The elections of Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska will take place next Tues day. i ' An exchange says : "What this country really needs Is a good five cent cigar. The court house at Winterset, la.. which cost $110,000 was completely destroyed by fire on the 2d. A fire recently occurred in Wash ington Mills, at Lawrence Kansas, by spontaneous combustion. Lo.s $50, 000. o r The Bank of California was reopen ed on a sure basis on the 2d inst., and San Francisco jb happy. The celebrated 'trotter, American Girl, fell dead at Elmira, New York, on the 2d in the first beat of a race she was contending for. On the evening of the 3d there was a heavy frost in Winnebago county, 111. A telegram says, "It is now es timated that at least one-half the corn in Wlnebago county has been destroy ed. Of 73,000 acres planted the yield will not amount to 35,000 acres." Near Scimook, N. H., a Miss Long made while going to school through a wood was murdered and dragged a distance from the road.

The house was built in 1S72. The building caught from a gas jet that was in too close proximity to a curtain. A play was in progress at the time and when the alarm was given the rush for the doors was frightful, but the people all got out, not a life being lost. The post office was iu thosame building but the val uables oY the office were saved. President Grant Is now in the West. While stopping at DesMoines, Iowa, be made one of his brief but most pertinent and patriotic speeches. Amongst other things he said : "Let us all labor to aid all needful guarantees for the security of free thought, free speech, u free press pure morals, uufaltered religious senti ments, and of equal rights and privi leges to all men irrespective of nation ality, color, or religion." There is a platform in a nut shell, and one that will endure forever, and it Is purely and peculiarly Republi can. Certain of the Ohio Democrats are resorting to rough aud outrageous " methods to carry their ends at the coming election. A dispatch says that as a spesial train, on Friday last, filled with the Hayes Republican clubs of Akron was passing by Cuy uga Falls on its way to Hudson, sev eral volleys of rocks and stones were fired into the open cars filled with men from an ambush at the side of the track. Several men and a little boy eleven 3ears old were seriously injur ed, receiving deepand ghastl3' wounds in the head and face. Many others were struck and more or less injured. One or two pistol shots were fired into the train, but fortunately missed their aim. A scene of the wildest excite ment ensued. The train wat stopped and a large body of men started in pursuit of the miscreants. They had taken to flight, however, ami the train came on to Akron, where the news had aroused tke deepest indig nation. Omaha Republican. We cannot reasonably expect any thing more decent from a party who receives their political incentives from newspapers and leaders that uphold tbe white league and the Ku Ivlux, and give smiles and winks and nods of approval for tbe slaying of Repub licans In cold blood. Tbe idea that prevails in the South that every "rad ical" killed white or black, is one vote leas against the Democracy is ap proved by the Ohio orators, silently if not openly, and therefore the ignorant vicious masses resort to the same style of carrying elections in the North. Tbe time is gone when Democracy gains victories by fair argument and the Investigation of party principles.- The Democratic Record. Since the war closed, says a cotem porary , the Democratic party has been ceaseles-feln its efforts to embarrass and defeat tbe Federal Goverment in its work of restoration, reconbtiuollon and re-establishment of the nation upon the principles of equal rights, common justice and honor. It has been identified with the South in its resistance to law, order and right since the Confederate States surren dered to the Federal power. When Congress attempted to throw protec tion around four millions of new born freemen and citizenp, the Democracy stood solidly en listed in the work of embarassment, itB bunds full of imped iments to be cast In the way of recon struction and the re-establishment of law and order where revolution and open disorder were struggling for the ascendency. Nowhere in our recol lection, can an instauce be cited where the Democratic party ha3 openly re buked the rebellion, the efforts of the Ku Klux and the White Leagues to keep it alive, or tbe indiscriminate massacre of black and white Repub licans in the -Southern States. The embers of rebellion have been fanned into new life by Democratic breath. Instead of rebuking, It has applaud ed the massacre of the negro for opin ion and color sake. It regards negro blood aB the seed of the Democratic church, and it encourages the demon like pursuit and murder of the black race as an important agency in re-establishing itself In power in the Fed eral Government. Down to this mo ment, all the disorders, outrages and murders that have been perpetrated by the late insurgents in the South have the unqualified open or tacit in dorsement of the Democracy of the country. r c q- Politics in Massachusetts. The Republicans State convention met at Worcester on the 29th. Hon. A. H. Rice, was nominated for Gov ernor and the third ballot. Horatio G. Knight was nominated for Lieu tenant Governor; Chas. Eudicot, Treasurer; Julius L. Clark, Auditor; Chas. R. Train, Attorney General; Gen. H. B. Price, Secretary of State. Hon. Henry Wilson was President of the convention. On taking the chair Mr. Wilson made a political re form speech. The following is his re ferauce to finance: "Iu the stress of war when creditors and armies were unpaid, the govern ment issued its