in proposing to go out of the State to borrow two counties so that Falls City would be centrally lo cated, and of course get the Fair. This was the design of the editor most assuredly, if he does sweat, and writhe, and deny. Our objections to going out of the State for territory v.'ith our expose of the bungling trick, so cheekily proposed, caused the editor of the Journal to get hot awful hot; and he pitches into your humble servant with a severity no ono would dream could come from so Liliputian a source. Bro. Stretch got so terribly vexed that he forgot the text he certainly would not pur posely ignore it to divert attention from the main question. In his fidg etings lie declares that Falls City is building up and Brownville going down. We might easily show the er ror of this assertion, but that ia not the question. The question is, why dees the editor want to take a part of Kansas into a Nebraska DistrictFair? The editor assumes that Brownville "entertains feelings of bitterness" towards Falls City. Nothing of the kind, Stretch. His imagination Stretches wonderfully, but he thought that in his dilemma it was better to throw dirt. HiB readers no doubt would rather have heard a manly de fense, somethinc showing a good reas on why a District Fair could not be held entirely in Southern Nebraska, and without going into another State forsome counties. Tho editor, still ignoring the question at issue, drop3 tho imaginary war between the two cities, aud accuses us of "panting for a newspaper flight ever since the man tle of Maj. Caffrey descended upon him." That is the worst stretch of all. The editor must be in a bad fix billious or something for he Is en tirely mistaken. We are always amiable and good humored fiirhting is not our best hold ; good, sound, sol id sense suits us best, and that's what's the matter with Stretch. Our style does not suit him at all. In a "newspaper fipht" our esteemed co temporary would get away witii us. that is if the fellow that got the mad dest would win, for Stretch can get madder than we can. No, Stretch, we seek no newspaper fight, but we can sometimes see through tho de signs of tricksters, and we always have the nerve to expose the swindle. That Is all. This question of a Dis trict Fair we favor, for Southern Ne braska, or some portion of it We hold that the counties, in Nebraska, any of them in the Southeastern part are as good as the two counties pro posed to be borrowed from Kansas. We have this week talked with some of tho leading agriculturists of the State with regard to this matter, and they concur with us In our opinion that our district fairs should bo en tirely within our own State if Kan sas, Missouri or any other State wish es to exhibit at the fair let them do so, but we do not want to borrow ter ritory, unless it would be to make Falls City or some other town tho center. Now, notwithstanding the bitter and false charges of the Journ al, we would have no objections to holding the Fair at Falls City, even if It were not in the center of the dis trict. We never said a word osalnst Falls City in this or any other respect, what we said-was purely to ridicule the style the Jbrmiaf adopted to bring about a result instead of openly and In a manly way asking for it. We still believe that tho only object the 'Journal had in proposing to take in two counties from Kansas, inst-ad of some other two counties In Nebraska, was to have Falls City in the center of the district. As we said, we are not fighting Falls City we only feel disgusted with that editor for his silly prevarications. We would much rather have discussed with Brothor Stretch the proposition of a district frir. but he thought best to drop that subject and deal in personalities and malicious though impotent fliuga, and we were forced to answer In the manner we have. A duel was recently fought with pistols in Mississippi, by parties from New Orleans, named Wood and Bechemin." The latter was shot thro' the thigh. They were arrested by .the authorities of Mississippi. A shocking explosion occurred at Dunkonfield, England, on the loth, In a coal mine. About .fifty working! men were killed,. si.Iviug to not issue the bonds because the specified time for finishing the road had elapsed. We do not presume that this action of the commissioners caused work on the road to stop ; but it showed a disposition to take advan tage of a technicality. It is reasona ble to suppope that this advantage would have been insisted on, had the work went on and the road been com pleted within a reasonable time after tho time agreed upon. We have learned that If Johnson county would manifest a more amia ble disposition toward that road, that work would ere long b resumed, and it puslied rapidly to completion. Let the commissioners and the people of that county show to Dr. Converse a disposition to be fair, and not to insist upon getting as valuable a thing as a railroad fur nothing, and undoubtedly they will lealize benefits greater and more speedily than to do otherwise. We all want that road to connect im mediately with our trunk road, to be constructed this summer. Theu let