i Tlic Brovrnvllie Journal.
; The opinion baa been prevalent among
Republicans in this city for some weeks
past, that the Journal would sooner or
later throw off its disguise, ani come
before the public as an organ of the
Democratic party of Nemaha county.
The fact that its proprietors refused to
publish articles written by Stirling Re
publicans for no oiher reason than a fear
of offending leadiDgX)ernocrats, added to
the discovery made on the, day of our
late city election, convinced many that
the rumors as to its political tendencies
were not "without foundation.
If more is wanting to confirm the public
that there is a willingness on the part of
the Journal men to espouse the cause nf
the Democracy, it will he found in the
fact that none are more zealous and per
sistant in finding fault with Republicans,
maligning their motives and misconstru
ing their action in convention, thanthej'.
In its issue of the 15th inst. it discourses,
with raueh feeliDg, upon the abstract
iloroDosition of the imDolicv of conventions
I . - i
Hbeircr controled by "cliques or ring's, "
very lucidly conclude. as follows;
We hold that they are the proper per
son3 to select candidates through their
representatives, and not the candidates
or aspirants in that direction." It has
been suggested that the above quotation
has a meaning not diicernable on the face
of it, and for this reason we leave it
without comment. ' .
It also charges that the delegates at
the late county convention neither re
flected their own will, nor the will of the
people, in "refusing to instruct the dele
gates to the State convention, to vote fgr
ceruia men for office jand it finally
winds up its leading editorial by virtually
saying that there is so much, dishonesty
and chicanery among Republicans that
they need watching. This may be the
principle upon which, the- Journ al men
act, but for gentlemen with whom the
proprietors cf the Advertiser office are
in the habit of associating a more chris
tian and enlightened code of morals is
enforced that of considering our co
laborers in the field of politics honest and
upright in their intercourse with each
other, and as representatives of the
people, until convinced to the contrary by
undoubted evidence. We hope the Re
publican party will move on from victory
to victory, notwithstanding the defection
of the Journal men ; and we suggest to
the editor of that paper the propriety of
working in harmony with the expressed
and known will of Republicans so long as
it continues to unfurl the banner of Re
publicanism, v
, The delegates to our late Republican
county convention were composed of the.
true and tried men of tb. party in" this
county, and in. their behalf we assert, the
editor, cf the Journal to the. contrary
notwithstanding, that they are "men over i
whom "rings" and "cliques' have no
influence. ' They were not mere cats
paws, tools or dummies, as the Journal
editor would have its readers suppose,
but men of standing, influence and posi
tion in society and m.the party, capable
of thinking and acting upon their own
judgment, and conviction of right and
wrong ;' zxx such as" the Journal repre
sents "aro so common in the Eastern
States."
We are pained lo see this fling in a
pretended Republican paper at the rep
resentative men of the party. Its whole
tendency is to divide rather than barmonr
ize, and we deplore the spirit that im
pels any one to throw a firebrand in our
midst at this inoportune moment.
Cass Conntj.
The Hon. T. M. Marquette, of Platts
mouth, Cass county, visited this city the
present week for the purpose of trans
acting some legal business which had
been entrusted to his care by Lawyer
Thomas, and ve improved the occasion
to ascertain what his prospects were for
a nomination for Congress. He appears
to think his chances are good. , He does
not claim any personal superiority over
Taffe, buf rests his claims wholly on Cass
county. But unfortunately Cass county
i Hopelessly. Republican, and is likely to
remain so; and the policy Las been and
is, to throw all patronage into counties
that are hopelessly Democratic. ; For thit
reason we were induced to the belief
that Mr. Marquette and Cass county
were reckoning without their host.
Cass county is the only county on the
river but what has something from either
the Stale or General Government. The
other counties have more or less as they
are more or less Democratic. Now,
tnis may be good policy, but we are not.
so convinced, and. until we are we hope
we may be excused in our opposition tot
it. The interest of our county, its rail
road enterprises, its growth, influence
and prosperity, as well as those of. Cass
and every other Republican county are
compromised by such a policy, and it
rnust.be changed. These counties are
expected to roll up large Republican
majorities at every election, and then are
mildly, "or more -or less sternly rebuked
if ihey don't forever after keep quiet and
hold their peace. ' Are such things to be
endured ?..- If they. are, we pray for more
meekness than we now have any.knowl
edge of possessing.

