The First National Bank of St. Jos eph, Mo. was robbed during business hours on the 21st of $19,700. No clue as to- who the robber was or the man ner of accomplishing the robbery. C. B. Wilkinson has become busi ness manager of the St. Joe Gazette. "Wilkinson Is now editor of the Mon day Morning News, and prior to his revenue troubles was editor of the Herald. The association of American Nur aerymen met in Rochester, N. Y., on the 21st. J. J. Harrison of PaiUBville, Ohio was elected president. Cleve land was selected as the place for "holding the next annual meeting. The Omaha Republican is publish ing, daily, a column or so of crop re ports from all over the State, and these reports represent the wheat, corn, and all the root and vegetable crops, everywhere. In most promising con dition. Benevolent, patriotic women of the East, such as Mrs. Mary Clemmer, are raising a fund for the election of a monument to the memory and honor of Cornelia Chisnolm, who was mur dered while attempting to shield her father from assassination by a mob of Mississippi Democrats. The Washington liepublican Ba3s Wateraon of the Louisville Courier Journal haa a six-inch bombshell in bim that was lodged there while he was defending the Confederate flag, and has not exploded. He has lived In constant fear of an eruption ever since. He drinks to wet the fuse. There is a scope of territory In the extremeaouthern part of Illicois call ed "Egypt," and, it Is said, the Inhab itants never take a newspaper. We should regret to see many of that class come to Nebraska. Tecumseh Chief tain. They don't take newspapers because they can't read. And they are all Democrats of course. A man named Potter, who some time ago harnessed himself to a wheelbarrow, at Albany, N". Y.f and started to wheel it to San Francisco, arrived in Council Bluffs on the 22d, where he rested until Monday. Pot ter is to receive a sum of money $1, 000 we believe It is if he accomplish es the feat within a given time. When at the Bluffa he was fifteen days ahead of'time. We notice a "special" from Lincoln to the Omaha Republican announc ing that U. S. Marshal Wm. Daily's name has been brought out by his frienda in Lincoln as a candidate for Governor. Well, since the Idea is mentioned we say all right there isn't a better man in the State for the positron, and the Marshal has hoBts of friends scattered In every portion of the State, who will back him strong ly no doubt. If the administration Republicans have any sense of gratitude, they ought to cease their sneers at the "Confederate Brigadiers" of the pres ent Congress. Senator Ben. Hill's Interesting disclosures prove that if the Confederate Brigadiers did not actually make Mr. Hayes President, they did secure his inauguration by thwarting a formidable soheme to re sist it. Nashville Banner. Aud he has thwarting. paid dearly for the The farmer must recollect that his sons will learn by example and not by precept. If he spend his days in town, his boys will follow his exam ple. Exchange. Wo don't believe all of that. A sharp, sensible boy sees the follies of his father and avoids them. The meanest boys we ever knew were those whose parents were said to be "pious," and rigidly religious. This is conceded as generally the case not withstanding the direotlon of the log ic of the fact. Tbe Boston Courant says the figures of drink are among the most amaz ing of statistics. At a little gather ing of lager beer drinkers and makers in New York and of New York, the 2 other night, the facts as to the con sumption of this product were brought out. The leading New York and Staten Island breweries sold In New York between May 1, 1877, and May 1, 1878, the total amount of 5,771,896 kegs of larger. There are 115 glasses in a keg, bo that for that year New YorJc drank the modest sum of G63, 767,040 glasses of lager beer. At 5 cents a glass, this would oost about $33,000,000. "We would have no objection to the above tioket, except that the names should be reversed. Tecumseh Chief tain. "The Tecumseh Chieftain favors for 1830 a Presidential tioket standing on Its head." Nebraska Advertiser. If "TO PUT IXEACH OTHER'S PIACE ; to confound," (which ia one of Web ster's definitions of reverse) mean in vert, then the Advertiser is right and Webster is wrong. Our opinion is, the Advertiser has blundered a little. Critics should use due caul ion. Chief tain. It seems to. us if. the head- otha- ticket was at the bottom, the ticket would stand on its head unless you would turn the ticket upside down. Don't you see it? The Omaha Republican, In an edit orial notice of Congressman Frank Welch's speech in behalf of the effort to establish a mint in Omaha, pays that 'gentleman a deserved compli ment as follows: "The statement on behalf of Omaha was made by Hon. Frank Welch, and embraces seven pages of the pamphlet. Embodying the statistics gathered by our Board of Trade committee and others, it also contains many interest ing suggestions, origiual with Mr. Welch. 