A Strange Case.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. June 27.-Thomas
Langsdale a resident of this city for sew
eral years, was arrested last night on re-
quistisn from the Governor for The alleged
murder of Colonel John Lillard, in Gal
latin County, KY, in 1866, she result of a
feud brought on by the war of secession.
MIR. Langsdafe during that period remain
ing % Union man and the other Joining the
confederate army. After the ending OF the
war, the Colonel threatened Langsdale' s
life, and the two met at Warsaw in that
county on election day with fatal resal:,
the Colonel being instantly killed.
Langsdale fled to this State. A reward
OF $ 900 was offered for his arrest, and
during previous gubernatorial admins
| trations several attempts to obtain re-
QUESTION were made and Langsdale was
Drought before Judge Howland at 8
o'clock last night on writ of habeas cor
pls obtained by his attorneys. The court
| found no retlrn upon the writ showing
by what right the chief of police detained
the prisoner, holding that arrests upon
| a requisition could only be made by a
sheriff. The judge gave until 8 O'clock
this morning to make a proper return on
the writ, and declined to hold the prisoner
nnder bonds until that time, and Langs-
dale was allowed to go to his home dur
ing the night. Upon he opening of the
court this morning Judge Howland asked
II the prosecution was ready to make re-
turn OF the writ, and was answered on
part Of the KeDtucians by ATTORNEY
Foster that they were ready but the pris-
oner was not to be found. The court
then asked for the writ, and received in
return that they did not know where it
was, whefeupOn writ of attachment was
orderd to be issued against the Chief of
Police to show cause why he should not
be arraigned for contempt of court. An
hour later a 5ailiff made his appearance
with the illustrious prisoner. The Chief
OF Police, submitted as an excuse a sworn
affidavit, the chief point of which is that
he is now advised that he had no power
to make the arrest, and that Langsdale
was net now in his custody. The petit
toner foi the writ of habeaS corpus also
filed an affidavit for its dismissal The
court held that while he could take no ac-
ton on the habeas corpus case it having
been dismissed by the petitioner, still it
was clear that the process of the court had
been interfered with, and there were in
dications of a collusion, and he would,
therefore, fine the Chief of Police $25
and costs. Another question was raised
by the Kentuckian's attorneys, whether
the petitioners had right to this sum-
mary dismissal, but the court held differ
emily and claimed he had nothing further
to do with the business. The Chief paid
his fine, and expressed regret that the
court should have held there was collu-
sion in the non return of this writ After
the parties withdrew from the court, it
was recommended to the Kentuckians
that they procure a requsition from the
Governor, making it necessary for the
Sheriff to arrest and to hold Thomas
Langsdale, but this advice had not been
acted on at the latest accounts.

missouri Compromise introduced by
Henry Clay, was agreed on. ''Tha
Slavery should be allowed in Missouri
and all States that might be formed
South oflatitude 36 deg 80 min, which
parallel forms its Southern boundary-but
should be forbidden in the territory North
of this line and west of Missouri. This
Compromise was generally acceptable,
it was passed by Congress, and remained
in force till 1856.
In the year 1850 the great body of the
inhabitants in the colonies were either
English or their descendants. But many
of their settlers came from other nations
OF Europe. The Dutch were numerous
in New York; the French were found in
New York and South Carolina; the
Scotch and Irish, in East Jersey the Car
olinas, and Georgia; the Swedes. on the
Delaware; the Germans, in Pennsylvania
and North Carolina At the same time
there was great variety of religious be-
lief in the colonies. The Church of En-
gland was supreme in Virginia and the
Carolinas. The Catholics settled in
Maryland; ihe Puritans, in New England ;
the Quakers in Pennsylvania, Delaware
and West Jersey; the Presbyterians, in
East Jersey; the Dutch Reformed Church
in New York; and the French Hugenots,
in New York and South Carolina.
The New England colonies were the
most active and careful to provide for the
education of the young. Under the
Dutch rule, New Amsterdam had its
school-master almost as soon as its min
lister. The Quakers of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey established schools at an
early day. Virginia and Maryland at first
moved very slowly in this work; but
toward the close of the 18th century
schools began to multiply.
Three forms of government prevailed
in the colonies; the Proprietary, the
Charter, and the Regal or P,00ineial.
There were also distinction OF Glasses
In Virginia were the Planters or great
estates, the Patroaas, in New York, and
the Proprietors in New Jersey. In New
England the land was divided into small
farms.

No one will question the right of

their nationa lity, and who will pleGye
themselves to put an end, if possible, TO
all this miserable twadde aoout particu-

ment was not established to perpet-

those who come here from The Old
World, nor to keep up national distinc

of all nationaiitles into one The Irish

WHO are the Nebraskians?
BY PROF. j. d. BUTLER.
LINCOLN. April. 1872

LINCOLN, April, 1879
One-scventh of our United States pop
ulation is of foreign birth: namely, five and
half millions, among thirty eight and q
halt: in exact figures, 5,567 7,546, among
Sc, ,55S, 81.
The foreign element is much largest al
the North, but its distribution is almost
Identical in the newer and older States
on the Atlantic and on the Missouri
Thus the foreign percentage in both Mas
sachusets, thea oldest State, and in Ne
braska, the youngest, is in both States
we'll nigh the same, namely, one fourth.
In the former, 353, 129, in total of ,457,.
351 IN the latter, 30, 749 in total of 122,
693. Yet the quality of foreigners West
is no doubt better than East. Those
who have least of puck and purse, lipger
along the Atlantic as drudges, or even
paupers or worse. But those better and
betterotf, go West, become land-lo and
lords OF the the land. The first German
Governor was elected in state on the
Mississippi
Of the 80, 74S, foreign born Nebraskians,
those originating in the British Empire
are the most numerous, being 1921.
Next, and almost as numerous, is the
Teutonic element, amounting to 12,O26.
The Scandinavians are almost 1000 and
the Sclavonians half as many. Of the
Nebraskians then three fourths are native
American, while of the remainder, two
fitths are OF British origin. The English
percentage is larger in Ne0raska than in
amy other State except three
These figures prove that the settlers in
the United States will form one homoge-
neous people, and that English speaking
and holding mainly to English institu-
tions.
As they were in the IegiBning, so they
are now, and ever shall be IN soeeuIe sac
euIoraan! Still among the 12,304, home-
steaders and the IL, AT pre-emptors who.
before the close Of 1872, had filed their
claims to land in the Lincoln office, the
names betoken very various nationalities.
So do those of the 1926 purchasers who
had bought 294, ,625 acres ofthe Burlington
& Missouri River Railroad on ten Years
credit and six per cent int terest. A new
impulse has just been given to railroad
sales, because TN those made since 1872.
