THURSDAY, AUG. 19. 1875.
To the ltcpufolican Yotcrs of Xemalia
4 County.
Ve are upon tho eve of nnotber election,
nnd Ills Important that wo seriously consid
er the Issues, and to measure our actions as
tosuhsrrveour highest Interests. Onr first
aim nhoulrf always he lo preserve In Its vig
or and strength the National Government of
the United States. In no other manner can
domestic peace- and tranquility, and the
greatest happiness of the people be seenred
or preserved. Tho loyal people of the United
States need no new Illustration of this truth.
' The Republican party has but one oppo
nent, whatever name the opposition may
assume, whatever disguise it may wear,
it Is but the Democratic party. In the ap
proaching national election which occurs on
tho centennial anniversary of our Indepen
dence, there will bo bntthe two parties. It
-wilt be a contest of great magnitude, and
will involve Issues which we have too con
fidently believed were forever settled. One
more rout to the Republican party In 1S76,
such as it sustained In 1874. and the nation
will pass irrevocably into the hands of the
Democratic party. It Is useless to disguise
this fact, for both parties know nnd feel its
truth, and both are measuring the ground
accordingly.
And what have we to hope from such a re
sult? Did the Government pass Into the
hands of the loyal Democracy, our fears
would be less; but tho unholy alliance; the
already alarming ascendency of the late open
ememlesof the Government In the national
congress, are calculated to inspire us with a
deep apprehension of danger. That the
next congress will contain eighty-four mem
beta who recently bore arms against the Na
tional Government, is a circumstance of
such startling importance as should arouse
all Republicans to a sense of the danger and
of their duty. With this increase of mem
bers and representation, their purpose and
scntlmentsaro less concealed, and the coun
try is recently Informed that "Nation" Is to
them an odious word.
There Is an intimate connection between
municipal and State elections, nnd elections
ior officers under tho United States Govern
ment. It Is Impossible that tho majority of
the States should be under the control of
one party, and the National Government in
the control of theothor. That party which
lills the most State and municipal offices,
will control tho National! Government.
Every defeat which a party sustains In a
municipal election, enervates and demorali
zes it In all succeeding elections, of whatever
character. No party can throw off its poli
tics three ycarsout of fonr.and maintain Its
vigor unimpaired on the fourth; and the
party which undertakes to do so, with the
belief thatlt,ls harmless, deceives itself. If
tho principles of one of the parties are right,
nnd the other wiong, all offices, from the
highest to the lowest, should be filled by men,
not indeed of a bigoted partisan spirit, but
certainly by men who hold, in their purity,
the correct principles.
The besetting evil of the Republican par
ty, to which Is attributable its rccentdefeat,
is Its division.- :it has been perceived by
our opponents, to their Infinite pleasuret
and Is fanned and fed by their malice. Where
our opponents have been weak, they have
encouraged dissensions among us, with n
view to profit thereby. It Is not difficult to
see that our division has resulted In no good
to ourselves, but has infinitely advanced the
interests of our; common opponents. "If a
kingdom bedlvided;agnlnst Itself, that king
dora cannot stand," and evpry Republican
should feel the truth, that he that gathereth
not with tho party scaltereth abroad.
e uuuress ourselves only to such as are
Republicans as against the Democratic par
ty; and to all such we would respectfully
urge tho duty of prompt and united action
li the approaching campaign. Why should
we longer stultify ourselves by a course of
action which injures the party to which we
all still profess to belong, and advances the
Interest of an opposition party whose record
and principles we Justly despise;? Does any
one want an office ? Let him go into an hon
orable competition for It in the Republican
convention. Do you want honest men put
in nomination? Go into tho convention
and nominate them. Do you want capable
men? Go likewise and nominate whom you
will. There is room, and there will be a fair
competition for all. No party leader has un
dertaken to give, what ho never bad, an office
to his followers ; nor will any one be fore
stalled by the arbitrary dictation of any man
whatever, from the pursuit of any position
which he may desire.
