K'JSEWATEB. ruWisher CvsteliZvk has been lieArd aud Lis voice is ftill for the Spanish Re public Tun first cliapter of Bret Hartc's new story, "The Rose of the Tou loinne," appears on the third page of this issue. It is conceded on all hands to be one of the very best ef forts of the gifted California!!, and netted him six hundred dollars. Old manUender, whose atrocious crimes had caused such profound excitement throughout Kansas, has at last reached the placo where his bloody deeds had been committed. His identify is now established and v,c aprehend that his career will bo very brief. 3Iayok Chase very properly de clines to abuse the pardoning power by ordering the release of a high toned gambler now confined in the city jail. "What would bo the object of arresting, trying and convicting Mich gentry, if the Mayor could htcp In and annul the verdict of the court? The managers of Mr. John Bauraer's ca.se are becoming greatly fatigued in trying to cheat Mr. Johnston out of his just majority for treasurer as clearly and un equivocally bhown by Mr. Baumer's own recount. "Vc are still of the opinion that Mr. Swobe will be compelled to vote that Johnston has a majority, and we are not without hope .for Mr. Marsh, al though he is a hard case as a par tizau. Herald. "We are still of the opinion "that the Democracy under the lead of the Herald are trying to perpetrate a most outrageous fraud upon a man who was duly elected by the people to the office of city treasurer. We don't chargo ballot box stuf fing upon anybody, but there is a .very grave suspicion among disin terested citizens, Democratic as well as Republican, that those ballot boxes have been tampered with. TAX EXEMPTION. One of the strongest arguments against the Constitution presented to the people of Nebraska, was that it contained a provision for taxing all the Church property of the State. Republican. "Ve are aware that the Church taxation bugaboo was very effectu ally handled by the Republican in its efforts to defeat the new Consti tution. , It was mainly used to cover the tnpks of the monopolists who had bought up the Republican for the purpose of defeating a measure that threatened to deprive them of their supremacyin this State. Jtj was this howl about taxing graveyards and churches, that ena bled demagoues like the clerical editor of tlio Republican, to play upon popular prejudices, bred of ig norance arid stupidit'. The facts are patent that taxation to be just mut be universal. Why prate about the injustice of taxing cemeteries, when we can point to one cemetery near this city that yields a greater income to its owner thin any property of similar valuation within the city limits? Why should wealthy men who seek to glorify themselves by building costly churches'lM! exempted when the cottage of the poorest working jiian'is taxed? It is proper enough to compel people to pay a school tax, but why do you seek to compel them to pay a church fax? A case in point has just reached us through the Beatico rpres .Prom that journal we learn that "a petition was presented to the Commissioners of Gage county, last Tuesday, by Capt. Ashbr. askinz that the nronertT belonging to the different churches I in the city be placed on the assess ment books. The petition sets forth, in general, that the Consti tution forbids tho exemption "from taxation of the property of corpora tions; 'nd in particular that the Presbyterian church building is leased for profit, which excludes it from the bsnefit of tho exemption provided by the statutes. The commissioners have taken thcasc under advisement. The. Beatrice JZxprcss ntluiiU that our constitution is in direct conflict with the statute concerning exemp tions. The case quoted above in volves Uics. exemption of property owned by the Presbyterian Church, aud leased by them to parties. 2s ow we would be pleased to know whether in case of an appeal to the colirts, they would nom compelled to decide that under our present Constitution, the property of corpo-, rations cannot ba exempted from taxation, whether lived for churches. cemeteries, or any other purpose, -j It frequently happens that the sentiments expressed by newspaper correspondents, are not in accord with the views entertained- by the editors of the journal that publishes their contributions. A case in point occurs in this issue-f of xhe Bbe. Our Washington cor respondent, alluding-teethe investi gation of the management of tho affairs of the District of uoiumma, declares that nothing, derogative to the Board of Public "Works hasso far been elicited by the investiga tion. Governor Shepard, the chief of the