TIIU HERALD 4.I SlIIStUIUKltS. 2- Many of our readers will receive this week a postal card with the amount due the Herald, thereon. This plan is absolutely necessary; we have wait ed a long while on some of our sub scribers, and we must have cash to run the office. No one should feel hurt at this, and to show you how great our need i3. a few weeks ago we sent out bills to am't to S156.C0, and collected on that less than 610.00. In the past three days we have snt out $318.45 for collection, and we do most sincerely hope our patrons will respond favorably. It is so little to each one of you, and the aggregate is so great to us. We desire to call your attention to other reasons why the Herald is justified in endeavoring to get these accounts settled up now. The first of January, 1875, will soon be here. On and after that date, we must pay postage ix advance, on all papers leaving this office, for subscribers re ceiving their mail outside of the coun tv. We cannot subject ourselves to the double drain of furnishing papers (paid for in advance,) and postage too. Again, many of these accounts are due from Hathaway's time. They run and run, and then by-and-by they are for gotten and denied. It is over, two years now, since the present proprie tor took the paper, and if there is any wrong, rebait or claim of any kind on account of these bills, the Herald wants to know it. At the same time we do not desire to crowd or force any man to payment, unnecessarily. riease write and tell us the facts i f you have any excuse, or send your due bills; give us some satisfaction about the matter. Those outside the county must forward at least part payment, or the papers will be cut off, after Janu ary first, and the accounts sent to their respective localities for collection. (S3e inducements to new subscrib ers, Ac.) "Dog on it" we've got Florida any way. We give a very lull account of the elections cm the outside of this paper. Twenty is all we give them in the House, and full returns may cut that down. Another Dam disaster in Massachu setts, is the way they put in now. (See election returns.) The St. Iuis Globe says the Repub lican defeat in Mass. is not a Waterloo but a Whiskeyloo. The Grand Island Independent (Mob ly) his started an original illustrat ed paper over the election news. We should judge that the Fremont Tribune meant to hold a thanksgiving of its own on the 28th. "Bobster" ha3 gone to the Post and if ail folks and will help make that newspaper lively hereafter. Our storm of Saturday turned into hail at Lincoln and big chunks of ice dropped promiscuously about, so says the Journal. ..' Our Uncle in Buffalo sends us the Adcertiser full of election news &c from N. Y. State. Dear Uncle, we know it. The new Senate will (from the best accounts) stand 44 Rep., to 30 Dem. The House is estimated 180 opposition, to 95 straight Rep. Striped hose i not in style for fire ugim. ... - r The Herald is very muct obliged to friends at Salt Lake for papers, which keep tis posted on the important and singular issues now before the peo pie of Utah. . Mc Waters, the desperado who . is charged with shooting Crooks, at Wy oming, (Otoe Co.,) has been caught and returned to Neb. City. Sheriff Farber brought him throucrh from California. Poor Governor Talbott, (Mass) he couldn't or wouldn't enforce the whis key law, and the bright fellows (tem perance) have slaughtered him for a free whiskey man. Almost the united press of the State disapprove the taking of notes or secur ity for the aid furnished Giasshopper ists by the State Aid Society or any body else. So say we all of us. And now comes our Republican Bro, Union Sweet, and tells the Kearney Times man all about those expendit ures. We have felt so sympathetic on this score that we forbear any more comment. The Saline county Post man says the Sentinel man (of Orleans) is a squash and through the clemency of the grass hoppers his life has been spared, but the first good frost will nip him and then gool-bye squash.

