Thc State is about to lose some of her
most valuable caliue lands unless some
body takes it in hand to see that her in
terests are protected. As we have be
fore Mated, a new hearing was had at
he Lincoln Land Office recently in the
of Moiton vs. the State of Netras
lA, wherein the title to the mo?t valua
ble .suit sprines is in controversy, and
there was no appearance made on be
half of the b'tate- Morton had the
ihir.s a'l li'J wn wa-v' ar,fl thc cviJcnce
his been suit on to Washington all on
Mnton's side, without a single item to
how that the state has any valid claim
i:, f-ict, i: would seem, at thc depart
ment, that the State has abandoned all
..'aim. Why is this, thu.dy, and why has
not acting Governor James and Attor
ney Gcnrral Huberts attended to their
Jury? While we arc aware that the
m-inners of the Constitutional Conven
tion have no iiht, as such members, to
interfere in this matter, yet we call upon
f h.-n prominent citizens of the Mate
men who have the interests of the
State to some extent in their keeping
t. look :.fter this matter before they
leave Litieohi and go h?;ne. We call
upon such men as Judges Mason, Lake
and Waloly, Gen. Strie'-land, Hon. J.
K. lioyd, Hon. V. J. MtCann, Gen.
r-t;broi-k, Gen. Robinson, Hon. Saui'l
Maxwell. Hon. i?. M. Kiikpatriek, and
others who are acquainted with thc ina-

I heir business to know r.? it is that the

There are not probably, very many
people in this State who fully compre
hend the nature of the steal being made
from this State by J. Sterling Morton &
Co., and which, it U gravely surmised,
some of our present State officials are
assisting. The following seems to be a
few of the principal facts : The man
who surveyed the tract of ground in
which are located the Great Salt Spring
of Nebraska, returned his field notes to
the Surveyor General's office where
they are yet on file showing that these
lands were saline, and abound in springs
from which flowed brine o'great strength.
The records of the Surveyor General's
omce show that the descriptive lists, in
accordance witli these field notes, were
made out and sent to tli2 Land O Jic?,
but no such lists were to be found in the
Land Office in a short time afterwards.
Andrew Hopkins was Register of the
Land oiEce at that time, and Andrew
Hopkins is a partner of Morton's in the
Saline Itinrt. The land as entered in
the name of Woi. Prey (either Win. or
John), which said 1'rey was a farmhand
fur J. Sterling Morton at a small salary
per month. At the time these lands
were entered there were millions of aores
of fine agricultural lands subject to en
try all over the State, and even within
five miles of Nebraska City, where this
man Prey labored on Morton's farm.
Why did he, under Morton's direction,
go sixty mil beyond the settlements at
that time, and select a tract of land
which is not to-d ty, and never was,
worth ten cents an acre for firming
land, if his master did not know that it
was Saline land and would some day be
valuable ; and how did Morton know of
its value except by the field notes sent
to thc Land Office where his present
partner who never paid a dollar for his
interest, any more than did Morton
was Register, and thc sworn officer of
the government. Another thing : these
(. never conf.i hare been entcretl fy
any one had these dccrijttiie lixts hecn re
iwrted to the Dipnrtment of the Interior,
as it was the sworn duty of both the
Surveyor General (Caihoun) and thc
Piegistcr of the Land Office (Mr. Mor
ton's precnt part net ) to do. Does it
becin to look as if there was frau 1 there?
Why is it that the acting Governor of
this State, and the Attorney General of
this State (who is said to be in the em
ploy of Morton in this very case) do not
take steps to protect thc interests of the
State. Why were they not at the Lincoln
Land office at the time appointed for the
recent hearing, and why do they not
take steps to have the facts in this case
properly presented before the Depait
merit at Washington ? The people are
asking these question?, and it may not
be well for these ge ntleman to pavsthem
by wiih a sneer. We call upon Hitch
cock and Senator Tiptoa and Represent
ative Taffe to take some steps before the
Department to stay the decision in thi?
casc until the side of the State can be
! heard.

