"The grasshoppers are in tho air by

C. J. P. Creaop, of Randolph Coun
ty, West Virginia, a delegate- to tho
St. Lonis Convention, signalized his
Teturu homo by tearing an American
flag to piecea and throwing these un
der his horses' feet. He leads the
Tiiden hosts in his neighborhood.
Remember that tho charge that
Gen. IJuyen ia a salary grabber is a
Democratic Ho. lie was not In Con
gress at that time and has no record
on the subject.
W. A. Wheeler haa a record on the
subject and it would be impossible for
.any man to have a better one.
Governor Noyos, in his speech at
Rochester, had this to say of the
bloody shirt: "Well gentlemen, It
was no disgrace to Rutherford B.
3 loves to wear the bloody nhirt when
tho rebel bullets went crushing
through his blood and bone and a
broken arm hung by his side, as bo
led his brave boys on"
The long metered poet of the Dob
TVloInes Register offers the following
as an answer to an old conundrum,
with recommendation that It bo sung
as a doxology at Democratic meet
nigs :
"Whnt's the difference yon can boo
'Twlxt Tweedledum and Tweedledee ?"
About the samo jis 'twlxt the men,
Tammany Tweed and Sam Tllden.
General Banks announces without
reservation that he is for Hayes and
Wheeler. Ho tells a reporter of the
Boston Herald that he determine'd
months ago that ho could not act with
tho Democrats. He thinks the south
is really tho controlling element in
the Demooratio party; and If Tildon
should bo elected he would really be
controlled by that section.
This is how two scoundrels used to
carry on their "mutual admiration
society : In 1S69 and IS70, S. J. Til
deu as chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of New
York, appointed W. M. Tweed a
member of his executive committee;
ar.d Mr. Tweed returned tho compll
mantby appointing Tiiden a member
-of tho governing board of the Tam
aiany society and a member of tho
etty delegation to thop Democratic
.ytjita convention.
Tha Wa3Tne County (Neb.) Review
aaya: Grasshoppers have graciously
"let us alone," and timely showers
'havo brought tho crops forward until
.now,, our farmers are harvestiug the
largeskcrop that Iras been grown for
-peveralyears. Our people havo seen
'tbefolly-of spending their money be
fore itdsearned, and no-machinery of
any klndMjas been bougltt thisseason.
.This Is. one redeeming feature for our
people, which if persevered In will
bring our eountry up to the granger
.idea of "pay as you go."
t
Honest Democrats everywhere aro
deserting the Tllden flag. -Tho Hon.
Dewit C. Littlejohu of New York,
who was a delegate to the convention
that nominated Tiiden, has bolted
declared for Hayes and Wheeler
ean'fc eat crow. The New York Her
ald referring to this important Ueser
iion from the Tiiden ranks, says:
"Mr. Iiittlejohn is a oouepicuous
politician, and his .desertion of the
Tildon banner at this time cannot
fall to have ite influence upou tho cau
vass in this state."
The evidence of Mr. Tildeo's low,
cunning rasealiUesln connection with
Tweed and Tammany, as a railroad
-wrecker, as a ballot-box staffer, aB a
sli In plaster swindler, and bis disloyal
Attitude during tho rebellion, are too
palpable to cover up or ignore by hon
ost Democrats, and they will not vio
late their .consciences by supporting
iilni.
i
When you find a Tiiden man these
times boasting that ho was a Union
Eoldier, just look up his reoord find
out what kind of a soldier he was
pud ten chances to one you will find
j)o went Into tho Union army instead
of the rebel army because ihapay was
bettor because greenbacks were bet
ter than confederate scrip; that he
"shirked'' duty whenever he could,
and never was where the bullets of
his rebel friends could hurt him if he
could possibly get out of tho way or
keep out of the way of them ; and if
the order was ever given to tho officer
of the guard, "put nono but trust
worthy men on picket to-night," that
fellow was not put on picket duty that
night. Plenty of such scalawags
were in the Union army, and they
may be generally known now by the
crowd they muster with.
Which!
Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania, the
leader of the confederate majority in
the present Congress Is a sallarygrab
her, dyed in tho wool. He was In
Congress when that back-pay bill was
passed. lie grabbed the back pay as
energetically and complacently as
Democrats usually grab at the public
