THURSDAY MOUSING, .TCXE 22, 1871.
Tlic Major Xomlnntlon
Col. Majors assures us thafhisfath
' cr stands in no such light as repre
sented by the Democrat of last week.
That he is not seeking a nomination
for Governor of the State ; and most
certainly not on any democratic plat
form. The Colonel openly expresses
' Mis conviction that the article in the
'J)cmocrat was written with a view to
' injure his father, and that it can have
no other effect. That if the blow thus
given fails of this result, It will be be
cause of the limited influence and cir
culation of that paper. The editorial
nlluded to, seemed to us, when we
first read it, to be authorized ; and we
must confess that In this light we
were somewhat surprised. "We have
known Mr. Majors some years, and
during that time have always found
. him a htraight-forward and reliable
party, razn; and so we yet consider
. him, and shall, until by some act of
' Ills own we find him straying after
the flesh pots of Egypt.
C. Tj. Vallandigham lost his life
last week by a strange and careless
accident. While engaged in the de
fense of a man charged with murder,
Be adopted the theory that the mur
dered man had killed himself, and he
-was illustrating to some friends at his
hotel how the fatal wound might
have been made by the man himself,
when the pistol with which h e was
demonstrating his theory was dis
charged the ball taking fatal effect in
his side.
The manner of his death excites
our sympathy, and his untimely end
may have its effect upon the political
measures of his party, with which he
has Inteh- become identified. While
it is not necessary nor proper now to
comment harshly upon his character
or career, it is impossible for his political-opponents
to review his history
without condemning It. He Is believ
ed by them, to have been a tricky
demegogue,-if. not traitor, and it is
hard for them to- excuse his factious
opposition to the war even to the
point of giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. At the same time he was
bolder and braver and therefore more
to be respected in his opposition than
some others of his party, and he con
sequently gave opportunity for pun--Miment,
which he received.
He was. notorious, but not great;
and oven his own party had little
confidence in him as a leader, though
doubtless he generally expressed their
average opinion, and his importance
has been, overrated. Even now the
Democratic journals comment on his
career with evident coldness.
Look BacI.
Under this head the Plattsmouth
JFcrald alluded to the seemingly
Htrauge fact of an official advertise
ment of the U. S. Assessor, Majors, in
the Brownville Democrat, asking
some explanation at our hands as to
why this was so. The Democrat ex
plains it by saying that It was unau
thorized ; that of his own accord he
placed It In his advertising columns,
without expeelatiout of pay, and
marked the same for tiro issues, just
as a mere matter of news. Thus
copying that news la the Democrat
is of no consequence, except when it
has an insertion tin .two issues.
Col. Majors-informs us that the ex
planation of tho-Ze7?iocrans the only
one that can be given. He did not
authorize the insertion of tho notice
in the Democrat and that ho will not
pa' the same. The above is satisfac
tory to us, and we have no doubt but
that the luattsroouth Herald will so
consider It. The fact, unexplained,
didlook strange to many ; but, aB it
will be seen, no blame can attach to
(Jol. Majors.
m
The Constitutional Convention is
now in session at Lincoln. The Elec
tion of Gen. Strickland as President
is-consldercd by many as a triumph
of the Thayer element, but we see no
such special significance In tho choice
thus made. Tho President has an
nounced'his committees, and by an
examination, of the list we observe
that the chairmanships of these com
mittees are classified as follows:
Douglas county ha3 nine, Otoe Coun
ty four, Richardson County three,
Lancaster and Cumming Counties,
two each, and Nemaha, Washington,
Saunders, Seward, Saline, Pawnee,
York, Hall, Gage, Stanton each one.
S.P. .MAJORS
The Democrat brings out the Hon.
8. P. Mnjare, of Peru , as a candidate
for Governor on the Democratic tick
et this fall. Surely Peru is a prolific
pohit for candidates. We now have
"from there tho Hon. John Gillespie
as Auditor of State. The Hon. J.
M. McKeneie as State Superinten
of Public Iask-uctipn. Col. T. J.
