E. KOSEWATER. Publisher
According to a special dispatch
to the Chicago Tribune Hon. John
A- Kasson has changed his mind
about his future political intentions.
In the face of his two recent letters
declining re-nomination by the Re
publican party he has now an
nounced his intention to let' his
name go before the Republican
Congressional Convention for re
pomin&tion. Advices from the Platte Valley
indicate that the recent drouth has
had a damaging effect upon the
corn crop. The -wheat crop has also
suffered considerably, and although
the quantity sown this year will
make the ciop of 1874 at least fifty
per cent greater than that of 1873,
the yield per acre will fall consider
ably below the average. The qual
ity of thp new wheat will, however,
be superior to any raised within the
past five years,
ThE political situation in France
has reached a very critical point
It is self-evident that the factional
feeling in the National Assembly
has destroyed the usefulness of that
body as a law-making power. Mc
Mahon's message very properly re
minds them that the safety of
France required their dissolution.
Unless this recommendation is
speedily complied with, we shall
not be surprised if McMahon should
assume dictatorial powers, and dis
perse the Assembly with a prorogue
backed by military force.
Ts is to be hoped the City Council
will carry out tho petition of Mr.
Caldwell and other property owners
on Farnham strcot in favor of unit
form sidewalks. Tnis is a mueh
needed improvement, and no time
should be lost in carrying it in to, ef
fect The present condition
of the sidewalks on our prin
cipal thoroughfares is simply
disgraceful, and ought not to be
tolerated, especially in view of tho
fact that the desired uniformity will
involve but a trifling outlay.
The geographical educatoin of the
Washington Agent of the assoclc
ted press, seems to have been sadly
neglected, A bloody skirmish has
taken place between the U. 8.
troopsand the Indians In the Wind
River Valley, and the enterprising
but stupid associated press reporter
telegraphs all over the country that
Nebraska is being invaded and over
run by bloodthirsty savages. "Now
the Wind River Valley where
these Indians are operating, is in
Wyoming, at least three hundred
miles beyond the western boun
dary of Nebraska.
ttooh blunders might be tolerated
ifthcy referred to locations in Cen
tral Africa, but in this instance
they are inexcussable.
SrjfCE the repeal of the franking

disposition to retire to private life is
manifesting itself among Congress

voluntarily and peremptorily de
clined a greater number of this
class than at other Congresses.

The muddle concerning tho polio
force caused by the lingular action
of th Mayor is getting no better
fast At its last meeting the Coun
cil confirmed the appointment of
Wm. Ryan in place of Walker re
sigd. Yesterday Mayor Chase
tent a note to officerByrne in which
he claimed that Ryan must take the
place Byrne, a member of the force
and one of the best officers the city
has ever had. ITerald.
Why not tell "the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth ?"- Willliam Ryan was ap
pointed by the Mayor to take the
place of Mr. Byrne, whose term of
office had expired. The Council on
motion of Councilman Lucas
changed the nomination to take
the place of Mr. Walker, in whose
place the. Mayor had nominated
Mr. August Williams. The posi
tion of Mayor Chase from a legal
standpoint is si Tply this:
By the city charter the Mayor is
tho only power to make appoint
ments, and the City Council has no
right to alter or amend the condi
tions of his appointments. They
must either confirm or reject In
this respect the position of the
Council is similar to that occupied
by the United States Senate. The
President has the appointing power,
and by virtue of that authority he
has the prerogative of naming the
positions which any nominee shall
fill.
If there were three vacancies in the
army or navyf the President can
name three officers, and assign each
of them to a specific position, and
the Senate can not alter or amend
these directions.
The Council confirmed Mr. Ryan,
and tho Mayor holds that this con
firmation carries with it hli asigna
tion, in accordance with the terms
of tbe nomination.
When the Bee a few d.ays since
declared that trade in Omaha was
never so dull as It is now, it simply
expressed what is generally conce
ded by everybody who knows any
thing about the situation- The or
gan of the old fogies and anti-pro-"gresslonlsts
takes the Bee to task
for this statement, by declaring that
the wholesale jobbing trade in
Omaha never was better than it is
n.ow,
The Bee will not dispute this as
sertion, but we would remind the
Herald, that the prosperity of half
a dozen jobbing houses, is by no
means a criterion of the geneial con
dition of the city.
All the jobbing houses In Omaha
do not employ two hundred men,
while the small dealers, who do the
bulk of our commerce, give employ
ment to over two thousand.
While the jobbers invest njorp
capital, the retail dealers are really
the backbone of the city. This
class depend chiefly on the pros
perity of the industrial classes, and
this Is the reason why the Bee
urges public improvements and
public enterprises that will give em
ployment to workingmen.

