The Republican Club meets to-night
ut Mcpherson's new hall. It will be
iwidressed by CoL S. M. Rich. Gener
al attendance is invited.
The Commonwc-alth Is now an eight
colum paper, very ably edited but
mohtly devoted to advertising. It de
votes eight of its thirty-two colums to
reading matter, and more ad's are
wanted.
A Republican Club was organized
fitTeeumseh on lat Tuesday evening.
. CoL Rich of Brown ville addressed the
Club. The Republicans are enthusi
astic for Grant and Colfax. They are
determined to show great gains the
c-oming election for the Republican
Ticket.
On last Saturday we attended the
lecture delivered before the Medical
students by W. A. Arnold, M. D., Pro
fessor of Pathology, the practice of
medicine and hygiene, of the Brown
ville University. We were pleased to
find the Professor po Mell at home and
t-o soundly booked up in his calling.
The lecture was clearly and forcibly
delivered to an attentive class of stu
dents. It was preceeded by a close
questioning of t he class upon the points
of the previous lecture. "We were well
tatified with the afternoon's enter
tainment, and mean to repeat the visit
tun often as time and opportunity will
lrmit.
The Blue Valley Jlccord informs us
tliat the proosition had. under con
fideration by the County Commis
woners of Gage County, to vote a tax
of $1500, to aid in payment of a per-1
mancnt survey of the B. Ft. Iv. & P.
R. R., has been indefinitely post
oned. This leaves the way clear for
the Company to select the best route
in making its survey. Though the
financial Agent accomplished little or
nothing in a financial point of view
for the company in his prospecting
tour, still we understand that the
company is prepared to commence the
permanent survey, and that the En
gineer and his corps will soon be in
the field and at work.
The Great Democracy in the plat
form "arraign the Republican party
for establishing a system of spies and
official espionage to which no consti
tutional monarchy of Europe would
now dare resort."
That is a big sounding phrase, but
the public mind finds itself searching
in vain to find the facts to support the
platform. We now wonder if they did
not forsee the fact that that great
Cormopolitan Democratic paper the
New York TI "orld had already' made
arrangements to send a spy upon the
track of Gen. Grant with instructions
"to report nothing in his favor," and
determined while assembled to
place their seal of condemnation upon
kucIi inexplicable meanness. If they
did, we will overlook the little inad
vertency of arranging the Republican
party therefor, instead of one of their
own great con t ruling organs.
We have received No. 2, Vol. 1, of
the Blue Valley Record, published
weekly by Messes. Howard and Nel
ion, at Beatrice, Gage County, Neb.
We are unable to ascertain its politi
cal status. The growing interests of
the' Valley of the Big Blue river de
mands a wide-awake and thorough
going advocate. And we hope the
Record will prove equal to the emer
gency. The river itself is one of our
best and most rapidly flowing streams
pure and clcartand it drains one of the
richest agricultural valleys of the west
counting already Its population by
the thousand, and will at no distant
day, add its ten thousands. A paper
will be well sustained while it wisely
and truthfully reflects the intelligence
of the people of this valley whose
Editor truly comprehends the capac
ity of the soil, the salubrity of the
climate, and the latent propelling force
of its abundant water-powers, and
fosters their development. We hope
to see the Record prosper, as we firmly
believe that a good paper is second to
no other agency in developing the ca-
pacities of a good country.
Ex-Gov. Wise, of Virginia, and Ex
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, were
at the New York Convention, where
they met the Democracy from all sec
tions, and had a free interchange of
views upon the great issues of the day.
On their return they were invited to
make epeaches in Richmond to their
Democratic brethren, illustrating the
situation.
Gov. Vance was enthusiastic over
the ticket. He most cordially sup
orted "Seymour and Blair, on the
ground that the confederacy would
win by their election what they fought
for in the rebellion;" and Gov. Wise
"would support Blair became he
promised revolution."
These men were confidently explain
ing td their friends the undercurent of
the Democratic sentiment In that con
vention. They virtually say we "re
solved that slavery was abolished by
the action of war," and "talked loy
alty In order to retain the loyal ele
ment of the party in the ranks ;" but
"they mean revolution" "they mean
that we shall gain what we fought for
in the rebellion."
We appeal to those loyal Democrats
who are striving to hold on to both
the Democratic party and the Gov
ernment, if they are willing, on the
present "vicissitudes," to be " di
rected" by the Democracy into revo
lution. Either you, or Wise. Vance,
and others, are being wofully deceived.

