THE LATE IMIL3IEST.
The Republican press of the country
Las pretty generally pronounced against
the conduct of II.rac? Greeley in so
far as he hat become the bcniis-mrin of
Jefferson Davi?; nnd we regret to tee
the violence of temper thowa by Mr:
Cretlty in replying to the tritici?ms
which everywhere assail him. That
the head center of the late rebellion
was entitled to i-peedy public trial no
one pretenda to deny; but the delay m
Davis case is chargeable to Andrew
Johnson, and not to the grut Republi
can party. Had that piriy possessed
the chair, in-tead of the political traitor
Andrew Johnson, Davis would have
been tried long since. So far aa Mr
Greeley is concerned in the matter of
the late bailment, that is hi affair, nd
while we admit that there was evident
Lad tate in his action, we cannot he'p
confessing that it will result in a great
pecuniary benefit to Horace, who will
no doubt receive large accessions to Lis
eubscription liits from tho Southern
States, and he who was whilom the
accursed of the tlaveocratic South will
re long become the admired of all ad
mirers in secessiondom, pr force i f hi
being the particular per-"--''1 friend cl
tho prfi Jj' ot the erring sisters
Jefferson Davis.
We take some comfort cut of this
condition of thir.gs in view of the fact
that when the Tribune becomes thor
oughly circulated, read and digested
touth of Mason it Dixon's line we may
hope for reform in the hearts as well
as the heads of tho unreconstructed.

Hi j-
Where's the I2oscst3?
The Omaha Herald has been howl
ing about the Radicals trying to steal
the tax payers' money, and cites as an
instance that they made a -'strong ef
fort" to appropriate $75 to each mem
ber for Ftaiionpry. nowppore, etc.
We notice in the Legislative proceed
ings in the tame paper that Fuller
(Rep.) moved to insert -3, while Har
vey (Dem.) moved to insert $50. The
question was indefinitely postponed by
a vote of 17 ayes to 11 nays. This
don't look very much like the Radicals
made a very "etrong effort' to carry it;
for they have a ttlerable clear major
ity. We fail to see the honesty of a
newspaper that trie to "gull" its read
ers with any such stuff.
IXDIAIV ATROCITIES.
From a gentleman just arrived in the
city from the plains, says the Nonpa
reil of the 29ih,we obtain the following
facts concerning the late Indian a roci
ties. This information may be relied
upon as correct. At Baauvais station
the Indians stole, on the 21st inst., 30
mu-le? belonging to Ward'i train, and
on the fame day they stole 31 mule
from trains five miles west of Oga'Ial
lah station, 6 belonging to Do'an. 8 to
Cl.ribtian, and 17 to Mackoy. These
trains were landed with goods ty
Woo! worth St Barton, for Denver.
Lntt Wedneeday and Thursday these
roving bands of Indians attacked Har
ford's men on the Lodge Pole, and
wounded one man. Ilurfoiu'a men
claim to have killed six Ir.Jinris. Vh?n
they came down to the Lodge Creek
crossing they drove in the workmen on
the Union Pacific Railroad in that vi
cinity. killing four men. At Capt.
McArthur's camp near Beauvais' a
soldier deserted, was caught by the In
dians on a neighboring hid and scalped.
They also killed three men and wound
ed one o'her on Boyd and Reed' work
the same day. Since thee, 230 caval
ry have been sent into that vicinity,
which may prevent further depreda
tions for a while; but it is undoubtedly
tru9, that these atrocities, already com
mitted Lavs been the result of sheer
carelessness upon the part of those
whose duty it was to provide against
their enactment.

Ed. Herald Let mo enquire
through your paper if some arrange
ment cannot be made with the Steam
Ferry-boat here, to have the boat cross
tha Platte river at its mouth, at least
once a day. Such an arrangement is
needed very much to facilitate busi
ness and travel, and with such an ar
rangement considerable of the emi
gration that crosser at Omaha, would
cross, the Platte at i s mouth.