Majors as U. S. Assessor of Internal
Revenue for the State of Nebraska.
Wills. Majors as TJ. S. Assessor for
this Revenue district, and now comes
up tho name of S. P. Majors as a
Democratic candidate for Governor.
"Whether tho Democrat has set this
matter on foot as a drive at Peru, to
kill ofTS. P. Majors, or to hedge up
tho road of those already in office,
judge ye.
We hardly think our old friend
Majors will consent without protest
to be driven off the Republican or on
the Democratic track in the race for
Urn Governorship, by the kindly lash
aud.smir aud rein of our training co
tenipGdry. So good a Democratic
creed or so bad a Republican platform
as the Democrat writes for Mr. Ma
jors can hardly fail to place him Iiors
dc combat, either Is convention or
before the people, autf for the sake of
his present associations -which seem
to be the only ties we are aljojered to
gSppe&l to, we protest againstsjich,arju.-

. Omaha, Neb., June 21, 1871.
The greatest life of Omaha consists
of the transfer of the through travel,
and of their stoppage at the hotels, of
which the Wyoming, whereof Gov.
Paddock is the proprietor, gets the
larger share. We find, among our
guests at this house to-day, Mrs. Eliz
abeth Cady Stanton and Miss Susan
B. Anthony. As they were to speak
in the Academy of Music we secured
a seat to hear what they had to say.
Mrs. Stanton, at first view as she
cane on to the stage, resembled, in
many particulars, our Mrs. Loveless,
of peach and apple fame, except she
is a little stouter built. She weighs
over two hundred. Her very grey
hair was frizzed in style her style
and she was very neatly dressed in
black. Her countenance was quite
fresh and youthful, presenting au odd
contrast with her white, heavy, curly
hair. She-is quite motherly in her
appearance, and, in her remarks dur
ing the evening, she coquetted quite
womanishly with both the great po
litical parties, now praising, now
coaxing and then rediculing each in
turn, as the spirit moved her. Miss
Anthonj is a tall, old maidish, slight
ly built, but quite intelligent looking
woman in spectacles, and as she men
tioned the name of Victoria Wood
hull she evidently saw the up-turned
noses and impolite sneer of heriady
hearers, which nettled her. She cour
ageously met it by saying if she were
not as pure and virtuous as she ought
to be she had succeeded in getting a
hearing before a congressional com
mittee, when Mrs. Stanton and her
self had failed after twenty years per
sistent application. Whatever her
faults were Congressmen ratherseera
ffd to come down at her bidding, and
she would not discard her influence
so long Ji3 good was the result. One
thing she knew, let her faults be as
black as many believed they were,
she knew of'no man in Congress who
ought to throw stones at her, and
there was not one of her hearers who
would not feel a certain degree of
pride to be in their company. She
took the occasion to severely criticise
the habit women had of cutting the
acquaintance and social intercourse of
women for what they would overlook
in their male friends. They produced
a favorable impression.
Wo see but very little of import
ance going on in Omaha, and observe
but little that is new. We leave here
to-day for Lincoln, from which point
we will again write you.
m
ST. JOSEPH.
Ou last Friday we enjoyed a pleas
ant three hour3 ride on the Kansas
City St. Joe and Council Bluffs rail
road, between Brownville and St. Jo.