George II. Fendleton made a speach
at Grafton recently, wherein he says
that " In every vicisitudeof our his
tory the Democratic, party has ap
peared to direct us with its wisdom,
and to extricate us by its courage."
If he alludes to the vicissitudes attend
ing the close of Buchanan's adminis
tration, when the Democratic party
led one half of our country into rebel
lion, and to those of July, 1863, where
by it is directing us into another rev
olution, then we will admit so far the
correctness of his position. But that
it has ever "extricated us by its cour
age," needs further elucidation. We
were extricated from the result of "its
direction," in the first instance by the
statesmenship of a patriotic Congress
and President, and by the valor and
genius of our great commander and
his soldiers; and in this late "vicis
situde" we will be warned by its for
mer incapacity, and not allow it to
"direct" us, as it proposes, into a
fresh revolution or civil war. Not
much, Messrs. Pendleton & Co., after
November next.
Already there are quarrels as to who
shall belong to Seymour's Cabinet.
The Democrats might as well discuss
this question during the Summer, as
there will be no necessity for discus
sing it after November. The Indian
apolis Herald insists that Pendleton
and Hendricks should both go into
the Cabinet. The Tammany organ
disposes of the claims of those two
gentlemen in the following manner:
"Mr. Pendleton, we presume, will
be offered the Treasury Department:
thi3 would be fit and proper. But
Gov. Seymour would owe nothing to
Hendricks ; while there is a Western
statesman of eminent position, of na
tional renown, toward whom the
hearts of all sound Democrats in
stinctively turn, and to whose sagac
ity, courage, and eloquence Gov. Sey
mour is more indebted than to that of
any other, or indeed, all other men.
We need not say that we refer to the
Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham.
Through his foresight, tact, and pluck,
the nomination was conferred upon
our distinguished fellow-citizens. In
constructing his Cabinet, we doubt
not he will generously recognize the
fact that the first place in it is due to
Mr. Vallandigham. His appointment
as Secretary of State would be ex
tremely popular in the West and in
the South, and would be nailed wun
enthusiasm by Positive Democrats all
over the country. It would be no ob
jection to his election that this would
place in tne cabinet two memDers
from one State. This has been done
before; and even now New York has
two representatives in the Cabinet.
Hendricks, of course, will be brushed
aside ; and if either of the great states
men of Ohio is to be ignored, it must
be Pendleton, and not Vallandigham."
The Journal and Messenger, Macon,
Georgia, an old-fashioned Rebel organ,
thus hail3 the nomination of Horatio
Seymour :
"The nomination of Horatio Sey
mour of New York, by the Democrat
ic National Convention, was received
here with the utmost satisfaction. He
requires no introduction to our readers.
A statesman of eminent ability, a
States' Rights Democrat, a firm, true
and unflinching advocate of the old
Constitution, he will rally to his stan
dard every patriot in the land. Du
ring the late war, when every princi
ple of the Constitution was being
violated by the Lincoln Administra
ton, Seymour's voice was heard high
above the clangor of arms in defense
of that instrument."
Having thus shown why it does
support Seymour, The Journal and
Messenger gives its reasons for oppo
sing as follows:
"The people of the South need no
appeal. They have but one friend in
this contest. Grant has overrun and
devastated their fields and butchered
their children. He has been the mili
tary executive officer of that Congress
which has loaded us with chains, over
ridden all our laws, filled dungeons
with our citizens, elected strolling
vagabonds to our offices, and filled the
cup of our woes to overflowing. No
friend of the South, no friend of his
country, can vote for this military ty
rant." "On all but the financial question,"
says the New York Times, "the Dem
ocratic party is janus-faced:" here "it
is honest in its dishonesty." But the
construction put by the New York
World on the financial part of the
platform is the exact opposite of that
in which the New York Times and its
Chicago namesake agree. The World
italicising the words, says: "The
Democratic party is pledged -by the
ulafform to appreciate the greenbacks
to var and use them for the payment of
- ... via 1 1 A i . .
the public ClCOl wmcn is not vy zjrpren
provisions of the law due in coin.1'
And so say Chase, the would-be nom
inee, and Seymour, the actual candid
ate. But the Chicago Times declares,
in its New York correspondence, that
the platform is "emphatically green
back," and that the minority in the
committee who "were in favor of
paying the bonds in gold yielded
gracefully;" and in its editorial col
umns that "the platform says thefivc
twenty bonds ouaht to be redeemed in
greenbacks, and -that the work of re
demption ovgnt to oc commenveu
immediately."
Vallandiqiiam seconded the nom
ination of Seymour with a moving
Thpsn turn rrreftt flrOStle8 of
the Democracy illustrate the real Dav
id and Johnathon affection, in tneir
nolitieal death they will not be divi

