If PL ATT EMO'JIH, NEBRASKA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1SG7 The 2vV.'. Cry News accuses m "slat-Jcring" Nebraska City, ai:J .10.. r j in . !-.Ti:-.!ii o the mii:J of ucain v f j tho merchant? f that ci:y against tho IIehald and prevent their advenLlng through iu columns. Our o.ll-nsQ in ihis matter consist in critici.ing- the tatem?n:s of the Xexs tint, the B. cc M. R. R. was coining to Nebraska City end that the Chicr-gJ and Northwestern would make its Missouri river terminus at that point. We have 1 ver manifest ed a feeling of friendship for the ma terial iiitrceii of Nebraska City when they did net directly conflict with those cf our own low::; but it is a fact patent t-3 every reader of the J'cws that that journal has persistently foughi every r.Kature that was calculated to benefit Piatt:niouih, both in the political and financial field. It ued its uttucst exertioni to interfere with the land grant of the B. &. M. R. R. with thr expectation that the e.injany would thro .v up th'j grant if hcy wera res tricted to a certain e.xttr.t, and that Ne braska City would then stand a better ihance of getting the road. New we want it tiu'.inctly understood th-t when ever the -ZVeu-s or any other journal at tacks tha interests of this locality that we shall defend them; lut when we can do it in no better makn- r than by try ing to prevent people a lvntuing iu the .Yews vd shall conclude we are pretty law do an in t!.o scale, and quit the bus iness. 'While we respect the rights cf Nebraska City, we at the sama time believe that there are other places in the State, and one of them is located about two miles below tha mouth cf ih Platte river. We believe Nebraska City will havo a railroad, and ws hope she will; but we telieve it will be another than the B. Si M R R or the Chicago aud N. W.; and if the JSTtvrs expects to ever accomplish anything for Nebraska city, it would do well utake tome ether tack than trying to prevent the construction of a road through thi part of the country. We do think that rarpr extremely sillv in continually - - harping about the B. 5c M. R R. corning there, or asserting that tho C. N. W. will cane there, and many cf its read era are of the same opinion, anti if that ii slanJering" Nebraska City we plead guilty. If the .Yews would dis play its powers in R. R. mat er, let it work ns persistently for the building of the Stata Line road, and the building of a road frcm Atchison to the Piatte river, along the west bank of the Mis souri, as it has against the B. M. R. R. It will be of far more benefit to Nebraska City and to the whole State. IVIES IIAItD. The Liltle Rebel is tenacious of life, and kicks and Ibu-vh-n about, regard less of the many unbecoming antic9 i. performs. One day it acknowledges a defeat, and abusos those who have kept life in it, because thpy were unable to give it a richer teat; and tha next day it rears and plunges fearfully and charg es illegal voting upoa individuals pro miscuously without regard to conse quences. It charges Mr. Elootner ar.d John Wuhl with being illegal voter, notwithstanding both of them are said to hare votod for the men that it says would be elected if tImo votes wire thrown cut. It flounders on in its ago ny end charges Mr. Ljl-J wi-h being v.a illegal voter, when it wa wtll known by the Democratic judges cf e'eeti ui that he came here in Septem ber last; and it even goes bo far as to hope Mr. Crow will t11 cut Lis prop erty here. We reru.ne this last t-x-pressioti mul arise frcm a desire to get Mr. Crow oot of the country because he dared to decide that a negro was a legal voter. Ravo on, Little Rebel. Abuse the men who voted your ticket, and call your party friends "fools" be cause they were unable to give you the necessary food to keep life in your carcas. But when you "give away" that Irick house, bo sure that you have a milk bucket bafore you strike fcr the Canada line, for they are having Fen ian excitements op that way. AXOTIIEXi RADICAL. VICTOIiY. By a private dispatch from Omaha, we learn that the city of Belltvue, in the old Democratic stronghold of Sarpy county, has gone Republican. g5 It is now said positively that no consolidation between the Illinois Central, and the Dubuque & Sioux City Railroads will be effected for the present. AdKICL'liTl'KAL, COLLLGC The bill to extend to the State cf Nebraska the privileges of the ast granting lands to the States for the es tablishment of Agricultural College, was culled up in the Senate on the 30th ult., by Senator Thayer, and passed. Tlie First Wednesday In July is the lime to which Congress adjourned, and Senator Sumner