The Grant and Colfax Club holds a meeting at London next "Wednesday night. A rousing time may be expec ted. Sneakers from Brownville and Peru are invited to address them. Let there be a general turn out Ex-Senator Green, formerly of Mis pouri, and at one time the most formid able rival of Stephen A. Douglas, has been lately picked up in the streets of New Orleans in a sick and destitute condition, brought on by a free use of ardent epirits. A meeting has been called by the "War Democrats of New York city, to organize for the support of Grant and Colfax. They are not prepared to go back on their war record by contribu ting their means and influence to in augurate another civil war. .' Tipton and Ilewett ppoko to a Crowded house of Republicans and Democrats at Nemaha City last Mon day night. The club is working lively and send for extra copies of the Adver tiser. That's right, gentlemen, you will find the columns of our paper right on the main question. Is there a precinct in this county without a registrar? "Will the old re gistrars act? If not, or if there is a vacancy, please give immediate notice to this Sice, that we may secure the Appointment of some good, active man Jn time. Remember that delays are dangerous. John Morrispy is forfeiting his seat in Congress from the Fourth New York City District, by betting in favor rf the election of Grant and Colfax, lie would much prefer the election of Heymour and Blair, but his judgment is they are bound to be defeated, and he bets as his judgment dictates; be cause he will not risk his money on the Seymour-Blair Ticket, the Democ racy of that district are looking for a man who will. f The. Govcnor will address the Grant and Colfax Club of Brownville to-night at Mcrhersons new Hall. The ladies are preparing to fill up the house, the gentlemen will have to come early to get a scat. The hall will not comfor tably hold more than fifteen hundred. Ladies, turn out, one and all, and here the Govenor. Platforms will be built out arround the windows and doors if necessary to accomodate all that come. The Club in Benton Precinct, met at Henry Stienman's School House on last Priday night. It wa3 addressed in German by Louis "NValtders and in English by N.M. Holtzinger and the Hon. 8. M. Rich, of Brownville. The Germans ppeak in the highest terms of the speach of Mr. "WaRder, as they also do of the two gentlemen that fol lowed him. They have a large club in this precinct, and are working earnestly for the success of the whole ticket We .have no more public spirited and thriving class of .settlers in our county than are to be found in .Benton and "Washington precincts, and none that will roll up better re publican majorities than they.. They live in their adopted country for their country's good, and like all thriving cnterprisingpermanent settlers, prefer peace, prosperity, and Republican supremacy to revolution, repudiation And Democratic anarchy. We notice that they always vote the Republican ticket. All Euch, do. in ..We attended a grand. Republican Demonstration at Plattsniouthon the afternoon and evening of the lltlu Speaches were roado by Maj. Taffer Gov. Buttler, Gov. Sanders, Gen. Strickland, J. I. Redick, Mr. Cowan, Maj. Strunk, J. S. Church, and Judge O. P. Mason, to attentive audiences. "The Republicans of Plattsmouth are wide awake and are doing work which must make its mark in the fall cam paign. Besides the citizens of Platts mouth many of the leading men of the State were in attendence. The four and six. horse teams with the national flag flying, and their cheers as they, arrived in front of the court house reminds one of the good old hard cider times of 1S10. Republicans are in earnest the country through. The feigns of the times are ominous of evil, unless the Republican . condidates. are no triumphantly, elected as to cow down all oposition to the onward march of reconstruction. , The voters know it, and feel it, and hence the eu thusiasm for Grant and Colfax . Registration. The law requires all registrars torn rA in some convenient place in the r : cinct, of which they are a legal vet cr, the seventh day of Ser tern' : year, at 9 o'clock, A. 1 1 , , : . . r.is. given ten days notice of the ti: t.r. . place of meeting,' by public:; : some newspaper ' published iu t3. county in which said registration U t: be made. The said registrars are tojeon tinue in session three days, if they do not sooner complete the list. "When in session they are to register 1st. All such as they know to be legal voters ; 2nd. All such as prove themselves to be legal voters ; Srd. All such as will be legal voters by the day of election. To the last two.the oath in section three must be administered, and then record the facts as therein set forth, of