Nebrasxa Ne wspapers-Nlerited Castisat
We clip the following remarks from the
Des Moines Citizen. We have, perhaps, as
little regard and respect for 3. B. CHAPMAN,
as either the Times or Neus, yet we have
no sympathy with the low, vulgar billings
gate employed by either of the above prints,
or with that used by the Nebraskian in the
defense. That B. b. CHAPMAN is rs cor
rupt and unprincipled rs he is represented
to be, we entertain not the slightest doubt,
but we can see no necessity or justification,
for the vulgar and indecent language used
by the parties to the controversy. A decent
use of the English vocabulary, and small
amount of editorial courtesy, would GER
tainly add much to ''the dignity of the pro-
fession.s - ..--. r-s..
The Omaha Nc5raskian, Times and Ne
braska City Neus. are aiming to exemplify
what is meant by the grossest abuse Of the
freedom of the press. The quantity Of BIT
ter slang, personal vituperation, and malig-
nant cross firing which they employ, is abb
solutely revolving. Hon. Bird B. Chapman
lat , Delegate to Congress from Nebraska, is
the mark at which the Times and News are
pouring continual broadsides, while the Ne
brdskidn assumes the defense of this gen.
tleman.
1t has been our melancholy fortune to
read few articles in these papers; and we
must confess, that in low, vile, earthly, de-
grading, repulsive, bilingsgate enormities,
these articles have never been surpassed by
the language of n London Cockncy, or by
an excited professor of coarse, brutal, vul-
gar and drunken literature. 1t is shame
an outrage upon the intelligence of their
readers. We are astonished that these pa
pers have single subscriber. Every man
or woman of refinement OF delicacy, whose,
eyes rest upon these Democratic organs,
must experience feeling Of loathing and
disgust.
ii Hon. B. B. Chapman were demon
in human form-the walking embodimen,
of all the villsiny that has been accumu-
latins for six thousand years, the express
sions that are applied to him by the Time.
and Ne,cs, are wantonly malignant and IN
justi6ablc. They beft not the pen Of any
writer, nor the tongue of any speaker. II
civilization has found its way into Nebras-
ka, We trust that kind Providence will di.
rect its footsteps to those editors who have
forgotten, or who have never known the true
mission Of a newspaper.

Rents must Come Down.

The Keokuk Gate City,indulges in the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks, in relation to the
propriety of great reduction in rents. We
regard the suggestion, as one eminently tit
to be made, and as applicable to this lati-
tude, as to that of Keokuk. 1t says-''rents
have always been high here, too high for
the best interests of the city; but thus far
the rush Of emigration, and the rapid in
crease of business, have sustained the high
rates. But now hard times are upon US, the
prices Of labor, of produce and of property,
have gone down, immigration is checked,
and the amount of bushes, as well as the
profits Of business in our city, have been
very much diminished in consequence. Peo-
pie cannot now afford to pay the high rates
which they have been accustomed to, and
landlords are sacrificing their own interests,
rs we'll as the welfare of the city, by insist
ing upon it. We think it self-evident
proposition that business men cannot, du-
ring the present times, make sufficient prof.
its upon their diminished sales to pay the
exorbitant rents demanded for business
houses; and We feel very certain that the
average income of our population will not
justify them in paying current rates for
dwelling houses. Such being the case, it
seems to US that the dictates of sound poll
cy demand an immediate reduction of rents
in some adequate proportion to the general
reduction of business and prices. The eff
feet of continuing present rates will be to
keep out any new corners from settling and
establishing business here, and will drive
out number already here, to seek locations
where expenses of living are not SO high;
and by winter, when emigration ceases, we
shall have plenty Of empty houses and no
body to occupy them. Let rents be brought
down at once to fair standard, and We will
not only retain our present inhabitants, but
add considerably to our population before
winter sets in; but keep up the price of rents
and many of our citizens will be forced to
leave, and few or none will come in to take
their places.o "5% @a ,a&it@ s@i"t s7f

PRESIDENT PIERcE.-We are happy to learn, says
the Richmond Enquirer, that there is reasonable
prospect that President PIERCE at the close Of his
brilliant administration, will make tour through
the southern States. We feel fully justified in de-
c'aring that there is no man in the confederacy
whom the entire South would more cordially wei
come. We should like him to minglc with people
whose rights and honor he has nobly defended in
defending the constitution of the United States and
the union of equal and sovereign States. To Vir-
gina it would be especially grateful to do honor to
President who battling against the most malig-
nant enemies in his own section, has as farlessly
and powerfully carried out the S,ate-rights, strict
construction, Jefersoan principles any President
since the days Of Jefferson himself.
