We -ask why is it that these men, who have seen and felt the effects of rebellion, continue to uphold the very doctrines that caused the war? It is well under stood that the Democratic party advo and it is just as well understood that that doctrine was the foundation of the rebellion. Do these men, who have so lately been compelled to leave their homes, and some even to abandon all their property in consequence of their sympathy with treason, yet fail to see the tendencies and consequences of this States Rights doctrine; or have they not tried the project to their entire sat isfaction. Do they desire to pay to the people of Nebraska that they have only been beaten in the field, and are not yet satisfied with the result of tho con test? Do they desire to throw down the glove to the loyal people of this Territory, and eny that they are anxious to again try their fortunes upon the doc trine of States Rights and State Sov ereignty? We had been led to believe that a part, at least, of those who have seen and felt the horrible devastation of civil war, would not again array themselves against the power that bad so lately crushed them and caused them xo flee from their native homes. It is a well established fact that the Union party alone sustained and carried on the war that crushed the rebellion; and the fact that these men have arrayed themselves in solid phalanx against this party, goes far to prove that the spirit of rebellion is still alive in them, and only waits an opportunity to again show atself in a more tangible form. We do not pretend to say that these men are all rebels at heart; but we do say that, according to our judgment, the doc trines they are assisting to uphold are the very ground-work of rebellion. We do not believe the Government can ever be considered safe from internal strife And rebellion so long as there is a par ty that maintains the doctrine that the claims of the State governments are paramount to those of the general gov ernment; and until the Democratic party shall abandon this heresy, we shall consider them unsafe to trust with the ruling power in the land. JJS?" We understand that one of the candidates on the Democratic ticket was denouncing, on election day, the administration of Abraham Lincoln as one of the "most damnable and corrupt" that was ever known; and said that the administration of James Buchanan was .a "star of light" compared to it. Their real seniimenis will come out occasion ally, and this is one of the instances. Mark these things down in your "book of remembrance," loyal Democrats, and study over them until another .ejection. TERRITORIAL ELECTIOX. The Territory has given from 350 to 50C Union majority. We are not in possession cf the official-vote, there fore give our readers the result as near as rossible. v . J "Kountze s majority will probably, be a u;nu a. nnn- nillpsniVs about 200. - .GLAD OF IT I . We have yet to see the first Demo crat who does not say he is glad slavery is abolished, and yet none of them would lend a helping hand while the work was going on. ;,.They continually cried "abolitionist," 'nigger thief." &c, to those who were calling for the liber ation of the black race; and yet they say now they were always opposed to slavery, and are glad the slaves are liberated. Even now, when they wish to apply an opprobrious epithet to a Union man they will cry out "abolition ist," and in the same breath say they are glad slavery is abolished. The Democratic party bitterly opposed the war, and done all in their power to render futile the efforts of Mr. Lin coln's administration to crush the rebel lion; they declared it a "failure" just at the time they knew our armies needed all the encouragement and support of the nation; and yet you cannot find one of thexn now but will say he is glad the Union armies succeeded, and that he was always opposed to the rebellion. This party denounced Andy Johnson as a miserable drunken sot at the time of his inauguration as Vice-President; and, up to the time of his taking the Presidential chair, there were hardly words sufficient in the vocabulary with which to abuse him; now they pretend to claim him as the time-honoied expo nent of their faith. In fact, they ap pear to adapt themselves so easily to every circumstance and situation which looks like giving them power, that we are daily expecting to hear them declare iu favor of negro suffrage; and, should the elective franchise ever be granted to the black race in the South, we have not the shadow of a doubt they will cry out "glad of it," and say they al ways favored it. J5"Ion. John A. Kasson, member of Congress from the DesMoines dis trict in Iowa, who accompanied Major General Dodge west, made a speech in Central City, in which he took strong grounds in favor of a determined and coercive policy with the Indians. He thinks that they should be made to feel the power of the white man, and be uiugm max taey cannot murder and rob at their pleasure. He says it would be "unmanly, unchristian and indecent" to offer them terms of peace