WHAT THE CONINtISSIONERS 4RE
DOING.
AT last the investigation is our. The
Auditors have adjusted the accounts of
the County Treasurer and made their re
port, which will be found in another
column. It will afford the general
reader anAidea of the financial workings
of the county government ; and .it will
chow the amount of money received and
paid out, but it will hardly give any ade
quate conception of the trials and temp
tations to.Nvhich they are exposed, who
have the management of our , county
affairs. This Call only be made
known through the publication of the
--testimony taken before the Auditors.
Through some oversight, this has
not been furnished, and it will,
therefore, be necessary "to give the
facts developed as, they are produced
from the memory of thostiPitto heard
' them. We will give a resume or the
matters, developed as far es they have
been reported to us, holding ‘ ourselves
ready to make any corrections, Or intriply

facts are at hand.
, Let it be known then, that awing -s tile

HarrisFwen — who - were — s'electett - by that
grand old Democratic party for their
integrity, -- prudence and capacity, t o
manage the affairs of the count 7, it be
came necessary to build fridges over
the Conodoguinet, near Taepburn's and
livers ; mills. The Commissioners had
at first promised woodwork of these
bridkes to N',,ssrs. Jacoby and Gracey,
of this 'county, but they afterwards coil- .
d''fted, for aubstanrial i'Msons, Jo give
it to the company which was to furnish
the iron. When they came to this con
clusion they found a difficulty in thi•.
wey.. The gentlemen who had the
promise of the woodwork considered the
contracts theirs, and refused, to give
them op. The Commissioners, or one of
• them, entered into negotiations 'with the
contractors, and offet'ed to give them
what would amount to the profits of their
contmels, if they would withdraw ;
and in order to lix the papers right
they would take the receipts for extra
pN - ments, made . foe tila_ltilding.uf the
piers. This arrangement, however,
didn't carry out, but the Commissioners
awarded the contracts to the iron
bridge company
The iron bridges
_ were arcordinglyconstructeritmnd that
contractor paid promptly. Messrs.
Jacoby and Graedy, theft employed
counsel, and - proposed to bring an ac
that against__ thp
.Commissioners, for
damages on account of the unfulfilled
-contracts. In the meantime the board
changed, Rhoads taking - the place
of Mr.. Ll-de whose term had expired,
In order to get rid of the snit, Rhoads'
.and Floyd signed orders on the
Treasurer of the county, for $1,400 in:
favor of Jacoby and Graecy, in satisfac
tion of their claims. Mr. 'Harris, who is
a most conscientious,e.ndgacious offi
cer, as will be shown hereafter, protested
against this arrangement, end made his
objection before the Auditor, to the al
'lowance of this voucher in the settle
ment of the Treasurer's account. This
was the origin of the trouble that has
kept the happy family in hot walor for
some time pa r st, and which 1 e made
the developmentA Which we now rise to

HARRISBURG- LETTER
HAMM I'll 6, rebilinry 7, 187,
As tli session advances_,bu,siness
kacreascs ni amount and importance, and
the last week has witnessed the intro
duction and debate of one or two mat
ters which are of great. general Interest - .
The session of the joint convention to
award the contract for State Printing,
adjourned over for two weeks - Without
taking any action. It is manifestli,the', -
iatention of the Legislature, not to make
a contract until they have passed a law,
which will 'prevent any printing to bo
paid for, at greater rates than those .
named in the contract. There is great
need for su \ ch a law.
It was supposed when iL was agreed
to have a record of the 'Legislative pro
ceedings printed, that than was an end
of trouble on that score. But this is not
the case. Having a. printed journal
would be useless, iinkm; it in distributed
to the people. To dathis, requires post
age stamps and wtapp_ors, and these
eta some money. This produced quite a
discussion,in both branches, and it has .
not yet been determined what allowance
will be made to the members, for the
postage one the . "Journals" they may
send to their constituents:
During tin, last session, an act was
passed autbezizing another law judge
for Schuylkill county. This was re
turned to the present. Legislature by the
Governor, without his approval, but on
the" reprzsentations of the Schuylkill
membei;s, that their premint judges were

