A few days ago one of the ward reg
istrars of Omaha, appointed under the
State law, lost his registration book.
After the book had been gone a few
days, the registrar in the meantime ad
vertising for knowledge of its where
abouts, it w;is traced to Edward Rose
water, editor of the Bee, and he was,
after some trouble, forced to give it up;
whereupon he was arrested for steal
ing the book and placed under bond to
appear before the district court to be
dealt with for the offense. The law
fixes the penalty for the demeanor at
not to exceed $300 fine or not more
than three months in the county jail,
or both fine and imprisonment. The
registrar thinks Rosewater got into
his office by crawling in through a
window which could only be reached
from the outside by climbingrup a lad
der. Rosewater has by arbitrary and
unprecedented measures placed him
self at the head of the county central
committee, and inaugurated a scheme
of reistration for the Republican party
of Douglas county which was especial
ly offensive to a majority of the part',
and they would not register their
names nor submit to the arbitrary
rules and doctrines of the obnoxious
and hypocritical Rosewater. This he
has at :i late day found out, so in back
ing down from his law that required
every Republican in the city to regis
ter his own name, he concluded to try
to obviate the difficulty by entering all
the names on his list himself, but to be
as quiet about his surrender as possi
ble. Tin's, we presume is the reason
he ventured upon the criminal course
of stalling the registrar's book instead
of the more manly way of borrowing
it or asking permission of the ollicer to
copy the names. "We would like to
know what Rosewater would not do
to accomplish his political purposes.
The Democrats have much to say
about Hancock placing the civil law
above the military while he was the
hero of the bulldozers by order of An
dy Johnson. Rut the truth is he then
and there acted contrary to this senti
ment by removing officers elected un
der the civil law. He simply with
the power of the bayonetremoved Re
publicans and put Democrats in their
places. And how was this superior
civil law doctrine carried out in Mrs.
Surratt's case? Hancock could have
got rid of the duty of executing that
woman, in an honorable manner by
obeying the writ of habeas corpus, that
takes precedence over all other writs
of the criminal law, and delivering up
the wretched old woman to the civil
authorities. But Hancock disobeyed
the writ, preferring to hang the woman
himself. The Freeman's Journal and
Catholic Register, no longer ago than
last March speaking of the probabili
ties of Hancock's nomination, said:
"That he did not heed the supposed
law of the United States that the civil
is always above the militarv." "The
popular or civil objection to Gen. Han
cock is not that he transmitted an or
der from Secretary Stanton to Hart-
ranft to hang an innocent woman, but
that he disregarded the writ of writs.'
"That writ was served on Gen. Han
cock. Had he obeyed it he would in
all probability have been President of
the United States."
Rut he disobeyed the writ, and in all
probability will never be President of
the United Slates.
One day last wcekayoungman asked
us if we had been a prisoner in Ander
sonville. Upon answering in the affir
mative, he said that his father, a mem
ber of tho loth Iowa, died of starvation
in that hell on earth, and that he could
remember seeing his father but once,
when homo upon a furlough, and but
a child ; that his father was soon after
capt tired and sent to Andersonville, to
starve and die. "We told the young
man that such as he made stalwart
Republicans. "With an emphasis that
evidenced his deep feeling, he made
reply, that he would as soon vote for
Jeff Davis sis for Hancock, or any man
wlro would forget the past, and go over
to the solid South which repented
nothing, regretted nothing, but justified
and defended such damnable treatment
as was meted out at Andersonville.
North Platte Nebraskiait.
We have no doubt that that soldier
is right in saying he would as soon vote
for the arch traitor atonco as Hancock.
.Jen. Davis would not make a worse
President than Hancock. Either
would simply serve the wishes of the
rebels, and administer tlio government
according to the Southern Democratic
programme. It is not the figurehead
that is put up to attract attention but
tho long haired bowie knifed crowd
that hoists the figurehead, thatdeserves
attention. Or, what would be the diff
erence if Davis or Hampton should oc
cupy the chair or stand just behind it
with Hancock in it? That's what's
the matter.
The Democratic papers, not one of
them, that charge Garfield with wrong
doing fn the Credit Mobiffer matter,
have vet published Oakes Ames testi
mony, and they dare not, as it would
give the lie to their assertions and often
repeated charges. Oakes Ames' testi
mony does not convict Gen. Garfield of
any wrong and. so the committee re
ported. The Granger has been over and
over again defied by us to publish
Ames' testimony in full, with the full
finding of the connutttee bearing upon
the act and, intent of GarfieftT and oth
ers, yet that unfair and dishonest sheet
as persistently refuses to do so. All it
has ever dared do was to publish ex
tracts from tho report garbled to suit
its groundless case.
Inter Ocean: The States of the
South, one by one, are paying their
bonded debts by a wet sponge across the

