Tins is the way the Nebraska City Press puts it about the new Railroad through Cass County, after an inter view with Asa't Manager Clark of the U. P.: Q. How about the new road to be built from Doniphan, Kansas, through the Nebrasica counties Richardson, Nenuiba, Otoe and Cass, to connect at Papillieu with the Union Pacific? A. Well, that project has been under con sideration for some time, and I believe the prospect for its execution., a very good cue. Certainly, I cannot state anything definite yet, as thn proposed direct connection between Omana and St. Jof ph, Atchison and Kansai City has to be nWe ad will be made, al though for the pr?ont time every thing depends on the action of the K. C, St. Joe & C. B. road. Q. How about that toad? Didn't it "o over into the hands tf the II. & Q? A. Nothing of the kind. The K. C. is controlled neither by the C B. & Q the U. P-. or Jay Gould; the same is true of the A. & N.; both are still in dependent concerns and probably still in the market, all press comments to the contrary notwithstanding. O. Will the new link between Knn sas'Cily and Omaha take in Nebraska Ciy? A. Certainly; I cannot s nswer this question detinitely, but I shauld think the point between St. Joseph and Omaha on this side of the river cuald hardly be left out. (xurcelvu Squelched. We take :t for granted our readers and all good people will rejoice with us that there is at leant one ef the co ordinate branches of the State Govern ment of Maine clothed with authority and possessing the moral honesty te speak to the country in condemnation of the revolutionary programme of the Bourbon bulldozers of that Republican Common wealth; and that recognizes and respects the fundamental princi ples of popular government. It appears Garcelon and his council, alarmed at the wave of indignant pub lic opinion, which not only whelmed their own state, but which has swept unchecked over the entire nation, at tempted to take advantage of the re quest of the chairman of tbe Republi can State Central Committee and while refuting to submit the frank and fair statement of Ex-senator Morrill, after days of labor subasitted some twelve purely legal prepositions to tho su preme judicial court of that state, hop lag at least that they would prevent an opinion which would interfere with their scheme of bulldoziug the entire state government out of the hands of the people. We have no space to give the full text of the opinion, but the following are the main points decided . To the first question the court an swers, where there 13 absolutely no re turn from a city, the governor and council cannot order an election, but when any vacancy is declared they then must act and order a new election. If they reject a return then there is a va cancy and they must act. To the second question the court re plies that the act of 1877, chap. 212 f 1 1 J 1 Vl A . . 1 which me governor anu council en tirely disregarded as unconstitutional) was a valid act, and was passed to aid the canvassing board, in supplying emissious and perfecting returns and to prevent fraud and mistake. To the third question the Court says most of the cities are required to have seven .aldermen, and seme five ; that a majority ef the seven are necessary to transact business; that when a major ity or quorum are present, a majority of such quorum are qualified to trans act the business. Consequently, when a return is signed by but three alder men, it may be a valid or legal return. inai uie iouii n n.emDer, oeing pres ent, may have refused to act or sign tho return, and that the Governor and Council have no right to assumu that such a return is not valid citing nu merous authorities. To the fourth question the Court says it will not invalidate a return be cause votes are returned as scattering, especially when such votes being add ed or subtracted does not affect the general result, and that a return bear ing scattering returns, when they do not affect the general result, must be canvassed like other regular returns; that the presumption is always in fav or of the return. To the fifth question. "In the ab sence of the town or city clerk can any one else attest the returns?" the court says, a deputy clerk or a clerk pro tem pore can act and the return will be va lid. Te the sixth question, the court says there is no constitutional or other pro vision, by which the governor and council would be warranted in receiv ing evidence to show that a return re gularly transmitted was not signed and sealed in open town meeting, and that they must count them. To the seventh questionthe court says, when a majority of the selectmen are absent from the meeting, or refuse to act, the voters may choose selectmen pro tempore; and that the governor and council are not permitted to receive evidence to show that but two select men acted, that they must receive the return. To the eighth question the court says: A person, not a citizen, can act as a selectman, and he is, when so act ing, an officer Oe facto, and that such a fact would have no effect if it ap peared on the faco of the return itself citing many authorities. To the ninth question the Court says that the judges of election are the only ones who are to judge whether a bal lot has a distinguishing mark before it goes into the box, and that after it goes into the box it must be counted; and no one has the power to reject it, or the right to object to it, after it is voted. To the tenth question the Court in timates that "ditto" marks are aa ab breviation of common use, and that persons of ordinary intelligence ought to, and are supposed to understand, and know what