The Presumption Of Railroad Lands
OMAHA (Neb. }. July %.
Secretary Schurz's decision, to the
effect that the Union Pacific lands not
yet sold can be preempted by settlers
at 81 rs per acre. will throw open to
the public large amount of valuable
land in Nebraska. aud there is no
doubt that it will nearly all be pre-
empted. Union Pacific Land Commits
sioner Leavitt Burnham says that in
some counties the road owns land
valued as high as $l2 per acre, and
that they propose to contest all cases of
such preemptioDs. The result will be
a lively struggle on the part of the
Union Pacific, who will be very heavy
losers by this decision.

A plea for the Post.
THE WHIPPING POST.


In your paper of the 4th inst, under
the heading of "No Whipping Post in
Ours" you describe very accurately and
pathetically the horrors Of the whipping
post. l contend that in proportion to the
horror and detestation with which the
masses view the whipping post, to that
same extent will its anticipated infliction
deter them from crime; and as to a light
drubbing being more humane than long
confinement in a penitentiary there can
be no doubt.
once knew party in North Carolina
who had propensity for stealing every
thing he could lay his hands on. At
length the law took hold of him and he
was wooded lightly. This appeared to
bring him to his senses, and so far as
known, he forsook his thieving propensi-
ty, and settled down to hard labor on his
little farm and reared family Of inter-
esting children.
Who will now advocate that the con-
dition of that man, his family, or the
community at large, would have been
benefited by depriying him of his liberty
by shutting him up in a penitentiary for
a term of years for the foregoing petty
thefts?
1t is the moral influences of the rod
rather than the pain inflicted thereby that
produces, or should produce, the needed
reformation. Whippings for first ofienses
should therefore always be light; but
should deprive the criminal of the privil-
ege of testifying in courts, or of voting al
public elections until after he shall have
been restored to citizenship by Legislative
enactment.
Ifthe criminal manifest disposition
to reform, let few of his neighbors peti
ton the legislature to remove his disabili
ties. This would, of course, be done ant
ifthere be any pride in that man he woul'
not bring his neighbors into disrepute by
again treading in his former pathway o
crime.
| The foregoing is an important subject
but being opposed to penitentiaries o
long confinement in prison | have give
what believe to be the best substitute

The duty of Congress at this time is i'm

vestigation, the exact nature of this out
rage upon the ballot-box, hitherto held
sacred and inviolate. And they must
not stop at determining the extent of the
fraud committed. They must establish
cd and atlix the responsibility for the
crime. 1t will not do merely to prove the
fact of the commission of fraud. 1t must

my good fortune to be present
at a bran dance, and there met
with many friends, and among
them quite a number of hungry
candidates, shaking hands and
mingling with the people. We
had one candidate out from
Winchester for Attorney-Gen-
eral, several from Fayetteville
seeking for different ollices,who
were quite industrious looking
after their interests. Among
the rest we had a candidate
from or near Mulberry, MIR.
Frank Ingle, who was active in
making music for the dancing
party. Dancing commenced a.
bout TO O'Clock in the morning
and was kept UP till noon, when
the nourishing nutrimcnts of
life were amply supplied by the
substantials and delicacies fur
nished by the good citizens of
the surrounding neighborhoo1.
After refreshments, the young
friends resumed their places
waiting for music to start the
fun. Mr.. Ingle mounted the
stand, put his fiddle in perfect
readiness and the gay young
friends started up their fun by
dancing till late in the evening.

A Religious Craze.
Murdcrous Work in East
Tennessee.

Intelligence has just been re
ceived of the terrible act OF a lu-
matte at Rhea Springs, in East
Tennessee. 1t seems that man
named Collins, a hard drinker.
and a member OF the Catholic
Church, had expressed a desire TO
join the Methodists. The con.
gregation OF the latter Church at
Rhea Springs decided, if be would
cease drinking. profess their faith
and live upright, to receive him
into the Church. Collins accept
ed, almost entirely stopping hie
drinking habits, and living as mp
right as the average Of church
members.

Of protracted meeting, and last
Saturday ClIlins became unusual
ly demonstrative, praying fervent-
ly and loudly in public. Early
Sunday morning. with threats, he
drove his wife from home, and
went through all the forms of
baptizing his two children. After
that he rode up to the church at
the Springs and destroyed oil the
religious books he could find, say
ing to those who tried to prevent
him that the books had the devil
in them He then left, riding
away. When some distance from
town. he became possessed with
the idea that the devil was in his
clothing, and quickly stripped
himself entirely naked.
The country along the road is
we'll settled and Collins. 10 full
view of everybody, started back
on foot, at full speed, for the
church. As he rushed through
town, the excited crowd that
followed him was increased to o
multitude. Several tried to stop
bin, one Of the pursuers being
knocked senseless with stone,
and another badly bruised by the
maniac's Gst. The whole town
was up and after him. The
church doors were closed, and az
ter great trouble his capture was
effected. Securely bound, he was
placed in Jail.
Monday the jailer went into the
cell, when Collins, who lad in
some way released himself, seized
a board and knocked the iAiler
down. With expressions of liend
ish delight Collins sprang on the
