The Plattsmouth Ihrahl dissents from i.tiniews cf the jiropcwl new legisla tion for the JJurlington railroad, and nates a long artrutiient in opposition to that portion of them which LmI u to ak our Congressional Jeprcentativos to rj j.ojo Mr. Palmer's bill to enable the Bur lington to change the route if it was iu f tiled to give thorn additional slit' of the public lands. That, pai-er TlauMbly favors anythinir the company may ak in the wav of land HtWidie, on the broad ground" that those foreign railroad t.nr-I-orations by furnishing capital for the advertir-ttaent and development of out law State are a great blessing to u. This is the argument s:raint our propo rtion that any future lan 1 grants to rail-ioad-, either under cover of the pending Iturliiiiftou bill or otherwise, if made at rjl," fdiould 1-e n.ade to our home corpo-M'ion--. . We ! not care to arsuc this que-tion. Content to uieri'ly state our tuition, we a; that any further land tubsidies to lor;rn railroad corporations under cover f f Mr. Palmer's bill to -change the nmie vf the Burlington, or otherwise, ought to bo. and we trut. will be earnestly and i ffectively oposed by the Nebraska dele gation in Congress. It is a mi-take to HUppo-e that, in liolJinff these views, we arc actuated by the hl'iKhte.-t hostility to the Burlington ra lroud. or that we object to any route which that company may deem it to their intercut to adi.pt lor its Nebraska rxunsion. On the contrary that line l.ai our best wishes, and our r-ppohition to unv new Irgi.-latioii for its benefit by Congress is confined to the milter of its receiving any more land grant. than were Kipulated in the contract contained in the law of 1G4, under which it is now Vuiid'.ng into this State. Omaha llerahl. The Ilcnill either niistakc3 or pur-l-osely mi -represents our position in re gard to the Burlington Railroad land rant It says we "plausibly favor any thing the Company may ask in the way of land fub.-idies," etc Our article done nothing of the kind, but simply argued that it was more I eneficial to Nebraska 1 1 hac these grants pass into the hands of ni'jh companies as the Ii. & M. than to have them given to home organiza tions that had not the means to build r.aiK and cave as the rca-on that it was ratlroa Is the people wanted, rcgard!e.-s of who made money out of thcin. Our eotcuiporary, teeing the weakness of his josition, tries to crawl out by assuming that he opposed the granting of any more land, while the truth is that he did not j.po.- th? granting of lands for railroad purposes, but wanted some "home cor porations." to get the lands, regardless f whether the roads would be built or not. In order to show the fallacy of the above article from the Omaha Herald, we wii! j'iote another sentence froi i its former article : "The change is probably called for on other erounds. . Their bind grant is oc rupied by Union Pacific territory. Here is the rub."' We give the above exactly as the Ib.r aid gave it, italics and all. Now does that look like the II -raid was "actuated by the slightest hostility" to the I, k M. Company? If "their land grant is M-curicl by Union Pacific territory." does it look like ir ''hostility'' to them to oppose their getting their land grant ? The Ucndd appear- perfectly wiiting that the Union l'aciiie should occupy the land grant of the X. k M. Company, but op poses giving the H. &. M. Co. any lemcdy. Has the editor of the II m 'd evjr read mil carefully digested the law under v.hich the Union Pa.-ilie Company oecu 'v the lan 1 grant ofthelJ. it M. Co., ;ts it terms it? Is there not ju-t the least bit f Union Pacific land in the op-po-itin of the II raid to Mr. Palmer's bill ? DOWN ; THE I'ltlCF.S or UOODK. T'p me the I'rieo of Protluee. The It. & M. 11. Pi. is in i pvrati.m be '"swen this city anl Chicago, and d tiiy rain wiil run from this day hencef rth. Th-. days of wagoning are over, and con roquently the delays and expense of that mole are done away with. The prices of all good brought to this city for sale imist go down in proportion to the dif fi ronc in price of transportation, and the prices paid for produce in this city must increase in the same ratio. The farmer will receive the benefit of the change on what he con-unies as well a on what he produces. Plattsmouth is the phfe to come fir your goods, and . Plattsmouth is the place to hrinir your produce for sale. From this day hence forward Plattsmouth is the great com mercial mart of Nebraska. We are in formed by shippers here that the ship ping rates between this city and Chicago have been reduced netrrly one-fourth in onsequence of the ojeiiiiig of the T. & M. II. II. This difference goes directly into the pockets of the producers o:i all x ports, and into the pockets of the con waiers on all imports. An OutragrouR Pleee of Cheek. Parties from Nebraska City have been in IJrownville this week, trj'ing to secure tubscriptions to a hook setting forth the advantages of Southern Nebraska. To this we have no objection.