The fashion of pyramidal, ca-te'l ited
or curvilinear designs lor thc feminine
heads has reached such a pitch that the
arti-ts who undertake the building of
the structure are c impeded to put out
of the way I he natural covering altogeth
er; and, in fact, would preter to work
upon a pate as bald as that id' a coot.
It is the practice with many ladies to
contract with a firm by the twelvemonth
for the inspection and decoration of their
polls; And while the female head is
thus exhibiting a relapse into thc cauli
flower period, the male scone is being
denuded of its hirsute possessions by
a custom for which it is difficult to find
a precedent. Our young men are shorn
like convicts or prize-tighters. They
look often as if they had only just recov
ered fiom an attack of brain fever, or
IVoiii serving out a term of hard labor
at Pentonvill There may be something
to be said for this practice. It is, per
haps, more nece:sarv that gentlemen
should have their heads cool than la
dies. We have no Cavaliers amongst
us, we are all Crophcads In the days
of Charles 1 1 the ladies wore a peculiar
kind of a curl called a "heart-breaker. '
In our time we have the sex plaiting a
similar peice of fusciation which bancs
over or behind thc shoulder in the
graceful form of a pigtail, and this we
believe is known in certa n circles as a
"follow-me lads." But in the Restora
tion era the men were as proud of their
hair as of their politics, and quiu as
vain of its length and abundance as the
women. Poets, novelist and dramatists
have rung innumerable changes on the
lock of hair, but now-a-days unless a
gentleman saves tome f rom a barber, or
permits a patch to grow for the purpo.-e,
he would find it dillieult to p eseiit a la
dj with anything to speak of as a hair
relic. On the other bund, a feminine
favor of tho kind must be regarded, to
say the least of it, with suspicion.
For a period of nearly five months past
the coffee trade of New York C.ty has
been in an unusually and even remarka
bly dull and sluggish condition, business
dragging along from da to day and lVom
week, with the sales confined to the
unallest possible amounts with which the
jobbers could manage to meet au ex
tremely distributive call, and bujers gen
erally showing a very CHiitious and in
different spirit. The stock in the coun
try in first hands embraces 172,T'.0 hags.
We dislike to mention little thinge,
but there is a petty swindle being daily
perpetrated at thc State House, under
the administration of his Acting Excel
lency, that for the honor of the State,
we are constrained to calJ attention to.
It is the charging of a dollar to parties
entitled to deeds to lots or lauds, before
the deed is issued. If a lee must be
paid to a salaried officer for issuing a
deed, for the sake of decency 1 t the
usage of all-time be followed, and let
the State which is the grantor, pay it
the same as an individual. This prac
tice is an invention of the present ai
rninistration, and to the numerous pur
chasers of State property, many of whom
live in other States, it presents a very
small and picayunish phase of official
swindling.
It is needless to add that the frand has
no stafatory anct'on. Jrvrvai.

