The State Convention. -
In the fall cf 15C6 there was a State
republican convention held in Brownville
wherein each county was represented by
delegates the number cf which was de-.
terrnined by a ratio cf Republican votes,
as shown by the last preceding Territo
rial election. The Central Committee,
in their call for that convention, place
great emphasis upon the fact that Re
publican voters only wero represented:
This is the uniform practice in all State
Repblican conventions. And so far as
we know, it is the practice cf all County
contentions, to give to each ' township or
precinct a representation based-on 'the
Republican vote. But of late, u new
policy has been inaugurated by the 'head
centers of tho party. Democratic votes
must be represented in Republican cent
ventiens. .. That i?, a county that casta
last State election, five hundred Repubc
lican votes-arid one hundred Democrati
votes, has no. larger representation, un
der the present call, than the county that
cast five hundred Democratic votes and
but one hundred Republican votes. Or,
in other words, five hundred votes in the
ne case, has the same and no more rep
resentation as one hundred in the other.
Is this justice ? What inducement has
any county to increase her Republican
vote? So that the Democratic vote in
creases largely in any given county, the
Republican strength in that county, in
a State convention is as well subserved as
though the increase had been on the Re
publican eido.
If the policy of the present Central
Committee is to let the Democratic coun
ties do the nominating, and the Repub
lican counties roll up the majorities, by
which the said nominees are enabled to
assume the honor cf theirrespective offic
es, then it may be good if they can only
make it work.
You will see of what we complain more
fully by an examination of the following
table of a few of our leading
counties :

The first column of figures shows the
rote forTaffe for Congress. The sec
ond shows the representation qs fixed
by the present call. - The third or last
column shows the representation as it
should have been.
As Otoe has seven delegates under
the present call, we conclude that every
eixty-three Republican voters, should be
represented by one delegate in thecom
ing convention. Thi3 being the basis
justice requires that all counties should
be represented on the same basis. Con
sequently the last column shows what
each county above as a matter cf right
should have, and the other shows only
' such as we are permitted to have. We
submit only with the hope that the con
vention will establish a. basis of repre
sentation for all futureconventions, more
in accordance with the spirit of our in-
. stitutions and the good cf the party,

We left our office one day last .week,
and went to Peru on business. Our course
was over what is termed the Telegraph
road. t.Tbe Jac.3 cf the country through
-.which "this'read passes, i3 somewhat ir
regular, as all knd so near the great Mis
souri river is more or less inclined to
be. There are many good farms lying
ca either 'side of this road. And the
large corn fields, good houses, and fine
stock; of all kinds, speak plainly that you
are passing'through a settlement of thrif
ty farmera. A community may well be
proud cf such a population They are
v
TV
the creators rf wealth, and the frequera
and well built school houses on the road,
prove them to be prcrcctera cf Intelli
gence and virtue as well. . We arrived
at Peru in good time, and delivered our
self and horse into the rcssestiou 'and
good keeping of Mr.' Swan and his kind
lady, of the Peru Hotel. After a thor
ough warming and a good dinner, we
aired ourselves ia ' the streets-cf this
thriving town r.nd were heartily wel
comed by the business men. of the place.
Peru was entered,, patented, and re
corded as a town site by Chambers, Nuck
olls, and Frame, in the vear, ,1Sj6.
She has had the ups and downs with the
fluctuating tendency cf ihe commercial
'affairs cf "thVcountry, precisely" similar
io the history cf all enterprises then
projected. In November, 1SG-5, Rev.
H. Eurch, Maj. W, Ekily and D. C. Cole
I called a meeticg.cfnhe citizens in and
around Peru, and laid1 before them the
propriety of "'erecting a seminary build
nz and cf starting a hich or select
school therein. The project received the
approbation of-those .present and many
fathers have since given the' enterprise
their hearty support.. Messrs. 'Daily,
1 Green, Cole, Neal, .Reeder, Majors and
.the liev. Mr. iiurch.have been lirm and
'true friends of the mstituiion, and have
iraisedand expended iri erecrirjg'the buil
ding,. abc;ut"' $13,000. The' trustees of
the project tendered the building and six
ty acre3 cf ..land to the Statalast winter
as a free'gift, on condition that the stale
should endorse thesame, and take it un
uer
their fostering care, as "the State
formal .School at. Fern" - This the
State, through the Legislature,, agreed
f o do, and Tn furtherance cf this agree
ment have expended on the building-the
ill
turtner sum oi tbree thousand dollars
finishing some of the rooms and prepar
ing the balance' of the building for the
plastefV The building is about 40
by SO, "on the ground and ! three stories
high. The first floor has been finished
for school rooms, the second and third sto
ries for reckation rooms, and rooms' for
a
students. And the citizens of the town
are about raising means to purchase a
bell for the Slate, to be placed in the
cupola of the building. There is timber
enough on the sixtj acres on which the
building is situated, to furnish fuel for
the school for all time, if properly cared
or. Too much praise cannot be given
to those who fostered this enterprise,
with such untiring energy and if they
'make it a success, as it undoubtedly will
jbe, now it is in the hands cf the Stale, it
:will be a lasting monument to the enter
prise and public spirit of the good citi
zens of Peru. And should they live as
jlbey give promise of doing for many
years to come, they or their children
will find that they have sown but to reap
;bountifu!Iy, not only of this world's
good?, but of that good feeling and hap-
lpiness known only to those wuo k"now
jtheir duty and do It. They will have
; the consciousness that during their
strength and younger days, they
have hot only added to the material re
sources of their town, county and Staiea
but have been the instruments in the
hands of a beneficent Providence, of ex
tending the intelligence and virtue of
the futre inhabitants of .our new State.
Peru is situated on the Missouri River
eight miles above Brownville, and is the
;second place in size and importance in
Nemaha County. We notice that she
jhas four dry goods stores, two grocery
tores, two drug stores, one hotel, one
grist mill, with three run of burrs, three
jblacksmith shops, one tin shop, and the
usual number of mechanics. There are
two religious societies holding regular
meetings the Protestant Episcopal and
Method Htpicrr
Ihe I. O. of G. T. and the A. F. &
A. M. have each a large and flourishing
membership.
This town was incorporated under the
general laws of the State but a' few
months since, which marks a new era in
its history. Drunkards and dram shops,
be it said to her praise, are unknown
'
within her borders. The surrounding
country ts'well settled up and prosperous
and -were a little mere voun? blood, as
it were, infused tnto her merchants and
traders, and did they fully understand
the value of. judicious advertising, there
would be no better trading point on the
Missouri'River than Peril.
Tiie Atchison end Nebraska City
Railroad.,
Our citizens have thus far been some
what inactive in regard to this enter
prise. We had hoped that, the Council
Bluffs and St. Joe road would hug the
river more closely than they seem inclin
ed to do, and thus render the building of
the AiiN CRR comparatively use
less. It can now be seen that the Council
Bluffs road will not come nearer than
three miles to any portion, cf this coun
ty, and to us, as a means of transpor
tion. at that distance from .the river, it
will be; of little use., So, our .up and
down trade, is per force, compelled to
build up.some other line, and we natu
rally look for the next best enterprise;
finding it in the A .N C ,R it Our
people are going to work ia earnest fall
along the shore," to ascertain the feas
ibility of building the road. ' The route
has been surveyed and pronounced good,
from Atchison, Kansas, to Rulo, in

