Thayer, in dis cussing the circulation of Major Cal houn's petition among repuhliciins tho other day, Huid: "I understand uioro than '200 old Union Bold i or h have Binned Culhoun'H petition, and that they huvo signed it bucuuBo he is an ex-confederate Boldior, in order to hIiow that they had no fooling against him on that account. Now, I do not wish to bring up tho old war question in connection with Cal houn; I am not fighting against his selection as postmaster, but I cannot help reminding tho old soldiers that by asking for Calhoun's npiointment they huvo given Jiitn tho preference for tho reason that ho was in tho rebel army. They endorse him on that account. How docs that look to them? Hut I huvo heard it Buid, 'I prefer a rebel sol dier to ono who was a northern copper head during tho war.' So say I, overy time. I heartily endorse that senti ment; but are wo to conclude that thero is no compotcnt democrat in Lincoln worthy to bo postmaster who was loyal and putriotic during tho lato war? I am not willing to admit that. In my judgm6nt tho old soldiers, includ ing mysolf, huvo made fools of ourselves, and I took tho first occasion to rcliovo mysolf from .that disagreeable predica ment. Certain democrats laid u nice lit tle trup for us. In tho coming cam paign, when wo charge thut the southern brigadiers in tho luto struggle to over throw tho government uro now in con trol of tho presidency and both houses of congress, thoy, tho democrats, will point to the fact that tho union votorans of Lancaster county endorsed an ox confederate to bo postmaster of Lincoln, and wilt naturally usk, what have you to say against tho southern brigadiorH? What huvo wo republicans to do with this contest, anyhow. It is not our fun eral Wo ought to l)o, anil I am, in tho position of tho old woman in thut terrific contest between her husband and tho beur: 'Go it old bruin, go it old hoss, I don't euro a continental which gets licked.' It really does mo good to seo tho fight in tho democratic ranks go on; 'my health improves on it; it ifl as good as u tonic. Oh, tho harmonious democ racy!" General Thayer has written to tho postmaster-general asking that his name bo taken from tho petition. As mutters begin to tako tangible shape, politically, it becomes manifest that in tho republican ante convention campaign this year, tho situation will possess at least one unusual feature. In tho first congressional district, it is going to bo tho field against tho Nemaha county politician, Church Howe, and in tho state it is going to bo tho field against tho Nemaha county politician, Tom Majors. At this moment it cannot bo said thut Howe's prospects for tho congressional nomination aro nil ; nei ther can Majors aspirations for tho governorship be regarded lightly. Doth men uro very much in eurnest, and they aro prepared to make a hard light. Majors will huvo tho ' more or loss violent opposition, tho opposition of tho working element of tho state cen tral committee, and thero is, moreover, a considerable feeling of hostility among members of tho party genorally, tho opinion being expressed that Majors has carried his light far enough. In his campaign for tho congressional nomi nation Howe may have atho silence of tho Jlcc, but not any active help, and ho will bo opposed by tho anti Rosowater republicans. Lancaster county will solect from its three soi-disant candi dates, and presenting a solid front Lan caster will l)o a formidable obstacle in Howe's way. Church is working his preliminary canvass chiefly on tho old soldier question. In this city it is evident that Judgo Witters will have some opposition in the approaching spring campaign ; hut from tho present outlook it is altogether prob able that Waters will bo renominated. Some activity is already manifest in tho wards and there is a prospect of some lively contests. II. 15. Sawyer, out in tho Sixth has a just claim to tho title of coming man. In tho Fourth O. W. Webster will bo a candidate for rcnomi uation. Chris Camp is also a candidnto in this ward. Moscloy will have somo opposition in tho Fifth. A growing tendency of Americans is thus caricatured by a contemporary: "Tho formation of tho Society of Descendants of Soldiers of tho Colonial Wars will bo followed, I am sure, by a Socioty of Descondunts of the Men and Womon of tho Colonial Peace. You can bo a governor-general, a deputy gov-ornor-gencrul, and bo on in tho former, and got just as good an ofllce in tho latter tit tho sumo price. Certain it is thut overy American is descended from somebody, and certain it seems to bo that ho must belong to u socioty of tho descondunts of somebody or tho wins of whutyoumuycallit. I know no peoplo moro covetous of ancestral distinction than my esteemed countrymen in this republic, whero hereditary honors aro supposed not to count. From the so cioty of the Cincinnati to tho Gentle men's Sons of tho Sixt' Ward, tho pas sion rules, (live us plenty of red sashes and ribbons, a military cap or a cocked hat to wear upon our simple republican heads, u wreath of medals and badges upon our rejoicing breasts, bright war like trc users and miscellaneous togs, and u scabbard whacking away at our shrunk shanks, and wo uro as happy us u Guinea nigger with u stovepipe hut. An ofllco for overy man, tho moro pon derous and oriental tho title tho better, a chance to be enrolled among tho descendants of somebody, or in some society of great name, u chance to inarch in procession mid to hear speeches at "banquets," and our hearts aro as cork. Hurrah for us, thoonly people that loves simplicity, detests flummery, abhors titles, and hates vain pomp and show! Hurrah for us, I say, and let every hand wave tho plumed crest:" Hood's Pills aro easy to take, easy in action and sure in effect. 2T cents a box.
