Of this State, has received the appoint

appointed Messrs. J. M. Chalfaat,

: CUBA. .! ;
Dispatches of the 17th say there is a
probability that an extra session of
Congress will be called, soon for the
purpose of considering the annexation
of Cuba to the United States. It is al
so stated that formidable . expeditions
are being organized at New York and
New' Orleans, to proceed to Cuba. .
The vote in the United States Sen
ate upon the "Alabama" treaty stood
63 for. rejection to 1 (McGreery)
gainst. Nearly all the Senators con
curred heartily in Mr. Sumners po
sition, that a treaty upon this subject
should rise to the full dignity and ira
portance ef the International questions
involved, and that the nation, with due
regard to its own honor, could not can
eider , the matter . upon any, lower
grounds.
Dr. E. U. Traor, graduate of .tbe
New York Hygienic Medical College,
commenced a course of lectures last
evening at the Court House in this city,
on the subject of Phrenology, Physiol
ogy and Health. This subject .is an
Id one, but like many other old thing?,
far more preferable than some of the
new ones. Every person, and espe
cially every parent, should o and
hear the Dr. He will commence this
afternoon, course of private lectures
for the ladies, in explanation, of '.the
principles of Physiology and Hygiene.

Has been appointed by the County
Commissioners as County Superintend

cancy existing in that office. Mr.
Patterson has been acting in .' the ca
pacity of School Examiner for some
time, and has had charge of the higher
olasses in the public school of this city
for the past six : months. We doubt
not he will fill the office with credit to
himself and profit to the educational in

Dear Sir. Please say to the publio
that I shall start from Plattsmouth,
Cass county, Nebraska, without fail,
on the 10th ef May, with the Republi
can colony, which is to locate enn the
Republican Valley, in southwest Ne
braska. All those that are desirous of
joiniag must be on hand by the 1st of
May. Those coming with teams, will
find a good steam ferry on : the Mis
souri river at this point, which has just
arrived here. Also a wire ferry on
the Platte river near Laramie Mills.
This extension of time will give all
those that are not ready, a chance to

Sen ator Sprague is described by
himself as "no orator." A corres
pondent says he speaks "with hands in
his pantaloons pockets, with his arms
akimbo, or his hands clasped under
his coat tails; also, that he turns his
back upon the Vice President and
talks to the galleries, while twisting,
and jerking, and pounding his empty

JAIL. REPORT.
To the Honorable District Court
of Nebraska: We the Grand Jurors
within and for Cass Co., State of Ne
braska April term .of District Court,
1869. Having visited the Jail ef said
Co., on the. 14ih day of April; inst.,
respectfully report that we , find the
same, in our opinion, is neither safe
nor comfortable. 1st. from the fact that
the walls of said Jail are in a dilap
idated condition, and!'" would not be
proof against the effort of a criminal
or criminals to escape. - 2d. The ceil
ing of said Jail is so low and tbe
means of ventilation so poor as to ren
der it during the summer months tin
healthy as well as uncomfortable. We
would further report that - we have
carefully examined the room and cells
of said jail, and find tbe same ' to be
kept in as good a condition as is pos
sible under the existing circumstances;
and we would further state that we
find upon inquiry . that the prisoners
are well supplied with food and other
things necessary for their comfort,
and that they are treated by the offi
cer in charge in a. kind and humane
manner. We would further ' report
that we find it to be a requirement of
Revised Statutes, that the Judges of
each judicial district, "Shall prescribe
in writing rules for the regulation and
government of the jails in the several
counties within their respective dis
tricts, and that Grand Jurors shall re
port whether the time have been ob
served. By inquiry we find that, the
Sheriff has . received no such rules,
consequently have no special report to
make in reference to the same.
.' All of which is respectfully submited

