The-New York Herald thinks the new , Columbu3 party is like the Dutchman and the pig. It didn't weigh so much as expected, and "he always knew It wouldn't." .

A democratic paper in Ohio calls ittli"pizerink turn party," chiie the Dayton Journal thinks that under all the circumstances-it might be called "the other party." The Detroit Post probably hits the mark more-closely when it predicts that the election wiil furnish it with a name, tike prospect being fcbat it will' appear m the returns-as "scattering." m i m It is now ascertained" tlrat no cardi nal's hat will come to America, the pope having altered bis mind about creating auy. additional dignitaries of that sort. It has been understood and expected for some timepast that Arch bishop McClosky, of New York, was the man whpm his holiness was about to take delight in honoring, and large sums of money have been subscribed and.sent oyer just to keepPio Nono favorably disposed that way, was it has all cdtne to naught, and the friends of the archbishop will un doubtedly feel disappointed at the failure of their hopes. The Governor of Nebraska nowhere gives sucb proofs of his native vigor of mind as he does when writing leading articles for the Brownville 'Advertiser and short and stunning ones for the Lincoln Journal Print ing Company. We are indebted to a friend for a copy of the Omaha Herald contain ing the above. We do not exchange "with the Herald and rarely see a copy ofthat sheet, but Miller never loses an issue of the Advertiser. The ghost of the "Governor of Nebraska" is ubiquitous with the editor of the Herald. Whenever and wherever a newspaper in this State "hits" Miller in any way he imagines Furnas has "struck" him. Like Sut Lovingood's dog, he looks for a rock from every direction, "Rest, perturbed soul, rest." 'MATERIA! FACTS.' Church doesn't publish tho State JournaVs denial of his charges, but falsely says that the Jonrnal "admits all the material- facts to be true." Now the chief allegation, the basfrof fete charge, was that Gov. Furnas gave the Lincoln Journal the print ing of the State Agricultural Report and that he was one of the Auditing Committee, Now the- Journal tells Mr. Chunk, what Mr. Church be fore knew, via: that Gov. Furuag did not give the printing of the State Ag ricultural Report to the Jonrnal, that the Governor had no more to do with is than the Governor of Kansas. As" required by law he simply make9 h annual report, as President of the State Board of Agriculture, to the Legislature. There his whole- con nection with the matter ceases. The Legislature disposes of the printing under provisions of law. The rates for printing are by contract to the lowest bidder and the accounts are audited by the State Auditor. The Governor has nothing in the world to do with it, and Jarvis ' S. Church knows it. Again the Journal never filed its account and then withdrew it, as charged, nor did Auditor Weston iu timate any dissatisfaction. Two pret ty "material facts." Mr. Weston has been out of the State for months and knows nothing about the matter with which Miller and Church are so con versant. (?) He says the Journal admits that Mr. Redfield was sent for to estimate rthe work. The Journal denies it. but "snys that Redfield being in the city on private business was requested to estimate the work and he did so and that the discrepancy was but about twelve dollars. Hesays the Journal expresses its readiness to put in "a bill for the Ag ricultural reportf disconnected with the bill for the other report printed by the Advertiser.!' The Journal said nothing about the report printed by the Advertiser. The Report we printed was givenus by theHorticul- tural Society, through its Secretary J. T. Allan, aud paid for out of the So ciety funds, and the Journal has no interest whatever in the matter, and never filed a bill for its printing. We submit that the above are "ma terial facts" which have been mate rially and wilfully misrepresented. OUR COMPLIMENTS TO IV. A. POL- OCK. Three weeks si nee a communication written by an old time friend appear ed in these columns, commenting pretty severely upon the conduct oW the old settlers of Omaha, as exhibit ed by thatclass during the pendency of the Furnas-Herald. libel suit. W. A. Polock (which is post-master) seizes upon said communication, attributes it to our pen, and from- the scavenger vehicle across the way, throws filth at us. He eays scarcely ga Issue of this pa per "but what there are bneers at the old settlers of Nebraska." This idea is the product of a diseased imagina tion, and we challenge its confirma tion by our files. We entertain no envious feelings toward the old set tlers and never gave expression to any such. He complains that we were chosen as a member of the County and State Central Committees ovej the heads of old settlers. We have only to say that we were so chosen by old settlers and not at our solicitation. Were our own interests