Nobody but Democrats believe that
South Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky,
&c, have advanced in population in
the last ten years more rapidly than
even Kansas or Xebraska, yet the Dem
ocratic census takers have reported
that it is a fact.
According to the Republican, Rose
water is a thief and the Omaha Herald
is a thief, the Rejmblican being the par
ty who in both instances hits detected
the criminals. "We suppose this is on
the principle that it takes a thief to

It appears that the thief was caught
all the same.
The Xew York Times recently re
ceived letters regarding the situation,
from thirty-four of the fifty-eight
counties of that State, from reliable
gentlemen; and without an exception
they report the prospects for Republi
can success as most encouraging. All
Republican elements are united. The
soldiers are not going to vote for Han
cock as the Democrats have hoped, and
the Republicans are having accessions
from tiie Democrats, independents,
conservatives and greenback ers. There
is hardly a doubt of Garfield and Ar
thur sweeping the State by a very de
cisive majority.
Mr. G. AV. Kendall, of Omaha, was
formerly a resident of McGregor, Iowa,
and says the "old man recently arrested
as Render, is not one of the founders of
that town as he claimed, nor even a son
of them. Mr. K. knows the where
abouts of all those McGregors. -The
Omaha Bee speaking of this matter
says:
Mr. Kendall is convinced that while
this part of their story was false, the
prisoners were really the genuine Ren
ders, and that the reason they were not
identified was that the ruin of the
butchers of Cherryvale meant the ruin
of two-thirds of the population of that
vicinity, who were more or less bound
up with the fate of the fiends and fear
ed a confession from them before they
could be executed.
A very plausible theory.
"Wo copy the following, from the
Kansas Chief, because there are about
ten ton of solid truth in it:
It now transpires that Gen. Hancock's
name is cabbaged, as well as some of
his laurels. An investigation reveals
the fact that his father was an illegiti
mate son, and that his real name was
Roberts. Hence, the Democratic can
didate for President is Winlield Scott
Roberts. Now, this is no disgrace to
Gen. Hancock, and makes but little
difference; but when we remember
that Henry "Wilson was in the same
lx, and that the Democratic papers
twitted him as Jeremiah Colbaith, year
in and year out, and even threw it af
ter him in his grave, it is well enough
to remind them that" their man Roberts
has stolen the name of John Hancock,
and even pretended to be a descendant
of that patriarch; that he has attempt
ed to steal the laurals of Gen. Meade;
and that he is now bent upon stealing
the Presidency from Garfield, by means
of bulldozing and ballot-box stuffing.
Yet, he is "superb!"
It is now said, and we rely on the au
thority, that the Union Pacific railroad
company will have a direct east and
west line over the old survey of the
Brownville and Fort Kearney survey
before snow flies. This looks as if Jay
Gould meant business with his air line
road from Quinc Illinois, to Chicago,
which company was formed last week.
The road was finished to within eighty
five miles of Brownville, and the road
bed is graded from Brownville to Te
cumseh. This will be, when finished,
the most direct line from Kearney to
Chicago that could be gotten. It is al
most an air line. Beatrice Courier.
About the first of September a large
force of construction hands will go to
work to rush the road to a junction
with the St. Louis and Council Bluffs
road, at a point aboutfforty miles di
rectly east of Brownville. That may be
done before snow flies, but we fear
there will be several snow flies ere it
reaches the Missouri river. The indi
cations are, however, more flattering
than they have been for years that the
completion of this line to Kearney or
some other point west of us, is one of
Jay Gould's ncxtjjontemplated enter
prises. i i

