whether the B.&.M. united in the buitd-

it not that the latter company, in tne
event cMLe reiusai oi tne otner roaus
to unite with ihriu on a bruise ac Belle
vue or some point in tlvai viciuiiy, pro
pose the extension of the B & M. road
some two hundred miles we.-t of the
Missouri, and there tap the Union Pa
cific road. This would effectually cut
off a large amount of buiess that
otherwise woiild go to Oii.-aha and
ihence be divided with the C. R I. &.
P and the C. & N. W. roads. It it
to be hoped not only for the f ut ire in
terest of ihe B. &M. road, but also for
the general interests of Southern Iowa,
andjtuore especially the undeveloped re
sources of Nebraska, that the latter
course will succeed While at Omaha
or Child's Mills, a connection would
give us a fair portion of the great East
and West trade an independent line
iruersectin the U. P. road two hun
dred miles farther west would throtv
the great bulk of trade and travel via
Burlington, as the shortest ea.-t and
west line. Burlington Uavck-Eye.
We fully endorse the opinion of the
Ilawh Ey. that the future interests of
this R. R Co. would be belter sub.-erv-ed
by making their westward exten
sion from ili is city; but there is another
point in this extension which we can
not think the company hasfailod t ob
serve. In the first place we take it for
granted that ihe B & M. R. Co. desire
a cornection with the Pacific Road,
and that the Pacific company desires
such connection at or as near the east
ern terminus of their road as posMble.
This can be acomplULed on a much
thorter, easier and cheaper line than
by making the connection at either
Child's Mills or Bellevue, and without
deviation from their original line. We
have already the means provided for
buildmg a hort line from this city to
imen-eet the Union Pacific in Sarpy
county, which would give the B. M
R. company the best connection that
could possibly be made. One of the
great inducements for the extension
westward; not only to the R. R. Co.i
but to Burlington, and especially to
Chicago, is the fact that there is not,
at the present time, a single line of
road either being built or in contempt
tion that will givp to those cities any
thing Jikefiirec communication with
the great trade of Colorado and New
Mexico. Let the B. & M. R. make
their Pacific connection by way of the
short line which we propjse from this
city, which will be the mo-.t advantage
ous to them and to the Pacific roaduelf
and then instead of joining the Pacific
road two hundred milet west cf ber?,
let them cross over to the Repultican I
river, which is only twenty-six miles
from the Platte, just beyond Ft. Kear-
. I

THE "UEFT1'" 11 A !.
The individual who proposes to do
.the "hefty" work of the Democratic
party in this county during the coming
campaign has been giving some of his
neighbors a foretaste cf his power a
ad orator and debater. We have been
furnished with o verbatim report of one
of hU speeches, from which we make
the following exiracs, in substance, ir
not in jnhogrnphy:
"I say that Aba Lincoln never got a
majority of the votes of the United
States in 1864, for 13 Siates were out
of the Union so says the Republican
Congress but I say ihey never were
out of the Union; and I further state thai
there never was a Democrat that went
into the rebel army that's what I r-ay
and I defy coi tradiciion. "This
is the dangersest position ihatthe world
ever wrs in, ana if they don'i come to
the Democratic pariy they will see
more blood than ihey taw in this late
war I mean the Republican party
that's what I mi." "Whu are
Democrats? Geo. B. McClellan, Gen
Grant and Vallandigum of Ohio.
These are Democrats, and if such men
especially Val.) had not of rushed lo
the standard the Union would of gone
to the dogs." "I fisrtherclai n thai
Secretary Floyd never gave arms to
the South, and can prove it if you dis
pute my word. I am prepared U
night.,"
Some of his neighbors think he needs,
a dose of vermifuge, or perhaps a small
amount of ll'inslow's syrup would
soo'.he his troubled breast.

every Republican voter attend these
primary meetings as t pon their action
depends in a great measure, the S'.ate

