Rapid Growth of Nebraska.

1t Is safe to say that no section o.
the Northwest is increasing in popu
latiOn in greater ratio than the -four
isbing State of Nebraska, and no par
of the country offers greater induce
ments and advantages to home-seek.
ers. That these advantages are wide
ly appreciated is evinced by the fac
that during the last fiscal year The
enormous amount of 620,6 acres o.
public lands were disposed of in tha
State, as compared with 257, 407 acres
In the preceding year. In addition
the sales of railroad lands were unpre.
cedented; the Burlington & Missouri
River Railroad receiving in four
months. from February to May, over
81 900, 900 from this source, while large
amounts of other railroad Ian d-grants
throughout the State were disposed of
to actual settlers.
In connection with the subject OF
the wonderful growth of Nebraska,
we see it stated that according to the
recent returns the population of thai
State is now 313. 74S, as against 122, ,99S
in 1870, and 257 TAT In 1876. These fig.
ure, it is true, would indicate very
gratifying increase in population, but
we are persuaded that they come fal
short of showing the actual gain. In
explanation of this assertion, we will
state that the population was calcula
ted on the assessors returns In the
spring from forty Of the older coun.
ties, and the population ofsome TWEEN
ty of the new counties was estimated
ON the basis of growth of the Older
counties, which was manifestly un.
| fair, inasmuch as the immigration to
the former has been and continues to
be very much larger than the latter.
At a moderate estimate, the new
counties have gained in population an
average of 80 per cent. since the re-
turns were made. We have just learn
ed from a reliable source that Muck
oils county has doubled in population
since the returns of the State Board
were completed.
There is no possibility of the state
ment being controverted that since
the 1st of March, 1878. the inflow; OF
settlers into Nebraska by railroads,
teams, and other means of convey
ance has averaged at least 600 per, day
many well-informed residents of
the State setting 1T as high as 800 to
1000 per day. The former low esti-
mate would give an-increase in popu-
lation of some so, 900 since the assess
ors' returns were made. This, added
to fair percentage for the underesti-
mate on the new counties, before al
luded to, would make the population
of Nebraska to-day approximate 400,-
600, showing the remarkable increase
of upward of so per cent. In the last
two years, and 325 per cent. since
1870.
In this approved and beneficent
way is being accomplished practical
solution of the hard times and labor
problems, by the transfer of the sur
plus population of the crowded towns
and cities of the East to the new, rich
and fertile plains of the West. And
yet there is room for multitudes more
of those who would exchange their
present condition ofpoverty and want
for that of independence and solid
thrift. Chicago Commercial AdUer-

We learn on the best authority that
the Hon. Lorenzo Crounse has by no
means decided to become a candidate
for the congressional nomination.
The most that he will do would be to
accept the nomination If 1t was thrust
upon him. He is sdisinclined-for the
reasons urged by the Rep,6lican-to
antagonize Mr.. Welch. both as a mat
ter of political precedent, party usage
and personal expediency.
We also hear that influential friends
of Judge Crounse In different portions
Of the state discourage his candidacy
lat least in advance of the nomina-
tion) for several reasons-the above
among the number, principal of which
is, that they object to having his rep
utation smirohed and his chances de-
stroyed by having Rosewater as his
political protege. In answer to letters
from a certain source, several of these
gentlemen have replied that they will
not consent to work for Crounse un-
der Rosewater's leadership.
We also learn that Mr.. Crounse's
personal and chief friends and advis-
ers, nearer home, take the same view.
AS one of them-and the most promi-
nent and influential lone-recently ex-
pressed IL, Rosewater cares nothing
for Crounse he merely wants to use
him to beat Welch, and is morally
certain to turn on Crounse when he
has thus used him, and slaughter him
In somebody else's interest-and his
own. This gentleman says that Judge
Crounse Is advised that he cannot af-
ford to be run any longer by this un-
serupulous and treacherous marplot.
1t Is certain that the general senti-
ment among reputable republicans
throughout the state has at last reach
ed a level-a higher level which

