The Future Capitol.
The removal of the capitol of the
United States is again being agitat
ed, and it is to be hoped that the
agitation will continue until the time
shall be fully ripe for the change.
We would like to see the national
debt all paid olT, first. The present
bnildings, however, have become
inadequate for the increasing busi
ness of the government, and some
provision must be made, either by
rental or by the erection of addi
tional buildings, the estimated cost
of which would be, in round num
bers, $18,000,000. It becomes, there
fore, a matter for immediate action,
and we would like to see the entire
west (through their legislatures in
structing their senators and request
ing their representativesVdemand a
removal, for these apparent reasons:
the present site is not central; it is
unwholesome ; the capitol is insecure
a repetition of the humiliation of
1814 ought to be placed beyond
reasonable doubt.
The graudest country iu the world
happens to be centrally located in
the United -States the Mississippi
Valley, which includes of course all
tributaiies thereto, aud in it some
where should be placed the capitol,
aud the grounds laid out on a mag
nificent scale, commensurate with
what the wildest imagination among
reasonable men can picture of our
couutry five hundred years to come.
Locate it centrally, for all time;
plan it for the ages; build it solid,
as the granite upou which our crust
of earth is built; and then build as
far and as fast as our necessities
conjoined with our ability will
allow.

Snyder, who boarded with the Go
gels, was believed to be the mur
derer. He was caught by an infu
riated mob, and after making con
fession of his crime, a rope was
placed around his neck, and then
hanged to the limb of a chestnut
tree that stood near the house until
he was dead. He stated iu his con
fession that he was iu love with the
daughter of Gogel, aged 10, and was
opposed by her parents. He be
lieved by killiug them all opposition
to his suit would be removed.
The cold wave visited other por

Reports from New York, Illinois,
Georgia, Missouri, Dakota, District
of Columbia. South Carolina, Vir
ginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indi
ana, Ohio, Alabama and North
Carolina, give an unusual slate of
the weather in the amount of snow
and the extreme cold for certain
localities. It is said that the snow
in North Carolina is the heaviest
and most severe known for twenty
years, and in Alabama the heaviest
ever known. The thermometer
marked lower in Louisiana than
ever known and the greatest snow
fall. Three snow storms occurred
lest week in Virginia aud snow now
blocks the roads aud stops travel.
A disturbance occurred last week
at Southville, not far from Fort
Monroe, between a white man nam
ed Dunn, and a party of colored
men who had met to organize a mil
itary company. One of the men
caught Dunn by the whiskers and
slapped his face, whereupon he drew
a pistol and killed the negro. Dunn
ran and a crowd followed him head
ed by Dan Cook with a drawn sword
who attacked him. He shot Cook
dead, alter which he seized a butch
er knife aud cut his way out. He
wonnded Ed. Drew badly and he
will probably die, while others are
more or less injured. Dun gave
himself up and is now in jail at
Williamsburg.
Justice Paytox, bafore whom ex
Gov. Scott was tried on the charge
of the murder of young Dury, pro
nounced the deed murder in the first
degree, and Scott was taken to jail.
During the investigation evidence
was produced showing that Scott
had declared, some time ago, that he
would shoot dead any person who
would influence his son to drink, or
sell him intoxicating drink. It is
understood that young Drury was
taking care of Scott's boy while
under the influence of liquor.
Mrs. Freicker, of Hoboken, N.
Y., was found strangled in her bath
room the other day, with suspicious
circumstauces surrounding her death
and the servaut girl in charge of the
family and her husband were ar

