The grand jury at St. Louis last week, fonnd seventeen indictments against Robert L. Lindsay for con nection with the big Missouri land swindles, and nine against John Brady, and one against Herman Schuster, also concerned in the land frauds. It is statod that W. A. M. Grier, the original Garfield man of Penn sylvania, has visited Washington, and become disgusted with matters there, and has returned home, it is thought with the intention of de clining all office, or at least the office of Third .ARBt. Postmaster General. The President has appointed the following government directors of the Union Pacific railway company for the ensuing year: S. T. Ever ett, Cleveland, O.; R. H. Baker, Raciue, Wis.; Chas. B. Peck, Port Huron, Mich.; George W. Frost Omaha, Neb., and A. Koutzc, New York. There is no necessity whatever for the Secretary of the treasury to force all tho small greenbacks and the national bank notes out of cir culation, as great demand exists among western business men for small bills. All small notes should be permitted to remain in circula tion, and if necessary more added to the volume. Gold and silver are good enough, but very inconvenient. Harper's Weekly puts it thus: "We do not think that we are mis taken in saying that the present im pression of the country is that some kind of arrangement has been made which gives the Republicans the majority, and that the Democrats, acting within the rules of the Sen ate, are preventing the Republicans from turning out seventy or eighty Democratic clerks and messengers and other minor officers, and putting in as many Republicans, and one Democratic Sergeant-at-arms." The statue of Admiral Farragut was uuvcilcd with imposing cere monies at Washington City on the 25th ult. President Garfield was present aud delivered the following brief aud appropriate address: Fellow-Citizens It is a singular province of art to break dowu the limitations which separate genera tions of men from each other and allow those of past generations lobe the comrades and associates of those now living. This capital is silently being filled up with heroes of other times. Men of three wars have taken their places in silent eloquence as guardians and guards of the nation they loved so well, and as years pass on these squares and public places will be rendered more popular more and more eloquent by the presence of dead heroes of other days. From all quarters of the country, from all generations of its life, from all. portions of its service, these heroes come by min iatry and mystery of art to take their places and stand as permanent guar dians of our nation's glory. Senator Voorhees also delivered an address. Mrs. Farragut, widow of the Admiral, was present, aud given the position of honor next the President, and the artist, Mrs. Vin nie Ream Hoxie, was seated next to him on the left. Mr. Rollin H. N. Kelley, Clerk in the general ticket office of the Burlington & Missouri River rail road, was arrested Friday last at the U. P. Depot at Omaha, charged with the embezzlement of a large sum of money from the B. & M. Co. Part of the money was found in his possession and he confosscd to tho offence. He was taken before the police courts, where he waived examination, and ho was committed. He had been in the employment of tho Co. eighteen months. Ho was formerly a farmer iu Saunders coun ty, and was a man of very genial temperament aud formed many friendships. When found at tho depot he was apparently intending to take the U. P. train for the west. He had a package under his arm containing tho funds, amounting to about $1000, which he was about to carry ofi. Wheu arrested, he ex claimed "Oh! my wife and chil dren !" He was held for trial, in a bond of $4,000. Don't KUk it. It would seem liko good law that wheu a stranger offers for sale, to a banker or broker,at a great discount, a note upon a thoroughly responsi ble man, that the very fact of tho low offer ought to bo enough to put tho would-be purchaser upon his inquiry as to the relative rights of original parties to the note. If a good sound horse is offered at a very low price, suspicion at once enters the mind that he was stolen. We believe that an Iowa court has pass ed upon this subject recently, but to what length the decision runs we are net aware. We would cau tion farmers, however, against the whole tribe of traveling tricksters and note-takers. Deal with men you kuow. Buy of regular dealers, whether it be dry-goods, jewelry or wire-fence. Sign no paper to a strangor, and then it will not be necessary for a court to pass upon the validity of your note. The recent high waters of the Missouri and Mississippi have over flown millions of acres of land, des troyed immense amounts of property and made thousauds of families