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. Further develop
ments will be awaited with interest.

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. Listener.

the State Journal remonstrates
against some imaginary luu "poked"
Lat somebndv iu our indorsement of
the Marine Hospital iu Nebraska
City. Far be it from us. 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

Our winter school, which has been
successfully conducted by a resident
teacher, Mis9 Maria Miles, has just
closed, to the regret of the scholars,
who would be glad if it lasted nine
mouths instead of three.
Our fanners who are interested in
timber claims are desirous of know
ing the truth of the avincles copied
Gkeat excitement prevailed among
the citizens of Bangor, Mc, on the
2Gth, when it was discovered that
Gov. Garcelon had ordered the re
moval of arms and ammunition from
the Stnte Arsenal to the depot for
transportation to Augusta,thc streets
were filled with excited citizens at
once, declaring the arms 6hould nev
er be carried out of the city. 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. French de
cided it best to return the arms to
tho arseual rather than incur the
hazard of a riot.
Xine persons belonging to the
crew of the steamer Borussia, ply
ing between New Orleans and Liv
erpool, arrived at Queenstown last
week, having beeu picked up in a
small boat by a vessel. The Borus
sia encountered such severe weather
on her voyage that she, had to be
abandoned. The crew numbered
fifty-four, and her passengers ose
hundred and eighty. Only sixty
persons left the steamship in small
boats, the remainder going down
with the foundered craft. Except
the number of persons above named,
.it is feared that all were lost.
