Here is a little batch of interesting hills. How do you fancy raising cat tle and com, farmers of the West, to pay such claims as these: By Mr. Young, of Tennessee: A bill to pay Dudley Fraser $25,400 for the rent of his shed and storehouse, occu pied by the United Slates army. By Mr. Bright, of Tennessee: A bill to pay Thomas Hoard $5S,000 for sup plies taken by the United States army Jrom his plantation near the baftle flround of Stone River, Tenn. By Mr. House, of Tennessee: A bill to pay Duvldson County, Tcnn., $36, 416 for occupancy of Court House of said county by United gates troojis. By Mr. Young, of Tennessee: A bill to pay John T. Slralton $5,20 for rent of shed occupied Jby United States troops. B. J. Henderson, of Tennessee, had a "timber 2iatch" near one of (he Union camps in that State. The soldiers cut his trees down for fuel, and he estim cites that tlicy took 2,900 cords of his wood. He sends in fiis bill, and charges si dollars a cord for green wood, the sol' dicrs Jiaving done their own cutting. Here is his bill: The Untied Stale lo It. J. Henderson, Dr. May 1, 18C0, to 2.900 cords of wood.........817,400 A Democratic procession in burg the other day carried a flag. Pitts rebel The man arrested near Kansas City last week supposed to bo Frank Jam es, could not bo identified as James aud was released. The negroes in South Carolina have become greatly exasperated recently, and reports say, have been doingsome reckless kind of shooting. It seems that the U. S. troops are called on to protect whiteB ns well as blacks. On the 25th, ult., General Mitchel wrote from Fort Piok, Montana, saying that Gen. Sitting Bull asks permission for his warriors to go into that agency to trade for ammunition. Gen, S. B. is certainly a very cheeky old red skin. There appears to be little doubt with the friends of Gen. S. A. Hurlbut, that he will be re-elected to Congress from the fourth Illinois district, not withstanding there is another Repub lican candidate in the field and also a Democratic candidate. Gen. H. is at work making most telling speeches, and the people receive and hear him with great enthusiasm. Tho charge repeatedly made by Re publican speakers and the Republican press, that if Mr. Tilden be elected the South will claim compensation for losses incurred by emancipation, and by tho destruction of their prop erty from military necessity, has been as repeatedly and emphatically denied by Democrats. As a most significant indication of the rebel intent, we quote from the bill of rights of Mary land recently adopted : "Art. 24. Sla very shall not be reestablished in this State ; but having been abolished un der the policy and authority of the United States, compensation in con sideration thereof is due from the United States to the late slave hold er of this State." Congressman Hewett, of New York, the great champion of the Tiiden fac tion in the present confederate house, is a son-in-law of the venerable-Peter Cooper, the greenbaok candidate for President. After the October elec tions Mr. Cooper proposed to with draw from the canvass. His son-ln-Jjjw Hewett advised bim not to; for, said Hewett, you will draw more votea from Hayes in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, than you will from. Til den, and in no way can you so well and so effectually aid the Democratic cause a9 by running on the greenback ticket. Let it be known, then, that the Peter Cooper ticket is but a eide show to split the Republican vote In aid of the rebel outfit. The Republican gains- In the elec tions thus far iu the north are as fol lows : In Maine- compared with the election In Vermont, compared with the elec tion OT io7J... ....... ..m..... .. 5,Uv In Colorado, compared with the elec tion of 1S7I... ............... ....... -1,1C3 In Ohio, compared with the election In Indiana, compared with the elec tion of IbTI I1.S2S Total Republican gain In the Ave There is nothing about this show ing at all discouraging to Republicans. Should the other northern states gain in proportion, and we have no reason to think they will not, New York, New Jersey, California and Connecti cut will cast their votes for Hayes and Wheeler.

