STATE VS. TEKKITOIIY.
The people have been treated to an
immense amount of nsBeriiors on
the party of Democratic papers to
the effect that the tax payeri were be
ing ground to death and "strangled"
by the additional taxation necessary to
support a State government. We
know not how this may b9 m Counties
like Otoe and Douglas, where the
finances are handled by Democratic of
ficers, but glorious old Cass whose
radical majority 13 near 200, and
whose finances are managed by radi
cal officers presents a noble record on
the question of taxation. The follow
jag figures, taken from the official re
cord, will show the difference in this
county between the Territorial levy
for 1S66 and the Slate levy for 1867:
Ter. tax for 1S6G, S12.771 22
Slate tax for 1667, 11,238 83
State less than Territorial, 81,535 39
This is on the State and Territorial
alone; and betides this the County tax
has been reduced this year one mill on
the dollar from what it was under Ter
ritorial rule; making, on the valuation
of about 81,800,000 wonh of property
in the county, the neat li tie difference
of SI, 800 in favor cf State in our
County taxes, which, added lo the
ing cn the State tax, makes a total sav
ingto the tax-payers of Cms county of
3,335,39. Does this look like the
tax-payers of the radical county cf Cass
were being "strangled" by taxation?
If the copperhead officials of Otoe ana
Douglas counties are burtheniDg the
people with increased taxation, we ad
viae them to elect good sound radicals
hereatfer. in imitation cf Cass. Then
they can hare their taxes reduced, even
under a State government.

