A'cbraiika'N Voice.
The custom of instructing dele
gates to national republican conven
tions is still, it appears, Jo',he
strictly observed in tho coming
contest. The propriety of this
course has long been questioned, And
the bitter, lasting feuds it has creat
ed among the 'friends; and in-8onie
cases' among thVcandidatejLilfeiri:
selves, is a strong proof againstthe
custom. The object of 'the mass of
the republican voters, who are not
influenced by the hope of office in
their action, is toecure the nomina
tion of the best qualified and most
available man for the position. How
would it be possible for the delega
tion from Nebraska, for instance, to
vote for such a man when their in
structions were in an opposite di
rection and for a different caudidate ?
The custom for instructing appears
to us about as wise as it would be to
select a general to conduct a battle,
and then, without accurate knowl
edge of the movements yet to be
made by the enemy, proceed to lay
down a cast-iron programme. The
United States comprises a large ter
ritory, and it is next to impossible
to ascertain the wishes, desires aud
opinions of the people from the mul
ticiplicity of localities from which
delegates 'are sent to the national
republican convention, until the
delegates assemble, and hear fijom
each particular locality, everything
that ought to be considered and
weighed by the convention in mak
iug Its unbiased decision. "Wo sin
cerely hope that the republicans of
Nebraska will act the part of wis
dom and refrain from imposing
upon their delegates to the national
republican convention instructions
which in any way may tend to in
terfere with the free action of that
body, in selecting the best qualified
and most available man as" the rc
rcpublican candidate. Let large
minded, honest men of ability, rep
resentative Republicans, be chosen ;
lurther than this, they should, in
their preference?, represent the pref
erence of their party in the State,
that is to say : if Nebraska republi
cans, in State convention, shall prove
to be the same as we judge'thcy are,
out of convention, the State will be
overwhelmingly for Blaine of Maine,
second, probably for Grant; in no
case for any one but a thorough
going, well-known, staunch Repub
lican aud patriot. In other words
let the will, the wish and the long
ing of Nebraska Republicans be
represented at Chicago by men of
like mind with themselves.
Mr. Hanson, who stands at the
head of the land department in
Omaha, recently stated to the Oma
ha Bee that never, in his whole
experience has immigration iu Feb
ruary been as heavy as it is during
the present year. He says he is
perfectly overwhelmed with inquir
ies from prospective buyers and
land men. He predicts that March
will see uch a tide of emigration to
the state as will seriously tax the
resources of the company to trans
port them. On the 25th ult. .85. laud
buyers went west on No. 3, and four
extra coaches were added to the
train in order to accommodato the
crowd of second aud third-class
passengers. The great majority of
land buyers thus far in the season
are Americans. A large colony of
Pennsylvanians weut west in the
afternoon of tho same day, and
Pennsylvania aud Ohio seem to be
furnishing the greatest number of
those going out along the line.
Among the passengers of whom wo
have made mention aud who pur
chased land tickets, was a Maine
farmer who is looking for a large
tract on which to locate a colony
from the Pine Tree state. He" told
the agent that he wished to purchase
about 12,000 acres.
It is very evident from tho pro
ceedings of the Republican conven'-'
tion of the State of New York, that'
its delegation to the national Repub
Iicau convention, will cast a unani
mous vote for Gen. Grant. Among
other resolutions the convention
adopted the following:
Resolved, That the republicans of
New York believe the renomination
of Ulysses S. Graut as a presidential
candidate of urgent importance, and
delegates arc called upon and in
structed to use their most earnest
and united efforts to secure lfis
nomination
A delegate moved that in case
Grant is not nominated at Chicago
the delegation be instructed to vote
as a unit for James G. Blaine. Mr.
Conkling moved to table the motion,
which was carried.

region, supplying it with lumber for
its immenso improvements in tho
shape of dwelling houses on farms

are pouring their wooden wealth
upon us the cars will not go back
empty, but will carry a goodly share
of our surplus products millions of
bushels of wheat and corn, thous
ands of head of cattle aud hogs, etc.,
and thus the corporation which has
projected this line and which means
to push it right through, will find
work both ways and profit withal.
We cling to the proposition of man
ufactures for Columbus; the raising
of sheep, cattle and hogs, and the
pushing of the dairy interest for
Platte county, but of course we can
not but welcome any competing
line of railroad that may be turned
in this direction. "We don't purpose
putting a single obstruction on the
track, but on the contrary would
welcome them with all the para
phernalia of public rejoicing, with
enthusiastic processions, streaming
banners, loud-mouthed music, and a
general "feast of reason and flow of
soul." Let them all come, and let
us go to work with a will, every
land-owner, every property owner,
every resident in central Nebraska,
to secure a good family of workers
for every quarter section of land, to

with one of the officers of the new
company, we have important infor
mation which will be public iu

The reception of Gen. Grant at
the City of Mexico last week was a
grand affair. The depot was illum
inated with Chinese lanterns and
decorated with American flags.
"When Gen. Grant moved forward
in the carriage a magnificent arch
came into view illuminated by Ben
gal lights, on which appeared the
word "Welcome." Five hundred
rural dragoons with lighted torches
illuminated the procession to Min
eral college. An immense proces
sion formed and inarched past Gen.
Grant's apartment, paying him
marked honors.
The notorious Kearney is stirring

Every largo city should haye on

On the 23d ult., the house com
mittee agreed to report favorably on
representative Valentine's bill for
the relief of settlers upon public
lands. It provides that when a pre

office the land covered by such claim
shall be held as open to settlement
and entry without further action on
the part of the commissioner general

A committee of the eastern and
western Trunk lines met the other
day in Chicago and decided to re
duce rates on grain between Chicago
and the seaboard five cents per hun
dred pounds, to take effect on March
1st. A corresponding reduction on
other articles was agreed on, to take
effect March 8. The Chicago Times
says the reduction is a niggardly
oiip, and it is doubtful if it will move

A company has recently been
formed in New York with a capital
stock of $30,000,000, for the purpose
of building a railroad from Hoboken
along the Hudson to Schenectady,
thence along the Mohawk to Utica,
and by way of Syracuse to Buffalo.
The project is said to be in the in

It turns out upon investigation
that Albert L. Anfin, the sou of very
respectable parents, and who was
an employee in the post-office at
"Wisner, is the man who robbed the
office last week of about $700. Most
of the money has been recovered
and the young man is now confined