age, place of birth, &c. No foreigner. Is entitled to registra tion until he presents his naturaliza tion papers, when the registrar must rndorse on said paper, "the date of their exhibition." In case the papers are mislaid or lost, the fact of naturali zation may be proved by his oath and that of others. The-registrar, before the 4th Monday in September, must post up three alphabetical lists of regis tered voters in such places in the pre cinct as he may think proper, notify ing all persons to appear before him on the Monday and Tuesday preceding fhe day of election, and correct any " omission, or other error in said list;" after which, the list shall be finally closed, and one copy filed with the Countv Clerk and the other copy shall be-Slivered to tip.' judges of the elec tion. By the action of the State Central Committee at : t s recent session at Tlatts mouth, the Slate was subdivided into three district?, or.e composed of the Nemaha Lai;d District, . with head quarters at Brownville; one composed of the ballance of the State south of of the Platte river, headquarters 'at ri Jttsmouth ; and one of that part of the State, north of. the Platte, with headquarters at Omaha. That portion of the State .Central Committee living in each of these sub districts, are to organize by the elec tion of a chairman and secretary. The duties devolving uponhese sub-committees are to see that there is a club organization in each precinct, and that regular reports are made to the Chair man of the County Central Committee, and from him to the Chairman of the Sub-Committee, and from him to the Chairman of the State Central Com mittee. The member of the State Central Committee in each county must see to it that his county is well organized; that the clubs and the Cen tral Committee for the county in which he lives are industriously and harmo niously at work, and that reports are frequently made to these headquar ters. He must immediately make out a list of places in his county where it would be desirable to hold political meetings, so that tlie State Central Committee may make such appoint ments as are thought desirable, and provide for the attendance of speakers. The committee for this sub-district, or ganized by the appointment of Jarvis S. Church, Chairman, and Col. Hin- man Rhodes, Secretary. We will first request of the chairman of each County Central Committee to see if there is a registrar in each organ ized precinct, and to see if he has given the proper notice of the time and place of registration, to send us the name and post-office address of each presi ding officer of the clubs in his county, as we wish to furnish them with blank reports. Should there be any register office vacant, or any who refuse longer to act, find some good, true, energetic man who will, and send his name up to the Governor immediately for ap pointment. We hope the chairmen of these county committees will see the necessity of immediate and prompt action. Cage County. . The Republicans of Beatrice Precinct met at 2 o'clock, P. M., on the 12th inst, and organized a Grant and Col fax Club. There are now sixty mem nLkts, and there will probably be sixty more added in this precinct. Similar clubs are being organized in each pre cinct in the county. . After the organization, the meeting was addressed by Messrs. Ilewett, Tip ton, Presson and Cropsey ; after which three rousing cheers were given for Grant and Colfax, and the meeting adjourned till 7 J o'clock, when speeches were made bv Tipton. Croppy and rrcsson. Both meetings were well at tended. The ladies come 6ut in the evening, which added to the interest and good cheer of the occasion. The Republicans of Gage county purpose making a record at the coming elec tion which will redound to their credit. O. T. Sabbath School Convention. The Sabbath School Convention of the M. E. Church, Nebraska City Dis trict, met at Pawnee city, August 12th, and continued to the 14th.. The convention proceded to perma nent organization by the election of officers. A resolution was unanimously adopted, requesting our book agents to establish a branch Sabbath school book depository at some prominent point in Nebraska, with at least two thousand dollars worth of books, to obviate such long delays in getting re turns as we have been subject to in the past. There were about thirty delegates in attendance, all seeming to be alive to the interests of the Sunday school. The delegates unanimously ex pressed their thanks for the kind re ception and liberal entertainment given by the citizens of Tawnee and vicinity. The choir very efficiently performed their part of the exercises, giving life and energy to the transaction of busi ness. Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock, George S.

