Another good Icem-of news ie that

yet there is no opposition developed
against him. Hurrah for Conkling

Lieutenant Governor Hull of Flor

makes direct charges of malfeasance

be thoroughly investigated.
An amendment to the pension law
"ha3 passed Congress and is now a Iawr
giving baok pay to ail claimants from
the date of the disability, at the rate
of the amount first received. This
will be a great blessing to many a
poor soldier and soldier's widow.
The Infer Ocean.RB.yB the friends of
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, ought
to. hire the Chicago Tribune and
Times to come out for his two oppo
nents, Keys and Carpenter, as they
never yet failed in burying their
candidate, with a very brief, funeral.
The Republicans of Illinois will
elect Logan to the Senate, who fought
on the Union side; nndit about the
came time the democracy of Missouri
elects Vest, who at that time was in
the confederate Congress.- A fair il
lustration of the difference between
Republicanism and modern Demoo-
racy.
Mrs. Van Pelt, at the meeting of the
Grand Lodge last week, was elected
for the third terra Worthy Grand
Chief Templar of Nebraska; and F.
G. Ke8ns, of Kearney, for the sixth
time was elected W. G. Secretary.
During the past year fifty new lodges
were instituted", making about 130
now In the State, with a membership
of about 5.000-.
In a recent Graeco-Roman wrest
ling match, in Detroit, between J. H.
McLaughlin amf the French champi
on, Andre Cristol, for $500 aside, Mc
Laughlin crushed the Frenohman to
the floor, breaking his collar bone.
This was done the first fall, and Cris
tol being so hurt that he could not re
new the contest, Mo. was declared the
winner of the money.
It seems from a recently-published
blue book on drunkenness In Scotland
that permission granted some years
back to grocers to sell liquors has been
attended with very bad effects so far
as women are concerned. Whiskey
Is frequently put down in the bill
which their husbands pay, under oth
er heads. In 1SG0 120 women were ar
rested in Kilmarnock for drunken
ness ; in 1876 no fewer than 270.
Gen. Reno's conduct at the time of
the Custer massacre is now being In
vestigated by a military court. From
reading the testimony we do not
think the General showed cowardice.
It was all he could do to save bis com
mand from a like fate. The fatal mis
take made at that battle was made by
General Custer himself, in dividing
hta command, an over estimate of the
prowess of himself and men, and a
lack of knowledge of the strength of
the enemy.
On the 17th inst. the Republicans
of the Illinois legislature nominated
Gen. John A. Logan for United States
pnator, and the- Republicans of ev
ery Stats rejoiced at the good news.
His vote was 80 while Senator Ogiesby
received 26. Now nothing- but the
direst treason in the Republican ranks
can defeat Gen. Logan. The whole
country feel a deep interestinhis elec
tion for if the Senate is to pass for a
season into the hands of the Democ
racy, we must bV9 auch EePub'

