TVT-"? -'tPWV S IHE ADVERTISER. OSdal Paper of Cfty andlConnty. THURSDAY. MAY 2!, 1S7-I. A new finance bill, authorizing free banks has passed the U. S. Senate. ni The National Agricultural Congress met at Atlanta. Ga.. on the nth inst. 'So reward offered by California for ttio arrest of Vasquez, the bandit, wub $3,000. The Third National Penitentiary and Reformatory Congress convened at St. Louis May 13th. In the Wilmington, N. C, district, Johu II. Hyman, a negro, hns been nominated for Congress. The Ohio Democratic State Con vention will be held in Columbus, July 15. A campaign is to be made against the adoption of the new Con stitution. m ami Vasquez, the bandit, for a long time a terror to Southern California, was recently captured with two of hia gang. Vasquez was wounded but not seriously. Gov. Furnas, in accordance with the statute, offers a reward of $200,00 for the apprehension of C. W. Wells, charged -with the murder of D. Sohur ter in Stanton County. A convict named Walker in the Ft. Madison penitentiary concealed a put ty knife about his person and after wards tried to out his own throat with it, but it was too dull, and he failed in self murder. A special telegram to the Inter Ocean says there was recently a cabi net meeting in regard to the Arkan sas war, and that there were unmis takable evidences that the President will recognize Baxter as the Govern or. If a man with a single hay seed is a Granger, what is a man who is de cidedly seedy 1 Indianapolis Sun. Why, he's ripe, ready for harvest ing, and ought to be out. Indianian. Reub, what would you do with la dy Grangers, who are not "decidedly seedy," but ripe as a persimmon in December ? - A few days ago, in the Cayton Pin ery. Mo., a mail carrier and a traveler named Truett. were robbed by Mis souri robbers. The robbers were tracked by a party of twenty men to Boone County, Ark., and in a fight with them the Rev. Mr. 2s"ew was killed and another severely wounded. The robbers escaped. Mr. Xew was a minister of the Methodist Church, recently of Towa. The Executive Committee of the National Grange P cf H., were re cently In session in Washington. D. C; one of the measures adopted pro vides for sending as donations 100 bar rels of flour and 10,000 pounds of ba con to the Buffering members of the order in Louisiaua and Arkansas. Members of the order throughout the country have been extremely liberal in their donations to the suffering in the Southwest. Thousands of dol lars in money and supplies of both food and-clothing have been sent by individual Grangers. n About two years ago two young men, companions, named respectively Stewart and Winters, went from Iowa to Texas, and as partners entered into the mercAntilo business, near Sher-1 man. After a short time they quit that business, through the persuasions of Stewart, and engaged in the cattle business. Not long after, Stewart re turned alone to their first place of business. It has recently transpired that Stewart murdered his partner, friend, and companion of his youth, 'in order to come in possession of his little wealth. But murder will out. Stewart is now a prisoner to be tried for murder. A telegram describes the excitement at Little Rock on receipt of the Pres idential proclamation, thus: As soon as it became known the wildest excitement prevailed on the streets. Never in the history of Little Rock was there such a cheering and general rejoicing. It is almost impos sible for one to elbow his way thi ough the ex ited crowds. Men, women and children rejoice. The stores that have been" heretofore closed are opened, flags are waving, bands are playing, and the people are wild with their exclamations. The President nnd Baxter are just now the two most popular men in the eyes of tiie peo ple of Little Rock. Hundreds of peo ple are rushing to Baxter's quarters to. congratulate him, ladie.s as well as men, white and colored. Ten thou sand copies of the proclamation are now beiug printed in extra form by the GaEetie, and the office is besieged with people to get hold of a copy. 9 g Before tns President Issued his proclamation recognizing Baxter, the Attorney General submitted a lengthy opinion with reference to the matter, and concludes: There must be an end to this con troversy upon the subject. It would be disastrous to allow the proceeding by which Brooks obtained possession of the otlice to be drawn into a prece dent. There is no State in the Un ion in which they would not produce a conflict and probably bloodshed They oaunot be upheld or justified upon any ground, and in my opinion Baxter should be recognized as the lawful Executive of the State of Ar kansas. There is no doubt that the conclus ion arrived at by the President and Attorney General is a correct one. be cause the constitution of Arkansas declares expressly and plainly that contested elections for Governor and other State officers shall be decided by the Legislature. The case of the Governorship had been so decided, and neither the President nor the courts could properly set aside the provisions of the Constitution of the State. The Supreme Court of Ar-j kansas has shown itself to be a weak and undignified body, by rendering decisions touching the matter direct ly opposed to each other. CONSTITUTIONAI, CONVENTION-APPORTIONMENT. A meeting of prominent "Western men" was Ijeld in Lincoln, May 12th, to cousider the wants of the west in a political point of view. It was voted to