Volume 8.
PU3STAS.
A great deal of talk is going on about
the Republican candidate for Governor,
and we are asked upon every side, "what
we think about it ?"
We think it is a false charge through
out. There has been nothing but second
hand evidence adduced as yet, to show
that Col. Furnas ever . received this, or
any other money.
We want to know something about the
character of Moffit, before we shall be
lieve his evidence as against the solemn
Dledffed word of Col. Furnas that there
is no foundation in the charge.
Another evidence that Furnas is right
and honest, is that we know him not to
be a natnral bom fool at all events, and
unless he was and is that, he would nev
er have allowed his name to go before
the Convention with that stain upon his
character.
The Col. is stumping the state, and is
away from the centres of news, and prob
ably has not seen Mr. Robertson's card ;
when he does, the facts of the certificate
and the payment of the money will no
doubt be called up.
Hon. S. M. Kirkpatrick, of this coui
ty authorizes us to say that the charge of
ehanging his vote, is altogether untrue,
as he voted on 3 way, an i for the remov
al of the Capital throughout the session.
Ths Omaha lhrald already admits
that this is the case, and is evidently
paving the way for a complete back down
on the whole matter. Our fair and oth
er matters aosoro our time ana space
to day, but we shall have further to say
on this matter sonn.
A writer iu the Trib. & Rep , calling
himself "Justice" says Dr. Miller got
the $3,000 and now wants to lay it on
Furnas. He claims to be an old resi
dent and fays ho knows.
A Southwestern editor remarks: 'If,
ia our school days, the rule of three is
proverbially trying, how much harder in
alter lite do we nnd the rule ot one.
He had been married only fourteen
months.

iioai aei.reseniA-ive.
This gentleman, by birth a German,
is a resident ol aarpy county, ana owns
farm in the neighborhood of Bellevue,
near the site of the eld town of St. Ma- j
ry s. lie isot middle age, a man oi nne
education, correct habits and good repu
tation among his neighbers. Among
our German- fwllow citizens he is exceed-
incly popular, as they have the strongest
confidence iu his integrity and ability.
At the last Republican State Conven
tion he received a complimentary vote
on the ballot for Secretary of State, and
we only publish what is already well
known and believed, that his accession
to the Legislature will add gieatly to the
influence and popuhuity of that body.
Identified with our agricultural interests,
he is the man to legislate for our .State
t this period in tha history of her de
velopment.
Lincoln, 2eb., Aug. 3.
Having had occasion to travel pretty ex
tensively through Nebraka, on the south
side of the Platte, recently, I would say
that I have never seen better prospects
tor crops than there are Lere. J he (Jreat
IJesert is blossoming like the rose.
Emigration is pouring in, and still there
are more coming. Nebraska is fast taking
the lead, and with such crops as sh is

Mr. Hesser showed us sweet pototoes
that weighed 5 pounds, a 25 pound cab
bage, five different varieties of cgg-plaut.
some of them large enough to be mistaken
melons, except the color. Also a fine
! specimen of the Chinese scarlet radish
which is very sweet, arid will keep uli
winter. Oi flowers, Mr. II. had one
b aiitiful basket bouquet, another of
verbenas, a tnow tree." ouite a curi-

rhubarb that weighed I lb. aud G ounces
An American Aloe attracted a good deal
of attention, and a very large specimen
of the :India Rubber Tree," unusual
in this country, also drew the attention
of many eyes.
FRUIT.
Mr. Ilobson, of Mt. Pleasant, showed
a pear Vicar ot WakeaeiJ, that
weighed 17 ounces, and a Bartlett, 12

apples that keep all winter, made the
mouth water and the mind lorni for social
evenings and a ood. rom-inz hickorv

