Disappointment in the arrival of paper
forces us to come cut to-day in colors.
J Grant.
In every-day life coolness is an indis
pensable, requisite to success, and still
more to under circumstance of appre
bended danger or actual peril. To act
in haste under aifcimpulse of fear soon
leaves a man unguarded and rp n to the
attacks of a wary enemy and gives hint
the prestage cf an imaginary triumph at
.least. Thus feems to us the present
hoisting, by a great many papers, cf the
came of Gen. Gram for the next Presi
dency. Had this been done previous to
the late elections it would have been re
garded as an outburst of an cncontrol.i
lie esteem and trust in Gen- Grant; a
it is, it seems more like a grab for the
most available man to retrive our losses,
which are not of sufficient magnitude tu
cause any dread of the result in 1SGS.
The haste and rush and at this time is
what we object to. Gen. Grant suits us
perfectly if he is the Republican nomi
nee; yet with the present incumbent in
the White House to remind us of what
on overweening confidence has done fur
the country, it seems to us high time to
act with deliberation in this important
matter. Though feeling, pc-ihaps, as great
esteem for Grant's military record as
"any other man" we are opposed to the
elevation to civil trust mainly because ol
military glory. Statesmen and herosare
not made of the same material. Gram
has, at limes, had the benefit of consid
erable doubt on the Republican tide ot
the house. Has ever a doubtful note
escaped Sheridan, Coif -tx, or Stanton?
If so we never heard it.
It is yet a long time until even the
nominations are made ; an important ses
sion of Congress will soon convene. Tl e
political situation may assume an entirely
different aspect from that which it now
wears. We are in favor of the 40th
Congress and sT nominee who has and
will walk in its footsteps in reconstruc
tion, protection, economy and the pay
ment of the national debt.

Will They Know Tliclr Friends?
This question was often asked by
Union men during the time last Spring
when Wade Hampton, and other rebels
'arere honey-fuggling around the' negros
of South Carolina and other States for
their votes. Do they know their friends?
Have you heard from Virginia? Even
the Associated Press dispatches, noto
riously in the interest of conservatism,, ad
mit that nine-tenths of the colored men
voted for the Radicals and a Convention,
while the whites went for Conservatives
and against Convention ! Convention
carried, with a large majority of Rad
icals to hold it ! '-Ai.d the negro troops
fought nobly," and Lave'nt ceased quite
yet!!
Why was Sheridan removed ? The
principal objections made against him at
the lime, was that he was removing
State and county officials who interfered
with reconstruction, and that this was
military usurpation unwarranted even by
the Reconstruction 13.11. His succescor
has made several removals on the same
plea! The Clerk and Sheriff of the 4th
Judicial District of Louisiana and the
Council cf the City cf Jefferson have
been thus removed and the Military
CommanJer has filled the vacancies by
appointment! Why was Sheridan re
moved? What has Johnson gained?
Why don't conservaties howl? Why?
Our readers doubtless remember the
attempt made last Spring to burn the
store of Will R. King in Omaha, and the
finding cf the mutilated remains of the
clerk. Woolsev D. Hi"rnns. in hi t.o.t ;i
03
the store after the fire was extinguished.
Otway G. Boker, the porter who slept in
the store with Higgins, and who was ar.
rested for arscnand murder, has just been
convicted cf the crime char-red. His
counsel gave notice cf a motion for a
tew trial.
The Rriagc I'and.
Though regarding the success of the
Fund voted for a; cur recent election
i wiih much atisfaction, we have thus far
i
sit.ee the election cmmitied saying so.
No If tier evidence cf the public spirit

