The-Item ocracy are already calcu
lating on taking possession of the
government at the next Presidential
(lection by allying themselves with
the 8nuthern Democracy, finch a co
alition will be made. Whether it
shall suoceed or not. will be the great
iSBue iu the next Presidential cam
paign. The Credit Mobilier affair,
the ealarj' jrrab, the Jayne and San
born swindles, the vacillating policy
of Congress on the currency question,
have brought discredit on the Repub
lican party and favor the oucees of
the Democracy. Chicago Tribune.
The Democracy calculated on tak
ing possession of the Government at
each election for the last fourteen
years, but they were prevented by
the people from doing so. Had they
not been prevented we would not
now have a couutry, strong, and in
tact, respected and honored, as it is.
by all tho nations of the earth. Iu
I860 the Democracy calculated on re-taming-possession
of the government,
"by allying themselves with the
Southern Democracy," in order to
carry out their then far advanced
programme of perpetuating human
slavery and extending it into all the
Territories and States. Arguments
on the merits of the principles involv
ed having long been exhausted, in
timidation wa3 resorted to by the al
lied Democracy of the North and
South. Tho rebel-breeders of the
8outh said they must have tho elec
tion or they would dissolve the Un
ion, and those of the North took up
the echo and said, "they will dissolve
the Union," and the allied Democra
cy did all it was possible for them to
do, to prove true their rul or ruin
threats, and the greatest rebellion, or
war, the world ever saw then follow
ed the result of their combined ef
fort to ruin after their failure to again
obtain possession of the government
by tho will of a majority of the peo
ple. In 1864 tho allied cohorts of De
mocracy again calculated on taking
possession of the government, and on
a platform which declared the war a
failure they continued to advocate the
doctrine of secession. At that time
tho Southern Democracy were in an
attitude of war and defiance, and
their allies, the Northern Democracy,
said let our brethren of the South
alone let them go with what-'part of
the Union they want they cannot be
conquered and humbled to obedience
of the law. The Republican party
thought differently, and the result
proved it to be in the right, as it has
always boen. While the nllis had
again to endure the chacrin of defeat
at the polls, they found some satisfac
tion in their victory over the mortal
of the immortal Lincoln. They
gloried in that that if their doctrines
could not obtain, they could, by the
hand of an appointed emissary, as
sassinate the noblest Roman of them
nil. But the enthusiasm of nure pat
riotism did not ebb with thelife-blood
of the great Lincoln. It lived to car
ry out and consummate the doctrines
he had inculcated, and the work he
had commenced and for which he was
slain.
In 1868 these allies again made their
ealculaMons on taking possession of
tho government. This time they
thought to succeed by preaching re-
pudialion of the nation's obligation
to Its creditors, by opposition to ihe
reconstruction acts of thp Republican
Congress, and the amendments of the
Constitution of the United States
whioh declares and guarantees equal
rights to nil citizens and by favoring
the overthrow of the work which the
loyal people had done in all the pre
ceding years of sanguinary strife, and
covertly advocating the restoration of
negro slavery. But the designs of the
allies wero again thwarted over
whelming' by the people.
In 1372, although the allies had be
come very much demoralized, thev
thought they might, by a trick and a
very improbable combination of cir
cumstances, get possession of the
government. They protended to he
dead, they 'possumized, they allied,
they traded and dickered with mal
contents, demagogues and thieves
who had been kicked out of the Re
publican party and otherwise, and
out of offices which they had dis
graoed, and with this kind of congen
ial material the fouliy reeking car
ols oi uiu uemocraoy cried corrup
tion, and asked that purification in
national political affairs be tried by
placing i7 at the head ! The proposi
tion was deemed preposterous by the
intelligent loyal people of the coun
try generally ; it was a vile stench in
their nostrils; it was rejected with
Indignation and contempt; and the
allied Democracy suffered their fourth
national defeat, and again missed in
their calculations to take possession
of the government.
In the first two of the elections re
ferred to, the Democracy wanted to
Het'posaesslon or the government for
the purpose of dissolving the Union
In the last two their intentions
were, if they got Into power, to undo,
annul and overthrow all the benifi
eent results of the rebellion.
