The fallacy f ought tcf le imposed up on the people Ly confounding the fcpa : tc articles with the main body of the .institution has Lccn pretty freely ex-pos-'eJ, and the people are teaming to i Kk with tu-picion upon the men who ":iave emight to mislead theni in this realtor. It is now generally known that tr-.ee separate articles were submitted :! a coneespion to the opinions of a res--ipetablc minority, without any real ex. jeaiation that they would be adopted. It was believed that it could do no par t'cular harm to allow the people to vote upon these questions, neither do we be lieve it will do harm, notwithstanding the effort made to confound these arti cles with the main body of tha con?titu tini. sirvuri.irt it iEX(E. Senators Hitchcock and Tijiton, and T!m T. Redick and Pat. O'llawe? .'-farted out to defeat the new Constitu tion. A Wg meeting was held in Omaha und the next morning Senator Hitchcock and John I. Re-dick had urgent business in Boston (notwithstanding Redick h threatened to f-peak in opposition to the Constitution in every town in the State) and (-jenator Tipton was taken suddenly ill. A few nights ago a public meeting wa? held at Lincoln, at which Fit. Pat r'trk O'Brannon O' Ilawes attempted to talk against the new Constitution, and the next morning he hrd urgent business in the direction of the national capital Wjio is next. MORE FALLACY. TIIF.TJtl.Mi ICAI.nO AO. Propositions have been submitted to the voters of the river precincts of this county asking aid in the construction of the Trunk Railroad. We have but few words to say upon the subject, a3 we be Jicve but few words are needed. There .?cms to be a Fettled conviction in the minds of the people that this line of road will not br con -trueted unless aid is rendered at least not fur many years and the only question is, would the peo ple rather ;rivc the aid than do without the road. We think they would, and we look for a nearly unanimous vote in favor of the bond in every precinct. t" the road is not built there will be no bonds issued, aril the company is re quired, by the terms of the proposition, to k'gally accept the proposition on or before the first of January next, and to complete the road to this city on or le fore the -ith day of July, 1S73. We be lieve that the people of the different precincts fully undcr.-tand the subject, and are competent to say what their preference? arc. The idea that we will get the road without aid is pretty thor oughly exploded, and we think the peo ple want the road. The way is open be fore them to get it, and we believe they will embrace ihf opportunity. IIIN'T WAST IT. The Omaha HepuUicnn has the brazen effrontery to say that the people did not want a new constitution, and sever asked for it. Has that sheet forgotten the election of only one year ago, when the almost unanimous voice of the people was heard in. favor- of a Convention? We have not the vote of the State be fore us, but the expression in favor of a Convention was so unanimous that no organized opposition was made to it, and in many places there was not a tingle vote against it. In Cass county the vote stood almost four to one in favor of a Convention, there being only about 2)0 -rotes against it ; and tho same fi'irc hold good throughout the entire State. Rrothcr Frost, are you not get ting a little reckless in your de.-iro to do feat the mw Con.-ditution ? The people did ask for a new Constitution, and they arc not "oing back cn it" now they have a good one, notwithstanding the efforts of the politicians who do not see their own glorification in this new docu ment, which was mado by the people for tlio benefit of the people, aud at the re quest of the people. The Omaha Republican attempts to areuc that the new constitution will bo an expensive document, and in doing so it exhibits the weakness of its position by assuming things which are utterly at variance with all facts. It attempts to s-how how very expensive the legislature will be, but finds that a fair estimate docs not show such a frightful airay of figures, hence it assumes that we will have sessions of 1U0 days, and will have two f(vmi;s a year- Uy this method of calculation it endeavors to frighten the people on the tax question. A paper driven to thi expe.l er.t would do wtdl to sdont the Omaha Jl-rnfd's plan and say nothing. Th? Omaha RrpaUicnn does not want c census taken except it is an expensive arrangement. No.that begins to soun more like brother Frost than his tal asainst hi"Ii salaries. e can see ii5 good reason why a census taken by as scs-ors, at a cost cf, say $"00, is not jus as good as ono taken by persons appoint ed especially for that purpose at a cost of $20.0; 0 Brother Frost always did be lieve in ext ensive things, however. Tlte liMlian. Meeting Gen. Augur, j-cstcrtiay, we made inquiry of that clliccr in respect to reported impeii'iing trouble witli ui Sioux. He stated that there was not particle of truth in the reports. Red Cloud is not only at peace, but he ha now cone North to use his influence to reconcile the discontented Minnecongue to the same nolicv. (Jen. Aueur al-o in formed us that there was not a shadow of truth in the reported attacks of the Sioux, or any other Indians, upon sur vevins parties. Will the Plattsniouth Herald pulli.