closing every outlet they commenced to

up in your tub. II there are any nice diaries in
your vicinity put up in your tub you may pay

don't want any Summer diaries at any price in

It will be seen by reference to one
Of the tables in the present issue, that
the Railroads running through eoun-
ties in the State, are assessed for taxa
ton at the rate Of $1,000 per mile.
Now we will suppose that the Trunk
Road was completed through Nemaha
county, the estimated length Of which
is thirty-three miles, and the east and
west road, the length of which is esti-
mated at twenty-five miles. We will
then have IS miles of road at SIG OO
per mile, makingin all S9S6, 600, which
iftaxed, asi it will be, as other property
is taxed, will yield to the county, rev.
enue for all purposes the sum Of S20,-
$50. If we give to both roads what is
now contemplated, the sum of $780,
600, drawing eight per cent. interest,
the county will be required to pay an
nually, to meet the interest, to the
bond holders, the sum Of$2O, 600. That
is, the roads themselves would pay
50 ,S4O more into the County Treasury
annually than the county would be re-
quired to pay out, which said last
sum, ifapplied annually in liquidation
of the bonds, the county would, in
twenty years, pay off the principal
and interest of the bonds by the Ordi-
nary taxes receivedupon the property
of the road. So that the project of
giving $3.50, 600 to two roads amounts
to nothing more than to agree not to
tax the two roads for twenty years.
We believe this to be perfectly true,
that the county could give these two
roads $3.50, 600 now, and pay the same
in twenty years, without its even in
creasing the tax of a single resident
by a single mile.
These facts are plain, and you have
but to refer to the assessments Of
Douglas, Sarpy, Buffalo, Colfax, &c,
to be convinced. Norman would oppose
these appropriation if he believed the
above facts, because every object in
ducing OPPOSITION would be removed,
aud men at this enlightened age are
not agOing to be controlled by envy, or
prejudice as against the public good.

We attended the great sale of lots in
the City of Lincoln on last Thursday
and Friday. There were about
three hundred persons to invest in
lands and town property. These per-
sons represented capital at their i'm
mediate disposal estimated at about
81, OO0, 600. The sales commenced brisk
and continued active and upward for
the two days named, in which time
$3.50 0 worth Of lots were disposed of.
The range being from two to seven
hundred dollars per lot, some business
lots selling by private parties at $1,000
each. The vast crowd of men and
boys, horses and carriages, followed
the auctioneer from lot to lot as the
sale progressed, and the bidding was
very spirited, and as the Reverend
Professor Miller, of Cass County,
would cry "I'n see the amount five
better" or, am goive better" those
present recOned the Elder held a good
hand.
The monies arising from these sales
are to be used to build the University
building and the Insane Asylum at
Lincoln, forwhieh provision was made
last winter.
The Improvements in and around
Lincoln made since last winter are
not extensive. A few buildings have
been commenced, and those on which
work was suspended by the cold wealth
er last fall and winter are now COM
pleted.
AT the invitation Of the Auditor and
Secretary quite a numberw were provid-
ed with livery teams and drove to the
Salt Works Of Messrs. Tichener &
Griffin, a distance of near two miles
from the town. The basin has the APP
pearance at a distance of being cover
ed with water but on a nearer approach
it is found to be nothing but black mud
for the breadth and length of over a
section of land. AT nine o'clock at
night the brine flows over this mud TO.
the depth of from two to ten inches,
and during the day it settles away out
of sight. The prOprietOrs of the Salt
Works by o system Of bitches and
dams succeed in combining several
acres of brine during the day time
above the ground in a prepared basin,
which, being not over three or four
inches deep, is subject to evaporation
by the sun. When first run into this
prepared basin the brine contains only
about thirty per cent Of salt, by night
the evaporation has been SO strong
that Salt is deposited at the bottom.
The brine being then more than twice
as strong as at first is pumped up int
a large tank and from thence to the
large boilers where, by a few hours it
is manufactured into the finest Salt
We ever saw. The want Of railroad
transportation alone prevents the Lin
ce'n Salt Works from supplying the
entire west with Salt. The B. & M.

Home Industry.

Some of the business men of this
State are in the habit of ordering their
printing by large quantities in the
East and small quantities at home,
and then seem astOnished because
they have to pay more prOpOrtionate-
ly for the small orders at home than
they do for the large ones East.
Thousands Of dollars per year sent
East for printing that might Just as
well be executed here. We have lust
as good printers in Omaha as can be
found East and can do work lust as
cheap provided the work is given to
us in as large orders.
For instance: one of our merchants
or Bankers viii require say $500 worth
of printing per year-he visits the
East twice a year and between each
visit he notes down the number of
cards, letter heads, bill heads, &C.,
&c, he viii need during each coming
six months, being Ucry careful to send
no oCOrE to the office Of his oJca city that
he can do eOithOaa.
Upon his arrival in some Eastern
city he gives a large and for the very
reason that the order was a IarQe n
and the order at home was very small
he Is able to show a little difference
IN favor Of the eastern work in price
and nothing else.
Had he taken dHOf his work I'm large
quantities to any office In this city he
could have had it at Just rs low prices
and the money would return to him
in the way of trade.-R9pubhcdn.

