With this issue cf the IIebald an en
tire change takes place in the manage

ablo and fostering caro of the former
Editor, ?Ir. Hathaway, your county pa
per lias crown from a small bantling to a
fair s ir.cd, useful paper, xif whiah you
may well feel proud. Under the present
management, we hope to increase both
its size and it3 merits until it is second to
none in the State. We shall take a
prirlo in fo doing, and as fast as our
pa'.ronagc and support will warrant it,
you may rest assured wo shall enlarge
end beautify our paper.
To promote the best interests of our
Agricultural end manufacturing depart

prosperity of both town and county wil
be our first aim and object, for thereby
shall we enhance our own success and
wealth. Our interests and thoEC of our
readers are one in thij respect, irrespect

The wealth cf Nebraska must come
from thcL.ro.vth and development of her
Agricultural and Stock growing interests
for some years to come, and we Ehall con
si icr the best means of improving these
rccources of greater impoitancc than long
winded diatribes on political differences
and ffiuabldes.
Tor this purpose we cordially invito
our farmer?, stock raisers, and the repre
sentatives of such manufacturing inter
ests as we may have, to call upon us and
give us their views and the data for pro
jected improvements.
We also want, and need, short-, terse
articles on these subjects from our friends
in the country,' and shall take pleasure
n publishing the same.
Personal quarrels and useless contro
versies oa subjects cot of general interest
to tha public, have no place in the col
umns of a good nftcs-paper, and that ia
the kind of paper wc Eoall try to cake

Tfl r U A R ACT r. Ktt O V C A If St t DATES
It h3 btcotiio the fashion in these
days almost entirely to ignore the - great
principles of a party, to placo in bc
tack ground the tim and objects of a
political niorcvcnt or the test n;et!io1s
cf govercmen, and ia lieu theseof to
t ring forward mcxi, diseuse their peculiar
ities, their habits and the way in which
they c.n smoke a cigar, handle a horse
or give their experiences in farming,
rather than whether they represent the
principles of a party, or the convictions
of a majority cf tho people. There is a
large and influential weekly paper in
New York city, opposed to the Admin
istration, whose choicest epithet of ccn
gure casts upon our President is "TJtC si
lent smoker of the "White Iloase." Has
smoking then become a crime? Is ei
Icccc a state prison oUcnco? It is but a
little while ago that some of these very
men were "thanking God" that we had
& president who could do something else
besides make speeches and swing round
the ciicle. Grave, sound writers have
declared repeatedly that a s.eriou3 fault
of tho American people was their alarm
ing propensity to call for a tpcech at all
times, in ecason and out of Bcason ; on
the grandest or on the most trivial occa
sions the inevitable Bpcoch from soma
blow hard must come and did come.
It was declared that we had too many
speech-makers among our public men ;
gome were good for nothing else and not
skilled workmen in this branch even,
but yet caust try their hand. With this
experience before us, we found a man
who did not and would not make speeches,
and behold, it is imputed to him rs a
crime and seriously used against him as
a disqualification for his high ofiicc.
Hold hard, there is a still graver charge
made against this man. IIo owns,
drives, and likes trotting horses ; more,
he has been seen on a race-track.
If that disqualified a man from hold
ing public office, or showed a deficiency
of intellect amounting to incapacity for
the admistration of public affairs, what
a fix all our early Virginia Presidents
would have been in, and how very weak
atitl vacillating must have been the
minds of Washington, Madison, Monroe,
or how criminal the ideas of Clay, Cal
houn, and Randolph for they all not only
raised and bred race-horses, but the two
latter, at least, attended the course and
bet on tho races, or history has sadly
belied them.
Two of our greatest parliamentary
leaders in days gone by were notorious
gamblers, but it was never urged against
them as incapacitating them from hold
ing office, or as weakening their judg
ment about public affairs. Again we
haveliad men in our highest offices who
wero known libertines, yet never did
there seem to bo half as much fuss made
about these peculiarities as there has
about Gen. Grant's smoking and love of
a hcrse. Surely these aro. no crizne3 in
themselves, and we feel much more like
trusting to his judgment and clearness of
vision after a lively shako up behind a
two-thirty nag, than if ho had been por
ing over a deck of cards all night. "
On tho other hand wo have a philoso
pher whoso personal character is as pure
as the undriven enow, they tell us. Yet
his whito coat and hat, his social com
munity theories some years ago, and his
practical knowledge of farming are hurl
ed upon his devoted head wdth furious
force and vigor now that he has become
a candidate for the highest office in the
gift cf a nation. Truly the man that
runneth for office must needs be clad in
triple armor of uprightness, eobrioty,
and wisdom to make even a respectable
appearanco before hi3 enemies in theso
lists.
We are not at this time defending or
defaming the public course of these
men, but only deprecating so far a3 able
and as our influence goes, tho growing
tendency of tho Press and of individuals
to grovel in the secrets of a man's life, and
drag to the front his most private habits
or vices if you like, instead of his public
acts and dccd3. Tho nepotism of Grant,
if proven, his knowledge of corruption
vaunting itself in high places, if true, are
just grounds of criticism.
The temper of Greeley's mind as
shown by his "On to rJchmond," his
vagaries loading him to untried and un
authorized paths thereby rendering
him an unsafe counsellor and head, are
fair charges against hi3 candidacy, but
his white coat, his desire to see men
lead a happier and simpler mode of life,
or his hobbies about farming, no more
unfit him for public duty than doe's the
smokiug of cigars or the driving of a
good trotter unfit President Grant for
the place he occupies.