has given notice that upon that day he will call up the bill fcr universal suffrage throughout the United States. COOL.. Tuo Nebraska City .Vcici gives quite a list of Railroads that are expected to come to that place, and among thcrn it dashes the B. &. M. U. II. If tha oth er roads stand the sam: ohance of go ing to Nebraska City ihat this one does, and no better, we are afraid the peo ple of that city will Lave to travtl many miles to eve-r Lear the whistle of the locomotive. The .Yews cla:m3 that their city ii to be the Missouri river ter minus of the Chicago Sc. North western road. We have all along known that it waa hard up for Railroad arguments, l ut did not suppose it reduced so low as to attempt to insult the intelligence of the people with such stuff". WIL.L. TilEl ? It is an undisputed fact that it re quires the ant of ov.9 or both the Nebraska Senators to have an appoint Mi?nt for Nebr.i.-ka coi firmtd by the Senate. Will th?y give that assent to sonis of the recent nppointments ? II-? re is what the Nebraska City JVetrs says of one of them : Gen. Silas A. Strickland is said to havo been made U. S. District Attorney for Nebraska. Silas is an oid stager mi the frontier; a I risk gentleman and worthy of aln.ost any position in the oouatry. We have known hira long and well, and as a member of the gal- lunt Sarpy county Democracy, always esteemed him highly. He ftill remains true to the principles of that party. ALL FOOLS. The Little Rebel is very bitter on its party friends and calls the Democracy of Plmumouih. "fools' It is profuse n its epithets against the party becaus they couM not carry the City election, and denounces in the bitterest manner, .very ono who saw fit to vote for a Republican. We object to this, and feel disposed to take the part of the Democracy to some extent when their own organ turns ia to abusing them without cuu?e. It is a fact which no op.e can dispute that the two Democrats who w ?re elected occupy their positions by virtue of Republican votes; and yet the organ cf their party abuses the De mocracy, calls them "fools" because the icket was defeated. There were some Dcmocra'3 who scratched the ticket, and so did many Republicans; but we believe that the average majority for our ticket shows very nearly the party strength. We do not blame the Dem ocratic organ for feeling bad over the result, but it was the fault of the prin ciple cf the party .ot of ihe individuals composing the party; an I if it had an j atom of common seme it would not j abuse its own supporters for a result that was inevitable. IVLVF TCKIHTOKY. A treaty with Russia is in procei-: of negotiation, which will give to the Unittd States the entire Russian Amer ican Possession. There appears to be some hesitancy on the part of the Rus sian Minuter. He told Seward in per son that he had been directed r.ct to .ign the treaty. Seward offered a quarter cf a million more if he would send a dispatch to the Emperor to ac cept the proposition. The price to be paid is $7,2-50,000. Ti.c United States boundary begins at iifty degrees forty minutes, inland ten marine leagues, northwardly la the hundred and forty first, on that meridi an to the pole, south through Bearings' Straits to the western islauds. The fisheries on the Atlantic coasts and the fur regions will be greatly enhanced in value, ar.d no trouble is anticipated run foreign powers. Seward says it enly requires half thai McCuiloeh saved last month to pay for the whole territory. The New York Times says Seward is delighted with the Russian treaty, but there is not much pro?pect of its ratification that requiring a two-thirds vote. SALT CltLEK. ITtJJIS. Ashlasd, Ntb., March 23. Four families arrived here this week from Ashtabula county, Ohio. They have settled on' Waahoo creek, about five miles from this place. It is rumored that Mr. Sweeney, of Pawnee creek, is going to build a large stone edifice here, this spring. Proba bly he intends it for a hotel. Mr. J. II. Sntll is expected to return soon from the Fouth, with a large and well selected stock of spring and sum mer c:ooda. THE I'KOCLiJIATIOX Governor Busier has issued his proc 'amation convening tho State Legisla ture in extra session on the sixteenth day of May. Among- the subjects spe cified for legislation are : The proposed amendments to the constitution of the U. S ; defining boundaries of Represen tative and Senatorial Districts; locating State buildings, and revising the elec tion laws. There are ru-ur fifty differ ent subjects for legislation specified in ihe call. Not to ?is Confirmed. The Omaha Republican claims to have positive intelligence that