so-called District ring, is lauded to the skies as a man of in domitable energy and spotless in tegrity. We imagine our correspondent, in common with other Bohemians who have partaken of the sumptuous hospitality of the Board, has not paid very close attention to the evi dence drawn out by the investigating committee. .He has probably looked to the subsidized ring papers, whose editors havo held fat paving con tracts, for the sourceof his informa tion. ' - We regret that the Bee doe3 not sharcJiis conclusions in tlia premi ses. An far as i e have been able to judge, the testimony before the com mittee has been of the most damag ing character. With this testimony baforc us, we incline to the opinion that tho "Washington ring has just claims for being classed on a par with Tweed's Tammany cohorts. Their failure to equal the Tarn-, many chief in the amounts appro priated can only be accounted for on the presumption that they did not have as good an opportunity. Baxtek, the Arkansas usurptfr, is a very cute individual. Ijike our now somewhat notorious City Treasurer, he did not poll as many votes as his antagonist, but he man aged to count him out by unfriendly legislation. Now that the courts have finally.ousted Tiiin, he again seeks to resume his sway by appealing to the Legislature. Hia assurance to President Grant of his willingness to submit peacea. bly to the decision made by the Legislature is very characteristic. He knows tho Legislature will de cide In hjs favor and he can afford to rest easy. HONEY EOE THE LADIES. Straining sweetness Kissing through a veil. Black will continue in favor for the day costumes, but it will be less worn at night than heretofore. Invisible purple gloves are worn by ladies in mourning, in preference to the dead black gloves that are apt to crack. Bibs of Valenciennes lace, form ing a pompadour square, with a ruff, are the newest fancy for com pleting ladies' dressy toilets. The size of parasols is much in creased and far more decided than heretofore. Very handsome, change able serge silk ones, with fancy pearl handles, sell for SO, S7 and $8. If ever there Is a time when a man is justified in changing the subject suddenly, it is when his wife asks if he posted that letter to mother promptly. Black alpacas of the buffalo, beaver, otter and sable brands are more popular this season than for several years past. One dollar and a half is charged. Anxious mother : "You say 3'our darling boy is three years old. Theh there is not a moment to be lost. No man ever became truly great who hadn't tumbled down stairs, or been badly scalded when a child. . Ann Eliza Young is playfully stated by a Washington reporter, to wear a large locket suspended from her neck containing scraps of hair cut from Bigham's scalp. Floral ornaments were never more varied. "Whole nosegays are worn on the head; beetles, Hies, butterflies, and birds are less fashionable than tufts of daffodils, primroses, wall flowers, and Parma violets. Chatelaines for parasols, fans, etc. are become articles of expensive luxury. They consist, usually, of short chain of ivory, mother of pearl, or oxydized silver, furnished on the lower rings with hooks which serve for holding the articles to be carried. Generally a medal lion pin or rosette of tho same ma terial as the chain is caught in the belt, while a clasp or hook secures it there. The skirls of all dresses, whether short or trained, have the fulness thrown entirely to the back; strings being sewn to theside seams for this purpose. Tho front and side breadths are gored; the slope of each toward the back, and hollowed out at the top, so as to tit the waist and set closely on tho hips. This is dif ficult to fit. aud a well cut attern is a irreat desideratum, as all skirts are cut in the same manner, what ever may be tho trimmings arranged afterward. A Tlnftoln Qfrwf Mr rvirwlnftnr ro fused to permit a female iu "bloom er costume" to ride on his car, be lieving her to be a woman dressed iu man's clothes. The case was car ried to court, when tlft conductor's counsel stated that there was an ordinance against a female wearing a man's dress, and thought that worn by the woman came very near to it The justice, however, held that tho "bloomer" was a female costume. A huge Napoleon blue sunshade, wiui gin or ivory ups unu uunuie, will be the correct thing this season for the belle of the period. It is not lined, and the reflection upon the face is, we presume, a part of the fashion. The latest fancy for young ladies' wrats is the pelerine, or small round cape, of black Sicllienne or drap d'ete, almost covered with jet