treasury at every availablo opportunity
His Democraiic constituents all re
formers ! of coursedld not appear to
think this record fit all disqualified
him as a representative reformer. It
seemed that he being Bound on the
Democratic goose, and having availed
himself of the opportunity of robbing
the government of bIx or seven thou
sand dollars, he had endeared him
self to his Democratic friends asa re
former! of course and for these
Democratic virtups they rewarded
him by returning him to Congress.
Thero was another in that Congress
another man also prominent before
the people to-day whose record, per
tinent to the subject of salary grab
bing and reform, we will call atten
tion to. This man was William A.
Wiii:i:li:k, of New York. He voted
against the back pay bill, in Its var
ious stages, six times, and when It was
finally passed he drew the money,
went and invested it in a U. S. bond,
went to tho treasury department and
had tho bond cancelled, giving it back
to the government, so that neither he
nor his heirs should ever havo thoad
vantago of the money taken from the
public treasury, lawfully but unjustly,
as Mr. Wheeler thought. Hero pre
sented are t"vo representative, leading
men of their respectativo parties.
Which is the truo reformer?
Jamea F. Joy, the western railroad
man, calls tho Democratic presiden
tial candidato a "railroad wrecker.''
Tho namo unquestionably fits him to
a nicety ; yet in his wrecking opera
tions it is probable that in one attempt
at least, at a monstrous steal, he will
be fortunate if he gets out without
being a convicted criminal. Mr. Tii
den was an attorney, or agent, iu the
foreclosure of a mortgage on tho St.
Louis, Alton and Terro Haute fail
road ; during tho pendency of
tho Buit Mr. Tiiden managed to get
hold of uncancelled bonds of tho com
pany which were left without an own
er, to tho amount of $2S4,000. He is
now involved in a suit brought by the
company against him, charging him
with having fraudulently como into
possession of those bonds. He re
cently filed his answer In theU. S.
District Court of Now York, denying
tho charges of the petition. The an
swer of this terrible reformer covers
four hundred and ninety-six legal fo
lios. Wo suggest that tho people had bet
ter wait till ho gets out of his mon
strous railroad suits for dishonorable
conduct as a lawyer, before they elect
him President. It would bo extreme
ly unpleasant to all parties to have
their President spend his term in Slug
Sing instead of at Washington. And
wo do not believe a man ought to be
promoted to the Presidency with sus
picions hanging over him that he on
ly escapes the States' prison by the
skin of his teeth, as it were!
Hocus-pocus.
A New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger calls attention
aB follows to the desperate game of
jugglery being played these times by
the political gamblers who are trying
to deceive the masses of tho people re
garding the "truo inwardness" of
Messrs. Tiiden and Hendricks:
It is betraying nobody's confidence
to &ay, further, that the Governor has
taken the grouud that, as Kelly's op
position to him before tho St. Louis
nomination was personal rather thau
political, thero is no room for com
promising with hini. Political differ
euccc, or differences with respect to
public policy, ho says, aro things to
be tolerated, but these aro different
from imputations upon his integrity
and reflections upon personal charac
ter. Congressman Cox has got himself
into some trouble by voting for the
repeal of the dato clauso in the re
sumption act. He is the oniy mem
ber of tho city delegation that took
that course. Mead, Ely, Ward and
Hewitt, you will observe, all voted
nay, while Fernando Wood was ab
sout. The friends of the last mention
ed, however, aro certain he would
havo voted with Mr. Cox.
Mr. Cox's difficulty is this: In or
der to pleaso Mr. Hendricks and the
West, and to give seeming effect to
tho finanoial plank of tho St. Louis
platform, tho clause in question had
to bo repealed, and somebody had to
do it. That much was admitted.
The New York city sentiment on tho
subject, however, is so strong the
J other way, it was judged best to let
Democrats representing otherseotlons
do tho work if they wanted to. There
was a distinct agreement to that ef
fect a fortnight ago.
Mr. Cox, however, having seen fit
to separate himself from his fellow