Only ton railroads "radiate from this grand railroad centre" which has never yet seen a pound of railroad iron. A more im biushine falsehood than the pretensions cf this map never exi-ted.

A CmiI 71 it. ii Deail t A Sent ol' Bobhcra Brokra Cp t Iast Tliursday nii'ht Mr. Jej Wil kerson was assaulted in Cuuiming's sa loon in Hamburg and received injuries which caused his death on Sunday fjl ing : Isaac Cuininings, A. Dempster, Wni. Murray and S. Beaston, were arrested on the charge of murder. The exami ;a tion tok place Sunday night, before .Justice Hood, and the following are the facts in the case as shown k" th : evi dence: An arrangement was made between Murray. Cuinmings and 1'euipster. to get Wilkerson intxicated and then eoui el him to sign a contract to sell them a number of hogs which he had already sold to another party. They succeeded in getting him under the influence of liquor but could not induce him to sign the contract. Dempster then approached him after failing repeatedly to induce him to take money, offered a bystander five dollars to place a sum of money in Jesse's pocket, evidently intending to make this an evidence that he had sold his hiL's. and so collect damag-.'j fr:n hi:n if he failed io deliver theiu. This plan failing, they drew Mr. Wilkerson into a quarrel, in the course (' which, the bar-keeper, Mr. Jieaston. : truck him in the face. Dempster then clinched him and they fell upon the floor. Demp ster then arose, raised Jessee to his feet, and .-ad. "I don't want to hurt you." ! Cummings rushed around the bar saying "I d'," and struck him in the face. ! knocking him d jwn. and then kicked him in the face and side, bruising his i head and side badiv. and cu'Mng his cheek to the bone. The Marshal then arrested Mr. Wilker ; : I took him before the M:yor who lined him S.o'i. Mr. Wilkerson was taken home and lin gered in a delirious state until Sunday morning when be died. The examina tion of Cunnuirnrs took place Sunday evening. He plead not guilty, but was held to the charge of murder. Demp ster and Houston waived an examination and were held to answer the same charge. Murray was acquitted, the evidence showing that he was not engaged in the assault, although probably one of the conspirators in the swindle. There was great excitement during the trial, ami many proposed taking the men from the officers and hanging them to the nearest tree, but fortunately, a bet ter spirit prevailed, and the law was per mitted to take it;, course. Murray has leen notified to leave town within twenty four hours, and will probably consult his own interest if he takes his paramour and travels. A -good man is dead and a net of rob bers broken up. Hamburg Times. Prepare fur tlie tnni TaUer. Next year wiil occur the great decen nial census of the United Stales made by the General Government. Persons will be appointed for every locality in the States and townships to gather statistics vt' the inhabitants and of all the agricul tural productions, manufactures, &c Each cultivator will le asked for a con cise, accurate statement of lan I occupied by him, the number of acres, and the amount of each crop rai-ed during the year, ending June 30, IsTO. Th se who were called on before will doubt'e s re member the difficulty in making up an accurate report of the crops. As the e will be called for in June, it will le nec essary to give in the crops githe ed this fall, and the sugge-tion that we would now make is. that cultivators w. ite down. while fresh in their minds, the numberof acres of each kind, the amount per acre, and the gro-s amount.

