James Stephenson, ex-Councilman,
tfirst Ward, Omaha, has just had three
men arrested for illegal voting. Two
were bound over to appear at the Dis
trict term of court.
While we all understand that some
thing of disappointment and auger at
not being elected stimulates the
ground of complaint, it is well that
examples should be made of all illegal
voters and that our people should all
learn that voting is not a joke, a frolic,
something to be laughed at, sneezed at,
and played at, but a serious, solemn
duty, a positive duty, and oue that
must be honestly performed or not at
all.
CARL SCllCIiZ LECTURE IN OMAHA.
The Herald had the pleasure of
hearing Mr. Seluirz deliver his great
lecture on Germany and Trance in
Omaha last evening.
It is a lecture showing much thought
and culture. He describes Rismark
very pleasantly, enters into the causes
of the French and German war and
treat3 the matter very soundly and just
ly. In judging of France and French
men he. was not quite so fair, many
thought; personally we were very much
interested in the lecture and agreeably
piea3cd with the man. It was laugha
ble to see how many recognized Mr.
Schurz yesterday morning in the cars
by the resemblance to Xast's carica
tures of the late Senator from Mo.

'LATTSMOUTII, WEEPING WaTEK,
AND TECUMSLII RAILROAD.
Ta Herald Dear Sir -The pro
priety of constructing a railroad over
a line not heretofore contemplated, is
much talked of by many who are deep
ly interested in the prosperity of our
town and County. The project has al
ready been briefly referred to iii" your
paper, also in the Omaha papers; I re
fer to what might be termed the Platts
mouth, Weeping Water, and Tecumseh
Railroad.
This enterprise is designed, as I un
derstand it, in the event that there
should be a failure in the building of
what we term tlie "Trunk Railroad,"
which project is a very doubtful one at
the present time. Now I think it is
evident to the citizens of Plattsmouth,
as well as to the people all over our
county that it is essential to our mutu
al prosperity, that we hare another
railroad through our county in some
direction.
Now we should all like to have the
Trunk and the Weeping Water roads
built; but if we can get neither of
these let us try something else. There
is probably not a more practicable
route for a Railroad through our coun
ty, than from Plattsmouth via. Weep
ing Water Falls, and through Otoe
County via. Syracuse to Tecumseh in
Johnson County; there forming a
junction with the A. & N. Railroad,
which would give us direct communi
cation with St. Louis, and it would
then be only ten miles farther by that
route than by the Trunk line. And
another important it emis, that it would
run through the richest agricultural
district of the county and State; a
glance at the map will give one a cor
rect idea of the bove statement. A
fact of importance ami interest to
Plattsmouth, would be that she would
be the terminus of the road, which
would give her 3ome degree of promi
nence, in h business point of view.
It would greatly benefit Weeping
Water Falls in this: that it would give
her direct communication with both
Chicago and St. Louis, "but," says
many with whom I have talked, "this
will cause Plattsmouth to lose the
County Seat, we can't stand that?"
I acknowledge it would make the prob
abilities of a removal stronger but I
insist that we could stand it, for we
could afford to lose the County Seat, if
we could secure the railroad.
There are bonds to the amount of
6300,000 yoted in this county to the
Trunk and Weeping Water Valley
roads. My proposition would be to
throw up the bonds voted on the
Trunk line, and apply those voted to
the W. W. V. to the building of the P.
W. W. and Tecumseh road; this would
lighten the burden of taxation, and the
county would derive a greater benefit
than in the construction of these other
roads. However the building of this
road will not preclude the building of
the other roads at some future period;
the gap between Neb. City and Platts
mouth will eventually be closed up
and that too, without our aiding them
with bonds; when this is accomplished
we will then have the best Railroad
facilities of any county in the State.
The construction of this new road will
at once place almost every farmer in
county so convenient to a depot, that
he can make two trips a day to it with
eas.
Now Mr. Editor, it appears to me
if this matter is properly viewed by
the citizens, and active steps taken,
that we might do that which would be
of incalculable benefit to our communi
ty. I think if bonds were voted to ap
ply on this road, that we would hava
no trouble in getting a company to
construct it probably the "Chicago
and Rock Island."
The western part of Otoe county and
Johnson county would be interested
enough in this enterprise to vote bonds
in furtherance of it.
I offer these opinions for what they
are worth, believing that much gen
eral benefit to the county would come
from prosecuting the enterprise.
Respectfully,
A Citizen.

