Our people in town especially, should make their entries early. justice Ebright this morning gave Jits decision in the libel case between jude Hewett and the Democrat.

Moreover, besides, in addition, beyond, supple mentally, etc., they were not commit ted at least not very much. They were required to give their individu al bond in the amount of $500, which they refused to do, anil the court has. up toihis date, "failed" to "commit." Democrat. For the sako of humanity and "poor erring human nature," we regret that the Editor of the Democrat, who we hitherto have regarded as a.ffcntleman, bo far forgets himself, or rather gives away to his natural inclination, to such an extent as to require us to pub licly acknowledge our mistake. In order that the reader may see to what an extent of recklessness the re cent and repeated castigations this editor has received, has driven him to, we copy, entire, his scurrillous ar ticle, and our paragraph to which he refers. Mr. Calhoun came to this place from one of the extreme fire-eating Southern States, his skirts dripping with the blood of his countrymen having served in the rebel army and presuming upon "the ignorance of the mudsills of the North," at onco set himself up as tbeA'beadraad front" tho "Great Mogulcjiilm :eat MoirulofialmtiingJp Vrta 'ifical, social , moral anoiiNmBsiafuiau,, heifbii and expected to sec allsfallitteWJind! worship this sciori'of thelW'FV's.y The "mud sills," and even his own political associates, failing to "sec it" he has been repeatedly "snubbed," nnd feels very sore. Recently he at tacks a public officer, with results known to all our citizens. How, be cause we simply give a narrative of facts, heevervesces in the style as seen above. As to our reference to the libel suit, and quoted in the above paragraph, we-have simply to say that the differ ence between our statement, and the Democrat's admission is "thqsanie as between twedledeeand twedledum." If & man be found guilty, or is requir ed to give bond, and fails or refuses, as in this case he stands committed not, however, necessarily, incarcera ted. If the Editor of the Democrat has escaped incarceration thus far, it is because of the leniency of the Jus tice and prosecutor, and.isliis good fortune. ' We learn, from reliable authority, that parties in the interest of Mr. Joy will be in mir rdace and along the line of the Trunk Rail Road, next Week, with the view of speedy work on that road. The committee of ladies having in charge the Walnut Grovo Cemetery Association, of this place, have deci ded to erect a suitable building for the use of the Sexton. Th6 work will commence immediately. lot owners, and especially those who have rela tives or friends buried in the cemete ry will be glad to know of this deter mination on the part oftheladies, and thank them for the energy they have exhibited. "Without any onc-to give care and attention it has. been almost useless to attempt any improvements, and especially decoration of lots. Ruthless hands have marred and de stroyed nearly every effort. With a Sexton on the ground it will be differ ent, and consequently more efforts will be made to improve the' lots. The man down street, possessed of moral grit." denies being a "cow ard." He need not do that. :Don't every body know he was a "soldier" M in the army against his coantry. "The criminals at large" say they were required to give bond for their 'appearance at the next tefm of court,"' which "they refused," and cft the court room and returned to heir place of business,"- and then boil over because we say they stand mmitted.