be the sense of the meeting "that Governor Furnas be requested to call an extra session of the legislature at as early a day as possible, after the October election, to provide for a con stitutional convention, and to make new apportionment of the Stateupon which elect delegates to said conven tion." We deem this movement a sensible one and heartily endorse it. The whole State should have a fair and equalized representation, and the necessities of our rapidly developing and populating State, demand a new fundamental law, or many additions and correcth e amendments to- the old one. From what we have heard the Governor say relative to tho matter of a new coatitution, we are satisfied his views- accord with those of the gentlemen of the meeting above re ferred! to-, as well as those of a large majority of the people of the State ; and that any popular demand made for theobjects desired, will be prompt ly responded to and complied with by him. ABOUT INJUNCTIONS. An Injunctian has been laid on the Nemaha county bonds at Brownville, to restrain the trustees chosen by the county commissioners and Dr. Con verse from delivering the bonds for the "Trunk Railroad." Thai's what's the matter with 6ister Brownville now. Nebraska City News. Speaking of injunctions, the Neivs, In the above, manifests a reckless dis regard of the injunction of the Hon. D. Crocket, viz: "Be sure you're right then go ahead," or the injunc tion of Moses, set forth In the IXth Commandment tho News man can get some little Sunday School girl to show it to him in the Bible. There is not one word of truth in the above News assertions. No. 1. No injunction has been laid at Brownville or elsewhere to restrain the trustees from delivering the bonds voted for the Trunk R. R. No. 2. The County Commissioners never chose any trustees to hold the bonds voted the Trunk R. R., and there are no such trustees in exist ence. No. 3. There afe no bonds issued in this county for the Trunk R. R. No. 4. Nobody has proposed or ask ed for a delivery of the bonds voted the Trunk R. R., at least from the present Board of Commissioners, or any trustees. No. 5. That's not "what's the mat ter with sister Brownville," for the Neivs' whole story is false. There were this spring a few cren tlemen in the Northwest part of this county who were as ignorant of the w.iy the matter stands as the News seems to be. who asked Judge Gantt to grant them a temporary injunction to restrain the delivery of bonds to the said road, but upon examination the Judge found there was no bottom to the case, that the danger was pure ly imaginary, and refused to grant even a temporary injunction to re strain a myth. The intention of the News is very apparent. It is to injure the reputa tion of Brownville among railroad men, and the intention is as mean and cowardly as its declarations are false. The answer to the petition for the injunction above alluded to was gotten up by a heavy tax-paying citi zen of Brownville, and throuch the showing and opposition of the peo ple hero the injunction was refused. And this was done by gentlemen who have no interest in the Trunk road more than that they desire to have it constructed for the general good of city and county, and their efforts in showing the truth to the Judge were voluntary and gratis, thus exhibiting a disposition for honesty and an in terest in railroad matters directly the reverse to what the News would have its readers believe. The people of this county are heavi', taxed for railroads which they do not enjoy the benefit of, and Brownville more than any other locality suffers in this respect, yet the people do not propose to repudiate any contract they have made, however much they may re gret having made some of them, and are willing at all times to do their utmost to secure the conveniences of railroads. Will the News be suffi ciently just to correct the false im pression it has made? A circular has been issued by the Master of the Nebraska State Grange, addressed to subordinate granges, ask ing contributions to be sent to H. W. L. Lewis, New Orleans, La., for the relief of the members of the order who have suffered from the late inun dations in that State. Sprint: Creek Grange held a special meeting and generously contributed the sum of $13.25. Tecumseh Herald. Are the Patrons of Nemaha County not going to contribute something to ward -the relief of their suffering brothers and .sisters down there? The Atchison County Journal says "Gov. Woodson may be set down as the 'champion pardoner' -of the Uni ted States. Duriug the year 1874 he pardoned 475 convicts out of the pen itentiary. And yet, says the St. Joe. Herald, the Governor wonders that Missouri is overrun by thieves and murderers." That is about as good and sensible a hit as we have seen. Columbus, Ohio, has a peculiar kind of fishermen. One of them was discovered the other day mounted on a twenty-foot ladder, fully equipped with fish pole and line, with which he was fishing out various articles of clothing from a bedroom. The fellow refused to leave his perch until a re volver had been snapped in his faoe. He was arrested. Augustus E. Crane, living near Milford, Kosciusko county, Indiana, recently committed suicide, while drunk, by putting the muzzle of a gun in his mouth and-blowing bis brains out. He had a wife and two children, and was a kind husband and father when not under the Influ ence of strong drink. THE TRUNK It. E. Dr. J. N. Converse