promises to pay and made them legal tenders. When that enactment was made the government in good faith intended that these notes should be redeemed in gold or in interest bearing bonds, but ten years have passed and the promises to pay still remain unfulfilled. The greenback has indeed been largely ap preciated, aud we are justly proud of the credit of the nation iu the markets of the world, but we do not and can not as Americans take pride in the sin gular fact that a stray note from an unknown bank in one of the British provinces can be sold in State street for a premium of more than 12 per cent, over one of our legal tender notes with all the wealth of forty milliousof people behind It. The plighted faith of the nation, the hon or of the Government, the enduring interests of the people, of the. rich and of the poor, of capital and labor, all demand that the Government, by wise and prudent legislation and adminis tration, should, at the earliest practi cable period, make its notes equal to and convertable into gold. i.a w From Lafayette Geo. A. Clapp. Lafayette, Oct. 2, 1875. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. I wish, through your paper, to say a word lo the Republican voters of this county in favor of the Republi can candidate for County Commis sioner, Geo. A. Clapp, as heisastrau ger to most of the voters of this coun ty. Mr. Clapp came to this county from Illinois four or five years ago. He is a man well respected by his neigh bor, and is well qualified to fill the office for which. ho is nominated, and Is the superior of his opponent in ed ucation and general intelligence. I would say that Mr. Clapp is a genu ine Republican, which ought to com mend him to the Republican voters, everything else being equal. I would also state that Mr. Clapp served in the 125th Illinois volunteers; was mus tered out at the close of the war in Washington City, receiving an hou orable discbarge as 1st lieutenant. That he mado a good officer may be inferred from the fact that he rose from the ranks, made the famous march with Sherman to the sea, aud of eourfee was known as one of "Sher man's bummers." This fact will not commend him much to the opposi tion, but ought to gain him a good vote from Republicans, and especially from soldiers. I would therefore say to all who value good county officers, vote for Geo. A. Clapp. C. F. Heywood. A Present to Jeff. Davis. We now know why Jeff Davis left town so suddenly. During his sojourn at the Grand Central ho was present ed with a handsome hoopskirt, en closed in a small box, on which was written, "Mr. Jefferson Davis. Com pliments of lady friends." This is a fact, as we are trustworthily assured, and the gift was meant as a reminder of tbe little promenade he took, some years ago, in borrowed crinoline. The ladies, while they were, about it, ought to have presented him with a sleeping car, as a reminder of thatoth er little affair, down In Tennessee. Denver JYeics. And then he would have wanted those skirts filled. Old Jeff Is no fool. The Toledo Catholic Jicvicw Is au thority for the following: "That the Catholic vote should be cast solely for the Democracy at tbe coming election, is undoubtedly true. It is the only possible hope to break down the school system." So far as known 170 lives were lost by the terrible oyclone at Indianola, Texas. rrn ftiip urPTniiTntv T?r.rnTnpfin ,,.. h.,t lot vnur . ho flm J.V IJIIi Hiil Umuilil i,il,VJLV7A. OP SEaiAIIA. COUNTY. TAltor Nebraska Advertiser. Remember that next Tuesday will decide tbe question who shall be the officers of this county for the ensuing year. On the Republican Ticket you will find men "good and true,'' who have stuck to their colors through the times that "tried men's souls." in "good repute and in evil repute,'' neverilinching or giving back asingle inch from their dutj. Men consistent in all things, and in whom you can place implicit confidence. On tbe IndppendentTicket3'ou will find men who have been consistent n office seeking from their earliest advent in the county to the present time. Men who have been blatant, open-mouthed denouncers of Democracy in all its dif ferent aspects, but are now Eeeking to curry favor with their former oppo nents with the hope of getting their votes, this fall. Men who deserted the Republican ranks because they could not obtain the positions their ambi tion desired, and who will again de sert the party they now claim to be long to after election day. I have heard people say it is the man and not the party I am going to vote for this fall. Well, let us see if our ticket will not favorably compare with our ad versaries. For Clerk we offer you Mr. Majors, a gentleman well known and respected, who has been tried and found to be a most capable man nnd well deserving the tribute of respect you will pay him by a re-election. On their side they offer you Mr. Meader, a gentleman who is no doubt an esti mable private citizen but totally un tried, and will have to suffer like poor dog Tray "for being found in bad company ts For Treasurer we offer Mr. Gilmore, who needs no reference here from me as he is well known to be the most efficient Treasurer that ever perform ed the duties of that office in this county. They offer you Mr. Brush, a standing candidate for any office the people may choose to give him. The County Republican Conven tion did me the honor of giving me the nomination for Probate or County Judge, and without egotism I can safely say that I am fully competent to discharge the responsible duties de volving on that office, and fearlessly invite comparison with either of my opponents, having received a liberal education, and spent many y ears in the practice of law in the State of Iowa. They offer you