I3IPROVEMEXTS.
We have, since we commenced the
publication of a paper in this city,
urged improvement. Our reasons for
so doing have been, and still are, that
the public good might be subserved.
We believe that a town without any
public spirit, in this age of progress,
will never arrive at any decree of
importance, however great its nat
ural advantages. Believing thus, and
desiring to see Plattstnouth assume
her proper place among the cities of
the west, we set about stirring up the
latent energies of our citizens. For
thus "meddling" with affairs in which
we have no more personal interest
than any other citizen but just as
much we have received the curses
(behind our Lack) of many who eith
er do not wish the city to prosper or
cannot see that a spirit of improve
ment is necessary to prosperity. We
urged the laying of sidewalks, con
struction of bridges, &.c, until the end
was accomplished the work done.
We were denouecedas "meddling wi th
that which did not concern us," at that
time; and yet we do not believe that
there is a man in the city who doer
not now rejoice at the strides our city
has made in the way of improvement
during the past year. Later, we have
urged the necessity of erecting a first
class hotel building; and as usual find
those who oppose our efforts in this
particular, asserting that we are work
ing against the interests of those who
are already engaged in the hotel bus
iness in our city. Now, we wish to
set ourselves right before the people
of th?s community, as well as those at
a distance, on this subject. We have
never said one word against the keep
ing of any hotel in the place, for
we have every reason to believe that
mr hotel keepers do all that lies in
their power to make their customers
comfortable, and succeed as well as any
others in the country. But we do know
that if we had a larger, well furnished
hotel building it would add materially
to the prosperity of our city. We do
know that the fact of our not having
euch a building has been used as an
argument and that by men who had
a deep interest in the matter against
establishing a line of coaches between
here and Ft. Kearney. Now we say
to one and all who feel an interest in
the growth and prosperity of the city
and surrounding country, lend a help
ing hand in the matter of stirring up
a spirit of public improvement. If we
make a misstep in regard to what is to
the best iutetests of the whole com
munity, show us wherein and we will
endeavor to correct it. But do not try
to throw cold water on the efforts of
those who are honestly working for
the advancement of the city and coun
try. Have not the citizens of Platts
tnouth sufficiently felt the effects of a
"do nothing" policy in years past?
Do they desire us to say nothing in
regard to general improvements
make no suggestions to what we think
would advance the interests and im
portance of our city? We assure them
that such a course would relieve us of
much labor; yet we could not in jus
tice to the public adopt such a cour.e,
neither do we believe our citizens de
sire us to.
There are fault-finders in every
community men who do not appear
to know that there is a general good
to be accomplished, which does not, at
all times, advance their individual in
terests; and we suppose Plattsmouth
is entitled to her proportion of such
men. We must do the best we can
with them, and try to reason them out
of their false ideas.
gWe heard an humble and com
plaisect Teuton grimly remark to his
landlord the other day. while paying a
rent he could afford, "Ha, Ha! wait till
the cholera comes, and then you'll give
us cheaper rent."
Till: COLLAPSE I STATE.
The few journals of the Territory
which have given their feeble support
to the state movement, have lately pro
duced some very doleful articles on
this subject, evidently brought about by
the action of Congress, in the ques
tion of admitting Colorado.
The haste with which this measure
was crammed down the throats of the
pecple, by our list legislature, has
been counteracted by the medical treat
ment instituted at Washington, which,
like a powerful emetic, has produced
a very general nausea and is likely lu
cause the public stomach to throw up
and eschew "the hastily franed consti
tution." This is just what we predict
ed, we asked for a new enabling act
and that the usual course be pursued
but the Young America politicians of
the "fast town" inflated vith the conta
gious gas that produced the Train
epidemic at Omaha, couldn't wait. The
dignity and importance of the move
ment were thrown aside and to-day we
see the results of trusting ourselves to
such men. Colorado has been refused
admission on grounds that utterly de
prive us of any hope of entering the
Union of States under the present
constitution. No doubt Congress
would cheerfully accord us a new en
abling act if properiy asked for. But
fnr a handful of men in Nebraska to
force themselves into Congress contra
ry to hw and usage is simply absurd,
and this is precisely what the aiders
and abetters of the present State move
men! are doing. We recommend the
conventions, about to assemble, to
adjourn siue die without nominating
officers, and issue an address to the
people in view of all the facts, recom
mending them to stay at home on the
day of election.
The election will be simply a farce
and nroductive of no cood. Let the
t
DeoDle of Nebraska exercise a little
good sense and stop this nonsense be
fore it reaches a climax.
IUUIIT AGAI.Y.