The war correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial gives tho follow ing as to the personal appearance of King William: "His majesty reminds mo of Gen. Burnside. His razor gives his portly chin that delicate polish, that perfect cleanliness and soft brilliancy that the steel imparted to our General's fa cial foundation. Then he is bald like Burnside, and wears mustache and whiskers in the same style. He lacks however, the upper part of that dome of bald head that gave our General's photographs such fine finish. Then the King is erect and tall, like Burn side, and gracious too. He is said to be fully aware of, and to enjoy especially, his great reputa tion in England and America, and, as he speaks English quite well, it is a pleasure to him to give himself the exercise. His appearance gives some, warrant to -the rumor that his health is bad. His complexion indicates an unreliable sanitary condition, but the war will nodoubt carry him through. AVe saw the King again at Faulqu ment, takii.g as a point of observa tion, a bridge for the turnpike over ihe railroad. It was nearly sundown. The wagon trains were filling adjoin ing fields, and the smoke of the bi vouac fires of half a dozen regiments of Infantry and some batteries and Cavalry, was setting In a blue haze on the little vallies south and west. The road on which the King was coming could be seen for two or three miles, white as a chalk mark, gradu ally descending toward us, and made very conspicuous by the usual rows of tall poplars. The teamsters still on the road, and filling it as we could see, turned aside, giving room for the King's escort and carriages. The cavalcade came on full tilt; the guards in steel jackets and flowing plumes and drawn sabres, staving by, every man erect, aud staring straight ahead the horses trotted together as if they were a monstrous machine worked by steam power. As the first carriage whirled by there was a slight :chear, but not foDthe JKing. Some said it was for Moltke. PerhapsitJ was, but all that I could make out plainly was a very long and slender pair of boots, miraculously polished. The King came alonir uresently. bowing easily in. return for the greeting 'received; and after him was another tempest of cavalry, ,and a whirl of the wagons containing the luggage of his majes ty, and then the teamsterJs cracked thir whips and tore into the road, swearing as teamsters always do, and got up a diabolical confusion, in the midst of which officers galloped .and whirled their horses, yelling likemad in the ftain effort to out-curse the termsters." The American ship "Queen" has arrived at Toulon with a hundred American volunteers and seven thou sand rifles. (From our Dally of Friday. SEIGB OF PARIS. The idea has been expressed that the Germans cannot surround Earis and starve it into a surrender without a force much greater than Is now sup posed to he advancing on the city. The New York Tribune BUggests that it will not be necessary, as many sup pose, for the Germans to form a ring around Paris, thus preventing ingress or egress of individuals. On the con trary they wJH simply hold the prin cipal lines of approach and destroy the railroads running into the city. "With out this means of supply Paris could 'not hold Out many days, All the railwayo and rivers of the country, if ifaey had been usedj exclusively for ihe transportation of auppJiesVrgi-; the toirtrrcrlrTraTtr" sufficient to supply the city with six month's surplus provisions for her 2,000,000 of population. There is prob ably not a week's supply of food in Paris at this time. As another evidence of the disposi tion of the "Great Snubbed," to ad here to truthful statements, we men tion the charge the Editor makes that Mr. Fairbrothcr, of Tecumseh, was n candidate for Sheriff last year. Everybody in this county knows Mr. Fairbrother was in nowiso connected with the convention last year, either as a candidate or a delegate. The whole assertion is another, manufac tured from whole cloth. As to the slur about a difference be tween Mr. Fairbrother and the Ed itor of the Advertiser,, that's amusing to the parties The man down street who was bound over and failed to give bonds, and consequently stands committed, talk3 of having "fairly whipped" somebody. If he ever whipped any thing, the evidence is yet to be pro- 'duced. "We are authorized by the State Board of Agriculture to say to Prof. Rich that the school under his charge will be passed into the State Fair any day he may name. It is believed that as Strasbourg cathedral took five hundred years in building, and was built by Germans, the bombarders will endeavor not to destroy it. ' ; m) 1 cr L Il BEGS.

