The Work to Begin Immediately.


Washington, Sept. by direction
Of the Secretary of War, Capt. w. j.
Twining, corps of Engineers, U. s. A.,
has been assigned to temporary duty in
charge of the survey of the Union Pa
cific and Central Pacific railroads be-
tween Council Bluffs, Iowa, AID Sacra-
mento, contemplated by the resolution
of the House of Representatives of July
10th 1876, and section 8, of the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
tion bill for the present fiscal year.
Captains w. H. Huer and Jas. E. Gre
CORY, of the Engineer Corps have been
ordered to report to Capt. Twining for
the purpose of assisting him in the work.
The resolution of July 10th, above re-
ferred to, which was submitted in the
House by jerks, the preamble Of which
recites the allegation that the measure
ments of distances on the Union Paci-
fic and Central Pacific railways upon
which bonds were issued by Government
to the companies owning said railways
was hastily and inaccurately made.
The resolution then directs the Secreta-
ry of War to detail sufficient force
make a careful and exact survey of the
distance Of said roads between Omaha
and Sacramento, distinguished be-
tween the sections for which bonds
were issued to the companies at differ
ent rates, exhibiting the number of
miles at each rate and designating the
points between which different rates
were designated, and to report the re-
suit to the House at the commence
ment of next session. The eighth Sec
tion of the legislative bill referred to in
the order appropriates $4,000 for the
purpose Of defraying the expense of the
survey between Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Democratic Decsirers.
The Times Utica special says the
greatest excitement prevails there about
Seymour's non-acceptance. He has
not withdrawn and will not withdraw
his positive declination. 1t seems to
be conceded that Judge. Gray delib-
erately suppressed his dispatch, with
the view to procuring an adjournment
of the convention before Seymour's
action was known, and thus compelling
himto carry the ticket through the cleo
ton in spite of himself. Gen. Faulkner
had no authority for his audacious false
hood in stating to the convention that
Seymour waived his personal interests
and accepted the nomination. 1t is
plain that the Tilden managers have
perpetrated a characteristic fraud upon
Seymour and the Democratic conven-
tion and the people at large. Seymour
had no intimation of what had been
going on until late in the evening when
dispatches thanking him for his accept
ance began to pour upon him. His
annoyance upon the discovery of the
trick was very great, but he did not
permit himself to be thrown into false
position by the fact that the convention
had adjourned, leaving the party at his
mercy. He had given ample opportu-
nifty for the convention to escape from
the dilemma of headless ticket. He
authorized the statement sent the As
sociated Press last evening and no
amount of entreaty can now induce him
to reconsider. He will not even permit
the use Of his name on the ticket be-
cause he believes that such an expedient
would be a blind to induce people to
elect him to an Office whose duties his
health will not permit him to discharge.
Very general indignation is felt
among all friends of Seymour at the
manner in which his wishes have been
trified with and disregarded. 1t is
spoken of as one of Tilden's tricks to
sacrifice others to strengthen himself
The feeling is that the whole moral
effect of the convention has been broken
and the ticket hopelessly weakened by
this contemplate fiasco.

IMPORTANT
TO THE
TRAVELLING PUBLIC.

1t is the duty of all persons before
starting on journey to ascertain by
what route they can reach their destina-
tion with the least trouble, and if there
are two or more roads leading to the same
point, to decide which is the safest and
pleasantest to travel.
We take pleasure in stating, that the
CHICAGO AND NoRTH-WEsTERN RAIL
WAY is the oldest, and several miles the
shortest, route between Omaha and
Chicago. Within the past two years the
road bed has been put in admirable con-
dition, and almost the entire line has
been relaid with steel rails.
The Depot in Chicago is centrally To-
Gated, and as their trains arrive there
thirty minutes in advance Of all other
lines, passengers can always be sure of
making Eastern connections. For all
points in Northern and Eastern Iowa,
you should purchase tickets via Mar
shall, Cedar Rapids OF Clinton. For
points in Northern Illinois or Wiseon-
sin, via Fulton; and if you are going to
Chicago or East, you should, by all
means, purchase your tickets by the