Mr. Church a gentleman no doubt of liberal educa tion, aud who has also practiced law in this State, but obtained more noto riety for his political summersaults in this county than for either of his ac complishments. Mr. Church has alio been a "btanding candidate" for most every office, from that of Assessor of Brownville, which office he filled, to that of Governor, whioh be did not fill. As a man's public action while in office are public propert3 I maybe excused for doubting ;Mr. Church's ability as a good judge, from tho fact that the Legislature of this State im peached Gov. Butler for offences of which Mr. Church as a member of the "Investigating Committee" total lj' exhonerated him. My other opponent Is Mr. McComas the present incumbent, who has held this office for two terms. Mr. Mc Comas is a thorough -bred Democrat, and to be consistent with the Demo cratic howl about "third terms," &c, ought to "step down and out." He claims the office again I understand on the ground that he ha3 "done his duty;'' but he does not also tell you that he has been paid, aye, well paid for doing his duty. This 13 a novel kind of plea. I was not ,aware that the people elected men to neglect their duties. If you eleot me to the office of Probate or County Judge, and I can give you no better reasons for ask ing your votes a second time than this of "having done my duty," I do not think I will be a candidate for re-election. But this much I will promise you ; if you elect me I will do my duty thoroughly and promptly with out fear, favor, or partiality of auy kind whatsoever. For Sheriff we offer you John Strain, a gentleman highly respected, 'and one of the oldest settlers in this coun ty, and who if elected will discharge all the duties of his office in a manner creditable to himself aud to his sup porters. They offer you Dave Plasters. Dave has mado a good officer; but that is no reason why Mr. Strain is not his equal; besides Dave promised his friends, two years ago, that if they would elect him once more, he would not be a candidate again. For Coroner, we offer j-ou Mr. Ebright; for Surveyor, Mr. Hacker; for School Superintendent, Mr. Dun das; for Commissioner 3d District, Mr. Clapp ; all well known gentle men, above reproach. Whilst they offer you for Coroner, Mr. Leeper; for Surveyor, Mr. Gil bert; for Superintendent, Mr. Pierson; for Commissioner, Mr. Higgins. Now If any Republican cau reject either of the above named Republican candi dates aud substitute the name of his opponent it is more than I cau see any good reason for. as our candidates are infinitely superiorand untainted with political tergeversatiou. In conclusion let me again impress upon you the necessity of "concert of actiou." Should the Independent ticket, or even a portion of it, unfort unately be elected, it will be heralded throughout the State as a Democratic gain, the consequence of which would be our enemies would be elated and encouraged to attack us with renewed energy next Fall ; whilst our friends would in a corresponding degree be discouraged and despondent, and less able to resist their attack. With a clear Republican majoritj'of over two hundred in this county, our opponents disgusted and dissatisfied with the trickery of their acknowledged lead er, it will be a lasting disgrace on this county if the entire Republican tick et is not elected. Then Republicans of Nemaha County throw away the foolish idea, so fraught with michief to your best interest, of the "man not -. fr-cLJ, """ --J w.j principles and not the men" shall be ouruide. I have shown you that we have thenars of water, large baskets or other best men. and now let me ask you who are the most likely to advocate tbe true Republican principles of "progress and reform." Tbe men who have consistently acted with the parly that firt instituted these great prin ciples, or the men who, for tbe sake of office, have basety deserted us, nnd try to cover their shame aud disgrace with a portion of our platform? There can be butojeanswer to this question. Then vote the straight ticket and be sure you examine it carefully before voting; ouropponentsnrecrafty, wily and unscrupulous, ai.d will resort to all kinds of electioneering schemes to secure the election. And he sure that the name of "Henry M. Jones, for Probate or County Judge" is printed on your ticket. One more remark and I have done. I see that scurrilous sheet the Granger still harps upon tbe stor3' of the Pro bate Judship having been sold to Mr. McComas. Republicans of Nemaha county how do 3'ou like the idea of being boughfaud sold? Do you not, like me, hold the opinion that its only foundation in fact and In truth is in the base licentious imagination of its foul originator. Base inuendo is the subterfuge of cowardice, and the man or men who could willfully and ma liciously slander his or their fellow citizens as to insinuate that the3' could be boughtand sold like so many slaves is only worthy of the most unmiti gated contempt. Arouse then, fellow-citizens, and give the lie to the foul libel by rolling up one of the largest Republican ma jorities ever given iu this county. Respectfully, Henry M. Jones. FR03I IRELAND. The South of Ireland Qneenstown Cork. Correspondence NebraskavVdvprtlser. I am making a little tour in the south of Ireland. I see so much that Is novel and interesting to me I have fancied that even a hasty 'sketch of it might be interesting to some of 3011 r readers. I hope it will be understood that thN sketch was written late at night after a busy day's sight seeing. The first I saw of Ireland was the barren coast on the south, from tbe southwestern point around to Queens town. The view from the ocean is, at least to a sea sick passenger from America the