Lock wood will not be confirmed by the Sen ate as Judge for the District of Ne braska. I THL HCIt L8C; rX AXD MIS SOL III It tILitOAI With an eye upon ihe Union Pacific, the Northwestern, Council BlutT ai.d Si. Joseph, the, Chicago ind Pacific, the Minnesota and; Nebraska, the South western and GalveMon, the Montana Branch, and other act lal and projected railroads that point to and from the fu ture chief ciiy of the Mis-ouri Valley, we do not lose sight of the Burlington and Missouri. This road is rapidly npproachiag the latgreat water-coursp of the continent to meet others that are coming wio equal pa e. Its interests growinsr out of the Land Grant lie to the Southward, and tha fufre main line will probably strike the Salt CreeU" Valley, and go over to the Blue River Vallej, thenc-: to tho Republican Val ley, and so along westward!, as the interests of the Company may direct. We clip the above from the 0;naha Her lid. It is the first item in regard to this road th;-t has come to our notice which has not claimed the road for some other point than its original liiip. Council Ulutis and XN'-oraska City pa pers have invariably claimed that the road was heading for their respective towns; but the; Herald evidently see the truth of the matter, and admits that the road is to be built on the original line, from Plsttsmou h westward SOUTH XEtlKASK.t." Some one writing trcm tuis city to the St. Louis Democrat, and signing him-elf "South Nebraska," treats upon a subject of vast importance to thepeo pie of this State, which is nothing ltss than the building of a Railroad from Atchison, Kansas, a! mg the west banli of the Missouri 10 the Platte river, crossing that stream and tapping the Union Pacific. The plan is plau.ible, and one in which the city of St. Louis should be equally interested, at least, with the people of Nebraska. We ex tract the following : There is already completed a road to Leavenworih, and I understand that there is a roac iu the course of con s. ruction from Leavenworth to Atchison, leaving only a distan.e of some 10'J miles to bs bu-!t. Thn road wiil run through a thickly settled and highly cultivated section of country. There is not a county! through which it would pass frcm Atchison t. this place, but is ible to build the road through its ex- i.t; and in my opinion, subscriptions cf stock could be obtained by (counties and indivduals) along the line, sufficient to build the to.-d All feel the neces sity of such a conneciirn, and are wil ling to contribute their fbare, but there is no person or corporation of sufucient influence t concentrate our energies mid means into the necessary channel. Will St. Louis utep f irward and initi ate the proper ijneasures to accomplish the work. From ix Georgia Unionist. A true Union man who has been through fire and blood in behalf of the Union cause in Gi-oigia, writes from Savannah, to a; friend as follows: "Tha conditi on of society here is bad. With one exceptiou there is not a sin gle Union man in official position in the State. The only qus.ion asked relative to the fitness of a candidate is, 'Has he been ;n the Confederate ser vice?' If he his his election is sure, and the more bitter and rampant hn if, the larger the vote. Complaints come here frum other counties of great cru elties practiced upon Union men of tying, beating and killing. These out rages are the work of self-styled 'regu lators,' and the bandit are o numerous and powerful that the sufferers have no redress. Only a few days ago, a squad of soldiers was tent from here into the inierior counties to protect the people from th; taml of murderers. Tnali in the courts in criminal cases are in most itittanct , farces. Four murder cases hava just been tried and the prisoners were ncquitted. The proof was clear, the crimes were hor rible, but the i iurderers were Rebels, and were f course acquitted. Freed n.en and Yankees do not fare as well when they get into the courts. The churches here are all rebel, and so is nearly the entire press. If I were military commandant cf this District, my first official act would be to suppress every disloyol shett within my juris diction. After that I would suppress the Rebels themselves." B. &. M. R. R TheiUon. Chief Engineer of the Burlington and Mis souri River Railroad, arrived at Pacific City on last Saturday. Mr. T. and his corps of Engineers proceeded to examine the route between Glenwood and Pacific city what conclusions they have come to we have not learr.ed. We expect to hear from them soon, as every indication goes to prove that work will be vom nenced at this end of the road at an early day. Opinion.