she found-her hanging in the bath
room.
An exchange says that "Mr.Van

l.incolit Correspondence.
Lincoln, Dec. 31, 18S0.
The cold weather has moderated
somewhat, although the average cit
izen cannot yet complain of suffering
intense heat.
The snow gives an opportunity
for sleighing that is turned to ad
vanlnge by everybody, from the man
who owns a costly cutter, and drives
a handsome pair of trotters to the
"jingling of the bells," down to the
little urchin with his geutle pouy
between two long sticks fastened
under'a store-box, and the gentle
beast guided by a stout twine string.
What is it in Nebraska that makes
the lads and the lasses so brusquely
independent, so ingenious? Is it
our extended horizon, which is only
limited by the natural power of the
eye ; is it the soil, out of which comes
no malaria, or is it the bounteous
free air of the Nebraska heavens?
Whatever it may be, let us be thank
ful, and hope that these bright-eyed,
rosy cheeked boys and girls may
grow up to be clear-brained and
-pure-hearted men aud women. I
sometimes think that we elders (as
President Hayes might phrase it)
"forget what we should never fail
to remember," that upon these is the
hope of the country, and we should
giye them more of our time and at
tention, to the end that they may be
better than we.
Lincoln is a lively town. The
cold weather of course has stopped
nearly all outside work ou build
ings, but plastering goes on all the
same, and everybody keeps busy.
The state and the uation have done
a great deal lor the city in tho way
of appropriations for public build
ings, aud from the whisperings I
hear, now and again, another appro
priation will be asked of the legis
lature to complete the capitol build
ing, the erection of "a wing" to
which was provided for by the last
legislature. It seems to me that the
State can afford to wait at least an
other two years. I hear uoue speak
of the matter but say that "Boss"
Stout, the contractor, will lose mon
ey ou this deal. At a rough guess,
however, I should say that his
profits from the State have exceeded
the losses so much that sympathy on
his account would not be very be
coming to those who foot the bills.
Members elect and claimants to
seats are arriving every day, and
the senatorial pot is beginning to
simmer. From present appearances
everything points to Senator Pad
dock as his own successor. Some
have considered Gov. Nance as Mr.
Paddock's chief contestant for sena
torial honors, but I am assured by
friends of both that the Governor is
strongly for Paddock, and is himself
not a candidate at all. It may be
safely written that if the Governor
Is a candidate he will be elected, or,
as his opponents put it, he will not
be a candidate unless he is.sure of
making it.
The Commercial House will be
headquarters for the lobbyists. Ev
erything there in the new part of
their building is topsy-turvy, but
they are hard at work setting things
to rights.
Candidates for clerical and other
positions in the Senate aud House
are here in force, pressing their
claims. As only one person can be
chosen, it is saddening to think of
the total amount of disappointment
and chagrin there will be, for the
number is legion.
Wampum.
Lincoln, Jan. 2d, '81.
Senator Evans of Butler, together
with representatives Jausen and
Robberts, arrived in the city yester
day. A good report may be expect
ed of them.
"Gad" Slaughter is also here, and
will probably be elected Chief Clerk
of the House. His ability may be
classified as "superb." He is per
haps as good a parliamentarian as
there is in Nebraska, and therefore
useful to the Speaker. His only
opponent, so far, is Geo. L. Brown
of Butler county, who is likewiso
well qualified for the positiou.
Church Howe is confident of elec
tion as Speaker, but it is to be hoped
that the choice may fall upon some
man having more fully the confi
dence of the people.
G H. Gere aud Gen. VanWyck
have been mentioned for president
pro tern, of the Senate.
The probability at present is that
the first contest iu the Senate will be
upon the adoption of rules. Iu the
Senate of four years ago, the body
appointed its own committees; in
that of two years ago, the appoint
ments were made by the Lieut. Gov
ernor, and there will be a strenuous
effort made to adopt the rules of
.the last session in that particular-
The contest will be all the more ani
mated it should, by its importance,
become a test between opposing sen
atorial candidates, or a trial of
strength between monopoly and
anti-monopoly sections of the Senate.
Gov. Nance has been given as
authority for saying that this session
will be the liveliest iu the history of
the State.
"Boarding aud lodging houses are
in very bribk demand.
T. A. Saunders is here, and stauds
a good chance for becoming door
keeper of tho House, with only a
dozeu applicants against him.
The ladies of the city put on their
best dresses aud sweetest smiles yes
terday, and received New Years
caliers. These went in all manner
of shapes, but always well dressed,
of course. In some quarters it wo'd
be considered very vulgar to appear
iu clothes tint were not the very
hoight of fashion, but a much less
offense against propriety to be
"unco' full." "What phantoms we
are and what phantoms we pursue,"
to be sure.
Lincoln has only six saloons. Let
me see, is it thirteen yon have iu
Columbus?
From what I hear, the temperance
people will ask for b.-'li of two
things: a prohibitory law to go iuto
immediate effect, and the submission
of a prohibitory amendment of the
constitution. There are members
who would vote for the latter, that
would uot for the former, because,
while not prohibitionists, they yet
assent to the legal right of the peo
ple to pass upon such a law. There
are others who would favor neither
of these propositions, but would
readily accede to a law laying heavy
peualties upon the sale of adulterat
ed liquors; selling to minors; to
confirmed drunkards; making, the
sale prohibitory to such ; passing a
law making damages, collectable;
requiring a high license and a heavy
bond. And thus the average legis
lators, like the average citizens,
differ in their methods of dealing
with the confessed evils of inebriety.
Hon. Thos.' J. Majors, contingent
congressman is in the city to visit
during the session. I also met to
day Capt. Lovejoy of Niobrara.
Thursday is inauguration day.

