victory.
Uettixg. Some of our Democratic
friends newly fledged Dem6crats
.are heavy on propositions to bet mon
ey on the election of Horace. We
saw a man in Omaha the other day
who told us that he lost $3,000 through
Douglas' defeat, and ho wanted to
make it up by betting on Greeley. VTe
saw another who told us he lost $3,000
through Gen. Scott's defeat, and he
was going to make it up through
Greelej'. There never was an elec
tion for President since tho days of
Jackson that millions of money has
not been lost in betting. Tho prac
tice is a bad one, has no argument in
it, nnd should bo frowned down by
every man not a professional gambler.
A better opportunity to make money
by betting was never offered than is
now presented to the adherents of
rGraut, but the adherents of Greeley
.vill feel bad enough in November
without being relieved of their mon
ey. Pomeroy's Democrat for July Gth is
before us, in which we find four col
umns of letters published in small
type, written by Democrats who will
not support Greeley, as also several
columns of extracts from Democratic
papers, the editors of which decline
being handed ov?r lo tho corruption
ists, who, to secure office, bartered
principle and signed a bond of deliv
ery of their party to Horace Greeley,
I3elmont, Tweed & Co.
Judgo Davis and Governor Palmer
-have declined the Labor Reform nom
inations in favor of Greeley aud
Brown. Nebraska dig Ifcws.
Inasmuch as the above named gen
tlemen in their letters of declination,
said nothing about Greeley and
Brown, tho above reminds us of what
Josh Billings says, "Better not know
30 much, than to know so much that
isn't so."
The New York Evening Post, says
that Greeley's nomination, " if worth
anything, is only valuable to Demo
crats as a last desperate attempt to
cavo-their party from dissolution."
Just so. How do our Republican
friends who have joined the broken
firiborts of the Democracy like Bry
ant's picture of themselves?

tlemen in or out of Peru, was in the

went on last JNtturuaj. - 'i l,,c ;
pleasure of meeting the General, (with j
r a . i ' i tAiT-ift
whom we have been acquainted since
ISoO, when he was a member of the

last Friday, and he then promised us
that if he did speak in. Nebraska,.
Brown ville would he on? of his points.
He also promised to give us timely no
tice, by telegraph, as to when he will
be here. This will be pleasing intel
ligence to all who desire to hear the
best stump-?peaker in the Union, and
one of the ablest expounders of tho
Republican faith extant,
The Gen. will probably, bo here a

James I). Vi'righi, of Chariton, j0
v.a, an agent of the Burlington &
Jliscouri r. 11., Co., was in dir city
last veek, lookiiig over tho ground,
and in consultation with our rait-road
men., with reference to a Ivoad from
lace west.
It is now a fixed fact that there Is
to be a concentration of Eastern It
:i
R. enterprises touching the Missouri ,
River opposite this city. " There will
be an immediate ofLer for a Western
outlet. Mr. Yv right was looking to
the getting hold of tho Brown ville &
Fort Kearney 11
of a Road ovsi
It., or tho building'
si new route, viz. :
.-.! -:
i irom JJrov, nvilie in. .wiuiiit. n,
and to Table Rock, in Pawnee Coun
ty. Tlie latter idea seemed to be th--prominent
wie with Mr. W. lie has
returned to make a favorable report
in relation to the enterprise, and oth
er It. R. men may be expected here
shortly, with authority to talk busi
ness with our people. This is a feasi
ble project, and one our R. R. men
have given attention to heretofore.
The Democratic papers cf tho coun
try arejubilating over the fact that
the .N Y. World and Louisville(Ky.)
Ledger have hoisted the Greeley and
U row n flag. The World says Gree
ley cannot be elected, and that at
present it has no other candidate to
support, and while it cannot endorse
Greeley it "will not sustain Grant. As
to the Ledger we clip the fo. lowing
special dispatch from last Sunday's
Missouri Rnnihllian, (a leading Gree
ley paper.) which is of the same ten
or as tho World's position :
Louisville, July 13.
Tho Ledger this afternoon came out
for the Baltimore ticket. Col. Jus.
A. Dawson .-aj's in his editorial that
he can't defend Greeley's record or
approve the platform, but will sup
port the nominees as the bst that can
be done under tiie circumstances.
The jury in tho Stokes case failed
to agree, and were discharged. "What
mockery of justice. His murdering
of Fisk was cool and wanton in the
extreme, and he should have been
hung up to the nearest lamp-post and
tried afterwards. Even the jury
which acquitted him admitted that
from their investigation of the mur
dered man's clothes. Fisk when shot,
had his arms enveloped in his milita
ry cloak. The trial of a man for
muder in Xew York is a farce, unless
the murderer be some vulgar fellow,
without money or friends.
Horace Greeley has boasted for
years that his highest ambition was to
destroy the Democratic party. Xow
that he is its nominee for the Presi
dency, no reasonable do.d.t can exist
that he will reach the apex of his
laudable ambition, and next Novem
ber can die happy.
Tho fees on P. O. money orders
have been reduced. On sums of ten
dollars or le33 they will be five cents.
Xo change in sums above that
amount.