before they are severely punished. He also favors the policy cf transacting all business with the Indians through the military, and entirely abandoning our present agency system. We are glad Mr. Kasson has raised his voice in favor of the hardy pioneer, and if a few more of our leading men' will visit the west and see the practical workings of our Indian troubles, we doubt not the do nothing policy and the idea of "treating" the Indians every time they kill a white man will soon .be done away with. It is all very fine to stay in the east and theorize about the best mode of patify- ing-the Indians, but tvhen our Congress men and others who have a hand in these affairs travel through the Indian country and take their chances of being scalped, then they can begin to see the beauty of allowing these red devils to go unpunished, and can, in a very re mote degree, understand the constant dread in which our frontier settlers are compelled to live. Let a few more of them come out this way, and that Sand Creek affair will soon begin to look less hideous in their eyes. Cass Coujt it. The gallant Democ racy of Cass county have gained over one hundred votes this year, and may have elected a part of their ticket. Will publish returns soon as heard. JWbraska City JVtu'-s. How are you, gallant Democracy? The returns can be seen in to-day's IIlBALD. A EIGHT VOTE. The county of Otoe only polls about Twelve Hundred votes this fall. It should and could poll if the voters were at home and would attend the election two thousand votes. JYcws. We suppose the only reason they did not poll the 2,000 votes was because the balance of their men had not yet arrived from Missouri. Cox, the Union candidate for Governor in Ohio, has been elected by 25,000 majority. The vote of the State was much lighter than last jear. He received 3,500 majority in Hamilton county. At the charter election in New ark, N. J., the Unionists carried the day. by 8,000 majority a gain of 1 200 over the election of last November. . Major-Gen.

SIIERJUA'S SPEECH AT DES 5IOEYES. During the stay of Gen. Sherman at Des Moines, by request of prominent citizens, he appeared one afternoon at the Court IIou-e. A large audience was iu attendance. Mayor Cleveland made a few good remarks, introducing the General to the audience, and the General in reply, sail: "I like to see soldiers, and thank you, citizens, for this welcome. You want to see me, and I tell you to take my brothers as representatives of the Sherman family. I hope ihey will keep up the stock. Twenty odd years ago I told my brothers to come to your place and settle; that this valley of the Mississippi was bound together. My life has been an errutic one. I have been for years in the service, and I rested in Louisiana la?i, and felt thai a few millions of negroes could not sepa rate Louisiana and Iowa. When the war broke out I tendered my services in Kentucky. I told my superiors I needed so many men. They thought I was wrong, and I went under, and sev eral times during the war I have, by newspaper accounts aud official notice. done the same thing. I will say this : when on my last Southsrn trip I had on paper 300,000 men, you know many of those men were here on sick leave, furlough, detached service, etc. By the aid of brave soldiers I did my work. I am now exalted. A few days and I may be unpopular, but I think more of those friends who stood by me when I was down, than thosr whj cheer me when I am up. We fought for the in tegrity of the Union, and the soldiers with me would have foucht, and their children after me, for the same. And now allow me, after this reception, to spend the few days left cf my stay in quietness and peace." The crowd rushed forward and the General shook hands a squeezing pro cess for an hour or more with them. and then retired. FIRE IV ST. JOSEPH The St. Joseph Herald, of the Gih inst., says : About dark last evening the people of our city were suddenly startled with the alarm of fire, and in a few minutes great sheets of flame were seen issuing from the extensive drug store of Messrs. Penick &. Loving. In a short time the flames had communicated to the china and queensnare house of II. B. Ketch am, Esq., and both were wrapped in the devouring element. . In less than twenty minutes after the first alarm, at least five thousand people had gathered on Market Square and Second street. There was not the least disturbance, but as many as could get at the build:, ings went earnestly to work to remove the goods. The fire spread so rapidly however, thst but two or three thousand dollars worth were got out of Penick & Loving's, and perhaps four thousand dollars worth out of Ketcham's. The value of the latter's stock was probably S35.000, nnd is fully insured. Penick & Loving had in their build ing about 875,000 worth of stock, which was insured to about $35,000. At one time it was thought the entire block from Felix to Francis street must have a like fate, but the high, and heavy fire-wall of Penick & Loving's store stayed the flames to a great ex tent, and