"The Republican party has a mag nificent record. Its wisdom, loyalty, courage, fidelity to public trusts and noble devotion to the rights of man challenge Sha- world's admiration. The Democratic party has a record over whicii every American1 citizen should blush. Its treachery, dishon esty, disloyalty ; its base use of pow er; its devotion to slavery when that institution controlled the nation, and its slavish submission to thoee leaders who have outlived the wrong they could not save, stamp it ae-o party un worthy of confidence, entitled only to infamy and scorn". To exchange the party of freedom for this sin-begotten shadow of slav ery would be a crime against human ity and a disgrace to civilization. Of Tildeu's war record the most damaging statement yet made Is the following from John Bigelow.hla late apologist J "When Jthe war broke out he did not associate himself publicly with the party which ho thought had un wisely preclpatod it, because be could not entirely approve of the methods by which they were conducting it." The old fellow thinks had he becn President of the Southern Confeder acy, he would have played a better hand than his old friend Jeff Davis did. He did not assooiate himself publicly with the rebels, onty private ly, and did more to prolong the war in that way than had he gone to the front and worn confederate-shoulder-straps. Governor Dix, In speaking of Gov ernor Tilden at the Cooper Institute, on Tuesday evening, Oct. 3, said : "Fellow-citizens, it would be an un happy day for him, as well as the country, if he were elevated to the Presidency ; for if he were disposed to do right, be has none of the quali ties which fit a man in great emer gencies to meet them with promptness and determination. You are, no doubt, aware that he is at this moment prosecuted by two railroad corporations for money which they accuse him of fraudulently withhold ing from them one suit for $240,000, and tbe other for $80,000. Thesesuits were brought long before he was nominated for the Presidency, with no sinister object, but with a confi dent belief on the part of the direc tors of those corporations that he had fraudulently appropriated to his own use enormous sums to which he has no title. It is the first time in our history that the integrity of a candi date for the Presidency has been thus impugned, and I trust the result of the election will be so decisive that it will be the last." Wouldn't It be well, and most rea sonable, to require Mr. Tilden to come out with clean hands from those charges of stupendous fraud, before entrusting-him with the highest posi tion within the gift of a nation? The Republicans- of the third Con gressional district of Kentucky have nominated John McClure, ex-Judge of the Supreme Court, for Congress. John Morrissey has severed his con nection with Tammany. Hesays the sucoess of Tilden is of more importance- than, any office seeker's sooiety. The Temperance people oi Merrick oounty, Nebraska has nominated a candidate for the. legislature and a candidate for Ctk commissioner. DEAlV-rOKER. How's this for Howe Hon. G. W. Falrbrother: Dear Sin: In answer to enquiry in regard to Church Howe, I would say that your information 13 correct. I saw Alf. Canfleld and he says he would like to have Church Howe ex posed, and will back all he says. He says Howe will not dare deny it. Of coarse you will not use my name as I only give you the facts from friend ship for the party and at yourrequest. The facts are tiiese: On SUNDAY March 19th, 1876, Church Howe was detained In Te cumseh on account of a snow storm. Ho, in connection with George Tier uey, Steve Kearns, Tom Vauuatta, and a portion of the time, Alf. Can field, played poker for money, or something that represented money, from early Sunday morning until about two o'clock at night, Sunday night. These are the facts as everybody in Tecumseh knows, and Church Howe will no dare deny it. You may publish what I have said without any fear of fcuccessful contra diction. Howe is a scamp, and "the people up this way know it. Can field told me that he would see you througli and testify to the facts as above stated. You can refer to the names in the article as the parties