Advertiser THE Senatorial contest
is over, and Mr.. Upton of your place
is reelected. 1t is a glorious vfeterY;
one over which he and his friends
have reason to feel proud, not because
his opponents were beatent for they
were all good and true men, but be-
cause Greeley'san INT PeabOdy's friends
have been pleased to,characterize him
as an accident, " andprophesied that
our people would repudiate' him He
has been, szdorseG; and the stain of
"acciGency'' wiped out. The fight
was a fair, square stand up one, and so
far as opponents were concerned, Mr..
TiptOn's success was "not because we
loved Ceaser less; but that we loved
Rome more" Gov. Butler and Mr..
Marquette, really the only other conf
petitOrs, deserve tie good win Of our
people. Mr.. Butler has made q model
Governor, and the people have hand
somely endorsed his; official career.
Mr.. MarqHett is ar able and eloquent
man, and made many friends during
the late canvass, in which he-eoRsPic-
uously participated.
The "next thing in order'' is the
Railroad question. This will be the
most important question to be disposed
Of by the Legislature. Mr.. Reavis,
Senator from Nemaha, Richardson
and johnson, has introduced a Bill
providing for the disposition of the
public Lands tOaid internal improves
ments. 1t provides for the constrOc-
ton Of Railroads, and in its provisions
is equally ~applicabletO any and allen
terprises of that nature. The princi-
pal points are that it gives 1000 acres
of land per mile, when ten consecu-
tive miles shall have been graded,
bridged, cufverted, and tied, ready to
lay down the iron that fifty miles
shall be completed and in running er-
der within three years from date of
passage of bill, under forfeiture of all
lands, property and franchise; that
no road shall receive over one hun
dred thousand acres of land from the
State. The roadsnamed a. being en-
titled to the provisions of the Bill will
most likely be the st. Louis and Ne
brsskGTruHl0; Great emahaValley
Omaha and Sioux. city; Omaha and
Southwestern; Sioux City and Co.
lumbus and the Midland Pacific.
Let me say a word about the Lin
coin Hotel. Your Editor, Mr.. Church,
has had no. ''experiencen' at the At
aOOOd House, and consequently can
not give you details of facts concern
ing it. The 'tAtwoO6 Heusen is the
name, and it is kept by one N. At
wood. Where he is from, mo one
knows, no one cares.p The house is
one Of the neatest, most convenient,
and best constructed, good sized Hotel
buildings 1 ever saw, and ought to be
kept by some one who "knows how
to.keep a Hotel" But 1t is not, 1 am
sorry to say, at present. The table,
comparatively speaking, has nothing
on it, and what there is is miserably
served. The landlord is q poking,
dried up, soJf5- cross old chap who
never has a pleasant word; fora ,guest.
Half the time, he IAN be found stuck
down in a chair close TO the stove,
chewing his cud, silently and medi-
tatingly, not saying a word to any
one, while guests around are inc swami
of seats and attention. His charges
are enormous, and fiuetuating, some
are charged, eight, twelve, fifteen and
twenty dollars per week Guests are
charged for wear Of carpets, floors and
said to be oecasiOned by calling
friends, not guests of the house. If
any one stops at the Atwood while
Atwood keeps it., they viii wish
they had gone to 1.-THE other hotel"
LiDcOl is a most thriving and beauti-
full town; it's inhabitants are enterpri-
sing; it has a number one Hotel bull
ding, aud ought to have agOOd land
