Sib: For the past six years we
have been acting with you and sup
porting you as an independent candi
date for the Legislature. Three times
In succession you have been returned
to the House and Senate, and could,
we believe, continue to represent Ne
maha county as an independent can
didate so long as you would consent
to serve the people.- We are inform
ed that you now propose In the future
to work with the Republican party.
Possessing as you do tho confidence
and esteem of a majority of the peo
ple of our county who would stand
by you in the future as they have in
'the past, many of j'our friends are at
a loss to know why you now propose
to give your work and influence to
the Republican party.

Gentlemen r Your Tetter came to
hand some days since, and its con
tents cauaed me extreme gratification.
It Is no small matter to receive
renewed assurance that I bav6
the confidence and esteem of gentle
men representing as you do, the In
telligence, respectability, and moral
worth of the county and community
where I have for many years-resided,
and which by your suffrage I have
represented In both bodies of ourState
Legislature during the past six years.
.Having been so often supported by a
majority-of the people oMbis county
upon an independent platform, while
upon National'Issues it has been large
ly Republican, I am pleased to have
this opportunity to give toyousomeof
tbe reasons that have induced me to
once more ally myselfwith the Re
publican party, and take a place in
tbe ranks of those who march under
the banner of its principles. In order
to do so, it Is necessary to refer briefly
to tbe part I have taken in affairs
both local and National during the
past twenty years.
When the guns of Sumpter woke
tbe North to tbe actual existence of
armed secession, I was among the
first to offer my services to my coun
try and to the cause of liberty. Only
a boy in years I enlisted In the Old
Massachusetts Sixth, which was the
jirat regiment to arrive in Washing
ton In response to the call of Presi
dent Lincoln, and served In the army
until by-sickness and disability I was
compelled to resign. My services as
a soldier are a part of the history of
the Nation ;ItlB not proper for me to
now recite them. Iwill only Bay this,
that the experience of such days as
those at Baltimore, April 19, 1861,
Balls' Bluff. Yorktown. Williams
burg, Fair Oaks, Peaoh Orchard, Nel
son's Farm, Malvern Hills, and An
teltem, taught me to love our flag bet
ter than the life so often perlledfor it,
and to believe that it is far safer to
trust its preservation and the Bafety of
the Nation, to those who fought for it,
and to the sons of those who died de
fending Hrthan to those who furlong
years, so desperately sought to raise
above it the emblem of stato sover
eignty. Up to the time I came to Nebraska
and settled in Nemaha county, I al
ways was a Republican and acted
with that party. The war being over,
the Union preserved, slavery abolish
ed, equal rights and equal protection
guaranteed to all, state rights given
place to national supremaoy, the
South restored to statehood, her peo
ple forgiven and reolothed with citi
zenship, many of the greater minds of
hthe Republican party thought that its
mission was accomplished and that
it would sooner restore the old time
confidence between north and Bouth ;
do away with the hostility and bitter-
nees of war times, if the old party
lines were set aside and'on independ
ent party organized, whose aim should
be the advancement of tbe whole
country In prosperity and unity.
That this might have been accom
plished, perhaps Is true. It may only
have needed that the forgiveness ex
extended by tbe North should have
been met by a pledge from the South
.to again commence existence ob a part
of an entire nation upon tbe basis of
'the constitution and its amendments.
: Whether these views may have been
true or not, it is certain that in some
communities the organization of In
dependent parties for local govern
ment became matters -of self-protection,
and thlB without regard to
whether those local governments were
in the hands of Republicans or Dem
ocrats. Such an organization I deemed ex
pedient in Nemaha' oountyv and en
tered heartily into suob a movement.
The farming' communities had been
overreached by tbe towns, politics
had with some beoame a business,
and the places and perquisites parcel
ed out to those In the ring without re
gard to the best interests of tbe rural
districts. So we organized in Nema
ha county, not against Republicans,
not against Democrats, but to protect
ourselves. By our organization we
have dene great good. We have de
stroyed a bonded indebtedness of
eighty thousand dollars, and have
placed tbe county upon as good, if not
tbe best flnanohxl basis of any in the-
State. We have demonstrated that
the farmers have the powerand know
how to exercise it to govern- them
selves. Now having done all thfsr having
accompllshedfWbat we undertook, let
as Bee if the time has not come when
the affairs of the general government
demand the same earnest attention
and devotion that we have given to
our local ones, and if so, in what way
we can render the most assistance.
It will be conceded by all, I think,
that at the present time there are but