homeless. The bottoms between the bluffs at Nebraska City, from eight to ten miles wide, were one sheet of water. Farms are ruined, houses destroyed aud slock gone. Alex. Noble, a farmer living near Ham burg, was drowned while endeavor ing to save his family. The town was partially inundated. At the time of the flood 100 families of Brownville were perched like birds in the trees, and on house tops, waiting and praying for relief. Every man and boat was engaged in the work of rescue. Tho river at that point was two feet higher than during the big flood of 1867, which was the highest water ever known in this country. The river at St. Joseph on the 27th ult., was twenty-two feet six inches above low water mark, and rising slowly. Many families have been rescued from their inundated houses in the bottom lands, where the peo ple are generally in destitute cir cumstances. All available flat boats have been in use removing people and stock. An old man and his wife, seventy or eighty years old, were rescued from the Elmwood bottom, where they were living in a one story house, having been two or three days surrounded by a swift current, a mile from land, with the water two feet deep in the house. Two men with a skiff discovered them aud brought them to the city. They had been in the water until their limbB were cramped and they were helpless. Tax Payers Association. The idea of an association, with out respect to parly affiliation, that would look a little after the public interests in the matter of assessing, levying and collecting the taxes, and then as to how the money thus rais ed is spent, by whom, and for what purposes, gains ground. A corres pondent hands ns tho following: "A good time to organize a tax payers' association is right now, and be ready to look over the assessment when returns are made, attend the meetings of the board of equaliza tion in June, see who pays taxes for what they owu or don't own, exam ine books, and see where the money goes, &c, &c. A move that should have been made in years past, is an interesting study for those of an industrious disposition aud investi gating mind." Tlmt Herd Law. Editor Journal : In the Schuyler Sun of a recent dntc there is a com munication on the subject of Senator Turner's amendment to the herd law, over tho signature of " F." I should be sorry to give an unfair definition to the capital, but it seems to stand for Fault-finder, for I can not believe any person who will give the subject the thought it de mauds, or even deserves, but will see its wisdom for tho future, and its imperative justice for the present. As a matter of public policy, inde pendent of its individual right of protection to our meadow lauds, shows the wisdom of its enactment. Prior to the adoption of the general herd law in 1871, the statute books were covered all over with local herd laws, enacted to suit the neigh borhood in which it was desired, aud were as often as varied iu their ope ration as the locality diversified in penalties and restrictions, fostering bitterness of feeling and angry liti gation. The enactment of the gen eral law wiped out the feuds of the past, and has worked so admirably that nearly every agricultural writer who has visited our state for the purpose of learning the operation ot the herd law, has commended it as a grand advauco in economising tho expenditure of opening up now farms. It is no surprise, then, that the herd law, with Senator Turner's amendment, "receives so much ap proval on the part of newspaper men ;""they are tho faithful heralds of our advantages, and are ever on tho alert to discovor aud proclaim to the enquiring thousands seeking the state that offers the best induce ments to the industrious aud intelli gent Immigraut. The amendment now incorporated with the general herd law was a part of the original law, but for prudential reasons was stricken out; it was endorsed iu spirit, but the country was not con sidered sufficiently settled to require it, but the iucrease of farms and farmers in the past ten years, has made it imperative that meadow lands he protected. Hay is becom ing oue of the most profitable aud essential products of a Nebraska farm; the prudent and thoughtful man that plans Jus work before hand, will utilize the plowed strip and not let weeds be the only pur pose for its use that the correspond ent " F." seems to take alarm at. It will be the best safeguard from sweeping fires, and may be made to check the drifting snows by the cultivation of timber, and thus add largely to the value aud beauty of the farm. No, no, friend " P.," the advanta ges to be gained by tho amendment, in a few years, will far outweigh the present burden or expense of plowing annually the bugbear of a strip around 1C0 acres of meadow land. h.
