The result of th City election on
SIoDtlay was all that the most sanguine
Radical could expect. One year Dgo
lbs Democracy elected their entire
ticket, except o:e, by 20 to 22 majori y
Yesterday the Republican ticket was
elected, with the exception of the Treas
urer and one Councilman. Our candi
date for Treasurer was defeated by
three voles, and one Councilman by
three votes. Tb.9 laws were respected,
and the colored man named Jame:
Walker was allowed to deposit Lis bal
lot without opposition being the first
colored citizon to exercise that right in
the State of Nebraska. Our average
rnajori'.y is about ten. The following

ENDORSED.
The Omaha Herald is boasting that
its loyalty is endorsed because cf its
receiving the printing of the laws. We
presume Mayor Monroe boasted of the
anno thing because he received a par
don to enable bim to act as Mayor of
New Orleans. There are a large
numVer of people in tb.9 South whose
loyalty" has been "endorsed" in the
same manner. It is a necessity with
many.
ANOTHER FLIXtt.
The following resolution was adop
ted in the M. E. Conference at Omaha,
and the Herald of that city takes occa
sion to denounce that body for it:
Whereas, Bro. Adonijah Williams,
formerly a member of the M E Church
South, has given patUfactory assurances
to this Conference of bis loyalty to the
National Government and hearty ap
proval of the anti-slavery doctrines of
our church, therefore,
Resolved, That he be and is hereby
received into full membership in the
Conference.
C. W. GlDDfSGS,
J. G. Miller.
H. T. Davis.
The Herald denounces this as a
"slander upon the Christian teaching
and a libel upon religious freeJcin;''
calls it "religious bigotry and intoler
ance." The Methodist Episcopal
church was proverbial for its loyalty
during the war, and ftich journals as
the Herald never miss an Opportunity
to strike at it. It was never known to
denounce the M E Church South for
its slavery doctrines and identification
with treason, but must reserve all its
vituperation and abuse for the loyal
Church.
jSF They are discussing in Salt
Lake the question cf annexing Utah to
Nevada, with the idea that Utah, ha
ing cast l,000 votes at the recent elec
lion for Delegate to Congress, can out
vote Nevada, and thus control the Slate
Government. The Salt Lake Vedttle
says that Utah has nothing like 15,000
legal voters. Such a number, as
society is constituted n that Territory,
would indicate 200,000 inhabitants.
EST The Colorado Senators have
issued a card denying the statement
that they premised the President to
support his policy if he would sign the
Colorado admission bill. c
BOXDS.
At will be seen by election returns
in another column, the voters of the
ci) have authorized the City Council
to is?ue bonds to the amount of S20,-
000 for public improvemeus, also fori
issuing bonds for the erection of a Higl
School building This is as it thuuld
be; and we trust and believe that it will
open up tne spirit or enterprise ana
progress in the people of Plaf.smouth
to the extent that will carry us safely
through the struggle which every city
must make before it attains prominence.
Our bonds ihould, and we believe
can, be disposed of at a very small dis
count. Let the matter be attended to
at an early day, and in one year from
now our city will bave a different ap
pearance. Location of I'ub.ic Buildings.
Lahcastek, March 2S, 1SG7.
Ma. Editor : The interest I feel
in the welfare and prosperity of our
new State and the early development
of her resources, prompts me at this
time to present some of the most vbvi
ous reasons for the location of public
buildings in the interior. Should my
views on this subject be deemed wor
thy the attention of your readers, I de
tire them to be made known through
your columns. It frequently happens
that whenever questions ef this char
acter arise, the true interests of the
State are not consulted, but it becomes
a matter of sectional (peculation. I
may be, however, that those who are
to decide upon (he location of publir
buildings of Nebraska are not of th
number who can be bought und told
for a few dollars, in a transaction o'
such vital importance to the interests
of the State, which it is their duty to
guard and protect. It is not my design
at this time o advance all the argument
that may be urged in favor of locating
the Capitol, and oiher public buildings
in the interior, but will briefly offer a
few of the most weighty. In the first
place we have in the interior 44,640
acres of saline land which is th prop
erty of the State. This land, if dis-pete-?
of under the present arrange
ment of things would probably sell for
an average of not more than two dol
lars per acre, making a total amount of
SS9 230; whereas, by the location of
public buildings near them, their value
would be enhanced to not Ies than ten
times their present worth or twenty
dollars per acre, making a sum total of
SS92.S00. From this one considera
tion it is eviJentxhat tfearly one million
of dollars might be immediately added
t'Vh5MT?1,'f'ilour. jS'ato Beside r
this saline land occupies nearly a cen
tral position with respect to populatian
and what will ever be the settled and
improved portion of Nebraska; and the
location of public buildings being a mat
ter in which all are equally interested,
it is nothing more than doing justice to
every one to seek a central point as
near as practicable for the location of
such institutions as the wants of the
State demand. It is plain, also, that
such a plan can work no detriment to
the river towns, for whatever builds up
the interior mutt be of corresponding
benefit to them. If the Capitol and
other Slate buildings were located in
the interior population would be induced
thereto; Government lands that would
otherwise remain unimproved for a
long time would be taken up by actual
settlers and a rapid march would be
began towards the development and
valuable improvement of our resources.
Nothing of this kind can be realized by
making either of the river towns the
seat of our State government. By do
ing so we have all to lose and nothing
to gain; their own interests are against
it and the interests of the State at large.
Yours respectfully,
S. B. GALEY.

