Saa Francisco wai brecdius a scab on
TYo Itavo been aaked over and over
agrdft "What has becomo-of the Trunk
Road?"
Parsorta of soma intelligence -and
whom we should suppose would have
a littlo idoa of how such matters are
worked up, say to us with the most
desponding air: "Well, tho Trunk road
has gone up," or "Well, I suppose the
Trunk road business is all ended."
"Why do ycra -suppose eo," we quietly
ask?
"Oh, "because they ain't doing any
thing at itwe don't see any men at
work;" or we don't hear anything
f.bout it nowadays, and we voted the
bonds way last falL"
That's true. There isn't a single
spade or shovel at work on the line
that we know of and for that matter
there isn't a single bond sold and yet
the work is going on. Jien are trying
to sell the33 bonds, to get more stock
subscribed, to find other and better par
ties to take an interest in the same;
for please do bear in inind, you impa
tient ones, that it takes money to build
railroads hard cash or real greenbacks
not pieces of paper promising to pay
greenbacks or cash at some future day.
So many persons seem to think that
the mere voting of bonds insures a rail-
Toad at once ; we vote bonds to-day and
to-morrow Patrick O'Flanigan is sing
ing "Working on the railroad at forty
cents a day,"" with a gang of merry
boj-s at his heels.
Such :3 not the case any more than
it is possible, when you have worried
up a good article Mr. Farmer, on the
crops, &c. for the Herald, and bring
it in on Tuesday, or maybe "Wednesday
late, and say, "Now, Mr. Editor, I want
that in this week's paper, sure." You
have done your work, and done it well,
perhaps, but now ours comes in ; 30,000
little pieces of lead have to be handled,
proofs struck, corrections made, and so
on, until next week comes round, and
then, but not till then, can your article
on "crops" appear.
Xow, the bonds are voted, and some
stock taken, and sharp, shrewd men, are
trying to make them pan out into bars
of iron and square chunks of wood,
and elbow grease, and dirt, to build a
railroad, and if they had not more
faith tmd courage and patience, and
above ail "perseverance, than you have,
most assuredly the Trunk road never
would be built.
STOKES.
Speaking of the talk around the
Court House in Xew York City, when
the decision of the Court of Appeals
was made known in the Stokes case, an
exchange says : "When attention was
called to the points upon which the de
cision ef the Court of Appeals was
based they seemed anxious to abandon
the decision : not because they regard
ed tlrfte points of sufficient importance
to lead to such results, but, said they:
"It is there the whole trouble lies. If
a man like Stokes, with no defense,
takes the law into his own hand, and,
killing his adversary, finds lawyers
read' to present for him a defense
which has so much weight at law, then
another man may do the same, 'arid in
time everybody having a real or fancied
injury will kill his man at ght.'
From the general talk one could readi
ly gather that the true work of justice
had been impeded by the decision tf
the Court of Appeal, howeveT sound
it may be in law.'
Yes, right there does lie the evil.
When lawyers are educated once more
to think it dishonorable to protect
thieves and murderers from the pun
ishment of their crimes, and when
Judges are sternly rebuked by the ieo
ple, and impeached for delaying and
retarding justice, we shall ca.-i.sc to read
two or -three columns of criminal hor
rors in each morning's paper. One of
the first steps to prevent crime, we be
lieve, is to so revolutionize society, that
no lawyers will Ik? found standing ready
to make any defense for the criminal,
further than to see that he has a fair,
impartial hearing, unless they are wil
ling to forfeit their claim to social re
cognition as gentlemen and good citi
zens, and are willing to be classed
with the outlaws they help protect.
Do this, Messrs. reformers, and you
will have made one great step in ad
vance. THE 310 DOC CASE.
Lawyers' Complications.
"No plainer case could be made out
than 'that of the Modoc prisoners.
Geiu-Pavisstates the case f airly, square
lv. They had violated their treat v.
killed numbers at white citizens,
slaughtered a Peace Commissioner and
I army officer while under a llag of truce,
and were taken with arms iu their
hands. It would seem as if a child ten
years 'eld cctild tell at once what dispo
sal to make of them. Viewed from a
civil or a military point, "they deserve
death, or else wipe out aU-statutts
against the crime of murder.
Gen. Davis did know and prepared
to me that knowledge in a way that
would have been a lesson to Indians
for years to come. When the old gran
nies and lawyers at Washington must
sik-k their finger in the pie.
Hold on, don't hurt the poor Modocs,
jr.st yet, they telegraph, and other des
patches te!l us that the Attorney Gen
eral and thp whole Cabinet has been i
called in to decide what shall be done
j with Capt. Jack and his tribe. The
lawyers of course tfon't know whether
he rim be tried by aivil or military
tribunal, until they look up some musty
old precedent and find out whether
King James; of England, hung men by
civil or military law.
If the old telegraph had broken
down, Gen. Davis would have saved
them that trouble.
'The case never contained any ele
ments of doubt, and a Police Justice of
any town, of the size of Plattsmouth,
even; coiUd have decided at once the
.jurisdiction and the'punishuient.
:It makes no difference now hat dis-i-rfbsal
the- Government makes of -these
!&Iodee, "bother they turn them h?vsc
or hang than by civil or military edict,
the vhole moral force of a prompt and
righteous punishment for crime is kfc
upon them, and every Indian in tho
land feel3 contempt for a government
that dare not protect its citizens nor
punish its enemies. This is just the
way they look at it. We do not know
how General Davis feels, but we should
feel decidedly like resigning a commis
sion that only made us act th3 baby.
II0W A BIG NEWSPAPER LOOKS AT
CAPTAIN JACK'S CASE.
The 2sew York Graphic has this
splendid piece -of editorial logic in a
late issue:
"Canby was murdered in retaliation
for the taurder of Captain Jack's fatk
er and a large number of the Modocs
at a peace meeting to which they were
invited by Captain Wright. But why
put in this plea? California fend Or
egon demand vengeance. They are
strong and the Modocs weak. It's only
a few red devils more or less. Pull tho
rope, and let their carcasses swing in
the June sunshine, as another proof
that might is right."
This only shows that just as many
fools edit big newspapers as little ones.
To begin with, the Captain Wrights
story has been exploded shown over
and over again that Wright had no
connection with tho government, and
that he was called out by the citizens
to protect themselves and emigrants
from being murdered and plundered
by these very Indians. Neither Wright
nor any of the men then with him are
now living in that vicinity. J he whole
slery is fitlse. Capt. Wright never in
vited the Indians to a peace meeting;
when tliey got -cornered and were likely
to be whipped they wanted to talk
peace just a3 tlrey always do. A great
paper like the Graphic ought to be
ashamed to publish such worn out
trash. Suppose we follow up the logic.
Capt. Wright murdered some Mdocs
over twenty years ago'; ergo. Captain
Jack is justified in murdering three in
nocent men who never killed a Modoc
then or now who never heard of
Wright and who are invited to a
peace talk by Capt. Jack.
If that logic is good we might as well
go up and clean out the Omahas or
Pawnees in Nebraska at once. They
have both killed plenty of whites less
than twenty years ago and we can
find forty men in Cass county who
have had relatives and friends mur
dered by Indians somewhere at some
time. Let's have satisfaction on any
Indians we can find that's the Graph
ic Logic.

