PMMaaaMaMaaaaawaaaaaMaMaaaaMMaaaaaiaa OMNIBUS BILL. Tbe Railroad B 11 introduced in the Senaie"'by,-MF.TliV"bf"'RicbardoD county, and familiarly known by ihe aboe caption, seeins to me.ejLwith jTet ly generals-censure ihroughout the State. ., The Oinoha Rublican cuucx ee the bill in a very ttbt:'niaqn?r(and by reference to a similar bill passed in the Legislature of Minnesota,' proves raost conclusively how ditatrou to the public weal, and more particularly to the. development of railroad in that Siatd such a bill has t een. Minnesota now has two millions of interest bear jDr bonds saddled upon her by a road led bill, and the road beds are to-day unfit for even the poorest kind of turnpikes.- ' Our opinion and we believe we ex press that of every thiokir g man in ihe State, is, that we should obtain every mile of; computed railroad that the! lands can be made to produce. We care not who bui'ds the roads, so that tbe bill disposing of the public improve ment land insures railroads fit aud ready for service. The Omnibus Bill is lamentably de fective in that it gis away the lands at the rate of 2000 acres for each mile of road bed. It does not even demand rrroad'bed ready nhtl fit to receive the iron; but is in terms that would permit any number of bogus-corporations to throw up lines c .rTirt. something like the Uveescn our' southern rivers, upjn which they would secure our lands. In a ward it squanders the lands with out proving for a railroad in any sense whatever Ve incline to the belief thai if the lands wexe thrown open to competion, so that companies actually building and completing railroad', could be assured, cf say 1000 acres per mile to .finished, and receivable pply in sections of twenty miles the real end and aim sought to be obtained, that is', the actual coiissruclion of railroads in the State, would be sooner achieved than bv anv other course. We favor eV av a restriction being put into the bill pre renting companies who receive the (audi fro-n selling ihem, to others than actual sellers'. And the. nds should be offered at public sale at a given point, of which' notice should be prop erly published, once in'each year after the expiration of a given time.. ?.The greatest amount of goad to. the whole Slate should be uppermost in the minds of our Legislators, and no bill touching these lands, should be favora Wy considered which seeks to rob the peopls cf their legacy for the benefit of any wild cat corporation. Every gu tleman in the Legislature thould bear in mind that the people aro watching taesn. closely, and thft the action which will be had on these lands, un less had in the spirit of the greatest good to the greatest number, will tell again:! them in the future. Jf.ihese lands are for public improve ments, Let the public derive the benefit; throw them open to fair and Honorable competition bind competing pmies to complete their work m first c!a order, and then we will have railroads built, instead roadbeds a la Minnesota; Tn terrible seal of public .' condemnation -will be stamped for .all time to coma on every man-who vot, away these lands withbut securing to the people that which is sought to - be obtnined ; railroads. - ". ' "! . We are not disposed to ba captious, tut, in the language of the Republican, "ye anlmile'' in that road bed smells so strong .that ihe public nostrils are seri ' ously offended; and the public eye sees so rethiog which' look very much like a-large mice inside tna Oinrjibua Bill. Since the publication of Gen Grant's views on railroad subsidies the "Kibgt have as if by intuition conceded the impracticability of obtaioin? any Con . gressional aid after the 4th of next March, and from present appearances it looks vpry much as if tach of the gTeat monpohes on .rails was doing its leyet best to get as great a proportion of the unsold laud of the government as it can, before the inauguration of the people's favorite.

To. .show ihai there i", we have only to refer to th fact that the " a?certatned cost of th rod bed 'of the Union Pacific Rmlroad according to the best iuf jrmati'io that the public can obtain1 from Oma ha to Sdlt Lake City,' including a- it doe all the heavy mountain work of ihe road, was only four ihou-aiiu dot hir per mtle.' Now. a there are no mountain ranges in all Nebraska, th road bed of these roads will not co .my such mm per mile. It will be hi erul e -limaie to put C at three thous and dollars. As the bill doe not re it iire these In rid.- t be sold until ten year, they will by that time,' and Ion jtiforehiive ' appreciated lo an exteni that not leg than five dollars an acre will be realized from them! (In every human probability it woii'd be much more.) rhat will give thesfi compa I me twenty thousand dollars 'per iiitle for their road led ben they have imde fifty miles of it each of ibeni wi he entitled to cue hundred thousand ai res of H nd, worth five hundred thou an I dolUr . The roud beds will have cost one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, leaving a nice lump of three Hundred and fi?iy thousand dollars in ihe potke.t of the manager of ihesr corporations. - Can any body suppose 'hat they are thin coiog to put their l-arids down deep into iheir pocket and pull out thi round sum and ex perjd it in laying down rail and buying locomotive aud cars? Why. their for une are already made They have got the riches they were playing for, utid there they will of course stop But, if anybody is iunocent enough to suppose any cher result, we reter 't.e ii to Minnesota as a case in point winch ouch? to dissipate their delusion In 1858 that State provided by consti tutional amendment for. loaning it credit to the amount rf five million of dollars to it railroad hue-, one hun dred thousand dollar of its bonds to be issued 10 each of the several lines named in the amendment d fast a they constructed , t-n. miles of their road bed These companies Went on constructing road led, and nothing else, un il th-y h;td drawn out two millions of the States bond, when the people fathomed their game and refused them any more bonds, till th-y finished some of heir road. The companies stopped there, and down went the fabric ot the M nnesota railroad system spreading disaster and ruin over.ih State.'.. Such a fact settles the case at once. We cannot avoid regarding this a fatal objection to thai provision of Mr. Reavis bill. Ia our opinion the pro vision should be so amended : as to re quire the railroad companies to finish, equip, and operate each ten miles of their roads before receiving any sub dy from the State. It is wise, if you cannot prevent tho passage of a law which jou deem unwue m principle, to use every effort to ' make it a perfect as possible, so tbt no ad vantage can be taken of it and tbe least harm result from its operation. It was in this 8pirit'thit we discussed Mr. Rea vis' land grant bill yest-rday morning, endeavoring to show wherein certain provision of the bill will operate injari onslv to tbo interest of the people in preventing the construction of railroad. We made no reference to our opposition to the principle f lurid grants to rail mads, hut confined oun-elf simply to showinz wherein the bill under dicu eii:n i fatal to the very purpose for which it is framed. . In precise1 the same sprit wo refer to the bill again to su?gt the incorpor. tionjnto it of a clause which we dern very essential to tha interests, of thi State ar.d it people. The bill reauirea- that all the land granted to tbe railroad companies named in It shall ba aold wirbia ten years i ne principle of that requirement we approve. The tirat which it sets we will not quar rel ahout jost now. ; But we do not un deratand that in reouirinz this, the bill makes say pan5cation as to vhere the I'tlid vliiiil be a O wo-liter in eurasna, or Cbicaco or Nw York.
