II. D. HATHA WAT, Chairman
Republican Fleeting
The Republican voters of Plattimouth
precinct will assemble at the Court
House in this city, on Saturday next,
14th inst, for the purpose of electing
delegates to attend the County Conven
tion. We hope the attendance will be
large, as it is desirable that the voice
f ibe people be heard.
SAUIVDEKiCOUXTY POLITICS.
We learn that seme considerable in
terect is being manifested by the people
of Saunders couuty in political affairs,
and- that three- different conventions
have already been called.' A no-politics
convention for the county has been
called for next Saturday, the 14th,
when it is expected, we presume, to
place in nomination men who have no
politics, or at least those who do not
know exactly what their political views
are. We may be wrong in this, never
having had much to do with them; but
that is our idea of a "fusion" conven
tion. A straight-out Republican con
vention is called for the 21st, and a
'square-toed'' Democratic convention
is called for the 28i.h, We would ad
vise the- people of Saunders, and es
pecially the Republicans, to abandon
all thoughts of fusion, and run their
straight tickets. We presume the
friends of the fusion movement use the
old stereotyped argument, that they
want "eood men,n without regard to
party, to fill the various county offices;
but the theory of running a mixed tick
et to secure the election of that class
of men has been exploded long since.
"Good men" always have some fixed
principles, and can generally be found
battling for them. We doubt not there
are good men in both parlies in Saun
ders county, and we believe it would
be far better for them to run regular
party tickets than to attempt a fusion.
You cannct mix-oil and water, neither
can you fuse Republicans nnd Demo
crats so but the dividing line is very
perceptible. During the war, the pick
ets of the two armies occasionally held
a truce, and would associate with each
other along the line; but they were
nevenheless either Uuionor rebel, and
fought for their respective sides when
the batt! commenced." Saunders is on
the picket-line, and the battle is about
to commence. Are there any "neu
trals'' there?
g2TThe Herald's Washington spec
ial snys that the Internal Revenue De
triment has received information of
great importance regarding certain al
leged heavy frauds in the whiskey rev
enue of New York and Brooklyn,
which implicate, among others, five in
ternal r? venue collector?.
COUXTY IIO.VDS,
The County Commissioners, having
the interests of the county at heart and
believing it to be in accordance with
the desires of a large majority of our
people, have eummitted to the peeple
the question cf issuing $200,000 in
county bouds. We believe the people
of this county will, by an overwhelming
majority, say to our county commission-1
ers to itsue these bonds whenever,
in their judgement, the good of the
ccunty requires it. There is scarcely
a doubt that, with this aid, the B. & 31.
R. R. R. Co. will commence operations
on the west side cf the Missouri next
season, and what then would the in
terest (and that is all vte would have
to pay at present) amount to. The
commencement of work on the west
side of the river would increase the
value of taxable property in Cass
county more than a million dollars
inside of one month, and before the
bonds would become due every resi
dent of the county would have made,
in consequence of having the R. R.,
ten times the amount he would be re
quired to pay towards their liquidation.
In fact, it is hardly probable that the
people of the county would ever te
taxed one cent to pay off those bonds,
from the fact that, if they were put in
as stock in the road by the coutty,
there is every reason to believe that the
dividends thereon would liquidate the
bonds by the time they became due.
CHANGED ITS TUSE.
The Republican has, for the past two
months, kept up a con.iuous roar about
the illegality of the location of Lincoln
City, on the ground that the bonds of
the commissioners were "rasped" in
stead of "filed." Previous to mounting
that hobby it claimed the whole action
was illegal on the ground that the Gov
ernor had no right to embrace the ques
tion in his call. But now, for some
reason unknown to common mortals
and unexplained by the Republican, it
abandons all these "weighty" things
and assumes that Lincoln must "go
under" because it is not in the right
locality. That is a different argument,
entirely, from what has heretofore been
used, and one which shows more sense
than the flimsy pretexts of illegality.
It is a question which every individual
can decide for himself, whether Lincoln
city will prove a failure in consequence
of its location; and every one can act
on their own judgment, We expect
about the next position the Republican
will take will be that Lincoln city ought
to prove a failure, whether it doe3 or
not. As to whether the capital city
will prove a failure or success, in con
sequence of its location, we think the
Republican is just about as ignorant as
any one. One thing is certain, there
is more good arable land surrounding
the new city than there is about Omaha,
and more inhabitants within sixty miles
of i'. than withia the same distance of
Omaha. Is there not just the least
little bit of jealousy existing in Omaha
against the city of Lincoln, or do ah
these mad ravings of the Republican
ante from an unadulterated desire to
do good.
A SIIISTER EXPOSED.
A man calling himself Col. Gwynne
recently made his appearance in Oma
ha. He is minus one hand, which he
claims to have lost in battle. At a re
cent Republican meeting in Omaha he
requested to have his name placed on
the bills as one of the speakers. When
his turn came to speak, he made a reg
ular out-and-out Copperhead speech,
and then boasted that he had done a
"smart thing." This caused some of
our Republican friends to look about
for the antecedents of the man who
had "sold" them and made an ass of
himself, and it is ascertained that he
was born minus the hand, always was
a miserable Ecamp, and if be served in
any army it was with a gray coat on.
A very suitable person to make Cop
perhead speeches at Republican meet
ings. THE REGISTRY.
We hope every Republican in Cass
county will register before the books
are finally closed, as a failure to regis
ter is equivalent to staying away from
the pells on election dttv. The democ
racy ere quietly bringing up every
voter possible, and Republicans should
not le "caught napping." The books
will be opened again on Monday and
Tuesday of the week preceding the
electiou, and every Republican who
has not already registered should be on
hand at that time.

