y?e have news that forty home
steaders, with considerable stook and
other surroundings,, ware recently de
stroyed by fire In Webster county,
this state.
James Jafferty, of RockvllIe.N. Y.,
killed bis grandmother, and robbed
her honso. Subsequently he Eliot
Mies Vanny, who had refusefl to mar
ry him, and "her mother and then
killed himself.
On the 23rd Inst. Attorney General
Williams tendered to the President
his resignation of his office, to take
effect May 15th. I Is denied that Mr.
Williams did this by solicitation of
President Grant,
It is not necessary' that a roan
should have a war record to make
him an efficient Congressman. Star.
Yet In the same artlole from whioh
we dip the above the writer thinks
that Congressmen from the South
should not only have "a war record"
but be an ex-rebel at that.
Andy Shore, of Hiawatha, Kansas,
was recently sentenced to the peni
tentiary for 18 months for swindling
a boy out of a span of mules. It ap
pears that Shore traded to the boy for
the mules a promissory note, on some
responsible man, which ho had forg
ed for the occasion, and that after
wards bo stole the note from the boy
and destroyed It.
There are three routes talked of for
the extension of the M. P. Railway
from Brownville. One is that along
tho river bank ; another, direct from
Nemaha City south via Falls City to
a conheotion with the St. Joe & Den
ver; another, dlreot from Nemaha
City to Salem. Which m route will
"come down" with the required
amount of subsidy, thereby aoquiring
the right of adoption by tho R. R.
company, of course we cannot aay,
Bnd havA hnrrilv nn ODlniOD OS to
whioh, but neither oneof those routes
need flatter itself .that it has a sure
thing over the others. The people
along the line of each proposod route
appear not to be asleep to their inter
ests but are making commendable ef
forts to raise the requisite subsidy.
PerhopB, however,; we may except
the Falls City! route. That prosper
ous young city appearsto be impress
ed with the idea that it does not need
the road very badly. It would take
the road and not make a fuss about It
If the road cannot find any other way
to get south. Some of the citizens
say they might poBsfbly raise twenty
thousand dollars by individual sub
pcrlptlon, but that the7." natural ad
vantages" of our neighbor, and the
natural disadvantages of the other
parts of the country, nre- Taoob as-tb
render the missing of Falls City an
absolnte'Irapossibllitjr. If the M. P.
goes on south in any direction, it will
be compelled, they say, to twlBt
around, up or down, and get to Falls
City before H can get away.
That is the way ourfriends at Falls
City talk about the matter, so far as
we haveheardtheml talk. They do
not care much" about the road the
road Is bound to go via that olty any
how the people on that line in Rich
ardson county would not vote any
bonds to secure the road. The people
In thejprecinots along that line do not
believe itwould be 'business to vote
bonds and tax themselves for an im
provement they can get without Buoh
expenso, andFalls City the same
and then a town mlcht enrinff un
nearer the oentre of the county that
would be most too formidable a rival
on the questions of trade, aud- county
seat honors, and so our pretty littio
neighbor ieally does not know wheth
er she wants another string to her
bow or not, but she Bincerely hopes
that If fate decrees her the M. P. it
will not be as great a curse as some of
her folks predict that It will be. As
to the probabilities and general re
sults to Falls City, we will not dis
cuss, for we oare not a ng which route

Wo learn that Mr. Croxton, of
Nebraska City Intends prospecting
for coal here. We think his efforts
would certainly be rewarded by boring
deep enough. A small vein has all
ready been discovered In the bluffs
along the river.
Dr. D. N. Hanlln, of Falls City,

