Last week we published an account
of how H. M. Dixon, of Yazoo City,
Mies., Independent candidate for
aheritr, was forced bythreatsof death
to abandon his place on the ticket.
The Democrats have finally murder
ed him. It appears that the Independ
ents urged Dixon to reconsider his
promise made at the muzzle of hun
dreds of pistols, which he did ; and,
so announcing his determination to
resume bis place on the ticket, lie was
at once hunted down with a shot gun
and assassinated on the streets of Ya
zoo City. This policy will be more
rigidly enforced in the South than it
has been, in order to make more sure
a "solid South' for 18S0. Now we
are one ltepubllcan that would urge
upon the North to resist the Inaugu
ration of a Presidential candidate
claimingelection upon electoral votes
obtained as they will be in Mississip
pi and the whole South. The time
has about come, and is certain in the
near future, when the swindled and
bulldozed portion of the Nation must
enforce its rights by powder and bul
lets. This condition, is being forced
upon them, and when fifty' electoral
votes obtained by the Mississippi
plan, demands to stand against and
thwart the honest verdict of the Na
tion, then the Bolid South should be
taught a lesson it will not forget in
all time. They claim now that the
last war "settled nothing." The
uexttvvar willjbe more-effective, and
aettle'something.
On the 23d Inst. Charles De Young,
editor of the San Fraaelsco GKroni'clc
shotDr.Kallochi. candidate for Mayor
on the Workingmen's ticket. It was
an extremely cowardly act. the victim
being surprised was allowed no chance
of defending himself. This is a result
of a most bitter partisan quarrel.
Both men, one in his paper and the
other on the stump being very person
ally abusiveof each other. Dr.Kalloch
was shot in the breast and the thigh,
the former a mortal wound, and
doubtless ere this he is dead. The as
sassination of their candidate,
as well might be expected, ter
ribly exasperated the Working-
men, already heated with polit
ical strife, and they at once massed,
a mob of 20,000, vowing a fearful ven
geance on- De Young. But tbe- polioe
and military, anticipating an attempt
to lyuch De Young, were equally
prompt in mustering around the jail,
protecting the assassin, and a moat
sanguinary coulliot was avoided by
the sensible course of the leaders of
the Workingmen, and especially; the
noted Dennis Kearney, who made
speeches opposing lynching and coun
seling coolness and moderation for
tho present. But if Kalloch dies of
ills wounds, wo may expect to hear
yet of tho lynching of De Young or
attempt to lynch him, and the enact
ment of bloodv scenes In the streets
of San Francisco.
The Bloominglou Argus flaunts the
"bloodv ellirt." The Democrats of
I the South are now engaged in bloody
ing each other's shirts, andthat kind
of news suits us better. Poor Yazoo
Dixon, who had a gold headed cane
preseutedto him for his efficiency in
bloodying Republican shirts in pro
moting Democracy, has had his own
shirt bloodied, by his bretheru in
crime. They are about out of of car
pet-baggers' shirts, and to keep their
hand In have gone to bloodying the
shirts of one another. Bro. Calhoun,
how would you like to go down to
MississppI and:risk your shirt by try
ing to be freeman? your shirt might
keep well down there, however, bo-
lug the kiud of Democrat you are,
but the alternative, if you dare, dis
sent from the "reg'Iartlcket;." would
be a truckling sycophant or a bloody
shirt. How tmuch better, the pure
free air, of central Nebraska, where,
on account of Republican rule, even
an unregenerated-confederate carpet
bagger Is free to run on any ticket
he pleaBes, is guaranteed a fair ballot,
protection if elected, and no dread of
being carriad'to-his wife, as was Dix
on, wrapped in a bloody-shirt.
The Democratic party of the coun
try was deprived by fraud of the fruits
of its victory in the contest of 1876.
The reprobation of history will fall
upon those who committed this crime
against the whole people.
The above lie is promulgated in the
Democratic platform of Maryland.
History shows that about forty electo
ral votes, obtained by frauds, intimi
dation, violence aud'bribery failing to
give tho old fraud' procurer of Gram
arcy Park an election, he incurred
the further ignominy and disgrace of
attempting to suborn the returning
board by the use of money. Talk
about history every page the Demo
cratic party makes is blacker than the
one preceding it. Tbey made some
more history down in Mississippi the
other day a companion page to the
one on whioh Is recorded tho murder
of Judge Chisolm an his daughter.
