LOCATION OF PUBLIC BUILD
IX as.
As this is the general topic of con
relation throughout ihe State just now,
and a question in which all are equally
interested, we look upon it as the duty
of every journalist in the State to give
his views, if he has any, fully .nd
freely. We have heretofore advocated
the location of a part, if not all the
State buildings somewhere in the vicin
ity of the Salt Basins, and we think the
arguments in favor of this measure are
unanswerable; at ltssi, they have nev
er yet been shown to be fallacious, even
by the most bitter opponents of the
measure. In the first place, the Salt
Basin is the most central point in the
State, being almost equally distant
from Plattsmouth and Nebraska City,
and but a few miles farther from Oma
ha, Brownville, Columbus, I'a wr.ee
City, and the various other towns in
the State. The State is the owner of
a. large tract of land in the vicinity cf
the Basins, and the location of the Slate
buildings thereon would, as we ba7e
before shown, be of great pecuniary
benefit to the Stale, besides developing
one of the finest countries in any part
of the Union. The only attempt at an
argument against this location that we
have yet seen, is that speculators will
"gobble" the lands in the vicinity cf
the Capitol City. We look upon that
as the silliest of all things that could
be urged against it. If ytu locate the
buildings near the river, you will per
eeive the lands have already been
"gobbled;" and hence we infer that the
only objection to the present move is
the fear that somebody will make some
thing by the development of the coun
try. We suspect that those who are so
fearful on this point would not olject
to having the buildings located in their
own immediate vicinity, and would
never think of objecting to it on the
ground that some "speculators" would
come in and purchase a quantity of
property. But to show the utter faUity
"of such objections, we have only to
state that in the vicinity of the Salt
Biins there is no land subieo u ori
vate entry, either with warrants or
cash, and that the only chance for spec
ulators is to purchase properly of those
who already own it. This they could
and would do in any locality, and .we
tee no reason why they should not.
la urging the location of the Capitol and
other State buildings on Salt Creek, we
do not do so through any ill will to
wards Omaha or any other locality;
neither do we believe in making the
location in such shape as to allow any
set of sharks to have the 'insida track.'
We advocate it because we believe it
to be a juit measure, and one calcula
ted to benefit the whole State and ev
ery individual resident thereof. That
some individuals will make more mon
ey than others by such location, we
have never doubted, but look upon it as
a matter of course; but we have suffici
confidence in our legislators to believe
that they will throw all possible safe
guards around the interests of the State,
and that is all they can do. But he
who argues that the interests of the
State should be set aside because he
fears' some person besides himself is to
be benefited, is of very small calibre,
and net very likely to influence the de
cision of the Legislature.
STATE IJIII.DIVGS.
The bill for the location of the Stata
buildings has passed to its. third read
ing aud is now in the hand of the
committee. Bills, similar in all points,
were introduced into the House and
Senate at the same time, and Loth Lave
been referred, probably with a view to
give the committees an opportunity to
consult upon amendments that would
suit in ench houso. The till provides
that the location shall b made by three
commissioners, at some suitable point
cot farther south than the south line cf
Lancaster county nor farther north than
the center of Saunders county.
HOwVllttUT FIT
We are reliably informed that all
endeavors so far on the part of south
Platte members of the Legislature to
telegraph to their constituents relative
to the public buildirg question, have
proved futile. We do not accjse the
telegraph company or the Omaha em
ployees thereof, of working against the
proposed location of these buildings but
it does appear strange that ihey are
unable to transmit despatches upon this
when the line is in working order.
How caa it reaionafciy. b? accounted
for?