embroidery, edged with jet fringe, and finished around tho neck with a lacke fralse. "Ma, has aunty got bees in her mouth?" "No; why do you ask such a question?" "'Cause that leetle man with a heap o' hair on his face cotched hold of her and said ho was going to take the honey from her lips, and she said, 'Well, make haste I' " The "newest neck ties are blocks, checks, and bars of "white with a colore black and white blocks of twilled silk are especially stylish. Solid colored ties have a block "work of Valenciennes insertion in each pointed end, and a lace frill on the edge. , j THE PLATTE VALLEY. The Garden Spot of the Continent What Harare has Done, and What Men are Doing. A-Birds Eye View- (si-ecial Correspondence of tbeHEE.) A few years ago, when -the great transcontinental railway scheme, now a thing of the past, was strug gling toward the light, Nebraska was comparatively unknown, and the few who were sufficiently in formed of the ,rare fertility of its soil to speak boldly in its favor Avere regarded as mercenary specu lators, who hoped to reap fortunes by making dupes of those who were foolish enough to emigrate jthithen Slow-paced truth seemed to have fonrotten her walk as the territory of Nebraska drew slowly toward public recognition. American youth and middle ag, educated that this "whole country wxisa desert devoid of soil, too barren to produce even a stunted timber growth ; a sun-parched plateau above- the re gion of niin, uninhabited and uu inhabitable, were slow to believe that their books and teachers erred, and that in reality this elevated plain, ovcrscored with numberless water courses was the most fertile, bounteous and healthy of all nature's dominion. A rival to the southward, made nromincnt bv the force of circum- r stances, advertised oyer the whole world by tiie struggle men enacting within Jier borders between the clashing interests of freedom and slavery, secured the attention of lovers of freedom everywhere (all emigrants are such )" and for tho time overshadowed this territory already free, and drew toward her self the strongest current of Immi gration. Hut there came a time; it was when tho U. P. R. R. took definite shape and started from Omaha on along, aud by many con sidered, doubtful journey toward the setting sun, when the world looked again upon our wide prairies and broad valleys and saw that they were -exceedingly fair. "Whoever looks upon it acknowledges that the Platte Valley is the finest agri cultural spot on the face of the earth. Varying from twenty to fifty milos in width, it has no marshes as it is everywhere from ten to forty feet above the rapidly flowing river, decending toward the Missouri with nn even fall of about six feet to the mile, for the whole distance from North Platte, where the two main sources unite to its mouth, three hundred and seventy-fivo miles, and nearly two thousand feet be low. Every foot of -land in this valley, nearly ten million acres in one body, is"ricU as the oldest garden in the world, and before broken by the settlers' plow, was clothed with a strong thick growth of grass from one to four feet in heighth, which billowed under tho breeze like an immense field of waving grain. There Is not an acre in the whole area larger than some of the East ern States but that is succeptiblo of easy cultivation, and its entire sur face is so smooth that a mowing machine may bs run over every square foot as easily, and cutting as closely as on the best rolled mead ow of the Geunosce or Connecticut Valleys, where generation succeed ing generation, has exhausted its strength in making an artificial farm. The U. P. Railroad runs through itsentirelength, bringingto the settler's door, all requisites for building the cottar's home, or fur nishing the wealthy planter's man sion; carrying to the east or west whichever pays the highest price the productions of soil and labor. The Government granted this road each alternate section of the land within twenty miles each way along its line through this valley, and reserved tho other sections for actual settlers. The government sections have nearly all been taken up, and cultivated more or less fully by homesteaders, as far west as Grand Islaud, one hundred and fifty miles from Omaha -and also a large portion of it for a hundred miles be yond that point. But all along the line fully three-fourths of th rail road lands are yet unsold-and unoc cupied, situated too, in the midst of a thickly peopled, and a well organ ized country. These lands can be bought so low fhat the price is hardly worth men tioning from $3 to $3 per aero on ten years time according to