The accident to the steam-r Atlantic, which suuk near Halifax, is jot simply horrible. The Captain is b'au.td by many au thorities, the company by others, and th ship pronounced unsafe by still an other party. One tbiux is certain, sach accidents thould n-1 be allowed to occur. That a new staunch ship, should go t pieces in Qfteen minutes is unaccounta ble, if she was properly built. Give as the o!d: fashioned ood n ships. Cast iron is good for stoves, but poor material to build ships of. "Another thing, there are no more sail ors now-a-days ; the time of apprentice ships has gone by ; there is do school fur educating sadors any more. Crews are picked up f'rota the riff raff and .-emu of the docks, and when a moment of great p' Til arrives they have nt ithtr the meu tal or phyMcal stamina to be of much service. Want of thorou2i discipline allows the decks to be crowded, and the operations of the seamen to be inter fered with. Taken all in all tome very severe measures must bs taken by Gov ernments to render ocean travel more secure. The Farmers' Union, of Washington county, and the traders and middlemen of Blair are having a bout io the Blair Tine. Both parties call a good many hard names. Speaking of Sergeant Bates and his flag-bearing tramp over England, the Cheyenne Leader pointedly says : "If Sergeant Bates will carry the American flag across the Sioux reservation, the people of Cheyenne will see that hi calp is sent cast by exprenn.

