That's tho question that noV worries the Oniaha Herald. The Omaha Herald has Cunningftnm on the brain ajrain. This time he thinks he might tin for a Senator. Some counties, like some mm, have honors thrust on them. The Omaha Herald wants to force a candidate on Cass, whether or no. The Bee I: as got a whole column of Senatorial guessing from its exchang es, ami yet Rosy isn't happy, nor can he tell us who it's going to be. lf he State Grange is now; in Session at Lincoln. D. W. Adams, Worthy Master, National (i range, was present and made a speech. We thought poor old Cass was to be left out this fight, but it seems by the news that we hear from abroad, that we are hound to have a candidate for the 17. S. Senate, nolens miens. The Ticbenor . House, Lincoln, wlil s reopened this winter under the man agement of Ballentine J3ro's. & Bragg. We don't want to brag, but we just bet they'll keep a good house, f Indian summer has gone and old winter has come at.last. Well old fel low von can't pinch us very long from now oii, unless you linger in the lap of spring, a month or so. Dean Garrett, of Omaha, will be consecrated Bishop of Texas, at Trini ty Cathedral next Sunday at 11 o'clock. Pour Bishops will be present, and a number of the clergy and Laity in the Diocese. We call attention to the Bill intro duced by Senator Hitchcock, for the relief, of 'persons suffering from the ravages of Grasshoppers. Mr. Hitch cock is ever alive to the wants or needs of hi3 constituents. mrntm a We had an idea that the people of tho State of Nebraska, through their representatives in the Legislature 'made U. S. Senators; but it seems that democratic newspapers now-a-days do the business. STABBED! The' Sheriff of Xemaha Co., David Campbell, was stabbed while attempt to convey a drunken man to jail, by another party, and lies in a critical situation, but it is hoped lie will recov er. We should certainly think, to read the Omaha Republican, that the Oma ha Herald would have enough to do this winter, in regulating its 11.11. hash houses, without using its "influence," division or silence about the Senatorial dish of hash in this State. The Spy thinks that two of the much talked of candidates for U. S. Senator moved from the north Platte to the South l'latte country on "puppus." Maybe? but then suppose they make good representatives of the State, or one of them. gets elected, in the lan guago of a democrat statesman, "What :ire you going to do about it ?" i:ntekpkise! He Swallows the COiicaj Time anil Abases Tip-Top. Xot being able to get tho President's Message ready in time for our regular issue last week.we sent all our subscrib er an Extra, with the Message proper ly printed, and lot3 of other news be sides, thus giving them a paper and a iialf.gj Please, remember this when we're a little short, some time. COUNTY CHAMiES. Z The Ashland Tims is on hand for a division of several counties this wiu ter. It wants a slice from Cass, Lan caster, Saunders, and Sarpy to be made into a new County of which Ashland hall be the County seat, &c. What do our Weeping Water friends say to this. The Times man had better "look a Icedle oud," Cass has something to say on this head. AVe thoughtthey were goingTto" let the "little concern down at Platts moutli' out of this Senatorial fight al together, this heat ; but it seems not. AVe have just heard of two candidates more in Cass County, and who do you think they are!! Dr John Black and Gen. Bob. Livingston. Don't hit our friends too hard, folks.or we shall have to oen another "fire in the rear." FIKEIN" "BOSTON. A tire broke-out in Boston on Mon day night, and- continued to burn throughout TuesdayufcAva thought to be under control late In the day. The tire is confined to the wooden district, comprising portions of Plympton, War Lam, Albany, and Water Sts. An iilarm was aljo given i;r C'aarlestown. and a part of the Engines w ere sent there. The fires are supiosed to be in cendiary. The loss will foot up over half a million. Five hundred men will be thrown out of employment. .The Nelraskian, published at North Platte, has passed into the hands of D Fulton Garitf.'a young lawyer of our State, who promb.es to make himself a name one of tliese days. AVe wish him Pieces in his undertaking and plenty -of fiK-jgy to go ahead and do that difficult thing, make a success, both financially, and otherwise of a news paper, lie opens with some sharp ed itorials about "how to lx?at Thayer," xvhich at least have the merit of tell ing exactly what he thinks, and intends to do. No stubbing a man lehind his back, or striking in the dark for him. - Will voutake some fatra wherries ?" asked a Jady. of her guest. es i mad im ves-Ieat strawberries with en ffusSnr -Do tell!" Well, we haven't anything but cream and sugar for 'em tkfe evening said the matter-W-faet hosted.- Owinc in t'm ;i1'ii-rn nf firp riffrr1av. J our boys were late in getting out the paper, and we fortunately got an early Watchman in which we found these precious morceaus: AVe see by aii article from the Chica go Times, that Thayer's connection with Credit Mobilierism was very inti mate. He got at least 3,000 of that more'. How much more, he knows himself. The radical press, and espec ially our friend Tii-Top pitched into Maj. Davis, who never got a dime; and now advocates for the IT. s. Senate J. M. Thayer, who was bribed, and who bribed in return. It makes a big dif ference with the radicals whose ox i3 gored. Old boy got you this time. Tip Top stop3 the press just to answer this a little. In the first place it is well be lieved that the article in the Times was inspired by a personal enemy of Gen. Thayer, and should therefore be taken with allowance, and if our friend of the Watchman will read the report of the C. M. Committee as carefully as he did the Times; he will find that Major Davis got 50,000 dimes by the sworn statement of one of the same gentle men whom you saygave Gen. Thayer 65,000. About that ox business; ain't you ashamed to compare a prospective U. S. Senator to an ox, but you'll see whose pig Tip-Top has by the ear in aloat a minute. The Herald s'-t forth the kind of man it proposes to support for Senator the other day, and it was not a bribist. We propose that- every tub shall stand on its own bottom, and if Gen. Thayer should be proven t have taken this ."S3.000, then he is not the man for Nebraska's Senator. AVe want a little better