Wo are pleased to note that there !san
awakening and a general 'coming homo" to
the party going forward In other localities,
and we are assured that all Republicans in
Nemaha county will heartily co-operate in
nominating and electing to the several offi
ces at the coming electlonfbonest and capa
ble men of Republican principles.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
The New York Nation In au able
editorial demonstrates beyond contro
versy that the cause of present "hard
times" in money matters Is occasion
ed by a with drawui, of capital from
trade, of an unwillingness on the part
of capitalists to make investments in
enterprises or trade while there are
constant threats of changes in finan
cial system, and while a prominent
class of labor in constantly making
war upon capital.
"Much of this unwillingness to In
vest," says the Nation, "is due to the
crusade which has been made in sev
eral of the Western States against
those public enemies, the bondhold
ers, rail-road builders, bankers, man
ufacturers, and capitalists generally.
Counties have Bet on officials to swin
dle her creditors. Legislation against
railroads has approached the point of
of confiscation. For the taxation of
I manufacturing and banking capital,
States have passed laws so oppressive
that even their own courts have inter
fered. The gWeslern Communist,
whose notion of government seems to
be that it is divinely appointed a the
means by which the many may rob
the few, is responsible already for
much commercial and industrial dis
order, and has not yet Been the end of
it.
But in its dealings with the nation
al finances and credit the same spirit
has doubtless done much greater mis
chief. All Investments and business
ventures depend in a large degree up
on the conduct of the government.
Assoonaa there wasa prospect of a new
nflation of the currency capital began to
seek safety, just as the passengers on
a Western steamer beg to go ashore
when the hands begin to roll tar-barrels
into the furnaces. Not even the
disaster of 1873 caused as much alarm,
or inflicted as great an injury upon
commerce and industry, as the subse
quent uncertainty respecting the fi
nancial course of the government.
Every hoarse cry for "more money,"
every demonstration against the bond
holders, drives millions of capital to
its hiding-places. Nor can we reason
ably expect to see marked improve
ment until political events have fixed
the policy of the government for some
years to come.
JEFF DAVIS
AND ILLINOIS

PAT-
BASEBALL VILLE.
Col. Van Horn, editor of the Jour
nal of Commerce, Kansas City, has re
ceived the appointment as Revenue
Collector or the sixth distrlot of Missouri.
Hon. B.
t
H. Barrows was recently
Installed as general manager of the
Omaha Republican, Maj. Balcorab
having resigned that position. The
readers, of the Republican will expeot
some Improvement of the paper under
.the new management.
The Red Cloud Chiefa&yB that W.
N. Richardson, Webster county
has cut forty ion ofhungarlan hay
from ten acres of ground this season.
The Chief also deems it worthy of
note that somebody counts 23 large
ears on three hills of corn, and etti
niatos 100 bushels to the acre.
An exohange, speaking in favor of
the resumption of specie payment,
says:
"Nobody would use gold In cbbo of
resumptionthat does uot use it now.
In ftot the use of gold would inevita
bly fall ofF."
Then why In the name of all that's
good and bad, this eternal cry and
howl about "specie payment?"
Quite an excitement was recently ore
ated on Long Island by a good-looking,
highly educated younglady elop
ing with a mulatto man. The man
was arrested and would have been
lynched by the incensed whites had
not tho officers secretly taken him to a
place of safety. His name is Brewster
and the girl's, Conklin. He is repre
sented as quite light colored and very
good looking, with hair nearly
straight.
The Omaha Republican has It that
a man hi Omaha found a soiled collar
in his bed room that measured four
teen inches, and he wears 16. The
conundrum which he propounded to
-his wife was, "who left that collar
hero?" As no explanation has keen
-made, matters are looking significant
nd becoming belligerent. Moral.. If
raot Immoral, Is not to leave your ool
Iara laying around loose. State Jour
nal. But "that man In Omaha" was
playing a -"dodge" game on his wife.
A man who wears only a fourteen
Inch collar needn't be watohed very
close. But the "feller" who wears
sixteen and over look out for him !
Beecher wears seventeen.