first trip, ver3 interest ing Much of the coast is beautifully picturesque, then the old square tower on ever3 prominent headlan .. used by the coast guard in days gone by give it quaintness that awakens interest. We reached Queenstown at dusk and came into the harbor when the city was lighted. It was an exceed ingly beautiful sight. The harbor is oue of the finest in the world. It is capable of holding the whole British fleet and 13 perfectly protected from the gales of the open sea. The city is the chief port of tbe south of Ireland. It is situited on shore of an island, facing the harbor or rather up against the island. It extends quite along the southern shore of the.island, and reaches from the water up the steep tlope of the hill. Back of the hill tbe island is cultivated. The streets are ver3 nar row, Irregular aud often ver3 steep. One principal street follows the bends of the shore, and others lead off from It anywhere, at 11113' angle except a right one, and slope up the hill. These are crossed in the same way 03' others and so the cit3 is laid out without auy plan discoverable. But It Is very pret ty view from the harbor. There are palatial residences up on the hillside, with walls covered with vines aud an abundance of trees and flowers about them. The population is aboutl4. 000. It is wholly a commercial townnd Is of no consequence except a3 a sea port. From Queenstown I went to Cork. It is up the river Lea fifteen miles from Queenstown. You may go by rail, but 1 went by steamboat, much the pleasautest wa3. The scenes along tho broad, gently winding stream, is very beautiful. A strong stone wall extends all the way on each side. All along the slopes are beau tiful grounds and buildings, walls covered with vines, trees and towers t i- -' i ,,inre it.tn euse foliage just deepening into , 111 ,. i,.i, in colors, looked very rich. Thed autum Along the margin of the river and flying over it were flocks of white and grey gulls. Great long legged storks stood in the water or waded about. If you go to Cork don't fail to go from Queenstown in one of thoseopeudeck steamers. Cork is very Irish. Ican't-begin to tell 3ou how excruciatingly Irish it Is. It is quite an old, town and not a progressive one. It neems as if it had been finished a hundred years ago, and not an improvement had been made in it since. It is situated on both sides of the river Lee, the chief . business part on the level ground, but it extends up tbe slopoou both sides. The buildings are all stone and very small and compact. But few houses are more than four stories high and the architecture is ver3 plain. It is the third city in Ire laud and has a population of 90.000. It exports more butter than aii3 other city in the empire. In irregularit3 of the plan, or rather utter absence of plan, it rivals Queenstown. The idea of regularity does not appear at all in an3 town I have seen in Ireland. Man3 novel sights presenttd them selves to me in the streets. Ever thing is in such striking contrast with the same thing In an American cit3. For instance the most common vehi cle in Cork or any Irish town Is a cart drawn by a donkey scarcely larger than a new foundland dog. Then for carr3ing passengers there are the in side and outside cars, carriages with two wheels drawn by a single horse, the former opening behind with seats facing each other, the latter with no top but two seats with the backs to gether. Women appear much more conspicuously than in our cities. At i . I - . and other poor women are seen con- stantly walking the streets carrying burdens. The greater number by far of clerks and salesmen are women, and on tlie streets evpn at nigtu mere " - . &. j are as many women as men, ana you see them promenading aloneas boldly as men. The business houses are chiefly closed at dark, but tho streets are full of people till a late hour, t he3 do not seem to be doing any business, but are more livel3 and active than in da3light. I was surprised to see so many children on tho streets romping aud playiug as freely as on a village green in America. I was very much amused in passing a little group of them to hear them singing not "The Wearing of the Green," nor "St. Patrick's Day In the Morning," but "Shoo Fly." I intended to write chiefly aboutsome old castles I visited, but I have ex hausted my time writing what I fear is not of much interest. If possible I will write again in a few da3s giv ing Borne account of some ruins and of the Lakes of Killnrney. W. E Wilson. Lakes of Killarney, Ir., Sept. 15, 1875. SHERIDAN SHORT-STOPS. Not bo much sickness about here as there was sometime ago. Dr. Op permann and family are better al though the Dr. is not able to be out 3et. Quarterly meeting of the M. E. Church at Sheridan next Saturday and Sunday. Elder Lemon will be present. When the Tamtnnny Democrats stole so much that the people took the government of New York City out of their hands aud some of them went to Europe and some to States Prison, Tammany issued an address to the people giving a vivid picture of the corruption and dishonesty of the Re publican party, urging the people to repudiate the part and place the government in the hands of them selves as honest men. If any of our readers never read that address just go and hear Howe, be has learned it and can speak it good. Wesley Dundas say he has some Boots left 3et, although going fast. Ever' man who sees them sa3s the' are cheaper than anywhere else. LONDON LISPINGS. The frost has come too soon for all the corn to ripen, yet most of it is doing finel3'. Mr. Esau Smith has another ad ded to his family; the boy is a week old. Mr. Kesterson and famil3T have started on a visit to friends in Illinois. May they have a pleasant trip. H. P.