The State Grange Patrons-of Hus
bandry met in tblB-city yesterday af
ternoon, and elected officers for the
ensuing year, and transacted the usu
al business of the order. The Grange
is now in a flourishing condition, and
out of debt, Hon. Church Howe, of
Nemaha, was unanimously re-elected
Master, and delivered an able and el
oquent address which will be found
In another column. State Journal.
Brother Geere is so prone to play
toady and sycophant to hair oil and
waxed moustaches, that be will do it
even If he has to stretch the blanket
a little occasionally. The following
extracts from Master Howe's "able
and eloquentaddress," will give some
idea of the "flourishing" condition of
the State Grange :
Although the past is strewn with
the wreok of disappointed hopes, dis
honored obligations, and financial
failures, yet I see ample reasons for
encouragement in the small gather
ing of faithful and tried Patrons be
fore me.
"Small gatherings," you know are
always "ample reasons for encourage
ment." And the Master then goes on
giving further signs of a "flourishing
condition:"
Up to the session of the State
Grange of December, 1874, we had
been sailing before favorable gales of
enthusiasm and apparent prosperity.
Money flowed into our coffers in an
unceasing stream, and the resources
of tbe State Grange were foolishly be
lieved to beexhaustless; ourcred was
good throughout the United States,
and our transactions were enormous.
But at that meeting some slight dis
crepancies In the accouuts of a high
officer were discovered ; a vague rum
or of mismanagement, and dishonest
dealing in the heavy transactions of
the Purchasing Agency, circulated
among the brothers, and a thorough
investigation was ordered. With the
detailed results of this iavestigation
you are familiar, and it is only neces
sary to say that from our dream of
prosperity we awoke to the sad reali
ty that we were hopelessly bankrupt
that we had been betrayed by those
we had trusted most. When the-mag-nltude
of our misfortunes became
known, the selfish and faint-hearted
deserted our ranks, as rats desert a
sinking ship.
Hopeless bankruptcy, and the big
and little, male and female Grangers
skedaddling like rats, and the Grange
sinking like a rotten old ship, is truly
a "flourishing" feature. A
It is true that we have not built up
a heave trade in our purchasing de
partment, but it is also true that we
have entered Into no entangling rela
tions with mercantile houses, nor in
curred any indebtednessto be paid by
our successors in office. With the ex
ception of one claim of about $125, all
the old Purchasing Agency debts are
wiped out, and there is nothing in the
way now to prevent the reorganiza
tion of our trade agency, If it Ib
thought advisable.
The Grange so far as business Is
concerned, is doing nothi-ng owes
on y $125 on the old score how muoh
on the new is not stated and the
"trade agency' may be reoognized
"if it is thought advisable." But the
Master, it is noticeable, Ignores the
responsibility of advising.. Having
been for three consecutive terms State
Master, and it is presumable ought to
have an opinion on "trade agencies,"
has none to give and no recom
mendation to make. He refers to
other States in which "co-operative
trade" is a success, and why not ad
vise it here if ho has faith in this State
Grange, over which he presides, and
which the Journal say b is in a flour
ishing condition ?"
Ah ! The Mastersays they have no
charter :
Careful searoh and inquiry has fail
ed to bring to light our State Charter.
No doubt the National Grange issued
one to us when we were first organized
but nothing has been found of it since
1874.
In view of the fact that we have
never been incorporated, and that
there is an odium attached to us on
account of the old transactions, that
will tend to hinder our growth and
prosperity, it has occurred to me that
it might be well to abandon our pres
ent organization entirely, and with
the unanimous consent of the sub
Granges, ask the National Grange for
a complete re-organization of our
State and sub-Granges.
Now, if the Master had only gone
to editor Geere and learned of the
gloriously "flourishing condition" of
the State Grange, he wouldn't have
made the mistake of advising the
abandonment of "our present organ
ization" because of the "odium at
tached" that will "hinder the growth
and prosperity." The growth and
prosperity of something that is al
ready in a "flourishing condition."
Master Howe's address under the
ciroumstances, to an institution that
is in any condition but a flourishing
one, was as good as could have been ex
pected, but evidently he is tired of the
grange business, and would like to
have stepped out and bad nothing
more to do with it. In this county,
Mr. Howe's own home, where, under
the Master's immediate fostering care
it ought to prosper, if anywhere, the
grange, generally speaking, Is too dead
to skin, and we much doubt if Master
Howe's own local grange has had a
meeting within the last twelve
months.
The Kearney?Press gives a full ac
oount of the trial S. D. Richards, and
amongst other things speaks of the
bearing of the prisoner. The follow
ing are specimens of the low wit of
the hardened young wretch, that he
got off during the trial and while the
jury was deliberating upon the verdiot
that was to hang him ; .
"Got a good square meal to-day, the
nrst I've ttaa since l leit ottio. I'm
so thin now I have to stand up twice
to make ashadow. If they don't feed
me better from now till April my ca
daver won'tbe worth a damn for dis
section, for there won't be any meat
on it."
"A cussed fool baok in Ohla got ar