two parties who can attain control of
the government the Republican and
Democratic. We have only a choice
between the two. The attempt to
form or support a third party would
only result in placing one of tbe oth
ers in power. Which can we trust?
Which shall we support? Let us look
a moment at tbe past. One has been
a party of slavery the other of free
dom; ono tho party of disunion ; tbe
other Union; one the party of state
rights; the other of national suprem
acy. At the olose of Buohanan's admin
istration the government was nearly
bankrupt? its 8 per cent, bonds could
scarcely be sold at 13 per cent, dis
count to pay Its ordinary expenses.
The Democratic party precipitated a
war upon tho country that cost It mil
lions of treasure and oceans of blood ;
its doctrines of state rights, exempli
fied in secession, has put a tax upon
every farm In tbe land, and left a va
cant chair In every home.
The Republican party in eighteen
years of power has freed four millions
of people from slavery ; it has put
down the greatest armed rebellion ev
er known ; it has given to the whole
people equal rights, and guaranteed
equal protection ; it ha8 forgiven
them who were Inreb"elllon,"adwel-
comed tbem back to brotherhood and
citizenship; it has carried the oountry
safely through the crisis of hard times;
it has reduced the war debt one-fourth
and refunded it In 4-per cent, bonds,
selling them at par in gold ; it has
made our country respected and hon
ored above all other nations; it has
made our promises to pay as good as
gold ; it has given homes to the home
less and land to the landless, and has
brought us at last Into plain sight of
peaco, plenty and prosperity.
The Democratic party has been tried
in the last few years and found want
ing. It has obtained possession of
both bouses of CongresB by a Bystem
of armed intimidation, violence, trea
son, crimes and frauds, Buch as no
country has ever before known and
no government tolerated; It has treat
ed tbe forgiveness of the north with
scorn ; It has ignored the laws of Con
gress and set at defiance the amend
ments to the constitution ; it has re
vived the old doctrine of states rights,
and proclaims that nothing was set
tled by the late war; it has flooded
Congress with rebel war claims,
enough to bankrupt tbe nation,
which only wait a Democratic Presi
dent to be passed and paid ; It has es
tablished a caucus rule in Congress
that gives the absolute power iutotbe
hands of the ex-confederates; It has
attempted to force tbe approval of tbe
executive, to laws removing the last
safeguard from the purity of tbe polls,
by threats of withholding appropria
tions and starving out the govern
ment. It has no policy or principle ex
cept to get into power by any means
good or bad. In some States it Is a
bard mouey party, in others u soft.
Its seat of power is alone in a solid
Soutb, where a man votes a Republi
can ticket at peril of his life. To-day
the southern press, pulpit and orators
are proclaiming that their cause Is not
lost, and that it will triumph at the
polls, though beaten in battle. They
are burling anathemas at the minions
of Yaukeedom, and extolling tbe
virtues and patriotism of those who
led tbem out of tbe Union, and their
words are applauded to tbe echo by
the whole Democratic party of the
South. To-day their malltia compa
nies wear the confederate grey, and
carry tbe Btate flags, refusing to
.march under the stars and etripea.
The Democratic party In power would
not mean tbe mild Demooraoy of tbe
north. It would mean the arrogant,
dictatorial, unreconciled Democracy
of the soutb. I can see no good to be
accomplished by placing the Demo
cratic party in power. I feel that the
destiny of tbe nation Is safer with the
party that preserved its life. I prefer
to still march with those with whom
I fought. I know five-sixths of the
federal soldiers were Republicans, and
they are bo to-day. We should op
pose a solid north to a solid south un
til such time as the southern Democ
racy shall show by their acts that
they accept the laws and constitution
al amendments as binding upon tbem;
until tbey give in the south a fair,
free ballot, where all men may vote
honestly und fearlessly; until they
show that they love the-nation and
the flag enough to guard and proteot
them. If that time comes we can
then decide whether It is best to dis
band tbe old party organization and
organize another. Until" that time
comes, let us stand by tbe Republican
party and work for its principles.
Thus hastily I have set forth my
views upon the political situation-,
and have given some of the reasons
that caused me again to enter frr full
sympathy with the organization of
the Republican party. If to you they
seem good, I shall expect and hope to
have your co-operation and assistance
in the future as In the past.
Believe me that I am under deep
obligations to you all, and I shall en
deavor to ooutfnue to merit your
friendship and esteem.
Your obedient servant,
Church Howe.
The Democratic papers favor the
vindication of Gen. FItz John Porter
and his restoration to the army, be
cause while he commanded federal
troops he-did it In suoh a manner as
to favor the rebels. How natural for
the Democracy te- do this. How
could tbey belreal, true Democrats
and do otherwise.