They have th' requested their " frien! and South to..b- think and propf .Jvase, but to say hot.. until the time ehall come to act. Here is what the Charleston Murcury, of the 30th. ult saj-s : ' ; "Private advice from our most strenuous friends at the North request that we should protest against the imprudent expressions that have es cape some Southern speakers since the adjournment of the National ' Dem ocratic convention. It is represented to us that the great injury is accruing to the cause from such imprudence. We therefore shall make no apologies for asking the attention of our public speakers to the fact. We are all de sirous of pushing on the good work of success, and no one would voluntary impede its course who was aware of the fact. While no man in the South should be, and no true man is ashamed of our great lost cause, and while we speak of the past, we should speak like true men, it is q uestionable wheth er at this time anything is to be gained by too much reference to things that jar on people's nerves..

We have the power. Do not let us unnecessarily fritter it away in uaavaling skirmishing and heed less, -thoughtless,' scattered assaults. Let us work and speak to win." On last Friday afternoon we left our " case and stick," and took our brass piece and place in the band wagon, in company with ten other " blowers' ' and were soon on the road to Hamburg, in southwestern Iowa, to do the music for a Democratic "pow-wow," to come off there on the next day. We had been drilling for months on all the na tional airs, marches, and the usual pieces plaj-ed by brass bands, but in our simplicity we had forgotten to write out and play "Dixie," "My Maryland,"1 and the like ; and to our surprise, we were expected to play Dixie first, last, and all the time. So Smith wrote out the several parts of Dixie for the band, and here allow me to say, iu behalf of the band, that be fore that Democratic meeting was over our practice on that tune was ample, sufficient and frequent; and now it can no longer be said that the Brown ville Brass Band do not know how to play at least one rebel air. The meeting was held in the grove east of the town and was addressed by Hadlcy D. Johnson, of Omaha, J. S. Morton, of Nebraska city, and Mont gomery, of the Council Blufls Demo crat. During a portion of the day there was flying, from an unfinished brick btorc, at the smith end of Main street, a small rebel flag.- We did not learn how it came to be taken down. The speeches were pregnant with the worst sort of treason ; charging Republicans -w ith putting down rebellion, as if it were a crime to destroy life, property, or spend a dime in putting down a Democratic rebellion. The only po licy of treating treason which they approved,, was tho " all quiet along the Potomac," way, detaching large numbers of Union men to stand guard in drenching storm over "Arlington House ;" sending back in chains all Union men coming into our lines from the South. They find no fault with this, because by it rebellion would have been successful. In short they charge the Republicans with the fact that they would not tie their hands behind them, shut their mouths and lock up their purses during the whole rebellion, or until the Southern rebels and Northern Copperheads had ar ranged to set the loyal North at liberty. The drift of their speeches and dis courses were whining cant, and melan cholly, and acrimonious complaints of every measure the tendency of which was to maintain tfie Union and re store the Rebel States to their normal condition in the Government under Union leaders. In common parlance, the Democracy have " soured " on the Union and all that is necessary to per pctuateit. At last the exercises closed, and the band took their pay and left for Brownville A Rebel Colonel made a speech not many miles from Brownville one night last week, and in speaking of the great Republican party, he made use of the following expression i " We arraign them in the name of our own dearly beloved Confederate dead cheers, whose bones are strewn all over the Southwest, killed in battle by the atrocious cruelty of the Radical Government. Cheers." Ah! ha! charge Republicans with killing your "Confederate dead," do you ? Who did the members of the Conservative Soldier's and Sailor's Convention which met in New York, in July last, kill?. Did they ever in jure one of your dearly beloved Con federate dead?" Oh, no, they, were mostly on the rebel side. Wo have ntard it said that as many Democrats a3 Republicans went into the army. Did any one ever believe it? This rebel colonel evidently did not. , ' Nemaha City, 1 August 10th, 18G3. Mr. Editor: The Grant and Col fax Club, of this place, held their weekly meeting, Monday evening. I August 10th.

Those who re fuse or fail to devote their time, means, and talent,' to the elevation of the standard of instruction in our common schools, can . have little interest as teachers, further than to obtain their monthly orquarterly pay.. Such make poor teachers, and in the end, fail, and are pushed back into some les3 remu nerative pursuits. The good . teacher will lose no opportunity to make him self better, and there is no place where so much can be gained in so short a time as at one of our well conducted Teachers' Associations.