The religious education of the chil dren is of great importance. I send another "feeble petition" for the Advertiser. An excellent paper, aim never oelter euuea man now. Its merits plead its own cause. Yet "one sinner destroyeth much .mnil " nnrl nno'nn lnf U v nrtfclo was good, anri one.unmcKi articit wa causing much dupleasure, tnereiore the "petition." Don't nee, Brother Glen Rock, where the ''thinness" is. No one finds fault with tho Adverti ser but those who have been throw ing filth and it rebounds back upon themselves. All who cry "dirty pa- ner" of the Advertiser are dealers iu smut, nud are smutty. T was not aware I was telling anythint the people did not know when I said my "name is Jennette." T was merely giving some of my early history which was repenting itself in my pen skirmish with Bro. Deroin. But then Bro. D., I do not think we had better have any controversy about it. Some people are whining because some of the poor little children can not go to school this winter; thus making an argument against the Re publicans, because an appropriation was made, for nn Asylum for the Blind. They have no tear for the poor little children whose sightless 1 eyes will never look upon the beau- v ties of creation, nor see father or mo ther, brother or sister. God will bless those who remember tho3e life-long unfortunate ones ; if men curse them thus. The blind chilren have as much claim upon public money as childreu thjit can see, and they must have an institution of tbelrown ; they cannot be educated in other schools. Then must they be neglected for fear chil dren with all their faculties should miss a term of school. Mr. Joseph Loveless, bavin g once more tried the perils of tbe plains, is now again in London, looking well, hearty and. we hope, happy. He re ports the Black Hills rich in promise, to the brave and adventurous. Indi ans from nil parts of tbe nation are gathering there, to see what can be done about a treaty. If a treaty is ef fected with them, Mr. Loveless in tends to return to the Hills, just as soon ns he can with any degree of safety. Mr. L. has endured many hardships, and seems to have had a stormy life. May he gather enough of the glittering dust, to make his last days quiet and comfortable, until he takes the last journey to the land of rest, where there is fullness of joy, and pleasure forevermore. The Independents held a meeting here last Saturday evening week ago. An attempt to meet their low scurril ous, senseless talk, with argument would be like breaking a nest of em pty egg shells. The gist of Itll was Dear farmer, every thing on the earth belongs to you ; you ought to have it ?i but these corrupt Republicans dow In Brownville, where the d 1 has his headquarters, are grabbing it all from you. Elect us, dear farmer, (we don't won't office, oh, no!) but for your ovrv corner sits an "aDole-woman" sakes we will bear tne uurnen.

Joseph Dysart, aged 52, departed this life Oct. 1st, from his residence in London. Fiirual service at the Meth dist church. Words of comfort were spoken to the family of the deceased, by Rev. F. L. Brltt, and words of ad monition to all which it will be well to heed. The Masonic Brotherhood attended to his burial with the cere monies of their order, which were in teresting and impressive. Mr. D'sart was a peaceable c itizen, an obliging neighbor, a good husband and an affectionate father. As to his religion it can be truthfully said he lived and died with "a conscience, void of offence toward God and man." What more could he said of any one. He expressed a wish, a few hours be fore his death to be spared a fewj'enra more to his family, if it wore God's will, yet had no fear in ding. He said he bad not one hard feeling to ward any person, aud had alwa3s dealt honestly with bis fellow-beings, this was a comfort to him in bis last hours. His funeral was quite largely attended by deeply sympathising friends for his bereaved family. May God and his pitying angels, guide, guard and care for them ; may they all do life's work well, and meet at last In that beautiful world, where there Is no parting, no death. A Greenback Club.
