the Democratic majority. As a democrat
he was opposed to schools.

been apportioned to Cass county out of
the public money, and that a complete
apportionment would be made as soon as
the enumeration returns were all in.
Mr. Patterson informs us that we already
have over $1,000 school money in the
treasury of this county, making over
1,000 with the present apjidrtionment
This will give our eastern rtaders some

day on complaint of Wood Inspector
Guard, charged with selling wood in vio
lation of the city ordinance regulating
the .'ale of woo 1. The prisoner was this
morning taken before J udge Child on a

An old subscriber of the Herald who
resides in Iowa writes to have his sub

at a loss without it. I esteem
it one of the most worthy in the State."
He then proceeds to ask us numerous
questions in regard to the R. R. , the
city and country (having missed sevc ral
late numbers f the paper), answers to
which he will find recorded in different
places in the lx?al columus of the IIek

but we have not got them. The writer
will accept our thanks for his words of
praise, as it is the next thing to money

He informs us that everywhere he heard
people talking of Plattsuioutb, and they
unanimously agreed that its chances for
making a great city wore ahead and
stands above any other ioint in the west.
To use his own expression, there is now
"more attention directed toward Platts

Omaha."
WHAT IH THE TKOl'BLE?
Two weeks ago to-day (Tuesday) the
necessary papers were sent to Governor
Butler to procure authority to take God
frey Fickler to the Iowa Insane Asylum,
No answer coming, Sheriff Johnson
started to Lincoln one week ago yester
day (Monday) to get the papers. Arriv
ing there he found the Go'vcrnor had left
the capital that morning, f r Wa:hing
ton. He saw the Attorney General, who
said the papers should be sent in the
next day's mail, and Sheriff Johnson
came home fully expecting to receive
them within twenty-four hours after his
arrival. That was one week ago, and no
papers have come yet, neither has any
thing further been heard from them
During all this time 5Ir. Fickler, who is
a respected citizen, is compelled to lay in
the common jail of the county, much
against the wishes of his friends. His
insanity is of that type that the Sheriff
dare not let him out of his custody, and
he has no other place in which to keep
him than the common jaiL Why is it
that Gov. Butler or those acting for him
do not either send along these papers or
refuse to do so, and not cause 5Ir. Fick
ler's friends tho-mortification of having
him left here in jail without a cause ex
cept the negligence of those whose duty
it is to attend to this matter?
'AX O'PROVOUED ASSAULT.
About dark last evening, as 5Ir. Hohl
schuh and a man who is driving team
for him were coming down 5Iain street
they met Patrick 5Iurphy, who appeared
to be on a "bit of a spree." As they
were passing each other, and without a
word being uttered by cither party, 51 ur
phy struck the man with Ilohlschuh,
knocking him down. . He then made a
dash at Ilohlschuh, who got put of his
way. 5Iurphy was gobbled by the police,
taken bef .re the Recorder and paid a
fine of $11. The only apparent reason
for the assault was the natural effect of
bad whisky.
We were pleased to meet .ir.

with aciiinl cost of transportation added.
They can get this land in time to raise a

