THE WEBBER PARDON.We said nothing last week of the

Omaha Herald's latest sensation, re-

lating to thp pardon of one Wehberby Governor, Farnos, because tlierowas upthjug before the public but nfew. anonymous letters from Fremontthe former residence of Webber, andth Herald'x attack on the Governor,winch lias been continued for the pasttwo years, renewed with increasedvindictivenees as often as the Gover-nor performs an official act, or visitsthe city of Omaha. We know nothingof the facts now and careless. Know- -

lngs we long have, however. GovFurnas' views on the matter of pardons, and the careful and prudentmanner in which he has heretoforeexercised that high prerogative, weare satisfied that he has good and sub-

stantial reasons for this act. The ideaof newspapers, or individuals, form-

ing and expressing opinions in rela-

tion to a 'matter of which they knownothing, is simply too absurd to beseriously entertained. Those who arenow. attacking, are, and always havebeen the political or personal oppo-

nents, or enemies, of the Governor.The animus Is easily understood l3'those at ajl familiar with the sur-rounding and circumstances. Theraare also some exceedingly mean nndcontemptible out-croppin- manifestin the matter. For instance a markedcopy of the Fremont Tribune, con-

taining an account of the disgracefuleffigy burning affair in Fremont byan irresponsible set of fellowfi, whoin no wise represent publio sentiment, is sent to Gov. Furnas' wife inBrownville, who has been an invalidfor a year past.

The constitution and laws of theState confering th,e pardoning powerupon the chief magistrate, requireshim to report all eases of pardon, withhis reasons therefor, to the GeneralAssembly. This will bo done, anduntil then, at least, there Is no goodreason for any one rending their un-

dergarments, about a matter, as wehave before said, of which they knownothing.

If the Herald, or its unknown correspondents know anything of a corrupti-ble character injthls matter, let themspeak out, and not fckulk "behind thebush" as they are doing. We havefaith in Gov. Furnas' administration,and believe he has sewed the peoplewith unbending integrity. And whilewe will not uphold him, or any otherofficial in wrong doing, wo want bet-ter testimony than that of the OmahaHerald or any of its hangors on, before we condemn or call in question.

A humiliating ease of refraction af-ter the election, has ocourred in HallCounty, Neb. One James White wasa candidate for County Commission-er, nnd circulated a report that his op-ponent, James Jackson, while com-

missioner had upon one occasion paidone dollar for some work done for thecounty, and then charged the countyten dollars for the same work, there-by swindling the county out of ninedollars. Since the election White pub-lished a card iu the Grand IslandTimes over his name, retractingthe charge, and acknowledging thatthe story was u He gotten up out ofwhole cloth for political effect

There were some cases in this coun-ty, during the recent campaign, of themost wilful and malicious lying ; theparties to which, we doubt notvuiiiiuuiuiy narrasseu oy me re-

proaches of guilty consciences. Themost prominent and barefaced oftheso cases, to our knowledge, vasthat in which tho attempt was madeby Josiah Winters, by his affidavit,to fasten a lie upon that estimable oldlady, the widow Dowliug. Wintersnnd Mrs. Dowlingare members of thesame church. She swore to what sheknew to be true, and then he, at thebidding of n politician in jeopardy,makes an affidavit opposed to the onemade by Mrs. bo wli tig, for tho solepurpose of making people believemat she had sworn to a lie. If Win-ters has a conscience it will lash himuntil he retracts or goes to the devil.

