Head the Herald, this week; plum full of news from all over the county, and the "rest of the world." The Masonic BalL on fYiday a week, was very well attended r.nd very en joyable indeed. We meant to have noticed It last veek, but It Was over looked. "Better late than never" That's what we thought when they tz'A into line after one of Jiub Bal combe's quarter-horse-rilles. 1S74. The Herald starts out on the new year, and the ninth of its existence, with a very large paper crammed full of original and local matter. We had intended to write a Xew Year ed itorial on what a count' newspaper should be, but niirst put it off for another i.sue. PL ATTSMOUf II Is dead! dead! I dead! ! ! with the ex ception of wheat buyers and saloons, af.d they are reaping a rich harvest. The li. & M. 1L It. has aided very ma terially in killing the town. We un derstand they have closed their Ma chine shops, but we do not vouch for the trutli of the statement. Still the people live in hope, and our wish is that they may not die ia despair. Au rora Republican. That's a dog-goned, confounded and impudent 1 i ver-colored whopper, Mr. Aurora Republican. Plattsmouth is not dead, and is the liveliest town we visit on the Missouri river. More grain, more hogs, more goods are bought and sold here, and more money changes hands daily in Plattsmouth, than in' any other town in the State of the same size; and our people are feeling the hard times less, and squealing about the panic softlier than in any town we have visited lately. The R. & M. Shops have not closed, and they are crossing freight and passengers here, and have built a track down to Rocky point, and are going to bridge the river soon; and we have the most farms and the best people, and the richest country, the handsomest women and the honestest men back of us you ever saw. Get out! you AU(u)roarer. THE VVEATHOV In Nebraska, up to the third clay of January has been remarkable. Christ mas was a beautiful day, overhead, and so warm that the water ran freely in the low places, and in little sluices. Xew Year's day was as balmy as May. It seemed almost impossible to regard it as the first of January. Men sat in doorways in their shirt sleevf s, child ren played in door yards bareheaded, gentlemen went calling without over coats, and doors and windows stood open in many houses. In striking con trast to our holiday-weather, read this from Xew York, on Christmas day. It is taken from the Graphic: After a gloomy Christinas, with lead colored skies and muddy streets, a neavy snow-storm commenced at an early hour this morning, and has con tinued with disgusting persistence ever since. The streets of the city are reduced to sheets of mad and slush, and the snow falling into them rapidly turns from its color to a very dirt' brown. The Ikorse-cars have experienced some difficulty' in making their usual trips, and if the storm continues all QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. We have received a commanicaiiori in reply to some questions propounded in the Wxitchman some weck3 ago. It is a very, plain spoken document, and makes by implication some very grave charges against the present Mayor and Council. We should like to publish it in full but for ' two reasons. It is very per sonal, nd after answering the ques tions in the Watchman it propounds a new series of questions for somebody to answer. It has been urged to the editor of this paper that this method of asking questions is a very bad ono as well as a cowardly way of destroying reputation or business confidence by insinuation, there being no chance for the aggrieved person to set himself or themselves right, no direct charge be ing made, and yet the "questions" re maining unanswered leave, as they are intended to leave, a disagreeable .and often false impression on the public i Com iny? or what has it to do with ticular purpose; but any imputations on his honesty or his character were never entertained, except by the lowest kind of political animosity, and 'most stupid ignorance. In plain proof of which' he was elected to the responsi ble and onerous office of County Com missioner, less than one year after the city election, by an overwhelming ma jority. There's his vindication, and the man who insinuated these "que ries" has made a grave mistake in an other way. The questions in the Herald may have been bad way of putting it, but they were pertinent to the time, they were about a new transaction', they, did not rake up old