We it slated, 'pvfiWy. in &a uianv as half a dozen uowpaieis, among them the Sc. Loui? Democrat Omaha Urjnqt Itom and Lincoln Journal, that Gov.

We suppose these positive statements have arisen froru wrae incorrect information or from some malicious falsehood Gov. Butler may call an extra session to ratify the Fif t eiith Amendment as hu most cer uiiily shonl l and would if such extra :::.: n wus i'ound lici essarv t the adop tion ei that important amendment but we d'jul.t ;f tin? mv. has yet tleterminnl t d so.

Now, w did suppose our neighbors vf Omaha would be a little more just than the above, upon such an occasion. The idea conveyed in tho above is that thU road is specially an Omaha connection, and that its line only extends to Glen wood. This kind of a statement was not made through a mistake, neither through ignorance. loes unylMdy suppose an Omaha paper would allow as big a thing is the completion of this lin? of road acros.4 Iowa to pass with a notice of twelve linen if they really considered it my benefit to Omaha.
