Mc Gcanahan, living a few miles from .Lancaster, Wisconsin, while building a fence, was bitten through the index finger of his left hand by a rattle snake. He picked up a dull ax. and laying the fingerou a post, chopped It off. thereby effectually ridding him self of the virus. The, boy is about fourteen years of age. A banquet was given in the City of Mexico on the 4th in honor of Amer ican independence. All Americans were present, and the dinner was also attended by President Leordo, the members of the Cabinet, the diplo matic corps, and leading men of the country and press. Minister Foster presided. 1 he Declaration of Inde pendence was read, poems recited, and cordial toasts exchanged. Protestantism is gaining ground in Mexico. It is said that now, within her borders, there are nearly one hun dred protestant churches of different denominations, while five years ago there were less than a half dozen. When Mexico advances'so far aa to tolerate and protect religious freedom, aud separate religious from State mat tors, sho will see bucIi days of pros perity and happiness as she never saw before. Any nation that sup presses free religious thought and ac tion, or interferes to direct by laws the consciences of her people in re ligious tenets, is, and ought to bo. cursed with instability, turmoils, and insurrections. After the serious war demonstra tions of the Indiaus in the Indian Territory, John D. Miles, an Agent, and a Quaker, by the way, recom mended in pretty strong terms that the Indiaus be.whipped into submis sion and decent behavior by the sol diery. In making so sensible a rec ommendation he put his official head in jeopardy, for immediately thereaf ter a meeting of the "Associated Ex ecutive Committee of FriendB on In dian Affairs," condemned the action of aggent Miles and asked him to re sign. These Quaker Indian manag ers reason after this style : In the three Southwestern agencies, chiefly owing to the intrusion of white men, who kill buffalo, trade in whis ky, aud steal horses, some of the chiefs aud young men of a few of the tribes have resolved lipon retaliation. Small war partieB have attacked one train, a few ranches, and the buffalo hunters in the Pan Handle of Texas. Wo are hopeful that order and quiet may soon be restored. And they should have added they also murdered Inoffensive women and children, and settlers, and put the whole country on a etapede for The eastern settlements for protection. Because some white men hare intrud ed, killed buffalo, traded in whisky and stolen some horseB, the Indians are to be excused and petted for tak ing reveuge, not only on those who have given offense, but for attacking government trains; and murdering, scalping and burning those in charge of such trains; and for burning the ranches of the white man and killing the ranchmen, and murdering &U the inhabitants, women, children, the in nocent as well as the guilty. This is Quaker policy, and a damnable poli cy it is. Gen. Sheridan's kind of poi ioy indicated by the following dis patch suits us better: Gen. Sheridan forwarded, through Gen. Sherman, a request to be allow ed to use the Sixth Cavalry for offens ive operations against the Indians, and advocating generally an offensive policy, aa more effective and more economical then a defeneive one. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Every, genuine Republican will heartily endorse the Toledo Blade's defense of the Republican party. It is well, says the Blade, for those who may feel disposed tocenBuretheRepub lican party on account of the corrup tion of 6ome of its members, to stop and consider before going too far. All, or nearly all, of the corruption on the part of Republican officials which has been brought to light, wa3 exposed by Republicans. The party, as a party, has steadily, persistently, and quite efficiently exposed every species of unfaithfulness, and de serves great credit at the hands of the people for its zeal in discovering and honesty in exposing official delin quencies. Such efforts to protect the people, even at the expense of party leaders, was never before known. During the long years of Democratic rule, which culminated in the rebel lion and oivil war, no such record of honest devotion to the Interests of the people can be found as that which has characterized the Republican par ty. The Indiana State Convention, in their platform, very clearly and concisely state some of the commend able qualities of the Republican par ty, as follows : "Unlike the Democratic party, It " lays no claim to political infallibili ty. But it does claim that it has "shown itself both ready andcompe " tent to resist every form of wrong "and oppression to restrain Injus " tice, to remove the publio ills when " they are known to exist, to condemn " the conduot of faithlesB and dishon " est publio agents, and to detect and " expose abuses in the administration " of the Government, even when "practiced by Its professed support " ers. It has never failed in the work "of reform when shown to be neces " sary. No offender, detected in cor " ruption, has escaped its condemna- " tion, no matter what party service " he may have rendered. It has nev 'er endeavored to defeat the publio " will, but regards the people and not " mere party organizations as the pri "mary source of all political power. "By Credit Mobillier investigation, " its repeal of the 'salary grab' law, " the abolition of the corrupting rao- "iety system,, and of the Sanborn " contract, it has shown how readily " it pays obedience to the public judg- "ment. By its searching investiga- " tion Into abuses in the District of " Columbia, and its