GOVERSOR , nrTLER-SEXATOU
TIPTOUT.
Agreeable to announcment Gov.
Butler arrived in Brown villo yester
liav,nPatulrcssed tl?e peopleofilus,
county in reply ro Senator Tipton's
speech made some days ago. The
meeting waa one of the largest of a
political character, we have seen con
vened in the county. Men from
nearly every part of the county, and
of all political complexions were pres
ent. An interview was secured be
tween the Governor and Senator in
which it was agreed that Tipton
should follow Butler immediately,
and before the same audience. We
will not attempt to report the speech
es of either, or make comments there
on, bubsimply endorse the language
with which both gentlemen prefaced
their speeches. That it was sad and
sorrowful that two men occupying the
positions before the country, and iu
the Republican party, that these two
do, should deem it due themselves to
bo engaged in, and appear before a
public assembly, in a bitter personal
controversy. We repeat, it was sad;
was sorrowful, and we know it to be
a fact, that every true Republican felt
the same. It was nuts, liowever, for
Democrats, who.fjlfting UP011 lMe
truthfulness of the aphorism, "united
we stand, divided we fall," drew
crre.it L-omfort from the "situation" of
affairs, and were the principals in the
"cheering part of the ceremonies.
Both speakers, with a determina
tion to totally annihilate each other,
went at their work with a vim, and
as if the entire result of the campaign
depended upon their success in this
battle. The fur flew in every direc
tion, and on both side3. Each was
skinned, flayed and jibbeted, and the

It is amusing to see how the editor

He is again troubled with his old
chronic disease "poke-your-nose-in-t

course of the Advertiser does not suit
him. We are not surprised at that,
nor is any other loyal man. When

Democrat, one who evinced his faith

that he was done with the Democrat

charging war Democrats with being
'Lincoln hirelings." Ho had got
through with them. Hereafter he in

Lefcthe opposition say what lliey
may, as to malfeasance in oflice, the
people of this State must not forge't
lhatlnider the rule and management
of a Republican administration, no
Rhih in the Union has been so suc
cessfully managed; so rapidly devel
oped; so firmly established as ours;
and that too, without taxing the peo
ple. The taxes we regard as heavy,
are all local, aud belong to the coun
ties. Terriblo floods have occurred in
'Virgiaia within the past few days.
HMiprmis no account of an extraordi
nary tain, of a, water-spout, or any
thing out of thejusuai; routine of an

wonderful. The suddenness of the
rise, the water .rising in a swell or
wave live feet high, justifies the im
pression that an immei.se water-spout
deluged the earth so suddenly as to
give no time for the absorption of the
flood. .
We nave a number of valuable com
munications on hand for which we
are uirable to find room until after the
election. After the election Is over,

John Davidson undertook, last
week, at Omaha, to walk a hundred
and thirty consecutive hours, with
out sleep. With all the rubbing down
and even whipping to keep up the
man, he fell prostrateand. was carried
to his bed before the expiration of the
time. Served him right. If he had
devoted the time, 'labor and expense
to some laudable undertaking; not tri
fling with the constitution God had
given him, it would have beeu far
more creditable. Such demonstrations
and exhibitions, are but a grade below
prize fighting, and ought not to be
countenanced by respectable people. ,
By reference to the. list of lots sold
at Lincoln last week, and tho prices,
we "find, while the average price was
fair and creditable there was not so
inuoli-"ruu-wild'l qb horotofo.9. Tho
prices ranged from $600 to $90 ; a"
majority $100 and over.

