A correspondent from Lincoln to
the Daily Times, Nebraska City says
that "Gov. Croxton is In town, and
looks as happy as a big Sun Flower."
That expresses our idea of the man
exactly a clear lolling representation
of the easy goingpolitician, who don't
care whether school keeps or not.
The Brownville Democrat hoists to
the breeze two tickets so opposite in
their nature that it designates one,
"the Honest Voters own Ticket,"
and tho other, which it leaves us to
infer, is not for the honest voter. It
heads with the undignified word,
"Nominated."
The word "Democracy" has been
rendered so unpopular by the records
of .the party, so long claiming this
word as their shaboleth, that the odi
um thus attached to the word Is
sought to be avoided, by running the
party under the name of "People's
party," or Working-men's party."
The deception Is so apparent that
only the lubberly and sore headed are
in danger.
The Democracy of Nebraska City
nominated F. Benner and Bobert
Hawk for the Senate. Their Bepub
lican opponents are C. "VV. Seymour,
and David Brown.
We are surprised to learn 'that Col.
Cropsey announces himself as in opi
position to Butler and his candidate
in the 4th Senatorial District; His
aspirations for the honors of, tho.4th
District has led him Into this false po
sition before the country.
We congratulate the" Democrat on
iilHrible column advertisement from
tha Capital. We hope It was taken
at paying rates, as It is worthless as
an Item of interest. In substance, It
states thaTicbnors propertyvalued at
$30,000, nd insured for $20,qou, was
taken as security for fo,500, to some
private individual; and as security
for $10,000 to the State of Nebraska.
It congratulates Governor Butler for
having secured the School fund of
the State on its ten per cent; loan.

September 35th, 18'
' : Dear ' : Brother Mc'Orew : T h i s
morning at precisely 2 o'clock P. M.,
Ah Sin handed me, as usual, a copy
of the1 Nebraska Advertiser, in which
T.notieed an article fronyyonr pen
headdil "Educational;" which I pro
seeded to read profoundly and Imme
diately. Being devoted to the moral
rejuvlnation of benighted humanity,
I heartily acquiesce with you to the
opinion that morality Is of great and
astounding preponderance, and that
no teacher should be allowed to en
ter the school room who will swear.
But as you philosophically observe,
"believing a man to be moral and
finding proofs of his immorality, are
two different things." Then how are
we to determine ? Iain precisely of
your opinion when you say, "It is a
nice thing to theorize, but the practi
cality of it, we fear, can not be sub
stantial." Again, how are we to de
termine as to what morality is, and
whether a teacher will swear ? From
fifteen years experience as County
Superintendent among the Arabs, I
think I can offer a few suggestions as
to the best methods of settling the
question as to whether a man will
swear. I think that in the present
unrighteous Btate of public opinion in
your country, it would be useless to
try to compel the teacher to confess
it; for the wicked people would not
uphold you in applying the thumb
screw, and without it he would be
likely to persist in. lying. But here is
a method which I have used for many
years with great success; and to which
no one can object, orifany oneshould
object that is jirima facie evidence
that he will swear :
1st. Bore the candidate for a long
time with questions and reflections of
a moral disposition your article in
the Advertiser would be just the thing
this you will generally find is all
that Is necessary, but if not,
2nd. Throw a handful of red pepper
in his face, being sure to gelt some of
it in Ms eyes. If he does not swear
at this stage of your treatment, you
will be perfectly safe in granting a
certificate, even though the candidate
should be an idiot, for you may be
sure he will not swear.
Yours Fraternally,
Johnatiiax Gosh Goliath Goxg.

