about to follow in the footsteps of its
predecessors the gentleman from DOUG
las accused the gentleman from Nemaha
with representing the bill to be a dam
bill. The gentleman said, it was only a

been mentioned before the dam" Just

Washington with wanting TO dam the

tlemaR said the county was damned al
ready, and he did not see the use of
daming it any further. Reference, of
course, to no execrations against the

ally rocked to sleep for this session and

AS soon as his health will permit it is to

The citizens of johnson county, we
learn. have already raised an amount, by
subscription, nearly equal to the sum
which it is proposed to loan them. To
build a good substantial bridge across the
Big Nemaha will cost between $4,000
and $1,000. The benefit t0this county
which will result from it, is sufficient to
warrant us in advocating the loan, and
to warrant our Commissioners-if au-
thOrized by Legislative enaclment-to
make il. Heretofore all trains going from
this county to Fort Kearney or farther
have had TO go days journey out Of
their way to get on the Nebraska City
road. This has made the price ef Corn
and other pr duce higher the nearer 1t
might be TO that road. To illustrated by
one instance DR.. Mcpherson had. last
spring, 1000 bushels of Corn. for which
he was offered Is cents more than be re-
ceived if he would deliver it upon the
road leading from Nebraska City; here
was a clear loss, to one man, of $50
and we know that, last spring, while
the price of Corn, west and south of this
city, was from -00c to 81, farmers above
Peru readily sold their Corn for form 81
10 S1,l5 per bushel. Freighters and
Contractors, who do their shipping with
oxen, know too we'll the value of time
TO pay as much for Corn n days travel
farther from its destination as they would
were it that much nearer. If this bridge
at Tecumseh is bnilt-and it must be-
this difficulty will be entirely overcome ;
our roads will be as direct and near and
as good as from any point on the river.
A direct Western outlet must be had (;
the profit on what is shipped East is as
"a drop in The bucket' compared with
what goes West; and no one, with the
slightest knowledge Of the facts, can help
but see its advantages TO the whole
county. We hope our Delegates in the
will do their utmost to pass
the act required, and, in the meantime,
the citizens Of the county would do well
TO express themselves upon this subject
by petitions or otherwise.

Few of our farmers doubt the benefit
of a Herd Law for the back counties,
where timber is scarcer than along the
Missouri and its tributaries; and none
with whom we have conversed, think it
would be advisable or profitable to have
such a law in fierce in this county. We
understand. from Omaha, that the Gene
raj Herd Law, will be killed in the
House, even should 1t pass the Council.
A special Bill may be introduced fer this
County, as a majority Of the members
from Nemaha are in favor of such a law.
1t would be well, we think, for the resi-
dents in each Precinct to show, by petit
tiOn, their opinion and instruction to their
representative in Omaha; this should be