"Thatd d Scofield says I've got

LINCOLN CORRESPONDENCE.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 18, 1879.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Gov. Nance's reception Was held
last Monday evening at the residence
of Chancellor Fairfield. The attend
ance waB large and greeting cordial.
As usual on such occasions, a very
large number were In attendance
from various parts of the State, who
came purposely to pay respects, both
to Gov. Garber retiring, and to Gov.
Nance the new Executive. Owing to
ill health Mrs. Nance was not pres
ent. " Gov. Garber and wife were in
attendance. Chancellor Fairfield and
wife, to whose hospitality all were in
debted, were unremitting in efforts to
make tho' occasion agreeable and en
tertaining. . A new Capitol Building Bill has
been introduced, providing for a levy
of one mill each for the years 1879
and 1880. The total taxable valuation
of tbo State is $74,389,535.35 This levy
would raise near $149,000, in round
numbers. There will, of course, be
opposition. A general favorable feel
ing, however, exists towards the en
terprise. By taking down the old eye
sore of a building now in existence,
much of the material could be used In
the new.
A Bill has been introduced, and is
under consideration, creating a Fish
Commission Board, and providing for
the introduction of new and bettei
varieties of fish into the waters of Ne
brask. It will be remembered that
some years ago, a fish car, going from
the East, to California, fell through
the Bridge crossing the Elkhorn riv
er. That stream and its tributaries
are now well stocked with valuable
varieties of fish. The enterprise is a
commendable one. It is to be hoped
however, that if a law be passed, it
will not be like most game laws, in
favor of only, and for the exclusive
benefit of Sportsman's Clubs, who
generally think more of a dog and
gun, than of common interests, and
publio convenience.
In the Senate a bill has been intro
duced providing for re-modeling the
State Board of Agriculture. It pro
vides that the Governor appoint fif
teen members at large, and that the
Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Aud
itor and Land Commissioner shall be
ex-officio members, the GovernorPreB
ident. That the Governor shall ap
point a Secretary who shall hold his
office at Omaha. While your corres
pondent makes no pretensions to Ag
ricultural matters, this bill does not
strike him favorable as a practical
measure. The State officers named,
are not likely to be practical agricul
turists. The Governor in the appoint
ment of members would not be aB
likely to give general satisfaction, as
the county agricultural societies, who
under present organization sends
their President, or his proxy, as mem
ber of the Board. While there may
be room for improvement in the old
and existing system, we doubt the
superiority of the proposed plan. The
machinery smells of the old style Im
migration BoardV
Senator Gallagher wants a joint res
olution instructing the Nebraska del
egation in Congress to use its influ
ence in favor of free and unlimited
coinage of the Bilver dollar. He also
wants a committee to count every
dollar and dime in the State Treasury.
A resolution is pending favoring
transfer of Indian Bureau to War De
partment. The case of Lett vs the Nebraska
Railway Company, has been reversed
by the Supreme Court, holding that
he, Lett, oannot recover against the
Railway Company. This virtually de
cides both the Lett and Atkinson ca
ses, it is understood, as against pres
ent defendants.
Chancellor Fairfield and Brooks of
the Omaha Republican are having an
"open letter" tilt on University mat
ters. Brooks has been throwing rocks
at the Chancellor for quite a while.
It is generally thought he will have
to let out the job, or a part of it, be
fore the Chancellor is through with
him.
There will be quite an additional
gathering here next week. The State
Board of Agriculture, State Horticul
tural Society, State Historical Socie
ty, State Stock Breeders Association,
State Sheep and Wool Growers Asso
ciation, and some others, all meet the
same week.
Nemaha county Is represented on
standing committees in the Legisla
ture as follows : Senator Howe is
chairman on railroads, and a member
of each, Accounts and Expenditures,
Agriculture, University, and Enroll
ed and Engrossed Bills. Representa
tive Polock is chairman committee
Enrolling and Engrossing Bills, a
member eaoh, State Penitentiary, Mi
