Tlie presidential electors will meet the second Tuesday in January in the vari ous states, to cast their ballots for pres ident and vice-president. Prior to Feb ruary 17, the date for the meeting of the college was in . eceml er, but the law was changed so as to fix the date the second Tuesday in January. The or der of business is first the presentation of the certificates of elaetion from the board of canvassers, which must 1 found to lie correct and satisfactory. Then the usual formula is put to them as to their qualifications for holding any office under the United States govern ment, and, should they reply in the neg ative, the oath is duly administered by the secretary of the state. The college is then organized by the election of a president and secretary; and then the electors cast their vote for president nnd vice-president of the United States. The vote is duly read, certified and sealed, nnd three copies are to lie prepared, one to be taken to Washing ton by a special messenger nnd one sent by mail. The secretary of state also re ceives one to lie placed in the archives of the commonwealth. The college then proceeds with the election of a messenger to carry the vote to Washington, whose compensation is solely by mileage, at the rate of 25 cents a mile. to give time for tho summoning of jury. Mr. 8. Barker started on a visit to his old home at Rushville last Saturday, re-turning from his several days visit yesterday. Mr. Barker Sr., intends to make a vis it to Rushville soon and we hear it ru mored that he may consummate the ar- rangments for taking unto himself a "life f artntr." Mr. Jan.

JoiTtNAL: n last week's Republican T see an un w aranted attack on Mr. S Barker and the Journal, charging both with stirring up strife between the Grangers and cat tle men and also warning people against a possible loss of their funds by putting them in the 1 ank of w hich Mr. Barker is cashier. . Now the facts in the case are, that such strife existed long before Mr. Barker or the Journal had seen Sioux county. And why? Surely there must lie a cause and there surely is. , While a port on of the cuttle men, bound by their honor and manhood have held aloof, others combined, with a purpose to rulo this county to their own henetit, and have succeeded mighty well so far. t is unnecessary to state how as all know onlv too well. But not content with skinning the county, this outfit, whose mouthpiece the R rul fican is- in open violation of all laws of manhood or even decency, resort now to a bulldozing sys tem that would bring the blush of shame tn iin ihw.k of anv honorable set' of men. Woe to the poor subject that would not worship at their shrine! Their chance for a living was doom ad. With 1 lood hounds they would lie chased from the ranches to prison some mut go, and from the stores they,must be discharged, and they with their families thrown out of employment. Others were threatentd variou: dy who would not vote nnd work according to their dictates. These and kindred measures were resorted to and tlieir forces now seem to be concentra ted uon Mr. Barker and the JorrNAL, bee a use they have had the courage to stand on the side of the people in de manding their rights. That such actions are cowardly is putting it tnildy. t is of the same spirit that hung John Brown the same that murdered Iwejoy and siiuk his printing press into the Mississip- ni river lcuuse he did dare to advocate ar.tislavery measures; it is the contempt- al le, cowardly spirit tlin.1 always conies upiermost where ever political rotten ness flourishes, but there is nn end to oil tilings and that the Republican won't cut any big figure with such stufi there is no need of saying.

There is a wide difference lietween buying goods from an agent or from the dealer direct. Thos. Reidy buys his nursery stock at wholesale, get ting thousands of trees at a time. A party of immigrants arrived by the overland route from Gnlc-sburg Illinois last week, consisting of Mr. G. B. har ington and wife nnd baby, and Alliert Taylor and wife and child. They will probably locate near here. Mr. John Blunt, of Beemer, Cummings county, arrived in Harrison last week. He brings a car load of stock, goods and farming implements. Mr. Blunt is an old acquaintance of Mr. Eli Smith of Bo darc. for whom he brought some stock. He has moved his goods to Mr. Smith's until a suitable location is found.

The touching memoirs of her 1 fe that she recounted could not fail to curry conviction to her listeners and enlist lheir-if not support, at least respect and confidence, if there existed a doubt liefore in the mind of any one, as to the sincerity of Mrs. Bassett's hristian endeavors, it must surely now be removed. Her argument was an in teresting and convincing one. Reliable parties just in from the Platte river, near the Pratt & Ferris ranch, say lwav com ban v has forty rods of grade iind laid ties and rails upon it at the point where the sur veyed line of the B. & M. crosses from Nebraska into Wyoming.

The plans of the invention is as follows: Two massive piers would be built, one on each bank of the river. Heavy shafts stand up obliquely hy the piers. At the bottom of the shafts an endless" belt runs from shaft to shaft across the river; but deep enough in the water to allow the largest lake vessels to pass over it. . The belt is made of two strands of two inch cable connected with cable every five or six feet, 'nto the spaces are fitted sheet iron plates three by five feet, pivoted at one end, opening either way, but chained so mat tney omm but a short distance. Tri full force of the c urrent pressing on wiese places forces the belt around at a great rate, and by nn ingenious arrangnient I the current is felt both going and corn- built i Ti, ,!,..( I a rovnl vinff drive a cable ! and furnish power on the banks.