consulted we would much prefer aot serving on either, especially the latter, as it is an expen sive compliment. As for the honor we had a surfeit of it before comiug to Nebraska. He says we have denominated good Republicans as "sore heads.'' Will he please tell us who we so denomin ated aside from those who bolted the party, and thus ceased to be Republicans? He says we have denounced men of thi county as sore heads who will be good Republicans when we will have been in some other party so long thai we shall have forgotten that we ever belonged to the Republican party. We have been a Republican'since the formation of the part-, as we can eight years while Furnas had lived here upwards of seventeen. Those who live here twelve years should not seek office until all who have lived here thirteen years had died. But our reader should know the animus which governed in the indit ing of W. A. Polock's letter. Some time last May we were presented a pe tition to the powers that be in Wash ington, praying for the appointment of Mrs. Ebright a postmistress, and being" told that Mr. Pu!ocIcra term had expired, without entertaining any feeling otherthan the kindest foi4 Mr. P., we signed the petition, It hav ing previously been signed by "old settlers."" On the 17th day of May we received a letter from Mr. Polock threatening us with the weight of his influence and indignation if we did not retract. We still possess said let ter and challenge Mr. Polock to per mit us to publish it. Not being de signed for publication we do not feel warranted In publishing it without consent. We do not desire to have any war with Mr. Polock or other Republican. We have no ammunition to waste in the ranks of our fiarty. If he desires to amuse the enemy by lift ing his scalp and showing his reeking head, let him do so. We will show our wounds to friends not enemies, and trust P.'s better judgment will prevail and he will cease his bemoan ing. m t m NORMAL TEACHER'S INSTITUTE. Ashland, Neb., Aug. 13; '73. Edit or .Nebraska Advert Jsqr. The Normal Teachers' Institute ap pointed by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, met here on Monday, August, 11th, and will con tinue two weeks. More than fifty teachers are in regular attendance. The spirit pervading the iustitute 4s most admirable. Prof. S. R. Thomp son, of the University, 13 assisting in. the work of instruction. He has classes in arithmetic and elocution. Prof McKeuzie presides and has a class in botany. Miss Kate DJcker man, of tho Normal, has charge of music and gymnastics. I have class-' es in practical lauguage and in school economy. Other classes in geogra phy, grammar, &c, will be organized. The design is to give to the teachers present a practical drill in the best methods of teaching all the branches which the arp required to teach in the common schools. Those who are present seem to be enjoying the work very much, and I think all will be gieatlj' profited by the Instruction, study, discussion, comparison of views aud lectures. The citizens of Ashland take a live ly interest in the proceedings, and are. -bowing cheerful hospitality to those in attendance from abroad. The cause of education in the Stafe would be very much benefitted by h ddiug such meetings in every city aud village. Ashland is a beautiful village, situ ated on both banks of Scott Creek, a clear, beautiful stream,, in Saunders county, on the O. & S. W. R. R.. twenty-three miles from Lincoln. It has a population of a thousand peo ple, a twelve thousand dollar school house, four churches, two newspapers, a bank, a grain elevator, &c., &c. It is my good fortune to be domi ciled with Rev. Farwell, the Congre gationalist Clergyman. A model New England house, education, for eign travel, politeness, quietness, and I know not how' many other good things combine to render t a restful place, and us nearly us cuu be, recon cile me to absence from my own dear home. The longer I live the more I appre ciate tho sweetness and the wortli of home life. An intelligent, christian home is nearest like heaven of all places n earth. There is no greater oiessing mar- can ue nesioweo upon our young State than to transplant em Illinois, the actfcft of the Canadi an buyers, who are takiugcorn byfne million bushels in Chicago, appears to bo far-sighted and 'accurate. The shipments of corn out "of that city lastv(eek amounted to-nearly 2,000, 000 bushels-,, and 580,000 bushels were shipped out yesterday., In Bbort,- the probabilities for better prices for corn are flattering. We clip the above from the Missou ri Democrat of the I4tb. So far as it relates to Nebraska ffe- ts, calumnious and calculated to work injury to the State. As in all the years paBtthere are flattering and discouraging- fields of corn, but the average yield will not fall short of that of any of the best corn years of the past. That our farmers "refuse to sell at fifty cents per bushel" willrbe news to our corn