Philip Leser, a German, on the 20th Inst., at West Belleville. 111., fell dead on the street. Hie death was caused by apoptexy brought on by intemperance. The police of New York recently made a raid on the gambling institu tions of the city. Of course the gambling house., of John Morrlssey and othei noted Democrats were not molested. President Grant, it is reported has sent an? order to Minister Washburne at Parte to at once return to this coun try. It la conjectured that Wash burne Is wanted to take a place in the Cabinet as Secretary of State. Wm. M. Tweed received a vote for Governor in Brooklyn. Exchange. Tweed takes the place of Jaokson, with many Democrats, for Jockson is dead, they have discovered, and Tweed Is only in the penitentiary.

The next session of our Legislature should enact a law making it a peni tentiary offense to place bogus tick ets in the field, purporting to be what they are not, and thus doceiving many voters who do not read and compare tickets from top to bottom. Such an act wonlcl onng about, a much needed reform, and as a meas ure of reform, the Republican party. v.-hich is the party of reform, should take the responsibility on its nhould ors of ja?3inj; nn act that, will to a certain extent, do away with the base deception and fraud used in elections. Orand Island Independent. If "the party of reform" will do that thing it will he the best thing it ha3 ever done In Nebraska, and will be at least one step in the right direc tion toward putting a stop to election corruptionism. We second your rao- tion. Mr. Independent, and will stand square with you on that. But why not provide for the primarv eleotion system of making nominations, also, while we are about it?; What say you, 'Beatrice Express and Saline County Post, about joining these two points in one law. and urging them for adoption. Nebraska City News. The depth of wisdom evinced by the suggestions above thrown out to an ignorant world Is truly remarka ble. Probably not within the last ninety-nine yeara has anybody before had an idea that It was Improper for people and parties to nominate can didates by any method they might choose, or not nominate at all, or that it was a matter which should be made criminal for a man to run for office independent of "primaries," or cau cusses, or conventions, and for people to make and vote any kind of ticket they saw fit and call it by an3' name they had a mind to. What a nice mess such swell-head "reformers" as the News man would make of it If there were enough fools in the Legis lature to adopt his ridiculous notions. of the London very unfriendly A correspondent Times writes that a feeling Is "springing up" between France and Germany. We did not think there was a very friendly feel ing existing between those countries for a few years back, and that a feel ing would not have far up to spring to be intensely bitter. The National Women's Tempor anco Convention was in session at Cleveland Ohio last week. A resolu tion was adopted for the appoint ment of a committee to consider the practicability of establishing a paper in the interests of the woman's tem perance cause.

Is it strange that a paper who used to rejoice over rebel victories and siill laments over the downfall of treason should have a cooluess towards bull pups? The cur department -would suit that class of papers better. The editor of the News would not "like it first-rate," and could not be induced to support General Sherman, because he and Gen. Grant have always been harmonious and believe In handling white leaguers and rebel democracy In a kind of bull pup style. The Women's National Temper ance Convention which was in ses sion at Cleveland, Ohio, last week, adopted tho name of "Women's Na tional Christian Temperance Uniou." Anna Whittemeyer, of Philadelphia, waB elected President for the ensuing year, and Frances B. Wlllard, of Chicago, Corresponding Secretary. The convention adjourned to meet again next November. The precise time and the place will be named hereafter by the Board of Managers. The Columbus Journal, Neb., pub lishes tho following Important deci sion : A writ of mandamus was applied for to compell the Commissioners of Antelope county to issue the bonds of a precinct of that countv for tho our- ii3ouiuuimiDga Dnage within the preoln. t. The parties applying for the writ were represented by Rent ier Esq., of Schuyler, tho Commis sioners by Messrs.

