Tiik Lincoln Journal notices the Omaha RepuMican lon; enough to any it has not represented Nebraska either for ov against the man trom Maine, and remarks something about an "unrcgeu erate falseliood" which is to be inter preted as the olive branch upon the lilaiue question. President AnTnuit and part7 went flyinc through this country not even deigning to give Mayor Chase and the city of Omaha a chance to grow great at his expense. tiIt is ever thsu" "There is betwixt that sweet smile we "would aspire to. That sweet aspect of "princes etc." Thk Kentucky election came oft yes terday. Democratic majority about the same as usual, and Proctor Knott elect ted Governor by about forty thousand majority. The vote cast was very light, very little interest being taken in the election. Free lights reported in many locali ties. . Cass county farmers report a much better yield of small grain, when they come to thresh, than they counted on. They say the yield is much better than they estimated it would be; this but confirms the IIkralp in its belief that entirely too little attention has been paid of late years to the cultivat ion of small grain the river counties of Ne- braskv. J he six yenrs term of Chief Justice Lake, of the Xi brka Supreme Court, expirpH very won, and his successor iu to be chosen nt our coming fall election. Wo hear the names f several gent!. men mentioned us aspiring fohthat posl sition and among those the mime of Hon. M. 11. Itroc, of Suandenr, ronnty. The .Saunders county Tribnne mmes to our table with a labored leader in advocacy of Mr. Keeso particularly inai ked. The mo6t remarkablo feature of thi article is its advocacy of this gentle man on the plea ot "culture.'' The Tribune wants IiTjhrrcnltun upon the snprnne bench more Iearulng and more industiy. The plain argu ment of the article is - that the present court, as constituted, is an unleurued and common-placo; tribunal; hence; that journal bases Mr. Howe's claim to recognition entirely upon the superior culture, learning and industry, he will bring to the bench in case he should be chosen to Succeed Justice Lake. - The plea of the Tribune is uiodctaly made, and will doubtless advance the cause of that gentleman irninennely. A man learned in the lore of his profession," is what the Tribune oilers the supreme bench. Then we will have discussion, reasoning, research. Then "the want of energy and lack of desire to excel," will be remedied, acd "the infusion of younger, more ambitious" blood, will be supplied. The Saunders county bar is to be congratulated for coining to the rescue of the State at large with the very article to supplj'. the Tribune's long felt want. Next! The Lincoln Democrat says we arc aDoloeists for the Boss Stout contract lettiHg the Boarl of Public Lanie, &c we understand, think we are reflecting upon that board of officials, and in the meantime we were felicitating ourself with the well grounded hope we were on the fence waiting the facts, and we hereby give notice we do not propose to apologize f r anybody in this matter, but are willing to -await the decision of the courts upon it. Republican papers over in Iowa, find such a scarcity of opposition in the ring since the campaign opened, they are proceeding, according to the rules governing contests in the manly art, to have several friendly sets too. The State Register seems to be calling all the disgruntled brethren to a reckoning, and several of these riot overly pleased, journals with the State platform, are cheerfally putting on the gloves. It won't do any harm, they may be making a good deal of back shed noise over there, but it only means an increase in tl3 Republican majorities next fall. . It is perhaps well enough .to never borrow trouble, but wait until we get to the stream before worrying, too much, about how we are going to get over it; among republican journals, the Pennsylvania Republicans have been criticised freely on account of the reso lution engratted in the platform of the party of that state in regard to a dis tribution of surplus revenues, when such :in occasion does arise in this country among the several states of the Union, to be applied to the relief of the citizen from local taxation, the . idea generally expressed is, that we are yet a good ways off from that, point, and until the national debt is cleaned up, it is nonsense to declare as a party meas ure upon that question, Hut the dem ocratic party are loud in their condem nation of that plan aud the democracy of Pennsylvania are "alarmed" "point with alarm" to it; at least one would think so by reading the platform of that party upon that question. The democratic party bhould not go into tantrums over this plan, it has dem ocratic authority in its favor and was once, (in 1836) good old democratic doctrine; advocated by John C Cal houn during President .Jackson's ad ministration, and when this country had practically no public debt. It was called a "Deposit." Mr. Calhoun cham pioned a measure to appropriate the surplus money in the U. S. treasury, January 1, 1837, amounting to about 838,000,000 by "depositing" the same among the different states according to their population. The states to give certificates paj able to. the United States in return. It was in the shape of a loan to the States, to be used as they saw fit; and to be returned when called for by congress, to meet appropriations made by that body. It was a popular democratic doctrine, and passed the Senate with only four votes against it, and the house by a vote of 155 for and 38 against. It was a bungling measure but it was good old democratic doc trine nevertheless and warmly approv ed of by Andrew "Jackson. The Penn sylvania republicans, however, propose a much more sensible and practical plan. When tte occasion does arise they propose this surplus f-hall be paid back to the people of the states to be applied to the relief of the burdens of local taxation, it is not a new - invention and especially our democratic brethren should not."point to it wit It. alarm." - rKOTIXTION MWM'ONSTITrTIOV. ScjiaU-r H.iyiud.t u n-nt bdler calling in qucHlitiou the ctJliMt i t ill loti.ili ty of a protective t.'intr has brought out a Ut ter from l'irt Controller Lawrence to the AfH'K-intlon (,f Aim rl an 1 'cr.no in 1st 4. .ludgo Lawrence ilcnien the statement that a prt et I vo Intlfl' im pfwe.i aMp'illic burden upon (ho entltn M Ojle for the benefit of private iudi viduals'. or that the private Individual thus benefited or protected coiislllntn 'privileged classes."

IT:' The Pennsylvania Democrat a resolv ed to "uphold the sanctity of personal liberty." This is well as far as it goes. Cut why did not the convention go on and uphold the sancity of the multi plication table and the equator? When a Committee on Platform has - nothing in the, world to say it invariably pro ceeds to uphold the sancity , of some thing, that ' is in no possible danger from any source, being upheld by; the irresistible force of public sentiment. A platform. without a platitude is a re freshing exception to the general rule. Jf. Y, Tribnoe. - . The report of the Treasury Cattle Commission famishes gratifying proof of the entire absence of the foot-and mouth disease among the herds of this country. The injustice of the recent statements made in the British Parlia ment to the effect that cattle infected with the disease were being shipped from American ports is shown fiom the fact that no authenticated cases of the disease have ever been known here, excPDt such as were traceable to the inl- portltion of Enlish caltte.: The dis ease was nrst Drougnc to uanaaa uom England in 1S71. and then found its way across-the border. Owing to the vigorous measures taken by the Amcri' can authorities, it was soon stamped out. Since then the other importa tions of the disease have occurred, but the infection did not extend to Ameri can herds. Cattle, however, shipped to England ' in the same vessels that brouht fhelnfectlon here were attacked with the disease, and tqia gave rise to the statements made in in the .Kngltsb Parliament about American cattle. For England to forbid the importation of American cattle on such erouuds would be both foolish and unjust. N. Y. Tribune. . Also, a very complete etock ot Funeral Goods.