The Brownville Advertiser is the on
ly thing south of Platte river that ob
jects to locating the public buildings
cn Salt creek, and it says "the location
of the public buildings is not specified
in the Governor's call " We advise
some one of the Nemaha delegation
to forthwith mail to the Adveitiser a
copy of ihpt call, with that passage
marked. Has friend Colhapp heard
that Audy Johnson has proved traitor
to the Republican party?
C;OI.J CiOIMi!!
Our latest advice from Omaha is to
the effect that the Presson bilrfor the
lecation of public buildings passed the
Senate last evening and the probabili
ties were that it would pass the House
to da)'. The provisions of this bill are
that ihe public buildings should be lo
cated upon G10 acres of State land to
be selected by the Governor, Secretary
of State and Auditor and to be within
the following boundaries: Theeenterof
Saunders and Butler Counties to be the
north line, the southern line of Seward
County and thence through Lancaster
to be the south line, the west line of
Seward and Butler to be the west line,
acd the east boundary of Lancaster
and Saunders to be the east line.
42Vot Vl'orlliy of Hie A'asne."
The Omaha Republican comes out in
a column article against the removal
of the Capitol, in which we find the
following :
We desire to place ourselves early
and squarely upon the record; and we
trust there will be no dodging or trim
ming on the part of the press or our
prominent men. A journal is not wor
thy cf the name that will not define its
pinion upon these issues, and the of
ficer or politician" who sings mum, or
endeavors to cover up his tracks, is en

We endorse the above sentiment,

Republican take when the people's rep
resentatives were set upon by nn Oma

It will be remembered that during
the winter we urged that steps be taken
towards building a Railroad from At

the pjople of Northern Kansas are
holding public meetings for the pur
pose of creating an interest in this
matter, and we hope some good may
result therefrom. The people of Ne
braska should not be backward in this
enterprise, but act in conceit with the
people of Kansas.

Some "reconstructed." brainless fol
lower of Quantrel and defender of
Fort Tillow and Andertonrille, works
himself iiitj a terrible fury over the
proposition to give a reception to the
U. S. Senatorial party recently in
Omaha. In a correspondence to the
JYcws, he says ;
Now, if such a thing occurs in a
Democratic city like this, it will be a
disgrace eveu greater than that of let
ting negroes vote; it is the hope and
prayer of a great many citizens, unre
servedly expressed, that not one of the
traitors may be permitted to return
with any hair nor, indeed, with any
breath in their debauched carcasses.
If they do return, let us receive them
with hemp and sour apple-trea.
Works which they have already helped
to accomplish "small to heaven" and
demand vengeance of an outraged peo
ple. Some knock kneed "Democrats" say
they are "guests of the State" have
no politics cow; these are to day ex
pressions shall we honor devils
traitors? Did radicul cities, in every
case, receive our President when ou a

Ab let us moot them all with hate

which we should meet characters capa

We should naturally suppose that
the author of ihe above was in a very
bad way in fart, we think he has
"got it," and we would advise Dr. Mil

THE STATE LASDS.
We hold, then, that the State should
manage those lands in just the same
manner an individual would if he
owned them. Omaha Republican.
That is exactly our opinion, and we
believe a majority cf the members of
the Legislature hold to the same doo
trine. We all knov very well timt
an individual" wh i owned 600,000
acres of laud would, net go to work
and erect a fine residence and other
buildincs upon land belonging to some
other person and allow his own to go
unimproved. If h9 had "an eye to
business" he would place all the im
provements he desired making any
where upon his own land. Hence the
reason for locating ihe State buildings
upon the State land?.