issues, but thus sap-head want3 to pick a muss go back on the ground already fought over and chaw the thing over and. over as all intrinsically weak men do. What business is it to us. now, that some one gave away a River Front, or got a farm, or had a Dock and Levy night, as it gives ever- indication of doing, the cars, both on the steanj and horse lines, will be badly blockaded to morrow morning. The telegraph wires are working very badly on long circuits, and two of the trunk wires between this city and Washington have been broken down. A OA LLEU V OF IDIOTS. John Cummins, Esq., new County ' Treasurer, from this time forth ; and W. Ij. Ilobbs retires to the "buzzum" of his family. More next week. The County Seat of Saunders county was removed from Ashland to Wahoo between two daylights, about the 3d of "January. The Methodist's have organized a Church in the very heart of the city of Mexico; and the papers say it is a great victory for Christianity. The Constitution of the State Grange is published this week in full, and onght to satisfy our country friends that we give them their due share of notice." . ;- ...Woodi' & Fleming, hardware men, Weeping Water, are daily receiving new goods, now. Call and see their stock. Good men, good place, to trade ; try it. DEFENCE Oi; 0 VrrU UNAS. - Governor Furnas lias published his defense in the Lincoln Journul, and it is also being circulated iii pamphlet form, and we have been particularly requested to notice it, and give our opinion upon the same (not by the Governor, but by others.) The Her ald hereby does notice the fact of its publication," anil informs all readers that they iifHy obtain the same if de sired. Friend tho'd not r.s: more, Foe cannot ask less. If our opinion of the merits of th?3 case, or the wisdom of this defense, at this time, be still insisted upon, and we choose to comply and give that opinion, it must be: that we made up our mind as to the guilt or innocence of Iiolt W. Furnas, on the main charge, before the election in the Fall of '73. It is well known, by car refusal, in face of strong pressure, to pull his name down from the columns of the Herald, and we have never changed cur mind on that point. Further, as regards the wisdom of this defense, at lhi3 time, we most uiihesitatinglv should have preferred to see the matter drop, and nll parti'S were it belirve it tetter for The Xew York Grapliic, a daily il lustrated paper, inaugurates v. new feature, whimsical enough. It argues that all the portraits of great and cele brated men . have been exhausted, and now proposes to give a series of por traits of all the most prominent idiots in the land. It will accept but one "the champion Idiot of the place" from each town or county, and a short biographical history will be printed with each portrait. Xo faces have yet been given but some written applica tions have been made. One man thinks his portrait ought to go in be cause he moved his mother-in-law to his own home to help his wife and him self keep house; and another because he has served a political party faith fully for ten yearn, hoping for reward and praise, and all the places have been given to his enemies, and all the opposition press have called him an idiot so much that he has come to the conclusion he is one. Xow we want Plattsmouth repre sented in thi.s Gallery, and yet we hardly know who to send. If "Pot." was only here, or hadn't that last ap pointment, we'd bo fixed at once. We thought of sending "Little Mac's," por trait, at one time, but was afraid he might "bust" the machine in taking the impression. Joo Brown did pass through our mind, but Joo is "techy," and it wouldn't do. "Stinch." almost fills the bill, but we are afraid of his bulk on the G rapJiic Presses. Judge Haines might do, but he could arrest the Herald, and "fix" our business and we "dassent." There is a city official we should like to send, but he would give the city printing to the Grapliic next year and then the VSatchmuii would starve. Lastly, we might send ourselves, but having only one eye, we are barred. The Graphic only wants idicts not cripples. Xow, gentlemen, don't let this chance pass; if we have not hit the right one, or if there are greater idiots out in the country, please send them in. Cass county must have one portrait in the Graphic collection, sure. Three hoi-es crossed the Missouri river to-day oh the ice, under Doty's management. lie's a(?i).'cc roan, Doty is. D. II. Wheelar, W. J. Hesser, Azrb Smith, J.