Striate in vituperative debate, and
who, by parliamentary tactics, defeat
ed much u?efnl legislation in the
Hou.-o, the legislation accomplished
during the last session is important
and satisfactory.

with various other progressive and
j beneficient measures, failed to receive

of time and opportunity; but it is
nevertheless true, and a careful exam
ination of the record ena'-ler. us to
testify, that the icts which did be
come laws are judicious and in accor
dance with the iv form and progress
ive tendencies of tlie Repub iean par
ty. In fact, since 18'jl, there have
been pl-ict-d upon the statute books
more act- solely and exclusively for
the bonetit of the masiis of our peo
ple than had been enacted .since the
foundation of the government.
Tin-: UKDrcTio?:
0I-' TAXATION.
these beneficent
Foremost among
measures we place tiie various acts
which are designed to reduce taxa
tion to the amount of fifty-live mil
lions of dollars per year. Among
these is the act repealing tlie duty
on tea and coffee, both of which are
necessaries of life. The duty on these
articles would have amounted this
year to very nearly twenty millions
of dollars. As tea and coffee are Used
by nearly all families, the absence of
taxation will result in a direct saving
to the masses; and since a much
greater proportion of the mechanic's
and laborer's earnings are expended
in the purchase of these articles than
the professional classes expend for
similar objects, the benefits accruing
are much greater to the man of ordi
nary circumstances than the rich.
Tlie tariii" act makes also a very
considerable reduction on other ar
ticles of prime necessity. There is a
reduction on bituminous coal; the
duty on salt is reduced to eight cents
per hundred pounds, when
imported
in bulk, and to twelve cc.n..
i
imported in sacks. Tho lumber most
generally used for building and fenc
ing is taxed only one dollar per thou
sand feet; laths, fifteen cents per
thousand ; shingles, thirty-five cents
per thousand ; and chip boards are
taxed two dollars pr thousand feet.
The reduction of duties on coal, salt,
and lumber enures to the direct bene
fit of farmers and mechanics, and in
the aggregate will make a verv con
siderable (inference in their expendi
tures. Jn addition to these special reduc
tions a general reduction has been
made of ten per cent, on all cotton,
tobacco, nnd woolen goods, and also,
on all manufactures composed of iron
and steel; also, on India rubber,
glass ware, china ware, &c. In fact,
on all articles which can, by the most
liberal aciHiuv.';:."!, be classed as
neces-aries of life, a reduction of ten
per cent., or more, has been made.
In addition to the.e ppeeial .reduc
tions of duties, about four hundred
articles have been placed on the free
list. Nearly all t he articles that en
ter into our manufactures or that are
not produced in the United States,
and where the aggregate duties are
less than a hundred thousand dollars
per year, have now been placed on
the free list. Prominent among these
are hides, dried, salted, and pickled,
and the free introduction of these
from South America, where cattle are
chiefly raised for the use of their
hides, will, no doubt, cheapen the
price of leather, which is another
necessary of life, and stimulate our
cammerce with the South American
Republics. A great number of the
articles which were places! on the
free list are necesary to the produc