John I. Redick, although considered
smart is certainly very fickle and un
sound so far as principle is concerned.
Refore the Chicago convention he was
crazy for Grant's nomination, but when
he went to the convention and saw
Garfield from that moment he was a
Garfield man, as he said in his remarks
at the ratification meeting at Omaha.
At that Meeting he said:
I had the pleasure of attending the
Chicago convention and seeing- and
hearing some of the great men in this
country Conkling, Frye, Rrooks', Hale
and nearly all the great men of the Re
publican party, and among them I
heard James A. Garfield. And after I
had heard him take the platform and
show his fairness when that .question
arose about the delegates from Virgin
ia under the resolution of Conkling,
from that time till now I have been a
Garfield man. I regard our
present nominee as the greatest luan of
them all. If any one man showed him
self greater than another, that man was
Garfield. He showed ability and judg
ment, honesty and firmness in every
move that he made. He refused', to
cast his vote in his own favor. I .be
lieve he told the truth when he said he
came not there for himself but for
some one else. History says he is no
torious for modestly keeping himself
in the background. I came back here
gentlemen from Chicago after having
lost a million on Grant, Laughter
but I am going to reimburse myselfon
Garfield in November. It is not right
to take a man who can carry one, two
or three states, but one who can carpy
as many states as are required for his
election. You must not have a man
who can carry New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio or Maine alone, but a man
that people everywhere will go for, and
James A. Garfield is that man. Take
Ohio aud ask yourself why it is im
portant for that state to be carried. It
is one of the doubtful states, and Mr.
Garfield will carry it. He is popular
in Ohio anil democrats concede the
state to him. After the convention we
had the congratulations of Grant men
and Blaine men and men everywhere,
and it is fair to presume that Garfield
will cany New York and Pennsylva
nia, and if he does that we feel sure
that victory will be ours.
Garfield bears the reputation of an hon
est man. He made himself. It is said
that ho received no education until
after he was married and then his wife
assisted him. He came out after he
was twentv-ono and educated himself.
He went to the war, worked himself
up to a brigadiership, was elected to
..-,
congress and then to the senate. I sav
we have no man who can be put forth
at a greater advantage than Garfield. I
am satisfied with the action of the con
vention and all the republicans ought
to be. The convention, in
their wisdom, have selected what they
believed to be the best choice, and we
can elect Garfield by as large a majori
ty as we could have elected Grant.
It is questionable if urn financial af
fairs of the country could be better
than they are. Greenbacks, silver, gold.
National bank notes, silver-certificates
are of equal value and interchangeable;
and the quantity of money in circula
tion seems to be ample for the demands
of commerce, and all business demands
in all parts of the country. For any
party now to attempt any important
change would be dangerous. This fi
nancial system has been inaugurated
and made successful under Republican
administration and as the result of de
clared Republican doctrine as opposed
to declared Democratic doctrine. It
was Republican brains that conceived
the idea of resumption of specie pay
ments at an early period and fixed a
time for it to operate The Democrats,
in their platform of 1S70, demanded a
repeal of the law for resumption, thus
going upon tho record as distinctly an
tagonizing the theory aud the law.
Hence Republican principle has given
the country the best financial system
ever conceived and the best money
that ever circulated in this Nation.
With a change of administration it is
reasonable to believo would come a
tampering with tiie currency question,
aud then, as is usually the case when
people j are not content to let well
enough alone, the finances would be
made worse instead of better. Gener
al Garfield has explicitly stated to the
country what he thinks about it, and
that is that the country is in a splendid
financial condition, and for continued
confidence it should not be materially
meddled with. What General Han
cock's opinions and doctrines are no
one knows. If he has any opinion re
garding, greenbacks, silver, and Nation
al banks, he carfully keeps them to
himself. The probability is his ad
visers will be expected by him to at
tend to such business :is finances.
General Hancock having already made
his money ,"and received it in gold, be
ing a millionaire, he is no doubt a
hard money man believing in a single
gold standard. But it is unnecessary
for the people to take trouble about
what Hancock may think or what he
might do. They may do tho safe and
sure thing without taking any chan
ces. This can only be done by electing
Garfield and Arthur, thus keeping the
financial management in the hands of
a itepuuucan administration.

