you,
Floating Councilman for (he
Counties of Hurt, Washing
Ion, tiiid Sarpy.
The fooling up of tho returns, of the
three counties, show George V. Donne,
of Burt co.. to he tho successful m m
and it U with pleasure, in connection wi h
this, we mention the fad, that the canvass
for float, was conducted with most perfect
fairness and gentlemanly condui t, on the
pirt of both Donne and Clancy.
It lms been o ir pleasure, to know the
Hon. Win. Clancy, for the last four years j
he was first a representative from Doug,
las County, and then reflected, during
which time, he most emphntically, favored
the organization, of the Southern Election
District, of Douglas co., (now Sarpy co.,)
as hit voles upon the journul will show ;
he also was a strong friend, and a greet
auxiliay, in the movement to erect Sarpy
County, in the third Legislature. hailing
from Washington co., as Councilman that
year. Sir William, you have fought a
noble, bold, and manly battle, and though
defeated (by Sarpy co., from where you
had a right, to expect so much,) still con
soling yourself with ihe thought, that re
publics are ungrateful. We cannot take
our leave of you, thus, without saying,
that you still live, and will continue fresh
and green, in the grateful recollection, of
the people if Sarpy County.
, In conclusion, of George W. Doane,
the successful candidate, we but do jutice
when we any, we are proud of him, as a
Representative in part for Sarpy co. lie
is a sound lawyer, an eloquent speaker,
and a finished genllfnmn. lie has those
qualifications, which in sl.ort, well fit him
for the position he has so gnllantly won.

successful.

.several others for residences. The spi t
itself is not the best for a town site, but
art and industry sometimes step in to tho
aid of nature. It may be so in this rase.
The present business part of thn town
is situated near the lauding, on the only
level street in the whole town, which is
Main street. Tho bluffs on the south
siJe of this street are quite abrupt ; on
the north side the laud is more sloping
and answers well for residences. Those
who admire romantic beauty, or " nature
in its savage loveliness," can have it here
to their heart's content. Some of the hills
and peeks rising out of the ravines and
valiies will make the most splendid places
for reiJences in the world, in due time
with plenty of money.
For two miles back from the Missouri
River, the land is broken, so muuh so,
that it could hardly be cultivated. This re
gion, however, has th advantage of be
ing well timbered. Just south of the town
thera i a solid body of good hardwood
timber, such as Walnut, Oak, Hickory,
and Elm. Directly west of this broken
limbered region, the country opens up
into a beautiful prairie, unequaled for
farming purposes in the whole territory.
Its face is gently rolling with slopes long
and gradual, hmce not subject to the
washing process so common in many oili
er parts of the territory. This region is
already well cultivated. Farms are fenc
ed and everything looks thrifty nud en-
terprising. UK. -oiu tarm, wan m

Removal or the Capitol. The
Omaha Nebraskian states that Sarpy
county has elected a delegation to the

Capitol ; and tauntingly asks, " What has

county has done no such thing. The re
moval or non removal of the Capitol was
not exactly the question that entered into the
canvass Most, and we think every one,
of the candidates, asserted that they would
leave that question with the people, and
wheo the people favored it. they wuld

forests to absorb the water among the

with great rapidity to tha lesser streanu,
and those to the larger ones, till in two or
three hours from the time a heavy shower
visits the country, many streams have ris

everything before it. and then rec diras
