Hiichcock, M C, to one of our citizens, and Ehows that our delegate is mindful of the wants of his constituent: I have obtained two new post-routes from PlatUmoutl), west and south-west. Ono following substantially your Fug pestions, via GlenHale and the Salt Creek Valley, to Beatrice, in Gage county a little further than you asked for. The other from Platumouth to the Weeping Water. These are de clared post routes by act of Congre.f; which the firtt step towards obtaining service, lhe next is to induce the Postmaster General to put service on said routes something I hope I shall be able to do, and I assure you I shall leave nothing undone which will tend to accomplish that result. I think I shall succeed." This will be pood news to our friends up the great vallies of Salt Creek and Weeping Water, who have suffered long and patiently all the inconveniences of the present miserable arrangement for carrying their mails. We hope a tri-weekly, at least, will be run on these important routes. The Salt I3ain is rapidly filling up with an enterprising and energetic population, and it is high lime their wants in this respect should be looked up. Success to our worthy delegate. COL.IIAI, Of the Brownville Advertiser, appears to hare given some of the colons of Nebraska a little trouble by his blunt manner of "'spitting out" wholesome truths. Robertson introduces a reso lution to exclude him from the courte sies of the House, because he dared to criticise tha acts of the Hon. Mr. Tay lor, of Nemaha county. When the resolution was brought up for action, this Hon. gentleman said: "He had a good excuse for not being present at the beginning .of the session, and did not care what (he fuzzy editor of the Advertiser said in lhat regard. To the other charges he plead guilty. He hud not paid his bill for printing tickets at the last election, because Mr. Culhap had undertaken to collect 10, an amount which looked like a &mal! attempt at a swindle. He d:d not take the Advertiser, because he was sup plied with much bffer readine matter; and he di 1 not think the Advertiser worth the patronizing." And this is the man sent by the Union men of Nemaha county to represent iheni al the capital. Don't take hie county paper, and refuses to pay the editor of the paper SIC for furnishing him tickets and carrying him through a campaign as a 'dad weight" to the balance of the ticket (as such a man must be)! and after he has been thu safely carried through, he stays away, (of course he could not be there.) and allows the organization of the legisla ture to go by default; and then has the simplicity to state publicly that he re fused to pay this :::all sum of money, and denounces the paper that has been his sfpning-stone to the legislature, without a cent of pay, as "net worth the patronizing." l?SSNebraska City is eighty miles nearer Fort Kearney than any other freighting point on the Missouri river, and the best road running west, and as a muter of-course freight can be trans ported from this point cheaper. J . Only eighty miles? If we are not very'niuch mistaken, it is only thirty miles from Plattsmouth to Nebraska City; but we suppose Nebraska City has swelled the o.her fifty miles. You had belter look out, Mr. .Yeirs, or the Omaha George Frncis, who gives money for the sir port of Christianity and the influence of his paper against it, will accuse you of being "sectional." COXSTITUTIOX PASSED. We learn, bj private source, that the Constitution passed the House to-day, and the time specified for voting upon it is the 2d day of June. Thus the matter is placed before the people, for their approval or condemnation. We propose to be heard from on the i.ub ject, and shall pursue such course as we think will be to ihe interests of the people. In the meantime, we are anxious to see the document, and tope every voter in the Territory will read and digest it thoroughly. Ci.ev.ao. O., Feb. 9. John W. Hushes, for the murder of Tamsen Parson, was handed at 1 o'clock this I JffSThe precipitous and deforming bluff that stands in the attitude of a for tification, defying approach to Omaha from the river, should be removed. It is a. hideous obstruction to a view of even our levee, and impresses the stranger with no very favorable ideas of our location. The flat lands in frcnt of the plateau are left as cess-pools for stagnant water, and furnish the best possible conditions for the manufacture of lhat occult poL-on in which our epi demies originate, which is called ma laria for want of a better name. All along our river front, from Sulphur Spring to the Stone Quarry, the rum mer feason is busy in producing this dangerous source of disease. Heat, moiMure and decaying vegeiutiou are the source of our fevers, and in no part of this country are these conditions more richly