In accordance with an order of the Republican County Central Commit tee for Nemaha County, made at its meeting on the 25th of Jujy, 1874, and pursuant to the foregoing call of the Republican State Central Committee, the Republicans in the various pre cincts in Nemaha oounty are request ed to meet on Saturday, the22d Inst., at their respective places of voting, for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Republican Convention to be held at McPherson Hall in Brownvllle, Nebraska, on Saturday, August 29th, 1874, for the purpose of eleoting eight delegates and eight al ternates to the Republican State Con vention, which meets at Lincoln on Wednesday, September 2nd, 1874, for the purposes specified In the call of the State Central Committee. The following is a list of the representa tion to which the several preolnots will be entitled: Brownvllle .. 10 Nemaha City ... 4 Asnlnwall 4 St. Deroln ...... 2 Bedford 2 Benton . 2 Island . . l Peru . . . 7 Glen Rock . 2 .Lafayette . 4 Washington... 1 Douglas-........... 2 London .. 3 The County Convention will also consider the propriety, and, If deem ed advisable, will nominate the Re publican candidates for members of the Legislature, and two County Commissioners. The annual eleotion of a oounty central committee will also take place at said county convention. B. M. BAILY, Ch'ru J. Stevenson, Seo'y. John A. Kasson has been nomlna-l ted by the Republicans of his district in Iowa for re-eleotion to Congressi. The new market house in St. Jos eph, whioh Is a magnificent structure, was opened for business on Saturday the 8th InBt., and the'eitizens had a grand jolification about it. Near Seneca, Kansas, on the 8th inst., two men named J. O. Huddle eon and E. A. Ross, whilst riding in a wagon with six-other persons, were Wiled by a stroke of lightning. The steamer Henjry Ames, with a full cargo of merchandise from St. Louis to New Orleans, struck a snag and sunk in twenty-five feet water near VIoksburg, on the night of the 7th. Three lives were lost. The Independents of Douglas coun ty recently met In convention and adopted a platform of principles, which the Union, the chief organ of that party in the State, says is destin ed to "regenerate the nation." We cannot take up our space at this time by copying the resolutions in full nor discussing- them, but will give one resolution as a sample of this regener ative platform. The eleventh resolve reads as follows Resolved, That we are opposed to all sumptuary or prohibitory laws. We shall resist any attempts at any arbitrary interference with the social habits, customs-or atnuseineuts of the people, where seen practices do not actually disturb-public peaoe, and in all such cases we demand that the of fenders be-Bubjected to rigid punish ment by the local law. Opposition to a "sumptuary law" means no restraint on what the peo ple shall eat, drink, wear, &c, though the next resolution declares, "That we are in favor of an equitable and uniform license law." The resolu tion means open saloons, open beer shops, beer gardens, etc., on Sunday, "no interference with social habits, customs, or amusements, when such practices do not actually disturb pub lio peace." Eat, and drink whisky and sell or buy it, so you do not make Sunday worse than any other day and nnfnnllv illsfnrh fln miHlin noono" MW ITUUJi I U . U VU V V .. W W V UW.AW your business shall be deemed legiti mate. It would tolerate and legalize prize figbts, whore houses, bull fights, dog fights, whisky-drinking, drunk enness, and everything else, just so the peace was not actually disturbed, it would to educate the people in ev il praotices, and should such regener ative principles be incorporated into law, Brigham Young with his church would find his "happy land of Can an." right In Nebraska. Then mark, the punishment for "actual disturb ance of the public peace," must only be inflicted by "looal law." The State must not interfere to regulate such matters, so where there should hap pen to be no local law there would be no law at all to punish even actual disturbance of the public peace. We would like to know how that wing of the Independents who be lieve In decenoy, and order, and mor ality, would like to be regenerated in that way. It's an old game for the congress, just preceding a presidential or a con gressional election, to show a spasm of economy and reduce expenses down to the lowest point, fie result is generally a large batch of defiGJen oy bills for the next session to pass upon. The last congress tried the same dodge, and the army and navy and the civil service are made to suf fer in order that the party may gain a reputation for economy. Such-shortsighted policy is only worthy of our model American statesmen. Union. There are no facts in existence that will justify the above bare assertion. The truth is, Congress has at each successive session since the war, been economizing and cutting down the expenses of the Government as the necessities for sustaining a large army and the varied offices of Government were diminished. In the last six years, by the economy of the Repub lican Congress, taxes have been