The Chicago Post, speaking of Gen.
Ben. Butler's views on the Southern
policy and civil nervice, says:
He Been nothing commendable or
promising in the efforts of the Presi

which the gentleman cannot help,
because he has educated himself as a
politician rather than a statesman.
There is more real, practical, sensi
ble, far seeing Statesmanship in Ben.
F. Butler han In any man in either
hou9e of Congress. The conceit of
some little editors is really disgusting.
The Post man giving Ben. Butler
lessons in Statesmanship !
Really, we are afraid ttiat Paddock
would make a better clown than sen
ator. Lincoln Globe.
We are not particularly a Paddock
man, but we do like to see fair play
and decent gentlemanly treatment
toward our Senators. Nebraska has
but three representatives in the Na
tional Congress, and. whatever bene
fits she receives or is to receive from
that source must oomo through those
three gentlemen. Therefore for the
good of the State they should receive
all the encouragement and moral sup
port from the people and newspapers
cf the State in any way consistent
and reasonable. We know very well
they are not the smartest men in the
world, but we do know they are at
least ordinarily intelligent and hon
est, and while they aiay sometimes do
things which all cannot indorse, in
the main their eflorts for their con
stituents are prompted by good mo
tives and an honest desire to repre
sent them fairly ; and the people of
the state, so long as such is the case,
should approve and uphold, rather
than iudulge in or approve of such
exceedingly low flings as are found in
the Linooln Globe. We are naturally
Inclined to. look into and investigate
the cause of thiugs, and this inclina
tion leads us to ask why the Globe is
''afraid that Paddock would make a
better clown than Senator?' That
paper does not give any reason for its
venom and why it stoops into the
dirtiest kind of dirt in order to be
spatter Senator Paddock. While it
la usually shameless, it would be
ashamed to print it real reason for so
doing. It would be ashamed to say
that Us editor went to Washington
for an appointment to a fat office, and
wanted Senator Paddock's support,
and that Senator Paddock, knowing,
the man, refused to help him, and he
bad to return to his dea in Lincoln
disappointed, sore and full of malice.
It is important sometimes to know
the motives which move men to act
and speak. When they are moved by
t.1-. honorable, and noble Impulses,
the peop 8P?Iaud aud approve, but J
when moved by impulses of malice
and sordid revenge, so, In a corres
ponding manner, do the people reject
and condemn.
A late dispatch from Washington
to the Globe Democrat in relation to
the vast crops of the year just passed
away, says the reports of the corres
pondents of the Department of Agri
culture, received and now in course of
preparation for Immediate publication
show the enormous aggregate yield of
360,000,000 bushels of wheat for 1877,
which is 50,000,000 bushels more than
ever before produced. The same offi
cial authority shows that the corn
product was 1,300,000,000 bushelB.with
corresponding large yields of oata and
potatoes. The report shows that there
never was greater abundance in the
land. Out of the wheat product it is
estimated, deducting for homo cou
simption in food and seed, that up
wards of 110,000.000 bushels of wheat
can be spared for export. The largest
export 3'et made in one year was 91,
000,000 bushels, with an average of 63,
000.000 bushels. The Department is
also in receipt of information from
wheat producingsections of Europe,
from which it is ascertained that the
wheat crop in Southwestern Europe,
which produces the largest of the sur
plus, Is good; in Southern Russia,
amounting to 25 per cent, above the
average. The crop in Northwestern
and Northern Europe is poor. It is
stated in communications from South
ern Russia that if the war should stop
shortly, there will be a largo ship
ment, and that shippers are ready to
take advantage of the first opportuni
ty. Great Britain offering the lowest
market, which will, it is stated re
quire about 100,003,000 bushels from
the present season's yield. The Amer
ican surplus will have its ueual de
mand in English markets, with un
increase subject to the contingencies
of the existing struggle In Southwest
ern Europe being prolonged iuto an
other season. The Department is al
Boin receiptof very flattering acoounts
of the encouragement wich the great
3'ield of the past season is having on
every class of an terpriBe. The acreage
of winter wheat for this year is great
er than that of last-.
A London ppecial says: "Give no
credeuce to rumors of early peace on
any terms sliort of ilia extinction of
the Ottoman power. The indications
continue abundant that Russia intends
to gain this point, even ot the risk of
war with England herself. That is
the meaning of the Czar's call for an
other quarter of a million of men. If
Lord Darby, in his attempt at medita
tion, is able to offer such terms as
please Russia the Czar may possibly
yield his purpose to negotiate directly
with Turkey, but this is only among
the. possibilities. The organizing by
the Czar of ah army of the Baltic in
dicates his iutention to be ready to
guard the coast in the event of a war
with England. This is&lgnificaut ev
idence of the possible contingency he
anticipates, and his ulterior purposes
and resolution. Meantime private in
formation is that active operations are
to be pressed as rapidly as the weath
er permits. There will be no new
campaign, but n prolongation of the
present one until Turkey falls irre
trievably.' Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 30. The
liabilities of John D. Park, who fail
ed yesterday, are $125,000. His assets

Nebraska City, Dec. 2S, 1S77.