This allows farmers to club together and ship a car load of corn or feed very cheap. Sixteen school-houses can be count" ed from the top of our new mill. Who says we don't know anything in Ne braska. Juniata Gazette. That's the way all over the State, and yet these eastern fellows talk about "average intelligence." COL. MORSE'S SUCCESSOR. We learn from outside sources (our exchanges) that Mr. Wm. Irving has been appointed Superintendent of the B. & M. in Nebraska, vice Col. Morse, resigned. Mr. Irving is a young man in years and an old man on railroads and if he'll send us a time-table now and then, we'll call him a first rate Su perintendent and forgive him for all things he's ever done or left undone. Mr. Edward Creighton, one of the largest capitalists in the State, died at Omaha on the 5th. Mr. Creighton was President of the First National Bank, a director in the O. & N. W. It. It. Co., one of the Stockholders in the Grand Central, and has been active in most of the business enterprises which have made Omaha the metropolis of the West. He was a catholic in religion, of Irish descent, and left "a fortune va riously estimated at from one million to three million dollars. Wm. Stadelmann, Esq., and Dr. Geo. H. Black, who have just returned from Bloomington, Franklin, and that sec tion of the Republican valley bring home rather cheering reports. Frank lin is represented as being on its feet and fair prospects of making a nice town one of these days, while in re gard to Bloomiiigton they are enthusi astic This town is now the county seat and also the place where the U. S. Land Office is permanently located. It has a number of stores,' good hotels, a newspaper, mill, and lots of good land around it. They report the inhabitants as not dismayed by grasshopper mania, but of cheerful heart and good courage and although their county has been injured severely and the business of the town somewhat crippled, temporarily, there are no starving or absolutely destitute persons, they hope to hold out manful ly until another crop and livelier times sets them oa their feet once more. Hurrah for Franklin and Bloomington and that's the way to talk it. THE DEMOCRATIC BONFIRE. Last Saturday evening, just as the Herald sat itself down to study the ten commandments, and get out some pious and solemn advice to all bad men, and corrupt politicians, our old est nephew rushed into the house shouting "Fire! Fire!" -Main Street's all ablaze!" Out we rushed bare-headed, slipper-footed, anxious-eyed, yet eager for an item. Sure enough down the street a broad glare lit up the stores and buildings on lower Main Street, and huge volumes of black smoke moved upwards to the clear blue sky. Getting our hat and boots, we were about to put out on the dead run for the scene of this appar ently wholesale conflagration, when a nice looking Liberal young man came along, and says he : "You need'nt fret Mr. Editor, it's only a Democratic Bon fire, Uncle Jake Vallery has got up down by Frank Guthman's, take it cool." And so we did, thanking that young man from the bottom of our hearts, and forgiving him all his polit ical sins on the spot. Well, about the bon-fire. It did'nt look so big when you got down there, but Uncle Jake made a speech and it was a tanner. Said he, he says; "I thank God for this night, and all these barrels and boxes, but more than all I thank God that Ben. Butler is beat in Massachusetts, and can't steal no more spoons, nowhere." "Amen," shouted the little boys, and then Frank busted a beer keg, and they all went home happy. If there is anything in the world that could reconcile us to the late elec tion results, it is to see the ancient and lifelong democrats so happy. Joy beams from their eyes, humor oozes from their lips, and hilarity wiggles in their walk. Hurrah for an old line Demo crat when he is happy. rOLITICAL SUMMARY. The following is a summary df the results of the election, as compiled from the latest returns and advices from till the States and Territories: New York, Nov. 5. Alabamy elects Houston, democrat, governor by 8.00 to 10,000 ; the con gressional delegation will probably stand 6 democrats and 2 republicans, a democratic gain of three. Arkansas returns are meagre; in the election for four congressmen, probably Clayton, Lynes and Rogers, republican, and Gar ter, democrat, have been successful. Delaware elects Cochran, democrat, governor, and the entire democratic ticket. Florida elected two republi can congressmen by reduced majorities. Georgia elected the entire democratic congressional delegation. Illinois goes republican by a small majority, the op position gaining congressmen. Kan sas elected Osborn, republicon, gover nor, and the congressional delegation stands 1 democrat and 2 republicans. Kentucky, entire democratic congres sional delegation. The election iu Louisiana is ehtimed by the consena' ives by 12,009 majori ty; they have elected four congress men, secured the legislature, and con sequently U. S. Senator; it is probable the new legislature will attempt to im peach Kellogg. Maryland elected the entire democratic congressional dele gation. Massachusetts elected Gaston, democrat, governor, but the balance of the ticket has gone republican. The legislature is also republican. Michi gan is doubtful ; returns coming in di minish Bagley's supposed majority, and the democrats claim Chamlierlain elec ted governor by 2,000. The State sen ate is democratic by three majority; the house of representatives by eight majority. The democrats claim a ma jority on joint ballot. Minnesota is extremely doubtful and the vote is close, but loth parties claim the State. Missouri has elected Dem ocratic State ofiicers and the republi cans claim the legislature. New Jer sey has gone democratic, also New York. In the latter Tilden's majority will probably be forty thousand. The legislature is democratic, insuring the election of a United States Senator to succeed Fenton. Nevada elected Brad ley democrat, governor. Sharon will be the next United States Senator. Pennsylvania elected a republican State ticket by a largely rednced ma jority. The legislature is very clse but the republicans may have a major ity on joint ballot for United States Senator. Tennessee is democratic, and elects a democratic United States Sen ator. South Carolina elects Chamberlin. republican, governor. Texas elected six democratic congressmen. Virginia six democratic and three republican congressmen, Wisconsin, six republi