CTyyggwpwBWSi-w m!izr? g - . .-. -v THE ADVERTISER. THURSDAY, MAY 23. 1878. A kindergarten Bchool baa been started In Falls City, Neb. KnoxvIIIe.Tennefisee, reports straw berries bIx inches in circumference. The OhloDemooraoy will hold their State convention at Columbus, Juno 2Gth. O'Leary, the pedestrian, who out walked nil Europe, baa returned to Chicago. &- The Regents of Iowa have elected J. L Pickard, of Chicago, president of the State University. Buffalo Bill has made a financial Buooess of his show business. Dur ing the past season, it Js said, he clear ed $38,000. Jno. B. Finch, tho temperance evangelist, reports' that he has enroll ed 44,000 in tho Red Ribbon army of Nebraska. The Democrat, Clark county, Ky., learns that whole fields of corn are being destroi'ed in that county by a strange insect. A Bradford, Pa., dispatch of the IGth says, "There was another heavy frost last night. All fruit buds are de stroyed in the valleys." Lincoln papers speak of parlies Who recently took hold of the salt works there as probable to make the business of manufacturing salt sucess ful and remunerative. Douglass, of the House, from Vir ginia, was drunk again the other day and had to be taken care of by his friends, for fear he would again slop over with Democratic giory. A couple of Irish tramps were re cently seen shlllaly in hand, making their way from Vermont over into Canada, hence tho Canucks are scar ed nearly to death about an Irish in vasion. An investigation which took place last week of the kind of treatment re ceived by prisoners in the Joliet, 111. penitentiary, showed cruelty which could not be exposed too soon. A convlot named Reed, it was shown, died recently under the inlllctlouB of the whip and the gag. Two farmers near Seward, Nebras ka, named respectively, Heed and Davis, got Into a quarrel last Friday morning about their cattle, when Reed drew a pistol and ahofc Davis through tho breastr from the effect of which he died on the evening of the same day. Both parties were highly respectable in the community. Reed delivered himself to the oflicers. Tho St. LouIb Globe-Democrat nom inates Gen Shields for U. S. Senator. Democratic nominations by a Repub lican nowspaper are not likely to amount to much In the way of suc cess; and the Democrats of Missouri oould not bo suspected of-doing, any thing bo decent as chosiug General Shields. We'presume, too, they have plenty of confederate generals left in that State more elligible. Tho Democraoy, in their eagerness to investigate frauds has raked up a hornet's nest In its own ranks. The Oregon enterprise, In which Tilden, 'Patrick and Dr. Miller of the Omaha Jlcrald figured, is rearing its head, and "won't be down at bidding." Dr. JVfiller picked up and hurried off to Washington tho other da3 to help Tegulate things. Will Patriok also go? Guess not, unless he be sent for. Is he named ? This Is the question that puzzles the mind of Nebraska politioiaus. Is the nest Congress man named, or is tho next Governor iiumed ? From a medley of candi dates already named this question-Is rather a doubtful as well as a serious one. West Point Republican. Yes, the one-horse politicians seem to do a good deal of fruitless worrying over these names. But the people the masses of honest- voters, are not troubling themselves at all over the matter, and when the time arrives they will send representative men as delegates to the convention who will nominate representative men, regard less of the wise speculations of would be wire-pullers. That's what's the matter. On Friday last the Potter resolution , to investigate the Presidential vote in Florida, passed the lower house of Congress. TheDemooraoy will ueither oust Hayes nor benefit their party by this movement. Hayes is President and a revolution or rebellion, success ful, oould only throw him out, and suoh means would fail, for the people, opposed to reopening the question settled by solemn enactment and agreement of both parties, would pro tect him, and tha party- inaugurating the fuss would be rendered weaker and more odious than it was ac the close of the rebellion. Through Dera ooratio craziness for power wo again begin to feel a hope of success for the Republican party. In the United States the Republi can party has been eminently the pa,rty of progress. It has been the party of courage. It has included in Its rans the vigor of the nation. Charleston (III.) Ptalndealer. True, iu every word. If Its mem bere prove true, to the party and them selves, there is much yet of good that will be aoooraplished; by this party of courage and progress. Northern In dianian. Yes, but the trouble has been the party has not been true to itself. It has been magnanimous to an unap preciative enemy, when it should have been only just. Through a per . verso sentimentality it warmed a nest of vipers to animation only to recog- uize the hands that nourished them by deadly stings. It dealt in a false, sniveling, generosity by delivering it self unarmed to a foe who never felta heart