In company with Messrs. Carson, Hoo

and. Cogswell, we made .on last Thursday
a flying trip Yo Rockport, Missouri, to
attend a Railroad, meeting in the inter-
erest of the M &, M RALR,R.
TheT minutes" cf ihe' meeting, as taken
jrom the Rockport Journal; will te fofcnd
elsewhere in our columns. Many of the
enterprising citizen? of the couniyjvere
present, and seemed, to be wide awake
and ambitious to place their county along
side of her younger sister the county
of Nemaha in prosecuting the . good
work. ,', Atchison county is a rich and
prosperous county,- and by the aid of
swamp land grant and school lands, she
is out of debt acd. has thousands of mo
ney on Jnterest. Her business men
feel a deep interest in this road, and are
bound to see the county foot the bill .nec
essary to grade . the road through their
county. We know that they will suc
ceed for such men as Coi. Thompson Mr
McKUlop and Darfeo do not indorse a
measure and then let it go to protest.
We formed a brief, acquaintance with
the editors cf the Journal, and were as
sured;tbat, the. enterprise has no truer
friends .than they. We are tempted.to
send for the President of the road to
come, to this end of the: Jme, when he
can be revivified with the spirit of pro
crress and success. . Let the work move

We had ths pleasure of spending on
hour or so with B. P. Zuver and his
scholars, a few days sinse. , This school
district is iD the Glen ilcck precinct, and
about ten miles north-west of BrownviJler.
The patrons of this. school speak in high
praise of Mr. - guver, and the scholars
say it is one of their best schools. We
heard his arithmetic class-recite their
lesson, and explain the principles upon
which the Tules were constructed, and
cut of a clasa of twelve young ladies and
gentlemen there was not one failed to
clearly comprehend and fully explain the
rules of their lessons, and to correctly
perform the examples, thereunder.
We are happy to inform the tax payers
of the county, and especially the .non
resident ones, that so far as our obser
vation goes, and va have been to some
pains to inform ourself, that the school
tax is paid for "value received." .
We sloped over night with Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Phipp3nney. T.vo mare ge

This place is situated on a high'and
slightly rolling prairie, about six miles
north-west of Brownville, and is sur
rounded by one of the best cultivated
farming region? in Nebraska. One far
mer, Mr. Joseph Loveless, raised and
marketed upwards of fifteen hundred
bushels of peaches the past season, and
others raised various quantities of peach
es, apples and other fruits. Corn . is
piled up in rail pens on every farm,
fiardly one having less.tbat one thousand,
and from that to three and four thousand