Hen A. S. Paddock spent an houror two in this city last Saturday, andwas the guest of Hon. H. C. Lett.We had not the pleasure of seeing Mr.Paddock, which wo very much re-gret, for he is a most pleasant gentle-ma- u,

and possesses the genial tact ofmaking even a common country editor feel "at home" in his presence andcorapauy. We learn that Mr. P. issanguine very well satisfied with hischances to be Nebraska's next Senator. That is good wo would rathersee our friends happy and hopefulthan despondent, and we. withoutmental reservation, declare that iuour opinion, should he be the luckyman, tne citizens of the State willnever have a reason to be ashamed ofTipton's successor. Iu this connec-tion wo will ay that we nre not"whooping It up" for any particularaspirant for Senatorial honors, thatwe love our State and common coun-- 1

try better than any man, and there-fore our supremo desire in the matteris for the election of a genuine Repub-lican. The interests of the people ofthis State, nnd of the United Statesdemand of tho next Legislature thatIt shall chooso an honest and capableRepublican for Senator, aud Mr. Pad-dock, as well as several other gentle-men named in connection with theolUce, would "fill the bill" ndmirably.

TKE TRUNK RAILROAD- - TO BE,BUILT TO BROWNVILLE.

B. t Ft. K. not to he finished Speedily.

THE TRUNK TO DIVERGE PROMTHE RIVER AT NEMAHA CITYi

We clip the following from theBlade:

We Iearu by private advices as alsothrough theBrownville Advertiserthat the county commissioners of Ne-

maha county have recalled their rail-road proposition recentlj' submitted tothe people of that county, proposingto vote bonds to the Midland Extension. We ore happy to be able to statethis action will not effect tbe buildingof the Trunk. R. TL to Brownvillebutporry to add that it nips all prospectof the sppedv completion of the B.Ft. K. & P. R. R. We also apprehendthat it will cuise the Trunk to divergefrom Nemaha City and run into Rich-ardson countv via Fulls City, insteadof along the line of-- the Missouri riverthrough Aspinwall nnd St. DeroinWell, in any event, Nemaha willhave a railroad, and enable Brown- -villians to come to Lincoln withoutchanging bulk or suffering

Tho reason why the road will beconstructed to Brownville is on no-cou- nt

of certain financial arrange-ments made, or ready to be made, bythe oity with Dr. Converse. The reason why other thing? named by theBlade will and will not occur, we canonly conjecture nt this time, but haveno doubt tho Blade speaks under-stnndingl- y,

if not advisedly on thesubject, ns "the Major" is at head-quarters and takes much luterest iuour railroad enterprises.

In what way the withdrawal of theproposition should interfere with theBrownville, Ft. Kearney nnd PacificRailroad we do not understand, fortho proposition was to vote bonds exclusively for the Trunk rond. It isprobable that Dr. Converte intendedto use those bonds, or a part of them,to finish up the road to Tecumseh, sothat it could be operating while theTrunk road was being made, and nothaving capital enough to completeboth roads without the aid demanded,the refusal to give that aid of course"nips all prospect of the speedy com-pletion of the B. Ft. K. & P. R. R."Whether this conjecture is correct ornot, the withdrawal of the .proposi-tion, according to the Blade, who is"able to state," "nips" all presentprospect of a speed j completion of thatroad, and this beingafae thie nip-ping process works a misfortune onthis city and a very large portion of thecounty.

W til regard to the Trunk Road di-

verging from tho river at Nemaha Cityand running direct to Falls City, it isvery reasonable to conclude that Dr.Converse, in the absence of n specialsubsidy contract to run his road on aspecified line, will run it on any linethat will be feasible and least expen-sive, and nobody can with proprietygrumble or claim to be wronged. Thebest route for the Trunk road will bealong the Missouri river until it reach-es Nemaha City. It could scarlely beconstructed on any other route with-out an immense outlay of money, hutthe cheapest route from that point toa connecting line is at present iudoubt, we believe, but it is generallyconceeded that a straight road to FallsCity would be much easier nudb, asit is much the shortest line, and ovpra splendid level trnot of country.While these advantages for buildingthe road on tho Falls City route pre-sent themselves, therenl Trunk route,

are along the river bunk, will not be ignored. The idea of a grand TrunkRailroad will not be lo.st sieht of to