they mean; and that such marks are no grounds for disfran chising a plantation or city. To the eleventh question the Court says: ll:e governor and Council can not reject a return on objection to the gnature of an officer, unless an ob jection in writing is presented, and that then they must give all persons interested notice, and a fair opportu nity to be heard. To the twelfth question the Court says: v hen two lists or returns are sent the Secretary of State, the return first received is the proper one to act upon; if defective, it can be corrected. Sec. to. "Live stock in herds, or not connected with a farm, shall be listed in the county where they are on April 1st." Sec. 19. "Persons moving in between April 1st and June lt, shall be assess- , for tne nomination of candidates to be Call for a National Republican Con vention. The National convention of the re publican party will meet at Chicago on Wednesday, the 2d of June next. ed for all prcperty owned April 1st, unless they can show they have been assessed elsewhere for the current year." Sec. 26. "Any person claiming a portion of their property or funds are in government bonds, and therefor ex empt, 8aall exhibit to tho assessor the species of bond, the number, series, Ac of each bond respectively." Sec. 52. -Real Estate: Assessors shall, between the 1st of April and 1st of June, each Year, actually view and determine a3 nearly aa practicable the value of each lot or tract of land sub ject to assessment." The Assessor makes bis returns on or before the second Monday in June. On the third Monday in Jane the Com missioncrs meet to equalize. Their powers in this matter are very exten sive. They can literally equalize ac cording to their ideas of equality. m o (Notk bt Editor.) Property has always been required, both by the Con stitution and statute law, to be assess ed at" its real value. It is only by cus tom that assessors have graded whole districts at a civen price, and stock at a nominal value, and the Commission ers have by custom so accepted the returns. The better way is to assess all prop erty at its true value, and then base the levy, on 60 or 75 per cent, of that on mor.ey. credits and all. Now it works a hardship on all cash deposits and cash values, and prevents their ap pearing on the list at all. It is wrong, and the Herald has often pointed out the remedy equal taxation for all; rich and poor. The debts of the person assessed can only be deducted from his or her mon ey (cash in hand) or credits, and from neither personal property, if in live stock, houses, jewelry, chattels, etc.. nor from real estate ; only from "mon ies and credits." We believe wo have here answered all our correspondent's inquiries, and shall be pleased to answer all ques tions of like kind to the best of our ability. This tax question is one of the utmost importance t the people, and should bs d'scussed and understood by all. Our legislators have seldom had the sand to really, tackle this matter, and do what is right ; they are so af rai l of thpir precious reputations for the moment, that they dare not follow their honest convictions about tax-as sessments. supported for president and vice pres ident at the next election. Republi cans and all who will co-operate with them in supporting the nominees ef the party are invited to choose two delegates from each congressional dis trict, four at large from each state, two from each territory, and two from the District of Columbia, to represent them in convention.

Judge Iluut on the Ute Ontrage. Wasuixgtox, Jan. 5. Concerning the publication of the horrible story of the outrage on the women captured by the Utes, Judge Hunt expressed himself very forcibly to-day. He said the reception of the dispatch made him sick at the heart. He said the p ablica non or a "story ot mat una nere would at once arouse a sentiment as hostile to the savages as that which exists in the state of Colorado." "I do not believe it will be safe even to bring these wretches to Washington," said he. "If a relative of mine had suffered this unnamable indignity at the hands of one of these Indians, I would shoot lim down in the street of this city." 31aine. Augusta, January 5. The governor and council held no session for busi ness to-day but have beeu in consulta tion in regard to the course to be pur sued. The guard is still maintained at the state house with some 200 men in the room. Opposite the agricultur al room there are sixty stand of arms stacked reaav tor immediate us Guard is kept upon all entering, pass ing through or leaving the building Although every train is bearing crowds into the city there has been perfect order. The mayor 200 extra po licemen on duty. Neither side has absolutely determined on a course which is not subject to radical amend raent. This much may be said, how ever, that the fusionists deem it all important that they should have a quorum and are resorting to all pos sible means to bring about the result Governor Garcelon states that the decision of tho court will not change his attitude towards the incoming leg islature. Points in the opinion might serve as a ruide m tne tuture, but his work has been performed under the constitutional statutes as he under stood them, and lie should neither withdraw the certificxtes nor issue new ones. Here and tuer may be round a dissenting voice to this position of the governor, but in the main it lias the approval of the mass of fusionists. At ousta, January o. l'liisnurv is out in the .Standard, denouncing the opinion of the court as partisan, and urging the counted in members to stand for their rights and not be bull dazed.