has been east, probably looking after railroad mat ters. We gleau from the Lincoln pa pers what they gleaned from him with regard to the proposed Trunk line. Maj. Caffrey, of the Blade, says he had an interview with Dr. C and was assurred that the "prospects attending the project were now quite tlntterinir nnd Mint the'interests which jLhe represented had been quite busy for8orao time in endeavoring to en list such aid as would not only secure the construction of the road'but equip and run it in first class shape when built, and he is in possession of as surances in writing from the mag nates of the North Missouri R. R. that they will extend the required aid." What the Journal learned about it is not calculated to stimulate hope so much. That paper says: "Dr. J. N. Converse returned from the East the other day. He says there is no doubt the Trunk line of the M. P. Railway will be built some day, but the uncertainty of the money market will probnbty delay the work for some time." A railroad man of Nebraska once enthusiastically wrote us at Tecum seh that ho intended to construct a certain road as soon as he possibly could if he was not prevented. We hope the interested points along the Missouri River will keep a stiff upper lip, for Dr. Converse is undoubtedly possessed with some such determina tion. EXCELSIOR NEBRASKA. Nebraskans may well be proud of the reputation their State is acquir ing as a producing State. In the mat ter of spring wheat she stands at the head of the list of competitors; and with regard to fall wheat she holds an enviable position. The commercial editor of the St. Joseph Herald last1 week says: "The great producing States of fall-sown wheat are Wiscon sin, Minnesota,. Iowa arm Nebraska, and these produce about 90,000.000 bushels, or about one-fourth of the entire wheat crop." Nebraska one of the great produc ing States of fall-grown wheat, when a few years ago none of us thought she could ever produce sufficient fall wheat for the consumption of her own citizens, and much less that she would ever have a national reputation as a fall wheat grower. So with her fruit record her name standing proudly at the head. What other ex cellent qualities will be developed of her as she acquires age. population and wealth ? She is but in her in fancy, and the zenith of her glory is not yet reached, and will only be in the far future. THE WORLD DOES MOVE. A New Outlet for Western Produce. A delegation from the Kansas City Chamber nf Commerce visited Gal veston, Texas, on the loth inst. The object of their visit; was to open a through line for western produce. It is expected that arrangements will soon be perfected witli a connecting line of railroad to place wheat and other Western produce on board Liv erpool ships at much lower rates than via New York or eastern cities. The Chamber of Commerce and Cotton Exchange appointed a commit tee to confer with the railroad com panies to obtain low rates. Galves ton merchants and capitalists are joining in the movement, and hope to build up a heavy trade with the Mis souri Valley. Col. Van Horn, of Kansas City, be iug presentat a meeting of the Gal veston Chamber of Commerce. i?aid tiie delegation had two objects in view. One was to enquire if Galves ton merchants were able and willing to handle the grain of their section. The other to secure a proper competi tion tariff rates from railroad "lines. If so they would return home satis fied we could handle their grain and would report to their Board of Trade that the merchants of Galveston will do their part. A united effort will be made to induce railroads to comply. By this means a trans-Mississippi commerce will be built up which will rival that of the East. JOHNSOX COUNTY ITEMS. The Chieftain has a new office building. Delinquent land sales commenc ed atTecumseh on Monday last. The Herald says many fruit and forest trees have been planted this spring. Rev. E. D. Phillips who has been East for nearly a year, has returned to Tecumseh. Andy Bell and J. W. Buffum have started a harness shop in part ner ship, in Tecumseh. Onthe 20th of April Mr. Raney of lower spring Creek lost his bain and a span of horses by fire. C. T. Haskins, long connected with Mills & Co., Des Moines, Iowa, lias permanently located in Tecum seh. J. H. Austin, near Tecumseh had his stable, house, corn, and other property destroyed by fire on the 13lh inst. Russel and Holmes, bankers, are the heaviest tax payers in the county. This year they paid $955.00 on person alty alone. The sixth annual convention' of the National Women's Suffrage Associa tion opened in N. Y. on the 14th. This movement is not gathering strength now. we think, but ratlu r the contrary. The women's crusade against saloons, whisky drinkers and drugstores has worked much against tiie suffrage'mnvemant. Judge Brennan, In the District Court at Davenport, Towa, sentenced Fritz Dinkie to three years in the penitentiary for merely killinc hla wife with a butcher knife. How ter rible! The same Judge at the nme time sentenced Cornelius O'Brien three years for killing Jeremiah Brod erlck: last Ne Year's day. TERRIBLE CALAM1TT.