At a rec&nt rabbit bunt nt Janes
ville, Wi9. 491 scores were made, near
ly air rabbits.
Cbon Yow was hanged at Bridge
port California, on the 6th., for the
murder of Ah Pow.
The total vote of Illinois at the late
election was 445.500. The Republican
candidate for State Trersurer received
36,573 majority. The total vote of the
nationals was 66,589.
A batch of forty-four Indian agents
were indicted by a Yankton grand ju
ry last week, as timber thieves and
Indian robbers. If the Indian thieves
are. found guilty, it wouldn't be far
out of the way to turn them over to
the 'Indians they have wronged, for
punishment.

The most contemptible, and ill man
nered little jackass in Congress, is
Sam Cox, elected from one of the low
est districts of New York city. Heis
worthy of notice only on account of
his low-bred slang, learned among his
ruffian constituency and the bawdy
houses of his district.
The ChicagoJ excursionists to the
City of Mexico, are to leave Chicago
on January 4th. The Mexican Gov
ernmeuthas appropriated $50,000 for
the entertainment of their American
guests. This disposition on the part
of the Mexican neighbors to courtjand
secure abiding friendship with the
United States, augurs well much
better than guerrilla fighting on the
Rio Grande.
It is the right of every citizen, pos
sessing the qualifications prescribed
by law, to cast one untimidated ballot,
and to have his ballot honestly count
ed. President Hayes.
That is the way honest people un
derstand it; but the Wade Hampton
Deajocracy refusing to accord 6uch
rights, steal from the ballot box the
"unintimidated ballot,'' and substi
tute therefore a thousand tissue tick
ets cast by one dirty bulldozer.
We have heard it rumored within
ths past few weeks that theTJ.P. rail
road company has purchased the A.
& N. railroad ; and the following
item from the Tecumseh Chieftain is
somewhat confirmatory :
An extra went up on the A. & US'.
Wednesday, containing a U. P. pass
enger coach. We rather suspect the
TJ. P. officials were inspecting the
line for the purpose of purchasing it,
if they have not already done so.
If the U. P. henceforth coutrolls
the A. & X. it is not probable that the
B. & M. will finish their road from
here to either Falls City or Salem ;
but will strike out fromNemaha in a
south west direction, via. Pawnee Ci
ty. The war between the two great
corporations is too sanguinary for
them to run on the same track, even
a short distance.
Upon opening the President's mes-
sage, the first thing hunted up and
read was that part bearing upon the
Southern policy. The President had
given the South all it demanded, had
removed every cause of even a pre
text for complaint, had recognized
Nicholls and Hampton as Governors,
when ho could not have believed they
had received majorities over their
competitors, all for the sake of harmo
ny, reconciliation, and peace between
tho races, the parties, and the remov
al of sectional bitterness existing be
tween the North and South. He
went as far as any President wou Id or
could go toward tearingidown party
lines and inducing the South to con
. duct itself toward the Government as
law abiding citizens, This was called
the President's Southern polioy ; thus
far the policy had been defined by his
various acts. But the part yet unde
fined, except aB indicated in messages,
the sequel, what shall the end of this
policy be? was what the people were
anxious to know about. They knew
the generosity of the President had
been insulted; that his confidence
had been betrayed ; that bis concilia
tory acts had been taken advantage of
to perpetrate the most criminal viola
tions of federal laws and damnable
outrages on the rightB of citizens ;
that people had been murdered for
opinion's sake, that the rights of the
' elective franohise had been denied to
many, whilst others who were per
mitted to vote had their ballots stolen
and others substituted, thus prevent
ing a free and fair expression of the
will of the majority at the ballot box.
The anxiety of the Republican reader
is pleasantly relieved in reading the
message. The fear that he would be
blind to the great crime of the South,
and ignore it was happily swept away;
and his renewed promises to punish
the oriminals and to protect, S far as
he lawfully can, the rights of citizens
give univereal satisfaction. Wo may
have not indorsed the Southern polioy
in the beginning, but we may now in
dorse it's consistency if carried out
according to promises made in all his
messages. This policy is the best oue
we have, and every patriot Bhould in
deavor to make the best of it. In the
efforts of the Administration to to car
ry out the policy, as we see it outlined,
it should have the strong and unwav
ering support of every good citizen.
All should ceaso their crimnations of
the President regarding his Southern
polioy, and give him thoir moral sup
port in carrying out his idea and in-
tent to the best ana most successrui
consummation posible. What good
is there in continuing to harp upon
what might have been, or upon sup
posed better polioy ? It is of no avail
now. We may believe that Packard
was fairly elected Governor Louis,
iana and Chamberlain-of. South Car
olina, and ever strongly deny the pos
sibilityof a contingency which would
justify the setting aside-the will of a
..r:i. .ni whan seasonable, and
pertinent, defend this chief corner '
stone of a Republican government;
yet, we are not estopped from believ
ing the President's intentions were
good, nor from holding up his hands
now in bis efforts to punish subvert
ed of the constitution and general
laws of the country. If the President's
course with the South shall prove to
bo the Inauguration of a firm policy
that will ultimately uutrammel the
ballot down there, it will be hailed
as far preferable to the policy of pro
tecting voters and keeping bulldozers
and kuklux iu subjection by tho pow
er of the U. S. army, which should be
resorted to only after the Arm applica
tion of a policy administered through
the judiciary lias failed.
Cogce flow.
In the earlier days of Nebraska the
aboriginal legislators and primitive
politicians of these plaiuB used the
Indian greeting,"CoaEEHow! ! i.e.
"Friend how are you ?"
But now friend How of Nemaha
has usurped the place of the pure and
simple "How?" of the aborginies,
and the evidences of advancing Chris
tianity and civilization are found in
the fact that "Crurch" comes in
where formally, the ground was occu
pied by the savage "Cogee." Friend
How. of Nemaha hereafter to be
pronounced Nema-Aow is stupend
ous instatesmanship and prodigious in
patriotism. He proposes infinite re
forms for Nebraska, and hitched up
tandem .with our own valiant War
horse, on the oareering chariot of re
formation ; we rather think the com
monwealth will be pulled through to a
safe, solid and substantial standing.
It is already promulgated, by "the
Granger," that Mr. Howe will lead off
with a slashing bill for on act to regu
late rate3 of freight and passenger
tariffs on railroads. This will come
with exceeding grace from Howe ; he
is so fully identified with farming
and farmers and so at variance with
the Union Paoific and B. & M. Rail
road interests that every body will
know be is strictly prime in the hon
esty of intention with whioh he pro
poses such a measure. Then looking
at the regulatory experience of Iowa
and Wisconsin, regarding rauroaas,
and this most stateBtnanist statesman
certainly can observe the benefits re