re mitted at various times amounting to more than three hundred million dol lars annually. So It is not an old game for Congress to economize only before an election ; but it is an old game for the Demooratio leaders to resort to all manner of lying about the Republican party just preceding an important eleotion. WHERE. DOES THE MONEY GO? Somebody has ascertained the num ber of subordinate Grange. in the Unitedi States to be 19,492, up to June let, 1874. Then, if the average mem bership be fifty to the Grange, the ag gregate is 724,600 members. Of these we will say 543,450 are males, that 1b three-fourths the other fourth, 181, 150, are females. We estimate that it costs the men $5 each to become mem bers, making the sum of $2,717,250, and the women $2 each, which make $392,300, and making a total sum, for men and women, of $3,089,550. Now then, monthly dues. Each Granger pays ten cents a month $72,460 per month, amounting in one year to $S69,520. We may not be exactly correct in the basis of some of our calculations, but we at least approximate to the real faots and figures. An Intelligent Granger who figures very nearly from the same data that we do, concludes as follows : "Now the questions are, what Is the object? who is benefitted? and where does this enormous sum of money go to? A word to the wl6e is sufficient. Do men light a candle and put it un der a bushel?' Must we organize se cret societies, meet in private, draw curtains over the windows, and place a guard at the door, as if we were afraid or ashamed to have others see us at work in this "glorious cause?" Brother farmers and brother Gran gers, Ihave been through this Grange humbug, and know, by experience whereof I speak. I might point out many instances and absurdities, but for the present let this suffice. But it may be asked, don't you believe in farmers' organizations? Yes ; I be lieve in farmers' clubs and associa tions. And I know from actual expe rience that the farmers can and do cairy on successful organizations. But does the Grange do no good? Cer tainly it does good so far as it is edu cational and helps the farmers to un derstand and secure their rights. But Is there not a cheaper and better way ?" These suggestions are worthy of consideration if they are good for any thing, and it strikes us that the ques tion of expenditures spoken of is a serious matter with a great many poor farmers. If the benefits derived are worth the money expended then the Grange pays in more senses than one. We refer to this and all suoh mat ters with the beBt of motives. Our duty as a faithful journalist require U3 to point out to the best of our knowledge and information, any dan gers to which the people are subject, or any wrong which may exist or is threatened them. The question recurs where does all these-millions of money go to that Is paid to National and State Grange officers ? GENERAL NEWS. 'A Columbus, Ga., dispatch says that the first bale of new cotton was received there on the 7th, and sold by Allen, Prior & IHges, at the Foun tain warehouse, to Mr. C. G. Holme, at 21 cents. It was received from B. B. Barkley, Jackson county, Florida, aud classed as good ordinary. Capt. Munson, commanding Camp Ruggles, in a communication to the war department, dated July 31, 1874, states that the grasshoppers have de stroyed almost the entire crop of corn, oats, potatoes, &c, in the Loup and adjoining valleys. Captain Munson suggests that the farmers who have suffered this loss be employed in building the post, or in hauling ma terial for the same. He thinks it would prevent much suffering during the coming winter. Gen. Ord, In forwarding Captain Munson's report, indorsed it as fol lows! "If the building at the post can be erected bv the employment of oivilians, it will afford employment to the oitizens of the valleys now des titute of the necessaries of life, and will result in the interest of the coun try by retaining these people in the country." The report is forwarded from Gen. Sheridan's headquarters to the General of the army, whose at tention is invited to the recommend ation of Capt. Munson. Senator Hitchcock, in a letter to Gen. Ord asks that the money for material and labor in building the fort be spent among the suffering and be a blessed charity. The following dispatch has been re ceived in Washington : To the President of the United States : I am most happy to greet your excellency, the President of the United States of America, on this memorable occasion, for the nations which the eleotrio wire this day pla ces in immediate communication with each other, thus drawing oloser the bands of sincere and cordial friendship which happily unite them. The President of Uraguay. Over 200 dogs were killed in New York City last Saturday. It is alleg ed a boat takes the dead brutes to a certain island, where the skinning prooess is gone through with. A Hide Famine Predicted Advance in Leather. i'. :zwm The steamboat Pat Rogers burned just below Aurora, Ind., on the morn ing of the 5th inst. When the fire was discovered an attempt was made to run the boat ashore, but she was unmanageable, and striking a sand bar