turcd by Joe Campbell, notoEwasti, and Lit

Two years ago last Christmas. we ate
dinner at our own log house, with a dirt
roof on it, in the then msurveyed city of
Bellevue; and upon the Christmas Just
passed, we again ate our dinner at Belle
vue. The house we ate at this time had
no dirt on the roof, the table we were in
vited to this time had something else upon
it besides salt meat and bread. and we
looked back two years into the past, into
that log house, into that empty potatoe
bag, into hat awful pork barrel, dropped
n tear to the memory Of that time, and
immediately pitched into about four pounds
Of baked ~venison, a leg, a wing and a
portion Of the bosom of a roasted turkey,
six or eight potatoes, a few turnips, FIVE
beets, two parsnipS, nineteen Goldfish balls
and "some pumpkins" all of which deli
cacies were put before us in abundance
by mine hest, J. 7. Allan, of the Mission
House, who knows how to make good
dinners.
Bellevue, with the rest of the Terrific
ry, has advanced rapidly in improve
ments. Her Hotels, the Mission House
and the Benton House, are, without ex.
ception, the very best in the Territory of
Nebraska. Her Bank is as sound as any,
her leading men are as intelligent and
enterprising as any, and her location, at
the eastern portal of the great Platte Val
ley, is unsurpassed. We wish Bellevue
and its inhabitants, many of whom are our
warm personal friends, the most triumph
ant success now, and a future resplendent
with the brightest results of an u~ntiring
energy and an interchangeable industry

OUR -aRANpMoTHER,s VITO

WIN VIM
The Governor Of the Council Bluffs
and Omaha City Ferry Company has,
with most indecent haste, placed his seal
Of contemplation upon the great principle
of Squatter Sovereignty. In this, a great
blow has been struck at the well aclnow-
lodged and loudly boosted of i~nalicnable
right of the people to regulate their own
matters in accordance with the principles
Of Republican, Democracy. The key that
unlocks the motive which prompted our
weak, imbccile, old grondmothorIy cxccu-
tive to the exercise of this kingly, this
more than Autocratic power, to subvert
the almost unanimous wish of the people,
may be found in the immense and enor-
nous profit arising from a contract for
Capitol building in u sin.beset and city
lot ~bc-spnttcred conscience, which never
entertained an honest principle Of right
and Justice due the people Of a whole
Territory, to the exclusion Of Il pocket
self and family interest.
1t is not our place as a journalist to en-
quirc how many city lots in Omaha were
necessary to convince an executive Of the
imperative necessity Of commencing to
build Il Capitol by %squandering Fifty
Thousand Dollars in money belonging to
the Territory, at a point well known to
have NEVER been the choice of the people
of the Territory, and that, too, in direct
opposition to petition after petition from n
vast majority of the squatters of Nebraska.
Should death, famine and pestilence
sweep over the beautiful p%rairies of Me-
braska, should we again be visited with
the blighting curses of the thousand and
one Presidential plaques which visited the
ancient Egyptians, they would be more
tolerable than the putrid, rotten and cor
rupt acts of an Executive who dare dc
violence to every principle of right to adj
vance self interest,

The In,c Father Mathew.

