LDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1852, A TUNEFUL LIAR He Who Turns the C Gould's Official Organ, ke of A Fremonter's Compliments to the Beardloss Seribo Fresoxt, July 18 To the Editor of Ti Bxw: The juvenilo skull and crossbones who drawa a yearly stipend from Jay Gould for steering one of the handles to that wind scavenger—The Omaha Repnblican—and whose only recom- mondations for this honorable}(!) posi- tion were a lack of principle and an overwhelming amount of choek, has discovered something very startling in the declaration of principles of the Fremont anti-monopoly league. Now a8 theso principles are the same as adopted by the anti-monopoly conven- tion held at Lincoln last June, it is somewhat surprising that we have not heard from this corporation ‘‘toad stabber” before in regard to these principles. Ho has probably just re- coived word trom vay Gould to open his mouth, and in his endeavor to do as his master bid him, ho has opened it 80 wide that he has jammed his foot slap into it. He says the Fremont leagne is composed “of a dozen demo- crats and a couple of Rosewaters.” To commenco with, this is o contemptible Jie, and there is no question but that ho know ho was lying whon he penned those words. But ho is paid for doing this dirty work, and wo really expect thing better from him. This article of little over a column in length rotds so much like the arti cles that Mr. Viming used to write to the Fremont Tribune in roply to "Theron Nyo (the paternal ancestor of this rooster) that eannot doubt but that they co-descendant of a common progeuitor, I'ho arti- cles to which I refer wore written and published scveral years ago. Mr. Nye complained vory bittorly of the diserimination agaivst business men of Fremout by the Union Pac I+ way company. Tho ciscussion got to bo very Liot, ¥ Nyo reiterating his e [ 1 discrimina- fon an Viuing teplying with all 10 wavus i possible f anin his position. Does this 1oL of Jay Gould remcember these arlicles! Did he thiuk tben and doer he think now that his fathor was u *‘political conun- drum” for defending himself agamst this robbing institutiont Again, he says that Fremont has not suffered at the hands of railway companies, and again he knows be lies. Every farmer and every dealer in merchandise that ships a loaded car across the bridge at Omaha aud pays that toll of from five to ten dol- lars, suffors at the hauds of railway companies. In Council Bluffs, Towa, coal 18 being retailed at §3 650 por ton. We pay for the same articlo here in Fremout $6 per ton, OFf course this extra §2 50 per ton doos not tend to our disadvantage. On_the contrary, this is probably what gives to Fremont “‘the position of an important interior city, with a splendil market and largo business periormance,” “Oh! cousistoncy, thou art a jewel,” Again ho says: “However, if a genuine republican should happen to becomo imbued with anti-monopoly principles, it would be a good thing for lim to remember that his party is composed of honest men, &e,’ About the best thing for a citizen of Nebraska to remember is that he 1% represented in congress by a no- torionsly dishonest and corrupt third class pettifogger, and whose ‘name is Vaeotine, In connection with chis it would be quite as woll to remember also that The Omaha Republican has used and is using every means whother honorablo ‘or dishonorable, to whitowash this political cancer, and then has the brazen impudence to parado its filthy carcas before in- telligent people as an honest paper. Unquestionsbly there are honest en tu the republican party, as there | is in the democratic party, and these are the very men who are becom- ing awcmbers of the anti-monopoly loagucs and farmers’ alliances, They are moen who have not graced the iron colls of the Dudge county jail, They have never #old themselves body and soul o corrupt corporations, hoy are honest men, earning their living by the sweat of their brow. They are men who have been plundered of their hard-earned money by corpora- tion kings and their ‘ools. And, furthermore, they far outnumber ‘‘a dozen democrats and a couple of Rose- waters,” as Valentine and Fred, Nye will learn to their sorrow before the fall cuwipaign is over, Very truly yours, ANri-Moxsorony, - Aunti-Frohibition.

A bare majority of the fifteon mem. bors of thy judiciary committeo of the houso reported in effect that the lands of tho Northern Pacific ratlroad com- pany were non-forfeitable. Soven members of the committee, under the lead of Proctor Knott, dissent from this conclusion, As givon by The Now York Sun correspondent, the minority report scts forth that the Northern Pacific was chartered by act of congress approved June 4, 1864, in which a conditional grant of land was mado, estimatod by the auditor of railrond accountaat { 20,000 acres or 90,600 square miles.

Tho report intimates that the crash of 1873 was brought on by the ability of those interested in the rthern Paeitic to keep it longer afloat. The real value of its bondas was dieclosed thon, and they e tinued to decline until April, 1875, when the foreclosure proceedings were begunin Now York, Under deereo of the court the property and franchises were sold, aud purchasod by a committee for the bondholde; The bouds had the suit was bronght gone down befor to 20 conty on the dollar, and before the decreo to 14 centa.

The discrimination against Ameri- can hams has boen withdrawn in pany having been reorganized on a plan by which the bondholders were to be reimbursed for the principal and intereat on their bonds up to July 1, 1878, in preferred stock at par, enti- tled to 8 per cent. interest before other dividends were paid, these bonds to bo convertible into certain bonds bolonging to the company— preferred stock to the amount of §51,000,000 was issued to the holders of common stock in the old company, share for share, to the amount of $49,000,000. 1f the legality of these proceedings be admitted, says the report, the stockholders obtained §100,000,000 in preferred and common stock, with the franchises and property of the com- pany, including the right to 90,000 equare miles of land, at a probable outlay of twelve millions or less. The most prodigal genorosity could only allow the company a suflicient amount of land to enablo it to finish its road freo of cost. Eleven hundred and eighty miles of the road are now com- pleted, or 500 more than when the auditor's last report was made, This gives the road 27,800,000 exrned acres, Tho average price the land heretofore sold has urought has been $3 46 an acre, The lands already ecarned amount to $183,400,000, The auditor estimates the averago cost per mile at $28,000, and as there romain 60O miles to bo built, the cost will bo §49,840,- 000, Tf this sum be deducted from the £83,400,000, the ostimated worth of thy land already carned, the report argues that the company has already 1 enough to enable it to build ining lino free of cost, besides gotting $33,000,000 over and above, Again, the auditor reports that the wholo number of miles upon which the corpany is entitled over subsidy in 2,450, or 660 wmore than the com- mitteo cetimates the length of the main lino to be, The additional 660 miles, ut §28,000 a mile, would cost 818,760,000 over and above the cost of all the subsidized lines, main and stem, The suditor estimates the cost of the entire system of roads of the company at $75,000,000. This sub- tracted from the value of the land already carned leaves a $140,- 000, which the report calls a gift to the company over and above the cost of building the road. The report makes another estimate on the basis of $2 b0 an acre, and figures & gift to the company of $900,000 over and above the cost of constructicn on land already carned. The report suggosts that *‘this is enough to satisfy the cu- pidity of the company,” and this it gets boyond peradventure. But if there bo applied to auditor's estimates to the grant, earned and unearned, the result is that the land figured at §2 560 an acre is worth §144,800,000, The estimated total cost of the entire road is 874, 363,416, leaviug a balance of $70,376,- 084, which, the report says, is donated to this company in addition to the en- tire cost of the road, For this colos- sal gift it is suggested that the United States 1s never to receive one penny in return. In view of these facts, the roport very naturally recommends that all lands remaining uuearned on January 1, 1882, be forfeited to the United States.