own editorial on the same subject wa3

ject is of importance to our people.

pointment of teachers. All the depart
ments have been open, and have been
conducted with a good degree of efti
ciency, and with general satisfaction to
an intelligent patronage.
The subjoined statement will furnish
the items of chief interest to the pub

A PICTURE OF BEECHER IN 1S71.
In clearing out an old desk we came
across the following notice of Mr.
Reecher. As you will see, it was writ
ten for the Omaha Rqubliean four
years ago. It will not meet the views
of soms of our readers in the light
of recent events nor would it our
own entirely, now; but it was written
just as we felt at the time, and with
just the impression th? man and his
sermon left on our mind. It must b3
remembered that we had not heard Mr.
Beecher since boyhood, and one of the
objects of our visit3 was to test our
youthful views by our manhood's ex
perience, lie was and is a most won
derful preacher. Ed. Herald.
IN NEW YORK.
PLYMOUTH CIIUICCII HEXRT WARD
BEECHEK.
Correspondence or the Republican.
New York, April 23, 1371.
On Wednesday ,the 12th day of April,
I left Omaha, the Queen City of the
Missouri slope, and on Saturday morn
ing I landed in New York, the ancient
city of Manhattan and the Knicker
bockers. SUNDAY MORNING.
Following the old habitual rule. I
followed the crowd, and found myself
at "Plymouth Church" in Brooklyn,
and waiting for the presence of its
master, Henry Ward Beecher. My
cousin being a pew holder in the
church, we passed the long file of stran
gers ranged on each side of the avenue
leading to the entrance, and seated
ourselves on the right hand side of one
of the centre aisles, half way up to the
pulpit.
The street, the doorway, and the
aisles of the church were already
crowded with strangers waiting to be
seated. By a regulation of the church
pew holders must send some member
of the family ten minutes before the
hour of service to take possession of
the pew, and to inform the ushers how
many members of the family are to be
present at the service. Even as we
entered, the strong voice and uplifted
hands of an usher entreated the crowd
to "stand back, stand back, gentlemen,
let the pew holders through; in a few
minutes strangers will be admitted to
seats." Think of that, ye ministers in
Nebraska! This church seats twenty
five hundred people, and yet a crowd
thronged the door, thronged the yard,
peopled the street, to hear one little
man teach the gospel.
Scarcely were we seated, when a
strong, loud voice announced, "Stran
gers will now be allowed to enter."
With a rush like the tramp of march
ing men, a great crowd surged up the
aisles, and parting right and left, sud
denly and 6ilently dropped into seats,
and like the streams of our prairie,
were lost among the sands of human
ity. Less time than I consume in
writing these words, aud this great
house was full.
A medium-sized, quiet man, now in
his fifties, with his hair combed
straight behind his ears, and a round
boyish face, steps upon the platform
behind a little square reading desk,
and a hush falls upon the house. Noi
sy tongues are still; curiou3 brains
cease their inquiry; fertile imagina
tions become fixed ; giddy heads turn
no longer; for
HENRY WARD BEECHER
stands before us, and his very pres
ence bespeaks a silent attention from
this crowd of listening wonder mon
gers. His prayer is said, the song is sung,
and then" with listening, eager gaze
and bated breath we await the text
"Do good to all men." My first im
pression of the great preacher was, and
I whispered it to my cousin, "How old
he has grown." There were gray hairs
in his head, but ah! not many words
were spoken, not many phrases turned,
before the hair passed from sight, the
bowed shoulders were forgotten, the
voice was lost to the ear, and only the
heart of the man, the brain of the ge
nius, the soul of the Christian remain
ed behind that little square desk.
Not often does it happen that a
preacher makes his audience laugh and
cry in the same breath. Not often
does it happen that a teacher illustrates
the profoundest lessons of life by the
simplest facts before our eyes. And
yet this man does all this and more.
He makes you feel that he is one of
you; that he takes an interest in you;
that there is a higher Power that takes
an interest in you, and that you are
not a waif, a drift, a creature of chance
in this world. "Do good to all men."
Christian or Jew, Heathen or Gentile,
Mason or anti-Mason, was the doctrine
that this man taught; kindness and
charity was his creed, love was his
confession of faith, and before he was
done with his view of life, not a soul
in that vast assemblage but felt more
In unison with his fellow kind more
like returning good for evil more like
walking in upright strength and purity
of principle than ever before. I knew
it, I felt it, and tho veriest beggar at
the stroet corner would receive a kind
er recognition in consequence of his
teachings.
Henry Ward Beecher is nearly sixty
years of age. As I have said, his hair
is turning grey: his voice at the begin
ning sounds a little like that of an old
man, but before he preaches ten min
utes you will think he is but forty, and
ere he is half done, you will insist that
he is still in the summer of life, and
just starting out in youth and hope to
travel earth's stormy path. Herein
are the evidences of his power and
greatness.