The Tribune one of the malcon
tentsthinks that because some
thieves nave got inco nmce unoer a
Republican administration, and one
abnoxious law passed by a Repuhli
en Congress, that the Democracy
mky jet possession of the govern
ment In 1876. Such reasoning is very
weak indeed and .easijy. controverted.
WtialeVer' eerrupt ions have been de-
W3Xir roYernment official has
been the work of the Republican par
ty. No thanks are 'due tho Demo
cratic party for discovering and- pun
ishing crime either in its own or. any
other party; but the Republican par
ty at any appearance oi dishonesty
and malfcasanoe, immediately inves
tigates and ferrets-out the truth, and
in every instance where guilt is shown
severe punishment and disgrace fol
lows, without favoritism or any at
tempt to screen the guilty. The Re
publican party, adhering to Ihe doc
trine it has adopted, that -of punish
ing dishonest and corrupt members
within its own organization, claim
to be as pure, as free from corruption
as any party ever in power, or as any
party could possibly be under similar
circumstances, namely, those of ad
ministering the vast political affairs
of this government and moulding
them into proper shape from the cha
os which followed the Democratic re
hellion. Therefore the people are not
ready to deliver up the government
into the hands of the Democracy.
MEETING OF THE CENTRAL COM-
MITTEE.
Pursuant to notice tho Republican

The York County Record, speaking
of Senatorial prospects, advocates
Governor Furnas. The Record says :
"Our exchanges in various parts of
the State are expressing their prefer
ences for a successor to Hun. Grand
mother Tipton, as United States Sen
ator from Nebraska, the choice to he
made next winter by our Legislature
From a pretty careful mirvey of the
whole field, we are inclined to think
that Governor Furnas is and should
be the "coming man " As a practi
cal printer, and an able and popular
editor, he will cheerfully receive thp
support of the press: as a model Gov
ernor, state.xman, and devoted pro
moter of the Agricultural, Horticul
tural and best general interests of our
3'oungStato. we believe the nen-ile
and Patrons in Nebraska will find in
him the man who will best represent
their intereRts in the United States
Senate and be a worthy colleague of
Senator Hitchcock, who has hither
to been so "unequally yoked."
In opposition to the expressed wish
es of three thousand voters, and for
the purpose of 'booatiug" up a for
eign town company, an order bun
beeu issued for the rein val of ihe
land office from Lowell to Biooming
ton. This grand scheme ha- been on
the boards for some limo, but was de
layed by the good sense of Coinmis-
muiiei unuuiiiunu, wno in mis in
stance, at least, acted in accordance
witJi the wishes of a large majority of
the ueople interested iu this matter.
It is supposed that this change was
effected by the persistent working of
that yhystering demagogue who an
swers t the name of H. M. Atkinson.
The Bloomington Guard at least,
gives him the credit of the thing.
This move has not been made in the
interest of the people, nor in accord-J
ance with their wishes. It was done
solely to give an outside company a
chance to speculate to reap where
they had not sown : to make a nice
thing out of property that will he
made valuable bv the labors of others.
Red Cloud Chief.
That fellow who "answers to the
name of Atkinson must wield a very
powerful influence, to do eo reneh in
spite of the opposition named by the
Chief, as well as the opposition of all
the powers of the mighty B, & M.
Railroad, who wanted to keep the
Land Office at their town Lowell.
Wo know that Atkinson is a worker
that he is a regular four-horse team.
and whether uphill or down he us
ually pulls through whatever he
hitches on to. but in this case the in
fluences and the -money .were so great
against him that he must have had
greatly the advantage in the equity of
the case. There is one thing surp,
that at Bloomington the Land Office
is much nearer the center of the Dis
trict than It was at Lowell, and that
Is the reason why it was removed, we
presume. If the intereats of the peo
ple, for whose benefit the office was
established, is subserved, it is a mat
ter of little consequence to those out
side of town companies, whether the
town of a railroad company or that of
a "foreign1" company is boosted and
built up.
ButdidnotRed Cloud want the land
office removed from Lowell to that
place? Did not the editor of the
Chief visit Washington to influence
such a removal? Yes, we think so.