ESFNine Hundred ad Ninety-
Nine Men, mechanics, farmers, labor

What is that lax, which took a little
comfort from each one of the tax-pay

It is used to keep up the government
which the friends of the iVirurs endeav
ored for four years to destroy. It is
used to pay the debt contracted by the
government in defending its existence
against armed rebellion by the leaders
of thfe Democratic party iu the South,
and cowardly assaults by treacherous
"peace" advocates in the North, of
whom the A'eirs was chief in Nebraska.
Does that paper object to the tax and
the use it is put to?
MAINE ELECTION.?
One hundred and nine towns give
Chamberlain, Republican, 27,715;
Pil'sbury, Democrat, 1S.6S3. The
same town last year gave Chamber
lain 31,650, and Pillsbury 15,565.
Chamberlain's majority this year is
6,032, against 15,055 in the same towns
last year, making a Republican loss of
9,065. Aggregate vote of these tons
43.398, against 48,215 last year. The
total vole of the State last year was
116.0S1; this year it will probably fall
a little under 100,000. The Republi
can majority will be reduced to about
13,500, a loss cf about 1,400. Thi
loss in the Republican majority is not
proportionately as great as the falling
off in the popular vote. The Demo
crats will probably gain representatives
in seme towns, but not enough to give
them much power in legislation.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, In the month of July, A.
D. 1861, the two houses of Congress,
with extraordinary unanimity, solemnly
declared that the war then existing was
not waged on the part of the Govern
ment in any spirit of oppression, nor
for any purpose of conquest or subjuga
tion, or interfering with the rights or
established institution of States, but to
defend and maintain the supremacy of
the Contitution, and to preserve the
Union, with all the dignity, equality
and rights of the several States unim
paired; and as soon as these object
should be accomplished, the war ought
to cease ;
Whereas, The President of the
United State, on the Sth day of De
cember, 1SG3, and 26th of Mareh,lS64.
did, with the objects of suppressing the
then existing rebellion, of inducing
all persons to return to their 'oy
a'ty. and of restoring the authority of
ihe United States, issue a proclamation
offering amnesty and pardon to all per
sons who had directly or indirectly
participated in the then existing rebel
lion, except as in those proclamations
was specified and reserved ;
Whereas, The President of the
United States did. on the 29 h day of
May, A. D. 1S65, issue a further proc
lamation with the same febject before
mentioned, and to the end that the au
thority of the Government of the United
Stales might be restored; that peace,
order and freedom might be establish
ed, the President did, by said last men
tionpd proclamation, proclaim and de
clare that he thereby granted all persons
who had directly or indirectly partici
pated in the then existing rebellion,
except as therein excepted, amnesty
and pardon, with full restoration to all
rights of property, except as to slaves,
except in certain cases where lfgal
proceedings had been instituted, but
upon condition that such persons should
take and subscribe an oath therein pre
scribed, which otth should be registered
for permanent preservation;
And whereas. In and by said last
mentioned proclamation of May 29th,
1865. fourteen extensive classes of
persons therein specially described
were altogether exceple'd"ah3exclu3e3
from the benefits thereof ;
Whereas, The President of the
United Sates did, on the 2d day o
April. 1866, isiue a proclamation de
claring that the insurrection was at an
end, and was henceforth to be so re
garded ;
Ana wnereas. xnere now exists no
organized armed resistance of misguid
ed citizens or others, to the authority
of the United States in the Statea of