"Tho eminent German" has evidently
nrado a grand mistake ; he has been
most abominably sold out. A political
blunder has been defined by a great and
wary statesman as "a crime. Judging
by this standard our eminent German
friend might a3 well bo styled our emi
nent criminal, for sure no greater politi
cal blunder has" been committed of late
years than the attempt to carry a vast
and influential party over to the ranks
of the enemy without scarcely a 'by your
leave gentlemen,' and this must have
been the intention of Schurz, if, as re
ported, he aud his friends were expect
ing Adams to be the nominae of their
convention, and knowing they could
hope to win only by the aid and strength
of the Democratic party.
Not often does it happen that a
stranger in a strange land rises to high
position, and obtains tho confidence of
the people of a country to-any great ex
tent in so short a time as Mr. Schurz
has ia this Ameraca. He did not rise
by the aid of the Democratic party, he
did not gain this confidence by advocat
ing the principles of that party, yet in
the hour of need and danger he was
willing to sacrifice the principles and the
men that have given him his pre emi
nence, and by his own co-workers in a
foolish scheme has he been sold out.
"Sadly and sternly," we are told, did
he arise to announce the candidates
Greeley and Brown. Sadly, no doubt;
the crushing of a man's ambition by
treachery and fraud is apt to make him
feci sad. The sternest part of tho mat
ter however, will be on the other side
when the American people sum up the
measure of his acts hereafter, and rncto
out to him his reward.
XOT MCCJI.
The late Convention at Lincoln has
been stigmatized by its opponents as an
"Office-holders Convention." Let U3
see Cow this matter stands. Richardson
Nemaha, Otoe, Cass and Johnson, five
great counties that we know of, did not
have one single Federal office holder
among their delegations. Douglas, the
foremost county in population, had but
two out of twenty delegates. Lancaster,
one among nine ; and we are credibly
informod that as a body, there were few
er oSEee-holders present, than in any oth
er meeting of like kind ever held in this
State.
Mr. Bonner's stallion "Startle," wily
five years old on the 14th, driven by Geo
Hopkins, trotted half a mile on Fleet
wood park in the marvellous time of 1.
04. This is the fastest half mile by
two Eoconds ever made in hafness on
Fleetwood by any horse of any age.
Indeed it is the fastest half mile by two
seconds ever made anywhere by any
horse except Dexter, who once trotted
hall a mile in exactly tho same time.
"Startle" was timed by Thos. Carpen
ter, of Hartford, Mr. Gillcnder, Mr.
McGowan, and other gentlemen. "Star
tle" is the brother in brood to Dexter.
Mr. Bonner paid 20,000 for him in the
fall of 1870, but to-day good judges con
t-ider him worth lJlOO.000.