The trouble connected with the De
partment of the Soldie rs' Orphans', may .
be regarded as virtually at an end. For
a very long Hine the re have been seri
ous charges made against Col. Merin.-
larol, the Superinte talent, but although
there have been two investigations into
his official lutsiness,llet_has.been honin—
ably acquitted of all charges. At the
last session, however, when lie was re
nominated bythe Governor, the Senate
refused to confirm his nomination— As
this was. at the those Of the session, no
other nomination vas made, and after
.the ex piratic!' of his commiskion, Col.
McFarland continnedito act as Superin
tendent ad interim. On Wednesday last,
Mr. 13itace, of Delaivare, introduced
bill transferring, the control of the Sol
diem' Orphans to the Department of
Common Schools.' This; bill was roferre(
w - ritlifirf.&ll it noit
day, and it was at once taken up and
wont to a third reading. At this point
debate came up; and during the. whole
of Thursday, the Senators viihrirated
their opinions concerning the manage
ment of the Soldiers' Orphans' Depart
ment. It was evident., from the first,
that the bill would pass. The Demo
cratic Senators were unanimously in
favor of it, and they had the assistance
of several Republicans, who were per
sonally hostile to Col. McFarland.
The Senate adjourned on Thursday
wthout taking any vote, and on the
same day Col. McFarland tendered his
"resignation to the Governor, to take
effect on the appointment and confirma
tion of his successor. On Friday morning
the Governor sent in the nomination of
Hon. James P. Wickersham, to perform
tire duties of Superintendent of Soldiers'
Orphans, in addition to his present
duties. The Senate postponed the con
sideration of the appointment, and went
on to tonisider the bill. before them.
Another debate ensued, which constuned
the whole session without renehing—a
vote. There is no doubt, however, that
the Senate will pass the bill. It will,
most likely, be defeated. in the
Wouse, now that Col. McFarland is out
of the way, as it will be somewhat diffi-
cult, particularly for Republic:tun tp
justify n vote whieh will abolish a Dc-
partnient, which has for its special care
tho education' aid maintain:thee of the
Soldiers' Orphans of Pennsylvania.
If the bill passes, of course the De
yartinents will be inetged, and if it dace
Mr. Wickersharm.will be confirmed
without doubt, mad-the result will lie
practically the same. It is doe to Co
. _
McFarland to say that the schools under
his management have been excellent, and
have reflected great credit on himself and
the State. He was an intelligent and
practical ofliedr, and performed his
duties with great earnestness and Indus
try. This was conceded by the San
tora who opposed his confirmation. It:is
needless to refer to •the popular clamor
against hint, as almost army one in: the
State is familiar with it. If it had twit--
dation it is somewhat remarkahle that
his—ritionsern-tlid—not-malcm . the - charges --
good before the Investigating Com,
inittee.
The House debated, at 'considerable
length, the bill calling a Coniititutional
ConventaVeWithout corning , td a Note,.
It fe very manifest, however, 'that the
majority of the Democracy, are Opposeil
to a Convention, .and it is almost certiin
'that thoso,.of them Who are in fa i ver'of
it, will be driven by party considerations,
te'such a course as will finally defeat it.
We have very little hope that a conven

