Celebration.
As there appears to be no movement
on foot for a Fourth of July celebration,
the Good Templars of the Brownville
Lodge propose to meet the Good Tem
plars of the county at any convenient
place in the county that may be hereaf
ter determined upon, and have a basket
pick-nick and a social time, interspersed
with euch other exercises as may be
thought interesting. Will the Good
Templars of the county suggest some good
place in the county where we can have
our celebration. We hope to hear offi
cially from each lodge before our 'next
issue, with uch suggestions as they in
their wisdom thill think proper to send
us.
Ratification.
The meeting for the ratification of the
State and National ticket held in Brown
ville cn last Saturday was well attended.
The Republicans are jutulant, and in
dorse the ticket, both Slate and National,
and especially endorse the action of the
delegates from thi State to the Chicago
Convention. Speeches were mod ty
lie welt, Furnas, Rich, Porter, Carson,
Fairlroiher, Dorsey,, Atkinson and
others, and we are glad to inform the
ballance of the State that Republican
ism runs high in Nemaha county. We
are bound that nothing shall stand in the
way of a full, united, and an increased
Republican vote in. the old Banner coun
ty of the State the comming fall. The
names cf Grant and Colfax are echoing
from the city to the rich prairie, and
from the thriving farmers back to the
towns and city. Long may the flag of
cur standard bearers wave.'
"A Good Thing. A Tortralture or
a Nebraska Senator."
Under this caption the Nebraska City
wVoc publishes an article from the Sa
vana (Mo.) Union, of a most scandalous
character, concerning Gen. Thayer, and
which the J"ars endorses with evident
relish by 6tyling it "a good thing," &.c.
This evinces a very low standard cf jour
nalifrn, even for a Democratic paper, on
ihe part of the JVetcs. It proves that it
has failed, and must fail in argument and
manly encounter with the General,
thai to fight the General oa the high
ground of Republicanism, end to urge
objections against his political record,
only ends in hopeless failure ; and that
the only chance to undermind his influ
ence and weaken his hold on the people,
is to indulge in low, scurrulous flings at
his personal character and private stand
ing in society.' And knowing not where
to begin, it has at last gratified its am
bition by fishing up from the lowest
sheet in Missouri the article refered to.
A Nebraska paper should have been the
last to give publicity to such abuse of one
cf its own citizens. Respect for our
State, for her citizens, for the reputation
cf tha press, and for the fraternity,
thould have precluded the publication of
euch an article in Nebraska. No wonder
then that the JVhcs is not ashamed to
proclaim against moral ideas, and moral
principles.

Professor Wilson's lecture on last
Monday evening Avas an intellectual treat
of grand idt-ns. It was a tcieutific lec
irre upon the ir.fluences which control
the growth, development and maturity of
organic matter, and their 8gency in the
formation cf the framework of man, and
their consequent pewer over the mental
and physical developments of the animal
kingdom. We look upon his spiritual
manifestations as a failuie ; still there is
mar.y a kernel cf good wheal among the
much ihat he says. He returns again
next Saturday to finish the course of
lectures
We call ihe attention of the Superin
tendents of our several Sunday Schools
to the following proposition taken from
the Republican of the 2Sth ult. It is a
very generous offer on the part of the
railrcad company, and cne that will im
mensely delight the children. Immedi
ate action is necessary.
Sae3ath .School Pic Nic. The Ne
braska City Press states tt&t a proposi
tion has been made by the Sabbath
Schools of Omaha and-' Council Bluffs to
meet the schools of Nebraska City,
Brownville, and all points near, at Bjrt
lett, Iowa, between this "time and the
fourth of July, to have a general Union
Sunday School pic-nic. The Superin
tendent of Council B!uff and St. Joseph
railrcad has promised the excursion shall
cost but a tntle, and that they will do all
they can to make it as pleasant as possi
ble. The Press on the Chicago Nomin
ations. Of the Chicago nominations the Nev
York Herald says :
Grant is the strongest man in his party,
and Colfax is the most popular man of
his parly, and the Republican ticket is a
strong cne.