"They say'' Lincoln has run to base
ball entirely, and that the Idea Is seri
ously entertained of changitig the
name of the city to BaBeballville. Not
a man, woman, or child, of that place
can be talked with five minutes with
out "our base ball clubs" becoming
the superceding topic. The papers of
that place contain little else of late.
They have the "Mutuals," "Mocca
sins," "Fats," "Leans," "Typos,"
,Clerks,,, and "Lady" clubs. Base
ball drinks are concocted and drank
at the saloons; ministers preach from
the text base ball ; lovers talk base
ball; babies bawl base; the social
hour club waltz baseball; the arte
sian wall throws up base balls ; doc
tors administer base balls; pedestri
ans base ball the streets'; base balls
are used In the penitentiary ; even
tho lunatic assylum is filled with base
bawls.
When will the masses of thojpcople
cease to he hood-winked and deceived
by planning and interested dema
gogues on the question of fiuances,
and learn the truisms that all mod
ern financial operations are based up
on credit, not gold ; that contraction
or expansion ha9 nothing to do with
the rise or fall of gold ; that Wall
street gamblers fix the price of gold,
or rather the difference between gold
and greenbacks ; that to get money
honestly you must have something to
sell which the world wants must buy
it the same as you do bread and meat
and unless this is the case, though
government issue millions daily, you
will get none ; that only those who
live upon interest are clamorous for
"sDecie Davment" and "snecie basis. 'I
What is essential in our financial sys
tem is a uniform currency based upon
the credit of the nation. However
much buncombe may bo injected into
political newspaper artioles or speech
es, the finanoial question can never
be made a political issue. There is too
great a diversity of opinion among
prominent men of all parties, Eaah
will be governed by Individual inter
ests, when the question of dollars and
cents Is at stake. These are facts the
people should remember.
The WInuebego County, HI., Agri
cultral Association, acting upon the
somewhat prevalent Idea of such or
ganizations now-a-days, that some
feature must be introduced to "draw"
the people, It matters not what horse
race, greased pole or pig, public exe
cution, or fat woman, have invited
Jeff Davis to deliver their address this
fall, and he accepts It as follows :
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 5. To H.
P. Kimball. Secretary My Dear
Sir: Yours of the 1st iust. has been
received, and I have the honor to ac
cept the invitation to address the Pat
rons of the Industrial Association of
Winnebego county, at their meeting
in September next, and unless pre
vented by some unforaeen caime, will
be with you on the 14th prox.. the
commencement day of your exposi
tion. Your previous letter on thesub
ject would have been promptly re
plied to but for the necessity which
exiBted then and until several
days pastas to the probability of ar
arranging some bussiness matters so
as to permit my absence at the time
specified. I have long desired to re
visit your country and pee the won
derful development which has been
made siuce I left it, as then it was a
wilderness occupied by savages. The
courteous invitation is thereupon
doubly welcome. With cordial thanks
to yourself and associates, I am, res
pectfully and truly yours.
Jefferson Davis.
Whereupon the editor of the Prai
rie Farmer "takes off his hat" and
makes the following bow, calling It
"making treason odious:"
Now, we are among those who be
lieve that "the war is over," and that
its animosities should be allowed to
6lumber and be forgotten. We have
rejoiced at the fraternal sentiments
expressed by representative men, both
North and South, at the recent cen
tennial celebrations at the East. We
believe that the time is here when
the common soldiers of both the late
opposing armies, should grasp each
other by the hand, and resolve to live
in harmony and friendship under the
radiant old flag of the country. As to
tho political leaders, who caused the
rebellion, it is enough that they are
permitted to live at all, and quite
enough tliut they should be allowed
their freedom within the borders they
so strenuously sought to rend in twain.
Most of all is it enough that through
the influence of humane men like
Horace Greeley, Mr. Jefferson Davis,
the mouth-pice of the rebellious spir
it of the country, should live In full
enjoyment of his liberty. To toady
to him, to entertain him, to invite the
people to listen to him in the heart of
a country were almost every farmers'
family morun the death of a brave son,
father or brother, that fell in putting
down the treason that he incited, is
au insult that should meet with u
speedy and final rebuke. How do
those gray-haired parents, whose on
ly hope In their declining days, their
noble sons, sleep in unknown places
we will not say gravea in southern
fields, relish the idea of inviting Jeff
erson Davis to tell them how fine are
the arts of peace, how beautiful the
the blessings of honest industry ?
