HJVT1SM0UTH NEBRAKSA.. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1870. Fitzgerald's Block is up to the second ttory. Ex-Gov. Alvin Saunders was in the city Thursday evening. TUe popular majority against Pot. in the 7th district ia ubout SoO. Several car loads of potatoes have been shipped from this city to Chicago during the past week. The "Larsb Brigade," of Nebraska City, left for San Jose, California, one day last week, for an extended vWt. The street sprinkler would not he a bad institution such a day as this has been. Rev. Piuiinich, of Omaha, paster of the Second Presbyterian Church, has med the church for $952 50, due him for services. Taul Ilill Esq., the ever watchful transfer agent at this place, returned from a trip to the "Hub" yesterday morning. The new rassenzer depot of the B. & M. in Nebraska is progressing rapidly. It will be the finest dpot building west of the Missouri river. Fitzgerald is using some of the finest cut stone we have seen in the west for dills in his new block. Ihey are gray limestone. Warned, to-day, (Oct. 26th) at the Presbyterian church, by the Rev. Daniel W. Cameron, Mr. Wm. B. Gates of Kansas, and Miss. Sarah A., daughter of John F. Buck Esq. Also Henry W. Baldwin of Kansas, and Miss Mintie daughter of W. W. Wiley Esq. The brides are both of Casrf county. They leave this evening for their future homes in our neighboring State. Four stables and one tenement house were burned in Omaha last Saturday. What would become of our city should a fire break out. We have not so much as a bucket ready for public use. Will nothing but a destructive fire teach our people that we need some defense against the ravages of the '"fire king." The many'friends, in this city, of Chas Cregan, who taught vocal music here for a time during the tumnier, will be pleased to learn that he is now principal of the Nebraska City Graded School with some ten or twelve teachers under his charge. He is a young man of sferling worth, and just the kind of man that will stand at the head of his porfes sion or never cease his efforts to attain that position. The following are the delegates ap pointed by the Governor to the National Capitol Convention that meets at Cin cinnati to-day. Hen. Alvin Saunders, Douglas ; Hon. G. W. Ambrose, Douglas; Hon. D. J McCann, Otoe ; Hon. W. E. Dillon, Otoe ; Hon. A. P. Cogswell, Nemaha ; Hon. E. S. Dundy, Richardson ; Hon. E. S. Gere, Lancaster ; Gen. R. R. Livingston, Cass. H. 0. McMaken sent a few sample specimens, to-day of the kind of pota toes and turnips they can . raise 0it on the "Great American Desert." The turnips will measure about a foot in dia meter, and the potatoes will go three to a peck. They were raised in Saunders county, on a homestead, where the ground was first broken thi. season. Hon. Wm. Hale, of Glenwood, is in this city to-day. Mr. Hale is a lawyer of considerable reuown and a radical of the purest stripe. We always like to meet sgch men as Mr. Hale. We understand that county superin dent Patterson is about to call on the people of the county to vote either for or against re districting the entire county. The idea is to get the district baunderies established where they can remain per mant before any greater amount or money is expended in building School Houses. We speak of it at this time to give the people time to eou.-ider the question carefully before they are called on to ex press an opinion by ballot. The Brownville Advertiser says, "All the comfort the anti-fifteenth De mocrats in this State can get out of E. W. Thomas, the Senator elect from this county, they can put in their eye. He is one of the original anti-slavery men. There has been grand consolidation of railroad offices at Omaha, and one man does the entire thing. Shippers and travelers will look out. Rev. II. A. Cleveland, Pastor of Christ M. E. Church, Philadelphia, says of "Our Father's House": I take great pleasure in commending this instructing and fascinating book to my Vion,l;i anil na far oa T mai tfk the We are informed by our grain dealers gen(Jraj pubijc. The Nebraska City Chronicle protests against hunting game icithin the city limits, and says it is actually dangerous, Oh, what a city ! that the wheat from near Nebraska. City is being hauled to Plattsmouth and