THE RAILItOAU.
All torts of itoriet in relaiioq to
Raiirond matters gain credence nowa
days. 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.

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.

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.

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.

"that their hens did not lay scarcely

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"
