Democracy rules both houses, and thecitylis full.of bulldozers, bal lot box etuffers, negro killers, render ed dear to the heart of Democracy, looking after petty appointments from those who hold illegal seats in the House and Senate through their in strumentality. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, recently picked out forty poor little street boysj of that city, and started them to homes on farms in Kansas. He chose this method of applying a fund of $1,000 given him by a charitable gentlemau iu New England to give in such char itable manner as Reid might select. A friend wanting to subscribe for a Chicago newspaper, aBked our opin ion, which we gave as. follows: "If you want a most ably edited 'stalwart' Republican, paper, favorable to the silver dollar and redeemable green backs, take the Inter Ocean.

Philadelphia Bulletin. Wade Hamption Is a Southern bull dozer, and leader of the South Caro lina red shirted out throats, and he would carry his tactics of force and revolution into the Senate with him. What better could one expect from such a man as Hampton? A farmer, through the Pawnee En terprise, sounds the alarm, In the in terest of farmers, against "certain men by the names of Taylor, Clark, Edwards and Hudson, agents of the Hay worth Iron Fence Co. Marshall town, Iowa. These men, he claims, get the farmer's note by offering to make him their sole agent for the county, taking his note asasecurity of good faith, and at once selling it. We understand that these men have been operating quite extensively through the county. Watch out for them and givo them a wide berth," The bill passed, making the German and Scandinavian the official lan guage of Nebraska. There is appar ently nothing now that the county commissioners are bound to publish for the information of the people, ex cept In German and Scandinavian newspapers.

Pawnee Re publican. If a lot of teu year old school boys couldq legislate with more dignity and sense than this Nebraska legisla ture tbey would be a disgrace to their parents and Jesoherp, . n Wednesday evening last J: F; Barnard, Gen'l Superintendent and George Olds, Gen'l Freight Agent of the K. C, St. Joseph & C. B. Rail road, visited our city regarding the proposed branch of that road from Phelps to Brownville. These gentle men conferred with many of our bus iness men respecting the matter, and departed next day with a very good impression toward our city, people and the contemplated enterprise. They came as all railroad men come, Hsklng for aid. Said they expected Brownville to dosome thing, but bad no particular amount to demand as a condition. Mr. Bernard said "Now, talk this over among yourselves and when you have decided what helpyou can give us, let me know.' We think the largest sum of money they can get hs aid is not their object so much as the friendship of our people and some evidence that an expenditure of about twenty thousand dollars tofetoh their road to our city would be duly appre ciated. Therefore in furtherance of the en terprise, a meeting of our citizens was held in the court room last Friday evening. At the hour of meeting the court room was filled with all classes of citizens merchants, mechanics, professionals, and laborers, all deeply interested in the matter in hand. J. H. Broady, Esq., was called to the chair and stated the object of the meeting, following with some very pertinent remarks favorable to the project. John Ij. Carson, then being called, made a statement of the results, so far, of the visit of himself and Mr. Broady to the representative men of the K. C, St. Joseph & C. B. R. R., and of the Q. M. & P. road. The gist of Mr. Carson's remarks was that the two companies received the Brown ville representatives cordlally-and en tertained their suggestions with favor and that full and satisfactory arrange ments had been made, through the agency of Messrs. Carson and Broady for the occupancy and use of the Q. M. & P. franchise, right of way and road bed from Brownville to Phelps, by the K. C. company, until such time as the former company should want it for their own use; that all things were lovely and regular up to this time, and all that was wanted for a consummation of the enterprize, and our oity to make sure of securing the road, was for our citiaens- to put their riameB to a subscription paper which would be presented, with such sums as thoy felt able and willing to give. Mr. Carson spoke warmly in favor of the project, which was receiv ed with applause by the meeting. Mr. Carson was followed by brief, pertinent speeches from