COAL.
Mr. Muckenhaupt ha3 tLown u n
specimen of stone ceal t.ken from the
haft being sunk at the brick-yard
north of town, which hai the appear
ance of being a No- 1 article. This
haft is being sunk near where coal
was found last summer, and experinced
coal miners are confident of finding a
go J vein. There is little r'.iiV. in tin
iniud of men who have takea th,
trouble t3 post themselves on the sub
jct, that coal in abundance exi-.ts be
neath Nebraska soil, and it is only a
qjetioni f lime and mrney as 10 its
development. Thin veins have been
found in almost every locality from the
mouth of Platte to the Kansas hno.ai.d
is is the general belief tha; tnicu ones
will be; found a! a greater dpth.
AVe learn from a reliable source
that ihe engineer corps of the li. &. M
R. R. Co., are engaged in surveying a
line through Mills county with a view
o forming a junction w ith the Union
Pacific read. This has caused some of
our citizens t-j seriously doubt whether
the road will be built from this city
west. Ve sec uo good, reason why
ihe surveying of a route to join the road
aboe Thtte should discourage any one
who has ever h.id confidence in the
building of the rend from this city west.
Wc have always contended that the B
& M. R. R. would form a junction
with the P. clfie real at the Mi.-souri
river and think it would be detrimen
tal to tbe interests of the Company not
to do so. Bjt because they do this and
secure a pinion of the trade from the
river east, it is no reason that thcy will
not continue their ror.d upon the origin
al line. They must either form such a
junction or Lave ncthmg bnt iho local
or way trade until the line is completed
aeveral hundred miles west of the Mis
souri river. We contend and believe,
that so lor-g as the line remains located
from this city west, and the govern
ment lands are kept out of market for
the benefit of the Company, jait so
long wc have a reasonable hope and a
fair pro pect that the rs.ad will be built
upon that line. We do not believe that
the Secretory of tli3 Iuterior who
must have tognizar-c? of the entire ac
tion in tho matter t ill keep these val
uable and much coveted land out of
rairLet one day after tha Company for
whose benefit they were withdrawn
have abandoned the line, and conse
quently can have to further claim up
on them. When these lands are re
stored to market if they ever are it
will ba time to abandon the idea of a
road from this city west.
Democrats! Bear in Mind.
Democrats! Bear in mind all the
1 - i

we are contending is a restoration of
the Union. Jevca.
We ask tbe honest men of that par
ty to also "bear in mind all the time"
that the "great issue" for which tho par
ly con'-ended during the war was the
destruction "of the UuiorV by the sue
cess of the rebel arms and the fail
ure" of the war on the part of the gov.
erument.
JIOUK CO.iL.
W are informed by Mr. Aiken,
who lives on what is known as Mullin's
Llanche, about twenty miles west of
this place, that he has a fair profpect
of a five foot vein of coal. They bored
through a sixteen inch vein, and broke
their drills when they struck the hard
raofing to another vein. Workmen
are now on the ground with tools to
sink a abaft, anJ we hope soon to tell
our readers something more definite
in regard to their success.
gQ" Hitchcock's appointment is
squarely endorsed by ihe Herald and
iXews because in it they behold th
truth of the saying that "the wages of

IS'ot Legally ISeprvscuf ed.
Hon. Thoma L. Griffey has addres
sed a strong and unanswerable letter
to Governor Butler, showing leaily
thai uAota county is not legally rep
resented in the State Legislature.
Omaha IleialJ.
It will be remembered that the whole
South Platte representation with the
exception of Otoe, "addressed strong
and unanswerable" arguments to the
ti'ebraska Legiilature last winter,
showing clearly that the aio.-t populous
and wealthy p mi jq of the State, was
'not legally represented in the State
Legislature," and yet such papers as
tho Omaha Ikrald justified the mob
that prevented the giving of that "legal
representation." It nppearsto make a
va3t difference to this justifier of mob
law whose ox it is that gets gored.
Gov. Butler has embraced in his call
for the ex'ra session that very point
which will give the "Hon. Thcma L.
UriifVy" and his c -nstuuents, as well
us every other portion of the State,
their h'gal 1 1 presentation;" and we
h'jpe the Oma!.a Herald will not again
advocate the prevention of that just and
pquitable measure ly mob violence.
uiPoirr.Trox of stock.
We find the fallowing in the Press
in relation to the Glencoa stock about
being imported by our friend C. II
Walker. Mr Walker started cast a
fow days since ar.d will bring young
Gleneoe buck with him.
It :: a matter of erect importance to

p,.l thorough bred animals, and pro
vide our.elves with those of a charac

the market, or prove more valuable to
their owners than those we have now.
We observe that a movement has
already been made in thnt direction,

