The Security Life Insurance com pany of New York Is pronounced a rotten Institution. The Republicans of Chicago on the 12th inst., fired 385 guns over the election of Hayes and wheeler. One gun for every electoral vote. Church Howe the irrepressible from Nemaha county, tried to clog the wheels of legislation, but was In continently suppressed Pawnee Re publican. A few days ago the England tbat Tilden news wont to was probably elected President. Then for the first time since 1865 Confederate bonds were quoted in the Loudon Exohange. Senator Edmunds' proposed amend ment to the constitution of the Unit ed States, providing for the counting of the Electoral vote by the U. S.

Nebraska City News. And there were fifty thousand of Tilden's red-nosed majority In New York City In the same fix. The Omaha Republican pats Church "Howe on the back. A gentleman at our elbow saj-s, "that's pretty thin." Howe is too old a bird to be caught with chaff, and will put his thumb on his nose and say, "flattery is cheap, ibut It takes money to buy cider." On the 12th Inst. Congressman Blair introduced a resolution for a -constitutional amendment forbidding the manufacture and sale of distilled liquors as a beverage after the year .1900. In view of this, old topers might as well commence "tapering - off." "We don't believe Ben. Butler ever stole any spoons, but if he did he is a Wottor and mum honest man than any Domoorat that ever acoueed him of It. Wo always admired "old Ben" for his courage and brains, and for learning the she rebels of New Orleans -a lesson they much needed, for Insult ing his soldiers. When the Electoral college of Lou isiana met to cast its vote for Preai--dent and Vice President, Judge Le- vlssee, who had been tempted to be 'tray his constituents and Btate, rose and said: "Mr. President : Before casting my ballot, I wish to make one remark : I have been offered to-day .$100,000 if I would vote for Samuel J. Tilden. I consider my right to vote for Rutherford B. Hayes worth more than that." "What a d d fool that Church .Howe is," was the emphatic remark of a kind hearted Republican ist week. Central City Courier. No, Howo Is not tbat kind of a fool, "by any means, and his eccentricities will have to be accounted for In some other way. However, a man who would go upon the record with the .position tbat Nebraska has been without a government for more than a .year, might consistently bo called Home kind of a fool by some fellow unacquainted with him. During the Constitutional Conven tion the State Journal made elaborate calculations to show that the present State House could well enough hold the new legislature, end the Lincoln Ites generally swore by it. We coin cided with them then, and differ from them now, only in being of the same opinion still. Kencsaw Times. No difference. Thoj present State House is too small, and as the capital is going to remain at Lincoln, why not make a move toward erecting a more commodious building. Of course we favor keeping the capital where It Is, and of course brother Williams wants the capital removed to Kencsaw, whioh accounts for the difference. We may all be tooselfieh. Democrats have much to say about the popular majority of Tilden, but Republicans know that majority was secured through frauds and intimida tion. We recognize the fact that had the people voted in Mississippi, North Carolina, Alabama according to their own willand convictions, those states would have given large Republican majorities, and in Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina the majorities would have been much larger than they were twenty times as large at least. And so in all the Southern states, had the Republicans been al lowed to vote and a free and fair elec tion, hundreds of thousands would have been Added to the popular vote of HayeB, and given him a larger vote than tbat claimed for Tilden. Could the people of the United States ex press their honest desires at the ballot-box, Hayes would beat Tilden by a half million votes at the lowest esti mate.. He has, in addition to these facts, the electoral votet honestly and falrl;.won, in spite of tho devilish means resorted to to cheat the coun try out of a fair election and defeat him, and he will be declared elected in February and in March he will be inaugurated as the people's choice for President. And if necessary, those Southern people who have been bull dozed and cheated out of the dearest rights of citizenship will make their strength realized and acknowledged by helping to Inaugurate President Hayes and sustaining bJm afterwards. Give those men leaders and arms, and to understand thev are in the line of duty to their county and friends, and their work would be more terrible than tbeir timid efforts to vote. Then may be tested on which side is the popular majority. We hope there will be no occasion for so testing it, but as the Democracy are talking "Tilden or war," we propose "Hayes and the right," if we have to fight for them. This Is the temper of the Re publican party to-day. But If any proper court of arbitrament should de oide against the party and that Tilden is to be the man, then the Republi can party will submit as loyal citi zens.