1'eter Uoos exhibited an immense
specimen of Snngimoniun, or a variety
of the Castor Bean plant. It waj 12
feet high, and had branches like a tree.
W. S. West showed two large branch
es, we should call them, of the rapbcr
ry, one the Ohio ever bearing, ami the
other, Catawisa. One fancied raspbt r
ries and cream all in a minute, if he but
looked at these clusters.
Wm. Young took the premium on
Hi D3y, and certainly is a very cuthni

pounds to the box, and by a very ingeni

means of "Peabody's Honey Extract

pure and tran-parent as syrup, almost,
from the comb, and strange to say, it
leaves the comb unbroken, and they are
replaced in the hive for the bees to fill
again. In this manner 200 pounds of
honey is sometimes obtained from one
hive, and 120 to 150 lbs., is no uncom
mon yield.

against the suuny wall, a box of Italian

Referring to the Binghampton Roor
back Governor Seymour thus turned a
sharp point on Mr. Greeley's handwrit
ing, at his own expense:
I know it was said that at an early
day his nomination was contemplated by
my.-elf, and some very imaginative ren-
rlemea living in the southern part of the
btate have amused themselves by mak-
inir up affidavits to prove that his nomi
nation was in some degree brought
about by my interference. I don't know
these nnn. I only know that when they
Came before the public they don't seem
to stand upon the strenirth of their
wnrds but try to fortify themselves by
affidavits, which is as much as sayinn
Unit thni icoH'dn t be bdf ved unless theij
hud xworn to it.
We have said but little about the Fur
nas matter, as it was not a fight of our
making, nor did we think it needed our
answering Ihc it tonne, ami Itepuhh-
can is doing the subject justice. This
paragraph from the Herald stating Gov.
beymour s opinion of a party that re
quires to bolster up its tcords by ajfida-
vit.t strikes us as jut about the case with
Robertson and the Omaha lArald.
The Omaha Herald calls us a "fool."
fhis is dignified journalism, amazing
wit. ivcep your temper, Ueacon, and
tell us wh got the $3,000, and also how
much longer the citizens of Omaha will
put up wiih tho abuse 3'ou heap upon

estly believe that no of her ci ,y in Ameri
ca would allow such a sheet as you pub
lish to exist in its midt. And it we
were to edit the Nebraka Herald af
ter the same pattern, the indignant popu
lace would turn us, ofiico and all, into
the Missouri river.
We are afraid the people of Omaha
have become sa lly demoralize I under
vour rule. We know the Democratic
pies? of this State i- in a sad state from
following the leal of a man who is not a

were
brought about by the corrupt use of
money ; but since reading the late reve
lations of the Omaha Herald, the matter
is plain enough. It is their style of do
ing business. They have r.lways bought
and purchased, lied and stole tluir way
through, whenever they did succeed in
carrying any measure, until it is utter y
impossible for them to conceive, even,
of an honest, upright man acting from
honest motives and a sincere desire to
benefit his follow man, or to obey the be
hests of his constituents who are honest
men.
Behold the spectacle on this Furnas
matter. ' A band of Democrats, broth
ers, then, all of them, conspire and con
nive to cheat aud defraud cuch otber, fur
there is no doubt but that a regular gang
existed in Omaha from the vear '57
to '02 or '3, who made a regular bur-i-
ness of operating on ihn fars of the
citizens of that place in regard to the
moving of their cherished capital, and
who bled their own neighbors, friends
and br ther Democrats rcmorsele.-sly, in
order to pocket the money and grow
rich from the blood-money they thus
drew out of the pockets of timid prop
erty holders.
J o such a crowd, and m suca company
do we find almost every mau now prom

Furnas received money ; and ac the

The Herald at Omaha, still charges.
Let it charge, its power to injure is past.
As we suggested Col. Furnas was absent
in pursuit of his duty as a candidate.
Ie has returned to Om ha and is about
to institute a suit against the Umaha
Herald for libel. Meanwhile other
.1 1
grave and serious charges are being
made against the E litor of that paper
which places him in a position that no
loncst man can believe a word hz utters.
He is shown to be so utterly and thor
oughly corrupt and to have tampered
with the public aud private papers of
hie friends and his party, that no reli
ance can be placed on his word or the
tateraents of the piper he edits. We
are more and more inclined to believe
the whole matter a canard f the worst
and most unreliable stripe.

