A Special The meeting here this after -noon is a large one and is being held behind locked do:-rs. As it is sti 1 grinding aw;iy at this hour (3 o'clock) I cannot give you much information. Wabash is being advocated as a htroDg competitor of Louisville and Manly and has many advocates. I have heard enough on the outside, however, to haz ard an opinion that the meeting will either decide to unanimously support Louisville or it will break up in a row. Beatrice's Liberality.

Before th? papers can be made out a confederate comes alone. falls in love with the same farm and offers the fanner $2,000 moru than the othr did.

As result the boys were well received on their f nival the citizens vieing with each other to do honor to tneii- soldier visitors. To the casual observer, who suv the Nebraska boy congregate knots u the street corners ai:d in quiet nool s to discuss the war, it appeared as though these little bands of Nebrask troops vcre the fellows thr.t put down the rebellion. At any rate it seemed to be clearly proven that Major Pearman of the 2nd, succeded in cutting his way out, and preventing his command from being stampeded, when surrounded on the pliina by a lone Indian.

Peter Bates vas fifty seven years obi yesterday and although it was the first time he had ever been fifty-seyen years c;kl, yet he wus not impressed with the importance of tha event and went about his busines.'i as usual. Seme of hie brothers nrcd sisters in the I. O. O. F. lodge however concluded to do him up, which they did in good style and with singular completeness. Mr Bates is the j initor of the Odd Fellows' IJall, and when he was notified to open the hall for a special meeting of the Rebeccas, l.e obeyed the summons without any misgivings, though the number present was barely a quorum, and while the obliging janitor was putting out the lijrhts and closing the hall, those present slipped out and joined the crowd that h already asse mbled at the Bates mansion and waited but a few moments for the head of the house to appear. He came in on the crowd and was astonished be yond measure at meeting so many friends without notice; uader such circumstances he surrendered gracefully and told every body to make themselyes at home which they did. Coffee aud cake were seryert and an exceptionally nice social lime was had until a late hour, when the crowd numbering 85 persons sought their homes. As a memorial of the wholesale visit, Peter now occupies a nice revolving chair and eats his mush and milk out of a very handsome bowl with salver and pitcher to match. Mrs. Bates was also remembered with a mush and milk set. Mr. Bates can bo thankful that ho is only 57 and bas snch a host of warm friends to help him celebrate a birthday anci -versary.

Fred was the reci pient of many nice presents, among which was a useful writing desk, and a musi folder, and if Fred does not have the best time of any bov in town it is ; not the fauit of his indulgent parents.

This iuc n diary article is printed specially that our people may see the ill feeling which .Mr Race is trywijr to s ir up, and that the effect of such talk may be guarded agninst. The Eagle's head lines are ms follows: Plattsmouth Fraud Legalized by Maxwell of the supreme court A led headed demonstration held by the people over the event. "The band of conspirators living in the northeast corner of the county, held a jubilee and painted their town red, in honor of the victory over right, justice and the people of Cass county. Judge Mux well rendering a decision on the bond question iu their favor. It seems that Cass county is in the control of a few men, these, backed by a corrupt judge, who mocks at right and justice, and upholds the basest fraud by his ruticttr, completely enslaving the masses of the county. The people are indignant, they are amused to a sense of the slav ery they are subjected to, by tue miuioui of the law, and a band of unserupulu men, who would not hesitate to call all the devils in hell to their assistance, or to crucify their Saviou a second time, if the could accomplish their hellish pur pose by so doing. The Journal came out dyed in a crim son hue with seven great roosters (sayed from the wreck of November 4th ,) de claring that right had prevailed. The right to vote a bond tax of $60,000, on the pcopie by fraud, the right to build a court house iu Cass county on money virtually stolen from the peo, le. The right to stuff tiie ballot box with impun ity; and thea to have it legalized by a supreme judge of the state of Nebraska Tliis same judge owns a line piece of land adjoining Plattsmouth. lie cvi lently wanted to improve its commercial Value or'ue would not have reversed the decision of Judge Broady, who after bearing the evidence in the Cuso declared the election void, on accouut of ihe fraudulent votes of Plattsmouth. The question of the location of lull has in en in doubt for many ages, aud it remained for Cass county to uncover the spot within her limits, the cru.it wis found to be extremely thin in that part of the country for a. miljortwo wtsti-.nd south of the place where the waters of the Platte unite v.'itli the Missouri. Right there was found the headquarters of Satan's dominions, with brauclu-s at Omaha, Italy and New York. Here; a board of trade is established, with un limited power to call for and get any thing they wiint except a certain piece of artillery. This one thing, liko the tree in the Garden of Eden, rvas forbidden them, but they broke the commands of Satan iu this respect, and west for the gun. It was a futile effort. It in turn opened i;s mouth, and in thunder tones spoke to the people of enslaved Cass. Rise up as to one man and pull down the temple erected by lying, cheating, swearing, drinking, stuffing and every known vice that a board of trade at Plattsmouth could devise. The voting and taxpaying people of old Cass propose to have a hand in the administration of this county. They propose that their voices and votes shall be counted, cot in opposition to any legal voter of the county, but against any and all sueh yotes that are illegally cast against them. The votes have been monkeyed with on this question long enough. That board of trade and its one sided and narrow minded backer (Maxwell) haye transferred the war from hell to Italy, to the hayseeds and wage workers of what herctofare has been called Cass county. Let the war go on. There never will be peace and harmony in Cass county as long as these self constituted rulers de ceivers and thieves, have the power to stuff a ballot box, or corrupt a judge to back them up in doing it.
