ly, if it devotes the proceeds ot the Stai lands to secure the construction of bridges across tbe river at the fol lowing places, viz: o near usntotAii, one at or near Aahl-tntl, one (U of near Columbus and one at or near Grand Island. , , ; In. passing I wish to refer to the re fusal of lha Secretary f the; Interior, to pay to the. company whoar pushing forward, the jbonstruciioo.of this road with such marvelous rapidity. The plea that the culvers ate Dot sufficieBily substantial, since it is Usown that they hare not yet failed and that they now are being replaced- as fast as possible with durable stone structures, ouht not to prejudice for one moment, the interests of the company. I suggest that you memorialize Congress and the . Secretary of the Interior upon the sub - " BAILROISS, ", '' It would be a waste of time to. stop here to speak of the commercial impor tance or id discuss the great influence of railroads, in securing the rapid set vi v ill v aJ JL. iia v i cgivu vb w mwh j fc w ' which they ' run and its early growth. ' Thiers ar na - unsunnlied ' neichbor- " hoods in tbe country, the inhabitants of which are not intent upon securing communication by railroads.' The lines are stretching out in all directions: America . is emphatically the land of railroads.' The national' government has interested itself io roads that will span the continent. In this it has sought and will secure national advan tages, hitherto unknown in tbe history of the worlds - States have encouraged . the construction of railroads and they in. lam have enriched tbe States Mny towns have aided the building of roads and tbe roads have increased ttie commercial facilities and importance ; of tbe towns. The State of Nebraska should likewise seek to encourage a system of railroads which will bring the greatest" prosperity, to the whole State. The benefits to ba derived are manifold, but the immediate means are , only two fold. . First, quick, and cheap "" transportation. . .Second, the building r i'P of commercial marts, places of ex- . change ana transter. inese oemg in their train, increase of.' population, home markets, enhancement of values, ! social and moral advantages, augmen tation of nhvsical and political power The moulding, then, of the future of our young State, is felt by the people ti be confided to this General Assem bly. . 'They will . regard with uncom mon, interest, every step taken toward .the disposition of this subject. LAITD DIPilfMENT. , fin ittnnl nnrl r rtsf ill ilipntinn rn ripen piven in thp . selpnlinn nnd pnlrv m toe name oi tne state, ot the lands given to Nebraska by. the General Government That work is now com pleted..1 With the possession of these, the land interests of the State have suddenly assumed grand proportions. .L. - c . u tt . vn tue uuiiijiieuuu vi tue uua-iuuicm surveys, there will be nearly three and one-fourth millions of acres under the supervision nnd control of the State. Of these lands, not less than two huo dred and fifty thousand acres, in addi tion " to j a' Irrge quantity of .the school tanas, . !wiu , oe crougnt into -marKet within l ft A ndvt turn r a n r m TSd . t f 1 - Ml I 1 - .'cessful management of the interes!3 of the Slate in the disposition of them and in the handling and investment of the funds derived, will require a distinct branch,' of the Executive department. Their great importance makes it neces sary that they be placed under the con stant and undivided attention of the highest ability in the State.'' DISPOSITION OF THE STATE LANDS. .. The land ' granted by Congress for. at the Capital and those given for the erection of a penitentiary, should bt immediately brought into market and disposed of within the . next two years at a . minimum price of not less than five dollars per acre. . - ' ! ' .;. A prison for state coavists is a pres ent necessity, made urgent by the de mands cf justice and humanity. The erection of the wings' contemplated in tbo original plan cf this building, will, before provision can be made. by the next ueneral Assembly, become neces ' safy fot the accommodation of the pub . lie business. - The continual increase . of the Library, the separation of the echool and land department,' with the increased clerical force thnt will be re rjoired in the several offices, will make even the present ample accommoda lions of theea walls tcq crowded for tbe convenient transaction cf the business f5the Stafe.r : o ;i ! ' " ' a iThe 'sale of the State University add Agricultural College lands' will also demand your attention. (Joe of the 'Conditions imposed in the grant of . ';P,ublic , Lands, to , the several Slates which - may-provide : colleges- for the benefit ct Agriculture and Mechanical Arts," i3,thari new State shall ba entitled td the berefits of the act, by expressing :ho.' acceptance therfjn re Squired, within three-, years from the dale of its admissiait' into the Union ,and providing the -college or colleges within..-five years after such, accept ance, as prescribed in the act-,r' 1 will be seen that but three years re- roam for iha erection of the building, ;The proceeds of the endowment will be needed immediately open its comple tion.' ' - : ','1 will, birely allude" to the question which has arisen in some sections of the State as to the interpretation of the .law providing for the sale and leasing of the School lands. : People differ1 in iheir opinion's! as to whether the unsold lands can be aain presented for sale after the first' offering of lh-im; ,a Of the Jantia contiguous to ihe salt s-prings.i which uoquestionably- were latent ed to aid, so tar -as such aid should rreeded, in the development of the full 'capacity of the springs and furnish sufficient area for the conve niencies of salt manufacture. I would recommend that so much as may' be required for that object be sold or pit- eo. fee tbe sinking of wells, and, that k itX uf two cents on evriy Lu-liel ot salt made, .