Kdltor Advertiser:
In your issue of , the following
inquiry appears :
The Nebraska City Press Fpeaks of
J. W. Pearmau as a "renegade Re
publican." How's that Major? We
lire sorry to hear such a thing said,
aud still more sorry if true.
And in order to stop the effusion cf
tears, and put at rest the upheaving
bosom of au old and long cherished
friend, I rise to explain aud beg leave
to assure you that tho Press licth
muchly.
W. A. Brown which waB P. M.
was recently bounced out of the post
office, because his cash account failed
to balance by SoSO 00. This discovery
in Brown's money account was
brought about by a petition to the
Postmaster General, asking that an
agent be detailed for the purpose of
overhauling the postal affairs at this
place. Not long after this complaint
was made, special agent Furray, of
tho Post Office Department called in,
and without telling Brown what was
up, asked for his books and money.
The books showed so much on
hand but the money drawer was
minus the $380.00. And when Brown
attempted to deceive Furay by count
ing the money on hand twice, the
agent bid him good-by and reported
the facts, which resulted in Brown's
removal, aud Schmiuke's appoint
ment. Being the legal adviser of what is
here known as tho "lost cause," I
took Brown in a baok ally of the
Press office, and there tqftd him tho
best thing he could do for himself
and posterity was to flee the country
and go to Missouri. This he would
have done, had it not been for a high
toned Democrat who advised liim to
remain, saying, "O. P. Morton will
soon die ; Dan Voorhees will take his
place, and. as Voorhees and me are old
chums, we shall defeat Schmiuke's
confirmation and you will be rein
stated." Thi9 advice my client heed
ed and I was dismissed, without pay,
from pushing his case any further.
Seeing the very delicate fix my cli
ent was placed in, and not wishing to
leave him with his breeches down,
and finding no way by which they
could bo buttoned up, I concluded to
bury him alive preaohing his funer
al j taking my text fram that passage
of scripture which says, "In the midst
of life rvc arc in death." The text
was very appropriate and the sermon
a regular eye-opener. Joe Potter, of
the Jveuu, and the best editor. Tom
Morton -says, he ever had, was pres
ent and reported my sermon for his
paper, and because it first appeared in
the JXews, a Demooratio paper, the
Press claims that I am a "renegade
Republican" writing for a Democratic
sheet. Such charges are false and
malicious and are sprung at this time
for the purpose of injuring my stand
ing in the party and defeating my
nomination for road supervisor at the
next Republican convention.
I am sorry that e.o prominent a
journal as The Advertiser should
think for a moment that I am in any
way shaky. No, no ! Mr. Adver
tiser, I am true to the faith, and I
doubt very much if you could find a
more orthodox Republican in all the
west than I am. So firmly convinced
am I in the faith that I refuse my
wife tho privelege of borrowing coffee
and meal from her Democratic neigh
bors. It Is my orthodoxy that wor
ried the Press folks, hence the charge
of "renegade."
Up here, when the Press Bays a man
is disloyal to the party, it is consider
ed he is all right on the goope; and
when it says John Doe is a rascal, we
look upon the said Doe as an honest
man and vice versa. If that paper
speaks well of a Democrat even in a
business point of view, his party
friends look upon him as a weak
brother, and shun him. If it says he
is a thief, he is certain of election to
some lucrative office. Thus you see
wo are better educated as to what that
paper says, and its effects upon the
people, than you Brownyillians are.
The Press is now seeking the po
litical destruction of one of Otoe's
most honored citizens I mean the
Hon. J. Sterling Morton by bedaub
ing him from one end to tho other
with its putrid slime. That gentle
man cannot mark a pig, set a hen or
doctor a hog for the cholera, without
that villianous sheet mentioning the
fact with flaming head Hues like the
guide boards at a railroad crossing.
Not long 3ince Dr. Miller of the Her
ald, and 'Governor Morton," had a
little spat with each other as to which
of them had said the meanest things
about Dan Voorhees; and character
istic of the Press, it put in its yawp
and took tho fight off" the "govern
or's" hands. This assumption on the
part of the Press has brought the gov
ernor down a peg or two among dem
ocrats who don't know him, but
those who do know him, have undy
ing faith in his time honored allegi
ance to the democratic party.
Tii us again you see, where the Press
is known, people likewe and Morton
care but little what it says, for it can
do us no harm. But when a stray
copy gets as far away from home as
Brownville, and the inhabitants
thereof read it, they are liable to be
deceived. Hence I rise to explain,
much lengtheir than I fchould have
otherwise done. To further show you
of the pure cusseduess of that sheet,
I have only to refer you to the fact
that 6ome two months since, the Ag
ricultural Congress of the United
States assembled in Chicago, and
among the representatives present
was Mr. Morton of Nebraska . Dur
ing the deliberations of that august
body of men, the president had oc
casion to go out and wet his whistle,
and while absent,' Mr. Mojton occu
pied the chair temporarily.