Have you seen "Crawfords De
fence?" It is a weighty tLiug. If ycu
have not, jut come down with your
"little old fiva cents" and you can get
it in "calf," "sheep" or "paper." The
paper is copperhead the Omaha Her
aid but nevertheless it is paper.
Crawford is a "brick," a "perfect
brick," and a regular born "JuJge."
He knew what the people would think,
and consequently comes out with a "da
fence" before he is accused of any
thing. Nothing like commencing in
time, Crawford. If you wish to sue
ceed in business you must adierlisa
and if you cannot get enough five cent
pieces contributed to pay for your cir
culars (only 100) you. should distribute
them free; and by all means when you
make a "defence" do it on the strength
of what some woman should have said
to another woman at a "lea party;"
about somebody who was on a jury.
This kind cf evidence is connlusive.and
will prove that you, even if you are not
as old a resident ' as you might be,"
are bound to purify this cmmunity.and
put down all such rascally old resiJnt
as Chaifant, Lynch, SumnSr, Au.tui
and others who were on the jury in the
Kerns trial. We were not aware that
you had ever been accused of giving
"an opinion" "in the whola course of
your life," although yju say io your
"defence" that you never gave one that
was not as loyal as any entertained by
burself. Now, Crawford, don't, please,
say anything that will hurt our feelings.
We all know you are loyal, very loyal.
Did you not, out of pure patriotism, ob
ject to having a toast read on the "4th"
"To the memory ef the fallen heroes
of the Union army." In your "de
fence" you forgot to say anything
about the "evidence," but you say that
such and such things are the "common
report." That won't do in your case,
for "common report" says ; well it
says that the men who composed the
jury in the Kerns trial have, most of
them, lived in Cass county for from six
to ten years; and their old acquaint
ances here never had, until you arrived
here probably through a dispensation
of Providence for the salvation of the
county so much as dreamed that these
men were perjured villains. They had
always been supposed to be very up
right, honest men.
SErsATOU TIIAYEU
Has introduced a measure which pro
poses to locate all Indians between
Nebraska and the mountains on two
reservations, one in the western por
tion Dacota and the other in the In
dian Territory west of Arkansas, both
to be perpetual reservations. It will
be somwhat difficult to get them upon
these reservations unless they become
aore docile than at present.
THE RESI0.IRIE1TY.
The Advertiser and the Republican
are wonderfully exercised about the
responsibility of the removal of the
Cnpital and the location "of the other
Staid buildings. The fact as we view
the whole thing, is simply this : the
Republican was g'.renuously opposed to
the movement and derired to defeat it
at any hazard. Fearing that opposition
to it on the merits of the case could
not be made sufficiently strong to in
sure the defeat, it very foolishly at
tempted the more extreme measure of
trying to bring a party pressure to bear
against it, asserting that the Republi
can party "would be held and j jstly
too," for the action. This failed, and
the measure was carried through. The
Republican then saw its mistake, but
had gone so far in its denunciation
that it was difficult to retract with any
credit or henor. It ceased however
its charge upon tha party, and con
fined its opposition to the merits of the
case, as it should have done from the
commencement. The Advertiser is
opposed to the measure, but we doubt
very much if it knows why ; and, after
the Republican stopped its tirade
against the party, comes out with the
assertion that "the responsibility re.ts
upon the party in power." Thus they
arm the opposite party with weapons
which they as Republican papers are
powerless to resist. It is a well known
fact, of which both these journals were
cognizant at the time, that there was
uo party questicn in this location and
even the News, which no" one doubts
would take advantage cf any action of
the Republican party from which po
litical capital could be made, admits
that it was in no way a party measure
an J says "it could not have been car
ried without the assistance of the' Otoe
Democracy." Now we are unable to see
the sense cf papers that claim to be Re
publican, and papers that should de
fend the party if there was need of de
fense, charging whatthey are ashamed
to term a villainous act upon the party,
when tho facts are so plain that even
copperhead papers havo not the audac
ity to charge n upon the "Republican
party, but say in eo many words that
it is not a party measure at all. There
.vjuld be just as much reason in charg
ing the Democratic party with the re
moval of the capitol, from the fat
the measure could not have been car
ried had the entire Democratic repre
sentation opposed it. The Republican
is now willing to admit that Democrats
had a hand in the matter, and in
speaking of it in a recent issue, says:
"A corrupt scheme cannot le sancti
fied merely because it is perpetrated
by Republicans. It is alike pernicious,
whether it be tha work of Republicans
or coppperheaJs. In the instance of
which we speak it was the product of
the joint action of both. Let the guilty
parties bear the responiblity, but do
not seek to justify or palliate the wrong
by attempting to cover it with the man
tle of the Republican party."
In this we think we discover a de
sire on the part of-tho Republican to
get back of its assertion that the party
was responsible, and it attempts to con
vey the idea that the party is endeavor
ing to justify itself for having done a
mean act. For the benefit of that pa
per, as it appears to be in the dark,
we will say that the party has never
attempted to "justify or palliate" any
thing in relation to the capital question,
not even the action of the Republican,
although that journal predicted that the
party would be "covered" with a
"mountain of indignation" etc. The
only attempts, by either Democrat or
Republican, to "cover" ihe act with the
"mantle of the party," or to cover ihe
party with the act, has com fram the
Republican and the Advertiser; and
upon them rests the responsibility of
any damage to the party that may arise
out of this question.
IT I EE IT ANSWER?
A few days since we called upon
tho Omaha -Herald to substantiate its
assertion that Kerns was acquited "for
political reasons,' and "against the
clearest evidence," and that "several
jurors stood out long against an ac
quital, but finally yielded under ihe
pressure of out side opinion " That
paper has made no reply la our de
mand for the proof of there base slan
ders, and we again call upon it to sub
stantiate then if it can. We will in
form the Herald that the men who sat
upon tnat jury are, without exception,
men of unquestioned integrity and
honest in this community, even by
Democrat?; and such charges as the
above, without a particle of truth up
on which to found them.only excite feel
ings of digut towards their author in
the minds cf all upright, honest men,
of either party. While Democrats in
this vicinity art desiriouscf adding a:I
the strength they can to the party, and
we doubt not would turn everything
they could honestly, to that end, yet
they despise the mean spirit that will
make such bold charges of perjury
against the lest citizen of our county
and then fail o substantiate them. If
Kerns was discharged "pgainst the
clearest evidence", why dont you lay
that evidence before your readers.
If "soveral juriort" agreed to an ac
quital "under the pressure of outsider
opinion," why don.t you bhow who they
are and how that pressure was brought
to bear upon them io the jury room ?
Does -the organ of tha Democracy of
Nebraska expect to make political cap
itul through such means? Does it as
sume that it3 party followers are a let
of fools, that do not requite proof to
convict men cf reputed honasty of be
ing perjured villians? We know not
what your Omaha Democracy may be
willing to blindly swallow from your
hands, but we d j know that a large
proportion of the party in this county
require something tangible before they
are willing to believe ihf.t Chaifant,
Lynch, Buck, Sumner, IIindley, and
the others who composed that jury, are
ihe perjurers which the assertions of
the Omaha Herald, would make them;
and they further btlieve that a paper
that would mak such assertions with
out foundation for them cannot be con
sidered reliable in ether things. If it
will deliberately lie in regard to a
matter of this kind, where the reputa
lion of our best citizens is at stake,
what will it not do? There is not a man
in his community, either Democratic
or Republican, who was present during
the trial, but says the statemants made
in the Herald are false, and unless it
substantiates them it stand before the
people of this county as ona of the
most bare-faced slanderers ever known
in the Stale.
THAT TOAST.
In order to settle a question which is
of but little importance in the abstract,
but one which may, from the principle
it involves, become of mighty import in
the future, we addressed a note to two
of the i-embers ef the commitoe ap
pointed to prepire toasts to be read at
the celebration in this City on the late
anniversary of American Independence
which wj publish below, together
with the reply of the said committee
men. It may not bi Rtr.ies to state.
in this connection, that Hon. T. M
Marquett, W. F. Crawford and VY.
W. Erwin Esqs, compose d taid com