JVeu-s.
The Omaha Republican says the
same thing, so far as the location of
public buildings is concerned.
THE REAL I'rXLlSC
No one doubts that the leading Dem
ocrats during the v-ar actually desired
the rebels to succeed, although many
of them deny now that such was the
fact. The following extracts show
what some of them think about it even
at this lata day. That personification
of all lhat i3 traitorous and vicious,
Brick Porncroy, says :
"Glorv to God in tbe Hicbest ! In
spite of Rump tyranny, Abolition malice
Johnson timidity, fend the hatred of the
fanatical and bigottd Jefferson Davis
breathe the air of freedom, (that it to
say, as it can be in a Ramp despotism,)
and walks among hU fellows, the 'no
blest Roman of thim all.' Long life
and happy years ta the bravest man of
our country and aire.
A correspondent of the New York
Day Book, says thit the rebels were
patriots and the Democrats should have
stood bv them. He adds: "When
Robert E. Lee surrendered his army
to Grunt, in Virgioia, the sun of Lib
erty wenl down m, a sea. of bload to rise
no more on this continent, during your
life or mine. Noble old Virginia! the
mother of Presidents, the land of he
roes and s'atesmen, she resisted the
tyrant till she could resist no more, and
fell, stricken with wounds, breeding
ak every port, ou; covet cn A.in.!.'-
tality. In her fall behold the tnumpl
of despotism and the shame of Democ
racy. Every Democrat should have
enlisted under Geuerai Lee and have
fought a common enemy; had they
done so the Abolition monster would
have been deihror-ed and our country
saved."
FEEL AND FIIEE DISCUSSION.
In speaking of the location rf the
State buildings, ths Rejmblican says it
does not ask anything mare than a"ful
and free discussion" of the subject.
We do not know how much or how lit
lie this question of beating the Capito
(as that is ihe' principal building) on
Salt Creek may have been "discussed
north of the Platte, but we do know
lhat it has been thoroughly discussed
for the last ten years on the south side
of that stream. I? was the first public
measure we heard discussed after our
arrival iu Nebraska, nine years ago;
and we think the people of this portion
of the State have pretty fully determin
ed lhat it'is to the best interests of the
S'ate to locate all she State buildings
upon the Stale lands somewhere in the
interior, south of the Platte river. We
believe, with the Republican, in "full
and free discussion," and if that paper
can show any goo: reason why such
location as is propc sed should not be
made, we will give it due consideration
But we enter our protest ngainat such
wholesale charges, or insinuations, as
those which have thus far character
ized the opposition to this measure.
The Rtpublican hr.s asserted its belief
lhat ihe Capitol and other State build
ings should be let Alone for the pres
ent, but has failed id show any good
reason for such belief. Its only cry
is that we should take time to consider
the matter. -We; again repeat, the
question has been thoroughly consider
ed in this part of the Stato, and if our
friends in Omaha have not considered
it we do not see that they would during
the next ten years We have, from
time to time, produced arguments in
favor of this same; measure, and the
Republican has failed to uhow that they
were in any mannor defective. Does
it presume to ask the great mass of the
people of Nebraska, who have already
discussed and decided up.in this matter,
to wait patiently uotil it has time to
think about it, before carrying into ef
fect a measure of uch great import
ance to ihe future of our young State?
The Republican should be-a little faster
wiiq its tninKing apparatus.
"the itEsroxsmiEiTir."
We are sorry to see our neighbor of
the Omaha Republican in such eager
haste to nail the responsibility of what
it deems an unwise and unjuft meas
ure, upon the Republican party of Ne
braska. In a lengihy article against
the lecation of public buildings, it says:
"It is idle to attempt to blink the re
sponsibility of the Republican parly
upon ihe pending question. We do
not propose to shirk our share cf it, and
therefore make our bed as ive think
we can lie in it."
We ask the Republican to- show
wherein this question of locating the
State buildings is a party measure.
We assert that up to the present time,
it has in no manner assumed the shape
of a party question. What it may do,
we know not. But even admitting that
it is a party measure, and that the Re
publican pirty is to bear the blame cr
credit whichever it may be we be
lieve it to be a measure which three
fourths, if not more, of the voters of
Nebraska rou.t heartily approve. If
it isa measure of the Republican par
ty, what does the Republican expect to
accomplish by making such bitter op
position to it, and being so overanxious
to attach blame to the party in conse
quence of it? WoiSId it not be wise in
that journal, if, as it proresses it de
sires to maintain the credit of the party,
to wait until there are some indications
of the opposition finding fault with the
measure, as a party question, before
it nifhes to the fight and denounces
the party which it should sustain? This
question does not assume nearly as
much party shape as did the row in the
legislature last winter, and yet the Re
publican failed to nuke the least effort
to vindicate the Republican party ther ;
nor did it even charge that there was
any party issue in it. Why such ea
ger haae to make it a party question
now?
Hard on Dog Owseks. The May
or of Dayton, Ohio, recently issued a
proclamation, fn which he eay:
"I hereby issue my proclamation to
the inhabitants of the city of Dayton,
warning them that it is unlawful for
any person owning, or having control
of, or harboring any dog, or animal of
the dog kind, to run at large for' sixty
days from the publication of this proc
lamation, without being properly muz
zled."
It will be observed .hat it is the own
ers of the doge and not the dogs, who
are required to bo muzzled. We sug