We have labored faithfully for what
we conceive to be the interests of Ne
braska as a whole, and esneciallv in
the matter of railroads. When we
first advocated the location of the ini
tial noint of the 1'acihc ltailroaa on
the Republican river, we were hooted
by nearly every man and newspaper
in Nebraska as "sectional;" but as peo
pie begin to reason on the subject we
rind them favoring the measure as one
of vital importance to Nebraska.
The Press comes out manfully and
acknowledges that it was in error, and
takes strong grounds in favor of the
Republican route, advising the people
of South Platte to petition Congress to
make the proposed change in the loca
tion. We make the following extract
from an article on the subject, which
appeared in the Press of the 17th inst:
About three months ago we noticed
the attempt that was being made by
Colorado and Kansas to secure a
change of the line of the Pacific Rail
road from the Platte valley to the Re
publican valley, but through the mis
understanding confounded this move
ment with one that is being made by
the south branch of the Pacific Rail
road to secure a change in the location
of that road by which, it may be built
over the Smoky Hill route, instead of
to the lOOih Meridian. There is no
fear however that this last movement
will succeed, but if the former one
should, we doubt not that it would be
eminently beneficial to Southern
Nebraska.
It will change the initial poin to that
road only about twenty miles south,
and will change the line of the road so
as to run through Denver City and
Berthoud Pass to Salt Lake a shorter
and belter route than the one now pro
posed, which leaves Colorado eighty
miles to the south
SATAN KEKLKIXG SIX.
Or in other words, J. Sterling Mor
ton pitching into a newspaper editor
for publishing some ar.icle which he
distorts into an attack on the Pope.
Sterling, in the JS'ews of the 14th,
starts out as the champion of religion,
and ends with the use of language that
would ill become the veriest buffoon
or blackguard in the land. He speaks
of Heaven as a place that Union men
expect to fir'd "full of niggers, and that
colored angels will play spiritual bones,
etherial banjoes and impalpable violins,
and indulge in spectral hoe-downs for
ever." When a man gets so low down
as to resort to such means to make
converts to his political faith, we think
he is to be pitied rather than despised.
EXDORSIXO THE PRESIDENT.
Will those who are so fierce in their
endorsment of the President's speech
and veto endorse his entire adminis
tration? If not, will they allow those
who have endorsed his administration
from the commencement to condemn
him for this one act? lis consistent; if
you think it necessary for us to sus
tain the President entire will not the
same rule apply to those who sustain
bis speech end veto?
''HOPE DEFERRED.
Our friends at Nebraska City have
labored so long, and met with so many
repulses, in their endeavors to turn the
B. & M. R. R. towards their city, that
it really does look sinful in any one to
further impose upon them by holding
out to them any ray of Lope for the
consummation of that object so devout
ly sought; and yet it looks hard to
rudely tear away the vail that obscures
their mental vision upon this subject.
Some person bus again inspired "hem
with hope by writing a letter, in which
he says the B. &. M. U. R. Co. are
pushing their line rapidly across the
State of Iowa, and intimates that if
J'cbraska City has a road completed to
Red Oak Junction upon the completion
of the B. Sc M. It. R. to that point,
they may conclude to run cars over it
until their road is completed to Plaits
mouth. Now, although Otoe county is
largely Democratic, we had given her
people credit for too much serue to be
lieve any such lom-foolery as that the
B. & M. R. R. Co. would deviate one
iota from their establi-hed line, or that
the road to this city would be delayed
one hour on account of a branch winch
they might construct to lied Oak ad
mitting that they would ever build it.
We hope Nebraska City may have a
railroad soon, yet we would suggest
to them that the surest way to get
western connection, as well as eastern,
would be to run a little brance up to
Plattsmouth, while they are in the
railroad business.
THE FIVE PEIt CENTUM.
We received the following by yes
terday's mail, and hasten to 'ay it be
tore our readers. It explains itself
and needs no comment.

ESFThe Missouri is now in excel
lent boating condition tc St. Joseph.
We have news from a place called
Omaha away up in the Arctic regions.
On Saturday last people were crossing
the river at that point on the ice, and
snow was falling very rapidly.
We find the above in the St. Louis
Republican of the 10th inst. We have
heard of the place mentioned; it is sit
uated somewhere between here and
the rnouth of the Yellow Stone, and
has attracted considerable attention
among a certain class of people on ac
count of the extensive "gas" works lo
cated there. At last accounts their
communication with the lower world
was still cut off by barriers of ice
The river is clear of ice as far up as
here, and steamboats are plying reg
ularly between Plattsmouth and St
Joseph.
OTOE COUNTY BONDS.
In speaking of giving the commiss
ioners of Otoe county authority for is
suing bonds to the amount of S200.000
to be used in trying to form a rail
road connect icn east, the Press says:
"If the appropriation shall be ordered
it will place Otoe county on the high
road to prosperity; if it is not, it dooms
her to eternal insignificance." We
learn the farmers are uncompromi
singly opposed to the appropriation,
and denounce the whole affair as ille
gal. They propose to test the valid
ity of the vote, provided it goes in fa
vor of the appropriation.
