Most Of them belong to the highest
class, but found with arms in their
hands they were thrown into thepchain
gang with common m~alefactors and
sent to the public works in the Callejon
de Santa Clara where they were en-
gagged in cleaning the public sewers
"The promptitude and novelty of the
castigation," says a correspondent,
"caused a general surprise as well as
much comment, and some sympathy,
which last we cannot help thinking
surperfuous, as we remember that
hanging and ~quartering was, until
recently the punishment for treason"
We have news from Europe to the
9th ult. 1t seems that the Spanish
and Mexican question is by no means
so near its settlement as had been re-
Gently supposed. The hopes of an
amicable andspeedy adjustment, based
on the arrival at Madrid of Senior
Lafragua, the authorized negotiator
On behalf of Mexico, have not as yet
advanced much towards a realization.
Spain refuses to renew diplomatic re-
Iations until the punishment of the
assassins of Cuernavaca shall have
been actually inflicted, and demands
the prompt payment Of her claims.
On his side, Senior Lafragua asks to
be officially recognized and that Mex
leo will do all hat is possible to do to
punish the murderers after such recog-
milton. AS for the Spanish claims he
says that Mexico is ready to pay part
of them, utthat others r of a fraud
ulent nature, and asks a reconsidera-
ton of the treaty in virtue of which
they are to be paid. If Mexico does
not adhere to her demands, Spain
seems determined to break off all ne
gotiations and then hostilities may be
expected, which would require imme-
date measures from the United States.
The visit of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine to Napoleon III, and Queen
Victoria, the travels Of the Pope and
of the Emperor Of Austria through
their dominions, are the main subjects
on which all official and Oficious papers
continue to expatiate. All their nov
ments are watched by complascent
chroniclers, and We have full columns
of the most trifing details concerning
their enthusiastic reception every
where and the splendid festivities
given them by their hosts.
But, Notwithstanding what papers
say, signs OF dissatisfaction among the
masses are unmistakable. In the last
arrivals from Europe, we see that in
Belgium, a politico-religiou movement
is on foot, several converts and mon
asteries having been attacked with the
cries of "dOwn with the Catholics"
"dOwn with the priests" THAT bread
riots have occurred at Grenada, Spain,
and the City declared in a state of
siege;-At Paris an attempt has been
made upon the life of the Emperor,
being the tenth or eleventh since he
usurped the supreme power.

HIHE PROPRIET0RS of this new town, recently
i laid off in Nemaha county, Nebraska, wish to
call the attention of the citizens as well as those
just coming into the county, to the numerous adYan-
tag S, they are confident all who will take the trouble
to examine will acknowledge, surround it. In the
first place it is as near as possible in the geographic
Oal centre of the cOunty-it is in the centre Of pop
nlation and Improvement on the main through
fare leading North and South and East and West.
The town site is nearly level, gently rOllin, is sur
rounded by the timbers Of the Missouri and Little
Nemaha; good water is of easy access, several fine
springs are on the town site. Good building stone
near at handsome coal has been found in abund-
anee within a short days travel, which can be
brought into requiSition for mechanical purposes of
ankinds.
Another matter, it is confidently believed that
the day is not far distant when a Railroad will be
constructed along the river tier Of counties in Ne
braska, from the northern to the southern boundary.
The nature of the country such that this road must
pass through Eldorado.
With its position and all these advantages sur
rounding it, the propriet0rs With many Others, feel
assured that it will be for the best interests of the
.cOsnty to locate the County Seatat EldOrado. Be-
lieVeing thus and feeling willing to assist the county
we pledge ourselves and viii enter into bond, if
necessary, to donate to the County two hundred
acres of land in town lots, provided the County Seat
is located there within a reasonable length of time.
