There arc "wars and rumors of wars"
at the capital, and the howl against the
State officers is loud and long. Myste
rious whispers are heard of positive evi
dence sufficient to convict this and that
man of "high crimes and misdemean

to rcuder "equal and exact justice"
to stay their indignation and withhold
their censure until the full evidence, on
Loth sides, is heard.
We learn that some of our citizens un

we have serious misgivings about the

From a gentleman who came from
Lincoln this morning we learn that a Mr,
Geary, who lived some ntteen uiue.s
from Lincoln, was killed last Saturday
evening, about five o'clock, by a man
named Calavan, who Hved neighbor to
him. There appears to have been seme
difficulty between the two men in conse
quence of too great an intimacy between
, i
Calavan and Geary's wife.
words passed, when Geary picked up a
neck yoke but made no further demon
strations cf violence. Calavan immediate
ly rushed upon him with a large sized
pocket knife, stabbing him to the heart
the first stroke. Geary only lived about
two minutes. O.lavan endeavored to
escape, but was caught about 12 o'clock
Saturday night and brought to Lincoln,
where he was lodged in jail.
HOW ABOUT THE FBEITS?
The Lincoln Journal of last week says
that lumber is received iu that city Tia
the O. & S. W. R. R. at eight dollars
on a car load cheaper than via this city
and the B. & M. Now, we aro hardly
willing to believe that the Journal would
wilfully misrepresent the facts, but we
arc very positive that it is grossly mista
ken in this matter. At the time
the Journal article was written
the freight per car load of lumVer, from
Chicago to Lincoln via the O. & S. W.
Railroad, was $158 00 while it was only
J 135.00 via the B. & M. and this city,
being $22.00 cheaper on a car load via
the B. & M. The rate on the B. & M.
has since been reduced to $113.50, mak
ing it thirty-nine dollars on a car load
cheaper via Plattsmouth than via the O.
& S. W. We expect our neighbor of
the Journal to do the B. & M. the jus
tice to make the correction.
A CARD.
Prof. d'Aliemand returns his best
thanks to "Spectator" for the flattering
report of the Collegiate School Inhibition,
and, to the Examiners for their kind ser
vices and verdict. Also, to the many
ladies and gentlemen who encouraged
the examination with their presence and
approval, and, indeed, to tho good citi
zens generally, for the kind interest they
take in patronizing him in his effort to
establish a good, private school. Be
ginning four months ago, with only four
teen pupils, he has now fifty, and several
applications for admission to the New
Academy.
To show the citizens that he is in real
earnest about the establishment of a
Permanent School, he would beg to in
form them, that he has purchased Prof.
James' property which he will enlarge
and improve for the purpose. He
would also state that he is in communi
cation with a lady who will teach vocal
and instrumental music in his school
next term.
Hester was around again to day with
lettuce end rhubarb. There is no use
talking, Ilesser is ahead cf the world cn
gardening. We venture to say that no
other city in the west is regularly sup
plied with garden vegetables at this sea
son of the year.
Nebraska City seems to be on the
"down grade," at least so far as news
papers arc concerned. Four dailies and
two weeklies have "gone where the
woodbine twineth" within the past year, -
and now the ZeilungJfr. Rentier's paj
per has followed suit.
Mr. Stevens went to Nebraska City
with his Dramatic Troupe and performed
there last evening. There being no
daily paper there, and consequently very
little enterprise, ho had but a poor au
dience, and left this morning in disgust,
notwithstanding ho had bill3 and pro
grammes already printed for two nights,
They went to Liucoln by the 10:45 a. m.

St. A. D. Balcomb, over his own sig
nature in the Republican, speaks of Gov.
Butler and Hon. C. II. Gere, of the Lin
coln Journal, as "an impeached official
at the criminals bar, and his employee."
There is no personal feeling in that.
Oh, no !
T. II. Goodwin, of tonsoral notoriety

Clothing Emporium. He has his es
tablishment nice'y carpeted and papered
and everything has an air of ncatnoss.