Thu3 it will be seen that while the
ucrth half voted against improvements in
bridging, the Nemaha river, the south
half voted for it unanimously. Yet the
river parses through the entire length cf
the county from the south-east comer to
the north-west corner, and the bridges
are needed all along it. SI, 000 of the
money was to defray the expenses-of the
survey of the M. & M. R. A. L. R. R.
Three bridges are badly needed im
mediately. One between BradleyYand
Long's, one on the site of the old Wed
die bridge and one at or near Rennet's
Mill. The present Toll bridge below
Nemaha City should b purchased and
made a free bridge. With these bridges
built we beWevjj the crossings .will be
sufficiently neuriand numerous to accom
modate the wants of the community.
In this connection we are pleased to
commend the conduct of Dr. Holmes,
President of the Bjaid of Commissioners,
for his action in submitting tlus vote to
the people. He ii now avowedly iu
favor of public improvement, and says he
always was; the doubt that at one time
seemed to obscure his theory in this re
spect increases our pleasure in commend
ing him as "all right."
Financial.
In rcund Lumbers the expenses of the
Government for the past year have been
&350 000,000. leaving a surplus of about
8100,000 000. This Secretary McCul
loch proposes to apply to reducing the
National Debt, yet suggests a reduction
of taxation so thai there will be but a
surplus of $50,000,000 over and above
expenses. This suggestion Congre'ss
will qdopt. The policy of the Republi
can party i. and always must be, econo
my in expenditures ai d the payment of
the National debt. History affords no
example cf a Government passing from
war to peace so quietiy and economically
as ours has under the guidauce of the
Republican party. With cne-hundredth
part cf the protection to American man
ufacturcs that it has cost England to be
come the farmry for the world, Ameri
ca will take England Ts rlace in this re
spect, the millions sent from our chores
even now will be retained and the pres
ent rebel-regarded curse because made
by their defeat the National debt will
be the greatest National blessing ever
received. The debt will necessitate pro
tection and economy, and the honor of
the Nation and the Republican party will
never peirait its repudiation.
Arago.
We are pleased to recognize the merits
of Arago, Richardson county, to rank as
anions the thriving towns of this Land
District, and were sorry to have unin
tentionally omhted it in our article on
the business of this District. From the
Southern Acbraskian, published there,
we extract the lollowing :
'Arago, ten miles north east of Falls
City, has a population of cbout 700, has
five large general stores, one dtug store,
four saloons, two ho.tels, one saw mill,
one flouring mill, one tin and .stove store,
two vpgon shops, two blacksmith shops,
two tuilor shops, one cooper shop, one
shoe store and shop, one jewelry shop,
one harness shop, one turning shop, one
cabinet shop, one barber shop, one distil
lery, one brewery, cne bakery, one meat
market, one brick a;id one shingle man
ufactory, and two newspapers."
The two newspapers are the JWbras
kian, and a German paper entitled the
U'csiliche Pionicr, edited by M. Most,
both published at the same office.
Wre are pleased to note the prosperity
of our sister town yet sorry to notice the
manner of Bro. Pierce's calling our at
tention to it. Next time try "good words
or turf,'' when you wish a courtesy.
The Rulo Register, published in Rich
ardson county, truthfully says :
"No cne will deny but what our pub
lie interests must sutler more or less un
til the County Seat is prmanently locat
ed." No one can doubt it who is conversant
with the history of that county. As one
of the richest counties in the State, her
County Town should be among the larg
est: yet, with uear a dozen small burgs
quarreling over the County Seat, none
Lave had permanence and peace, which
bringth prosperity.

Lajins cf the Corner Stone cf
'Christ Cimrcli, Brownville.
Tuesday, the 20ih, at 3 o'cLek, p. m.,
being the time appointed for the "laying
of the Corner Stone" for the abovenam
ed edifice, a goodly number of the citi
zens, including many ladies, gathered at
the parsonage Jot to witness the cere
mony. The hour having arrived a pro
cession was formed head by Mayor
Church and E. W. Thomas! Arriving
at the corner designated for the stone,
the service began by the reading of the
122 Psalm of .David. Prayer was then
offered, and the Stone neatly laid in its
place by the master builder. Mr. Gates.
Re. Mr. Davis then striking the Stone
three times with a hammer, performed
the ceremony of laying the Stone in the
name of the Blessed Trinity.
A box, containing the following books
and documents, was deposited in the
Stone by Lawyer Thomas :
LIST OF CEPOSITS

in Chicago.

Hartford, Conn.