tion of other manufactures, and by
cheapening these the producer will be
enabled to compete more successfully
with the foreign importer. Taxation
is so intimately woven together that
x reduction 111 the price of a conipar-
atively small .rtic! may affect the
prices cf main' manufactures
Among the three or four hundred
articles placed on the free list, we
quote as specimens : round logs, fa
rina, macaroni, and sago, paper stock
and rags of every description, bed
feathers, tin in bars, whale bones,
yeast cakes, bologna sausages, saur
kraut, vc.
Internal revenue taxation has also
been greatly diminished and the ma
chinery for the collection of internal
revenue taxes has been simplified.
Taxes on malt and spirituous liquors,
en tobacco in all forms, at:d to some
small extent, a stamp tax, are all the
internal revenue taxes now levied
both the income tax and all special
taxes, known as license taxes, having
been abolished. The tax on beer is
one dollar for thirty-one gallons, and
on spirits seventy cents per gallon.
The tax on spirits has bpon raised
from sixty to seventy cents in lieu of
all other taxes and gaguer's fees, and
constitutes a consolidation of ail taxes
on spirits into one, which was desired
by the distillers, and which is also
economical to the Government The
tax on all manufactured tobacco, plug
tobacco, snuff and cigar.-, is twenty
cents per pound, and stamps are now
only necessary for instruments of
considerable value, the minor taxes
having been repealed. Thus it will
be seen that our nation, already pros
perous beyond any other, owing to its
increase of population, and the steady
reductions of the public debt which
have already taken place, will shortly
experience a very great diminution of
Federal taxation, this will enable
every head of a family in our land to
purchase more ot the comlorts of two
for a less proportion of the proceeds of
a da3''s labor than has been the case
since IStlO.
HOMESTEADS FOR SOLDIERS.
A very important act entitled "An
act to enable honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors, their widows and
orphan children to acquire home
steads," has become a law ; and it is
singular that this important act has
attracted so little of public attention.
Under the present homestead law a
settler must make some permanent
improvements on the land, and re
main thereon for five years before he
can secure a title.
This act provides that the entire
time which a soldier or sailor may
have served in the war shall be deduc
ted from that term ; and if an- soldier
or sailor shall have been honorably
discharged on account of disability
or wounds, the entire term of his en- j
listmont shall he deducted. The wnl-
ow ot such soldier ana sauoc, n mar-,
ried, may alo have the same ueneiit .
of the deduction, as if her husband I
sstil! lived, and should.she he married,
and there are minor children
from
the first marriage, these minor chil
dren are entitled to the benent of the
term of service of their father.
A number of land sharks were anx
ious to procuring the issue of land
.scrip to soldiers generally without the
condition ot any settlement whatev
er, but this would have been a verv
great evil, because the land crin
would have been sold ali.o-t instant
ly for a few dollars, whilelhe ,
would have 'een located ' ' ,a .
dent capitalists a"- -o non-rc'i-lai'n-e
comi"U"- -jU speculators in