and childrens' hair.
A man, whose name wo could not
ascertain, has made himself very conspi
cious last night and to-day by his drunk
en shouts. lie was brought before the
Recorder and fined, but it did not work
a reform. About three o'clock this af
ternoon he passhdup Main street flour
ishing a loaded Spencer rifle. Sheriff
Johnson took the cartridges from his
gun, and ttarted him homewards (he
was hauling lumber for Ilorton & Jcnks)
as soon as he turned a corner he com
menced to reload the gun, when the
Sheriff 'moved on his works' and took
tho gun from him. He left for keep
ing Water minus his armament.
The Plattsmouth Herald is in danger
of overdoing Gov. Butler's defence. It
was no part of the Committee's duty to
fry him : Republican.
There is no kind of danger of the lie
publican "overdoing his defence," .but
it may overdo its part in the persecution
business. Of course "itwasnopart of
the Committee's duty to try him," but
it teas "a part of their duty," in' our
judgement, to give him ot least a show
of fairness, and not proclaim him to the
world as a scoundrel on oue-sided testi
mony. Does the RciuUican endorse
the action of the Committee in this res
pect? When a Hindoo pri ;t h about to
br.ptizc an infant he utters the following
beautiful sentiment: "Little babe,
thou enterest the world weeping while
all around you smile ; contrive so to live
that you may depart in smiies while all
around you weep,"
A sharp young woman says there is

The exhibition at Naomi Institute last
Friday evening was a far greater success
than any one had dared to hope for.
everything passed off in the very best
manner, and all were pleased. Not
withstanding the fact that the partition
w.i removed and the lloorof the recita
tion room ck-vatcd fur a stage, the house
was packed as long as a single person
poiild find settina- or standing room, and
I over two hundred people were compelled
gain admittance. We learn that another
exhibition will be given on Friday even
ing next, (the luth). tho proceeds to be
applied to the purchase of a piano or
organ for the use cf the school.
It may not be amiss, in this connection
to say a word in reference to this school
and its most excellent Principal. Prof.
Patterson conceived the idea of a school
of this kind at Rock Bluffs, something
like one year ago, and he immediately
set about the work of securing it. lie
secured the groand a block and a-half
in a very eligible site, secured the burn
ing of a kiln of brick for the especial
purpose, sold a few scholarships to make
up a sufficient sum of money to insure
the linunc-ial success qf the building, and
about June of Iat year he commenced
the erection of his building, which is 25
x50 feet, two stories high and cost about
$:j,530. He opened his first term or
rather part term about the 1st of Sep
tember last, with 43 scholars. Now he
has about 100 scholars, with as bright a
future for his enterprise as any institute
of learning in the west. To say that
Prof. Patterson is a successful teacher
is not suffienty expressive. He
has a peculiar faculty of dealing with
youihfu) minis, as well as with those ap
proaching maturity. "? ? the possessor
of the secret of causing his pupws to
love to learn. His government over
them is complete, and the obedienoc ren
dered is from the fullness of the heart,
and not through fear of any penalty ex
cept the displeasure of the teacher. We
spent a few hours in this school a
skort time since, and we could almost
"write a book" upon the things to which
we gained an insight in that brief visit,
but we will only say to parents who de
sirs their children properly educated
that they cannot find a better place than
at Naomi Institute. There they wil! be
surrounded by tha best of influences,
both nigral and intellectual. The spring
term of this school will open on Tues
day, March 21st, and while we doubt not
Prof. Patterson will accommodate a lew
mora pupils, we are confident he care's
but little for taking tliem for a sinirle
term. His methods of teaching differ
somewhat from nian3' teachers, and a
single term will not show the apparent
advancement that most parents might
expect ; but let your children attend
Naomi for the purpose of being educa
ted not merely to learn a lesson or two
and we will guarantee that you will be
satisfied.
"ctiia with res a?ii rExtiL."
We have jnst received from the pub
lishers, Pitkin Sl Parker, "J2 Dearborn
St., Chicago, 111., a new and valuable
work by "Samuel Hazard," bearing the
above title.
Here are six hundred octavo pagea
filled with entertainment fresh from the
Island of Cuba. Indeed, Cuba herself
n all her charmes, in all Ler romance
her cities and plantations her streets
and her homes he virtues and her vices
has been photographed by the pen and
pencil of Mr- Hazard in the book before
us. We arc all interested in the beauti
ful Island, for Manifest destiny has
marked her for our own.
The present struggle of her brave pa
triots to achieve her independence from
Spain, makes Cuba doubly interesting at
this moment. In this book we learn all
that can be told us of this beautiful Is
land. The work of Mr. Hazard has
1 twenty beautiful full page cuts, besides
two hundred and ninety-three other il
lustrations of the life and scenery of
Cuba. The ,tyla of the author, and his
illustrations, have a humorous side, re
minding us ox" Mark Twain's "Innocents
Abroad." The publishers are now put
ting agents into the field to sell this book
by subscription. If any work will sell in
our western homes thi3 will. It will fell
itself. Yes, it will sell itself. Individual
wishing the book, er parties desiring the
work to sell, can address the publishers.
SEW KOOFIJItt MATEMAI..
We mentioned the fact, some days
since, that Mr. L. Foster, of Burlington
was in the city with a new patent mater
ial for roofing. Since that time we
have had the pleasure of examining the
material used by him, and we do not
hesitate to pronounce it a ver3' superior
article. He is now engaged in putting
a new roof on the R. R. Machine Shops
and Round House in this city, and those
who contemplate building would do well
to examine it while they can sec the
entire process of putting on as well as to
examine thi material itself. Mr. Por
ter uses the woolen felting, which is put
on in layers, the same as shingles, be
ing put together with pitch. This pro
cess makes three thicknesses of felt with
a light coat of pitch between each layer.
The whole surface is then pitched over
again, and another layer of felting is put
on top of all, running from top to bottom
of the roof or directly accross the other
layers. The edges of these are lapped
a little, and wooden lath is nailed over
the joint to hold the whole to its place.
On the top of all this is put a coat of
patent concrete, which is put on as a
paste and coarse sand sprinkled over it.
This is allowed time to harden, when an
other coat of concrete is added, which is
covered with fine gravel. This com
pletes a roof which certainly can never
wear out does not get so hsrd as to
crack, neither will it run in the hottest
weather. An examination of the roof
being put on the railroad shops will con
vince any man that Mr. Foster's method
of roofing houses is a very superior one.
And one of its great beauties is that it
i3 cheap costing no more than an ordi
nary shingle roof.
Sometime about the "weesrua' hours'
last night an express driver named John
Beverage had his right arm dislocated at
the elbow. After fruitless efforts tp ob
tain the services of the nearest surgeons,
and a delay of several hours, during
which the sufTerins of the patiest wag
very grcat, Dr. Rawlins was sent for,
and chloroform and the surgeon give
prompt relief. We did not learn how
the accident happened, and the question
now is who pvuhed Johny Beverage ?and