sold Straws show. Wm. Hobbs, Esq, our worthy county Treasurer, has purchased the fine two- fetory residence built by M. L. White Esq., in White's Addition. Hon. David Mc Caig was in the city to day purchasing lumber for a new house. Ah ! that looks suspicious, David. You are right, however, about getting the "cage" ready, P. E. Beardsley, Esq., formerly resi dent of this county, and a brother of J. M. Beardsley, Esq.; deputy county clerk, arrived in tho city a few days pince. He contemplates settling in Ne braska again. The Nebraska City Times says the time was when the brains were cut the man would die but indicates that such has not been the result with the Demo cratic party. The good people of Rock Bluffs are building a fine brick church for worship by the M. E. denomination. It is 20x40 feet, and the walls are now tip to the height of four or five feet. . The Chronicle is making Herculean ef forts to arouse the people of Nebraska City from the lethargy which seems to overcome them since the opening of the B. &. M. to Plattsmouth. It cites the prosperity of Plattsmouth as an induce ment, and urges the people to action un less they are willing to be outstripped by us. . II. K. Montgomery, Esq., tumbled half a dozen cars of corn into our office this morning, gathered at random from a load, which will average thirteen inches in length and weigh one and a half pounds each. It will "turn off" one hundred and twenty-five bushels per acre. Montgomery can go up head. The Times says Representative elect W. E. Dillon, has already received fif teen petitions from Otoe county farmers day we heard a dealer trying to bargain asking for thcpassage of a general herd for a flat car upon which to load grain for Again there is a rush of grain to the great central market of the State Platts mouth. Every available car is pressed into the service for shipment, and ye--ter law. yVe believe the time has come for the passage of this law. Taffe's majority in a single precinct was larger than all the majorities Lake received in the entire State. Lake's en tire majorities in the State figure up 224, while Taffe's majority in Brownville precinct was 227. W e are in receipt of the second num ber of the Jf county Chronicle, pub lished at Malvern, Mills county, Iowa. It is a neat sheet ; published by II. A. Copeland & Son. The experiment of Mr. Merriman at this city has been the subject for newspaper articles all over the west. Everybody recognizes his invention as one of the best of the age. Chicago As we stated last Spring, there is more grain raised this-season in the country tributary to Plattsmouth than can be possibly be shipped east over one line of road, and the amount produced will be doubled every year for, the next five years. e must have more railroads. The Brooks House changed hands this morning, Mr. John Fitzgerald, the owner of the building, taking charge of the concern in person, lutz. will look after it until such time as he can find the right k.nd of a man to take it. We have heard several persons express a desire to see Capt. E,B. Murphy take hold of it. He is looked upon as one of the best landlords in the west, and we doubt not he would make the Brooks House just what it should be. . Mr. Lewis II. Young, living eight miles south of Plattsmouth, brought to the Herald office to-day a specimen of apples raised by him, which would aston ish many of our eastern readers, could they see them. They are large, fine ap ples as you will find in any eastern or chard. They were raised on a tree planted fourteenyears ago, which meas ures 32 inches around the trunk below the limbs. Every year brings new ev idences that Nebraska is a first class fruit country, and we only need a little time and experience to ascerta;n what varieties are best adapted to our soil and climate. We copy to-day, from the State Jour nal, a lengthy article headed "Those Charges, to which we invite the espe cial attention of those individuals who have been busy circulating the reports during the recent campaign that Gov. Butler was a thief and a scouudrel. Let a?- who are interested, and who are not, come up to the rack and either prove that there are some grounds for accusations against the Governor, or else acknowledge that he has been grossly wronged.