Tuition in Normal and ..Seminary departments, $8; in primary, departr ment, $; room rent, $4 per scholar ; board, $3 per week; students must bring all their own furniture: .We think no one can reasonably complain of the expenses of this school. Beard cannot be obtained in private families or 'hotels for less than $4.50, from that to $t per week. .Young men can board themselves if they choose, and thus live as cheap as they please. Next term we expect to have four or five teachers employed, so that we will be able to give students a much better chance than heretofore. While we are ready to teach any branch of study . that may be called for by a sufficient number of students to form a class, we expect to pa y attention to the education and training of teachers. We are confident that one term's train ing will be of almost incalculable ben efit to the young man or woman who expects to teach the coming winter. Let the school directors look to it that no incompetent teacher is allowed to take charge of the common school. There is no good excuse now for em ploying incompetent teachers. With a little energy on the part of those who are seeking employment as teachers, they may receive a drill that will qual ify them to do well. The State has opened a school ex pressly for them,' and expects to make it all that any reasonable person can ask for; but it must be sustained by the people ; it will be useless to afford the means for thorough training unless they be made use of. Let it be made a necessity for young men and women who expect to teach, to spend at least one term in the Normal School. In accordance with notice, tho vo ters of Glen Rock Precinct assembled at the school house in Glen Rock on the evening of August 18th. S. P. Majors was elected temporary Chairman, and Nathan Meadcr, Sec retary.

Washington, June Sth, 1. ; J Sir: In pursuance to a purpose ,,r -frff-nd for several months, I hereby tender ycu the resig nation of mv cilice, to take ehoct upon the qualification of my successor, nom inated by yourself and confirmed by the Senate. Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The President, anxious to get rid of Commissioner Rollins, and the Senate unwilling to confirm Senator Hender son's puppet, resorts to nis law omcer for an opinion as a tasis oi acuou, wri ting him as follows: " Under thee cir cumstances thefollowing questions are presented for you consideration. First Is the office of Commissioner of In ternal Revenue vacant? Second If the office is vacant, when did the va cancy occur, and can a successor to Mr. Rollins beSppointed during the recess of the Senate?" Mr. Evarts, the Attorney General, replies that he has Investigated "the law," and the "evidence," as pre sented' by the latter, and the Acts of Congress in relation to the tenure of civil offices, and is constrained to in form the President that the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue is not vacant, nor will be until his suc cessor is not only appointed, but con finne'J.

O. li. President Davis visited Scotland county on Monday last to get some change made in the subscription of that county to render it more availa ble and the bonds more desirable, in the market. It was a matter of doubt as to whether the County Court would make the change without instructions from the people, though all agreed that as the Court had imposed the condit ions it could alter them. A large mass meeting was organized Composed of citizens from all parts of the county, when Mr. Davis delivered an interesting address, showing thaf the charge desired was of mutual ad vantage to the county and railroad company. Resolutions wrere unanim ously adopted instructing the Court to make the change which - Jresiaent Davis asked. The Court immediately convened and made the sired. change de At night a mass meeting of the cit izens of Memphis -was held at the court house, when Mr. Davis told them he wanted $2500 in warrants of their town for immediate use for the road. Resolutions were unanimously adopted instructing the Town Council to make the appropriation. At 8 oclock next morning the Council niet and unanimously voted the' amount, subject to Mr. Davis' order. The same day he addressed the cit izens of Washington township, Clark county, at Fairmont, and a petition was drawn up and numerously signed praying the County court to order special election under an act of our .Legislature, approved March, 18b8, authorizing any township or. portion of a county to vote on themselves subscription for railroads. They pledg ed Mr. Davis $30,000, and say their people are nearly unanimous for it, Mr. Davis' trip was a pleasant anel successful one, and he is in the high est spirits.

