OVERDOSE IT.
We are reluctant to rebuke our able
and excellent democratic coteiuporaries
in Omaha and Nebraska City. We are
loth to admit to ourseJf that they have
made a blunder we don't think they
often do. But in their zeal toaisist Mr.
Taffe to a re-nomination for Congress
they have rather overdone the thing.
'They slopped over a little, but they won't
do so any more. Brownville Democrat.
How i that for "high?" Have th
.Xcict or the Omaha Herald heard any
thing about "Zabriskie" or "John Taffe
.jr.," recently. We hope those journals
will copy the above item from the Demo-.
wrf together, with the letter from the
:ejctment on this subject.
THE EVIDENCE.
Upone our call for the publication of
die eTHciaee taken by the "investigating"
Committee, the Pl&ttair.outh Herald ii

approve bove suggestion. The evi

ta the evidence; give us me evidence,
! he just and publish it. We bb.aH confi-
' Jeatly look for the first chapter of t lie
.evidence in the next issue of the Journal. "
We assure the Herald that it is nii-sta
j ken in imagining for an instant that we
j were talking buncombe. Weareinearn-
s c.-u, ana we can ior me puDiicaiion oi trie
evidence by those who have it in itosscs-
j ion. It is not of "easy access" to the
Journal, for it it was not left at Lincoln
j or put on file in any department. It
vitf the desire of the Commissioners
i tkat it should be presented and placed
, whjre the public could have access to it,
I and it would have been an act of simple
f" justice had this Ieen doni. It wn not
. even read to the Joint ('(invention, that
i .heard the report based upon it. We
j will publish it with pleasure if the com
mittee will furnish us a copy, or put the
original where we can take a copy and
have it properly certified. - If there is to
be any dodging in this matter, we intend
t keen Uie people posted. --Lincoln
Journal. K
Is it a fact which the Journal Ptate.",
that the evidence is not at the Capital f
"Where is it ? Will somebody enlighten
us and the public ? We were honest in
k supposing the evidence was of "easy ac-
!ees" by our cotempary. If not, then
we agree with the Journal that it would
have been "a simple act of justice to the
commissioners" to have it placed where
the commissioners may have it for a de
fence when needed. It is not only an
"act of justice" toward the commis
sioners to have this evidence where it
-can be seen when needed, but it is most
certainly an aet of great injustice to the
i Investigating Committee to have this
i evidence lost or niilaid. This evidence
j is the foundation for their report, and
' the committee should, in justice to them
1 seive. see to it at once, and ascertain
what has become of the evidence.

We are in receipt of a 'number of let
ters every week asking for information
on this subject. The qnestions aked
vary widely with each writer, but thpy
may all be summed up into one grand
query: Is Nebraska a desirable place
for people t go, when from any cause
they sec fit to change their place of resi
dence? This covers the whole ground.
We answer the question yes. Taking
all views of the matter, summing up the
advantages and subtracting drawbacks,
we unhesitatingly state that, on the
whole, Nebraska is without a rival in the
inducements it holds forth to those de
siring to locate in the new and growiug
. west These in lucements are heightened
in value by the fact that they arc each
diy growing more rre, and some are
reaxijig to exist for instance cheap
lands. Others are, on the contrary, in
crr:Miig. We will mention a few f the leading
attractions which our State offers to im
niigrants. The cheapest and most fertile
lands in the world ; well-watered and
with, plenty f timber to meet all ncces-
fities, and stone and coal in abundance.
A mot charming climate, a pure, dry at
nwphere, free from sudden changes and
violeut storms. Plenty of the best and
furest water. Good social and religious
communities. A splendid free school
system, whereby every child can enjoy
facilities lor obtaining an education. In
brief there are no drawbacks to a pleas
at residence in southern Nebraska, but
s"7.ch as may le overcome with a little
c'oie and patience ; and there are many
advantages which cannot be obtained