Mr. P. M. JoueB, Chairman of the
Greenback Committee at Belfast, Me.,

favor upon the aseistance too often

Salt Lake City, Utah,
August 17, 1879.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
You asked me to "give The Ad
vertiser readers a letter from the
city of the Saints." Really, I know
not what to write. A description of
the country passed over between your
-place and this, and even of the Salt
Lake region and city, Is a story too
old, and oft told, to be interesting. I
was much interested in noting chang
es and development of country trav
ersed by both the B. & M. and U. P.
railroads, more particularly in Ne
braska, since I last traveled this
route. The progress made all along
tho lines of these roads from Browu
ville to leaving the Platte Valley, Is
simply wonderful. More marked, I
thought, from Crete west, to Kearney,
than any other. From Hastings and
Into the Republican Valley, I am
told, the evidences of "onward march"
are, if possible, still more surprising.
That portion of the State over which
we traveled looks like an old Bettled
country, far as the eye can reach to
the right and left. The small grain
Is pretty much all. in stack-, and pre
sents such a sight of grain piles, as
one Beldom sees anj'where. The old
sand hills 6outh, and about Kearney,
that only a few years ago, wereas des
titute of vegetation aa any ordinary
highway, are nowoovered with grass,
or yielding good jsmall grain, and even
passable corn. Further west from
fcblB, of oourse, more attention Is giv
en stock raising. This factor of Ne
braska production is, too, greatly in
creasing. Where stock men had, a
few years since, their hundredsof cat
tle and sheep, they now have their
thousands.
After leaving Nebraska, outside of
stock growing, there is but little wor
thy of note along tho line of road.
The coal mining interests at Rock
Springs, makes that a point of value.
There are mining and oil interests off
from the road on both sides, claimed
to be of increasing value.
The scenery, through the mountains
will never cease to be of interest to
one who cares to observe Nature's ar
rangements. The towering piles of
stoue, heaved up injshapeless masses,
surrounded with distant mountain el
evations and views,-to mo, will always
bo of iuterest.. ,?he dashing ride,
from Wasatcb-down Eoho and Weber
canyons to Qgden, will ever be grand
to any one. The hanging rock walls
on both sides of tho road, reaching
from five hundred" to fifteen hundred
feet above, are grand to behold!
There too we come again to evidences
of civilization and Improvement'. We
are now In Utah, and the industrious
Mormons have utilized the valleys iu
these canyons, and built farms and
towns. With irrigation from the uev
or failing streams, the land is render
ed very productive. Fruit is grown
to great abundance. At the several
Btations luscious peaches, plums, apri
cots, pears and apples can be bad "for
a song" almost. Quite a relief in
matter of expenditures these prices
for the reason that for all else, and
all along tho line of road, luxuries
were obtainable only at "round pri-
ces."
Salt Lake City baa greatly improv
ed since I was here in 1870. Very
many elegant buildings have been
erected, both residences, business and
public. The great Mormon Temple
has grown about two stories in ten
years. It was-commenced in 1SG3. Is
being constructed of solid, granite,
and will be a magnificent structure
when completed. It is supposed live
or six year's more work will complete
It. Near the Temple, is now near
completion wuat the Mormons call
ther Winter Tabernacle. It Is of mod
ern archSecture, and built of granite
stone. The old Taberuacle has Its
acoustlo arrangements remodeled
somewhat, for the better. Admirable
effects In this respect has been claim
ed from the first. While two hund
red and fifty feet In length and one
hundred and fifty in width, a whisp
er, or drop of pin can be heard dis
tinctly from one extreme to theother.
Our Invalid companion was much in
terested in the big organ, and some
what exasperated because she had
neither feet nor hands enough to
play It.
Very many fine residences have
been constructed, and more under
way, by both Gentiles and Mormons.
The season is very dry, old MormonB
say the dryest for twenty years. Wa
ter for irrigating purposes is withheld
In the oity proper, and as a conse
quence, nearly all the fine fruits and
flowera for which Salt Lake City has
been characterized, is parched and
dried up. Most of the fruit has shriv
elled and fallen off. All spare, or ir
rigating water is turned on to the
farms, in order to keep up as much as
possible essential products. The finest
email grain I have ever seen, is grown
here. Corn is of little account?, and
but little of it planted. Small grain,
berry and Btraw, is as bright and clear
yellow as fine gold.
There is much mining Interest still
manifest in Utah, and of which this
city is headquarters. Some very heavy
sales have been made recently.
Cannon, Young and Carrington,
exeeutorsof the late Brigham Young's
estate, areplayiug martyrsin the Ter
ritorial prison for failure to comply
with some order of court, relating to
the business of the estate. This Is
generally, I believe, regarded as a
martyr dodge. There is a good deal
of feeling here just now among all
the people, relating to Mormon af
fairsa good deal of bad blood mani
festing itself. The city papers are full
of It.