A correspondent wants to know what the new revenue law really re quires, and asks us to publisn it, or portions of it. The law is very lang. We give a synopsis of the points on wlncii information is desired, as we understand the queries, with page and section of laws of 1879. Sec. 4. p. 277 "All personal proper ty, exempt as herein otherwise direct ed, shall be valued at its fair casli val ue." Sec. 5, p. 273 "Each tract or lot of real property shall be valued at its fair value, estimated at the price it would bring at a voluntary sale thereof, where public notieo had been given, and a payment of one-third cash, ai:d the balance secured by mortgage." Sec. C. "Personal property shall be listed between the 1st of April and 1st of J uue each year, with reference to the quantity held or owned on the 1st of April of that year." A friexd sends us the following. thinking it may be of use to our farm er readers. It is from the Caicasro. Tribune: ON 'CHANGE. A DAY OF UPS AND DOWNS The New Year opened on 'Change with a very variable feeling. At the first it was very strong, and seemed to lepend chiefly ,n tho understanding that Kcene had sent the money here to pay for the wheat that was to be de- lvered on January contracts. This strength soon extended into other de partments. Wheat advanced Hoi a cent, corn to pork about 30 cents barrel, and lard about 10 cents per 100 pounds. It was soon found how ever, tnat tne deliveries 01 all kinds or produce, except meats, were very heavy and this checked the ardor of buyers so that offeiings were much increased, and the feeling was a tame one, pork closing 11 'Change at 10 cents lower than Wednesday, and wheat of a cent off. It was ascertained that THE MONEY SENT HERE BY KEENK amoanted to $2,000,000, which was considerably less than the S4.000.000 to S-j.000,000 at which Dame Rumor had placed it two or three days previously. The Wheat was all taken, and seemed o be centered mostly 111 strong hands. The chief point of weakness appeared to be the fact that red winter wheat was selling at one-half to one cent a bushel below the price of No. 2 spring, when in any other market in the world he winter wheat is worth 10 to 15 cents premium, ihis, with the fact tnat our elevators are already nearly full, con taining over 13,000,000 bushels of all kinds of grain, which is certainly with- n 2,000.000 bushels of their utmost available capacity, set a good many people to thinking. At the rate at which wheat, has been coming in here for a week p tst, not less than 120,000 bushels a day, on the average, with other grain in proportion, and scarcely anything going out, it would seem as if two weeks more are sufficient to FILL THEM CHOCK FULL and leave the farmers to the mercy of the railroads for the rest of the winter. It is understood, on good authority, that the parties who are controlling the wheat deal in New York, have sent circulars out into tbe country bread east, advising tbe farmers to hold on to their wheat, as they arc sure to get $2 a bushel for it in the spring. This was duly discussed among the know ing ones on 'Change, and by then was looked upon as a confession, of weak ness and inability to take care of tho deal of the movement of grain from first Lands should coutinue for the next three months at the rate of the last throe. It certainly stems difficult to think now WHAT WILL BE DONE WITnTHE STUFF. The storehouses in other cities are full nearly to the same proportion aa those in Chicago, and the stuff will have to be kept moving after it is once started, as there seems to be no resting-place for it on the way between, the producer and thecousumer. It Is already noticeable that sever.il parties who have been carrying wheat from one month to another are draw ing out, as the extensive margins that they have bf en obliged to put p to protect the deal have considerably less eued the profit upon the transaction of carrying by iucriasing the quantity of money necessary to be used in the deal They "are going out of wheat now, and into provisions, which pay a good deal . better. . i We clip tho following article from the Now York Tribune. It would seeua that the simple reading of the proceedings of such a meeting as that held in the Broadway Tabernacle, show ing the solicitude and expedients of good people to redeem from degrada tion and poverty the unfortunate ine briates, ought to be sufficient to set men of humane impulses and right views of their relations to society, to profound thought as to the fruits which grow out of the rum traffic. While the keepers of salooHs are liv ing aiid rioting on the hard earnings of those who haunt their dens, the pure and the benevolent are busilv en gaged in founding and supporting asy lums to "rescue the perishing," to re store lost happiness and prosperity aad to reinstate wrecked manhood. What a commentary on the greed for gain and the ufter lack of principle. Saloon men may cry "peace, peace, let us alone!' but the generation of tottering victims must first perish and theciies from de solated homes must first die out, then they may have peace tmless their own consciences rise up torraeut to them. TEMPERANCE IN NEW-YORK. -TRYING TO RAISE TUlu FALLEN. ANNIVER SARY OF THE NEW-YORK CHRISTIAN HOME FOR INTEMPERATE MEN AD DRESSES BY WILLIAM T. BOOTH, GEN ERAL WOODFORD, JOHN B. OOfOU AND THE REV. Dli. WILLIAM M. TAY LOR. The friends of the "New-York Chris tian Home for Intemperate man" tilled the Broadway Tabernacle last