of a similar Proclamation for Platts

LOOK. OUT !
We rather like arrogance in some
people, and admire a certnin amount
of self- esteem in all; but when we see
such brainless swagger as the following,
from the Omaha Herald, we cannot
help thinking the thiDg is overdone.
And as there are certain "great inter
ests" at stake about Omaha just now,
we wouid say to all concerned, "look
out," and see if you c in discover any
brains going to waste about the city of
"great interests :''
We are in the habit of underrating
our ability to control gieat interests.
Omaha is a power. This city to-day
contains more brains, more enterprise,
and more money than any other popula
tion of ten thousand people on the con
tinent.
Communicated.
Mr. Editor: Your persistent and
sensible arguments against the running
at large of "hogs" ha resulted in an
ordinance requiring them to be confined
by their owners, and now you are run
ning the "purp" question pretty heavi
ly but very pioperly, as we think. We
would like to see a discrimination made
in favor of blooded dogs, but the mon
grel curs deserve silencing and we sin
cerely hope such will be the effect of
your crusade against them, not only for
the sake of peaceful slumbers at night,
but as a safo movement against that
terrible calamity, "mad dog."
But, Mr. Editor, while urging the
City Fathers on to these wholesome
measures, why don'i you give them a
reminder, occasionally, that we the
people voted 6iveral thousand dollars
worth of improvements in this city, and
thai ihe indifference, apathy or gross
negligence that apparently attends this
matter marks the members of our
Council as men who being elected, grow
careless of the people's expressed w ish
es. May has ccme and gone, June is
stealing into July and soon the snows
of winter will fall upon lh broken
pledges of the City Council and the un
fulfilled desires of the people as ex
pressed at the polls this spring. Why
is this? Is it right? Will it look
creditable to ihe gentlemen who com
pose ihe Council? In a word "did they
run on an improvement ticket to deceive
us?"
Crop Prospects for 1SGT,
'Ihe New York Commercial publish
es upward cf two columns, of reports on
crop prospects, comprising ono hundred
and ten reports from different localities,
North and South, all of which, with but
four or five exceptions, unite in repre
senting the propped as being most en
couraging for both cereals and fruits.
In Illinois, Indiana, Kaunas, Tennessee
and Missouri a very large wheat crop
is anticipated. The farmers of these
and other States devoted a large area
to this cereal last autumn. Owing to a
backward spring, less ground than usu
al is planted to tobacco in Kentucky,
while the tobacco growers of Connec
ticut and Massachusetts are gradually
turning their attention to other products.
The reports from the Southern States
are encouraging. Considerable more
territory appears to have been il " oted
to seed last fall than is genera' 'y tup
posed. A Chattanooga paper assert?
that there will be more wheat harvest
ed in Eastern Tennessee than during
anv previous year. Prospaets were
never better in Virginia. The same
is true of Georgia. Though there is
suffering now the prospect is lhat ihe
Southern people will have an abundance
of food as soon as their harvest is
gathered.
Tlie East anil West.
We like to write about the West
partly to gratify our own natural priuV
in everything of Western name, and
partly for the satisfaction it gives us to
hear our articles commented upon in
the egotistical syntax of some of thr
discontented people born underthe ris
ing sun. Young men who were daw
dled around at home, tenderly raised
by doling parents and humored in ev
ety foolish whim, are illy prepared to
buffet wi'.h the world; ai.d when forced
into the arena of manly strife brought
into actual abrasion with energetic
spirits and finding themselves unequal
for the content, they begin to look back
to the ark and sigh for the flesh-pots of
his father's Eypt, and at once deride
tha land in which they have sought a
home, and the generous people who to
cordially welcomed "hem to it. Weak
hearts cower before a tempest to tri
umph over which woulJ only strength
en them for tlie cor;t?t never fail to
impose their own shortcomings and
.shiftlessness of action upon those who
not less wary but still more determined
are rushing by them. Western enter
