This is the only line running dining cars ; and it is getting a large share of the travel. Hon. A. J.

A a large numbtr of costly buildings will be erected ia Plattsniouth during the present season, we euggest that some rftard for architectural beauty be main tained a well as to look afur the dura bility and convenience of the buildings. ' Thos. K- Hanna, one of PlattsmoutVs earlier and most energetic citizens, arrived in the city last week, on a ehort visit. Mr. nanua is engaged in the wholesale dry goods busines. in Kansas City, Missouri. The ice had not broken loose at Omaha Saturday evening, neither was it strong enough for crossing. Tho temporary bridge Lad been taken up, and crossing the river was a difficult and dangerous matter. Ex-Governor Akin Saunders has been elected President of tho big Hotel com pany at Omaha. Gen. Saanlers is a Fonnd financial man, has done much to build up Omaha, and his selection as President of the company'is but a just tribute to his work. . The; "initial point" of the U. P. R. R. is a matter of oine concern to the Omaha and Council Bluffs papers. The last heard of the "point" it was supposed to be somewhere near the centre of the Missouri liver. Tbe "point" has been harrastwdHlsoX much that it was com pelled to "take water." There is a query in our midst. If the Pennsylvania Central Com j any were building the "Midland" road, and the Midland has "busted," does that "bust" the Pennsylvania Central? We look for an explanation from "F. A. White, Esq, President,", etc., or from Hon. J. B. Bennett, Vice-President. Now that "F. A. White's" vest pocket is filled with Otoe county bonds, and he can no longer use it to carry Rail road iron in, and consequently his com pany has collapsed. We suggest to the people of south-west Nebraska that they cannot do better than to turn their attention toward the "old reliable" the B. & M. which, by the way, is the only road they ever had a reasonable presjicct of getting. Several gentlemen were congregated in a cortiin office in this city one day dur ing the recent storm, when the subject of equinoctial storms came up for discussion. One of the number asked another what tins equinoctial line was, an 1 why we al way had a storm when the sun crossed it. The party to whom the que-tion was a 1 !reed thought ftr some minute, and t!it - - ! remarked, in slow, liKiastirel tones, I lhat .th0 ',1 line for ,Va!,rj ! trns nti Hnatrinary lino JrATin around the , ; earth." Tin: ipieMioncr remarked that ' the 'explanation was perfect!; sntixf-ic- torn" but that l:e 'li'lr.t understand! why the son crosing an imaginary line should cause such a stortn." The notorious "rough,"; Tim Kellcy,' whom we me ntioned a few days 'since as having been badly puuureled over the river, came back to the city a few days after in order to be on hand on the l"th (payday on the It. II.) lie had his head bandaged, but was on hand for '"business. " Marshal Murplry notified him that ho- inu.it immediately h:ave town,' or lie houM arrest him on a charrre of robbery. He left. Murphy thought thi. the easiest plan to get rid yf the fellow. There is little doubt In the minds of many that this man Kelly has com mitted several robberies in this city, yet the evidence to convict him i lacking. We believe Murphy done the wisest thing under the circumstances, as Kelly will hardly stop in this place again. l-'rum Tamday9 River is rising. We may look for boats toon. The warm spring sun has dried up the mud caused bp the late snow-storm. The police conclude that the temper ance cause must be flourishing. Drunken ness is growing rare. Asa mark of growing prosperity we call attention to the immense numbers of ofwagons loaded with produce which can be seen thronging our streets cverj day. The bridges over the run are progress ing