The Pawnee Republican , ft Eeems. is bound tint to be convinced that that little public, open, daylight trans- action which it Is hanDV in dubbine a "landsteal," waa not a very states- man like aotof ourlegisIatnre, which will redound to the glory of the State. Why does the j?cpud?jcan not take up the figures and arguments offered by The Advertiser in defense of the "steaL" and answer them, success fully If it can, Instead of Ignoring all facts in reference to the matter, and standing baok chattering, parrot-like, "landEteal!" "land steal I" Beecher's testlmony.aslde from the witness' style of delivery and acting before Ihe court, the auditora and ju ry, amounts to nothing more than his "statements" which all haye read, a denial of everything he is chargpd with. He denies, just as everybody expected he would, the testimony of those who testified .against him. but then he tells his story with such dra matic effect that be most certainly will come out of court without a scratch and perfectly virtuous and happy. It,i3 not possible for a born actor, like Beecher, to be a ladies' man or anything that way. When Mr. Evarts asked Beecher if he ever had the conversation with Tilton fis related by Tilton, as to the doubtful paternity of little Ralph Til ton, and In reference to his, Beech er's, first carnal knowledge of Eliza beth, then was an auspicious time to display his theatrical genius and bring down the house, and he suc ceeded admirably, as he has a Plym outh Church orowd always on hand to applaud when he rounds a dramat ic point. While, .the question was be ing read, says a reporter. Mr. Beech er seemed restless, and seemed impa tient to speak and made several gest ures of remonstrance, and when final ly lie bad ttic question, ne answered in tones not soon to be forgotten." Of course he denied that any such con versation had ever taken place, and they say he ought to be acquitted on account of those gestures and tones. Notwithstanding the reputation of the grasshoppered and drouth cursed western country.the traverand imigra tlon never were so great at this season of the year as at present. We talk of hard times and deplore the destitute condition of the people, but all our information of times, financially, with laborers of the east, lead us to believe that we of Nebraska, and the west, geaerally speaking, are really better off, with fairer prospects ahead, than the laborer, the mechanic, and the poor of eastern cities. Speaking of the travel westward, the St. Joe Herald of the 10th says: "There were thirty California passengersand fort, j five cars of through freight on the St. Joseph and Denver Railroad yester day." On the same subject the Omaha Re publican of the 10th says : The swarm of emigrants who are arriving here daily from the east 1 unpreceded in -the history of railroad ing in this section of the county. We made mention of this fact a day or two ago, in connection with which we stated that there was a lack of cars on tlfe Union Pacific Railroad, and that the emigrants could not receive transportation westward as fast as they arrived. The railroad official have been making everv exertiou in j every direction to secure cars, and they have already received considera ble assitance from other roads. The spectacle presented at the Un ion Paclfiic depot every day at two o'clock in the afternoon is well worih seeing. The immense crowd of men women and children, of all ages, and representing so many nationalities, who fill the platforms, watting the time when they can board the train, is indescribable. So many are arriving daily that all cannot be sent west immediately; pome have to wait here another day for the malcing up of another train. During the last few days the block ade ha been po extensive that the emigrant train has been run as a spec ial train. Yesterday's train consisted of fif teen full care, containing about five hundred persons. The train left this city at about 6 P. jr. Another item In the Republican, of same date says : Twenty-seven cars of emigrante went wen yesterday. The statistics kept at the tnion Pacific depot show that 7.SO0 emigrant went West from1 me JSl oi Jiartu up iu ibh cu..uo nicht, April 4th. and about 2.500 . i . -.., n.ir.n., tii,t,nrn,i.iinn fhatnewas irenerallv m- uiureuitkEi'oiiic uuj .uno iuv-v. time up to last night. The Republican says the major. part of this travef in search of new home is-now bound for California, but Nebraska is catching some of them, and then truly adds : "Nebraska offers far trreater Induce ments to the emigrant than California does, and families who locate with - ipourooraerswiiueuiucuutsiitfr.m inau II tney puueu on vo uie rm-iuc coast.