-h these facts in ju-tice to ad interests r The Plattsmouth Herald publishes the abovo very readily ; but from certain other known facts we are constrained to think there is some misunderstanding in regard to what Gin. Augur actually said to the editor of the Herald. Alout the 5th of Augut, Messrs. Dougherty & Doom's party of surveyors were driven off their work by Indians, and at nncc applied to Gen. Emc-ry, at r t. Mcl Iierson, tor an escort. Lreneral Emery conferred with Gen. Augur, and on the 7th of August he sent the fol lowing dispatch to Messrs. Dougherty Doom : "Fort McPherson, Neb., 4. p. M. , Aug. 7, 1S7I. ) Dorc:ir.;;rv & Doom, Xorth Pl-itte, Xclrasfci : I am instructed to say that, as the cou'.try you with to survey is filled with Indians authorized to be there by the Indian Department, it is thought unwise to ri.-k collision with them by seniing troops there. "W. II. Emery, Col. Com. DIst." This looks very much as if Gen. Au gur thought there were Indians in that vicinity, and was fearful of a collision. Before the messenger who came after the cort returned the whole party were Iriven off the work, and on to the U. P. t. It. Another application was made or an escort, ana Lien. Augur directed Gen. Emery to furnish a company of men, and they are now with the survey- party. Mr. Dougherty arrived in this city two days since and confirms ihe pu ts of the actual hostilities of the Indians. On the 15th of August the following telegram was received from Plum creek, by Surveyor Gen. Cunningham : "We mast have an escort immediately. The Sioux are all around us, and aie troublesome. We cannot proceed far ther. When shall escort join us? "Stevenson & S locum." Noif, whether or not there is a "shad ow of truth" in these reports, we leave for others to say. Gen. Augur certainly thought there was, or he would not have instructed Gen. Emery as lie did, nei ther would behave subsequently ordered the sending of a full company of soldiers to the ful l. Perhaps the Herald ba not given the exact language of Gen. Augur. "Will the Omaha Herald publish these fact in justice to all interests?" I THE NTOC'K III.Di;tiM CL.tlSn. .Y THE HI.VO. Harisonville, Cass Co., Mo., ) September 7, IS71. J Friend Hathaway : As you doubt less ere already aware I left Plattsmouth on the 4th in.-t., 5:30 I. M., for the "sunny South." Will stato here par entis that at this 8 A. M. the genus homo is hardly comfortable with overcoat and fur lined gloves on. Had a very pleasant ride "through to Kansas City, which place I reached at 2:20 A. M. Fell in with J. O'.dhnu, Esq., soon after leaving East Neb. City s-tation, which relieved both of us from the lonely ar.d monotonous ride, we oth erwise would have experience!. Took a room together at the "Sheridan" by the way a first-class hotel. After breaking our fa.-t we strolled over the city for an hour, lookin, and listening, und post ing ourselves on the fa:-t rising metropo lis of the "Great West." It takes a stranger but a few minutes to be forcibly reminded of its va lidating streets, of seventeen different grades and various widths. Capital and man's ingenuity have been severely taxed thus fir, and it is but the beginning, to successfully ccntenl with nature in rendering this mountainous region commercially habit able. The bridge is a masterly triumph of ikill and a c-mplcto success, and the main artery that carries the life-blood of commerce into Kansas City. The jobbing houses are groaning un der new stocks of merchandise, which shows that their faith ami their icarls are in harmony. The city is full of strangers and travelers, and everything is lire, bustle and activity. Met a Kansas merchant and took the 8:50 train with him to Olatha, 22 miles distant. Found a beautiful country here good, substantial buildings fruit and f-hade trees in abundance plank side w .lks over a mile east a.-.d we (Plattsmouth i-ans stick a pin here) hundreds of home-like cottages, am. thrift everywhere. Old corn is selling at 25 to 20 cents per bushel, and iui ,vheat from 90c to $110. Took the 4:30 train for Paola Fort Scott x Gu f 11. K. 24 miles trom Olatha. In my opinion this is the most picturesque and cosy little village I have visited anvwhere in the west. Nature's oak, hickory, maple and a.-h arc inter spersed throughout the town, and stand in clumps o'er the undulating prairie.- The town is tastefully laid cut at right FROM ARRAPAHOE. Arrapaiioe, Sept. 7th 1S71. II. D. Hathaway, Dear Sir: You would doubtless like to hear more from Arrapahoe by this time, as in a former letter, I gave you a short account of our proceedings, what we had accomplished, Sec. Business is stid progressing as rapidly as cireumstan ces will admit. Wc have one house completed, and material cn the ground for two more. Have a well dug it has four feet of splendid water, tlear, cold, and nearly as soft as rain water, has a curb around it that would remind one of the olden times, when the icttf-known, but always beautiful words were com posed, by one who must hr.ve known how to appreciate nature and pure cold water. Wc are making extensive pre parations for the accommodation of rdl tho.