No eoouer was this done than a
special reporter of the Press telegraph
ed that paper to the effect that "Gov
ernor Mor'on of Nebraska was elect
ed temporary chnirmau of the agri
cultural Congress."
A copy of that paper found its way
to Chicago, and the Times of that city
called him Governor, also.
Had the Times known what a lying
sheet the Press was, and how it was
trying to belittle Mr. Morton at home
by publishing his name in its columns,
it would have refrained from printing
such stuff as it did.
You see that paper is destined to
work mischief and devilment 'wher
ever aud whenever it can. So far as I
am concerned, I care but little whatit
says about me, but when it under
takes to fight tho battles of "Govern
or Morton,1' it assumes what it can
not do ; for Morton is looked upon as
a much abler writer than Brown of
the Press is, and Is fully competent to
slay Doctor Miller or any other man
over his own signature, when he feels
like doing so. It worries "Governor
like fun to see the Press idiots come
to his rescue.
No, I am not a renegade Republi
can. J. W. PEAR3IAN.
Heavy-Licks, True, and to the Point.
Says Hamburgh Butler In-
his
South Carolina speech :
I hope they will not repeat It. If
they do repeat it, take my word for it
I will give them as good as they send.
I will add that I can never consent to
degrade myself to the level of brutal
ity, cowardice and blackguardism
which characterized their conduct to
ward me.
It is interesting to hear a man who
organized a mob to commit one of the
most barbarous acts of modern times
talk about a "cowardly attack' upon
himself when he was "disarmed." As
for a peer. Hamburg Butler has none,
and should wait until some fiend like
Thomassen.with an infernal machine
is elected to the Senate.before he talks
about being a peer. In the meantime
he should remember that the north
"won't scare worth a cent," and that
his threats won't go so far as they did
In the days when "Bully Brooks"
Rwasrcered about the capital bearing a
cane red with better blood than flows
in the veins of his successor. The
north Is takine note of the kind of
conciliation which Hambnreh Butler
represents. Boston Traveller.
X Card From 3Ir. Hitchcock.
To the Editor of the Republican.
Omaha, Dee. 20th, 1S77.
I find, on ray arrival home.that the
miscreant who six years ago fastened
his fangs upon me, and ever since that
time (at firat for the hope of getting
something, aud afterwards for revenge
because he failed) has kept his hold
with bloodthirsty persistence is in an
agony of fear that I may go to Paris as
consul general.
That his forlorn soul, so toesed and
butfetted by the waves of hate, may
have a moment's rest, I beg to eny
that lam not now, have not been, and
shall not be an applicant for this position-
Farther than this I can
not with propriety say.
I can, however, add that during my
late trip east, I have neither seen or
spoken to President Hayes or Secreta
ry Evarts nor have I either verbally
or in writing in person or by proxy-
approached any member of the cabin
et or officer of the govemmwnt for that
or any other position. In regard to
the charge that my career in tne Sen
ate was a "disgrace to Nebraska," I
have to say that I had aud still have
the respect aud friendship of every
senator democratic or republican
with whom I served. I leave it to
others to decide whether they serv
ing with me day by day for tix year
or this professional maiiguer
would be more competent to know,
and more honest to decide, whether I
disgraced them aud my state.
Decent men may wonder that I. no
tice, even briefly, bo vile an attack.
My apology i'b that for nearly a year
that I have been in private life' (saying
nothing of attacks when I was a Sen
ntor) this man has followed me even
in the ver3 shadow of the sorest do
mestic affliction with the ferocity of
a bloodhound the malignity of a fiend
and the amiable manners of a cut
throat. The mangiest cur may by
continuous yelping, sometimes ruffle
the temper of the most amicable.
P. W. Hitchcock.
"Butler knew about it, and approv
ed it." Hamburg Butler.
Mr. Roberts says :
"He left Columbus convinced that
if Hayes became I resident he would
dpal justly by Louisiana and South
Carolina. He stated this to such
Southern men as had any right to ask
questions about thp matter. He par
ticularly said so to Gen. M. C. Butler,
of South Carolina, who was in Wash
ington during the troubled times of
electorial count, and General Butler
received assurances that Mr. Roberts
was correctly informed from persons
qualified to speak."
That makes us pnsy. We were
afraid Butler wasn't familiar with the
business. Inter Ocean.
The ohemists of Berlin have been
occupied lately in analyzing the wares
of the wine merchants, and no little
excitement has been caubed by the
discovery that the entire stock of one
of the largest houses dealing In wines
for medical purposes consisted entirely
of artificially prepared mixtures of
spirit aud sugar solutions, flavored
with various herbs. Nature.
An investigation of the same kind
here would astonish the lovers of 'Old
Port' and 'Maderia'and of the fine im
ported stock generally over which we
are accustomed to smack our lips. We
doubt whether there is a genuine cask
of pure imported vat wine in the city.

up, and shout aloud : "See what thp