'We should be glad as a mat ter of justice to that well-abused gen tlemen to present the whole of his ad dress, but must content onrselves with the general introduction and closing paragraph. Mr. Welch haa made no pretentious speeches In congress ; he has been content te do good, honest, solid work, and "let his works praise him," but in this address ho shows qualities as a speech-maker of which no working representative of any State need be ashamed." The following is a specimen of many such clashes that have ocourred be tween the President and the Republi cans of the Senate, and tends to show the degree of harmony existing. Wo feel an irrepressible approbation for the loyal hearted men who stood firm ly for Republicans and Republican principles. We extract from a spec ial to the Inter Ocean : The Senate rejected Iteid, nomina ted to be Murahul ol Alabama, whose nomination has been pending belure that body ever since President Hayes wus inaugurated. This was one ut the first appointments he made ut the ex tra sebbiou of the Senate in March, 1S77, aud wus mude to please tho Dem ocrats of Alabama. Held is a Demo crat, and Turner, a Republican carpet bagger, one of Spencer's friends, was removed to give him the place. At the end of the.special session Ileid's name was dropped by the Senate, aud Turner wout buck into office. During the summer of 1S77 Turner was re moved again aud Reid appointed, hid nomination being sent to the Senate at the special session in October, but when thatsesoiou ended it wus allow ed to drop without confirmation again, and the office was again transferred to Turner. The President was as per sistent in making Reid's appointment as Spencer was in defeating confirma tion, and Reid's name was sent to the Senate for a third time at the begin ning of thepresoutsessiou. Now tbe nomination is rejected, aud Turner goes back into the office from which he hasbeen three times removed. It has been a fight between Senator Spencer and the President, in which Spencer has won. The President had Morgan, of Alabanra, Gordon, Hill, and Lamar, to help him? while Spen cer has been backed by Conkling, Ed munds, and Howe. CRIMES AM) CASUALTIES. A little girl at Conshohooken, Pa., has died from the scratch of a cat. Aldermen Markley and Nalle fought with knives in the Common Council ohamber in Austin, Texas, over a pending measure, and Mark ley was killed. Becky Baldwin, of Virginia, after throwing her pocket-book In the fire, assaulted and killed with an axe, the two tramps who demanded it, but re ceived In the struggle her own death wound. Near Pittston, Pa., recently thirty persons were Beverly poisoned by the milk of a cow, which upon examina tion proved to have been bitten by a rattlesnake. Gus. Harris, a colored deputy U. S. Marshal at Edgfield, S. C, was mur dered last week by a "conciliated" bulldoser. Edward Rose, formerly of Salem, Ohio, was drowned in a lake near Cheyenne, W. T. on the 20th Inst. At Omaha last Saturday criminals were sentenced as follows: Young Brennan, tho boy whonatched a tray of rings from Hubermann's jowelry store, and who pleaded guilty to grand larceny, was sentenced to two years at bard labor in the penitentiary. Kelley, who picked a man's pocket of over $100 at the Union Pacific depot, and who pleaded guilty, received a sentence of three years. Elijah Hall, who pleaded guilty to the stabbing of William Norton, received one j'ear. CharleB Stanley, one of the burglars who robbed Goldsmith's clothing Btore, got six years, while his pals, Lee Howard and Charles Wlsner, each received five years. H. J. Redemeyer, of St. Louis, shot and killed on the 20th, a man named F. H. Voss. The papers say it was a cold blooded murder. Hugh Cooper, an old man, and for many years an employe of the Chi cago post office, has been detected in robbing letters aud arrested. At Harrlsburg, Pa., on tho 20th, two tramps entered tbe house of three old men brothers named Hawn, and after severely beating the old meu, robbed them of $4,000 in bonds. At Mltchellviile, Tenn., on the 20th, Pearson and Saddler, arrested on oharge of rape, were taken by a mob and hanged. The victims were negroes of course. We never hear of white men being mobbed in tbe south for committing rape on negro women. That would bo Interfering with a' time honored and most cherished oustom of the ohivalry. A farmer named Ohms, of Green county, 111., was brutally murdered on tbe 20th Inst., by parties unknown. James Arnold, a commercial travel er, of Chicago, was recently robbed upon tbe highway near Nevada, O. He lost $160, and a fine watch.