-THE TWO CANDIDATES FOR
GOVERNOR.
OLD BEN WADE.
Frtm (he ML Vernon Banner.
Old Ben Wade is said to be the most
profane man in Ohio. This accounts
for the fact that Deacon Richard
Smith's wicked partners are clamoring
for his nomination for Governor.
OLD BILL ALLEN.
From the Cincinnati Cnmmerrinl.
At last the military record of Col.
William Allen has been hunted up.
Some of his friends are, perhaps, of the
of tho opinion that since the late la
mented Legisature passed away in a
blaze of glory, it is necessary to fur
bish up the warrior's fame. The fol
lowing is, we believe, the most dramat
ic incident in the history of his ser
vices in the capacity of a military
chieftain:
"Capt. Allen told his men that when
he gave the command to fire it must
be done promptly and and all at once.
'Present arms,' says Capt. Allen. Pop
went a musket. 'Make ready. Pop
went another. 'Fire,' says Capt. Allen.
Pop, iM)p, pop. Capt. Allen straighten
ed himself up to his full height and
said, You have played hell, now,
haven't you ?' "
Red used on a railroad signifies dan
ger, and says stop. It should bo so
construed w hen displayed on a man's
nose.

The Gamins' Spelling Match.
From tha Detroit Free Press.
The spelling school fever effected
some of the gamins yesterday. They
talked it up around the post office and
a dozen or more adjourned to an alley,
and stood in a row, while one of the
number pronounced words "out of
his head". "Dog", "cat," "boot", "lem
on," and some other words had been
gotten along with, when "morocco"
cam into the teacher's mind. The first
boy spelled it "more-rock-o," and all the
rest followed, and when the teacher
filed his demurrer they ran him over a
pile of barrels, and hit him with frozen
potatoes.thus interrupting the harmony
and breaking up the school. One of
the boys was afterward heard saying:
"What's speHin' eool for. anvhow. .un
less a fellow wants to write poetry?'
Speaking of Fred Smith, of Lincoln,
who was killed by a fall the other day,
we happened to be looking over some
old Republicans containing our own
letters from Lincoln, in 1871, and found
this:
"A WOXDEUFUL DOO."
They have a great many curious an
imals hero outside of the Capitol walls.
1 saw the most wonderful dog in Lin
coln I ever remember to have seen
anywhere. They call him an "African
Hound." He is totally devoid of hair,
has a regular rat's tail and monkey's
claws, with a shiny, smooth, rhinose-rossy-kind
of a hide, and iTe knows
every word that is said to him. Mr.
Fred Smith, his owner, writes on his
back with a lead pencil aud rub it
off as you would on a slate.
The only reason I have mentioned
him thus particularly, is that it has
been suggusted he would make a good
rejorter's 'dorg." I cculd write my
notes out any where around town and
send "Jack" to the office with them ; as
he will play "dead" on command, the
typo could just lay him on the case be
fore him, and set up the Mss. from the
dorg's sides, then sponge him off and
send him out a again. New invention,
I claim a patent. The only trouble
is, Smith won't sell the dog.