stuck there until burned down. There were about one hundred souls on board, about thirty of whom per ished were either burned to death or owned. The Louisiana Republican State Convention, recently held at New Orleans, adopted the following sensi ble resolution whioh, it is hoped, will be adhered to : Fifth. That duty and sound policy alike constrain us to nominate and support for office none but men of known honesty and capacity, and that men who are unmindful of the interests of the State, and whose rec ords are a reproach to the party, shall not be permitted to force themselves upon us for any position under any pretense whatever. Other resolutions passed endorse the State administration for pursuing the right course while contending with an organized system of villifica tion and misrepresentation at home and abroad, and denounce violence and the attempt to bring about a con flict of races, and pledge the party to give a fair election and to reduce the expenditures. The Republican Grangers of Indi ana have just beoomo disgusted with the new party movement, it having been swallowed up by the Demooracy. The Independents not long ago held a State Convention, whioh was at tended principally by Democrats, and Democratic measures were transacted. Since then the regular Bourbons held a convention and nominated the prin cipal part of the Independent ticket. Such embracing between so-called In dependents and old Bourbon Demo orate, the Republicans think to be a little too thin, henoe they go square back on the new party. Col. Hinman Rhodes is favorably spoken of for float member of the Legislature of his District. The Be atrice Express says : The Colonel's name is belncr exten sively used in connection with the caudidcoy for float member from this district, but so far as we have heard he has not asked for the place. His extensive acquaintance in Johnson. Pawnee and Lancaster counties would make him an available candidate, while it must be said that he posses ses abundant qualifications for the position. We had several years of intimate acquaintance with the Colonel, and would stake our bottom dollar on his integrity and honesty, even as a poli tician. If the voters of his diBtriofc eleot Col. Rhodes they will have a man who can't be bought. We take pleasure in saying a good word for an esteemed friend who we deem both meritorious and worthy. It is a faot worthy of note by true Republicans that wherever nomina tions have been made by the Inde pendents, In any of the States, the nominees are either life-long Demo crats or Republicans who left the par ty because they were not successful in getting office in it. In every instance the reformers pick up Democrats or renegades with whioh to reform the "body politic." Who can conceive of the mighty reformations that would take place If such a set of scalawags was to get possession of the govern ment? They wouldn't steal the shirt collar right off of Uncle Sam's neck, nor nothing would they? No, we guess not. Horse thieves In Southwest Missou ri latterly don't live long after their capture. The climate Is bad. This is how it happened to one of them : He found a rope, and picked It up. And with It walked away, It happened that to t'other end A horse was hitched, they say. They found a tree, and tied the rope Unto a swinging limb, It happened that the other end Was Bomehow hitched to him. The latest file of the Shoe and Leather Reporter contains the follow ing important announcement: The last European mail brings ad vices, received by Brazilian oable, to the effect that the kill of cattle the current season along the La Plata is 700,000 below the average. If this be true, Europe and America will be short that number of Buenos Ayres hides the coming autumn. So muoh reliance was plaoed on the information that the market for the best English tanned leatheradvanoed one penny (two oeuts) a pound. Pur chasers came forward to buy at old figures; but the English, who tan to make money, were firm at the ad vance. Australia leather showed more firm ness aud a tendency to advance. This is a oheap class of stock, and the riv al of hemlock tannage. The latest sales of Amerioan leather were effect ed at 13 to 13J pence for Buenos' Ajr res, 12 to 12J pence for common hide. aud 1H to 11 ppuco for buffalo hide leather. The supply is worked down pretty low, and it is expected we shall now see an increased export of this artiole, whioh is firmly established abroad. The threatened advance In hides will not be very welcome news to tanners, but with these exports of stock, and a comparatively small amount in tan at the present time, an active market may be looked for, a consummation devoutly to be wished. jTbe Secretary of the Treasury is ring a formal demand on the al Paciflo roads, embraced In the last June, requiring the pay- t of five per cent. oMhe netearn- f the companies to the goveru- Imnosed bv antof Jnlviofc 1RR9 - -., mj w AWWArf W demand is not complied with $ JZ !Kr n-3 ujn iuh oeurmary will the Attorney General, .who tate legal proceedings.agaljit lor delinquent jtax.es BfewtTaBroeok, a famous fXentuoky, was shot to be mortally wound- tMi.