Editor Journal: Your adver
tisement for carders aud spinners of
wool has reminded me that there is
a good opening in Columbus for a
new enterprise, viz: the carding and
spinning of wool by machinery aud
its manufacture iuto yarns and kuit
goods of various kinds. Such a
manufacture can be carried on with
a comparatively small amouut of
capital and very little machinery,
beiug another opening for dormant
labor, besides making a market at
home for the rapidly increasing
wool crop of Central Nebraska.
Where, theu, are the would-be en
terprising men of capital of Colum
bus? Do they suppose that they
can bring their city back to its for
mer prosperity by merely waiting
(Micawber like) lor something to
turn up? If they do, they will be
sadly mistaken, for in all healthy
conditions of society demand and
supply are commensurate with each
other, and it will be time enough
wheu they have put their own shoul
ders to 'the wheel for manufacturers
and artisaus to come to their assist
ance. In this connection I would
call attention to the fact that citizens
of Knox Co. are establishing a wool
en factory, having procured the nec
essary machinery to go into opera
tion the coming spring, and for the
purpose of encouraging persons tb
go into the raising of sheep in a
section of couutry where there are
now comparatively few.
Again, where are our wool grow
ers ? the Lord's, Barker's, New
man's, Murray's and such men ; are
they doing anything to promote
their own interests, and benefit the
communities in which they reside,
by combined efforts to establish a
market lor their produce at home
as well as to improve the grades of
their flocks? or is each one travel
ing his own road regardless of the
fact that in union there is strength,
and when so combined, even though
they may be compelled to seek a
distant market, they cau command
better freight terms than under ex
isting circumstances.
Again, is Columbus doing any
thing to promote the growth ot Flax
and its products? Hundreds ol
tons of straw are rotting iu the fields
for want of capital and energy to
turn it into ropes, cordage, and pa
per, articles of every day demand
aud for which we arc constantly
sending money out of the country
which might and should be spent at
home. Even the seed has no market
here, but is bought by distant man
ufacturers through their agents
whose commissions as well as the
freight paid to the railroads for car
rying it to its destination must both
be deducted from the price which
would be received by the grower
had he a permanent market at home.
It is high time that the citizens of
Columbus were being- aroused to the
necessity of action if they would not
see their neighbors outstrip them in
the race, and their city remanded to
the position of a country village.

JLiternry Societies.
The formation of the Literary
society at the High School, this city,
has been hailed as the dawn of an
intellectual life for the youths of
Columbus. This is tho foundation
upon this you can rear a superstruct
ure so broad and high that it will
become a beacon-lisiht to those who
como alter you. Iu connection with
this, you must read, you must study,
you must cultivate habits of reflec
tion. One thing is certain, no man
has ever attained to anything great,
good, or excellent, who read only
lor amusement. All uovels and
thrilling stories are read for that, and
that only. There is a volume en
titled "Footprints of Great Men."
How many of you have read that
work? Perhaps some of yon are
ready to exclaim, "What are great
men to us ? We are humble farmers
and mechanics," granted. But are
you not Americans, citizens of this
glorious, free republic. Is not the
same field to future greatness open
to you that has born open to your
predecessors; and has not a large
proportion of the great men of our
country sprung from your ranks?
Tis uot wealth nor high positiou in
society you need. 'Tis ambition to
stand among the great. There is no
couutry on the globe that offers such
a field for ambition as your own;
and if you study you will find that
many of the same qualities are re
quisite to mnkc good fanners and
skilled mechanics, which are needed
to make statesmen or philosophers."

Editor Journal: According to
promise, I herewith present you
with a statement of the amouut
made in one year trom eight cows,
three of which are heifer?. I made
and sold during the year 1880 1200
pounds of butter, and realized there
from $209 33. Five of the cows
calved last May, the other three in
October and the first ot November.
For the live May calves, I was offer
ed to-day fifty dollars. I estimate
the eight cdves to be worth $75.00,
which, added to the butter proceeds,
makes a total of $284.33 as the direct
proceeds of the eight cows for the
year. The milk and butter-milk not
consumed by the calves I fed to
hogs, and they grow and thrive
wonderfully upon it. I fed some
corn to the hogs during the year.
Sold fourteen fat hogs, two last
April and twelve in December
which weighed 33G0 pounds, from
which 1 realized $127.40, the indirect
proceeds from the cows, making a
total, diiect aud indirect of, $411.73.
