Major Poore, the well-known journalist, has

We are pleased to learn that the
County Commissioners have needed
our suggestions of yesterday and have
ordered an election the question OF
issuing bonds to raise money to re-
build the bridges washed away in
OtOe County. OF the result of such
election we have no fears, whether
the democratic organ and politicians
favor it or not, and we rejoice in the
prospect of having the cry for more
easy Gee to our market answered.
The business men of Nebraska City
have lost already by the loss of bridges
more money than will be required to
replace them and we have no fears
that the call of the Commissioners will
be responded by a favorable vote from
every one of them, and as Nebraska
City polls three-fourths of the vote of
the county and three-ifths of the
taxes, we feel confident the authority
to issue the bonds will be granted
Nebraska city NeOs.

Gen. Prentiss and Col. King adj,
dressed the &tizens of Brownville al
the Court House on yesterday after.
noon upon the subject of the Railroad
from Quincy to Brownville. The
meeting was a large and an enthusiasts
tic one, and resulted in largely inter
esting u people in that road. Gave
them new hope and fresh courage.
At the conclusion resolutions were
adopted pledging us to assist in can
wasting the county of Atchison, also
to secure from the city of Brownville
a subscription of $40, 600 to-said road,
upon condition it be expended in
Atchison county. Col. Furnas acted
as President of the meeting. The fol-
lowing were the resolutions proposed
at the largest meeting ever held in
B~rOwnville, without a dissenting
voice.:
Resolved, That we will cooperate
with the friends of the O., NJ. & P.
Railroad in Atchison county, and
work to assist in carrying the vote for
the subscription to said road.
ResoLUed, That o. B. Hewett, DR..
Mcpherson, J. s. Church, a. P. Cogs-
well and DR.. Blackburn be appointed
to assist in canyassing Atchison coun-
ty.
ResOLUed, Thatit is the sense of this
meeting that the city of Brownville
should subscribe 800, 900 to the capital
stock of the O., M. & P. Railroad, the
proceeds to be expended in grading,
tying and bridging in Atchison
county.

We have a letterOf recent date from
a business man in Mendoza, Illinois,
making inquiry as to the price of corn
in Nebraska, and if there is any for
sale. The same inquiry was made of
us in Quincy last week, and they were
much astonished to learn of the prob
able quantity and the present price.
The farmers of this county know
that we do not think it good economy
to sell corn at any price but if they
will sell, we would advise them not
to do so at present prices. Corn must
be higher in the spring if not long be-
fore. We consider it ruinous to sell
now for less than fifty cents a bushel.
Many a wagon load CT the best corn
we ever saw, daily stands begging on
our streets for thirty cents a busheI.
Our most successful farmers feed their
corn to cattle and hogs and market
them in st. Louis or Chicago. In
this way they scarcely ever realize
less than one dollar for every bushel
of corn they raise. In this way they
put in their own pockets the large
profits of corn buyers who stand be-
tween the producer and consumer.
The fewer of these the farmers support
the better for themselves and all con-
cerned. A moments reflection and
good planning will pay in agricultural
pursuits as well as in any other cal
ling; and we know of none who so
much need what their labor is truly
worth as the farmer.

We left Brownville on last Tuesday
evening at 6 o'clock P. NJ, took a
sleeping a and the next morning at
7 P. M. walked up in Quincy, having
travelled from Phelps City to to st. Joe
over the st. Joe and G. B. Railroad,
and from st. Joe to Quincy over the
Hannabal and st. Joe Railroad.
During Wednesday we attended a
meeting of the Board CT Directors of
the O., NJ. & P. Railroad Company,
after which we took the cars in the
evening and the next morning found
US in Brownsville, thus spending but
one day from home, andt that in Quin-
cy, the place of our business. For
such convenience the public are in
debted to the energy and good man
agement Of Gen. Craig, the liberal
and accommodating President of the
two roads. This is considered the
cheapest, the safest and the most ex-
peditiousr route to any partof the East,
and the amount of emigration and
travel pouring over this road this fall
to the West is truly wonderful.

LH
We attended the regular meeting of
the O., M. & P. Railroad Company,
held in Quincy last week for the pur-
pose Of actuating for ourself and the
public what the company were doing,
and if possible, what they expected to
do.
The survey is notyet completed.
There are two Surveying corps in
the field at work. One commenced at
w Quincy going west, and the 9th
er at BrOwnviIle going east. The for
mer has run one hundred miles, and
the latter about eighty miles. They
are within sixty-ive miles of each
other. At the present rate they will
complete the survey by the middle of
December, and finish up the office
work by the first of January.
The right of way has been secured
on the eastern line.
The cost of the survey will be not
far from 81 10000. There has been as
sessmentsm mad upon the capital stock
to the amount Of q per cent, besides
subscriptions of counties in Missouri
and the city of Quincy, which are
sufficient to pay for the survey.
The company isnot idle. It has its
plan Of operation, and if successful,
the coming winter, as there is good
reason for expecting they will, it will
be in shape to put the entire line from
Quincy to Brownyille under contract
in the spring.
We are satisfied that they mean
business. We are satisfied they are,
and will push the matter just so fast
as prudence and will warrant
men of sound judgment in doing.
If the counties through which the
road will pass do as well as some have,
and as well as there is hopes that they
may, the road is secured beyond a per-
adventure.
All We now ask is the cooperation
of every man interested-that they be
hopeful and let the company do the
work in their own way.

In 0toe county there is a running
fight between the District and County
Clerk. The County Clerk claiming
to exercise the duties of both offices
and the District Clerk contests his
right to exercise duties of District
Court elerkship. The last Legislature
consolidated these two offices except
ing Nemaha and Douglas counties,
and the clerk of Otoe declares the law
void as being unconstitutional.