Mr. Editoh: I have been waiting in
v:iiri to read in your Herald a commu
nication from some one or more of the
numerous friends of education, who at
tended the examination and exhibition
of Prof. d'Allemani'sColIcgiite School,
in Whits t Spires' Hall, last week. I
was not present during all the exercises,
either iu the afternoon or evening, but
while present at the examination in the
afternoon, I was gratified to hear ths
Rev. Mr. McLeod's commendation of
the Reading class, which he examined.
The Rev. Mr- Maxfield examined the
senior class in Arithmetic, and I was
pleased to hear him remark, subsequent
Jy, that they fully comprehended the sub
ject matter under consideration. The
feasibility and readiness with which they
solved the difficult questions which the
examiner gave them to demonstrate on the
black board were apparent to every one
of the large and intelligent audience.
The juvenile class in Geography was
examined by Rev. Mr. Cameron, and I
believe the children all acquitted them
selves to the satisfaction of every one.
The class in German was examined by
Mr. Waugh, and I should judge, by my
ear, d it it v;as ffoot.
Those who know, say that Prof. d'Al
iemand is a first rate French & German
scholar, and I would advise all who wish
to learn to speak either French or Ger
man to call on the Professor before his
hands cet too full. The crowded Hall in
the evening showed unusual interest in
the proceedings, and the Declamation,
Recitations, Readings, Singing and Mu
sic, were abundant and excellent. Dog
berry has said that "comparisons are
odorous;'' therefore I cannot be wore
specific and particular where all did the
best they could to entertain, amuse and
instruct the very lur-sj and delighted au
dience with wliiCu tic "as nllL"
Prof. d'Alleuiand's school is one C. !J
Institutions of PJattsmouth with which
we cannot afford to dispense, and I am
gratified to learn that the Professor is
now negotiating for the purchase of a
commodious and comfortable place in
in which he can accommodate a few
more pupils. Success to the accom
plished ProtVssor and tho Plattsmouth