That Invention of the burly brain
of Statesman Gwyer called, "the in
cubus of inertia." will secure a long
job, here, in Nebraska, whenever
Statesman Howe and other Itinera
ting statesmen take charge of the
property of corporate capital and lim
it Ifn earnings by enactments.
U. P. Howe does not mean, howev
er, up Howe and nt them ; hut it may
mean "you pretend," possibly. How
is that?
The above appears in the Nebraska
City Press, as an editorial ; but there
is nothine JYess-like obout it, but the
grammatical errors some of which we
correct. For the brain that evolved
that piece of refined irony we guess
we would have to look outside the
sanotum of the Press. We doubt if
the Press ever had sen?e enough to so
comprehend the real animus of our
"Nema-Howe." or if it had, it has
hitherto lacked the honesty to say so.
lam unwilling to forego a renewed
appeal to the legislatures, the courts,
the executive authorities, and tho
people of the States where these
wrongs have been perpetrated, to give
tneir assistance towarn Dnugiug w

repetition of the orimes. President's
Message.
They having lied to the Preaident.and
abused his confidence, showing that
tbey cannot be trusted, he will ceaso
to appeal to them to act as good and
law-abiding people, but will at once
apply the penalty of violated laws.
Then the President further says, re
garding the outrages on the federal
election laws :
No means within my power will be
spared to obtain a full and fair Inves
tigation of the alleged crimes, and to
secure the oouviction and just punish
ment of the guilty.
The law abiding people everywhere
will indorse President Hayes and give
him their support in his efforts to
punish the criminals and to protect
the rights of citizens and the purity
of the ballot box. For as he says in
another paragraph :
The material progress and wellfare
of the States depend on the protection
afforded to their citizens. There can
be no peace without such protection,
no prosperity without peace, and the
whole country is deeply interested in
the growth and prosperity of all its
parte.
It is to be observed that the princi
pal appropriation made for the De
partment of Justice at the last session
contained the following clause : "And
for defraying the expenses which
may be incurred in the enforcement
of tho act approved February 28, 1871,
entitled 'An act to amend an aot ap
proved May 30, 1870, eutitied An aot
to enforce the rights of citizens of tho
United States to vote in the several
States of the Union, and for other
purposes,1 or any acts amemdatory
thereof or suplementary thereto.'"
It Is the opinion of the Attorney
General that the expenses of these
proceedings will largely exceed the
amount which was thus provided,
and I rely confidently upon Congress
to make adequate appropriations to
enable the Executive Department to
enforce the laws. President1 s Mess
age. Will this Congress assist the Presi
dent in his good intentions, by inves
tigating alleged violations of the elec
tion laws, and exposing them ; or
will Congress hinder the President
by refusing necessary oppropriations?
Will this Congress wink at those
orimes and throw obstacles in the
way of exposing them because they
were committed in the interest of the
Domocratio party ? We will see.