The Omaha Union hopes Massa chusetts will go Democratic at the next election, and says that "will be the best thing that could happen to the State." This leading organ and "whooper up" for a new party also thinks it would be the best thing for Nebraska if it should go Democratic. We have an idea that a large majori ty of the people think differently. 'STAATZ ZKITUKG." We call the attention of our Ger man readers to the following which we take from the State Journal: Dr Renner, editor and proprietor of the Staatz Zeitung, is about to intro duce a new feature into his manage ment of that excellent paper. He proposes during the campaign, to is sue German papers in all suoh coun ties in the State as wish to participate in the advantages of this offer. He will issue the newspapers as though published exclussively in each of the several counties, and give it suoh name as the patrons may decide upon. They may leave the selection of the matter to him, or send him such ar ticles for insertion as they may desire, it making but little difference to the Doctor whether the articles are written in German or English, as he can readily translate those written in English. The Zeitung is a staunch Re publican paper, and the oampaign sheets will advooate the same princi ples aud none others. Our German friends In the various counties in the State will find this the beBt way of having their ideas and views upon the various political questions ably represented. Dr. Renneris one of the oldest politicians of the State, a splen did writer and a keen journalist. He gives his subscribers the best to be had, and his campaign sheet will be invaluable in those counties that are without a German paper. The Independents and the Democ racy of Iowa have been trying to form an alliance but will probably fail on I the currenoy question, as the Dsmo- craiio platform pronounces for imme diate return to speoie payments, while three-fourthq of the Independents are opposed to any suoh soheme.

The Independents of Kansas re cently met at Topeka and nominated a State ticket. All the candidates nominated are said to be Bourbon Demoorats, and the platform Is a re hash of Democratic principles.

The State Temperance Convention which met at Lincoln on the 5th inst. adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, That the present political parties are organically inoompetent in their respestive organizations to ben efit the temperance oause. Believing such to be the truth, therefore, Resolved, That we, as conscientious temperance men, cannot longer sup port either of the political parties. Resolved, That we, in mass con vention assembled, do hereby hearti ly endorse the call made by the State Central Committee for a State Prohi bition Convention. Resolved, That we endorse local op tion only when it becomes total prohibition. Resolved, That to license any crime is to participate in its commission. Resolved, That we endorse the ac tion of Gov. Talbot, of Massachu setts, and oommend the noble stand taken by him in his three distinct vetoes of the action of the legislature, tampering with the temperance laws of that State. COITBTY ST7NJDAY SCHOOL CONVEN TION. As previously announced,, a county Sunday sohool convention, for Nem aha oounty, was held on the 8th day of AuguBtin the- grove near the res idence of Esq. Kenoday. The morn ing opened up with all the appear ance of a rainy day, yet at the hour of nine o'clock there were many sunday schools represented by officers, teaoh ers, ohildren and banners upon the ground. Conspiciously among the banners we noticed one from London, one from Fairview, one from the Cumberland brick Church and one from Pleasant Hill school with appro priate scriptural mottoes on each. Isaac Black was chosen President. The London school lead in the sing ing of a Sunday sohool song, and Bro. Slaughter made the opening prayer. Mrs. T. L. Schick read a very well written essay upon the work of the Sunday school. Her thoughts were listened to very attentively and made a good Impression. Disousslon what Is it that most de mands our attention in the sabbath school work ? Bro. Slaughter insisted on system and good order. Bro. Taylor