The travel over this road since its
completion has been immense, and
Its value is increasing. The towns at
its depots have not grown so rapidly
the past year as has the farming in
terests surrounding them. St. Jo
seph, in spite of the narrow minded
policy of her business men, is making
some improvements of a substantial
character. The Missouri river i3 to
be bridged at this point at a cost of
$76o,000, the contract for which has
been recently let to the Detroit
Bridge and Iron works company,
and is to be completed in a year from
next November. We called in at the
Hearald office and made the acquain
tance of the men that send forth that
live daily to the citizens of the city
and surrounding country. We found
Woolworth & Colt, of the Book Store
doing a lively business, and on the
opposite block, Jmay be found that
eminently successful hardware firm
of EIHngwood, Mansfield &Co. They
do not spread themselves over the
whole block, but when one goes
through their sales room, their office
and counting rooms, their iron and
wagon timber rooms, their agricul
tural implements, and the etceteras
of a vast wholesale establishment a3
theirs is, one can see that it is by a
well arranged system of piling and
cording up by which they arc enabled
to con fine their business to three or
four business lots. They deserve to
succeed, and do and will, as no firm
in St. Jo is so well and so favorably
know in western Missouri, southern
Nebraska, and eastern Kansas as are
they. If the other business men of
St. Joseph had a little of this enter
prise, and get-up-and-go in their
make up, that city would then stop
tho merchants of all this section and
save their trade. Such a course would
make of the slow going place a lively
business city." There is no one city
in the Missouri valley that is the cen
ter of so large a tract of rich and
well developed farming country as is
St. Joseph. Innumerable towns and
smaller cities, all of which might be
made tributary to "St. Joseph, are
springing up in every direction, with
in this circle, but they know but very
little of the inducements which that
city offers them as a wholesale depot
for all classes of goods, and the busi
ness men of St. Joseph are too penny
wise and pound' foolish to spread
this information before them. So
long as this policy obtains on the
part of her business men the growth
of that city must necessarily be slow
and unsatisfactory. Still we have
great faith In the ultimate destiny of
St. Joseph. If tho few would have
saved the ancient cities from deso
lution and. destruction, there is still
hopes for St. Joseph. Her few en
terprising business men men will yet
leaven the whole lump, and the time
is not far distant when the census ta
ker will find her borders a hundred
thousand souls.
Judge Lake has decided that the
title to the Lancaster Salt Lands is iu
J. Sterling Morton. It is said that
improvements to the value of .$40,000
have been put upon tho lands, which
Mr. Morton will get of course, if they
2iave been put there against his con
seat by. parties who had notice of his
rights;: provided, also, that Judge
Lake's decision, is affirmed by thjo
Supreme Court' on, appeal, or w,rit of.

THIEP CAPTURED-Ect., Ejc.
Mr. Editor: Thinking a few lines
from Tecunrjeh will be acceptable to
you, I take the liberty to write.
This is Thursday. Last Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning there
came a plenteous rain in thi3 region,
which makes old mother earth nearly
flap her wings for joy; and makes
the farmer lift his head degrees above
drooping posture a week ago.
The propect for a bountiful harvest
is very much brightened.
Corn looks well ; wheat and oats
were unquestionably shortened by
the drought, though it was not se
vere. All things considered we have
great reason to be thankful. It is
moved and seconded, that some of
our good preachers, (who have so
much faith,) by prayer and faith,
bring rain in due time, and thus
avoid another drought. Carried.
A good deal of excitement is crea
ted in nnr town, bv the return of
-- - . , ,
Sheriff Bryant, who brought Albert
Daud, one of the parties indicted at
our late session of Johnson county
court for stealing horses.
Daud was lodged in jail at Nebras
ka City. Upon his testimony, Mr.
John Townsend was arrested on a
warrant from justice Holden; and
deputies were despatched for other
parties.
Senior Work, in company with
deputy Faux, are off for Kansas iu
search for Bert Smith and stolen
clothing. Suspicion rests heavily on
others hitherto considered Innocent.
Some pretty tall guessing is being
done here, and if people dont pray
much, there is at presont a good deal
of watching. Exwiyueleoncm. Ho

Jf ARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.
The attention of scientific men and
capitalists is being directed to narrow
gauge railroads In such a vajT as will
lead to the thorough testing of their
economy, feasibility, and general ad
vantages. A moments observation
will teach U3 that the present system
is costly, wasteful, and dangerous,
and any other system which proposes
to lessen or remove these evils is en
tiilled to a candid investigation.