-e who will come up to the valley for the purpose of making it their future homes. We are putting up hay as fa..-t as possible, intend to have fifteen or twenty tons at least. Geo. Fairfield aud party came in Friday afternoon, and they are now surveying our town will soon be done. Their escort of sol Jiers arrived yesterday morning, in time to save them an- imaginary evil which may befall them hereafter. We hear occasionally, through your paper, of the depredations of the Indians. Their acts '.'f cruelty and all sorts of horrors, and have been con gratulating ourselves on being so fortu nate as to leave eastern Nebraska before reason why Plattsmouth cannot be made a manufacturing city. Get the Trunk road and you will be nearer the coal fields of southern Nebraska than many of the Ohio towns are to the Pennsylvania coal beds , and your farm ruaellincry can nil be made at home, and "our money Toft there to circulate and make times better. Thcve things r.re worthy of your con sideration, and I beg of my fl-l-ow citi zens of Plattsmouth to act in the matter, and let us have no more of dull times. I have spun this out longer than I hud intended and will close bv saying that we will have a large emigration, which will soon set in. and that I believe Ne braska will this year get the lion's share of all the great we t.

Then came the thought of " bleeding Kansas!" Tha b'loody struggle the There is no stranger thing, probably, than the many quirks, twists and turns a wily politician will make to argue in fa vor of a position taken by him ; and our honored and Hon. friend. G. W. Frost, ad inten'ii editor of the Omaha Ripuf lican, 'n a champion in this line. He is out in an article endeavoring to make votes against the new constitution, cn the grounds of its expense ; and he mourns wonderfully over the high sala ries to Le paid State officials under it. This all looks very strange in the light of Mr. Frost's record upon these ques tions cf money. The writer served two sessions in the State Senate with Mr. Frost, and he was then rioted for being the only man in the Legislature who never opposed an appropriation of mon ey, and who ahanst advocated liieh sala ries for officers, and constantly found fault because of th low salaries paid our State officials. In fact it ahr.es t be came proverbial among the members that Mr. Frost tould be counted in favor of a bill if it had an appropriation in it. We do not mention this fact at this time in any spirit cf fault finding because cf Ids tendencies in favor of liberial pay ment for services icndered, but to show the great inconsistency, and consequent insincerity, of a man of such note coming out noaud arguing against the new constitution because the salaries have been raised to a point something near enough t j defray the actual expenses of the officers. It, might do for soie other man to argue in that strain; but far Mr, Frost to do so ugh ! Henry Sargent, of Waterport. New York, was driving a load of grain to bis Lam, recently, he struck one of the horses with the butt cn 1 cf the itch-fork, when the animal kicked, hit-tin- the handle of the fork, and sending he'tincs as straight as an arrow throush S.u"ent's bodv, kilbng him instantly. One of the reasons which Omaha men assign for opposing the new constitution is because corporation stock holders are mado individually liable to the full par value of their stock, after the corporate property shad have been exhausted. Let us see what there is in this great L-ug-uear wntcii tney claim is to drive capital from our midst. We give the language of the constitution. r . - ri ti ii i cec. o. stocknoiders ot all corpora tions and joint stock associations, tdialj be individualy liable for all debts of such corporation or association to the full amount of the par value of their stock after the corporate propery shall have Lecn exhausted. This is the section that men who de sire to grind the poor man into the dust would see stricken from our Constitu tion. We look upon this section as one of the glorious features of the document, in keeping with the spirit which per vades the entire iastrumeut. It is cal culated to protect the poor man from op pression by rascally sharpers, and that is why we like it. Suppose, for instance, that a half dozen men form a corpora tion, or stock company, and each one of them pays in ten per cent, of his stock subscribed (which is all that is required by law) and they commence business on that capital. They get in debt to an hundred different laborers and mechan ics, and then find the speculation is not going to pay them, and they fail. They have only lost ten per cent, of their nominal capital, and the day laborer loses the remainder. Is it any more than justice that they should be com pelled to pay the laborer and mechanic, at h a-t to the extent of the par value (that cxpres.