For tine Advertiser.
Troubles iviili Hired Help,
Mr. Editor .The whole Advertiser
outfit belnz "Heads of Families,"
have experimental knowledge of the
vexatious features surrounding "hired
a-Havs. when you are
looking after a girl to do housework,
she want3 to know how many you
have in family ; how many evenings
eafh week she can hare use of the
parlor, to entertain Iier company;
how many afternoons she can have to
call in her friends ; can she eat at the
"first table;" she will not wash for
young ladies, or young children, nor
make a fire in the kitchen stove.
There would be no more unreasona
bleness in demanding a share in the
family couch than in some of the fore
going. Gail Hamilton, one of Go
dey's Lady's Book's most gifted con
tributors, has been writing a book,
treating of the ills and burthens fe
male flesh is heir to, and on this very
subject has a very sensible paragraph.
She says: "I admit that there are
serious drawbacks to household service
some drawbacks of an honest, self
respect ; some of a foolish, self-respect
respect calling itself pride. It is
often said, that if a woman could be
taken into a family on a footing of
equality meaning chiefly, I find, if
she could sit at the table there would
be less reluctance to domestic service
Now any one ought to see that the
family tabje is xcz'j often the only
place where the familyftre all togeth
er, and. any stranger's presence des
troys the confidence and freedom that
makes the charm of family life. The
family do not object to the servant's
presence necessarily because she is not
equal to themselves, but because she
is not one of themselves. They are
quite right. Family seclusion can
scarcely be too sacredly guarded, and
the woman who wishes to encroach
upon it who is so blind that she can
not see that there Is anything to be
encroached upon shows by that token
her unfitness to share, it. There is,
too, much, less danger of clashing
when mistress and maid have their
orbit or different places. Duties are
far more clearly defined, and relations
for less complicated."

The total eclipse of the sun, which
is to take place on the 18th of August
next, will present such a long dura
tion of darkness, that astronomers
are anticipating it with unusual inter
est. From near Aden the central line
of the eclipse extends to the southern
cost of New Guinea, crossing Hindo-
stan, the Bay of Bengal, the May-
layan peninsula, and the gulf of biam
on the way: and all certain places on
the line the duration of total darkness
will be at 6:40, At the date in quest
ion the moon will not be more than
six hours from its perigree; a two
fold condition which increase the ap
parent diameter of the moon, and
shows the apparent diameter of the
sun, nearly at the smallest. Hence
the prolonged darkness. Such a chance
occurs but rarely and we cannot won
der that a strong desire exists to make
the most of it in an endeavor to solve
certain highly important questions in
physical science. Unluckily, the
southwest monsoon will be at full
blast on the 10th of August, which,
with its heavy clouds, will render
observation either uncertain or im
possible, excepting the eastern side of
the mountain ranges.