GOOD Sr.trffZ UOOU XEWS!!
I.and for the Landlem.
The Land Commissioner of the B. &
51. R. R. Co. in Nebraska is making pre
parations for opening an ofik-e in this
city, and will have everything in readi
noss to offer the lands of the company
for pre emption on the first day of April
next. The lands will be offered on cither
long or short time, and the company
proposes furnishing houses already to put
together, brought from Chicago, for such
persons as desire to settle on their lands,
at cost prices. Sketches of these land?,
together with explanations of the meth
od adopted by the Commissioner for the
early occupation of these lands, will ap
pear in the Herald from time to time.
Papers containing these articles should
be sent broadcast to every part of the
world.
THE SCHOOL .1XOXET.
By advertisement to-day it will be seen
that School Districts Nos. 46, 50 and 59,
in this county, have failed to report to
the County Superintendent, hence they
can receive no part of the Public School
Jloney, unless they should report on or
before the 17th inst, as the returns of
the Superintendent will be sent off on
the 18th. The people of those districts
may think it a hardship to lose the
money which is their just due ; but who
is to blame ? The Superintendent has
advertised several times for reports from
all the diatrk-ts, and has given notice
that money could be obtained upon
proper reports only. It is hoped, for the
good of the rising generation, that re
ports will yet be made from the districts
named. If these repoi t3 are not made
the districts will lose their proportion of
the public money. The money is not
held over for some future time when
they do report, but is lost to them en
tirely, and apportioned among the dis
tricts reported.
THE FIRST TEX Mis ES.
Tito Work all Completed in First clnss
Order.
Twenty-five 3Iil't. mi Hour Without
While we fully understand that the B.
& 51. Company have made no especial
effort to hurry the first ten miles any
more than they will the balance of the
road to Kearney and probably not so
much yet wc do recognize the ict that
the completion of the first ten miles of
all roads now being built in the State
has been looked forward to by the peo
ple and by the Companies themselves as
an event of no mean importance, both to
the people and the companies ; to the
people in the fact that it would give them
an actual Railroad ready for the transac
tion of business, and to the companies in
tho fact that asidi from having that
amount of road built in a rich, agricul
tural country, they also get a Cii.i grant
of lands under the State law passed last
winter, provided, the sail ten miles are
completed prior to the 15th day of Feb
ruary, 1S70. For these reasons we
know the people of Southern Nebraska
all rejoice with us in the knowledge that
the B. & 51. R. R. Co. i:i Nebka
have completed, in first-class order, the
first ten miles of their road west from
this city, and we doubt not the Com
pany feels satisfaction from the cause al
leged. Of one thing the people and the
company can feel justly proud, and that
is the character of the road. Wc pass
ed over the road yesterday, fo the end
of the track, and have no hesitancy in
pronounc ng it the bet new road we
ever saw. 5Ir. 5IcEIroy gave us a
comfortable seat on his engine the
Hurricane! and we passed over
this new track, laid during the winter
while the ground was frozen, at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour, with hardly
a perceptive jar. This, we take it, is
rather an unusual tiling for a new track
laid in winter. On the first ten miles
every spike is driven and every bolt
drawn taut. The rail is of the best
American iron, 513 pounds to the bar,
put together with the celebrated "Fish
joint," over which cars pass without the
clatter incident to the old fashioned
"chair." The tics are all of the most
durable wood mostly burr oak and
there are four spikes driven in every tie.
Tho bridges, earth and stone work are of
the very best, and are so pronounced by
all judges who have examined them. At
the end of the track we found 5Ir. John
5Ianley with a force of aboutJtfifty
hands, stringing the iron out toward Ft
Kearney at a lively rate. We were
there late in the evening, and found him
just completing his mile and three-quarters
since 5Ionday morning over three
quarters of a mile a day. When 51anley
lays three-quarters of a mile or a mile of
track in a day he does not merely stretch
the iron out that distance, but he com
pletes it as he goes along, leaving it all
full spiked aud lined. 5Ir. 51anley is an
experienced track layer, having had
charge of that department on somcj of
the most important roads in the west
We understand he has taken the contract
of Iayiug all the track between here and
Lincoln, and lie assures us work will not
be suspended a single day until he
reaches Lincoln, uuless by severe storms.
The track layers arc probably on the
twelfth mile to-day. Counting side
tracks and all, there are not less than
fifteen miles of track on the B. & 51.
We take especial pride in chronicling the
completion of the first ten miles of the
B. & 51. West from Plattsmouth, in con
sequence of some little incidents which
occurred at Lincoln last winter. Three
cheers and a "tiger" for the B. & 51. R.
R. Co. in Nebraska! Their first ten
miles are completed and they are entitled
to their 50,000 acres of land from the
Slate. We hope sonic of our fi iends in
other parts of the State may do the
same thing yet before the 15th of Feb
ruary, so that we ciiu rejoice with them.