Editor Herald: It is not, per
haps, as generally known to your read
ers, as it should be, that there resides
in this country in this very communi
ty a man, a public benefactor, whose
gratuitous benefactions have not Called
forth that meed of praise and gratitude
that - so naturally belongs to the good
and great, because communities, like
nations and individuals, are ungrate
ful. This man's gifts always come to
us through .the medium of the Omaha
Herald, in the shape of slanders, villi
fications and defamations of, not only
Churches ;snd ' Sabbath Schools, and
those who are consistent members of,
and laborers in these institution? ; but
he vents his. spleen at any citizen who
does not choose to take off his hat and
bend his knee at the presence of His
Greatness. ...That an interested public
may know to whom, they are indebted
for the light reflected on them, and the
rest of the .world, through' the Omaha
Herald, and to whom, alsj, they should
at once acknowledge their allegiance,
or come under I proceed, now, to give
a short, and hence, imperfect descrip
tion of this man
He enjoys the felicity of a residence
in Flattsmoutb, where he is known, but
to be honored 'and beloved. He is a
man abuut my heighth, more or less,
but weighs more than I do about two
per cent, a month. He occupies an of
fice on Main street in 'which may be
found a square table, surrounded by
four chairs, one" of which he honors,
and in which he . may . generally, be
found when not elsewhere. He is,
perhaps, remarkably fond of friends.
and delights te hare three at his table.
passing the soeial hours with him.while
he entertains them by reading from
an old book which he constanly keeps
in his library," one that he prizes very
highly, called the History of "the Four
Kings. ;YThen not thus engaged, he
mayj be seen, staff in hand, pacing
backwards and forth, with eyes bent to
the sidewalk, as if in search of two
per cent.. a month, or meditating an
attack, through the press, on some re
ligious society, Sabbath school, or, per
haps, some poor, defenceless soul, who
has the misfortune to be of African
extraction, or, perhaps, cogitating in
bis mind who will be the next victim of
too per cent, a month. . I venture tbe
assertion, without being. able te prove
it, however, that if you will . bare .his
breast .you will find written over the re
gion of his heart too per cent, a month.
He is found on the negative of every
proposition for the public good. He is
one of the literati, as tbe world .has
already learned; and lest the' gener
ations yet unborn, should be left in ut
er ignorance of the great men that now
live, and of their literary productions
I propose to save, with jealous care
th issues of his pen, far future publi
cation, and to this end, I make a pub
lic offer of Jive cents, to' any person
who will furnish me copies of his
writings prior te 1865, of which I am
unfortunately not possessed.
Mr. Editor, I have endeavored to
give your readers a short description
of the man who sets himself up as a
public critic, who anathematizes every
one who does not come down to bis
standard ef morals. . -'
I write this, Mr. Editor, ' through a
sense of duty, in defense, of. a person
er two,' whom this gentleman (?) at
tempts to bring before the world in - an
unfavorable light, through the Omaha
Herald, by way of innuendoes.
As occasion offers, I will avail my
self of the'privilege of giving your rea
ders a few more facts not yet generally
known by the fublic.
. For his next outburst, see the Oma
ha. Herald next week, over the signa
ture of Jchius. ..

Ed. Iebraskian, Dr ar Sir: I have
been solicited by quite a number of
friends, some of whom are readers of
your paper, to give my experience ii
the use of "Abbot's Antidote" for To
bacco, it being known to the communi
ty, to some extent, that I had quit te
bacco, entirely, and was uinr the an
tidote. Now 1 will Mate first that I am
on old sinner iu ibis business, having
used the ulihy stun for nearly forty
Tears. '
1 was put to it by a man who called
himself a Physician, for a species of
indigestion, er dyspepsia, growing out
ot a, deficiency of the biliary secretion
of the liver, and want of tone in the
digestive ergons. It look me a whole
year to learn to phew it, but -I pere
vered and finally was rewarded (?) by
acsuiriDg an appetite for it that has
baffled ray best efforts to. get rid of
until now. I will say, also, that
have made, at diferent times, attempts
tc quit it but always failed; the last,
until now, waa in 1855, when I laid it
by for six weeks, at the end of which
time, I had almost irregular delirium
tremens.
i was so aetsrmir.ed on quitting it,
that 1 suriered myself to get down bed
fast before I would give it up, and
then 1 resumed its use, more at the
urgent solicitation of friends than of
ray own choice. Fer the. past year I
have seen in the papers an advertise
ment of an antidote; I concluded
. - .
wouiu iry it, sent xor it, and used it,
commencing on the first day of Janua
ry last, and have continued faithful un
til the present time. And I can say
now of a truth, that my nerves are
steadier than tbey have been for the
past twenty years, my appetite for food
is good, my digestion is better than it
has been since I have lived in this
country l nave gained full twenty
pounds in weight, and on the 'whole I
would not go back to tbe use of tobac
co again, (and know nothing of this
antidote,) for one thousand dollars.
Thank God I, am emancipated free
from one of the most filthy, di-gusting
uncalled for and useless habits that
man ever indulged in, and if aav one,
after reading this' letter, is induced
thereby to abandon tbe filthy vice I
will be amply repaid for penning it.
But the most important part of this
communication is yet to be made; the
question is, does this antidote destroy
the appetite for tobacco 1 I emphatic
aly answer (that according to my ex
perience,) NO. I craved it. for, two
months, as much as I did for the first
week and I still crave it, nowcoin"oa
four months since I quit it. ' The only
good the antidote does is to let down
the nervous system and this is beyond
computation. It will do xt surely,
gently and effectually: follow the di
rections and you are as certain to suc
ceed as yeu try; you - may make up
your mind to suffer, but if you hold out
faithful you will be fully rewarded
And now in order that my friends, and
any who may wish. to embark in , this
great reform, may not be imposed en.
1 wish to. make it publio wbatihis great
Antidote is; it is nothing more, nor less.
than coarsely powdered Gentian Root.
There is a small sprinkling of cam
omile flowers put in merely for a blind,
but they do not amount te . anything.
This Gentian Root can be bought at
the Drug Store at from 40 to 60 cents
per pound, and if you send to the pro
prietors ol this aoiidete, or buy it of
their agents, you pay. fifty eents for '
les than nn ounce. This is an impo
sition that I am not willing my friens
should bear, thereon I publish this if
any person is not disposed to believe
this statement they have only to pro
cure a box of the genuine, and use it
for one day, then take the Gentian
and use it for one day, and if they are
not convinced I will not contend with
them. ' . " v 1 '.'