rapidly, the piles are in for two, and work commenced on the next on third street. Our brother quill of the "Lincoln State Journal," Prof. Gore, called to day. He is just from the cast, an I looks gay and happy. The Prof, thinks the immigration to Nebraska this year will be much larger than ever before. The ferry boats "President" and "Mary Magee" are making regular trips and crossing full loads. The immigration in to Nebraska has commenced in earnest. The white covered wagons are filing past in a continuous stream all bound west. The officers and a large number of in vited guests with theirladies, enjoyed delightful excursion over the U. P. R. R last Saturday. The locals of the Omaha papers are eloquent in praise of the per feet ion of every arrangement, and the enjoyable charac ter of the trip. 1 artittS who are ambitious to obtain any of the city offices, can render them selves famoui, and do theircountrv ser vice by announcing tlwlr names in this paper. Just put upj-our $ V and we'll publish your political proclivities that wav. Money down, or no ink ured. We call attention to the advertisement of Messrs Pools and Yeates, Druggists kc. iu another column. These gentlemen infirm us that they .hnvc received two cir fraIj f goods and are prepared to fill all orders in their line at short notice. I Valerj in thi country will do well to call on this firm, lefore going elsewhere, as they are determined not to be undersold, and will keep nothing but pure and una dulterated drugs. We are in firmed that Dr. DuGas was called at a late hour last night to attend somebody reortcd to be hurt, on step ping out-ide of his office he was knocked down and robbed of a considerable" amount of money. We don't understand the robbers. In a large ncwspaporial exper ience we have seldom been called to t lironi cle the robbing of a "doctor" Thieves seem to understand that such parties sel dom carry any thing they like to take. If the rascals can be caught we suggest a double dose of justice to them. From WeJneiJai't Daily. The temporary "platform" for the ae coinmodation of passengers on the B. & M. R. R,, at the foot of Main street, is rapidly approaching completion. Michael Mangen has been appointed deputy Marshal, by Marshal Murphy, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of J. W. Barr. Some stops should bo taken by the Street Commissioner to have the water running down the Main street gutters, run under the railway track and into the river. At present it floods the west side of the track with mud. Policeman Shamp did the. pedestrians of this citya good turn this morning, by having a couple of calaboe boarders dig away the ico pile on the corner of Third and Main streets. We suggest that he make them clean the crossings too. There is an alkali lake resting on a bed of coal Kear Big Horn, and a short dis tance from there is an oil well. The Bi. Horn expedition proposes to fire the cocl and turn the oil into the lake and soft soap all creatiou in a Bighorn. - - There will be a meeting of the Han del and Haydn Musical Association r.t the Court House on to-morrow, (Thurs day) evening, at 7 o'clock, for the pur pose of completing the organization of the society. All the friends of musk-are invited to be present and cincourage the enterprise. J. W. Marshall, Chairman. We hope there will be a full turn out of Republicans, at' the meeting in the Court House next Saturday evening. Let every Republican see to it that he is there, and let hirn remind his neigh bor Republicans of the importance being on hand also. It is by a full, free, and fair expression of popular will, only tint the wishes and desire f the party, can bo arrived at, and we hope to see a full turn out, as tlm business of this city, during the uvxi year: wiil be all important to its future vrowth.