Mr. Morton chairman Nebraska
Democratic State Central Committee,
publishes a card in the Omaha Herald
in which he says the Democratic Cen
tral Committee wants no money as a
campaign fund. This is accounted for
when we remember that the party is
Jiatist, and it may bo that is the style
Morton proposes to conduct the cam
paign. But as Morton and Miller have
both recently been in New York, and
the Herald itself announces that Sam-

that some of ttiat bar'l is to be used in

The fatal feature in the Democratic
situation is that, no matter what inav

what mass meeting resolutions may

is compelled to confront a dismal story

Bepublican and Democratic Economy.
"Washington, Aug. 12. The Treas
ury Department has published a state
'ment showing the amount of the an
nual appropriations made by Congress
for each fiscal year lrom 1S73 to 1SS1,
inclusive, together with the coin value
of such appropriations, computed upon
the average prices of gold for each
week in question. The amounts in
coin value were as follows, in round
number: For 1S7:J, Si:$4,000,000; 1S74,
$153,000,000; 1S75, i:!7,000,000 ; 1S70,
S 1211,000,000; for 1877, 115,000,000; for
1S7S,$0,000,000; for 1S7D, $171,000,000;
forlSSO, $102,000,000; for 1SS1, $154,
000.000. The smallness of the sum
for 1S7S was occasioned by the refusal
of the Democrats to vote appropria
tions for the support of the army and
other pin poses. A comparison of the
amounts appropriated in 1SS0 and 1S81
by the Democrats in the fullness of
their power, with the amounts appro
priated in 1873-4 by the Republicans,
shows how little foundation there is
for the assertion so often made by the
Democrats, that they have been econo
mical by reducing the appropriations.
The appropriations made m the years
1S73-4-5 were in each case less Mian
those madebv the Democrats in 1SS0-S1.
The Democratic appropriations of 1SS0
exceed the Republican appropriations
of 1873 by $28,000,000, those of 1S74 by
$!),000,000, and those of 1875 by 25,
000,000. Tho Democratic apporpria
tions of 18S1 exceed the Republican
appropriations of 1S73 by $20,000,000,
and those of 1S75 by $17000,000. The
appropriations for rivers and harbors
in 1873-1-5 averaged about ?t,000,000
per year. The average in the years
1S7!)", 18S0, and 1SS1 was a little short
of $0,000,000. For the protection of
the coast line and our great cities by
forts and fortifications there was appro
priated in 1S73-4-5, nearly $5,000,000.
In 1870-S0-81 the sum appropriated for
these purposes was only $1,100,000, or
an average of less than $100,000 per
vear. The statement furnishes niater-
ial for many
interesting
comparisons.
Silver Gertificai.es.
A special from Washington to the
Inter Oceansnys: There has been such
a demand for bills recently from New
York that inquiry has been made to
the Treasury for silver certificates. Ac
cording to law these certificates can
only be issued in return for silver de
posited, or may be paid out at tho op
tion of the receiver. These parties now
ask. however, whether the Secretary
. , , -
will issue them in return for gold coin
It appears that this coin is a drag and
inconvenience in the transaction of
business, while in limited amounts
silver certificates can be uad and are
taken up readily in the ordinary chan
nels of trade, even where silver dol
lars cannot be made to circulate. They
are issued m denominations of ten dol
lars .only, and at but three places,
AVasliington, San Francisco, anil New
York. If, however, they are exchanged
for gold coin, the trade will be final
and absolute, though of course that
would not hinder the certificates from
finding their way back to the Treasury