on sol id piety in the officers and teachers. Bro. Church thought officers and teachers should oome up to their po sitions through the Sunday Sohool, deeply impressed that the duties de volving upon them oould only be met successfully by those who expected to make a life work of it. Senator Tip ton was of the opinion that the Sun day Sohool work was not what it should and might be if church mem bers met their family duties at home properly. Children should not come to Sunday School to be controlled and governed, but to be instructed in the precepts of the especial Sunday school lesson. Bro, Hewefct was surprised at the drift of the disousslon thus far, thought the topic was for the purpose of inqniring what should be our Sun day School work, in view of the present social condition of society. The Rev. Mr. Baird opened the topio: How can we enlist the entire churoh in the sabbath school work ? The question was well settled in his mind that the membership should be engaged in this work. The work was varied in its nature, and all might find something to do. If one could not teach, another could. If one had not the means to contribute to its financial success, he could gather In the children. How to get them all at their peculiar work, consisted in con stantly aud patiently presenting to the minds of each the moral reasons and obligations Jwhich should move evew conscientious churoh member tp do all in his power for the spread ing of the gospel and the conversion of the world. The convention adjourned for din ner. The large grove wbb dotted over with family and neighborhood groups surrounding their baskets and im promptu tables, and for an hour dis cussed with merry hearts and good appetites, their bountiful dinners. After dinner Ellas Randall led the discussion: Is the whole ground oc cupied? If not, what is our duty in the premises? It was plain to him ho long aa there were points in the oounty where there was no Sabbath sohools, so long as there were ohild ren within thelimitsof schools which never attended the same, so long as there were scholars in Sabbath sohools not yet brought to a saving knowl edge in Christ Jesus, that the ground wa3 not fully occupied. He proposed a Board of three com missioners, whose duties it should be to provide the ways and means and see that the ground is ocoupied more fully than it now Is. Rev. Mr. Brltt thought our first duty was to see that the membership did not rust out, but that they kept their armor bright for the use of the Sabbath school work. Bro. Ebright thought tho present workers needed a little more of the invincible in their make-up. We must stand ready to obey the master with a determination whioh knows no failure. Such an army, however small In number, would take tho field for Christ. S. W. Kennedy and Judge Alex. MoKInney, pledged themselves to a work in whioh they have spent many years, with renewed energy. On Motion Alex. MoKinney, S. W. Kennedy and Elias Randall were ap pointed a committee to nominate of ficers for the coming year. They re ported the following whioh were du ly elected : Jarvis S. Churoh, President. The several Sabbath sohool Super intendents of the county were eleoted Vice Presidents. E. E. Ebright, corresponding Seo retary. Shel. Cochran, Recording Seo'y. Geo. Clark, Treasurer. On motion Jarvis S. Churoh was in structed to prepare the foregoing for publication in the Advertiser and Granger. The convention adjourned sine die. Jarvis S. Church. TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. Whereas, As the State Temper ance Central Committee has called a State Convention to be held in Ijin coln September 9th, for the purpose of nominating a full State ticket, and whereas they have recommended that the temperance voters of each county in the State hold a mass meeting at the county seat on the 5th of Sept., to eleot delegates to represent the coun ty in said State Convention. There fore, notice is hereby given by the undersigned County Central Commit tee, that said County Convention will be held at the court house in Brown ville, Saturday Sept. 5th, at one o' clock p. m., to elect eight delegates for the purpose aforesaid.