GJXT.KT INTiUCEMETVTS
Are being offered to settlers by the B. &
51. R. R. Co. in Nebraska. Their lauds
are in the very heart of the best agricul
tural region of Nebraska, n large portion
of -them in a country already well settled,
and they are to be offered on ten years'
time. Was greater inducements ever
offered to settlers in any part of the

ASHLAND" ASfD "LIXCOLX."
5Ir. Juhn Christianson, 5Iastcr Me
chanic at the R. R. Machine Shops, in
forms us that two new locomotives wil
arrive here in a short time to run west
from this city. One is called the "Ash
land" and the other the "Lincoln."
The "Ashland" left the works at 5Ian
chester last Friday, and will be crossed
over to this Bide immediately on her ar
rival. The "Lincoln" will follow in a
few days. This gives the Company five
locomotives for use in Nebraska.
SIDDEX DEATH.
A man giving his name as John Pat
terson, but generally known about town
by the name of "Happy Jack," died at
the City Hotel last night about 1 o'clock.
Patterson was first knowu to our city
reporter sometime during the last part o:
the past summer, by his frequent ap
pearance before the City Recorder, in
variably charged with drunkenness. He
worked on the railroad for a while, but
afterward quit work entirely and spent
his time when not in jail, at the various
places where intoxicating drinks " are
sold. He has been ailing for some
time past, and the doctors say he
had lung fever. The probabilities are
that whisky has been the cause of his
death. He was about town at dark last
evening, but went to bed soon after dark
saying he was sick, 5Ir. Holland, mine
host of tho City Hotel, had him properly
cared for, but he passed from time to
eternity about 1 o'clock this morning.
He has no relatives in this region of
country, and but little appears to be
known of him except as above stated.
5Ir. Holland made the necessary arrange
ments for his burial, which took place
this afternoon.
FEARFUL RUNAWAY.
Cuiitaln I'nlmrr rmt over find n fine
ISug-y litcraUy (uru to Shreds.
As Capt. II. E. Palmer was assisting
5Iiss Marshal to alight from a carriage
about noon to-day, at the residence 0
Capt J. W. 5Iarshal, the horses, either
through fright or some other unknown
cause, made a sudden start Captaiu
Falmer immediately sprang for the car
riage and endeavored to get in. He
failed in this, but held to the lines unti
he was dragged to the ground and the
buggy run over him. The horses ran to
seventh street, where the buggy struck
5Ir. Howe's stable with such force as to
scarcely leave a whole piece of either
timber or iron, but piled it up in a very
"demoralized" condition. The team and
carriage was from Buttery & Lazenby's
stable, and was one of their best rigs.
We are glad to know that Capt Palmer
escaped with no worse injury than a few
severe bruises. The horses were caught
on Sixth street, near Streight's stable,
badly frightened but otherwise uninjured.
Fortha Pl.ittsmouth Herald.
EDUCATION.
The cause of education is often pro
moted by its enemies. That narrow and
craven spirit that would bind down and
enchain the aspirations of the rising gen
eration, that would dampen their ardor,
cripple their energies, and make them
the dragrope of society, will recoil upon
its advocates and will promote the very
principle it intended to overthrow. That
dav has passed, and passed forever, in
which any tribunal shall arrogate for it
self the authority to proscribe what quan
tum of knowledge shall suffice this gen
eration, or what curriculum of studies
thev shall rursue. That terminus of
knowledge, beyond which, in the dawn
of our century, science had not penetra
ted, or art illustrated, beyoncTwhich all
was chaotic uncertainty and crude con
jecture, has long since been passed in
the foreground of modern investigation
The wants and necessities, as well as the
facilities of society, have increased, and
hence greater demands are made upon
those who now, and will be made upon
those who shall hereafter, constitute the
mind and heart of this great nation.
We are not what our fathers were: our
minds are trained in a different gymna
sium; we behold society under different
phases; our associations are formed
among a more heterogeneous humanity;
our feet would keep step to the driving
wheels an J pistons of the motors of mo
dem civilization; our ears would list to
ihemysticsymphony of a thousand wires,
while our eyes would read its telegrams
by lightning. The stamina and extent
of the education of this rreneration must
be such as the genius and emergencies of
the age demand, lo stop short or this
would be injustice, and then to expect
that at their hands they were not able to
perform; that is, great results without
adequate causes, would be madness.
Nations that look to their own best inter
cst, their self-defence, and to their nation
al greatness and glory, will hold out in
ducements to youth, and furnish them
the means cf acquiring a practical
education. Communities, aiming at the
greatest good, to the greatest number,
will lav broad and deep the foundations
of their, civil and ecclesiastical policy in
the principles of justieeand eternal truth
as manifested in tho intellectual culture
and mental discipline of its members.
But upon parents, standing as they do
upon tho dividing line that separates
all that has been from all that is to be,
wielding at their will the destinies of the
youths of Christendom, there rests a
fearful responsibility. It is the teach
ing of all time, an axiomatic principle
in the economy of human existence, a
irrevocable as the fiat of fate, that the
child is father to the man; that "as we
sow, so shall we reap;" that the noblest
inheritance which dsisolving humanity
can transmit to successors is an educated
and cultivated mind. These are conclu
sions no sophistry can elude, and no
reasoning disprove. The pitiful plea
that avarice sets up is as futile in its op
position to the march ofmiudas its pur
poses are degrading and its policy ruin
ous. Above the sphere in which sor
did avarice, unscrupulous cunning and
squalid ignorance perform their eternal
cycles, grinding and chafing along the
thoroughfares of life, above all the petty,
narrow, conceited dogmas of unlettered
humanity and unrighteous parsimony- I
tar above all these cultivated intell gence
and intellectuality will rise triumphant
anil control all beneath it and around it
as the rudder directs the ark on the
miehtv deen. Isnorance imperils not
only the interests of time, but those of
eternity. Hie parents ol the rising gen
eration are the dejositories of the hopes
or fears, the good or the evil, the glory
or the infamy of their posterity through
countless ages.
That education which does not tend to
diffuse itself through the masses is essen
tially defective, ami contains within it
self "the elements of decay. Hence, the
wisdom of Egypt sleeps with her nobles,
whilst the record of her oppression lives
in her monuments ; the social condition
of a nation chancres as the interests of ed
ucation arc advanced. Without this
corresponding change wc would become
as the Orientalsj whose religion, like the
primitive chaos, is without form and void,
and whose history, like eternity, is with
out chronology. The heads, the hearts
and the hands of this generation should
be harmoniously and completely educated ;
equip them with intelligence, virtue and
skill; infuse into their minds a deterniin
edpurposc,an invincible resolutionjand un
dvinsr hone: then le: them co forth to do
battle manfully in the fierce conflict cf
life. I hen will they run and not be
weary;" they "shall walk and not faint;"
then will they leave their impress un
stamped upon their day and generation.
and their foot prints on the sands cf
time.
"Footprints tht prrhaps another.
Sailing o'er life's ragged main,
A forlorn and life-wrecked brother
Seeing may take hope again."