Francis X. Jacquement, a priest of the Catholic Church, has sent his resignation to Archbishop Bagley announcing his abandon ment of the Catholic faith and his re turn unto the Presbyterian Church, in which he was born and raised. Father Jacquement has been attend ing young men's prayer meetings at Dr. Leyburn's Church during the past week, and on "Wednesday an nounced his conversion to Protestant Ism. Ho Is a native of Geueva, Switzerland, and was ordained in this country in 18G0. Since then he has been a missionary priest in the Uni ted States, Cuba, and in various por tions of Europe, and has reoently been connected with St. Peter's Church in Baltimore. 61 The Nebraska City Chronicle at tacks Dr. Stewart, Superintendent of the Insane Asj'Ium, as follows: "Among the blessings which the rctiral of Gov. Bob Furnas, and his kitchen cabinet will bring the people of Nebraska, we may hope, will be some one in Dr. Stewart's place in the lusane Asylum, who will think more of the unfortunate inmates than of entertaining company, cabals and carriage horses, to the exclusion of patients. We have now on hand and have had for months, a very crazy woman in Otoe couniy, whom he can find no place, because, we presume, she would be a troublesome patient, and take up some of the room devot ed to his tableand stables. The sr on er officials learn that the Asylum was built for patients, and not politicians, the better." Where Dr. Stewart is known the slanders and venomous words of the Chronicle will do him no harm, and the Chronicle's unscrupulous aptness in dealing in uugentlemanly Inuen does and epithets is so well known by those acquainted with that sheet, that Its intelligent fair minded readers will at least suspect the attack on Dr. Stewart as unfounded, unjust and malicious. Now, it is false that Dr. S. entertains "company, oabals," Scc, to the neglect of his patients, and It is an atrocious lie that he entertains cabals at all. It is false that he neg lects or avoids any insane person be cause they are troublesome nothing is further from the truth, for Dr. Stewart Is a kind hearted, humane gentleman, and takes a pride in dis charging his whole duty. The insin uation embraced in the remark that "the sooner officials learn that the asylum was built for patients, and not politicians, the better," is the thrust of a coward, and au assassin of char acter, who seeks to injure his victim hy vile hints and Insinuations rather than by open, direct charges and spec ifications. If politicians were ad mitted there to the exclusion of pa tients, the editor of the Chronicle would be the first to seek entertain ment, if he is reported correctly. If Otoe county has a "very crazy wo man," she can be admitted to the asylum, and will be when application is made in a proper manner and it is possible to find a place for her. We know that the room In the asylum is ETAVCIC v srVUBBEii-GOOD. The Nebraska City News took oc casion last week to mention the Beat rice Express, in. connection with the Neivs, as au independent paper of the same stripe the Ntws pretends to be, and on oilier occasions has classed the Exjiress with itself as a co-worker in the same independent field. We looked for the Express to snub it, which ifdoes in the following very sensible article: The Nebraska City Neivs thinks It worth while to make mention of the fact that the Express, with other pa pers, are independent Republican journals. If it is supposed by the News that the Express has any Inclin ation to become "independent" in the sense in which this word is so often used in its application to newspapers that act with neither one party nor the other, but that, like a predatory band of outlaws, attack friends and foes alike, it is mistaken. If it sup poses that we are "independent" so far as to refuse to stand by with our hand on the organ handle, ready to grind out whatever musio is ordered by half a dozen men who assume to dictate the policy of a party even down to the minutest details; then it is correct. A newspaper can either surrender up its individuality and its conscience and become an inert part of a political machine, or it can, while recognizing fundamental differences between parties "and acting with that party which best expresses its politi cal convictions, retain its right to be "independent" in its criticism of men and measures put forth by its politi cal friends. The newspaper that serves Its party best is not the one that Is blind to its faults. GENERAL SEWS. Jfc5MES Aff CASETAtTIES.

This the Chronicle well knows, and were it disposed to be just it would admit the fact at once. Democratic newspapers all over the land, from the size of the New York World and Sun clear down to the Ne braska City Neivs and Nemaha Grang er, rejoice over the defeat of John A. Dix for Governor of Now York. They generally admit that he made au ex cellent Governor, but still they never liked him since he gave that memor able and patriotic order "if any Dem ocrat undertakes to tear down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." Those may not ba tho o..t words ho used, butDemocracy always knew that that was what he meant, and that if anybody had had their spot perforated by a Union bullet it would be a Democrat, for in those days nobody but Democrats ever en gaged in the unpatriotic business of trampliug underfoot the American flaff. Geo. D. Cannon, the Mormon Del egate elect to Congress from Utah, is to have his seac contested by R. N. Roskln, Gentile opposition candidate, because he has been too much mar ried to ElizaH, Zellas, Marthas, Eliza beths, Sarahs, and so on. In reply to tho notics of contest, Cannon etates that at the ofection he received some twenty-four thousand votes to four thousand cast for his opponent. Hei denies being a Mormon, or that ho has entered into relations with any woman of such character, or In suoh manner as to subject himself to pun ishment for any offense under the act of Congrets of 1861. A delegation of nine Chippewa Indian Ch'iefs are- at Washington City. They have had a talk with the commissioner of Indian attalftrand expressed a desire to cede the country now occupied by them in Dakota, and go to the