vention. Remember that the tain
paign before us is one of no ordinary

E III DAY, TIIC 13TII,
Is the day upon which Andrew John
son is 6uiii i oned to appear at th? bar
of the Senate to answer to the charge
of committing "high crimes and misde
meanors." This is the first iruiance in
ihe history cf our government where
the Pre-ident has been tried on im
peachment ariiele, as it it t'le fir:t
time in the history of our government
where the President has so willfully
and flagrantly violated so plain a law.
That Andrew Johnson will be found
guilty, ana removea irom oiice, we
have not the least duubt; in fact, we
cannot see how the result can be other
wise. That the Democracy will set
up a very large howl, and afterwards
"come down" and declare 'hat they
never did support Johnson in this mat
ter, we are thoroughly convinced.
And there is no sensible wn who does
not believe that, with a man in the
Presidential chair, who has the good
of the country at heart, the entire re
construction question be settled in
a very short time, and then our country
will again have quiet and peace, and
all parvirs will see that the present
action of Congress was ju?l what it
should be.
RECORDED
The Omaha Herald has come fairly
out and recorded itself fairly on the
side of Andrew Johnson in hU attempt
at usurpation. It differs somewhat
from that great Democratic lawyer.
R. J. Walker, who says ihe President
is bound to respect and ebey the tenure
act, nn matter what he may think of it
until it i declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court the only power
in this government eligible to decide
that point. The Omaha Herald re
cords itself in fnor of breaking laws
and pbv that "Andrew Johnson has
right on his side." We do not look
upon this as anything surprising, and
only call attention to it because we
wish it remembered. In less than
twelve months that sheet willdeny that
it ever endorsed Andrew Johnson's
course in the violation of law. Pear
in mind then, that in March 18G8 it
stood squarely up o Andrew Johnson
and approved his course in endeavoring
to oust Stanton in viola. ion of law.
UXITED A.D DEFEATED.
That the recent campaign in Omaha
was a square "s-and up" fight, and
that the resolt shows the exact status
of the two parties, is proven by ihe fol
lowing from the. Omaha Herald that
is if that paper is"worthy the credence
of the public." Here it wh;t it siys
"Heretofore, divisions which oppos
ing interests and men m tde it Jttiicult.
if not impossible, to reconcile, have
been rh main refii'iice. of our oppo
nents. They can count upon no such
ihin now. The Democracy were
never more thoroughly aroused, th-y
were never so solidly united, as at this
day,"
No Use. The Waterloo (Ind )
G7y Press publi-hes ihe following in
tercepted letter from a copperhead to
another one of those reptiles:
"K February 25, 1S63

Some of those u.en wo fought o

looking to ihe t-j-c:iiient of the .Fresi-
dent from his i-flice pending his trial
before the. Senate would produce in
stant war."
This is said from a Democratic stand
point, where it is taken for granted that
everything i to be done in furtherance
ot their purposes that they dare to do.
Congress dares to do what is rijjht and
necessary. I: is right enough that An

Dear Hekald. As our farmers
become independent, we see them in
tdul"ing in the luxuries of family car
riages and buggies, fancy harness and
teams to match. Their unprecedented
pVur - perity for the last three years has
nduced liarjy to exchauge the old
..umter warron" for a more stylish
..peafUre wagon,"' and their neighbois
vvn0 contemplate making the change as
soon a they sell their "next crop of
wheat," are thinking of "d ,ing a little
nicer thing" than they have done. It
will not be long till it will be a common
thing with many of our farmers to keep
a young teamei-pecfully for the pleas
ure of the family and the light work of
the farm to relieve the old plow foggers
that were compelled to work hard nil
the week trtidstand at the hitching
post at Church on Sunday. And this
will not be a luxury without its reward
pecutrarialy for while this is be
ing done the team will be increasing in
value, and the farmer will thereby be
repaid for his seeming extravagance
But this is not the point, Mr. Herald,
but fujj -ested itself as I was wondering
why our farmers did not take the same
interest in improving their burses as
ihey do in improving their farm, and
in selecting the be varieties of seeds,
and the most approved agricultural im
plements.
I Lave never been in a country
where there was such a conglomerate
mass of horse flesh as there is in Ne

that any particular type of horse pre

looking around to see a reason for this
confusion in lure flesh. I find twotha
appear to me to be the main causes
tl ai have produced this condition
affairs. First the setilers of Nebraska
generally, came here with small capi
'al, and in investing in horses sought
fuch animals as would answer their
purpose, and could be bought tor tne
least money; and as .a natural conse-
sequence it brought an iudifferent class
to the country; and secondly, many
never gave the sutj-ct a sober, second
thought. To them a horse was a horse,

There is a certain portion of the War
'hat wi I never go into ihe tegular hi
torie, nor be embodied in romance or
poetry which is a very real pari of it,
and will, if preserved, convey 10 sue
ceeding' generations a better idea of
ih. spirit of the conflict than many dry
reports or careful narratives of events.
and this pari may be callled the gossip
the f un, the ptiihos of the War. Thi
illustrates the character of the lertders,
the humor of the soldiers, the devotion
of women, the bravery of men. the
p'uck of our heroes, the romance and
hardships of the service. From the
beginning of the war, the author has
been engaged in collecting all the an
eedotes connected wi'h r illustrative
of it, and has group d and classified
ihem under appropriate heads, and in
a very attractive form.
The volume is profusely illustrated
with over 100 fine engravings, by ih
first artists, and it contents include
retninis'-encea of camp, puket. spy.
scout, bivouac, siege and battle-field,
with thrilling feats of brav ry. wit.dr:i
ery conical and ludicrous adventures.

It is joit such a volume as will find
numerous purchasers, and just such a
one as persons seeking lo act as book