How do these poor maimed boys (for
merly) in blue, who mount the culti
vators and reapers as the only farm
work the' can do toward self-support
admire the spirit that has instigated
the managers of their own represen
tative society, to address them on tho
occasion of its harvest feast tho spirit
that lets the desire for sensation, the
desire to "draw," over-balance even
the spirit of patriotism and of natonai
pride! How do all the tax-burdened
people of Winnebago county like the
idea of taking to their bosoms the
great chiof cause of all their finan
cial troubles?
For Bhame, Secretary and Board of
Managers of the Winnebago Society!
Withdraw your invitation, and let
Mr. Davis go down to his grave a des
pised specimen of a traitor to his
country, an thus living out his natur
al life, live in history the greatest ex
ample of national leniency the world
has ever shown toward one guilty of
his great crimes.

On the 7Jfa inst at a village qalled
Half Rock, in Mo., Joseph Wiilis, a
young man and James Chippq, a man
of family, got into a fight, when Wil
lis stabbed Chipps to the heart, kill
ing him Instantly. Willis was arrest
ed. AtNIagra Falls, recently, a party
of adventurers visited the Cave of the
Winds without a guide, as they had
frequently done before. After pass
ing through the cave, two of the party,
Mr. Etheibort Parsons, aged 29, and
Miss Lottie C. Philpot. aged 25, de
scended to an eddy which is never
visited by guides. The lady lost her
foothold, and was caught by the gen
tleman, but the current carried both
into the river below, where they were
drowned. They were soon to be mar
ried. A roft of over 2,000.000 feet of pine
lumber was lost on Lake Erie in a re
cent storm.
A hotel girl, at St. Joe, named Rosa
Wysemer, drowned herself in the Mo.
river a few days ago. Her body had
floated down to Atchison when found.
The New Orleans Bulletin gives an
account of the murder of a peddler
named Marcus Jones, In Red River
Parish, by two brothers named Heniy
and George Nickelson. Tho murder
was committed solely for the valuable
goods carried by thepeddleron a pack
mule.
A most atrocious crime has recent
ly been brought to light in Petersham
Mass. Samuel J. Frost was attend
ing the farm of his brother-in-law,
Frank P. Towne, a single man, and
lived with Frost. The men had a
quarrel at the barn one morning a
few weeks ago, when Frost struck
Towne with a stone hammer crush
ing his skull and killing him instant
ly. Then Frost, to hide his terrible
crime, secreted the body until night,
when he cut it into pieces and buried
and secreted it in a very clumsy way
in different places. He tried to satis
fy his wife's inquiries about her bi oth
er by telling her that they had had
a quarrel and that Frank had left for
California. But the the truth was
not. long to remain concealed. A
neighbor found a part of the mutilat
ed body of tho murdered man, sus
picion of tho neighborhood was arous
ed, Frost was arrested and facts elic
ited, some of the most important from
his wife, which will lead to fastening
the horrible affair upon him.
The Vicksburg Herald gives an ac
count ef the hanging of Green Hen
ry, a negro, for home crime of which
he had been convicted. The first ef
fort to choke the darkey, the rope
gave way, and down he came not
much hurt. The second attempt was
apparently successful in sending the
miserable oreature to his long home ;
but Buch3was not the case, for Green
Henry, it is said, was resuscitated by
a physician and still lives.

The second heat was won by Lulu
In 2:16$, beating tho Maid by half a
length amid the wildest excitement.
The third heat was won by Lulu in
2:151, a length and a half ahead of the
Maid.
The fourth heat and race was won
by Lulu In 2:17, beating the Maid by
a Dead ; the American Girl third, Net

Some six moniba or bo hUo an old

some little time he returned to us
with the comforting Information that
he had made arrangments for us with

8enator Morton has mako by far the
ablest and best speech yet delivered
In the Ohio campaign. It bristles all
over with points whloh take a mo
ment to state and a week to answer.