Another Opinion from Gen. Sherman

Another Opinion from Gen. Sherman.
General Sherman continues to be of
thu iinpfession that<the hostile Sioux
hays been divided pp Or that they are
endeavoring to get out Of the Powder
River and Big Horn country. He says
that he is of the opinion that they do
not want to fight any more and that
they will endeavor to cross the Yellow
stone to get away. If they can succeed
in doing this, which he doubts on ac-
count of General Miles patrolling forces
they win then be heard Of at the agen-
cies. There are but three fords prac-
ticable for them ON the Yellowstone and
it will take so long to get their old men,
women, ponies and lodge poles across
that they will be pounced upon by the
United States troops before they can ac-
complish such a movement. General
Sherman believes that the Indians under
Sitting Bull would not have allowed the
junction of the forces of Generals Crook
and Terry if they meant to fight, and to
him it looks as though with broken
up crowd of the hostiles, Sitting Bull is
likely to be getting ready to surrender
and secure the best terms possible. At
all events no such determined fight
ing as heretofore is looked for. Beyond
the $500 additional soldiers now be-
ing recruited no additional troops will
be required. Hence there is not much
probability that the request of the ma
rine corps to be employed will be COM
piled with, unless it may be deemed ad-
visable to place them at the agencies to
carry out the arresting of the returned
hostiles found at the agencies.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
now looks to the army exclusively at
the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agen-
cies to establish the authority of the gov
ernment and to conduct the manage
ment of Indian affairs there for the
time being, under which arrangement,

The Minneapolis Sentinel publishes Salina
grain market every week. for the benefit of
many in Ottawa county who bring grain to
this market If some steps were taken by our
citizens toward improving the roads leading
10 the Solomon valley, our trade from that
rich country would be immense. From Min
nsspolis TO Solomon the road is several miles
lolEeNthan from Minneapolis TO Salina. The
Sotsmon road, however, is Letter one. and
the Solomon valley people for this reason pre-
fer to 90 to Solmon City. BY building two
bridges. one scross the Saline river and one
across the Mulberry, a splendid thoroughfare
can be establish-leading from Salina into the
So ONION valley. By doing this il lie safe TO
saw Salina can secure almost the entire Solo
mon valley trade. This Is matter Salinas
business men should take hold OF, and not rest
until the ends desired are accomplished A
handsome jobbing trade would thereby be es-
tablished in lumber, hardware, drugs, ETC.. be-
sides making Salina a more extensive grain
market than she now Is.

Hanna says that we opened up the senatorial
question last week. and for that reason he goes
to work and writes up halt dozen editorial
items on that subject in the last Herald. We
were not aware we had mentioned Hanna

coat which exactly fitted him, or why should
he rave so. Everybody in Mcpherson county
freely admits that the late senatorial fight was

was partially made in Saline county. And

il was no county fight As il stands. il IS

A state as well along in intelligence and en-
kerprise as Kansas should have some liberal
law providing for the establishment Of libra.
ries in different localities. At the public
shool in this city there are. we believe, about
eighty volumes, and also an unexpended libra
ny fund. II there was provision by law for
yearly tax of one-third mill for library pur-
poses we would, i'm few years, have a IN e
niticent library in our school building. and its
influence upon the school children and the
community at large would be most healthy
and beneficial. But in the absence of such a
law il behooves our citizens to devise some
means for increasing our school library or fol-
establishing public library in our city.

Reports from all parts of the State are to the
effect that nearly all of the eggs deposited by
grasshoppers had hatched during the recent
warm weather and that the storms and cold
weather Of last week was the means of destroy
ing the young 'hopPers. The reports are so
well substantiated as to leave little doubt tina
we will be relieved OF much of the trouble an.
ticipated from these pests next spring. We
have talked with men from all parts of Saline
and from adjoining counties, who assured us
that they mad personally investigated the con-
dition of the egg deposits in their localities
and they had found that in most cases the
eyes, backs aud legs of young grasshopper'
had formed but life WAS apparently extinct
The indications are that this section will be
comparatively free of the 'hoppers in the
spring.