-hall be exacted and receiv ed by the Siate. This if the opinion of competent men who have examined the springs are weli cased will be economy on the part of the State. They esiimate that brine cad be ob tained in quantities equivalent to up ward of one thousand bushels of fait per day. -:: .The internal improvement lands should be given under'proper. restric tions, including the conditions imposed by Congress, directly to those .bridge and railroad companies,, wliose w-or-ks. will entitle them, according to- your judgment, to the aid of the State I hey should be given, in quantities prescribed by law, and only upon com pletion of certain portions of the works. The State desires the early comple t:on of substantial and enduring works of internal improvement. . Thnt which would secure energetic action on tbe part of individuals will insure it on the part of companies and that which would fail to secure it on the part of individuals will fail to secure it on the part ot companies. ' We cannot look for the early.completion of public works which shall be encouraged by only unfixed and indefinitely future subsi dies. The proceeds of the future sales of lands are indefinitely and contingent and in commercial circles are deemed unreal. On the other band, an actual grant of land at the completion of work is something definite and tacgible. This, then, settles tbe question as to which policy will command the invest ment of capital, and insure the early completion of the works. 1 l. Tbe considerations in - favor of thi poticy do not, however, rest here There are several strong and satisfac tory argument in its favor. ' . Jt irst it tuinils tne obligations im posed in the grant .and meets the ends sought by them. ' : Second It wil) effectually . secure the objects sought by Congress. Third It is sustained by most sub stantial consideration- of economy . .The obligations imposed in the act by which these lands are granted, are, that the lands -'shall not be disposed of at a price . less than1! one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, until other wise authorized by a law of the United Siates; that the neit proceeds -of such lands shall be faithfully applied to ob jects of internal improvement within ihe S'te;" ' and that these works shall be free for the , transportation of ihe U. S. Mail and munitions of war and for the passage of troops without the payment of any toll whatever." The objects of these requirements are man ifestly these: to prevent them from being put in such compeiit.on .as, to prejudice the sale of the lands retained by the General Government; to secure them from being squandered, and by preventing their diversion to other pur poses, to secure the objects enumerated in tne act. li is not to ce presumed that Congress designed to prescribe the manner of sale cr to limit the act ot selling to any particular agent. The Slate does not act ns a collective body.' but through us "officers or agents duly authorized by tbe. law making. 'power The Legislature trust designate tbe agent or provide for his appointment It may designate an individual,' or it may designate a company. ' In neither case are the requirements cf Congress violated. The ultimate objects sought to be ob tained by means or tne errant, are greater facilities of transportation and the enlargement of the physical re sources and power of the couniry, by increase of population- and develop ment of wealth.' The Congress seeks to attain these at as early a day as pos sible, and before ihi people can acquire that degree of wealth that they can build them without aid. This can be most effectually . done 'through the agency of the companies, which are to receive the proceeds from the sale of these lands. Should the State under take the sale cf these lands, it cannot consistently, bring tbem into market at a price below that fixed by the Consti tution and statutes, as the minimum at which the school lands can be sold. To do so wsuld prejudice inipjriact in terests of the State. On the other hand, to hold them at ihe same price with the school lands, would be to retain them, until nearly two hundred end fifty thousand acres, besides the unsold school lands lying east of them are disposed of. . Consequently .our works of internal improvement would be indefinitely postponed and the ends sought by Cougrer.3 would .be, in a measure defeated. . ; la conclusion cf. this subject, I would recommend that in. all cases in. which it is not . prohibited- by the terms cf the grant, that the expense, incurred by the State in. the location and entering of any Jands, shall be repaid into the treasury of ihe State from the first pro ceeds derived from the sale of said lands ' " The people have-' chosen you -from among their number, and entrusted 5'ou with the 'disposition of .hese sub jects. " They have confidence in your wisdom and ability.1 In conclusion, I assure you ;1of my most hearty co operation n all measures that will con tribute to the early and permanent presperity of- our young and enterpri sing State, : '- -'K'- i DAVID BUTLER- Died in the Wool.