in the game without any fear on your part. I am always willing to do what I can to beat such cattle as Howe. Yours truly, Tho author of the above stands high in Tecumseh and the State as a citizen, and a gentleman. But it matters not about the name, or who wrote It, as dates and names are given, sufficient for every body who desires, to satisfy themselv es as to the material points alleged in the letter. We have heard tlifa report of Howe's Sunday poker-playing before, from direct sources. Mr. Howe may forge a denial of some kind and un doubtedly will, and succeed as he us ually does in deceiving the people un til his point Is gained, but we ask our readers to mark well our words. Mr. Howe is a gambler, as well as a bribe taker, and his closest friends will be compelled to know the man as he is ere long, and, If honest, will drop- him as eagerly as they eversupporteiS him. We are well aware that with many, to convince them that he plays poker for money would amouut to nothing against him, for they like that kind of a man, but there is a class of citi zens, who, in consideration of Mr. Howe's pretensions in society, as a granger,-a 'Good Templar, &c, will not think so well of him, if they be come satisfied that when away from home he gets down to playing draw poker on Sunday. Some of tho soreheads of the late Republican State Convention, are without the help of reasonr, logic or facts, blowing themselves crazy about the results, and charge corruption and bribery upon the friends of Mr. Welch, our honorable aud honest candidate for Congress. All their whining and howling are occasioned purely by soreness and disappointment, and the charges of dishoneeSy and bribery are lies, as we verily believe. The Kene saw Times refers to this matter very sensibly and truthfully, as follows: That members of the convention were not bribed, we of course do not and' cannot absolutely know. But we take it that Senator Hitchcock aud his friends are not fools enough to re sort to bribery to secure a result plain ly within their reach without it. Nor was tho convention of a mood for that kind of business. Attempts at bribery would only have injured those that made them. We believe, therefore, that the intimations of bribery are on ly the out-croppings of the disappoint ment and ohagriu of those who did not clearly see how the result was otherwise accomplished. The nominations are the result of a hard and square fight, and, as such are in our judgment entitled to con sideration and support especially as, by the confession of all. the candid ates, including Mr. Welch, are person ally honorable and worthy men. Foreign A'eirs. London, Ootober 21. A dispatch from Constantinople states that the ambassadors of tbo great powers met yesterday at tho residence of the Rus sion ambassador. It is believed that they agreed-upon n. common action for procuring an understanding with the Pcrte;regardiug bd armistice and conditions of peace. A dispatch from Berlin says: The report is curreut here that the great powers Jiavo again collectively urged the Ported unconditional acceptance of the English propositions. The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a long statement whlcu It says iB by a person fully entitled to speak on be half of the whole body of American missionaries in Turkey. The writer says tho Protestant missionaries do not hesitate to say that the Turkish government aflbrds better assurance for religious liberty than some forms" of Christian rule which might replace it. The missionaries have such a dread of Russian ascendancy that they have requested the writer con fidentially to lay before Germany certain proofs of Russian Intolerance, and to solicit Germany to secure from Russia the guarantee of religious liberty before consenting to the dis memberment of Turkey or Russian occupation. The missionaries appeal ed to Germany because America's policy of non-interfering affairs pre cludes her taking up the question by diplomacy. Vienna, Ootober 21. The minis terial center party, of Reichstach to day laid on the table an interpellahou signed by 112 members, declaring that an understanding between Austria and Russia on the eastern question is indispensable.

