OxEof the strongest arguments against the Constitution presented to the people of Nebrasks, was that it contained a provision for taxing all the Church property of the State.— Republican. * We are aware that the Church taxation bugaboo was very effeetu- ally handled by the Republican in its efforts to defeat the new Consti- tution. It was mainly used to cover the tragks of the monopolists who had bought up the Republican for the purpose of defeating a measure that threatened to deprive them of their supremacy in this State. It was_this howl about Sxing graveyards and churches, that ena- bled demagoues like the clerical editor of the Republican, to play upon popular prejudices, bred of ig- norance and stupidity. The facts are patent that taxation to be just must be unlversal. Why prate about the injustice of taxing cemeteries, when we can point to one cemetery near this city that yields a greater income to its owner than any property of similar valuation within the eity limits? Why should wealthy men who seek to glorify themselves by building costly churches be exempted when the cottage of the poorest working- anan s taxed ? It is proper enough to compel people to pay a school tax, but why do you seek to compel them to pay achurch tax? A case in point has just reached us through the Beatice Ezpres. - From that journal we learn that “a petition was presented | to the Commissioners of Gage county, last Tuesday, by Capt. | Ashby, asking that the property belonging to the different churches g in the city be placed on _the assess- ment books. The petition sets forth, in general, that the Consti- tation forbids the exemption from | taxation of the property of corpora- tions; &nd in particular that the Presbyterian church building is leased for profit, which excludes it | from the benefit of the exemption | provided by the statutes. The commissioners have taken theease under advisament. The Beatrice Express admits that our constitution is in direet conffict with the statute concerning exemp- tions. The case quoted above in- volves the exemplion of property owned by the Presbyterian Church, and leased by them to parties.

Like our now somewhat notorious City Treasurer, he did not poll as many votes as his antagonist, but he man- aged to count him out by unfriendly legislation. Now that the courts have finally ousted him, he again seeks to resume his sway by appealing to the Legislature. His assurance to President Grant of his willingness to submit peacea- bly to the decision made by the Legislature is very characteristic. He knows the Legislature will de- cide In his favor and he can afford HONEY FOR THE LADIES. Straining _ sweetness — Kissing through a veil.

(Special Currespondence of theBEE) A few years ago, when the great trans-continental railway scheme, now a thing of the past, was strug- gling toward the light, Nebraska was comparatively unknown, and the few who were sufficiently in- | formed of the rarg fertility of its | soil to speak boldly in its favor | were regarded as mercenary spec- lators, who hoped to reap fortunes by making dupes of those who were foolish enough to emigrate thither. Slow-paced truth seemed to have forgotten her walk as the territory | of Nebraska drew slowly toward public recognition. Ameriean youth and middleage, educated that this “whole country wasa desert | devoid of soil, too barren to produce even a stunted timber growth; a sun-parched plateau above the re- | gion of rain, uninhabited and un- | | inbabitable, were slow to believe | that their books and teachers erred, | and that in reality this elevated | plain, overscored with numberless | water courses was the most fertile, | bounteous ind hexlthy of all nature’s | dominion. | A rival to the southward, made prominent by the force of circum- Stan advertised over the whole world by the struggle then enacting within her borders between the clashing interests of freedom and slavery, secured the attention of | lovers® of freedom everywhere (all emigrants are_such)” and for the time overshadowed this territory already free, and drew toward her- self the strongest current of immi- gration. But there came a time; it was when the U.P.R. R. took definite shape and started from Omaha on along, and by many con- sidered, doubtful journey toward the setting sun, when the world looked | again upon our wide prairies and broad valleys and saw that they were -exteedingly fair. Whoever looks upon it acknowledges that the Platte Valley is the finest agri- cultural spot on the face of the | earth. Varying from twenty to fifty | miles in width, it has no marshes as it is everywhere from ten to forty feet above the rapidly flowing river, decending toward the Missouri with an_even fall of about six feet to the mile, for the whole distance from North Platte, where the two main sources unite to its mouth, three hundred and seventy-five miles, and nearly two thousand feet be low. Every foot of land in this valley, nearly ten- million acres in one body, is rich as the oldest garden in the world, and betore broken by the | settlers’ plow, was clothed witha strong thick growth of grass from one to four feet in heighth, which billowed under the breeze like an jmmense field of waving grain. There Is not an acre in the whole area—larger than some of the East- ern States—but that is succeptible of easy eultivation, and its entire sur- face is so smooth that a mowing machime may be run over every square foot as easily, and cutting as | | ow of the Gennesee or Connecticut Valleys, where generation succeed- ing generation, has exhgusted its strength_in making an artificial farm. The U. P. Raikoad runs through its entirelength, bringingto the settler’s door, all requisites for ilding the cottar’s home, or fur- nishing the wealthy planter’s man- sion; carrying to the east or west— whichever pays the highest price— the productions of soil and labor. The Government granted this road | each alternate section of the land within twenty miles each way | along its line ‘through this valley, and reserved the other sections for actual settlers. The government sections have nearly all been taken up, and cultivated more orless fully cut from Bigham’s scalp. varied. Whole nosegays are worn on the head; beetles, tlies, butterflies, and birds are less fashionable than tufts of daffodils, primroses, wall flowers, and Parma violets. Chatelaines for parasols, fans, ete. are become articles of expensive luxury. They consist, usually, of short chain of ivory, mother of pearl, or oxydized silver, furnished on the Iower rings with hooks which serve for holding the articles tobe carried. lion pin or rosette of the same ma- hook belt, while a elasp or secures it there. short or trained, have the fulness being sewn to the side seams for this purpose. The front and side breadths are gored; the slope of each toward the back, and hollowed out at the top, s as to fit the waist and set closely on the hips. This is dif- ficult to fla and a well cut pattern is a great desideratum, as all skirts are cut in the same manner, what~ ever may be the trimmings arranged afterward. A Buffalo street car conductor re- fused to permit a female in “bloom- er costume” to ride on his ¢ar, be- lieving ber to be a_woman in man’sclothes. The ehse was car- ried to court, when ti® conductor’s counsel stated that there was an ordinance against a female wearing s man's dress, and thought that worn by the woman came very nesr to it. The justice, however, held that the “bioomer” was a female ‘costume.

These lands can be_bought so low fhat the price is hardly worth men- tioning—from $3 to $8 per acre on ten years time according to loca- near or remote from. the The original grant was about 4,500, 000 aeres, of which but one million have been sold, and _though there is yet so much land unsold, the country is actually more thickly settled fhan many portions of the very oldest States. The Government sections which have settlers on them comprise more of the country and embrace more cultivated farms than it is possible to find in any equal area in the agricultural distriets of the New England States, New York or Penn- vania. And at the same time chemillions of acres given to the railroad_ do not cover so large an | area in this country as is wasted in the uscless mountains, rocky ridges, | vast marshes, and immense forests in the States mentioned..
