The Nebraska City News sin a word"
to US. in reference to an article which
appeared in our issue of Aug. 31st, con-
trasting its position in and out of OtOe
county, denies the authorship of the first
paragraph quoted, IN which occurs this
sentence:
LET 1t ov all means be a convention
of he people, and Instructed to take the
interest Of the people into adcissment."
The extract. we believe, we found IN
the Omaha Republican quoted to the
News ; yet, the News denies it, and as
we published the article, we also give its
denial. Had we for a moment noticed
the liberal spirit shown in the above
sentence, we would never have credited

We have suggested to the Union Con
vention of this county that il instruct its
nominees, if elected, to do their utmost
10 pass a reasonable, if not a liberal, fee
bill. This. we believe, should be done
n Justice 10 the officers they nominate.
We do not ask the Convention to "go 1t
blind " bat viii give facts which have
the come to our knowledge, believing that
niggaFdly economy of our Laws is pot
thoroughly understood by the people, and
will not be continued with their consent:
II is part of the duty of the County
Clerk to make the Tax Lists and Dupli-
Gates. To do this requires about 200
days study work, for which he is allowed
by our present law $500 a day this
and the other duties of the Office are
more than be can do justice to, and our
Clerk, VIM. H. Hoover, has had TO hire
this Gone. aud, for which, we know, he
has had to pay out S4.OO a day thus
leaving him a net profit of 500 out Of
pocket On this one item alone. This loss
is in addition to the time lost in arrang
ing and experimenting the work.
The fees Of Treasurer were, in the
Flush Times before the war, ten
per cent. on all moneys collect. We
learn that in 1857 the amount to collect
was about Sc, 900, making the Tressurers
salary near $500 a year. Now, our
Treasurer, Jonas Hacker, has about S23,-
600 TO collect and disborse and his salary
amounts to ab.ut S450 a year.
The Sheriffs fees are not what they
ought 10 be considering everything. An
incident illustrating how well his fees
pay came TO our knowledge recently : He
had a Writ TO serve in the back part of
the county, he had to hire a horse, was
out nearly WI days; his fees altogether
came to $3.50. while his horse hire cos,

We have lately received many letters
from persons desiring to emigrate to this
section of country, the main query be-.
ing about timber, water and soil. The
impression that timber is very scarce in
Nebraska, seems 10 be very prevalent in
the minds Of eastern folks, and, we mu t
admit, is correct with regard TO the back
portion of the Territory. bu, should not

counties comprising this District.
The largest stream which waters this
county is the Little Newaha, the South

corner of the county, watering one town.
ship, the main slream passes through from
the northwest TO nearly the southeast
corner of the county, where it enters the
Missouri river. By its meauderings IT
must be nearly fifty miles in length in
side this county. Several Mills are al
ready in operation on this str and
there are many good sites yet unoccu-
pied. The bottoms on both sides of this
river are heavily timber.d for from one
half to two-miles from its banks, and. if
we may Judge from the quantity and quail
~ Of corn raised on these bottoms, the
toil is as rich as can be found anywhere.
According to the Governments Plats
there are a, least 5000 acres of timber
upon this stream alone, inside this county
There are t%weniy-four tributary creeks
~emptying into The Nemaha, branching
out from three to ten miles, each fed by
Epring, and nearly all being running

these creeks have considerable timber,
and the larger ones good Mil Sites.
