reaching the uplanii, the beautifal prai

rank crowing corn, was to be seen on
very V.and, and the exclamation of every
one was, "what a splendid country!"
Here, for the first, it was noticed that
1 he fields of grain were without IL:n-r,
which looked very singular to a lloo-icr,
the law in Nebraska compelling the
owners of domestic animals to cither
herd them or fence them in in.-toad of
the farmer to fence in his grain. It was
also noticed, especially by th ladies,
that the atinot-phere was more pure and
invigorating than what we had breathed
before. From Fluttsniouth the road
runs up the l'latte Iliver lor some ."i)
miles, pa-sing through several thriving
little towns, one of which is named
iSouth IJend, and then leaves it for a
- southwesterly direction to Lincoln, the
Capital of Nebraska, where we arrived
at about one o'clock, and found carriages
iii waiting to couvey us to the several

From the Winamao Democrat, we ex
tract the following relative to our city :
Uut we cannot longer dwell upon this
part of our journey, an 1 we now find
ourselves at l'lattsiuouth, Nebraska, j
two hnnired and sixty-se ven miles from j
Burlington. Our rea-fors will remember ;
that the town is at tho mouth of I'iatte j
river, and it is here that the railroad j
crosses the Mis-ouvi Oar train was ;

most genial and clever etit.einan we

well entertained what time we spent in
hid sanctum. The iMlowin.sr extract
we clip from the Daily llcruhl ; it-is
highly complimentary to our party, and
we are almost provoked to thank the

i
We wo il l be iilea.-ed to notice more
fully l'lattsiuouth but we must sum it
up in a low words or we would never pet
to Lincoln. The town is beautifully lo
cated ; there are many buildings wbieh

of even our larger cities. There is plenty

gave us the i b a-ure l' viewing l'latts

could. We left the city glad that we
had paid sm li a visit, and carrying away
with us nothing but the most ardent
wi-lies for the future prosperity and
happiness of those who had so kindly
remembered us.

any hght pn the intentions of tln.s o-om-

route up the Lhie him Humboldt , via
Pawnee City an 1 Leatnce. It will be
seen that the road is about completed to
rails ( ity. in Jiictiardson county, and
that the Pawnee people are atixiou.-ly
and hopefu ly looking for the proposed
extension to the northwest by the route
proposed in the proposition to the two
counties. Gage voted $Ho,(hh) to the
Burlington and Southwestern, and the
county stands ready, we doubt not, to di
vert that amount info the treasury of
the Atchison and Nebraska, if that
company has purchased the franchises
and privileges of the former company,
and if such action can be taken as to in
sure the construction of a road up the
valley.
Since writing the above,-news has
reached town that a company of eight
surveyors are staking out a line from
Pawnee City here. Yesterday they

entered the left car and tome out the

ently about o5 years old. and his light
arm was stretched out in front of him,
bathed in gore, whilst ju t before the
body lay a scythe, which the murdered
man had evidently been u-in at the
time of his deat h. Tho old man, who
lay on his right side, had a bundle of
grass ia his riitht arm, and had doubt
less fallen dead in his tracks without a
struggle.
Near by stood the two wagons of the
bullet's victims, to one of which were
hitched a prey stallion and a b!in 1 sorrel
horse, unharnes-e 1 ; while the other
team, bth brown horses, roamed loose
on the prairie.
In the wasrons were a number of emp

with the name, J. I'lack, and another
Lore the stamp of Uawley & Burke, of

The bodies of the men were examined

To the !m nt:ii!i!t tht (onstitut'on'tl (Juti
Vriilbm of the. .V 'e nf A'(.' ifs.'v
The under-isrned. your memorialists,
re.-pectfuily demand that in the coiis-i-futuin
now being framed, provision -.hall
be made for extending to females, pre
cisely as to males, the right of .-ulfiage.
In support of this demand, we respect
fully submit trie following propo-iii ois :
1st. IJy lle fourteenth amendment to
the con-tli uti el of the United States,
the complete ciiizoii-hip of females, as
well as males, is declared : and by the
fifteenth amendment the right of citizen
to vote is distinctly affirmed.
"d. Females are governed exactly as
males. To do this without their con-cut
ii unju-t. The only method of declar
ing sueli assent is tl: rough the ballot
box.
iid. F onales are taxed in all re-pects
precise!;
as males. -presentation as a
corollary to tin., liability is demanded ly
principles lying at the very foundjtiou of
ltepuliiii-an gove) nu.etit-,
id). Negri es have been elevated from
the degradation of .-l.iveiy to tiie plane
of respectable citizcuship-hy the ballot,
and it is universally concede. I that the
cause of civilization and Kepunliean gov
ernment has b.v. ii a ivaiieed thereby.
In our opinion, the mothers, wive- and
si.-teis c.f the ?tare are no le.-s wot thy
the privilege of complete citizenship.
5th. Lunatics, idiots and children,
by reason ot immature intellect, togeth
er with -uch persons as are convicted of
infamous crime, are excluded from the
piivtleges of the ballot. U'e deem it an
indignity, illy deserved, by females ex
empt from these disabilities, to be placed
irrevocably and by constitutional law in
this ciitegoiy of incompetent per.-ons and
out aw-.
0th. Emigrants from 'the old world,
never admitted fo the light of sniiraiie
i.i their n-itivo country and wholly un
u-eJ to the contemplation of matters of
governmental concern, are allowed the
privileges of the ballot six month- after
landing on our shores. A recog ntt'on
of the Miperiority of the.-e to the in -1
li.g nt r.atix e born women of the -tate
by one fundamental law is an indignity
against whieh we itspect fully but most
earnestly protest.
For llo se, among other reasons, we
ask that this our prayer be granted :

resolution in the Constitutional Conven

tend to obtain a full and fair expression
of the opinic-us and wi-he- of the fe

doubt, eminently proper:
"That the question of female suffrage
in this State .-hail be ioei.icJ by the fe
males alone ; and th right of female to

them as a separate proposition by the
County Com'mis.-ioiiei s in each eouuty in

shall be to visit each family in their pre

the proposition of female, sufirage, and
that each female shall have the privi

B 0 E.. were submitted to the Hon.
Walter 11. Smith, Assistani Attorney
Geneial, assigned for duty to this De

enclosed herewith, he holds that there
having been a .-ub-i.-ting honie.-tead on
the land when the right of the Bailroad
Company attached, that on the subsequent-
abaiidonmi ii of ihe homestead,
the land reverted to the Government and
not to the Company; and therefore it
was at the date of Boyd's application to

shou'd have been allowed.

Should the Convention determine to
strike out the clau-e in section 17 of the

the removal of the Governor on ''con

L- t us snppo-e a ca-e. A Legislature
meets and the Governor takes his t-cat
on tiie 1st of January. Tiie House of

There aio a plenty of w i'n'sscs in this

"iiuiieaching," and then adjourtjing
without a trial, was ready last winter to
be enforced and would have been carried
