A'o. I, Vol. 14. We this week send to our readers the first number of volume XIV of the Advertiser. In entering upon the fourteenth .' year of our paper, we bring to our aid the experience of the past the ster ling present, and hope for a prosper ous future to assist us In the labor of making a paper which, Lf all our pat rons do not just like, they cannot afford o do without. In a new State so rich in undevel oped resources as Nebraska is, there is ample opportunity for us to make a periodical useful to the individual cit izen, and of untold benefit to the State at large. " Socially, their are evils to curb and 'correct, and virtues to commend; morally, there are vices which should be punished, and human measures which call for our aid ; politically, there are correct and sound policies . to be permanently established, and political heresies to be crushed out; physically, there are laws of health . which need advocates, and intemper ate and dissipated habits which loudly eall for reform. Materially, we have agricultural, the dairy, the wool, the railroad, the manufactory, the educational the hu man, the coal and the mineral re sources of our State to develop. We have a State, the southern half of which is rich in undeveloped water owers which should be made to drive the wheel, the loom, the swindle, the lathe, the saw, the plainer, the wheel "right's machinery, the tanning geer- iug, the stone saw, fcc. In Nemaha county we have the Little Nemaha river with her five mill-dams and grist mills ; Johnson county has the Big Nemaha river with her three mills; Richardson has the same river with three mills thereon; Pawnee county has the same river with at least two mills -running; Gage, Saline and Jefferson have the Big and Little Blues with two good mills in each county ; none of these are using their full power, 'and can turn double the present ma chinery for manfacturing purposes. For the accomplishment for anyone and all these purposes shall we labor the coming year weekly drawing the attention of capitalists and manufac- t turers to these subjects. e shall labor for the public and the individual " good.

Democracy. Ex-Secretary O. II. Browning has recently delivered a 6peech, in which appears the following sound uemo cratic doctrine: Imperfection is Inherent In our race. "NYe can hope for, and it is our duty as well as our exalted privilege, to attain a degree of perfection, or, more prop erly speaking, a degree of excellence. It is within our power to do that. To do it, and when we do It, we ought to he eonxcrratire. It ia & roint bevond which we can't pass. All the talk we hear about progress in the science and fundamental principles of govern ment, is the cant of mere demagogues. . "VVe noticed three of our subscribers from Swan, City, trading with our merchants and lumber dealers, this week. Our paper going out into the interior of the State, is continually reminding out readers that Brownviile offers many advantages as a trading point: and the advertisements we ' publish, direct their minds as uner- ringly to the house they are to call at when they come -to our town. Mr. Freeman, of Swan City, told us he came for lumber and to do some tra ding; and he said, that although he was unacquainted with the merchants of Brownviile, yet he had made up liis mind before leaving home, from rtxiAinrr flio nr? rfH !cpmfn tn in nnr tin.- per, which house he should go to to do his trading. Many persons under value the influence of a newspaper in developing the resources of a country. It circulates where no mere haud-bil is will go. Its variety offers something of interest to . thousands of readers, and fixes their minds in the direction of the town or city from which it is tent. This is repeated daily and week ly, year after year, rendering its influ ence incalculable. By building up your newspapers, then you build up towns, cities and country. The official canvass of the election as now on file, will be found in anoth er column. One fact is evident, and that is that but a little over half of our full vote was polled. The total vote this year Is 1.1G4, while last year the voto was 1.31S upon 1,600 registered votes. "We have not learned exactly, the vote registered this year, but know it cannot fall far short of 2,000. The result, whether gratifying or not, re mains the same, showing the election of two Democrats on the people's tick et, one Republican on the Republican ticket, and the balance of the people's ticket of Republicans. That it will teach Republicans that an overwean Ing confidence in large majorities can never be Indulged in without risk, Is undoubted. And we are pleased to note the fact that many Republicans who aided in bringing about the above result, are as much chag. ined at seeing two Democrats Installed in our best offices, as those who did all in their power to prevent it. The most nau- ceaiing uoses are oiten necessary to restore the body corporal, and we ex pect great benefits to flow iron this dose to the Rpublican body politic of Radical Nemaha. Cor. Sec'y, J..M.

Ev ervthing indicated the order in this State to be in a prosperous anl grow ing condition. The Grand Secretary's Annual Re port shows Ohio Has re-elected Gov. Hayes, Repub lican, by 10,000 majority, gain of 7,017 ; and the Republicans have carried both branches of the Legislature, securing the ratification, by that State, of the 15th amendment, and its consequent adoption into the Constitution. Even the Democracy of other States rejoice at the defeat of Pcndelton and his greenback theory. Cass county elects her Republican ticket with one or two exceptions. It appears tnere was some disanecnon with what the Herald styles: "the so-called Republican Convention." It is gratifying to see papers of al most all classes denying the base slander that Gen. Grant had entered Wall street as a gold gambler, and had ordered the sale of gold on the 24th of September to make ft specula tion through Corbon, his brother-in-law. It is gratifying to see the coun try recovering from the shock, given to its respect for the Chief Magistrate by Johnson's administration ; and be- cause or the utter grounuiesness oi the charge. Mr. Calhoun' apology for having been a rebel Is rmeived and accepted. It is all right. He pleads the minor act in defence of aiding to break up the Union. Rector Davis, of this city, made a trip to Beatrice during the past week, and confesses himself greatly surpris ed at the improvement of the country between the two points. He passed on the road between twenty and thir ty emigrant wagons, with considera ble stock and one drove of 700 sheep. He brought in a sample of wheat that cannot be beat anywnere, irom one bin of 1000 bushels, and he saw one farm of 700 acres with thirty stacks of splendid wheat untbrashed. tie sees a gloriou.j future in store for Southern Nebraskfc- Xumber of Lodirea In the Stat Numlier of Members In tbe btat Iniatert the pant year. 1 570 1M f7 75 Total Revenue in the State tbe past year.

"- With . regard to the "big jaw" trouble in the west end of our county, we have the authority of the vender for saying that the animal was not seriously affected, and that persons buying tbe meat were told of it. From others we learn the same, besides the opinion that as the lump had but just bvfrun forming, the meat could not be alTccted. We cannot afford to mix tha "bolting" and the "big jaw" question. Tbe Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. the ity. lur the fc Uio of Nebraska. i-th. of tail month nt meets Nebr:tka C Some "Loyal Leaguers" In New York have anuounced their intention. U is said to oppose and vote against Xkrace Greely, candidate for State Comptroller, at the coming election. The reason alleged for their action is that Mr. Greely became bondsman for Jeff Davis. It is further stated that Mr. Greely may probably be forced to decline on account of this dissatisfac tion. We hope not, although if elect ed, we know it would be a great sac rifice on his part to preform the duties of the position. Mr. Greely is worth more to the Republican party than ten thousand of these "Loyal Leaguers," and he should not give way on account of their puny opposition. There seems now little doubt that the Rothschilds have offered to loan our government all the money she wants at 4 per cent, The recognized power and ability of this hous,e as the shrewdest financiers in the world, i3 a flatteriDg proof of the stability cur 'government la attaining abroad under a Republican administration ; and the loans, if affected, will relieve the gov ernment of all embarrassments, and the Democracy of the necessity of preaching the doctrine of repudiation. The debt will be p:ud despite the pro tost of that party. Richardson County Election. The returns from every precinct ex- cept Franklin, indicate the election of W. H. Mann, Geo. laulkner and L.