Mr. lJeecher replied at con siderable length, setting forth the state ments already published as t tl repre sentations ma iw to him concerning the legality of the cause of I he divorce which had been obtained by Mrs. McKarland, and added that had he known that llich ardson had acted as a serpent, and stolen away the affections of the partner for life of McFarland. he would rather have cut olF his riglit hand a hundred times than have performed the ceremony. He was not sure that he had done right, or that he would do the saiin- thing aga n. Whether the dead languages oirjht to form a portion of the education of girls is a question that has often been dis cuss;. 1, without resulting in any satisfac tory conclusion.

The Beatrice Clarion says: ''Almost everyone now living in thiscpuntry enter tained the impression before they came, that there was little or no timber here. I'ven the Eastern papers harped ujon this considerably, under the patronage of capitalists who were trying to gobble up the most desirable lands. But people would come and still continue to come. We were told by a gentleman the other day,, that very near one thousand cords of wood were being cut within easy haul ing distance .of Beatrice within h:s knowledge and that he hadn't been about verv much either.

Senator Morton expresses the opinion that Congress wiil reduce the tariff on sugar, tea, coffee, salt, and all articles the tax upon which falls most heavily. The Ecumenical Council has adjourned until Epiphany. Much opposition is ex pected on the reassembling of that body, but the Pope is said to be sure of the co-operation of the American Bishops. A witness in a Bichmond, Va. , court last week told the judge to "hush his mouth, as he couldn't talk to two men at once." He had an opportunity to reflect upon his rudeness in jail. A lady wa recommending a gentleman a medicine for the gout. 4"I know many who praise it to the skies," said she. "No doubt, madam," he replied, "for it has sent many to the skies to praise it." An exchange very truly says: "You might as well attempt to shampoo the head of an elephant with a thimble full of soap-suds as attempt to do business ami ignore printer's ink." Mrs. Partington was reproving Iko for his indulging in or consumption of green apples: "Isaac," said the worthy dame, "you eat more green apples than there is any necessary for. It is probable that three of those who were nominated by the President for the new United States circuit Judgeship , will be rejected by the Senate, namely, Yeaman, of Kentucky ; IVarre, of Ma ryland, and McKennan, of Pennsylvania. An old criminal was once asked what was the first step that led to his ruin, and he answered : 'The first was cheat ing a printer out of two years' -subscription. When I had done that, the devil got such a grip on me that I could never afterward shake him off." Five of the sweetest words in the Eng lish language begin with II, which is only a breath Heart, Hope, Home, Happiness and Heaven. Heart is a hope-place, and home is a heart-place, and that man sadly mistaketh. who would exchange the happiness of home for anything less than heaven. A scholar out West, during his pars ing exercise, came to the word "with," which he boldly declared to be "a noun." "You have never seen it used as such." replied the teacher. "But I have, though," confidently retorted the young hopeful. "Where?" "Doesn't the Bible say: 'Bind me with seven triths, and I shall be as another man?" The teacher was vanquished.

Bidders are cautioned to mail their propo sals iu time to reach the Department by the day an, hour named. (3 p. in., March 30. 1S70.) for bids received after that time will mt be ronxid ered in competition with a bill of reasonable amount received in time.

A modification ofa bid in any of its essential terms is tantamount to a new bid. and cannot te received, so as to interfere with regular compe tition. Making a new bid. with guarantee nnd certificate, is the only way to modify a previous bi'i. 21. r.?tmasters r.rc t he careful not to certify thr sufficiency of guarantors, or sureties, with onr knowing that they arc persons of bulfieierit responsibility; a din-rgiird f thi iimtnirtitm ly pnntmn'term in a riolution uf their oath of orice, enljertinij th.rm to immediate rcmornt.