-ed upon its face) of the stock subscribed? We are astonished that any honest men should object to so fair a provision as this in our organic law. Who is there that will say that the la borer tdmuid lose his toil, and that his family should suffer for bread, in order that li e monied aristocrat might have his ca.-h upon . which to found another swindle. Ncrr-York, nnd tha New England States together have almost one-third of the cities in th-j United State. nrch the midnight assasinations the bold, open, defiant, outlawing and perse cution the jav-hawlLing, bushwhacking droughth famine and pestilence the ravages of civil war, as closing scenes, and some of the experiences and features of Kansas in the last fifteen ears ! And now she blossoms as the rose, i'eace, prosperity and happiness are in all her beautiful and wild domain. he God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob hath brought her out of the onds and the scourge, and she is now free ! prospering Kansas ! On the f.ih inst., S:30 A. M, took the stage for llarrisonviile, Cass Co. Mo. he Osage division of the M. K. & T. '.. II. is graded through from Ilo'den, on the Pacific (of Mis ouri R. It. to 'aola, and passenger trains running out to Freeman, twenty six miles. Cars are expected to be running though to Paola within thirty days, and they lay over as termini for the winter. So at Freeman my staging ceased, and thj- cars were specially welcomed again. It may not be out of place to here state wtiat 5-our county namesake lias done for railroads. For county aid the power lies in the county court, eonsist- ug of three judges. This board issued bonds in aid of the Kansas City branch of Tabor and Kenoha It. It., three hundred thousand dollars ! The people by townships voted two hundred thous and dollars to the Lexington & Gulf It. It., and one hundred thousand dollars to the Osage Division of the Pacific U. It , making six hundred thousand dollars for this county! The people here we and know the advantages of railroads and give them hearty support. It stiikes me that Cass county, Nebraska would act the wise part, by promptly voting the one hundred thousand dollars asked in aid of the Joy or Atchison and Ne- T T. 1-1 braska it. it. it win readily be seen. that the proportion is much less, than what has been given here in Mo. Awoke about midnight with a chill ! No, no not an old fashoned ague chill, but one old Boreas sent down this way. To premise a little, the good people here in II. lack one very essential feature to a praiseworthy town, viz : one or more good hotels. My hotel, last uicht, eonsi-tcd of a one-and-a-half story, twenty years old rambliug, wooden structure a regular tumble-down, plas tering half off, floor dancing a jig in mitation of old ocean in moderate swells. Literally and truthfully, my bed was a wonderful contrivance a straw tick of about enough material to starve a sickly chap in one night, and a show of feathers well, I'd pity the poo.-e they came from at one picking! Consequently the Cottonwood slats were quite barren, and lay about as evenhy as ii new western corduroy bridge. The covering was a piece of bleached muslin fir under sheet, no over sheet, but in lieu of sheet, blanket and comfort, noth ing but an old, plaid shawl ! So when iwoke me 1 leaped out and the Indians became troublesome. We suppose that must be the center of diffi culty, as the Indians in this vicinity are all at peace yet, so far as we can learn. We do not think there is any more danger here than in any part of the State, and wc invite all who wish to come west, to come and look at this part of Nebra.-ka. There is land enough for all, and plenty of good chums. We hope the good and noble will come and secure them. If each one who comes will bring only his virtues and bury ice and folly, we can have society at once on a grander, nobler foundation than is usual in a new country And why not? Surely a country so pure and free as this ought to encourage everything noble and true and discourage vice in all its forms. This county is settling up ven fast. Four months ago there were but two ae tual setlers, now there are more than thirty. We hive just learned that be tween thirty and fifty families arc com ing frcui Chcvcnne. Wood r.nd water are so much of an object in this country that every one who hears of this Valley and its abundance ot timber and water are getting anxious to come and secure a claim where so many natural advanta ges are to be obtaiaed.

An unlucky detention of the ten o'clock train Weduesday prevented my reaching Lincoln in time for Acting Gov. James" address to Chancellor Benton, accompa nying his delivery to him, in behalf of the State, the keys of the University. But every one sai l this part of the ser vice was a bore, from the fact that the Gov. could not be heard by a dozen in in tho house. I also lost all but the closing five min utes of tho Chancellor's inaugural which every oih; pronounced very able, schol aily and appropriate. His general theme, as I gatheiedit, was "University work, its need ana condition in tnis country." He drew a contrast between the American and European University system.