TIf K MII)LAU PACIFIC.
One of our Nebraska City exchanges
send up the following mournful wail,
which must make the "ainmiles" feel
badly for leagues around:
"Dr. Converse returned to the city
this morning. He is unable to give us
any encouragement concerning the Mid
land Pacific, but seems to think that no
further work can be done until they give
$150,000 in bonds, or the first mortgage
bonds of the company can be cashed for
seventy cents on the dollar, or the State
Line road can be completed t Nebraska
City, which will be two years hence.
"He inibrms us that arrangements have
been made to build one hundred miles of
the State Liue road this season, and he
will probably make his heal quarters at
Warsaw and superintend the construc
tion of this line. The balance of that
road will be finished next season and that
then tho work on the Midland 'will be
pushed vigorously.
"It is indeed unfortunate for the peo
ple of Nebraska City especially, and for
the people of Otoe, Lancaster, Johnson
and Gage counties generally, that work
cannot go on at once on these Nebraska
lines. The suspension of opperation for
two years will hurt ur business interests
for that length of time, but when the
lines are completed and the connection
with the U. P. effected,' they will become
the great through lines across the country
and Nebraska City will ppeedily bound
into her place in the lead of all western
cities." .r
The Brownville Democrat append the
following: r
. "The State Line Road has consolida
ted with the Burlington and Southwest
ern, and its Nebraska terminus therefore
is at Rulo instead of Nebraska City. It
is "unfortunate for the people of John
son and Gage counties that work cannot
go on," and the "suspension of operation
for two years, will hurt the business in
terest!" of those counties dreadfully.
But Johnson and Gage never had much
confidence in the Southwestern and will
not be much surprised to hear of its pre
mature death.
We are truly sorry our neiuhiior is
ho discouraged. Three weeks ago that a

'ri,e
The "Southwestern must be built."
It may be exceedingly "unfortunate
f r the people of Johnson and Gage
counties," but we incline to the belief
that they are rather fortunate than other
wise. How luuch ha.s Otoe and Lancas
ter counties been "fortunate" in having
the Midland? We think Otoe has been
"fortunate" to the tune of about 150,
UO0 in bonds. Do the people of John
sxin and Gage desire to be "fortunate"
in that way, or do they prefer their pres
ent misfortune ? We think the B. k M.
Toad will let the good "people of these
counties have a ride into Plattsmouth
soon. Their line will run much nearer
to "the people of Johnson and Gage
counties," than the Midland ever will.
lEnilromls.
It may not be amiss to ca!l the atten
tion of some of our railroad frieuds io
the fact that men, with the elements of
manhood so prominently developed as
western meu have them generally, may
be persuaded and induced to do much
but cannot be coerced to do a thing. If
the Midland Pacific Corupanj- means to
take the position indicate.! by the letter
from Hon. John B. Bennct if they
think they can force the people of Otoe
county . to give them more bonds, they
will most assuredly find - themselves wo
fully mistaken. Men will sacrifice prop
erty and interest everything but they
will not be forced. Tho compauy may
have us in its power it may be able to
damage us much, but we know full well
that it cannot afford to hold the line and
lay out of the use of the money invested
long without losing quite as much as we
will. It munt, for its own protection, ci
ther build the road or sell out. jVe

Coming.
Never before at anv one time in our
history has immigration been as great as
it now is, and the prospect of being this
spring. The Eastern States are just wak
ing up to the advantages and induce
ments offered by one ' State and arc
coming by hundreds. Southern Ne
braska too seems to be the favorite point.
An immigrant from Page county, Iowa,
informed us this week that 110 families
from that place would le in Brownville
in a few days, cn route for the little Blue.
He also said that nearly 2X) families from
New England were coming out in May
for the same point.
.-.Tbis begins to look like business. In
a very short time that beautiful river,
ami all others adjoining, will resound
with the Jiuni ef'labor and industnv and
Nebraska will be the "Gem State" of
the UhioiUjOur. advantages are begin
ning to be appreciated, and just such
another rush of immigration as will ensue
the . next, year will be almost without a
parallel. . ., . ,
Let them come.- Brown rille Dem.
The Oldrst Settler. '
! Next to the oldest inhabitant the old
est settler is an important personage in
this western country. .And no small de
gree of interest attaches to the man who
fcuccessfully establishes his claim to being
recognized as the first man who set np
his home in the great wilds of any given
State. Of approximate consequence is
the original settler of a section, and even
the first man who drives a fence post in
a county is a man of some note.
It is of course impossible now to tell
who was the first white man who looked
upon the broad and fertile prairies of
Nebraska. Many adventurous hunters
and trappers gazed with rapture upon
its beautiful expanse, and trapped tho
furry denizens of its streams long before
any man was found bold enough to set
up therein his household goods. J
To the distinction and distinction it
certainly in of being the first lona fide
settler of Nebraska, Mr. Wm. M. Mad
dox, now living in Falls City, Richardson
county, lays claim, and no doubt justly
enough, lie emigrated to the Territory
of Nebraska in 1854, arriving at the pres
ent site of Nebraska City on the 7th day
of April in that year. At that time
Major Dewns was the only man of family
in the Territory, and he was connected
with an Indian agency and was not a
permanent resident. Such is the sub
stance of the statement of Mr. Maddox
in this connection, and if he is mistaken
we are not sufficiently posted in the his
tory of the early days to detect the error.