prevented them from reaching the adjoining buildings. , But tho dan ger seemed so imminent that a number of stores were speedily emptied of their contents, and several of the build ings torn down. This will entail quite a loss on the parties, in damage and loss of goods, and in the destruction of their places of business. The fire is altogether one of tho most destructive that has accurred in ourcity for many years, and the loss can hardly fall short of SI 00,000. The steam fire engine did not reach the ground until the two main stores were entirely covered with fire, and could not le worked to any advantage after it did arrive, for the lack of a suf ficient quantity of hose.' The heaviest sufferers are Penick So Loving, who lose near 540,000, and the check to their business, and to that of Mr. Ketrham will be very serious, from the fact that their stocks cannot be replaced for same time to come. We learn that both firms will imme d'ately commence the erection of new buildings, and resume business again, at their old plnces, as speedily as pos sible. In the meantime they will to-day secure houses and open up at once, aud orders for more goods will be sent off by telegraph. , GEN". CONNOR'S EXPEDITION. Dispatches from Fort Laramie cf the 1st inst. state: Gen. Connor returned Saturday from the Powder river Indian expedition. His column will be here in six days. The result of the campaign is four pitched battles with the Cheyennes, Sioux and Arapahoes, with a loss on Michigan, and twenty-four men killed and two wounded. The Indian loss is 400 to 500 killed, and a large number wounded; entire destruction of the vil lage of the Arapnhoes, and the cap ture of 500 head of horses and mules The Arapahoe acknowledge a luss of 6S braves in one battle, and all are now coming in to make peace. It is thought, however, that the Sioux and Cheyennes are not half whipped, and that not less than 1.500 men should be stationed at Fort Connor and the cam paign be continued ia winter. Citizens are now fearful that the Sioux and Cheyennes will come back on the road and interfere with the mail und tele graph. The expedition has been under most embarrassing circumstances, not a pound of stores for the expedition arriving in time for use. The troops are mutinous, claiming their discharge because the rebellion has ceased, and regiments were ordered to be mustered out as rapidly as they arrived on the plains. ESP'The steamship Daniel Webster from New Orleans the 22nd ult., re ports that Dr. Mudd had made an at tempt to escape from the Dry Tortugas. He was found secreted ia the coal bunkers of the steamer Thus. Scott, and put to hard labor wneeling sand. The Quartermaster of the Scott was arrested for aiding Mudd in his efforts to escape. EGf" In a letter to the Omaha Re publican, dated on board the steamer Calypso, mouth of White river, October 3d, Col. E. B. Taylor says: AH the information which reaches us from above leads to the belief that the various Indian tribes of the Upper Missouri, which have hitherto been re garded as hostile, are now anxious for peace not so much on account of any chastisement which they have received, as from the fact that, pursued as they have been, for several years, by the various military expeditions which have been sent against them, they have had little time to devote to the hunt, and are therefore upon tho point of starvation. It is becoming, with these roving bands, a question of bread and meat; and any proposition from the authorized repre sentatives of the Government, which promises immunity from further pur suit by the military, and affords a rea sonable guaranty of subsisenlce, will no doubt be favorably considered, and in the end, accepted. An Indian's fears, no less than his affections, can be reach ed most readily through his stomach. j Give him plenty to eat and the asperi ties of his nature become wonderfully softened. Whatever may be the per manent result oi our negotiations with the various tribes which are awaiting our arrival at Fort Sully, we shall at least have no trouble with them while j the rations hold out. A flag of truce! these fellows have no regard for; but a ! cargo of rations they profoundly respect CSCy General C-ustis Lee, a son of the late Ccmmander-in-Chief of tho rebel armies, has been appointed Pro fessor in the Virginia Military Institute, to fill the chair formerly occupied by Stonewall Jackson. PGen. Grant has hdvised th Secretary of War to discharge at least 100 more general officers, Majors and Brigadier-Generals.'with their staffs. He also advised the muster out of near ly all the negro troops. ' EST A letter from Spangler, one of the parties convicted of conspiracy to assassinate President Lincoln, dated Tortugas, September 15th. is published. He says: Before God and all that is sacred I am perfectly innocent of all the charges and specifications brought against me by the prosecution. I had no knowledge or idea of anything, nor did I aid or assist the villain or as?assin of the President, either before or af:erthe as sassination.