Of the lynohing of a preacher who
preached a man,-loved by his neigh

Miss Alice A. Early, of Rock-ford,
111., in a suit for slander against Wil
bur F. Story, editor of the Chicago
limes, which reoently terminated,
received a verdict for $25,000. The
libelous matter published by the
Times was that a gentleman had been
detected in the night time in the act
of esoapiug en deshabelle from the
bed chamber of the plaintiff. The
verdict is generally regarded as a just
one.
It Is strange to us, If Mr. Boeoh
er b the iramaoulately pure Individu
al he would have people believe him
to be, that he would continue to hang
around Elizabeth after he had found
out that she oherlshed a guilty, of at
least a very Improper love for him;
yet he testified that they took a walk
together. He says he did not ask
Elizabeth If Bhe loved him on that
occasion, buktook It for granted that
she did. Was It In any degree proper
for him to encourage and foster such
a love? It will not do to say Beech
er did not know better.
ThatTthe Catholic Churoh Id trying,
by all Its powerful Influence, ounnlng,
impudence and arrogance, to get ab
solute control of the school system of
this country, Is unquestionable; and
that that ohuroh expeots great assist
ance from the Demooratio party, In
overturning fhe chief oorner stone of
the American idea of liberty, Is
equally true. As that churoh In this
country is always found on the side
of Demooraoyrwhen it comes to vote
(the exception is very small) on polit
ical Issues, so may the Democracy, ds
a party, be expected to be with the
Roman Cathollos, iiTthe desperate ef
fort they have Inaugurated to rule
America. The Kansas Chief in refer
ence to this subject says :
Those who look with a jealous eye
upon the ; encroachments of the
Churoh upon tho State, have abund
ant cause for apprehension In the
movements of the Catbollo Church to
prooure certain privileges inconsist
ent with the spirit of our laws and
institutions, and the readiness with
which the Democratic party accedes
to her demand, whenever it is in pow-
-j.no uainoiic Telegraph, of Cin-
tween two opinions," one of the oth
er two lines will "come to time."
I And as to there belnsr no feasible
-r
route except Dy 'ail8 Uity,; we are
well aware Is not a fact.
Tho river line Is entirely practica
ble, the subsidy In bonds and money,
we areinformedwili be available as
soon as the preoinots along the line
have had their"1 elections, and as to
there being no way for the road to
get away from Rulo except up the
Ne.maho to Falls City and then up
Walnut Creek, that is a falaoy, which
will be made apparent if tho river
route should be the favored one.
Some whom we have heard dis
cussing the probabilities of this or
that route, entirelyjjignore a thought
38 to a possibility for the Salem route
to be the luoky one; but our opinion
is, from the looks of the situation,
that the contest really lies between
the river and the Salem routes. The
people of Salem, and along that line
are working to secure the road with
muoh zeal. If we are oorrectly in
formed, they stand ready to give from
seventy-five thousand to one hundred
thousaud dollars additional to the
$37,000 which will be certain to be
given by Nemaha and Aspinwall pre
cincts. This would approximate the
amount required to grade, tie, and
bridge the road. This route we be
lieve is the shortest, lightest grade,
and henoe least expensive of any of
the routes named.
While at Falls City a few days ago
we were Informed that It would be
nearly Impossible to continue the road
on south from Salem, owing to the
bluffs on the west side of the Big
Nemaha, and that in case the road
did go to Salom It would be compelled
to turn down the Nemaha Valley to
Walnut Creek, at Falls City, to find
a way out to a connection with the
St. Joe & Denver. This Is another
delusion whioh our Falls City friends
ore harboring. Those who are ac
quainted with tho topography of the
country In and about Salem say there
i6 a way to go directly on to the St.
Joe & Denver by a light and easy
grado, as good as Walnut Creek would
be.
So, we repeat, that the M. P. will
ere long movo out southward, we
have no doubt, but the course it will
take from Nemaha City Is very doubtful.

seem absurd to some people. Altho'
the moral eminence may seem diffi
cult to reach, I would advise those
quarrelsome ones to try and take a
few steps in that direction. It might
oorreot in some measure the hab'lt of
continual "fault-finding."
What does it all mean ? A man

The temperance causo, with reference

There Is a reouperativo power in hu

clnnati, the organ of Archbishop
Purcell, says that two-thirds of the
Demooratio party of Ohio are Catho
llos and foreigners, and promises that
party the solid Catholio vote of the
rjtate, at the next eleotion. It cer
tainly means something when a pow
erful Churoh votes unitedly with ono
party. The eleotion of Kornan to
the Senate froa New York, and of
Wallace from Pennsylvania, shows
that the same influence sways the
Democratic party In those States. To
these faots may be added the other
significant one, that for the first
Ume in history, a Cardinal has been
nppointed In America, and it is in
contemplation to appoint two more.
Does it cot mean that the Churoh of
Rome is about making another mlgh--y
effort to pule America, andthatthe
Wemooratlo party is tho Instrument