' '- rFrolm the ChrcnicleJ '
Ma. Editor: In your issue of the 13th
inst, you make the following inquiries.
"The people are exceedingly anxious
about the work on the Midland Pacific.
When will the work be resumed? Will
some man in authority give us . light on
the subject? It . is due the people to
know something about this matter, and
we hope to get the desired information.
Our Bonds have been issued and we have
a right to know to what se i they have
been put." I will endeavor to give you
the desired "light," and will begin where
yon left off Otoe County did give the
"Midland Pacific" one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of her Bonds, unon a
written condition that the proceeds of
the sale of the said Bonds should be
used towards building a railroad in Otoe
County, and it is due to the "people to
know to what use they have been put. ' '
Since the delivery of those Bonds ro the
Midland Pacific, the company have sur
veyed a line of Railroad from Nebraska
City tof Grand Tsland," Located, 'and Gra
ded the roadbedysriid pntt in stone culverts
complete,: to Lincoln , fifty eight -miles,
forty miles of which' are in Otoe County.
Upou the first twelve miles the Company
have furnished and laid t dowa the .ties,
iron rails, side tracks,' ard switphes'and
put" in seventeen heavy Bridges"making
it complete as a first cla.sb Railroadnpon
the said completed road they have now
running one Engine and. four flat cars.
They have built a good and" substantial
Engine House and Water tank. At the
depot (the place so diilicult for strangers
to find, ) there are about two acres cov
ered with Bridge Timbers. The. whole"
amount of work done, ' and material fur
nished as shown by Vouchers on file in
the office of this eomnanv cost over four
... ,. . .. .
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Thus
you will gee that for every dollar the
people have given the "Midland Pa
cific," the Company have spent three
dollars in the County. From the above
showings, which I .have endeavored to
make correctly, I see no reason why the
people should be m , exceedingly
anxious and girspiaous especially when
such men as Robert Hawke. John Ham
lin, John Maxonaud others acknowledge
that the Midland l acinc hasadvaced
the price of real estate in Otoe county one
million dol'ars since thev began the en
terprise., i Now, in answer to the ques
tious. . "When will work' bo resumed?"
I will say, that just as soou as Otoe and
Lancaster counties "come down" with
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
each, the work will be resumad, unless
the said counties wait until the company
make different arrangement, in such
case it may be two or' more years, the
whole depending more or less on circum
stances. The company expect to expend
this year in cash, over one million dollars
of money in the construction of railroads,
cither in Nebraska or Iowa, nnd it is an
unsettled question; .with-, them to-day,
whether to . make Nebraska . City or
Keokuk their headquarters. ,for the dis
bursement of that money.
Before closing, I will say one or two
words in regard to reports on our streets,
which are a repetition of what have leen
current for the last two years, that the
"Midland Pacific" had sold out to the
B. & 31. That the B. & M. intend to
take up their track west of Plattsmouth
and tnoveitdown here; that Plattsmouth
is too near to Omaha to !m profitable for
a bridge, and consequently they either
have or will buy the "Midland Pacific"
and move their jpad from Plattsmouth
down here. - The above report is circula
ted and believed by very many intelligent
men at this place. So far as the bridge
and tearing up of the B. & M. road
from l'lattsmouth west. is concerned, I
will leave the Plattsmouth Herald to an
swer ; but so far as the selling out to the
B. & M. is coueenied, I will say that ice
are ?wt now, never hare, nor never expert
to Ije for sale to the .B. & 211. nor ttny
other cam pany. We are now. and have
been for the last two years associated with
a great consolidated Midland interest,
our line forming a link in. and a part of
a through line from New York and Phila
delphia to Ft. Kearney, one hundred
ana forty-eight miles' nearer from ocean
to ocean than any other line now in con
temnlation. That our consolidation is
composed of tho Pennsylvania Central,
Pau Handle, Columbus and Indiana Cen
tral, and the Toledo, Peoria and. Warsaw
Railroad Companies, extending from
New York and Philadelphia to Keokuk,
where. a railroad bridge is now nearly
completed across, the Mississippi River,,
and that we don't expect to sellout, give
tip, turn a fide, or get discouraged, until
wo place Nebraska City and Lincoln on
one of the best through lines in the Na
tion. If the "people", are willing to
wait until we can accomplish all this, all
light; if not, and they get too "exceed
ingly anxious," I think they had better
take hold and help things along a little
themselves. I think there is something
for few to do, as well as for the "Mid
land Pacific." The Bv & M. R. R., is
now emptying our Hotels in this place
taking the travel by way of Plattsmouth .
to Lincoln. One mouth wore and the
B. i M. will lay lumber and coal down
in the city of Lincoln as cheap as it is
laid down here, and then aicay goes onr
Western and Sovthicestcrn Lumber trade.'
Three months more, unless something is
done, and that quickly, will spread a
gloom over this town such a has never
been witnessed since the great carrying
trade of the Plains was transferred from
this place to Omahai The "goose" that
so many of you expect to pick the bones
of, instead of being, fattened on the
"graves" of certain individuals may yet