The foregoing statement shows the
condition of the different county
funds. The balances reported on
hand at the settlement have been
principally paid out.
There is now upon the register
warrants presented and registered for
payment upon the different county
funds amounting to $27,650.37. This
constitutes the principal part of the
outstanding warrants. This amount
of orders outstanding is much larger
than usual, from the fact that the
commissioners made au additional
levy of five milla for building bridges;
and upon thatlevj they have already
drawn $9,000.00, and also about $8,-
000.00 drawn on the general fund,
making a total of about $17,000.00
ThiB it will be remembered is on a
levy that Is not due until January 1st,
1879, and but little of it is paid before
May 1st, 1879. So that a larger por
tion of these warrants registered for
payment are on the present year's
levy.

It appears from the above table that
there is due and uncollected in round
number, $110,000.00. A large portion
of this is on town lots and traots of
land along the river; in many cases
the property is not now worth the
tax. From the above amount would
have to be deduoted a considerable
amount of worthless personal prop
erty tax, erroneous assessments, tax
remitted by county commissioners,
tax on BQhool lands whioh the legisla
ture by an aot, passed at the last ses
sion, wiped out at least the most of it.
But with all these deductions, we
have sufi-cient assets to fully pay our
outstanding warrants. Delinquent
tax draws one per cent, per month in
terest, and warrants ten per oent. per
anuuni, bo the advantage is in favor
of the county in interest.
Our railroad indebtedness is as fol
lows: Bonds issued by the county draw
ing eight per cent., $40,000.00. Last
installment due in 1802.

The bonds of Nemaha City and As
pinwall precincts draw ten per cent,
and the others eight per cent. These
bonds mature in twenty years from
date of issue, interest payable annual
ly, and one-tenth of the principal
each year after the first ten years.
The county commissiouers made no
levy to pay the Interest on the
Brownville, Nemaha City and As
pinwall bonds for tho ensuing year.
It is to be hoped that all persons
knowing themselves delinquent in
tax will come forward and pay
promptly, and thus enable the county
to meet her obligations.

longs to the local merchants. We
don't know exactly how tbey do It,

THE IXTER OCEAN.
Weekly, $1.15 ; Semi-Weekly, $2.50;
-UU1JJ,
$10.00.
The Inter Ocean, as a political jour
nal, stands confessedly at the head of
the Republican press of the West, and
as a reliable newspaper has a reputa
tion second to none. While it has
never wavered in the support of par
ty principles, has never failed to do
its full duty in critical times, and has
never hesitated to strike hard blows
In defense of the Republican cause, it
has never ceased to be a good news
paper, independent of all political and
party considerations.
With the recorl of seven years' con
scientious work and efficient service
behind it as a certificate of character.
The Inter Ocean enters upon the work
of a new year; enters upon the work
of a year the most important, per
haps, in its history, and the most mo
mentous In the history of the Repub
lican party. Lines are already form
ing for the great battle of 1SS0, and
the country has never felt the need of
staunch and able supporters of princi
ple for the sake of principle as it will
in the coming year. It has been the
good fortune of the Inter Ocean to
lead in the formation of public opin
ion, and to have a tremendous follow
ing. It has maintained this position
as leader because of its unquestioned
loyalty to the fundamental principles
of the party, its boldness in defending
them, and its fairness in discussing
great political questions. As the In
ter Ocean has aoundedtbe key-note of
the contests in past years, Republi
cans will look to it as a faithful guide
and leader in the ooming year. And
they will not bo disappointed. The
paper will stand, a3 it always has
stood, the organ of no faction or
clique, battling in the front rank for
the principles that have made the
country what It is.
The Inter Ocean expeots to reoeive
from enemies and opponents hard
blows, and to return them with inter
est. From Republicans and friends it
expeots only suoh consideration and
fairness as any political journal may
claim at the bands of those interested
in the success of the the party and in
the triumph of party principles. The
issues are sharply defiued. On the
one side is the solid South aided by
the Demooratlo party ; on the other
the Republican party. Naturally at
such a time Republicans will turn to
a paper able, aggressive, and of un
questioned loyalty. All that we ask
is that they judge the Inter Ocean by
its own utterances, and not by what
Democratic organs and envious rivals
say of it.
Outside of party considerations Re
publicans will choose the best news
paper. And iu this particular the In
ter Ocean has no superiors. It is in
every sense of the word a national
newspaper, presenting.iiomeand for
eign news in attractive shape, and ac
companying it with intelligent com
ment. It will be as enterprising as any of
its contemporaries, more accurate and
more discriminating. For two jeara
its cable dispatches have been fuller
and of higher.cbaracter than those of
any other Western journal ; its Wash
ington and foreign correspondence
more readable, covering more topics
of special and general interest, and
its home correspondence more varied
and more complete. All these depart
ments will be continued, with such
improvements added as experience
may suggest and increased facilities
for collecting news allow.
Independent of politico and news,
men want a symmetrical, interesting,
and wholesome journal for the family
and the home. They will fiud such
a paper in the Inter Ocean, which de
votes more attention than any other
political newspaper to departments
prepared and conducted with the
wants of home and family in view.
This applies to Agricultural, Domes
tic, Educational, Scientific, and Social
matters.
The Curiosity Shop, covering an
swers to all sorts of political, scientific
and general questions, will reoeive
more attention, even, than in past
years, and will beaoomplete encyclo
pedia of information not accessible
outside the great reference libraries of
large cities. In this department the
Inter Ocean has been without a rival
and, realizing the importance of the
department, the publishers have made
arrangements not only to maintain its
high character, but to make it auswer
more completely tho demands of sub
scribers. The Home Department has with
in the past year assumed a new char
acter and a new importance. It is the
outgrowth of the Inter Ocean polioy
of fostering home interests, and, while
it is unique in its freshness and its
plan, it is unequaledin itB interests
and in the amount of suggestive and
praotical information on Home top
ics. The Agricultural Department
will be in charge of one of the most
experienced agricultural editors of the
West, and will give each week timely
hints, suggestions, and discussions of
praotical interests.
The Veterinary Department
has become a standard uuthority
among horsemen, and Is republished
from week to week in many of the
Farm aud Stock Journals of the coun
try. All questions of subscribers as
to diseases and treatment of stock are
answered without charge by a distin
guished and experienced specialist.
This department will be maintained
at its present high standard.
The Woman's Kingdom, devoted
to woman's interest and work, will be
continued in the generous and conser
vative spirit that has made it so popu
lar. The Commercial Department
has had a reputation for reliability
and completeness all Its own. It will
remain in charge of the same editor,
and will be made up with the wants
of the readers in view.
In Fiction the Inter Ocean will pre