n of road and an(, LInco, - 'tliepoints along theiver will be worthy

of consideration.Rather than have tho road diverge

from them, the of Aspinwalland St. Derain in this county, nndriver preeints in Richardson county,would, we doubt not, be willing togive reasonable subsidy to aid theconstruction of tho road. But in con-sideration of the object or design ofthis Trunk railway, for future time,as well as the we do not be-

lieve Its builders will diverge from the

As the withdrawal of our railroadbond proposition blasts all hope of aspeedy completion of tho BrownvilleFt. K. & P. R. II., as it seems, wewould suggest to county toseriously consider the matter of therenewal of the bonds in that countyfor said road. As Dr. Converse thinkshe can't, or will not finish that roadto Tecumseh without aid by subsidy.

county bonds would probab-abl- y

make him sufficient! v strono- -

and good at the same time,to enable him to complete that workto Tecumseh. The people out thereare suffering for competing road,and could its early completion be induced, impetus, the life, the re-newed vigor it would instill into everything in to all sorts business, the

tho country would be mostwonderful aud gratifying. We learnthat matters are rather stag-nant out there, and that the city ofTecumseh badly needs another push

we uelieve our suggestionIs the way to give itthat push. Wewould advise that country sameas we used to, before the A. & N. wasbuilt, that is if it can't do what Itwants to in the way it wants to.itshould do it neverthelsss if it pays.If it should pay better to buy a rail-rea- d

than to do without, whv nf. -- , - .. vcourse, buy it, every time, say we.

THE THIRD TEUM.The Cincinnati Gazette on the 31st

ult., published the following privateletter of Grant's which was never be-fore made public. In introducing theletter the Gazette says :

In 1872, when it was found thatGrant would be renominated, the re-port was circulated time, in view ofthe many groundless reDorts ns to hiuseeking the nomination, he would de-cline to be a candidate. So positivewere the reports upou this point, thatIn May 1S72, wo wrote him a privateletter on the subject, to which 11 replywas received, which nef--we are now

Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10thinst., saying that the managers of theGazette had decided to come outsquarely for my nomination at Phila-delphia, June 5th proximo, whenthey were met by the report that Iwould either decline hmnf n onr,,v,.date before the convention nr ronniHdecline after the nomination, was re-ceived last night, after leaving myoffice for the day. I caused a dispatchto be sent to you, to the effect thatthe report was without any authoritywhatever. I am not in the habit ofwriting letters on nolitinnl nnt.iontaand especially have I never written aletter calculated to influence a con-vention as to who should be the can-didates beforo it, or selected by it: butJ"ul n,or ib 01 Bucn a nature as toproperly demand au answer, moreparticularly as you say you will treatmy response as strictly confidential.Sow, I will say that I never pro-claimed myself a candidate, either be-fore the convention which met in

tins year, nor the con-vention which was held In Chicago.wui jCai0 uKu. x nave never writtena line, done an act nor, I believe I cansay with truth, entertained a thoughtcalculated to produce action by theRepublican party in favor of my pro-motion over that of any other man inIt who might be their choice. I donow, as I did four years ago, sincere- -' ueiiove mat tne Interests of thewhole country demand the success ofine itepu oilcan party. If deemed ad- -visaoie, l am willing to make anysacrifice to accomplish that success. Ifeel that I did make a saorifice in giv-ing up a high position o highlyprized by me, one created for me byan appreciative public, for which actlean never thank them BiifrloionH,.Now, if I can be of service to the par-ty that chose me, then I shall renderthat service conscientiously and to thebest of my ability. The personal sacri-fice made four years ago cannot bemade now.

With great respeot,Your obedient servant,

PAWNEES.

They Ledve Their Reservation. AndWant a Home in the Territory. S3 0,000 Acres at Iiand for Settlement1.

As stated In the Times a week ortwo since, it has been known thatgrant uneasiness and dissatisfactionhas prevailed among the Pawneesfor some time, aud week before lastabout forty lodges or families with aiur. opooner as interpreter nasseuthrough this city en route for the In-dian territory. They desire to seek ahome east of the reservation of theWichitah'a near Ft. Sill in that ter-ritory which tribe the interpreterstates is a band of their own nation,the Pawnees, the same as the Skeedybaud unci other bands of the sametribe.

