Franklin Cocntt, ) RErrrsLiCAX Valley, June c, 73. j ; lDiTOit Herald Sir: Probably a word from this part of the country would in no wise "be unwelcome to you and your readers; especially such of theai as Lave an idea of shifting their present abode. For such thi3 letter is intended, that they may be able to judge for themselves, . whether this part of the State is suited to their con dition and : means, as a place wherein to find a jiermanent home. 1 ' The "valley of the Republican is so well known to the reading world, that there is scarcely any need for me to describe it.- Suftice it to say, that the State has no finer stretch of country within its lines. It is well timbered. well watered, good limestone, hard as well as soft magncsian, (the latter ' of which need 'no burning, but can bo used as taken out of the quarry, by dis solving in water as other lime). The soil is rich and productive, capable of growing That which can be grown any where else. . - Two years ago last March this coun ty was organized. The number of set tlers then located here, were not many more, than those necessary to fill the various offices to do business. At the October election following the number of registered voters was about three Hundred: but bv an unfortunate oc currence one whole precinct lost the privilege of its vote, causing a great deal of inconvenience to the county at large,- owing to the location of the county scat having been thrown into dispute betwemi the contending pointa. which, it is to be hoped, will soon be permanently fixed. : The population of the county, at pres ent, all told," I would judge is not less than 1,500, which, of itself is sufficient evidence to prove its adaptability to settlement; and yet, this is about as thinly settled a county as is in the val ley, except .Nuckols county, which, is owned chiefly by speculators. This, too, is one of tho principal reasons why Frankliu county, is not more thicklv settled. The State owned a great deal of land here, which now belongs to somo rail road corporation. ..This, with every al ternate section given to the B. & M. R. R. Co. to fill up a quota, has occasioned many who would otherwise have set tled here to move farther west. ? ev- ertheless, there are many good claims rit here vet; moreover, on the south side of the river, as a great many people liave an objection to cross it. the land is as goodv if not better, than it is on the north side. The timber is chiefly hard wood oak, ash, elm and hacklierry, with very little Cottonwood. Water on the south' Side is not so plhri- tif ul as it is on the north ; but can be had by digging, and at a very moderate depth, almost anywhere. "NVe have the nucleus of all the nec essary modern civilized improvements, already. The- assessable personal prop erty of the county, this spring.'amount ed to $70,000, whereas, two years ago we had nothing to assess. ' Out indebt edness, up to the present, does not foot up to 62,000, all told, "and this too in a county which had. xio property to tax the first year. - The rate of tax is about 75 mills on the dollar, which will leave quite a sum in our treasury, at the end of another year. "We have nice thriv ingJittle . to wns, three ;mill3, (two of them-steam '-'mills'), 1 schools, places bf worship, a healthy climate, pure spring water, and good, strong, industrious people, which ought to be such a source of in dependence to a young county as to cause her future to appear bril- iant. - Mlltfi.

"r ' ; ' . : ti PERSEVERANCE CONQUERS. Plattsmouth, Nebraska, THE WALYTORtn TRAGEDY . Further Developments A Letter Writ ten In Blood and Sanded with pow der. ' The New York Herald of June 10 publishes and interview of a reporter witli a relative of the murderer, from which the following is an extract: "Now, Mr. asked the reporter, I want to know your sincere impres sion of Frank's state of mind, ' May I ask you what you think on the sub jectV" , My answer may surprise you. . I have ridiculed the theory of insanity at all times. I do not believe that a man nan shoot another down and then be allowed to plead insanity. I have always laughed at the idea. Frank Walworth is no more insane than you are, and if you told him so he would laugh at you, too ; and yet he has not realized what he has done. I have seen him to-day, and he still believes he has done a meritorious act. Of course there is not a member of his family. who sympathizes with the crime he has com mitted. Our common feeling is one of horror, and there is not one of us who would not yield up our own life that this terrible thing should not have occurred- Xobody could have dreamed of its probability.. You should have seen Frank Walworth before this occurred. A more gentle creature never lived than I saw him at the inquest on Fri day lask ti could not believe that I was looking at the same boy I knew so well. You remember when Mr. More head gave that horrible description of the murder; I thought he would have wilted aud cried like a child, but you saw how unmoved lie was.. Xo, not even when his father's card, stain ed with his own blood, was shown him did he betray-any emotion, and; I war rant that everybody in court was.hor ritied. He grows more apathetic every day, and as this false "stocial courage increases, his condition, to my mind, become more critical. The reaction will come, however, some day, and when it does come, and when he realiz es what he has done, Frank Walworth will be the most miserable man you ever saw on tnis earin. 