The Republican's St. Joe special gives the following account of the Fori Phil.' Kearney massacre, dtrivi-d by the committee from some Crow Indians who received it rrom the Sioux: Th Sioux drew our men out of ihe fort and I " t 1 . J . I II . f l-l Kineu mem an. uur men rnugtit like tigers, and thre were 2,200 Indians engaged in the fight. The strength of the concentiatrd tribes are reported at 2.SUU lodges, which are now moving toward the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. Our men would not have been mastered so easily had they not kept so closely together. The combatants were so mixed up that the Indians 6hot and killed several of iheir own party. The bravery of the bugler was much ad mired, he having kiiled several Jndi ans by beating them on the head with his bugle, fht-y say there were only lt Sioux ana 4 coeyenr.es killed on the field, but after they encamped 91 warriors did of their wounds, and 3U0 others wounded, half of whom thf y ex pected would die, One big Sioux Chie was among the killt-d. Among the men was one on a white horse who cut off an Indian's head with a single stroke. Bridge at St. Locis The St. Louis Democrat says work has already been commenced on the Bridge over ihe M i-sisMppi at mat pmnt. It gives the following as the points of location "It is intended to build from Washing ton Avenue to the dyke; on this side the bridge will reach to the level of Third St., the railroad tracks thence proceeding by tunnel under the streets to the Union Depot; on the other 6ide. th bridge will be reached by raised 1 rw 1 1 -II, J approarnes. me work win De maae of stone ami iron as strong and durable as money and skill can make it.

Steamship' City of Pans, from Liverpool ihe 20th, arrived. In the House of Commons, D'lsraeh in an able and brilliant speech, propos ed the government reform question. He said, with a view of settling th reform question, the government pro posed household suffrage, franchise wiih two years residence and lax pay ing. Out of 733.000 householders in England and Wales that wer not voters, this would enfranchise 237.000, increasing the borough voters to S3l, 000. Gladstone severely criticised the scheme, anJ declined to accept D'lsra el's figures. Lowe and other supporters of the government opposed the bill. The Liberal journals, including the Times, all think there is little chance fur the bill. Nashville, April 1. At the Con servatives' convention to-day, resolu tions were adopted requesting the col ored voters to hold meetings and appoint delegates to the State Convention to be held here on the lSth, 10 nominate a candidate for Governor. EsSr Rogers used to relate this sto ry : An E. gh-hman and a Frenchman fouehl a duel in a darkened room. The Englishman, unwilling to take his antagonist' life, generously fireci up the chimney, and brought down the Frenchman.. "When I tell this story in France," pleasamly added the nar rator. "I make the Englishman go up the chimney." AiCUii.tSlVA. Internal Resovnes of the .Yew State Agricultural The North and South riattc Cass Coustt, Neb., March 15. T 0 the Editor of the Chicago Tribune : Thinking that your readtrs would like to leurn something about this por tion of the State of Nebraska, I pro pose, in a few short Ur.ess, to give such information, based upon facts and ob servations as are famiiiiar to every or dinary fanner in this portion of the Slate. Permit me in tha outset, 10 state a fact which inty not be generally known, and which emigrants frequent ly find out only when it is too late to avert loss and disappointment. The Platte River divides Nebraska into two sections, which seem to be as distinct as though they were two dis tinct nationalities. Almost two-thirds of the territory lies north of the Piatte, but from various causes two-thirds of the populati: n are on the south side. Ever since the settlement of the Terri tory there has been a sectional jealousy existing between the two sections. The address and speculating talents of Omaha men succeeded in securing the location at that place of the speculative pv'rtion of the community, while the steady farmers who immigrated to the Territory, having an eye only to agri cultural pursuits, set'Ud the country south of the Platte. There