prompt condem " nation of administrative officers, it " has demonstrated its unabated hoe " tility to the demoralizing doctrine " that 'to the victors belong the spoils " of office.' " But the Republican parly is not solely entitled to confidence and sup port because it is opposed to corrup tion. It goes farther than this, and is tho friend of every measure de signed to benefit the people. Itssym- pathies are heartily in accordance with the spirit of our Government, aud it has done more to elevate the oppressed, and for human progress, than any other party iu this or any other country. It is the party of the people, and In all measures advocated or adopted by it, the object has been to extend liberty, insure equal rights, and promote general prosperity. The people cannot afford to abandon 6iich a part' to run after the skeleton of Democracy or the funaticism of weak minded ambition as exhibited in ef forts to organize new parties upon narrow and inadequate platforms. If there are wrongs to correct, correct them inside the party. If there are new issues deserving of endorsement, have them endorsed and carried into effect by the Republican party. Ite defeat can only be the success of De mocracy ; and Democracy giveB no promise of good, but every assurance of evil legislation and government. Stand by the party of the people the party which 'has given such vitality to the principles of our Government and the energies of the people. THE NEWSPAPERS. The Omaha Bee, in giving the com plexion of the State press, says: "There are eleven daily papers pub lished in Nebraska, and only two of them the Omaha Herald and Fre mont Herald are out-spoken advo cates for the Democratic creed. Out of the eighty-eight Nebraska week lies phblished in the English lan guage, only two support the Democ racy, namely: the Columbus Era and Plattamouth Watchman. Three or four others, formerly Democratic, now profess to be independent of ail polit ical parties." The old Democratic papers that now stand Independent are more numerous that the Bee supposes. We may nome the Brownville Democrat, (now called Granger,) Falls City Time3, Salem Rcvieiu, Tecumseh Her ald, Grand Island Times, Seward At las, Ashland Times, Nebraska City News, Plattsmouth Watchman, and several others, the names and location of which we are not certain about. They are quite a respectable company, however, and most of them are in quite different hands than controlled them in the day3 when there tens a Democratic party. We believe every one we have named, and as many more besides, will support the farm ers' movement this fall in opposition to the "ring" politician system of the old parties. Nebraska City JSews. There is not the least doubt that every one of the papers named in the Neivs's list will favor, or pretend to favor, the farmers' movement, but it will be upon the conditions suggested by the Omaha Herald and Nemaha Granger, viz : the adoption of a plat form that the Democracy can approve by reason of its antagonism to Repub lican doctrines. Of course none but Democrats would coneent.to stand on such a platform as a candidate, hence the whole machine must be worked in the interest of the Democratic par ty. But the Democracy need not flat ter themselves that they are going to walk into power easily through the agency .of the farmers' movement, iu this State; beeause any declaration of principles which is in opposition to Republicanism and in unison with the teachings of Democracy, will have a tendency to drive every intelligent Republican farmer away from the new party. When it comes to ques tions of National or State interests, then Democrats are Democrats and Republicans are Republicans; and whatever names may be assumed, it does not? alter the matter a particle. Grangers will, ere a great while, have it demonstrated to them that the Rranpfl order has been transformed. from what it was originally intended , to be, into a scheming political party, by scheming politicians, who bad "played out" in the old party to which they originally belonged, and that by such transformation the the order has been cursed and the good it might have done neutralized to a great extent. Then salutary remedies will be ap plied, and wiser counsels will prevail. Judging from the tone of the arti cles in the western papers on thesub ject, aud from what we hear person ally, the Brownville Advertiser aud the Beatrice Express are not making much progress towards discrediting us with the people of this part of the State. There is such a thing as over shooting the mark especially when laboring under a 'wild misapprehen sion os to where and what the mark is. Lowell Register. Prof. Williams' supreme egotfsm leads him to misconstrue and misrep resent his cotemporaries. So far as we are concerned we have not at any time endeavored to "make much pro gress towards discrediting him with the people of the western part of the State." "We charged the Register, once, some weeks ago, and charge it again now, with publishing articles and making utterances calculated to create a spirit of sectionalism, aud consequently antagonism, between the Eastern and Western portions of the State. The general tone of the Register from week to week is calcu lated to educate the people of his part of the Slate to believe that the East ern part of the State is scheming to deprive the West of cherished rights. We insist that we make no mistake about this. Why should we attempt to "discred it" Mr. Williams with anybody ? If we estimated him, or thought he wbb estimated by the people general!, at one-quarter of what he estimates himself, we might care to undertake to counteract his