The Rtiritngton- Sc ' Missouri River Rail Road, Initween Plattsmouth and Buvlhgton, was the only road across Towa upon w hich trains wore run regu larly during the recent storm. The R & M. was not blockaded every other road aerosa the State was. Till: Oil 1 I.I.I tOTIIK It. Tt. From parties supposed to know, we learn that the Rail Road from Chillieothe to l'lattsmouth will probably be comple ted daring the coming summer.

ONLY SIXTY HOl'KS. A gentleman who arrived in this city a day or two since informs us that he was just sixty hours from Philadelphia to Pla ttsmouth. It used to take sixty days to make this same trip. This sa'me gen tleman paid a handsome compliment to the officers and employees of the B. fc M. road, which we cannot but repeat. He remarked, in speaking of his travels, that the most accommodating and gen tlemanly set of railroad officials and em ployees he had found anywhere were on the B. & M. road between Burlington and Plattsinouth. a cnicn ixio.v Hju.

It -nn lf Done at h ii A rrn; f Celt of lo than Fifty On I n .Niglit. We have several times called attention to the fact that the streets of this city should be lighted, and yet there is no move in that direction. Alderman Gass did give notice that he would introduce an ordinance making provisions therefor, but we believe the matter rest3 'here. We believe that Main street could be well lighted from the railroad track up as far as Sixth street at a cost not exceed ing fifty cents a night after the posts and lamps were provided. The posts and lamps would probably cost $1-3 or $20 for each light, and there should be ten or twelve lamps between the railroad and Sixth street. Experience in other towns shows that one gallon of oil suitable for these lamps, which costs about thirty cents a gallon, will burn sixty hours. This, divided between twelve lamps would give five hours burning to each of the twelve, an expense of only about thirty cent-. These lamps could be filled, lighted and extinguished by the police men, without any additional expense, and vre doubt not many of the posts and lamps would Ik' put up by individuals in terested, if the city would only furnish the oil and keep them lighted. Crime seeks dark places, and street lamps would do more than extra policemen to prevent crime in our city. It is a money making scheme for the city to light the streets, to say nothing of the convenience of the thing. Let us .have" them lighted, say we. Who says no?

It is a ni-itfer of surprise to u to wit ness the erforts of so'ii western Con gr"Sir.en to defeat the bill now before th Senate for granting aid to the railroad- in Nybr.-i-ka. We scs too. that our ever watchful Representative, Hon. JohnTafie, ha introduced a bill grant ing the same privileges as contemplated in the Seriate bill, to the railway pro jected from Fremont. No doubt this bill will meet wuh opposition from the same quarter. lUat Iowa Xtcpreseiua- t'ives should harp at the squandering (?) of the public domain for such puqvises, reminds us of Satan rebuking sin. W e have in our possession a map of Iowa, containing all the grants to railroads in that State, and we think any Iowa Rep resentative, of "the people" who could) sej it, would have his mouth most ef fectually shut up on this question. We commend those gentlemen to call at the General Land Office, and procure a copy each of this map to illustrate their re marks hereafter. One absurd idea is constantly forced before us, that "granting aid to vail ways is squandering the public domain!" Now, how is it ? Do the people whom these watchful guardians apparently love so warmly lose anything? Let us sec. Lands are sold for $1.25 per acre at the Land Offices. By railroad grants, such as contemplated, alternate sections are donated to railroad coaipanies upon the expressed condition that they build a rail way within a given time; that is, that huff the lands between the boundaries of thej grant are given away but mark the effect the remaining half is doubled in value and it takes $2.5'J per acre to purchase it, so that in effect the revenue is not decreased one cent. On the con trary, the bare fact of the construction of the road fills up a country with set tlers, which would have remained de serted for another half century, but for this wise legislation on the part of Con gress. The influx of enterprising citizens into the new territory, rendered habitable ly the construction of our railways, increases the revenue, not only in rapidly settling the country but by increasing very largely the taxable iroiertv over an area of country which would otherwise remain unpeopled for years. It is sheer mad- ness tor these parties, opposing tne .c - lraka bill, to plead their Watchfulness j over the "dear people." . They are penny wie and pound foolish to a fault. J heir argument-: show i-one.uveiy that jealously, and a dog in the manger spirit. is the extent of their professed love of the people in tins particular instance. We a-k our Representatives to exhibit the map of railroad grants in Iowa, to the astonished eyes of these questionable friends of the people, and teach them that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the cander.

