A government corn contract has leen
let, thc.com to be tipped from Omaha,
and delivered. al different places westj
of the Missouri river. The contract
was awarded to A. Kour.tze, atid the
xc-ern 50,000 buthels must go from
Omaha. J.R. Porter &. Co., of this
city, furnUhes 10,0.00 bushels of the
amount, and probably not less than
20,000 bushels, altogether, will go from
. tViJ rnnnlV. Now. what we with to
get al is why is it thit corn must go to j
Omaha.and transportation by that route.
The first part of the question h easily
answered; ;he freight goes to Omaha
.instead of riattsmouTh, because there
r ......, n,d power to that end ;
and ato who looses the extra expense,
it is the general government, of course.
To show how much this extra expense
is, we will present a few figures. We
will count on 20,000 bushels going from
this county alone. It cim about 10 or
15 cents a sack two bushel: to thTp
from here to Omaha"; there it must be
hauled to the Railroad, and then Rail
road transportation must be paid,
probably ten cents a sack before it is
ready to be londed into wagons.. Now,
.it is a well kown . fact that, freighters
' are offering to take freight from tAis
:eity immediately west for one cent on
,the pound less than they will tako it
from the western terminus of the Ta
.pific Railroad. : Such .being the case,
where or what is the ' advantage in
compelling this freight to go by way of
Omaha In what manner does the
general Government make back the
7 1-2 cent on the bushel, making
Sl-110 on 20,000 busheli freight fram
here to Omaha ; the 5 cents on a bush
el, or $1,000 on 20,000 bushels, freight
from Omaha to the end of the Rail
road; the? extra drayage at Omaha;
the one cent on a pound difference be
tveen transportation from this city
directly west and transportation from
the. end of the Railroad west This
little item of one cent on the pound
difference in freight makes the ofi
little sum of SI 1,200 on 20,000 busheU;
and the entire difference in cost of
sending ihe amount of com furnished
t from this county, on this one contract to
Omaha and thence west and sending it
, direct from this, city amounts to not ler's
than $14,000, besides the immense loss
: in handling fo many times. Now, we
would ask, why is it thnt this freight
cannot be taken directly west from this
city, and ihus save this $11,000 either
to the farmers of this county or to the
general government.

The above, from the Omaha Herald,
. thows to our mind that Mr. Woolworth
hat told the. Dr. more about the ''Cass
' County Infamy' than he cares to make
public- It dont say anything about
the fifteen illegal votes polled by the
democracy of this county, and the
probability of as many more. Hedon't
ay a word about one of the judges at
Koek Bluffs having had all his butter
and meat taken from him by the "ene'
my while residing in Missouri, but
haa the brazen effrontery to come out
in the face of facts that would blacken
the history of any party that ever ex-
is;ea except tne Uoloen Circle Democ
racy, and aay that "there never was a
ore honest ballot cast in any country
than that in Casijcounty.". He ignores
the worn testimony of Lieut. White
lock in regard to the eoldier rote, which
shows conclusively that was. s'rictly
. . , t r'cl'y
honest and fair. The. "infamy" part
of the proceedings is pretty well settled
in the minds of the people hero ; and
and we hope the Dr. will keep it stir
red,, for we dislike to do it on account
of some of our warm and petsor.ru
friend3 who have heretofore acted with
the Democracy. All we ask of the
Herald is to publish tlje substance of
the testimony given ly their own wit
nesses, cud we will risk the popular
verdict upon the course of the board of
canvassers.
THAT IIOBitY.
Morton still continues his tirade
against the Union soldiers with as much
persistency as he did during the re
bellion. The great majority of Dem
ocratic journalshave ceased to denounce
the soldiers, but the Democratic press
of Nebraska, at tha head of which
sttnds Julius S. Mortjn, have brcome
so imbued with the spirit of hatred to
wards them that it appears impossible
to cease the vilification, that has become
a second nature. Morton, in the J"cws
of the 29th ult., eutdocs himself in this
matter ; charging thai the entire sol
diers vote is a swindle. He attempts
to how that false returns were made,
hv distortion the truth. He insinuates
J w
that the name of "Adolphes Mone-
crtiy" was returned by the judges when
that gentleman was in Cass county on
ilie day ' election. lnis wou I go
down. Morton. The testimony in the
case shows that the gentleman in ques
lion did vote at the polls of Co'. "A.'
but not for members of the Legislature
fjr Cass county. And as to the certifi
cate of Capt. Gillette and the testimony
of Mr. Poland, it is all "in your eye."
Capt. Gillette never sent any such "cer
tificate," and Poland only testified that
there were several men voted whom
he not did know "whether they were
residents of Cass county or not ;" and
Lieut. Whiteloil: testified that he knew
that several of the men in question
were residents of this county. Thus
it will be seen"on what a slender
thread hang everlasting things." If
you dislike the soldiers, Julius, why
say so ; but do net attempt to disfran
chise them because they have been
engaged in killing your friends.
the is o civ uLurrs VOTE.
The investigation cf illegal and
fraudulent practice at this precinct du
ring the late election, which has been
held before Messrs Moore and Chap
man, of this city, closed this morning.
The testimony is quite voluminous and
will be laid before the State Legisla
ture without delay. One thing seems
to have been clearly proven, and that
is, that one of the judges had about as
much right to sit upon the rights of
Nebraska voters as old Beelzebub
voulj bars upon all of ua on rcourtec-
tion day. This fact alone upsets
the votes of that precinct beyond all
question. Aside from this, however,
enough of illegal votes have been prov
en to give the Union i;ominees their
seats. Action in the Legislature will,
no doubt, be lively and warm on. this
matter, and we expect some additional
vindication of soldiers vote3 from the

