A HINT TO THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
The sudden call that has come upon us FOR YES
sells ofwar for the Home Squadron, and the fact
that we had 20 few disposable vessels for that
service, and none to act as companion to the
Niagara in laying the Atlantic telegraph
cable, have led US to look into the whereabouts
of our modest little navy. We have been sur
priced to find that one of our finest steamships,
the Susquehanna, is laid up in our lower bay
and is to remain there until December. The
reasons for this strange course are that she has
lately come home from the West Indies With
fever on board, and cannot be cleaned for use
until Jack Frost comes to do It next December
She has on board few clothes, comprising the
purser's stock, and three or four months pro
vision. The red tape rules Of the department
prevent these being taken cut of her, 80 that she
can be fumigated and disinfected, because it is
government property and can be landed only at
government navy yard; 30 seven men are to
sleep on her decks all summer in the lower bay
of New York, the country, In the meantime, de-
manding to see every chip at sea. If the Secre-
tary of the Navy cannot, in the present emer
gepcy, frd the means of doing what every ship
owner can do with merchant ship, we will pro-
vide him with some New Workers who will uo-
dertake to cleanse the shipby contract, and have
her sweet, sound and ready for sea in thirty
days. Let the Susquehanna be discharged and
disinfected at once.

Sad Occurrence i'm Richardson
County.

A week ago last Saturday R. M'Wor-
tie was found dead In the house of T.
B. Clifford Of Richardson county, aud the
wife Of Clifford found frozen to death in
a shanty not far distant. The head of
McWortie was terribly mangled, being
cut in a number of places, and the skull
broken in with an axe, found near.
Clifford was arrested and underwent an
examination before a Justice of the Peace.
His statement was that he had killed Me-
Wortie but did it in self-defense and
that his wife became frightened and fed,
and died Of the extreme cold before she
could reach The neighbors.
We have ~conversed with several Of
ClifFord's neighbors, who suspicion, from
a number of causes, that all is not as he
states. He has been discharged we be-
lieTe; but understand another effort is
being made to get more light if possible,
1t is most likely a tragedy, about which
but one side viii ever be known.

donations unless be gets the best end Of

view the matter.
You also say that ave would be suf-
fciently numerous. to be admitted at once
into the Union as a State, and thus be-
come fun-grown men," This last decla-
ration Of yours hits the nail OF. the head,
and lets the cat out Of the bag, as it seems
to me.
In the first place; the opposition taken in
Congress on the English Bill was, you
people of Kansas cannot come into the
Union until you grow very old, unless
you will swallow the LecomptOn Consti-
tuition, feathers and all. But if you VIII
swallow It we viii grease It with a heavy
donation of land. Well, the people said
we viii not swallow It, if II IS CREASED all
over. Now it is evident that Kansas viii
make another effort to be married before
she gets to be tn old maid: and from
present appearances it is likely she VIII
succeed, and Uncle Samuel back out of
the position taken.
But if Kansas and South Nebraska viii
make up a match, and unite their fami-
lies, they united, viii be plenty old to
come into this Union, and Uncle Sam still
retainhis position, and no back-out. Tn
Gle Sam viii then say the ceremony with
a good grace. But time rolls on, and
dissatisfaction arises, and one says WEI are
l too long; another says our interests are
not mutual; and third says, then apply
: to Uncle Sam for a divorce, and divide
by a line not far from the Kansas river
l and make two families, the refractory
ones north, the peaceable ones south.
USE is very accommodating. He grants
divorce, divides the spoils. and 10! we
have two families; the n white, and the
other black; and all done according 20 the
glorious doctrine Of popular sovereignty.

Annexation.


R. w. FURNAs, in particular, and the
"Rest Of mankind" IN general:
Seeing an article in the Advertiser, of
December I'd, upon the subject of annex
ing South Nebraska to Kansas, 1 thought
that l would just say, that l for one, do
not like any such project, or matrimonial
arrangement; especially when Uncle
Sam has the privilege of saying the GER
emory. without the consent of the par
ties TO be united. l was always told
when a boy, that it took two to make a
bargain. But of late, it seems, that if
only m partyis willing to be tied, Uncle
Samuel concludes hat the other ought to
be. So the knot is tied, and if the par
ties can't agree, they must seek a divorce,
and the party most to blame take the
spoil.
But you say you ''hope Congress will
take no action in the matter until an ex-
preston, by petition or otherwise, of the
citizens interested, can be had" You
further say, you shave c~onversed with a
number of prominent citizens of Nenaha,
Johnson, and Clay counties. and find a gen.
eral opinion in favor Of annexation."-
Now l have ~conversed with a few citizens
on the same subject, and some of them a
little prominent, and not n Of them have
expressed a favorable opinion, but all very
unfavorable. But then we live in differ
ent attitudes and move in different spheres.
But while we gain a great notoriety by
being matched with Kansas; what kind
of nOtoriely is it? If so perhaps it would
be a great lever these hard times. Kan
sas, by her notoriety, has created a debt
of about one million. And if we were
united to her we would have a sufficient
nOtoriety to help pay the debt.
Is there any honor in said notoriety ?
If so, there are many seeking it, and
would be willing TO use any honorable
means to attain it. But alas much ton

ANNEXATION.
e. ". FuRSAs:

In the last issue Of the Advertiser, Isee
an editorial urging reasons for annexing
all South of the Platte River, in Nebras-
ka to Kansas. For one, as a citizen Of
Nebraska, l am decidedly opposed to the
measure. If the object was to divide
Nebraska and Kansas and take all be-
tween the Platte and Kansas rivers, and
make a new Territory, I would have no
objections. But to annex all south of
the Platte to Kansas I have many objec-
Ttions. 1t is true, by the move, we would
gain something in name and notoriety,
but would that Offset for the taxes we
would have to pay in helping settle and
pay interest on a debt now owing by
Kansas of rising one million. We, in
Nebraska, owe about twenty thousand,
and you think we will not be able in less
than ten years to supports State govern
ment. If joined to Kansas would we be
better able to support a State Government
and pay the interest and principal of a
debt fifty times as great as ours? Again
as we now stand in Nebraska, South of
the Platte has the majority, and has the
controlling power in this Territory. Ac.
cOrding to the ApportiOnment passed at
the last session, we have one majority in
the House, and in another year we will
have more. We can control legislation
to our own benefit, and have a due share
of all public Improvements. But if an
nexed to Kansas it will throw US away
off in the North East corner of the Ter.
ritory, without number or power to ever
control legislation for the benefit of this
portion of the State or Territory, and all
the improvements will be taken south of
US, nearer the center, and we will be
outsiders-mere hangers-on-only useful
10 thera to help pay their enormous pub
lie debt, and without strength to help our
selves in any way.
And again: all the good lands within
one hundred miles of the Missouri river,
in Kansas, are already claimed or pre-
empted, while we have much fine land,
unclaimed, within ten miles of the river.
The consequence viii be that with their
twenty million acre grants, and numer-
Gus railroad grants, that viii almost GER
tainly be given, they viii literally sweep
all Wi good lands near the river. and hold
them above Congress prices, and so they
can neither be claimed or entered by &C.
tual settlers, thus virtually stopping all
Improvements for years.