They also desire to have their res-ervnti- on

sold and the proceeds thereof devoted to their benefit in theirnew home. It is a matter of congrat-ulation that their management by the(Quakers naa been such as to Inducethem to leave their reservation nndtho state. It is probnbly thnt byspring the whole tribe with the ex-ception of n few of the aged, decrepitanu linirui, win nave aoanaoneutheir reservation entirely.

The question of how shall the reser-vation be disposed of? Is one whichinterests the people of the wholeState. It is a well known fact thatthe possession of large or smallbodies of land by speculators andnon-residen- ts Is a damage to anycommunity, greatly retarding itsgrowth nnd development. Theirlands are increased in value andthemselves made rich by the laborand improvments of others with-out anv adequate return on theirpart.

Tn behalf therefore of the people ofthe entire State, wo demand that thisreservation shall be disposed of, thaiit shalt be obtained by actual settlersonlu. uuder the nre-emvti- on laws ofthe United States. People, not landmakes the state rich. Whatever maybe the price agreed upon, It should inno instance be more than $2.50 peracre for unbroken and unimprovedland, while lands that have buildingsand improvements can be sold at anappraised valuation but in every instance to actual settlers only .

We judge that from $1.25 to $2.50for the unimproved land would be afair valuation and at these priceswould induce rapid settlement.

The location of this reserve is wellknown It is in the Loup Valley di-rectly north of Merrick county.Lone Tree, and Clark's station on theU. P railroad are the nearest pointsof access. Grand Island Times.

CAPl'UKE OF A XOTED DESPERADO.

One of the Grayson liobbers run toEarth, and Arrested In Texas.

An account of a bold aud dastard-ly robbery, committed at the houseof "old man Gravson." near NorthFork Station, iu the Creek nation,about fourteen months ago, was pub-lished in the Jicpublican at that time.This old man, a member of the Creeknation, had lived an industrious andfrugal life, and had laid by a anuirsum of gold to keep him easy iu hisold age. Seme days before the rob-bery there came to his place two trav-elers, foot-sor- e and weary, aud theold man, with the hospitality whichunaracterizes nis race, took the trav-elers in. The night the robbery wascommitted these men were in hishuse. and when the robbers cameand made u noise nt the door, one ofthem opened it for them to enter.

ine villains made a pretence ofguarding the two strangers in Gray-son's house, and then tooh theold man out nnd hung him up by theneck until he was nearly dead. Thisoperation was, repeated six times be-fore the old man revealed the placewhere his treasures were hid. Thatascertained, the robbers secured30,000 in .coin, and taking the lodger, who had all the time been inleague with them, along, they depart-ed.

Time rolled on. Tho old manmourned his Ioas, buv no clue or ti-dings of the perpetrators of the outrage were obtained or hpfinl. Thwere gone aud so was Grayson'sgold.

But the officers of the law wereworking the matter up. Finally thenames and characters of the men be-came known. sme two month a ngoone of them, known as a desporadoof prowess and courage, called JimKeed, who was implicated iu thestage robbery between San Antoniouiiu Ausiiu, was tracked to the hauntshe frequented in the Indian Territoryaud in the attempt to capture him hewas killed by an officer. This Reedwa3 regarded as oneof the shrewdest,raot daring and dangerous of all theborder knights of the road. Hp wna man of education and could slmilatethe rannnera and bearings of a gentle- -

He had a home some eight milefrom Dallas, and in that home hadgathered many of the elegancies ofa refined life. His wife was a ladyof education and training, but strangeas it may appear sympathized withunu ueienuea ner hushnnri with i,daring of a man, and the faith anddevotion of a woman. Reed wasthe leader of a robber band who car-ried away the treasures of old manGrayson.