met obers, and to placo himself iu op
position to current of public opinion
here, will have hard work to obtain a
renomination. Tho theory is that he
did what be did to Ingratiate himself
with Gov. Tllden and Mr.Hendrioka,
but long-headed Democrats here de
clare that he has made a bad political
mistake, and one that will in no wise
profit him anything.
Thus it appears that all of the New
York City congressmen, t Mr Tilden's
friends except Sun Set Cox, voted
against the repeal of the '79 resump
tion act, notwithstanding its repeal is
demanded by the Democratio plat
form, and Mr. Cox committed an un
pardonable error among the hard
money TUdeuites for doing just what
the Tiiden platform demands. But
tho date clause had to Jbe repealed to
please the Hendricks end of the tick
et, and the Tiiden hards threw the re
sponsibility on to theHendricks softs.
Any man who permits himself to
be gulled by this Tilden-Hendrlcks
farco now before the scenes cannot be
desirouB of seeing honest men in of
fice. Gen. Benj. F. Butler has been nom
inated for Congress by the Republi
cans of hisdistriot, and will most cer
tainly be elected. We hope ho will.
He is needed there to bancjle those
confederates.
Grasshoppers.
A special telegram from Yankton,
D. T., of the 10th Inst., to the Omaha
Republican, says :
The grasshoppers have been here
fourteen days, evideutly awaiting a
north wind, and have committed
great ravages to the growing crops.
They lit yesterday as far east as Fort
Dodge, Iowa, and river men report
them west and north of Fort Randall.
They took flight this afternoon south
iu great numbers, though not as
tiiick as I have seen them. Between
here and Sioux City gardens are gen
erally destroyed. Corn is very great
ly injured, some fields being utterly
ruined. Local papers are suppressing
the truth by ignoring tho actual con
dition of things. It would seem that
Nebraska, unfortunately, must expe
rience another locust visitation, being
alrendy upon her northern and west
ern borders; but from hero I do not
expect such a fearful devastation as
two years ago, since they do not seem
to bo so numerous, and the season Is
much more advanced.
V
The hoppers have not sb yet visited
this county, nor any part of Southern
Nebraska, Wo heard of a few in the
Republican Valley, some two hundred
miles west of BrownvIIle, but their
stay was short, aud no damage to
speak of was done. We do not antic
ipate any trouble from tho pest this
fall. Our nearly oonstant winds from
the south and southwest during the
warm seasons of tho year will prevent
such a visitation from the grasshopper
regions of Minnesota and the north,
the only direction from which any
danger is apprehended this year.
"In a epeech made
Sth of September 1SGS,
by me on the
it waB said of
these taxes, 'They bear heavily upon
overy man's income, upon every in
dustry in the country, and year by
year they are destined to press still
more heavily unless we arrest the
system that gives aid to them.'
Shammy Tildcn's letter.
"In a speech," written by Shammy
In 1S70, two years later, he remarked,
"Wm. M.Tweed, Dr., to Samuel J.
Tllden for 'legal' services In 1868 and
1S69, $212,000." Why Shammy neg
lected to quote this, his great effort to
"lighten taxes" upon "every man's
income, and upon every industry and
upon every business' in tho city of
New York, we caunot imagine. State
Journal.
Shammy did the oharging and Mr.
Tweed did the paying out of tho peo
ple's money, and the firm of Tiiden &
Tweed was a success. Both are mil
lioniares. Reform is necessary to establish a
sound currency, restore the public
oredit, and maintain thenational hon
or. Democratic Platform.
How disgustingly cheeky It Is for a
party to so prate about reform wh'en It
does not embrace a single feature or
element of progressive reform. Four
years ago that party resolved to re
pudiate the publio debt, and now it
talks of "maintaining the national
honor." If Tiiden should be elected
he will owe his success to the confed
erates of the South, and they will
have a controlling influence in his ad
ministration, and the "national bon
er" would go to the devil on a down
grade.
Tho Omaha Republican received
the following telegram on tho even
ing of tho 14th.
Plattsmouth, Neb., Aug. 14 Miss
Vanco Barnes, a very beautiful girl of
about sixteen years of ago, daughter
of the Hon. J. W. Barnes, register of

