WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1SG7
THE KOSD QL'ESTIO.V.
The Omaha Republican cf the 2d,
comet out with areat flgurieh of dis
play letter, caps, small caps and italic,
announcing "The Slate capital humbug
xploded;" -No Official Bonds filed by
the cornmif siooers;" "The whole
'oarJ out of office;" ,lThe location at
La nearer a troad farce nnd cu'llty;'
and bases all this flourish and sensation
al headings upon the fact that the official
bonds of the commissioners were filed
in the office of the Secretary of State
instsad of ihe effice of the State Treas
urer. The Repnhlican quotes sec.
second of the act authorizing the loca
tion of the capital to show thai the com
missioners are not properly qualified.
The section reads as follows:
"Sec 2. aid commissioners shall,
befrre entering upon the discharge of
their duties, enter into bands in the
sum of sixty thousand dollars each,
with geed and sufficient sureties, to be
apprered by one of tie Judges of the
6,000 majority for I3rown!ow. Nash

WHAT VE IF A XT.
The Capital of the State of Nebras
ka has-been located at the Great Salt
Basins, and the people of PlattEinouth
desire lo secure all the benefit they
can from such locat:aa. How can we
obtain the grettest benefit? is the
question to be solved. We answer, by
a united and pertutent silcrt three-
fourths of the trade of the western
counties can be secured to Platisraouth:
Our road to Lincoln City is fire miles
shorter than is any other road from
the river, and it is at least another fire
miles bet.er. Does any sensible man
pre'end that Plattsmouth cannot secure
ihe cream of the western trade whils
she has this advantage ? If she cannot
if her business men have not the en
ere to' stretch fourth their hands to
Supreme Court, payable to the State grasp the golden egg which is before

of Nebraska, and conditioned for the
fai.hful performance of their duties
under this act, to fully account fcr all
monies that may come into iheir hands
as such commissioners, and they shall
also take and subscribe an eath to fully
faithfully and impartially carry cut the
proriaiens of this act, which said oath
shall be endorsed on their bond and
the same shall be filed at the office of
the State Treasurer. If any of the
commissioners herein appointed fail to
qualify as prorided in this section,
within ten days after the passage of the
Act, the remaining two shall fill the
racancy by appointment, and the person
so appointed shall qualify in the man
ner provided in this act
The facts, as we understand ihom,
in regard to the filiDg of the bonds of
the commissioners, are these: The
lond3 were properly drawn, signed,
approred, acd the oaih endorsed, but
were sent br the approrir.fr Judge, to
the Secretary's office instead of the
Treasurer's office. The Secretary
beiD absent, his Clerk received them
and depoaited ihsm in the safe; and
nnr.n thu iriflinsr iuformalitv the
pullicaii bates its wonderful a&d as
toni:hing disclosure that the whole
transaction in regard to the location of
the capital i a "broad farce and nul
lity." Dare the Republican claim that the
bondsmn are releated became of this
informality ? What are these bonds fer?
This same section says they are "con
ditioued fcr the faithful performance
of their duties under this act to fully
account for ill monies that may cesne
into their bands as suth commission
ers. Has eny monies come lata
their hands as yrt? 'ihe Rejiulliczn
lays jjreat stress upon that portion of
the section which says "if any of
commissioners herein appointed fail
to qualify as prorided ia this section,
within ten days after the passage of
this att,"etc, and concludes that the
filing of ths bonds in the Secretary's
effice ie a complete failure to qualify.
While we do net pretend to any lega
knswlsdge upon this point, we are in
clined to think common sense would
teach any one that the only ebject in
the filing of the bonds is that they may
be in some place where the State can
hare the benefit of them if needed
and eren admitting that the Sccrsta
ry's office is not the proper place, and
that the State eeuld not obtain them
from there, and that the ten days have
expired within which the commisahn
era were to qualify, yet if the bonds
are now deposited with the Treasurer
there is not a court of justice in the
world but would decide the bonds good,
the commissioners properly qualified.
and their eels as binding as though the
Rtpublican had been consulted upon
the whole matter. But we see no use
discussing this subject; the Republican
knows as well as every thinking man
in Nebraska, that the bonds are good
and the acts of the commissioners valid;
and the only object that paper expects
to accomplish is to create distrust
for a lime in regard to the legality of
the location, and thus pre en: capi
tal from investing in Lincoln City,
The thirg is too shallow, and the great
vehemence wi.h which the point is
pressed shows that the author has no
faith in his premises.

It was to be expected that, in the
location of the copital of ibe State, every
locality would have a preference, even
as we of Cass County had; but that all
could not be satisfied was eelf-evident.
In speaking cf tho location saTecied by
the Commijsioners, the Nebraska City
Press, says:
The Commissioners having mads a
careful and through examination of the
section of the State indicated by the
bill under which they acted, have lo
cated it at such a point as they deemed
best, between Lancaster and Saline
Cities. Not where we of Nebraska
City wished it, but wheie they believed
it best for the interests of the State
thai it should be placed, and we as peo
ple, yielding our preferences, will
give an earnest support to the measure
although Plattsmouth is placed nearer
to it than we are, and she would appear
to be likely to receivo greater advan
tage frinr lis
location. By energy
and enterprise, ; l,iw. ui,:o iaiuii-
tion with other towns on the
river, our paople will eecura a
fair 6htre of the resulting advantages
of the location. Omaha, Plattsmouth,
Nebraska City and Brownvi'.le, are
about equslly dwtant from the Capital.
The whole couiitry west of Cass, Otee,
Nemaha and Uichar.eon will be peed-
ily settled up. lla.lroidi will be built.
and there will bo a general develop
ment of th9 interior of the State.

A GOOD JOKE.
Many yars age, when church or
gans first came in use, a worthy old
clergyman was pastor of a church
where they had just purchased an or
gan. Not far from ihe church was a
large pasture, where a great many
cattle grazed, and among them a large
bull. One hoi Sabbath Mr. Bullcatue
up by the church grazing, "and ju.t as
the Rev. Mr. B. was in the midst of
his sermon -'boo woo-woo'' weuttho
bull.
The parson paused and looked up
at the sinking soau, and with a grave
face, said ;
"I would thank the musicians not (o
tune their instruments during service;
it annoys me very much.'
The people stared; acd the minister
wont on.
Boo-woo woo'went the buil again,
as he drew a little nearer the church.
The parson paused, again and ad
dressed the choir.
"I rearlly wish the singers would net
tune their instrument while I am
preaching."
The congregation littered, for they
knew what the real cauoe of this dis
turbance was. ,
The old parson went on ogain, and
he had just about started good,
when "boo-woo-woo" came from Mr.
Ball.
The miiii.tor paused once more and
exclaimed.
"I have requested the musicians in
the gallery not to tune iheir instrument
during the sermon. I nov partic-j-larly
requeat Mr. L that he will not
tune his duble base organ while I ara
preaching."