Price, a brake man on the Hannibal and St. Joe railroad, was found in Bear Creek near Quinoy, on the 21st. Chas. McGill suicided by cutting his throat at Galesville, Wis., on the 21st. Whisky was the cause. At Geneva, 111., on the 21st, Miss Nellie Wilson, daughter of Judge I. G. Wilson, killed herself by sending two pistol balls Into her temple. Poor health and depressed spirits on ac count of losing her mother, who died recently, Is the supposed cause of the suicide. LastFriday Jeremiah Connolly and Geo. Sherry were hanged In Chicago for the murder of Hugh McConville the 19th of last January. Our read era will remember that MoConville was trying to protect a youug girl from the brutal assaults of these two young drunken ruffians when they struck him dead with a knife. If ev er hanging was right it was In this case. LastFriday John Burns was hang ed at Paris, 111., for the murder of Elijah Birdwell last Oct. ; Perry Bow sher was hanged at Chlllicothe, O., for the murder of a toll gate keeper : Jacob Level, colored, was hanged at Little Rook, and Edward Castley alias Dorsey, was hanged at Frederick, Md., for the murder of Solomon Cast ley. The President commuted tho sen tence of four men who were sentenced to be hanged at Ft. Smith, Ark., Fri day of last week. A boy uamed Gemtnil, 15 years of age, was kicked todeath by an Indian pony at Yankton, lust week. ITEMS OP INTEREST. Ten Texas stock-raisers own one million twonty-three thousand head of cattle.

In seeking for a body which had been stolen from a Cincinnati ceme tery, at the Ann" Arbor Medical Col lege, a vat was found oontalaiog forty dead bodies of both sexes, and of all ages aud nationalities. Tbe Burlington Hawkeye proposes U. S. Grant and J. F. Wilson for 18S0, and says : "That is a ticket that rep resents genuine Republicanism, gen uine mauhood, genuine pluck, and genuine everything. There is no sham about it." Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour is in correspondence with the War Depart ment in relation to the adoption of cheese as one of the rations in the ar my. General Fremont is represented as being well pleased with his appoint ment as Governor of Arizona. He wants to commence life anew, and thinks Arizona a good field, Mrs. Fremontlssald to share her husband's feelings on this point. A cow at tho Chicago 6tock yards that reoeutly lost her calf, has adopt ed a young colt, and the arrangement Is said to be satisfactory to both colt and cow. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Eleotious decided adversely upon the joint resolution proposing a con stitutional amendment to provide for woman suffrage. Governor Bradley, of Nevada, was recently asked whether he would run for another election, and ho replied: "Wal.you bet, my son ; I'm a goin' to stand In with the boyB agin. Ef they want mo, and I think they does, I'll stand them a racket." At Finohville, Ivy., there la the model hog-house of the oouutry. It is built of stone, with a hanging roof, and a clear sfream flows through the building, There are twenty thousand dollars' worth of hogs In it. The Mobile, Ala., Register of tbe 6th Inst, says: "Any person knowing of the whereabouts of the children of General Earl Van Dorn, will do au act of kindness by communicating with General Joseph Wheeler, at Court laud, Lawrence county, Ala. It may betbe means of greatly benefitting the children." A Kansas letter says the wheat har vest has begun, a month ahead of the usual time, and the prospect is that not enough men can be obtained to harvest the vast crop. It is in splen did condition, notwithstanding the re ported frost, and the yield transcends all precedent. An aged colored man recently car ried $1,000 in gold and silver to the Farmers' Bank of Delaware, at Washington, Del., it being the hoard ings sinoe he was a young man. He said he bad kept it in an old chim ney, and eome of the silver being blaok and smoked corroborated his story. The Georgia Bourbons are peculiar ly unfortunate. They have been fir ing hot shot at Alexander H. Steph ens because he opposed the Potter in vestigation, and have declared their intention to vote against him for Con gress, and now comes the Bourbon leader, Robert Toombs, who soya he is with Stephens to the last extremi ty, aud will vote for him whether he runs as an independent or not. " Hellish riot." We have an abiding faith in tbe vigor and tenacity of the gentle sav age of Louisiana. Mississippi. South Carolina, and other Southern States have spurts of deviltry, but for steady work and pe rennial cussedness commend us to Louisiana. Sometime ago the Inter Ocean re marked that there might be quite a lull in negro killing down South, as there really seemed no excuse for the sport. No election was pending, the blacks were absolutely In the power of thebulldozers,and we could see no reason for any wholesale butcheries. Now and then a chivalrous bandit, a little merry from too free indulgence in his cups, might shoot a nigger, but we couldn't see any dangerof an old fashioned barbecue until thefall cam paign opened. But the Louisiana gentleman Is an impatient biped. Like cur own sportsmen, who get fractious ere the game law expires, he dislikes to wait till the season fairly opens. So the spirits of the Southern bull dozers nave begun to overflow before the proper season has fairly setln, and the other day we published an