Never, perhaps in the history of our
State has been witnessed so many im
migrants landing on our soil, as the pres
ent season. Daily, fiom early spring un
til now, have the streets of oar city, and
the streets of every city in the" State,
been l.ncd with immigrant wagons, and
still will it be the case until winter puts
a check to it Nebraska seems to be the
favorite spot, and many new homes may
be set n here and there over our broad
plains. Tharc must be some cause for
this st. me inducement that creates a
likinsr to our cmbryotie, yet rich and
blooming fields. An encouraging letter
from some one in this region to an cas ern
friend- containing vivid descriptions
and highly colored paintings of the many
beauties and advantages of our Stale,
may have induced him to exchange an
eastern home for a western; yet all this
inducing him to come among us is not
substantial enough to cause him to re
main. The pen fails to describe, and
language to express, the worth of a
country so glorious as ours. The immi
grant's coming is at first simply to see
for hitn-elf, and to satisfy his mind, by
so doing, in regard to the countless flat
tering reports afloat about our State.
Nine ca.-es in every ten the seeker ex
presses himself highly pleased with what
he has seen, declares that the half has
not been toll, and concludes to make it
his permanent home. Yet, withal there
are a few quidnunc individuals whur-c
heart's, delight is to misrepre ent and
discourage. They p cture Nebraska to
our eastern friends as being a Stale in
habited mostly by hostile Indians, specu
lators, etc., destitute of manufacturing
facilities educational advantages, and
moral, social, anh religious iiifbu-nccs.
Many of our Ivitern journals, who-e
editor's fear los of patronage, follow
suit, presenting to the view of their
readers pictures by their own p n of a
savage, illiterate West, that the disuu
sion thus effected may cau-e their read j
urs to not attempt, or even think, of im
migrating hither. The time was wh-'ii
"blood-and-thunder" stories about Indi
an cruelties, and speculating intrigueries.
etc., et:, in the we-t might have been
applicable, and, in a measure, true ; but
that time Iris long since pa-sed. There is
no more cau-e for such stoi ics especially
of Nebraska. Nebraska is no more a
barren wilderness a savage j lain a
Saharaa a sparsely settled lm-1, or such j
as it was not many years ago deemed ; ;
but, instead, a State a densely popu
lated State The "Great Ameiiean
Desert," which only existed on maps
hung up in sch'-ol-roonis, is numbeied
with the "things that were." Tlurei.
not, and never was, such a descit in Ne
braska. Here and there a band of Indi
ans is fouud in our State, but they are
civilized and peac.ible. Our Stato is no
more sparsely settled, for all over it are
towns and cities and spacious dwellings.
While we would not dictate, we would
suggest, that more unanimity of letting
be expressed by the press of the State in
regard to the encouragement and invita
tion of immigration to NKHRASKA.
One section cr locality is not the whole
State, by any means. We should not
pride ourselves in tlrnkiiig that our
town, or our locality i- Nebraska. Ou
section of the State is as pood as anoth
er we claim m difference. En our-
ge emigration to the STA1E, and
when the emigrant lias lar.dtd on oui
soil let him choose for himself where be
will abide. A liberality ct sphit in t hi-
respect wiil do more to cause the. immi
grant to settle in our State than can be
imagined. Telling the iuimigr;;nt that
here is the place to settle, an 1 the. place,
and that th country everywhere eUe
around is "alKali"' or "desert, " at once
cau.-es him to su-pici. 'ii something "roi
ten." This game, lnAV-ver. is practiced
more by "land-.-haiW a ci i-s cf men
who could "steal the i q. per cents, ' etc'
etc , without the least -compunction of
con cience. We say the press of the
State has much to do with pupuiati g if ;
anil a right cour. e ur- ued will hud, in a
few years, the region of country aloiii
the Republican river as thickly set lied
b3' industrious people as is the country
along the Missouri. The cour-e to be
pursued is: Do away witli sectional
l'Jeas thoughts that one lown, or pJ
locality of the State is better than an
other ; but encourage eniiiir ni 'ii to NE
BRASKA. There ismueh to encourage
emigration hither. Under the home
stead and pre-emption laws, land can be
had for a pittance, and the owner can
have the privilege and plcasuie of calling
it his own. "trc every one can be a
Land Lord if he will tenants need not
bo known. There is no law here saying,
"slave, be ameniable unto your muster,"
or words to that effect.
We have good school.- ;i State Uni
versity, Colleces, Seminaries Acade
mies, High Schools. But few States
can boast a better r.vsteui of education,
or more thorough educators; each school
h is the nucieu-, and Faculty, that might
be desired by even the most a-piiiug and
progressive students ; and our system of
examining teachers, and awarding cer
tificates to the same, is one that is cal
culated to keep education at a high
standard stringent, but thorough in all
respects. No one desiring to immigrate
to our State need have fears that their
children would be deprived of finishing
their education by leaving eastern schools
and coming here.
The State is being webbed over with