the Gleneoe blood is to be introduced
into our section. Thepfrforma-.ee of
Mr. Bonner's "Lady Palmer" and
"Wild Irishman" are pretty good evi
dence that the Glencoe's, when an op
portunity presents, will distinguish
themselves as trotters, as they have
done as runnero.
Young Gleneoe is expected to reach
this city in about ten days, after which
time he can be seen at the stable of
Hon. O. P. Ma;on where be will be
kept.
AT IT AG. MS.
We had hoped and beiieved that the
disgraceful proceedings at the Capital
last winter, in which tbe peoples rep
resentatives wer j insulted and threat
ened by a local .mob, would have the
effect to deter newspapers and men
claiming respectability from further ex
citing the jealousies and prejudices of
lawless ni'-n The Omaha Heiald
claimed that it had no intention ef ex
citing mob violence when it urged Omn
ha m ;jn to "go in on their muscle;" but
what has it to say in defense now?
We find it again endeavoring to cxci'.e
the passions and prejudices of the "mi 11
of Omaha' in the following style :
"ilea of Omaha will find, when per
haps it i too late, that formidable
rings' have been made fi.r the coming
session of th Legislature, whose ob
jects are the taking away of represeti
tatton from the iNortuern portions 01
Nebraska, the reinova1 of the Capitol,
the stealing of the school-lands and ihe
general pluuder of the resources of the
State. '
Should the Herald succeed in incit

TIMES I.V DEXVCR.
In a recent letter to his paper, the
Colorado Times, Goldriok gives a good
idea, apparently, of the state of affairs
in aud around Denver. He says goods
are very slow sale, with few in market.
Almost all staples in the grocery line
are scarce. This is owing principally
to the dull sale of goods throughout the
winter, occasio-.ed by iho extreme
tightness of the money market, and in
consequence there were no justifying
prices 10 induce merchants or ircighters
to lake goods out. The dry goods,
clothing and boot and shoe market is
q-iiei f-r iho seaicn. It is erpetced
the commercial sky will briehten be
fore the fir-t of May, when the winter
may safely be sail to hav departed,
and cot much before. Freighting has
not (ncr cannot) yet set ia, until the
snow quits the plains.
CIIiMI" LIL.UT.
The English srivntifij papers are
discussing the merit;s of a nev method
of furnishing a brighter and cheaper

Tlie Xational Telegraph
Company.
A new Telegraph Company has
been recently organized in the east
undt r the name of the National Tele
graph Company. lis oljeci is to build
a system ot telegraph lines extending
over the United Stales, from ihe Allan
tic to the I'anilic; oceans, for the pur
pose of transmuting ttisiiatches at fair
rates, and thus break down the monop
oly that now exi-ts in telegraphing.
II is a stock concern aud propasos lo
build 'he lines by subsci iption. It thus
offers to everybody an opportunity to
aid in tbe pood !work, ind since the
Mei chants UniAi Express has proved
such a success, r'nd demonstrated the
power of the people to break the bonds
that monopolies are always striving to
fasten upon theio, we believe the peo
p!a of this country sh.u!d, and will
contribute liberally to the accomplish
ment of its objects The form of sul -senption
is as folio .vs, which will show
that it is a safe and pn liiaole invest
ment :
"For value received of t lie National
Telegraph Company, we hereby sever
ally and not jointly agree to take the
number of shares in the capital stock ot
said company placed opposite our
names respectively, and pay for ihe
same as follow -: One per cent, at
the time of subscribing, and the balance
when the entire capital stock is sub
scribed, in installments ot not to exceed
five per cent, per month as the same
may be called by the company, jtrovvl
ed thnt when thirty-five (Ji-o) per cent,
of the par value of the shares shall
have been paid under this subscription,
we shall be entitled 10 receive on de
itand therefor certificates of sto. k for
the number of shares severally sub
scribed by us-".
The total amjount of stock proposed
to be raised in 'this vay, is ten million
dollars. Whfn the whole amount
shall have been subscribed, the thirty
five per cent, assessment will give the
company a working capital of three
million five hundred thousand dollars,
which will build twenty fie thousand
miles of telegraph, and after this
amount is in operation the company
will be able to pay dividends lo stock
holders. The shares are one hundred
dollars each." .Subscriptions for each
share will cose but on dollar at the
lime it is taker and not over five dol
lars in any ona month nfierwards until
the whole thirty-five per cent. ha been
called in by the company. Thi brings
it within the reach of almost everybody,
and gives all a) chance to aid ia con
ferring a greit blessing upon their
country and themselves.

A Xetv Cure for Consti ttintion.
Every one is interested in hearing

igale or cure the corse o! a i t--mprrate
cl:i:i ites--cou-uinp!ioii. M Bab guer
addresses ;t communication to M.Pi.rry
in Le Courn-r Medical, describing ihe
properties of a new oil. that seems en
dowed with 11 marvellous facil.ty for
travt-rsing animal membranes. If a
few drops are poured into the palm of
the band, and the palm rubbed with a
finger, the oil is soon seen oozing
through -he back of the hand. The
same' experiment tried on the ore-nrm
produces the same result. When the
oit is saturated by a foreign substance
it loses none ot this remarkable power
for absorbiion, and can therefore bo
used as a vehicle, par excellence, fur
the admini-tration of drugs. The tx
peruiieni has been tried wi h copibia
and with the oil sa'uratt d with iodine,
it was rubbed upon the palm of the
hand an I the back of the hand wiped
with a peice of muslin was tinged vio
let. M. Baleguer believes that the
efficacy of ioline, if administered io
this od, would bo so immen ely in

er-teriaiued of its pnver to arrest tuber
culization in the lungs and prevent
hemorrhage. .Among the patients up
on whom he has tried this method, in