A copy of the Charter of the City of
Brownville.
And a paper containing the following
historical sketch :
Missionary jurisdiction of Nebraska
and Dakota, the Rt Rev. Robert Harper
Clarkson, DD., Bishop.
ChristChurch. Brownville, the Rt. Rev.
George R. Davis, Missionary in charge.
This Church was erected chiefly with
money given by ChristChurch, Hartford,
Conn., (after which the parish is named)
and the citizens of Brownville and vici
nity. Corner Stone laid by the Rev. G.
R. Davis, at 3 o'clock, r. m., Oct. 29ih,
A. D., 1S67.
President of the United States, An
drew Johnson.
Governor of Nebraska, David Butler.
Mayor of the City of Brownville,
Jarvis S. Church.
The contents of this paper being read,
an address was delivered by the Rev.
Mr. Davis, after which the "Gloria in
Excelsis" was sung, Mrs. Davis presid
ing at the Melodeon. Prayer was again
offered, the Apostolic Benediction pro
nounced, and thus closed ihe beautiful
and solemn service's of laying the Corner
Stone of an edifice, which from its de
sign and intent, will bean ornament and
blessing to this community.
The wreck of the Nj inph Xo. 2.
The wreck of this steamer, which ex
ploded one of her boilor's last Thursday
noon while stuck on Nemaha Bar, one
mile below this city, stiil lies aground
where the accident occurred. She was
on the bar when the boiler exploded.
The explosion blew the pilot house and
pilot overboard, when the forward portion
of the cabin deck colapsed.land with the
smoke s.t?cks, fell onto the boiler deck.
The captain, oa the hurricane deck at the
lime was blown up and against the jack
staff, which he grasped and slid 'down
unhurt. One negro man was blown over
board slightly scratched and scalded,
another considerably scalded and another
had his thigh bcaebroke and hip dislo
cated. Those blown overboard were all
rescued. Some have it that the man
blown into the rivr from the deck was
sitting on some pino lumber which was
blown over at the sa onetime, to which he
clung and thus saved his life. Another
provedential escape occurred to a white
manwhovas just beneath the falling
smoke stacks, the lov7er end of which in
its descent, and when within a few in
ches of his head, caught and rested upon
au upright piece of timber. Had it de
scended he would have been mashed.
About 10,000 feet of Pine lumber, for
parties in Omaha, was blown overboard
and lost. The hull of the boat and her
machinery, with the exception of the
boiler, we learn, is all sound. The boat
was insured in ihe Boalman's Insurance
company of Cincinnati.
On ihe 21st a fight occurred in Omaha,
between Jos. Radman and G.P. Collins,
during which Radman siruck Collins over
the head with a piece of flooring. At
which fighting ceased, they jawed each
other nil they got tired, when Collins
went home, lay down and died in a few
hours, the blow having fractured his
skull.
Gov. Brownlow has been chosen by the
Tennessee Legislature as U. S. Senator

strength to the party Congress, and
do credit to the State which cendshim.

men, residents of this county, speaks
very encouragingly of the proposed air
lino read, and says. the men engaged in
the enterprise are wonderfully in ear
nest; that they are only waning the en
gineers report cf the survey to com
mence active operations. Mr. D. says:
4 If the counties through which the road
will pass will do what I think they are
able, I shall have the entire road under
contract for a vigorous work early in the
spring. It will also be my aim to com
mence ai three points at the same time,
viz: This end, your end. and at Brown
ville." Thus it will be" seen thai while
the road is bJing built from the Missis
sippi river westward, it is the design al
so to commence at the Missouri river
land build eastward, and form a junction
with the other end of the road, and also
westward from the Missouri river to Ft.
Kearney, where a junction with .the
Union Pacific road will be made. We
hope the company will meei with no ob
stacles which thoy are unablo to sur
mount and that thexgreat. work will go
surely and satisfactorily forward.

At a meeting of the'board of directors
of the American Bible Society, held
Thursday night, October 17, lbli7, the
following resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, Certain reports have been
put into circulation in this city, and have
found iheir way into the columns of one
of the newspapers, charging ihe Rev. A.
R. Mosher, ageni of the American Bi
ble Society, with having violated all
moral and religious propriety, while dis
tributing the bible iu the city, ai certain
houses of ill-fame, and
Whereas, Said Mosher was arrested
for such conduct, upon the affidavit of
one of ihe inmates of one of said houses,
but upon appearing at court was discharg
ed by the prosecuting attorney without
trial, on ihe ground that he couki not be
convicted of the charge made
against
him. ' -
Whereas, Said Mosher has demanded
an investigation of the ground of said
charges by this committee, and
Whereas, After patient and diligent
inquiry by the members of the commit
tee, they find that such charges against
him have no other source of foundation
than the inccnsisteni stories of public
prostitutes themselves ; and
Whereas, Certain reports have been
made in regard to the applicaiion of
money raised in this community by said
Mosher, the undersigned committee.fiud
upon examination of the treasurer's
books, thai Mr. Mosher has faithfully
accounted for all ; moneys collected by
him in this city.
Resolved. '1 hat in the opinion of this
committee, said charges are utterly false
and ma!ic;ous, and wete designated to
injure the cause cf morality and relig
ion ; by destroying the character and
influence of the agent cf the Bible So
ciety. Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions, with the affidavit of Mr. Mo
sher attesting his innocence be f urnished
tLe press of the city for publication.