1113 nature is sucu that should he ever realize the enormi tv of his crime the effect will be sim- il v terrible, and I pray to God, for his own sake, as does every member of his family, that he may never realize it." 'Now. Mr.-s . to put: ail enu at once and forever to the sensational sto ries which have been told with regard to the treatment of Lis wife by Mans field Tracy H alworth, and the aggra vating circumstances which led to this crime, may 1 ask wuat you Know 01 j-our own personal Knowieuge 10 ne true? There are so many conflicting stories abroad, and from unauthorized sources, that I would like to have your statement for tho Herald" "It is a terrible thing, sir, to lay bare family secrets, under such circumstan- . V A 11 ' . A. A ces ; and yet, as 1 toia you, we must try to-save another life at the expense of the memory of the dead. I am charit able enough to suppose that. Mansfield Tracy Walworth was insane on one subject that or his aitection lor nis wife. I believe that 11 ne couiu now be asked if he loved his wife he would sav that he did sincerely and with all his heart. The fact is, Mrs. Walworth was a handsome woman, of refined tastes. He had low tendencies, . not withstanding his brilliant genius. She lived with him as long as it was possi ble for a woman to live with a man under such circumstances, and he only missed her when he lost her. He was proud of her as an employer , is proud of a confidential clerk, whose value he does not appreciate until better pros pects take him away from him. It galled Mansfield Tracy Walworth to the heart that this woman should have left him, and I think the separation cost him his' intellect." "What do these sensational stones about his maltreatment of his wife amount toV" "We have paid up Mr. Walworth s bill in the house on Fourth ' avenue, where he resided immediately before his death. We have all his trunks here in which his letters and papers are seal ed up. We have there and in Sarato go letters which he has written to his wife, which 1 nope" we may never De compelled to produce in open court, but, should we be compelled, we can, I think, show such, aggravating circum stances in this case that will startle the entire community. '' When Chancellor Walworth died he left his son, Mans field Tracy Walworth, a simple annui ty, and left the remainder of his prop erty to be divided up for the support of his family, knowing the character or his soiun . This will of the Chancellor's made Mansfield wild with rage. He stood .over the coffin of his own father in-Saratoga and cursed the day he had been born. ' He called on (iod to avenge his upas tree, as he called it, aud blas phemed in the most horrible manner, lie said thnt it should be the object of his life that his own father should not be easy in his grave. Of this Mrs. Dr. Backus, the sister .of Mrs. alworth, was a witness, as well as other mem bers of the family. Subsequently Mansfield came to Saratoga, and while his wife was far advanced in pregnan cy ho beat her and bit three of her fin gers to the bone. Her injuries were such at that time as to endanger her life. I On the very night or the Chancellor s funeral I alluded to he attempted to break into one of the sleeping rooms of the ladies' seminar." . "I have heard of a story about a let ter written to Mrs. Walworth by her husband in his blood. -.. . Is there any truth in that?" . u.t. ., We have letters which, .Mrs.. Wal worth has received from her husband, in which ho had: stated that he had written them in his own blood and sanded them with powder; that he would kill her and' her childrtfnyand that ho would cut off the name of Walworth fore veri .The ReV.