throb of generosity. The Re publican party has "given itself away.'' It iiaB permitted one idea reformations, petty spites, local quar rels, frivolous, silly excuses, to divide its ranks, while the solid confederate Democracy march up and take pos session of the national congress. If the party everywhere would appreci ate the motto that "In union there is strength," muchjlost could doubtless be regained. But we have only a faint hope. Temperance Jlsitters. In a report, in the Omaha Iiepubli can, of views expressed in the tem perance convention at Lincoln last week regarding a temperance politi cal party. Gen. Bowen, of Juniata Grand Worthy Chief Templar of the Temple of Honor, Enid: We have come here to consider calmly what is best to be done to erad icate intemperance, and that he was in favor of any measure which wouli stop the sale of spirituous liquors en tirely. He avocated mingling temper ance with politics, but would carry it only into the party to which he be longed ; he was not In favor of a new political or temperance party, but as a republican, would say to his party that they must nominate temperance men, or be would not support them, and that his neighbor, who is a demo crat, should say the same to Itis party. Gen. Bowen was loudly applauded. This is preoisely the doctrine we have advocated on this question. Major D. H. Wheeler, of Piatts moutb, and others, took the same po sition. Major Wheeler said : He had nut oomo to assist in organ izing a new political party, but to as sist in a temperance organization ; no work of this kind could de carried on successfully without a thorough or ganization. More than all, he had come to encourage the men who had come up out of the gutter, and who were always the hardest workers when reformed. We want to go to democrat and republican and say, come with us, and elect no one to the legislature unless he be an avowed temperance man. We should oppose organizing a new party. I expect to co-operate with this movement, and I ask not whether it be a political ad vantage to me or not. The following resolutions were re ported; Resolved. That this body orgauize Into a State organization known as the "State Temporance Society of the State of Nebraska," with a president, secretary, treasurer and vice president ulso a central committee consisting of one member from euoh senatorial dis trict, to be appointed at its next meet ing. That the first meeting of this Bociety shull be held in the city of Lincoln, on the day of , 1S78, at which time a committee on constitution, who shall be appointed at this meeting shall report for adop tion, a constitution for the future gov ernment of this society ; but the ob ject of this society shall be tho pro motion of the general Interests of the temperance work, by the circulation of temperance literature, the employ ment of temperance lecturers, the or ganization of lucnl auuletiea, uuJ by using all honorable means within its power for the overthrow of the curse of curses-the licensed sale of aloohol ic liquors In the State. This society shall be composed of such delegates as may bo certified to the secretary by any local temperance society of what ever name in the State, having an ao tual organization and working to pro mote the temperance reform in this State. Resolved, That while we discard any and all attempts to bring the question of party politics, so-called, into the temperance work, yetas tem perance workers, recognizing the li censed sale of intoxicating liquors as the greatest evil with which we have to contend, we demand of the several political parties of this state the re peal of all laws licensing said trafllc, and the passing of laws prohibiting the sale of liquors with adequate pen alties attached thereto for the viola tion of the same. After the adoption of the foregoing resolutions, the "State Temperance Society of the State of Nebraska" was orgaulzed by the election of the following officers : G. B. Skinner, President, Lincoln ; D. H. Wheeler, 1st Vice President, Plattsmoutb ; J. H. Holden, 2nd Vice President, Tecumseh ; Lee Love, 3d Vice President, York ; L. W. Bill ingsley , Secretary, Lincoln ; S. A. Ful ton, Treasurer, Falls City. Committee on constitution and by laws: L. W. Billiugsley, Judge Met calf, A. W. Rich, J. W. Steward, J. W. Pearman. At ono o'clbok on the morning of the 18th inst., in DeKalb county, Ind., a young man named John Abbott, entered the house of an old and high ly respected farmer named Francis Houlton, with the intention of rob bing Houlton of money that had been paid him the day previous. Houl ton being awakened got out of bed, when Abbot met and shot him. By threats he enforced quiet by the bal ance of the family, by whom he was well known, until his search for the money was over, when he departed. He failed to find the money, and it is a wonder he did not also kill the wife and daughter which constituted the family. The -sheriff being at once notified of Abbott's exploit, captured him within a few miles of the scene of his crime. Abbott