IH IT J I STICK 1
The ma?a ditTerenee that - presents
itself at the present time between th
so called supporters of Mr. Johnson's
policy and the original and steadfast
Union men of the land is in regard to
the basis of representation upon which
the States lately in rebellion shall as
sume their position intheUnion There
is no desire on the part of the great
Union party of the United States to
keep these. States out from reprere
sentation in Congress longer than, is
absolutely pecessary for the safety o
the goveri mem ; but we do say that
they should not, as a- reward for their
perfidity, be given increased powers in
the government over" what they 'ha:
previous to the rebellion, and increased
powers over the States which were
loyal to tbe general government in the
hour of need. The great Union party
says that a loyal. laborer in the north
should have an' equal voice in this
government with a disloyal aristocrat
of the South. We claim this not only
as a matter if justice, but as a meas
ure of necessfry for the preservation
of the goverumont. The Union party
does not demand that strict justice ac
cording to law shall be meted nut to
the late rebels, but only demand that
they shall not be rewarded for their
treason by given them greater powers
in th government than are ajlowed to
those who who were faithful and loyal
durirjrr the war. We are unable to see
the injustice done the menoflhe South
by this demand, unless it be because of
giving them even an equalavoice, and
thus encouraging them in another at-
temp to overthrow the government by
saying to them that they have done
nothing deserving punishment. As we
said before, this question of represen
tation Is the main one between the two
parties, call it by what name you will ;
and we cannot conceive how it is pos
sible ffrr ny man who believed ihe re
. a , . . .
bellion to be wrong to advocate giving
ihe laterebels (and in fact most of
them are as great rebelf at heart yet,
and only wail a favorable opportunity
to put their belief in practice,) more
power in the government than loyal
men have- It is certainly no injualrce
to say that a million white voters in
the north shall have the tame repre
sentation in Congress that ' a million
white voters in the south have and
that is exactly what the Union party
demands. We hold that a northern
loyalist is as good as a southern rebel,
aud we believe such will be the peo
ple's verdict this fall, ' A.' Johnson and
his bread-and-butter party to the con
trary notwithstanding.
8 ALT MANUFACTURE.
We learn from parties just in from
Salt Basins, says the Nebraska Ciiy
Press, that. Gregory tSc Co are making
rapid progress in setting up their ar
rangements for the manufacture of
Salt. They have a good steam saw
mill in operation, cutting lumber - with
which to build houses and make , vats
for the evaporation of salt water.
They have already a number 'of vats
composed of various kinds of material
and are increasing the number as rap
idly a possible. They expect to have
in operation by the first of May next.
foar hundred vats. This company has
considerable capital, and propose 'to
drive the businessTTrora this date, and
expect to manufacture salt at a net cost
of twenty-five cents per hundred pounds
This will enable them', to put a period
to shipping salt to any point on the up
per Missouri, at ; an" early day. We
are pleased to note this progress in
developing the riches of - Nebraska,
and trust ihe investment will prove
highly remunerative to the enterprising
company., . . : , i
gSST" A dispatch to the New.Yorlr
World from Saratoga, July 26tb, says:
"A telegram was received at the Union
Hotel to night closing the sale of a colt
of the bay mare Pocahontas, for S40,
000. Robert Bonner wi the purchas
er, and J. Bardwell the seller. .The
figure is considered rather high by the
horse fanciers here."
It is supposed that the reason
Fernando' Wood and , Vallandighain
asked to stay out of the Philadelphia
Convention is thar they neglected to
fight for the rebel cause as well as talk
and write for it. Then they would
have been admitted to seats with Ran
dall, Ord; Dick Taylor," Dooliule.' Al

i men. -
LOYAL MES' MUST RULE.,
The issue made by-the Democracy
is plainand admits no shadow of doubt.
It is whether loyal or disloyal men
shall govern the country. The' De
mocracy, assisted by the influence and
power of the President, demands that
the government shall be placed in' the
hands of the rebels, while Congress
and the loyal people demand that Union
men shall be the main element in the
government. , There is no half-way
ground any more than there was. dur
ing the war. "He that is not for us is
against as.. . He that does not say that
loyal men shall rule, 'must say that
rebels aball rule. The Republican
party say that' they ' believe the gov-
ernment as safe in the bauds of men
whose loyalty is known as it would be
in the hands of those whose disloyalty
is beyond question. This is bound to
be the issue in the coming campaign,
and we call upon the true men in Cass
county, to come up boldly ' to the work.