Con gressman Whitehouse declines to be a Democratic candidate for re-election in the Thirteenth (New York) Dis trict, on account of his bitter hostility to Tilden's war record. Mr. White house was a very earnest war Demo crat, and is represented as having se verely denounced Mr. Tilden for his disunion sentiments. '" During the last ten days the foreign dispatches have indicated that all the great powers of the old world were about to engage in a war, but our lat est news does not look so sanguiuary, and hopes are entertained that ami cable agreement has been arrived at on the armistice question of the Tur kish insurrection, which will obviate the necessity of war, for the present, at least. The Stanton Bugle, heretofore Dem ocratic, takes down the names of Til den and Hendricks from bead of Its editorial columns, and hoists the nameB of Hayes and Wheeler. A man by the name of Daniels was sentenced by the district court of Lin coln last week, to six years In the penitentiary for attempting to poison hiB wife. The only way to reconcile rebels Is to give them possession of the coun try, or the ballot-boxes, which is the same thing. I Why do Young Men Leave the Farm ? Editor Nebraska Advertiser. Much has been said and written, and the fact deplored, that there Is such a tendency or temptation for j oung men to leave the farm for other pursuits or business. Many a farmer desires to see his son, or sons, educat ed, that they may become more suc cessful farmers; that the business of farming may have all the advantages of a well-trained mind ; aud that they may more successfully compete with other trades and professions. But what are his prospects? He can see, if he can see anything, that according to the present management of popular education, if he educates his sons it wholly unfits them for farmers. They must be doctors, law yers, preachers, or politicians. In the course of their education they have got suh an exalted opinion of a higher life such a taste for the luxu ries and fine.ry that are so common at the publicschoola that they can nev er again be content to become farmers. We think there should be a new pro fessorship added to our schools. Let us have a Professor of Economy. We think such a professor would havo ample scope for his abilities. Lot our young men and women be taught tho value of time and money; tlte im portance of saving while they are young, that they may have the means to lay the foundation for a prosperous and happy life. Let it be made a shame, a disgrace, for them to spend their time in idleness, their money iu luxuries beyond theirability. Let him point out to them the temptation, the sins, the misery, that such a course of life has led many a youngs man to. The love of finery, the temptation to live beyond their means, has wrecked more characters, aud ruined more young men, ttian the dram-shop or the gaming table. If our profes sor's students are ever to become farmers, it is highly important that be lay down his rules so strict that it will lop off any amount of feathers and superlatives. Many a young nsan'starts out with high hopes and a good out-fit, a farm given to him by Uncle Sam, and they Boon rise to importance. He receives visits ftom our highest county official, the sheriff. He has not had, or not taken, the advice of this professor of economy, to live within his means. Where is the younglady who has received a finished or an accomplished education of the present day. that would be a' suitable companion for a young farmer? We think she is not to be found. It would be impossible for fir to come down to the strict economj' aud practice of industry that would be required of them in order to become successful. The cut, the cue, the style she has learned', Is altogeth er too high for a young farmer. She has not taken tho advice of this pro fessor. Therefore, we say the farmsTwho educates his sons or daughters beyond our common schools, does it with no hope that thoy aro to take his place on the farm. The love of finery and extravagance has a strong hold of all parts of our education. It has reached our Sunday schools. Our Sunday school picnics have become splendid entertainments for thoyouug. There appears to bo a strife "detween the schools to see which can make' the best display, get up the richest din ners, ic. Are we training our young to be prudent, careful, industrious, j'onnaf men aud women ; or are we training them to become spendthrifts and bankrupts. Could the financial situation of this county and state be known, it would plainly show where we are drifting to. If we had a few more professors of economy, it would soon heal the strong desire for india- rubber, or soft-money. There would not be quite so much necessity for stretching one dollar to make two of it. Economy and- reform