THE "ADVLUTISLK,"
In speaking of iha Legislative riot and
the reasons adduced by Omaha men
for opposing with mob viult-nee the pas
sage of a just apportionment bill, to
wit: "That South Platte desired to se
cure power iu order to remove the
capital,' say-:
If the capitol ii in tha right place,
why such jealous dread of it removal?
If it is not. the surest way to bring it
a bum, it to bring it into tho
it was last Saturday. When Otoe
County attempted its removal we oppos
ed it; jet, if it is to interfere with our
rights, we ehoU for us removal at tiie
first opportunity.
XOT KECKEA.XT.
The Nexcs says : "The worthy dele
gation from this county is not recreant."
The mere statement of ihe' jYews to
that tfTcCt does "not make it so, neither
will it convince the people. It is a well
known fact, and is not denied by ihh
tt-sf that the Otoe delegation voted
against an apportionment bill that gave
one more member, at least, to the South
Platte country thin we now have, and
that they did vole for another bill which
dimini-hed the representation of Otoe
one member. We do not wish to be
understood as finding any fault with
their vote todimini-h their own repre
sentation, because it still left the South
Platte representation as before, and if
thee Otots were conience stricken
and thought their county had more
members than she was entitled to, they
were riht to strike olT one member
and give it to such counties as were en
titled to it. Hut hen they voted
against a bill to apportion representa
tion according to voters, merely be
cause the "Regency" at Omaha said
they should, and promised them a Stal
University for thus betraying the peo
pie's intersts, we nre inclined to think
1! will take something more substantial
than the bare ass'-rtiou of the Aetrs to
convince the 0,006 voters of South
riatte that thy are not "recreant."'
It is the prevailing opinion that the O'.oe
members, iu vcing-agaiust ths appar
iKinmeut, voted against the interests of
I their own. county, as Wr'il as the inter
ests of the whole South Piane country.
If this is not the case, iu tha opinion of
the jYews, will that journal do tlieOioe
members and the public the justice to
correct this impression by the publica
tion of facts; aiid not attempt it by mere
assertions.

OMAHA ELECTIO.Y.
The city election which came off in
O.naha on the 4'h inst., resulted in a
complete copperhead victory. The i?e
jnillican says frauds, riot and anarchy
were the order of the day. We make
the following extracts:
The frnu Is perpetrated at tho elec
tion yesterday t,y illegal voting were
of the most stupendous magnitude. Of
this there is iho most positive proof.
Men voted iu one ward and then went
by the .vagon load and by the platoon
to 'the? oth-er wards and vo'ed again.
Si'tiit D-'moTHiic voters, rode
from one ward to nnoth r fur th.' pur-
po-e of driving from th palls lgal 1
voters, i'i carriages prnvidrd tor thm
by the money of th Democratic candi
dates, firing c-ff their u volvers and
llturishir.tr their bludgeons ns tliy rode
.i!o:iit. The pectac! was u
burning disgrnre to Omaha, and soffit
1 3 be ly every repeciaMe citizen. .Mi
Mich fevl deeply humilia.td at the wcrk
of ye.!erday. ,
The Repullican goes on with mj-
merou ins'iances and irtider.'s. all of)
whi-jh are in perfect keeping wit.h t!io
spirit wLkh actuated the itiub en th'
iiight of the lGth of February, w.'ieu
the lives of members of the Legislature
were threatened. ConlJ ai yihing else j
be expected, when the disgraceful pro
ceedings of the lGih were treated
lightly or not meLtiotiL-d at all by the
press of the city? We t-hall piv fur
tiier details of this transaction ou the
4th.
DOIBTI I'L IIOXOKS.
The Omaha Herald and Nebraska
City 4vVetis are jubi'ant over the suc
cess of ihe Democracy in Omaha, n;,d
Virtual'7 tr. A .r & iV, nrlmn .V.
mat flourished Bnvie knives, fired re
volvers, and drove the negro voters
from the polls. This is the tyle of pro
ceeding urged on by these papers and
the desperate leaders of the party in
Nebraska. They do not confine their
actions to mobbing negroes, but carry
it into our Legisladve halls. Is this
the party and are these the principles
that honest, peaceable citizens desire
to uphold? Let men consider these
things seriously, and ask themselves it
ihey wish to support and build up a par
ty that endorses mob law where they
cannot secure their ends otherwise.
We can see no honor in obtaining a
political victory through lawlessness
and rnob violence. No man who is
able to reed has any excuse for being
ignorant of the fact that negroes are
much entitled to vote in Nebraska as
are white men; and the party thai
drives them from the p . IL has the same
ric bit to drive every white man from the
polls. Not three days before ihe election
in Omaha, the Acus admitted the right
of negrot s to vote, but has not one word
of condemnation now for the Demo
cratic mob that, by force of arms, drove
them from the polls at Ounha.
THE KEASOX.
We see a diversity of cpinion ex
pressed in different papers as to why
our Senators did not take iheir seats in
the cl.ising hours of ihe 39ih Congress.
Some say it wns because the two years
of the 3Q;h Congress uculd be deduct
ed from ih.;ir terra cf strvice, and oth
ers ihat they could not tike their seats
from the fact that Senator Tipton was
n il ihre in time, and that it was nec
essary for both to be present in order
that the question of the iong and short
term rnigh: te decided upon at the time
of their taking seats. The latter is
likely ihe correct reason.