Plattsmoctii, March 3.
Mr. Editor: Sir: In answer to
your request in Thursday's issue, in re
gard to the exhibition given by rrof.
d'Alletnand's School, and as we attended
we will say all were amply repaid The
address, by Prof. d'Aliemand, was a
neatly turned compliment to the ladies
in attendance ; then followed a dialogue
by Master d'Aliemand and a lad whose
name we did not ascertain, we would say
to them, well don. None would fail to
appreciate the sweet, birdlike voice of
little Katie Johnsnn--and well worthy of
mention is the class in Gorman. The
love ditty in the dialect of the "Father
land'' was charming. The evonings en
tertainment was further enlivened with
singing by Mr. J. W. Marshall, Mrs.
Guard and Mrs. Vinton. The voice of
Mrs Guard is both pure and powerful,
and she was nobly supported by Mrs.
Vinton, with her rich contralto. Platts
mouth has talent of which it can justly
boast. The Professor is to give another
entertainment and we hope you may hear
and judge for yourself. Spectator.

10 a. m. Tuesday and asked until 10 a m

Lincoln, March ",, 1871.
Editor Hkrald : On Saturday. Mr
Myers. Chairman of the Board of Man
agers, presented to the House the Arti
cles of Impeachment against Governor
Butler. The House resved itself into
the Committee of the Whole for their
consideration. The articles were read to
the House by the Chairman and adopted
without tk-baie or a dissenting voice, af
ter which the officeis and members of
the House, headed by Mr. Bcall, (the
oldest and largest member), marched in
a body to the bar cf the Senate, and
there the articles were formally present
ed to the Senate.
The Senate, by the adoption of a reso
lution, LaT?- agreed to notify the mana
gers at 1 o'clock to-day tL't ??cy are a
court, and ready to begin the trial of
David Butler. The Senate Chamber
has been refitted, desks and tables for
the use of the counsels have been
brought in, and everything is in readi
ness to proceed. It is supposed that
Governor Butler will ask a few days to
file his answer, which will be granted,
and then will the work go bravely on.
ARTICLES OF IMPEAC HMENT.
There are eleven separate articles pre
sented at this time, the Board of Mana
gers reserve the right to prepare others
if necessary. They aro got up in good
shape, and it is to be seen that no little
time and study has been spent in their
preparation. I will give very briefly the
substance of the different articles:
Art. 1, Is in relation to collection of
the 10,81.20 five per cent, fund and
converting the same to his own use.
Art. 2. The pollution of his exalted
oilice, by extorting money from contract
ors, etc. Tho McBird evidence is re
ferred to, also Mr. Brock's the Gover
nor to secure him the Treasuryship of
the Board of Begents for $75!).i0; also
testimony of Representative Hail, to
whom the Governor would lease Saline
lands for a bonus of $."Oo0.00 ; also evi
dence of others swearing to bribery in
locating the Asylum.
Art. 3. The over pay of Col. C. S.
Chase Attorney for the State.
ART. 4. Relates to the letting of the
contract for building the Asylum to Mr.
Ward, he giving no security for faithful
fulfillment of contract.
Art. j. Open violation of law. in ex
ceeding appropriation in errccting of
&trtte buIUing
Art. 0. By a special message to the
House he f;de!y declared that he had
paid thai s? 10, SSI 20 into the State
Treasurey, thereby committing a misde
meanor in otTice.
Art. 7. Refers to the carle-s and pro
miscuous distribution of the School Fund
Art. S. Accuses him of receiving
money from the Board of Immigration
and the same should have been de
posited in the State Treasury, which he
never did.
Art- 9. Swindling the State by pat
enting certain lands to the Northern
Nebraska Air-line R. R.
Art. 10. Sets forth that he has com
mitted numerous high crimes etc. in the
sale of Lincoln Lots, that he has appro
priated money derived from the sale of
State lots to his own me.
Art. 11. Says, ( J uilty of corrupt prac
tices in his official capacity as State
Commissioner, and refers to the evidence
taken on that point.
If lie is found guilty of the charges
preferred in either of the Article, he is
thrown out of office and forever hereaf
ter debarred from boiling any other
office of trust or honor in this
State.
As there U two Senators absent,
Kennedy and Tennant. it will take all
t!:e votes of that body but three to con
vict. , , , .
The IlousO failed to impeach anybody
Saturday, the excitement necessarily
bezan to cool down, and something was
wanting to keen Lincoln in her element.
This was remedied just about d.uk by
one Marion Culahrm stabbing to duaib
John Geary, both parties live about
fourteen hiilcs south of this place and
had come to town to beg.'O a suit for a
divorce, as Geary's wife had been guilty
of criminal intercourse with Calujau.
The murderer was apprehended yester
day morning near his farm aud is now
here in jail.