Gentlemen, we want au elevator on the Missouri river, down on Front street While you are forming companies for town sites, and all this sort of thing, lets have an Elevator Company in Plattsmouth. Who is the first man to Btart it don't all sppak at once. The Nebr ska Farmer is out again, Deyo & Chapin, Editors aud Proprietors. This is W. F. Chapin, formerly of Lass county. It is a fine work, contains much useful information for the farmers. If they can mak it a success it will be useful to the aericultural community. We see by the "Turf, Field and Farm," that our old friend, Ben. Akers, of Leavenworth is in trouble. The old Jennison charges are renewed and put into the shape of sworu affidavits. If Mr. Jennison 8 charges are proven true it will drive Akers from the trotting field and ppoil the chances of three of his best horses. Farmers and Grunge men, stick to your original idea, let tariffs and politi cal demasogues alone, andy-iumaydo yourselves some good. Once drop your conservative, co-operative plan, and go into any political arrangement that prom ises you success, and our word for it you will be ground between the upper and nether millstone, as to your pockets, and your rights and interests be left jim where they were be ore. Mind this, we do tell the truth now and then, if we are an editor, and we have taken a notion thnt way this morn ing. For The Herald. When you transplant trees, he sure to shorten them in. The roots should not be shortened in, but the tops sAoufd.be shortened in. ' ' . " One year-agU I transplanted large ap ple trees. Some of them eight years old, and large. I cut off the tree about fiv feet from the root, and every branch from the body. So that when planted they resembled a row of stakes. Every one of them lived, aud grew well, and now have beautif ul tops. W. S. West. As many of our brethren fthe weekly press decline an ext h .rrpe with the dai lies of (Jniftha, w would point them to the Council H'uffs Aip-'i ''. as ha best paper for news, political and buxincs matter published on the tipper Missouri. The dispatches t.f the Nonpareil are al ways free of those glaring errors so com mon in other papers, and the reports of market are attended to by competent persons. The Nonpareil can be had at any station west of this on Union Pacific at the name time Omaha papers arrive. Ourbrethren will find the change from the Omaha papers o th Nonpareil as pleasant as the change from stotry boots to comfortable slippers. J1 turnout Tub une. e have received the Turf, Field and Farm, for March 28th, and are very glad to nee its familiar faeq. tnce more The Turf, Field t and Farm contains every kind of news relative to hon-es, hunting, thoroughbred stock, theatrical Dews, the various trotting clubs, rales, tc, fcc, and is one of our most valuable exchanges, containing a vast amount of information about everything. They are in a bad fix in New York on light. All the gas laborers have "fitruck." A telegram April 6th, says : The city below Grand street is in total darkness. Orders have been sent to private consumers to turn off their gas so that the streets and public offices may be sopplied. The Stadt Theater was left in darkness in the midst of a pei formaqce, and the uewspapcr and ex press offices wore using lamps and can dles to eke out wi;h. It seems almost impossible to get the positive and true account of the hite changes in the Postal law. If, as re ported, it does away with free exchanges and free1- connty circulation, it is a blow at the weaker class of papers, and a di rest stab at the 'ree circulation of intel- igence and news among the people. It is a measure tending to increase th emoluments of the rich an 1 powerful, and retard the progress of the weak and helpless. It will cut short the means of information of the small county papers without rsally benefitting the great dai lies, bt?cau-ie, when their news sources are cut off they will become tame and less thought after. - It 6eems a foolish and useless piece of work, whatever shape the bill finally turns out to be in. . TZ22IEL3 EJ3ASTZB. The steamship Atlantic, of the White Star line, from Liverpool, March 20th, for New York, ran ashore the 2d day of April, on Meagher's Head, about twenty miles from Halifax. She bad on board ovr one thousand men, women and children. Three hundred were saved. The disaster is traced to the carrying of insufficient coal for a voyage of morethau ten or twelve days. The steamer struck about two o'clock in the morning, and Cornelius Schaller sends us a lot of Dglih papers with blue tracks all over ihem, which means, we suppose, that fhey have crossed the blua, blue deep. which few native born Nebraskians ever see. ... At all events, we got the papers, and they are full of beef beef. . Our friend Schaller is like unto Prof. Butler, with bis 10 years, at 6 percent. No matter when he begins, or bow the words look at first, it is sure to end up with cheap beef for EmjlamJ from the plains of NbTska. some cf the passengers who were re cued, afterwards perished from the e feet of fright and exposure. A large portion of the enrgo will be saved. Harrowing details of the scenes en acted on the fated ship, are given. Most of the women were drowned in their birtLs the heavy seas which con stantly poured over the vjssel, prevent ing them from reaching the deck. One woman, who rook to the rigging and was lashed there to keep from being swept away, froze to death. Ouly one child was saved, a boy of twelve years ; his parents and a young brother were drowned. Ona man was rescued with both legs broken. Many who had life buoys, by reason of their not beipg properly adjusted, were drew aed. ' . Civil Sarvica :sri Washington, D. C, April 4. There i not the slightest foundation for the a sertiou of a Liberal journal as to an abandonment or change iu the p'an adopted for civil 6ervic-.' reiorm. Ex Senator Cattell, of New Jersey, as the 6emor member of the Advisory Board, takes the pl;ce cfMr. Curtis as chair man. Mr. Josep!) liil has not inti mated atiy wi-h to resign. It is not yet known who will fill the vacancy caused bv M. Curtis' retirement, but a leading olnerii haid to-day it would be one in whom the pub'ic would bve confidence. CtOirKTlTIVE EXAMINATIONS. As to the failure to make the plau tffieiritt, it nsuy be mentioned that three members of the Treasury Examining Board are detailed to organs th- ex auiiiiing system in thu seve.nl cnsti.m-hou-es and other public off.ces of the Southern and Southwestern States. Mr. Graves, of the Treasurer's office, and Mr. Kimball, of the llvenue Bureau left for Sr. Loui to-day on this business. They wid go down the Mississippi to New Orleans, then to the several Gulf ports. .Mr. Saviile, the Chief Clerk, leaves on the 9:h inst., and will proceed as far as Mobile. Th plan to be adopted is that in u.e in the New York Custom houe SECRETARY RICHARDSON AND THE GOLD FLURRY. The Secretary uf -the Treasury contin ues still unmoved, to all appearances, by the wall street excitement. It is known that Mr. Bichardtton'g appointment was not satisfactory to many prominent Wall street operators, and it is therefore prub able that these brokers' combinations are merely intended to give trouble at th very iuceptiou of his official duties. With this understanding in view, the Government will not interfere except in accordance with its announced program me for the sale of gold and purcVisj of bonis. It is believed th;it this r rosrrato me. r?afjiiy and unflinchingly followed, will iu the vd overcome any cvmbiiiation that, may be made in Wall street, and wrdch obtaiocd b-fjre Hiehurdson' promotion. St. Louis Goe. It "is fun to see the Ooiaki Herald diddle along behind the Chicago Times and Tribune. To savt their precious railroad monopolies, these fine thinkers have suddenly promulgated the theory that it is the tariff that makes railroad freights so hith, and very coolly p.-opo se to the farmers to let up on their grievances about the discrimination on freights, and go for a r?peal of the tariff laws. Pretty shrewd move on the ptrt of the Times and tribune, and came near winning The Omaha IIehald has an article in the same strain, advising our farmers to give up their trial for cheap freights and pitch into the tariff.

He states that the veins range from three iuehea at the entrance to twenty six inches 260 feet from the mouth, and thit geological indications would show the vein to be from four to five feet thick some fifty feet deeper, and a little east. He also states that the coal is of ex cellent quality, superior to the Leaven worth coal, and to much of the Ft. Scott coal. It can be obtained at a tri fling cost, and in unlimited quantities. If this be true there is no reason why Nebraska should not be supplied with coal in a very short time at from four to Sve dollars a ton. As will be seen by our Council reports, the new Mayor and the Councilmen elect were duly in -tailed on Saturday evening last.

W e once more repeat that the lnter-Ucean has but one object m view in tins marter, ana mat is to check the dangerous and growing power of' these monopolies, and to bring them iuto subj-ction to law and justice.