Our neighbor of the Democrat h is at
last gone into National Politics. His
first effort gives evidence of a superior
mind, one capable of grasping with
and throttling all the dogmas of a Re
publican form of government. He ut
terly annihilates this farce of a Repub
lican government in the following beau
tiful and touching style:
"The Right of Life, Liberty, and
Property, guaranteed by the Ooustiiii
tion. to the peopU is destroyed.
"This Government is no lenger a

'President Johnson known:? these

I
.'ed in

wh. at ri

brought from the Scuth, and to corrcb-
omte that s'-itemnt, I refer your read-
ers to -190. 500, 501 and ,T02 of j
the U. S. Aricultoril Report for lbbd; j
wh re will be found a valuable article
on "The Wheat Plaat, its Range, etc."
but lest sein of your renders should
not have the report, I will make a few
extr .cts- "The txperinc j of a Ken
tucky f irmer shows that set d wheat
obtained from a northern locality faded
with him, owing to ?at'e ripening and
" - -t.- f.-v.
periment was irioo. with three varieties
of northern grown seed and wi.h the
same result in each Case. When wheat
from a southern locality wis sown by
tho same expenmeu'er, his crop ripen
ed early and was free from rust ai-.l
disease, ar.d impraved in sample over
the original, while the main crop in the
same d istrict was ruined by rusi and
other diseases. This result was cor
roborated by ihe re-ul: of four seasons
of growth; and the southern grown
seed, because of its early ripening, is
rapidly superceeji.ig all the later
wheats in the district referred to. The
kind of wheat ntroJuced from the
more southern region of Tennessee, or
perhaps northe rn Alabama, is the Ear
ly May."
The controversy that was originat
ed by the introduction of the Tennes
see Early Slay wheat into northern lo
calities appear.- to have settled into the
belief that the seloction of southern
crown eittly-ripen'Ug varieties is judi
cious uh?re it i mcessary that the grain
should attain early maturity." And
now. Mr. Editor, let me repeat my in
quiry as to the Lest variety of wheat,
all things considered. There are per
haps not less than a dozen varieties
so.vn ia this county, and there is quite
a d. (Ten nee iu trie quality and perhaps
in the yield. '

