Tipping Shops.

"What can we do to abolish
tippling houses in our midst?' "Do
not the proprietors of such establish
ments know that they are doing wrong
that there are more honorable,
agreeable and lucrative modes of gain
ing a livelihood all around them?"-
"Why don't yoa, Mr.. Editor, pitch into
them?" These and many other similar
questions areput to US daily by citizens,
not only by those protesting to be
temperance men, but by those, too,
who frequently indulge in the use Of
the "critter," some of them to excess.
Our notions upon this subject may
differ from those of very many-per-
haps, are singular. Yet they are our
honest convictions. We have all our
life looked upon certain evils which
"afFlict mankind" as uneradicable-
They have been fastened upon US from
time immemorial, and We believe will
never be wholly got rid of. We class
sin, whisky, gambling, negroes and wild
cat banks in the same category. They
are, and truly to be lamented, permanent
fixtures, and in our opinion, all We can
reasonably expect to do is to govern
them as closely and rigidly as public
opinion will warrant. And we do not
believe the wisest plan is to "pitch i'm
to them. We believe the liquor law
in this Territory is entirely too rigid,
so much so that it amounts only to
ga dead letter" upon the Statute Books.
No attention whatever is paid to it.
We believe milder law would have

Secretary CObb-The Money Crisis.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
done the community of merchants,
bankers and other business people a
real service through the present trial
in money affairs. He has promptly
and studiously for thirty days past,
shaped the government disbursements
to the largest measure of pecuniary
relief. We have seldom known a
public functionary, under similar cir
eumstances to manifest so much prac-
tical sympathy. We had occasion
early in July to commend the timely
disbursements made from the New
York Sub-Treasury, when it was an
ticipated that the first accumulation
under the new tariff might work in
convenience to the bankers. But the
measures taken since the close Of
August have been doubly valuable.
and ought not to fail of proper com
mendation.
On the Oath August, when the panic
began in this City by the failure Of
the Ohio Trust, the ub-Treasury hello
twelve millions and half of dollars
in gold of the twenty-five and hal
millions in the City-the bank having
lost heavily the previous week by ex.
port to Europe. Seeing that our banks
would be greatly strengthened by con.
centrating the Government disburse
ments at this point, and by promptly
auditing and paying the special anc
general appropriations of Congress
which we're made to take effect aftel
the ,1st day of July, Mr.. Cobb hal
reduced his balance in New York t.
the amount of $2,75O,OOO, nearly
every dollar of which went into bank
The consequence is that to-day th'
position of the specie held by the Sub
Treasury and the banks is completely
reversed, and the latter afforded tht
utmost relief the Secretary coulc
arrange for nnder the law.

County Commissioners, Court.

The October term of the County
Commissioners Court having just
closed we are permitted to make the
following gleanings from their pro-
ceedings:
On petition, the towns of Glen Rock
and Eldorado were incorporated under
the general act for such purposes.
Two additional Precincts were also
established, Nos. 4 and 5; No. 4 to
be called Shoaf's Precinct and to be
held at the house G.. w. Shoaf, and
the following appointments made
: therefor:
Lawrence KinnisOn, Justices of the
Phillip Starr, Peace.
John Delay, Constables.

These disbursements will be rapidly


These disbursements will be rapidly
continued. Mr.. Cobb determined,
few days since, to reduce the premium
which he is paying on the public stocks,
unless they are sent in forthwith for
redemption. His desire is to distribute
his balances, as far as they can be ap-
propriated to this object, to the best
public advantage, and at the earliest
day possible to afordrelief to the money
market. The new order is, that up to
the 1st of November he will continue
to pay sixteen per cent. premium ana
the accrued interest for the bonds and
certificates of loan of 1867-60. After
that date he will reduce the premium
to fourteen per cent. One or more Of
our leading Savings Banks, we learn,
will avail of this notice at once, and
having the opportunity to reinvest in
New York State Stocks to advantage
will send on their United States bonds
and certificates for the higher premium
The operation will be equal to SO much
gold transferred from the Sub-Treas-
ury to active banking use.
There are other movements OF the
Secretary which have come under our
notice tending 70 similar relief, though
of less Importance. The whole effect
has been to popularize the Sub-Treas-
ury system, in a season of severe
pecuniary trial, and to afford degree
of substantial aid to business for which
the pnblic are largely indebted to the
practical sense of the head of the
Treasury department.-N. Y. Times.

DELEGATE FROM NEBRAsKA.-The
election of Judge Ferguson as delegate
to Congress from this Territory is the
cause OF much rejoicing among the
National men of that vigorous young

very superior man and a sterling Dem
ocrat, and will ably represent his con-
stituents in Congress. The defeat and
utter overthrow of Chapman, shows

The territorial tax is 3 F" /" &" Z"
Making total of 8 4" ="
What the Indebtedness of the county
is, or what is the necessary amount OF
money to be raisedwe have not learned
We presume, however, the assessment
is sufficient to meet the demands
While we are young and feeble nothing
more in our opinion should be aimed
at.
There is one matter connected with
our county expenses, we are here re-
minded of, and to which we earnestly
and respectfully call the attention Of
tax payers. We have on our hands a
runaway crippled negrOe, awaiting his
trial at next term of court, costing the
county seuen dollars and fifty cents pc,
day. Is there no way by which a
call OF special term can be had, and
we get rid of this enormous burthen
We think if Judge BLACK was made
acquainted with the facts in the case
there would be no difficulty in getting
at the matter.

We learn that Mr.. P. G. Sullivan,

test the seat of Mr.. Peterson.
There is matter worthy of note in
the above result, viz: but FIVE members

Nemaha County.

Sheriff PLAsTERs having completed
his labors assessing the property of
this county, the Clerk, Mr.. PARKER,
has kindly furnished us with the foot
ings, which we viii briefly compare with
those of last year, and the year before
the first year of our organization
as county-that new comers and our
readers in the States especially, may
sse what progress we are making.
In 1856 the total amount of taxa
bic property in the county was $74,-
$50 90; in 1856 it was S174,54 90,
being an increase of S99,566 Co.,
This year 1857 the total amount of
taxable property is S45O,264 so, the
increase being S275,718 so. The
value of Town property in 1856 was
$3.50 90; in 1856 it was S39,87O 90;
and this year it is S15O,999 90, as fol-
lows:
Brownville S134, ,504 90
Nemaha City 1870 90
Peru --- 2,135 90
London 1,O5OOO
In 1856 claims and unentered town
lots were taxed. In 1856 and 1857,
improvements upon, investments in,
and pre-empted real estate or lands
only, were taxed.
=. By reference to the Land Office
Books we find the number of acres of
land pre-empted in this county to be
32,346, and the Assessors return
shows the value of, and improvements
thereon, to be $299, ,265 90.
We are quite sure the above valua-
ton; both as to town and country
property, is far below its real value
We all know that one half of tax
payers generally return their property
for taxation at about one half what il
is worth; or is selling for; about one
fourth manage by hOcus pOcus man
uvering to get rid of making any
returns, and the balance, one fourth
return as near as may be, a fair average
valuation. The increase by this, how.
ever, would be about the same, OF
proportionately so. Every citizen Of
Nemaha county has reason to fee
proud of our Coward progress" Il
has been and is yet steady and healthy
One or two other points in the Terri
ritory, as to prices of property and
town improvements have gone ahead
of US. Really, however, there has
been nothing to Justify them, and the
present financial crisis places them il
a sad predicament. Agriculturally
we yield to No other county in Ne
braska.
Altogether as county, We have done
nObly the past year; and every indi
cation warrants the conclusion that tn,
coming year viii in every respect prov,
more progressive still.