-Father Clarence Walworth wrote to Frank last week, saying that he -would take him to Europe with him for a tour, and that they would sail on Wednes day of the current week. -Frank con sulted his mother, and he came to the conclusion to come down to Xew York aiid see his father, and get from him a promise that he would not molest' or insult his mother or any of the family during his absence in Europe The father had a bad look . when he - liked. You shoidd have" seen it. Ho said to Frank, "I promise," when he was ask ed if .he would promise not to insult his mother in his absence. Mansfield Tracy. Walworth always carried a pis-", tol in ,tlid breast pocket hi3 ' coftt, au-I it Thursday, June 26, 1873. Frank Walworth knew it. When he saw him make the motion he fired. , I blame him because I think he ought to have got away, and I think he could if he wished; but the boy was aggravat ed beyond measure. He never intend ed to shoot his father, and he made that statement of his to the Coroner aeainst the wish of every- one of his relatives. He was not crazy ; but reared, as he had been, with no recollection of a fath ers love, his earliest years associated with harsh treatment of his mother, his brothers and sisters, and himself, so great a change has come over his gentle truthful nature that you would not recognize him. I believe that . this tragedy . will cost Mrs. Dr. Backus, Vrank Walworth's aunt, her mind. You have no earthly idea of its effect uuon all of us. Mrs. Walworth has al ways kept her grief to herself, and would allow, no one to speak ill of Mansfield Tracy Walworth in her pres ence. THE AGRICULTURAL CONGRESS. Report on the Rallnay Si&tem. We gave the report on transporta tion last week,-below our readers will find the Report on Railway systems, of which commute our towsman, D. H, Wheeler, was a member : ' The Committe on Railway System submitted the following lteport : Whereas, We recognize the rail ways of the country ' as an effectual means of developing its agricultural re sources, and as having an interest, com mon and inseperable, with the country through which they pass ; and Whereas, We have , in times past fostered ' and aided tnem by liberal charters and Concessions, made by pub lic and private parties, and still desire to encourage, further development of the railway system ; .therefore, Resolved, That a fair degree of recip rocity would suggest that corporations having a common interest and public aid should in their turn endeavor to subserve the interest of tho . country through which they pass, by charging fair rate of freights and by the equita ble and just treatment of all localities along their lines. : Rejoiced, That on the contrary, rail road corporations in many instances have been exorbitant in their charges, have discriminated unjustly between localities, and have failed to respond to the generous grants of powers and moneys, that have been given them by our National and State Governments. Resolved, That the system adopted and now practiced in' the building of railroads, viz: The soliciting of stock subscriptions, from individuals, corpo rations and counties, and after receiv ing these subsides to depress the value of said stock by forcing it upon 'the market and depreciating its value to such an extent as to enable a few spec ulators to secure control 'of. the "road, thereby depriving those who. aid in its construction of all voice in its manage ment; increasing the cost four or five times above the amount it would have cost if those managing it in the outset had had the foresight to have had the funds on hand at the start to build and equip said road; then requiring the producer and shipper to pay dividends upon the fictitious cost by charging ex cessive freight and passenger tariffs, operates most injuriously to the best interests of the farming class, and calls loudly for reform and restraint by ade quate legislation. Resolved, That we recommend all far mers to withhold their voices and their aid from railway corporations, unless it be fully conceded and agreed that corporations so aided are subject to regulation by the power incorporating them, and will not after receiving the advantages conferred by the public au thority, claim the immunities of a pri vate corporation. Resolved, That we endorse and will supiort the doctrine promulgated by some of our courts: That a railway cor poration in receiving and exercising the State s right of eminent domain and receiving aid raised by taxation from public authorities has thereby ac cepted and admitted itself to' be a cor poration with 'a public function and subject to the power from which it has received its character, in the limitation of its rates. Resolved, That a railway being prac tically a monopoly, controlling the transiiortation of nearly all the coun try through which it passes ; and that its competition, except at few points can not ; be relied upon to fix rates. "that therefore" it "becomes the duty of the State to fix reasonable maximum rates, affording a fair remuneration to the transporter arid without being an onerous charge to the producer and consumer. 1 - ; ir Resolved, That inasmuch as Belgium has succeeded 'in -regulating the rates upon railways by Government lines, we ask an- investigation of the proposition to control the rates upon- existing rail ways by trunk lines built and controll ed by the State '-authorities- and Tun at fixed uniform and cheap' rates. : - j liesnlved. That the consolidation of parallel lines of railway is contrary to public policy, and should be prohibited bylaw: ,-. -r-' f,v. vj ;.;, .