WEEPING WATER LETTEE.
Ineident and Aeeldnt A Rnral
Seolptor The New Yeartnnnd
tbe Old Year ont-tiraded
Morality, etc.
Editor Herald : Universal quiet
prevails in the city of Weeping Water
since the holidays At about that time
we had an unusual number of startling
incidents. Commencing with young
Burnham, who set up as sculptor, select
ing as his first model his "paternal dad"
whom he "carved" and "chiseled" with
such success that said model has been
indeed a "lay figure" ever since. Im
mediately thereafter the young artist
moved his studies to parts unknown, with
out deiguing any information as to
whether it was his intention to pursue
his profession of high art abroad or not.
The burning of the dwelling of 5Ir.
Cook is a calamity which coming at this
period of high winds should remind all
persons of the necessity of takiug every
precaution against the recurrence of
similar accidents.
Two of our jolly burghers not wishing
to be penurious, thought to celebrate the
advent of the New Year by putting
themselves outside of enough "benzine"
to make them oblivious to the pains of
the past and indifferent to the trials of
the future. Unfortunately for their
plans, when they, had reached that
point, when they were far from be
ing sober and yet not by any means as
drunk as they wished to be, our magis
trate 'Squire Jenks (not the Captain)
and another citizen, came down on them
"like the wolf on the fold" and confisca
ted their "refreshments," leaving'thetu
in their own estimation, two badly used
individuals. Thus their enjoyment of
the "day we celebrate" came to an in
tlorious and untimely end. it seems
that persons may drink to the exact
amount of one bottle here, without im
pairing in the least their moral or relig
ious standing, but wo to the unlucky
wight who goes beyond this to the
amount of two or three bottles.
This graded morality is a convenient ami
wholesome thing, whose excellence is
plainly perceptible no doubt to those who
first made and now observe it ; but such
it by no means is held to be by
Giles.