Already the southern corner of Silesia

Against them Austria had concen

3o0,000, which, by communications

The Italian force which has been

the date of our latet advices, supposed
not to fall short of 400,000- The reg

and thus isolite the Quadrilateral and
compel the garrisons to surrender.
The more important among the
minor German States,;as Bavaria, Wur
temburg. Saxony and Hanover, have
their full contingents of the federal
army, or evtn a larger force, under
arms. After the preparations already
made, it would not take long to have
the whole coutmgent or tne minor
States, which amounts to about 300,000,
ready to march. The Austrian army
on ihe frontier of Saxony and Silesia
could easily receive from these contin
gents nn addition of more than 100.000
men, whose efficiency will, however,
be found to be vastly inferior to the
armies of, either Austria or Prussia.
Altogether, it is probr.ble that when
the impending war between Prussia,
LAustria, Germany, and Italy begins,
more than 2,000,000 well dril.ed and
disciplined troops will bo hurled upon
each other. Nor is this all. Russia
seems to increase with great rapidity
her concentration of troops in Poland,
and to prepare to throw her vast power
into the scule. The Dtnulian Prin
cipalities will have an army of 50,000
men ready to dispute the invasion of
the Turks. The latter, in their turn,
ara concen'rating large forces to pre
pare not only for a war in the Dmu
bian Princ ipalities, but for a general
rising in th8 Christain provinces.
France is keeping her armaments
and military movements more secret
than any power ia Europe ; but it is
known that all the preparations for
concentrating a force of at least 100,
000 on the Rhine have been completed'
and the latest declaration of Louis Na
poleon again indicates that France will
not remain neutral if her interests de
mand it. 2Y. Y. Tribune.

One or two good crops of Food . and
cotton will be followed by the erection
of mills and factories all over the Al
leheny region of-the South, especial
ly in Northern Georgia and North
eastern Alabama. As to the North
wett, the JV'vtA American has this
cheering statement:
"Minnesota was admitted into the
Union as a Stale May 11, 1S53, with
an area of Sl,2o0 square miles. In
18-50 it contained G.077 inhabitants;
in 1S5-3, 68,812 ; in 1S57, 130,092 ;
in 18(50. 17C.535. In 18,30, the State
had SO sheep, and five manufacturing
establishments, with an annual product
of 657,500. We cite these particulars
of so very recent a date only, in order
to render more impressive the fact that
the L-av of MineaDolis. which was
carely laid out ten years ago, and had
th,i unbroken w ilderness above St. An
thony s 1 alls for its market, is now
manufacturing cassimere cloth, said to
equal the best English, manufacture in
texture and durability, from wool grown
in the State. This is an evidence that
American manufactures do extend, and
thai they are springing up where least
expected, and that when once begun
they compete favorably with others and
sustain themselves. Minneapolis is
one in a multitude of Western cities
where the staple for manufactures is
contiguous to the natural seat of man
ufactures, and where industry may be
profitably exercised, if, as seems possi
ble, the production of the raw material
U not yet more valuable than its further
manipulation.
. And we venture the assertion that it
will not be ten years till the new State
of Nebraska will be up to the standard
of our more northern sister, Minnesota.