BrOwnville is now offered an Eas-
tern Railroad connection by men ear
nest in their efforts and untiring i'm
their zeal to build a road from Quincy,
in Illinois, to some point near TT.
Kearney, in Nebraska. The business
men Of Quincy see that such a road is
an absolute necessity to supply her
growing wants, and must be built, not
sooae time hence, but now. It is well
for RrOwnville and the intermediate
points between it and Quincy, that
they have an ally Of so large mOnied
Influence, and one so deeply impressed
with the absolute necessity that such
q road should be built as they have in
the municipality Of Quincy. If the
energy, character and public spirit of
the business men Of Quincy are TO be
measured by what we see in Judge
Adams and Col. King, then are we
assured that the road will be speedily
constructed. However much the
wants Of the settlements this side Of
the Mississippi River may demand
Railroad outlets. Still the road could
not be built Immediately. We have
hoped much from the NJ. & NJ. r. A.
l.. r. r., but from the very fact Of its
circuitous route, and its heavy grades,
e deprives itself Of that assistance east
of the river which any road WestmUst
have 10 secure success. So we grasp
at once hold Of the straighter line
which secures the influence we most
need aud must have to build the road.
Now we really hope the people of
Nemaha county viii not be backward.
The Trunk read is Offered aus and a
road East and West is offered us. Let
there be no dividing counsel. We are
as confident as we live that the defeat
of the n Is the defeat Of the other,
both must go along together. Nema-
Ia county can at least tender 100000
20 each and be the richer for it when
both are finished, These are splen-
did opportunities and let Us aveiI our
selves Of all the benefits they tender
ia.

Judge Adams and Col. King, Of
Quincy, visited our city on last Satur-
day as a committee appointed by the
business men of that city, charged
with the important duties of discuss
ing with our people the feasibility OF
organizing a company to build a road
from Quincy to some point on the
Missouri river in a direct line with
Ft. Kearney, A meeting was called
and was addressed in a very earnest
manner 10y both the gentlemen, the
minutes of which we print elsewhere.
The meeting was large and enthusi-
astic, and responded to the gentlemen
i'm a very cordial spirit. Committees
have been appointed which are now
earnestly at work to advance the OBJ
jects and aims which these gentlemen
said were necessary to put the ball in
motion. We hope that great good
may be the result. A good east and
westroad through our county has been
a scheme for which we have work
ed hard and late and are willing and
anxious to work more earnestly than
ever, convinced as we are that it is so
immensely for the public good. And
in this grond project we trust that we
will have the cooperation and undivi-
ded assistance of every earnest man in
our county.

RockpOrt is still progressing. We
noticed in our recent visit there, many
new houses; among the more note
worthy is the NJ. E. Church, which is
nearly finished, and the German Lu-
thern Church which is well under
way. The contract has been recently
let for building, in RockpOrt, a Union
School building for the accommoda-
ton of the advanced scholars in the
township. The cost of this building,
when finished, is estimated at $4,000.
The ROckpOrt House, by D.. Snyder,
is n of the best kept houses in the
west. Guests who stop there r we'll
cared for at a reasonable charge, and
leave the house with a happy remem-
brance of ROckport. A well conduct
ed hotel does more to favorably i'm
press the traveller with the vilIagean
surrounding country where he tOmpo-
nrily stops, than most people imag-
inc.
Although trade is somewhat dull at
this season of the year, yet we found
Messrs. Hunter & Hurst, Messrs.
Buckham, Shelters & Co., Messrs.
Deuser Bros. and Messrs L. &. ].
Saunders doing a good business.
MI. McCreery has full swing in the
Journal Office, as Mr.. DOpf has full
outside business. Mr.. McCreery wa
busy setting up the delinquent tax
list.
We found Durfee & McKillop busy
in their Land Office, but not so much
SO but that they could find time to de-
vote to Railroad matters.

No., on their Railroad mission. The
people at and neal Phelps City, are
all alive to the importance of immedi-
ate and direct railroad connection
with Quincy.
George Harmon, one Of the ablest
and Oldest farmers in Atchison cOun-
~, informed us that it would be easier
to carry a vote for $500, 600 to the rail-
road nov, than it was a hundred
thousand a year ago. Since that time,
the st. Joe &C. B. Road has been
built through the county, and has de-
mOnstrated practically the correct
ness of the fgRres made during
the campaign, which secured a favor
able vote one year ago in that county.

Monday evening of this week. DR..
Dunn was called to the Chair. The
meeting was addressed by the gentle