wih doubt less be a heavy immigration to Nebras ka the coming sea. on, and having no ticed, during a residence of eight years, a great deal of dissatis'aciion, arising from ihe fact that men frequently go to the wrong place for what will suit one man will not in all cases suit anoth er my object in writing this and the succef-ding letters will be to give such information as will perhapsjpi event the disappointment of immigrants. It a farmer is seeking a home in which to pursue his calling, he will naturally select a a location where farming has proved a success. I pro- po-e in this 10 give a few facts, com piled from the report of (he Territorial Auditor, to the last Legislature, the ex animation of which, I think, will enable persons to easily decide which part of the State is best suited to the business they desire to pursue. From thts re port it appears that there have been entered : Acres. In the counties south of the Platte 1,072.420 North Platte 731,374 Excess the last 341.016 At polled election there were Votes. South Tlatte North Platte o,700 3.1GS Excess 2,23:.' The reason why there is such a dis parity between the population and the number of acres of land entered is. that during the year 1j7 and ISoS, large bodies of land were entered in tlie Oinr ha District b such specula tors as Shorter, of Alabama, (who is reported to have ,,0,( 00 acrs in one body, and W. R. II. Cobb, of the same State.) Thes tracts of land remain yet unoccupied, being held at such prices as settlers cannot afford to give. The assessment of taxes for lSbo show the value of property to be : South Platte 9,943,083 North Platte except. Douslas county in which is Oma ha. S3, 190.510 Douglas county 4.7S7.220 Total S7.9S2.bGU DiffVrence Sl.9G0.22S There would be a much greater dif ference were it not for ihe fact that our revenue laws are framed with a view to getting as; much tax as possible from the non-resident land owners, such as Messrs. Shorter and Cobb cultivated latios not being rated but lit tle if any higher than raw prairie. By that means Mr. Shorter pays about as much tax on his 30.000 acres of raw atid as on the same number of well cultivated acres in Cass or other coun ties ou:h of the P.'atte By reference toth Auditor's Report it wiil be seen that there is: Of Horses South Platte. North Piatte Excess 11.102 5,270 Of Neat Catile- South I'latte North Piatte Excess 39,679 19.032 20.G46 14,095 3,317 Of Sheep South Platte North Platte Excess Of Hogs . South Platte North Platte 10.SS1 11.5248 3.2S1 Excess 7,967 The above items are sufficient to show the difference in stock. The val ue of farm buildings, uten-ih, etc., are in about the same proport .. as I will undertake to show, by gooe. authority, that there is fuliy as great disparity in farm produce. In writing the above, I am aetuated by no personal motive, not having a single acre which I desire to sell, but knowing that interested parties, such as towns, railroad companies and large land owners, freque ntly send runners or drummers in all directions, who mis represent all sections but the one ty uhich they are employed. My advice to all persons who design emitrra-iiicT to his State is to look carefully for yourselves, toth nor'h and south, and selt-ct tha section which in your judge- mpnt is best suited to the luin;s you design following. Having resided iu the vicinity of Pla:t?m-uih, Cnss county, near eight years, I can speak wi-h confidence con cerning the climate, soil an.1 products of that county and of Lancaster, Saun ders. Seward and Butler as well. I do not hesitate to say that thi country ii healthy. The fertility of the mjiI may be juc'god from tho fact that dur ing these eight yars there hns no! been n single season in which large (juant ties of corn and wheat have not been exported. I do nor wish to be understood as saying anything against the oher counties, but in this I desire to speak only what I know. A people ar. frequency judged by ike manner in which their public finances are man aged. Cass coun y warrants are at par, and there is a surplus in the Tfeasury. Taxes will le about five mills to the dollar. Of society, cropj. exports, cli mate, etc., I will treat at greater length in my next. " ' Nehkask. v. PLATTSMOUTH MARKETS.