July 15'h. 1SG7. ,
Hon T. M Marquett and W. W. Er
win Esq. numbers of com. on Toasts.
Sirs A3 W. F. Crawford Eq.,
has seen fit to publicly deny that he
objected to the reading cf a Toast, in
substance as follows: "To the tllen
Heroes of the Republic', I would re
spectfully ask you to slate v.hcther or
not he did object to the reading cf a
toast of that character.
Respectfully,
II. D. Hathaway.
Plattsmocth, July 15, '67.
II. D. Hathaway:
Sin Wm. F. Crawford did, at the
meeting of the committee appointed to
prepare toarts to be read at the celebra
tion on ihe 4th day of July, object to
having the following toast read : "To
our fallen heroes and living defenders
of the Republic May their memories
be ever fresh and green in the hearts
of Americans," and gave it as his rea
son for so doing that it was political,
and would be di-Usteful io a great
many Democrats. ; For the sake of
harmony, the undersigned then agreed
to change the ' toast so tha: it would
read: "To the fallen heroes of the Re
public," to which he still objected, but
was overruled by a msjority of said
committee, and the toast was put down
as one of the thirteen regular toasts to
be read at said celebration.

A 'MCSCt'LAU t 1IRITIAX.
The New YorkiTiwies, commenting
on the Heralds cable dispatches says
We are delighted to find that the
Pope, though a very old man, is still
very muscular. Our neighbor the
Heiald published An Sat irday a spe
cial dispatch from ' Roma saying that
the American prelates presented him
a model of the yacht being lrtden below
with gold pieces to) the amount of fifty
thousand dollars;" -and that "the Tope
who was in exedent huu or, lifted the
exquisite model, with its cargo, from
(be case and said, wiih a gracious sir.ile
non e urt vapore
It may not be
thought surprising hat the Pope should
be able to tell a yacht from a steamer;
but his "lifting" it laden as it was, is
certainly remarkable. A gold dollar
weighs about 25 grains, and fifty
thousand of them would wtigh about
217 pounds; the model of ths yacht in
tilver large enough to hold this cargo,
could not have weighed less than
500; so that ihe Pope "lifted from its
case" something over seven hundred
pounds. This is prety well for an old
man of eighty. Why don't ihe Herald
bring him out as an athlete l!