T1- i)i mind, The Herald so nearly coincides with this opinion on the merits of at tacking .a man by asking questions that we have seldom indulged in the pastime ourself, and then only as a sample.in answer to the Omaha Itrald, of what might bo done in that line. To our own people -wo have always made our charges when we had any direct, and shall do so thistimcC instead of giving our correspondent's letter in full. - In the issue of the Herald, Dec. llth, appeared the following article: Plattsmouth, Xeb., December 9, '73. Mu. Editor: Can you tell us what is the price of bonds in the city of Xew York? Is it true bonds of our city were eold for 80 cents? Is the crisis over? Curious. Ed Hkuald: How about the inter est on our School bonds? Is there any money in the Treasury to pay it? If not is there any one who has guar anteed the payment of it? Perhaps 83.000 loans without interest can be made? How is the crisis? How is Cuba? Mickey. Xot from the pen of the Editor, as any one can see, and morever we ex plained to the only parties who could feel aggreived at this harmless f usilade how they came to be inserted, which was simply because the Editor had been absent on wearisome and perplex ing business, to come home and find sickness there and the p.iner ready to go to Press. These articles ha 1 been handed in, with request to publish and we did not really take in either their sense or meaning else we should have told the party to make his charges plain and square. The matter should have dropped here, but some aggreived and foolish person must needs rush up to th3 Watchman office and cause to be inserted in their issue of the 18th Dec. this choice morceau of bad taste and positive falsehood. a batch of queries.. Mr. Edi roir Who was the attorney ia Noah's Ark? Who jrotup the Dock and 'Levy Co? Who gave av;iy our entire river front to the H. & M. Railroad Co? Who got a f :ir:i as a rc vard for valuable services? Who stole JK.ixH) of High School fund? Who were t lie members -f the Ring who got the ,17,oo? Wnodefemied that steal? Was that steal a lawful one? Who are the sticklers of law now? lr;iv tell vcur readers who mv the wolves in sheeps clothing? Who i it is lyinjj 'nit Ihot'itv uoverniueut and what new clirtv job ij lie hatehiilg? "?" Haven't time to answer all these questions, this week. Ed. Having given our view3 about the propriety of asking questions, and ta ken upon our own shoulders the blame of the first lot, so far as permitting them to be published, we desire to now say a few words on the merits of these questions, and we ask our readers, our Christian thinking readers, if you like, to read and ponder on them. Admitting, for a moment, that the questions in the Herald were "idle, silly, imupdent, unwarranted," we ask cool, wise ' men if they demanded or called for any such retort as is made in the Watcliman? Is there any word about "steal" there. Is there any charge implied in these questions more than mis-management, or an error of judgment, and will any one pretend to tell us that an unwise way of criticis ing public men, implying that they have committed grave errors of judge ment or shown lack of business talent, warrants au editor or a writer in mak ing a charge of theft, of robbery, of stealing, even by implication. Let it be understood here that we are not after the Watch man at this time, nor yet the person who wrote the "queries" which the editor hasn't time to answer we do not care one cent about this individual questioner and we presume the party aimed at does not care about these questions, but the reading and thinking people of this country, should care about the effect of such questions, and see about them too, for from this utterly unwarranta ble American habit of charging men holding public positions with crime arises nearly all our present corrup tion and foreshadows great danger to the very existence of Republican insti tutions. Whenever you take away all incentive to honesty, you willfully place a great temptation before man kind to be dishonest, and when you hare a little more fully established the custom that all public servants shall be called thieves, liars, ring rascals and other names, you have taken one great step towards having your offices filled by dishonest, corrupt men. A few more steps in this direction may send this government "kiting." A 7 is ap propriation of money or funds is not stealing unless the funds or money is shown to have gone into the person's pocket making the ms-appropriatiou of those funds. Xo person pretends that M. L. White got any portion of that 817,000, or put it in his pocket. He may have made an error in judg ment in diverting those funds from their proper use, but he did not steal them, and we do not