Hay Lands.
During the summer there waB a
decision by the Supremo Court,
touching tresspass on hay lands in
Nebraska, that is more or less inter
esting to all farmers. Hay lands are
among the valuables on Nebraska
farms, as those have found who have
plowed up their natural meadow
land. It not unfrequeutly happens
that the hay crop iB more valuable
than the grain crop, aud it certainly
is almost indispensable, but if any
one may herd his cattle upon it,
simply because it is not inclosed or
cultivated, it may be well enough to
"cultivate" it a little by running a
harrow over it, and top-dressing it,
seeing that fencing is almost out of
the question. Of course tho Su
premo Court are not authorized to
make laws, but only to give con
struction to the meaning of laws, but
it will be the fault of the people and
of their legislature if the ucxt ses
sion docs not see a change in the
laws on this subject.
As there has been considerable
discussion over this subject, wo ad
dressed a communication to lion.
Guy A. Brown, reporter of tho Su
premo Court, who answered our
inquiry : "The decision is that,
uuder the laws as now existing,
stock can run at largo on uninclosed,
uncultivated, wild or prairio land,
and the owner of such stock is not
liable iu an action of trespass' for
damages done."
It 6eoms very strange to many
sensible people that the owner of
lands, who pays the taxes on the
same, bears his portion of the public
burden, should not, by that public,
be protected in his right to the use
of the grass growing thereon, the
most valuable, because the least ex
pensive, crop grown in this country.
The supreme court remarks: "it
is claimed, and possibly with justice,
that tho time has now arrived when,
by reason of the great increase in
the density of the population of the
state, aud tho enhanced value of
grazing land, the owners of such
laud should be protected in its ex
clusive enjoymeut, the sam as land
sown to crops. If tho time has
arrived for such change, tho legisla
ture, and not the court 6, is the place
where it should bo inaugurated."
A few questions right here may or
may not be considered portineu t to
the subject, as for instance: why
should not tho owner of grazing or
hay land be protected in its exclu
sive enjoyment, and just when and
just how does this "exclusive enjoy
ment" begin and end? By what "due
process of law," such as is required
by the constitution, has tho owner of
grass or hay land been deprived of
the "exclusive enjoyment" of the
same? If the owner should not
have the "exclusive 'enjoyment" ot
his laud, why should he have the
exclusive high privilege of paying
taxes on the same? Has the owner
of grass land any rights that any
body ol6e is bound to respect ?
The patriotic citizens of Ireland
arc arming themselves for the con
flict, and the tenants of Longford
county have threatened their land
lords and their agents with death if
they are required to pay rents abovo
Griffettc's valuation. Tho peasantry
are gathering in great numbers at
Ballinrode. The government force
of 150 infantry, with two rifle can
non, aud 150 of the royal Irish con
stabulary, acting as an escort for the
Orangemen, arrived at Claremorris
on the 11th, and proceeded at once
to march to Mr. Baycolt's residence
at Loughmarsh. Tho eighty-fourth
regiment and detachment are ex
pected to join the army of protection
at Dollymount. It is stated that the
local officers were bubily engaged in
preparing the work-house as an in
firmary for the reception of the
wounded. The government has,
howevor, tfiven strict orders to
officers and troops to oxercise great
forbearance, and not by any means
fire upon the people, except under
the most critical circumstances.
Whon the troops left Castlo Bar to
reinforce the Claremorris contingent
great excitement prevailed among
the people, who had assembled to
witness their departure. The inhab
itants hooted at the soldiers and
police, and seeing 6omn Orangemen
among them, they Bhoutcd, "Down
with the Orangemen." Moro than
G,000 troops and police were then
stationed to protect the road bc
tweeu Balliuroadc and Claremorris.
It is feared in Dublin that the
trouble has only commenced.
Frank M. Biedenihjrg, of Noblo
county, Ohio, returned home late
one night last week while tho mem
bers of his family were soundly
Bleeping. He entered the room
where his wife and child were sleep
ing, and with an ax, by one blow the
skull of his wifo was crushed, and
tho little boy received a blow across
the throat by the sharp edge of the
axe, which almost severed the head
from the body. IIo passed into
another room occupied by a Mrs.
Stephens, her child aud the hired
girl. He killed Mrs. Stephens and
child by blows with tho poll of the
ax. At this point the hired girl
awoke, and in trying to make her
escape was knocked down aud left
for dead, but subsequently revived
and gave the alarm to the neighbors,
who made search for him, but ho
was not found until morning, when
he was discovered in an old tobacco
house with his throat cut, but not
sufficiently deep to prove fatal. lie
was taken to Caldwell and placed in
the county jail.
Township.
It will be remembered that at the
recent election a vote was taken
upon the adoption of Township
Organization, the question having
been submitted by tho Commission
ers in pursuance of a petition by
voters, to that effect. Hadtheques
tiou been properly beforo the voters,
upon its just merits, we do not doubt
but that it would have 1 en adopted.
We believe that no baling were cast
upon the proposition iu Columbus
or in Monroe, two among the most
populous precincts of the county.
It was generally known that tho
present law had been declared un
constitutional, aud that there was no
use in voting, one way or the other.
For tho benefit of those who may
not have had an opportunity to seo
the decision of the Supreme Court,
we give below the Byllabus :
"To adopt township organization
it requires a majority of all the legal
voters of the county, voting at the
general election, at which the ques
tion is submitted.
The act of Feb. 1G,'77. entitled "an
act to provide for township organi
zation," embraces several subjects
not indicated by the title, and us
these several subjects are dependent
on each other and form iuseperable
parts of the samo law, tho whole act
is unconstitutional and void."
The United States circuit court
decided a case last week affecting
tho title of thousands of acres ot
laud in this state. The parties to
the case were Knavals vs. Blakely
and others, decided on demurrer iu
favor of the plaintiff. The questions
involved arise out of a grant of land
made by congress to aid in the con
struction of the St. Joseph & Den
ver railroad, which was to run from
Elwood in Kansas via Marysvil'o to
a junction with the Union Pacific or
any branch thereof, which condi
tion, it was claimed, wiw broken,
aud that the B. & M. was not a
branch of the U. P. road. It is said
that this decision affects the title to
1S.000 acres of land in Nuckolls
county alone. Thayer, Lancaster,
Seward, Clay, Jefferson aud other
couuties arc affected iu the same
way. The plaintiff in the case de
cided claimed title to the lauds iu
controversy from tho railroad, while
the defendants claim under tho gov
ernment. The decision will serious
ly affect the fanners in the counties
named. It is presumed they will
have some rights in equity.
Titos. IIanlin, of New York, last
week shot Gertrude Varena, a sister
of Mercy attached to St. John's
Home, a charitablo institution of the
Episcocal church New York city.
Just at the time when the lady was
about to enter the Home, he drew a
large revolver without uttering a
word and fired at her, tho shot tak
ing effect above the left knee. Be
fore assistance could arrivo the vil
lain fired three moro shots id her, the
la&t one taking effect in her thigh.
He was overpowered and taken to
tho police station. Ho says the
witches have been bothering him
for years, talking to him continually,
and inspiring him to tho deed. The
woman suffered greatly, but it is
hoped the wounds will not j)rovu
fatal.
The case of Ken
iward Philp,j
charged with tho libel of Gen. Gar
field, in connection with tho Morcy
Chineso letter reached a decision
from Chief Justice Davis on the 13th
inst., the judge holding that no
newspaper had tho right to publish
as genuine any forged or false in
strument. Tho Morcy letter is a
forgery, and the editorial article
calling Garfield a liar is libelous.
Judge Davis concludes his decision
by saying that the evidence in the
case also tends to establish a great
conspiracy concerted, or at least
abetted by men in high station in
life. The question of their actual
guilt will be left to a jury of their
countrymen to decide. Philp was
held to bail to answer tho charge
A party that permits its agents to
accomplish frauds by bribery, per
jury and subornation of perjury is
not a political party to bo trusted
with the management of any depart
ment in tho American republic. It
now transpires that Samuel S. Morcy
and James O'Brien, alias Lindsay,
alias Berry, witnesses in the Philp-Moroy-Garfield-Chincse-letter
case
make confession and expose every
thing connected with their testimony
showing that S. S. Moroy was paid
at democratic national headquarters
$1,000 by check, and that his testi
mony in the case was false. James
O'Brien, alias Robert LindBay, also!
admits a monoy consideration, and