White Earth country on the Missouri river or elsewhere, provided they are properly recompensed. If this cannot be done they wish the land which they occupy to be mark ad as theirs. They begged to be ex cused from the discussion of the sub ject at present on the ground that they all had bad colds and couldn't talk, ed. THE TRTJJfK R. R. via FALLS CXTY. It seems that the citizens of Falls City have their eyes upon the Trunk, or Midland Extension R. R. The following comuaunlcation in the Jour naflast week, from the pen of Mr. E. R. Richardson, suggesting a com mittee of business men to visit Dr. Converse appears to mean business. Those towns below on the river have got to wake up and work for their own direct interests, or the Trunk road will diverge from the river at Nemaha City. Mr. Richardson sa-s : "We are informed by good authori ty that the Trunk Road is now beini: rapidly pushed forward to completion. The grading is already nearly done as far as Brownville. The necessities of the Pennsylvania Central require a connection of the M. P. R. R. with their line running west from St Jos eph, which will give them au outlet over their own road through from Liucoln to New York. By examining the map all will see that the point at which they will in tersect the St. Joe &, Denver is at or near Hiawatha, and-that that road must como thro' and cross "the A. & N. R. at Falls City. What aid they will ask from this county we do not know, or even that they will ask any, but that this road will be most speed ily completed, we have no doubt. Ar rangements are now being made to extend tnosame road north from Ne braska City to Omaha. We would suggest that a committeo of promln- uiit men nving aiong tne line be rais ed for the purpose of consulting with the Doctor and ascertaining what the prospects are and wlmt steps are nec essary to be taken to insureuJost cer tain and speedy action.

Leech, Captaiu of tho In ternational Team of Irish Riflemen, who recently left for Ireland, publish ed a caid, bidding good-bye to those who entertained them in thiscountry, as follows j "We shall always bear in mind our trip to America in 1874, and ever re member with pride and pleasure that we have made the acquaintance, may I not rather say, friendship of many citizens with whom we consider it an honor to have been so associated. I trust that next yent it may be my happiness to unite with others in hon oring our friends from America on the occasion of their visit to Ireland In June, 1875. The eager anticipation with which we all look forward to that meeting is the best measure of the hearty gratitude with which we now say farewell." "spring" at the foot ; vests are Invari- bly of the same material of the coat ; black and very dark gray English goods are used. The Salt Lake City Tribune says: "Whenever a polygamous wife wants to locate a homestead she calls her self a 'widow.' Uncle Sam has been swindled out of thousands of acres of land in Utah by this widow dodge. We have requested the Register of the Land Offioe to furnish the names of these widows for publication in the Tribune. . A dispatch from McClellan'a Creek states that 200 Choyennes, who recent ly engaged Capt. Farnsworth'a com mand of 25 men and were defeated, encountered 98 men of the U. S. cav alry and Infantry in command of Lieut. Baldwin, Chief of Scouts and after a fight lasting five hours were driven from the field. Tho Indians lost their entire outfit and left behind them two little girls named Germon, whose parents, brother and older sis ter were raasBacred in Kansas. The White family were moving to Colora do. Two othersisters, aged 13 and 15, are still in the hands of the Indians. Fresh and nicked troons have none in pursuit of tho Indians who arc moving for the Staked Plains. News from the grasshopper districts confirms all previous statements as to extent of suffering. The State Re lief Society is shipping supplies daily to the afflicted districts. Gen. Ord received a telegram from Washington Instructing him to ascertain what amount of men's olothin? will be s9 needed by the. sufferers. We hope this action of the Secretary of War looks to the distribution of soldiers' garments to these poor people. Sup plies of clothing, but not sufficient to meet their wants, have already been issued by the War Department. The St. Joseph Herald says, "Of the 175 Congressman elected this fall, there have been but three representa tives of our several millions of colored people chosen. This number will, however, without doubt, be increased to four. Only one colored man will be a member of the Senate, and hia will be the seat once occupied by Jef ferson Davis. LOWELL CORRESPONDENCE. Nov. 21. dient. Another Interview wasarraug- The West Point Republican, with regard to the selection of a U. S. Sen ntor, says ; We ask and in dotngso, would not reflect upon those who have goue be fore I hat the best mau of tho com monwealth, without regard to the lo cation or political Influence, bechoaen to fill thH trying and difficult position of U- S. Senator. Tho suggestion that the best mau of the State, without regard to loca tion ought to be chosen, is really the proper way to look at the matter, for the best man would certainly be an honest man, and if honest, would rep resent every part of the State, with out partiality or favoritism. And we have no serious objections to that sug gestion, but we could not admit at present mac me Dest men all live in anyone city or section of the State. The Republican's desire that the man should be selected without regard to "political influence" wesineerely hope and expect will uot be gratified. Wp would respectfully ask our Legisla ture, Jf It were not presumptuous and su perilous to do so, that a good Re publican who has the most political influence be chosen. Political influ ence should beat east second in qual ification to honesty &nd-goodness. For tho sake of "my constituents," we beg do not send any more wooden men to represent Nehrask,a in. the National Congress. The Atchiuson Champion gives the official vote of Kansas, excent five counties, and these are small coun ties on the frontier, polling light voles, almost wholly Republican.