Is the one who fails any less ashyster
ing demagague than he who doos not
fail ? No. we guess not. We do not
think that either Atkinson or the ed
itor of the Chief a re shysters or dema
gogues, but we do think they will
either work for their own 'interests
wnen tney seo a good thing to he se-
cured.

A dispatch from Eureka, California,
gives the particulars of a fearful storm
and .water-spout which struck that
place on tiie 24th . inst. It had been
raining with great violence from ear
ly in the morning until noon, when a
cloud burst en the lofty range of
mountains to the east. A vast vol
ume of water rushed dow.n the can
3'on where the town is located. The
eastern, part of the town was flooded
in ten minutes by a fearful rush of
water of constantly increasing vol
ume, depth-and impetuosity. The
people of a portion of tiie place were
hemmed in. Every moment houses
were torn from their foundations and
swept away, with the occupants.
Ropes were procured and a line form
ed of brave men. Thus protected,
they dashed Into the torrent and sav
ed many lives. Only few women and
children were lost. Roger Robinett,
a reporter of the Eureka Sentinel of
fice was drowned, and the office
swept awa3T. Thirty houses were
swept away, in all parts of the town.
Dance-houses and other places of
amusement are gone. The flood last
ed only half an hour. 'Ihe total loss
of life is not known; it is believed it
will reach twenty-five or thirty.

Tilton, fully understanding the ef
forts of Beecher, his counsel and
friends, to discredit Til ton's testi
mony by covert strategy and malic
ious falsehood, so that the case will
go in Beecher's favor in the minds of
at least a part of the people, on the
bare question of veracity between the
two, has challenged Beecher and his
friends to a public trial in a court of
justice where each witness may be
sworn and cross examined. This is
the only way the facts can be, or ever
will be arrived at. Tilton's proposi
tion is a fair and honorable one, but
will Mr. Beecher accept? He dare
not accept it, if we are correct in our
opinion.
While many of the newspapers of
the country severel reflect on Theo
dore Tilton. unjustl3 we think, for
divulging the private matters of his
wife, and expoeing "the skeleton in
the closet,'' are unanimous, so far as
we have 3een, in the opinion that
Tiltou has a strong case, and that his
sworn statement contains matter and
documentary evidence that it will be
very nearly impossible for Beecher to
overthrow; and all manifest great
dread that Tilton's accusations are too
true. A mere denial,- when placed
against the overwhelming array of
testimonj' produced by Tilton, iscon
sidered of little consequence and has
no effect in banishing from logical
minds the belief that Beecher did se
duce Mrs. Tilton, thereby being the
chief instrument in breaking up a
once loving, contented and happy
family.
Reports from the scene of the great
scandal say a most complete revulsiou
in public opinion has taken place
within the past few days with regard
to the guilt of Beecher. Where he
had fifty warm friends and defenders
before Tiltou's statement was publish
ed, he has now only three or four, and
these, generally, are buxom wom-n.
who think his sin is not such a horri
ble one after all. Mauy old and re
spected families are mentioned as
having announced their intention of
withdrawing from his church at once,
indeed, of uever.atteuding divine ser
vice again within its precincts.
Mrs. Tilton's statement has fallen
stillborn from her pen. Nobody
counts it in at all in a discussion of
the pros, and cons, of the case.

known citizen of Brownville. return

them again. Mr. Atkinson will leave

Our esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr.
Atkinson, during his sojourn in
Washington espoused the cause of
uraaiia. and of course the intate, in
the fight over the terminus of the U.
P. railro-id. and was very efficient, re
port says, in securing the case for
Omali'i, over Council Bluffs and Iowa,
thus settling a question which has
been a source of discord for a long
time. Mr. Atkinson is an indefati
gable worker in any field he is called
to work, anil eminently worthy of the
highest confidence. We are pleased
thus to notice a friend whom we have
known so long and intimately.