in the ordinary waj", only that the Sec
retary could not simply lend certificates
for the sake of holding gold, subject to
recall again should it be desired to re
turn the paper again to the Treasury,
Such a process would involve the open
ing of a new set of books, and, in time,
might afford means of speculation to
brokers at the expense of the govern
ment in the fluctuation in the price, of
bullion. It is a gratifying proof of the
permanence and thoroughness of prac
tical resumption, when the holders of
gold offer to trade it for paper not a le
gal tender.
The colored people of Montgomery
Ala., have issued the following call :
Great dissatisfaction exists through
out the whole country among the col
ored people as to the way they were
treated at the last election, where they
cast as solid a Republican vote as ever
before, being united, without any dis
sension in their ranks; claiming that
they csist at least as large a vote as in
1870, where the Republican majority
in this county was 3,SS1. while it was
changed this time to a Democratic ma
jority of nearly 2,700, obtained by the
most outrageous frauds, the use of
"troops at the polls," the arbitrary
throwing out of four beats with
Republican majorities, etc.
large
We, the undersigned, a committee of
a colonization society, which has been
formed to devise ways and means to
assist our colored friends all over this
county to leave the country, if they
can not get their rights, guaranteed to
them by the constitution of this State
and of the United States, call on you to
assemble in mass meeting here, in the
city of Montgomery, on the fourth
Saturday in September, the 25th of
aepiemoer, ac i:s m., ami to express in
tones, not tube misunderstood, your de
termination to insist on your rights,
and if they are denied to you, to quiet
ly leave, and seek homes in a land
where they will be cheerfully guaran
teed to every man, irrespective of his
color or political opinions.
We are satisfied, in our own mind,
that the majority of the white people
of this county, especially the planters,
men who know that they cannot cul
tivate their plantations successfully
without colored labor, are opposed to
those stupendous frauds alluded to
above, and would be willing to give us
our political and civil rights, but we
are sorry to say that they are powerless,
and have no control over the ring of
unscrupulous politicians who run
roughshod over this county. A last
chance is given to them and to us, and
that will be the next Presidential elec
tion in November. We love Alabama,
and we would like to stay and to die
in the land where most of us were born,
and where the graves of our ancestors
lie; but, after we were made free men,
we love our freedom and our rights
more, and are determined, in the most
peaceable way, to get them respected,
and to be ourselves and our children
free men for all time to come. Don't
send delegates, but come one, come all,
to the mass meeting, here in Montgom
ery City, on the 25th of September,
18S0.
Granny Tipton, renegade republican,
who is just now engaged in preaching
states rights to the good people of Ne
braska, wsis at Crete last Tuesday
night. We have been told by some
democratic gentlemen who went from
this place to hear him, that his -speech
was a very flimsy affair. We know
about what it was, as we have often
heard it, and like our democratic
friends, would pronounce it the pettish
wail of a sorehead, in his dotage, who
has in his own imagination been per
sonally wronged by some member of
the republican party, and for that reason
changes his complexion, becoming a
democrat. Mr. Tipton's speeches are
a great help to the republican party.

