CIIILlICOTIIEi& OMAHA H.K
The Glen wood Opinion of last week
contains the articles of consolidation
between the C &. O. It. R. Co., and
the North Missouri R. R. Co.. whereby
the la ter is to give material aid in the
construction of the new line of road
end to j ut on r uling stock and hate
contro' of the business of the road for
a term of years. It is the intention of
the Compauy to push ibis road through
as rapidl, as possible and officers of
ih Company have lately been in Mills
county looking out the line end ascer
taming what aid can be got for the
rjad. The people of that county will
hold a mealing aome time next week.
at which tim-J it is expected the Presi
rUm of ihe road will be there. Now.
it i. generally conceded that Provi
dence helps those who help them
Belve-, especially in this western coun
try; and in view of this fact we have a
proposition to make to the people of
Cas county. It is- ihis: Let us go to
work with all our might and see if we
cannot induce this rosd to cross the
Missouri river at Plattsmouib. Now.
please do not put on a broad grin and
say suvh a thing is impossible, but jut
commence casting about you for the
bet plan of accomplishing it. We be
lieve it can be done, and it doea not
cost much to try. even if we fail. The
great object of the Company is to form
a connection with the U. P. Road and
that can be done easier, cheaper, and
at x great sating of distance fey cros
ing at this point than by going to Coun
cil Bluffs. From Glenwood to Omaha
via Council Bluffs is at least twenty
five miles, and a large part of the wny
over a very rough country to construct
a railroad; while by crossing the Mis
souri river at this place, a junction can
he formed with the Union Pacific Road
in less than sixteen miles from Glen
wood, and the entire distance over a
level country. But do you say the road
will have to cross both the Missouri
and the Platte rivers on this route. It
would have to assist in the bridging of
the Missouri at Omaha; and by joining
with the B. & M. R. R in bridging the
Missouri here that part of the expense
would be as tight here as at Omaha.
XVc doubt not an arrangement could be
fleeted wi.h the Platte River Bridge
Company, whereby that stream could
be bridged at a comparatively small cost
to the R. R. Co. Then, again, by
crossing here, this nw St. Louis con
nection would have the advantage of a
connection with the rich agricul oral
districts of the south Platte country,
olso with the B & M. R. R. Extensor
from hern west, which will be one of
the most" important reads wst of the
Missouri river. We might add innu
merable' reasons to show why there U
a probability of inducing this road to
cross-here, but do not think ii neces
sary. These reasons should be given
to the officers of the Company instead
of the readers of the He ld. Let us
rend a delegation of represeutenve
men to meet the Presidect of the rond
at en wood, and then we can soon tell
whether there is any chance of success.
CONGRESS
Re-assembled on the 6ih, and during
the first day's session resolutions were
passed in the House, condemning the
President for h:s removal of Sheridan,
and thanking Geo. Grant for the man
ner in which he addressed the Presi
dent in relation to the removal of Stan
ton and Sheridan.
On the 7th Senator Howard repor
ted cn the removal of Stanton by the
President The report declares the
President's doctrine as not only a step
rewards tyranny, but the essence of
tyranny, and then proceeds to pay a
warm tribute to Secretary Stanton, and
concludes by submitting a resolution
refusing to concur in the President's
suspension.
If the Democracy nominate Han
cock for President', it will be playing
the McClelian game over again put
ting up a General-on a peace platform.
And it will meet with the same fate
ignominious defeat.

MORE LIGHT.
There is a great cry throughout ihe
east for more light in regard to Ne
braska; and there is no other one ih'ng
that we take as much delight in as pro
mulgating a correct knowledge of this
country. We have received the follow
ins from a subscriber who lives in
Johnston, Trumbull Co., Ohio, (and by
the way, the name brings back memo
ries of our "gushing boyhood days' a.s
our earliest recollections are of the
town of Johnston'.)
H. D. Hatha wat Sir: Will you
please inform me how much a pair of
good farm mares are worth there, from
about 6 or 7 to 10 years old? al.o, a
ood 2-horse farm wagon, and new set
of double harness and for how mveh
fencing lumber can be bought. As a
general thing, about what time is the
Missouri open in the Spring, south to
St. Louis.
I intend coming there in the Spring
and would like to hear from you at the
earliest convenience.
Jlns. A good pair of farm mares
are worth from $300 to S400. And
when we fay good mares, we menu
such as would be called good in any
country, for we have a fine horses here
as they do in the State of Ohio. A
good two-horse farm wagon, new, is
worth from S120 to SI 50; such as farm
era here generally buy are worth abou
SI 25 to S130 dollars. A new set of
double harness sells in the sliois here
for about S35. Fencing lumber is
worth from S2o to $30 dollars per
thousand feet. Wire fencing is being
used extensively, and most farmer.
prefer it to boards. It is considerably
cheaper than lumber, costing only 11
cents per pound, and it takes one rod of
single wire to weigh a pound. A rod
of fence, 4 wires, including staples will
cost about 50 cents. Wire has sold
here for 9 cents, but we think 11 cents
about the ruling price. The Missouri
river, as a general thing, is open to St.
Louis about the first week in March-
Last year the ice did not go out till the
first week in April; but that was the
latest ever known. Some years boats
are up in February; but the average
time is about the first to the tenth of
March.