The news by the Canada announced
briefly the death Of the celebrated Father
Mathew, at Cork, on the OH instant.
The following sketch of his life will be
read with interest:
"Theobald Mathew was born in Thorn
aston, Ireland, October 10, 1880. He
was left an orphan at an early age, adopt
ed by an aunt, and educated in Kilkenny
Academy aud at Maynooth. He was or
duined to the priesthood at Dublin, having
previously entered upon his philanthropic
labors among the poor. The curse of
whisky, brought so fearfully TO his notice
among these wrelched people, reused him
to unwontcd enthusiasm, and he deter
mined upon a crusade against the demon
of alcohol. Adopting the principle of to-
tai abstinence, he commenced n series of
meetings, and soon awakened the latent
enthusiasm Of the Irish nature to his as
sistancc, meeting with a success beyond
the widest hopes. He travelled from
town to town through all the island. His
spotless fame preceded him, and his pro-
gress was one triumphal march. The au-
thorities unbcnt their dignity to do him
honor, and the people followed and crowd
ed around him with alteration. He ad-
ministered the pledge to thousands at a
time at Nenagh to twenty thousand in
one day at Galway to a hundred thou
sand in two days; between Galway and
Loughrea to nearly two hundred thou
sand.
"From Ireland he went TO England,
where even the phlegmatic Saxons were
infected with a corresponding enthusiasm.
Thence he came to the United States,
where to shake hands with the apostle of
temperance and receive his medal with a
pledge of total abstinence, was ahe high
est ambition Of every worthy son and
daughter of the Emerald Isle. His warm
reception and gratifying success in this
country are well remembered. Through
all his Herculean labor he never amassed
c cent for himself, but was constantly. in q
state of personal poverty. When he be-
gan his good work, his brother was the
proprietor of a large distillery. He sup
ported Theobald until his wonderful sue.
cess had ruined the distillery, and re.
duced the owner TO bankruptcy. To meet
the wants of the good Samaritan, the
British Government settled an annuity Of
E300 upon him, which sum was just sufii.
cient to pay the premium upon an insur,
ance policy held by his creditors as secu'
rity for their claims. Since his return t
Ireland, the weight of years and the ex
ertions of long labor have compelled hi
partial Withdrawal from public life, anC
his name has been less prominently be
fore the public. In personal address
Father Mathew was courteous, benevo
lent, and winning in the highest degree
The news of his death will be receive,
with profound regret by every true frien'
of man throughout the world"

viii Gov. lizard Veto the BiII
for the Removal of the Capital
from Omaha.

1t is well known by many that Gov.
ernor ~lEARD, when first appointed, many
times, and upon many occasions, express
ed himself so much of n Squuuer Sover-
eighty man that he has been heard to say
that nc only wanted to know the wishes
of n majority of the people, and it should
always be his pleasure to reflect their
wishes, The bill for the removal of the
Capital has passed the Council by . to 4,
and the House Of Representatives by a
vote of % to IL. We shall now see
whether our Governor, as n Governor Of
the people, win redeem the many unquaii.
fed and voluntary pledges he has made
TO the people of Nebraska. The miscru-
bic excuse, the mcrest suLlerfugc, that
the Representative in the Legislature do
not represent the will or wishes Of their
constituents, we hope for the intelligence
of both parties will not be urged. We
believe that if the great principle of
Squatter Sovereignty, rs cnunciated in
the Kansas and Nebraska Bill, is, in the
abstract, Of that vital Importance the world
has attached to it, allowing the Sovereign
People TO settle their W local matters
without the interference of the General
Government, and that, too, in matters
really and morally affecting the whole
nation, surely this principle should ex-
tend with double force to those local mat
tiers here which only affect those inter-
ests wherein the people of the Territory
are alone concerned. We can never be-.
lieve, until we know otherwise, that the
Governor can stultify his natural good
understanding of right and Justice by get
ting behind any excuse or pretext what
ever to thereby thwart the wishes and
desires so well known and so decisiyely
and emphatically expressed by the PEG.
PIE, through their Representatives. In
this, we shall see whether he is the Gov
ernor of the Territory of Nebraska or
the Governor of the Council Bluffs and
Omaha City Ferry Company.

