Hastened to assure the publ.c, after the
election, that he intended to abide by
the result, and to do all in bis power to
have others do the same. This is
proper, and judging- from his course
during the campaign Fuch assurance
wis necessary. He says he will oppose
any other method than the ballot for
political redress hereafter, but he does
not say whether he is willing to have
an untrameled expression by the ballot
or whether he still adheres to the plan
of forcing men to vote the Democratic
ticket cr starve.
HOMESTEADS
While it is a well known fact that a
large portio.i of the public domain in
this district is tied up by Kailroad
grants and titles vested in the State,
yet thirty-one thousand acres were
homesteaded and pre-empted in this
district during the month of October,
and there are yet thousands of acres of
rhoice land awaiting the settler, free of
cost, if we except the trifling sum re
quired as Land Office fees. We doubt
not the next Legislature will take some
steps to bring the State lands into mar
ket, and thus open up a large tract of
the finest lands in the State to the set
ler. ANYBODY. LORD."
The efforts of the democracy to lay
hold of something that will sectire for
them a post office, reminds us of the
good old maiden lady who prayed for
a man. While she was thus engaged,
an owl sang out " W h-o, w-h-o o ;" and
th good woman supposing it was a
question for her to answer, said : "Any
body, Lord ; so it's p man." The de
mocracy echo the cry, and say, "Any
thing, so it's an office." Their latest
dodge to secure some hope is portrayed
in a letter recommending that those
democrats who are elected cast their
votes for Gen Grant, in order that he
may "not be left altogether in the hands
of the adverse faction." What next.
EMIGRANTS
To the west will find Nebraska just
the country they want ; that is if they
are willing to work and would be satis.
fied with anv country in the world. It
is remarkably healthy ; the land can
be had for noihing ; the soil is not sur
passed by any in the world for the pro
duction of all the cereals, vegetables
and fruits raised in th"i3 latitude ; the
markets are as gocd as any place in
the United States; schools and churches
abound, and society is ahead cf most
localities in the east. Honest industry
cannot fail to bring affluence. In fact,
the man who would ask a better coun
try than Nebraska to live in would
want his "corn shelled."
A3T JMPOSITIO.V
It is curious to note what efforts cer
tain copper rebel papers make to man
ufacture political capital, even since
the election. One in particular, which
we have in our mind at the present
writing, has even went so far as t9 en
deavor to create political capital out of
the fact that wheat and com do not sell
at eo large prices as formerly, and at
tributes this decline directly to ihe elec
tion of Grant. We do not suppose any
person objects to this style of tactics on
the part of rebel worshipers, but it cer
tainly does look like an insult to tho
intelligence of the people to attempt
such a course. The man that would
attempt it certainly has no political
honesty, and honest people will soon
learn to distrust anything he might say,
on any subject. But it is in keeping
with the party that would place unre
pentant rebels in power ever a loyal
people.

XORTII A!t SOUTH R. R.
The question of a Railroad along
the west bank of the Missouri river
has been much talked of, but is now
becoming nearly a fixed fact. Some
have questioned whether the enterprise
would prove a paying one, hut that
quest'on has been decided in ihe sue
cess of the C. B. So St. Jo. Road ; for
if that road can be made to pay and
it does, handsomely any man knows
that one the west side cf the river
running through all the growing cities
of Nebraska, would pay far better.
It has been something of a question, we
understand, with St. Louis men, wheth
er it would be more advantageous to
them to hasten the building of Chi'Ii
colhe and Omaha- road, er assist the
road projected along the west bank of
the river, through Nebraska. This
question appears to have been decided
at the recent election in St. Louis. when
the proposition to take $2,000,000 of
stock in the Chillicothe enterprise was
voted down. We do not view this re
sult in St. Louis as denoting auy hos
tiliiy to the Chillicothe enterprise, but
merely sayiog "that, in the opinion of
the people of St. Louis, the first thing
to be looked after is the road along the
west bank of the river, draining the
rich agricultural regions of Nebraska.
They may thea see fit to help the
Chillicothe road. There is a company
now in process of formation for this
west side road, and everything looks
favorable for an early commencement
of actual "hostilities. The building
of this road is an enterpri-e upon which
there need be no difft-teare of opiuioo, i
because all are mine iniereateu 10 n,
atiJ it does nol interfere with the plans
or expectations cf any locality. It will
pass through he (at present) wealth-
jest portion cf the State, and does not
interfere with the building of another
road farther west, through Lincoln-