Pawnee City. t
A short time sinca we made our sec
ond visit to this growing place, and while
there noted some facts which we will lay
before our readers for their considera
tion. We took a seat with Governor Butler
m his carriage, and were driven a few
miles south of this place to a farm where
the Governor is having fed one hundred
head of cattle. He hires a man to feed
the cattle at the rate of $-10 per. month,
or $150 for the winter.
Thi is an expense per ox of aboat $ 1 50
He feeds one ton of hay per ho-d 2 50
Lie feodi seventy bushels of corn per head, at
40 cts per bushal 23 iO
Hi oxen averaged In the full 1,250 lb at i
ou per Jb 55 2S
Average eostper ox ia the spring S3 25-
The Governor is now offered seven and
aquartercts. per pound forhiscattle at the
general average of .1,500 pounds per
head, or $10S,25. This is a net gain of
$20 per head, or $2,000 on the drove.
In this statement we make no estimate
of the growth of hogs which may be
kept in a yard where such cattle are being
fed. The Governor has now about six
hundred head of cattle cn hand.
Messrs. Curtis & Peavy are feeding
one hundred and tvyeniy head of cattle
and one hundred hogs at Pawnee City,
but I failed to get their figures. John
Brady. is feeding three hundred head of
cattle a few miles to the south east of
Pawnee City ; and a few miles north
east of 'Pawnee "City, in' Richardson
county, J. E. Crow and Mr. Willheight
are also feeding'over one hundred head
of cattle. .
From any one of these points .it is
forty miles to the river, and corn must
ba hauled this distance ort fed on the
farm; and it ia a note-worthy fact that
corn sells in this vicinity for forty cents
per bushel, the same as at the river, and
for no other reason than the demand
thus created by stock feeders.'
We wish to ask the farmers cf this
county to investigate these facts." Are
not the grain dealers making more mon
ey than the grain growers? It strikes
us that the best gulches are passed over
by the farmer that they merely remove
non-paying dirt, and those who follow
after reap all the advantages. Now,
this is not economy it is not the part of
wisdom. , We prefer to' see the laboring
producer reap -all the profits of his labor
and dilligence. This system of market
ing grain' we'are satisfied is all wrong,
and farmers should for their own protec
tion so sptematize and economise their
labor as to hold the lion's share them
selves. We are satisfied that it can be
and ought to be done.
'We hope and' trust that such men as
Gov. Butler, Curtis, Pen vy,' Crow and
Brady are but the forerunners of a host
of others who are determined ' to make
the most of their advantages.

