Can "Bobs' tout taakc a U. S. Sena
tor or not? 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

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

to do. No stubbing a man lehind his

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.

any. 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?

Dec. 5th, 1374. (
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 . Fe-ll-tfi
