The statement is made that the cost for the employes of the last legisla ture exceeded by some $8,000 that paid those of any preceding session ever held in the state. It being expected that the Na tional Encampment, G. A. R., will be held at Sacramento in 1880, the Cal ifornia legislature has appropriated $25,000 to defray the expenses. The governor of Dakota has, it is reported, vetoed the capital removal bill, which defeats the bill, as a con stitutional majority cannot be ob tained to pass it over the veto. President Cleveland has sent a message to the senate withdrawing the Nicarauguan, Spanish and Dominican treaties, which will be re turned at once to the executive. It seems that a bill providing for the election of a county attorney, defining his duties, &c, passed the legislature and became a law. He will bo elected as other connty officers aro. The special grand jury at Lincoln returned an indictment Saturday against detective Pound, charging him with the murder of James Griffin, who was killed in attempting to rob the state treasury. Senator Manderson offered a res olution the other day calling upon the secretary of state for such information as. that department may have regard ing -the rumored confederation of states in Central America.

Mackin and William Gal lagher, who were found guilty in the eighteenth ward election case in Chicago, were 6enteuced the .other day by Judge Blodgett, to two years each imprisonment in Joliet and also to pay a fine.of $5,000 each. In the nazen.court-martial case the couBserfor the defense caused a sen sation in court by the statement that the articles given to the public assail ing Gen. Hazen for writing the letter to the secretary of war in the Greeley expedition will be traced to that offi cial and to his own band and desk; Some of our citizens -believe 'that the commission law with reference to railroads will. result favorably to the interests of the state ; that, in fact, it. will work well for Nebraska. In .thin opinion we are not able to share. It seems to ns a device in the interests of the railroads, from first to last, and virtually a plea for longer time. It appears to one not engaged in the. business, of shipping grains, but jadging alone from the distance aid quoted prices, that Denver is' a Bunch better market for.onr farmers to 'send IMr grain than to Chicagav.r Cora in blk was quoted last week in Dearer, at 75c J sacked, 82c; chopped 87c.

At the same, tie,.ia Chieaf 'earn .was qaoted at 38c, aad ate i Whenever you find a maa or a newspaper that denounces Senator Tan Wyck on any aBd on all occas ions yon can rest assured that the newspaper and the man are for rail roads as against the people: So far as we have noticed, the General has come nearer to saying what the peo pie are thinking than any' other man in Washington City, and it seems like a. severely small and mean thing in Nebraska newspapers to be carping at the General and trying to belittle him in the eyes of Nebraskaas. The great metropolitan dailies of the east acknowledge the service which Tan Wyck is doing the country, and are not slow to recognize his worth. Even the Chicago Times, an inde pendent paper with democratic pro clivities, having nothing In common with our senior. Senator, has this to say: "On behalf of the nation, on behalf of honest and worthy men in a-polfri-cal Bociety of sixty millions the Times thanks first the Senator from Nebras ka, '(Mr. Tan Wyck) and secondly the other Senators and Representatives who have in good faith, and without any mental reservation, pronounced the national veto-on the most bold and iniquitous attempt at land piracy that has scandalized thii country." The Hermit's Clrcalsstlem. Readers of The Herald will bear out its management in the assertion that its affairs have seldom been in truded npon its columns. It has pro ceeded in its appointed work modest ly and quietly. Boasting has been no part of its methods. It baa made its own way decently and in order, and from having been a venture has be come an establishment. That the publication, though the youngest of the morning dailies, has steadily grown in popular favor The Herald itself has the best of reasons for knowing. -It now makes and is pre pared to maintain the claim that it has the largest morning circulation in Chicago. If this statement should be disputed The Hebald, confident from its own' careful examination of the situation,-will demonstrate its accu racy to any comer who has an obvi ous interest in ascertaining the facts. It will exhibit its circulation with any contemporary caring to make the test. The sales of dealer for dealer, newsboy for newsboy, carrier for car rier, street for 6treet, suburb for sub urb will gladly be shown. In such a comparison the character as well as the number of circulation will be seen. Except in very severe weather, which affects all newspaper sales, The Herald is making a daily increase in its output and has good reason to be lieve the day is near at hand when it will outnumber its contemporaries in this city two to one. Chicago Her ald. Once in a while we see it stated or hear some officer say that bis dnty 'begins when some citizen lays in a complaint of violation of the law. This has always seemed a yery strange doctrine for an official to promulgate with reference to the commission of crime or misde meanors, but "we believe it is only made (not through ignorance on the part of the officials) but by way of slim excuse for not doing what may be a disagreeable datyl Tho Madison Chronicle, referring to this subject, says that somo time ago it took the position "that an official should take an oath to enforce the laws, and failing to do his doty rfhouhl be' 'sent up' lor perjury," and notices that Judge Monroe of Des Moines, has .taken a similar .position with re ference to the enforcement of the prohibitory -law of that state; that a city official who sees the law -violated without arresting or causing the arrest of- the violator, is himself criminal and ought' to be fined and punished. " ' ' ' A terrible double murder occur red the other night near Bond's Mills, a-wayside postoffice in Wise county,"Va.' Some time in February last a young couple named Mr. Hen ton and Miss Reynolds eloped and got married, greatly to the chagrin of a suitor, of the young lady named Mitchell,t who. claims; to have been engaged to the girl. After their re turn Home the parties, met at a dance . given by the young lady's parents and Mitchell got drank, quarrelled with Hehfon and grossly insulted the bride. ' The new husband knocked Mitchell down, anda desperate fight ensued, and the party broke np in a row. The next evening the newly married couple attended a spelling match held in a school house not far away. Failing to reach their home, search waB made for them, and their bodies were found next morning at a lonely spot. Each had been killed by a piBtol shot. They were also beat in a horrible manner and the flesh torn from theitfaces."- Mitchell is suspect ed and can not now be fonnd. " The democrats who expected a sodden jipheavel of the political strata on the Fourth of March and a sadden filling of vacancies by Cleve land's potent "-' commissioners have beea somewhat abashed, and- are beginning to wonder when the time will come. We should say that one year is the least length of time that could reasonably be, allowed for the purpose. Of course, this is ventured merely-to soothe" the feelings of .the brethren while they wait Nebraska Dat at the New Orleans exposition on the 11th inst, was well attended. John, M. Thurston, CoL Meoreaead, Commissioner General. and Prof. C. E. Bessey, of the Ne braska' State University, delivered addresses. Fred. N. Thayer recited a poem and.