"Brick" Pomf.rov in his Great
West denounces the recent disgrace
ful riot which occurred in Denver,
which he characterizes "as a cow
ardly mob that went about robbing
and murdering the Chinese. Tho
Mayor should have gone at onco to
the place where murder was being
committed, commanded, not politely
asked, the rioters to disperse, aud if
the streets were not cleared iu five
minutes, should have belched grape
and canister into tho mob of brutes
aud cowards that were at their hell
ish work. This is the only way to
deal with mobs."
Miss Kitty Matthews, a serio
comic siuger, while filling an en

and after a lingering illness, died ou

Telegrams from Irclaud up to
tho 13.li iu-u., brings the good uovvb
that no conflict had tRkeu place be
tween the government troops and
citizens, which is claimed to be due
to the leaders of the land league,
who have foresight enough to avoid
a conflict just uow. There are ru
mors that serious dissensions cxi.jt
in the Biitish cubine, which will
probably end iu the adoption of
some plan by which the government
will buy out all the landlords in hc
land for a very reasonable sum of
money, and then present the land
to the tenantry on fixed conditions.
Doubtless the landlords would be
willing to sell.
Gen. Sherman, it is believed, will
go upon the retired list next spring,
having served the thirty years re
quired by law to qualify him for
,Iuntary retirement. It this action
is taken on the part of Gen. Sher
man, it will imke a vacancy on the
active H which will probably bring
Lieut. Gen. Sheridan to Washington
as commander ot the army, and open
the way ior Sluj. Gen. Hancock's
transfer to Ci.ic.igo, if he desires to
acii'pt it. This would place Gen.
ll:wici)ck in a very active and im
portant military position, embracing
nearly the whole theatre of the In
dian operations, aud the greater
part of the active forces of tho army.