wonder at his friends coming up here and charging back on the Mayer and present Coun cil with the use of tile same terms. For Mr. White's errpr, if error there were, he was punished, at the time, in the only way known tD American po litical law; ho was not re-elected by the people of this city, and probably 1 Ipqr-od lcifti fvi'ilv in TeT1 f. rr.r- ) the present sale of school bonds, or the fix the present City Treasury is in? Nothing! and we have never yet known of any other result from raking up dead memories of the past to rant around on, but to call forth counter charges, either of the past or the pres ent, and that is just what this Watch man correspondent has done. . Our man, in substance, charges these facts. A high per cent, has been paid for collecting city taxes, without shadow of law for the same. Under a reform Mayor and Council the taxes next year mu3t be enormous, as all the city expenses have been great ly increased. That 33 cent3 per yard was paid for grading avenue when the work could have been done for 20 cents. Thirty-five per cent, more was Daid for school furniture than should have been, at cash prices. Thirty-five more for Babcock engine, on same terms. Seren hundred dollars more for Fur naco in High School, than it could have been bought for cash. ; i Teachers salaries were raised from $30 to 850, without just cause and reason. It costs SOOO per month to run our schools, and the people can't and won't stand it long. Tiie city has run in debt SCO.OOO jn eight months aside from schools and High School building, and our corres pondent wants to know how long. we can keep this up with the Treasury bankrupt, the Teachers unpaid, and the Treasurer making frantic appeals, to the citizens to help him? We turn him over to the people for an answer, and have simply trans formed his questions into statements of what he deems fut. Xow gentle men, of the old school, if yoa object to "questions," answer his facts. ITE2IS AT HOME AN DAB EGA I). Dexter has been purchased by a Xew York livery man, and returns to the turf next season. So say the Xew York sporting papers. The Omaha 1. O clerks made Jim my Allan a handsome Xew Year's present of a suit of clothes. Won't he be proud, now ? J. T. Painter organized the first Grange in Xebraska, on the Republi can river, in Harlan county ; J.T. stands for Just Tried, and he says we called him "Jimpson Seeds." We didn't "Stinch" did, may be. Talking of manufactories a new Mill came to town about three weeks since, and Brother Porter naver notices it among our improvements. A brakeman, by the name of Palmer, on the B. & M. across the river, slipped between the cars while attempting to couple them, and had both his legs cut off. He died Saturday last about noon. Down in Plattsmouth a well-borer reached within eight feet of a coal vein, and they are agitating the sub ject of raising a subscription for bor ing the remaining eight feet. As it will cost the heavy sum of from ten to twenty dollars, it is doubtful if the shaft will ever be sunk. Lincoln Jour ned. The man that owns that Journal lived in Plattsmouth once, and he comes back here to visit sometimes. e'll ten dollar him, next time. There's an old empty vault gaping for you up at the brewery, and when your'e dead, Coon Heisel andItipplo will be summoned on the "coroner's" Jury, and they'll sit- on your body and there won't be enough left for a decent in quest or burial. You see! Baby Chop. The West Point Jfeirs bubbles over with youthful life, and is literally covered with marriage blossoms, in this style: "Geo. Gibson is another. it's a boy. F. W. Rogers is as happy as a da ni it's a girl. John Bruni-r don't care for schnaps it's two girls," etc., etc., etci ad infantuPL. We would just like to know whether there is a baby conven tion at West Point, or whether all the children are born there in December, or whether, it serves everybody who goes there the same way. If the latter result follows, we shall recommend some of our delinquent married people to move up and see what's Cummin. Neb. CiiyNcivi. Xo use, we tried it once; didn't do a tit of good. Senator Wm. Gwyer, of Omaha, has a stone quarry on the Platte, where as good stone is found as any shipped here from afar, and he has put in a bid for the Lincoln Postolfice, and we wish he may get it,. too. There is no use in shipping stone from Illinois, and Mass., .and Ohio, if wo have as good in Xe braska. Test the stone fairly, Mr In spector, and then if equally good, ac cept the home brand every time. The Old Settlers have an association in Otoe county, and meet once a year. This year they meet January 8th, at Xebraska City, and each one is to write out their experience during the lirst few years of life in Xebraska.