night. William T. Booth, president of the Board of managers of the Home, pre sided. In a short address, he described the Home and its method of rescuing from intemperance. He said that it could take care of only twenty-five men at a time, but nevertheless in thirty months it had had 317 men within its doors. Of this number UC0 had pro fessed Christianity. The society could put its hands on 20 men who came to its shelter drunkards and paupers who were to-day living c onsistent Christian lives. It cost 810,000 to maintain the institution. A new Home was needed, and one with room for 100 men could be tilled in a day. The managers de sire to obtain siou.ouu to mm.! such an enlarged institution; S20.000 had already ben contributed, and lie hoped the entire 3100,000 would be given 1 e- fore the close of the year. GENERAL WOODFORD Two facts Tnust impress themselves on those present. The first of these was that in our advancing civilization we are net keeping pae in raral de velopment with the increase of pauper ism and of crime. Every pl.il.iutiiro phist, every Chiistian worker, must see that year by year the percentage of paupers and criminals to the total of population in the great cities was steadily increasing. The statistics of L.cndon showed that some man or wo man died of actual starvation in each twenty-four houis. The statistics of New-York, could they be developed, would show that some human being died under the shadow of our churches and in the midst of our Christian civi lization, died by actual starvation, at least every four days. And this pov erty and crime could be traced in a great measure to in'emperance. And what was the remedy for this? We generally dealt with the poor man or poor woman in such a way as to weak en their manhood and womanhood. and degrade them into being irremediable; and there was not a thoughtful man or woman present who could not look back on instance after instance where, in their efforts to help the poor fallen, they had actually lessened their inde pendence and made it more impossible for them to help themselves. In this institution they were taught to loo to Jesus for help, and to work out their own salvation, and with this institu-, tion he was glad to express his deep sympathy. MR. GOUQH. - knew by many experiences, although many years had since passvd- away, what it was to try to be a baiter man; and there really was something awful in the feeling that one had no power to resist the terrible temptation that is engendered by this babit of intem perance. No doubt it was a hard mat ter for a man te reform. There was no doubt about it. And tho duty ef the temperate seemed to him very plain, because it was the customs of society that sustained and upheld in temperance, and brought these men to the position iu which they were found. No man intended to be a drunkard, but the irresistible desire crew upon him until he was mastered by it. He believed drunkenness to be a sin, and be also believed it to be a disease. Where the sin began, however, he could not tell. It was certainly a sin to get drunk; the Bible told us so; every man's conscience told him so. It was a sin first, and a disease afterward, and when once it got into the system it could not be eradicated. It was a sin, too, that brought its punishment in this world, whatever might be the sinner's fate in the next. No man could reform from drunkenness unless he became a Christian, and total ab stinence must be part of his religion. This institution taught men self-help taught them that although God would help them their regeneration lay with in themselves, and for this reason it was an institution thoroughly deserv ing public sympathy and support. ADDRESS OF DR. TAYLOR. The Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor said that ol many good causes he knew of few which were more worthy ef cor dial support than that of leinperauce. The Home was entitled to the hearty support of the Christians of New-York. CnristiaHity would give a man the s rength to resist drunkenness. There was no institution 011 Manhattan Is land which was doing so much good at so little cost. It had rescued among others the son of one of the most dis tinguished clergymen in the land from drunkenness. There was a good deal of materialism preached. He would have the preachers of the "gospel of dirt" go down into Water St., and con vert drunkards, as "Jerry" McAlay had dene. There was great need of just such an institution for women as the one that had been provided for men. Dr. Taylor closed his remarks by saying: "A week from Thursday you will have New Year's Day. Let there be no wine on the side-board on that day." This sentiment was ap provedwith hearty applause. The au dience then dispersed. AN APPEAL TO "WOMEN. The Board of managers of the Na tional Temperance Society adopted the following appeal: To the icomen of New-York and its ti cin ity : In view of the influence you posssess for the promotion of any good cause, we appeal to you not to offer wine or brandy, or any intoxicating drinks, to your guests on New Year's Day. Too many callers will find it hard to put away the cup. without being compel led to stand the test of a glass presented by a lady in her own home. In the interest of the many already bitten by this serpent, and for the sake of the thousands whom the adder has not yet stung, we beg you to throw the weight of your example during the coming holidays on the side of abstinence and safety. 7 W.JPay You 1 .
