COnstlpatlOh or COstIYeness.

No one Of the many ellis flesh is heir to" is so pre-
valent, so little understood, and so much neglected
as Costiveness. Often originating in carelessness
or sedentary habits, it is regarded as a slightdisor
der Of too little consequence to excite anxiety, Will
in reality it is the precursor and companion Of
Of the most fatal and dangerous diseases, and un
less early eradicated, it viii bring tbe suferert to a
untimely grave. Among the lighter evils Of whic
eostiveness is the usual attendant are Headache
Collie, Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and other
Of like nature, while a long train Offrightful disea
ses such as Malignant Fevers, Abeesses. Dysentery
Diarrhea. Dyspepsia, ApOplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis,
Hysteria, HypochOndriasis, Melancholy and 1nsani-
ty, first indicate their presence in the system by this
alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases
named originator Constipation, but take on an in
dependent existence unless the cause is eradiostea
in an early stage. From all these considerations, 10
follows that the disorder should receive immediate
attention whenever 10 occurs, and no person should
neglect to get q box Of Cephalie Pills on the first
appearance Of the complaint, as their timely use
will expei the insiduous approaches Of disease, and
destroy thisdangerous foe to human life.

Your Local PaDer.

The following very sensible article IN
regard to the Importance of local papers,
we clip from Life Illustrated, and hope
the citizens Of Brownville and Nemaha
county will read it and act on II:
Reader, did YOU ever reflect on the
subject of supporting literally the press,
and, first Of all, your own local news
paper 2 If not, permit US 70 suggest to
you your privilege and your duty IN this
respect:
Each city, town and village in a coun-
try like the United States should be rep
resented by a live local newspaper, and
Il would be well not only for the people
and the place so represented, TO have a
paper which would be an honor and a
credit 10 the State and the nation. Stran-
gers from abroad Judge US from our news
paper press, and hence the importance of
making that instrument IS perfect and
potent as possible.
Il is the duty Of eCeTg citizen Of each
place to contribute something towards
improving and strengthening the local
press, and may do it by subscribing and
paying for his paper, by advertising in It,
by recommending it to others, or in all
of these ways. Were the country press
as literally %patronized and as well sup
ported as it should be, the country would
not be so flooded with the worthless trash,
in the shape Of love-and-murder-stori
as it now is, which poison and vitiate the
minds Of the young. There is usually
more moral integrity and circumspection
manifested by editors Of the country press
than by those in the large cities, and a
more healthy tone Of mind and morals
will generally pervade them. They are
more free from the reports of degrading
vices and crimes, and are never opened
with that feeling Of suspicion which at
taches to the flash literature of the day.
The country press may be improved.
Each individual residing within the limits
of Its sphere and circulation may aid in
its improvement. He may be on the
lookout for interesting information, and
when this is obtained communicate it to
the editor. He may bring his own bust
ness before the public by an appropriate
advertisement, or if he has beef, pork.
or grain to sell, he may announce il
through the local press. He may give
historical sketches Of the past, and show
the progress and changes going on a
present. He may help to make bis local
paper a sourse of instruction to strangers
and Of entertainment to his neighbors
Is he a manufacturer? Let him invite
capital and influence by setting forth such
natural advantages as the place may pos.
sess, and indicate the routes by which il
may be reached, its accessibility to market
etc. There is no estimating the advan.
tages to any town or village of a live
local journal, and we doubt if there is tc
be found at the present time an editor
who gets fully paid for the services he
performs, and we put the responsibility
where it belongs, namely, on the people,
whose business and duty it is, first of all
to support handsomely their own loca.
paper.

After The mail closed this morning

Considerable time was spent in listening
10 the argument of Mr.. Thomas Rash, in

case. Mr.. Rash contested the seat of
Mr.. Arnold, of Atchison. The Commit

in favor Of Mr.. Arnold, but accorded to
MIR. Rash the privilege Of arguing his
a 70 the House. AT the conclusion of
his argument, this afternoon, the report
of the Committee on Elections, in favor
Of Mr.. Arnold, was adopted.
We are glad TO know this matter has
been disposed Of, and in favor Of DR..

Death OF Chief Justice Han.

The following are the Resolutions adj
opted by the Members of the Bar of the
First Judicial District of Nebraska on the
death of Hon. Augustus Hall and ex.
press the high esteem in which he was
held by his professional brethren:
WHEREAs, It having been announced
to us that the Hon. AUGUsrUs HAIL,
Chief Justice of the Territory of Ne
braska, died at his residence near Belle
uue, February 1st, 1861:
ResoIved, That we have lost by this
melancholy event, an efficient, upright,
learned and able Judge. Taking his po-
sition On the Bench at the outset of liti-
CATION in the Territory, while our statute
law was confused, obscure and unsettled
he determined the numerous questions
presented to him with a general correct
ness and universal impartiallty, which en-
titled him to, as he always received, the
unlimited respect and confidence of the
Bar; and by the presidents he establish
ed, gave to our Jurisprudence a direction,
the wisdom of which experience in future
will only more and more illustrate.
Resolved, That the kindness of heart.
remarkable social qualities, and the uni
form courtesy Of our late Chief Justice,
attached bin to US as our friend.
ResOlUsd, That we tender 10 the widow
and family Of the deceased Our sympath-
les in this, their affection, and that we at
tend the funeral 10 a body.
ResolUed, That the Secretary of this
meeting furnish copies of the above reso-
lutlons 70 all the papers in the Territory
for publication and the Courts be re-
quessed to spread The same On their
journals.

The COMMITTED OF ThIrty.lhTee.

Through the kindness Of our Delegate
IN Congress we are furnished with the
"RepOrts Of the Select Committee Of
th~irty-three, on the disturbed condition Of
the Union" The majority report, made
by the chairman, Mr.. Corwin, is able and
conciliatory. A series of resolutions are
appended which we can but think ought
TO satisfy conservative Union loving men
North or South.
An amendment to the Constitution is
proposed, as follows:
Arr. XII. No amendment Of this Con-
s~titution, having for its object any inter-
ference within the States with the rela-
ton between their citizens and those de-
scribed in section second Of the first arti-
Gle Of the Constitution as "all other
persons" shall originate with any State
that does not recognize that relation with
in its own limits, or shall be valid without
the assent Of every one Of the States
composing the Union.
Also: an act for the admission Of New
Mexico into the United States; also,
a~mendatory acts of the act for the rem
dition of fugitives, in which is proposed
70 rid the act of some Of its very OBJ
~jectionable features, and yet not decrease
but rather increase its efficiency. In ad-
dition to these are eight different minOri-
ty reports, made by ultra and rather ultra
southern and northern men. The fact Of
their being mine different reports, in it.
self leaves but little hope of anything
being accomplished for the country by
Congress. Too many of the members
there now on both sides, have been elect
ed during the very hight of political ex-
element, and are consequently more or
less radical and not disposed TO yield or
cOncede a hairs breadth like Horace
Greely, they think their own notions
"worth more han fifty Unions"
We have considerable faith in the
Peace Commissioners but confess
not so much as we would like to have
What the country just now wants is ar
expression or representation fresh and
directly from the people. The nearer W.
a bring them to act in this matter tht
better for the country. These Governor
and Legislators of the present day, w
have but little faith in.

anxiety incident to close attention to business or
study, are among the numerous cases Of Nervous
Headache. The disOrdersd state Of mind and body