Ed Herald: I observe thai farm
rs sr-ijrally are makinir more im-
p; .. o;n2ncs than u?ual, and that more
I m ' is b.Mng broken up than for sev
oral ycar.i previous. With wheat at
82 00 to 82.50 per bushel and oorn at
about SI. 00 per bushel, farming is the
most lucrative business that any one can
engage in. There is no State ia the
Union that I.olJa ui m great lnaacd
iiients to energetic practical men as Ne
braska. D;iring a residence here of
eleven years, wheat has failed but
once, and corn has been a fair cropev
t-ry year; but at no time has the pros
pect for farmers been brighter than at
present. Wheat never looked better
;.t this seassn of the year; some com
plaint is made of corn rotting ia conse
quence of the cold rainy weather, but
;here is a sufficient time yet to raise a
good crop of corn. It is to be hoped
that hereeftcr our farmers wi.l be more
careful ia the selection of seed, and
save a great deal of trouble and ex
pense. The prospects for remunera
live prices for the next crop are good
The old crop of wheat is almost entire
ly said, and although reports agree ihat
wheat generally looks well, they
nlo agree that a less number of acres
than usual have been sown and that
prices mutt be high while the demands
of the government for corn will take ail
the corn that we can raise at a fair
price. I believe that the day is not
far off, when Nebraska will be tha
leading wheat producing State in the
Union.
School Houses.
Ed Herald: I see in yesterday's
daily, an article headed "District School
House," and the drift of the argument
is against the building of a Dish id
School House. It is stated in the ar
ticle referred to thai the people were
in favor of the High School Building,
but opposed to building both. Now we
have no way of determining the wish
es of the people belter than their ex
pression at the ballot-box, and if the
citizens voted in favor cf building Dis
trict School Houses and High School
Building I believe they meant betb;
and vre have no right to come to any
other conclusion, in tha face of their
expressed wishes. As to diverting the
district tax to the building of a High
SchooPBuilding, it. seems to me, would
be throwing cold water on our common
school system. Our common or dis
trict schools ought to be as good as any
select schools, as they are designed for
the benefit of every person that wishes
to avail himself of their benefit; and
would be so if the proper interest were
taker, in them, by providing good, com
fortable school houses, furniture, &c.
It is true, we sometimes hear persons
say thntthe District School is a nuis
ance, but such expressions generally
grow out of a prejudiced mind, or prob
ably from the misconduct cf their own
children while at school. Let charac
ter be given to our common schools, by
providing good comfortable schoo
houses with such furnitu.ro as may be
needed, and we will advance the edu
cational interests rnoro than by any
other one thing tlnit can ba done. By
all means build the District Schoo!
House and the High School Building
too. The people paid "Build both,"
and I think we are not warranted in
saying they didn't mean it.

My Dear Miss Antiio.n'y : I hope
your Convention will not fail to set in it
trm light the position cf those editors
in New York who are branding as the
"infamous thirteen" the men who i'
tho New Jer.-.ev Legislature voted
"gainst negro sutfrage, while they
ihemselves give the wlio.a weight ot
their journals against woman's right to
vole. I hey use the terms "universal
and "inpartial suffrage,'' when they
mean oniv neero sr.nraze. ana ir.ev ao
it to hide a dark skin, and an unpopu
lar client. They know that "a lia will
keep its throne a whole age longer ii
it skulk behiud the shadow of some fair
seeming name." In New Jersey, a ne
gro f ither is legally entitled to his chil
dren, bit no mother in New Jersey,
black or white, lias any legal right to
har children. In New Jersey, a widow
may live forty, (lflyi in the house of her
deceased husband without paying rent,
but the negro wid jwer, i ist like the
while widower, may remain in u-ndis-turbed
poesession if house and proper
ty. A negro man. can sell his real es-
tu'.e, ana maue a valia deed, nut no
wife in ttiat State rcan do so, without
her husband's consent. A negro man
in New Jersey may m7a!l his proper
ty as he pleases, but no wife in the
State can will her personal proper. y at
all, and if she will her real estnte with
her husband's cons' r.t, h? may revoke
that consent, any ti ne bef-jre tho will
is admittd to probate, aLd thus her
will is rendered n ill and void. The
women of New Jer-ey went to tht-
Legila!ure on their on petition, for
the right of suffrage. Twenty three
members voted for then, thirty-two
against them. But the editors who
now find unmeasured words to express
their contempt f Tfhe "infamous thir
teen," when thvy Vottd against the ne
gro, were as dumb as death, wlun this
vote was cast against the women. The
Washington correj ondent of the New
York Tribune ays. that Chas. Sumner
and Thaddeus Siemens give it as their
opinion that New Jerrey will not have
a republican form of government until
they put the word "white" out of their
Constitution Do these gentlemen
mean to eay that when New Jersey
has given her 8,000 negro men the vote
tha will have a republican forai of gov-
latl7 lOi.OUO uor) of that
State are still without i ? and not only
without it, but blasted by laws which
are a disgrace to the civilization of the
age; and of these ltws, not one afflicts
or affects the negro man? The lleb
els, who starved our brave buys ia An
dersonvilie, and made ornaments of
their bones, these men. traitors, guilty
of the highest crime known to our laws,
are to be punished by having their
right to vote take;i away. Of what
crime are American women guilty that
they ars to be compelled to stand on a
political platform with such men as
tti8ae? Let no man dretmi that national
prosper!1)' and peaca can be secured by
merely giving suffrage to colored men,
while that sacred right is denied to
millions of American women. That
scanty shred of justice, good as far as
it goes, is utterly inadequ:ita to meet
the emergency of this hour. Men of
every race and color may vote, but if
the women are exe'uded our legislation
will still lack that moral tone, for want
of which the nation is to-day drifting
towards ruin. There is no other name
given by which the couLtry can be
saved but that of woman. "Govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed." Women
are governed, negroes are governed,
and should give their consent. Wiil
men never learu thil a principle which
God has made true He ha also made
it safe io apply? Aye, more, that a
principle He has made true, it is not
safe not to apply! Th-3 problem far
American statesmen to day is no nar
row question of racs, but how to em- j
body in our institutions a guarantee for
tho rights of every citizen. Jhe solu
tion is easy. Base government on the
oonsent of the governed, and each class
will protect itself. Put this one great
principle of Universal SulIYage, irre
speitive of sex or cslor, into the foun
dation of our temp!e of Liberty, and
it will rise in fe.ir and-beautiful propor
tions. "Without the sojnd of a ham
mer, or the noise oj any instrument,"
to stand at last "perfect and entire,
wan'ing nothing." ' Omit it, and only
"He who sees the end from the begin
ning' knows through what other na
tional woes we must be driven, before
we learn that the pisth of justice is the
only path of peace And safety.