Tho Lincoln- Star, rejololng over
the recent light Demooratio viotory
In Connecticut, says "the people are
unable to see any terrible consequen
ces that are likely to ensue from the
sixty-eight ox-rebel officers which will
be In the next Congress." The Star
is right. The people need not be
alarmed, Beriously, bo long as they
have a Republican President and
Senate to veto and defeat any treason
able designs which the said sixty-
eight and their Demooratio co-laborers
may have on the constitution and
life of tho nation. But suppose these
rebels get control of all the depart
ments of Government and branches
of legislation, as the Star hopes and
predlots could the people in such
case Bee any terrible consequences?
Most certainly they would and that
right speedily. As It was In the days
of Buchanan bo It would again be.
The country would be delivered over
to the ex-rebels, the constitution and
laws would be trampled under foot,
the peculiar institutions of rebel De
mocracy reestablished, and the great
and good results of the rebellion, so
dearly acquired, by blood, and. treas-
1 ure,b all swept away.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
I wish to occupy a small Bpace In
your columns to give my views in re
lation to politics and the Grange, and
In doing so I have no other object In
view, but to Berve the best "interests
of the agricultural community. In
the constitutional prohibition and in
the Initiation of members to the or
der each and every ono Is positively
and sacredly assured that there la
nothing In the Order that will in any
manner Interfere with his or her re
ligious or political Ideas. These were
two dangerous rooks that the' found
ers of the Order wisely pointed oiit-r-rooko
which, ;if not avoided, would
be sure to destroy the farmers' organ
ization. The central and grand idea
of the Order was the advancement of
agriculture and the Booial and moral
Improvement of the farmers and
those engaged In kindred pursuits.
These were surely honorable nnd
oredltable designs ; and If oarried out
in eood faith would be productive of
muoh good. Every selfish personal
or partisan political design, whether
open or oovert, whether direotor sim
ulated was positively "aud distinctly
forbidden to orosslits threshold. Not
that it was intended in the least to
prohibit or discourage any member
from exercising the right of franchise,
or from holding suchj political opin
ions as he might'ohooae. It was not,
however, intended that tho Grange
should debase itself by.forming a po
litical party to oarry out measqres
that wouldlalono benefit a particular
class, or to dabble In questions of a lo
cal or partisan nature ; or In other
wordH, it was not intended that Gran
gers, as suoh, should form a separate
party at all. Political aotlon was
named as the on6 fatal error that the
Grange should avoid. No other sub
ject was given similar prominence.
This fact showed how wisely the
founders of the Order calculated the
power for mischief that lay in this
direction, should It be preoipitated on
the order by selfish polloy. Now, Jn
the face of these facts, how is It in
thlsoounty? Why,lt Is openly pro
claimed that the Grangers have form
ed an Independent (?) party. Is this
carrying out in good faith the oft re
peated declarations and secret'pledges
of the Order that this was wnot a po
litical organization. By taking this
oourse the Granges have lost that
prestige and power for good that they
once proudly possessed. Before this
action was taken they were a power
in the land. Where are they now?
Tho agricultural and finanolal stimu
lus that emulated them has almost
entirely fled, and the peaoeful and
harmonious feeling3 tbatshould bind
Its members close within its curtains
are fast vanishing. Now this is no
fancy picture, noohimera of an ex
cited Imagination, but facts, that can
readily be established. Now, who Is
to blame, who is responsible for thU
deplorable state of affairs? Probably
no one in particular. But when ac
tive politicians (In the early stages of
tho Grange movement In our county)
deolare that they Intend to get into
the organization to run it into politics
that the foremost man would get
the spoon. That they had sucked a
government teat and would do it
again, and actually do get In and run
it that way. It looks rather suspi
oious, you know. There must be
something "rotten in Denmark, for
Grangers to be crying out against pol
iticians and let one run the machine
all the time. "OI consistency thou
art a jewel."