has served one term In the Indiana penitentiary North. Some weeks ago it was discovered that some hunters and trappers from Kearney, Nebraska, named Luther L. Holbrook, Wm. F. Sutton, Jacob Sutton, (brothers) aud Herman Allen, had been murdered, in the unorgan ised territory west of Sherman coun ty, their dead bodies having been found by friends, near their camp; aud it being believed that one Hank Hargraves and two other men, whose names are not ascertained, were the murderers, Governor Garber has is sued his proclamation and published it in the State Journal, setting forth the facts, and offering $200 reward for the arrest and convlotion of the mur ders or either of them. A notorious cattle thief named-Sam Kelly, for whose arrest $5,000 was of fered, was arrested last week near Ft. MoKinney by George Snyder of the detective agency, and a posse of soldiers. Pennsylvania Republicanism. On the loth inst. the Republicans of the old KeystoneState met In conven tion at Harrlsburg. Unusual harmo ny marked all the proceedings. The following ticket was nominated with enthusiasm, and gives unusual satis faction : For Governor Gen. Henry M. Hoy I of Luzerne county. For Lieut. Governor Charles W. Stone, of Warren. Judge of Supreme Court James. P. Sterrett, of Allegheny. Secretary of Internal Affairs Aaron P. Dunkle, of Philadelphia. The following excellent platform which gives no uncertain sound was enthusiastically adopted : 1. That it la uncompromisingly op posed to free trade, in whatever dis guise presented, unchangiugly devot ed to borne industry, and hereby avows its special and direct hostility to the tariff bill now pending in Con gress, the same being in the interest of importers and foreign manufactur ers and in opposition to American la bor. 2. That labor being thegreatsource of national wealth, the prosperity of the nation must depend upon the ex tent to which labor is protected and employed, and that our government, being a government of the people, should endeavor to promote, by all proper means, the commercial and in dustrial interests of the nation that la bor and capital may be both profitably employed. 3. That American commerce should be fostered and home enterprise devel oped by the National Government to the end that our manufacturing, rain ing, agricultural, und industrial inter ests may flourish, our people find em ployment, and the country be restor ed to permanent prosperity. 4. That the public lands belong to the people, and should bereserved ex clusively for aotual settlers, so that the industrious may be encouraged, and aided to enter upon and ocoupy them. 5. That we are now, as ever oppos ed to the payment of claims from the National Treasury to those lately "en gaged or sympathizing with the rebel lion. No conqueror should bo forced to pay indemnity to the conquered, and the presentation of bills demand ing over three hundred million dol lars to the present Democratic House is a warning to the country of the cost and danger of retaining in pow er a party wh$se chief aim is to make reprisals on the tax-payers for losses which tho crime of treason brought upon the Southern people. 6. That we view with alarm the growing depression of many of the leading trade interests of the State and country, resulting largely, it is believed, from unfair advantages and discriminating rates of freight and transportation privileges given by many of the transportation compan ies of the State and country to a fa vored few, to the prejudice of our gen eral producing interests; and this convention earnestly recommended the enactment of such laws by the State and national legislature as will correct thiB growing evil. 7. That Southern Republicans, white and colored, have our earnest sympathy in the unequal contest to which they are subjected for civil lib erty and the maintenance of their constitutional privileges, and that in the intesests of their guaranteed rights, we demand from the General Ouvcrumont fur llieiu equal and fair ballot, and that equality before the law which should be the boast of every government. 8. That the administration of Gov ernor Hartranft meets the hearty en dorsement and unqualified approval of the party that eleoted him and con tinues to honor him. He has proved himself an able magistrate, true patri ot, and wiseofflcer, and his party tend ers him the praise due to personal up rightness, to political devotion, and to official rectitude. The resolutions were unanimously adopted without debate. Those pro testing against the payment of rebel claims, in favor of a protective tariff, and eulogistic of Governor Hartranft's administration were loudly applaud ed. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Michael De Witt, Irish, was shot five times, and killed, by a Bohemian named Jos. Sparks, In Chicago on the 16th. Rev. J. S. Donaldson, of Merrick county, Neb., died from Injuries re ceived by falling over a fence in hur ry to save himself from the attaok of u vicious sow. Jno. M. Fisher, of the firm of Fish er & Co.

