The County Commissioners of the

Monday, to consult and agree upon
some reforms in the laws relating to
their powers and responsibilities.
lion. John Barnes has introduced a
bill ealliirg for a constitutional conven

of 39 members, or one from 'each rep

FINANCE.
The new finance law received the
signature of the President ou Friday
last, and is now a fixed fact. Banking
is now frcf, if that will help us, and
the country lias taken the lirst active
steps toward a return to specie pay

works.
We-like the looks of this Legisla
ture pretty well; they will undoubted
ly prove an active working body of
men, when they have let themselves
out on the Senatorial question and set
tled down to business. They seem to
be a little inclined to extravagance in
small appropriations, however, and
these grasshopper times, Legislative
and State expenses should be cut down
and kept down, as low as is compati
ble with tranaction of business.

We do not exactly favor Church
Howe's bill for postponing the collec
tion of taxes. The river counties, at
least, have just gone to great expense
to advertise and get their tax-lists in
collectable shupe, and this postponment
will only make us more expense and
trouble. The homesteaders, for whose
relief the bill ia put forth, are not
heavy tax-payers.

LEGISLATURE.
The Nebraska City Nec$ seems to be
the only paper that takes any notice of
the fact that a last chance is offered
the people of Otoe and Cass, to get a
through road, and secure a chain of
railroads in the eastern or River coun
ties, running north and south, before a
cordon and net-work of railroad inter
ests i3 formed and strengthened on in
terior lines passinc far west of, and
leaving us behind the progress and life
of the rest of the State, to vegetate on
the banka of old Muddy, and forever,
and forever recall the glories of the
freighting days, the money made in
"good times gone by," and to dwell and
revel in the past and dead issue, in
stead of placing ourselves in the fore
front, and Very van of the civilization
and progress of the State, the place
where our present wealth, amount of
taxable property, and the burden of
taxation of the State ought to place
U3.
Once more we ask the Neirs, and the
other Otoe papers, aud the people, to
look this thing in the ace. and at least
give her citizens a chance to know just
where they are placing themselves, and
what the probable results will be if
thej let this chance slide by without
securing these roads. The News thinks
there is no chance to carry the bonds.
Put them, man, and try.
If you ever want your W. W. road,
now is your time, and the last chance
you'll get for many a year, if ever.
Luck favors you now as it-Tmay not
again. The time is so short that we
can't afford to fool space uway, and
.propose- to speak'of this matter blunt
ly and to the point, we can't stop to
count just whose toes we may tread
on.;iThe News says:
"That no vote for aid to this lino ran be car
ried in Owe county'if tbe road H to be built f n
the river loute. because it would oler no direct
or loeil advantages to any fanner in the county.
Ilut that a reasonable amount f lad probably
would be voted if the road wu t be built on the
inlaua or Walnut Creek and Mouli route,
because that would fcive local railroad accom
modation 10 Wyoming, Berlin and North Branch
precincts better than lliey now have. and at the
name time would t;ivc every other part o the
county every beneiit that it could possibly de
rive from the roid if built on the river line."
"We believe and assert, without fear
of contradiction from any good railroad
or business man, that every farmer liv
ing in any part of any river county,
from Dacotuh to the Kansas line, has
a direct and personal pecuniary inter
est in the building of this road. It is
of direct and immediate "local advan
tage" to each and every one of them,
because unless it is built now, a net
work of roads will, in time, be com
pleted west of 113, leaving the towns
and river counties to die out. Our
young blood, our best bloodis leaving
us day by day; they go to Omaha, to
Lincoln." and when a new capital is
b lilt still farther west, and a chain of
roads leading thero perfected, others
will leave ns for the new and enter
prising towns of the west.
This is certain as fa'e, and every f; r
mer and every tax-payer, has iuterest
in this. Wo must centre the trade and
the through line of R. R. north and
south here, near the river, to save our
selves. The same suicidal policy that
moved the capital from Omaha to Lin
coln, and ruined Nebraska City, Platts
mouth, and Brownville, is now at work
opposing these railroads, and ten years
from now the people of these counties
will look back and curse the men who
prevented their having railroads here,
outlets and communication, just as we
nw look back and see what fools
South Platte men were, to clamor for
the removal of the capital when they
did.
This argument cannot be gainsayed,
and establishes the need of the road,
the Ntvn does not deny this, but says
it must be built up "big slough. &c."
If so, why don't you build it, just raise
the money and put her through; you
can't, (we told you we. should speak
plain) and we can't, and we both must
go to the men who have the rnoney,
and they say up and down that your
"inland" route" is impracticable. Doc.
Converse, and John Fitzgerald, both
railroad men say, they wouldn't oper
ate the road there if built. We can
get the river route. It does benefit ev
ery farmer in Otoe county and C;iss
too. Why not take what you can get,
aud leave" impossibilities to the future.
The road would be under way in 30
days by the river, and it never will be
by the other, until we have lost our
chance, until towns, and villages, aud
markets, and trade have been forced
away from us, and too late we will
sigh, as usual, for "what might have
been," and cursu our own stupidity
that we 'didn't get it, when wo could.
We "can't meet you at the big slough,
and there's the end of It, and hard and
long as we have worked for this east
ern north and south road, we are about
tired, and played out, when, ignorance,
prejudice, and old fogyism, combined
are asrainst us. This is our last call.
if not successful, we, too, will pack our
dud.s and go to a country where they