Anna Trusslemire, a girl 14 years
old. of Wathena, Kansas, while out
of town a ehort distance recently,
gathering berries, with her little
brother, was followed by u negro
named Harrison Grubb, who by
threatB of death and force, effected a
most brutal outrage upon the little
girl. Grubb was soon afterward ar
rested, when a mob took him from
the officers. While preparations were
being madeto hang Grubb to the limb
of a tree, lie slipped the rope from his
neck and started off in a run, when a
number of .shots were fired after him
and he was instantly killed. Anoth
er most lamentable part of the affair
was the accidental shootitig ami kill
ing of one of the lynchers named
James McPherson.a respected citizen.
It seems that the mob was composed
of both men and women, and besides
me oiner casualties ami crimes con
nected with the affair, a young lady
was thrown from her horse and ser
iously hurt.

One of the longest funeral process
ions that ever entered Walnut Grove
Cemetery, near the city of Brown
ville, followed the remains of Mrs.
Margaret A Jones o her final rest
ing place on last Sunday. Miss Mar
garet A, Keith was born in 1818 in
North Carolina. In 1833 she was
married to David Jones. During the
great religious awakening in 183-tMr.
and Mrs. Jones made a public- profes
sion of true faith in Christ, and soon
after both united with the Baptist
Church. The wants oTar growing
family and a desire to better .their .fi
nancial prospects induced them to
move, in 1849, to Buchanan county,
Mo. For similar reasons thej moved
to Nemaha county in 1865. and settled
on their farm three miles southwest
of Brownville. A Baptist Church
was organized in their neighborhood
soon after, of which Mrs. Jones was
an active and constant member. Dur
ing the last four months of her life
she suffered untold pain from a can
cer on her breast, from whioh she
died at her residence on Saturday
last, leaving a husband, twelvegrown
up children, and many friends to
mourn her departure from this life qf
suffering to a glorious life with Christ
in the mansions which he prepares
for God's adopted sons and daughters.
During her sickness she testified to
those who were without Christ iu the
world of the realities of religion and
of its power to comfort those who ex
pected soon to exchange this 'world
for the bright prospects of Heaven.
A few days before her death she said
to her husband and children that she
had often looked upon death and the
grave with terror, but now she would
welcome the time of departure, and
prayed that they would all be prepar
ed to meet her where parting would
be no more. Thus liveth and thus
pa-seth away the saints of eartli to
their resting place with Christ, at the
right hand of God in Heaven. May
her husband, her children and her
neighbors ever strive to imitate that
bright christian example, which
though dead, still liveth to woo us all
into the paths of virtue, usefulness
and a life of happiness beyond this
vale of tears. J. s. c.

By order of the
Exkcutive Committed.
Beecher's committee and friends
continue to aggravate Tilton, which
leads him to atill further divulge mat
ters terribly damaging to Mr. Beech
er and Mrs. Tilton. After Tilton
had been before the committee they
circulated the btatement that he had
said he had no other evidence of
Beecher's adultery except what Mrs.
Tiltou tohl hjiu. In answer to this.
Tiltou, in an interview with a report
er of the Brooklyn Aryu3, said:
"I wish you woiijd do me the favor
to say through the columns of the
Argus, that though I have hitherto
declined being interviewed concern
ing my appearance befoie tho com
mittee, and have steadfastly remain
ed silent concerning the proceediuirs
in committee, yet. the above repart,
coming as it does from the commit
tee's counsel. Is an absolute fabrica
tion. I told the committee distinctly
that Mr. Beecher had confessed his
adultery to me; that he had confessed
it to Mr. Moulton, and that ho had
confessed it to other persons, whom I
named, and furthermore. I gave the
names of several person who, for the
last four years, have been perfectly
well aware thut Mr. Moulton's entire
connection with this case, from begin
ning to end has been based on the
one and only corner stone of epch-
er's criminality. I asked that all
these pprsons he produced before the
committee. I asked furthermore, for
the privilege of being present to cross
examine Mr. Beecher and other" wit
nesses. I atiH further suggested -that
as the case had-come to be of such
magnitude, that it would be better for
the committee to dismiss this inform
al examination, in which no one but
myself has thus far spoken under
oath, and adjourn to meet in court. I
expressed a willingness to be sued for
libel, or to be put in any other way
before a tribunal which could compel
witnesses to testify under oath, and
which could punish perjury with.