As stated in another item" in this p.i
per the new uniforms for our new Fire
Company have arrived, and the Engine
is on the road.
It is proposed to "have everything in
readiness by the Fourth of July, when
a grand parade may be expected.
It is to be hoped that all our better
citizens will heartily and cordially sup
port and encourage the formation of a
No. 1 Fire department for this city.
We need one, "but it must be a good one,
and it must not be left to full into the
hands of the idle or vicious (supposing
we ever have such a class). It can
only become an honor and protection
to our citizens by their taking hold of
the matter in downright earnest and
keeping' if on good footing.
We do not mean that these steps
towards a Fire Department shall, end
in red shirts, glazed hats and tom-fool
speeeches. We want it to be of real
use to our citizens in keeping them or
ganized for protection, in reducing our
present exorbitant Insurance rates,
and that we may lie enabled to save
the good buildings of the town, should
there ever come a fire of any magni

A judicial Decision Against Tight
Shoes.
The several millions of tortured and
oo'm-amicted people in this country
should read this paragraph and forever
after bear the name of Humphreys in
grateful recollection. Humphreys is
a Judge at the City of Washington, in
tiwj "District of Columbia. Before hiia
'came as rparty plaintiff a shoemaker,
and asked .judgment against a man for
whom lie made a pair of shoes. Came
also the defendant and made aliswer
that the said shoe3 did not lit. As to
the issue which was joiued on tho aver
ment of the defendant, the shoes were
the best witnesses, and they were
brought into court and placed upon tho
feet of the defendant. That they
would go on is a fact that would s'eni
to have militated somewhat against
the theory of the defense; but the de
fendant swore that, being on, the shoes
made existence insufferable. Then it
was that Humphreys uttered the great
principal that should make his name
immortal: He said, in substance, that
tight shoes were a torture that no free
man should be required to endure, and
that when a shoeioaker fails to consult
the comfort of hiatron, the latter is
under "no obligations to pay for the
work. Judgment for the defendant.
And yet the President hesitates as to
who should be made Chief Justice!
We go in for that Judge every time.
G3EAT EXCITEMENT AT FRANKLIN.