"I don't suppose that 3'ou ever hear
from this far off northwest corner of
the State, where corn and cottonwood
grow out of sight. The prospects for
crops of all kinds are better in this
county than ever before. It would
do an editor's soul good to look over
the yellow wheat and green corn
fields. Cora grows on the Missouri
bottom, or has this summer, six feet

ages will yield 75 bushels per acre.
Omnipotence opens his watery hand

The New Yorkers prevented the
nomination of Pendleton, and the
Ohio men have paid them for it by
nominating Seymour. Pendleton
was beaten in the Convention and
Seymour will be slaughtered at the
polls. Tit for tat is still the law

The Democracy respects precedents.
It put McClellan with his war letter

BURNING
OF THE NEW YORK
COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM
BY HIS "FRIENDS" OF THE
NEW YOlUv CITY MOB!
The Indians last week commenced
their usual summer depredations on
Little Blue, Rose Creek and Big San
dy. Many of the settlers there re
moved their families on short notice,
while others of less experience and
discretion, or more courage announce
their intention to "fight it out on that
line," and arms and amunitions are
now being sent out from this city to
assist them in their laudable deter
mination. Messrs. Marks, Brown, Jenkins,
and others, self-constituted commit
tee, waited on Gov. Butler last week
to obtain assistance, and have suc
ceeded in having one hundred U. S.
Cavalry posted on the head of Rose
creek and near Big Sandy in portions
to afford them protection, and the
Gov. has also authorized Capt. Brown
to raise a company of 50 minute men
to assist in keeping the dark complec
ted republicans in order. There dep
redations have so far been confined to
stealing stock &c, but as all past ex
perience shows, white scalps would
soon be included in their list of plun
der if they were allowed to go on un
checked. With the encouragement
received from the State .authorities,
the settlers have determined to remain
there like men "who know their
rights, and knowing dare maintain."
AV6. City News.
The despatches of the last Chicago
Tribune state that Commissioner Wil
son, of the General Land Office, has
caused to be examined and adjusted
the accounts between the United
States and the State of Kansas, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Oregon, for the five per cent fund ac
cruing to these States upon the net
proceeds of the sale of public lands
within their limits during the year
1S67. The balance due to said States
on the 31st of December, 1897, are:
Minnesota, $271,079: Kansas, $25,576;
Oregon, $.552,525; Wisconsin, $019,068;
Michigan, $1,055, 2S1 ; and Nebraska,
$1,090,649.
It seems to us that the figures for
Nebraska are a little too high. We
hope not, however. Will our repre
sentatives in Congress take the trouble
to make the proper inquiries, and ob
tain for us tne exact figures for Ne
braska, and oblige their constituency
in the whole State, who have a lively
interest in this matter?
One million dollars will run our
State government several years.
Gov. Seymour is perhaps the ablest
man in the Democrat party. Had he
not been a partisan, he might have
been a statesman ; but his training has
been in that corrupt and selfish school
of politicians that has disgraced New
York for a quarter of a century. He is
professedly opposed to the repudiation
of the national debt ; but he mounts
with cheerfulness a repudiation plat
form, and gratifies his ambition by the
sacrifice of his most earnestly declared
personal and political convictions.
Frank P. Blair reminds us of that
mortal angel who went up in a balloon
and landed in the bottom of a well.
His military record, as he now stands,
will not give him a true soldier. His
E resent political position, so defined
y his letter, alarms every man with
a family and a home in the country.
He seeks office for the purpose of in
augurating civil war.

Does the 'Democratic party mean
revolution? Undoubtedly it does;
else why nominate a candidate for
Vice President who says : "It is the
duty of the President elect to declare
these reconstruction acts null and
void ; compel the army to undo its
usurpations at the South ; disperse the
carpet-bag State governments ; allow
the white people to reorganize their
own governments," etc. If this does
not lead directly to revolution and
anarchy, then to what does it lead ?

DRY GOODS MARKET.
Office Chicago Journal of Gmmsrce,
Wednesday evening, July 15. - J
Our jobbers report a very fair trade
for the season, and prices rule firm
and advancing. Brown Sheetings are
ilc higher for many leading makes.
Bleached Sheetings are steady. Den
ims are 1c higher for Haymaker, and
York's Brown Drills are jc higher for
most makes. New styles of prints are
now opened at higher rates, selling at
14c for standards. The new styles are
generally very handsome, and some of
them quite unique. Carpetings have
advanced 5c per yard for most grades,
and are firm at the advance with a
good demand. At the close the mar
ket for Raw Cotton rules dull and
heavy, with sales of Middling Up
lands at 32c.
The New York Chronicle gives the
following comparison of prices for the
years 1867 and 1868, and is one of the
principal arguments adduced in sup
port ot the advance In prices :