should' be the order of the day ; and it is the only thing that will lift or dispel the dark cloud that has settled down upon the farmers of the west, aud let the bright sun of prosperity once more shine. Hard or soft-money will' not do it. Therefore we-say to all; whetherj'ou vote for Tilden or for Hayes, vote for economy and reform. Fair View. Lafayette Precinct, October 20, 1S76. J Editor Nebraska Adveitlser. Whilo.the political poif Is boiling, I take it, you will not object to hearing from this part of the county. Like all others throughout the country this Presidential and Centennial year, we are feeling interested in the pending contest. There Aver soma- TildefT and Hen drioks men in this Precinct. A few Peter Cooper men. The great mass of voters, however, are Republican. The Independent element in this county nas found footing here to considerable extent. The Independent feature will not be as strong with us" this fall as heretofore. Many who have been led by Church Howe in political mat ters, are getting their eyes open. I confess, myself, that I have had a verj favorable opinion of Howe, and voted for him at the last election for Member of the Legislature; but his course, while a member of the Legis lature, showed him, to my mind, to be a man of no principle a low-down, groveling, unprincipled trickster. He told us here, before the election two years ago, that he was a Republican. When in the Legislature, we find him voting right along, all the time, for a Democrat for the United States Sen ate. We havo reliable information that he has been to Omaha since his nomination for the Senate, and pledged himself to Mr. Allen, the chairman of tho Democratic State Central Committee, that if he is elected he will again vote for a Demo crat for U. S. Senator. And further, that if the Independent ticket in this county Ib all elected, he will pledge the whole ticket to vote as he does In that matter. W.e have Jhis informa tion from 6uch source that we believe It to be true, especially when we know how he did vote when there. 1 After all I havo seen and known of this man Howe for the past two years, at home and abroad, I calinot vote again for him. Aud feeling as I do, I can but believe him to be an adven turer; a mischief-maker; a man of no political principles; a busy-body ; duping the people, and caring only for himself. Uudersuch: circumstan ces it Is a duty of the people of all parties to signify their abhorrence for such a man, and vote, at the coming election, to leave him at homo, now an: forever. So believing, I for one, shall so act. Ax Independent. By the President of thcUnited States of America A Proclamation. Whereas, it has been satisfactori ly shown to me that insurrection aud domestic violence exists in several counties of the State of South Caroli na, and that certain combinations of men against law exists in many coun ties of said State, known as "rille clubs," who ride up aud down by day aud night iu arms, murdering some peaceable citizens, and intimidating others, which combinations, though forbidden by tho laws of the State, cannot be controlled or suppressed by tho ordinary course of justice; and Whereas, It Is provided in the Constitution of the United States, that the United States shall protect every State in thiB Union on the ap plication or the Legislature, or of the Executive when the Legislature can not be convened, against domestic vi olence; and Whereas, In pursuance of the above, it is provided in "Laws of the United States," that in all cases.of in surrection in any State, "orof obstruc tion to the laws thereof," it shall be lawful for tho President of the United States, on the application of the Leg islature of such State, or of the Exec utive when the Legislature cannot be convened, to call for the militia of any other State or States, or to employ such part of the land and naval force as phail be judued necessary for the purpose of suppressing such insurrec tion or causing the laws to be duly ex ecuted ; and Whereas, the Legislature of said Slate is not now in session and cannot be convened iu time to meet tho pres ent emergency and the Executive of said State, under sections, 4 ot article 4, of the Constitution, and the laws passed in pursuance thereof, has, therefore, made due application- to me in the premises for such part of the miliary force of the Uuited States-as may be uecessury and udeauate to pro tect) such State uud citizens thereof against domestic violence, aud en force the due execution of ths laws; and Whereas, it is required'that when ever it may be necessary, in the judg ment of the President, to use military foreeforthe purpose aforesaid, he shall forthwith by proclamation command such insurgents to disperse and return peaceably to- their respective homes within a limited time.