Hayes was serenaded in the city, this evening, at the house of a friend, Mr. R. C. Anderson, whom ho was visit ing. Early in the evening a salute of 185 guns was fired, and a concourse of 1,000 people gathered aboutjthe house with music and flags. The greatest en thusiasm prevailed, and the Governor responded as follows : "My friends: I will not detain you longer than four or five min utes. I am here on a 6hort visit to your beautiful city of Dayton, not on any political mission, or to talk on any of the political questions of the remarkable canvass that has just dosed. Iunderstand that these greet ings here to-night are not so mucii in honor of myself, as on account of the peouliar interest that Is felt in the present condition of the country. In the excitement that has pervaded be fore and since the election, people of ardent temperament have said and done things that are indiscreet, but as the excitement subsides we begin to return to our better wisdom and judgment. I have too much faith in the eaving common sense of the American people, to think they desire to see In their country a Mex ioanlzed Government. Whatever may be the result at which the lawful authorities shall arrive, you and I will quietly submit, and I have sufficient respect and confidence In the great majority of the opposite party to be lieve they will do the same. I was glad to see in a paper this evening ar article from the London Times respec ting the condition of this country. Such a state of affairs, it said, could notoccur anywhere else In the worfd. The entire area of the country agitat ed by the uncertain issue of the politi cal conflict, yet not one shot fired and not one man killed ; no breaches of the peace. We have seen this Centennial year the wonders of our growth dis played in the exhibition of agricultu ral and mechanical arts, and we are now afforded an opportunity of irlvlng to the world an example of the value of Republican govern ment. In speaking to you this even Ine I have referred, without previous thought, to what mUBt have oc-urred to every one of us standing here, and I take my leave of you with most sin cere acknowledgment of this express- Ion of your friendship and goodwill." A witness before the Congressional committee In New Orleans a Demo cratic lawyer, named S. J. N. Smith testified that Anderson, the election supervisor of East Feliciana, told him that "the parish would goDemooratio, but that ho could count it Republi can.1' And Republicans wanted him "to swear there was frauds practiced by Democrats. "That man that Democratic lawyer evidently swore falaelv. He told a story manufactur ed for the occasion. How unreason able It Is to suppose that a Republican officer, even if he had the disposition to commit a fraud, would tell a lead ing Democrat what he was goiug to do. And the Republicans went to this Democratic lawyer to get him to swear thatDemocrats practiced frauds. How very reasonable. But that vir tuous Demooratio lawyer refused. That style of testimony la purely Democratic. Elsewhere we print a short speech made by President-elect Hayes, made at Dayton, Ohio. It has the real ring of the patriot and" good Citizen The remarks, "I have too much faith in the Baving common sense of the Amer ican people to think they desire to see in their country a Mexloanized gov ernment." And, "Whatever may be the result at which the lawful author ities shall arrive, you and IJwill qui etly submit," are worthy the man the great Republican party voted for. He spoke the universal .'sentiments of hiB party, aud his party will back him, stand by him, and follow him as a leader, because he leads In the right direction. If the Republican party was not lost to every partlole of honor, they would for ever hide their heads in shame at the gross fraud and Imposi tion tbey tried to impose upon the nation in parading before the public that woman, Eliza Pinkston, as a specimen of southern chivalry. Holt County Mo. Press. Those Democrats, who committed the outrages upon her, and murdered her husband and child, would be much better specimens of Southern chivalry to parade. Eliza Pinkston, outraged and covered with wounds, is not a good specimen of Southern chiv alry. She is, however, an excellent specimen of the brutality of southern chivalry. Her testimony will stand as unrefuted history holding up to the gaze of horrified humanity those gallant speoimens of southern chival ry who bravely ride out at night to negro cabins t6 force negro women to appease their chivalric lust and whip negro men, or murder them, for vot ing the Republican ticket. The railroad ouildings at Lake Sta tion, at Council Bluffs, were destroy ed by lire on last Sunday night. One man, by the name of Daniel Duffy, a car inspector, perished in the flames. The dopot hotel, baggage room, tele graph office, and all the ticket offices of the Iowa roads, with the platforms adjoining, were burned up. All the ticket cases, with their contents, in the several ticket offices, were des troyed. The loss was about $40,000. J. E. Markel & Co., proprietors of the railroad hotel lost about $8,000; insur ance, $4,000. This is the fourth time Mr. Markel has been burned out. Most of the oontents of the baggage room were saved. We glean from the Omaha Republican's report. Toombs on Bull-Dozing. There can be no possible