One man tbinki the Chicago & Northwestern is going to Nebraska City; another that the Union Pacific will nerer be completed; another that the B. & M. R. will either go to Ne braska Cny, Council Illuffs, Omaha. Btllevue or Rock BlufT all alike er roneous The C. & N. W. is already at Council Bluff"; the U. P. will stretch out several miles during the coming summer, and the B. & M. R. will go west from Plaitsmouth iu due season. We advise all persons who wish to know the truth in regard to these mat ters, and the probabilities of future ac tion, to look carefully at what ha been done and is being done. The B. &. M. R. R. Co., have loca ted their line ef road from Plattsmsuth west to the hundredth meridian, and they are going to biffld it on that line. When the company ask for a change in their charter is time enough to credi; a report that ihey intend abandoning their old line.. The road is being pushed rapidly towards the Missouri river, and we presume they will use tne line tome nest advantage so soon as it is completed to this point. They will undoubtedly make a temporary connection with the U. P. Road they would be foolish not to do so until their line is completed from this place to some point west, where they can secure sufficient trade. It is our belief that by the time they have the road com pleted to the Salt fields of Lancaster county, the manufacture of rait at that place will be something of an item in the way of roightf but it is reasonable to suppose that they will make some kind of connection with the Pacific Road until they can reach the trade on their own line. Let no one be discour aged by hearing that the B. & M. R. R. is doing this thing or that thing. rvesi assured u.at tne company have no other inteniion ihan the original one which is to build the road through to the hundredth meridian as speedily as possible. THE Itl.4II,. There is a great disarrangement in the mail route between St. Joseph and Omaha, and the question is, who is to blame? From every ofiice on the route we hear complaints of not receiving the mail regular, and, eome are entirely missed one half the time. Between Omaha and this city, a distance of twenty miles, there is no mail through for a whole week at a time. The general excuse is the Platte river; but even when there is no trouble in cross ing it, we often Lave to do for a day oa two without a mail, and when it does come wo only get the old mail matter the latest being kept back in order to keep up the appearance of carrying the mail for another day or two. The coach en this side of the Platte will wait a certain time, and if the mail is not across it will start without it. That mail may be crossed sometime during the day, and brought dovvn the follow ing morning, one day behind. This system is kept up for a whole week sometimes. We hope the Postmasters along the route will report to the de partment exactly how these things are done, and see if that will not have the effect to prevent their frequent occur rence in future. It is a burlesque up on u. a. Mails to nave tnem carried as ihey have been between Omaha and St. Joseph for the past six months. RRIDGC GONE. TVT I .t - 1:L urar inui me mgu water in Platte has carried away the U. P. R. R. bridge across Nonh Platte We know nothing of the correctness of thts report, and can only hope it may not prove true. The bridge was low and composed of piles driven close to gether only . 16 feet apart upon which were caps, and upon these the rails. Should the report prove correct it will very materially interfere with business generally, and the construction of the road, as it will consume a good part of the summer to complete another. The old story of the lazy school boy who spelled Andrew Jackson. &ru Jaxn, has been overshadowed by a genius out West, who wished to mark a half dozen new shirts he marked the first John Jones, and all the rest ditto. SALT CtlEEK ITEMS- Ashlahd, Neb., April 8, lSf57 Salt Creek is on a bender; Hi va ter is ten feet deeD at the Ford. The ice ran out yesterday,, and swept all be fore it. Dean's saw mill is badly in jured; it is said thit there is a vat amount of snow still lying at the heads of Fait Creek and Waahoo. Our town is daily filled with stran gers seeking new homes ;n the West We notice some from Omaha who think of settling here; wo willundoubt edly, have more mm that quarter when the Capitol is located here. V. ODrinrr la at IloU'l uuu uui inmiuia . 1 4 I t . - are aware of it; they are diligently nrerarios their erround for the seed Let us hope ihey may receive an dfed fold as a reward. hun There will probably be more prairie broken in Saunders county, this season than there ts broken at the present day yThereisa great demand for im- nroved land. Holders of Homesteads could sell their improvements at high prices if they would. v There is not a licensed dram shop in all Ashland. Two years aco, there was one very large on; it extended over the entire town. So much for the I. O. G. T. U. 1 It. R. IXJl'RED. We learn from Chaplain Wright, wh returned from Omaha yesterday, that about one hundred nnd twenty miles of the Union Pacific Jlailroad west of Omaha is injured materially by the high waters of the Platte. Chap lain Wright started for Fort Kearney, wherJ.ho is ordered fcr duty, but was compelled to return, being unable to ascertain anything definite in regard to when cars could run on the road. We regret, exceedingly, this injury to the road, as it stops, for the time, all trade with the west, and shows clearly that the road is not of fhs.i. '7".'V stand the ordinary high waters which occur every spring. The waters of the 'latte and its tributaries on the north side will always be a source of great annoyance to the railroad interests in that region, and a great detriment to the business . interests which depend upon that road for their prosperity. This question is thoroughly understood by railroad man, and is one of our fun damental articles of faith that a road will and mui'b built on the south side, i of the Platte where high waters can not affect it in order to ensure, it all limes, a speedy and safe transit of freight and passengers to and from the expansive west. A Local ou Chicago. The city of Chicago is a placa of immense size Ine state ot Xhinois is in Chicago, but it would hardly be noticed there unless you were looking for it particularly, Although Lake Michigan is a pretty large lake, yet. owing to ihe.ftupendous dimensions of the city, it barely serves the Chicagoaos the purpose of a bathing tub. They are running a tunnel under it to bri g water from Lake Huron for drinking purposes, rverytning is on a big scale there; some of their biggest merchants are "scaly. ine lremont House is e biggest in the world. There are several other houses there the birrest in the world. New York and Philadelphia regret exceedingly that they are so far from Chicago. It interferes materially with their growth and future prospects. They are endeavoring to have lightning trains run through from Chicago with out stopping, so they can have Chicago papers at the earliest possible moment. The Chicago papers are the most en terprising papers in the world. In or der to get ahead of all others the morn ing papers are published the bight be fore, and the evening papers are pub lished before breakfast. This gives them an immense advantage. Chicago is a great place for eleva tors. There is more corn elevated in Chicago than in any other city. It i9 more in the juice than the kernel, how ever. The principal business of the city consists in getting up "gift enter prises." Tney get them up and then ' git'' with the money. The people there are indignant that the shore end of the Atlantic cable is not fastened in Chicago, and think of starting a balloon connection with old mother Moon. A great place is Chicago. JCSS"A negro in Pennsylvania lately gaTe his idea of faith in God's promises in the following words ; "Dar is a brick wall, and de Lord he stand dare and say to me, 'Now I want you to go troo dat,' I ain't a going to say "Lord I can't'. I got nuffin to do about it. All 1 have to do is to butt against it, and it's de Lerd's business to put me troo. rROCLlMATIO.'V II V COViultXOIt. Whereas.