J Friend Hataaway : I promised you a letter again after my visit to Chi cago, and here it is. I left Chicago via M. S. & Lake Shore 11, 11., in one of the fine Palace Wagner cars which run on that line, and my opinion is that they are as much better and finer than Pull man's as Pullman's is better than the old style of sleepers. I found the Michi gan Southern & Lake Shore It. B. one id' the smoothest I ever rode over ; and as we swept away over it at the rate of forty miles per hour, not the least jar was perceptible. After arriving at To ledo I hunted up seme old friends and acquaintances, who showed me around that fine city. My recollections were as I used to know it (in 1800), an immense swamp or big mud hole, wjth a few houses growing out. Now I find a mag nificent city, with fine bu-iness houses and palatial residences, well paved streets and a thriving peopla. I went to see "Nasby ;" I found him, and al though not very funny to look at and talk to he is an agreeable a d courteous gentleman, who shows by his physique that he knows how to live and enjoy the good things of earth, which he does. The people here are talking much, of Ne-bra-ka. and many will come out this fall. A short time ago I had occasion to vi-it Pittsburg. Pa., in connection with the duties of my office, viz: arranging with the Pittsburgh, F.rt Wayne & Chicago Bailroad for cheap rates of fare for colo nists, and passed through Man-field, Al liance, Marion and other manufacturing towns in Ohio, and at each one of them I could ce platform cars loaded with farm machinery destined for the west and I could not help but think how much better it would be if I could persuade some of these skilled workmen to come to Nebraska, where they could not only get themselves farms but start manufac tories in our own State. Just think ! our farmers now pay a large price for these same machines, and an enormous freight bill for railroad transportion on them of all the way from 800 to 1000 miles. This money comes, very much of it, froui Cass county, and I would say to capitalists at Plattsmouth, gentle men, we want Manufactories as badly as J we do railroads, nod there is no eirthly it is conformed to our popular ideas, it is practical in its designs. In Europe it is for the Aristocracy in harmony with their class .distinctions and ideas. The University here is a Congress of colleges de.-igned to take our youth as they leave our high schools, and furnish them with the higher culture so many now seek. It is broad in its basis and plan. It pro poses to cive its pupils that training: which is in the line of their natural gift and chosen cauinjr. It one student n-is the gifts and the aim calling for it, a col leco of fine arts invites him. If another teems with rea' aptitudes to practical science, mechanics and civil engineering he can find his training school in th University. Ifanother aspires to tho science of Agriculture, an agricukura college invites him. Law and Medicines both have their departments. The in- Lttntion is to bring out what is original in the man or woman, and not as has been the fault of too many of our colleges try to mold every one to the ainc pattern The Chancellor read letters from Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton of Ohio and Ira May hew, a distinguished educator of Michi gan, expressing surpri-e that Nebraska hal built so grandly, so young. The Chancellor's address was received with great enthusiasm and without qualifica tion. Tho more he is seen the more does ho grow into confidence rnd sympa thy with people. II is opening Thursday morning to the hundred students who had gathered lor the urst class in tne Univer.-ity, was very cordial and sympa thetic and idaced him at once in the most coi dial relation's of affection and in terest with his pupils. I think he won t lie hearts of all at once. The University starts off under better auspices than anything of its kind has started under bit ore in this country. Somebody deserves very high prai-e for wise management in this whole matter. Indeed the entire management of the school fund of this State reflects the highest honor on somebody who had the foresight to secure a law forbidding the sale of our school lan Is for less than even dollars an acre. That law and the manor men who originated it nas saved to the common school fund and tiio Uni versity fund of our State probably ten million dollars. Let us find that man and make him Governor. I see but two practical difficulties in the way of a grand success for the Uni versity. Cheap rooms and board must be in some way furnished tho students. J I'he Univer.-ity is for the people. But how are poor men's sons and daughters to avail themselves of its advantages if they have to pay five dollars a week for board? The second want of the Uni- versit-, is the want of high-schools over ill the State as feeders. I never felt before as now the mistake of Platts mouth. We must hasten to rectify it or fill far in the rear of all the large towns in the State. Even Ashland is getting ahead of us. These two wants of the University supplied, cheap rooms and board for the students, and High Schools for feeders. and it will not be long; ere there will be five hundred students. Michigan Uni versify that had less than 100, after had been' in operation ten years, now has 120. Wc will beat that. Time does not allow mc to speak of Hon. Mr. Morton's very fine address in the evening. His them2 wa3 the "Di nity and importance of the teachers' work." He demanded compulsory edu- ca ion as a want of the American people Please correct in your notice of my singing class the terms for ladies. You say five doll irs, I say two.