A narrow gauge will certainly cost
less in its construction, because the
road bed will be narrower, the bridg
es and culberts lighter, and the tics
shorter, and as the size of the cars
and engines will be correspondingly
reduced, the size of the rails will also
be reduced proportionally. The roll
ing stock will also be made smaller
and will cost less. This much is cer
tain, and if it is proved that a narrow
gauge road is capable of answering all
the requirements of trade and travel
on a given route, there would seem to
be no valid reason why it should not
be adopted.
It is asserted that a road of three feet
guage can be built and equipped at
about one-third the cost of a wide
gauge road, that it can be operated at
one-half the expense and kept in re
pair at less than half the expense of a
wide gauge road, and in addition that
greater safety is the result.
A railroad should be built so as to
answer the purpose in view and
when it accomplishes that all extra
expense beyond is a waste in the be
ginning and an investment of capital
to lie idle afterwards. Very few of
our railroads have business enough to
keep their rolling stock employed to
its full capacity, and none of them
keep their rolling stock in motion so
as to keep the track employed one
half the time it would be possible to
employ it.
The true problem is to ascertain
just what the present and a probable
future demand for trade and trans
portation is, and the railroad can be
built to meet the demand. If a three
foot gauge and its equipments will an
swer all purposes, it is foliy to quad
ruple the expense by building a six
foot gauge.
In the older States which have
roads of the ordinary gauge already,
narrow gauges are suggested for feed
ers. In a country like Illinois which
has no material of which to construct
common roads they are suggested as
feasible for the purpose of giving
townships and isolated towns easy ac
cess to market, aud if they can be
shown to be available forgeneral pur-,
poses for through lines, they may be
eventually adopted for that purpose.
Their cheapness is certainly a great
recommendation, and that very
thing may suggest to our over-taxed
western towns how they may liave
railroads, and, at the same time, es
cape from the clutches of greedy cor
porations and monopolies.

A special from Washington says the
process of obtaining witnesses before
the Ku-Klux meeting is found much
less difficult than was apprehended.
The matter of subpoening witnesses
from the most remote regions of the
country requires only a few hours,
and, as a consequence, the committee
is obtaining a vast mass of important
and pertinent testimony, which will
be ready for submission to Congress
immediately upon its assenjibly.
There has not yet been a jingle in
stance where witnesses bay.ebe.en tel

"Tvno is niRAjrw. Parkers
Editor Advertiser: The youthful
stranger that presides over the desti
nies of the Brownville Democrat
wants light. He asks :
"Who is Hiram W.. Parker? We
see he has been appointed register of
the land office at Beatrice. We ad
dress our question directly to Hon. P.
W. Hitchcock: Who is Hiram W.
Parker?"
Supposing that the question is ask
ed In good faith, I will give the de
sired information. Mr. Parker came
to Nebraska in 1857, and settled in
what was then Clay county, he after
wards removed to Seward county,
where he built a saw and grist mill,
and where he has-since resided. He
represented Gage and other counties
in the Legislature, as early as 1SG0.
He now represents Seward county in
the Constitutional Convention. It
will be seen that Hiram W. Parker
is neither a "scalawag," nor a "carpet-bagger,"
but that he is one of the
pioHeers of Nebraska, and a promi
nent citizen of the Blue river valley.
When Mr. Parker lived In Clay and
Gage counties he traded in Brown
ville, aud is well known to all of the
old business men in this place. Had
Bro. Calhoun asked Theodore Hill,
John L. Carson, John McPherson,
Robert Teare, or any of the old set
tlers of Brownville, he would have
received prompt answers to his ques
tion of "who is Hiram W. Parker?"
I would recommend the youthful
specimen of chivalry, that runs the
Democratic party in Nemaha county,
to quietly asR the old settlers of his
own party, for iiiformation concern
ing persons whom lib does not know.
This will be much better than rush
ing in print with questions, and
thereby expose his ignorance of af
fairs in
Nkbraska.
Browxville, Neb., June 19.