ingly asks twas he the recipient of corner
lots then"
Mr.. "Nebroskian," the answer is sim.
pie, and you wil!fuiy and maliciousiy
m~isrepresent, when you intimate that the
same l.. L. Bowen has been Inconsistent
IN his vote last winter and this and you
and the balance of Douglas county know
that but for the high sense of honor that
prompted every act and vote of l.. l..
Bower last winter, your Capital would
have been put on wheels without hesita-
ton, as far as his vote and influence went.
These are the facts. Bowen was elected
to the Legislature last winter by the voters
of Douglas county before a division was
made, and received his largest vote in
Omaha and he stated at the time he
cast his vote for this measure, il was the
wish of his constituents that the Capital
should remain at Omaha, but he was adj
verse to the location himself. Did he not
reflect unhesitatingly and unequivocally,
the interests of those who placed him in
power, yielding all personal preference in
this matter; but to this Legislature he
was elected unanimously, Sape one uote. by
the people of the Southern District of
Douglas alone, who, from the beginning
of the great wrongs which were perpe-
trated upon them SO numerically and I'M
scrupulously by executive power; with the
continued help of Omaha Legislation,
have been, and are now, unanimous in
favor of the correction of this mammoth
and stupendous wrong by the removal OF
the Capital from Omaha TO some point
more central in the Territory. Then,
does he not now not only represent his
W views, as they were last winter, and
more particularly the well-known and
well-upderSood wishes of his immediate
constituents.
Mr.. "Nebraskian," you will do well,
as the organ of this infamous, corrupt
Capital Clique. before you attempt to
drag others into the filth and mire of
political pollution you have wallowed in
for the last two years, TO pick your flint

The FIRST RAILROAD IN KANsAs-TnE
INDIANS AS CAPITALIsTs--CoMMUNI-
CATION WITH Observation-Disclosures
OF THE GovERNoR-A LETTER TO
Gov. KING OF New YoRK.
Special Cores. of the N. Y. Daily Times.
LAWRENCE, Kansas, Dec. 10, 1856.
A short time since a meeting was held
in Liundaro, the new town on the Mis-
souri,, Just above the mouth of the Kansas
river; and at that time, without u days
premedAa+ian-nrIh prospect of anX-na-
tional aid, a subscription was started, and
raised to the amount of $4,000. Since
that time the idea has constantly grown
in favor. The embryo town of Wyun-
dotte, exactly at the confluence of the
Kansas and the Missouri, took up the
project with zeal and contrary to expec-
tation, the nov growing city of Kansas,
Just in Missouri, has caught the contagion
of enterprise, and is z~ealously in favor of
the road, promising both subscriptions and
influence.
And, to crown the project with a still
brighter halo of expectation, a new scheme
has been preached, which inaugurates a
really new era in railroad history. Ac-
cording to this project, the Indians are
now to enter the lists and contend for the
honors and profits with the veterans of
the East. 1t seems that the Delawares
will receive from the sales of their lands
about n million of dollars, one-half of
which will be in their treasury during the
present Winter; and their Agent, Major
Robinson, is in favor of using it to build
this Identical railroad, which will pass for
nearly its whole distance through the
lands Of those same Delawares. This
plan, besides originality, has its real
merits. The Indians will get a better in
vestment of their money than they could
do in any other way, while at the same
time the construction of the road will i'm
mcnsely enhance the value Of their lands.
1t is hopeful that this plan may proceed.
In fact, it is scarcely possible to oppose to
it Il valid objection. 1t is a little singular
that the Delaware Agent-a Pro-Slavery
man-should be the one to propose it;
but the circumstance is one of those augu-
RES OF good when 90 10 promise 10 Kan
saS the permanent peace which she has
been so long denied.
COMMUNICATION WITH MISSOURI.
ApropoS of railroads, | must not omit
to say that Missouri is at length awaking
to their importance. Several are recent
ly projected, with fair prospects of sue
cess. In western Missouri, the plain in-
dications are, that these roads will center
near the junction of the Missouri and
Kansas rivers, Here it is intended that
the Keokuk and Kansas city, the Platte
country aud the Parkville, Grand river
and Burlington Roads shall terminate
and this fact has given a tremendous i'm.
pulse to the growth of the towns cluster
ing around this point. Already has pro-
perry increased in Kansas city three or

"Owing to the fact that New Orleans