The extent dS loyalty as thus expressed and acknowledged, will require close lookiug after to discover. But as Congress in the exercise of leniency has failed to incarcerate, culpritssim- ply stand committed. s The County Commissioners of Jef ferson county, have issued the procla mation authorizing the people of that county to vote on the proposition to donate the sum of one hundred thou sand dollars to aid the construction of the Brownville, Fort Kearney & Pa cific Railroad. Oneof the "Criminals at large.?' is terrible anxious that the Justice, who holds him as "committed," shall or der him into actual confinement ! He has failed to obtain any sympathy as. the matter stands and is" hunting up, a new feature. 1 hi r Hon. Marcus Brush, of Ashland, member of the last State Legislature, from that District, died on Tuesday last. He was one of the early settlers of Ashland and will be greatly miss ed in that community. The entries for the State Fair, made at home and from abroad within a few days, indicate! an unparalleled exhibition at the coming Fair. It seems they have some "people's ticket" men among the Democracy in Otoe county. What's tiie matter with Bro. Croxton's home district? The "criminal at large" wants a habeas corpus. Whilo he "stands committed" he can't obtain it. Hence the desire to be incarcerated..' "So' far as heard from" the Judge is ahead. Our Democratic" friends call the Republicans ".office seekers." We rather think tho Dembbrats are the fellows who aro seeking ofllcp. The Democrats of Illinois talk of running W. F. Coolbaugh against John A. Logan for Cougressman-at-large. That wouldn't be a big thing on Coolbaugh. m The famed Preacher Spurgcon says of the Frauco- Prussian war. I wish these Kings of earth would sometimes do their own fighting, in stead of getting their soldiers to fight for them. It would not be a bad idea if Napoleon and the King 'of Prussia would come over to juugiana aim ngiic it out. i imi quite "sure" the police would wink at the matter, and I would be willing to hold their coats, and I would cheer one, and say, "hit him hard, for I think he deserves it." As another evidence that the De mocracy are not in earnest when they tell us they "accept the situation," we quote the following from theDem- ocratic platform of Tennessee: "Declares theFifteenth amendment enforcement law' unconstitutional, and urges its repeal. It favors the taxing of Federal .bonds and tho abo lition of national banks; denounces the reconstruction lawk and pledges the Democracy of Tennessee to unite with those of the north in maintain ing the rights of the government." From our DaUy of Saturday. The Democracy of Otoe county have Issued a circular charging the Republican party with erecting and maintaining a State Government in Nebraska, at the expense of the peo ple;living within the boundary lines thereof, as though that were an un heard of and grievous crime! It is a round-about way they have of finding fault with the people for not voting tho Democratic ticket, and .for not electing Democrats to offices of hon or trust and profit. We were delighted to meet in our city yesterday John ;S., Fergus, Esq. , of Mianii county; Ohio. Mr. F Is a brother-in-law of Dr. McPherson vhoss guest he is, and an old school jnutfQa&iheEditoif of this paper, who we have not met "before7 for fifteen years past. His son Corwin has been In. this State for several years past. This is the first, visit of tho father to Nebraska. We hope he may be well pleased. m t m That portion of the Democratic par ty engaged in endeavoring to bolster up the rotten hulk of their long since extinguished political organization, seems to be more concerned for the welfare of the. Republican party than anything else just now. Thanks for kind intentions; but the Republican party is abundantly able to take care of itself. , -.ta-i - A Government contract for five thousand head of cattle has' been awar.ded to J. E.

The harbor being cleared, wo soon found ourselves in the midst of the deep blue waters of Lake Erie, and the vision gratified by the glimmer' of lights peering out from an extensive lake bound city, in the darkness;' ON tfttE Sl'EAMER. Having got well under way in the midst of the surging deep, all appear ed to be on the qiu vivc to ascertain how they should pass the night. Many sdnght refuge in 'the stage rooms, while many took to cards on the lower deck, aud many endeavor ed to find pleasure by:rambling thro' the' various departments of1 the boat, taking items and edifying themselves by observing'th'e different changeable groups, in lively conversations and discussions.

Here preparations had been made at a hotel "for our breakfast, but not anticipating such a largo number thero-,wasfjquit'e"' a failure to procure entertainment for all, and, conse quently, many scattered off' into dif ferent portions to obtain something to at least satisfy tho craving appetites until they should reach their destina tion. I must confess that f was hot a lit tle chagrined, at first glance, at wit nessing the Brittish ilag thrown to tho breeze in prominent positions in honor of our approach, together with such signs as the British Lion Hotel, but as we proceeded further themirig- lirtgoftho. Stars and Stripes with those of the Bars in close, juxtaposi tion, together with the friendly greet ings of the Canadians, those feolings were soon dispelled. Here we were met by a committee, who had come with the large train provided for our accommodation, and gave us the hand of recognition, and welcome to the shores of Ontario as portions of the same great brother hood, as those from whence we came, speaking the same silent language, and governed by the same laws and regulations of one common head. . THE COUNTRY. Taking my position upon the plat form of the car for the purpose of mak; ing closer observations, my attention was drawn to-the fact that there was an abundanccofexcellellt timber, but the soil, compared with that of Ne braska, was exceedingly poor, and unproductive ; the surface presenting considerably tho appearance- of the white caps produced by the surging waters of the Lake.