State Xorinal School-Peru.
It was our good fortune to attesd the examina
tion and closing ceremonies of the State Normal
School at Peru on th3 11th and 15th inst,, and
we wish now to Uy before our readtrs eome fewJ
notes taten on tne occasion.
Don. O. TV Uewett of Brownville, graduate of
Bowdoin College, Maine, and Col. C. II. Irih cf the
Preti were appointed by the State as examiners.
llr. Irish was not pressent. The- method of con
ducting the exerci?cs consisted of general reviews
of the principles passed over by the cLss during the
term and an explanation of the general method cf
instruction w-hicn was then followed by genera1 quas
tions to the elass by Julgo 1ewett. The Arithme
tio class of llrs. McKenzio's department wis Crst
heaid, extending so fur as to percentage. We heard
but a small part of this recitation.
Mrs. McKenzio's Reading and Spelling class came
next. The Heading lesson was asfigned the day
previous, The difficult words of the lesson were
noted and each scholar was require 1 to be prepare at
reoltation, when called for, to arise and give tho def
inition ar.d etymology ot these word. Every schol
ar Wat required to epell as well by the Phonetic me
thod as by the usual way cf naming each letter ia
the word.
The Spelling lesson was short. Each scholar was
required to write a short composition which should
contain all the worlj of the spelling lesson,
crsome assigned number cf them. At the recita
tion their compositions are read and criticised.
Mr. McKenzie's Grammar class was then called
and were rigidly examined in tho anahuis cf sen
tences by diagrams on the bcnrd,and in tho gram
matical relation of the words of the diagram.
The advanced Spelling cla.s were next ca'i3.
The lesson e'electtd was pronounced by one of the
class. The other members wrote the words cn a
slate, dividing the some into syllables, marking the
accented Bjll'able, atd giving the vowel the mark
representing the proper sound. This finished, the
slates were exchanged, and as the correct spelling,
division of leviable?, and vowel sounds were given
Mr. A;haTir-g B's siate, was requested to say wheth
er B had made a mistake in spelling, in dividing in
to 'syllables, or in giving sounds of vowels. Oat
of a difficult lesson of thirty words, but two. or three
mistakes were made and they unimportant.
A short lesson was then reai by the advanced
reading c!a?. Much time and pains were taken in
getting at the sense of tho author and giving the
etymology of words. They were drillel in the
stress, po-s-fr, and pitch of voice; in emphasia and
itfiectiofi" of the voice.'" '
A PiJy?'.i, orUalisthenlo exiroTse'came next
which was performed with military precision, and
gave much sst aud animation to the school.
'Kuxtcamea thorough examination of the Ad
vacced Arithmetic cla,from per centage,on through
the book, and of the Advanced Geograpny class,
the result of which was alike creditable t teacher
and scholar. Thus ended the pragraiama of the
14th.. ; : - .
A kwttre. was then announced for the evening by
Judge Dewttt. .The storm through the day did not
abate until late in the evening, still a respectable
audience assembled to hear the lecture, which was
wetl written, and delivered in the Judge's nappiest
style. The subject was "The Necessity for a More
General and Complete ' Education." And allow me
here to "suggest the prepriety cf requesting the
Judge to-deliver the same before the !igh School in
Brownville, ome evening soon.
Tbalihetorio class was the first to recite the
next morning. The arguments for the two theo
ries the Jivine and the Conventional of accoun
ting fcr the origin of Language, and the Ideograph
ic, verbal, syllabic, and tho alphabetical, and now
the phonetio method of writing language, were
subjects of discussion, and we were welT pleased
with the ea?eand"with the cleat understanding of
the subject, which Was eyvaeed on the part of' the
class during the recitation, - 1
The Advanced Grammar Class was called which
was drilled in analysis and parsing, and many dif .
ficult word and sentences were disposed of to the
atisfaction of all present. :
And " last -came" the Teacher's ela es, , which wag
composed of 13 pupils, and they ware thoroughly ex
amined in all the arts and bett methods or teach
ing and in the fundamental principles .taught in
our jDublic schools, and none of them "were fpand
wintirg" in all that . appertains to 'goo t eachers.
Hiss Alie Myers thea read ,th critic's report of

well written and well read. .'
Miss IIlinoi3e Tate sabject"Books" plainly and-
connectedly set forth her ideas and retul well.
Oration by Albert NcaJ, subject "Nebraska" lie
speaks a little too fast, has the elements of a good
speaker. The composition was good, and the facts
true.
James Williams, subject "Education.? H
speaks with ease and well. The sounds of some cf
the letters were not given as round andfu!l as they
ought to - have been . This, however, was owing to
a constitutional impediment which rauoh practice
will overcome.
Annie Swan, subject "Advantage of Education"
very clear in style aud well read.
Louisa Burns, subject 4,IIome" very good and well
read.- - -
Jchn Swan, Selected Oration. Performance well.
E. W. Tickham, subject "Every Man the Archi

Miss Lottie Giles read the paper loud, distinct
and well. It was mad3 up of many well written
pieces. The article, 'Boarding around," describes
an epesode in the l.ife of many a teacher.
W. E. Majors, ''Circumstances Never make the
Man," well spoken and well written, bu' he failed
to convince us of the truth of his position in all
respects.
Emma Cowlcs "Geography," graph ioally written

Miss Jane Richardson, "Hope,". As well compos

The school was then addressed by Prof. Moore, of
the Brownville High School, and rrofFepsor Mc
Kenzie. After which the Professor raad the stand
ing of each scholar; when the esercises closed by
singing ' Marching through Oeorgia."
Wo have attended the examination cf many a
select; aeademie or normal school,-but none where
the standard of advancement was so ; uniform and so
high. What the several classes pretended to have
passed over during the term, they knew thorough
ly. It is not the rapid advancement so muoh as the
thoroughness of drill (hat commends the school.
What they learn one term does not have to be r -
learned the next. tfi-class is prepared at the end
of a term to take an advanced position at the next
ommencemen$.
The students, who attended at thaclosoof the