ners and Minerals, and Rules. Lash
is on Finance, Ways and Means and
Internal Improvements, and Johnson
on ecnool iunas ana .ttoaas anu
Bridges.
The Scientific Lecture on Tuesday
evening last by Prof. Winchell of
Michigan, was one of the rarest treats
a Lincoln audience, or any other ever
enjoyed. The Professor is distinguish
ed for his eminent scientific attain
ments, original investigation, and
great eloquenoe. His favorite subjeots
are "World-making" and "World-
decay." Spaoe will not permit review
here.
The State Grange met here on
Tuesday. Hon. Church Howe as
Grand Master presiding. Twenty-five
counties were represented. There
does not seem to be as much Interest
in this organization as hereto'fore.
Mr. Howe was re-eleoted Grand
Master.
The Auditor's Report Ib a valuable
and voluminous document, shows the
appropriation necessary lor tue ex
penses of the Government from the
first day of April 1879 to the 31st day
of March 1881, as estimated, $645,539.
The report also shows unexpended
balances from former appropriations,
a total of $53,793.03.
The Annual Session of the order of
Good' Templars was held here thiB
week. Fifty counties were represent
ed. Reports show a State member
ship of 5,152 and Lodges 130. Mrs.
Yaa Pelt, the Worthy Chief Templar,
has traveled d'ttfing the 3Tear past six
thousand eighfi hundred and eixty
miles. The Grand Lodge called fn a
body, to pay their respects to Gov.
Nance. The reception took place in
Representative Hall. Speeches were
made by Dr. Fisher, Gen. Bowen and
Mr. Finch, to which the Governor
briefly responded. The report that
Finch, the Temperance Lecturer, was
to edit a dally temperance paperhere
during session of Legislature seems to
be unfounded.
The "Third House" is in running
order as usual. Pearman of Otoe
Squatter Governor, and Hastings of
Lancaster Speaker. A list of stand
ing committees has been announced.
Senator Howe is on committees
"Mush Rats and Gopher holes,''
"Prohibition and take what you can
get" and "Political Reform." J. H.
Broady is on "Currency and Stable
Horses."
Bills and resolutions have been in
troduced in the Legislature looking
toward regulating railroad tariffs in
the State. Nothing will be done how
ever, as railroad influence predomi
nates in both branches of the assem
bly. As a "chronioler of events," and
referring again to the political meta
morphosis of the Nemaha delegation,
(they all went Into straight Republi
can caucus) your correspondent de
sires to remind that he has not, here
tofore, -"expressed an opinion." Has
simply giveu ourreut events, as they
occur, without note, or comment.
Now he feels, that In justice to the
delegation, he ought to say he does
not believe one of them "begyed"
their way into Republican caucus, aB
has been uncharitably intimated.
After conversation with the leading
members of the House, I am con
vinced they were all "coaxed" In,
(That's what they call it now.) Howe
came up here first, and was "coaxed
In." When the House members
came up they were also "coaxed in."
The coaxers said : "Come in with us.
It'll make Tom. Majors and them oth
er fellers in Nemaha so d d mad!
We have no one for postmaster In
either the Senate, or House! JAs
Brush and Bagley did not come up
with the delegation, they were at
once telegraphed for.) No suitable
mau for chairman of Senate oommit
tee on railroads, or committee on En
rolling aud Engrossing in the House ;
no one for clerk of a certain commit
tee ; no one for psge. These positions
must be filled, and we want parties
from Nemaha, because that county
gave nearly fifty majority for the Re
publican State ticket, and should be
rewarded! We know you are all Re
publicans! You've only been pul
ling wool over the eyes of verdant
Democrats in Nemaha ! Strategy,
boys ! Strategy. You will see they
were all "coaxed" into the Republi
can caucus! Didn't "beg" in! no
sir! Narry "beg!" "Invited" and
"coaxed" are the new terms used this
session. They are smoother and bet
ter words.
As you are doubtless aware, R:t
ards the Kearney murderer has been
tried, convicted and sentenced to be
hung in April next. Ho has been
sent here to the penitentiary for safe
keeping. His is one of the most sin
gular cases on record. He is cool and
unreserved. Attempts to conceal
nothing. Confesses all, aud talks of
his murderous deeds, as a farmer
would of hog killing.
Olive and a part of his man-burning
gang, are also here for safe keep
ing. Silas.
STATE NEWS AND NOTES.