In dissecting ihe corpse of a pauper
at the Twenty-third Street Medical
College recently, the s'udents unex
pectedly found evidence that another
j human being had been devoured by
; ,he J(ifiniiess mal worm which the fac-
u!ty call irichitice spiralis. The intes
tines, when subjected to microscpic ex
amination, proved to be literally alive
i with these miuuie destroyers, and they
were found in abundance everywhere
in th'3 muscular tissue. Th body was
that of a woman cf whom the hospital
au h.irities knew nothing, beyond the
fact that she was a put.psr, and died
s:on after her admission to Bdlevtie
Hospital, nnd, as a subject that had
peri-hed of an unknown malady, had
been surrendered to tho surgeons for
dissection. Trichina- in c-normou
numbers having been discovered in the
body, the surgeons strove tu ascertain
something of the hi-tory of the v.viain
rae, hoping thus to add to th-'ir stock
of information concerning the oriirin of
these destructive worms. a:;d of ih
j symp-oms ot .1 suflererafilieted by th:m;
tut thjir inquiries were fruitless, and
all that is left them is a circa -3 which
worms converted into fo- d f ;r tho di ea J
ed Worm.
Trichinaj spiralis were iirst discover
t d in ili h.iiaan system in i.U'1
since that unv; indicnl mef: have uil
ligently soujht their origin, and some
mt-diciut; which nuy expd them from
the body; but tl.us lar the faculty have
reached no definite conclusious, or i;
they have, tha results cf their research
es have not ben committed to print.
All medical writers, however, ngree in
conveying to their readers the idea that
the hog, the scavtnirer of creation, i.
the quadruped through which trichina:
enters the human stomach. Ia the
emphatic language of Dr. (iauss,
Berlin, "the swine is the ante-rorun
where the worm waits 10 be received
into the human temple, ih-re to work
iis destructive changes." Stvs Dr.
Flora of ChicHgo, "Reports are coming
to us daily from different pans of ih-
country tif the discovery of irichinou-
pork, and at Detroit the death of a
0-":a,AJ?.4,,..'iiirtEUr.ve1d in whose body
animation-and thorough cta.QrouslixJi

ventatives of trichina; disease; but tU- 1
only injulub'e one is to obey ihe Jew j
ish law, and "eai no fork Another
writer says: ''Some call trichina; a new
di-ease; some deny i:s existence alto- J
ireiher; but the disease is not new, sim
ply the know ledge of its true character
it was once quite common in lien n to
speak of han poison, a substance which
has never been isolated. The disease
was observed and ascribed to this un
known agent; but all attempts to isolate
the pjison failed." There is an instauce
on record where a number of gentle
men breakfasted together, one of whom
being engaged with some business, did
not seat himself at the table, but simply
drank a glass of wine, the rest eating
raw ham with their claret. The latter
all fell sick and some died, while the
former remained well. At Hettstadt,
near the Hartz Mountains ia Germany,
about three years ago, 103 persons sat
to a dinner consisting of sausage ana
vegetables. No less than eighty-three
of the above mentioned numbei died
within a few weeks. A case came te
ight iu this city in 1S64, in which r.
whole fami!v was poisoned by tali tig
trichinous pork.
It seems to be conceded that u man
does not take all trichina; from pork,
it is true that the hog is a trichinous
quadruped, a single ounce of whose
tlesh, if infected, may introduce to th"
human stomach hundreds of these
worms, which may reproduce their
species to ihe extent of. tiiliions, and
gnaw their way ini( tht vitals.
A iros Oti;r.:ge.
From the Om.!ia It-'i ubiicaa, St!..
One of ihe greatest outrages evv-r
known iu either a civdiz d or uncivil
ized community was t-erpetraiod at the
second ward poll, just at iu close yes
terday. It is a foul blot upon the good
name of O.naha, the iio-morv o: whkh
it wiil take year.-, to efface.
It had been understood that the col
ored vuters of the city would, for th:
first time in their lives, oifer to exer
cise their rictus as electors confrrtd
ou them by the organic law cf die Ter
ritory, by the Statutes cf tha Territory
and by the actsadmit'.ing Nebraska into
the Union as a State. When people
awoke this morning, there were found
posted up in innumerable places slips of
manuscript, so miserably written as t t
be nearly illegible, threatening the col
ered men with death and all manner of
violence if they attempted to exercise
this lawful right. We have a number
cf these now in our possession.

Many thought these threats were not
seriously intended, and that the Dem

in execution. It was not thought pos
sible that in this cotiimunity, o great
an outrage upon the rights of citizens
could be. BLit about quarter past three
o'clock, the crowd of the Democracy
from all parts of the ci'y began to gath

in perhaps less than fifteen u.inutc
there were four hundred of them gath