By the Governor, Thomas P. Kexwabd Sec'y of Stale TIIC REFL'BLICAIV PARTY IN THE SOUTH. 1 he l reecmen, at every meeting they have held since the military bill became a law, have shown that they know what citizenship means, and that in accepting its privileges they, are ready to discharge its duties. In tak- PS.tllfliP4unw1Vbv6ro,??d- 111 power they have suddenly gained they show no disposition to abuse, and there it not a solitary instance in which col jred speakers have appealed to their people to revenge at the polls the wrongs of the sla mart, the whipping post or the branding iron. They do not speak of the iaws which deprived them of education, of marriage, of property, nor of the Fugitive Slave law. nor of the New Orleans massacre. Their theme is the freedom they have, not the slavery from which they have been redeemed. But while they are ready to forgive, they have not forgot- tenjand while nnxious to join thrty are willing and with thir old masters in rebuilding the prosperity of the South, they are resoived not to become kin liberty what they were in bondage tne unresisting instruments ot south ern landholders. With the power to vote, they exercise the right to think, and those who do not already see the beginning of a new political era in the South, are blind to the moral of the great meetings at Raleigh, Savannah, Montgomery. Macoji, and the many country meetings held in almost every Southern State. Of equal importance i.s the readiness of the loyal white men t unite with the colored men on terms of absolute equality. At Raleigh this was especially evident. In other States the meetings have declared Republican principles, but the State Convention ef North Carolina embodied them. Whitf and black delegates, had equal share in its deliberations and offices. It may be held certain that in every Southern State the platform of the North Carolina Convention will be adopted, and that the Republican party in the South will know no distinction of race or color at the polls or in civil of fices. The Freedmen would not take lfss; the lyal white men we hope would scorn to offer les. In the North the Republican party is pledgrd to this creed impartial suffrage in ev ery Statft of the Union. What is good for South Carolina must be good for New York; the mistake of Connecticut will not be repeated. At Raleigh the Convention organized the Republican party in the State; at Savannah, Mont gomery, Macon, Jacksonville and Charleston, they adopted resolutions equally decisive, but left formal organ ization to future State Conventions. It is in the triumph of this party, which knows no difference between man and man, that the South will be redeemed. Whatever party' seeks to perpetuate distinctions of race or color in the South, aims at the perpetuation of jealousy and strife, and poverty. The negro is ready to do hij duty, and whatever doubt may have existed of the readiness of the white man to accept absolute political and civil equality is lessened by ihe example of such men as Gen. D.jckery. in North Carolina, and Gov. Patton, in Alabama. Tribunt. Albast, April 10 Democratic city ticket successful by sixteen hun dred majority. E.