account of five murders In a batch at Polnte Coupee. The affair didn't amount to much, but it was an Indication' that the Kukiux are ready and will bo pre pared to work with their accustomed dexterity when the season shall fair ly begin. Very few particulars were given of the Pointe Coupee tragedy, and of course the occurrence wasn't worth much notice on the part of the South ern'press; but yesterday we reoeived from one of the sportsmen en gaged a newspaper, the Marks ville Bulletin, which gives a brief ao couut of the affair. The Bulletin heads the account "A Hellish Plot," auu wnen we saw mat ueau we con gratulated ourselves that the local newspapers had the courage to de nounce the murders. But wo were mistaken. The "hellish plot" refer red to the men who were killed, and not to tho party that did the killing. Says the Bulletin: "It appears that a squad of negroes determined to murder a number of leading citizens of that parish. Fortunately their fiendish plot was discovered in time to prevent its consummation. The ringleaders were arrested, tried by the authorities, sent to jail to await furth er disclosures, but the citizens rose en masse and hung five of the men on Weduesday la3t, near the Racourci. We reserve further comment upon this hellish plot until we learn more defi nite and positive particulars."' We have heard something of such "hellish plots" before. There Is al ways a "hellish plot" somewhere when it is desired to put trouble some colored men out of the way iu the South. It is not necessary to give the particulars or the proof in such a case. Arrest the victims, charge them with the plot, aud leave the rest to the gentle bulldozer, who walketh at mid night and gets iu his work effeoiuul ly. But tho thoughtful soul, who Bends the inter Ocean a oopy of the Bulletin, is kind enough to expose the true in wardness of the massaore, and to show that tho provident aud patriotic Dem ocrats of Pointe Coupee believe in working betimes, and getting a foun dation early if they would win in the coming oampaigu. He writes on tho margin of the newspaper sent, as fol lows : Firtt blood for the Democrats in the campaign. We luill overcome the twelve hundred negro majority in Poin te Coupee in spile of hell. We assure our bulldozing frieud that we have uota doubt of it. Weshould not huvo doubted it even without his assurance. We knew the facilities for "overcoming" this majority, and we had confidence in ihe spirit und determination of him and his compa triots. Nothing surprises us except the early beginning of the work, aud this need not when we reflect upon the importance of timely examples In preventing organization among the opposition. The Bulletin, by tho way, in an editorial descanting upon the political outlook, tells theRepublicans that "if they knew the utter hopeless ness of their ohanceB they would be more quiet, save time, and weary themselves no more." And it kind ly adds: "It is. however, only just to tell them that Democrats will fill ihe offices this year." Of course this is true. There Is nothing to hinder. Nicholls controls the State militia; all the offices of jus tice are suojeot to uts beck and nod; the General Government says it has nothing to do with the matter, and It will not take three months to run off and kill enough Republicans to give the dulldozersa fine working majority- Ourcorrespondent need not say they will overcome this mujorlty In "spite of hell." He need fear no opposition in that quarter. The powers of dark ness are with him ; but he should say they will do it in spite of honor, in spite of law, iu spite of the Constitu tion, in spite of this great natictn," which stands by, with folded hands, and sees such assaults upon liberty perpetrated without a gesture of dis sent or disapproval. Inter Ocean. A Tribute to Grant. Senator Wbyte, of Maryland, a Democrat, paid a high tribute to Gen eral Grantin the Senate theotherday. The discussion was on tbe river and harbor bill, and he said "Now, I ad mire Ulysses S. Grant. There was a heap of Roman in that man which in spired the admiration of every Amer ican. He was great in the battle field; he was great in the White House, and that character whioh li kened him to Andrew Jackson won up on the hearts of the American peo ple, and he never did a braver act than that when In the summer of 1870 he took his sword and stuck it in tbe river and harbor bill, and told his of ficer up there at the War Department "thus far shalt thou go in the expen diture of the publio money, and no further." While Colonel A. H. Fulkerson, of Rose Hill, was riding over his farm, this, morning, he was attacked by about eighty or 100 swallows. The little birds, with greatchatterlng, sur rounded him and pecked at his cloth ing. He was at first amused, but af ter a short while they began Btlcking their beaks in his face and neck, and ho barely escaped with his life. It Is feared that he will lose the sight of both eyes, and his nose was so muti lated that in all probability it will have to be amputated. Richmond In quirer NEBRASKA NIBBLING S. Harvest of wheat and rye is now going on vigorously in Southern Ne braska. Syracuse Journal: The crop prospect in this State Is as good as one could desire. Reports from the various counties are very encouraging. John B. Finch reports that be has enrolled 44,000 in the Red Ribbon army of Nebraska. A farmer of