producers. They are bringing it into this market by lots of eight and ten car loads per day, for 18 and 20 ceuts. The season has been unusually dry, but, contrary to the ruling opinion East of us, Nebraska soil, will stand drouth. We fancy that Capt. Nan son traveled through Nebraska as he traveled through this county, on a steamboat. At all events he is "as much mistaken us though be burued a hole in his pocket." From the Rock Port Express. FATAL RENCONTRE. P. G. Morgan Attacks Col. A. B. Durfee aud la Killed. . Last Wednesday P. G. Morgan an old citizen and farmer from near So uora, was iu town and having some business in the-oftiee of Durfee, Mc Killop AvCo., went there and soon af ter occurred uu affair that for the past fourteen hours has been all the topic of conversation THE KILLING. Mr. Morgan commenced a very abu sive conversation, Mes-sers Durfee & McKillop being the parties alluded to and they -with MoYgan,. being the on ly persons present. Finally Morgan Col. d h addressed his Durfee direct, puppy and a d following the epithets conversation to calling him a d ds 11 of a b up by grab bing his. Durfee's neck. At thisjunc ture Mr. McKillop rushed forward to separate the two, but be'ore he reach ed them Col. Durfee, in his attempt to looben the terrible grip upon his thrpat, picked up a notary seal and struck Morgan almost on the top of his head. Morgan dropped, and in dropping fell headlong out of the office door, the back of his head strik ing the stone steps. col. durfee's conduct, after this was highly commendable whatever even. Morgan' friends may think of the deed, otherwise. He im mediately came down the street in search of physicians. Dr. Munsell was summoned, later Dr. Snow, still late??Dr. Whitmire, and later yet a carrier was dispatched some miles for Dr. Tracy, while two of the best out fits In the stables were sent post haste for the family of the. man who was now dying. Everything that could be done was,dqne promptlv and cheer fully by Col. Durfee. The striking occurred at 5 o'clock p. m. and at 1 a. m. Morgan's spirits ha gone toils Maker, his family having arriyed a fow minutes before. THE CAUhE of the difficulty was, as we are told as follows : Durfee & MrKillop held an execution against Mr. Morgun, for their, client- J. F. Copr & Brother, lumber dealers here. Morgan went to see if MfdSM Durfee & McKillop proposed to enforce it and upon being informed that they did be commen ced the ab'i-e above stated. Col. Dur fee was sitMng at his desk and after repeated epithets told Mr. Morgan, pleasantly, that it Was all right, he cared nothinir for his passionate almse and requested him to leave the ouTee. THE FEELING. The Beatrice JZcprcss in a late Issue announces an important and valua ble discovery at that place, made in prospecting for coal. It is that of an inexhaustible mine of cement rock. The Express says : "A test made of cement rock exist ing in Roper's and Hag3''s quarries just east of town, shows it to be the best article that has been found this side of Louisville, Ky.,and can deter mine, it is proved to be equal to the Louisville orRosedale cement. Mr. O. C. Campbell, a practical cement man of Omaha, is now here prospect fug, to see how extensive the deposi- vvuen it is rememoereti lino is. and. that none at all is made on the Pacific coast, it will be seen how important thia discovery Is. Lnter. The result of the prospect ing above referred ta establishes the fact that the cement rook exists in in exhaustible quantities A company has been organized composed of Oma ha and Beatrice men, whawili pro ceed to work &t oaeej prove by our paper files, while "old settlers"' inform us that our accuser JohnBonlzed in 1SG6. We have every where and at all times been true to the party flag, fought for it when de feat enshrouded it, and before post or other offices were filled by its defend ers. And since the party came into power we have never sought office under it. though we have many strong friends whose influence we could eas ily secure and whose position would enable them to favor us. But we have no taste for office seeking or holding, and none need be fearful that we will crowd old settlers in the race for posi tion. Wherein have we offended as a Re publican or Republican editor? We have supported the every nominee of our party, and-will do so in the. fu ture though each and all of them be ""old settlers" of the jealous type of w. a. roiocK. can our accuser say as much ? Willbemakesuchapledge for the future. Our correspondent spoke of the ev ident determination evinced by the old settlers of Omaha to convict Gov. Furnas of bribery, and Mr. Polock says "shame on the man who would write, and doubly shame on the man who would print such slanders on the pioneers of the State." We say shame on the man who voluntarily undertakes the defence of a set of houndsold settlers or new, it mat ters not as ever tried to swear away the good name of a good man.