loca tion near or remote from . the road. The original grant was about 4,S00, 000 acre, of which but one million have been sold, and though there is vet so much land unsold, the country is actually more thickly settled han many portions, of the vers oldest States. i The Government sections which have settlers on them comprise more of the country -mid embrace more cultivated farms than it is possible to find in any equal area in .the agricultural districts of the New England States, New York or Penn sylvania. And at the same time til millions of acres given to the railroad do not coyer so large an area in this country as is wasted in the useless mountains, rocky ridges, ast marshes, and immense forests in the States mentioned. So rapid has been the developement of this country that along the line of this road already arc towns and citlesof considerable importance and size, varying from the station hamlet of half a dozen houses to -the city of two or three thousand inhabitants carrying on and living by tho vari ous industries incident to all coun tries. The little labor required to build roads in all directions across the country has been clone, and bridges built over all the water courses. School houses have been built in even township, so that when tho settler moves his family into even the most -thinly settled portion of this valley, as good facili. tics for the education of his children are already provided, as those left behiud in the east After visiting all portionjj.of the Canadas, Eastern, Southern, Mid dle and some of the "Western States, we can boast Tvith pride that no re gion of country on this continent has better school, buildings, more completej)pointments"ln any re spect, a greater number of schools in proportion to the inhabitants, or better, teachers than this valley. It k a fact thatjhe school buildings of this country from the elegant and costly structure standing a two hundred thousand dollar crown upon the highest hill in Omaha, towering above the central city, at once her glory and a landmark on the national highway to the neatly painted twelve hun dred dollar school house, away out on the plains beyond North Platte, where to the eye unpraoticed in prairie life it seems to stand alone, to the wonder and admiration of all who cross the 'state. Churches too, are plenty, as in all the American states. Though there are many people of foreign birth, the predom inent number and sentiment is American,-and bears, though far away from Plymouth Rock, the inv dellible stamp of religious venera tion engraved upon American char acter by the Pilgrim Fathers. Following the rapid settlement of this valley its exports nave increased In a sort of geometric ratio. Take, for instance, the shipments of wheat from two of the most prominent tviiitn. Fremont, a citv of about 3.000 inhabitants, 40 miles from Omaha; and Columbus, 80 miles west, with, a population of about 1,200. The former -city shipped about 70 car loads of wheat three years ago ; two years ago 400, and the last year nearly 1,700 carloads, or over half a million bushels. Col umbus shipped but .11 car loads the first year, 171 thaS'second and last fall and winter over 900 car loads. Other products have increased in the same projiortion, and all Mill continue to increase in nearly the same ratio for several years to come. It is safe to estimate the anmj1 wheat crop of this valley at ten mil lion bushels, when each quarter sec has an Inhabitant, which cannot be far away. From Omaha to Fremont the TJ. P. lands have all been sold, but near the latter place a few loca tions may be secured ; aud the quan tity of unsold land gradually in creases as you go west by North Bend, a delightful little village, where an example can be seen of how great a grove may be grown in this country in ten years. A grove of cottonwoodS"plantcd here about ten years ago, now staud sixty feet hi height, and twenty to thirty Inches in diameter at the ground. Near Schuyler, a beautiful village adorned with numerous young trees, the growth of only three or four years, the quantity of railroad laud unsold begius to increase sensibly, and there may bo a fow quarter sec tions of government land twenty or twenty-live miles from the railroad. Nuar Columbus there are largo tracts of the grandest laud, but it is now being rapidly sold. Farther west, one hundred and fifty miles from Omaha, near Grand Island, a city of 1,200 inhabitants and rapidly increasing, whose people are just now exerting themselves strongly, .and with flattering prospects of suc cess, to build a railroad soutnward to connect with the St Joe & Den ver and