the people be wide-awake, and not obstinately blind to their own inter ests. . -s. While the Advertiser is fearful that a Nemaha Valley district fair will not be held among the hills of Brownville next fall, it may be well to note that for some time the President of the State Agricultural Society was a resi dent of Brownville, and in order to advertise his town used his influence with the State Board and had the State Fair held there for two succes sive years, but it wan a signal failure in both instances, they had either to abandon Brownville or let the organi zation die a natural death, and they wisely chose the former. Fall City Journal. ' The above contains not less than fivo false assertions, viz: 1st. The Advertiser is not fearful that a Nemaha Valley district fair will not be heid among the hills of Brown ville; and never advocated, or even thought, of such a thing. 2nd. There never was a fair held among the hills of Brownyiile!" The fairs have invariably been held on the the Missouri bottom below town. 3rd. The President of the State Board of Agriculture never used his influence to have the State fair held at Brownville in order to advertise his town. On the contrary. It was prof fered him given to him in honor of hln efficiency and zeal in conducting fairs, and as the leading agriculturist of the State; and because Brownville has one of the best fair grounds in the State, with the best appointments. 4th. Itis not true that the State fair was held here for two successive years. Itis true that two State fairs were held here in succession, but only took three or four daya at each fair. 5th. It Is not true that it was a sig nal failure in both instances. To tho contrary, those two State fairs were successes, more flattering and marked than any subsequent State fairs have been. The society at the close of each of those two fairs had money in their troasury after all expenses were paid, and such has not been the case at any of the fairs since. Then, Stretch, by this plain state ment of facts we have knocked you out of time again. Anger and false hood does not avail you. On tho 20th of March the New York Board Health "issued a permit for the burial of the bodj of Louisa Germo, aged twenty-three, on the certificate of Dr. Earnest Uling, of No. 160 Eldridgo street, that the young woman had died at his house from natural causes. The funeral and interment followed. It was ru ruored that Uling and Mihs Germo had been engaged and that tlie Doc tor had taken out a joint policy of $10, 000 in the Merchauts Life Insurance Company, which policy was to revert to him in case of her death. Suapic-' ions followed that her death was the result of malpractice and on affidavit to this effect was made and submitted to the Coroner. He sent for Uling. who .expressed great sorrow for tho ueam oi cue young woman and in sisted that she died a natural death. The Insurance Company was not sat isfied aud the Coroner ordered the body to be exhumed and issued a warrant for the arrest of Uling, to be held to await the result of the Inves tigation. The dninterment took place to-day and the coffin taken to the morgue and opened, when instead of the body, was found nineteen bricks wrapped in paper and kept in place by laths. Charles Fenk, the undertaker has been arrested, but Uling has kept out of tho way of the police thus far. 2XUSXG THE CURRENCY 21X2. The following is the text of the JSonate bill which passed the Hou.se on tlie 14th inst., and now in tbo hands of the President the niaxi ites notes 000 Sec. 2. That $40,000,000 in notes for circulation in addition to such circu lation now allowed by law shall be is sued to the national banking associa tions now organized, and which may be hereafter, and uoh increased icir culation shall be distributed among the several-States hi provided in sec tion 1 of the act entitled "An act to provide for the redemption of three per centum temporary loan certifi cates, and for an inorease of the na tional bank notes," approved July 12, 1S70. and each national ban king asso ciation now organized, or hereafter to be organized, shall keep and main tain, as part of its reperve required by law, one-fourth part of the coin re ceived bv it as interest on United States bonds deposited as security for circulating notes on government de posits, and that hereafter only one fourth of the reserve now prescribed by law for national banking associa tions shall consist of balances due to an association available for the re demption of its circulating notes from associations in cities of redemption, and upon which balances no interest shall he paid. Inflationists generally think this measure will be of but little, if any, financial relief to the wants and de mands of the West. The Inter-Ocean, the most- able of the advocates of more money, regards the bill in that light, and says, "It Is possible that nothing better thau the Senate bill could pass the upper branch, aud in this case it was probably thought best to accept of that. With the Scott amendment, however, it seems to us very much like offering the people a stone after they had asked for bread."

