It is slated in the Chicago Times that President Nickcrson, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo rail road denies the statement that Jay Gould has made arrangements to control that road.

The secretary of the interior has recently decided that lauds located by private entry and which after wards turn out to contain mineral, that the entry must be cancelled, and tho land reserved for entry under laws specially applicable to mining lands.

B" " '" uu Luuui.ii ill smiiug USIUU and throwing out the vote of whole cities, which was neither according to law nor justice, but perfbimed solely in the interest of party and to accomplish parlizin purposes, has aroused the just indiguation of all honest citizens of Maine, which will not be put down at the command of the men who participated in 6uch bare faced fraud aud outrage. The Bncyrus Journal, Crawford county, O., recently published the death of David Misenthaler, of "Whitestonc Towusbip, who was struck by a meteor, aud instantly killed. The greater part of his body seemed to have been crushed into the earth beneath the terrible aero lite, which was about the size of a common water bucket. It struck the man on or under the shoulder, passing clear through him obliquely from the right shoulder to the left hip, and buried itself about two feet A Proponed Rstce. Business men of Columbus, di.eH ly iiiicreslcd in tho welfare of n.e city, in its increase in population and wealth, arc still considering the im mense advantages to accrue from Ihe establishment of manufactures, aud are more and more solicitous that the matter should come to a practi cal demonstration shortly. In the multitude of council there is said to be wisdom, and we purpose utilizing whatever comes to us in the shape of in formation that may tend to the accomplishment of' the grand result. Every reasonable man is now fully satisfied that the manufacture of cer tain products here would richly pay, under experienced management, and with cheap and ample power. The practical question now is, How can this power be furnished? In this connection we may outline, in biicf, the plan of a civil engineer who has ascertained the fall of the Loupe, aud knows what he is talking about. We premise these facts : the fall of the Loup is not less than six feet to the mile; the general trend of the valley and the b lull's north arc the same as the river; the perpendicular bight of tho bluffs north of Colum bus is, say, twBkity-five feet ; the valley between river and bluffs is such that. the expense of a race or canal would be a trifle, compared with tho vast benefits; one foot fall to the mile would be sufficient to carry the water along the race or canal. Taking these figures as ac curate (and they are virtually ko) the supposed canal, running diagonally from the Loupe to the top of the bluffs north of Columbus, would, for every mile, carry the water five feet higher thau it would be in the bed of the river. The fall at the end of the raco would be sufficient to run all the machinery that Columbus will ever want lo make uso of. Let our active, enterprising, busi ness men keep this subject under lively discussion until a permanent business basis is reached, broad enough to .sustain and perpetuate the business prosperity of one of the bestcitics in Nebraska. Nance County. Editor Journal: "Wo notice an article iu your issue of the 0li of Dec. referring to Nance county and her officers. Your informant told part truth aud part falsehood, which we wish corrected as follows. Nance county is duly organized, and the officers in the possession of their respective offices, and are as follows: Commissioners, Thos. F. Millar, Henry Ruby and R. It. Warn ; Clerk, J. N. Reynolds; Treas., S. L. Sturlcvant ; Sheriff', Win. 11. Bow man ; Judge, M. S. Lindsay ; Survey or, G. Haskius ; Supt. of Instruction, Danl. Barker; Coroner, G. "W. Davis. These are the only officers who have received certificates of election from the clerk of Nance county, and they are the only officers who have quali fied before the county clerk, and who have presented their bonds to the commissioners appointed by the Governor for the purpose of organ izing ti'is county. Tho Genoa outfit that pretend to be officials of Nance county have never received any certificates of election. Their bonds have never been received or approved by the board of commissioners of Nance county. They never have had pos session of nil of the records or seals of Nance county, and never will have until legally elected. Mr. Miller, whom they claim as one of their officials, had no oppon ent in the election, and has not qual ified with that outfit, but has depos ited his bond with the county clerk and has had it approved by the com missioners, and is the commissioner for the three year term. Mr. Stur tevant, county treasurer, likewise has qualified before the proper officers, his bond has been approved and is on file with the others. He does not recognize any officials ex cept those legally elected. The Genoa pretenders never have had any authority of law or of fact. Children can play horse with a broom-stick, and men may be foolish enough to play county officers, but one is as abortive as the other. Respectfully, Brad. D. Slaughter. P. S. FulIerto is the couuty sent of Nance county, and will so remain until three-fifths of the legal voters of Nance county determine other wise. "Gad." ffOln the Hastings (lazeltc iu your issue of Dec. 17th; it seems rather late for the government to dcci 'c that cottonwood aud box elder are not included in the list of forest trees iu tho letter of the law, a hen it has been so conceded lor ears and hundreds of men have spent large sums of money aud a vast amount of labor to cultivate their trees, these varieties being largely selecled not only because of their lapid growth but also because they are indigenous to the sod and are pcrlectry hardy. Can it be pos sible that all efforts have been fiuit less and now when the time ap proaches for many to enter final proof they are coolly informed that all T. C. entries open to contest aud there is no redress it will make strange thoughts towards a govern ment iu which they have placed im plicit confidence.

It was certainly a grand affair, and iu every particular a success. In the evening thcie was a tree, planted at the school-house near Mr. Elliott's, which was enjoyed by old and young, large and small. The programme of the evening consisted of instrumental and vocal music, re marks and addresses. It was open ed with singing by Mr. John Ed wards, accompanied by a number of friends, followed with vocal and instrumental music by Mrs. Bloe dorn and P. W. Heurich. David Thomas favored the au dience with singing "Robin is shy," when all at once old Santa Clans made his appearance, and began re lieving the bending branches of the tree of their enormous weight, aud distributing the presents candies, apples, mils, etc., etc., which created joy and mirth beyond all imagina tion. "When all these things were done, our worthy president, Dr. Armstrong, addressed the audience with some very appropriate re marks. More music by Mrs. Bloedorn and P. "W. Henrich and our Welsh friends. If we had had a house three times as large we could prob ably have sealed at least one-half the audience, but so it was. The entertainment, consisting of the tree, etc., was followed by a sociable, iu which the young folks all participated, and after which the gents escorted the ladies to their respective homes, all agreeing that it was all iu all a most enjoyable affair.

We poked up fun. We have tho profouudest respect for the Nebraska delegation, as the hardest woiked, the most en terprising and the most successful delegation ot us size, or twice or thrice its size, iu the National Leg islature. Nebraska City is a good place for a Marine Hospital, aud as the Secretary of the Navy wants one on Ihe Missouri river above Brown ville aud below Sioux City, and wants it in a moral, quiet, healthy point, socially, religiously and at mospherically salubrious, Nebraska City possesses all the qualifications, and is absolutely without a compet itor. Nor did our good-natured reference to the marines have any thing vicious in it. There is a ten dency among some of our friends to (astcn upon tho editor of the Journal the sinister reputation of a funny man, and laugh at our most serious remarks, while they are as solemn and severe as one of Noll Cromwell's lay preachers, when we attempt to make a joke. This is wrong. It is not only wrong, but it is discourag ing. Lincoln Journal. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Finally Mayor Brown appeared iu the ex cited crowd, and advised Mr. French a clerk in the Adjutaut General's office, and who was then engaged with teams iu removing the arms, to return them to the arsenal, as he would lake no responsibility of trouble that might ensue, as he had not farce enough to guarantee the safety of the munitions.