The Coukling-Spragnc Libel.
The magnified, distorted, and silly
accounts sent out about the so-called
Conkling-Sprague difficulty at Nara
gaosett Pier, shows tbe morbid cra
ving that exists almost everywhere
for sensations of this character. Be
fore tbe facts were known the most
extravagant statements were readily
believed, and when it tnrned out that
tbe much-talked of intimacy between
Senator Conkling and Mrs. Sprague
bad nothing whatever to do with tbe
difficulty, a tinge of disappointment
was felt by every tattler and scandal
monger, as well as every actually Im
pure man and woman in the country.
It is a positive reproach to our civili
zation that such a greed for Bean
dal exists, but it has been fed and fos
tered by sensational newspapersuntil
tbe moral sense has been blunted and
perverted, and until the demoraliza
tion has become well-nigh universal.
Why the professional debauober, and
the professional roue and cyprian
should delight in these stories of al
leged criminality, can easily be ex
plained. Tbey are eager to make
outall humanity as badas themselves,
aud to prove their constant declara
tion that so-called virtue la but con
cealed crime and morality only tbe
Iaok of opportunity. When a chance
offfefs like that presented by tbia la
test story, therefore, they revel in the
disclosure, and are prepared to believe
all and more than Ib reported without,
a word of evidence. Swift acceptance
of the worst side from such people is
to be expected ; but why it is that oth
ers, personally moral and upright in
their lives, Bhould jump at such re
ports as true, without waiting for a
breath of proof, isbeyondoomprehen-
eion.
Men and women who lead, so far
as the letter Is concerned, pure lives,
roll the latest scandal under their
tongues as the most delicious morsel,
and are ready to give perfect credence
to a story that blackens the name of
one of the fairest of American women,
and one whose domestio trails and in
tellectual and sooial ability have made
her name the synonym for all that is
faithful as a daughter, upright as a
wife, and lovable as a mother. To Bee
how the soandal-mougers wives and
mothers themselves maroh away
with the character of such a woman
is disheartening indeed.
Ib it possible that there Is such a
thing as mental Impurity, whioh Ib
positively woree than bodily degrada
tion? Can the man or woman who
loves to dwell on all the details of a
scandal, and Is ready to judge without
mercy, be themselves pure?
It is of course possible for prominent
people to sin ; for great minds to wal
low; for culture, refinement, and In
tellect to stoop to mortal passions and
descend to pleasures of tbe baser sort;
but this Is not the customary direct
ion of such minds to the degree that
we need to take the simple reports of
their transgressions as proof as strong
as holy writ against them.
As a matter of faot, Itseems that un
usual injustice has been done la this
case at Naraganaett Pier. The scene,
which was eo unfortunate and such a
mortifying one at best, for Mrs.
Sprague, has been made painful be
yond expression by the interpretation
given to her husband's outburst. And
it Is pretty certain tba4 the prurient
part of tho public will not easily ac
cept any interpretation of that scene
which Ib not based on tbe charge of
improper relations between tbe prin
cipal parties named. There are plen
ty of men who cannot comprehend
the existence of any relations of an
intimate oharacter between a man and
a woman whioh ore not of the crimin
al sort. Simple friendship, between
the sexes, they regard as an impossi
bility, and, therefore, when Mr. Conk-
Hug visits the Sprague residence the
last place he would be apt to visit were
there any foundation for the insinu
ations thrown out the hue and cry Is
sounded and tbe telegraph wires be
comes burdened with defamation that
would have been spared to persons of
lesser oonsequence.
It Is an unhealthypublic taste that
craves these things, tbatrelishes them,
and that slyly slips aside the publica
tion having the largest number of
soandals with the most lickerieh de
tails ; It Is a taste, too, which is as
suming alarming proportions, and
which calls for some correction stron
ger than mere words deploring its ex
istence. That some legal regulations
regarding the publicatIonof Buch re
ports will have to be adopted ere long
is not improbable. Inter Ocean.

