To the PnbIic.

II living come 10 the conclusion of To-
eating in this city, without any labored
introduction, we make our humble bow
to the patrons Of the GAZETTE, as ,he Ed.
itor Of this paper.
Being a stranger in the Territory, we
feel ourself inadequate to perform the
task we have undertaken, and ask the in.
diligence of The public until we become
acquainted with the local interests of
Nebraska, aud get the hang" of matters
and things in general.
Having from our earliest recollection,
been nurtured and brought up in the Dem
ocra,ic faith-the principles Of Jef1erso-
man Democracy, the GAZETTE, willis,
under our charge, shall maintain and de-
fend the democratic party, believing it TO
be the only true National party now in
existence.
We IRE aware how difficult it is for an
editor TO cater to the tastes of his various
" constituted readers. We are convin-
ced that there is no employment, that so
taxes the mind, temper and flesh, It's that
of editing n newspaper. An editor must
Of necessity turn himself inside out to the
public. lie cannot be n hypocrite any
more than a husband could be n hypocrite
to his wife. He must expose himself in
all that he does, as much in selecting the
thoughts of others, as in publishing his
own, and, therefore the better way for us
in the outset is to begin frankly, to save
ourself from after contradictions and
notifications.
In particular, we respectfully ask the
citizens of Sarpy county, to patronize
their own county paper, and we on our
part, will endeavor to contribute in a va
rie,y Of ways to the formation of correct
public opinion on subjects of public import
ance, and aid in giving character to the
city and county in which we are loca-
ted.
We have but few promises TO make
If we are supported, we will diligently
and honestly endeavor to do our duty.
We "go in for Bellevue and its inter.
ests, and the interests of Sarpy county, as
well as the prosperity of this vast and
beautiful Territory.

RurdeiI Murder Trial.

The Burdell murder trial has just
closed in New York, as far as Mrs. Gun
bingham is concerned. She has been ac-
Quilted, and Eckel, the most important
prisoner, has been released on bail. Mrs.
Cunningham will now, doubtless, estab-
lish her claim to dover in BurdelT's es-
tate. The st. Louis Leader says:
"The evidence in this case, rs it termi-
mated. could on'y have resulted in ac-
q%uittal. The two daughters of Mrs. Cum
bingham testified TO the fact of their
having slept with their mother the night
of the murder, of their having been en-
gagged in conversation for some time after
they retired, Of their having heard no
noise, noticed no disagreeab'e smell, and
having had no knowledge of their mother
leaving them during the night. The
truth of their story was virtually conceded
by the fact of their not having been sub
ieCted to q cross-examination, Young
S~nodgrass and little George Cunningham
also spoke to their having noticed nothing
particular about the house that night, al
though their bedroom door in the attic
was open. Snodgrass denied that he had
heard threats uttered against DIR. Burdell
by any of the family.
DR.. Roberts, a dentist in Bond street,
was intimate with the family, and testi-
fed to the apparently amicable relations
that existed between Mrs. Cunningham
and DR.. Burdell. He had seen them to-
gether several times in private houses,
often in the street, and once in a place OF
amusement. He was one of the first SEM
for on the discovery of the murder, and
he found the defendant so agi,ated ant
helpless that he and others had 70 lift hel
nto bed. He had often noticed the stree
door of 81 Bond street Unmatched, afteI
the new lock had been put on. He wa
asked as to his knowledge of the fact tina
other persons, not inmates of the house
had night keys of it; and the prosecution
admitted that such was the case in respeC
to two persons.

visit from the Governor.