Ed. Advertiser: Having enjoyed a
very pleasant visit of about two weeks'
in your young and growing city, I am
now abont to return to ray home, iu
Ohio, and I wish to use your paper as
a medium through which to tender
my thanks to your citizens generally
for their uniform kindness and cour
tesy to me. The disposition manifes
ted by each and every person that I
came in contact with, to impart in
formation to mo on every subject,
was not only apparent, but I must
say rarely equaled and never excell
ed. I feel it my duty to designate
certain ones with whom circumstan
ces happened to throw mo in con
met, that granted me especial
favors and allowed me more than or
dinary kindness. Mr. Calhoun, of the
Democrat office, and yourself have
put me under many obligations to
each of yon, and for your kindness,
you will each long be remembered
by me even if I can never do any
thing in return. Capt. H. O. Min
ick, at a busy season, not only lost
his time, but furnished a team and
traveled for miles with me over your
beautiful prairies in the western part
of your county, and I enjoyed the
hospitality .of his pleasant country
home. Mr. E. M. Lipsey and lady
have also extended to me like favors,
and I entertain the hope that I can
some day reciprocate. The pleasant
interviews I have had with Dr. Mc
Pherson, Mr. Gilmore, Judge Rey
nolds, Mr. Cecil, and a host of others
that memory and space will not ad
mit of my naming, will be as lasting
with me as time. As to your country
I have no language to express my
admiration of it. It so far excelled
my most sanguine hopes that I con
fess I am lost for descriptive power.
There is nothing but a sacred pledge
and a tender regard for an aged moth
er that would long keep me from be
ing one among you.
Let me say in conclusion, that you
any your citizens generally, shall
ever be remembered by me, and that
if it is possible for me in any way to
do anything in return I shall esteem
it a great pleasure.
Very Truly Yours,

VALIiAXDICHAM'S LAST SE5TI
3IK"TS. CiN'CiNXATr, June 17.
The Times and Chronicle this even
ing publishes "an Inttrview had be
tween Mr. Vallandigham and one of
its editors, on Weddesday, in which
Mr. V. said there can be no more po
litical campaigns fought on issues of
the past few years. They are dead,
and if the Democratic party refuses
to move to the front to accept the new
order of things, it will simply pass
away, and some other party made up
of earnest progressive element of both
the old parties will take possession of
the government. When asked if he
did not think the campaign of '72
would be fought on present issues, he
said It may be undertaken by our par
ty but it will fail. A year ago Grant
gave promise of his intention to lead
the Republican parti' into a new de
parture, aud he would have done it
but a gang of old politicians at Wash
ington held him back and scared him
with gabble about defeat, until he
went square back into tho old ruts.
Grant is an honest man, and would
do right if politicians would let him,
but that thp3' do not want 10 do. He
took the back track on the San Do
mingo question, in which, apart from
the corrupt means used, he was clear
ly right. 1 tell you, sir, annexation
of territory and the control of all the
outlying fragments of the continent,
is me uesuuy oi me .American peo
ple, we snau nave sun Uomingo,
and Cuba, and Mexico, and all the
rest; mark that. We missed the
greatest chance we ever had, in not
getting Cuba during the Spanish
troubles. We could have had it then
for the mere asking, and in a few
years we would have been owners of
the richest and most productive part
of territory in the world. Why, they
used to talk about me and call me a
bisunionist. I tell you, sir, earnestlj'
and honestly, that I never was a dis
unionist; that I always did believe,
aud now believe, that this union will
be perpetual, and extended until it
embraces the continent.
His denial of disunion views Mr.
V. repeated, with marked emphasis,
in reply to a remark of his interroga
tor, that he could not see now the ha
tred exhibited towards him by the
dead cause, Democracy, in that par
ty. He smiled and said: "Why,
what can I do; the Republican party
won't move forward, it wants to stick
to its old clothes, and my best hope is
to get the Democracy to push to the
front. However, there is no telling
what three hundred and sixty-five
days may bring forth ; and of one
thing I am certain": if the Democrat
ic party fails to become the party of
progress and advanced ideas, and I,
from conscientious convictions, de
cide to act with any other political
party, that other political party will
never stop to inquire what my past
political record has been. Parties
don't manage things in that way."
