The figures show that some of the
heavy Democratic "gains" in Ohio are
eimilar to those of California. Hamil-
ton county in which is the city of Cin-
cinnatti, is said lo show the heaviest
"gains" of any other in the State. In
order to show the exact amount of the 1
"gain" we give the Democratic vcte of
last year and this :

We published last week an i.em
from the Press recommending the hold
ing of a Rai'road Ccnvenlioa at some
future time, to take some action in re
gard to the Atchison and Nebraska
Railroad. As do definite plan has
been nted upon, nor any time specified
for meeting, we now suggest lhat, as a
preliminary step in ihe matter, th
County Commissioners of each river
county be requested to designate three
citizens of their respective counties to
meet at Nebraska City on the 21st of
November, tor the purpose ot consult-

the different opinions of the peo

be done io hasten its completion. Ex

OIIIQ
Ohio has not turned out quite so bad
as was reported last week. The Re
nublican candidate for Governor is
elected by about 2.000 majority. Bth
brancbes of the Legislature are Dem
ocratic. In lhe Senate the Democrats
have one majority, and in the House
three. The Democracy should make
the most of this victory they can, for
the people of Ohio will have learned a
lesson by next fall. The defeat of the
Republican candidates was not in con
eequence of a change in tbe political
sentiments of the people, but owing
solely to side issues. The tactics of
the Ohio Democracy were to attack
every weak point io the Republican
ranks without taking position them-
selves on any question, iney bad all
to gam and nothing to loss. It is much
easier playing the part of critic and
finding fault with what others do than
it is to originate and carry to success a
measure of national policy. Po the
Democracy of Ohio thought, and so
they acted.
3""Geo. W. Bungay, gossipping
about Thaddeus Stevens, says; "His
grey eyes are full of fire, and look you
squarely in lb face in conversation.
He has an eagle nose indicative of
ability and command. His thin and
compressed lips show his decision of
character, and his broad and lofty fore
bead is a dome of thought which would
make apbernologistleap with ecstasy."
ELECTION !' XEMAII.l.
We have "waited nnd watched" to
hear something defiohe from Nemaha
couDty, and finally receive the Adverti
ser with merely a list of those elected
nothing more. It does not say one
word as to whether they art Republi
cans, Democrats or neutrals; tut by
hunting up the county ticket we find
that four of those elected were on the
regular Republican ticket, one upon the
bolters ticket, and we presume the
others are Democrats. Those elected

nep congratulating the Republicans of
Nemaha on the defeat of the Bolters'
i,rUett and hope this little piece of tom-
foolery will teach them to do their
quarreling in Convention, and not carry

WHAT 1YIL.L. PL,ATTMOUTIl
DO t
The people of Cass County have j
civen their assent to the issuing of
S200.000 in County bonds to assist in
me building of the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad extension
through the County, and now we ask,
what will Plattsmouth do towards aiding
the road. It was used as an argument
by some against issuing county bonds
lhat the city would derive more benefit
from lhe road lhan the country, and
there is much truth ia the assertion.
The city should take at least S100.000
"lock in this road, aside from that au
thonzed by the county. Ihe city can
weI1 aord to do this, and we hope
'eP3 Wl11 be taken at an ear,y day to
authorize the lssuinfT of bonds. e
...
have every reason to believe that the
rnntis of Saunders and Lancaster
will do something to aid the construe-
,ion of lhi, roadf a3 h j, evidently to
lhe,r ,Dterest 10 do' and w,lh the cred"

Ve know that th'3 talk of a railroad
has become an old story to some of our
people, who have waited years to fee
lheir boPe8 realized; but when we take
I into consideration the surroundings I
1 the case, it is readily seen that we nev
I er had the same foundation for hope
that we have now, and there never was
I a time when action was needed more
than now. Let the people of Platts-