The vengeance of the Almighty was
vuied on a youth named Richards, on
Sunday week, in the most awful and
udden manner. It appears that the
lad, who 14 thirteen yearsof oge, and
the son of parents in very humble cir.
cuinstances, was playing in the street
witn tour or live other lads ot a tout
his o.wn age at "cat and dog." Rich
ard. and his companions had been play
ing for seme time, when a dispute arose
between them as to- the "notches" (or
jumps) Richards bad scored. He de
clared that he had made more than
twenty, and his opponents protes-ted
that he had net scored so many. High
words and bad language were freely
used on both sides. Each boy accused
the other of falsehoodand at length
Richards failing to convince his' com
panions of the truthfulness of his state
ment, flew into a violent rage, and em
phatically shouted ' Ma.God strike ma
blind if I haven't made more than
twenty." He had scarcely uttered the
adjuration before he let the "dog" fall
out of his hands, and, throwing up his
arms, exclaimvd. "Oh, der, I cannot
see." His companions ran to him, and
finding what he said was true, at his
request led him home, where, on ex
animation, it Was found that a thick
film had overspread eaeh of his eyes
In this miserable condition the unhappy
youth has remained ever since, and we
are intormed that there is little or no
prospect of his sight being restored.

The recent severe storm on the lake
fchore, and the cold weather succeedV
ing it, have made sad havoc among the
newly sheared cheep in Northern Ohio.
The Cleveland Ikrull is informed that
three thosand have died in thetown
slups of Independence and Bucksville.
A Huron county gentleman estimates
that 12.000 have died in that cotnity !
since the storm. Mr. Charles Fitch,
living near Oimstead Falls, lost 40,
and his neighbor also lost heavily.
Several hundred have died in North
RoyaUtuns, Cuyahoga county. Three
farmers in Brunswick, Medini county,
lost respectively, 100, GO and 80.
j he Ravenna Democrat, no' icing the
losses in Portage county, .tays :
Alvin Olio, of Franklin, found 35 of
his fine flock dead on Monday morning,
they l aving perished from the cold and
rain during the previous night. J. A
Morgan, of Ravenna, lost 30, and
Wanzor Ilolcomb, of Jlootstown, lost
22 head.
Mr. Mabole, of Franklin, sheared
200 sheep on Saturday, and of thesn
bit 100. W. Strickland, of Ravenna,
lost 15, and he thinks some others will
die. A. L.ckhart. of liaveuna, Itt
15 head.
Reports say that there was a great
destruction of sheep in Paris, Charles
town, Edinburg, and other townships.
It is believed that several - thousand
sheep mutt have perished in the county.
The Elvria Democrat gives a vimilar
account of the effects of the storm in
that vicinity. . It is probable that the
important wool growing interest h&s
received such injury as will sensibly
eliect the community.
JSSF A pair of suspicious looking
"cusses" went into Geo. Giacomini's
saloon yesterday, and regaled them
selves on his meat and drink, and then
tendered a counterfeit 850 greenback
in exchange, expecting no doubt that
George wouM return them the full
change. But the keen eye of Goorge
dtac:c J the bogus bill, and though they
insisted that it was all they had,
George made them "fork over" the
amount of his bill and handed the
precious pair and bogus S50 over to
Marshal Snowdenwho brought them
before the Mayor, and made them de
posit a fine of SlO and costs. The
name given by the man who tried to
pass the till w-s Barney Leonard.
Look out for counterfeit bills ! Omaha