concentrated than in the immediate front of the town. Drains do not seem to remove the water on the bottoms. becaus3 they are the receptacle into which the whole ad jacent hills surrounding are drained. We clip the above from the Omaha Herald, and hope we will not again be called 'sectional." CORRESPONDENCE. Omaha, Tuesday, Feb, G. Ed. Herald: A bill passed lhe House to day extending the charter of the city of Plattsmouth. An amendment was made to the Revenue Law, so that Road Supervi sors need only give a certificate for la bor on the road instead of swearing lo each receipt as heretofore. In committee of the whole a motion was adopted to increase the amount of School Tax. Some of the members from your county have been very anx ious to change the present School Law, so as to abolish the Sab-District system. It ought to be done. All attempts to pass the Credit Fon cier bill over the Governor's veto have been abandoned; but Mr. Lake to-day introduced a new bill with lhat title, said to be unobjectionable; perhaps so. The Democracy feel pretty sore over their defeat last Saturday in their at tempt to place the Union members in a false position; they were completely out generalled, and had to swallow their own medicine. The ''Great Mogul" of the party has been here for nearly a week, and he and Miller are said to have made a desperate effort to prevent any of the Democracy in the House from aiding the State movement, but it is said thai they have signally failed; certain it is that some Democrats here are ashamed of their lenders, and are too honest for either tools or dupes. The Chief Clerk of the House, Mr. May, is spoken very highly of by all pirties as being promp., correct and attentive to his business, and although some of the Democrats have twice been ashamed of the record, and have at tempted to change it, the House has almost unanimous!' sustained him. Asos. Omaha, Feb. 7th. Ed. Herald: The proposed Con stitution passed its second reading in the House to-day; its principal fea'ures are biennial sessions of the Legislature of 40 days each. The qualifications of voters are the same as at present, and the number of Senators and Rep resentatives, and the Couuciland Rep resentative districts remain unchanged. Provision is made lhat the State cannot contract a debt exceeding 50,000 00 without submitting the matter to a vote of the people. The State is divided into three judicial districts, and the judges hold their offices for a term of mx years, at a salary of S2.000 per annum. A lax of S5 is to be laid ou every suit commenced in the district court, and SlO in the supreme court. The Governor is to be elected for a term of two years, at a salary of Sl.000 per annum, and a Secretary of State at a salary of $600, and an Auditor, to hold his office for a term of four years, at a salary of SSOO. aud a Treasurer at a salary of S600. The Credit Foncier bill, which was permitted to be introduced into the House, passed to day. It is claimed that it obviates the principal objections made by the Governor. It certainly is a big thing, and if it passes in its pres ent form 1 trust that the Governor will again interpose his veto. As a rule, any bill that requires as much pressure to pass it as this has c jght to be closely exr.ruutd. A?o5. BY TELEGRAPH. TO THE DAILY HERALD. New York. Feb. 9 The execmion of John Hackett, for mrder. which was to have taken place at the Toombs to-day, has been postpor.ed, a stay of proceedings having teni granted for the purpose of taking his case to the Supreme Court. A verdict of guilty was rendered by the jury in the case of Nelson Stewart, tried in the District Court of Brooklyn on a charge of counterfeiting National curreLcy. A report prevails in thii city that the well known minstrel. Arch Hughes, was shot by a South American rebel refugee, in Montreal, on Wednesday night. The Tribunes Washington special says a board ct otiicers will assemt.ie at Washington, on March, 20th, l&CG, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to examine upon the followm" questions and make recommendations thereon: 1st. Just what form and calibre of breech-loading arm should be adopted as a model for future construction pf muskets for infantry. j 2d. What form and calibre should be i adopted as a model for future construc tion for cavalry carbines. 