,,. '' -o speedy settlement ot tlie e.4-
-iii .pmtes ami Territories, and m-crc-asing
the evils of lasid monopoly.
Congress, in the interest of tlie soldieis
aud the sailors, and of our we?tern
States, provided that actual settle-
' uient should ho requisite lor obtain-
die.o may have free liomts m pref
Jrence to any other da:, of citizens
T1IB 3nxiXG lands to p.k sold.
J " ?f ?f?at"
eSl itnportance is the act entitled "An
:icc io promote the mining resources
of the rimed States." Hitherto the
government has refused to part with
thepubliudomain containing precious
metals on any terms, and the conse
quence has been that in onr mining

ACTS FOR TIIK JJKXKMT OF Till:
SOLDIER.
Two acts have been passed one pro
hibiting the retention uf soldiers dis -
charges by claim agents and attorneys
and other persons, under any pretext
whatsoever; and another providing
for a system of deposits for soldiers in
the regular army. This latter act
provides that any soldii rs may cause
an allotment to be made of his month
ly l'a.v nf Jt five dollars or more, and
that as soon as the sum reaches fifty
($o0) dollars four per cent, interest
will be paid thereon. The govern
ment, therefore, becomes a savirurs
hank for the soldier, and the money
thus saved cannot be forfeited for any
cause, except that of desertion ; nor
can it be garmsheen or retained, and
must be given up at the exniration of
the term of enlistment
I5ETTER lMtOTECTION OF SKAMEX.
Among the best considered and
most beneficient acts of tiie last Con
gress is the act known as the "Com
missioners cMUDping inn." it nro-
whatsoever to winch sailors are sub
jected. It is a measure that seeks to
provide adequate remedies, and will,
if can led out in its beneficient spirit,
protect the children of the sea, who
are so careless of themselves and their
earnings, when on shore, from tlie ra
pacity of land-sharks and shipping
agents. They are also enabled, by al
lotments, to secure to their families
regular payments of a portion of thvir
wages.
THE ACT TO SECURE PURITY OF
ELECTIONS.
A number of attempts were made
to take from the Speaker's table, in
the House, the bill which was fal-ely
entitled "the enforcement acf" The
revolutionary proceedings on the part
of the minority defeated this purpose,
and the Senate finally engrafted an
amendment iip'n the miscellaneous
appropriation bill which, in part, pro
vides against the commission ot" elec
tion frauds.
'the amendment-, in puhptnnen, nm-
vines tiT.-ir, at ine request 01 ten 01
more citizens, the United States dis
trict judge may appoint two commis
sioners of election one from each po
litical party who must be voters at
the precinct where they are stationed,
and they will have the right to be
present from the opening lo the close
of the polls, including the final count
ing of tlse ballots.
They have not the power of chal
lenge, nor of commitment, and are
limply witnesses. We can nt perceive
why tin Democratic minority rei.-tcd
witli such fierceness and pertinacity
the clothing 01 these c-mmi-ioners;
with the powgr of challenge, and the
interposition in case of fraud, unless
they intend to profit by the falsifica
tion of election returns. As the ex
ercise of the right of suffrage is the
basis of our Republican institutions,
so the purity of the ballot box is tho
only guarantee of their perpetuity.
If there is one political right more
sacred and all-importat.t than any
other, it is the security of the suffrage.
If by fraud and falsification the suf
frages of honest citizens are overcome,
and tlie thieves and rogues, who al
ready constitute a large minority of
the land, thereby attain a seeming
majority, the republic is necessarily
ruined.
The Democrats have not the slight
est excuse for resisting this mea-siire,
which was soiefy in the interest of
the purity of elections; Neither
members of Congress nor Presidential
electors are State officers. A Presi
dential election is a national election,
and cheating in Texas is of as vital
importance to the citizen of M-i:ne as
if the train! had been com mitt... there.
Inasmuch as the President is elected
by a minority of all the electoral votes
cast, and the destiny of the entire
country is confided to his care, all the
people in every Mate or the union
are alike interested tiiat in no particu
lar State frauds shall be committed,
and we hope that even- member who
by revolutionary parliamentary tac
tics resisted the enactment of the law
for the protection of the purity of the
ballot-box, will bo called to' an ac

The codification of the postal laws
was also a work of vast magnitude
and importance. The moneyrorder
system, which a few years ago began
with a few offices, has rapidly increas

five hundred additional offices will be
added, ine penny-postal card has :
also been adopted. Ibis will consti-

largely augment postal receipt. We sai
predict that millions of them will be
used in the course of a few years.

been so generously bestowed, will, no

The record is brave and honest;
and yet the opposition to ever- one of
the?c measures lias been uniform and
persistent, and if the Democratic mi
nority had been in the majority, the
'egisiation ot Congress woum ne
been solelv confined to the passage of
the appropriation bills, and the allow

hundred millions of dollars of trumped-up
claims, represented by skillful
and unscrupulous agents, are now
awaiting the triumph of that minori
ty, so that it may wring from the
sweat of Northern men's brows what
the rebels could not take from their
stalwart arms. There are, no doubt,
honest claims that ought to be speed

the army, and every seaman, marine,
1 and officer of the navy, who served
for not less than ninetv
days 111 the