C-) Home, of -which you are editor, I find going the rounds of tho newspa pers,: in which you make an attack upon the character of the lato General Canby and other deceased officers of the United States army. In this edito rial you do me the honor to bitterly de nounce me. . I say honor, for I esteem it an honor for any man who has been loyal to his country to be blackguard ed and vilified by you. Were I so un fortunate as to be tho recipient of your commendation I. should feel like ex claiming, as did Socrates, when ap plauded by a bad man like yourself, "What crime have I committed?" .You exult over the; death of the brave Canby, assassinated by savages, and attribute his death with that of Abraham Eincoln, Edwin M. Stanton, Geo. II. Thompson, l'rof.Mahaii, of West Point, ex-Senator , l'roston King, of. New York, and the late Senator Lane, of , Kansas, to a retribution of God, because in tho late civil war, they opposed the effort to destroy the Gov ernment of. the United States You say of Gen. Canby that while he was in command at Richmond, Vir ginia, he "personally superintended the hanging of a white man up by the thumbs for kicking an insolent negro." Now, this "is your version of Can by 's conduct,;-and tha whole editorial you have written breathes so fiendish and brutal a spirit as to make you unwor thy of credit. ' - ' Besides, this, Gen. Hill, the whole life of Gen. Canby give3 the lia to your assertion that he did anything vulgar, inhuman or " unbecoming a high-toned soldier.' Canby was a man of learning and ability and' Christian gentleman, as well as a model soldier. I am not prepared to deny that within Canby's department a white man was tied up by the thumbs. While he commanded at Richmond, a negro, under the Con stitution of the United States as amend ed, which Canby was sworn to support, Was entitled to all the rights and privi leges of other citizens. As a West Pointer and an officer of the United States army before the war, you know- that to "tie a malefactor up by the thumbs was a common mode of pun ishment in the army, andTanby failed in his duty if he made distinction be tween criminals on account of race or color in meting out the pains and pen alties required by good order and mili tary discipline. hue as a matter of form and duty as Department tjommanaer, i.anny would approve the verdict of a military court inflicting just and necessary pun ishment upon criminals violating the laws it was- his duty to enforce, he was above being his own executor. -The management of the details he ieft to a man of brutal instincts like your self. Xow, Gen. Hill, while you are falsely accusing Gen. Canby 01 brutality, 1 propose to enlighten the public as to your military Tecord. While in com mand in Xorth Carolina, during the late war, twenty-six white men were tried on the charge of being loyal to the United States. Xo other offense was alleged against them.- They were put on trial late in the afternoon, and by the verdict of a drum-head court martial acting under your orders, all were hung until dead, before break fast the next morning, without benefit of clergy. Are you not a beautiful spec imen to assail Canby on the score of brutality ? I can think of nothing as supremely ridiculous, unless it would be for you and your friend Cap. Jack to write a treatise on civilization for distribution among the Ku-Klux of Xorth Carolina. Indeed, if I did not know you' were in North Carolina, 1 6hould infer from the brutality of your assault on Canby, Thomas, and others, that you wero in the lava beds when it was written; and that 'the article was the joint production of yourself and Capt. Jack. ' 1 our . assumption that the death of the noble George II. Thomas, by apo plexy,' and the sudden deatlm of Lin coln and other loyal men are a retribu tion of the Almighty for the side they took in the late war, could be inspired only by the malignancy born of disap pointed ambition, and the spirit which possessessed the deviL the founder of Secession Democracy, of a preference to ruling in hell to sert ing in heaven. I am happy in the belief that many thousands of the honest masses in Ten nessee, Xorth Carolina, and elsewhere, who were misled and coerced into re bellion by just such men as you, Gen Hi!!, now repudiate your leadership and loathe your teachings. If I was disposed to imitate you, I could give a long list of men in civil and military life supporting the rebel lion,' who' have come to sudden and, in many cases, dislionorable deaths, but I prefer not to do so. -, i. ou , rejoice over my paralysis as. a punishment ; of uod, because, as you say;l feast my Jot with the Abolition ists. -I recognize the hand of God in my case, but ! regard Ilim as interfer ing in: my benali.

I have noticed that you and others. who have assailed Canby and Thomas since their death, never insinuated a charge . reflecting upon their personal characters while they .were living. To make accusations against a man after death, which you dared not make while he was living, would indicate to unprejudiced minds that jou are falsi- iera or co w utu. , . j r .-.,..