State's orison. If this case, with alb
the facts which lie behind it. both re
vealed and unrevealed. were now be
fore a criminal court in-tead of a vol
untary committee, and if Mr. Beech
er's printed &tti?meiU had been made
under oath, subject to cross question
ing and overthrow, he would indeed
lie compelled to step down and out. I
fpel at liberty to speak freely, because
Mr. Beecher's counsel have falsifier!
me to the world, and I have no re
course but to smite them in the face."

MR. BEECHER 'S STATEMENT.
New York, July 22. This evening
several of the decons of Plymouth
Church, with Mr. Shearman, Mr.
Ross and Gen. Tracy, met at Mr.
Beecher's residence, and after u coun
cil lasting about three hours, dre"v
up the following statement of Mr.
Beecher's for publication :
I do not propose at this time a de
tailed examination of the remarkable
statement of Theodore Tiltou made
before the committee of investigation,
and which appeared in print July 21.
I recognize the many reasons which
make it of transcendent importance
to 1113'self the church and the cause of
public morality that I shall give a full
answer to the charges against me, but
having requested the committee of in
vestigation to search this matter to
the bottom, it is to them I look for 1113
vindication ; but I cannot dela3 for
an hour to defend the reputation of
Mrs. Elizabeth R Tilton, upon whose
name. In connection with mine, her
husband has attempted to poursbame.
One less deserving of such disgrace I
never knew. From childhood she
ha3 been under 103 e3e. and since
reaching womanhood she has had my
sincere admiration and affection. I
cherish for her a pure feeling such as
a geutlema"n might honorably offer to
a Christian woman, and which she
might receive and reciprocate without
moral ocruple. I reject with indig
nation ever3' imputation which re
flects upon her honor or my own.
M3' regard for Mrs lilton was perfect
ly well known to my family, and
when serious troubles sprang up iu
her household it was to 1113' wife that
she resorted for counsel, both of us.
acting frm sympathy and as it subse
quently appeared, without full knowl
edge, gave unadvised coui sel which
tended to harm I have no doubr
that Mr. Tilton found his wife's o.u
fideiice and reliance upon my judg
ment had greatly increased while his
influence had diminished, iu conse
quence of a marked change in his re
ligious and social views which was
taking place during those years. Her
mind was greatly exercised lest her
children should be harmed by the
views which she deemed virtually
false and dangerous. I wa-s suddenly
and rudel3' aroused to the reality of
the impending danger b3 the disclos
ure of dometio distress, of sickness,
perhaps unto death, of likelihood of
separation, and the scattering of a
famil3 every member of which I hail
tenderly loved. Tile effect uuon 1110
f this discovery of the state of Mr
Tilton's feelings, and Ihecoudiiiou of
his ffimily. surpassed in sorrow and
excitement an3thing that I had ever
experienced in 1113' life; that 1113' pres
ence, influence and council had
brought to a beloved famil3 sorrow
and alienation gave, in 1113' then state
of mind, a poignancy to my HnfFering
which I hope no other nm.i 111:13" ever
feel. Even to be suspected of having
offered, through privileges of a peeul
larly sacred relation, an indecorum to
a wife and mother, could not but deep
ly wound one who is .-en-dtive to the
honor of womanhood. There were
private reasons for alarms in this case
on other grounds, in as mueh as I
was then subject to certain malignant
rumors, and a flagrant outbreak in
this family would bring upon them
an added Injury, derived from these
shameless falsehoods. Believing at
the time my presence and counsels
had tended however unconsciously,
to produce a social catastrophe repre
sented as imminent. I gave expression
to my feelings in an interview with a
mutual friend, not iu cold and callous
self-defending words, but eagerly tak
ing the blame upon myself and pour
ing out my heart to my friend in the
strongest language, overburdened
with the exaggerations of impassioned
sorrow. Had been the evil man Mr
Tilton now represents, I should have
been calmer and more prudent." It
was my horror of this evil imputed
that tilled me with morbid ihten-ity
at the very hhadow of it. Not only
was my friend affected generously
but he assured me tiial such expres
sions, if conveyed to M,r. Tiltou.
would soothe the wounded feelings, al
lay the anger and heat of the whole
trouble. He took down heuteuces
ami fragments of what I had been
saying, to use them asa mediator. A
full statement of the circuuistaiicet
under which this memorandum was
made, I shall give to the luvestigting
committee. That these apohgie
were more than ample to meet the
facts in Uiu cas.e is evident; that they
were accepted ; that our intercourse
resumed its friendliness; that Air.