Journal are illuminating their respect

THE OCTOBER ELECTION.
The New York Tribune announces
the fact that elections are to be held
this mouth in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
and Nebraska. It predicts Republi
can victories in them alL Tho Trib
une says:
"We see no reason why each of
these elections should not result in a
substantial Republican triumph.
Each of them will, unless general ap
athy should throw away the contest.
The majorities in our favor at the cor
responding election two years ago
were as follows: Pennsylvania, 9,677;
Ohio, 17,383; Indiana, 961; Iowa, 24.
265; Nebraska, 2.491. This vote was
nn unusually full one. of course, in
consequence of the Presidential can
assand the special importance thus
attaching to the October elections.
"The next vear with a great falling
ofFnf thn vote and a universal lack of

Tlife Wnr on tlic Sore-Heads.
This campaign makes an era in the
history of Republicanism in Nebras
ka, that inevitably befalls a political
party largely in the majority. The
lime always comes when an out
break must take place of the oilice-
seekers asrainst the rank and file of
the organization, when, because they
canuot control, for their own aggran
dizement, the vote of the primary
meetings, and the State and county
conventions, they will in desperation
break off their allegiance, throw
themselves into the open arms of the
opposition, and plot the disorganiza
tion and destruction of the party with
which they have heretofore affiliated.
It is a test of the soundness of a party
that is infallible. The history of the
country gives instances of the dis
ruption of a great political organiza
tion by the sore-heads. But these in
stances are very rare. It is far more
common to seethe exodus of thedetn
agoguos result simply in their own
disappearance from the political sur
face, and iu the greatly increased vig
or and purity of the party thus well
rid of dead beats and office-seekers.
We expect a diminution of the Re
publican majorities iu several coun
ties in this State in the coming elec
tion. But we believe that the strength
of the Republican phalanx, will not
at all be impaired by these partial de
sertions. We believe tnat eacn siougn
oflfof dead matter will be a benefit to
the general radical health, and that,
nurified. and united closer than be-
rore, the great party of the people that
has made Nebraska a bright example
to her sister States, as the most ener
getic, enterprising aud finai.cially
successful State in the Union, will
continue for years to come to be her
safeguard and her glory.
Never has a party been more faith
ful to its trusts than the Republicans
of Nebraska. Never has a State had
oetter ana" more successful manage
ment of its school and internal im
provement lands and funds, its pub
lic buildiugs, its railroad interests
than has ours. And now that it ha3
attained a reputation for a brilliant
financial policy, and as the possessor
ot a Heritage iar surpassing mat oi uie
older aud individually .wealthier com
munities, a crowd of wretched and
hungry political hacks and cormor
ants are makimr a desperate, deter
mined and devilish onslaught for the
spoils. No slander is too low-lived,
no lie is too infamous to be used by
these common scoundrels, for the ac
complishment of their ends.
Public plunder is theeo-hesivepow-er
that draws together such men as
Croxton, Miller & Co., and money
and lies are poured out freely as water
to demoralize the Republfcan camp.
Gold is sometimes stronger than prin
ciple, and a lie will proverbially pass
the first milestone before Truth has
put on her sandals, but In the end
priHCipie Will U1UUIJJU UU mc iie uc
trampled under the feet of honest
men.
Let every true republican now make
a personal and persistent effort to de
feat tne attacK oi inese uemocrau
hordes and the sore-headed bush
whacker in this contest, and their de
moralized crowd will be out of the
wayfor.the next five years in our
State. Stale Journal.
The thieves who robbed the Paris
Rothschilds of two million frances

Prussians were defeated and forced to
retreat, and'the position taken by tho
French waa one that necessitated the
evacuation of Pithierers by the ene

point with so much precipitancy that
many cattle, and a largo amount of
forage, &c, were left behind, and all
of which fell into the hands of the
French.