thor, covering ground-in the West not
touched upon, hitherto by writers of
fiotiou, and replete with incident and

adventure. In short stories, sketch

the Inter Ocean will pander to no low
taste, but will give the best.
In thesfr times of depression and
scarcity of money, people will turn
to the paper that is the cheapest. To
meet this demand the the price of
the Inter Ocean has been reduced to
$1.15 for Tho Weekly, $2.50 for The
Semi-Weekly, and $10 for The Daily.
In short the Inter Ocean will be a bet
ter paper than ever before, and will
be furnished for less money.

Miss Matilda Hurdman, in the
Denver Mirror gives her views of wo
man suffrage in Wyoming, after spe
cial investigation and observation by
herself. She fiuds that after ten years
trial the system has not been detri
mental to women, society or any in
terest, but has had an entirely oppo
site effect. Miss Hurdman was in
Cheyenne on election day, and thus
dpeaks of the polling places :
In the town are two polling places.
At one of these, a nicely furnished
room in the Inter Ocean Hotel, the
most of the womon vote, and some
gentlemen who have accompanied
their wives and sisters, with others
who, on account of the order, quiet
and neatness that prevails, doubtless
prefer to cast their votes here.
In this room, the floor of which is
covered with Brubsels carpet, sat the
judges and clerks of election three
ladies and two gentlemen. The
bright intelligent, and pleasant faces
of the ladies, and the dignified and
pleasing manners of the gentlemen,
gave a home-like appearance that was
very ogreeable, and one could not fail
to ask why objections should be made
to women participating in a matter of
so much importance as the govern
ment of their country.
Women voters were coming and go
ing during all hours. Manjr came in
their own carriages, some in carriages
sent by political parties, but many
walked, preferring this, rather than
to place themselves under the appear
ance of being influenced by riding in
a carriage provided by any party
though men do not scruple to ride
when thev have the opportunity.
The ladies broughttheir ballots with
them. They knew before they came
for whom thev were going to vote
Having the tickets before hand they
knew exactly whose name to scratch
and some at least, did not vote the
straight ticket. The ladies do not for
get a man's political record. His mor
al character has much to do in gaining
or losing their votes.
There was no electioneering at the
vo'ting place ; not a word wa3 spoken,
occasionally a gentleman In the crowd
that stood on theside walk would bow
to a lady acquaintance, but not one
word did we hear during the time we
remained.
The dispatch with which they voted
was a marvel.
The average time for a lady to walk
from her carriage across the sidewalk,
depo3ither ballot and seat herself In
hercarrage again, was twenty-eight
seconds. The longest time taken by
any one lady, while we noticed them.
was forty-five seconds ; the shortest,
eighteen seconds.
The verdictof every honest mind as
to the character of the majority of
these women would undoubtedly be,
"respectable, good women."
We were told that it was quite rare
for a woman's vote to be challenged
though men were there all. day for
that purpose.