No one knows better than New man the poverty of the craft, and no one has a greater desire to see them look respectable. When he pretends to take pay for goods his prices are so, low that it seems like giving them away. Hortin & Jenks, of Weeping Water Six hundred dollars was paid for three were m the city to-day.

We publish an article to-day signed "" in which our correspondent seems to think that an effort is being made by the Herald to pledge Cass county to Gen. Thayer. Such is not the case, neither could such a thing be did even if the Herald, our correspondent, or any one else, desired it. There are, unfor tunately, two democrats elected from this county who have a voice in the se lection of U. S. Senators. Whether or not the "People" of Nebraska are in fa vor of the reelection of Senator Thayer, we cannot say, but we do believe that a greater number of Republicans of the State favor his re-election than that of any other one man. Yet we do not pre tend to know even this, and only speak of it as a matter of belief on our part. The point we do desire to be understood in regard to is this we are opposed to the election of any man to the Senate of the United States who courts favor with democratic members of the Legislature to secure an election, when there is a clear Republican majority in that body. In other words, we are opposed to unit ing the disappointed Republican minor ity in the Legislature with the democrats of that body for the purpose of choosing a senator over the will of a Republican majority. If a majority of the Repub licans of the Lagislature favor the elect tion of some other man than Senator Thayer, we say amen : but we do not say amen to a coalition of democrats anu a Republican minority for the purpose of defeating Senator Tha3er or any other I .Republican that may see fit to apply for an election. We do believe that a ma jority of the Republican members of the Legislature prefer the re-election of Gen. Thayer, yet it may not be so : and we do believe that there are influences at work to defeat the will of this majority by bringing about a coalition between the disappointed Republican minority and the democrats : yet we hope this idea may prove to be erroneous. uii: ma jo mi it. It is now thought that Taffe's majority will not vary fifty votes from 4,300, and Butler's will not vary fifty from 2,400. This will be an increase for Ttiffe of nearly 2,000 over 1SG8. riFTirIIf ASMVERSART. To day, (Oct. 20) is the fiftieth an niversary of the wedding o' George G. and Elizabeth Tutt, of this city. Mr. Tutt is aged 75 years and his faithful spouse the "girl of his choice" of fif ty years ago is aged 70 years. They are a hale and hearty old couple with as much of the "spice of life" left iu them as many of the present day. They are surrounded by children, grand children and great grandchildren to make their declining years happy. a iii:ty cheat. Yesterday the proprietor of the City Hotel purchased two rolls of butter, weighing about eight pounds each, from a farmer. Last evening they cut one of the rolls to place on the table when it was discovered that the butter was less than half an inch thick, the remainder, of the roll being tallow. Both rolls were the same. Holland says he will not ex pose the name of the villain if he will bring him the requisite amount of good butter or repay the money. 'Plain Home Talk." Is the title of a new medical book just issued by Edward 13. Foote, M. D. Its name indicates the character of the work it being a work which the common reader can understand. It is also appropriately termed "Medical common sense," and treats more particularly of the method of preventing disease than of curing. from a casual glance through the book we consider it lust the thmff needed in every house. It is embelished with over 200 illustrations. It is sold by subscription only. C. E. Forgy, Esq of this city, is agent for the sale of the book in this locality. He has already taken a large number of orders. Every one who understands the nature of the work will not be without it J.ICtiAL. lli.AMS.

We heard a prominent Democrat of the city remark receutly that a law should be passed making it criminal of fense for any person to peddle a "bogus" ticket on election day. That would have been a little tough on his party during the late election, for they did not have anything but "bogus" or "mixed" tick ets in this county. County Clerk Isaac Pollard came up yesterday and examined into the canvass. of the votes of the Seventh Senatorial district and the giving of the certificate of election to Mr. Pottenger. We un derstand he endorses the course pursued by the Board. II. A M. IN SERKASKA. "During our recent visit to Lincoln we had the pleasure of traveling over this first class road the only one completed to Lincoln. The B. & M., both in Ne braska and Iowa are noted for the affable and courteo iS conductors which they em ploy: but to our mind none of them compare in politeness and social qualities with conductor Shepherd. Had the N. W. railroad a fev such conductors the travel on the road would be greatly in creased." The above item is from the pen of J, D. Lauer, the famous "local" of theNe braska City Times.

Also, to the people of Plattsmouth generally, for their respect to his beloved dead ; and very especially to Mr. L. F.

A tiOOU MOVE. We understand that the Board of Di rectors of the Young Men's Christian Association of this place", appointed a committee to wait upon the business men of our town, for the purpose of hav ing them close their respective places of business at as early an hour in the even ing as is consistent with the require ments of business, to the end that their employees may be afforded an opportu nity of attending the meetings of the association, and be enabled to enjoy the large amount of reading matter which it is proposed to furnish their reading room with. We heartily endorse this move ment, and .hope our business men wil second the effort of the association in improving the minds of their employees. If all adopt the rule, fuel and lights will be saved to merchants, while consumers will soon learn to transact their business during business hours. We notice by the Gazette that Mr. James F. Joy, the eminent railroad manasrer, is in St. Joenh. This is the gentleman with whom citizens of Brown ville, Nebraska City.

We published, yesterday, a statement of the facts in connection with the issu ing of the certificate of election to Willet Pottenger as Senator from the Seventh District. The fraud (we can not call it by a milder name and do it justice,) is so palpable that even Pottenger and his most intimate political friends do not pretend to claim that he has any right to the seat, nor that he received a majority of the legal votes of the district: but the secret of the game is exposed in the sim pie fact that Pottenger's political friends are ofFerintr to bet money that he will hold his seat until after the electio i of U.

The following morning on going to the shop he found the horse at the door; and again drove him off, but the horse came back, and entered the shop, walked up to the anvil, and there raised his foot, thus attracting the attention of the smith, who examined the foot, and finding it worn off to the "quick," kindly picked up an old shoe and firing it to his foot, nailed it on ; when the grateful animal, frisking his tail by way of thanks, trotted off contentedly."

Shame upon the man who is so devoid of principles of political hones ty that he will accept a certificate of election when he does not even claim that he is entitled to the seat as a mat ter of right, and when a majority of the board of canvassers say publicly that it is a fraud upon the people that he should hold a certificate of election.