The Times says the people have faith
in Grant and the selection of Colfax is
evidently judicious.
The World says the ticket would have
been strong five months ago now it is
completely western, and wholly radical.
Grant is without popular qualities. A
succeesf'il millitary career hides a mult
itude of defects.
Coifax is perhaps the most popular
man in his pariy. On the whole, the
ticket is not a strong one.
The ' Tribune - predicts that Grant's
electoral and popular majorities will ex
ceed those of .Lincoln over IIr.CleIli
He will receive more votes from recon
structed rebels than any other man in
ihe country. Under, the auspices 'of
Grant and Colfax, our country is destined
to achieve a speedy restoration to former
prosperity, and more than it3 former
fraternity. -- -

The Mayor's Powers.
The decision of Judge Lake last
Wednessday iu the case of Duval and
Brown, to the effect that the Mayor of
a city could not exercise judicial powers
under the constitution of the State, is
the occasion of a good deal of excitement
among the legal and judicial fraternity.
The decision i based, on eection 1 of
tbe article of the constitution entitletH
"Judiciary.", which eay that "the judicial
power cf the State shall be vested in a
supreme court, district courts, justice of
the peace, 6uch inferior courts as the
legislature may from time to time estab
lish." Under the Territorial organic
act. this power was still further restricted.
That declared that the judicial power
should be vested in a supreme court, dis
trict court?, probate justices and justices
of the peace, and expressly withheld
from the legislature the power to establ
ish oiher inferior courts.
Judge Lake held that the legislature
had never established the Mayor as an
inferior court, and he was therefore not
clothed with any judicial powers. This
decision is very sweeping in its reach,
and it would seem as though its results
will call for a legislative remedy.
At a meeting cf the Irish Republican
Club of Omaha it was Resolved. That
we endorse the nomination of Grakt
and Colfax.
Resolved, That we recognize in Grant,
the tanner, a man from our own midst,
and one who. having felt a poor man's
necessities, knows a poor man's wants,
we are unanimously in favor of Grant,
the poor man's friend and candidate. .
Resolved, That in Coifax we recog
nize the gentleman, the orator, and the
statesman; a man born to lead, and one
who will honor any position that he may
occupy.
Resolved, That we will attend, in a
body, .the mass meeting to be held to
night to ratify the nomination of Grant
and Colfax.
Important Decision. On yesterday,
G. Cuvall and Wm. Brown were brought
before Judge Lake on a writ of habeas
corpus, praying for a discharge from
imprisonment, on a commitment isued
by Mayor Roberts, to answer to the
I charge cf larceny. They were discharg
ed on tne ground mat tne Mayor of Oma
ha is not a judicial officer so much cf
the charter as confers judical power upon
him, being' in conflict with the constitu
tuticn cf the State, and is therefore void.
Col. John DeLany for the prisoners
and Gen. Esrtabrook for State.
The effect of this decision is to release
all the prisoners committed by the May
or, including the chain gang, and we
understand there was great rejoicing
among those gentlemen on its announcement.

Christian Contention for Nebras
ka and Western Iowa. .
To ike Pastors and Brethren of ihe Church
es of Nebraska and Western lovia.
An earnest desire has been expressed,
and two ecclesiastical bodies have re
quested that the Pastors and Brethren of
ihe different Evangelical Churches in
Nebraska and Western Iowa meet to
gather for the purpose of united prayer
to God, and for a free interchange of
opinions and experience in regard to the
various questions of practical Christian
effort.. -
It is hoped' by this means to awaken a
deeper interest among the laity of our
churches; to secure tmre entire conse
cration to ihe Master's service ; to gain
light from the experience of those who
have wrought successfully in Hi3 vine
yard ; and to develop plans for aggress
ive effort adapted to each church and its
individual members:
The examination of any city and coun
ty, of our Slates will reveal the fact that
many cf the people do not hear the gos
pel, while experience shows that they
often hear the "good news" gladly when
it is carried to them by those who love
the Savior.