Xext Monday, 19th Inst., one hun dred year? ago, the first blood of the Revolution wa3 shed and the first bat tle for freedom from the rule of King George, was fought. ''There wa creat moral eablimltj In the rising of the colonies against the parent' coun try ; for it was material -weakness ar rayed against material strength, There "ere more than three thousand British troops In Boston, on the first of April, 1773. Confident In his pow er. Gage felt certain that he could re press insurrections, and keep the peo ple qniet. Yet he felt uneasy con cerning the gathering of ammunition and stores, by the patriots, at Con cord, sixteen miles from Boston. To- xvard midnieht, on the ISth April,. he secretly dispatched eight hundred j men, under Jieutenant-colonex temitn and Major Pitcairn, to destro3' them. So carefully had" he arranged the ex pedition, that he believed It to be en tirely unknown to the patriots. AH hi3 precautions were vain. The vigi lant Dr. Warren, who was secretly watching all tbe movements of Gage, became aware of the expedition early In tbe evening; and when it moved Paul Revere, one of the most active of the Sons of Liberty in Boston, had landed at Charlestown, and was on his way to Concord to arouse the in habitants and minute men. Soon afterward, chureh-bel!s. muskets, and cannons spread the alarm over the country; and. when, at dawn, on the 19tb of April, 1775 a day memorable in the annals of our Republic Pit cairn, with the advanced guard, reached Lexington, a few miles from Concord, he found seventy determin ed men drawn up to oppose him. Pit cairn rode forward and shouted : "Disperse!, disperse, -you rebels! Down with your arm, and disperse!" They refused obedience, and he or dered his men to fire. That dreadful order wa3 obeyed, and the first blood of the Revolution flowed upon the tender grass on the Greeu at Lexing ton. Eight citizens were killed, sev eral were"wounded, and the remain der were dispersed. The last survivor of that noble band died in March, 1S54, at tbe age of almost ninety-six 3ears. Confident of full success, the Brit ish now pressed forward to Concord, and destroyed the stores. They were terribly annoyed by the minute-men on their way, who fired npon them from behind walla, trees, and build Incs. Havins accomplished their purpose, and killed several more Dat I riots in a skirmish there, the royal j troops hastily retreated to Lexington. The country was now thoroughly arpused, and minute-men were gath ering by scores. Nothing but the timely arrival of Lord Percy with re inforcements, saved the eigtrt- hun dred men from total destruction The whoia Uady now retreated. Ail the way back to Bunker's Hill, in Charl estown, the troops were terribly as sailed by the patriots ; and when, the following morning they crossed over to Boston, they ascertained their loss to be, in killed and wounded, two hundred and seventy-three. Theloss of the Americans in killed, wounded, and missing, was one hundred and three." Extract from the letter of Beecher to Moulton, written June 1st, 1S73. in which is expressed entire abandon ment of all hope of keeping Tilton from developing the scandal : "I have determined to make no more resist ance; Theodore's temperament is such that the future, even if tempora- ' rily earned, would be absolutelj- worthless, filled with abrupt charges, and rendering me liable at any hour or day to be obliged to stultify all the devices by which we have saved our selves. It is only fair that he should know that the publtcationof the card which he proposees would leave him far worse off than before. The agree ment was made after my letter thro' you was written ; he bad it a year; he had condoned his wife's fault ; he had enjoined upon me, with the al most earnestness aud solemnity, not to betray his wife, nor leave his chil dren to a slight ; I had houestly and earnestly joined in the purpose." In answer to a question by his at- tomey. Mr. Evarta, as to what he meant by "he (Tilton) had condoned his wife's fault," Mr. Beecher said : "I understood the matter to be slm pl3 as I then .understood it and as suredly believed it was. that his wile had transferred to me her affection. That, in consequence of such trans fer, she was led to a separation be tween herself and her husband and to almost breaking up of the house hold. That I regarded as her fault so.far as he was concerned and which he had forgiven." Elizabeth had transferred her affec tion, her love, from her husband to another man. that man was himself. Why did he come to such an under standing? How did he find it out? What made him- believe that this wife of another man loved him better than she loved her husband? More than that, that she had completely transferred her love from the one she ! bad sworn to I&ve to Henry Ward Beecher? Since he "rias Beer on the wjtDesstand he ha- sworn that Mrs m , , .. , . , . hnnirilt , il,luu !"- " "---"- : ---. - erallv slooDing over wild religion, and that nothing ever did occur be- tween him ana .i.zauein m woru ur , LecfslatlJre an appropriation of 50. act that was not In accordance witn wflg ma(e M a charity fund to s. tbe strictest rules of propriety, and 1 those who had suffered from the that no woman's deportment could j raJd of the gra55hoppers and dry be more modest. Yet in some-way or , . jother he discovered that she had j lraosferred her love from her husband F.vorvihln-z was carried on to him. Everything between them with the greatest pro priety- and religious exactness; yet j ..jn consequence of that transfer she uu il-cu i:ii. u ... i He knew all about It all the whys ond wherefores that she loved him. left her husband on account of that love, and all these "things occurred without a single Impure word, action or thought occurring between them, or on the part of either.. Elizabeth ia j as innocent as a little angel, and her broad shouldered, thick necked" lover utterly iucapable of an amorous thought, and as impotent for a sexual embrace as an ox ! It is alL a, very likely story. This Is a? bad season for regular Re publican tickets iu Nebraska, but it Is only "tuning up" compared with the music that will be beard nexr fall. .Frank E. Johnson (dem.) id elected Mayor of Biownville, and J. B. Docker (dem.) Clerk. We clip the above from the Star, a Democratic paper printed In Lincoln differ- If Democrats are elected, so ence how, the fact is thrown in you face as a Democrat victory. The truth Is in these cased that if any par- tv can claim a victory it is the Re- pahcan partv? for Johnson and Docker were suggested and nomiuat- ea by the Republicans and run with out oppo-ition and the principal in fluences brought to bear for the suc cess, of the Mayor elect especially, were by the leading Republicans of the city.