The hall inside and outside was represented by about fifty roughs, about two dozen of whom were ejected from the hall by the "officers or the army. The ronghs then united in the rear of the hall and as ahymn was announced would unite in singing, "Get away from dat window." They could not be stopped, and would sing the song though, making the building ring with the chorus, while others kept getting inside the hall keeping up the disturbance until they broke up the meeting. H. C. Morton and J. 8. Bolivay, of Ohio, and W. B. Duke, clerks at $1,800, $1,800 and $1,400 per annum respectfully, and O. L. Judd, tele graph operator, who receives $1,400 a year, being a part of the employes at the White House, have been notified that their services would no longer be required.

Employes of the "Pacific and Wabash railroad at Kansas City, Sedalia and the Missouri Pacific at Atchison all united in a big strike last week. The governor of Mis-, souri has been asked to call out the militia to suppress the strike at Sedalia. At Atchison the strikers have been refusing to let more than an engine and mail car go through. The freight business is already de layed under the strike at Kansas City for lack of helpers. It has been thought that Platte county for several years has been pay ing an undue proportion of taxes. It seems that this is not true. It is a fact that our valuation on land and stock has been lower than some of our neighboring counties, but tho State Board of Equalization, to reme dy that, placed on us a higher levy. A uniform valuation wonld give a uniform levy, but a low valuation can only be adjusted by a higher levy. Thos. 'Simpson was convicted the other night at Salt Lake of polygamy. He had a wife in England, but mar ried another in Utah. The English wife came on and made a family row, with the above result One of the Gentiles drawn on the jury was sworn on his voir dire and said he believed polygamy right under cer tain circumstances.

It is claimed that should the higher court reverse such judgment, the plaintiff will obtain judgment for $5,000,000, which 1b admitted by the original pleading to be her share of the common property. Blair was sworn in to fill the vacancy of Senator from New Hamp shire. The legislature which is to elect a senator from New Hampshire will not meet until next June. The point was raised of the right of the Senate to fill the vacancy and dis cussed at great length bnt the resolu tion was agreed to, yeas, 36, nays 10. Jones of Florida voting in the affirmative. Advices from the west coast of Africa recently received at London state that Germans hauled down the British .flag and hoisted the German one at Victoria, an English mission town situated at the head of Ambus Bay, joining the Cameron territory. While the English consul protested against the action his opposition was unheeded.

Denver, Colo, March 10th '85. Dear Sir: Regarding your hint on the Township law, as it works-ia St. Bernard Township, I will state that as you were County 'Commissioner for one term, aud became pretty well familiar with, the law regulating county government, you are probably in a position to make some good suggestion with reference to the ex isting laws on this all important topic, and therefore suggest that yotT let your light shine. ; I agreethal any system:of govern ment, local- or otherwise,-, which makes taxes bo high as to. .reader, property, particularly real? estate, a burdensome possession, is not a wise one, and Bhould-be abolished. Tu'e reason I have advocated the town ship plan is because I regarded it the best school, yet devised for the masses, on the' principles of republic can' government, in order that the people might familiarize themselves with the laws aud transact their business concerning their local affairs, near heir own homes. The boys o: Rome" were required to learn the laws of the Twelve Tables and we are told that "men are .only boys grown tall." If we'admit that rulers are the servants of the people, bow are the latter to know that the former perform their trust, unless they are iamiliar with, their duties ? The great question for Platte county to solve just now, is bow .to reduce taxation, so as to give her people a "fighting chance." Let the writer give.you a few 4'pointerr." 1st. 'Re duce your expenses in every possible way. 2d. Collect your taxes with out discrimination. 3d. Encourage good citizens to locate among you, who are willing, with their labor or capital, or both, to assist in lightening your burdens. Now John, "honor bright," don't you think that even the present Township. law, with its defects, has set the people to investigating in a way which they never did before its adoption?"- You are too intelligent to charge townshiporganization, even in St. Bernard; with the county's old debts, and ' school taxes. What is there so peculiar about St. Bernard that is different from tho rest of the county? Give us light and let us Bee if there can some "good thing come out of Nazareth." Yours very truly, ,BVRON MlLLETT. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Shell Creek Items. Mr. David Thomas xontemplates a visit to his old father in Wales.

Mr. McKabe's sale was pretty,fair, as John Hu.ber says'. Only horses went low, very low.. Isn't it. strange,, Mr. Editor, that men will pay from $300 to $400 for a span of horses from your dealers, while they scarcely offer zuu to tneir .own neighbors, whose horses are welP known? Do they think farmers will sell only what they don't want themselves ? Some of jis are raising horses from year to year what shall we do with, them all? One should think sensible men would, rather .buy horses known in the neighborhood; than imported ones of whose virtues or vices, health or dis ease even the most- honest dealer knows nothing but what he has been told.
