All manner of measures was resort
ed to durin? the recent campaurn to
defeat the. gentleman whose name
head, this article, and even since the
election ii over there are a few who
cannot cease their vi uperntion. We
fii.'d the following iu a late number f
the Statesman, puLIirhed at Nebraska
C.ty:
The Union Pacific Railroad ilects
T Marqut-tt, Dltrgate, and John
TaffV, Member of Congress, from Ne
braska, by some 150 majority.'' , ;
Such flings are intended to irrpair
confidence in Mr. Marqueit, by insinu
ating that he will work in the interest
of the Union Pacific Railroad to the
exclusion of the balance of the Terri
tory. It is not necessary for ns, 'or
any other person to defend Mr. Mar
quell to those who know him. There
is not a man in Nebraska who knows
Mr. Marqnell but spurns the idea, or
the man who advances it, that he would
use hit influence for the benefit of
any persons, or se.uons 01 me ler
r tjry, to the del iment of others.
It is the narrow-mindedness of the ed
itor of the Statesman and others of like
ilk thai -aues them to think a man
cannot or will noi legislate lor any
other part of ihe country except ihat iu
which he happens 10 reside That
there are others in Nebraska City who
entertaic. similar views wi.Uihe States
man, is proven by ihe fact that Mr.
Marqueit was scratched" on several
otherwise straight Republican tickets.
If the Statesman has any kind of an
idei TiW;Ir Murium Would 'sell oui'

hejwouId eveu buy vp ihe 'same"' wheD

iiliick a rhort period lo . disabuse, its
urerbtanding upon ihisniatter l.Ve

nijl-ly to ihe time and circumstance's
t'Nbably the Statesman can' figure out

Buchanan looks remarkably well
better than he has for five or six years
past and although he takes no active
part in politics, his sympathies are with
President Johnson and his "policy.
Of course they are.
It is related that a woman in
Charleston, S. C. begged for eighty
dollar- to -bury hr' husband. A be
nevolent lacy visited her home to take
her ihe money. In a darkend apart
ment lay the corpse; the widow ; was
crying, and everything looked melan
choly. She left the . eighty , dollars
and departed, forgetting her parasol.
Returning, she found the corpse care
fully counting the money.

Here is one of this class which is hap

namely, the gullan'ry displayed by

;;The name of Democracy ha9, for
generations, been a watchword that
drew toward it many a libertv-lovinir
man ; many a man who lied from the

Old World and sought refuge in a land
where every citizen, do matter how
humble his station in life or how poor

an equal voice in ihe affairs of govern

It was natural, for the people coming
from a country where aristocracy ruled,
to affiliate with those who assumed the
name of Democrats; and had that
party pursued a course in consonance
with its name it would to day have gov

past. But, holding to the name, it re
pudiates every sentiment and., princi

be'led against the government, and
caused the death of thousands of brave
men, both North and South. When
the war commenced, many true men
who had hitherto stood by the. party
because of the endearing and libeny
indicating name, left it. .They saw
that though rhe name was good, it was
like a wolf in sheep's clothing. That
while the name indicated a govern
ment by the people, the men who con
troled the party movements and made
the party platforms, acted upon an en
tirely different principle ; they acted
upon the principle ihat "whenever they
wer6 not the chosen rulers of the land,
then the voice of the people was
wrong.
, Siucathe close of the war. many of
tTiS5serwfidnaTleW!h"evpSrty on acctmw
of its (reasonable practices, went back
to the name they had such great rever
ence for. But -the leaders saw plainly
enough that ihey had not the numbers
to make fh?m successful at the ballot
box and tried the expedient of throw
ing aside the old name which had be
gun to be a stench in the nostrils of
true men because of, the villany of
those.-who assumed it. Hence the
Philadelphia movement was inaugura
ted, n fid ihe '-Conservative" party -was
organized out of the' 'old.' Democratic
party and a few men from the.Repub
hcan party who -thought they "saw
something. 'They have,' in1 several
of the States, already ' passed' through
the campaign made .under 'this new
party name, and the result is before -the
people. -They have met with a worse
defeat than 'fcver''before 'under the" old
name. The reason is obvious. "", Man j'

of those who adhered, lo the party be-

to

men. being really lovers ofTa free.gov.
ernmenl, could not but affiliate - with
the Rep'jbiicah party, which j was bat
tling for human rights and universal
freedom. : .
, The query now is, what will be the
next resort of the leaders of the "con
fervative" party, will they try another
fight under that 'name, or will they
seek a new one? They have cut loose
the bonds which held thousands of their
supporters; aud they can never expect
to regain support from ihe men who
now see through the thin gauze which
cloaked their iniquity. ' They cannot
again give the same charm ; to the
name of Democracy which it once pos
sessed, and it is doubled by many
whether the experiment will ever be
tried. :

yesterday morning a fire begun in St.
Jo.-eph. Owing to the early hour ihere
were but few people about. The wind,
which had blown half a gale from the
eastward al night had slightly abated,,
stilt it raged wiih s.uch fury as to cause,
serious. apprehensions. - la sp te of all
that could de done, by , half past five
85 houses, all wooden, were in a blaze,
the, flames driven by ihe' wind, spread
ing in all direction, and by half past
six a. in. 150. houses were consumed.
The ,church; of . LaCtfogregationa
stood to great danger, but the sudden
changing of the wind saved it.
. Crossing St. Valier street the fire'
soon spread into .St. Xafier street.'
House. after. house fell a prey :. to the
flames. It was thought the houses
eastward would be saved, but the fire
crept back, doing its work of distruc
lion. .
-At 11 a. m. the whole centre of the
Ulstrict was a barren waste. Having
nothing lo leeu on il aisiriuuieu itseit
in opposite directions, the wind increas
ing again.
Three separate conflagrations were
observed at once. St. Xavier church
and other large buildings were in
flames. Towards the toll gates sur
rounding ibe general hospit.l and con
vent another terrible fire was raging
with still greater fury, at ibe back o
Crown street. The,, flames creeping
back enveloped street after street de
spite almost superhuman efforts.
. The conflagration ceased about five
o'clock, when there was nothing more
for it 10 feed upon.

and ibe loss of property from $2,500,
000. to S3.000.000.