people of the ccunty have done theirs
aruj the day is close at hand when the

I THE CANVA IN DOUGLAS.
The Republican of the 15th. says:-
Yesterday was the day which the law
appointed for the canvassing of the
votes of the late county election, and at
2 o'clock in the afternoon the "county
cierk, with two freeholders, Messrs.
Reubtn Wood and J. F. Coflman, met
at the clerk's office to make the can
I vass. After consultation, the board
deemed it advisable, and adjourned till
4 12 o'clock.
At 4 1-2 o'clock the board came to
gether again, and canvassed the returns
0f all the precincts until ihey came to
Omaha precinct. This had been re
served till the last The board were
evidently afraid of it that they might
put their foot in it. But now they must
face the music. It puzzled them sorely,
But, after much twisting, they decided
t0 throw out both polls. As the Repub
lican ticket had a majority in the out-
side precincts, the effect of this decision
is, of course, to elect the Republican
county officers by majorities ranging
from 26 to 100 The Democratic can
didates, who were present, felt terribly
cbopfallen, and took themselves out of
the room as silently as possible.
Another effect of this decision it to
deprive Omaha precinct of all its pre
cinct officers.

LATEST NEWS-
The New York Times gives details
of an interview with the President, in
which the latter said lhe reports of the
Cabinet changes were unauthorized and
untrue. lie did not inciuae tne ar
Department, as he regarded lhat office
as virtually vacant, and he did not in
tend to make any change in haste, and
would act for the best interests of the
T 1. -11
country. He is urgea to rr move au
the Cabinet but Wells and Sianberry.
He said tbe elections did not surprise
him. Ohio has rebuked the two ex
tremes, defeating Thurman and Wade;
and negro suffrage, the only national
isue,has been defeated by 50.000.
This he regarded as a repudiation of
the Congressional policy of reconstruc
tion. He hoped this lesson woulJ be
followed everywhere, and that the peo
ple would avoid 'he dangerous extremes
f both parties, and look only to the
welfare of the country.
gGfThe Post's special says ihe
President has authorised lhe publica
tion of the tollowing statement:
Whoever shall be appointed Secretary
of War shall be appointed outright vice
Stanton removed, the President hold
ing the tenure of office bill 10 be un
constitutional, which opinion Stanton
concurrtd. in himself preparing a por
tion of the veto message denying the
power of Congress to pass such a bill.
The removal of Stanton being accom
plished, the President will simply send
a message nominating a successor;
should the Senate reject the nomina
tion and endeavor to reinstate Stanton,
the latter will be compelled to seek a
lecal remedy by mandamus and bring
the question of the constitutionality of
the tenure of office bill before the Su.
preme Court.
The suspension of Stanton was adopt
ed in iho first place not without abund
ant caution in order to bring the act
within the bill, but the President from
the first intended to make hit removal
absolute.
GORILLA.
J3arnum has secured a live gorilla
from Africa. In removing it from the
vessel to the museum, the animal be
came greatly enraged at the jarring it
was subjected to. In order to securely
remove him from the box in which he
was placed 10 his cage, a rope was in
serted and fastened to his chain. Bui
ib gorilla seized it, and pulled it away
from several men who grasped it. He
got it in the cage, untied it from the
chain, and dropped it through a hole.
A huge wrought iron bar was then in
serted, an inch and three quarters thick,
for the purpose of bringing out the
chain. The gorilla seized the bar,
pulled it away from two men noted for
their muscular strength, and then bent
the bar double the two ends actually
meeting. He was finally secured,
howarer. His funocs howls excited
all the animals, women fainted, and
children cried. An immense chain,
with a resistant force of six thousand
pounds, is attached to him. He is five
and a half feet high, with au eye like
a human being, and a face more resein
bln( man than monkey, and of color
like an elephant. His hand is as deli
cate as a woman's. When irritable he
is quieted by a few cloves or nutmegs.
ST"Says .he Republican, the Kan
sas Democracy "is waking up and
coming out of the retreat to which it
was driven by ropes and bayonets.'
Does the Republican mean lhat crimin
als who have escaped the hangman,
and rebels who have survived the war,
compose the Kansas Democracy ? S.