The majority for the Republican candi date for Lieutenant Governor is 18, 715 ; for Secretary of State, 1S.SS0 ; for State Auditor, 19.5S7; for Treasur er, 7,267. The majority for Colonel runups, Kepublican candidate for Congress from the First District, Is 8,000. Tho dead body of John Koch, with a bullet hole in his neck, was found near Breeze Lake, a few miles from East St. Louis, on Thursday last. Koch started out on a hunting expe dition a few days before, and when found his gun and other huntiug ap paratus were missing and his pockets turned inside out, indicating he had been murdered. An inquest was held on the body and a verdict rendered of murder by persons unknown. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Dillon, of the U. S. Circuit Court made an importantdecision un der ourstttute9, at Omaha on Friday. It was in the1 case of tho First Nation al Hank of Omaha vs. Douglas coun ty, when an injunction was asked by tne plaintiff to restrain the defendant from colleoting taxes assessed and lev ied under the revenue laws of the State for tho year 1874 upon the shares of the share-holders in the hank, and which tax was about to be collected by entering the bant and seizing its property. The application was deni ed and the bill dismissed, Judge Dil lon in his opinion fully sustaining the validity of the law taxing shares In national banks and the action of county Treasurer in collecting said tax es; if necessary, by a seizure of tho bank property. The deoision will probablj be satisfactory to tax-payers i" Keerai. &tate journal. mis case nas been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The First National Bank of Brown- vuie paid Its taxes last week but- did it under protest, awaiting the final decision of the Supreme Court, and if Judge Dillon's decision is reversed the county wilLrefund to Mr. Carson the taxes he paid, as per existing agree ment entered, into. The amount of taxes paid" by the Brownville bank was about $3,500. The Nebraska City News was twen ty yearr old on the 14th inst. Tbos.

The Advertiser is the oldest paper in Nebraska at this preeent period of moment. There Is talk of a newspaper being started soon at Republican City, Har lan county, Nebraska. If one-fourth of the reports of the destitution of the people of that county are true, it would be a rather elim support that a paper wouia get until more prosper ous times arrive. Between two and three hundred boxes of tea were smashed to pieces by the recent wrecking of a freight train near Stanton on the B. & M. road. Piles of the tea were abandon ed, aud the neighboring farmers laid in generous supplies. D. H. Williams, late cashier of the Connersville, Pa., bank, was recent ly convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to hve years in the tentiary. An attempt was made on Thursday j night last to rob the Nebraska City National bank. Two masked men succeeded in breaking into the build iug, when they undertook to smother the cashier with a pillow. As he ob jected to being smothered with a pil low they desisted and tried to shoot mm, nut only succeeded in shooting the pillow. The cashier then drew his pistol and shot and hit the door. Then tho robbers retired by the back door. The door and pillow, with lit tle work, can be made nearly as good as new. The West Point Republican has dis carded its Chicago outside and is now printed eutlrely at home, which is indicative of prosperity and honest pride. The Republican is, by the way. one of the best local papers in the State. Lowell, Neu Editor Nebraska Advertiser. In behalf of the destitute and suf fering in the Republican Valley, per mit me to acknowledge through the Advertiser tho reception of a1 car load of supplies for them, from my old neighbors at Peru. It is espec ially grateful to me that they have so remembered my present suffering neighbors. The supplies were time ly and appropriate and have been dis tributed by the gentlemen who were named by the donors with myself for that purpose. A recent trip to the valley has made me more immediately cogniz ant oi tne state ot things there. A large proportion of tho people are almost wholly destitute of the means of support, &nd must live until next harvest, if they live at all, by the generosity of the humane, or the pro vision of the government. Many individual Instance of suffer ing might be given. Let one suffice. At a place where I stopped in Furnas county, a lady called who had three small children, and whose husbaud was absent huutiner buffalo, and with some hesitation, asked to borrow a pail, of salt. Upon inquiry as to her object, she burst Into tears, said she aud her- children had been two days without food, and that her cow had died as it subsequently appear ed, in a diseased condition and that she wished the salt to preserve and use some of the flesh for food. Her wants were temporarily supplied without such a resort. But how all that are destitute are to be fed and clothed for so long a time, is