Secretary Chandlerreoently received
a letter from a prominent Tennessee
Republican, from which he gives the
following extract to the publio:

Hayes was captured on a certain oc

THE INDIAX TYAR.
Washington, Aug. 11.
Tho President to-day sent a mess
age to Congress, urging that in view
of the possible contingency during
the vacation of Congress, that
provision be made for troops in the
Indian country, and suggesting that
if tho increasing of the present caval
ry by 2,500 be deomed inadvisable,
that he bo authorized to call out five
regiments of volunteers, each 1,000
strong, for a period not to exceed six
months.

The following is Gen. Sheridau's
letter to Gen. Sherman, transmitted by
tho President to Congress to-day, with
by the President to Congress to-day,
with his message asking for moreoav

Chicago, Aug. 5.
Gen. W. T. Sherman: Ihave not
yet been able to reinforce the guarrl
sons at Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, or
Standing Rock, Btrong enough to con
trol the Indians or to arrest and dis
arm those coming Iu. I beg you to
see tho military committee of the
House and urge on it the necessity of
increasing the cavalry regiments to
one hundred men to each company.
Gen. Crooks total strength Is 1,774 ;
Terry's 1.S73. To give this force to
them I havo stripped every post from
tne una oi Aianitoua to Texas ; we
have not exceeded the law in eulist
ing Indian s nuts in fact we have not
as many as tho Jaw allows us. The
whole number In this division Is on
ly 114. The Indians with Gen. Crook
are not enlisted or even paid, they are
not worth paying, and are only with
him to gratify their desire fora fight,
and their thirst for revenge on the
Sioux. P. H. Sheridan.

St. Paul, Aug. 11.
A special dispatch from Bismark,
transmits the following: Terry's

MileB, with bIx companies of tho
Fifth, reached camp the next day.
The sight of these two fine battallions
was most cheerful to our man, who
are jubilant. Our fellows are in a
temper which will render them dan

from tho hostile camp havo arrived
with the report that Terry's command
had encountered the hostiles, and the
latter had been flanked by Gen. Gib

acknowledge 100 wounded and Sitting
Bull being shot through both thighs.
They aro quiet on the subject of the
killed. An Indian can travel by di

agencies sooner by several days than
a courier could reach Bismark from

Washington, Aug. 15. General
Sherman states that he has received a
similar report from another direction
to that published yesterday, stating
that a terriblo battle had taken place
between Crook and the Sioux, and
that tho latter had almost been anni
hilated. It was brought to Red Cloud