Acting Gov. Stanton paid Lawrence a
visit n week ago Friday afternoon and
evening. He was cordially received by
the people, and in the evening partook Of
a supper with several of our leading citi-
zens at the Cincinnati House. In the
evening he addressed q large crowd who
had collected to welcome him to the town.
The Governor said he came here in
advance Of Governor Walker, TO assume
the executive duties until the arrival of
that gentleman, which would be abou! the
25th of May. The policy which would
govern him was TO give equal and exact
Justice to all parties. He came here TO
favor neither, but was determined to be
the executive of the whole people. Tho
born and educated in the South, and
taught to look favorably upon Southern
institutions. yet he had no desire TO force
those institutions upon any people who
were opposed TO it, He believed that
slavery was right in itself, but he would
be equally frank in saying that he did not
believe it was destined to be a permanent
institution; on the contrary it was evident
the day was not far distant when it would
disappear from Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri. He had no desire to be re-
~cogniGed as a prophet, bit he had always
believed that Kansas would be a free
State.
Said the Governor, When representing
the strongest pro-slavery, and the only
cotton-growing district of Tennessee in
the United States Congress, | declared in
my place, when the KanSas-Nebraska bill
was pending before that body, that Kan
sas would be a free State. Such has al
ways been my opinion, and nothing but
the unwise policy of extremists can make
it otherwise. II it had not been for the
Emigrant Aid Companies and the Border
Ruhians interfering in Kansas affairs,
none of the violence which has oharac.
terized your history would have occurred.
| expect in the future the citizens of Kan
Sas will be allowed to manage their OWL
affairs, independent of outside influence.
lCheers.
IL cannot be Indifferent TO the quest or
which has agitated your people, and should
| say | was you would not believe me, and
yet | would not turn over my hand Il
make it a free State or q slave State.

woI Id be a free State, and no man ever
quarrelled with me for saying SO.

n Is vet Room"

The emigration to Nebraska this year
thus Ear, is beyond the conception Of those
who are not daily accustomed to seeing
the throng Of passengers who crowd every
boat which comes up the Missouri river.
Those who have remained behind are be-
co ming dishcartened-und well they may,
in view Of the fact, hat the business en-
etgy and Young America portion Of the
East are rushing to Nebraska, whilst
the old fogy portion remains behind
But, for their consolation we would say,
that " there is yet room" Thousands OF
acres Of beautiful rolling prairie and
boundless forests of timber lands, inter-
sperscd with limped springs, meandering
brooks and majestic rivers; with as rich
~aIluyial soil as the sun ever shone upon,
yet remains for the hardy and adventur-
Gus pioneer to reclaim from their wild
uncultivated state-replace the wigwam
Of the savage with neat comfortable dwell
%ings-build school honses and cause the
Church going bell to reverberatc where
the buffalo now roams unmolested We
say again, come, " there is yet room"

Rev. MIR. KaliOch and the For
ged Check of 1000 Dollars Oh
Dr, JAYNE.

On Saturday we copied a paragraph
from the Bee, stating that the Rev. Mr..
KalIoch had received from DR.. Jayne, of
Philadelphia, a check upon the Girard
Bank of that city for $1,000, to assist him
in ~defraying the expenses of his late trl-
al, sc. Such was apparently the case,
but we | ave the subseqren, fact to tate,
hat after the money had been drawn and
disburSed by the recipient, the check
proved to be a base forgery, evidently ex-
ecuted for the purpose of deceiving and
annoying Mr.. kalloch and his friends.
Accompanying the check was a letter,
written in q handsome mercantile hand,
and couched in the following language:
PHILADELPHIA, April IS, 1857.
"Reu. /. s. KaHOch. Reuerad Brother-
DEAR SIR: | have never felt more strong
ly the duty of Christian sympathy,
than when considering the prosecutions
YOU have endured from the Adversary of
Souls, through which | trust God will
sustain your natural body and spiritual
strength, so that the end may be a tri-
umphal issue for yourself personally, and
for Christ's Church militant; but, my dear
brother. | fe / that, besides the sympathy
and fraternal love of all christians, you
may require material assistance, and |
have therefore concluded TO offer you the
enclosed contribution to your financial as
sets-a small portion of the means which
Divine Providence has placed at my dis
posal.

Nemaha Valley Bank.

As the steamer Ogden, passed up last
Tuesday, some one on board brought the
report that this Bank had refused to re-
deem It's bills, but from reliable informa-
ton of a later date, we are assured that
the Bank was redeeming its notes with
gold. Some Of our citizens who had small
amounts of this money on hand fell an un-
easiness from the first report-but from
what we know and are advised concern
ing the re possibility of the parties inter-
ested in this concern, we would say to
bill holders, hold on to your money, we
are confident that the institution is sound.

