PUATT S MOUTH, NEBRASKA- ; ;
THURSDAY, FEU. 4, 1863;
COIlRESrOXDEXCE.
We are. lasirom tt reseiviag carrjapimdetc from
all FrUof the State,' reUtlT to the taaterial late
esti of the country, together with tuck, otkar t
er as contributor may deem of interest.
STATE LASD9.
We incline lo the belief that our
Legislature should provide some means
13 render the State Lands available for
the purposes for which they were ori
ginally intended- These lands cover
707,700 acres of land, and deducting
the 500,000 which are likely to be
rarcelled out by the presesession of
the Legislature for internal improve
ment8,we have 207,760 acre of lacd
as follows:
72 sections to aid State University.
72 " development Saline
Lands.
20 sections to aid State Penitentiary
on . . state liiiutiiDgs
90,000 acres to aid State Agricu'tu-
rnl CftUtttrm.
These lands, we understand, are all
well located in the finest portions of the
the State, and will command ready sale
at a fair figure. They should not be
allowed to remain in the same situation
that the non-Vesident lands in the Slate
-;' tnt should be thrown open to
-rw'seulers at as early a; day as
nrar.f.Mble. Our. Legislature should
pats a law placing these lands under
control of some State Department, set
a minimum price on them, and author
their sale. through the properly au
nf the Slate: aland
inouzeu u&-
commissioner, for instance, who should
hound in a large amount
to fairly and honorably discharge' the
duties of his office ; his salary to be a
certain percentage on the actual sales
We suggest the propriety of seme
such course, for the reason, that owing
to large amounts of land in our Stale
heinr; held by non residents, specula
tors and railroad monopolies, the set
tlement and consequently the develop
ment of the State is seriously retarded
fc;ia the same time the buildings
necessary to the successful operation
of our Slate Government are urgently
demanded by the people.
There are many important .point.
connected with a law putting such a
course as we advise in force which are
highly important to its successful opera
tion. These could be developed in an
Act covering the whole case, and we
doubt not,. that should any leakage
i-ropn into it. there would be some of
- - r
our watchful legislators ready to point
out the defect and secure such amend
ments as would give us a strong and
healthy law. We hope this matter
will meet with the consideration which
its importance demands ftom the pres
ent State Legislature, and that before
the close of the present session we taay
be able to announce the passage
uch an Act as we have indicated.
uf
INDIA! DEPARTMENT
It will be seen from the late ds
patches that the committee on Indian
affairs in the Senate, reported a bill to
detach the Bureau from the Depart
ment of the Interior and erect i n In
d:an Department, without a seat in the
Cabinet, similar in- this respect to the
Agricu'lual Depntaient, and provi
ding for its reporting direct to Congress
The general impression if? that this bil
will not become a law, at least for the
present. The sentiment in Congress
is in favor of postponing the considera
tion of thu matter until after the close
of the present session. It is to be re
gretted that the views entertained by
-the President elect are not sustained
on this question. We honestly believe
that a great source of corruption would
be most effectually dried up, could ihe
management of Indian affairs be en
tirely transferred to the War Depart
ment, while at the same time, the hon
est administration of the business con
nected with the Indians would forever
allay the hostile feeling now existing
among the various vibes of the interior.
The feeling of animosity to the vhites,
in a great measure, grow out of the
wholesale robberies committed by par
ties connected with Iadian Agencies,
"against the Indians; and this prolific;
cause of hostiliiy once effectually
squelched would' do more to maintain
peace than anything else. Another
reason why the War . Department i?
belter able to control this whole matter
is, that the Army ever has beeu sta
tioned along the frontier and brought
mare or less in CDntact with the 'differ
ent tribes, thereby enabling the officers
to form more correct estimate of Iadi-
' aa character , and ' wants, ' than the
favorite lying friends of Senators'and
Congressmen, who are started from
our great cities, to manage Indians,
and make thair pile, as a reward fur
their valuable services in the various'
: political campaigns in which their con-
. greiiional friends, were triumphant.
We, as a people, look for wisdom in
action of t!iae vd elect to frame
our laws and manage the affairs of our
nation, but if the mainiaiuance of a
great evil must be sustained ihat lucra
tive position may by provided for men j
who" sell their influence to,, secure a
chance at the "perquisites" of .Indian
Agencies, out of which so many have
become wonderously fat., then indeed
has this people come' to a cond'iion that