"during the rebellion,"' ami who was
honorably discharged, and has re
mained loyal to tho Government, to
enter under thc provisions of tho
person shall reside upon, improve
and cultivate his homestead for a pe
riod of, at least, one year after he
hhall commence his improvements,
ft is required that the period (wheth
er one year or more) of actual resi
dence, improvement and culivation
that may bo found necessrry to per
fect each case of entry under this act
shall follow immediately upon tho
date of entry.
3d. That any pprsnn entitled to the
benefit of this act, nnd who has here
tofore made a homestead entry of less
timn ono hundred and sixty acres,
may enter under this act an additional
quanity of html contiguous to the
first entry, which shall make in the
aggregate ono hundred and sixty
acres.
4th. That the widow, if unmar
ried, or in case of her death or mar
riage, then the niinororphan children
of a person who wotild be entitled to
the benefits of this act, may enter
lands under its provisions, with the
Iitional privilege acconieu, tnat 11
the person died during his term of
enlistment, the widow, or minor
children, should have the benefit of
tlie whole term of enlistment.
oth. That where a person may
heretofore have made an entry under
the homestead Jaws while in the Uni
ted States military or naval service, or
before enteringsuch service, the time
of service shall be equivalent to a res
idence for the same length of time
noon the tract so entered : Provided,
That the party shall show at least one
year's continued residence upon, and
improvement and cultivation of the
tract. Tho law also reinstates such
entries as may have been canceled be
cause of the party's absence from
the land while in the military or na
val service, provided the land ha3 not
been disposed of. And where it has
been disposed of, the statute authoriz
es another entry and the application
to the second entry of the proofs
touching his residence nnd improve
ment on tCe first tract.
Gth. That any person entitled to
the benefit of this act may tile his
claim for a tract of land through an
agent, and shall have six months
thereafter within which t- make his
entry and conimmuuce his settlement

The Inst section of the act author
izes the Commissioner of the General
Land Office "to make all needful
rules and regulations to carry into ef
fect the provisions" of the act.
Therefore, when application shall be
made to enter a tract of land under
the provisions of thi3 act, you will
permit

immediate entry to be made ; but if
the party so elects, he may file a dec
laration to the effect that ho claims' a
specified tract of land as his home
stead, and that he takes it lor actual
settlement and cultivation. These
statements you will enter upon your
records, and report in an abstract as
homestead declarations, commencing
the aeries with number one.
Thereafter, and at any time within
six months from the date of said dec
laiation, you will allow the principal
to make, in the usual manner, a
homestead entry of the tract. These
entries you will report with your reg
ular series of homesteads, using, how
ever, the forms hereto attached.
Should the party present his declara
tion through an agent, as authorized
by the fifth section, said agent must
produce a duly executed power of at
tornov trom tlie principal desiring to
make the entry, who will be bound
by the selectiou his agent makes, the
same as though made by himself.
' Failure on the party of principal to
make entry ot tue tract hied upon by
himself, or agent, within six months I
from the date of said filing, will be !
recarded as an abandonment, and
will entail a forfeiture of all right to
said principal to tho benefits of this
act.

corded to him, but he may at once
make an entry of the land upon the
proofs necessary to show his right un
der the law.
3. Settlers whose entries have been
cancelled. The applicant must make
oath that he had made an entry while
in the military or naval service, or
prior to such service,, giving the date
of entry, and describing the tract of
land entered ; that he went upon or
returned to the land within six
mouths from the date of his discharge
from the service, and that his entry
was cancelled by reason of his ab
sence from the claim for more than
six months while in the United States
service. This affidavit you will tians
mit, with n report of'the condition
of your records, for the examination
of this office, when, if found correct,
and the land covered by the original
entry is "found to be undisposed ofj
the entry will be reinstated upon the
records, and the applicant allowed to
make proof that he had settled upon,
improved aud cultivated the tract,
which proof, if satisfactory, will en
title him to a patent. If the tracthas

to select another homestead, and tlie
proof of settlement and cultivation
of the first tract r.say be used by him
in proving his claim in tho second
entry. You will not, however, allow
any entry under this head except upon
instruct ions from this office.
5. Applicants for additional land.
Such persons will file their applica
tion for the tract desired, which must
he contiguous to the original homestead.
Tho entire tract must not exceed one
hundred and sixty acres, except in
the nature of an immaterial excess,
caused by the fractional character of
some subdivision of the public sur
veys, such as is not allowed in similar
cases. The application must be ac
companied by the prescribed evidence
of the military or naval service of the
applicant and of his right to the ben
efit of the law. An entry of addition