AGreenbacker's Experience.
J. II. Randall, Greenback campaign
orator, has written a letter relating his
experiences in Alabama. He went
to Kizer Hall, to a barbecue and joint
discussion between Democrats aud
Greenbackers. Of course he got the
worst of it. He says of the first Dem
ocratic orator: "In the course of his
speech he said: -The Confederacy still
exists, rav friends, and Jeff Davis, the
best President and devoted to our
interests, and if Hancock is elected,
and we have no doubt he will be, you
will be paid tor all property you have
lost through Radical rule, and you must
stand by "the great Democratic par
ty, lor a SOlHiaoiUlI WUl give us rauii;
control of the General Government, and
we can redress all our wrongs.' His thirty-minute
speech was almost entirely
of this order. As soon as we report
ed, it was decided that we speak in be
half of the Greenback party one hour
and fifteen minutes and that Mr. Tay
lor, of Butler, reply to us in the samo
time. We opened our case in a calm
and pleasant appeal to everybody not
to applaud but to give us close atten
tion while we presented the lacts in
relation to tho present situation,
and we soon had engaged the serious
and earnest attention of everybody on
the ground within hearing of our vokv,
when a man remarked, 'We don't want
no d n Yankee to come here and ta'k
to us: we had bettershut hiin up." Tii
next thing was for a band from the
neighboring town ofShubudato strike
up, and the Committee of Arranage
ment claim thev could not stop it, nor
did not."
He next went to Shubuda. and he
describes his greeting :i$ follows:1
"There's the Greenbacker now d n
him;" "Three cheers for Hancock ;"1
"G-d d-n Yankee Gieonbacker, he,
ought to be killed;" "Let's give him
hell," and some other phrases of like i
character, ""ft e quietly passed on and
said nothing, being followed part of
the wav bv young men, yellii g at us
as they baited fifty yards from our
team. In about ten minutes a young
man well diessed and perfectly sober,
separated from a group, came up to us.
and we had, as near as we can remem
ber, the following conversation:
M. B. D. (which means Mississippi
bull dozer) Is your name Randall?
Yes, sir.
M. B. D. Are you Randall the great
Greenback speaker?
I exnect I am.
M. B. D. I have
quested to give you,
a note T was re
, Read it and give
me your answer.
Very well, sir.
We "took the note, written on a leaf
torn from a pocket memorandum, and
read as follows:
August 1, 1SS0.
Dear Sir: We will give you and your
paid thirty-five minutes to pick up
your duds and git out of this town.
Yours to death.
Tin: Boys ok Shuisuda.
"Do you mean to tell me that an
American law-abiding citizen, on
the way to attend to his business
cannot stay in this town to take the
first train of cars going South."
M. B. D. We know you, and you
can't stay. You must go to the next
station.
"Who gives this order?"
M. B. 1), The boys of Shubuda.
Your time is passing; you better get
along, or you'll catch hell.
Mr. Randall understood this as an
indication that the people of Shubuda
did not desire him to expound Green
back theories in that neighborlod.
A PAKTV OK HATE AND MAMCIi.
Since the Alabama election the
National View, a Greenback argan.has
been pouring hot shot into the ranks of
the shot-nun Democracy. The follow-1
ing is from that paper;
"Accounts from Alabama come to us
filled with evidences of the frauds prac
ticed in the late election. The most
shameless and open discrepancies exist
between the ballots cast and those
I counted. At Uuntsville an amount of
suppression and intimidation equal to
thai used in the worst days of recon
struction were openly earned on. Com
ment upon these things without more
positive action does very little good.
The party who condemn these outrage
ous abuses, be they committed by who
they may, has a hard work before it
but it must be accomplished. The ex
ecution of laws themselves must be
such as to prevent similar action by
any party. That party which parades
a platform sonorously quoted by the
man who voted to protect brute force
in Congress, which declares for a free
ballot, and leads its forces to such a
victory as that gained in Alabama, is
a party of hate, of malice, and the
protector of the worst crime known to
nations treacherous subversion of the
people's will. Work against it.
against it. Refuae its alliance,
tiie honest men come out of it."

A Straw.
Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. lti. A spec
ial election was held to-day in the Sixth
Ward, which is of special interest. A
Democratic Councilman having resign
ed, David Philips, Republican, was
elected by S2 majority over Ernest
Bleemel, Democratic. Both parties
contested the election vigorously, and
brought out a full vote. The ward is
inhabited mostly by railroad men and
iron workers. The Republicans gain
a majority of the Council, and the con
trol of the city is transferred to them.
The result is regarded of great impor
tance. The greenback vote, which
used to be strong in the ward, was
distributed between the old parties.
The Republicans are jubilant.