His Great War Speech at Shelbyville,
Indiana, February 5, 1863.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
In tho winter of 1862-63, Mr. Hen
dricks was elected United States Sen
ator from Indiana. Tho event was
deemed of sutlloleut Importance by a
nest of antiquated butternuts who in
habited the southern portion of tho
state to merit a small celebration. The
gathering took place at Shelby ville on
the 5th of Feruary, 1863. Although
ostensibly an ovation to a single man,
It was in reality a bid of defiance to
the general government at one of the
most critical periods of the war. The
Lincoln-haters were present in great
numbers and whooped and yelled their
Jeff. Davis sentiments through the
streets with impatience until the hero
of the occasion appeared with his
speech. The preliminaries had been
so quietly arranged that Mr. Hen
dricks hoped that he might meet tho
exigencies of the hour without expos
ure ; but a Gazette reporter was pres
ent, and took a verbatim report. After
getting off the sterotyped charges of
peace-democrats, that tho north had
provoked the war, the orator began to
warm up his copperhead audience
with sentiments like these :
I say unto you, gentlemen, if the
President of the United States, In the
lauguageofthe Crittenden resolutions,
baa neia up the banner of this coun
try for the constitution and a restored
union, that ail the states shall remain
under that constitution, with every
right secured and unimpaired, there
would not have been a dissentient
voice iu all the north. But the Presi
dent cannot ohange the purpose of the
war, as originally declared, and make
it an abolition war, and then hold the
people of the north a unit.
We have some dissension In the
north; we have some men whoare not
true to their country. They are men
who say that the constitution of Wash
ington "is a covenant with hell and a
league with death." They are the
foes of the oountry and their coun
try's good. The disasters that are up
on us now are owing to the influence
of these men with the president of the
United States. If Congress would take
a bundle of switohesand switch them
all out of the white house, It would be
well foi the people ; but, until that is
done, it will not bo well. You may hear
prayers in our churches; your Bona
may go out to the battle field; but our
country is not to be restored as It was
until abolitionism is burled, never to
be resurrected. Cheers.
Gentlemen, what is the effect upon
you at home when you see the pur
pose of this war changed from a con
test for the Union and constitution to
a contest to free the negroes? What Is
tho effect upon your manly pride?
What 1b tho effeot upon the army in
the field ? I think I can comprehend
something of the honor, something of
the pride, the soldier feels as he stands
upon the field, and the missiles of
death are flying around him. In tho
midst of that trying scene, testing all
tho high qualities of a soldier, when
he looks up to that flag and thinks it
the emblem of the United States un
der the constitution, when he is fight
ing the battles of that flag, Tie feels that
he is fighting a glorious war, and he
can do his duty faithfully. But, when
the proclamation of Jan. 1, 1863, is is
sued he Is told that he shall make It
his business to fight to make negroes
free, where has the pride of thesoldier
gone? Can ho fight such a battle as
that? He cannot do it.
Mr. Hendricks next relieved his
mind on the negro enlistment bill.
The crowning act of Injustice is
completed. They have passed a bill
in the House of Representatives to
arm an army of negroes, une Hun
dred aud fifty thousand negroes! Let
me tell j'ou, gentlemen, that every
democrat in that house voted against
that bill, and every republican voted
for it, with three exceptions; and, if I
had it In my power, I would Bet the
name of these three men In gold. A
hundred and fifty thousand negroes!
What does it meau ? Does it mean
that 20,000,000 of white men of the
north are not courageous, bold, pow
erful enough to contend with the
men of the south and therefore, the
government must invoke tho aid of
the uegro? Doe3 It mean that? I un
derstand that tho pretense is raised
that tho negroes shall fight down
where It is not healthy for white men
to fight. Laughter. This pretenee,
gentlemen, is a sham. fVoice "Kill
all the niggers !" . . . .
Gentlemen, every man who voted
for that bill, and tho president when
heshall havesigned it, will haveof
fered a direct insult to every white
man and woman in the United States
applause, an Insult that every
proud man will resent. ... I want to
see if the president will sond Indiana
troops into battle, depending upon
support from the negro regiments. If
he does, when your sons go into bat
tle and the negroes give way, as
they will, leaving them to sustain the
honor of the field, then the blood of
every Indianian who is slaughtered
is upon that congress who passed that
bill and upon the president who sign
ed it. . . .
I wish to say that, as democrat and