Likcoln, Neb. , . Jan. IS, 1S69 - The Senatorial question was settled Ian' night, by the selecticn of Hon. T. W.tTipton, the present incumbent,' on the second ballot. -The Republican members of the Legislature met in caucus on Thursday evening of last week, and balloted four times without making a selection. Mafquett's vole ranging from 7 to 12i McCann's 9 to 10; Butler 9 to ll; and -Tipton 13 to 15. The caucus met again Saturday evening and ballotted thirteen times more, with nearly the same results as on Ihursd&y evening. Last ' evening the first ballot stood, Marquett 14; Ale Cunn 8; Tipton !22. . On the second ballot. JMarquett received 15 votes; McCann 2; Tipton 27. The nomina tioa of Mr. Tipton Was made unani meus. ' Mr. Tipton was loudly called for, and appeared .and made a short speech. Marquett, McCann and But ler ueieated candidates were y next called for, and made .short speeches, each thanking .the friends who had had supported them and endorsing the choice of tbe caucus. : Messrs. Mason Redick Saunders and Strickland, each made short speeches. The feeling for several days has run high, and the fight was determined , though friendly, The Cas delegation did their best to elect their man, and only succumbed to a superior numerical force.' The for rnal election will be gone through with to-day, and the Legislature .will then be prepared. to devote more thought to ordinary legis'ation. The contested case cf Sjderiham rs Barnum is in the hands of .the commit tee, and that of ' Parker vs Bruh i: mnde the special order for to morrow iur. tiagoou, irom uass, nas made a very able1 minority report in the latter case, which dives ;down deep into the merits of the case. ; I was out, one day last week, exam ming the salt works of Mr, Tichenor, some two miles west of tLe ciiy. He has some twenty kettles, and has man 0 m r f-w- utacturea some, very nne sa:t. iae work are standing still at the preseui time, awaiting som.e action on the par of the Legislature in order lhat n lease may be effected.1 ' ! - II. ; . . . state: i.aivds. " We gather ' from the Press of th State that public sentiment is favorobl to a partition of the 45"2,000 acres ol public lands now held in trust by the State for tbe advancement of "Public Improvements.'" : Any amount of Utopian ideas have been advanced upon this subject; but the sentiment to-day, seems strongly in favor of an equitable settlement of the question by a division of the lands, so made as to insure speedy benefit to the Suite. If the lands must be parcelled out by this session of ihe Legislature, we hope that North Platte will get her share as well as South Platte. Al ready 4S.000 acres have been obtained for the branch cf the North Western road, terminating at Fremont on; the Union Pacific. railroad, and ibis amount should be taken into consideration io the new division likely to be had soon at Lincoln. Again,' the immense ben efits obtained in. North Pialte by the construction of the U. P. R.-Ri should etuer lato an 'equitable adjustment of conflicting claims. Already two read? in Nonh'Platte have shed iheir wide spread influence; for good in that por tion of the country; but, 'nevertheless, the people there are entitled "to further aid and a just and fail bafano should bf struck ,so - that (L'iey:jiiay obtain whatever is, their due ogt.of lhe divls ion of the remainoVer. " . cn',: 1 -In ihe Scuthv Platte country no rail roads have'yet been constructed and no aid from the Stale, has been obtained. It is true that tbe B. & M- R. li. Co. htve a grant of land on their line, but owing toJ'the decision of ' Secretary .... 1 1 . , . t . . . Browning, of the Department, of the Interior, that grant, from th Missouri river, is absolutely worth nothing to the Company until it reaches' beyond Cass county. Ihe secretary or me interior decided that the ' Company could - not take other lands In lieu of those within the limits of their grant when the ime were occupied by actual ! sellers; and this decision, in fact and iii truth, gives no aid in the' construction of their road uatil they get beyond Cass County. .This fact, we hope, will: induce our merabertf to Jay a 'claim- for at least 50,000 acres to aid;the County in ob tain:nr a road. ' Had the B. & M. R. Co. been permitted to selectother lands in lieu of those occupied on its lines tbey would Lave held for that portion of their road which is projected through this county aku 192.000 aires; but the decision of Secretary Browning deprives them of this amount, and we deem it only fair, just and equitable that ihe State, through their represen tatives, , should appropriate " at ' least 50.000 inlerea to ibis county or io the B & M.; Co., and thus enable it to re ceive some little remuneration for the vast outlay the Company wi'l be at in the construction of its line. It will le useless to squander the lands hi small amounts; and if every projected road in the State is to have a share, then the division will defeat the object n view, by rendering the amounts too small to materially aid the work of construction. Tbe lands will be raort gaged to eastern capitalists for a nomi nal value; and, eventually, the land and roads, as far as constructed, w: pass into the hands of eastern men. i woujd be wiser to select a fen' road whose influence will be fcr good, and whose projectors are ( abundantly abl to complete the work, than to dispos sess the people of these lands for th purpose of having them pass into tbe hands of ft few contractors,- who wil stop work as soon as money for thei laborers ceases to be furnished by the Companies which obtain the lands We are not prepared to say what lines are the best. This is a question so fraught with importance to the State that we hope tune and pn.ient enquiry will be had before a have full faith in the decision. Wi ability of ou Legislature to . decide, this importan question; and have no doubt they wil decide correctly, i Of course we do not ignore the fact that some sections of the country 'will feel sore', but we say to all, be of good cheer Nebraska is sure of railroad facilities. If all cannot be satisfied now, it will not be loDg be fore every important point in the State will be. possessed of railroad cominuni caiiuti. . ,; STATE I..EG1SI.ATUIIE.
