Approve the action of the mob on elec

to know whether it still justifies the ac

the Hail of Representatives oa the

now professes to be opposed to mobs, it
would be a satisfaction to many Demo

its views in regard to the above men

IIOTF IS IT?
We have often heard it eoid, since)
the question cf an educational test as to
the qualifications of voters has been
talked of. that the elective franchise
could not be taken from those who ul
re&dv eriov it. even it mey did not
j j v
have the necessary qualifications, and
that it was not right to deprive them el
it, if we cculd. Taking this view o
how can the negroes of Nebraska be
deprived of the right to vote, even if
the act of our Legislature in accepting
the "conditions" did not guarantee it to
them? They were full citizens, clothed
with the elective franchise, before we
were admitted as a State.

The Omaha Herald says the Plaits

be able to "prove its falsity." Well,
well. Dr.: one would suppose you are
cot acquainted with ihe editor cf the
Democrat. His "poison charges' don't

cuence ot tae Herald ieeung: eucn a
deep interest in our being able to dis
prove it, we will simply say that the
Democrat is tolerably careful not 'to
make any charge against us, but gots
somewhat upon the plaaof the little boy
who, when accused cf diing a mean
act, does not deny it bu; simply retorts
by saying, "you d3ne it yourself."

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-
The following note, received yester

"Dear Sir: The balance of ap
propriations heretofore made for Legis-

of procuring a Geological Surrey of

!VOTIIIG TO SAY.
It is a fact worthy of note that Andy,
when called upon by the usual commit
tees at the organization cf the Fortieth
Ongres. informed them that ha had
no communication to make. This is a
hopeful sign, and may be considered as
an acknowledgement on the part of the
Executive that everything is working
in good shape, and no change in the
programme is necessary, or that he
does net think his recommendations
would make any difference in what
would be done. Either way of think
ing is evidence that Andy "accepts the
situation." It certainly is about time
that he did accept it, after having made
the issue and left its decision to the
people, who rendered a verdict against
iu;n.
WHO ARE THEY?
Does it ever occur to our Democratic
friends with strong southern proclivities
that a large proportion cf the men whom
they denounce because of thtir devotion
to the Union and their advocacy of hu
man rights were once the brains, the
life, the principal good that was in the
Democratic party ? Where da they
suppose this mighty Republican party
came from, if it is not made up to some
extent from the ranks of the old De
mocracy? Since the first outbreak of
the rebellion, the honest, thinking men
who had acted with and been the life
of the Democratic party have been con
stantly leaving the sinking, piratical
ship whuse crew was directing her
against the Government. They have
swelled ihe ranks of the Republican
party until lo-day they represent about
all trie political honesty iin.t was ever
in the Demucracy. They are the class
of men vho were honest in their con
victions, and who thought mure of their
country and justice to mankind than of
party victories. We believe there are
men acting wi;h the Democratic party
who are honest in their political actions,
but the large majority of that class have
long sinte abandoned ihe party and re
pudiated me doctrines latent by its
leaders. They did not believe in
making war upon the government, nor
aiding and encouraging those who did
make war. They did not believe that,
after having fought the government for
four years, these ex-rebels should be
allowed to manage the whole machin
ery of reconstruction, or that they
should step in and take chnrge of things
the same as they had before they made
war upon the general government.
Halding these views they could not do
otherwise" than with, the Repub'i-
can party, and we believe there are yet
many in the Democratic ranks who
held the same views, but lack the cour
ate to throw tiT the t hackles of party.
Nt
Tlie Nebraska University..
This institution, yet to be created out
of lacd bounties of the government to
the new State, is exciting agitation as
to where it shall be located. For our
part, we have given the matter little
attention. In view of the population,
central .location and future prospects of
Nelraska City, we should be glad to
have the future University go there
In fad, we favor this idea, not :nly on
account of its merits as a town, but be
cause of the temper and disposition cf
the people there to treat all localities
with magnanimity and fairness. If
Nebraska City want tt;e University
we have no doubt Omaha will second
the motional the ri'jht time and in the
right way. Nebraska City, the crea
tion of the thrift and patient work:n
enterprise of her people deserves pub
lic favor, and the voice cf the Herald
will always be in favor of a liberal
recognition ot her claims. Omaha
Herald. .
Nebraska City that is, the official
voice of Nebraska City endorses the
Legislative mob, the killing of a just
apportionment, and the mob in Omaha
on election day. For this Omaha pro
poses to "second" her in securing the
Unisersity, without asking the other 3S
rr.prnbers of the Legislature anything
about their desires.

The following figures by a corres
pondent of the Press, will give our

upon assuming the responsibilities of a

a safe calculation. A large proportion
of Government land in Nebraska is
now sold at 82 50, and we see no rea

Mr. Editor: Having been eo for
tunate as to be one cf the audience at
the exhibition given ov the scholars of
Prof. James, on last Saturday evening,
a thoueht occurred to me, which I de-
sire to suggest to tha citizens of Platts-

church edifices; nearly, every denom

say 50 cents, the proceeds to be dis'nb
tiled to the denominations who encour
age the enterprise. It is well known that
when some smiling performer of Leg
erdemain, like Hascall. or a circus is
advertised, everybody wishes to see the
sights. Now i appeal to every person,
who wiinessed' the exhibition to which
I have alluded, whether it was not far
more entertaining than Hascall. Many
of the scenes, had they been enacted
upon a theatre stage by star actors and
actresses, wou'd Lave been well re
ceived in anv community, i trust my
suasrestion will be taken into consider
lion, by the members of ihe various
religious denominations, sati.-fied that
a large amount can be realized.
Permit me in conclusion, to return
the thanks oflthe audience to Prof.
James and Lpdy, for the pleasure de
rived from the entertainment; and I as
sure them that their efforts to establish
a well rezulated. fira-class school is
fully appreciated by their patrons, and
the citizens gner!tlly.

a st -am mill, and hence we can ahip grain from the
west and more than compete with them in griodinc
wheat or coin. There is a vat region wist of this to
be supplied with imported grain every year, and es
pecially this year, and our location is superior. The
Mills are just built, and with capita! to purcha)
grain could make from 55,000 to S 000 this year.
With a partner in the weKt to purchase grain no bet
ter speculation can be found. "
With a little exiene a Saw-Mill can be attached.
Lumber tOO per 1 000 feet. Worth thousands per
annum. Farming on thee landi is very profitable.