House the
Lincoln, Tuesday, Jan. 19.
The Hep.ald arrived at Lincon last
evening in good health and spirits to
find all riattsmouth and half of Omaha
besides a heap of other fellows all
camping at the Capitol. Some to see
the fun, some because their neighbors
came here and more because they fool
ishly suppose they can help in some
indefinite and unknown way the elec
tion of a Senator.. The Tichenor
House was pretty full last night until
a late hour. The rooms up stairs-each
held an anxious and as a rule a noisy
group of plotters and the stories afloat
as to the probable result to-day would
fill a volume.
One man was very sure Thayer could
make it on the first ballot, while others
were equally sure Judge Dundy was
the coming man. Again a "new deal"
fellow came along and he was the
deadest sure man of the lot.
One thing is sure, whether Nelse
Patrick gets elected(?) or not he or his
friend managed to give the Republi
cans a huge scare and certainly helped
to increase and intensify the light.
Tins morning
The members assembled looking grave.
It was late when they met and about
twenty minutes after ten Mr. Baumer,
of Omaha, moved that the House now
proceed to vote for a U. S. Senator.
This motion was afterwards voted
down on account of the absence of
sick members that were expected about
eleven, an idea being abroad that they
could not vote before twelve o'clock.
This is not so, each House votiug sepa
rately can vote when they please. The
joint convention must vote at 12 each
day. Senator Bear is quite sick. Hon.
Jehu Brown and Hon. Church Howe
were reported on the sick list yester
day. Howe i3 in his place this morn
ing, however.
THE VOTE TO-DAY
Is not expected to show the real
strength of the parties. Our county
move and all other outside matters are
laid aside for the present.
TUESDAY NOON.
The vote in the Senate
about 11 o'clock."7. In the
galleries'were crowded, quite a sprink
ling of ladies, but not as many as we
have seen on like occasions.
The Senate vote was decidedly in
favor of Dundy and the buzzing in the
House became immense.
THE CRISIS
Came in the House about 11 o'clock,
and resulted as follows:
Thayer 14 votes, all told.
Dundy Deals, Chambers, Chapman,
Clark, Farley, Fischer, Pinuey, Towle,
8.
Paddock Davidson, Gaylord, Mur
phy, Nance, McDowell, Roll, "Wright, 7.
Mason Enyare, Munn, Tomlin, 3.
Morton Baker, Crawford, 2.
Lett Folda, Lucas, 2.
Howe Ilayden, 1.
Patrick Howe, 1.
Both Houses adjourned after the
ballot and helda "mutual" caucus at the
Tichenor. It was lively for awhile in
the evening.
THIRD HOUSE.
This celebrated, institution met last
night and elected lion. John I. Redick
Speaker, and Tip Top Squatter Govern
or, although he expressed himself op
posed to a third term. The by had a
little fun and then went back to their
muttons, that is their candidates.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
All hands on deck, reporters' chairs
full, galleries crowded, floor packed.
To-day there can be no fooling about
votes, a mistake might elect, you know.
The rumors are thicker than the grass
hoppers last July. Late last night
Thayer stock seemed down and this
morning the talk is in favor of a new
man to be nominated in caucus, all old
candidates to be barred. Many think
grasshopper Smith "3 x's" will get the
persimmons after all. There never
has been any greater excitement over
any Senatorial election than exists over
this. No man can really tell how it
will turn out, before this letter is
printed we shall ail probably know,
therefore it Is useless to hazard guess
es. A good deal of speculation is rife
whether they will elect today or not.
It is my impression they will settle
Hhe hash to-day.

