" y : ; Next, Delegate to Congress. , It is not-, perhaps, too early to' drop" a word.ia regard to Candidates for Dele gate to Congress from Nebraska.' There is no doubt, figuring, being done by the various aspirants and their friends, and whv nnt lpr tW '.IiWn 7 W. i . I m namesto suggest ; know of no aspi rants in this immediate region. . Our ob- ect in calling attention to the subject at present is, that by early agitation some definite issue may be reached and agreed upon, that the result may be a reflection of the wishes of a majority of the citi- zens 01 ine.ierniory. We are anxious that. our Delegate may not continually be encumbered ; with a contested seat," to which most of his ef tin . ... . - vvnai tnat issue snail be, political or I ocal, we are not particularly anxious ; would prefer the former, however. We are confident that rrennirm Dpmnrrnrv. m t t ,r V Udy iuium,u. e are rquany sure, too, that the triumph of Democratic principles as set forth m the platform of the nartv. Tvilrtbnrl tr. ,.. i . , , ture State. Sham Democracy, however, will -not do, here or elsewhere. Men who sacrifice principle for policy cannot lead the democracy to victory ! The man who succeeds as a Democrat must be clean on that record so clean that no dovbls be entertained; His assertions will not do his past conduct only will answer. i he man who has stood up for the princx- pies of the ( Democratic party amid the ihuhderinj anathemas hurled from the Executive throne, is "a man for the times." Those who have truckled, suc- cummed.or "sold their birth-riht for a mess of pottage" need not present, them selves, nor attempt by "wire pulling" to secure the position of standard bearer, either by a nominating convention or oth- enyise ; defeat, overwhelmingly, only awaits such.: , It is all important, to the people of Ne braska that they start right in political matters, therefore :we talk plain. While we allow no man to advocate, in this lat titude, free state principles more zealous ly than we do free state without negro equality, amalgamation or association we cannot believe otherwise than that the triumph of Republican principles, as laid down in the platform of that party, will result detrimental to the true inter- note. fV.fi tt-Vmlft ...

We learn from the Omaha Times of the 17th inst., . that the editor of the JVe- braskian,- Theodore H.. Robertson, Esq;, was cowhided by a lady of that city on Saturday the JiJth. Ve have not learned the particulars, or who the lady was. The following paragraph relative to the matter we clip from the Times : "The lady who played .so prominent a part, it is said, felt aggrieved at the at tacks which have for some time past ap peared in the Nebraskian upon her hus band. She met the author of the attacks on the steps of the Post Office, and, pull ing from a place of concealment in her dress a cowhide, struck him across the face, at the same time saying, 'You shan't abuse my husband or words to that ef fects From this time forward, as two of the lady's friends, not being far off, ap peared, and one of them interfered in her behalf, in the din and confusion of the battle,nuch was lost by our reporter. The editor was seen to lay his hand upon a revolver which he carried in his breast pocket fortunately it caught in the lining or tfce pocket, and he only succeeded in getting it released as a bystander inter fered. and look it from him bv mam force."

But in this they were disap pointed, as is usually the case where in dividuals, on their own popularity, under take to run against the regular nominees of a party properly and thoroughly or- ?anized. The regularly nominated democratic ticket 'was elected throughout, which gives the city a list of officers very well qualified for their respective duties, and it is to be hoped that the best interests of the city maybe constantly kept in view, and a large public indebtedness avoided. .
