LQLAL Kli.SITS.
The Republican shows signs of re
turning reason in an occasional stray
.ootenco. In a recent article it says:
"Every section of the State Lad an
equal right to the benefits of the public
buildings." That is exactly the case,
and we believe it is the position taken
by the members of the Legislature who
supported the bill for their location.
They did not deem it jut or wise to
place the Capital at PJattsmouth, the
University at Brownvilie, the Peniten
tiary at Nebraska City and the Lunatic
Asylum at Omaha. They thought it
betttr fur the general good to place all
these buildings on the State lands, and
buiid up a town tha. would benefit the
State at large. We commend them
for their judgment in this matter, and
believe the Republican will yet endorse
the plan which does not throw all the
principal State buildings in towns which
it considers antagonistic to the prosper
ity cf Omaha. In Lincoln City all
sections of the State wiil, we hope,
have "equal rights" and have them re
fpected; and we are satisfied that all
sections will rome nearer having equal
advantages under this arrangement
than any other that could have been
made.

THE KCtOV.
The reason assigned by one who
ought to know why the .Veu- and
Omaha Herald have not taken any
particular position upon the public
building question, is that they were
afraid of rcuddling a little poliiical ar
rangement between the two editor?, in
which each was to tickle the other.
Tha idea with them ivas that Stale
affairs or tho affairs of the people
should not be allowed to break into
their congressional arrangements.
Tilt: HOt LAW.
The City Council of the City of
Plattsmouth passed an ordinance some
time 6ince restraining swine from run
ning at large. It has ca i-ed no little
commotion among the hog raisers in
the city, and We' understand the ordi
nance is about to 'be repealed. For
the government and information of
those interested, we copy below a
State law on this subject, and hope er
ry man in the city who is bothered
with hogs wiil see that it is enforced:
AN ACT.
To restrain sivine from running at

Sec. 1 Be it enacted ky the Council
and House of Representatives of the
Territory of Nebraska: That from

HOW IT IS.
A correspondent of the Prest
ting from Omaha accuses Mr.
ccmbe of lying, and says:
wri-
Bal-
The lie on which I lay tho greatest
stress, the bis lie, is that where Mr.
Balcambe takes occasion to slate
the Governor promised to veto a
that
cer
tain objectionable bill to wit the loca
lion Bill. Ihe Uovernor diu promise
that if the North Piatt Republicans
would enter into an aareement with
the South Piatte Republicans, to give
the latter a fair apportionment, then
the question of location should not be
urtred. and that he would see the con
tract fairly carried out. But he took
occasion to t-ay, at that very time, that
if this much was not conceded, he
. r l I - t.
woull not promise a lavoraoie resuii
for Omaha. Tcis is a true statement
i-f that diarrfff ul lnder, which Air.
Btlcombe has helped about. And
this is how "the leading paper of the
Northwest'' aids ihe party to which it
belongs. Mr. Balcombe seems to
think that he i3 not only to lead the
party, but tosa which road we shall
CAPITOL CITY.
The removal of the capital, the bill
for which purpose will be found in an
other column, cccupise a frood share of
the attention of our" Omaha exchanges
They seem to think that the location of
the public buildings will not do mueh
in the way of building up a town
will not induce capitalists or aruzens
to iurest. If the location cf the seat
of government in ajown is cf so little
consequence to it, why does Omaha
cling to the capitol with such tenacity?
One would think by reading the Oma
ha papers for the past two weeks, that
Oniahi was the only accessible place
in the State, It may be the most ac
cessible place at present, but that does
not rove that it will always be
so. If good judgment is exercised in
locating the capitol in the interior, we
see no reason why it will not make it
self accessible, as other towns have
done under like circumstances. The
greatest objection we see to the bill, is
the name given to the town, "Capitol
City." It strikes us that a better name
could hare ben invented, with little
trouble. Jebraskian.
We would infurm friend Pierce that
the name has been changed to
"Lincoln City." It was a singular
piece of strategy on the part of an
Omaha Democrat. He proposed to
amend tha bill by substituting "Lin
coln City" for "Capitol City." Of
course the change was made. The
idea of the Hon. gentleman from
Douglas was to disgust the Otce Dem
ocrats who we were supporting the
bill; and the Hon. Mr. Hicklin, of
Otoe, informed him that they would
iuppcrt the bill "if they named the
own Ben. Butler."
THE LOCATION.
A correspondent of the Press wri
ting in regard to the location of the
State buildings says:.
Many regard Lancaester County,
with favor and for just these reasons
in fact a former Territorial Legislature
voted the Territorial Capital to this
county. It is centrally located and al
ways will be, as to the cultivable
area of State.
The location spoken of by a former
Legislature was at the Mouth of Ste
vens Creek and the town was called
"Douglas City." The town site was
surveyed Py A. B. Smith, Esq., of this
city, and we are told it is one of the
prettiest town sites in the State and
centrally located, being only a short
distance from the Great Salt Basins.