is clearly deplorable, and should the
decision of Congress b against the
ransfer of the Indian Bureau to the
War Department, no other conclusion
can be well arrived at by the people.
than that our representatives in Con
gress are blind because they will not
see, and deaf bicause they will not
hear. We sincerely, hope ihat this
whole matter will be thoroughly venti-
aied before the final action of Con
gress, and that the immense outlay of
moneys involved in our frequent and
necessary campaigns against hostile
tribes, may be stopped effectually by a
radical change in the management of
the whole family cf "Loa."'
FROM THE CAPITOL.
Editorial Correspondence.
Lincoln, Neb.
Feb. 1,1869
As is usual, the latier part of the
session is likely to be crowded with
important business, and it will be
&trange if some measures are not acted
upon too hastily for the public good.
Several important bills are now before
either House, and many more are be
io3 matured. " We hrtve two different
bills up for disposing of the public
lands, and several others are likely to
be introduced sooo. Every man seems
to have some pet scheme cf his own
It appears now very much like the
question was settled in favor of giving
the State lands to Railroad companies
and there is a terrible scrambling to
see who shall gel the biggist crab.
There is a growing fueling, however
that we should give no lands for rail
road beds, but that we should have ac
tual railroad in running order, before
anybody gets a foot of State land.
There ore a very few men who main
tain that these land should nut be gi
en direct to railroads, but that the pro
ceeas or sales only snoutu te given
and that lands should be so! I to none
but actual setters. The Bill abolishing
the death penalty was up for discussion
before the Senate one day last week
and all the oratcrs were allowed to fx
ercise their lungs. The till was de
feated by a vote of eight to fur. Had
the State been supplied with secure
jails and a good Penitentiary, the resu
might, and probably woulJ, hzve bee
different. The feeling was in favor of
abolishing the death penalty, but the
judgment of the Senate was against it
at the present time. I hope to see the
dty when the death penalty will le
abolished throughout the whole land
A bill requiring a majority of the free
holders of any precinct lo sign a peti
tion therefor before any person could
be licensed to. sell liquor, was indefi
nitely postponed last Saturday. An
other bill will probaoiy be introduced,
wiih modifications, as there is a gene
ral feeling in favor of placing heavier
restrictions upon the whisky traffict
A new school bill will be brought be
fore the legislature in a few days, al
most an exact copy of the present law
except that provisions are made for
electing Slate and County Superinten
dents, also for graded schools, and a
few defects in the present law are be
ing remedied. II.
STATE XEWS.
The Nebraska City JVetrs contains
the following items.
Nebraska City is worth Sl.656.2SS.
Bricks. 200,000 bricks are now in
the city ready for the spring work.
The aggregate weaUh of Otoe coun
ty has increased more during the year
1568, than any two previous to that
time.
.The new buildings that will be erec
ted on Main street, during the coming
season, will cost $150,000.
' Fourteen head of ca'tle died in the
vicinity of Bennet's Mill last week of
dry murrin. They belonged to John
McCarthy of Wyoming precinct. Du
ring cold weather eattle should be
driven to water.
James G. Bios 3, formerly telegraph
operator at this place, and now of
Council Bluffs, Iowa, left the city this
morning with his family, for his now
place of abode.
.Meait. the citizens of Wyoming
with malice towar J our young city and
without giving us notice, held a railroad
meeting al thai place on Wednesday
afternoon and evening, for the purpose
of securing the terminus of the "Bur
lington & Missouri River Railroad" al
Wyoming; as an inducement the citi
zens offered the company 3100,000 in
greenbacks and one half of the town
site of Wyoming.- The following gen
tlemen were appointed a csmmittee to
correspond with the officers of the com
pany io regard to the location: F. W.
Itolb, Hiram Hurst. Henry Davi?, i
J.din Mc Carthy and C. H. Cowels.
A. person, who aueded the meeting id-'
formes us ihat ihe most iiitense excite-
jiTent .prevailed during the delibera
lions, and ihat the amount SlOO.000
was subscribed by citizens quickly
and without hesitation. The only ihing
that troubled them in the least was,
how to secure ooe-ha'f of the townsiie,
which rumor says belongs to Nebraska
City man. From our experience in
railroad matters, and particularly wiih
this company, we suggest that they
withdraw that proposition and give the
company one million dollars. It will
bo jui as easy for Wyoming to pay one
million as one hundred thousand. Give
ihe-.n a million by all means.
"Snaix " On January 1st, 1S69,
the son of Mr. Beask'y, farmer near
Nebraska City, discovered a large