Tiltou ratified it iu writing, and that
he lias continued for four years, and
until two weeks, to live with his wife.
Is it conceivable, if the original charge
had been what is now alleged, that
he would have couduued the offense,
not only with the uiotherof his child-
ten, but with him whom he believed
to have wronged them ? The absurd
ity, as well as the falsity, of this story
is apparent when it is considered that
Mr. Tilton now alleges that he car
ried this guilty secret of his wife's
infidelity for six months locked up in
his own breast, and that he divulged
it to me, only that there might lie a
reconciliation with me. Mr. Tilton
has since, iu every form of language
and to a multitude of witnesses, oral
ly. in written statements aud in point
ted documents, declared his faitli in
his wife's ouritv. After that renon-
ciliation. the considerations of propri
ety ami honor demanded that the fan
ny troubles should be kept in that se
clusion which domestic- affairs have a
right to claim. I do not propose to
analyze and contest at this time the"
extraordinary paper of Mr. Tiltou
Hut there are two allegations which
I cannot permit to pass without spec
ial notice. They refer to the only
two incidents which Mr; Tilton pre
tends to have witnessed personally
the one an alleged scene iu my huue.
while looking over engravings, and
the other a .chain her scene in his own
house. His statements concerning
these are absolutely false. Nothing
of the kind ever .occurred, nor any
semblance of any aueh thing. They
n
are now brought to ray notice for the
first time. To every statement which
connects me dishonorably with Mrs.
Tilton. or wh eh in any "wise would
impugn the honor and purity of this
beloved Christian woman. I give the
most explicit, comprehensive and sol
emn denial.

She Threatens an Earthquake that
-frill Settle the Queftlioi).
Mrs. Victoria Wood hull reeentby
arrived iu New York, and was imme
diate' besieged b3 reporters for the
press. One gives the following result
of an interview with her:
Reporter-M,rs. Woodhull, you are
a warm friend of Mr. Tilton. What
have you to say about the present
slate of affairs between him and Mr.
Beecher?
Mrs. Woodhull (with Tiltonic fren
zy in hereye) M3T time i not yet
I shall have much to say. Oh. this is
awful! awful! But I will keepsileut
a little Iongei. WI13', both" snies'afe
telling the most awful lies. Everj'
one is asking me to speak out. But J
let them exhaust themselves, and
then I will astonish the world by m
revelations.
R. (checking her race-horse volu
bility") You ought U know some
thing about it, as 3-011 are so intimate
witli Mr. Tilton He was 3our lover,
was he not?
W. M3' lover I Well, my opinions
are well known, and I have no reas
on to conceal that Mr. Tilton and I
were very dear friends this spoken
bitterly -and I know much; but
what I do know cannot be toldasj'et.
Oh, yes, I know Theodore.
It. So we have read here of late.
You know him intimately.
W. (with flushed cheek and flam
ing eye) I have com east to throw
light on this horrid deceit. I do know
Mr. Tilton ; know his inmost feel
ings. He lias begun the battle nobly,
but he must have energ3 to fight it
out. When both sides have exhaust
ed themselves, I shall be heard from,
and oh ! but I can hardly restrain
myself in the face of such subterfuge
and lying. Why, ni3' friend, I wish
I could dare at this time to speak out
to you frankly all I know. It is time
the mask should be torn off. I care
little about the jargon spoken as re
gards Beecher's relations with Mrs.
Tilton. I want to show, and will
show, that Beecher is as much a free
lover as Theodore Is, and it is time
the world should understand the mat
ter iu its true light.
R. You claim to have strong evi
dence that Beecher believes in and
ha practiced free love doctrines?
W. Well. I must positively refuse
to say now what proof I have; hut
the time is near when I shall speak
out. and the community will tand
aghast at ihe hypocrisy of Mr. Beech
er. But I shall speak out at the prop
er time.