In last week's Advertiser you make some comments on the action of Unity Grange, which it seems to me, do injustice to Unity Grange, j their way in that direction soon RESOLUTIONS BV AMITY GRANGE. At a regular meeting of Amity Grange, No. 221, held on Friday ev ening, April 10th. the following reso lutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That Amity Grange hoartily endorses the action of the County Association in disclaiming tlie newspaper printed in Brownville, under the name of Nemaha County Granger, as the organ of our Order. Resolved, That we, as Patrons, earnestly protest against the claims made by the publishers of the Nema ha.County Granger, that it represents our cause, and earnestly, but respect fully reque.-t that they discontinue the name of Nemaha County Grang er at the head of their paper. Resolved, That these resolutions be furnished to botli the county pupers for publiction. W. P. Fuiss, Sec'y. GRANGE SEWS. April 17th. Win. B. Washburne, present Governor of Massachusetts, was elected, on the 33rd ballot, U. S. Senator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Charles Sumner. Mr. Washburne was the compromise candidate of thofriends of Mr. Dawes and Mr. Hoar. It is conceded by the Republican press that the choice is an excellent one. The Grangers in the vicinity of Grand Island are rai.-ing funds to build a hall in that town. They have already a fund on hand of SI, 500. The hall will be 20xG2 feet in size. Vermont now counts one hundred and twenty-three Granges. The Grangers of Perry county, Ala bama, are about to start a large cotton factory. A delegate convention of the Pat rons in Illinois convened at Bioooi ington, April 14th. ine larmers ot Dakota county re cently held a meeting at Dakota City to devise plans for the establishment of an agricultural implement factory in their interests. The Columbus Journal say: "The Executive Committee of the State Grange hold passes over the B. & M. Ii. It., but this business is not ap proved generally by the workmen, as it were, because they believe that some equivalent always passes from the recipient back to the giver, or, at least, that some is expected, ami that an obligation, more or less binding, has been assumed. This is the common-sense view of tlie matter. The Grangers of Dakota county ore organizing a plow and wagon faotory. A telegram from Sabethe, Oregon, gives an account of the proceedings of the Farmers' State Convention of that State which met on the 17th. All nominations were unanimous and were as follows : For Congress, T. W. Davenport, a farmer and twice a member of the Legislature; for Gov ernor, Thamas F. Campbell, Presi dent of the Monmouth College and editor of the Christian Messenger. The platform sets forth that there is no hope but in the people to correct the extravagance and corruption prevalent in State or National admin istration. Officials paid by the gov ernment should devote their full time to the government ; favors proper en couragement of transportation com panies aud corporations, and persons engaged in legitimate busines-, are all under subjection to the law; that freights and fares should be fixed by the Legislature ; a return of tlie sal aries of rftate off) cert) to the constitu tional limits ; tlie reduction of clerk and sheriff fees to a fair compensa tion for services performed; for a lib eral system of schools; considers per sonal character the criterion for fit ness for office; favors local option and civil damage laws ; endorses the granger efToita against extortions and monopolies. The Oregon Statesman and Willamette Farmer of this date hoist the independent ticket. The Grcgonian follows suit, and out -half of the press will endorse the ticket. St. Louis, Feb. 19. The lawless ness in Lincoin reported af-w day since continues. Seven murders have been committed there In ten days previous to the date of the iotttu to the Republican from which this In formation is derived. The outlaws threaten to kill some of the most prominent men in the country. Many farmers have left the country and many are preparing to follow. The above telegram was sent east and published in eastern papers. Of course it is a'malicious lie, not a word of truth in or about it, The St. Louis Reimblican never contained a letter with the information iudicated. The lie waB ooncocted at St. Louis to turn emmigration from Nebraska. That was evidently the design. The rob bers of Missouri and "the Benders of Kansas have started the great tide of emigration towards Nebraska, and this lie was gotten upto change It if possible. You say "judging from the antagonis tic resolutions emanating from some of the Granges and Grange meetings there would seem to be a war among the Grangers.". Now, to explain as briefly as possi ble, the difference between the Asso ciation and Unity Grange. I wish to say this: the Association passed res olutions endorsing Col. Whitehead and the "Granger" newspaper.