We used to hear that one southern man could whip le northern men, but we af terwards learned that the chivalry and bravery of rebels consisted more in words than In deeds. - V - T" COSSTITUTIO.TAL.

Several other houses were demolished and persons hurt, but none fatally. The same storm visited LittleRock, Arkansas, and other places south, do- fng more or less damage. At Little Rock several houses were wrecked aod five or six persons killed. At the third annual sale of short horned cattle held on the 9th inst., at Dexter Park, Chicago, eight best cow3 and heifers sold at prices ranging from $200 up to $1,2S0. The average price of 37 cows and heifers sold wa3'a predicament somewhat similar to $502.

The list of property at tached embraces everything known to be in possession of Tweed at the time of the exposure, and which he passed into the hands of other parties. Michael Sullivan vrss hanged at New Brunswick, N. J., on Friday, April 9th, for the murder of Daniel Talniage.

The government of Spain has con cluded to send 15,000 soldiers to Cuba. On the night of the Sth inst. L. R. Leye, in Philadelphia, killed his wife and then himself. It is claimed that Jersey county, Illinois, has 60,000 acres of growing wheat. A larger acreage of wheat, oats and corn is being cultivated In Tar rant county, Texas, this year than ev er before. The wheat and oats look splendid, and promise large yields. Corn is up and growing. Evius Larkin, of Taborville, Mo., committed suicide last wfiek.

Nebraska Advertiser Permit me through your" valuable " : paper to say a word to tne people, and , . . r M'- t t -n.. .,. - i especiaiiv me isa. paer, oi emau"; . ,,. . T .,, ,, 4 fho fact that at tbe la9t gegaIon of our i my Ignorance, supposed that as It was an appropriation to which each- tax j payer of the State would be called up on to contribute, each section of the State was entitled to an equitable share according to the necessities of the case. But It seems from the light that time and recent developments have tbrowmupon the matter that no fsuch thing wa3 lutendeu, and tnat while every tax payer was expected to contribute to said appropriation, the benefits were to be enjoyed by but a certain class, and the distribu tion of aid was to be confined to cer tain localities and certain organiza tions. The west part of our county suffered extensively, in common with the counties further west, and while the great majority were able to crowd through the winter and procure seed for this spring's sowing and planting, there are some instances where this Is not the oase. I have two neighbors whcareof this class. They nre bard working, sober, but poor men, and I thought as they had nothing in the shape of grain, not even feed for their teams, and no money to buy with. ! that they were entitled to a little aid i from the eaid State appropriation, and r by their urgent reque-t l worte a let ter to Church Howe stating ttieir cas es and asking only seed for them with which to sow and plant their ground. About a week afterward I received a letter from one of the "Grange" Committee at Lincoln, stat injr that no aid be could procured by these men except through the P. of H., but referring. them to the State Aid Societv at Omaha. At their re- . t .. - .- .r... o ;a fully as I could. In about a week or ten day .after I received a letter from the State Aid Society, which-1 here copy verbatim : "Sir: We are not supplying Ne maha county with seed." Now, here Is the letter, and all of It. except the address. Now, as the law yer says. I respectfully demur to this whole-matter from beginning to end. j In the first place it is a grave matter j of "doubt with me whether the Legis lature has power to tax my property ! for the purpose of dispensing a charity T3.it- T on-i tMllinrr tr nlt?o tKia if f liQt i nKnrid rt n ka anttltnKK il f.2 r. an2all but if it was intended to di.-pense charity to the members of the P. of H. exclusively, and that at the pub- a.iwl lie expense, and to thus compel con jjj, j tributions from those outside this or- IS eanizfltion in the shane of taxation. I l!... ooject. Another point and I am done for the present. The Baid Relief and Aid Society received, as I understand tbe matter, one-half of the aforesaid $50,000, and were thus constituted the dispensers of the charity of the State to Individual necessitous cases. Nowi their answer to the application here tofore named, coming as it does with out any explanation or comment, I consider aa insult to every tax payer of Nemaha county. We are inform j ed emDhfitica!iv that our taxes will help to replace the said appropriation I to the State treasury, yet, however necessitous may be the cases of desti tution in the county, no aid can be procured unless it may possibly be through the County Grange. Now, If this is the rule, the parties manag ing this affair will find themselves in pants that had been hanging .up for some time, and when he got them on found that a hornet's nest had been built in the seat.