we quote; "The district s located
about one and a half miles east of
the old town of Gold Hill, and is
within the eastern limits of Gold
Hill mining district Via the old
1829 road from Boulder to Gold Hill
It is about five miles from Boulder
City, and is an air line, not more
than three miles from the base of
the mountains. It is elevated about
2,000 feet above the plains, and like
most of the foot bilk region, the
surface of the country is compar
atively smooth, grassy, and thinly
timbered, resembling a-tanning
or first-class grazing country, much
more than a mountain mining
camp. Tbe water supply, though
not abundant, will, we think, prove
amply sufficient for mining ma
chinery, and reduction works can
be advantageously located on Four
mile, Boulder; or Left-hand creeks,
which are near at hand, and afford
almost unlimited power at all sea
soul. Timber for minec and foal 1
abundant and close at hand. The
location for winter working is pecu
liarly favorable, as the snow very
rarely covers the ground twenty-four
hours at a time."

a railroad company will not be
restrained where tbe requirements
of the statute authorizing the is
sue have been complied with.
2. A vote by a county to issue bonds

be located within a specified dis
tance of the county seat, nor by a

over a large stream in the county
shall be so constructad that it may

(before judge diixon, circuit
JUDQE.)
Count aid to Hailwayt Statute
construed Conditions annexed.
This is a bill In equity to restrain
the county authorities of Merrick
county from issuing certain bonds
voted to the Midland Pacific Rail,
way Company,
The statute of Nebraska provided
"that any county or city in the
" State of Nebraska, is hereby au
" thorized to1 issue bonds to aid in
" the construction of any railroad, or
"other work of Internal improve
" ment, to an amount to be deter
" mined by the county commlaslon
"ers of such county, or the city
" council of suoh city, not exceed
" ten per cent of the asseased val
" nation of all taxable property in
"said county, or city: Provided,
" The county commissioners or citv
" council shall first submit the ques
tlon of issuing such bonds to a
"vote of the legal voters of said
"county or city, in a manner pre
" scribed by the statute."
At a session of the board of county
coBuaisstoaers. of XenJck county
held at Lone Tree, upon the 25th
day of July, 1S73, It was by said
board resolved that the following
proposition bo submitted to the elec
tors of Merrick county, to wit:
"Shall the county commissioners of
Merrick county aforesaid, for the
purpose of aiding in the construc
tion, extension and completion of
the Midland Pacific Railway, from
the city of Lincoln, in the county of
Lancaster in said State, to
the town of Lone Tree in
Mid Merrick county, issue
the bonds of said county in the sum
of one hundred and twenty-fivo
thousand dollars, ($125,000) payable
to the Midland Pacific Railroad Co.
or bearer, to be dated the first day
of January A. D. 1875, and payable
in twents' vears from the date there
of, with Interest thereon at the rate
often per cent, per annum from
and after the date thereof, payable
annually on coupons thereto at
tached. The principle and Interest
of said bonds to be paid in the city
of New York, said bonds to be de
posited with some national bank se
lected by the county commissioners
of said county, and the said Mid
land Pacific Railroad Company
jointly. Said bonds for $125,000 to
be delivered by national bank
selected as aforesaid to said Midland
Pacific Railroad Company, ororder,
when the said Railway shall have
been completed from Lincoln afore
said to Lone Tree aforesaid, and
shall have regular trains running
thereon for business, provided, said
railway, shall have been completed,
and have through trains running
regularly thereon from Lincoln
aforesaid to Lone Tree aforesaid,
on or before the first day of
January, 1875, and provided, aLo,
the depot of said railway shall be
located within one-fourth of a mile
of the court-house of said county,
and, providedi further, that said
railroad company shall cross Prairie
Islund with their road and shall
plank their bridge at least eighteen
feet in width from the north bank
of said Prairie Island to tho north
bank of Platte river for a wagon
bridge, and shall open the same
free for a public highway, and shall
enter into a good and sufficient eon
tract to keep and maintain said
bridge as aforesaid for a highway
for-ten years from January 1st,
1875 ; and shall the county commis
sioners aforesaid cause to be levied