Very likely. INVESTIGATE Tins. The Massacre of Judge- Chisholm and Family Memorial Services. Washington, May 19. Services In memory of the late Judge Chisholm, son and daughter, murdered a year ago in Kemper county, Mississippi, were held this morning in the Metro politan District Episcopal Church. The Rev. H. R. Naylor, the pastor, preaohed a short sermon before a large congregation, Mrs. Chisholm being present, aud Bishop Haven pro nounced the eulogy, In the course of which he said: "We must defend freedom of speech and freedom of the ballot or we perish from earth. To this coming perfection of national peace and power this sad event will contribute. This family are martvrs to the American equality of right, to the Declaration of Independence, and to the preamble of the Constitution. It was for tho cauBe of equal rights the father fought and the family fell. It was' for the protection of every citi zen at tho polls, for true democracy, the government of the majority of voters legally and fearlessly express ed, for the American nation, for the rights of mankind, that this citizen of America, with his brave son and braver daughter, laid down their lives. Their cries of agony and death shall never be forgotten never below, never above!" The prospect of no war, at present, between Russia and England, is be coming perceptible. They will not fight is our last guess up to date. A fire at Cauton, Iowa, on the IGth destroyed tho grange elevator which contained $15,000 worth of grain, aud much other property. GRANT TO THE UNION SOLDIERS. He Hopes None of Them TVill Ever Feel a Disposition to Apologize for the Part They Took in the Late War Newark, Ohio, May 14, 1878. To tho Editor of tho Inter Ocean." " Presuming that the inclosed letter, which I have just received from Gen erul Grant, would be of interest to the readers of your valuable paper, I in close it herewith. Yours truly, C. D. Miller. Milan, Italy, April 27, 1878. Major C. 1). Miller, Secretary Society or Sol diers aud Sailors of Licking County. Dear Major : Your cordial invi tation forme to attend a general re union of the veterans of Ohio, to bo held under the auspices of the Socie ty of the Soldiers and sailors of Lick ing County, at Newark, on the 22nd day of July, is this day received. It always affords me pleasure to meet at the gatherings of the soldiers aud sailors who patriotically risked their lives for the preservation of their country, and it would afford me spe cial pleasure to meet with those hail ing from my native State. But tho Atlantic will be between us at the time of your proposed reunion. This Is the first opportunity, of my llrU IU vlHll ISUruutt , Itivlll llHoly ho. my last. There is much here -to see which I have not yet seen, and I de sire to remain to partly accomplish the tour which I had marked out for myself. I trust the veterans of Ohio may have a most auspicious reunion on the coming occasion, and that none of them will ever feel a disposition to apologize for the part they took in the late struggle for national existenoe, nor for the cause for which they fought. With great respect, your old companion, U. S. Grant. Only a Sample. Wo printed the other day from the New York Tribune a statement of the public claims for ulledged "Improve ments" which the Southern States al reudy have pending before Congress. Those claims foot up $192,000,000. The Tribunenow supplements its former list with another, showing the num ber and amount of private Southern olaims, making n grand total with the public "improvement" claims of about $300,000,000. If these things are seen in the year when tho South is in posession of but one branch of tho Government, what may be ex pected when the full corn is in the ear, and the South has control of all parts of all branches of tho Govern ment, if that time ever comes, whioh may Heaven forbid ! All tho political signs of the pres ent session of congress indicate that the democratic party is again as thoroughly under the domination of a southern and sectional element as it was before the war, and that demo cratic acquisition to power will be us ed us a means for robbing the public treasury to pay rebel claims and satis fy a, greedy demand for southern sub sidies. The strength of the democrat ic party is in the south, and the south will use it for its own advantage in defiance of justice and patriotism. The democratic party has no leaders in the north who dare to protest against the dictation of the confeder ate brigadiers. Chicago Tribune. Thomas Osborne, of Sewrrd, waked up one night last week and heard one of his horses making a disturbance. He got up and went to the stable and found one of his span gone. Unty ing the other he jumped on his back and let him go. Tho horse took down to the timber in search of his mate, and Osborne found the-missing horse held by a man who whisperiugly in quired, "is it you?" Osborne repli ed, "Yes you e n of a b h !" and the man left instanter. It looks as though Seward was headquarters for horse fanciers. York Republican. .

Abody of strangers are encamped in the woods near this place. They are Irish men, well dressed and intelligent. Ac cessions are being made to the camp almost hourly. The Canadian militia has been called out, and there seems to exist a feeling all along the border that immediate invasion of Canada by a large army of Fenians is more than probable. There is one individual in Lincoln who has not drank a drop of water, except that from the artesian well, for over three months.