ter, clinching the bargain which had
been substantially agreed upon Feb.
%, as appears by the following:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1877.
| To Governor +. II. Mich oils:
[Confldentiall
We have been one week organizing
a force to compel guarantees. securing
your government. Conference to-day
and tonight with Sherman, Mat
thews, Dennison, Garfield, and Foster.
We assure peace and order, protection
of law to white and black, no perse-
cution for past political conduct, no
immunity for crime. On the other
hand, by gradual process. such meth
ods as will result in yOtGr full posses
Siohof the government of the State by
the withdrawal of troops, non-inter-
ference, and reversal of military or
ders.
This was the bargain, and history
tells how faithfully it was carried out
on one side. In the light of the con-
tract the Mac Veagh commission of
Lawrence, Harlan ct al. becomes one
of the most contemplate farces and
deceptions ever practiced in politics.
The public was given to understand
that, there being a great trouble In
Louisiana, a number Of good men
and true had been selected to go down
there and settle it as equity seemed to
demand. Being republicans, sent out
by a Republican administration, 1t
was to be supposed that they would
at least give their brethern in Louisi-
ana a fair chance. They did not, and
the public has wondered why they
did not. Now 1t transpires that they
were the mere tools, the cat's-paws,
the contemplate instruments who
consented to be used for the iDiquit-
Que purpose of crushing out and des-
troying the brave men who had saved
the nation to the Republican party.
They did their work as their masters
had ordered them to do, and-well,
they have been rewarded.
But another curious fact is revealed
by the testimony of the man Burke,
and that is, that the threats OF stop
ping the count and getting upa great
row was intended fora scare, and new
er would have amounted to anything
but threats. He says:
We had gone to one, two, three and
half dozen at time (of Northern

ments, and they had kilograms and
letters from their constituents in
structing them not to oppose them.
They said they did not dare defeat the

The Bargain at Last.

At last after charges and denials and
rumors and counter-rumors without
number, the famous bargain which
secured the downfall of Governor
Packard Is made public.
We have as yet but one side of the
story, but as the events testify to the
truth of the main points in Major
Burke's recital, we can afford to COM
ment on 1t without waiting for other
testimony.
This bargain was made on the 1st
day of March, 1877. and the Inter
| Ocean does not hesitate to declare that
no day In the history of this country
has been fraught with greater dis
grace and humiliation to the nation
than that dark and shameful Thurs
day.
For momentary peace and a tenn
porary triumph, the representatives of
this great and powerful government
bargained with a pitiful mob, and
agreed that the latter should have
their countenance in driving legal
ly constituted State government from
power, and hurrying into exile those
who had through danger and death
made the Republican negotiators the
arbiters of their fate.
It was not alone the parties to this
barter who were disgraced by it, but
the stain and humiliation extended
to every citizen within the limits OF
| the land.
What was it that the impudent
murderers of Louisiana threatened
and proposed? Here it is in the
words of Burke, the chief negotiator,
himself:
l said to Stanley Matthews and ex-
| Governor Dennison thatswe had con-
stantly sought to avoid clashing with
Federal authority. yet we were deter
mined to defend our government, as
against the Federal Government, or
any body else who might attempt to
sustain Packard. Therefore, with us,
an attempt to inaugurate the PAckard
government was bound to plunge
Louisiana into anarchy and strife. If
it should come, we preferred to make
1t a national issue, In which our ma
tional friends would be involved as
well as ourselves.
Shivering with fear at this terrible
threat from the mighty warrior Burke,
a conference was called at Wormiey's
Hotel. The result of that conference
is best told in dispatch to the usurp-
er Nichols from his agents who par
ticipated. The dispatch was as fol-
lows:
WASHINGTON, March l, 1877.
f. T. Nichols:
We have an authorized statement of
the President concerning military or
ders i'm writing, and confirmed by the
President. to four different parties.
We have the guarantees of Sherman,
Dennison, Matthews, and Foster, rep
resenting the views of Governor
Hayes, confirming matters submitted
to the caucus, with the action of the
caucus committed to writing. Copies
exchanged, and satisfactory written
assurances from Hayes that he is cor
rectly represented by his friends here.

have written guarantees.