a ques tion ot almost appalling magnitude. Yours, A. D. Williams. . While John Dinckerraan and little son, ten years of age, were out hunt ing, near Mascoutah, 111., recently, the father's gun slipped from his hands and striking the ground it was discharged, tho contents carrying away the lop of his son's head pro ducing inatdnt death. At Pitt3burg, Pa.. Gottllold Wall was murdered on the 11th inst. A coroner's jury has found that Wm. Murray committed the murder and thatFrederiofe Meyers is accessory to the crime. The Cincinnati Enquirer's special from Lexington, Kentucky, says the Ku Klux on Sunday night, ten miles from that nlace. near Athens, shot and wounded a negro slightly, and shot and probably mortally wounded Dr. Steve Easton. A man named Scales was recently murdered near Boonville, Ind., and the body thrown into a cistern near Horn Coal Mine. In a fire at the gas works at Mt. Sterling, Ky., a negro and a boy named Queen were burned to death. In regard to the recent dispatch sent by order of the President to the Governor of Texas, it Is stated that without forming or expressing any opinion as to whether or not Satanta had violated his parole, the President and Secretary Delano fearincr he might be exeouted before evidence could be collected, considered it mere ly just to delay his execution. It Is reoently ascertained that during Gov. Davis' incumbency the sentence of Satanta was commuted from death to Imprisonment for life. Under this commutation he has recently been placed in the Texas Penitentiary. J, M. League, Jr., recently stole a horse near Auburn, Mo., and was ar rested Boon afterwards aud taken to Auburn for examination. He con fessed the theft and was committed for trial. The constable, with a pos se of four men, started with League to take him to Troy, Mo., to the coun ty jail. While on their way a com pany of masked men iode out from the brush, knocked the officer from his horse, overpowered the guard, and shot the prisoner through the breast. The horse, on which League was tied became frightened and ran oft thro' the woods and brush. When League was afterwards found be was still alivo but badly hurt and the clothes torn from his body. He will die from the effects of his Wounds. He had served two terms in the peniten tiary for horse stealing. John D. Lee, now in prison at Beaver, Utah, charged with being connected with the Mountain Mead ow massacre of 1857, when 120 emi grants were murdered, it is said will give the true history of tho whole af fair, and names of parties Interested.

A few days ago two men were murdered at Carbon dale and three severely wounded. On the day following Patrick Padden, au Irian miner, was found with two bul let holes through his head, within the limits or that city. The hair of his Reports from the StfiieBoard of Agri cultureReliable Reports of t lie Destitution. Atchison, November 21. The Daily Champion publishes from ad vance sheets of official reports made to tho State Board of Agriculture, soma statistics showing tho destitu tion, existing iu several of the front ier counties of the State. There are seventeen counties in which an ag gregate of 158,000 acres have been planted in corn produced not a bush el of thi3 cereal j five of these coun ties produced an average crop of wheat, rye, uats barley and buck wheat, and are abundantly able to re lieve any individual cases of destitu tion in their midst. Other twelve oounties having an aggregate popula tion of 23,887, as shown by tho State census taken last June, are all on re mote frontiers, and settlement with in them have all been made within the last three years. The eight in which the greatest destutioh prevails, viz., Lincoln, Nation, Osborne, Phil lips, Pawnee, Rice, Rock and Smith, have been populated within the last year or two, and the greater part of their population settled within their limits either last spring or the pre ceding fall. These eight counties have an aggregate population of 17,4 96. The settlers generally had their first crop planted; They had expended all their means in building their hous es and putting in their crops. The drouth and grasshoppers wrought the total destruction of everything they had planted, leaving them totally destitute. They are without either food, clothing or fuel to sustain them until they can produce something on which to live, and must be sustained by charitable contributions of people in otuer sections oi tne state ana country at large. The Champion computes the num ber of destitute in the State at from 20,000 to 25,000, but of these many ard located in the older counties where the crops with the exception of corn, were a fair average, and the fortunate citizens are able and willing to help their destitute neighbors, but in eight counties destitution Is very general. and almost the whole population will need more or less assistance. At least 15,000 people must be assisted during the winter and until another crop is grown. AtSeAZ. A mcrr. ha&L mt .
