A Good ThIng.-We have just
learned of a new plan adopted by H. @.
Lett, Of this city, to induce immigration
into this Land District, by which persons
desiring to settle here may become pos.
sessed Of choice lands and clear titles at
Government price. To many Of our
eastern readers this may seem impossi-
bic, considering the rapaeity Of western
Land Agents generally. yet Mr.. Lett
isnol of thai class. Hetells US be can fur
nish lands at the above price, and from
numerous correspondence and transfers
already made by him, we can vouch for
the truth of the statement and the fact
that many have already enjoyed the
benefits Of The system. Mr.. Lett has
taken great pains TO make himself thor
oughly acquainted with the lands in this
District aud those he offers have been
carefully selected and are choice lands.
We can voach for mis- honesty and busi-
ness integrity in any transaction he may
have.

Act. US. Commissioner CHI. Brown has
been several days engaged in the exam
ination Of the case of the U. S., vs.. The
Brownville DisiilIery and the owners
thereof. After a thorough investigation
Of The fraud alleged TO have been com
miued the parties were discharged (;
there being no proof sufficient to sustain
the charges IN information. The indi-
yidual who made the information as the
testimony showed was acluated by a
spirit Of malice and a desire for revenge
upon The men who are clearly innocent.
The prosecution was conducted ty
United. States District Attorney Str!ck-
land, Who eginced a determination to
thoroughly investigate the case, and pro-
tect tie interests of the Governments.
James Haxby. Esq, appeared for the
defense, and exhibited marked ability as
a lawyer, and his management of this
case will add materially 10 bis reputation
as a FIRST class Attorney. His argument
in behalf Of The defense was clear and
forcible, and was an able viDdication Of
The innocence of the defendant, both IN
law aud fact.
The testimony for the defense was
overwhelming in iis vindication of the
parties charged, and we understand thai
several Witnesses in their behalf, were
not examined, as it vas not considered
necessary.
This case has created no little interest
owing to the well known reputation and
integrity Of the parties accused and we
consider it an outrage that such men
should be subject 10 the expense and vex-
ation of a tedious trial in order to graft
fly personal malice rather than farther the
interest of the government.
His honor Charles Brown, before
whom the case was tried. evinced deci.
ced ability as a jurist 10 deciding the va
rious points raised by both the prosecu-
lion and defence which were involved in
the charges Instituted. His decision IN
discharging the parties was certainly
justified by both the Law and the testimo-
ny in the case.-O Omaha Republican, 20.
