Omaha has dpcii stirred to her very ii limitations recently, over the question of hutMinir a railroad down to Laramcr Mills, opposite this City on the Platte, to connect with the 1$. & M. We have watched every movement carefully, for we feel a dee p interest in the building of this lime, for the reason that it will event ually prove a first class feeder to the li. Si M. when it becomes the great through line, as it must the moment it strikes the I'lrijtr Rutin fill proper, at the UK) Me ridian. Wc hope to see this South-western line built speedily, and we are glad to know that tne prospect looks favora ble. We do not view the building of this line as a move hostile to I'lattsmoiith in terests, as Mime do; but on the contrary, we b'-lieve it will result ilirectljf to the interest f Plattsmouth. Instead of tak iti' trade off the B. & M. line before reaching this city, it will bring trade to the 15. & M- Line coming to this city ; and why? It cannot take trade from the .south side of Platte river to Omaha for 'the simple reason that it is further from Omaha to Chicago than it is from Platts mouth to Chicago; and it will bring trade from the north side of Platte liiver to this city for the same reason that it will be nearer and cheaper to reach Chi cago and the cast ria Plattsmouth and the 15. Si M. than via Omaha and her connection". Do you "see it?" We way, then, speed the day when the south-western line shall be built from Omaha to a connection with the Ii. Si M., thus giving Plattsmouth another railroad without the cost of a single dol lar. This line is of great importance to Omaha, and has not Ikvii overrated by her business men, because it will give them a shorter and better route to Chi cago via Plattsmouth and the B Si M. than they can get in any other way. We are also interested in Plattsmouth in hav ing a road sent out to the north-west frnju Omaha. It will, by means of the connection with the B. M., throw us in direct communication with all north- j crn and north-western Nebraska. We admit that without the road reaching Omaha from Larimer Mills the north western road would be a disadvantage to Plattsmouth. becau.se it would bea fee br to Omaha and her Iowa roads ; but with the iiiiituvtion completed rVt Bellevue and Larimer Mills to Piattsmouth, we arenterested in the building of the north-western line. As an evidence that oar idea of this railroad matter is cor- r-et. la-t examine a map oi uit; nnimo, an I von will see that the shortest line of; i road Omaha could have to hwago is via Piatt: ii. onth i lid the B. iV M.

Bichardson is us familiar in the west as household words, aul many a heart will feel sad ' over the news of his death by assassin:.- i t- -i 1. 1.. Th.,rs tion. He expired at .ioc!o.-klat I hurs- , day morning, having lingered from the J4th alt. He wa-. shot without warning, m l ig room, by a in the initiate counting mom. , i m i' i l . .1 drunken lawyer named Md-arland, who had attempted on a former occasion to j take his life in the same cowardly man-j iter. The excuse offered bv McFarlan l j was that Bichardson had alienated the ir i ct l- i v .. r ! affections ot his (Mcl arland s) ife j From all the facts given to the public, ! the most important of which were pub- lished at tho cinw of the former shoot- j ing of Bichardson by McFarland, it aj pcars that Mcl'arland was a dissipated, tyrannical husband, who was not deserv ing the love of a iy woman; and it is not strange that his wife, who is a bril liant woman, soon dost all respect for him on account of his conduct. Rich ardson had made her acquaintance 'through her relatives, and was walking with her on the street at the time Mc Farlanl first .-hot him. He was not se riously hurt, and on account of the lady the matter was kept as quietly as possi ble. About this time 3 Irs. MeFarland left her husband, and Mr. Bichardson publicly proclaimed that he should marry her as soon as she could procure a di vorce. This divorce she m-ently procure-! in Indiana, where she had lived for some time, ard it was upon the re ceipt of this news, as MeFarland alleges, that he became frenzied and shot Rich ardson f ir the second time. Mrs. Me Farland and her mother waited upon Mr. Richardson during his last hours, and before his death the marriage ceremony was performed, making Mrs. MeFarland i 'xis wife. There has never been anything J.wpt MeFarland's bare asscrtiou to ,-i.'.T that Richardson ever done any thiox alienate the affections of his wife, .aa-l there is little doubt that his own Lrutal conduct was the sole cause of her leaTing him.

I earnestly desire that neither you nor I may Iks con demned by a free and enlightened con stituency, nor by our own conscience. Emerging from "a rebellion of gigantic magnitude, aided as it was by the sym pathy and assistance of nations with which we were at peace, eleven States of the Union were, four years ago left with out legal State governments ; a war debt had been contracted American com merce was almost driven from the seas the industry of one half of the country had been taken from the control of the capitalists and placed where all labor rightfully belongs in the keeping of labor the work of restoring State Govern ments, loval to the union, of protecting and fostering free labor, and providing means fur. paying the interest on the pub lic debt, have received ample attention from Congress.

Congress, by joint resolution, authorized the Executive to order elect i ms in the States of Virginia. Mississippi nnd Texas, to submit constitutions which each had previously in convention framed either uutire or" in separate parts, to be voted noon at the discretion of the Executive. Under this authority an election was called in Virginia. That election pink place on the f.th of duiy. t). The Govern ir and Lieutenant Governor elec ted, have licen installed. The legisla ture met and did all required by til reso lution, and by all the reconstruction acts of Congress, an 1 abstained from all doubtful authority. I recommend that her Senators and Representatives, and that the State be fully restored M its place in the family of States. Elections were called iu Mississippi and Texas, to commence on the :!0th of November, ist.o. and to last two days in Mississippi, and four davs iu Texas. The elections have taken place, but the result is not known. It is to be hoped that the acts of the legislatures of these Mates when I...,. ,....o' vill be such as to n-ceive ! vour approbation, and thus close the I work of construction.

Year bv year the ability to pay increases in a rapid ratio, but the burden of interest ought to be reduced as rapidly as can be done, with out the violation of contract. The pub lie debt is represented, in great part, by bonds, having from five to twenty and from ten to forty years to run, lieai ing interest at the rate of ix per cent, and five percent, respectively.

Relieving tliat a convention thus uncon eeived in its scope and inadequate in its provisions would not have produced the hearty and cordial settlement of the j tend ing questions which alone is consistent with the relations which I desire to es tablish lietween the United States and Great Uritain. I regarded the action of the Senate in rejecting the treaty to have been taon in the interest of peace-, and a step in the direction of peri'tx-t and cardial friendship between the two countries. A sen.-ative people-, conscious of their pwer are more at ease under a great wrong una toned, than under the restraint of a scttlcnieut which sati.-lies neither their ideas of justice, nor their grave sense of grievances thev have sus- ltJiine(L The' rejection' of the treaty was lollowcii by a state or leeling on tioth sides which I though not favorable to an imuiediite sittempt at renewed negotia tion, an 1 1 accor linirlv so instructed the Minister of the United States totiieat Britain, aiid f.iiiii I that iuy views iu this rcg.-rrd were' shared by' bar' M.ajT!.stys .Minister. I hoe that the time may soon arrive when the t wo governments can approach tine solution of this moiuetitoiH question with an assurance of what is due to the rights, dignity an i honor .of each, and with the determination not only to re move tho cause of complaint in the past, but to lay the foundation of a broad prin ciple of public law which will prevent fu ture differences, and tend to firm and continued peace and friendship. This is now the only grave question which the United States have with any ihrcig-i na tion. The question of a treaty for wmi profit y hete ii the United State and the Brit ish Provinces on this continent, has not lieci favorably c m-i Icrc 1 by tne a imin- j istration. The . advantage of su.-h i j treaty would be wholly in favor of th: British produver. except po.-sibiv a few '.engaged in the trade bet wn-t ho two I sections.