A Democratic Orran on Impar
tial Suffrage.
The New York World of the 16-h
ult, contains an editorial article in re
gard to the prospects of the Republican
nartv in the South, which contains a
very remarkable admission. After de
during that the supremacy of the It
publican party in the South can only be
prevented in such Siates as Alabama
by the rebels "getting beforehand with
the radicals and controlling the negro
vote," it goes on to assert that 'the
management of the neprn vote will be
eay enough, if the whites begin to
reason. It then proceeds to arcue
that the present is the favorabli time
to secilre the result, because of ihe pov
erty and prosiration'of the South, hort
crops and impending starvation, w hich,
it thinks "have thus far made freedom
a hard road to travel. w A year
or two ago, says ihe orld, th negro
heart danced to a pean of vagu and
tumultuous expecta ions. i year or
two hence, tegular ijiduslrtj and pood
crops will enable ihi negroes to leaiz".

EST The Conention of General

TIIE EAST SPECCII.
It is said that just before his speech
on the confiscation bill which he intro
duced in the IIou.se, and which speech
he essayed to deliver on the 19th inst ,
Thaddeus Stevens remarked, "this will
be my last speechi" All was attention.
Silence prevailed above and below; on
ihe floor and in the galleries. His
voice was feeble; as he proceeded i
grev feebler. Wraknes? physi al
weakness overcame him and he had
to ask the Clerk 'o read his speech for
him. i
. Upon his own motion, the considera
tion of the bill was postponed until De
cember next. "The clock has struck
twelve; the day is over." was the exe'a
mation of one of his old friends who
read this announcement. "Thad. Ste

pernicious vice :

company with several Indies. The sub
ject of fortune telling was introduced.
Several of the '"ingels" pleaded guilty
to the sofi impeachment of having writ
ten to Madam This and Madam That
to furnish them leaves in their future
history. Insiances were mentfrned of
very remarkable, developments in a cer
tain case hereabouts.
Old R was asked for his opinion.
He replied : "So far ns I am person
ally concerned, I know more ab-tut my
self than I wisbi to. 1 don't think any
good comes of those things. I had a
friend who dre.sed h'mself in lady's
clothes and called upon a celebrated
prophetess. He did not believe she
would discover the di-guie but he
heard what ma le him exceedingly un

A lady much interested asked, What
did she tell him?" "She told him h
was to marry soon, nnd become the
mother of ten children !"

Does the Negro desire to Vote?
The President assigns among the
reasons for hi veto, that "the negroe
have not asked for the privilege of vot

mind on this subject, so he asked an old