Herald: Not the least sig lJScaut indications of the growth and prosperity of a town is the moral character ind intelligence of its inhabitants, and the interest and spirit manifested by them in the establishment and maintenance of public schools and churches. Many as are the doubts, and diverse theories, and speculative opinions, afloat in the world upon subjects relative to the fiual destiny of mankind in a future and eternal state, all candid persons who have once become acquainted with its .teachings have ever been constrained to adaiit that there is not, and never has lieen, a society, or order, or creed, known among men, that has "so magnified good ness and moral ana social rectitmieas uas ,tne Christian Religion. And while 'the i experience of all persons is uniform, that i , , i,us;ncs3 interests of any communit' are best subserved by maintaining the worship which it enjoins, and teaching the truth of its moral (.lecepU thereby promoting order, gooc government and fair dealing among tlie 4.ftjzonSj there are few people who do not esteem it a privilage to live where themselves and their families (if they have any) may attend upon a regular and stated Divine Service. Believing that, as a geueral rule, ap plicable to the masses in our great coun try, inteligenee and enterprising, and religion go hand in hand, and that by far the greater number of those who seek information in your columns to aid them in selecting from the many thriving towns ia the west tho one that they will make their future homes, wiil deem it important, before making a choice, to ascertain xdier. they may obtain the best prh iloge of this kind, it is my intention in this letter to state what such privileges are, and may be expected soon to be in Lincoln. There are at present, eight organized church societies in this place. The Mcthodis-t, Episcopal, Congregational, Catholic, Protestant Methodist, Chris tian Presbyterian, Episcopal and Baptist. Of the foregoing, the M. E. Ins the largest church, and congregation ; has a i1 membership of upwards of two hundred. ! , i ...... I ami a constant ana regular attcn lance. first in order have neat and comfortable edifices, dedicated as houses of public worship ; the two next have buildings, intended for that purpose, now being constructed and nearly ready for use, and all, except tho last two, maintained a Pastor, and observes the usual regular services. It is intended by all the societies referred to, and not now provided with churches, to make arrangements for their being built during the ensuing summer, and besides, it is understood, that two or three other societies wiil be organized, and will erect places of worship during the same time. So that it seems that it may be confidently asserted, that whoever resides in Lincoln, six or eight months hence, rany take his choice from among ten or eleven churches, upon the service of which Le shall attend There are two school houses and three public schools in town, in which arc taught all the usual tranches of com mon school education ; a competent and efficient corps of teachers is retained, and it is left to be the fault only of pupils cr their parents if they are not as well and as thoroughly taught here as in am' com mon school in the country. Such are the religious and educational advantages and prospects of Lincoln to day. Surely thoy are not of a kind of which the citizens of any town, yet in its third year, need be ashamed. Proba bly there are few towns of that aje the citizen of which can give better reasons for pride ; and if the prosperity of the city continues and increases, as there is now every probability that it will, when the church societies have become suffi ciently large and wealthy to build more large and permanent structures. When the State University, with its six subordinate colleges, containing fifty one chairs, shall have been erected and put in operation, it would seem that there will be few cities in the west in which it will be more desirable to live than in Lin coln. Situated as it is uion a beautiful site, in the midst of an extensive and J fertile f:irmin country upen lauds j which, it is now scarcely doubte I. are rich with t.itciulvi- lcp-I:s of salt the Capital of the State, and the objective point of the numerous railways now be- ring built toward it, or the lulling cf. which is contemplated, giving it direct : communication with aii the principal i thorougU!ares in every direction, 1 am at a loss to know what more is necessary to secure for it the first rank among the inland cities of America. Wiliu r. Southern Xrhrnska. The committee of investigation ap pointed for the inspection of the south ern portion of this State Messrs Thayer and Millard returned on Saturday, with Mr. C. R. Schuuer and Mr. McLaughlin, his surveyor. They1 have surveyed about 40,OiX) acres of land, and a meet ing will immediately take place for a se lection of the lands to be taken by the members of the association, which was organized some three weeks since. They report the storm very severe on the head waters of the Blue and Republican Yal ley. Active improvement.1 are being made toward Lincoln. No Indians or traces of any, arc to be seen. After the meeting of the members of the associa tion, a full report will be published. Oni'tha llrpubKcan. An Awkward Tl'ltneiH. Lawyers have a belief that when a wituess begins to yawn, and looks extra indifferent, ho is probably lying. A funny colloquy between a witness of this class and a counsellor occurred a few weeks a?o iu a court held not verv far west. The particular matter at issue was an account of several years' stand ing ; defendant swore that he had paid it in full, and, to corroborate him, called this witness. The fellow mounted the stand, took the oath, gaped, and testified directly that the money was paid; that he was present and saw it paid. Then he was turned over to the plaintiff for cross examination. lawyer You say you saw the money paid? Witness (e'aping) I did. Lawyer Where was plaintiiff when defendant came. Witness In the barn.

But something had to be done ; and so. with nowJiolitut yawn, he drawled out the words: "Well, Squire, I don't know as I care much about this case, any way." I'ukurd s Mivttdji. LOUAKi NOTICES.