had the hot branding iron in one hand

purpose, stuck it, hot end up, against a
box. Just then a negro man came
along, and not knowing the brand was
hot, sat down upon it in a jaunty man

'Help, lire!' or something that sounded
like it. He is said to lie well branded."

AFT0X LETTER.
Afton, Frontier Co., Neb., )
Dec. 10th, 187-1. f
Ed. Herald: After a some what
protracted silence, I again resort to my
pen, ink, and paper, as the only practi
cal medium of communication, between
our frontier settlement and "America."
Since writing to you last, we have
had various experiences; good, bad,
and indifferent. We have hunted buf
falo, and been hunted by them ; we
have got meat, and lost meat ; have
got cold, and caught cold ; but this is
all in a lifetime. Ou the sixth day of
last Nov, we got back home from our
second buffalo hunt, tired, jaded, and
not clean, and fully persuaded that we
had paid three or four prices for our
meat, and rather wishing that Bro.
Porter could try it on "buffalo strait,"
as we had to.
After burning fire guards, and being
pretty well singed in retarn. for two
or three days, we were stopped by a fall
of snow, of about one inch in depth.
We then turned our attention to our
very well ventilated house; stopped a
few of the vents, and settled down to
the calm eujoyment of a young winter,
that lasted about ten days, the creeK
freezing over in some places.
The weather then moderated, and
we have since had beautiful weather;
the frost is mostly out of the ground.
On the sixth of this month we broke
sod four inches thick, for a school
house; regular blue stem sod, and in a
valley at that. The birds sing merrily
by day, and the wolves join in chorus
at night; so you will sea we have a
variety.
By the way, we must not fail to ex
press our gratitude, that the news has
some way got out that there is a Fron
tier county, and that the people dwell
ing therein are as worthy of being
helped by our State Aid "Society as
those in other counties. We have
lately received one installment of pro
visions, &c. Other counties adjoining
have been receiving aid for nearly two
months.
We have, as we think, a beautiful
country, a mild, healthy climate, and
a good stock range, our stock getting
no hay, except when wo work them,
and no grain even then. Cattle are fat
and slick, and if we can live here, we
are determined to do so. Witli strong
hopes of a brighter future, I close this
communication. From
E. S. Child.

significant fact that this mcntai ailment is in
variably accompanied by dvspepsia and ner-
vousne. and tbe fact that it readilv yields to
the alternative action of Hostetter stomach
jiitters, which are peculiarly adapted to the
eradication of indigestion and nervous debility,
F roves that it originates in those complaints.
t will thus be seen how dependent the mind is
upon the body for the preservation of a cheerful
equilibrium, und also how readily the causes of
mental gloom may be removed. There is no
surer or pleasanter way of shaking off a fit of
depression brought on by indigestion, than by
swallowing a doe or two of thi agreeable med