PIATTSMOUTir: NEBRASKA,

,iue omnlia Uepoklirnn. , ;
Editor Rei-l-rlican: Several arti
cles have recently appeared in the Ne
braska City Aetrj and Omuhs. Herald in
relation to the cadetship to which Ne
braska, is entitled at West Point and An
napolis. ,
The purport of these articles is, that I
have. made improper, appointments for
corrupt considerations. If they do not
mean that they do not mean anything.
The first apjtcared in the Jfeics of the
18th ult., as follows:
MILITARY AND NAVAL.
Nebraska is represented by one or two
cadet3 at West Point, and one or two at
Annapolis. But the neonleof this State
are lamentably igneraut of the section of
Nebraska which lias the honor oi fur
nishing these military and naval repre
sentatives. 1 '-" '"-'
'. In the United States Naval Academy,
sometime; since, we were represented by
a youth hearing the honorable cognomen
of John Taffe, but from what portion of
Indiana he . wa-s furnished , to 'represent
Nebraska is as yet a profound mystery.
Recent developments as to the pecuniary
value of -these appointments., have
aroused a spirit of inquiry as to what has
become of the Nebraska - cadetship. .
Will some Democratic: member ,at Lin
coln introduce a resolution of inquiry ?
" The second appeared in the same paitf
on the iiSth. ult.;, and is a follows : "
. Will tho Omaha Herald telL the public,
who Naval . Cadet ySabrfckip ? -He'
seems " to' have been appotHte.(i , from
Omaha to the United States '.Naval
Academy at Annapolis. ' - " ; j
-Al.- what John Taffe, is-the; John

are representing the State of Nebraska,
at West Point- and Annapolis. ,
Where do their parents live ?

Who .'gave the boys their
mcnts?

appomt-
- We mean business. T
The Herald takes up the cry, accord
ing to order, rehashing the A'ens libels ;
and both of these papers have' recently
ma le frequent alTuMon to thisubject. ;
The 'Herald, nmongotherthmg.-ssays':
"About" the John Taffe who is' in the
sadi'c school Naval ive are equally ig
norant. : He does not live here," . I ,
. It might be a matter of. astonishment
to the people of Nebraska that two joiur
uuis siiouiu mus Tinuiunmgiy give cur
rency t their own base-fabrications, wore
it nut that those familiar names,- J,
Sterling Morton, and ( Jeorgo L. Miller
appear at the mast-heads. But they are
known to l e equal to anything but what
is honorable, and their supreme contempt
for truth is a matter of public, notorieic:
The stupid iHorance which they exhibit
as to the number of cadets, comports
fairly with their understanding of mo.st
other subjects. I would be glad if there
wa come theory upon which these ar
ticles could be excused; but .1 know t.f
no shadow of pretext upoii, which the
poor plea of mistake could be based.
It is tLercfore faro to eonelndo tbat ic
was the deliberate intention of these two
political lepers to seize upon the occasion
when the country was ready to credit
the most extravagant - charge with. the
hope that some minds would be poi
sonad which a correction would never
reach... . . , .
. 1 am aware that such characters, who
never had an honest conviction, and
probably novor will have, uuless they get
it ' in a court of justice, are always
amazed that any one in official position
should do an honest act for nothing, if
he could make pecuniary profit by corrupt
'sales. . . , . i
The records of the War and .Navy
Departments are public: and the facts
i t i j .i. i i. . i ; i- . ,
iu question are readily ascertainable.
Ibis therefore not EuiSeeut to set up
erroneous information as an excuse for
these falsehoods.
I nominated John E. Myers, of Omaha
to West Point, and I am willing to rest
tho question of his bona Jida ic side lice
upon the testimony of such . excelcnt
democrats as Edward Creiglitou and V.
E- B. Kenedy J' '"ami I furthnr submit
whether that poor, I struggling boy wa
selected on, account,, of any--political in
fluence ho might be ..able, tn, ,cxert.i tI