There Is one good thing about Morton
he can always give a good reason
for the faith that ia in him. Peonle
Granger -Wife, I want to know
what you think about Tommy, Gran
ger, our adopted eon. I begin to feel
concerned about him, he does not act
well as usual.
Wife I noticed some time ago he
was not aB playful as common. He
may have eat a little too hearty you
remember, don't you, what a hearty,
healthy fellow he wbb one year ago,
and what suppers he used to eat? but
he Is oot well now, he is getting hlB
his eye;teeth, for one thing.
Grange) I think we flhould begin
to doctor .him immediately. Would
not a little quinine or a few blue pills
be the thing for him ? We could buy
Borne at wholesale, thro' the grange,
or else send for doctor Strong.
Wife HuBband, I am surprised to
think you would think of giving him
auch strong medicine, or sending for
doctor Strong, which is tho same
thing; I tell you he must not have
anything hut the mildest kiud of
medicine a little catnip tea, or sooth
ing syrup is all it will do to give him
now. I should think you wanted to
kill the child by offering to give him
auoh strong medicine.
Grander Wife. I am astonished to
hear you talk. Want to kill the child !
I should be the proudest man In the
world If he was our child, and I should
think you would ; he is an uncom
mon child, so manly In all his plays,
he plays on the big side in a kind of
wholesale way.
Wife I agree with you that he is
an uncommon child, but he is falling
fast, and I tell you it Is best to send
for doctor Howe. Doctor Howo doo
tored him when he was very youug,
and how successful he was. Doctor
Howe prepared a soothing syrup that
is exactly the thing for suoh children
as Tommy.
Granger -I know doctor Howe did
well for Tommy when he was young,
but he is now getting older; as you
said, he is getting his eye-teeth, and
I do not believe soothing syrupa are
going to oure him this time ; he must
have something more substantial or
stronger, but if you say have Dr Howo
we will have him ; I believe he will
do the best he can for Tommy. He
knows the consequence he knows
there is bread and butter lu it. If
doctor Howe can oure Tommy, and
give him the life, the vigor, the am
bition, and the appetite for suppers
that he had one year ago, he will put
a tall feather in his cap. He can then
not only be dispenser of grasshopper
rations but he can be Governor, or
President, or railroad king, or any
thing his extreme modesty will allow
him to ask for. Fair View,
Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
Omaha, Aug. 16, 1875.
The past week in .Omaha has been
rather an uneventful one. About the
only thing of interest that has trans
pired was the sale of the Republican
building ou Saturday, and indeed we
believe it was a lack of interest that
caused It to be sold. It is rumored
that the proprietors of the Bee have
bought the good-will, subscription
list, associate press dispatches, etc.,
of Balcomb, and will take possession
of the oame in a short time. If this
is true, and we have no doubt it is, it
will leave an excellent opening for a
first olass Republican morning paper
here, an establishment of which the
State haa long been in need.
A ''society for the Prevention of
cruelty to animals" was permanently
organized in this city on last Saturday
evening. It Is to be hoped that it will
be the means of accomplishing much
good.
One of the institutions of Omaha Is
the open-air Coucert, given -every
Saturday evening by the 23d Infantry
band, on capitol Hill. These con
certs are usuuliy attended by a large
concourse of musio loving people.
The music furnished is flrst-olass, and
as it costs nothing, everybody who
has the time to spare usually "takes
it in."
Since the reduction of our police
force it is a remarkable fact that there
has not been a robbery committed in
the city. The thieves probably reason
that as the citizens now have no po
lice to depend on, they will be pre
pared to deal out summary justice to
any one found in their houses without
invitation. We think they have It
"put up" right.
The weather here for the past few
weekshasbeen vory cool and pleasant;
so much so Indeed that It Ib feared, If
It continues muoh longer, a frost will
destroy Home of the corn before it
ripens ; but we think there is no rea
son for alarm as to-day ia warm enough
to suit the most fastidious.
