The Times says the wisdom of the step

fession that the military means for sup
pressing the great rebellion have proved
a failure, but simply that there is a point

Mail SWindleS.

The friends Of Judge Kinney are just
now busy in showing up the honest, chris.
tian, loyal qualities of that gentleman.
And as these same gentleman are loud
and long in reference to small contracts, y
Sc, we propose to contribute an item in
that line.
This same Judge John F. Kinney
then of Nebraska, now of Utah-in 1857
in connection with other parties obtained
from the General Government a contract
for carrying a weekly mail from Brown
vile to Fort Kearney. The mail was
not carried over that route over a half
dozen times. In fact we cannot find any
one who knows of its being carried more
than once. At that time contractors were
allowed 10 enter as mail stations n Sec
ton of land at every twenty miles. The
distance from Brownville to Fort Kearney
was received in that contract at $40 miles,
Kinney received SeUen thousand sac hun
dred and eighty acres of land for carry
ing sir times. There is a land specula-
ton for you. How do the 'honest set
lers along the line from here to Fort
KearneY like it?
How this could be done we leave our
readers themselves to conjecture. By
some "honest christian" maneuver, we
suppose. That the above are facts, how
ever, we refer to any and every settler
Of this place and those along the contem.
plated route at the time, and the Land
Office Books in Brownville.
But the matter does not even stop there.
Kinney entered these mail stations with
Land Warrants borrowed from the rebel
w. R. w. Cobb, Of Alabama, and was
to deed to Cobb part of the lands thus
entered, as a consideration for the use of
the warrants. In the year 1861, when
the rebellion broke out, John F. Kinney
decided all these lands, particularly those
belonging to the rebel Cobb, to his SON
in-law, Julian Metcalfe. For what pur-
pose, think you, honest, loyal Nebras-
kians! For what purpose were these
lands thus decided? Whynot deed them
to Cobb, as originally agreed upon!-
Then the General Government could have
confscated them as rebel property now
they are shielded from the operations of
the confscating act. Could there have
been any other object in view than TO
protect rebel property! We ask honest
to look these facts square in the
face.