- The reservoir at Goshen, Hamp shire county, Mass., bureted on the 16th inst. causing a fearful loss of life and property. It was constructed to supply the manufacturers of Wil liamsburg, Leeds, Haydenville, and Florence. The reservoir covered 150 acres and had an averago dopth of thirty feet. Dispatches thus describe the terrible calamity: "Tho water came rushing down tho hills, carry ing everything before It. Tho Hood struck the southwestern porttlon of Williamsburg, two miles not III of this place, tearing away n largo num ber of dwellings, and sweeping along toSkinnerville.it demolished Skin ner's large silk mills and his board ing and dwelling houses. Continu ing on, the water struuk the large brass manufactory of llayden, Gere &.Co., sweeping It away in an instant. Large stones and machinery were swept through the streets at a fearful rate, ami well built houses were in stantly crushed, not giving the in mates a moment's warning. The flood caught the village of Leeds, where a large number of shops, dwellings, etc., were swept rw.hj The loss of life is very heavy in kill ed and drowned, whole families hav ing been carried over the dams. It is impossible at this time to give the number of lives lost; twenty-three bodies so far have been taken' out of the rubbish on the shores. Whole blocks of tenements filled with wo men and children were swept down the stream, and all the inmates, of course, lost. At noon bodies were be ing constantly brought in and laid in the church." So far asascertuined ov er 150 lives were lost. Q,., ill. &. P. R. R. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. Noticing in your lnt issue that you called attention to the fact that I did not, on my return from Quincy, re port as to the status of the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific Rail Road, I de sire to say that my not reporting to your paper or to the Nemaha County Granger was not out of any unkind feelings or want of respect for these ably conducted journals ; nor had I any desire to keep from the citizens of Nemaha county any railroad news or other matters of general interest. On the contrary it has always been my wish and earnest endeavor to not on ly encrturage and help sustain our lo cal papers, but to correctly represent and earnestly work for the best inter est of Brownville and Nemaha coun ty. Our people had been so often de ceived in railroad enterprises thai I felt reluctant to make any report un til something definite had been ac complished, fearing that my report might lead some to believe that we were on the eve of great events in railroad matters, while others would be disappointed and imagine the worst. I went to Quincy to meet the Board of Directors on tho Gth of May. hoping to be able to accomplish some thing for our interest at this end of the line. On my arrival at Quincy X (V.nori tliut arniiiifetuvnts IimcI lipeti made (by consolidating several rail road interests) to build a through line of railroad from Chicago via Quincy and 119 Q., M. &. P It. R. to Brown Yilie, Neb., provided certain financial arrangements were perfect ed by a certain time by these combin ed interests. To carry out this arrangement agents were dispatched to Europe to make negotiations. While in Quincy T saw letters from the agents, which stated that they had been very busy, having had a large amount of work to do, namely giving the history of every countj' from Chicago to Brown ville, amount of taxable property, population, etc., etc Also the earn ing of all roads running between Chicago and Brownville, including the Hannibal & St. Joe. R. li. The agent further staled that he had good reasons to expect that they would be successful in their negotia tions. The matter, however, will be determined in a few weeks. I would further say that the Q. M. & P. R. R. is now running to Klrksville, sevtMity "miles west from Quincy; is doing a splendid busine.-s, and the ofiicers and directors of the road are and have been doing everything in their power to build the whole road from Quincy to Brownville. The continued war u)on railroads, the financial panic, and the failure to pay railroad bonds, in many localities have prevented cap ital from being invested in railroad securities. The large amount of money now in New York, and the large-sums that will accumulate there by July first, seeking investment, must, to a certain extent, relieve a great many enterprises that have lain dormant for the last year or two. I hope for the best, and look anx iously for relief in railroad matters; but at present the prospect is not very flattering, although the final result glorious. But until we know that our railroads are certain to he in operation by a given time, I shall, and would advise others to. actus though we had no certainty of relief this summer. Sould we get nothing better this sea son, however, 1 believe arrungements, satisfactory to Brownville, can be made to complete and put in opera tion the road from Brownville to Phelps this summer. I am, respectfully, fcc, A. P. Cogswell. , THE TItUMC U. U. The Nebraska City Chronicle speak ing of Dr. Converse' recent trip east reports a follows: He says the company he represents isHtJU tletermineri to build the Trunk railroad, but are governed in the mat ter of time -by -surrounding financial circumstances. The work will prob ably commence in a few weeks, but depends on the prospect of inflation, the condition of the money marketon Wall street, and the bond casses now pending in the courts of this State. Forty-three crusaders were recent ly arrested in Cincinnati, atd taken to the station house, for appearing on the streets and praying In and about 6aIoons after they had been notified by like .city officers to desist.