journment is at the present time, and
has been for the past few days agitating
the minds of the members of the House,
There is a variety of opinion on the
question whether the House can adjourn
and tha Senate temain in session as a
court. The Attorney General and Gen
eral Estabrook in their opinions submit
ted to the House yesterday, cited two in
stances in English history where Parli
ment had done this. It is unreasonable
to suppose that any action of tho House
of Lords or Parliment, where members
are elected for life, can be made a presi
dent for the Nebraska Legislature.
There appears to be a majority who are
in favor of adjournment as soon as the
Bills now introduced have been disposed
7f and the impeachment trial has got
fairly uneer way- If the house does ad
journ, now that Governor Butler 13 oust
ed from his office, and the Acting Gov
ernor has not the power to call an extra
session, I think we will have the worst
mixed up case on record.
We give the Legislature of Nebraska
credit for a higher regard for the princi
ples of justice, and as possessing more
honesty of purpose than weuld be ex
hibited by the perpetration of so gross
an act as to throw a man out of office
without a hearing, install his successor,
and then adjourn to let matters lcmain
in this state until his term of office ex
pires. However, the opinion that this
will be the result, :-ecms now to be en 1
tcrtaincd by many. 1
The Senate yesterday resolved itself
into a court, and the oath was adminis
tered to Senators to render a verdict in
accordance with testimony, etc. They
then issued a summons for the appear
ance of David Butler before the Senate
to morrow at 10 o'clock, and then ad-j:-urueJ
as a court until that time, and
resumed work on the bills now to be hur
ried through .
A new apportionment bill was intro
duced iu the Senate, and after suffering
a fearful butchering, passed that body,
and will be considered in the House to
day. The Senate also passed a joint
resolution for the appointment of a com
mittee to settle with State officers ac
cused of appropriating State money, in
divers ways, to their own use.
The bi!l to encourage the development
of coal mines has passed the Senate and
will pass tho llou.--e to day.
The managers of "honest" John Gil
lespie's impeachment have secured the
services of Judgo J. F. Kinney and
Judge Wakely to aid in the preparation
of the articles. They will probabl3' be
able to present them to the House for
adoption to-day.
Gov. Butler is taking matters very
good naturcdly, and does not hesitate to
say that after a fair trial he will be re-instated,
the Omaha Herald and lupulli
lican to the contrary notwithstanding.
Lltic.
Lincoln, G. 5. p. m.
In response to a resolution adopted in
the Ileuse, the Attorney General and
General Estabrook submitted their
opinion to-day, that tho Hout-e could
adjourn and not effect the impeachment
trial before the Senate. Members are
inclined to (lifter 01! -his r.niat. Proba
bly the House will uot a-jjouT:? at pro
sen. The managers of Gillespies' impeach
ment will report to the House to mor
row. Judges Kinney and Wakley are
assisting them in preparing articles.
: The managers came before the Sen
ate this afternoon.
A summons for the appsarrince of
Governor Butler before that body to
morrow at 10 o'clock was issued.
No further action will be taken until
that time. Leck.
SCHOOL EXtllHI I IO.V AT I'E.XTKE
VALLEY.
Mr-Editor: We had the pleasure
of attending an exhibition at the Centre
Valley school house, school district No.
21, on Saturday evening the 4th inst.,
conducted by our teacher, Mr. D. C.
Fleming. At an early hour the house
was densely crowded by an appreciative
audience ; everything passed ofi" iu a
most agreeable manner, giving entire
satisfaction to all present, reflecting
great credit upon the scholars, and par
ticularly upon the teacher, who spared
no pains ts make it a success.
The exhibition consisted of vocal and
instrumental music, declamation?, recita
tions, charades, tableaux, etc., etc.; also
con:ie songs by the inimitable Cox. We
think great praise is due to Misses Addie
Lathrop, Ellen Rector, Norah Winchel,
Emma Gihnore, Ann Gilmore, Lemma
Rodgcrs, Rossie Rector, Mary Fowler,
Mary Fnltz, Suari Fultz, Josephine
Carper, Carolina jjarnrop ani ?iary car
ter ; also Masters James Stockham, Wil
burn Barber, Simeon Rector, Alfred
Carper, John Fowler, Charles Farley,
Joseph Stockham, Samuel- Stockham,
William Stockham, James Carper, Har
vey Stockham, Johnnie Carper, Henry
Carter, Howard Cox," Johnnie Gihnore,
Newton Lathrop, Richard Cox, William
Carter, Joseph Gilmore, George Tiui
blen, George Ccpple, John Copple,
Nicholas Meyer and Mat has Meyer, for
the ability each displayed in performing
their part.
But in our opinion the finest part of
the exercise was a clas in Arithmetic led
by Prof. Johnnie Carper, a boy about
seven years of age, he having asked
questions that would reflect honor upon
a peraon of more mature 3'ears, all of
which were promptly answered by this
interesting class, composed of boys and
girls of about the same age as their
j-outhful leader. We learn from the
teachers that this is no k-'s than a class
of l'ritfcs. ors.
It is but ju.-t to a l l that Mr. Fleming
is one of Cass county's best educators
and he hce labored hard to bring our
school up to rank favorably with any in
the county.