the piper that all may receive the ten

STATE ACeRICULTURAL, SOCI
ETY.
By reference to Chapter 1st, page 6.
of the Revised Statutes, it will be seen
that certain parties therein named are
created a body corporate under the
name and style of the "Nebraska Sta'e
Board of Agriculture," whose Juty it is
o meet in Omaha at sometime agreed
upon, and organize a Stale Agricultu
ral Society. The parties resident of
his county who are named in the act,
are Hon. S. M. Kirkpatrick. Prof.
J. G. Miller, Hon. Samuel Maxwell,
and Dr. A. L. Childs. We understand
hat Judge O. P. Mason, who is one of
the parties named in the act, has writ
en to the different members through
out the State, requesting that a meet
ing be held in O i aha, o i the 17th in
tant. As Nebraska is eminently an
Agricultural country, and her future
creame?s materially depend.- upon the
development of her agricultural re-our-
ces, it is-to be hrp-d that the various
members of the Board throughout the
State will be prompt in their attend
ance at this meeting, and set the ma
chinery of the society at work. There
is a small legislative appropriation for
the benefit and encouragement of the
society, and it is important that the or
ganizAiiou be perfected as soon as pos
sible, in order to have the benefit of
this appropriation. We hops the mem
bers from this county will remember
the meeting, and be on hand.

THE STATE COXFENTIO.
Some time since we ked ff it was
hot about lime a Republican SriteCo'fi
vemfon was being called; oI in n-
weT Ac Omha Republican 'assured
us that consultation was being held up
on the subject. We presume lhal
"consultation" tesuhed in the call
which has been published in that paper
signed by St. A. D. BJcombe as
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee. We have no desire to be cap
tious. or inquisitive about matters
which do not belong to us; but we deem
it but just to the Republicans of Ne
braska to esk by wha' authority the
btsis of representation in the last
State Convention is changed, and upon
what basis the present apportionment
by Mr. B:tlcombe is made? So far a
we have been able to ascertain, no
member of the Central Committee liv
ing South o: the Platte river has been
cunsul'ed in regard to the change of
representation, although they were
consulted as ti the lime aid pi tee of
holding the Convention. In the last
Sia'e Convention, held at Brownvi'le
the counties lying Somhot Platte river
had 45 delegates, and those North of
Platte river 25 delegates, giving the
South Platte counties 20 majority. -
That apportionment was based upon
the Republican vote of the different
counties. In the apportionment nude
by Mr. Balcombe for the coming Con
vention the North Platte counties have
21 delegates, only four less than in the
Brownville Convention, while the
South Platte counties are cut down to
23 de'egates, a reduc ion of seventeen
from the last Convention. If Mr. Bal
combe was determined on making a
new apportionment without consuming
the jther members of the Committee,
it seems to us that he certainly should
not have gone beyond the legislative
apportionment. By examining the
figures we find ibat under his call he
has given three of the North Platte
Counties that cast scarcely one hun
dred Republican rotes in all, as large
representation as he gives the solid
R ublican county of Cass; and Sarpy,
which always goes Democratic, is given
her full legislative representation. If
a new apportionment was desired, it
seems to us Mr. Balcombe could n t
have do.ie less than to consult the other
members of the Committee in regard
to it. We hope he may be able to ex
plain l is arbitrary action to the satis
faction of those interested, but we can
not believe that his apportionment is
just or binding until he does so If the
other members of the Centrl t'ommit
tee sanction this action, Then, of course.
the question is settled; but we hotild
like to see a meeting of the Committee
ield and the question of representation
decided by them, instead of by a siogle
member. There U plenty of time, and
wo hope, for the good of the party, that
a meeting may yet be had.

HU KLIX ILL AN,
We were permitted to peruse a let
ler yesterday from a rampant rebfl in
Tenftes-t e, uh'tIuriDf the recent war
came North to avoid the necessity of
fighting for the cause which, from his
professions it would seem, is more dear
to him than life itself. In this letter
the revelation is made, that an organi
zation exists in Tenuessee, (and we
presume it exits throughout the entire
So-ith.) called the Ku Klcx Klaj.
An extract from a Tennessee paper
attached to the letter says of the organ
ization: "No one, not members, know:
anything about it, except tnat its mem
bers go about the ne'ghborhuod armed
and heavily masked, atiu that frequent
murders of Union officers occur." It
also states that co far as heard from.
none but Uni n m-n are killed, and
adds: "We saw but the other day a
colored man whose clothes were near
ly cut off him in the attempt to lake his
life, by one of these tiinked batteries."
The writer corr-plain bitterly of th
piesence of Federal sohl srs in the