When in the regular course of Lu.1-.

published the Carmichail story of Grec
leys sale, backed up as it was, by the
affidavits of a number of citizens of the

here, raised a shout of derision, a bow
of scorn and stoutly declared "affidavits
prove nothing, they are all lies." And
yet these affidavits were from good men

all these facts in favor of its truth the
absurd cry is set up that they are not
true.

Robertson's affidavits?" llowdidyou
get over Carnnchacls Statements and
Carpenters affidavits? The plain facts
are, you do not want tn b.dicve affidavits,
or any other testimony except when it is
on your side.
As fur this paper, wc want some bet

Of cour-e Mofiitt would say thc-y paid

there is no doubt of that it is traced to
the hands of two Democrats, and it has
never been shown by the testimony of

The Omaha Herald is certainly send
ing a very good report abroad to the
world of what kind of men the early set
tlers were in that city. It must be an
honor to be an early settler there.
How many years of patient writing
and earnest talk will it take to undo the
evil reports the Herald is now spreading
on the records of this State ?
Already a man must spend half his
time cast iu trying to convince the peo
ple that we are not desperadoes and
thieves Hundreds of people and thous
ands upon thousands of dollars have
been turned away from our shores by
this newspaper's vile charge?. To-day
property is at a stand still, and business
stagnant in Omaha, because Eastern
men will not allow their money to be
sent to a town that has been and is daily
represented by one of its own papers as
a nest of thievea.
At every point East, one is met with
these charges, copied from the Omaha
Herald. Much that the Emigration So
cieties and the B. & M. R ii'n ad with
their immense advertising, have accom
plished, the patient toil of years, by her
oving citiz.ms, is being undone in a few
days, by this terrible corruption curer
and his slang.

Meteors.
Aerolites, meteors and falling stars all
seem to nave a ommon origin, in y
are produced by small bodies planets in
iniuature which are revolving, like our
earth, about the sun lheir orbits in
tersect that ot the eartn, ahd it, at any
time, they reach the point of crossing
exactly with the earth, there is a colli
sion. Their mass is so small that the
earth is not j irred any more than is u
railway train by a pebble thrown against
it. These small bodies may come near
tlie earth and be drawn to its surface by
the power of attraction ; or, they may
simply sweep through the higher regions
of the atmosphere, and there escape its
grasp; or. finally, they may. under cer
tain conditions, be compelled to evolve
many times around the earth as satclitcs.
Indeed, a French astronoroer estimates
that there is one now circling aboui the
earth at a distance of 5.000 miles. This
companion of our moon has a period of
tLree hours and twenty minutes.

Shale or ro Shade in Tacturor.
Farmers have often, through the agri
cultural press, and otherwi-e, been ad
vised to plant trees in prairie pastures to
make shade for stock. Now if stuck will
put ou more flesh in a pasture with
shade than where there is none, then
shade is desiruble, otherwise, not so.
Having for many years pastured where
there was coo 1 shade, and for the past
two seasons, where there was nori", and
observed closely the habits of cattle and
horses, with reirard to feeding I hare'
become satisfied that stock of any kind
(except perhaps hog) will thrive and
do best where there is 110 shade at allr
from the fact that without shade, stock
will fe3d several hours in the day that
otherwise would be fpent in the shade
fighting flies.
Let any one io doubt on this subject
put horses and colts iu pasture and &H0
them to run in and out the stable
they choose. It will be found that th7
will quit their shelter scarcity at
between .-even in the morning and no
in the evening, and will grow poor on
r..inl n9 hire t this season of the year.
On the other hand, if allowed no shade'
or shelter at all. they will thrive nearly
as well iu July and Ao? ut a in May or
October. The same will be fouud to ap
ply to horned cattle ud sheep, thought
perhaps the difference will not be to
great.
It may be considered cruel to deprive1
animals of so cheap n article as shade,
but I think that tey .hve s " good
time " in pasture, so pared tooarworlc
teame., or the farmer himself, who
works ten or twelve hours in the scorch
ing sun, and knows but little, pract
ically, about the comfort of shade.