cans and three democratic congress men, the legislature to elect a United States Senator, which will no doubt be republican ; Arizona Territory, no re turns; Washington territory elects Ja cobs, republican, to congress. The total number of Democratic con gressmen elected is. probably, 127; Re publicans, 84. The returns indicate that the democrats will have a majori ty of between 50 and fiO in the next House of Representatives. In the elections of Monday and Tues day there were 209 members of Con gress and 1 1 Governors. Legislatures chosen in 17 States, and by 13 of these United States Senators will be elected. The States choosing Governors are: Alabama.'Delaware, Kansas, Massachu setts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The states to choose the United States Senators are: Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Neva da, New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Virginia and Maryland have already elected United States Senators, the former choosing Robert E. Withers (Dem.) to succeed John F. Lewis, (Rep.), and the latter ex-Governor Whyte (Dem.) to succeed Wil liam T. Hamilton (Dem). Of the oth er States, U elect successors to Republi can Senators, and 5 successors to Dem ocrat or Liberal Republicans, includ ing Schurz of Missouri, Brownlow of Tennessee, and Fenton of New York. THE CRISIS IN UTAH. Beautiful Zion Appearances, Actions, and Feeling in Mormondoni A Terrible Convulsion Cer tainly at Hand. Cor. Sac. Record. Salt Lake Citv. Oct. 17. The beauty of Salt Lake the "City of Zion" surpasses description. That such a city should spring up in the midst of this desert land is truly won derful. Magnificent hotels, spacious stores, costly banks, stately mansions, and blocks of fine buildings attest that wealth and prosperity have taken up their abode in the city of the Saints. The streets are broad, well watered, free from dust or dirt, and every por tion of the town has a clean, orderly appearance seldom met with. Streams of clear water flow on either side of most of the streets, and rows of shade trees draw life and nourishment there from. There is an air of life and bus iness about the place that is quite re freshing in these days, when most lo calities complain of dull times. Yet this opulent city and this busy wide awake people are certainly about to experience A TERRIBLE COX VULSIOX. There is no excitement, no gathering in groups or knots for discussion, no arguments or loud talking on the street corners, yet every man fully under stands the situation. Men expecting to engage in a death grapple say little. The struggle that involves life, proper ty, reputation, and all that earth can bestow, is too terrible to be talked about. A broad well-defined line sepa rates the community. Every man stands squarely upon one side or the other. Give the signal, and each man would fall into the ranks without a word. There is no longer room for ar gument. No one is open to conviction, hence no words are wasted. In twenty-four hours I have not heard one sin gle utterance concerning the impend ing troubles, save in answer to some direct question propounded by myself. A stranger ignorant of the existing feeling, would neither see nor hear any thing to excite suspicion of the true state of affairs. But ask any man, pri vately, to explain thi situation, and you will instantly find that the all-absorbing theme of the hour is the expec ted action of the Grand Jury, THE FEELING IS INTENSE, All realize that the hour is come when the truth shall be vindicated, and justice will be meted to the law-breakers, the villain and the murderer. A hundred times Bricham Young has publicly professed to be greater than the United States, and everybody thor oughly understands that the statement is likely to receive a final immediate test. Men that have lived here for years assure me that for the first time in their lives they have a full, firm, un wavering faith that the laws will be executed to the very letter. There is no doubt but that the right men are in the right place, and that the crimes of Mormon ism are to be exposed to the full glare of the sunlight. To illustrate how little sanctity there is in the oaths administered by Federal courts, let us cite a case that arose whi'e the present Grand Jury was be ing impanneled. Under the Poland bill a juror can be asked certain ques tions relative to his belief in polygamy. The questions asked by the prosecuting attorney, and the answers returned by the juror were about as follows: Q. Are you living in polygamy? A. No. Q. Do you acknowledge the binding force of the law of 18G2 prohibiting polygamy 'i A. Yes. O. Have you any conscientious scruples against indicting a man for violating the law of 18G2, where the proof is nositive? A. No. Of course the juror was received, but it soon appeared jthat he was a noted Mormon, and is living with five wives. He was recalled, examined still more closely, and in the same prompt, decis ive manner, repeated the answers first given. The sequel is that the news soon flashed over the wires, east and west, that the jury had indicted one of their own number. It was the first indict ment. The man who had so little rev erence for li s oath now liesfin the Pen itentiary awaiting trial for two charges lascivious cohabitation and mur der 1 If such men uphold the hand of poor blind Justice, is it to be wondered that the balances of the goddess tip toward the Endowment House and Mormon ism ? THE TERRORS OF THEOCRACY are nowhere less appreciated than in America. Let one hundred thousand pwople for a quarter of a century re gard one man as the chosen embassa dor of God, as enjoying the direct com munion and confidence of the Eternal One, and you have bondage more abject and servile than we ever recorded in any but Oriental history. The founder of the Territory, the builder of the city, the ruler of the people, but most of all, "the Prophet of God," Brigham Young, absolutely controls the minds, the ac tions, the property, the consciences and the lives of his people. Body, soul and spirit they consign to his tender keep ing. Gathered from the peasantry of Europe, the lower classes of Mormons learned in their infancy the principles of serfdom under which they are now bound. Realize this one idea that a single man has complete control of one hundred thousand people, and you will be somewhat prepared for the startling revelations, that the Grand Jury and Courts of justice are soon to take place before vou.