The Colorado Election.
We have been favored with an offi
cial ab.-tract of the late election returns
ef Colorado, as signed by ihe board ol
canvassers. As false reports have been
circulated in regard to the result of this
election, we give a summary of the ta
ble furnished us. The council will stand
eight Republicans, four Democrats and
o:ie independent Republican. The
House will stand fifteen Republicans,
nine Democrats and two independent
Republicans. The total popular vote is
8349, against 6906 last year, when a
delegate to Congress was elected. An
analysis of this vote shows ihe following
result on councilmen : Republican 44-5S;
Democratic 4046 ; independent Repub
lican 467; scattering 3S1. The straight
Republican majority over the Demo
crats is 412, and the combined, vote of
straight and independent Republicans
gives a majority of S76 over the Democ
racy, "an increase of 768 over last year,
when Chlcott's. majority over Hunt was
only ICS.
Thus Colorado is thoroughly Republi
can. The issue of ihe election says
the Denver News "turned almost en
tirely on national politics, and ihe ex-1
hibit as made in these official returns is
all that is needed to place Colorado on
the side of Congress and freedom. Amid
the present apparent reaction of the
times, the party in Colorado has evry
reason to take courage and stand firm.
Our majority, in proportion to the vote
cast, shows Colorado ?b be as sirongly
Republican as almost any State in th,e
Union.' Jtlo. Democrat, 23J

Old Question Revived.
The Synod of New York connected
with ihe Did School Presbyterian Church
including the several Presbyteries of
New York and vicinity, is now in jession
at the Central Presbyterian Church, in
Brooklyn (Rev. Dr. Rockwell's.)
The session of the Synod bean on I
Monday evening with a sermon by lie v.
Dr. Davidson, of Huntington, L. I. At
the business session yesterday the call-'
ing cf the roil was proceeded with un-
ul the name cf Professor Eaton was
announced as the representative of the
First Church (Rev. Dr. Van Dyke's )
Objection was made to his reception on
e
the ground ih'H he was one cf ihe per
sons who signed what is kno.vn as the
"Declaration and Testimony." which
was presented by some of the Southern

Majority opposed
The same question will come
nnrther form before the close of
mis i
session of Synod, when a review is made
of the action of the several Presbyte
ries ; for, at the- last mseiing cf ihe
Nassau Presbytery, Professor Eiiion,
who was deputed to represent ihe First
church in that body, was admitted by a
vote of j-even. The Synod. whi:h h ie
higher court, must take cognizance of
this action, and if its deeh-iou should be
the same as that of yesterday, there is
no doubt the case will be carried to the
General assembly.
Arout a year ago the Presbytery of
Nassau took action sustaining tbe course
of the General Assembly, but their
more recent decisions places th-Mii iu a
position of antagonism to that bedy.
The General Assembly declared that
any church court higher than the session
which should admit to its deliberations
any signer of ihe "Declaration and Tes
timony, " would be thereby desrled.
Il is remarked that those persons who
pf-rsist in their efforts to drag the Old
School Church back to its pro-slavery
position, and wh-j oppose the action of
the General Assembly, were not among
the foremost iu showing thir loyalty to
the Government during the dark hours
of the late rebellion. -.. Y. Post.
Keeping Sweet Potatoes
My method of keeping sweet potatoes
is to air dry sand by preading it on
boards or aboard walk; dig the potatoes
and pick them in the afternoon, before
the dew falls, 'throwing out all. the
bruised ones-. I pack the:n in fbur bar
rel a Coat of sand then a layer of
potatoes, st that the sand would rill all
interstices. If tbu saud is too dry, as
when dried in a kiln, il will .-hrivel the
potatoes. I had a mom cn ihe south side
of the dining room that 1 kepr the poia
tces in af ter packing them ia the barred?.
The hen t from the coil stove in the di
ning roon. was all that was civeu them,
an;i I did not loose two d zen tubers out
of eight barrels; I have round them as
sound m the sand as when dug in the
fall. The outside nauipnes.s should be
wtll dritd olf of. the pjiato.-s. I felt
myself ' a'nnly pail. for the treat thy
gave ihroigh ilu winter. Cold ia 1 rains,
on cold, dump sand makes the po a oes
lose their sweetness. J'ew Jersey Cor.

Mr. Hunt, in his vo!um3 on the
"Fourth Estate." ihus sketches the pe
culiar duties of a journalist :
"The men who once becomes a journ
alist must hid farewell to mental rest or
mental leisure. If he fulfills his duties
truthfully, his attention, must ever be
awake to what is passing in the world
and his whole mind must be devoted to
the instant c xamination and discussion,
and record of current events. He has
little lime for literary idleness with
such literary l.ibors on his shoulders.
He has no days to spend on catalogues
or in dreamy discursive researches in
public libraries. He ha3 no months to
devote o the exhaustion of any one
theme. What he has to deal with must
be taken up at a moment's notice, be
examined, lested. and dismissed ai once;
and thus his mind is ever kept occupied
with the mental necessity of the world's
passing hour.5'