Judge Stull Bausfield, Bailey, .Furnas, Nickell, Lett, Dr. McPherson, Jas. Stevenson and it was a general speaking meet ing, the case being presented in every possible favorable phase and color. We would like to give a synopsis of all the remarks had we time and space to spare. Mr. George Harmon, of the Transfer Company, made a good speech. Being called out toward the last, he said he thought there had been about enough talk, "Now let us to business let us show our faith by our works ; I'll Tgive two hundred dollars, just to get this business start ed ; (a storm of applause) I have been giving and giving, but now I will give again, as I see something we are to get in return," &c, &c. George brought down the house. Mr. Baus field, also of the Transfer Co., arose and said, "I will give two hundred." (More applause.) The paper was then presented, sums varying from two hundred dollars down to one dollar weresubscrlbed. In addition to bank ers, merchants, real estate owners, and so on, mechanics and laborers, anxious for the road, subscribed some thing; and many enterprizing far mers, such asF. E. Johnson, A. Dodd, F. E. Allen, J. Q. A. Smith, R. S. Hannaford, John Bath, Thos. Bath, Smith Thompson, J. W. Brush. H. O. Minnick, Lawrence, Church Howe, Judge Church, Chris. Tucker, and others, realizing that this road will benefit the farmer more than any other class of citizens, arc subscribing liberally. The scheme let It be understood is not bond voting, but subscriptions to be paid up and done with as soon as freight and passenger cars are regularly passing over the road. We desire to say to such business men of Brownville, and farmers-, who have not subscribed to the enterprise, that they should do so at once, as It will be only by a liberal and united effort that we will get the road. The welfare of the people, especially the producers, largely depend on compete tion in freight carryiug when freight is low farmers get the benefit of it in what they buy and In what they sell, and when it rises they have to pay for it and this is a cheap projeot which if perfected will permantly benefit all. Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, re cently in the Senate reaffirmed the old Democratic doctrine of the right of a State to 6ecede. This, everybody understands, is the cherished doc trine of the Southern Democracy, but many may not have been so cer tain that Democrats North would ao- quiesce in or accept such utterances as a Democratic article of faith. But the faot that not a single Democratic Senator raised his voice against the promulgation of the rebellious doc trine, and instead thereof gave the Southern traitor support in debate, is evidence that Thurman North and Lamar South, leading the party of the sections they respectively repre sent, stand upon the same disloyal, disunion platform, made by Calhoun, and reasserted by Jeff. Davis, in the Senate, twenty yearB ago. Again, we have been trying to find in Democrat ic newspapers condemnation of such teachings in the U. S. Senate as that a State has the right to secede at will, hut not a word can be found to that effect. It is left solely and wholly to the Republican Senators and Repub lican newspapers, and the masses of the Republican party, as in tbe days of the inauguration of the rebellion, to denounce and combat treason and treasonable utterances. The time has again come for all loyal people, of ev ery party, to unite to administer a fit ting rebuke to such promulgators of treason as Thurman and Lamar, and their followers. The remedy now is with the ballot and a firm adminis tration of the laws, but if these are not made available at once the time is not far off when resort again to bul lets will be a necessity. Every move of the Southern Detnocrac$ which is the soul and motive power of the Democratic party North and South, warrants this conclusion. G. W. Gray a sort of a one-horse snide job printer, holding forth at Omaha, is Hooding the country with circulars offering to do job printing very cheap. The truth is he sends samples of paper which he never du plicates, and practices every and all Impositions on his patrons that is known to the trade. Any merchant or business man who would patron ize such an institution should starve to death, and we are glad to say that very few do take any stock In any thing of the kind. Courier. When a printer pretends to furnish printed stationery at less than what the stock will cost him it can be de pended on that somebody will he beat en by It. Such a man oan always be set. down ns a cheat and a swindler. Wiblur