be used under this law, and you will
be careful to uso them in all cases
arising under it. In addition to these
forms you will require, when entries
aro made in the future,
1st. From original applicants, cer
tified copies of certificate of discharge,
showing when tho party enlisted and
when he was discharged, or, if these
cannot be procured, the satisfactory
evidence on these points.
2d. In case of widows, evidence of
military service of husband aud affi
davit of widowhood.
3d. In case of minor orphan chil
dren, in addition to tho evidence of
military service, proof of death or
marriage of tho mother. Evidence of
death, may be the testimony of
two witnesses or certificate of a phy
sician duly attested. Evidence of
marriage may be a certified copy of
marriage certificate, or of the record
of the same, or testimony of two wit
nesses to marriage ceremony.
The Register and Receiver will be
allowed to charge one dollar each for
receiving and filing theinitiatory dec
laration of the parties wherever they
exercise the privilege of first filing
such declaration, but you will take
care to- advise applicants that such
declaration is not necessary where
they first apply in person to make an
actual homestead entry. This fee the
Receiver will accountfor in the usual
manner, indicating the same therein
as fees for "homestead declarations,"
which will be charged against the
maximum of $",000 now allowed by
the law. In the States and Territo
ries, for which fifty pev centum ad
ditional is allowed by the sixth sec
tion of tho act of March 21, 1SG4, the
additional allowance 'will apply to the
fee herein named.
Should any doubt ariso in your
mind upon any point of the law," you
will promptly 'communicate with this
office and await instructions in tho
premises.

CHINESE INGEXriTY
How Tiicy Uid Themsel-res ofPoaclier
on Their Cabbage Garden.
From the MarysviHe (Oil.) Appeal.
A little incident was brought to our
notice a day or two since, which ill
nstratei the ingenuity of the Chinese
in a rather peculiar manner. "Mick
ey 3IcDaniels," as he is familiarly
called, owns a numberof geese, which
occasionally get in tho slough and
stray away to the Chinese vegetable
gardens which border this pleasant
pool. Doubtless thei would help
themselves to John's cabbage on these
predatory excursions, for it is well
known that the descendants of
Home's ancient preservers have a
fondness for this article. The plan
hit upon by John to prevent them
trom gratifying their natural propen
sities were ingenious and novel, and
remained undiscovered until a few
days since. Several geese belonging
to Mr. McDaniels had died, and no
reason could bo assigned for this
strange procedure on their part, for
they were fat and healthy, and a goose
is supposed to be a long-lived fowl.
But when they were driven up to be
picked the mystery was solved. Four
of the birds were found gaged in asin
gular manner and one which can
hardly be described. A ring of fine
wire, about two inches in circumfer
ence was found in the mouth 0 each ,
held their by being tnrned over the
top of the head and hooked in under
the feathers. The way it came there
is easily understood The Chinaman,
when making these rings, twisted
two ends of the wire together, turning
the end over, making quite a strong
hook. This was hung on a cabbatre
leaf or other vegetable, and left to j
wait for the coming of the victim. In
feeding the goose would strike its bill
down to pick up a tempting morsel,
and if ono part of the bill went in
side this loop its doom was sealed, for
the loop wonld by the force of the
blow be turned over the head of the
reckless bird, and the hook, of neces
sity, would fasten under the feathers
on" the top of the head. A few strug
gles of tho prisoned bird would draw
the fine wire under the feathers, out
of sight, and thus the bird would be
left unable to olose its bill. In this
condition, with its head held high in
air, it would run around in a circle
until exhausted. Even in being driv
en home and observed in that situa
tion, it would reqnire close inspection
to detect the oause of this strange pro
ceeding on the part ot the tortured
bird. Mr. McDaniels had Iot a large
number and only discovered the cause
accidentally, when engaged in pick
ing them. If any'one can produce a
more ingenious method of getting rid
of geese, without killling them out
right, we should like to bo informed
of tho mode of disposing of them.
We shall doubt the ingenuity of John
no longer, but indorse that famous
saving. "For ways that are dark, and
tricks that are vain, the heathen Chi-
nese ia peculiar."
