Al '.ne session or me court or im-
peachmeut last Friday, a stroDg1 effort
was made by the managers on the part
of the House to proceed as speedily as
possible with the trial, in order that the
country mignt be relieved from the em-
carrassment of having a long drawn
cut trial; but the President's counsel
were determined upon a postponement
in order that they might hunt up sore
technrcaliiy whereby they might release
the great criminal. The managers on
the part of the House not wishing to do
anything that might be construed into
a personal persecution, conseuted to a
postponement until the 23i int , nt
which time it is fair to J resume the
trial will be commenced. It is current
ly reported Ly friends cf the President
that he will, at that lime, oliect to
tirery Senator sitting ia the Court who
has expressed au opinion rela'.ive to
the impeachment: and failing in this,
he will assert the Democratic doctrine
that wj have no government I y declar
ing the unconstitutionality of the Sen
ate trying his case until all ihe Scth-
ern States are represented. It i3 also
asserted by some (though probably
without rersou at least we fear so)
that in the failure to prevent the triul
by any of these means, the President
will then resign. This last move
would be the most sensible thing he
could do, and should have been done
long ago. It would le but carrying
cut the theory which he ptomulgaied
in regard to. Stanton. . He claims it
was the duty of Stanton lo resign upon
the first intimation from his superior
that he was needed no longer. If
Johnson bad applied this doctrine to
his own case he would have found
cause for resigning long since. Have
not the people of whom Andrew John-
son was merely the servant although
a - very unruly one intimated very
strongly that his action was distasteful
to them, and not at all in accordance
with what was expected ofhitn? Is
there an' more reason why he should
disobey the known wishes of his supeii
ors and still retain his position, than that
Mr. Stanton should do the same thin"?
Stanton had the advantage of knowing
that his action was endorsed ly the
people the real power of this govern

only endorsed by the rebel element,

. IICIIID 1'llt.YDER.
The iYctt's says they are beginning
to hear thunder from the east. We
suppose thai thset must hare heard
from the New Hampshire electiou.
That State has always been considered
very doubtful, but the now comes up
with 3,000 Republican majority, upou
a square political issue. Wo would .
iiot be surprised if other Democratic
papers had heard "thunder from the J
caMMEXCL A'OwV.
We would again remind the Repub
lican voters tf Cuss .county of the im
parlance of commencing the work of
the campaign early. Look at the glo
rious victories being achieved all over
(he country, and everyone- of them
have bee.Tobtained ' ly ' action. New
Hampshire ha3 gona Re-pul!ican b"
3,000, and an article on our first pae
to-day will give some idea how it wjs
dene. While Republicans are net ex
ptcied to work iu the same way Dem
ocrats do, yet their labors are even
greater than those of the Democracy.
It always requires a greater amount of
labor to convince a man of a thing ly
a course of reasoning, than it does
to turn him by a direct appeal to bis
passions and prejudices. This is where
in the labors of the Republican party
are greater than those of the Democra
cy. We suy, then, commence novo.
Let every Republican turn out to the
precinct meetings on the llth of April,
and do not lose an opportunity to woik
for .he great principles of the parly
from that time till after the last vote is
polled on election day.
T1IJL1 PUBLIC LAXD.
There is a great deal of inquiry just
now, relative to the public lands in Ne
braska, and how and in what quantities
it can be obtained. We have taken
some pains to ascertain how the matter
is, and fiud that the laie law passed by
Congress does not, as was supposed by
many, give the privilege of hometead-
ing or pre empting 160 we only wish
it did neither does it allow land to be
entered by .cpeculators and we are
glad of this. It only restores to home
stead and pre-emption the even nuiu
bered sections within the limits of the
Pacific 11. R. grant, and all oilier R.
R. grants, and allows hompsteads of SO
acres or pre-emption of 0 acres at
2.50 per acre.
THK TEST,
The Democracy cf the country have
been for the past two or three years,
making great noise about the 'ten ex
cluded States," and asserting that we
were not a government while they were
unrepresented. There is a bill now
before Congress for the admission of
Alabama under her new constitution
and we shall see how many Democrats
will vote for it. Wre hope those who
have believed the Democracy honest in
their protestations in regard to the ad
mission of the Southern States will
watch the vote upon the admissiou of
Alabama.- We doull not the .Democ
racy were henest in the expressed with
thai these Slates might be admitted if
they could be aJmi.ted so as .to. permit

At a Democratic meeting receni'y an
allusion to Robert L. Lee was cheered
lustily, and the name of Gen. Grant
was hissed with the same vior. This
is perfectly natural. Lee was the reb
el chief and is a Democrat, while
Grant was the Union General and is a
Republican. People will cheer when
their favorite is mentioned.
Gen. Grant, in his bcyhood, is
said to have evinced a remarkable apt
nude for the management of horses.
his recent experience with President
Johnson proves him equally successful
in the management of mules.