THE STATE FAIR.
Notwithstanding the inclement
V
weather, of Monday mornfng, the en
tries during that day, a day in ad
vance of the opening, were quite sat
isfactory. The still jthreatening
clouds during the day kept many from
preparing for the next day Yet yes
terday was a crowded, rushing busi
ness day with the Secretary, Treasur
er and Superintendents. The Board
had provided three times the accom
modations for stock ever before, and
yet before noon carpenters were busi
ly engagod erecting additional stalls,
and are still at work even this morn-
The stock entries, especially horses,
-
cattle and swine, are very' large. As
fine blooded cattle as the United
States can produce are on the ground.
The same may be said of hogs. The
blooded horses are not so numerous ;
yet fine graded stock-for general util
ity is nhnndant. Some fine colts of
Glencoe" Judge Mason's' horse
and of "Old Andy" arc on the grounds.
The entries of sheep are not large, but
those on exhibition are very fine.
Agricultural implements are abun
dant and of all patents and style.
In the Hall there is, altogether, a
fine exhibition. Tho farm products
are shorter than usual, for what reas
on we cannot imagine. What is on
exhibition, however, is excellent. The
Floral display is large and fine, espe
cially when it is remembered that it
is all from private collections; no
green-house in the place, nor within
a hundred miles. The department of
fine arts, ladies' fancy needle work,
etc., is large and highly creditable.
Fruit of our own State, is meagre, but
good. Mr. Blanchard, of California,
has on exhibition a fine collection
from the Golden State.
The number of entries for horse
speed are large, and the lovers of the
turf will be furnished with food in
this line to their heart's content.
Side Show Fat women, giants,
cercasians, swings, daguerrean artists,
and such like are abundant.
The grounds filled up rapidly and
to overflowing this morning and dur
ing the day, to-morrow and next day
are expected to be crowded days.
A large number of people are in at
tendance from other States, and are
well pleased thus far.
THE FAIR.
Among the entries this morning we
notice in stock a fine black stallion
with three of his colts, entered by
John Nulk.
By J. M. Wood, of Cass county, a
very fine shorthorn cow and yearling
bull.
A fine Messenger stallion, owned
by John Argebright, of this county,
and quite a number of fine cattle hors
es and hogs have been added.
Bobert Teare, of this city, exhibits
20 varieties of vegetables and several
others have added to the collection.
Deuser Shirts & Shellenberger
have got their hardware and stoves
Jin position, which make a fine dis
play.
Hanaford & M'Fall show some nice
Furniture.
A very finely finished cutter by A.
J. McFall. ' i vi-
The ladies' department hasreceived
some additions of fancy work, quilts,
etc., and all together is well filled.
The four boxes of manufactured to
bacco" from Colhapp Brothers, of
Brownville, is deserving of special
notice, as the first which has been
made In the State, and iH of as line
quality as the same article which we
have been importing for years. This
is one more article which we can pro
dune at homo, and trreat credit is due
this factory for demonstrating this
fact.
The committee on fruit were busy
this afternoon, and in addition to yes
terdays entries, we notice a fine col
lection of apples from J. W. Hollings-
head. , ,
Judge Blanchard, of California, has
filled a show case with fruit from that
State, which is truly grand. We
counted 8 varieties -of apples, 2 of
mammoth peaches and clusters of
Tokay and Malaga grapes, rich and
large. This contribution attracts the
attention of every visitor.
The committees on sheep and goats,
hogs and several other classes, have
been at work during the day, aiitl left
their red and blue cards.
The State of Nebraska is at present
well represented in the newspaper
line, a very large majority of which
are Bepublican. From these exchan
ges and from private information we
learn that the Republicans of the
State are rallying "once again" to the
support of the standard bearers of the
party. This is as it should be. ,Let
the Republican party fully organize
for the conflict and increase her ma
jorities for our leaders and the princi
ples they represent. The issues are
those of I860, and upwards. Shall
What the party in power the people
have accomplished bo firmly estab
lished and maintained, or shall the
rebel element of the country be per
mitted to roll back the country into
the old system of rule or ruin. Let
every voter consider well this, ques
tion before depositing his ballot then
the country is safe.

The "glorious old white men's par-
ty" In Louisiana, which has justclos-
ed its session, contained among oth
ers, four negro delegates. This .Is the
first fruits of the "New Issue" so
strenuously contended for by our
down town cotemporary. We agree
I with the Democrat that tho unpopu
lar record of tho "White man's" par
ty, should be forgotten, and that they
have credit now for working for the
pilblio'good, and for our oommon
country. We will further assure
them that If In future years their
wbrks show continued repentance,
the generous public may again gradu-i
ally entrust them with power to some
iimited extent.

Great prosperity 'is attending the
Republican party in this propinquity
judging from the vote cast at the Re
publican caucus in this city, on last
Saturday. Over thirty persons who
have hitherto acted and voted with
the opposition, voted for delegates to
the county convention. If many of
them shall, when sober, continue in
the new faith thus professed, our
strength at the next election will be
increased ten per cent, over former
showings.
Hon. Jno. I. Bedick publishes, a

sideration for the office of U. S. Sen

commends Gov. Saunders as the next
most competent man for that posi

From R. V Black, of Lafayette pre
cinct, we learn that the following
delegates were chosen at their caucus
last Saturday, to represent "that pre
cinct in the Republican County Co n
tion to be held in this city next Satur
day : D. C. Sanders, J. Higging,
Reayman, C. Blodget, Wm. Hawley,
. Patterson.
Trotting and Pacing Postponed.
On account of the inclemency of the
weather, and the consequent bad con
dition of the track, there was no trot
ting or pacing this afternoon: but
was postponed until to-morrow after
noon if the weather is good.
Entries In Clrtsa 1

Mr. Mallet, Second Secretary of the
British Embassy, at Paris, who final-:
ly succeeded in getting to the Prus
sian1 headquarters, returned to-day
bringing an answer from Bismarck to
Lord Lyon. Mallet's; talk with Bis
marck' was plain and to the point.
He asked for an ultimatum. "We
must have Strasbourg and Metz,"
said Bismark. "Dismantled ?" asked
Mallet. "No," answered B.smarck,
stroDgerthan eve?. "Then suppose
the French govern iueut finds your
terms Impossible?" "Wo shall. in
vest and starve Paris, and if that does
not succeed, we shall try Other
means."
"Would you bombard the city?"
"Certainly, and burn it, ,if forced
to."
Bismark's talk with Gladstone and
Granville, and their timed message
carrying, was tho reverse of respect
ful, and he did not hesitate to let it be
known that he cared nothing for the
efforts of outsiders, and was resolved
to settle all questions with France
alone. For Lyons he professed re
spect and good will, and cordially ad
vised lilm to get out of Pari3 while he
could : Ho. had notified Lord Gran
ville that the siege once begun he
would allow nOieommunications be
tween foreign Governments and their
Embassies in the city. The written
answer sent by Bismarck to Lyons
was confidentirl and has not been dis
closed, but Lyons intimates that he
thinks Bismark must have Piiria in
his hands before concluding peace,
the most effectual means of enforcing
his demands : nor is tho French
government at heart confident ofj
making a successful defense. Trochu
told Lyons .he would do his best but
he said there wOl be a massacre hen
anarchy.