"Governor Butler was In Falls Ci

their whiffs of smoke form perfect

that the hatchet should be buried
only in the bowels of the common

DISCIPLINE.
The philosophio Poet hath sald
"Order is Heaven's first Iaw,,"and has j
said well; for net anything can be
dono to good effect, without order.
An Apostle hath said "let everything
bo done in decency and In order." A
wise saying truly, and very practical,
and it is wise to practice it. Could
the thoughts, ideas, fancies and opin
ions which enter the mind be seen,
much of chaos and confusion would
be seen too. Not the same degree of
confusion in each mind, Co-be-sure;
some minds are beautifully arranged.
Thoughts, affections, aspirations and
inspirations, all In the proper place;
and at the proper time. Some minds
are always In a tempest, tossed with,
every wind of doctrine. There seems v
to be no ability to grasp a certainty.
Always in doubt abuot everything.
..'Ur-ifeiw-oabtetu IS corrdemned."
Certainly bucIi a state of mlud must
be a great condemnation. Such an
one has no "anchor to the soul, sure
and steadfast."
Other minds again get a set of ideas
I and never make any change in them;
never add nor diminish their realm
of thought Is very Hmall their boun
dary of vision very circumscribed
their plain of action very limited.
Such minds it is painful to contem
plate. One Is always reminded of
Lot's wife and the "pillar of salt."
Could the greatest want of humani
ty be made known to-day, maybe it
would be culture; proper discipline of
the mind, so there might be harmony
among tho attributes of the souK
There is a constant tendency In the
mind to lose Its balance. This Is caus
ed In a great measure, by training
some of the faculties and neglecting
others. To Bee a powerful intellect
cultured and refined, grasping laws
and demonstrating the great problems
of existence as exhibited in the varied
phenomena of nature In mind and
matter, while the moral nature is a
waste full of poisonous weeds and
"roots of bitterness" a moral pesti
lence; this is sad indeed, and produ
ces sad effects; for such minds are of
ten engaged in pulling down truth
and building up .error. It is such a
character as we are inclined .to give
the evil one.
Again there are characters where
tho moral character is beautifully
uainea, out tne intellect J8 almost a

for them. They' are imbeciles; and
are to be pitied.
Still another class of minds with in
tellect educated, and moral nature
trained, but no religious culture.
They seem to be embedded In ice. It
gives ono a chill to look at tbem;
they cannot get up out of the atmos
phere of earth ; spiritual vision cIob
ed ; the future dark and uncertain.
How gloomy and dismal such people
make the earth.
Now all these inharmonious char
acters might be made beautiful and
good, by a wise education of all the
faculties of the mind, and no educa
tor should think his duty dono when
he gives instruction in philosophy, in
algebra, or in grammar. Appeals
should constantly be made to the mor
al and religious natures. It is a mis
take that preachers are tlte only ones
to teach religion. Each man and wo- -man
should be a "teacher of "right
eousness." It Is a mistake that Chris
tianity is a bright gem glittering off
in the distance, eluding the grasp as
you approach it ; but It is a precious
pearl which should be worn at all
times, to adorn people every day, and
not put on just to visit In, or just to I
wear to meeting. w
Whosoever would bo wise, and
would lose thegrossness of earth, and
become more and more like tho an
gels, let him consider the faculties of
his soul, and capabilities of his na
ture, and ask himself why such won
drous powers were given him ? Then
improve the "talent" give him, hy-w
thorough education of all his fael-;r -L
ties : put himself under a severe d- j
cipline, so that when a temptation wH
offered to do evil he can turn vita
firmness away. When the follIeiff'
fashion would allure him to fall fro
his high rerfolves, he can smile and
pass safely on. So that he may sVe???
be strong to live up to tho provy
"If sinners entice thee, consent tbei
not."
As it has been said In truth "There
i3 no loyal road to greatness, ' all wh
would get there must travel arid
work. So all who would have a har
monious character, a well balanced
mind, a beautiful, religious culture
must work. He mui$tsay of his In
tellect, like the glorious, inspired
Paul, I'Will "prove all things; hold
fast to that which Is good. To his
moral nature, I will defraud no man
I will do good as I have have oppor
tunity. To his religious nature, I will
be true to the aspirations of my soul,
I will clothe my spirit in garments of
light, I willpri3eand serve God, and
Him only will I serve; and while I
respect the opinions 3ud faith of oth
ers, I shall think for myself, and have
my own faith. Let no one think the
magic wand of some fairy will trans
form him from a grub of earth, to a
"saint in light" without any of his
own effert! If he does, he will be
mistaken and will most likely remain
a grub until he learns to "work out
bis own salvation." Even Jestw waa
made "perfect through suffering," bo
men must learn to imitate their elder
brother if 'they would be "perfect m
their Father in Heaven isperfect."