ARMAND, NEBRASKA,
January 26, 1871. f
Mit EDITOR :—I will endeavor to jot
down a few seattering ideas of mine, in
regard to the condition and prosperity
of our new central State—Nebraska."
Nebraska is geographically located in
the central part of the United States,
and is not so far west as some folks
im
agine it is, although it extends from the
Big Muddy river, to the times of the - great
Mississippi Valley, one of the most fer
tile and productive valleys in the world.
Many of your readers have bat a vague
idea of our new mid .floer,lehing State—
Nebriti I, a. They havu not forgotten
their dreams during their school days,
of the Great American Desert, which,
doubtless, was looked upon as a second
Sahara. Rat such ideas have been dis
_cartled by every one who has ever crossed
Many persons . in traveling: through
the. State, nursing their preconcjived
ideas of it,_ftre_oftem_ heard to exclaim,
"how different ;" instead of looking out
on a barren desert, they behold a rich
rolling prairie, Which sends up a luxuri
ant growth of vegetation.
Thesarfaee soil...is a rich, dark login,.
compOed mostly .of decoml o yodeta
,tion,thile the subsoil inof alight brown
comp sition,`-with a sufficient quantity
after a heavy'rain, and has the peculiar
property of resisting both extreme wet
and continued drouth.
The winters aro short, and inilder than
elsewhere in the same latitude. The
atmosphere is light, dry and bracing,
and with the constant freezes peculiar
to thiisvtion,—which in summer time
itteatfied by the ic,P drafts of the Rocky
Mountains, and in Autumn is lapt to
warmth by the red tongue of the
prairie fires, which aro seen nightly in
almost any direction, conspire to make
it one of the most salubrious and healthy
States in the Union.
Lincoln, the capital, is situated on the
B. & M. R. R. in Nebraska, fifty-five
miles W. S. W. of Plattsmouth, on the
Missouri River, and sixty-seien miles S.
W. of Omaha. It is adjacent to the
great Suit Basin, apd„near one of the
most beautiful little streams of the great
West: viz Salt - Creek, the waters of which
aro as the name indicates. Lincoln has
.now a population of about twenty-five
hundred people and is rapidly him-eas
ing, haying doubled its population in the
last year.
Fear years ago where the town is now
situated, it was little more than one vast
Indian hunting ground. But the march
of civilization and improvement, have
banished the red men. further towards
the setting sun ; and now, instead, we
see a city, with nearly every branch of
. •
industry, with a good farming country
around it—the waving fields of grain,
and the neat and rural dwellingo of the
pioneer farmers.
Most of tlio .Stato buildings aro located
here—the State Univorsity and Agri
cultural College, • trio Asylum for the
"insane, the Penitentiary, as well as the
State House,a largo substantial structure,
occupying a sightly eminence, overlook
ing.the city.
The public buildings' aro pit up in a
good, substantial style, and speak well
for our infant capital. • •
The facilities for railroad communica..
tion. are good, and Lincoln will doubtless
beat no distant day, the great railroad
center-of the West. - Tbe B. and-M. 8.-
11., in Nebraska,ls completed, and in
running order, to .Lincoln, since July,
4870,:andis graded - to Dii"Witt, twenty
eight tulles farther, which will be laid
and finished the present year.
The Midland Pacific will intersect the
11. and M. here, of which Ilfteon miles
are already completed, Tainting from
Nebraska City. The B. antl• M. is to
run front Plattsmouth, on the 'Missouri
river, to a connection on the U. P. R. R.;
at or near Fort Karney, a distance of ono
hundred and_ ninety miles. It is virtu
ally a continuation of the B. and M. in
lowa, having the. same, 'President• an
Treasurer, but serinrato a■ a Corporation
Management, and practical workings.
The route ati far. as graded, is.through

of the track. • Quito frequently ectii be

. There is an idea - prevalent in the East,

and that" is, that Icebraike. is jet a
vast howling_wilderness, arid that a
man's hair is not very safe on his cra

Ti; is very true that the frontier settle
ments, two hundred miles west, in the
valley of the Republican river, need some
protection; but we are safe here and one
hundred miles west from Indians, as you
are, dear feeder, in 'your eastern home.
There aro no Indians to bo Been in East
crib Nebraska, except on their reserva

ones on a begging and thieving tour.
Immigrants aro coming in constantly,