It was intended when the orders now

Greasy Northern Palms
Natural Landlords orthe Soil
Democracy In the South.
The Hon. Wm. Pinkney, of South
Carolina recently wrote as follows to
a Southern Congressman : For twen
ty years the Yankees have monopo
lized the Government patronage, and
now that our turn has come, and we
put in our friends on whom we can re
ly, gentlemen who would blush to
touch one of their greasy Northern
palms, they complain of persecution!
What right have they, hirelings and
upstarts, to dictate to us, the natural
landlords of the soil? Does not their
boasted education teach that in histo
ry gentle blood will tell ? That in the
natural logic of events brains must
eventually come to the surface? How
does it come that in this favored laud
tbe French overcame tbelndians, tbe
English the French, and to-day the
Southerner is drlviug-the North be
fore him? Is it not the God given
right of Intellect? Had King James
sent those dastard Purltaus to some
deserted island, as tbey deserved, Col
umbia would to-day be one homoge
neous nation, united Icr faith, politics
and religion, and have made such
strides in civilization as to-distance
the effete nations of the old World.
Then this fatal warof supremaoy they
forced upon us, with Its fearful'out
pouring of treasure, the loss of the best
blood in tbe country, would have been
avoided, and our elaves would still be
doing their God-appointed work. As
it is, these Yankees, the refuse of ev
ery nation, have requited the Ienien
oy of the founders of the Government
by taking up arms against their nat
ural rulers, have conquered, persecu
ted, taken prisoner, and even put to
death the Lord's chosen people, des
troyed tbe very nature of the Govern
ment, and at fact set up' a sordid im
poster who has neither the title to
govern nor the underetandingto man
age what he has usurped. Foryeara we
have borno all this in silence, but now
the day of grace Is over, the time of
mercy is past. You that have the au
thority must bid them come down
from their high places that their bet
ters may reign.
Wants to Plant 10,000 Acresof Wheat,
INDTANAPOLIS, IND., Auir. 9, '79.
Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Nebraska City,
Otoe Co., Neb.
Dear Sir: A gentleman here de
sires to plant a 10,000 acre field of
wheat In south eastern Nebraska.
His money will enable him to supply
the necessary teams aud machinery
for the planting, but not to purchase
for cash, the seed wheat In addition.
It will take some 15,000 to 20,000 bush
els to plant it properly. He wants to
plant both winter and spring wheat.
I write to enquire of you, Ifyou know
of any one who would' loaih the seed
wheat and take Its kind next year,
and If so what lnorease would they
ask. It will do your state no harm to
have a few patches of wheat like it.
He Is a reliable party in every way.
The party furnishing the seed can
have control until ho gets his share
next year.
Yours truly,
James Buchanan.
The Unfortunate Mrs. Spragno.
Providence, August 15. Mrs. A.
M. Sprague, remained arTCanonohet
last night with a kinsman from Ohio,
being as one of the friends in the
house, but the position was exceed
ingly uncomfortable for all parties.
Sprague declares that he will have
the ohildren at all hazards, and for
bids tbe servants to obey any of his
wife's orders without consulting him.
Mrs. Sprague is reported to be greatly
prostrated by the events of the past
few days, by tbe cruel reports of tbe
newspapers and apprehension for her
ohildren.
Senator Thurman? is the Okolona
States candidate for President. We
should think the States is correct
when it says-the people-of the South
want Thurman. Every move that
Thurman made in the last two sessions
of the senate were intended bids for
such support.
Washington, Aug. 14. A photo
graph of the $1 bills of the National
Eagle Bank of Boston was discovered
In the National Bank redemption
Agenoy this morning. The note is
much darker in appearaiToo that the
genuine, but well calculated to de
ceive. Eight cars of negros, a better class
of the ezodus arrived in Kansas last
week. It appears that many of tbem
are prepared to return, to their old
homo in the South to report upon the
country. They will probably visit
other States.
When Wirz, the hero of Anderson

There has been a heavier wheat ex

Philadelphia than ever before. Dur

bushels.
A few days ago a report came over
from England that Gen. Grant's