JRecord. Correct, brother. And this reminds us of the funniest newspaper man In the State. When he first started out for business he would approach mer chants and tell them he would adver tise aLhalf usual rates, thatthey might localize all they wanted free of charge, and that it was all the same price whether their ads. were big or little. In fact he preferred to "spread out" tbeads. because they "filled up" more. Some weeks ago he inserted a big ad. for a business house at Syracuse, and spread it out terribly, without even consulting the proprietor. WJiattbia snide meant by such work "no fellow has yet been able to find out," but re cently he announced his determina tion to "ensmall" as his style "had n't payed." The dampbool probably knows when he is hungry or "dry," and that is about all. The great international walking match at Gilmore's Garden, N. Y., ended on Saturday night, last, Rowell the Englishman, walking away with the first prize. He made 500 miles within six days. O'Leary, the Amer ican champion, got sick and aban doned the contest when about half finished. Enuis and Harriman, Americans, remained, the former making 475 miles and the latter 450. The total receipts, as gate money, dur ing the contest was $51,000, each of the contestants getting their share. O'Leary gets $1,000 which was set apart at the beginning for any one who might fail to remain through ac cident or sickness. Total number of miles made by each man, each day of the match, was as follows : Rowell first day, 110 miles; fseo ond, 87; third, 86; fourth, 77; fifth, 68; sixth, 72; total, 500. Ennis first day. 95; second, 78; third, 78; fourth, 85; fifth, 69; sixth, 70; total, 475. Harriman first day, 100; second, 86; third, 84; fourth, 55; fifth, 65; sixth, 60; total, 450. Ennis made hiB four hundred and seventy fifth mile in 6 minutes and 5 seconds, the quickest mile made by any one during the contest. Ennis is a tough, gritty fellow, and left the contest apparently fresh and in good condition. It is said be has already challenged Rowell to a contest for the ehampionship of the world. If those two enter the arena in good condition it will be the olosest race ever walked. The Columbus, Neb., Journal thinks tbe capitol oppropriation bill is unconstitutional, and we are not so sure but that the point is well taken. It is this: The bill proposed In the house provided for a levy of of a mill, whioh limited the amount to be raised to $100,000. The bill was amended In the senate limiting the amount to $75,000 and appropriating the amount from a fund already on hand, thus abolishing the levy item of the bill, and in effeot making it a new bill appropriating money for that purpose. The constitution is very plain upon this subjeot and reads: 'Any bill may originate In either house of the legislature, except bills appropriating money, which shall originate only in the house of repre sentatives and all bills passed by one house may be amended by the other.1 The bill as first introduced In the house provided- for for the erection of a wing to a capitol. building, by the levy of a tax, and had none of the features of an appropriation. In tbe senate, under the cover of amend ment, the nature of the hill was en tirely changed, and instead of ma king provisions whereby a sum of money might be levied and collected for a certain pupose, it was so alter ed as to make it an appropriation bill. A delegation numbering one hun dred, of the business men of Kansas City, Mo., recently went In a body before tbe legislature of Kansas and asked by speeches and-memorial the annexation of their city to Kansas. They represented that a large-majority of the people of Kansas City Is fa vorable to the project. John Cavanaugh, called Dublin Jack has confessed that he and Ber nard Heeney killed police officer Ros en field at Rock Island, last week while resisting arrest. On the night of the 16th at New port, Ky., a man named Kein was banged to the limb of a tree by a mob, and hanged there all night. Kansas City papers report that one day last week over three thousand Immigrants passed through that city to settle in Kansas. Joseph Rosenfield, & policeman of Hock Island, was recently attacked by some rufllans and killed. J. B. Finch, is leoturing this week in Falls Oity.

As teachers, we extenda cordial in vitation to all to be present at all the exercises as far as possible, and espec ially at the examinations, as we are anxious that-the people should know something of our methods of instruc tion, and the proficiency of the pu pils in the several branches taught-.

