OUR TICKET.

The municipal campaign Is now
open. The Convention of Repre-
sentative Republicans entrusted
with the delicate responsibility OF
placing i'm nomination the officers
to be supported by their partyin the
impending campaign, has acquitted
itself Of the task IN a n1gfy
creditable manner. They have
placed before our citizens candidates
whose character and qualifications
hardly need an endorsement from
the newspapers.
The harmony that characterized
the proceeding of the Convention,
and the fact that the convention
was made up of some of the most
prominent and respectable Republic
cans in the City, are the best evil
dences that these candidatee de-
serve and will receive the undivided
support of our party.
We would invite the attention of
our readers to the biographical
sketches of the candidates in anoth-
er column, What Omaha wants is
o good City Government, and we
believe she will have it III her citi-
zens endorse the Republican ticket.
Further comment is deemed SUPER
fiuous until after the s~quare-toed
Democracy shall have placed their
ticket in the field.

As to the proposition thai l was
entitled to know how my properly
had been disposed of and that 1t had
somewhere and somehow, been ap-
piled to the payment of mytax, ne
responded simply, 'that makes no
difference"
AS nv demurrer was overruled
and I was given 80 days to reply TO.
the answer.
Thus I have endeavOred to give
a complete answer to your inquiry.
These occurances have added moth
ing to the consciousness that you
and 1 feel in common with all good
i'citizens, that it is our duty to pay all
legitimate taxes te carry on the
government. We may still insist,
/ think, that money ext0rted from
us to be paid into the Golfers Of pri-
vate PERSONS existing as corporations
ia not such taxation. 1t would
doubtless be calamity if taxes
were not paid, and 1 think l can
imagine a greater calamity than
even this /; and that calamity will
he upon us when the time
arrives if it ever does, that
our tribunals of justice shall deny to

them and invoke their judgement as

OUR CANDIDATES

The Candidates of the Republican
party for the Municipal offices,
may be divided under two heads.
Executive and Legislative. The
Executive Department Consists of
the Mayor. Marshal, Police Judge,
Treasurer, Clerk, Street Commits
sioner and Eengineer, while the
Legislative branch is composed Of
the members Of the City Counciland
Board of Education. In this sketch
We shall briefly review the anteced-
ents, character and qualities
fions of the candidates for the Ex-
ecutive offices.
Legislative officials will receive
our attention i'm our next issue.
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
of any city is the Mayor and upon
him rests the great responsibility Of
experimenting all the other officers
attached to the executive Depart
ment. No man i'm Omaha is more
fully qualified for this position than
Colonel Champion s. Chase, and no
man will take greater pains to con-
duct the affairs of his Office with
dignity and impartiality.
Thoroughly identified with the
material interest of Omaha, Colonel
Chase viii ever be found in the
front rank of the men whose enter
prise and industry shall make our
city prosperous and progressive.
Oftemperate habits andliberal views
Colonel Chase will, we believe,
receive the endorsement of every
conservative and law abiding citi-
zen Irrespective ofparty attachments.
Colonel Chase is so well known
IN this community that we do not
deem it necessary to say any more
than that he has seen service in the
ranks Of the Union army, and in
the ranks of his party. He wnl be
the next Mayor of Omaha, If this
court knows itself.
In the discharge Of his functionsas
conseryator q the peace, the May
or relies almost exclusively upon
the
crrt MARSHAL.
That Office is therefore a very re-
sponsible one, requiring sobriety,
vigilance, energy and an insight IL,
20 lie habits and workings q the
ximinai glasses. Mr. John Chnsto
~rson, the Republican nominee
Nrshal, possesses these qualifi-

ever since. While other policemen
have from time to time been &C
cused of direlection of duty or i'm

been a single charge or sven . sus-

His promotion from the ranks Is

il a very important functionary.
The experience of the past few
wears should convince our citizens
that their Police Judge should be q
man of irreproachable moral char
acter, strict impartiality, and above
all a good Judge of human nature
We believe Colonel r. w. Wilbu
will fulfill these conditions. He is I
man possessed of sound judgmen
and an unspotted reputation
and while his business engage
ments have not brought hin
into close contact with the popula
sympathy with them. He under

Genuine Estabrook Reviews Some
Recent Decisions Of l
our Courts.