Dr. Ilall relates the case of a man who was cured of his biliousness by going without hi9 supper and drinking freely of lemon ado. Every morning, says the doctor, this patient aroso with a wonderful sense of rest and , refreshment, . and a feeling aa though the blood had been literally washed, cleansed and cooled by the . lemonade and the fast. His theory is that food will be used as a remedy for many diseases successfully. As an example, lie cures cases of spit ting blood by the use of salt; epilepsy and yellow fever by. watermelons ; kidney, alfections by celery; poison olive or sweet oil; erysiielas; pounded cranberries applied 1 to ' t lie parts affected ; hydrophobia, onions, etc. .

A women who is considering the matter of her spring hat, is an interest in subject for contemplation. - First she buys a frame that looks as if it had been struck by a hurricane and then sat down on by an entire coroner's ju ry. After that, when she rides in a street car, she drinks in the details of every spring hat that enters, and learns them all by heart, and does mental sums over the cost of the ribbon, and makes up her mind to have flowers in her's like those worn by the woman in the corner, and lace like, that gawky looking creature in the middle. And when she walks down the street and studies all the hats that come along, and when a woman passes with one on, she twists , her neck around to see how it looks behind, and is disgusted to see that the woman also is dislocating her neck, to see how she : trims Iter liat. When she arrives in front of a millin ery store, she lingers until she has ana lyzed all the spring hats in the window, and she determines to trim her's in nineteen different ways, and she decides not to have flowers "like those of the woman who sat in the corner. Then she shoots into the store, and asks to "see hats," with an air of a person who has a whole female seminary to rig out with eighty dollar head-gear. She ex amines every hat in the establishment, overhauls ten bushels of flowers, get about twenty dollars worth of work out of the sales-woman, and then says she will "look further." Then she goes home with her mind fixed on thirty- eight or nine different styles, in which she wants to trim her hat. After a while she begins to think she ought to have a feather in it, and she passes two or three sleepless nights trying to de cide whether to put one on or not. At last she resolves she will. Then she lies awake for two more nights endeav oring to determine whether it shall be red or blue. Sho fixes on blue. She buys the trimming and sews it on in seventy successive positions, her mind filled with deepest anxiety as to wheth er the feather should go on the right side, the left side or on top. She puts it on the right side, but just then Mrs. Brown passes the window with a feath er on the left side of her's, and so she Changes it. The next morning Mra; Furguson calls, and her feather is on the right side, and then another change is made. At church the next day, Mrs. Smith has feathers on both sides, and Mrs. Johnson has one on top. . Then more sleepless nights and painful un certainty. At last m utter despair sho takes the hat to a milliner a and pays ten dollars to have it trimmeiL When it comes home she pronouncss it "hate ful," and picks it all. to pieces, and broods over it and worries and frets, and loses her. appetite and feeLs life to be. a burden for a week or two longer until suddenly she hits just' the right thing, and become once more serene and happy and puts , the hat , on ; and goes out . to make', millions of other women miserable, because their . hats are not trimmed exactly like hers.". As a .wife, woman is a blessing; as a mother, she is an-inestimable boon; as -an organizer of spring hats, she is sim ply, an object of coinp:is8ion. : ioha Stuart Mill's Trlbnte to His Wife. !The death of John Stuart Mill recalls an .incident which revealed the depths of his - tender nature.. His work on "Liberty" appeared in 185'J, soon after the death of his wife, and the memory 0 that . lady's singular abilities and womanly virtue was embalmed by him in the touching and eloquent dedicat ion of the volume. It was as follows: - " To the beloved and, deplored mem ory of her who was the inspirer, and in part the author, of all that is best in my..writings-r-the - friend and wife whose exalted sense of truth and right was my strongest incitement, . and whose approbation was . my chief reward I dedicate this volume. Like all I have, written for many years, it belongs as. much to her as to me; but the work as it stands has hath in a very insufficient degree, the ; inestimable advantage of her revisions, some of the important portions having been re served for a more careful re-examination, which they are now never destined to receive. . Were I but capable of interpreting to the world one-half the great thoughts ; and noble feelings which are buried in hsr grave, 1 should be the medium of a greater benefit to it than is ever likely to arise from any thing, that I can write, unprompted and unassisted by her all but unrivaled wisdom." Mrs. Mill lies buried at Avignon, long the home of the well-mated pair, aud in the Spring of every year since her death he has made a pilgrimage to her grave The world now pays to him a tribute as sincere and a just as that wkich he paid to kor. , ; ai i:it nsi vc; ' kATtS!