Larimore of Baton Rouge, La., and extensive and weal thy sugar-planter, was on 'change yesterday. Inasmuch as many of the newspapers of the South have been predicting for some time past that the sugar growing Interests of Louis ana were well nigh ruined by tho overflowing of the sugar lands, and that the crop of 187-i would be far be low the volnme of the orop of 1873 we applied to Mr. Larimore for informa tion upon the trustworthiness of the above reports. Mr. L. stated that he had iourneyed from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, and had information of interior points, and had had no ac counts of the sugar crop that would lead to any such conclusions. The distance from Baton Rouge to N. O. was one 130 miles, on both sides of the river nothing but sugar was raised. The talk about short crop from over flow was a mistake. Some fields were overflowed, but no great harm bad been done. From Baton Rouge to the mouth of Red river sugar and cotton were produced, and the sugar, was doing splendidly. The crop now growing was the best sjnoe the ena ing of the war. The average was very largely inoreased and the stand was heavy. He believed that more sugar weuid be raised in the United States this year than in 1873. As for talk about high taxes, that was all bosh. He owned 5,000 acres of valua ble land near Baton Rouge, worth $500 per acre and he only paid $1,200 per annum on it. Let Eastern men come in. They can make $100 per net. They can buy land at $25 per acre and raise $100 per acre in sugar, The molasses will pay all expenses. GAlTAiv The election in North Carolina has gone Democratic with increased ma jorities, and seven out of eight Con gressmen are Democrats, whioh is a gain of two members for them, The total amount of lumber inspect ed under the law in the Saginaw dis trict of Michigan, during the month of July was 43,514,453 feet.

Gov. Furnas has a big heart In him, but is commendably cautious as to his use of the pardoning power. The St. Joe Gazette demands, with a loud voice, that the Irish pIp. ment of that State be appeased by a piace on tne Democratic State ticket. It says that the party made a big blunder by ignorlm the Irish last election, and putting a German on the State ticket a German "who never had an idea above'his own clan nish, boorish theories," the Gazette pathetloally adds, which leads us to conjecture that the Demoorats of Mis souri nave lost theli grip upon the aforesaid "German element." Sate Journal. EUROPEAN MARKETS AND CROPS. A London correspondent of the Fi nancial Chronicle, writes, July 18th, as follows with regard to the Europen crops and market prospects: The weather had continued very fine for the growing crop3, aud in few early localities harvest work has al ready been commenced. It will not, however, be general in the South un til about Monday week. So far as wheat is couoearned, the promise is a good one, a full average yield of pro duce being anticipated. Some of the farmers assert, nevertheless, that mag nitude of the crop la exaggerated though they are compelled to confess that tbe yield will be larger than for some years past. In faot when we bear in mind that nearly all the con ditions have been iavoraDie, we can scarcely be led to believe that there will be any deficiency in the yield. Throughout the season there was but one dawbaok to a wealthy develope ment of the wheat plant, viz. : the untimely frosts of June. As these occur at the central period of the year, when the ears were peeping forth, some Injury may have been done and the yield thus curtailed ; but with this exception, the season has been unusually favorable. In France, harvest work has made rapid progress, and the south very lit tle remains to be done as regaras cer eals. Around Paris wheat cutting is in full operation, and in the north of France it has also being commenced. In Germany satisfactory progress has also been made, while Hungary the crops, though late, promise to be more abundant than has been antici pated. With the prospect of augmented supplies of wheat at an early date, millers are just now restricting their operations as muoh as possible. The tone of the markets remain dull, therefore, and prices have further de clined about Is per quarter. The mil lers, however, hold very short stocks, and it is obvious that when the new crop arrives freely some desire will be shown to make extensive purchases. A more cheerful trade may then be anticipated, and though some antici pate a considerable deollne in the pri ces yet there are many who, looking at the faot that there is no reserve of wheat in Europe, think that any ma terial reduction is Improbable. In September, no doubt, the farmers will dispose of a large quantity of wheat In order to provide for their Michelmas rents and to meet their harvest expen ses, but after that period they will be more cautious sellers. In the ooming season we are hot likely to have France a competitor In the foreign markets, and this faot naturally sug gests the idea that we shall be able to make our purchases abroad on more advantageous terms. Our conclusion is, from reports from all wheat growing oountries, that this cereal in this country, for the present year, has reaohed about its highest figures. We think the vast crops raised everywhere warrants suoh a conclusion. DISSOLUTION NOTICE. -7 OTICE is hereby given to all whom It Jl may concern, that the partnership of Thomas N.