Merrick oounty had 13 head of cattle killed by lightning during one storm. This is not very encouraging to stock raisers west. The State treasury is flush. On the 3d inst. it had $375,436 on hand. A man named Josiah Slow, of Thayer county has been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for com mitting a rape. Slow has a wife and two children. The population of the State, ac cording to the assessors reports of cen sus taken last March, is 314,174. Num ber of cattle, 434,015. Number of sheep 99,266. Hogs 497,059. The jewelry store of A. H. John son, Syracuse, Otoe county, was rob bed on the night of the 15th, aud about $600 worth of goods taken. The thieves have not been detected. A few days ago Marshal Butler, of Omaha, shot and killed a negro named Calvin Sommers who resisted arrest by attacking the marshal with a knife. A coroner's jury justified the killing. A steamboat makes regular trips from St. Louis to Arago, Richardson county, and is said to be a blessing to the people. Falls City Journal: The scare among our farmers, on account of rust on tho wheat, is about over. Both winter and spring wheat are thriving finely and promise a rich harvest, while the Indications for corn, pota toeaand fruit are that the crop will be Bimply wonderful. Auojher saloon was opened In Falls City last week M. Gehlingsa loonist. The appropriation In the river and harbor bill for Nebraska City is $40,000. Kearney Press: L. M. Wilson of Wilsouville has a half breed calf which Is a cross between a buffalo cow and a native bull. Kearney Press; The B. & M. railroad in Nebraska has sold since January 1st 196,091 acres of land at au average of $5.34 ; the total amount being $1,048,700.32. This is nearly double the amount of land sold by any other land grant road in the Uni ted States in the same time. By the sigu painted upon their Kearney of fice it will be seen that their agents sell land upon ten years time with only three per cent Interest. Publication of the Daily Kear ney Press has been suspended or, as the editor puts it "laid up for re pairs." We are sorry tho dully was a favorite of ours. Sidney Telegraph: Tho Tele graph names A. S. Paddock as his own successor In the United States Senate. The next Senatorial cam paign Is still nearly two years distant, but it is well for the merits of the can didates to bo thoroughly discussed and time is required for this. Mr. Paddock has held his office with cred it to himself, and entire satisfaction to the people of Nebraska. He has been a representative of State, not a contracted personal constituency. York Tribune: "What will the harvest be" is a question usually asked now-a-days. "No man can fortell the future," but if "all signs do not fall," Nebraska will "yield an abundant harvest." Wheat Is grow ing rapidly and has a good healthy color. Oats are rank, black and strong. Rye never was better and is nearly ready for tho reaper. Corn has rather too much rain, but is coming out finely for tho chance it has had, and will give the husbandman a good average yield. State Journal; John Fitzgerald advertises for 500 teams to work on the Republican Valley Railroad, be tween Hastings and Red Cloud. Mr. Fitzgerald is pushing this work with his usual energy, and before many weeks will greet the Republlouu with the whistle of the locomotive. Red Cloud Neb. will soon havo a railroad. Two young men Charles Clark and Frank Courtney were recently arrested near Sterling forrobblng Mr. Champion's store at Firth. State Journal: The shady groves, the springs, the ponds, and the ro mantio retreat in aud about Mil ford on the Blue, are to be visited by a number of our leading citizens and their families for a sojourn of a week or bo, Bometime during tho coming month. Beatrice Express : Last year Gage county increased in population near 1,000, and our citizens are confi dent that the increase of the present year will te more than double that number. Mr. D, M. Blaok, near Fairmont, was killed by lightning Weduesday of last week while at work in a field. Madison Review: The Omaha Bee is favoring the nomination of Hon. Lorenzo Crounse for congress man. If Crounse allows bucIi men as as Rosewater to lead his campaign he will find that all his friends from the western portion of tho State will give him the cold shoulder. As it is un disputed that tho Bee is not Indorsed by the Republicans in the central and western portious of the State. The lesson taught at the Fremont con ven tlon surely ought to convince any rational man of that fact. A ball of pop-corn lies in the Brit ish Museum, in London, with a label on it reading as follows: "An article of food iu America, greatly liked by the negroes iu tho Southern United States." The Beatrice Courier seems to feel rather jubilant over the fact that but few papers in the State are advocating the re-election of Hon. Frank Welch for Congress. Mr. Welcbuls making a fair record in Congress, aud be knows "and everybody knows that it ia not necessarv to make much stir be forehand. The Omaha Bee and its followers, such as the Beatrice Couri er, Grand Island Independent, and a few other papers of that stripe, would oppose him, no matter how much good work he had done, while the Omaha Republican, State Journal, Brownville Advertiser, Seward Report er, Tecumseh Chieftain, and the re spectable journals of the State pro pose to give Welch a fair chance.
