THE WESTWARD EXODUS. ITS
MAIN SPRING.
BY PROF. J. d. BUTLER.
LINCOLN. Nebraska. 1879.

LINCOLN. Nebraska. 1873.
The West draws new settlers into
its capacisus bosom by its fertility,
its free homesteads, aud its Infinite
demand for labor, whether skilled or
unskilled. 1t also drives them to
take shelter under its wings by com.
petition.
New England once raised her own
bread-stuHs, but she has long ceased
so to do. The produce of richer and
cheaper lands competed with her farm
ers, till it proved more than match
for their skill aud energy. Many of
them then turned to manufacturers,
bu. still larger number were hence
driven west. They made their own
sum of the cheap acres there, and en-.
listed in the ranks of the agricultural
army which had vanquished them.
Thus the West is constantly acting
on the East with an increasing weight,
and that Of larger and logger level.
Here is one secret Of its RAPID growth.
II is forty years since the hrst white

Or twelve hundred thousand to day,
about one. half were born in some
moro eastern State. Foreign centres
being further than the Atlantic slope,
frem the West have hitherto felt its
influence less-but even they were
long since driven as we'll as drawn to
send their sons thither. The Influence
exerted upon them has been Of the
same nature with that which has
brought Westward 50 many from sur
own East. Hence one,sixth of the
population Of Iowa has come into 1t
from beyond the Atlantic.
Not one sixth of the population Of
Nebraska were born within its limits.
More than twenty-five thousand home
steaders and pre-emdtsrs have filed
claims in the land.office at Lincoln, a
capital not yet six years old d:-aad

three thousand settlers have bought

Which Jones is a county of red hills and
stones,
And he livod pretty much by getting OF
loans,
And his mules were nothing but skin and
bone,
Aud his hogs were as fat as his corn
bread pones,
And ho had bout thousand acros Of
land.
This man--and his name it was also
Jones'
lilo swore that he'd leave them old red
hills and stones,
For he couldn't make nothin' but yellow
ish cotton.
And little Of that, and his fences were rot
ton,
And what little corn he had, that was
boughten,
And he couldn't get living from tho
land.
And tho longer he swore the madder he
got,'
And he rose and he walked TO the stable
lot.
And he halloed to Tom to come here and
hitch,
For to emigrato somewhere where land
was rich,
and to quit raising sock-burrs, thistles
and sich,
An wasting their time on barren land.
So him and Tom they hitched up the
mules.

fools
That 'ud stay in Georgia their lifetime out,
Just scratching a living whom all of them
Get places in Texas, where cotton would
sprout
BY the tine you could plant in the land.
And he drove by a house where 8 man
named Brown
Was living, not fai from the edge of the
town,
And bantered Drow wh for to buy his place,
And said that soeing rs money was skace,
And seeing as sheritis were hard to face,
Two dollars an acre would get the land.
They closed at dollar and fifty cents,
And Jones then bought him wagon and
tents,
And loaded his corn, and his women, and
truck,
And moved TO Texas which il took
His entire pile, with the best of luck,
To get there and get him little land.
But Brown moved out ON the old Jonos
farm.
And he rolled up his brosehes and barred
his arm,
And picked all the rocks from of n the
ground,
And he rooted it up and plowed it down,
And sowed his corn and wheat in the
land.
Five years glid by, and Brown. one day,
(Who hadgot so fat that he wouldn't wsigh)
Was sitting down, sorter lazily.
To the grandest dihnor you ever did see,
When one the children jumped Oh his knee
And says. "Yan's Jones, which you bot
his land"
And there was Jones, standing out at the
fence,
Aud he hadn't no wagon. nor mules, nor
tents,
For he had left Texas afoot, and ceme
To Georgia to see If he couldn't get some
Employment, and he was looking as hum
Bic as if he had never owned any land.
But Brown he asked him in, and he sot
Him down to his victuals, smoking hot,
And when he had filed himself and the
floor,
Brown looked at him sharp and oss and
swore

FL Dorado South Mine.

We extract the following from the
Rereiue Of June ID regarding the
above mine, which Is situate In Bel
mont District:
..1he Ell Dorado South Consolidated
Company are rushing things. The
4OO.foot level north Is turning out
splendid sulphurets and the same level
south Is giving up Its tons of black
metal, These two characters of ore
are worked together and the mill assay
averages $3.50 per ton. The mill Is OF
90 stamps and Is kept running without
cessation day and night. All the
spacious dumps are filled with the rich
Ores of the mine, and the fact Is that
tbe mill Il not near large enough to
olive the mine, even at Its present depth,
. fair show. The north body Of sui
nhnrets on the 400-foot level now
measures IA feet from foot to hanging
wall. and the ore gets better every
dav. The new large plunger steam
num- Is on the ground and will at once
he nut in the mine, and 100 feet more
will be sunk and new levels started"

upon tho late Judicial elections, says
Judges should be appointed, not

as candidate for Governor Of Massa-

being the author Of the back salary
steal said he at first opposed, but on
becoming convinced that 1t was right,
voted for and aided in its passage. He
defended his action on the ground that
Congress had heretofore done the same
thing. having several times increased
the salaries Of It's members, to ante
date the passage Of the Act. While
this may be all correct In Buffers esti-
nation, It won't appear so to the gen.

one crime by previous ones Of a sim-
liar though less expensive character
will hardly satisfy the minds Of Massa-

TIVE trial Of Susan B. Anthony, for

THE trial of Susan B. Anthony, for
violating law in voting at the general
election last November, Is now pro-
crossing in the Circuit Court of the
United States, To- In session at Roch-
ester, N. Y. The defendant appeared
personally, and was represented by
Judge Henry R. Selden. Of New York
City, and John Van voorhees, Of Roch-
ester. No difficulty was experienced
in empannelllng a jury. and it was
conceded that defendant was, on the
fifth Of November, 1872, a woman.
The propositions made by Judge Sell
den in his address to the court and
Jury we're: First-Defendant was le-
gally entitled to vote at the election
In question. Second-That II she was
not so entitled, but believed that she
was so, and voted In good faith in that
belief, 1t does not constitute a criminal
offense under the statute ; and, Third
That she did vote in such belief and
in good faith. He said that the two
first questions were for the court, and
the last for the jury, unless the court
should consider otherwise. He Insisted
that the time had come when the civil
and political rights of women should
be placed upon a perfect equality with
men.

exalted position from this county. In

will not mention the gentleman's
name.