doubt that bribery, intimidation and3"bull-doz-ing, was premeditated Iongibefore the November election by the leading Democrats of tho South. Below we give an extraot from a speech deliv ered at Atlanta, Georgia, January 26, 1876, by Robert Tombs, the finest ora tor and one of the oldest rebels during the late war. The speeoh appeared in the Atlanta papers and waB highly applauded. Speaking of the unity of the human race, which he denies, he sayB : "They (the negroes) are formed slaves at home (Africa) and slaves ev erywhere. Look at him in Africa! The Yankees hired Irishmen to do their throat-outting the poor and weaker of that race of Irishmen who fight the battle of every country but their own, aud for others wrongs bo fore their own rights. But tho war ended and the army disbanded. They had already robbed you of everything possible. Then they robbed you of your arms, and then dug into the ground for the last silver dollar that your wife had hoarded all through the dark days to buy bread aud meat iu tho time of distress. They not on ly loved the villians but the villlany ! Applause. This constitution waB made by these thieves to perpetuate themselves in power. What did they do? We got a good many honest fellows into the first legislature, but I will tell you how we got them there. I will tell you the truth. The newspapers won't tell It to you. We got them there by carrying the black vote by intimida tion and bribery ! Laughter, and I helped do it! Applause. I would have scored the people if they had not done it! And I will buy them as long as they put beasts to the ballot box! Cheers. No man should be given the elective franchise who has not the Intelligence to use it properly. The rogue should not have It, for govern ment is made to punish him ; the fool should not, for government is to take care of him. Now, these miserable wretohes the Yankees have Injeot ed five millions of savages into the stomaoh of our body politic, and the man who accepts negro suffrage, I say, accursed be he! Cheers. I donrt want representation based on population alone. It was always upon population and territory, and if you have a convention, I can make you a constitution by which the people will rule, and the nigger will never be heard of. Cheers.

An address has to-night been issued by the Democratic Committee. It is a last desperate attempt to prop a fail ing cause. Governor Hays has been fairly elected by a dear majority of the Electoral vote. There Is no indi cation that any right-minded citizen has any doubt as to the result. The address of the Democratic Committee is an impudentand audacious attempt to prejudice and pervert the public judgment.

The Illustrated History of the Cen tennial Exhibition, with a full des cription of the Great Buildings and all the objeots of interest exhibited in them. By James D. McCabe, author of "The Centennial History of the United States," Etc. Embellished with over 300 fine engravings of build ings and scenes in the Great Exhibi tion. The National Publishing Co. of Philadelphia and St. Louis, havo is sued a handsome volume bearing the above title. The intense interest ev erywhere manifested in the great Ex hibitation, and the desire to obtain a complete and connected account of it, will unquestionably cause this book to have a very extensive sale. This History of the Centennial Ex hibition is not a dry list of articles ex hibited. It is a superb volume of 874 pages, from the pen of one of the most popular authors of the day. Mr. Mc Cabe received the constant and sym pathetic assistance of the Centennial authorities, and enjoyed peculiar ad vantages in the preparation of this work. He went, note-book in hand, through every department of the Ex hibition, and the result oLhU labors w. T WANTS pay the highest price is a work abounding in brilliant des cription of the great World's Fair. He traces the history of the great enter prise from its inception to its trium phant closing day. He then takes us through every part of the Exhibition grounds giving brilliant accounts of every building and other feature of interest within tliem. Wo aro taken through the Main Building, Machin ery Hall, the Agricultural and Hor ticultural Halls, the Art Gallery, the Government Building, and all the other structures, and our deepest at tention is held all the time by the des criptions of the rare and beautiful ob jects contained in them. The book is written with a vigor and brilliancy which renders it a com plete and life-like picture of tho great World's Fair, and which make it in valuable to all olasses of our people. To those who have visited the Exhibi tion it will be a pleasing souvenir of their visit, and enable them to recall tho magnificentscenes they have wit nessed. To those who could not make the journey, the book is a necessity, for it will enable them to enjoy the delights of a thorough acquaintance with tho great Exhibition In the quietude of their own homes. There is not another book in print which gives one-fourth of the infor mation contained In this work. It is superbly illustrated, and the price is so low that all can afford to secure a copy. The book is sold by subscrip tion only, and the publishers want agents in every county. The South Carolina Wade Hampton nuilificationists can claim tho merit of diabolical consistency.