baneful influences, but we do no such a thing; and are the last one that would injure, in the least, a one-horse editor of a country poper. God knows they have a hard enough time to get along. We know how it is ourself we have beon there. Mr. Williams talks about shooting at a mark, and thinks we are shoot ing at him. when we only rebuked him for trying to create enmity be tween people who ought to be friends; and he being a candidate for State Su perintendent of Publio Instruction, should be warned not to insult the East if he cares about its friendship in securing the election. Instead of apologizing for his indiscriminate charge on the river counties, hesimp ly, but very cooly, denies the truth, and indicates a great deal of egotisti cal self-complacency by asserting that he is all right "with the people of this (the west) part of the State." Williams will find that it will take more friends than he can muster from both sides of the State, and both ends, for that matter, to defeat his compet itor, the present incumbent, Professor McKenzie. It will be difficult to tell how the Democrats of Nemaha will vote this fall. Should the Independents put forth a conservative platform, and nominate the right kind of men, we believe tho majority will vote that way. Their inclinations are to beat their old enemies, the Republicans. Nemaha Granger. Well, Dr., this is rather plain sail ing, and if the Republicans among our farmeis are going to let them selves be hood-winked by the mere name of "Independent," as a garb to cover over the old cloak of Democra cy, then we confess we oannot appre hend the intelligence of tho yeoman ry of our land, for we do not think, and in fact know, that they can see through some of the movements to swallow up and control the Grange vote, even after the oftexpiessed sen timent that the Grange was not a po litical organization We apprehend the Democracy will have to play some other card to trump the Republican ticket with honest men aB candidates. Dakota City Mail. It is a fact which has been very ap parent to us from tho beginning of the new party and grange movement in this county, and which we have insisted on and demonstrated from time to time, that the sole aim and object of the democracy is to so ma nipulate the farmers' movement that it will redound to tho glory of de mocracy and bring defeat to "their old enemies, the Republicans." But the matter is perfectly well under stood by Republican Grangers, and we know that there exists a determ ination among them to thwart the sinister designs "of "their old ene mies," the Democrats. Nebraska's vacancy iu the United States Senate is now iu the State, temporarily at Brownville plan ning with Democrats and -ex-rebels for the overthrow of the Republican party. Tipton claims that the old party, which made him, and to which he is indebted for all he is, or ever was, is too corrupt for bim to remain in. Feaiful purity! His political morals must have improved since his efforts for re-election in this city four years ago, when he paid a "noise and confusion" bill. Blade. just so: We are permitted to read a letter from a gentleman in Ohio to a resi dent in this oity, commenting on the manner in which our State Fair Pre mium pamphlet was printed by the Omaha Herald. It says: "If the Omaha people make as poor an effort with the fair as the priuter has in get ting up the premium list, it will be a grand fraud." We admit the fraud in the matter of priuting everybody does. But we are pleased to know and announce that the people of Oma ha are sparing no pains to make the fair a grand success. We believe it will be. The printing Is a terrible botch, like unto everything else the Herald does. Lincoln Blade. Hon. H. O.Pratt has been nominat ed by the Republicans of the fourth Iowa Congressional District for re election to Congress. Gen. M. C. Hunter has been nomi nated by the Republicans of the Terre Haute distriot of Ind., for re-election to Congress. About 600 Scandinavian Mormona recently passed through Omaha on their way to Mormondom in Utah. GENERAL. SEWS, A DESPERATE PRIZE FIGHT". A prize fight, recently arranged be tween Turner and Jack McKinley, was fought last Sunday at Sandy Point, Long Island. The men fought at catch weight, and according to the rules of the London prize ring, for $2,000 a side. The pugilists and a large crowd of sporting men left New York in sail boats, and arrived on the grounds shortly after daylight. The ring was pitched and all arrange ments quickly perfected. At 5:40 McKinley entered the ring, Turner following five minutes later. John A. Mathews, of New York, was made referee. The fight was desperate for thirty-one rounds, lasting one hour and five minutes. In the last round Turner succeeded in forcing McKin ley to the ropes. He then threw his arm around McKinley's neck, held him on the ropes and pounded him frightfully. Amid the excitement and shouts of "foul" Turner held him as long as his strength would allow and then dropped bim. McKinley, who had received terrible punish ment during the fight, was complete ly exhausted, and when his seconds carried him to his corner he swooned. In spite of their efforts he refused to fight another round, and threw up the sponge. Turner was declared winner. The crowd then separated and returned to this city. MRS. WOODHULL TO TESTIFY IN THE BEECHER SCANDAL. Mrs. Victoria Woodhull is on her way to New York. A letter from Tennie Clafiin, dated San Francisco, July 9th, says: "In three days Mrs. Woodhull will start for New York, after stopping to fill one or two lec ture engagements in this city, reach ing New York the last of this or the first of next week." The committee do not Intend to call on her to testify, but say they will hear any testimony she may offer. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A MINIS TER. The trustees of Plymouth Baptist Church, of New York City, state that an attempt has been made to assass inate their pastor, Rev. Henry Miller, owing to a sermon delivered by him favoring the reading of the Bible in the publio schools. Two shots were fired into his study during bis ab sence, and he has been sent a threat ening letter. INDIAN NEWS. News is received from Ft. Steele, Wyoming, that railroad hands had been driven by the Indians into Rawlins, and that during a skirmish one Indian had been killed and two wounded. There were three bands united, and had gouo toward the Wind river country, pursued by vol unteer citizeus from Rawlins. There is also trouble with the In dians in Texas. The Galveston News of the ISth says that on the 10th, near Sherman, Texas, the Indians in large force met the Wise county rangers, and after a few hours hard fighting night closed, leaving the Indians holding the field, and having the rangers entirely surrounded. Major Joues, of the rangers, sent in a cour ier to the post commander for imme diate assistance, and stated that he had three men killed and five wound ed, twelve head of horses killed and fifteeu men missing. Mr. Loring writes for long range gun, saying that the Indians were able to keep them off with their Winchester rifles. Within one hour after the courier ar rived, one hundred mounted cavalry were in the saddle going at the top of their speed for the field of aotion, which they would reach about one o'clock next morning. BOSS TWEED'S FARE. The Commissioners of Charities and Corrections have authorized im provements to be mado in the prison quarters of Wm. M. Tweed, owing to representations of the ph3Tsicians, and the warden of the penitentiary will, in a day or two, remove Tweed to a larger room. This room isabont ten by twelve in an area on the second fluor, and has three windows looking out fr-m it on the river. It is to be fitted up with the same furniture used in Tweed's former room, on the second floor front. This furniture belongs to Tweed. There are a double bed, loun ges, hospital and arm chairs, office revolving chairs, and one or two ta bles.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE NORMAL SCHOOL BOARD. At a meeting of the Board of Edu cation of the State Normal School, held June 26th, the resignation of Rev. T. J. Morgan, Principal, was aucepted, aud a committee appointed to draft appropriate resolutions ex pressive of the sentiments of the Board. At the late meeting of the Board, held July 16th, the following pream ble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, The Rev. T. J. Morgan has been with the State Normal School for the past two years, and, Whereas, He having been called to a position in Chicago University, a situation entirely in consonance with his views of duty, has felt compelled to resign his connection with this iu stitutiou, therefore, Resolved, That we deeply regret the necessity that requires us to ac cept his resignation. Resolved, That we recognize him as a man of superior ability, of fine executive talent, of high and noble sentiments, a thorough and refined christian gentleman. Resolved, That in his connection with the school he has shown pecul iar tact in harmonizing discordant elements, in awakening and infusing an earnest, enthusiastic love of study among the students, in inspiring in them a lofty ambition to become true men and women. Resolved, That while we fully real ize that Nebraska has lost In him one of her ablest and most successful ed ucators, we congratulate the Univer sity to which he goes upon so valua ble n acquisition to Its faculty. He leaves us with our warmest symptthy and beat wishes, feeling w,eil assured that a bright future awaits him in his new fild of labor. PAREN ENGLAND, Pies'. C. Bj ;?AL5iB, SsoY EDUCATIONAL. Meeting ot the Board of Education of the State Normal School. Lincoln, Neb., July 15, 1874. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. The Board of Education of . the State Normal School met at the office of the Stato Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, for the purpose of employing a Principal and Janitor, and consideringjotber matters pertain ing to the interest and success of the school. After the preliminary business of reading the minutes of previous meet ing, &c, several communications were read, among others one from several citizens of Peru, asking that some arrangements be made by which a model school may be kept in con nection with the Normal School. During the past year a part of the Peru District School had been taught in the Normal School building, the district furnishing the room with desks, &c, and paying the teaohers out of tho distriot funds. But as the number of students in the Normal and Preparatory departments has so increased as to demand nearly all the rooms in the building for their proper accommodation, the Board at its ses sion in June thought best to discon tinue the arrangement of allowing the distriot the use of any rooms now finished off in the building. Thus the Peru distriot will now have all departments of its sohool taught in Its own school building iu the village. There are, however, quite a number of families who have come to Peru with the express purpose of educat ing their children and they greatly desire to have them under the direct supervision of the faculty of the Normal School. These persona are exceedingly anxious to have the mod el department continued. Under these circumstances