KM I'jiwiqppBjwipBiPII )fc]J«iry pisuSetl WEDNESDAY, JAX. 19th, 1876. .f. VAN 8LYKE, Editor. 9ST"A collision occur rod between two freight trains a few day? siuce on the Yandalia road. A car full of barrels labeled "mess pork" was wrecked. uMess pork" proved to be a horrible decoction of crooked whisky, and Louisville was the crookef. '7 •All the public-school children of TJijisi; are expected to give some­ thing for the rebel Robert E. Lee I f o u u m e n t f u n d o n J a n u a r y 1 9 -- a school collection being ordered at that time. Are these children also to be expected to emulate the example of the man for whom the monument. is intended? - 'An exchange says: "People may say that advertising dcyi't pay, if they want to; but only a little while aso Smyth© advertised for a lost cow, and the next day five cows broke into his yard and ate up the shrubbery, a year­ ling calf fell dowh the cellar hatchway into a coal bin, and a butcher's horse ran away with a cart load of beef and dumped it all over the front steps." 'The majority of the House Ju­ dical Committee have agreed to re­ port a bill limiting the Presidential term to six years, and making the incumbent thereafter ineligible to the office, the law to go intc effect on and after March 4 1881. The minority con­ sisting of the four Republicans on the committee and one Democrat, will re­ port a bill limiting the term of the office to six years, and making the in­ cumbent again eligible only after an interval of eight years from the. date of his retirement, the law to go Into efiect March 4.1877. "On Christmas. Governor Bever- idge played Santa Chtus, and'gave to Wni. Butler,* a colored man, and to Jack Gallagher, white, their pardons from the penitentiarv. The former had been sentenced for life, and the la'ter 20 years, for murder. What right has the governor to turn loose on society* these murderers?--Exchange. According to our State law the Gov­ ernor lias the right to pardon any pris­ oner. But when he makes a practice of liberating anybody and everybody whom he chooses, regardless of their crime, he lays himself liable tQ the severest censure of the people. Gover­ nor Beveridge has done a large amount of pardoning during his term of office, and should his friends attempt to force him upon the people a second time, this fact will certainly stare him in the face, and call for an explanation. ' MP*According to the annual report of business failures during the past year, just issued by Messrs.nl. G. Dun ACo's .Mercantile Agency, it appears that the number of failures in the United States wa« much larger than in previous years, while the proportionate liability is something less than the average. There were 7,740 failures in all; gross liabilities; $201.060,353; aver­ age liability #25,960. Of the failures, 1,335 occurred in the New England States, with total liabilities of $40,015, 164; 2,395 in the Middle States, liabili­ ties $82,522,346 ; 2,336 in the Western States, liabilities 336,473.864? 1.333 in the Southern States, liabilities§36.277,- T77. There were 630,000^business Arms in the country during the year, and only one in every eighty-two were un­ fortunate, which, all things considered, Is mot verv bad. PECULIAR SHOE LEATHER.--The Winchester (Kentucky) Journal says: uWe saw in this town Saturday a nice pair of shoes the vamps of which ivere made of rattlesnake hide, and the quarters of chickensnake hide. AK> several snakehides neately tanned, and three feet long and eight inches wide. They beiong to J. H. Henderson, who lives in '"Big Coon" in Jackson County. Alabama. He makes a speciality of catching all kinds of snakes, rattle­ snakes in particular, and without in­ juring or killing them, takes off their hides. These he tans, in about two months, and then makes them into shoes. He uses a weed which grows in the mountain, to 'mesmerize the snakes.7' ^ THE COURT HOUSE BLINDS, 3EDITOR PLAINDEALER: --Your corres­ pondent has got himself into trouble on the *4blind" questiou, and requires a little space to review "Peter Fair- play," whose name is certainly a mis­ nomer. He says "The blinds that Mr. Leminers proposed to furnish for the Court House w'»re to be purchased from a manufacturing company in Wiscon­ sin, who made a very inferior article, as shown by the blinds Mr. Leminers, put fn T. Whltson & Sons new build­ ing. an 1 otlMM's in the sains block." Now the former statement about the blinds being an inferior article is just as true as the latter, that Lennners put them in Whit-on's store, the fact being that the Whitsons bought the blinds direct from Putmau & Bkiir; they were hung It)-Mr. Brink and Eckler did the oiling and varnishing. Let "Peter show wherein this inferiority consists, if he can,"cjr he may have the company after him for injuring their .trade by publishing 4les alwwit their workor material. , He then says to put in these blinds, uwould reflect discredit upon our Coun­ ty Purchasing agent and the Board of "'Supervisors. Said agent, Mr. Elam M Lamb, than whom