During the last campaign Dr. Miller
publi.-hed a palpable misstatement of
facts in regard to a certain vote of mine
upon the subject of aid to railroads, pro
fessing to take the same from the Globe-.
The conclusive proof of the falsity of the
charge was placed before Lis eyes, yet he
refused to make the correction. ' From
that time I have not expected decent
treatment from him. . However little he
may have thought me entitled to, he owed
it to truth and to himself as a gentleman,'
to publish the true record, j Ho did not
do it, and I havo a right to assume that
falsehood, like those under consideration,
was deliberate and malicious. It still
rets upon hhnV unretrneted and unex
plained. No plea of polities will conceal
his estimate of veracity, or justify him in
bearing falac witness against, his neigh

A Xew Trouble in llah!
Dr. Tagyart, - Collector of Internal
Revenue tor that Territory, rejorts that
the amount assessed on the proierty de
rived from the late Ileber C. Kimblll bv
his fort y-tico children could not be collec
ted without tho aid of the military.
Well, we should think not, if that nu
ruerous family objected. . Forty-two
children quarreling among themselves
lor the possession of the parental estate,
would be a very pre3' sight for the law
yers, out quite the reverse tor a revenue
collector, who could n t mutter more than
eight or ten deputies. Then the ques
tion will come up, if the colletor has a
l itrhtto interfere with these little family
affairs. ' There is an old maxim that a
man s house is his castle. A castle of
Utah logs, garrisoned with forty-two
children, equipped for a siege, would be
a harder; thing to -storm than a King
street distillery. ,- And suppose Brigham
should take a notion to order out Am
children and form a hollow squarearound
the entire ' city of Saints', what , will the
Collector do then, ioor thing? 'How

. "Father," said a Persian monarch to
an old man who, according to oriental
usage, bowed before the sovereign's
throne, "pray bo seated.- I cannot re
ceive homage from one bent with years,
and whose head is white with tho frosts
of age."
"And now, father," said the monarch,
when the old man had. taken the proffered
seat,' "tell me-thine age, how many of
the film's revolution? hast thou encoun
tered?' t . ..
"Sir," answered tlu old man,. "I am
but four years old. - '
"What!" interrupted the king, "fear
est thou not to answer me rashly, or dost
thou jest on the very brink of the
tomb?" .,
"I spoak not falsly, sir," replied the
aged man,' "neither would I offer a fool
ish jest on a subject so solemn. Eighty
long years have.l wasted in lolly and sin
ful pleasures and in amassing wealth.

lecture at nymouiu Chnrchi said : : . ;
"Our Master palled the fishermen, and
said he would make them fishers of men.

I can best describe it by saying it has an

.Laughter. I would throw him in
airain, and -catch him four or five times.
Then there, was a kind that would. uibUe,
nibble all ray bait, but never take the
hook. ' There are hist such rconle in -the
church. - They take all your attention
and sympathy, and rather like being the
objects of so much solicitude : but they
never coma to God. "When I was a boy
I used to fee the big fish down i.i the
bottom; and I used to drop my hook
down there, and he would go off then.
Then I would drop my hook where he
was,' and he would -then go off to some
other plate. I never could make' a fish
bite when he didn't want to. I have
found, it fo in my, ministry. , There are
many of the most promising men in my
congregation, who, notwithstanding ail
my labor for them, may die in their sins.
But.-work 'on, : work for all men. work
without ceasing. Bless God if you catch
men ; and, if you don't, keep on work-:

The Queen of Belgium has so grieved
at the loss ; of her eldest son, the little
Crown Princo, lhat Jier hair has turned
prematurely gnry, and hardly any traces
of her former beauty remain. Before
tho death of the little Prince; the Queen
was exceedingly fond of riding on horse
back, and she prided herself on being
the most skilful equestrienne in the king
dom : but since that mournful event,
which she took so much to heart, she has
never been in the baddle.
