port that highly accom- lished, inteli
gent. and beautiful young lady, the
daughter of one Of Omaha7s oldest and
most respected citizens, had left her

The supposed destination of the run.
Always is some point on the Mississippi.
and 1t is hoped the Doctor will make the
young lady all the reparation in his
power for thus clandestinelv taking her
. from the protection of loving parents,
by making her his lawful wife at the
earliest opportunity. Should be not do

fairly under way, he will no doubt dis
cover that the Pacific Railroad docs start
from the western side of Iowa, instead OF
the eastern side of Nebraska, and that
the eastern terminus of the road wiH be
within the corporate limits Of Council

it in his order Whether we are "a

manly contemporary alleges, for asserting
what every body knows to be true, and
what the President states i'll terms "a

question of opinion between BABBIrr'
and the public; but time will settle the
matter, for time makes queer changes in
the opinions of our venerable neighbor.
Only few years ago he WAS an Abolition
lecturer in Tazewell county, Illinois-ex-
patiating upon the barbarities Of slavery,
advocating the rights of the down
trodden African to social and political
equality working as earnestly and
diligently for the niger as he is to-day
for jeff. Davis If he can thus change
eTom a rabid AboIitionist and amalgama-
zionist. to an ultra pro-slayery Union
hater, in the course of a few years, II
would not be at all remarkable If his
affections should some day become alien
ated from Omaha, and the interests OF
Council Bluffs claim his attention.

The Importance 10 the whole country

terpfise.
Ihavs always doubted. ho#eyer, the
expediency OF the provision IN the act OF
1869 authorizing the issue Of United
States thirty years bonds, bearing g per
cent. semkannual interest. payable in
currency. Such an issue would heapt.
think, to impair the credit of the gov
eminent, while the bonds them selves
would not be enkily negotiable. US no
holder could tell what would be the value
of his semisannnaa intefesI.I think,
| moreover, that when the gnvernment
lends its credit, it should be in tbs form
of guaranty of the payment OF the in
terest on the bonds OF company rather
than by the direct issue Of its own
bonds Such guaranty affects less trl-
| favorabfy the credit of the government,
Iinasmuch as the bonds issued do not
swell THE apparent magnitude of ITS
debt. concur, therefore. fully in the
opinion iutirnated by your question:
"Why not provide for the issuance by
the grantees Of their own bonds, pre-
scribing the amount. guaranteeing pay
ment Of the interest, requiring registry
in the treasury department, and com
polling the creation Of sinking fund
| from the income of the road to secure
the payment of the interest and princi-
pal of the bonds" Such provision
would, in my Judgment, be both wise
| and Just. ... <:

PORTRAITS OF SECRETARY CHASE AND
QTuERs.-we have had with us, for some
months past, ohio's gifted artist, Miss O. l..
Ransom, who has painted the portraits of sec-
retary Chase, Gen. Garfield, and others. The
first two can be seen at the Treasury Depart
ment. miss II. Is employed TO paint a full
length portrait of the Secretary, TO be placed In
the capital at Columbus, Ohio. The one now
completed Is half size and the large one is to
be taken from this.
The portraits OF Miss Ransom are reparka.
Bile for their natural, llfe-like appearance. She
has the peculiar faculty OF almost causing one
to believe while examining them that they are
endowed with life and animation. Her por.
traits of the lamented Glddlngs, of Governor
Brough, Professor Kirkland, Secretary Chase,
and General Garfield, entitle her to high rank
as an American artist. The press OF Ohio has
spoken In exalted terms Of her merits as an
artist, and her many virtues and amiable char,