3J. What form of breech loading should be adopted as a model for change of muskets already constructed to breech loading muskets. Whoever submits an arm to the above board will be requested to state in writ ing the lowest price at which it will be furnished in the event of its being adopted by the Government. The re port of the board will be made through the Chief of Ordnance. Major Gen. Hancock is senior officer of the board. New York, Feb. 9. The Tribune's Washington special gives the following as the true note returned by Gen. B F. Butler to G-n. Grant, in answer to an invitation to attend his recep'ion: "Gen. Builer lias the honor to de cline the invitation of Lieutenant General Gram. Gen Butler has no desire fdr further acquaintance." Col. Rowlinds, in behalf of the Northern Pacific R. R., notified the Government two days ago that the com pany was prepured and about to con struct the line. SuDscnpiions will soon be opened, and an effort made to push the work vigorously. A Buenos Ayres correspondent says that the loss of all the Paraguayan troops lhat had invaded Urazil by cross ing the river, was followed by the pre cipitate retreat to their own Territory of all their force that were occupying the Corrientes. For more than a week the work of consolidating lhe allied land and i.avul forces had progressed so fast that on the 25ih of January t!ify would make a grand combined attack with 4,o00 troops, and 30 war steamers on the Paraguayan liver. The point of at tack is said to be a place of immense strength, mounting over 100 heavy euns.ar.d rendered difficult of approach by submerged torpedos; it i backed by a Paraguayan army of 1.3, 000 or 20, 000 troops, and a coniderable fleet. The march of lhe allies in pursuit of ihe retreating Paraguayans across the province of Corron'.us, to the Paraguay river, for 30C miles through an almost uninhabited country, ia described os one of the greatest difficulty and suffer ing; hundreds: of the troops periihed on th way and ipany other deserted New Yon. Feb. 9. Senor Mc Kanna, pu'iliihd a ltter in the Herald this morning, attempting to explain the circumstances connected with the recent proceedings against him on suspicion of his implication in a scheme to fit out an expedition in this rity to assist Chili in her war with Spsin. He says that all the mysterious details, and novel inci dents of his arrest published by the pa pers are each and all of them fictions, gotten up to excite curiosity, or pprhaps dictated by less noble motives. He is assured lhat Spanish agents were found in the neighborhood of his house at the lime the attempt was made to take him io prison. II e says that at this time he will not say a single word in regard to the alleged proposal to fit out an expe dition against lhe dominions of ihe Queen of Spain, neither will he explain the meaning of dispatches from the Chilian minister at Washingten. At the proptr time all this will come be fore the grand jury of the people and the tribunal of juncf . I will come for ward alone to maintain the justice aud legality of my proceedings, and then the people of the civilized world shall know if the grand principles which were the glory, the power and the pres tige of this county in the old time, as to day, are only shadows of the past, or if they mny still be seen like a rain bow of hope by freemen and free peo ple, who may be subjected to the ag gressions of crowned usurper, from the Rio Grande to the Archipelago of Chili.

Instruction have been dispatched to the Spanish Admiral to avenge the national honor. Madrid papers absoluiely frown with rage, and the military journals assert that Spain is not bound io put up with insults from any nation in the world. One demands thai whenever a palace, a house or a hut, inhabited by these bastard children of ours, by these par ricides, may be seen, then must tha Spanish shell fall; whilst a provincial P'per gravely warns France. England aud the United Stales not to stand be tween Sraiu aud her foes. The Chilian meeting lately held in New York has called forth lively fears iu Spain for the safety of Cuba, aod the general excitement had been still further aug nented by the appearance on the Spanish coast of two iron-clad frigates, supposed to be the rams se cretly supplied by Alabama Legand to the Chilian govt inment. The Madrid correspondent of the London Times states that the war is nut only with one or two of the rr publics of th Ances. it is not merely a.'aint a confederacy of all South and Central America, but it my soon have lo be waged with Spain's own subjects of the Antilles, and wilh those Yankee sym pathizers, those loose and dsperate adventurers, ucrth and south, who would undertake to scale heaven for employ ment, and who, if they can not embroil their oan country iu a war io support of the Momoe doctrine, will place men and means enough at the disposal of Spain's enemies to make these more than a maich for her power, and these two iron-cldds in Spanish waters may be only an earnest of what Young America may do in the line of energy, spirit aud enterprise. New York, Frb. 10. The Tri bune's Washington special says the committee from the Virginia Legisla ture in Washington organized yester day by selecting Speaker Baldwin as chairman.