$iFThe following expression of
feeling on the execution of Maximill

13th inst. :
Chandler called up the resolution re
garding Mexican affairs, and made a
speech justifying the execution of Max
imillian, and hoped Cjngress would
not adjourn without expression of sym
pathy, and also give aid, if necessary ;
and if any European power was de
termined to fight Mexico, they must
fight the United Stales also.
Fowler and Nye spoke in favor of
the resolution. The latter regarded
that Mexico must ultimately beleng to
the United States, and eulogized Jua
rex as a great and good man, who had
enlightened the world, and he would
say amen to the fate of Maximillian ;
he had no sympathy with imported mon-
archs, who come te subjugate and not
to invigorate the ooun'ry, and advocate
ed fraternal policy towards Mexico,
and substantial aid if necessary.
Howard justified ihe action of the
court Hiartial that tried Maximillian,
and denounced the decree of October,
1S65 as a murderous decree.
Mr. Dinsmore tells us something
about Mr. Greeley's farm, through the
columns of the Portland Press. He
says:
"Several years ago the philosopher
of Printing House Square bought a
swamp. . He went to work on scientfic
principle- built hie farm mansion on
a ledge that loomed up out of damp
waste, cut drains, laid out avenues,
dug up muck and has just one of the
prettiest places in Westchester county.
He constructed an artificial trout lake
on his premises Greeley likes trout,
and has some fine specimens in his
pond. When he gets time to get out
of the city and go home, he may Ven-
erally be found feeding or watching
the trout.
TUB CAPITAL.
The Press says that the Cnpital was
first located at Omaha by men who
were elected by emigrants passing
through the country. They would stop
a train of wagons, open an election
appoint one of their own members
County Clerk, and send in the returns.
They would drivo on a few miles and
repeat the performance. The men
elected by these ballots located the
Territorial Capital at Omaha. No
wonder Omaha men think there is
rascality in every thing connected
with ihe location of a Slate Capitol.

boat and cargo are a total loss.
The accident occured about 9 o'clock
Sunday morning. The boat had just
entered the cut-off and almost immedi
ately became unmanagable in the tre
mendous current and eddies which prevailed-.
She was driven into the bank
three or four times, till at last shfc was
thrown with great force against a snag
which entered her side and she im
mediately caeened over until her op
posite side rested on a rand bar, other
wise she would have capsized. About
fifteen of those on board jumped over

SF"An exchange says tae prime
source of difficulty with Andrew John
son is, that down at the substratum of
ins na'ure, he is a bad man. U hen
ever he has behaved himself tolerable
well for any considerable period, it ha.
beenjunder the stress of circumstance
or the impulse of feir. Dread of im-
pearnmeiii ior a wnae suspended nis
fatuous opposition to the laws of Con
gress. Since ihe judiciary committee
decided that question, and it became
prelabU that there would be no extra
sesion, he grew bold again. Another
characteristic of the man is revealed in
his beg:n:ng to act as soon as his cour
age sufficiently inci eases, without or
dinary prudence, and exposing hie
game in time to give the people an op
portunity thwart it. If he could have
kept quiet a couple of weeks longer,
the July session of Congress would
have adjourned without a quorum, and
he could have had matters his own
way for ihe next five menths.
Remarkable Discovery.

gan idly to pick at an apparent fissure,
when, a block of stone, duapeared with
a dull thump. The men went eagerly
to work, and removing the bottom of
the pit, disclosed a chamber with a six

two feet within the walU, which are of
solid, neatly seamed stone work. Ran