Ki?OIiver Perry Mason has been
making a State speech nt Brownville,
where he appears to have made but
few converts. The audience is said to
have been composed mostly of anti
State men, and the Hon. O. P. was
bused several limes during his speech.
CAN'T UNDEIt STAND.
We had thought our posiiion upon
the speech and veto of President John
son was made sufficiently clear that
any man who could read English need
not a.k us to define'it a second lime;
yet Dr. Miller, of the Omaha Herald,
asks us if we "endorse the speech,
veto, message and restoration policy,
as interpreted by both of the Presi
dent of the United States."' That
ihe Dr. may know exactly where to
find us, at all times, we would say that
we endorse nothing that is calculated
to throw four millions of people, who
were loyal io their government under
adverse circumstances, upon the mercy
of unrepentant rebels who proclaim
unt'lushingly that thoy are "only whip
ped, not conquered;'' men who show
by every act that they only lack the
power to make the condition of those
four million of loyal people worse than
it was when the laws of the land made
them iheirs, body and soul. Does the
Herald comprehend?
NEW SILVER DISCOVERIES.
Until quite recently we have been
laboring under the impression that the
best sibver mines in Colorado were sit
uated in Argentine and Snake river
districts, while manv believed that the
region of which Georgetown is the
cei.ter, was psrhaps superior to either.
Not long since a party of enterprising
"diggers" developed the fact that there
exists in our very midst silver mines of
marvellous richness, possessing the rare
advantage in addition of wide crevices.
Elkhorn Gulch, situated between Rus
sell's Gulch and Virginia Canon has
been the scene of considerable excite
ment in consequence of these discover
ies, which has now extended to the op
posite side of the ridge, where still
another district has been formed under
the title of "Gilson's Gulch,'' and where
the entire section is literally "alive"
with eager men turning up the antede
luvian soil in every direction in their
search after the hidden wealthy'-Several
fine veins, showing liberal masses
of rich ore have been uncovered, and
specimens assayed, the result being
highly satisfactory to those concerned.
We are informed that some four miles
below Idaho, on the divide between the
Gregory and Clear Creek Canons, very
encouraging indications are reported,
and many have gone there to prospect
for silver. Miners Register.
ATTEMPT TO KIEL, GEN. IIOO
EKTS. Gen. Roberts, whose wife is a
daughter of Maj. Culberton, came
with his lady on a visit to Peoria, Sat
urday last, stopping at Mr. Cyrus Cul
bertson's house. Gen. Roberts from
some cause, incurred the dislike of
Jack Culbertson, brother of his wife,
about the time of his marriage, and
has been before attacked by him. On
iheir arrival, Jack was in town and
met all of his friend with cordiality,
until he came into the room where
Gen. Roberts was standing, when he
immediately drew his revolver and at
tempted to shoot him. The Gen. see
ing the motion, also drew a pistol, and
nothing but the instant interference of
others prevented him from laying his
asailant dead at his feet. This is the
third time that his brother-in law has
attacked Gen. Roberts. Jack was ar
rested and locked up in jail. Peoria

The G ROVER & BAKEIl EI.ATIC-STITC II SEW
lS(i MACHINKS are superior to ail others for th
follott'inft: reasons :
1. They sew direct from the poo', and require ni.
rewinding of thread.
2. I hey are more easily understood and used, and
legs liable to tieran itemeu i th in oiher machines.
8. They are capable of exetn-ing perfectly, with
out chan-e of ailjulinnt, a much greater Variety if
work than other machines.
4 The siitch mad- by tbeae machines I much
more firm, elastic aud durable, especially upon arti
cles which require Io be washed and Ironed, than
bdt other s itch
5. This atilcb, owing to the manner In which the
urple' t read is inwrouifht, is mach the moat plump
and beautiful in u-e, and tctains this plumpness and
teaaty even upon articlirs frequently wa-hed and
ironed until they are worn nut.
C The structure of the s. aui ia such Ihat. though
it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitr.h
es.lt will neither open, run or ravel, but remains
firm and durable.
7- Unlike other machines. tLe fasten both ends
of the team by their nwn operation.
9. With these midlines, whil- silk Is rued upon
the right or face fide of the aean, eotfon may be
used upon the other aide without lessening the
strength ir durability of the am. Ibis can be
done on no other machine, and Is a irreat saving upon
all articles stitched or ma te up with silk.
9. Tbise machines, in addit ou to their superior
merits as instruments for s wing, by a change of ad
justment, easily learned and practiced, execut the
most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna
mental work.