" A touching incident ia reported from
Chatanooga. An utter, stranger called
on a respectable farmer, last week, and
asked him if his house had not been
-robbed during tho war. The farircr re
plied that it had. ."I," said the Gran
ger, "was one of a marauding party that
did it. I took a little wlver locket."
"That locket,'' eaid the farmer, bursting
into tears, "had been worn by my dear
dead child." "nere it is," replied the
stranger vL-ibly affected ; "I am rich;
let me make restitution; hero are $20
for your little son." He gave the far
mer a $50 bill, and received $30 in
charge. IIo then wrung the farmer's
hand warmly, and left. The farmer has
since dried his tears, and loaded hi3 shot
gun, The $50 bill was bad. -.
Greeley Notes.
Suppose somebody had told Horace
Greeley nine years ago say about the
time of the New York riota that he
would by this time be a candidate for the
Presidency, "subject to tli3 decision of
the National Democratic Convention,"
what would ho have said ? He would have
called the individual a liar and a horse
thief.
Before the nomination of Mr. Greeley,
the Chicago Times said ; 'The greatest
objection to hiin'fias a candidate was, that
no two gentlemen could look each other
in the face and mention his name with
out laughing.
The environs of Greeley's farm at
Chappaqua swarm with photographers,
who are taking views of his residence,
barn, pig-stys, and hen coops, together
with accurate photographic representa
tions of his onion-beds and parsley-pastures,
and his hemlock, red-cedar, white,
red and burr oak, whitewood, chestnut,
white and blue beach, dogwood, white
ash, sugar and soft maple, elm, hickory,
hog-walnut, butternut, black, yellow
and white birch, pepperidge and yellow
poplar trees.
Sew TorH Notes.
A woman subscriber in Newfield, re
turned the Ithaca Democrat, with this
remark:
"Refused, if you send this paper you
do so on your own hooks." To which
the editor responded : -
"We do not send papers on 'hooks'
either on our own or anybody's else,
hence if Eliza will remit to us the $5,
now due us for two and a half -years'
reading of our paper, we will be satisfied
hooks or no hooks."

kept a flask of whisky with him on a
shooting trip, struck a race f ourse in the
suburbs on his return, and walked around
all night, wondering why he did'nfc get
to town.
ArUnnsn TVotes.
An Arkansas landlord thus profanely
advertises his hotel in the local papers :
"And Joseph wept aloud, and he said
unto his brcthcrcn, I am Joseph I am
Joseph; does my father yet live?" And
his bretheren answered him 'You bet ;
the old man is doing bully, for he boards
at the Cosmopolitan.' "
An. Arkansas sheriff was surprised,
the other day, to have a gentleman tap
him on the shoulder and inform him
that he was ready to be arrested. A
recognition followed, and the party was
duly incarcerated. It appears that he
was confined ia the parish jail a short
time ago, and took advantage of extra
privileges allowed him to lock the Sheriff
in one day, and departed to his home in
Arkansas. 'At the time cf his departure
he left a note for the Sheriff, 6tating
that he need feel no uneasiness, as he
would return when the court, met. He
kept his word.
Indian Territory JJotej.
Legal proceedings in the Indian Ter
ritory are cheerful. While a case was
in progress in a densely crowded court
room the party of the second part camo
in with that inestimable privilege called
habeas corpus. The way to execute this
writ in the Indian Territory is by firing
revolvers, rifles, shot-guns, and a free
use of the bowle knife. Such execution
is generally what itsnauae implies very
effective. On this occasion the eourt
rooin, as we have said, being excessively
crowded, a good many people were ha
leased. The parties to the suit were
killed. All the witnesses ware killed.
Several of the jury took no furtherin
terest in the proceeding; while the mar
shal had his bowels opened with a bullet
and the judge was so wounded that sit
ting in chancery or any other way is ex
tremely painful. We think the writ of
habeas coipus had better be euspended
in the Indian Territory, or an order is
sued requiring the court to hold its ses
sions in the open air. - If this sort of
thing continues the court will edou be
without business for the lack of parties
to carry it on.

