We regret and deprccate the
tendency Of many Of our State
journals to indulge in personal
abuse and ridicule of those who
happen to fall under their diSpleaS-
urc. Private character and person
al appearance, are made subjects
of most vindictive assaults aud un.
Sparing ridicule. Against such
weapons used by the press, no
man has any available defence,
and it is unmanly, we could almost
say dishOnorable to WELD them,
besides they often inlict wounds
which if once seen by the offender,
would make him regret forever,
even the necessity, if such exist.
ed, of the blow which in mo-
ment of intense prejudice or pas
sion, he might have struck. As
much as we despise and detest
the political harlequimy and cor
ruption Of the party i'll power, we
would not, through the press, in
dulge IL personal abuse Of any of
its leaders, only 50 far as their
public acts demand the retribution
of an indignant people. The vic.
IatiOn Of this principle, usually,
instead of harming the object
aimed at, recoils upon the party
who strikes the blow and through
him upon the party Of whose prin
ciple he naY be an acknowledged
exponent. If we have occasion to
use the weapons of sarcasm and
ridiculc let us use them legitimate
ly, and not poison their points
with spleen or malice but let us be
satisfied with the keen edge of the
naked steel.
In addition to the taxes already
imposed on our people by the coun.
ty, our corporate authorities,
the Radical wake, have
more than quadruplid the corpor,
alton expenses and taxes. They
have employed two Constables in.
stead of one, employed an over
seer of the streets, an office hither
to unknown, subjected the citizens
a fine Of $3.50 per day for fen
days, or to work the streets that
length oftime and this in lien n
the SSlstreet tax hitherto imposed.
! me ne salary Of tile mayor has been
decreased to $500 the per diem q

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN!
Work Suspended on Every Road in the
State, Except ON the b. 4 NJ.

Last winter the Legislature granted
20, 900 acres of land to each Railroad
Company that could complete ten
miles Of road in the State prior to the
18th of February inst. This was Civ
en- not as a matter of speculation to
the companies, but for the purpose of
assisting them to build railroads in
the State for the benefit of the State.
Work was commenced on siT different
lines, and each of the six lines have
completed, and the Government has
accepted the requisite ten miles necess
sary to draw the &c, 1000 acres of land.
Immediately upon the acceptance Of
the ten miles, work has been stopped
upon every one of the six except the
Burlington and Missouri River Rail-
road in Nebraska, west from Platts-
mouth. We hope that this is not an
indication that the lines are to be
abandoned, and that the 20, 000 acres
of land was the collective point. y
We hope each and every one of these
lines will continue right along just as
though they had not suddenly ac-
CURED a fortune i'm real estate. The
B. & NJ. has over twenty miles now
completed, and wiz soon have their
road to the Capitol of the State

Buildings, 1t is quite likely that a
Joint committee of both Houses will
be appointed TO investigate and report
at the next session Of the Legislature.
Whether there be any foundation for,
or truth in the complaints referred to
or not, it is due all concerned that
such investigation be had, and report
made.
The Legislature have under cOnsid-
Grafton the question of Herd Law.
The law published as one passed at
the last session, and about which
there were doubts, providing for dam
ages in ease of t~respassing Of stock on
lands, on which hedges and fruit trees
were planted, was set aside on SatuT-
day-repealed-last by joint action of
the two Houses. There is now a very
strong disposition to pass a General
Herd Law. The more this subject is
investigated, the more Legislators,
and the people are being convinced
that this is the true policy. There are
but few now, who will undertake to
present reasons, or arguments against
the passage of q Herd Law, other than
those Of an individual character, and
in which individual interests are alone
involved.
1 learn from the State Superinten-
dent Of Common Schools, and from
the State Treasurer, that County
Treasures are Instructed to pay into
the hands Of the County Superintep-
dents, the interest fund now in their
hands, and send up vouchers to the
State Treasurer. This will avoid de-
lay, and save expense in this partic-
ular. There is yet thirteen thousand
dollars of School Funds to be distribu-
ted to the several organized counties in
the State, which will be done on a ba-
sis Of the last reports made by County
Superintendent.
We will return by the way of Cam
den, Beatrice and Tecumseh, taking
a look at the now rapidly developed
portions of our State in Seward, Gage
and Johnson counties, and will "be
careful to observe and preserve" all
that may come within the range of
observation, and report to the readers
of the Advertiser. T.

A friend at Aspinwall in Nemaha
county sends us the following news
items:
A Frenchman Familiarity known as
French Charley, living three miles
below Aspinwall, in Nemaha county,
was found on the morning of the 31st
ult., burned VI in his own honse.-
Charley had been a resident there for
several years, well liked by all who
knew him. He was a bachelor and
living by himself. Circumstances in
dictate foul play. The body had been
wrapped up in a buffalo robe but the
head is missing. AS Charley was
known to always have some money,
the probability is he was murdered
and then his house set on fire to con-
ceal it.