We reached here on Friday eve
ning, "took In" tho city Saturday,
and Sunday to-day attended relig
ious service at the great Mormon Tab
ernacle. Last evening our party at
tended the famed French Aimee Op-
era, witnessing Mne Aimees iavor-
ite "Madam Favart." Good singing,
but a little too much Frenoh to be en
joyable by those not versed in the di
alect. The great organ acoompanied
by its two hundred voices in the Tab
ernacle, to-day, better snited our ear.
In Salt Lake City we find many old
and familiar Nebraska faces.
Among
them Alex. Majors, of tho old Majors, '
Rus3ell & Waddel freighting house, of
Nebraska City, before the days- of rail
roads west of the Missouri river. He
is as active and enterprising as of ear
lier days. Is engaged iu mining op
erations, and recently consummated
trades which has "put money In his
purse." Geo. G. Wallace and C. W.
Lyman, both sons-in-law of Mrs. Bel
den, formerly of Brownville, are loca
ted here. They are engaged in exten
sive forwarding business, and doing
well. To these gentlemen, a8 well as
to their good wives, familiarly known
,to Brownville folks of early days, as
Jenny and Nellie Belden, we are in
debted for much that contributed to
make our brief Bojourn In the elty of
the saints, pleasant, and- leng to be
remembered.
Mra. C. E. Yost, wife of the mana
ger of the Omaha Republican, Chas.
Saunders and his Bister, eon and
daughter of Senator Saunders, are on
pleasure trips here. Our party, in
company with the last named, will
leave to-morrow morning for Denver
and Central City, Colorado. From
there, wo start directly home.
While there Is muoh to Interest and
attract in this valley and region, we
leave it, aa we alYwjys- do other and
distant points, feeling impressed that
"there is no place like Lome" JVe
braska! With her rich, boundless,
fertile acres, she cannot fall to beoome
In time, one.of the greatest producing
States in the Union, and consequent
ly wealthy and populous.

Mr. Howe's Vindication.
"We think that the great majority
of readers of this journal will agree
with us that no more admirable polit
ical document has been addressed to
loyal voters than Hon. Church
Howe's letter, published in yester
day's Republican It was admirable
alike in spirit, in manner and iu sub-
jeot-matter. It is not merely a "cam
paign document," it is a vindication
of a great party's natioual policy
through a quarter of a century of su
premacy, and of the causes and prin
ciples which led to that policy through
another preceding quarter of a centu
ry. Its effect must be to revive and
strengthen the true spirit of republi
can unity that is, the sentiment of
loyalty. But beyond this its added
effect will be to extend outside the
party, and induce sensible andsincere
patriots wno nave aotea "independ
ently in local affairs" to accompany
Mr. Howe in his return to the repub
lican party. To all such in Nebraska
or elsewhere it is a friendly admon
ition, a loyal exhortation, and it
should have the effect of an all com
pelling inducement to act with the
party of national union, and of the
citizen's freedom in the preliminary
campaign of this fall, and in thegrand
fight of next year, which must take
rank among "the decisive battles of
history" in this republic.
Mr. Howe has performed a great
public service in his appeal; and
speakinginall sinoeritvand with deep
conviction, the Republican on the re
publican party's and the country's be
half thanks him for his frank, earnpst
and eloquent words. Omaha Repub

Hopeless English Crops.
New York, Aug. 20 A gentleman
just returned from Europe by the
steamship City of New York, describes
the crop prospects of Europe as abso
lutely hopeless.
"It was not until after seven weeks
of journeying in England and on the
continent," he said, "that Isaw a day
of sunahine. It was rain, mist, or
cloud all the time." He describes
the crops in England as ruined and
the farmers discouraged. In Europe
the condition is not much better.
The soil full of moisture. This mis
fortune will benefit the American far
mer. The demand from Europe for
grain will be immense, and draw heav
ily on the magnificent crops here.
Hia view of European affairs is very
discouraging, and he prophesies evil
for the United States. Tho poor of
England and the continent are worse
off than ever before. Tens of thou
sands of workingmen are out of em
ployment, and not likely to get any
for months. To avoid riots and dan
gerous discontent, the authorities will
aid in getting these people to Ameri
ca. As a result, we shall have an
Immigration greater than known for
years, aud the people who come will
oompete with the laborers here, who
now complain of too low wages It
is an evil which, he says, Is sure to
follow tho misfortunes whioh have be
fallen the old countries.