WILLARD, March Is, 1874.
To GENERAL EsTABROoKs:
Great anxiety is felt In this part
of the county to know more about
the late decision Of Judge Lake in
your suit with City Treasurer John
son, which the BEE says is q second
trial, and that it was granted by
the Supreme Court. We are not
aware that 1t ever went to the Su-
preme Court. Please give us the
facts in the case. We would also
like to be informed I'm detail what is
the decision Of the Supreme Court
in that injunction case of Harrison
johnson, and In what manner it
will affect the taxpayers Of the
State.
Yours most respectfully,

OMAHA, March 25, 1874.
GENTLEMEN:
Yours of the 9Th inst, reached
me only yesterday. The newspa-
per paragraph to which you refer is
a jumbling together Of two classes,
those of johnson vs.. Hahan, and
Estabrook VS.. johnson.
The first of these Is one Of several
cases brought by farmers living in
the western part Of the county, in
1870, to restrain the sale of their
land for taxes levied In part to pay
interest upon O.. 4 6. WAand o. &
n, w. Railroad lands.
The District Court Of this county
refused the injunction, and one case
-Hollenbeck Va. Hahn-was taken
to the Supreme Court, where, at the
January term, 1873, the judgment
of the District Court was affirmed,
Judge Crounse delivering the opin-
ion, Judge Mason dissenting.
This case viii ever be memof6 hle
in the annals Of Nebraska jurispru-
dence, ON account of some peculiar
circumstances attending 1t,
The opinion as published in 2
Nebraska Reports, s77, was not filed
until after Judge Crounse ceased to
be Judge; so that 1t Is but an essay
Of a private gentleman upon the
topics involved.
The opinion, as published, oocu-
pied l0pages, 90 Of which was de,
voted 10 the qunest0n Of the legality
of the bonds. This part Of the opin-
ion was written sometime before the
balance and placed by the Judge in
the hands Of the bankers Of Oma-
ha who were engaged In the bond
speculation, and by them published
In pamphlet form at their own x
pepse, for free distribution. The
reason Tor this unusual proceeding Is
explained In the following extract
nom the opinion:
As long - the law remains on
our statute-books, and Is long as 1t
isimp0sib1e fokj railroads to be con-
structed Though counties 50 Is to
confer eqpxa benefits upon all sec

of the collector of the tax to send
such delinquent list to the County
Treasurer on or before the fifteenth
day of July Of each year, and the
County Treasurer shall receive the
delinquent list and advertise the
same at the same time he advertises
the sale of real estate for delinquent,
as hereinafter provided, by adding
the amount of such delinquent dis
trict, town, city or local tax to the
amount Of delinquent State, county
and other taxes, and shall sell such
lands for the purpose of paying all
such delinquent taxes, as hereinafter
directed; and shall credit the proper
district, town, city or locality for the
amount of taxes SO collected, which
shall be subject to the order Of the

2. The answer disclosed the fact
that my name does not appear on
any Of the delinquent lists.
8. The answer does not state any
year when the lands were delinquent
nor any sum Of such delinquency,
mol any description Of lands delin-
quent.
4. 1t is not shown how the pro-
perry was disposed of nor that the
proceeds were applied to the liquid
alton Of any portion Of the delin-
quent tax.
As to the first points the court
held that the clerk, always had
means TO determine all delinqlen-
cies, and when / exhibited the
above statute to show that the list
went totally out of his hands and
that there was no provision by
which II ever went back to him,
he read q section Of the act relating
to cities Of the first class, passed
Feb, 1873, to the effect that the
CLERK should keepa duplicate list in
his Office and made this apply to the

A SCENE In COURT.
ESCAPE OF PHILADELPHIA CRIMINAL.
HE TAKES THE COURSE OF JIMMY
HAGGERTY.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "a.
James Freeman, this morning, was brought
into the Court Of Quarter Sessions for sentence
for diamond robbery of the store Of CLARK,
Robbins, Il Biddle, when he made Il successful
attempt at escape. He suddenly leaped out
from the dock, and through second story win
dow into Independence Square, ran across Ches-
nut street, and into the American Hotel, and
through that building into Minor street, where
he disappeared before the officers could get on
his track.
The fugitive took exactly the same course
pursued by Jimmy Haggerty, some years since,
when escaping from the Court House while in
custody, in connection with the attempted mur-
der of revenue detective Brooks.
The affair caused quite sensation, this
morning.

and ammunition to enable the settlers to defend
themselves the absence of the government
troops in Indian Territory leaving the unprotec-
fad boundary