The Lincoln Journal has the following
in relation to the Salt Land Steal, in
response to our call for it to teli what it
knew of the part performed by acting
Gov. James and Attorney General Rob
erts :
The Plattsmouth Herald want us to
tell where the acting Governor and the
Attorney General where when J. Ster
ling Morton "proved up" the other day
at the Lincoln land ofhec on the salt
basin.' We can't answer that question.
They are both somewhat noted as itine
rants, but if they weren't, it would not
matter much where they were. The first
official act of the Attorney General, of
which we arc cognizant, was his appear
ance at our office the morning that Mor
ton was arrested at the basin, to ask us not
to publish the fact that he was with Ster
ling, that night, and jointly occupied Mr.
Green's house, and also to request that
the Journal shouldn't mention the whis
key captured by the sheriff, which he
claimed was his own individual part of
the "stores"' thire laid in. The last time
we ever heard of him was the night prior
to the election last June when he annihi
lated the Journal down at the Academy of
Minstrelsy, being on that occasion the
big gun of "ye people's outfit which got
scooped the next day. Further the de
ponent saith not.
And again:.
We can only state in response to tho
request of the Plattsmouth Herald for
light on the saline question, that ex-Attorney
General Robinson filed, prior to
the expiration of his term of office, an
affidavit for the continuance of the case
in the land office, on account of an im
portant witness having been spirited
sway. The other day when it came up
the State male no appearance, no testi
ruony was introduced for the State, the
hinds were not even proven to be saline
I nt Is and everything went lovely for the
distinguished manipulator, Mr. Morton.
Here we have fresh light upon this
transaction. The Attorney General of
the State going to a prominent journalist
and requesting him to not mention the
1'aet that he, the sworn guardian of the
legal interests of tho State, was found
housed with the man who was trying to
rob the State of her inheritance, and
that, too, under thc most suspicious cir
cumstances. This gives stronger color
to the rumor that the Attorney Genera'
had been bought up by Morton and his
partners. Who is thc next man on the
witness stand ? Will Geo. L. Miller take
a '"fifteen minute" swear, and tell us
"what he knows" about the saline land
steal ?

Dear Hkrald : With us "the har
vest is passed, and the summer is (nearly)
ended," but we cannot continue the quo
tation ; but wish to say that "every pros
pect pleases " and right here we omit
the latter clause of that verse.
Wheat was slightly injured by rust,
and chinch bugs. Oats and barly are
generally good ; corn was never better.
Your 'Fitz' is giving the railroad 'fits'
the grading is finished out west; bridge
building and track laying is progressing
in range 2 west.
By thc way we have just baen exam
ining our attempts to assist nature, or
rather, force her. to produce prodigies,
by adding fertilizers to the soil, and we
find that we get by the operation all stalk
and no fruit. The sod is too rich already
for many kinds of crops, I believe and
found that belief upon three years experience-
that when the soil is reduced to
a certain condition it will produce larger
crops than in its present state. The
time may come when manure will bene
fit our bottom lands but not in my day,
or yours.
Permetrn? to suggest that your Platts
mouth is overdoing the giain trade.
You are aware that Ad uns, Webster,
Lincoln and Grant counties have been
scttlcing very fast this season ; and still
they come. Besides tle, Hamilton,
Clay, York and Fillmore have had aa in
crease in population and edock that we
cannot supply with grain, and thc former
counties have no grub excepting buffalo,
Would it not be we'd to hold a little and
and ihip west on the B & M. when fin
ished (which will be just when the grain
will be wanted.)
You "Fa-tern men" get up quite an
excitement in the papers, over t lie blow
you had along the Platte and old Muddy
the other day; Wednesday the 2Gth.
We had a regular 'nor easter, with rain
and hail that made things get up and
dust, you bet; though no particular dam
age was done, excepting the overturning
and demolishing some dozen lumber hous
es ; about four or five log and sod sh in
ties. It's and ill wind that blows no
good to any body;" the rain drove thro"
nnd through nearly every grain' stack in
this part of the country, and the wind
spread the stacks out most beautifully,
to dry, you know. Take it a'l togeth
er it was a nice time for young turkeys
and poor calves, ours are all laid up for
the holidays. No human lives were lost
though Fillmore is so thickly settled that
we would scarcely miss two or three If
another such a blow comes into Fillmore
county we intend to move for an Im
peachment. In regard to the arrival of thc Herald
at our '"dug out;" it puts us" in mind of
a passage in the good book ; "Tho fir-t
shall be last and the last shall be fir.-t;"
and again 44 now you sec it, and now
you don, t." We have had several cop

and dirty enough to arow white beans
upon. But don't understand us as find
