THE REIUL.T.
The Philadelphia movement is re
suiting exactly as we anticipated, al
thought it is developing much sooner.
We took the ground, when the Phila
delphia resolutions were first adopted,
that they did not express the views of a
majority nor even a respectable mi
nority of the assembled delegates.
The whole thing wa a show, so far as
the great majority were coucerned, in
augurated only that the semblance of
fairness and reason might be given in
order to catch enough loyal votea to
elevate the rebels and their intimate
friends and sympathisers to power.
They were at the bottom of the well,
and they either had to -stay there or

creased Republican majority of 5.000 assistance from Union men to haul

who met at Philadelphia are going to
meet with all ever the loyal slates,
when the vote comes in from "around
the circle" which Andy has been mak
ing, it will be seen that he has "left the
Constitution in the hands of the peolpe,"
and that they are bound to have the
Amendment attatched to it.
OIK MTIOXAL DISGRACE
That the speeches, actions, etc., of
Andrew Johnson are a national dis
grace, no sensible man will pretend to
deny. The Republican Union party
tion was inaugurated for the purpose
of "gulling" a few individuals into
their support, under the impression that
they would behave themselves and were
sorry for the crimcstbey had commuted.
We h. d no faith in the repentance of
either the late rebels or the -party who
assisted them during the war; yet we
are not disposed to say that none
who endorsed tbe arlion of the Con
vention had faith in the sincerity of
the professions of the assembled dele
gates. We believe there are men who
righteously believed that the course
marked out was the one best calculated
have one thins to c msole ihem in ihN l0 BPCure the proper adjustment of all
matter, however. Mr. Johnson, in hi:
disgraceful harangues, does not pre
tend to be an exponent of our principle.
He would undoubtedly do us a vast
injury if he were speaking upon oui
side of the qoeMion ; but as it is he i

the speakers we have in the field, li can
not be otherwise. When the Executive

SIIOIV THE PROOF.
Greely on Deecher.
Horace Greelv, in one of the ablest
editorials he ever wrote, reviews the let
ter of Henry Ward Beecher. and thus
closes his unanswerable refutations
Mr. Beecher has achieved a sudden
anv manner even cive ihe nnnenranrp and wide spread popularity. In the
of forsakim? anv of their former n..si. conception of every blackleg, duelist.
J tired of the Republican party they
should come to them, and that it was
not their place nor their desire to
different in their gata as Morton and
Paddock have been, even if their
color is alike, it looks like there was
little principles in the race. We under
stand Morton has gone to see Tram.
with his pocket full of "counsels;" but
wether tbev will "induce Train to
j
haul off is yet to be determined. Mor
ton and Miller pretend to own every
man who ever voted a Democratic
ticket in Nebraska, but we are of opin
ion that Train will convice them that
he never signed the deed by which
they claim him.
WHAT ABOUT PHILADEL
PHIA.
Wrhat do our conservative friends
think about the great National Union
Party in Nebraska now? Do they
believe the Democracy are honest in
their support of the platform adopted
at Philadelphia (if it could be called a
platform") ? Would they nominate
such a man as J. Sterling Morton A
they were ? If anybody can reconcile
the nomination of Morton and an as
sertion that ihev tnan:: uou mat tne
war has terminated in favor of the gov
ernment of the United States, we would
like to see how it is done. ill some
of ihe conservative chaps show us bow
they do it ?
Tlie Homeslentl Law.
The following regulation has just
been issued from the Land Office :
'W::tn a party makes a election of
a tract of land under the Homestead
aw, and thereafter desires io change
the same for other land, he canr.ol be
nermilted lo do n. as ihe law makes
r
no provision far change of Homestead
entries hen. however, a horn-stead
party is actually settled on one tract.
and by an rror i the description in
his application a certificate of eniry is
given to him for another and (hffeient
iract from that covered by his actual
settlement the error is treated as a
clerical one in the papers, and will be
so corrected as to award him inceptive
evidence of ihe tide for the tract em
bracing his actual settlement."
iKsF A man who was recently ar
rested in Memphis, Tenn., for whip
ping his wife, gave the policeman thiny
dollars not to walk on the same side of

his wife ought to be ashamed to be seen
walking wr.h a policeman ! Such a
fellow mu?t have such gentlemanly and
delicate instincts.
had lailed to procure a diploma in Ne
braska, hence Ins defeat,) aud Conse
quently was trying io guide the pany
owards success if possible. Hit nr.-t
effort was to effect a coalition with the
office holders' convention, which met
with much opposition but wan finally
consummated (to outside a ppe.ira nces.)
then encouraged the otfice holders to
nominate auiaii from the North I'labe
for Representative so as to throw ihe
nomination for Delegate omh of ihe
Platte to J. R. Porter. A North Piatte
man. A. S. Paddock, wa therefore
nominated. Thus lar the Patrick par
ty had come out ahead, and had ihey
been able to finish their programme u
would have been the belter policy for
the party, but it was otherwise oidt re. I
The Rule-or-Ruin Intensified d p
perhead portion of ihe pany raliinl
their forces and won the last and crush
ing victory finally , which up?et every
thing which had been done in the pol
icy line before.
On the informal ballot this element
complimented Megeath, he receiving
28 vote-". Porter 17, Marion S, Brooke
5. O'Haulin 2, Bradford 5, and the
poor man was induced to think thai be
hid some chance of procuring the nom
ination, but was unkindly called upon
to immediately get out of the way that
Morion might gain an easy victory
ovr ihe Patrick party he obeyed or
ders and withdrew as all others did
but Morton and Porter. At this junc
ture we saw Col Patrick model a'rly
raise up from his seal ami advance to
wards Doct. Graff and shake his head
very dicouragmt'ly and whisper some
thing which we imagined .o be ''goim
up , exchanging down-cast looks.
We took the hint and started for our
hat making ready 'to go for Morton'"
ifir the first ballot, (which we did at
th cost of a new hit). Soon the vole
was announced, Morton 29, Porter 21.
J. Sterling Morton, tiil wok.-t
Copperhead and rebel Nebraska
affords, was decbtred the nominee
f.pr Delegate of two conventions, ca!l
ingthemselves Conservative. John-
sin men. National Union men and
other misnomers.
To attempt to picture the consterna
tion this announcement produced in the
conventions, and among the outsiders
won'd tf futile. Language would
fail, as it could only be realized by
being an eye witness. Even the rven
ty-Mne members who ''did u were