- Uni ty does the same. Not one word have I ever heard, either in or out of the Grange, condemning either Whitehead or the Granger as conduct ed by him. The Association, when the change in the management of the Granger took place, resolved to disclaim the Nemaha County Granger and refus ed to endorse Dr. Holladay as a Grange editor. Unity Grange does not recognize tlie Granger, as now conducted, as a Grange organ, neith er does It endorse Dr. Holladay as a Grange editor. Where, then , is the difference be tween the County Association and Unity Grange? Just here: When the President of that Association Is sued his call for the assembling- to gether of the delegates. to that con vention he stated that efforts were be ing made to muzzle "our organ," which was not so, as Dr. H., or any one else, had not made any efFort to "muzzle" the Granger. Tlie conven tion met and were so exasperated to think that "attempts to muzzle our organ" had been made, that they re solved to have no more to do with the paper. JJld tneir action stop nere .' No. They felt that they had been in jured by Dr. H., so they said we will stop our paper, and we will get every one elue to stop his paper, too. if we can, and break up the paper. That, you see, was the old "rule or ruin" principle. That was theiraction pre cisely. Now Unity Grange thinks that the true Grange principle Is. "Live and let live ;" "Do to others as you would that they should do to you ;" "If .thine enemy hunger, feed him, if he thirst, give him drink." Unity endorses the action of Dr. H. in a business point of view. He was getting nothing for tlie use of his press, and we thought if the agree ment between him and Col. White head permitted of a change, (and i-o one denies it,) he certainly was justi fied in making that change if he thought he would be benefitted there by. We therefore parked thut re.-olu-lion, or, u.- a Granger informs you. it was only a motion. It was introduc ed into the Grange verbally by a member of the Grange and be said mutation. After that resolution pars ed he offered a motion that a copy be furnished Dr. H. for publication. In writing a copy for Dr. H. I used the word rcolved in place of motioned, as I believed it to be the better word. The essence of the resolution publish ed, was the same as passed the Grange. The only difference was in choice of words. Tlie charge made by "a good Re publican Granger" that we were working In the interest of Democra cy is as contemptible as it is false and uncalled for. The obligation which we, as Grangers, have taken, forbids us taking such action in the Grange. To show how iuviolate we have kept our obligation, l win say that our Grange has been organized about nine months, and to my knowledge neither the word Republican nor Democrat lias been uttered in the Grange, and no action has been taken by us outside of the Grange in the interest of Democracy. More than that, I do not know, with one excep tion, to which party, Republican or Democrat, any of our members be long. Can "Republican Granger" say as much? I think not. In conclusion permit me to say that Unity Grange stands ready to endorse the action of the Central As sociation, as far as we thiuk itis right and just, and no farther. Wo are not afraid to have the Patrons of Nema ha county ait in judgment on our ac tion. Yours. &., S. C'OCilHAN. thank you for the last Advertiser, from which T learned the resultof the city, and of the school district elec tions. Mason City is larger than Brownville. There are no saloons hero, but the word Roes round that "the drinks'' can be had on the sly. The temperance people are vigilant and are determined to suppress the trafflo, and they have the full and ac tive sympathy of the courts to aid them. It is a work of time and of patience, but a work in which no one who honestly seeks tlie welfare of "his biother" can shrink from under taking. ' - Jarvis S. Church.

Dear Sir: I pprit one week unions the farmers of Hunlen enunly. Fre fiietit enquiries were tnaiie cniicern ing Messrs. Tucker. Drain, Start, Larking. Bitiml, HiVnenbnttnm. Butj-helor nntl their families, all of whom wen once residents of this county. Dunhjr 1113 stay in the coun try I did not see a daily paper. What whs transpiring in this active world of energy, thought, business, politics ai d accidents was a matter of wonder and conjecture on my part, hut a mat ter of unconcern willi the farmer I found nmny of my old polirie-il friends in Eldora, who were lo-admr the e.'iro tiid anxirtie- of the rnt eieht years with bill few trn-es of tlie increased time ::pn their eouuretrttii- ces. Monria' morning of ifi- week f toik the car- for Mihoii City where I arrived after a few hours' ride and va received by many ofd atipiaiiit iin.ieh witii gratifying words of wel come. Since T left Brownville the wind has been cold and disagreeable. The farmers have all their small grain in. There is no vegetation making its ap pearance above ground yet. Money matters are very stringent, farmers depend mostly upon the sale of their wheat for subsistence. Being heavi ly Involved for agricultural machin ery they Bold their wheat last fall at low prices in order to meet the press ing demands of over due paper. They are in nothing like as good condition as tho farmers of Nemaha county. Nebraska people may consider them- NW ADVERTISEMENTS.