We have held, since early in the spring, the opinion that this would be one of the "offyears in corn." The backwardness and rainy character of the singular kind of weather since July 1st, confirmed us in this belief, and the report which Capt. Jo. Nan son, of the firm ofNauson, Burthol- ow & Co., of this city, brings concern ing the condition of corn in Kansas, Nebraska, aud throughout a large .portion of Northern Missouri, adds strength to our belief. Mr. Nanson says lie has bean traveling for more than a month. He has passed through .Missouri, iiunsas anil iNeurnska for many hundred miles, and nine tenths of the cornfields are killed as dead as though a mid-winterstorm had struck them -the stalks being yellow and dry from the ground to the top of the tassel. Reason a prolonged d.outh. The corn was put in very late, owing to the extreme wetness of the early spring and the general coldness of the grouud aud backwardness of the sen son. It came up badly to begin with. It progressed slowly because of the drenching rains of June. Grass choked the fields, because ii was too wefto plow, and before it was dry enough to do much .plowing the corn was too big to be worked by teams, and farmers could not afford to hoe it. Suddenty a drouth came on, and for weeks and weeks no rain fell, save in light and insufficient areas of conn try. The eorn was just tussling out when the drouth came on, since when ihere has not been rain enough to permit of a full formation of the ear. Capt. N. says that he examined hundreds of hills, and invariably found small and mean "nubbins," the corn upon which was fit for nothing but feed. He says the spring was so unfavora- oie, ana every one naa sucn au aouu daneeofcoru, that only about halfof the usual quantity was planted, and now fully two thirds of .'his was des troyed. He states that the farmers are becoming alarmed, and are hold ing on to what little old corn they, now have on hand. That because,, corn last wlnter'aud .spring was so pleanty and cheap they were. very careless of it. and large quantities of it rotted during the prolonged rains or the-spring, and a a ounsequence the farmers have nowhere near the amount of sound corn on "hand they supposed, they had, and now many of them refuse to sell, even at fifty oents per bushel. With the certainty 6f a great reduction, aa above narrated, iu the corn crop of Nebraska, Kansas and-Missouri, and the probability ot an early frost, which will damage the We have no disposition to color facts either oue way or the other : we hove no right to do it, but we will say that Col. Durfee has the 33'mpuihy of the comuuinit' for hu is a peacable citizen, honorable and upright iu his every dealing. His magnanimous conduct after the deed touched the tender chord of humanity. Of course the entire community regrets the whole affair, and every attention and aid will be rendered Mrs Morgan and her family. P. G. Morgon was au old citizen of considerable 'wealth, we learn, aud has been prominent in thi section for many vears buf more so from a disposition that was not envia ble than from anything else. And 3'et we are told he was a kind neighbir save when in his petulent passions at times he was feared by those who knew him Col. Durfee gave himlfup last night.

In consequence of thisfthe people of Ne braska are earnestly beseeching our St. Louis capitalists toiorin a perma nent line of barges, which siiail ply semi-weekly, or at least Weekly, be tween St. Louis and Omaha, or even some point further up the river, if need be. The lumber and merchan dise for these distant places could thus be purchased iu St. Louis aud carried by the barges up the river, and the produce and the live stock, be brought out. It is represented that not only do the Nebraska people feel very much interested in theestablish ment.tjf aach a line, but the people of Dakota, Kansas', and Northern Mis souri are equally anxious, and it is thought Ave re a company of sound men, having good tow boats and barg-, es, to organize in this city at once, with the determination of putting a line of burges into the trade this fall, a large amount of stock in such an enterprise might be taken along the Missouri River cities, by calling pub lic meetings for that purpose The experiment is worth the trial, at all events, for It Is the duty of this city to answer all calls for cheap tonnage, wherever a river boat or barjre will float. We believe tho barges would secure large and valuable up stream freights, as well as immense cargoes of produce coming down. On the up trip one barge might be left at Jeffer son City for stone, another at Kansas City, one at Leavenworth, one at At chison, oue at St. Joseph, and others at other places, for produce. These would all be loaded by the time the boat camedown, and would cause no delay. There is certainly great prom ise in this enterprise, and we feel sure the. party who has the courage to em bark in it, and the requisite pertinac ity and patience to make a final suc cess of it, will be hailed as a general benefactor, and.be largely compensa ted for his philanthropy. In fact, since the destruction of the Pacific track, such an Enterprise would bq iuaugurated with the most brilliant prospects for the near future. 3Iis souri- Democrat. escape, or shall aid aim to escape, jor in- an" at tempt to escape,.- shall, upon convicnonoy a court martial, be-confined therein not leu than oneyear Sec. f4.

' i trade: with Nebraska. All reports agree' that no better spriug whtat, oats or corn can be round in the Union than Nebraska has produced this year. They declare that the universal seutimeui of the people is favorable for St. Louis busi ness connections, if they can be main tained at as low a rate as such con nections are with Chicago. Of course, trade relations can be maintained with Chicago only hy rail, and all points in Nebmska are two hundred miles further from Chicago than the same points are fromlSt. Louis. Notwith standing this, and the further fact that connections at the most econom ical character might be established be tween here and the prominent Ne braska points by river, a good deal of Nebraska produce finds its wav to Chicago, aud a considerable percent age of the merchandise consumed In Nebraska is purchased in Chicago. Nebraska will have fot sale this fall about 3,000,000 bushels of a very.supe rior quality of spring wheat, and our millers, who are going into the man ufacture of the ue'nroces in flours, u ill want that wheat.