Notes for the Hoys
The Rev. Mr. A had a large fam
ily of unruly boys, and one of them did
something very wrong, but as none of
them would confess it, he declared he
would whip" them all, and then he would
be sure to punish the real culprit.
Lisping Jimmy, the youngest, retired to

you say?" aked his father. "1 thaid,"
whimpered Jimmy, "that that'th jutht

the children, tho that he would bo thure
to kill Jesus."
"Tommy, my son, what aro you going
to do with that club ?" "Send it to the
editor, of course." "But, what are you
going to send it to the editor for?"
"Cause he snys if anybody will send him
a club he will send them a copy of his
paper." The mother came near faint
ing, but retained consciousness enough
to ask : "But Tommy, dear, what do
you suppose he wants with a club?"
"Well, I don't know," replied the hope
ful urchin, "unless it is to. knock down
subscribers as don't pay for their paper.'

Political Notes.
Dr. John II. Blue, of the Nebraska
City Nicies, has written a letter to the
Lincoln Statesman, that he is unequivo
cally for Greeley and Brown and opposed
to calling a Democratic Convention.
The Chicago Times continues to im
plore the Democrats to wait until the
Baltimore Convention meets before tak
ing any political position, and publishes
a list of ninety papers favoring the pas
sive policy, 44 that have declared against
Greeley and favor a straight democratic
ticket, and 29 that have pronounced for
Greeley unconditionally.
Among the many Republicans of Nem
aha, says the Brownville Democrat,
whoso endorsement of Greeley and Brown
13 so openly avowed that we may proper
ly allude to them, are A. P. Cogswell,
O. B. Ilewett. J. S. Churoh, J. C. Mc
Naughton, Theodore Hill, A. W. Mor
gan, John Blake, T. A. Creigh, O. K.
Fisher, C. W. Wheeler, Geo. B. Moore
a pretty fair list for a beginning. Wre
might add others.
Gratz Brown is said to be tho first red
haired aspirant for high office since Jef
ferson. The Chicago Tribune this morning pub
lishes an interview of a Washington cor
respondent with Charles Sumner. The
reporter says Sumner approved of the
Cincinnati platform as a fair, statsman
like scries of resolutions ; pronounced the
tariff plank the most honest expression
of that subject used by any convention
since he entered public life ; paid a high
compliment to Horace Greeley, and said
in case the campaign was made a person
al one between Greeley and Grant, he
should support the former.
A traveling correspondent in Tennessee
says Andy Johnson's word " is the po
litical law of Tcnnesso with the Demo
cratic party, and he will not support the
Liberal ticket. He has a vivid recollec
tion of the editorial penned by Mr. Gree
ley while his all was in the ballance, and
Stevens, Logan, and others, with the
powerful weight of the Tribune to help,
were pulling on tho beam. The Cincin
nati nominee took well at first with the
Democrats, but, after a few days of re
flection, they swear now by all the cross
bones and skulh of the Ku-klux-kjans
that rather than support Greeley they
will die in the lat ditch."
The Mo. Republican, the leading Dem
ocratic paper in the west, wades into the
New York World for advocating a
straight Democratic nomination, and con
cludes its article as follows :
"Without stopping to inquire the mo
tive of this marvelous inconsistency, we
are willing to suppose that the World
knows its own business best, and has a
good and sufficient reason for pursuing
a cou.se which, if it is endorsed at
Baltimore, will ensure two things beyond
a peradventure-ythe re-election of Grant
and the dissolution of the Democratic
party.
We believe the nomination of Horace
Greeley to be tho very' strongest that
could have been made, but if it were the
very weakest, its hearty support furnish
es the only possible means-by which the
country can be rescued from the dangers
that now encompass us. Grant is cer
tain of defeat if the Democracy join
hands with the Liberals; he is certain of
success if that alliance is not consum
mated. No better proof of this fact need
be sought than the advice so persistently
urged upon the democracy by the radical
press, to nominate a traight-out ticket.
The dallest observer of the situation must
see, and does see, that this step is all
that is required to give the present occu
pant of the Wrhito house another four
years lease. A Democratic nomination
at this juncture would be a etupendoas
farce without a single redeeming feature.
A corpse from the Instant of its birth,
that nominat:on would be burried and
forgotten long before the day of election;
and in its grave would be hidden every
hope of saving the republic m from the
grasp of the radical corruptionists. And
more than this such a nomination would
be the suicide pf the democratic party.
That party has touched a position where
it must gain substantia reinforcements,
or disappear from the theatre of public
affairs. Another hopeless contest follow
ed by an overwhelming ueieat, will inev
itably h ad to a demoralization equivalent
to annihilation. We caunot mrvive a