Nebraska Appointment
We have given' full expression to
our satisfaction at the appointment of
Col. R. R. Livingston . as Surveyor
General of Nebraska. We have now
the same satisfaction in speaking of the
only other appointments yet mad for
Nebraska, viz: the Hon. Thomas J.
Majors, as United States Assessor for
the State, and Jacob Scott, Esq., as
Receiver of tbe Land Office at Dakota
City. , i
Both these gentlemen are well
known and thorouefh-going Republi
cans, who have never faltered or cast
one look aside in the many struggles
which the Republican party has had
with open and secret foes, but under
all circumstances have helped it te
battle the traitors in the executive
chair and balls of legislation of lb
nation as well as the traitors in arms.
Mr. Major 8 served his country in
tbe tented field and has served the
people of his State in their legislative
halls. In both his military and civil
services be acted with acceptability
and done credit for himself. He is a
gentleman of wide . information , and
general experience, which with his
capacity and activity, .' will makis him
an efficient officer.,
Mr. Scott is known as one of tbe
old reliables speaking in the political
as as well as other senses of Dakota
county. He occupies a high position
in the esteem of his fellow-citizens and
political associates. His intimate ac
quaintance with Northern Nebraska is
peculiarly calculated to make him a
capable officer in the position to which
be has been assigned in the land of
fice of that land district.
lhe character or these, nominations
is such as merits the approbation of al
Republicans. The patriotic and polit
icai services and fidelity of t.ae ap
pointees are unquestioned, and are ap
preciated by the people. An acknowl
edgement of them in appointment to
place by a patriotic and Republican
administration is appropriate, and wu
be thoroughly commended. liepulli
can.
A tew montba g Kansas was mis
represented and disgraced on the im
peaenment trial oy one ot her oena
tors. At that time the voice of con
demnation was unsparing, while the
blush of shame mantled the cheeks cf
every Kansan' whose heart throbbed
for the welfare of his country. ' The
Senator ' who th'js made his disgrace
our disgrace, it was thought, would
at least have spared us tbe pain of any
further display of his vicious disposi
lion. But it appears these hopes were
void. The curse clings to 'ur still.
Our punishment for the selection of
this man in the manner in which it was
accomplished was not yet completed
his crime has not been fully expiated
At least once more were we to be madi
painfully aware of the fact that! this' in
cubus was yet fastened upon us. It
appears that day before yesterday Sen
ator Ross, forgetting his own dignity
as Senator, the dignity of the State he
represents, sua the dignity of the Chie
Officer of our Government, in a semi
official conversation with the Presi
dent at the White House, used such
language as would be more fitting for
the bawdy house or prize ring thaD
that place and that occasion.- The
President suffers nothing by this act,
but the Senate, of which Mr. Ross is a
member, and Kansas, the State h
represents, or rather misrepresents
cannot but feel deeply disgraced by
such conduct.; If there , is one spark
of honorable feeling yet alive in the
Senator s breast, he will relieve the
place he occupies and the people he
misrepresents of any further disgrace,
oy at once resigning his position. We
hare drained this cup to to drees, and
sincerely hope that it may pass away

The Commissioners of Richardson

practicable through Rulo and' Arago.

in ene year. Then when one mile of
road is graded the County gives the
Company $1,500 in bonds, and when
the ties are scattered along the traek
of said grade, the County furnishes
said Company another $1,500,' and
when the road is completed : for the
rolling stock the County furnishes to
said Company the further sum of $1000
and so continue to furnish bonds for
every mils of road so constructed in
the County, in like sums, until .they
exhauat the whole $2-50.000. The
bonds are to run twenty years and
not longer than thirty years, and bear
eight per cent, interest. No bonds to
be issued to any Company hat does
not commence their work within one
year, and no bonds te be issued after
the expiration of five years. A tax is
to fee levied for the first twenty years
to pay the interest only, and a tax suf
ficient to pay one-tenth of tbe principal
annually thereafter. Advertiser.