This snake was probably out calling
He was immediately slain. . This
Demonstrates the mildness of Nebras
ka winters. But we hrve aaoiher
proof in the fact that thosame.Mr
Beasley caught a butterfly in the
woods on the 14th of this month, the
butterfly aforesaid being only arrayed
In summer costume and a

The Pawnee Tribune says that on
Sunday , night Ia3t somebody entered
Shellhjrn's Store Room bv cutting the
window sash and taking out severa

open and a little change not- over
three dollars taken. The thief has
not been discovered.
Mr. J. E. Crow, "the big farmer
of Richardson, who is spending the
winter in Pawnee City, while absent
last week; sold a portion of his farm
for S19,000. , Ihe cultivated part at
30 per acre and the raw prairie at
la per acre. JMr. crow still owns
oyer 2,000 acress of the same body o

A Seeiods Accident. Afrihtfu
accident occurred to a well known citi
zen. Mr. Phillip Norton, at the corner
of Thirteenth and Chicago streets yes
terday afternoon al about 4 o'clock
which may yei result in the death of
the injured mm. From what inform
ation we could gain on the subject it
would appear that Mr. Norton was at
temptins to stop a team of freightened
mules, and in the effort to do so was by
some means thrown under the heels of
the animal?, when one cf the .rules
began kicking at a desperate rate, two
of the blows being received by Mr
Norton about ihe head and face. One
of the kicks inflicted a' serious scalp
wound, just above the frontal boae
and several inches in length. The
other blow was lodged against the low
er rim of the brow and extended down
ward to the t:p of the nose, mashing
the face and nsse in a horrible man
ner. The wounded man was picked
from the street and carried to his home
where he lay in an insensible condi
lion tor soma li ne. ut. Dan was
called upon to dress his wounds, and
from him we learn that the wounds in
flicted are not necessar.ly of a fatal
nature. Rejyublican,
A correspondant writing from Glen
wood, Iowa, to the Omha Republican
says that ths Westers Siage Company
are putting on a line of coaches along
the line of the B &, M R R. via Glen
wood, Pacific Cuy o:i the line of the
C. B &. St. Joe R. R , PUttsmjuiliand
Salt Creek Valley lo Lincoln, the Cap
ital of your Slate.
This is greatly needed, and no com
pany are as well able to open a good
line as the Western. This line is
expected to be on and in running con
dition by Feb. lOih. 1S69. It is inten
ded to follow the survey of the B &-M
R R R. The work on said road at
this point is being pushed to its utmost,
considering the condition of the ground
for grading.

"To the Hon. Vice President of the
United S'.ates:
Sir I herewith most respectfully
present to the Honorable Senate of the
United States an application for a pen
sion. I am the widow of a President
of the United States whose life was
sacrificed in his country's service.
Said calamity has greatly impaired my
health, and by the advice of my phy
sicians I have come over lo Germany
io try the mineral waters, and during
winter to go to Italy, but my financial
means do not permit me to take advan
tage of the urgent advice given me;
nor can I live in a style becoming the
widow of a Chief Magistrate of a
great nation. Although I live as eco
nomically as I can.
In consideration of the great service
my deeply lamented husband has ren
dered to t-he United States, and of tbe
fearful loss I have sustained by his un
timely death bis martyrdom, I may
say I respectfully submit lo yuur
honorable body this petition, hoping a
yearly pension may be granted me, so
that I may have less pt-cuniary cares.
I remain most respectfully,