Red Cloud Argus'. Mr. J. B.
Mulford, living south of Guide Rock,
left at our offioe a few days since a few
potatoes of the Pharina variety. They
were first propagated from the ball by
his brother in Iowa, and Mr. M. rais
ed quite a large quantity of them on
bis farm last season. We think it is
decidedly the best potato In .the mar
ket. A communication of forty-five
lines, written by the pastor of a city
church in Nebraska, and published in
a newspaper of the city has nine syn
tactical errors, ten orthographical er
rors, fifteen errors in the use and non
use of capitals, and thirty-five errors
of punotuation. Of course you may
ascribe the errors to the compositor.

ted at the first onslaught."
Pawnee Enterprise : J. W. Hol
linshead is horae'again, but returns,
next week, with his family, to Fargo,
Dakota, where he is buying and ship
ping horses; He pictures the beau
ties and advantages of that country,
which he intends to make his future
home, in glowing colors, and thinks
it Ib the "future great" of the north
west. A correspondent of the Hum
boldt Sentinel says Speaker Mathew
son "is not the right man in the right
place.
A few days ago when General Grant
visited Ireland, Dublin,- Belfast and
other points at which he stopped,
gave him a most cordial welcome.
But when the news was conveyed to
the old bigoted city of Cork, that the
General contemplated paying it a vis
it, the Cork officials stid they would
not consider such a visit any honor to
Cork, and that Cork would dishonor
itself by extending even a decent
welcome to the distinguished Ameri
can. The cause of this insult to Gen.
Grant was, as the officials avowed,
his alleged hostility to the Ro
man Catholic Church. Peoule who
were at a loss to know what Genera!
Grant bad ever done or said to war
rant such a charge and such treat
ment, were soon enlightened by a
Cork paper, which referred to a brief
speech made by the General, in Sept.
1875, at Des Moines, at the meeting of
the Army of the Tennessee, as the
principal grievance of tho Catholics
toward Grunt. The following are the
glorious words of the great and true
American on that occasion :
"Now, in this year of our national
existence, I believe it a good time to
begin the work of strengthening the
foundation of the house commenced
by our patriotic forefathers one hun
dred years ago at Concord and Lex
ington. Let us all labor to add all
needful guarantees for the more per
fect security of free thought, free
speech, and a free press, pure morals,
unfettered religious sentiments, aud
of equal rights and privileges of all
men, irrespective of nationality, col
or, or religion. Encourage free
schools, and regolve that not one dol
lar of money appropriated to their
support, no matter how raised, shall
be appropriated to the support of any
sectarian school. Resolve that either
the state or nation, or both combined,
shall support institutions of learning
suffloient to afford every ohlld grow
ing up in the land the opportunity of
a good common school education, un
mixed with sectarian, pagan, or athe
istical tenets. Leave the matter of re
ligion to the family circle, the church,
-and the private schools supported en
tirely by private contribution. Keep
the church and state forever separate.
With these safeguards, I believe the
battles which oreated us 'The Army
of the Tennessee' will not have been
fouehtin vain."
A better code of principle'' a better
platform forevery man and woman to
stand upon, it would be Impossible to
utter und If Cork don't like it, Cork
can go to the devil.