There were several very amusing
scenes in the proceedings of the court,

The old War Horse stamped and
foamed, and champed the bits fearful

a cent. I don't really think the old
horse had a bit of hair left on his head
after he got cooled off. He swears he
will never go to the Republican again.
Now, my friends, there is a good
opening at Franklin, in Franklin
county, in reacli of all, at present, but
it will not be that way long, for it is
going to be one of the finest towns in
the West: A good farming country all
around well watered, timbered, and
well settled, with nothing to retard its
onward progress. Those wanting to in
vest in or grow with a new town,
will do well to give this matter a

In his addresss to a convention of

T. Martin, formerly of the Springfield
(O.) Adcertiszr, tfi'A. some truths about
the partisan press which Me.ssr-j. Reid
and Wattcrson, in their journalistic
lectures, had forgotten to mention.
Said he: "There is not an editor hero
or elsewhere who is not writhing in
chains, who does not daily choke back
sentiments of an honest heart from
fear or favor. This is a bitter truth,
but none the less truth. The otfal that
is thrown to you, in the shape cf coun
ty printing, buys your silence, just as
tlie midnight burglar buys the silence
that is thrown to it. Neither can bark ;
their mouths are full. You ride free
to this convention over the railroad of
a corporation notorious for bad man
agement. A complimentary to the
theatre is tha paltry price paid for an
unfaithful and untrue critique of the
performance, and you sell yourself,
indy and soul for an iufmitesimully
less sum than Judas received for the
betrayal of his M ister. The public
contracts, for which the exhorbitant
bid of a favorite on hlim security is
preferred to the conscientious bid of a i
master workman, id not exposed by the
journal .that advertises the bids. The
rival over the way lupins the howl.

you are a member of thorinsr. You

and inform her that she (his wife; had
changed her mind, and would have the
watered silk made up instead of the
loplin, and that M if she thinks it would
look, better with bias flounces without
puniii. andlKx-ilated beyond the equa
tor, which should be gathered in hem
stitched gudgeons up and -down - the
seams, with a gusset stitch ltd ween,
she can make-it up that way, instead of
iiluting the bobinet insertion and pier
ing out with point applique, as I sug
gested yesterday." The man is now a
raving "maniac:

York with a view of makiii prepara
tions for eatalishing a Jewish colony in
Nebraska. Tho locality they are said
-to have selected for this purpose was
routh of Lincoln, tho capital of tho
State, in a fertile region, well timbered
and watered. The New York Israel
ites have formed an association to as
sist their coreligionists when they land
on our shores, and to see that they are
not imposed upon. The present inten
tion is, that the Roumanian Jews will
come by way of Amsterdam in conve
nient parties, until the whole of them
50,000 souls have emigrated. Inter
Ocean.
How impossible it is to please, every
body is again shown by the Virginia
foiiinI:iints that Grant' annointeea
there include so many ex-Confederates, (
and also so few colored citizens. In
Louisiana the -complaints are of the op
posite kind. Even in Virginia the
Democratic soul is in agony because of
Republican and colored officials.
What is Mr. President to do V He will
probably pursue the even tenor of his
way, leaving facts and time to vindi
cate both his fidelity to Republicanism
and his patriotic liberalism. Inter
Ocean. It's the old story of the man and his
boy and the Jackass going to market.
The moment a man tries to please
everybody he pleases no one. The
Republican party, as a rule, has
been the most generous party in the
distribution of patronage that history
has ever recorded, if giving places to
enemies is generosit'.
'Tis a funny idea that has lately been
conceived in New York City, to effect
a substitution of some better system
for the nuisance we might almost say
in their case of horse cars. It is to
have a moving sidewalk, something
like an endless chain, on which one
can imagine he is walking to his place
business, while, really, lie is riding
there. The walk is to move upward
one side. It will go at the rate of ten
or im:e miles in an hour, (if the plan
is fulfilled and it goes at all and
would be no inconsiderable institution
among the wonders of the world. We
wait in expectancy for further
developments. EA.
