CoNaLRcE OF BRA2iL.-At the present
moment Brazil has no less than eight differ
ent lines ~ steamers connecting her With
England, Fmncn, Hamburg, Portugal. Bel
gum and Sardinia while the United State,
which hat liiheito beon tic great CONNER
cial rival OF Great Britain in that country,
has not u single line to any portion OF Soutll
America.
"England's commerce with Brazil since
the establishment, of hei first steam line Ia
1850 has increased her exports more than
one hundred pr cent, While the United
States has required thirteen yoars 10 mako
tie same advance. Her entire c0mDerre
with Brazil, imports and exports, has hd-
yanced two hundred and twenty Eve per
cent. since her frst steam line was cs;ab-
lished. Each year the balance of trade
Is increasing rapidly against US. In 1866.
the United States exported 10 Brazil So

imported frum Brazil Sl9.2G2 ,G57. or in
other wOSls, our last years trading with
Brazil left against US the cash balance OF

rates OF exchange. England, in 1865, soid
Brazil go, 900, OC0. and bought Of her In
return only $4,000, 600, thus leaving tho
latter her debtor. Why Is there such n dis
astrous account against us? British s.eam-
ere, energy, and capital, and our neglect,
have thus advanced the commerce Of Eng,

Notwithstanding their boosted enterprise.

L.asne Apology for Chapman's
Rascality.

Rascality.
The editor Of the Nebrnskian appears
to be an adept at figuring On "mare's
nests" and in last weeks issue, devotes
over a column to an article published re-
Gently in the Times and Gazette. The
article referred to by the Nebraskian, ex-
posed the criminal dGplicity of b. b.
Chapman, in receiving $1,000 in gold
from Gen. p. A. Ssrpy, Tor his services
in prosecuting a chi@ sgains the United
States.
As usual, the editor commences his ar
ticle by referring TO Ferguson having OBJ
tanned a pre-empson tale TO a quarter Sec
sioa Of land Illegally, aud TINT it had been
proven by the sesnmony of his neighbors,
that he had never lived upon it. We have
in a former number exposed the villainy
of his maligners, and will only state here,
there has been forwarded 10 the city Of
Washington, the afidsvits of t~hirty-six of
the neighbsrs of the Hon, Fenner Fer
guson, sseesring posifipcy, that he did re-
side upon che tract If land with his fam.
lily, and cultivated aud improved it accord
ing to the provisions of the pre.emp,ion
law.
The editor then pitches into Gen. Bow
en-, member of the Council, from Sarpy
couasy, with his usual amount of filthy, low
scdrrilous epithets, known only in the vo-
cabulary of the denizens Of the London
fsh-market, or the five-poin,s in New
York city. Gen. Bowen, is known TO be
a'gen,lemun of high Standing and moral
worth in Ohio, the State from which he
removed, as well as in this Territory the
home of his choice-and oil the ~vitupera.
ton and SANDER heaped upon him by the
editor Of the Nebraskian, will be but the
means Of knitting closer to him the heart.
of the genuine squatters of Nebraska. .
In this sapient editors apology fol
Chapman's conduct in the Sarpy case, he
makes three points.
First, the receipt Of $1,000, is not gen
uinc. r
Second, that q law prohibiting member
OF Congress from prosecuting claim
agaist the United States. has no applica
bility, when Indian tribes are concerned.
Third, that Chapman was retained il
the case before he was a Delegate to Con
gress, and finally that his term of otfic
had expired, before the date of the re
eeipt VIVA, profound conclusions VIVA
nnaaswerabie arguments!
The only parallel case to the above "
ever remember to have heard, happene
somewhere in the stale of Indiana. .
Mr.. b. had borrowed from Mr.. c., h
neighbor, a kettle, and it was broken b.
fore he returned il. Mr. C. sued Mr..
for the price Of The kettle. Mr.. BIS la
yer put in bis answer 70 the case a. fc
lows: H
First, we never borrowed the keele.
Second, the keale was broken wht
we borrowed il.
Third. the kettle was sound when v
returned il.