Brown, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, who had charge of the funeral arrangements on the part of the family ofthe deceased, and General Michler, Commander of Public Buildings, were on hand at an early hour perfecting all arrangements for the services. The pall bearers were eight gentlemen from Lancaster county J. M. Park, Sam uel Houston, J. S. Strodieur, J. Jen kins. Jacob J. Cross, E. S. Prostus, W. F. Martin, and J. O. Easton, ac companied the . remains. They, will act as pall bearers till the body reaches Lancaster, in the rear ot them a guard of the Butler Zouaves, with side arms. At the head ofthe cofiin, places were arranged for the family of the deceased. Senators Trumbull anel Sumner, and a committee from the Washington Council were present, and joined in the procession, ard shortly afterwards the ministers, at tending physicians, and the . family and servants. Eleven Sisters of Char ity, from the Providence hospital were present during the service, at the con clusion of which, the procession of friends and mourners moved to the Baltimore depot. The hearse contain ing the remains was elrawn by four white horses. The route of the proces sion wras lined with spectators. On the arrival at the depot the remains were deposited in a car engaged for that purpose, when all intending to accompany them, secured seats in the train. A very large crowd assembled at the depot at 10 o'clock, and as the train moved off they dispersed. The IntcUi'jcnccr this morning has two columns of editorial severely cri ticising Mr. Evart's opinion in the Rollins case. The argument that the Attorney General's wits are unsound, is supposed to reflect the views of the President. Indian right on Hie Kepubll cau Kiver.

Washington, August 14. In the course of Dr. Gray's remarks delivered at tho funeral ceremonies of Thaddeus Stevens, to-day, he said that the hero who finished his career at St. Helena, extraordinary as he was. is a far more common element in the world's existence and in the chapter of God's events, than he who slept in the colhn this day in tne Capitol. Mr Stevens, he declared, was delegated as the world's apostle of human libertv. and well did he fulfi his commission. For the past few years he had exerted upon the nation a mere powerful influence than any one man had ever done in the govern ment before. .Washington. Aug. 14. A statement ofthe facts concerning Texas cattle disease made by J. Dodge statistician of the department or agri culture, as the result of an extended investigation, makes the following points: lt. That, thn disease is communi cated bv cattle from Toxa, Florida, and other portions of the Gulf coast. 2d. That such eiiscase is itself un knrvu-n in Tpyfisnrnn the Gulf coast 3d. That the cattle communicating it are not only apparently neaimj, but generly improving in amuiuvu. 4th. That while local herds receiv ing the infection nearly all die, they never communicate disease to others. 5th. That either a considerable in crease in elevation or a distance of two or three degrees of latitude from the starting point, is necessary to develop the vinia into activity and virulency and a further progress of two degrees of latitude, and a few .weeks, more time is sufficient to eliminate poison from the system. . . Cth. That Texas cattle, removed to other miasmetic sections, as tne isippi bottoms up to the ibia parang. communicate no Infection io n-ai herds. x- ' , , 7th. Medication has tnus iar vwu of no avail. ... It concludes that the disease cannot become general, that it can exist only with the movements ot leias eame, which should be regulated or sup pressed, and that it does not result from travel but from climatic causes.