Sammy Davis has tnrhed up in Cali fornia, editing .1 Grange Paper(?) and has sent Judge Mason a cane made from the oak in the Kearsage. Sam's a tough enough stick himself. The Glen wood Opinion and Lawyer Stinchcomb have had a "bout" over the Sage trial. "Stinch" rather makes the Opinion change opinion of Judge Lake at any rate. PERSONAL. Col. Curley English, newspaper man, is doing Xebraska for his paper, and met the Herald man on tho cars not long since, and wanted his views on the subject. Gen. Thayer travels up and down on the train to Omaha now and then, and chats with tho Herald editor about men and things. Wisely and well the General talks on many points. Capt. Hoover, Louisville, war-horse &c, celebrated his silver wedding last week. Happy Hoover. E. A. Kirkpatrick gave us a very pleasant Holiday call last week. "Bub." Bal combe, the irrepressible visited Plattsmouth week before last, and attended the Masonic Festival or. the 2Cth. . ' "Bub" called a set the dancers stand agape. "Salute I" says "Bub," they did it with a slap. "Heads up! eyes right! now charge and wheel !" They rush, they bump, they stamp, they squeal. J. W. Barr, and by proxy, his brother J. B. Barr, both pail the Herald a visit last Meek. Barr(ing) the fact that J. B. wasn't present, it was a very pleasant call, and not at all as Bar(r) barous as one might suppose. John Canghc, an old resident of Cass county called on Tuesday. Mr. C. in forms us that lie shall be absent from Xebraska this winter. All the following gentleman paid their respects to the Herald last week and wished us a happy and prosperous Xew Year, and gave us somewhat to aid in making it easier to live through if not any happier: George Beck, Mr. Englekemicrs, Mr. Bestor, Mr. Wet ten camp, (almost called). Lee Estell, the great emigration agent, and B. B. land man of Webster county, tried to go east Christmas, and failed to make connections at Platts mouth, on account of the ice in the Viver, and the drug stores up town. He is going to Chillicothe, the Quinine town of Ohio, to get married, it is said. Expecting a lively ague shake there he laid in a supply of anti-bilious pills and things. Judge Green and. W A. Coleman, of Lincolu, were along and got lf-ft too, all going to get married. Wo&'t the bride's be out of humor, eh? Jerry Sexton, and another beer keg, got into trouble at Billy Xeville's, on Xew Years eve. The beer keg was left out doors with no head in, and Jerry was sent to board at Sheriff Cut ler's with a big head on. Miss Morse, First Grammar, re turned from Omaha, on Saturday last, where she has been Xew Ycar'sing-it, 'mid Dew(ey) paths and Stone(y) ways. 1S74! Happy Xew Year to every body, once more. Little cold, ain't it? Major Kleustch, of Lincoln, and Frank Guthman, of Plattsmouth, dropped into the Herald sanctum last week. Glad to hear of you, gentlemen, if we were not "tew homo" ourselves. Xoyes, your "keerds" arc done; come and get 'em. Judge Ellison has been enlarging his orifice, i. e., turning his old hole and Doctor Black's into one good sized, handsome Court-room, with a Judicial bench by the west windows, and with new paper and fixings, it makes a very recpectable Probate Judge's head-quar- i ters, now. The Rev. G. B. Crippen. of Mt. Pleas ant, paid the Herald a visit during the Editor's absence. Very sorry; come again. Xat. Brown had a row in Crete. Theatened to shoot a man, so he did. John F. Buck, of Mt. Pleasant called on tho Herald Wednesday, and left us wiser and better off. J. S. Buck, of Greenwood, son of J. F., and a chip from the old block, left us a new "sub." renewed several old ones, and took an Inter-Ocean or two too boot. Sound as a Buck, both of 'em. Bamberge, a curious Omaha ex-news-paper-man. and . now a patent baking powder proprietor, called on us Wed nesday. Odd Dick, that "Bam." If his powders are good, buy 'em home manufacture, you know.