The funeral services was held last Monday at tbe M. E. Church at Highland. Elder Coryell has commenced a protracted meeting in Sheridan. Dr. BouF and his father have gone to Lincoln on a short visit. We are informed that the Good Templars have resolved that spitting tobacco on tbe floor shall not be toler ated in the lodge room, but to all ap pearance that regulation was not en forced last Saturday night. The Eug lish language, with its seventy thous and words, is lacking adjectives to ex press our utter contempt or the young man, who, not satisfied with covering a square yard of floor with tobacco spit, will throw quids of to bacco against the wall and stuff them into ink-wells, etc South of Sheridan lives an old man whose years are numbered by about three score and ten. During the rebellion he served as a private, and in the heavy rains and during the long marches in the South bis health gave way, and his whole ner vous system seems shattered ; every slight difficulty with his neighbors seems to pray unon his mind and cause him great trouble. Some of the young men In the vicinity seem to delight in anything that gives him trouble, and as though anxious to show what kind of animals they be long to, will bark like dogs or bray like asses and make use of all sorts of language whenever they meet the old man or pass his premises. Nor is this all. Some of that class of people that pray for the heathen, etc., appear to think this nioe fun and laugh loud and long about "how the boys did make him swear." Is it any wonder that this old man becomes somewhat misanthropic and prefers the life of a recluse? Richards, tbe murderer, has b&d his photo, taken, and is getting religion fast as be can, preparatory to being "jerked to Jesus," as some s areas tio editor calls it. Hon.

H., same day, for the murder of Mrs. Marion Berry. Victor Nunez was hanged at Pueb lo, Cal., same day, for the murder of Louis Rascone, Oct. 1S77. The crime was committed to get possession of the victim's wife and property. Senator Saunders voted to cenfirm the New York appointments under a bargain that Huyes would appoint ex Congressman Crounse collector for the State of Nebraska. Nebraska CityNews. We'll bet a hat that that assertion is a lie. President Hayes and Senator Saunders never made any such trade. They are both men of honor and dig nity, and would not think of stoop ing to the attitude of trading politi cians. Senator Saunders in support ing the President's New York ap pointments, acted independent of the President or other influence, did his duty, and did just what he ought to havo done. A bitterquarrel existed be tween the Pres't. and Senator Conk ling, endangering the welfare, of the Republican party, and the only way to settle this fued and get it out of tbe way, or at least away from the atten tion of the Senate, was to confirm the President's nominees. Senator Saun ders' record on" this subject is good. If some of the newspapers had half as good for truth and fairness they would be much better off. In a letter in the Kansas Pilot, from Leadville, to Charley Van Fossen, the writer says he has no doubt that by July next there will be fifty thousand people at Leadville. He furtbersays, what everybody ought to know with out being told, that "a man needs money in this country to make mon ey." The true corollary then would be that a man who can't go there with money had" better stay at home. Seth P. Mobley, editor of the Grand Island Independent, and Johu C. Lee, editor of the Commonwealth, same city, recently undertook to settle a newspaper quarrel with their fists. Mobley called Lee some pet names, when the latter knocked him down and held him until they were separa ted. Seth had better now resign the chair of fighting oditor of the Inde penaeia to ilaggie. A farmer near Humboldt, Neb., re cently had a span of mules and a span of mares and a wagon and har ness Btolen. The two thieves were followed about 150 miles into Kansas, the property recovered and one of the thieves captured, who gives his name as John Castine. He says bis partner called himself Frank Johnson. The breech of promisecase of Mrs. Oliver against Simon Cameron was before the court In Washington on the 16th. The plaintiff exhibited letters from Simon, proving he bad promised to marry her. She testified that Simon had taken improper lib erties with her during the engage ment.

O'Leary, hitherto the champion walker, while walking In a contest with Rowell, the English walkist, gave out and bad to leave the track. His physician and trainer say he was Biok when he entered the contest. There is serious talk of reissuing a supply of the 15-cent fractional notes. Their convenience, especially for transmission by mail, iscausing many petitions to be sent to Washington praying for their reissue. A heavy windstorm recently passed through Macoupin county, 111., de stroying much property and killing several people, amongst them Ed ward McDonald and one of his chil dren. A Washington telegram says the "famous Mrs. Jenks called on the President a day or two ago, and had a brief interview, principally about the weather." L. G. Hammond, a prominent mem ber of tbe Baptist church, at Joliet, 111., Is a principal in a savory scandal the other one is a prominent wom an. Dr. John M. Woodsworth, Super vising Surgeon of the Marine Hospit al Service, died at Washington on the 4th inst. Marshal Dally doesn't vacate the U. S. Marahalship.