TIIE ST. DEROIS "MUSS."
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
You will confer a favor on the un
dersigned by publishing my reply to
a few ftems which have appeared In
your paper recently..
About the 10th of December, 1874,
there was an article among the Saint
Deroin Items, that Dr. Pitzgerald
had gone to Illinois in search of a lo
cation, and that Dr. Williams was
making from $50 to $100 per day, and
was signed "C. A. G." I answered
my part of It, but Dr. W. was, at
that time, suffering from a severe
drunken spree and not able to be up,
and was having drunken fits, and his
neighbors went in and cared for him,
and I am not able to account for how
or where the $50 or $100 per day was
made. Since then there hea been
several slurs thrown at mo through
the papers by, I suppose, the same
low-flung, degraded, undermining,
two-legged dog, that signed his name
"C. A.-G." I have-, up to thlB time,
allowed It to pass almost unnoticed,
and I would do bo yet only for the
benefit of those unaoquainted at this
place. I have practiced medicine
here over two and a half years, and
havo bad good success. I have lost
but one patient since February, 1874,
and that was Mrs. Riohardson of
whom there has been bo many lies
told. James Riohardson cam to my
'house and In the presence of three
adult witnesses besides myself, em
phatically denied that he had ever
acoused me of killing his wife, or giv
ing her medioine to kill her, and Bald
that any one who accused him thus
told a d d lie. But still there Ib
some mean, low-lived scoundrel who
tries to make a great talk of it, and
busy himself with other people's af
fairs, not having enough of his own
to make a living at.
I also see an independent article in
the Advertiser of the 15th Inst.,
signed 'by E. M. Williams, M. D.,
olalmlng that he has all the respecta
ble practice in this community. If
such is the case there is but d d lit
tle that is respectable, and he Is pub
lishing a very poor opinion of his
neighbors. I believe when the Doc
tor was sober he had a reasonable
share of the praotlce, bnt a good part
of the time he has not been able to
judge whether they were respectable
or not. They may give their own
opinion of him. I have had from
half to two-thirds of the practioe in
this vicinity Bince Dr. W. lias been
here. I do not play the quaok to ad
vertise, nor try to take any other doc
tor's praotlce. I did not'ron off from
Missouri because of certain laws pro
hibiting dootors from collecting, who
were not graduates. Neither have I
two diplomas. I think one is enough
for a new beginner.
Now, Mr. C. A. G., or any other
man who has nothing to do only pub
lish lies, juat;keep on if you choose,
though you are making me more
praotlce than you take away. Yet I
am not asking for praotlce, nor do I
have any one drumming for me in
that Uno.
As I am willing you shall know
who wrote this I will not sign myself

DIED,
At Peru, Nebsaska, April 11th, Mrs.
Margaret McViokere aged 42 yearn.
In 1849, at Anahllt, county Down,
Ireland, MIsa Margaret McKee was
married to Mr. Eobert MoViokers.
She was a sister of Rev. J. G. McKee,
founder of the MoKee Sohool for
Freedmon,;at Nashville, and of Rev.
J. P. MoKee, now Missionary to In
dia. In 1S50 Mrs. MoVickers, with her
husband, came to New York City,
and in 1854 removed to Scroggsville,
Ohio, finding there a place they havo

From childhood she has been a con
sistent, earnest, cheeful follower of
the Master, exemplifying In a rare
manner the spirit of true Chiistianity,
She looked with eBpedal pleasure to
her connection with D. Eastman's
oburch at Scroggsville. In the rjion
eer church at North Beud, she was a
faithful aud efficient worker..
For several years she has been an
invalid and for weeks suffered excru
tiating pain, but she bore it with, a
serenity whioh elioted our admiration.
The Biek room was made attractive by
her pleasant words and sunny smiles.
"She fell asleep in Jesus." The
life of so true a Christian mother ceas

Corpus Christi, Tex., .April 24.
A letter from Corlzo, Tex., says :
Dr. Lovell, who was murdered by
Mexicans on the 19th, was surprised
and shot six times. They robbed the
postoffioe, and attempted to break
open the safe of the Custom House,
but failed. Dr. Lovell had many
friendB, and a feeling of retaliation
for the brutal murder Is exhibited.
Couriers from all portions of this
frontier report large bands of armed
Mexicans moving this was.
Yesterday a party of fifteen Ameri
cans, who were endeavoring to ascer
tain the stato of affairs in the vioiuity
ofJLaparra ranohe about fifty miles
from hero, were attacked by forty
Mexicans. A short fight ensued.
One Mexican was killed and one tak
en prisoner. The Americans lost
none, but being outnumbered, were
compelled to retreat, but Immediately
summoned help from here. About
fifty armed Americans left here to
night, and as many more will leave
to-morrow to meet these raiders who
have foroed tho operator to leave Lap
arra, and have cut the line.
On tho 22d the line repairer from
this plaoe started out to repair the
line fand was ohased for three miles.
They fired several shots at him, but
he escaped Into the timber. These
Mexican bandits seem determined to
keep telearapb communication with
Brownsville out off. Tho people of
this portion of Texas are goaded to
desparatlon and are determined these
things shall cease.