The majority of this body being com

our opponents to many and anxious ex
hortations not to plunder the resources
of the State. It is well they should
exhort, when the only propositions that
have been brought before the Legi-la-tare
that looked like self-appropriation
of the funds of the State have been
suggested by Democrats.
Let fhem wait with patience. The
affairs of the State are under the man
agement of men who will serve its in
terests so as to promote the general
prosperity, secure the public good, and
lay tne foundations of the future
growth and welfare of our young com
monwealth. They will move on, calmly wisely
and firmly, in the path of duty, so man
aging the noble domain riven us by
the liberality of the g: .-. il govern

hance its worth aud make Nebraska
one of the richest States of the West.
They will vote down all schemes
whether of individuals, corporations or
localities, that lead to the misappropri

cur no indebtedness that will embarass
the finances of the Siate, and inaugu
rate no schemes calculated to retard
our progress; neither will they, through
any timidity or vaciliiation, permit the
present opportunity to be lost, to so ad
just the general machinery of the State
Government as to political and local
affairs as to "secure the greatest
good to the greatest number" of our
people.
The Republican members of the Ne

they demand a frugal and economical

corporations or localities, but should
be to treated, managed and improved
as to enhance their value, add to the
resources of the State it:elf, and in the
and reduce greatly the burden of tax

Such is the duty and such w ill be the

THE CKOI ntOSPECT.
From the East to "the West, and
from the Nortto the South, the uni
versal testimony is, that tho coming
wheat crop never looked belter, and
never was so large. The only draw
buck ia that seed was so scarce and
dear Inst fall; this, in most of tho South
ern, and in sorr.e parts of the Northern
Slates, prevented great sowing Rye
does not require a good land as wheat;
indeed, it will grow on soil so poor that
much exhausted soil it owing to ibis
fact. Oats may bo eipctud to b
bountiful, though in some few localities
ru- has appeared. The ha' crop, ow
ing to wel weather, must be largo.
Thus far tjie genson n e kave no
complaint about c..,oa not having a
good stand, and we thin-.. ,ne pro?p'cta
more favorable than in any f-r;Ceed-ing
year since the war. The amou.
planted will ba very large pojsibly as
large as in any former year, for the
reason that many work now who never
worked before, and the freedmen ev
erywhere have the credit of being faith
fu! and industrious. Tho general ac
quiescence in ihe Reconstruction Act,
has had a powerful influence in adding
to the prospective yield cf tha South
ern harvests. The South will have
large supplies of corn.
The season is fully two weeks later
than in average years, even os far
awav as Texas. In the North the con
tinued rains have greatly retar
planting, and very little corn in the
corn regttns of the West has been put
in. A few days of fair weather will
make a great change, for by the help
of corn planters, and sulky cultivators
to prepare wet ground, an immense
area can be suddenly filled '-with corn.
Notwithstanding the vast number of
two horse com planters in use, the de
mand on the manufacturers exceeds
their ability to rupply, though they are
running their shops with hundreds" of
hands, night and day. Of course we
owe this great advantage the power
to overcome highly dircouraging natur
al obstacles to our inventors and in
genious mechanics. Without this help,
and with our large populatien 31,000,
000, famine woulJ be cf frequent oc
currence; now it ia scarcely possible.

UUU IS IT?
The following startling report we
glean from the Denver Daily Tribune
of date the 26' h ult. It says:
George Williams, seventeen years
of Bge, arrived in town yesterday, who
Eays he escaped from the Indians ai
the burning of Fairview station. lie
had been with them for two years, hav
ing been captured by the Blackfeet at
the headwaters of the Yellowstone,
and taken from the Ulackfeet by the
Cheyennes. His uncle, aunt and three
children were captured with him, who
were all murdered. He says four wo
men were prisoners with the Chey
ennes one of whom was the wife of
a doctor in Council Bluffs. He-had
never spoken with them but once, when
the Indians threatened to kill him, and
he never tried it aeain. He never
tried to escape before, and when .he
made off ihe Indians tried to re capture
him. He made for the nearest station,
and was successful. His horse fell
dead just before reaching it."

JPS7"Bishop Qumtard in his address

heartily thank him. He impressed
upon his clerical brethren their duties

practice of raising mouey for religious
purposos by lotteries. Nothing has
been done more io spread ihe unholy
mania for gambling than the Church

it be any more respectable to gamble
by shaking up numbers in a whe-1 than
by shuttling cards in a pack. It is so
much easier to sell chances than to sell