How to Get an Education. Boys
ay to men "ne want an euiuation;
but we are poor and father is pcor, and
we can.t get u so we are agjing to
learn a trade, or go into a store or do
something ele." Now let me say eve
ry boy that wants an education, if he
will bund his force to it, can get just
s god a one as he wants. The way
T", I 1
is open lv.iucauon uocs not come
through academies, and colleges, and

seminaries; tliese are neip ; out it
comes by study and reading, aud com
paring, and all the school?, aud col-
Ifges, and seminaries in the world will
not make a scholar of a man without
these: and with them a man will be one
if he never sees a college. And what
is true of boys is true cf girls, and
what is true of this pursuit is true of
any other. The force must "be from
yourself, and you must develop it- It
is that indomitable "I can" that sets a
man astride the world.
gST'The Ohio Cidlivalor says:
Take one pound of sal soda and half
a pound of unpacked lime, put them in
a gallon of water and boil twen'y min
utes, let it stand till cool, then drain off,
and put in a strong jug or jar ; soak
your dirty clothes over night, or until
they are wet through, then ring them
out and rub on p'euty of soap, and in
one boiler of clothes well coverwd with
water add one teacup full of washing
fluid ; boil half an hour briskly, then
wah them thoroughly through one suds
rinse, and your clothes will look bet
ter than the old way of washing twice
before boiling. This is an invaluable
.eceipt, and I want every poor, tired
woman to try it. I think, wuh a pat
ent-washiub to do the rubbing, washer
woman might take the old Bible and
compose her self on a lounge and let
the washing do itself

Wedntsaay night a gentleman, whose

first garrotted, then bound, and then
robbed him of three hundred dollars
which he had upon his person.
The same night Mr. Yaies, of the
First National Bank, heard a rap at
the door of his residence and a male
voice retiue'ted bim to come to the
door. Mr. Yates suspected foul play,
and opening the back door in tead call
ed out lustily, so that his neighbors
were aroused and came hastily over to
his house, when the fellow who bad
rapped him up hastily decamped. It
is suspected that the fellow had a de

Mr. Train makes the following
pointed reply to an invitation to address
a great temperance mass meeting at
DesMoines, Iocva on the Fourth of
July :
MVhen drunkards ta the right of us,
druukards to the left of us, drunkards
in front of us, blunder and stagger,
your mission is God like. When phy
sicians slop giving whiskey and alco
holic medicines to their patients; when
editors practice temperance as well as
preach it: when young men have the
courage to say "No!" when preachers
stop the practice of giving wine to
pledged temperance men at the sacra
ment; when temperance becomes as,
fasionable as drunkenness now is, cold
water will be at a premium. Inclina
tions say, Yes engagements, N.
Sincerely,
Geo. Francis Train.

Tha Local of the St. Joe Union
gives the following report of the goose
question in that vicinity :
"To h 1 wid the gocse ! I've spent
more money in ten minutes than the
bird is worth!" These were thesarcas
lics words of one who got into a gan
der scrape before Esquire Saltzman
Friday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Mike
Major had in their possession a mascu
l;ne goose. This goose Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Rice claim as a member of
their family. Suit was brought, a jury
sat four hours on the goose, witnesses
testified, some that it had "iwo slits
and one hole," others "four holes and
two slits," lawyers expatiated learnedly
on the goose question, moved to lay
the suffocating bird on and under the
table, quoted "Swan on geose," and
oiher competent authorities, and all
parties swallowed half a dozen geeso'
in fees. Meanwhile the innocent
cause of all this hubbub roosted conspi
ciously on a dry eoods box, and wink
ed knowingly at the 'Squire, who was
evidently prejudiced in his favor. It
was Germany vs. Ireland, and the ju
ry brought Ireland in ahead, whereat
the goose warbled "Erin go Bragh"
with variations, and Germany gave no
tice of an appeal. Mike won his goose''
and left.