a closer fignrer can­ not be found, and who has saved this county hundreds of dollars during the past two years, has thoroughly inves­ tigated this matter, and finds that the blinds furnished by N. E. Blake, & Co. of Harvard, (such as they have already put up ir the Court Room and Circuit Clerks office) are far preferable consid- ering%ieir price, to the ones furnished from Wisconsin and put up by C. F Lemmers. Not only has Mr. Lamb con­ sulted his own judgement in this matter, but he lias the opinion and ad­ vise of some of the best mechanics and builders in the state,* Now, without having seen Mr . Lamb, we have no hesitation in saying that he has done no such thing, as to "•thoroughly inves­ tigate this matter." His offiee is un­ known to the law, and the Boa'd have no business to hire him, or any other man, to do their duty for them, and if the members of that Board are so great a pack of idiots as this "Peter" would make out when he says (in affect) they can't trust themselves to buy what must be bought each year without squandering at least one huhdred dollars per annum, they might better delegate all their powers to Mr. Lamb, and remain at home. There is no doubt that should "P^ter Fairplay" do so, the State of Seneca M ould be re­ spectably represented. To say that "Mr. Lamb consulted his own judg­ ment" in this matter is not true, for the Boaf-d ordered him to buy of Blake at a fixed price. This is only a pitiable attempt t% shift the responsibility of this steal, from "Peter's" to Mr. Lamb's shoulders. Besides we want the names of "some o1* the best mechanics and builders in the State." What Blake may now say, or offer to Mr. Lamb, or P. F., cuts no figure among men. This Peter has very fine eyes and a very fine jack-knife. This jack-knifahas a very fine blade if he means the*joints where the blinds were put together; and if he means the joints made in hanging them, he exhib­ its a vast amount af knowledge of that kind of work, as they were hung to'j close, as also were those in the Court House. As for the polishing of the blinds in the Court House, it is about equal to the rough side of No. 1 sand paper. lie say's, "can any one reasonably suppose that the Board of Supervisors, who have a committee on Public Build­ ings, an economical, honest and discreet Purchasing Agent, all of whom are pro pcrty ow ners and pay taxes, held ac­ countable for thoir public / acts to thrir constituents, would be parties to a swindle upom themselves." The committee on public buildings, had nothing more to do with the mat­ ter, of letting the job to Blake, than did the purchasing agent. For the rest he may consult "Boss Tweed.' Peter has not answered our questiou, or if eov it is not palpable to r-- Ol>l). V. •••••. Fanning In California.

B LETTER FROM NEBRASKA, EDITOR PLAINDEALERThinking it might be interesting to gome of your readers, to hear from this dug eaten American Desert, I will endeavor to state a few facts as I find them by per­ sonal observation, not hearsay. I will leave it with the Agents of interested Rail Road Companies to report the un­ rivaled fertility of the soil &c.. and the sensational reporters, of the Asso­ ciated Press, may represent the suffer­ ings of the hopper afflicted homested- ers, in as exagerated a manner as may seem to them necessary. I will try to confine myself to what I have seen here in Lancaster County. Our county seat is Lincoln, which fs also the Stat€| Capital; and is likely to 1 emain so^ as a clause in the new 'constitution; adopted by the last Fall election leaves the matter of moving the Capital with the people. Lincoln is a brisk business city with many fine buildings that would do credit to cities of far more advanced age. There are three Bail Roads running through the place, and the bonds are voted for another to extend direct to the lumber regions of the North West. The country is entirely devoid of fences, and timber is very scarce. The coal used is brought from Missouri and Kan­ sas and costs about #5,00 per ton by the car load, retailed at 7,50. The corn crop this year was good, and has brought from fifteen to twenty cents for seventy pounds on the ear. The average has been about 40 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. Wheat was a fair crop, but much of it was injured by rain after it was cut. The average price was about sixty cents per bushel. Oats were fair and sold for twenty cents. The weather is splendid. If we may take this wiuter as a sample this is the country for those too poor to buy fuel, as up to the present, last day of the year, the farmers are ploughing and a fire is scarcely necessary only for cook­ ing purposes. Some are using bom stalks with nothing else for fuel, and keep warm enough at that. With all its drawbacks the country is settling quite rapidly. The stubborn glebe keeps giving way befo^ the pig|jr of the persevering pioneer, till try has attained quite a c#t1%^pil appearance, and if money were a little more plenty times would not be quite so DULL.