Slow Mails.

1t is really vexatious and trying to the
flesh Of the citizens of Nebraska, to en-
dure uncomplainingly, the slow and tedi-
Gus manner in which the U. S. Mail is
conveyed 70 this Territory, west of the
Mississippi. Only yesterday, we received
papers from Philadelphia and also
from Cleveland, Ohio, which was on the
way ever since the 9Th of April. 1t takes
from three to four weeks for a letter to
reach this city from the State of Ohio, when
travellers can come through ria Iowa City,
in five days. This is too bad, and ought
to be remedied at once, by those having
de proper authority.

Enclosing a check for two thousand
dollars"
This letter, with the check enclosed,
was received by Mr.. Kalloch on Tuesday
last. The check was in the usual form
of a printed blank, duly filled up for $4,000,
and purporting to be signed by ID. Jayne
4 Son, and endorsed by Myres, Clag-
horn & Co. Having no reason to doubt
its genuineness, Mr.. Kalloch on Thurs
day passed the check to Mr.. G. Driscoll,
of III Court street, who, after endorsing
it. drew the money from the Eagle Bank
aud paid it to Mr.. Kalloch. The Eagle
Bank passed the check to Messrs. Gilbert
y Sons, the well known Stock and Ex-
change Brokers, at Ii Kilbv street. They
forwarded the paper to Philadelphia, and
on Saturday last received a telegraphic
message stating that all the Philadelph a
names were forgeries.
The check on being returned here, was
promptly taken up by a few of Mr.. Kali
Ioch's intimate personal friends. In the
mean while, Mr.. Kalloch had unsuspect-
ingly used the money in defraying the ex-
penses connected with his trial, in accord
ance with the terms of the fraudulent " do.

MOVING MACHINES.

1t may be rather early in the season
to talk much about moving aud gathering
of harvest; but none too early TO make
preparations for that busy season of the
year, that tries mems backs as well as
their souls. 1t seems as though the time
had come when it is absolutely Necessary
for the farmer to resort to machinery as
much as possible, in order to secure his
crops in due season; and there Is no ma
chine Of late years that has absorbed the
attention of the husbandmau so much as
moving machine. We would say to all
those who anticipate getting machines,
engage them now, in order that they may
have them ready to go 10 work ween the
time arrives for their use. There is Meth
ing like being ready in due season to
commence a job of work-better be a day
too early than a day too late.
There are many different kinds now i'll
use, aud each claims the supremacy over
the other. There are Ketchum's, Aliens,
Manny's, Hallenback's, Bradfeld's, Ro-
ney's, Dietz's and Dunham's (cam wheel),
Baues' and Young America, manufac-
tured by Rockafeliow & Howell. Some
give Ketchuni's the preference, and will
have no ether; some prefer Aliens as a
little superior; several have Hallenbacks's;
while others take Banes', all of which
have been used in this neighborhood. |
had the pleasure of viewing the latest i'm
proved machine, made by Rockafellow,
some time ago. 1t has all the improve
ments Of the mower and reaper combined,
which many of the others have not. The
lightness of draft and the fact of there
being no side pressure, makes it an OBJ
ieCt the driver can sit on his seat, and
throw it out of gear, and at the same mo.
ment elevate the cutting bar by an inge.
niously-contrived lever, so as to drive ovel
stumpS, or stones, or fresh cut grass
without any Interference. 1t can also be
converted into a reaper IN a few mo-
ments, and as there is a seIf-raker at
tached, it requires none but the driver t.
perform the work. There are two sets o.
knives, one of them being stationary, ac

The National Era, the leading anti
slavery paper in the country, published
at Washington came out last week with
a long article against the course of the
free state party of Kansas, in refusing to
take part in e%lecting delegates to the con.
stitutional convention. The Era advises
the party to " reconsider" their plan.
and make immediate efforts to show
their strength at the polls. The Era says
that no test oaths are required of voters,
and every inhabitant can vote, and if the
free state men do not vote they will pref
udIce themselves in the eyes of the people
and be placed at a disadvantage with the
democratic party.