In the convention which assembles at
Brownville on the 6th of September,
let there be none who desire to assume
an equivocal position. Let Cass county
send delegates who are neither asham
ed or afraid to come out on the side of
the loyal people and the Union soldiers.
Send men who are not ashamed to say.
openly, that they hive more confidence
in the men who', fought four years to
maintain our government than they
have in those who fought the same
ength of time to destroy it.
. I RO.H THE WEST..
We have a private letter from John
Allinson, Esq'.', a well kuown resident
of this city, dated "Camp on Crazy
Woman's Fork of Powder River, Au
gust 2d, 1866," from which we make
the following extracts: '
"On the 22d nit.. M... Cheney and
one of his men were killed by Indians',
and others of the company wounded.
fhe Indians attacked Tootle & Leache's
train on the 25th, and tilled the wagon
master, Tom. Dillon, but did not sue-,
ceed in capturing any of the Mock.
On the 24th they attacked the train
with which we afterwards traveled.
One man from Missouri, ty the name
of ; Floyd, went to look for water, and
did not came back. They were begin
ning to' get unea?y about him, when
the red rascals made a dah into tbe
orral and run off" some horses and
mules. The herd was 1 1-2 miles from
Brown's Springs. They killed three
oxen, and badly wounded one man.
Everything, so far. has been done by
surpns8. A party of 12 men, armed with
lenry and Spencer's rifles, and re
volvers, went down lo Dry Fork of
Cheyenne, and when-returning 'were
surrounded and 7 of the number' killed
tid 4 wounded only one man escap
ing unhuft. The next day a party of
us went out and picked up five bodies.
nd found the body of Floyd, the head
cut off and body full of arrows.' I
found the head some distauce down the
hill from where the ' body was. The
next day we buried the other two bodies;
one of t.bem was that of Mr. Barton,
of Council Bluffs. iOn the North Fork
of Wind Creek we found -two Sbes
very much decomposed, 'tne breasts
till of arrows. .
vFrom Fort Reno to the new, Fort
on the Pioey. wa have to travel in a
vast train of 250 wagons, Reno is gar
risoned with 70 men. The Indians
dashed into the post and run off fifteen
head of stock. We have been re
markably fortunate so far, as not a man
out of the outfit that started from Plaits-
mouth has been hurt. ".
"The roads and grass are good,
W a 1 I
water very scarce . it is nig, oig. ait
theimt. There are 150 wagons wait
ing at the new Fort ror;us I think
such a large body, will not be disturbed.
This road. I. think, will be . the main
traveled one', but it is a bloody one.
Whoever comes' this way had better
come prepared tocut their way thro'."
' 3FWhat are you thinking, my
man?'' said Lord Hill, tis he approach
ed a soldier who 'was' leaning in a
gloomy mood upon his firelock, while
around him lay mangled, thousand of
French and English ; it was a few
hours after, the battle of Salamanca
had been won by the . English. Tbe
soldier started, and after saluting his
General, answered :"i "I was thinking
my Lord how many widows - and or
phans I have this day made 'for 'one

Editors Republican J I see a -short I
notice in your issue or. the 6th inst. of
the Indian affair at Diamond Springs,
which resulted in the wounding of three
wane wen. As 1 was called aown to
aee the wounded men, 1 learnea ine
facts in the case.-- ':
Standing Elk, chief of the Ogalla-
lah Sioax. Band, was encamped at the
old Californian crossing, at Beauvais
ranche- Twenty-five miles from ihere
at Ash Hollow, on the North Fork of I
theriatte.spotied i an was in cmp,wiin
about one hundred and twenty lodges
wiih th8 Brule, Sioux. One of these
last, a younrr brave, came down to the
South Platte, where Standing Elk was
encamped, and obtained .some whiskey
from a .raveler.aod while. drunk mount-
ed his pony and went down tne road 1
three miles, all alone, to where several
trams were encamped, and having lost I
some articles which he had bought or
begned, he imagined that the . whiles
had stolen .them, and shot these three
men" by way of revenge. It was mere-
ly the freak of a drunken savage. As
soon a Standing Elk learned that he
was drunk and making trouble, he.
wi:h two othvrs, started after him, and
ordered him back to Ash HoILow.'and
drove into and over the Plane. Two
Indians were sent by the ranchman,
Mr. Lee, to inform Spotted Tail of
what the Indian bad done, and when
ne (Spotted Tail) wa infofJued of his
coiniuc?, he shot his pony under him,
beat him severely, and when the young
Indrans father (a chief) interfered in j
