"We have been asked to call the Coun

It was currently reported that Gov.
Garber went to California for his health
and now they say his health demanded
a new wife. How is that Governor?
"Wish you joy happiness and everything

The Republican State Central Com
mittee is called to meet at Lincoln on
July 21st, to call conventions for nom

of the University, and Prosecuting
Attorneys in the new districts. All
of which is providing the new Con

The Hekald has employed special
artists, from Europe, to embellish the
papers for several weeks, and would
like to illustrate the late indignation
meeting very much, but unfortunately
when our artist endeavored to cut the
face of one of the chief mourners from
below, he broke his graver on the first
wrinkle in his cheek. That spoilt the
picture and wo can't waste a kit of
tools on such hard subjects.
The IJeecher Tiltou Trial is at last
closed. The jury were out eight days
and finally disagreed, standing 9 forac
quittal to 3 for conviction. They bal
loted 50 or CO times, and once had 11
members for IJeecher only one stand
ing out for Tilton, and had they been
brought into court then the verdict
would have been for IJeecher as the
Tilton man would not have continued
to stand out. Two of his comrades re
tracted and stood for Tilton again, and
thus finding they could not agree they
asked to be brought into court, and so
stated whan Judge Xeilson discharged
them.
At last we have the verdict, and
mustn't that Jury feel relieved, 101
days of evidence, 18 or 20 of arguing,
2 occupied by the court and 8 in their
own deliberations. "Well it has been a
preat trial not only to the parties in
Brooklyn, but to the newspaper men
aud to the readers; one half the read
ers of papers wanted more of it and
the other half none of it, and that tried
the editors and when the readers got
it they quarreled over it and that tried
their tempers, and those who didn't
read it formed opinions any way and
got mad because other folks thought
differently and so on, in some way it
has been a great trial to every! ody.
The con con was to liberally dispos
ed when the members gave the publish
ers 10 dollars for publishing the con
stitution two issues. IJut it is on aver
age with the liberality of public men
towards newspapers the best invest
ment for the people of the state, and
the worst for the owners. The idea is
to starve the local press down to skel
etons. Adams County Gazette.
The Lincoln Journal rather objects
to this statement. We think it correct
"VTe can prove that the cost by the
pamphlet plan will be more than to
have paid the newspapers a decent
price for publishing the same and not
a pamphlet is seen yet. The people to
day only know of the constitution by
the liberality and enterprise of the
much abused county newspapers.
W give elsewhere the account of
the meeting to inquire into the preced
ing of onr County Commissioners. In
many respects it was a fizzle. The get
ters up began at the wrong end, and
yet it may be productive of great good.
The right to inquire and petition
should never be abridged, and never
wi'l we hope in this free country, and it
may be that the determination of our
peoyUj to fes and to know how our
public aihairs are managed will le pro
ductive of more earefullness, more
economy and better management here
after; no matter how awkwardly the
inquiry is set about.
The Commissioners publish, author
itively, a full statement and ;is far as
we can make out the' seem to say that
they never let a contract to themseves,
never let a contract to a commissioner,
inspected it themselves and audited it
themselves; which was the chief bur
den of Mr. Todd's charge. They sim
ply authorise. Tr. "White to see that
the bridges were built in good shape,
according to the contract and specifica
tions, at the nominal price of S per
foot. This may or may not have been
wise, but no evidence of fraud appears.
In regard te the extraordinay levy.
They show conclusive!' that tfiey
started in over 83,000 in debt, that the
Legislature crowded several thousand
more on them that they had no option
alxjut, and that 820,000 had to be lev
ied to meet the 1$. & M. tax. They al
so show that the levy this year is very
light.
The wisdom of these measures the
Hekald will discuss hereafter; at
present time and space bid us stop.

fact. Mr "White is not only mistaken as
to mv?elt bur. 1 nave sound reasons lor i
believing that ho forgets as to the other
plan, they therefore made an estimate
of the kind of bridges bent calculated
to stand in this county, and advertised
the lotting of contracts in a number of

awaiting the affray. At an early hour att;raey Bivin hm or the IJoard any
the people from the southern part of
the county began to roll in, and by
noon we were handsomely represented
by the rural population.
As you all know, Tuesday was the
regular day of meeting of the County
commissioners, ana an tins row was
kicked up by somebody became it was
thought the bonds to the Trunk road
and possibly those returned from the
R. & M. had never been destroyed:
Also to ask the County Commission
ers to translate their Bridge Contract
System of last summer into Kass Koun-
ty English.
Right after dinner the horny handed
and hard fisted assembled in the Court
House, and Ilro. Todd proceeded to di
late.
He told us wonderfully touching
stories of wrong and want and woe.
and denounced M. L. "White in fearful
figures, but wound tip by saying he did
not know much about it after all, and
had only heard so and so, and asked
that a Committee be appointed to in
vestigate the books and accounts of
the Commissioners-
IJefore the Committee was appoint
ed nowever, jur. KirkpatricK got up
ana speecneu a lime, lie mc Todd a
square slap in the mouth, (metophori-
cally) and winked at the Herald, then
he offered some resolutions which will
be'published in next week's Herald
in full. Short hand they called for
the vacation of M. L. "White's office
and the burning of all R. If. Bonds and
all other county indebtedness.
Then Todd and he sparred a little
and the "meetin' " accepted "KirkV
addenda and appointed the Committee
which consisted of
Messrs Todd, Sheldon, Doud and B.
F. Ramsay.
Pretty shortly after this, the body
corporate adjourned, and the Commit
tee prepared to wait on the
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
down in the Court House. In the rear
sian sat tne august L'ounty Court in
all the panoply of legal authority,
calmly awaiting the onslaught, minu
tes passed and no Committee, gradua
lly and by degrees, the face and form
of Todd edged in at the east door of
the room and the solemn and combined
such counsel. Mr attention waa first
called to the course pursued by the Co.
Commissioners by the letter of "Old Set
tler" in the Watchman, at which time Mr.
White came tome with his written state
ment which I now have asking ma to
shape it into a reply, for him, to "Old
Settler," then and there I first learned the
fact which he claimed and published, viz:
That the contract was awarded to him
self (?) I very naturally enquired where"
the Board derived its authority to so con
tract. His reply was, he had "slept with
Mr. Marquette" and taken his careful
opinion en the matter. Com'rs James
aud Chirk were both present when he
made this statement.
As to Mr. Cummins' bill, which was
allowed; in reply to Mr White's statement
I hold his written ce rtificatc to the cor
rectness aud justice of the account and
asking the Legislature to authorize the
Board of Commissioners to allow it, and
I am willing to allow that certificate offi
cially made to stand side by side with

The Wrong Side of the Sleridian.
On the down hill side of life, which an old
medical writer quaintly terms "the wrong side
of the nierdian." when the functions decay and
th e frame gradually bends under the weight of
years, the system requires to be sustainedun
der the burden imposed upon it. Innumerable
physical ailments and infirmities then press up
on it to which it had been in earlier life a stran
ger. The surest and pleasantcst support and
solace of declining years is found in Hostetter's
Stomach Hitters, long recognized as tlie most
