The Legislature of Nebraska was
very knowingly informed by several
scientific but very di~senterested gentle
tlemen last winter, that the salt ba-
sins near the capital were of but little
value, and that the water contained
but o small amount Of salt, and that
the State ought to give away many
sections of very valuable lands as an
inducementto capitalists to sink wells,
&C., and ascertain if paying salt water
could be obtained within a thousand
feet of the surface. Upon such terms
a host Of cormorants were willing to
take leases upon portions Of the basin,
running for thirty years and upwards.
All ofthese sehemeTs had their friends,
and advocaters In both Houses, but
not a sufficient number to suspend
the rules and pass their acts out Ofthe
general course of business. So failure
was the consequence. Mr., Tichner,
the first lessee obtained a lease with
out asking aid to develop, and we are
now informed that Ju1 salt works are
very valuable, a fact which was we'll
known at TIE time By aIF who had in
.v~estfgated the matter. We believed
the1A and are still Of the opinion that
the ard given to the railroad cOmpa-
mics was the best and most efficient
means OF ~dsYsiopfag the salt interest
of the State of any proposed, and so

our convictions, Notwithstanding the

While out in the country to-day, we
observed that farmers were busy,
some fms hing up wheat sowing, and
others scat tering the oats. The ground
is fa fine Q Ondition, some few fields of
wheat just begin to reflect that green
shade whic h makes spring so delight

the seed dI ills and others the broad
cast sewers. Machinery of one kind
or oShsr is nsed from the bin to the
field, and fr ON the field back to bin
again. Not so much to lessen the
number of ma nds employed, but to in
crease the breadth of cultivated land.
The~farners of Men laha are intelligent
and eHterpristug, and in the use of the

Ltivity and energy in the prosecution
of their calling, they yield the palm

The Nebraska City papers contain
an account of the murder of Richard
Hill, the engineer of the Ferry Boat,
by VIM. BeboutSthe acting pilot. The
boat was tied up on the Iowa side for
the night. A man on horseback
wished to be ferried over. Hill ordered
the firing up ready for the trip; Be
bout replied that the fireman could
not do 80 unless over his dead body.
A few words followed from Hill, when
Bebout drew a revolver and shot at
Hill without effect. He shot off a
second barrel which took effect near
the right nipple, and a third shot fol-
lowed, hitting Bebout near the same
place. Hill then pushed Bebout into
the river, and then, on making a few
steps, said he was dying. He was
dead before they reached the house.
Bebout got into a skiff and went down
the river; parties pursuing him, cap
tured him, and we learn that he is
now in the Sidney Jail, Iowa.