The Cuptain Butler mentioned is known us "One-armed Butler," aud is the brother of the General Butler of i the Hamburg massacre. Coker was a member of theSouth Carolina Legisla ture. On Sept. 19, u rifle club, com manded by Capt. A. P. Butler, went to Ellen ton aud tooko wood train with which they proceeded to a station call ed Bobbins. Here they found Coker quietly seated on his valise, waiting for a train. Some of them excluimed : "There's that Radical uigger, Coker." Capt. Butler went to him and said, "Coker, Im the niggerruler, nnd you have got to go with me." Then the unfortunate man was surrouuded by Butler's command and dragged in to one of the cars of the wood train, which then returned toEilenton. Ar riving there, Coker was takeu into an open field, aud Capt. Butler said to him, "Coker, what's your busines?" "I am a representative from Barnweil county to the South Carolina legisla ture." was the reply." "All the bet ter." said Butler, "Representative or no RepresentatJre, you are a Radical nigger, and have got to die." "For God's sake, give me time to pray," cried the unhappy negro. "Certain ly," answered Captain Butler; "pray away, hut pray quick." Coker then knelt down and began to pray. While he was in this position Butler stepped back six or eight feet and shot at him twice. He fell forward on his face, bleeding and dying. Butler then made a sign to his men, and six of them fired into the wounded mnrr. He died. The men who killed him took his watch, money ond his gold shirt buttons, and then leavinj? the body to rot, returned to Robbins. These facts are sworn to by three eye witnesses, who state that Coker'sonl'y crime was hfs Rppublioanism. Merrick, we are sorry to Bay gave Frank Welch one vote toward a-nomination purchased for him- by Jay Gould. But all servants must serve their masters, aud Frank- Welch is welcome to that one vote given him by the Union Pacific Railroad com pany. Central City Courier. Steel, of the Central City Courier, says that he never sold out tor "thirty pieces of silver.'' Perhaps not, bu6 you stand self-convicted before tho people, of havingattempted to sellout to an agent of the U. P. for five hun dred one dollar greenbacks, which sum you lost the "gulden opportunity of pocketing," for the reason that said aueut thought your estimate ubout four hundred and ninety dollars too high, considering the calibre of the article to be purchased. Platte Val ley Independent. Nbw the Courier man is supporting Mobfey, of the Indeiendeni, a bolter, for State Senator. Such-are the kind of cattle thut are bolting the no m in a tiou-of Frank Welch. The Hon. Frank Welch-can, per haps, well afford to sail under his newly acquired title, of "Gould's Sycophant," but it were far better for him politically, that he had been beaten by John C. Cowin, by nn hun dred majority.- Temporary success is one thing: permanent respectability ar.other- To gain one Welch has sac rificed the other. Central City Cour ier. The abovo can only bo tho ravings of youth not born to move the world or to influence men. No doubt a lit tie experience may show Steele the fact that all republicans who happen to differ with him are ns'ther fools nor knaves. Were ho half the man that Hon. Frank Welch is, with the Integrity and honor that he possesses, he (Steele)would not speak as he does We are rather inclined to the opiniqn that he judges others by himself, and would not object to wearing the "Gould" collar, if accompanied by the filthy lucre and influence. West Point Republican. Some weeks since )emas Borr.es, editor of the Brooklyn Argus, n Dem ocratic paper, wrote a letter to the Ohio Stale Journal denouncing Tilden as a .Democratic candidate. Democrats pronounced the letter a fraud, and Lewis G. Mead-, of Ovid, IWichifran, wrote Mr. Barnes asking him if he wrote the letter in question, and if ha knew positively that the charpes against Tilden were true. Mr. Barnes replies that he wrote the letter, and that the charges are true. He regards Mr. Tilden's antecedents as wor?e than those of Aaron Burr, or those of any man whoever befor sought such high office in thissountry. He pro nounces Governor Tilden corrupt, am bitious, unscrupulous, and despotic. One of the junior clerks fn Govern or Tilden's office said to a colleague the other day: "How can I hide the worn places in my cont sleeves?' "Ink 'em," replied the other, prompt ly. "Ink 'em, ink 'em." And tho reformer who was passing stopped and cuffed the boj''s ears and ordered him to go to the cashier's desk and get his time. "Impudent rascal.' muttered the pure old man, "talkin' about income right under my nose. Won't have It, won't have it." The old "Western Reserve" in Ohio was outat therecentelection and roll ed up a Republican majority of over 21.000. The camp fires of this New England colony of staunch and intel ligent farmers and business men aro still brightly burning. State Jouanal. lama Republican, out and out a Republican.- How much we may have differed in minor matters, I nev er was ani'tbing else. Now, more than everr do I believe that the men of the Republican party should be men of principle, true, permanent. and abiding principle. Gen. BanTx. Prof. A. D. Williams, editor of the Kennesaw Times, had about four hnrr dred bushels of wheat destroyed last week bj a prairie fire. That's hard on a poor editor. NOTICE.
