Benj. BT Cowdery, JEsa.., of the Rail
road Commission returned home the
first of the week, after having, with
the other members of the Board pass
ed about ten days and traveling some
fifteen hundred miles. Among tbe
duties prescribed by law is that of
carefully examining and inspecting
the condition of each road in the
State, and this they have just per
formed, so far as the B. & M. system
o'f roads is concerned, and in the
south Platte portion of the State. Oor
readers will remember that, under the
law, the commissioners have tbe gen
eral supervision of all railroads in the
State; their main work on this trip,
as we learn, was to find, if possible,
what the people at tbe various sta
tions along tbe line ef the road desir
ed the railroads to do for them.
Before starting out, two complaints
were on file. Twelve others were
added to these during the trip, the
exact natnre of which we are not ad
vised of.
There is, now, absolutely no com
plaint, it seems, as to tbe three-cent
passenger rate, and it may be set
down that the only fault about that
waa that it did not become a law four
years ago. We suggest an inquiry
by the commissioners into ibis stale
of facts which is' vouched for by a
hnalneiui man: if you buy a ticket
from Colurobup, for instance, to any
point east of tbe Missouri, over tbe
U. P. bridge, yon are made to pay 50
eta.- as the fare across the bridge,
whereas 25 cfs. will pay your way
otherwise; in other words, every
ticket other than tbe special bridge
ticket, includes the 50 cts. for this
bridge toll.
The dealers at about every place
along tbe line complained that tbe
shippers at the next station must have
better rates than they were getting,
because they were evidently able to
pay better prices tban they could
afford to do.
One man Baid that tbe roads of Ne
braska made a difference in tbe price
of a car load of wheat, corn or oats,
while roads east made no distinction.
A depot was ordered at Vesta,
Johnson county, and neighbor Jobn
Sissle's fence was ordered to be con
structed. Tbe commission seem hon
estly endeavoring to do their duty.
If they succeed in doing good, they
will probably be continued iu office ;
if not, tbe uext legislature will be tol
erably sure to abolish them.
Appomattox.
Grant conquered us, but be did not
subjugate us. He caused no man to
pass under the yoke. He spared us
the final disgrace. He took us by the
band, gave tbe officers their side
arm's, left with the men their horses
and mules to till tbe ground, and be
sent us home to our families to re
main in peace unmolested. Tbe
North opened Pandora's box upon us,
but Grant' left Hope within it. He
grasped tbe band of our Lee and pro
tected bim from the political hyenas.
God bless his memory for what he
did for us when tbe sun went down
at Appomattox! For .that act may
God Mess him in tbe spirit world to
which his brave soul has winged its
flight. Mobile Begister.

The Beatrice Express gathers from
what we have, hitherto remarked con
cerning tbe coming senatorial cam
paign that all candidates aside from
Van Wyck will be monopolists and
corporation tools. Such a conclusion
and such an opinion may be a good
deal nearer tbe truth than tbe Express
is ready to admit. It is quite evident
that the field will combine against
Van Wyck, because he is tbe strong
est candidate. Tbe numerous others
will work first to cripple bim and
then take their chances on individual
success. The element against him
will in the main be railway men be
cause no other candidate representing
anti-monopoly principle would enter
tbe lists against him. Fremont Trib.

Soma two. years ago I recarrei
boy (Lona White)' into tbo Orphans'
Home, near Macon, from Columbus.
He was one .of the poorest creatures
I have ever seen nothing bnt skin
and bone crippled; and deformed by
Scrofula, which had attended him
from -his birth. About eighteen
months ago I commenced giving bim
Swift's Specific. After several bottles
had been taken and no visible results
to be seen, I began to despair, bnt
continued the medicine. - At last
signs of improvement became ap
parent, and from that date to tbe
present there has been constant im
provement in both body and mind.
He is now about fourteen years old,
and is one of the brightest boys I have
ever known. I honestly believe that
he will ultimately outgrow the effects
of this loathsome disease under the
influence of Swift's Specific.
Tbe two cases of erysipelas which
were treated some two years ago
with S. S. S. show no symptoms of
return ot tbe disease.

The following opinion of county
attorney Whiiinoyer was presented,
tead and on motion oidercd placed
on file:
To the lion. Board of Supervisors ttf
Platte County:
In compliance with your resolution
of June 13tb, referring to mo the cost
bills filed by the Clerk of the District
Court with the board for my opinion
us to the liability of the couuty.tfor
the same, will respectfully report tbal
the county is not liable for pay men h
of costs in criminal cases except as
provided by statute. Sec. 535 pro
vides that "no costs shall be paid
from the County Treasury in any case
of prosecution for a misdemeanor, or
for surety to keep tbe peace except
as provided in Section 541."
As there are no excess moneys
under the provisions of Sec. 541,
arising from costs, and proceeds of
jail labor in tbe connty general fund,
it would be illegal for the board to
allow any of bills filed by tbe clerk
tor misdemeanor and peace warrant
cases. Yon should therefore reject
tbe bills in the following cases: State
vb. John Shannaban ; State vs. M. B.
Paiste ; State vs. Thos. O'Neil, (this
is not a criminal case at all); State vs.
R. Brandt ; State vs. R. Brandt ; State
vs II. C Niblock ; State vs. H. C.
Niblock, and State vs. John Shanna
ban. Sec. 537 provides that upon tbe dis
cbarge or conviction of the defendant
in any case of felony ia the district
court, it shall be lawful, for the clerk
to file cost bills to be credited -and
allowed as provided in Sec. 536.- As
there has been no discharge or con
viction iu the following cases, it
woold be illegal to allow tbe'co6t
bills filed therein, to-wit: State vs.
P. J. Lawrence; State vs. George
Matthews.
The cost bills, in tbe balance of tbe
felony cases, tbe board should audit
and allow in the manner provided in
See's. 536 and 7, which make it tbe
duty of the' board to examine "the
same, and disallow any item, iu whole'
or iu part, that shall be unlawful or
ntedkbrly incurred.
Ruepect fully,