Omaha was recently visited j by a
coupleofitinerautSpIritualists, but we
did uot attend any of their seances,
as it is said that they were frauds,
warts on the Spiritualist doctrine etc
This is not improbable, as it is
as impossible to have a dootrine or
creed of any kind without hangers
on, and persons who "follow the bus
iness" to make a living, as it is for a
small politician to tell the the truth
intentionally.
Judglug from appearances Omaha
is becoming a moral town. Three
months ago two concert saloons, danc
ing houses, or ilfree and easles" were
supported here, but now they are
among the things of the past. It
may be, however, that they are only
slumbering during the heated term,
and will again spring into existence
as the fceason advances.
Crop reports from all parts of the
State are very flattering, and tho pros
pects were never better for a large
yield of corn, and this, together with
the bountiful harvest of wheat, will
set our farmers all right again after
their disasters of last year, and then
they are likely to get a good round
price for ail their surplus grain, and
the wise-acres who have said that Ne
braska was a "failure," as an agricul
tural country, will have to "go back
on themselves" onse more, and re
mark, "Well, I told you so."

DER0IN DOINGS.
The last issue of The Advertiser
came to hand brim full of good read
ing matter, as usual, but there was
something uncommonly pleasant
about it, as there was but little said of
g. h. clerk. The R. R. news sounds
like "biz," and we congratulate the
people along the line south but the
voters along the river route have be
gun to think that voting the bunds
was ouly strategy in Dr. Converse to
wake up Falls City. We should have
been as shrewd na our Salem friends
and required a written agreement of
him to build the road if we voted
bonds, and that would have saved the
county the cost of two or three
elections and the river nreoincts of
one election. If the river route
should not get the road, Deroln will
be the least to suffer of all the towns
along the river on account of the ad
vantages naturally. Our hills are
covered with good timber and the
best wild grass we ever saw, and are
as good fruit landa as the State cau
produce, while the bottom and valley
lands produce abundant crops of all
kinds. Also the town can boast of a
good lumber and flowering mill, two
dry goods stores, two blacksmiths, a
wagon maker, also carpenters and a
professional briok-iayer two lady phy
sicians practicing in the precinct, a
neat briok Bohool house, no Baloon or
lawyer though. Thus, you see we
are not necessarily dependent on any
Internal improvements to make this
a 8elf-8uportingand oommeroial town.
We hear people talking of corn
being low this fall ; why, the corn in
this locality has run up so high that a
short man can't reach the ears with
out the aid of a ladder.
From the amount of buckwheat
that is sown this season, the coming
winter will revive the old Bong, "The
buckwheat cake was in her mouth,"
&o.
As there la considerable water
standing in ponds, a praotice In qui
nine is predicted this fall.
The two scientists that were spok
en of, as coming west to Investigate
and if possible ascertain the oause of
the grasshoppers, need go no farther
than London, Neb., as our theologian
there can rise and explain all about
the cause of "God's standing armies."
In her last Issue of "wrath" upon
Bro. D., she asks the question, "Does
Deity threaten without exeouling the
threats?" We answer In your own
way, Sister L. : "Who said he did ?"
In the latter part of the 25tb chapter,
Matthew, (God's only book, the Bible)
read what it says : "The Son of man
shall come In all his glory and all the
holy angels with him and he shall
set upon the throne of his glory and
before him shall be gathered all na
tions and he shall separate them one
from another as a shepherd divideth j
his sheep from goat?; he will set the
sheep on right hand goats on left. To
the righteous lie will say, come ye
blesBed of my father Inherit, fro., and
about the wicked he sayeth, and these
shall go away Into everlasting punish
ment, but the righteous into life eter
nal." This, Sister L. is the time
when he will execute his "threats up
on the murderer, the hypocrite or
taipe teacner, me appreeaor, the un
godly and the abominations in high
plaoes, and to talk about God keeping
a standing army of grasshoppers to
nibble at at peopled cornfields when
he is angry with wlokedness, i'b as
thin as pouring water on a goose's
back to drown it. Come Sister, "trot
out something better."