Wasiiinovon, Aug. 13. Minister Rosecrans will not sail for Mexieo before October, as ho does hot wish to land at Vera Cruz during the yellow fever season. :It is generally understood thr.t Gen.' Rosecrans will represent an entirely new line of pol icy with reference to Mexican affairs, and that every efibrt will now be dir ected by our Government toward se curing a controlling influence in that country. It is'known that Mr.' Seward and the President have always disagreed about the Mexican questions, but the influence of the former has hitherto prevailed. Gen. Rosecrans will now be the exponent of a more active policy. , Gen. Koutz is ordered to accompany Gen. Rosecrans to Mexica ns a milit ary and diplomatic agent.- He will do what two years ago. It is thought probable that an open rupture v.lli occur between Mr. John son and Mr. Evarts, as it is known that the Pre.-ident does not agree with the Attorney General Upon many point-. He especially dislikes his opinion in the Rollins ca.-e. 03IAIIA, Aug. 18. An accident occurred , on the U. P. R. R. yesterday. A construction train was backing toward Fremont station, and when within three miles of that town ran over a cow. The caboose car was thrown off the track and five men killed and twelve wounded. Two of the wounded died to-day. They were all employers of the road. - The weather is very warm. Nashville, Aug. 1R.' Last night, about 12 o'clock, aparty of masked horsemen, some 1.5 in num ber, rode into Franklin, Williamson county, anel broke open the door of a store belonging to a Prussian Jew, named Bierficld, a Radical. Bier- field, so soon as he saw the masks, attempteel to escape by flight, ne was fired upon, and fell dead pierced by five bullets. Lawrence Bonnan, Colanel Bier field's clerk, was also shot. He ran off, but Was found during the night in a lot where he had taken refuge, mortally .wounded. He died this morning. , Bicrfield's body has. been brougnt tiere for burial. Who the maskers were, or whether they were supporteel by others, is not known. The affair occurred just after the close of the circus exhibition, and many people were In the street, some of Whom interfered, but could not pre vent the assassination. It has created intense feeling in Franklin and is denounceel by all. St. Louis, August 17. The Democrat's Washington special says that notwithstanding the attempt to conceal the negotiations . which the NeW York democrats have been car rying on with the President since Seymour's nomination, some of their tranactions at the White House have come to light. To the first gentleman who called on him shortly after tho r-Convention adjourned, he was very curt, telling them he had set their partp on its feet and in return theyjiad thrown him overboard, and he would have nothing more to do with them. Further, in his own choice language he told thevrt to say to Mr. Seymour and the whole world that he had been informed they had been from tho flivt secretly in favor of impeachment, and now they might one and all of them go to 11 11 as far as he cared, and with this the first interview ended. There have been several others ; and finally, during last week, these gentle men reported here and in N. Y. that the President had been brought around and Would now help in the present campaign. They made some grand promises, as they tell their friends r but their nature has not been ascertained. As an evi dence that he really intends to support bevmour, the Democrats are trying to get the President to suspenel Rollins and give the place to an avowed Dem ocrat who will use the whole patron age, ss far as possible, to carry the close States. The Conservative Democrats of Baltimore have met in Convention and stricken the Word Conservative from their title. The reason is found in the fact all the Swann Conservat ives had already left them and gone over .to Grant and Colfax. , :.; 3 Washington, August 17. Mr. Evarts sent his opinion to the President to-day, in which he declares that the President has a right to ap point a Colleetor for Alaska. Prominent leaders have prevailed up on Mr. Johnson to make an announce ment of his support of Seymour and Blair. This will occur in a speech during the President's holiday tour. No doubt now exists but that the future policy of this Government to wards Mexico will be the establish ment, at no distant day, of a protect orate over that Republic. It is prob able that the Mexican Government will very soon hike the initial steps in this matter by legislative action, and that departure of Minister Rose crans will be delayed until further information is received on the subject. It is not improbable that as a remune ration for the protectorateship several ofthe northern Mexican States, the real estates of which is now owned by citizens of the United States, includ ing the Isthmus of Lower California. Letters have received from the com mittee of five appointed by the Con gressional Convention of Mississippi to receive and count the votes at the late election in that State, to announce the result, and, if neccessary, recon vene the Convention. They do not contemplate calling the Convention together, but are about to Issue a proc lamation declaring the election in six counties illegal and void, oh account of frauds and violence usl. As Gen eral Giilam refuses to recognize the committee, they write to call upon Congress to sustain their action and complete the work of reconstruction in Mississippi by apropriate legislat ion. - ...... The Southern politicians of Congress insist that a session must be held in September, in order that steps may be taken to secure Ijuion men of. the South in their rights at the coming election. A movement Is on foot looking to ward a call from the Southern Legis- etures for Congress to assemble in September. They profess to have no faith that the military will be used in good laith to protect existing State governments without further le'is la ion, and expect, when the Presidential election arrives, to see carried out a most extensive system of terrorism and fraud.