It was finally agreed by the Board that if the citizens of Peru would finish off a couple of rooms in the basement of the new building and hire a teacher to act as principal of tho department, the board will allow a free u&e of the rooms and do what it can to reim burse the citizens for the expense in curred in finishing them off; provid ed the Principal of the Normal 8chool shall have full power to regulate the course of Btudy to be pursued and have the general supervision and control of the department, the same as other departments of the school.. It is the intention of the members of the Board, to use their utmost en deavors to make the Normal School in all respects what it should be, and while they would not do anything to deprive any citizen of Peru of the full benefit and advantage of the school yet they cannot consistently put the State to extra expense to pro vide a school especially for the citi zens of that. town and vicinity. The great question to be constantly met and answered Is, Is the very best in terest of the institution Bubserved, will the young teachers be educated better by suoh a course? The Board deferred electing a Prin cipal until the next meeting. Prof. W. E. Wilson fully understands the work to be accomplished, and the care of the school is left in his hands. Any person desiring to make arrange ments for sending pupils will receive any information or aid required by addressing him at Peru. Mr. Henry L. Wagner, of Beat rice, was elected janitor. The Board then adjourned to meet at the Normal School building Sep tember 1st. The fall term of the Normal School commences Thursday, September 3rd, 1&74. Correspondence of the Inter-Ocean GRANGERS SECEDE. Bushnell, 111., June 24. Your correspondent has secured a copy of the following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted at a meeting of Good Hope Grange, No. 108. held at Good Hope, this county (McDonough), on Saturday, June 20, 1874: Whereas, The organization of the Order of P. of H. was inaugurated and predicated on just and correct principles the elevation of tlie agri cultural classes of this countrj' and for the purpose of uniting the farmers in social and friendly bonds, and was held out and published to the world, thereby bringing it to the favorable notice of ail good men and well-wishers of the race ; and Whereas, The principles as promul gated by the P. of H., if strictly, or even but partially practiced, would benefit and be a source of much good to the community in which they ex isted ; yet we, after a careful investi gation, both of the interior and exteri or workings of said order, regard it as our duty, both to the public and to those who are still connected with the order, to declare it as our candid opin ion, predicated upon actual experience an members working in the order, to publish and declare to the world 1. That the original principles for which the organization was instituted have been entirely overlooked and ig nored, in that the officers have assum ed powers that are tyrannical, arbi trary, and entirely subversive of good order in the lodge and in the com munity: that the officers composing our graud or State organization are not the true representatives of the members of the order selected for that purpose, being ex-officio members of the same; and also that the the offi cers of the National Grange have ar rogated to themselves and that, too, under the working! of the order un warranted and systematic autocratic authority, ruling as with a rod of iron, from whose edicts there is no appeal. 2. That large sums of money have been (are now, and in time to come) collected by the several State granges and the National Grange, for whioh no adequate return has ever been real ized by the individual members of the order. 3. And further, there has been, from time to time, through the State and other officers of the order, a dis position to change the organization from its original plan of mutual bene fits to the members thereof, to that of a political party, thereby injuring and destroying all that was calculated to unite and elevate the community t was designed to benefit. 4. It iB burdensome and expensive to the members of the -order, with out adequate compensation for money expenaes; that it is now engendering a spirit of olass legislation, mutual dis trust between the agricultural and commercial intercourse of the land, thereby demoralizing and debasing the standard of relations the commu nity bears to eaoh other. And furth ejj that the older, a ruled by design ing men connected therewith, has been entirely prostituted from its orig inal purpose and brought into subjec tion to further their personal and po litical Interests to all of which we do most sincerely and emphatically pro test; and in view thereof, be it there fore Resolved, That this grange, No. 198, do disband and deliver up all secret works, together with its charter, to the constituted authority, and dissolve all relations whatsoever, soeial or po litical, with the State grange of the P. of H. of the State of Illinois. This grange was one of the largest in our country, and the above was ad opted almost unanimously only two negative votes. The treasurer of the order reports the total amount of fees and dues col lected to be $522, of which amount $454 found its way to the State grange for regalia and "working tools, etc." The balance In the treasury, $69, is to be divided among the members. The working tools, regalia, etc., are to be sold by the Secretary and the pro ceeds to be given to the Sabbath schools of the Townships. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. New Stage Line.