Weepivc Water. March 21, 1S63
Editor Herald: Dear Sir.
As you have invited correspondence
from the various parts of the County, I
take the liberty ct sending you a few
items from this vicinity. :
Our farmers, learning from pat
experience, have del.iyed sowing th'J ir
wheat, and are waiting for more settled
weather. The opinion is crmmun
here that beiter crops ate obtained by
stirring the ground as little as possible,
while it is wet and cold. An intelli
gent farmer remarked, to-day, that the
average yield of wheat in this county
was diminished, at least, two bushels
per acre last season by early sowing
and reaping; and that the great point
for Nebraska farmers to learn was to
pay a reasonable regard to the laws of
nature.
Weeping Water is receivirg its full
share of the remarkable emigration
that is pouring into the State.
Reing the central part of the county,
and undoubtedly being destined to be
come ihe county seat at no distant day,
it offers unusual inducements to those
wishing tcr make for themselves perma
nent homes. As regards the beauty
of the surrounding country cr the fer
tility of the soil, like all parts of the
Siate south of the Platte rivcr, its nat
ural resources are unsurpassed Ly any
prairie country.
In justice !o this town allow me to
correct one statement of your Salt
Creek correspondon.. He classes Mr.
Dean's Flouring Mill at Aihlnnd as the
best iu the interior. Reed Clinton
have at this piint, not only the best
Mill in the interior but the Lest in the
State. Erected at the expense of over
eighteen thousand dol!ars anl capable
of manufacturing two -Lutdrtd iLd
foity sacks of flour p-ir day.
Ilorton & Co. have just opened a
store here and are doin a large re
tail business. Two or three more dry
goods stores are needtd by the sur
rounding country aud would be a good
investment cf capital.
The fact of this being the Republican
banner Precinct of the county is ;ulli
cient statement of the moral aud social
condition of our society.
Truly Yours, Jaqves.

Uy invitation of the Republican Club
of lirownvil.'e, Judge O. V. Mason de
livered in the Court House an address
upon the political issues of the day. to a
crowded audience, on last Tuesday
evening. lis argued that the. rebel
States in ISO I toted to. and did.de
stroy all constitutional fetate govern-
ments in the South; ant! that they im-
mediately set to woik to establish other
Siate governments, founded upon ia
very as a coiner stone; and that btate
L'overntiients so formed were congre
i "tiled into confeden cy or general
government, which by the thundering
of Ci rant's Cannon were destroyed
both State and Confederate at Ap
pomatax Court House, leaving the
whale rebel territory without a ven
tage of government without an offi
cer to enfore law without a legal en
actment in existence leaving people
and territory sulject to the wh-.ni ca
! price, good sense, or statesmanship of
j the conquering powr. The first to
recognize this state of facts was An-
drew Johnson, who appointed military
Governors over each State as it was
represented before the rebellion, with
absolute power to do as ihey willed or
as ho should instruct. He did not as-
semble Congress in extraordinary ses-
sion, but took the duties of Congress
into his own hands. He pushed his
plan of reconstutcticn so fast that he
had one or two States actually formed,
aiid ready for representation on a rebel
baeii. In this shcrt lease of power the
rebels of Georgia, one of these rtcon-
structed States bejan to enact laws for
the re-enslavement of the African pop-
ulaiiou. The fruts of another was
developed in the massacre at New
Orleans, and another at the terrible
tragedy at Memphis Co. gress soon
asstmt led in regular session, and this
reconstruction cf rebels was instantly
stopped, and a fir different policy
adopted that of reconctruct ing the
Southern States is they previously ex
isted upon a loyal basis. The Judge
then said that no man could long pur
sue au illegal cctrse, or disobey the
commands cf God and go unpunished,
and much less coild a nation trample
with impunity upon the rights of any
class cf her ciuztns. Ilistoiy of na
tions demonstrate; the fact that God
demands for natijnal wrongs sooner
or later an altonenent of blood. That
the great national trime of slavery sub
jected us to an imnense sacrifice. It
was the Judges cpnion that the first
liull Run disaster vas a national bless
ing, else if we htd been successful
slavery would have icen re established,
and this attonement for the wrongs cf
the nation only pos poned for a more
fearful reckoning. We cannot foretell
the future what miy appear gloomy
aud foreboding ol evil in the present
may result eventualy for the good of

delay is providential; .that the natioii

A woman must be very insensille
who is not moved to come upon a high
er plane of b'ing herself, by see'ng
how undoubtingly she is insjhered iu
the heart of a srootf and ncble man. A
good man's faith in you fair lady, if
you ever have it, will make you better
and nobler, even before you know it
Bacon Crab. ;n his last hours, was
visited by one of hi neighbors, who
said, "well, deacon, I hope you are re-
sii'tied ingoing?" "Yes, I think I am
resigned," answered the deacon.
"Well," snid the neighbor, "I just
thought it might be"a consolation to you
to know that most of those uho know
you are resigned, also."
Senator Wilson opened theTnm-
piign in Connecticut last week. The
Republic ins ore making a powerful
effort to carry that statp. It is thought
that the example nf New Hampshire
will have a good effect upon it. Some
of the best Republican stump speakers
will be sent there, and a liberal distri
button of documents has been arranged
for that State Central Committee.
The New York Citizni joins with
the World in urginc Vallnridi2ham'n
expulsion from the Democratic ptny.
ret contra, the Cleveland Plavultahr
vigorously defends the "martyr," and
denounces tlrs World for its bitter at
tack upon him.
It is said by a Democratic fx
change lhat the act of Mr. Johnson in
appointing General Thounsto the War
Office is "a striking indication of
spirit." Undoubtedly, and of rectified
spirit, which Ins not paid a tp.x to the
Government.
On every hand we hear the pite
ous cry, "has not the South suffered
enough?" Yea, verily; and therefore
do not again inflict upt n her the Dem
ocratic patty. Her present as well as
her past afiliciions were imposed by
that arty, and common sense protest
against renewing tne cause or her
troubles, since the re I itiun of cause to
effect is rigid and inevitable.
-The President has deserted those
who eletted him. He has gone over to
the enemy, and turns all his guns upou
those who gave him command of their
citadel. The facts admit of no dispute
vhatever may be the pretenses olfer
ed in excuse. With or without apology,
lie thus stands before ihe world an
apostate and a traitor in every essen
tial feature of his conduct. What can
a man so circumsianced expect, in the
present or the futore, but to be t xe
crated accordingly?