A Job rut Up by the U. S Detectives !
Erly on Wednesday morning, (th
lllh,) ihe tjA-n was thrown into a stmt
of intense excitement by the arrest ot
W. J. Abbott, 1'ost Master at Lmcoii
and Kerr, his deputy, charged wi:l
robbing ihe U. S. Mail. The.accusfti
were brought before R ibert Monienh
Esq., for examination. The prosecut
ing witnesses were Messrs. Ball and
Divis.U.S. Mail agent and detective-.
It appears by the evidence, that ow
ing to repeated losses of letters ton
taining money and oratts, upon tn
routes leading through Lincoln, it be
came necessary for the Department t(
trace out the guilty pmif s and stop the
leakage. Messrs. Ball &. Davis there
fore came to Nebraska City and mail
ed a letter con'aining 15. in marked
bank notes, addressed to Davis, at Lin
coin, at that Past Office. The agent.-
ihen embarked upon the same stae-
I that earrred the letter, and kejt their
eyes open at the various Postoffices or
the route. The coach arrived at Lin
coin wiih the Utter and the detecive?
about half pat seven in the evening.
The next morning the letter was
called for but was not forthcoming.
The P. M. and deputy were then ar
rested upon the information of Mr. Di
vis. Fourteen of the mising notes
were soon brought into court, having
turned up in the possession of J. P.
Lantz, Esq., who testified to having
received them the evening previous
from Abbott. Upon.. Abbott's person
was found tha other note corresponding
with the list of numbers in the possps
sion of the Agents. Afther the wit
nesses had been examined Mr. Kerr
was discharged from custody, no evi
dence having been adduced thai crimi
nated him. Abbott wa committed, in
default of 83,000 bail to appear at the
next sitting of the U. S. Court for the

And last, but not leaM, I leave it be

Now a bit of adrice to the people of

Don't you know he works for your

MORfJ TESTlMO..
A few well meaning men, ignorant
of the facts in the case Lave aked us
why we have, at various times, censur
ed the proprietor ot the Pacific House.
Our answer has been that we are op
posed to the establishment of rebel
headquaiters in a building which ought
to be run in the interests of bt. Joseph.
Our city needs a large hotel, centrally I
located, where gentlemen of all politi
cal creeds can put up without being in
sulted. At the Pacific House preten
tious picture? of rebel Generals peer
impertinently into the faces of loyal
guests at every turn, and the most bit
ter rebel sentiments are dinged into
their ears constantly. The organ o!
the Radical party of Northwest Mis
souri is not allowed in the house, at,d
was ordered ou'. of the barber shop re
cently by the proprietor himself.
Aga n, oi ly yesttrday, several col
ored men. who have long been connect
ed with the house in various capacil;es
were turned out without any previous
notice, simply because they were j;leas
ed at the election of Grant, knowledge
of which fact happened to come to the
ears of the proprietor.
And yet this man who hates Hadi
cals and loves rebels ; who allows loyal
men to be insulted in his house ; who
discharges employees for being loyal,
and who enjoyed the reputation of hav
ing shot a Union soldier in Macon City
during the war under the most aggra
vating circumstances, feels aggrieved
that the Union should say anything
against his house thai would induce
Union men to give it a wide berth.
We care not what his political views
may be, provided he makes no distinc
tion iu his treatment of those upon
whom he depends for support, but in
the light of facts it is an insult for J.
H. Bagwill to appeal to the llepubli
cans of Missouri for favor or patron

Great cities which are the hearts of

probably no city in the world centers in
herself more materiel of varied inter

which could come to the hands of our

white Republicans of that city were nut
"interfered with; no voter offering to

"ihe city was the mos.t peacabl? ever
"known there," are all polite phrases,
and true ones, but they are slightly de
fective. They omit the statement that
no while or cegro voter dare oilTer to
vo.e while rebel soldiers constitute the
armed police, and Rotiseau and Stead
man have the authority to order a gen
eral massacre. The Republicans of
New Ot leans might have fought their
way to the polls, and by a bloody con
test asserted their freedom; but such
an attempt would have availed nothing
while the regiments of Confederate
police were under the orders of a Fed
eral officer whose blood is tainted with
the old leprosy of slavery. No more
grateful scene could be presented be
foie him than the murder of negroes
"impudently"' claiming the rights of
freemen. Under these circumstances,
the failure of the Republicans of New
Orleans to vote was clearly a matter