Georgia, Sauth Carolina, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Flor
ida end Texas, the laws can be sus
tained and enforced therein by proper
civil authority, State or Federal, and
the people of said Slates are well and
loyally disposed, have conformed, and
if permitted to will couform in legisla
tion to the condition of affairs growing
out of an amendment to the Constiiutio.i
prohibiting slavery wiibin ike limits
and jurisdiction of the Un'ted Statea ;
And whereas. There no longer exists
any reasonable ground to apprehend in
those Stales which were involved in the
great rebellion a renewal thereof, or
any unlawful resistance by the people
of said States to the Constitution and
laws of the United States ;
And whereas, Large standing armies,
military occupation, martial law, mili
tary tribunals and the su:pens:on of
the privileges of the Habeas Corpu,
and the right of trial by jury, are in
time of peace dangerous to public lib
erty, incompatible with individual rights
and contrary to the genius and spirit of
free institutions, and exhaustive of
national resources, and ought not, there
fore, to be sanctioned or allowed, ex
cept in cases of actual necessity, for
repelling invasion or suppressing insur
rection or rebellion ;
-And whereas, A retaliatory or vjn-
dictive policy is attended by unneces
sary disqualifications, pains, penalties,
and property confiscations and disfran
chisement, and now, as it always did,
could only tend to hinder a reconcilia
tion among the people and National
restoration, while it must seriously em
barrass and obstruct the representation
ef the popular energies of National
industry and enterprise.
And whereas, For these reasons it
is now deemed essential to the public
welfare to a more perfect restoration of
Constitutional law and order, that eaid
last mentioned proclamation as afore
said, issued on the 29th of May, 1665,
should be modified, and that the full
benificent pardon conceded thereby
should be opened and further extended
to a large number of persons who by
its aforesaid exceptions have been hith
erto excluded from the executive clem
ency; Now, therefore, be it known. That
I, Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the full pardon prescribed
in said proclamation of the 29th of
May, 1S65, shall henceforth be opened
and extended to all persons who direct
ly or indirectly participated in the late
rebellion, with the restoration of all
privilegee, immunities, and rights of
property, except as to property with
regard to slaves, except in cases of le
gal proceedings under the laws of the
United States, but upon this condition,
nevertheless, that every such person
who ehall seek to avail himself of this
pardon, shall take and subscribe to the
following oath, and shall cause the
same to be registered for permanent
preservation in tne same manner ana
with the same enect, and with the same
oath as is prescribed in said proclama
tion of May 29th, I860, viz.:
I do solemnly swea- or affirm, in the
presence of Almighty God, that I will
heneeforth support, protect and defend
the Constitution and the Union of the
States thereunder; and that I will, in
like manner, abide by and faithfully
support ell the laws and proclamations
which have been made during the late
rebellion, with reference to the eman
cipation cf slaves, so help me God.
The tollowing persons and no others
are excluded from the benefits of this
proclamation nnd said proclamation of
the 29th of May, 1S65, namely:
rirst, The chief or pretended chief
executive officers, including the presi
dent, vice-president, and all the beads

confederate or rebel government, and

the said pretended confederate govern

grade of Brigadier General, and a
naval rank or title above that of Cap

be Governor of a State, while main
taining, abetting or submitting to and