TUc Sale of Arm.
In regard to the action of the Presi
ded, directing the Secretary of War to
suspend tho sale of ordinance and muni
tions of war, in order to conciliate the
Germans, it is stated that Baron von
Gerolt called upon the Secretary of War
at the time the proposition was made to
dispose of a large number of arms, and
asked that no sales should be made until
the Prussian Government could make a
proposition to purchase the entire lot of
fered. The Secretary of War, in reply,
said the Government would not, under
any circumstances, sell to a foreign Gov
ernment. The right to dipose of the
arms to its own citizens had not been dis
puted, any more than the right of pri
vate compauies to fulfill contracts, and
that the sale of i;Tms should go on the
same as before the war.

It is said that in the Antarctic seas
there are sea weeds which have steins
about twenty feet high, and with a

replied, that while he "deemed it foreign

The number of left handed pcop'e
seems to be on the i;ie:ei-'p. Formerly
it was quite a rare tiling to meet a poi
son who gave the .reference to the left
hand, and those addicted to it wr re a
little disposed to conceal the peculiarity,
but now it is r.o unusual thing to seo a
lady or gentleman sitting at the table
with the knif.i in the left hand, and the
cup of tea at the left side of the plate.
This reverse of the general order ef
things appears awkward enough, yet we
do not. know but the time is coming when
the left hand will generally have prefer
ence over the right. In one schoolroom
at Perrysburg there are fifteen left-hand
ed children. This indicates rapid pro
gress on the part of the kit digits in
their struggle to jaiu the mastery over
those of the riht hind. - -How long will
it be ere we shall be told to 'put the left
foot foremost." and bear people speak
or the ;tror.g kit arm.'
The lemons of the war to surgical

One of the most remarkable facts made
known from the hospital reports is that
the French soldier, have suffered woie
from the Prussian shells than from the
needle gun and bayonet combined. This
is contrary to usual experience, which
has reckoned artillery more powerful to
frighten than to harm ; but it agrees with
Napoleon's reported remark to King
William at Sedan, as to the marvelous
precision of the German cannoneer. It
is also said that the i.edile-gun bullets,
though larger than those of the casepot,
do not penetrate the flesh so far, and so
make less serious wound?. The sword
bayonet ued by the French is a much
more savage weapon than the old-fashioned
triangular blade, which is stiil re
tained by the Prussians. Shell wounds
aie found to heal very easily if co bvJncs
are fractured.