His card, solicitingthe patronage'of the public in the forwarding and commis sion business, appears in one of the St. Louis papers. If there is any other country in the world where a traitor can swing as many franchises as he can here, we should like to hear it named. 53 The Pittsburgh Methodist Conference, which met last week at Massillion, Ohio, adopted unanimously the following resolutions: First That w heartily indorse the action 'of the Thirty-ninth Congress on -the subject of reconstructioo, and approve the measures adopted for the settlement of that question. Second That, believ ing Christianity to be the basis and bulwark of civil liberty, we hail with joy, as among the auspicious signs of the times, the Congressional temper ance and prayer meetings. Third mat, as righteousness exalte th a na tion, and sin is a reproach to any peo ple, we win not cease to pray for our rulers, and will give our influenceand our suffrage to elevate to offices of trust and profit men of unbending moral in tegrity.

He has also admitted to high places in the councils of the Dation some of those who were foremost in fightinc her bat tles in 1S4S, and who have since passed ong years in exile therefor. 5S5"A good story is related of Miss j , a laughter-loving, good natured country lass, who was spending the af ternoon with a neighbor, and during supper the conversation turned on hens, eggs, etc., during which she observed "that their hens did not lay scarcely affy egg9 and fhe could not give any reason ror it." "Whv. ' observed Mr. , -my nens lay very well; I co out among them almost every day and get eggs. ";uy gracious!' was the in stant rejoiner; "I wish you could come nd run with our hens a spell. I'm sure father would pay you well for your trouble."

On a trial for an assault, which took place some time ago, in Doniphan county, Kansas, a medical witness, in giving his evidence, informed the Court that on examining the prosecutor, he found him suffering from a severe contusion of the integuments under the left orbit, with great extravasion of blood and ecchymosis in the surround ing cellular tissue, which was in a lu nfied state. There was also consid erable abrasion of the cuticle. Judge "You mean, I suppose, that the man had a black eye?" "Yes." "Then, why not say so at once" An exchange says that some time ago a female seminary was estab lished in Salt Lake City. It flourished well but in the height of its prosper ity the Mormen principal eloped with and "married" the whole school!

Motion for re consideration of the confirmation of the Russian treaiy was carried. The whole matter is now open and will probably be rejected. The State department does not allow the Russian treaty pub lished until ratified by Russia. The Ausjnan Lmperor telegraphed the Austrian Minister that Maximil ian's life is in peril and soliciting Sew ard's interference to savs him, regard ing the United States as the only gov ernment that could accomplish any thing. It is currently reported the frienda of Surratt are endeavoring to secure Butler a services at tho coming trial. Gov. Orr says it requirea the impor tation of a hundred thousand bu.-helaof corn to enable the people of South Car olina to subsut until next harvest, ene fourth of which must be distributed gratuitously. This session will probably close this week. 152F Some idea of the value of prop erty in the city of New York, may he formed from the statement contained in an advertisement of a partition sale of property. The advertisement statea that a Etrip ef ground on the northeast corner of Fulton street and Broadway, with a front of four feet and eleven inches on Broadway, running back ona hundred and sixty fett' on Fulton, ia leased to the lessee of the adjoining prop erty for ten thousand dollars per annum and taxes; the Uase terminable on any first-day of May, on ane year's notice. ST The people of California are clamorous for tha ratification f tha Russian treaty. The fisherim ara im mense, and in tha hands of our Gov ernment would be worth millions to tha trade of San Francisco. Our latest despatches assume thatthere is no long er any doubt but the Senate will ap prove and ratify this important treaty before adjourning.