give them access to St. Louis and southern markets, there is at greater increase in the quantity of laud for sale, as also of government land not taken up ; and as you go west from here, tho quantity in creases as the country is more aud more recently settled., FartysfivB miles from Grand Island you come to the new city of Kearney t the meeting place of two great railroads that stretch away from the Missouri River on a race for the West. Land, more land, and room for thousands, as you go Westward be yond Plum Creek, a town of a hun dred houses, built in a month last summer,- to Cozad in swaddling clothes, platted and named this spring. You can count here eight or ten dwellings on the plat and forty or fifty new farm houses on the prairjo arouud, where, on the first day of February you might have looked In vain over the broad rolling expanse as far as theeyc could reach, till land sank away beneath tho concave sky for other evidence of human existanco, than the circling band of railway and its double row of telegraph poles, dwindling down in the distance till mingled and blended it takes the appearance of a closely boarded fence West of here you are out of the great waves and in the surf of im migration, North Platte, 391 miles from Oma ha, at the junction of the two prin cipal brandies of the great Platte River, which here spreads to 400 yards in width, is a flourishing city of about 1000 inhabitants and the center of a large community of grazers and cattle herders. Here, instead of bushels of grain, we hear tho number of head of cattle spoken of. We have ascended an inclined plane 300 miles long till we are 2,700 feet above the sea and nearly 1,900 above Omaha. But, contrary to the nssumed natural laws of tempera ture, have come up into a warmer climate and arrived in a region rarely visited by snow; where cattle graze the year round and come out in the spring in good order with no other feed than the rich buffalo grass which covers the land. Here there is land, whole counties of it north, west and south without holders, unfilled, yet tillable and rich. -Oh, you -laborers upon hill sides, you delvers among stones, and you wood-chopping, root pulling dwellcrsamong swamps and rocks, and on the mountains of the eastern States and Canadas why will you work and wait year after year with no results, building stump fences, stone walls and log piles, and burning brush to clear a little poor land, starving ten or twenty years, dependent upon your more fortunate neighbor .for days' work wherewith to. mako the year ends meet, before the land will support you, when the fairest face of God's, great creation smiles toward you sajing, "kiss me once with a plow, and I will reward j-ou with an hundred fold in the fairest crops?" Why will you spend a whole lifetime in the Vain endeavor to make tha,t cold sterile hillside one-half as smooth or productive 'as nature made tho land which the Government v will give yqu here, and fail at last? Dox. PONCA COAL A Vein Two Feet in Thickness at Present Good Coal and Better Prospects, From Charles Schroeder, one of the four men who compose the com pany that Is operating the Pnca coal mine, and vrho has just returned from there, we learn that the pros pects of finding coal in paying quan tities grow better as the work pro gresses. The miners have drifted into the hill a distance of about six ty feet, and the strata of coal which they are following grows thicker the further in they work. The vein is at prtsseut about two feet thick, and even if they should find it no thicker It would paj' to work it. Samples were brought in by Mr. Schroeder w hieh are pronounced of a good quality, containing but very little Bulphur or slate. It is alto gether probable that after tunneling into the hill a littlo further a strata of coal will bo found of uniform thickness. The vein so far followed has varied somewhat in thickness, according to the depth or shallow ness of the earth above.. Further into the hill, where there has been no exterior action of the earth to in terfere with the natural formation, a rich, uniformly thick strata of coal undoubtedly lies. Aud if this be the case It will surely be developed, for the company operating the mine Is sanguine of success, and is word ing accordingly. The farmprs round about I'onca are highly elated over tho success of the coa&nterprlse, and flo&c to the mineinllarge numbers to witness the worftu it progresses. Coal from the mine'is daily used in Ponca by businessmen, who arereaay to uuu their testtiflpny in favor of its qual- itv. Thai ilmens orougui to mis city by the offic Ichrceder were left at r.