THE REASON
The Sacramento Union, in a wel
written artie'e on the recent election in
California, has the following
Those who regard this elecion as a
triumph in favor of obsolete Democra
cy. or as a verd.ct against the plans of
uurtess lur uie reconstruction oi me
cr. cr. .: t . i
c. omits, ur nil utin nmiiuu Ol uie coil-
duct of the President, are greatly in
error.
These things did not engage
the attention of the voters; or, if they
uiu ai an, it was omy to reuuee the ma
jority given against the head of the
Union ticket. A square vote on the
issue between the President and Con
gress to-dav would result in a majority
of 12,000 for the latter. The ruling
idea in the election last Wednesday was
jut this : That the people mean to ho'd
their leaders to fair and honorable
dealing in political affairs, and that ihev
will condemn any candidates who do n t
accord with this sentiment. That thf
innocent were made to suffer with lhe
iruiliy is th fault of lhat general ana
thy among Union voters which resulted
from the necessity of supporting catul
dates and sanctioning arts they could
not approve, or of staying away from
the p lls. Of the twenty-two thousand
four hundred voters registered in San
Franci-co, a quarter stayed away from
the polls; in Sacramento City one
eifjh'h of the registered voters did not
vole ; in the strong Union county of
Nevada, one of the local papers there
tells us that "out of 5 700 voters on the
Great Register
hardly 3.500 vot
were cast in the county." It was th
same, we presume, in nearly ail th-M
counties; and of those who did not
vote it issafetoassumethatiine-ienths
were of tbe Union party. With a
ticket such as the people would have
nominated, the Union vote of the State
tvould have been 20.000 more than ii
is recorded. They were utterly dis
gusted at the hypocrisy and corruption
of the politicians who assumed their
leadership, ar.d all the terror of party
discipline were as unavailing as the idle
wind. So may it ever be. In this de
gree of spirit, intelligence and honor
the welfare of the State is so safely
lodged thai no one need ever again de
spair of it.
ST The St. Louis Democrat de
scribes a "sailing carriage for the
Plains.' It has two upright jib sails,
and a sail on each spoke of the two
wheels, one on each side of the wagon,
with steering gear acting on the for
ward wheels, and provision for trans
ferring the wheel sails to the opposite
wheels. The inventcr i3 Charles P
Maczowizky, a German, who has been
a ialor. and has since spent several
yars in traveling on the plains. A
similar invention was once made in Illi
nois, at great expense, and proved a
total failure.
J5F"A New York paper states that
the latest strike in England is that of
the curates. "The curate, there, is a
hired servant of ihe regular rector, and
it is alleged, generally as hard worked
as ill paid. The curates met in Lon
don, recently, and adopted a sort of
declrration of independence. They
complain of excessive labor, inadequate
pay, and 'invidious personal distinc
tions. The curate often receives 8400
or SG00 per year from a rector who
has an income of 87,000 or S8.000.
The superior clergy are said to be
alarmed at this unexpected concert of
action, but sorely puzzled to know how
to equalize the Mnvidicus social dis
tinctions.' "
62?The Memphis Pout Is arguing
that the next Republican National Con
vention should be held in that city, on
the ground lhat it ought to be held upon
soil conquered by ihe Republican parly
from slavery a very good reason.

Fellow-Counthtmes: In appear

of . making any lengthy remarks, but
simply to express my approbation of the
ceremonies which have taken place to
day. My appearance on this occasion
will be the speech that I will make ;
my reflections and my meditations will
be in silent communication with the
dead, whose deeds we are here to com
memorate. I shall not attempt to give
utterance to the feelings and emotions
inspired by the addresses and prayers
which have been made, and to the
hymns which have been sung. I shall
attempt no sui'h thing. I am here
merely to give my countenance and aid
to the ceremonies on this occasion, but
I must be permitted to express my hope
that we may follow the example which
has been so eloquently alluded to this
afternoon, and which has been so clear
ly set by the illustrious dead When
we look on your vile-field, and think
of th? brave n n on both sides who
fell in the fierce struggle of battle, and
who sleep silently in their graves yes.
who sleep in silence and peace, after
the earnest conflict had ceased would
to God we of the living could imitate
their example as they lay sleeping in
peace in lheir tombs, and live together
in friendship and peace. Applause
You, my fellow-citizens, hve my ear
nest wishes, as you have had my efforts
in times gone by, in the earliest and
most trying f er'is to preserve the Union
of these States, to restore peace and
harmony to our distracted and divided
country, and you shall have my last ef
forts in vindication of the flag of the
Republic and of the Constitution of our
fathers.