The various methods of Christian
effort in systematic visitation, neighbor
hood prayer meetings, tract and bible
distribution, open air and lay preaching,
and all other means that may be used to
develop the activity of the church and
carry ihe gospel to those who have it
not, are of such importance that united
prayer and counsel, seem most desirable.
Similar convenu'ons have been held
both East and West, and always with
most happy results.
We, therefore, invite each of the
churches in Nebraska and Western Iowa
to send as delegates, the pastor and two
laymen, to meet in convention at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, the 16;h, 17th and 18;h
of June, nmencicg at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
K. A. Burnell, of Milwaukie, ani
F. G. Ensign, of St. Louis, will be
present with others who have had large
experience in laboring in the vineyard
of our Divine master. -
Brethren - lt n igciUc - wnn
earnest hearts to pray for rind confer
about the welfare of nur common Zion ;
to strengthen and encourage each other ;
to devise plans and adopt measures for
the conversion of our souls and the ad
vancement of the kingdom of our com
mon Lord. " "
Delegates desiring homes at the con
vention are requested to forward their
names as early a3 the 10th of June, to
Rev. G. G. Rice, Council Blusff, Iowa ;
and on their arrival report themselves at
the rooms of the Young Men's Christian

The Presbyterian Old School assembly
reassembles to-day. Dr. Bently, of Ste
vonville, Ohio, presented a report of the
joint committee of the old and new school
branches of the church on the subject of
reunion. These committees were ap
pointed ia 1866. They consisted of 15
members from each body. The report
is signed by all but three members, and
while ihey approve it their signatures
could not be obtained in time. The re
port recommends reunion on the follow
ing basis:
1st. Re-union shall be effected cn the
doctriual . and eclesiastical basis of one
common standard. The Scripture of the
Old and New Testaments shall be ac
knowledged as the inspired word of God
and only infallible rule of faith, and the
practice of the confession of faith shall
continue to be received as the containing
system of doctrine taught in the Holy
Scripture.
2d. All the ministers and churhes
embraced in the two bodies shall be ad
mitted to the same standing in the uni
ted body, which they may hold in their
respective connections up to the consum
mation of the union.
3d The boundaries of the saveral
presbyters and synods shall be adjusted
by the general assembly of the united
church.
4th. The official records of the two
branches of the church shall be held as
making up one history of the church, and
no rule which does not stand approved by
both shill be of any authority until re
established in the united church, except
so far as such rule may effect the rights
of properly.
by the two general assemblies shall be
consolidated and applied for their several
objects as defined by law.
6th. There shall be one set of com
mittee for home and foreign missions and
other religious enterprises of the church.
7ih. As soon as practicable the. gen
eral assembly shall reconstruct and con
solidate the several permanent commit
tees and boards which now belong" to the
two assemblies.
8 h. Publications of ihe board cf pub
lication and of the publication committee
shall continue to be issued at at present,
leaving it to a board of publication of the
united church to revise the issues.
ikh. Those theological-teminaries
that are now under the assemblies con
trol may, if their board cf directors so
elect, be transferred to the care of oue
or more adjacent synods.
10th. It is agreed that Presbyters pos
sess the right to examine ministers ap
plying for admission but be left free to
decide for itself when it shall exercise
the right.
11th. It shall be regarded as the du
ty of all our jndicatories, ministers and
poeple in the united church to study
things which make peace and to guard
against all needless and offensive refer
ences to causes that have divided us.
12th. Terms of re-union, if they are
approved by the General Assemblys of
1S6S shall be handed over to the several
presbyteries under their care, and shall
be of binding force if they aro ratified
by three-forths of the Presbyteries ccn
nected with each branch, of the church
within one year after they have been
submitted for approval. After some dis
cussion it was resolved to take up at
once on discussion and consideration this
plan for reunion and continue discussion
without interruption, the special orders
before made.
