Of the name in the State it may be ulti-

tainly the people of Nebraska may look to
this conclusion; and settlers in the State
ought not to forget that flax NAV be made
a profitable crop.
At recent meeting Of the Farmers
Association, of Lancaster county, held at
Lincoln (thc county seat and capital of the
State), a discussion took place on the
probabilities of a flax crop for this year.
and l. was stated that some eastern gen
tlemen had offered to build an oil mill il

pondent who sends this item of informa-
tion in the interests of farmers moving
west, says that in Ohio, the flax crop used
to be a most profitable one. HaIfa busheI

to 20 bushels. worth 81 so per bushel-
Taking the yield at 10 bushels. the seed

BENJAMIN L. BUTLER. who during
the war held g command under Grant
when the latter was ATTEMPTING, to cap
ture Richmond, and whose military
operations and utter failures prompted
Grant to say in one Of his official re-
ports that, at a certain point on the
James river, Butler was "cOrfed up
an a b0Hie' by the Confederate Gener-
al, is an Ishmaelite in the radical par
ty. He is the confidential friend and
adviser of Grant, who ridiculed his
military capacity, and is regarded as
the leader of the radical party in the
House. In speaking Of Buffers career
in Congress and of its damaging eff
feet upon his party and the country,
the Philadelphia BuiIetin, Grant pa
per, recently Inburthened itself in this
wise:
1t Is time for the Republican party to
unload and the first man to be thrown
overheard is Benjamin +. Butler He is
too much for any political organization to
carry with safety and unless the party
gets ria of him and his crew of dependents
the country will be very apt to set the seal
OF rs TeProbation upon the party. When
I. the Republicans won their last great ma
tiouM victory they had upon record dis
tirct and solemn promise Of two excellent
and necessary reforms. They we're pledged
to labor earnestly for the redemption of
the currency and too reorgauize the civil
service IN such a manner that the business
OF the nation should be conducted by men
chosen because Of their special fitness for
the work, and not by political hacks Sc
Iscted upon system Of favoritism. Both
Of tt2aS pledges hars been Uio!atca, and the
most braZen and Indecent Of the advocates
OF such violation Is Butler. There may be
few infatuated beings who believe that
the Republican party is strong enough to
sustain iIself even when il shall have been
proved utterly iaithlesS to its trust and to
its promises; hut 10 sensible man enter
talns such an opinion.

A New York journal says that very
wealthy gentleman of that city has added
codicil to his will, ordering that after his
death his body shall be injected with pc
troleum, placed in a metallic coffin, and
then be deposited in one of the retorUs of
the Manhattan Gas Company's works. If
afterwards no one wishes to inter his ashes,
they are to be delivered to the Central Park
Commissioners, to be used as fertil:zing ma

THE radical members OF the House
at Harrisburg held one of their usual
caucus meetings few days ago, and
among other resolutions modestiy
adopted the following:
Resolred, That the Republican members
of the House stand prepared TO decide all
questions that come before them on their
merits alone, and will not, therefore, take
caucus action on non-partisan bills which
will come before them for an unbiased con-
sideration.
We suppose that q legislative ap-
portionment bill, the Legitimate OBJ
ject of which ought to be TO give each
political party in the State its proper
representation in the Legislature, IS
one of the "questiOnsn that ought to
be decided on its ''merits alone" Do
the radicals in the House who passed
the foregoing brazenly impudent res
olution propose to act up to their pro
fession Not at all but they are
determined TO pass bill which in all
its provisions, both in tie aggregate
and in the detail, is unfair, unjust and
atrociOus, and which will disfranchise
at least one hundred thousand Demo-
cratic voters in the State They pro-
pose to make a desert waste Of the
Democratic party and then ask that
party to call it peace.

Reading Matter on Every Pag.
WASHINGTON CITY:
sATIRDAY...... April rs, 1874.
The Railroad Extension.

The House yesterday passed, with an amend
ment, the bill supplementary to the act emitted
.'An act TO authorize the Washington City and
Point Lockout railroad company to extend a
railroad into and within the District of Column
bis-" This bill is a substitute for the bill
rejected by the House previously, giving this
company the right Of way through the District
along the south front of this city, up to George
town. The present bill authorizes the company,
instead of crossing the Eastern branch as before
proposed, 70 cross the Il ats above the head of
the Eastern branch. They start from Brandy
wine, southwest of Washin gton, and proceed
northerly until they get to Blsdens5urg; then
from Bladensburg to Pinsy Branch, northwest
Of this city; then up Piney Branch TO Rock
creek, and down Rock creek valley TO Water
street, in GeOrgetOED; thence along Water
street 20 q Point near the northwest IN termi-
nus Of the AgHeduct bridge; thence along
Jbe Potomac river TO the northwestern
boundary Of the District Of Columbia, 80
as TO connect with the Washington AMI
ohio railroad, with authority 70 construct a
bridge across the Potomac river above nsviya-
tiODi and also 10 contract a bran;h railroad
outside OF the limits OF the city OF Washington
10 connect its road with the Washington branch
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; the location
OF said route to be subject TO this approval OF
the engineer in charge Of public buildings and
grounds. 4 ne company l. restricted from inter-
feTing With the rights and privileges Of the
Chesapeake and ONO Canal company; and are
authorized 10 establish dep, at some 20 NJ on
water street between Rock creek an the AIue-
duct bridge. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company are authorized to uss the tracks or the
road from it, intersection with the Metropolitan
branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com
PaDy to the city of GeorgefoSn, upon re asOn-
able terms The charter is forfeited unless at
least one track of the road is completed within
three years. An amendment adopted by the
House requires the company to take up
Its tracks between the Insane Asylum aud the
Potomac river, and forbid the future location
Of any road between the asylum and the river
Should this amendment be adopted by the
Senate II would destroy the present connection
South used by the Baltimore and Ohio cOmga-
ny, largely as freight line. This piece Of road
runs down the Potomac shore on the MARYLAND
side to point opposite Alexandria, where the
cars are taken across the river upon barges
The line might be reconstructed east of the In
sane Asy lGm and avoiding the river Shore or it
may be a. at the line north and northwest of the
city, authorized by the bill and making connec-
tons South, would do away with the necessity
tor the branch to Alexandria, or opposite on
the Mary land side.

The election of Governor wsshburn, Of Mas
saehusetts, Buffers antagonist, to the Senate is
looked upon by SEINE as a sharpdefeat received
by the General. 1t would seem, however, tina
the prohibition question, and other local mat
tiers, entered into the issue, and it is probable
mat Butlerism or anti Butlerism b al very little
10 do with the result As Senator Summers
term would have expired in March next, Gov
Washburn will have but a short time to serve
IN the Senate unless he should be returned by
the next legislature for the long term Of six
years. The election for members OF the Iegis-
lature takes place next fall, when the main
lssue will be between the Butler and anti
Butler republicans. OF course no valid ar
rangement a. to Gov. Washburn's successor
can he made at present "a the rssul, will de-
pend entirely upon the political complexion of
the incoming legislature.