proof, however, than the Timts or Wateliman. Here's the next barrel the Watch man let off: POOR TIIATEIL The 5,000 dollars credit mobiler charges against Gen. Thayer are not partisan or political attacks upon dem ocratic or liberal authority; they are simply the facts as proven by the in vestigation made under the auspices of a republican congress by a committee whose chairman and a majority of wh'ose members were republicans. In the face of these facts from the records of congress, with all the rail road and money monopolies of this state sup porting Thayer, a large number of the republican? members of the legislature and a majority of the republican pa pers of the state are openly advocating the election of this man to the United States Senate. AVhy is this ? How does it come that the Plattsmouth Her ald, which attacked Maj. Davis in the recent election because lie received a railroad contract, is now silent, and if not supporting Thayer openly, doing the same thing covertly by concealing the truth. AVe have no desire to bring Major Davis before the public again, except to state that the fact of Davis being a large contractor on the road was well known, his case was published in all the reports. can be found in the "Globe," and by the suits instituted against "Davis and associates," in the courts of the State, every reading man knew that Davis had been connected with C. M. and U. 1. It. II. matters. On the contrary this testimony about Gen. Thayer is only given in the re ports containing the evidences of the witnesses examined, &c. It was not embodied in the C. M. report handed the House. It is not in the Congres sional Globe, so that even a radical edi tor may be pardoned for not knowing there waa any such charge against Gen. T. Lastly, we were not aware that we were supporting Thayer, either covert ly, or openly; we believe in exact jus tice for Gen. Thayer, Major Davis, or any lio.ly else. Send us the proof that Thayer got ."?,000 or any other sum; show us that wonderful report, and if we are satisfied that it is a fact, then we're hunting for a IT. S. Senatorsome where outside of Lincoln sure. Don't keep any "concealed" "truth" about you any longer, dear Watchman, it might burst you up in business. You're not used to it, you know. STATE ITEMS.

The late Bishop of Winchester, was once conversing with a young German lady, a govereness, who expressed her warm admiration of the English Church Litany. The liishop of course agreed with her and admired the good taste of the fair devotee. "Yes," she she said "I am so fond of your Litany, for in it you pray for us poor govern esses." "Indeed," said the Bishop very much puzzled, and after thinking a lit was obliged to ask where the passage was. "Oh," she replied naively, "that part, you know, where you pray for all women laloring with, child." The clear creature was quite innocent, and how could the Bishop explain? LCCTURE INSTITUTE. "Little Mac," of the Plattsmouth ''Natch man, and MacMurphy of the Hi rai l of that place, have decided to build a railroad from Plattsmouth to Unadilla in this county.

( Dear Editor: I promised last week a report of the full amount of suffering in this Couniy. Gen. Remick, an agent of the Omaha Relief and Aid Committee has been here, and squared up everything, re-appointing the old committees and set ting the wkole tiling in working order. I amongst others have assisted a little to give the General the necessary in formation, and have not been able to do what I promised last week, to give a full report. However I wrote this bv order of tho Central Committee: Furnas County, of Plattsmouth, . ( Nov. 30th. 1874- f To the Iuliabitants Cass county, Neb. Allow us to return our sincerest thanks for your liberal donations to our suffering people. AA'ords cannot express the amount of relief given to many sufferers by your timely aid. We would have long since returned you our thanks, but a new committee having then taken our places we thought they would do it. But now, having been re-instated by General Re mick, we hasttn to do our duty. AVe remain yours gratefully, J. Miller, ) T. Williams, Central Com. AV. McCarthy. ) N. B. This letter of the Central Committee I hope will be satisfactory to the generous people of Plattsmouth, and correct the mistake circulated by Mr, W. Colvin of Arapahoe, lately in your city, who stated that your dona tions had all been distributed in the Beaver. About 1,000 people received 7 lbs of flour each, and the rest of the things in Proportion. AdOLPHE d'ALLEMAND. A MIXED REl'ORT. We told our local to "write up" Rich ard's fc Company's pork house, and al so the election returns, and this is the way he did it: Richards & Company's pork house is in full operation; the majority is about eight hundred hogs a day, with a good deal of scratching on the sides and backs. It was supposed it would reach one thousand, but owingtolate returns and several counties to hear from, not more than five or six counties are re ceived a day. principally by the T. A and AV. and I. B. and AV. railroads. They have every facility for unload ing, and are weighed at the polls in droves of fifteen or twenty. They are driven to the pen and allowed to re main over night, when, about three o'clock the returns come in. They are then driven up the shute. and behind the gate sits Wildhack. as judge, to see if each one is registered. The second gate is then closed and two men pnxl them with long Demo cratic and Republican tickets to keep them from bolting the convention and running Independent. An iron band is put around one of their hind legs, a ballot folded and put in their hands and then hoisted to the second story, where they are stuck and roll down in to a little tin box whence they are ta ken out and counted. After remain ing in the boiling water fur a few min utes, they are then hoisted out by a steam fork and all the bogus votes thrown out. Then all the hair is scratched olT, and they are passed over to men who remove the entrails, then washed and hung in the drying room. The next evening a jollification meet ing is held and speeches are made. After the heads are cut off. they are divided up into shoulders, sides, hams, lard, etc. They are removed to the first floor, where all conventions are packed and salted, giving our ticket a clear maioritv, and giving indications ! of a return to peace and prosperity to our land fifteen days out of salt .