conservative citizens, will stand by
peace and good order, wo will give
our influence In favor of the law. I
know that, in some of your neighbor
hoods, you are exasperated by seeing
young men who have taken Frenoh
leave from tho army takon back.
They should not have done so. Be
fore volunteering they should have
thought well of the matter. At that
time J did not advise anybody io en
list, because J was not going myself,
and J would not recommend any one
to do a thing I would not do myself.
While I did not recommend any one
to enllBt, I say to all to-day who have
enlisted they ought to stand by their
country and colors ; and If any young
men have left their companies to
come home without authority, they
have done an unfortunate thing, be
cause they have not acted in accord
ance with law. So that you canmt
fight the battle at issue in your neigh
borhoods. You must act in accord
ance with law. If anybody, however,
comes into your neighborhoods without
law, and proposes to take anybody
away by force, tJiat is a matter without
lata, and you had best attend to that
gentleman at once. Shouts of "We'll
attend to them, old fellow!"
Again, on the subject of a compro
mise and Mr. Lincoln's Emancipa
tion Proclamation, the now senator
said:
What the next two years will bring
about I do not know. There is one
course for us to pursue and that is to
do our duty. I have hopes that this
war will not last very much longer,
and that there will be some adjust
ment consistent with the honor of the
government and the union of the
states. I am ready to say to the peo
ple of the south; "Come In again and
we will secure to you constitutional
rights,, and, if you desire them, ad
ditional guarantees." If there is any
man who desires to continue fighting
andspendiugs the people's money and
lives, Idonotsympathizewlth him. I
should like to see these States brought
together in convention again, and set
tle upon a mode of adjustment. I do
not know whether we have a govern
ment that will doit or not. We have
elected a majority of the next House
of Representatives; and, unless, the
border-state men go unexpectedly,
and Mr. Lincoln cheats the people
with hbj Representative from milita
ry districts, we shall be able to accom
plish something. But that congress
will not meet until next December,
and until that time the government
will be under the control of the aboli
tionists. It may bo tbat events will
settle the question before that time.
If it goes on a littlo while longer as it
ha3 been since the president issued
bis proclamation, It is going against
us.
I do not know whether that procla
mation is going to be taken back or
not; I am going to voto to take it
back, the first opportunity I get.
Cheers. It was a wicked thing to
have issued. Mr. Lincoln said that
on a certain day he would issue such
a proclamation. Then came the
elections. Indiana first said "Take it
back ;" then Ohio, then Pennsylva
nia, then Illinois, and then New
York, In all nearly thirteen millions
of people of these states, said to Mr.
Lincoln, "Take it back." But he
has set himself above the people.
They said to him "You are destroy
ing our government, and making the
restoration of it impossible." And
yet he said the result of the elections
reminded him of an anecdote he
heard onoe out in Springfield, 111. It
muBt have been very amusing, that
expression of the condemnation of
13.000,000 of people ! . . . . The people
say to Mr Lincoln, "You must stand
by the constitution ; you have no
right to make an abolition purpose of
this war." Mr. Lincoln says to the
people. "You are not loyal. I am
loyal." He says, "You fellows, you
men In workshops and on farms, I'll
put you in dungeons if you do not be
still when I shake my bead." This
is the argument that comes back in
response to tbo expression at the
polls.
Hendricks
Crookedness. Lobbying
TYar Claims.
New York, August 8. A Herald
Washington special eays the charge
brought against Hendricks in a west
ern paper of being concerned as attor
ney or agent in lobbying war claims
through the department, aud when
unsuccessful therein in the senate,
while he was senator, attracts atten
tion here, as it is founded on his own
letter and on evidence in the depart
ment and on senate files. It Is be
lieved by some persona to be so seri
ous as perhaps to cause the withdraw
al of Hendricks from the Democratio
ticket, as Orth was was recently with
drawn from the Republican ticket and
curiously enough, for a similar reason.
There are Demoorats here who would
not regard It as a great misfortune If
Hendricks should be compelled to
withdraw.
Davenport, Ia. , August 9. Der
Demokrat of this city, the only daily
German paper of Iowa, and for four
years strongly opposed to the Repub
lican party, has an article this morn
ing utterly repudiating Tiiden, and
pronouncing him a trickster and dem
agogue. The paper will have a Btrong
Influence for Hayes and may oarry
back into the Republican fold all the
German liberals of this county, who
number not less than 1,500.