annually, in addition to the other
taxes, an amount of tax sufficient
to pay the interest and after the
year 18S3 an amount of tax suffi
cient to pay the principal thereof,
provided, such tfix so to be levied
shall not exceed theamount author
ized by law to aid the construction
of works of internal improvement
in said State of Nebraska, etc."
The other material facts appear
In the opinion of the court.
A. J. Poppleton and E. Wakely,
for the plaintiff. M. H. Sessions,
for the defendants.
Dilxon, Circuit Judoe. This
is a bill by the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, as the owner of a
very considerable jortion of the
taxable property within the county
of Merrick, to restrain the Councy
Commissioners of that county from
issuing $125,000 of the bonds of that
county to the Midland Pacific Rail
way Company, pursuant to a vote
of the people of tho county at an
election held on the 30th day of
August, 1873. The cause is before
tho court on final hearing upon the
pleadings and proof.
The counsel for the plaintiff' relies
mainly upon two grounds for the
relief sought, which will be briefly
noticed.
The first Is that no copy of theque
tlon submitted to the voters of the
county was posted up at the place of
voting during the day of election
In Lone Tree precinct, the town of
Lone Tree being the county seat,
and that precinct giving in favor of
the proposition a larger voto than
the majority for the proposition
throughout the county, thus con
trolling the result. We held on
demurrer to the bill that the law o'f
Nebraska made It essential to the
regularity of the vote that "a copy
of the question submitted should be
posted up at the places of voting;"
but the proofs quite satisfactorily
show that the law was complied
with in this respect It is conceded
that a copy of the question was
posted on the front door of the
court house building (in one of the
rooms in which the election was
neld), and was tho usual place for
posting official and legal notices;
and the evidence also tends very
,8trongly to show that another notice
was posted on the door of the
very room (the sheriff's office) in
the court house In which the elec
tion was held. This ground of re
lief, therefore, falls upon the proofs.
The next ground relied on by the
complainant is that "tho proposition
or question submitted involved
three distinct subjects to be passed
on. and consequently tbesubmission
was Illegal. First, the construction
of the railroad to Lone Tree; second,
the establishment of its depot at a
particular place; third, the con
struction of a wagon bridge over the
Piatt- river.
in support of this position, coun
sel rely upon Lewis vs. Bourbon
county, decided by the supreme
court of Kmsas, November 15, 1873,
and upon Supervisors vs. Railroad
Company, 21 ill., 1873 ; People vs.
Tazwell county, 22 III., 147 ; Clark
vs. Hancock county, 27 111., 310,
and McMillan vs. Lee county, 3
Iowa, 311.
Without examining or question
ing these cases, our opinion is that
the present case does not fall with
in the principle they assert There
were not three distinot propositions
submitted or three separate projects
sought to be aided. On the con
trary only one proposition was sub
mitted, viz : to vote aid to the ex
tent of $125,000 to, the Midland
Pacific Railway Company ; but this
aid was to be upon condition that
the depot of the company should
be located within one-fourth mile of
tbe court-house ot the county, and
upon the further condition that the
company would so construct its
railroad bridge over the Platte river
that it might be used as a wagon
bridge, and would agree that it
might he so used for ten years, and
to that end would keep it In repair
during that period.
These conditions are reasonable!
in themselves, and such as tho
county authorities might in their
Judgment, require. They are con
ditions obviously in the interest of
the counts and If the vote would
have been valid without them, we
cannot see why they render it ille
gal. HaUroad Qj. va Leavenworth.

Tbe law of the State on the sub
ject of voting aid to rallwavs, has
been sustained by the Supreme
Court of the United States as valid
in the Otoe county case. We may
doubt the wisdom of the enactment,
but being valid we have no ritrhtt
overthrow it; and as the law in the
case before us seems to have been
complied with in all pvjnt;il ,.
tlculars, wo see no eround on -criiif.!.
we would be justified in restraining
the issue of the bonds which a ma-
jority of the people of a county have
voted. J
