5Shc lri)rns!ui jfirtaW. PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, OCT.- 24, 1867 DlSTRIItUTE;PAPERS. We publish on the first page of this week's paper an article from ihe New York Tribune headed "Warning in Season," which should be read by every Republican throughout the land. It urges Republicans to see to it that good sound papers are placed in the hands of every voter who will read them. We endorse this doctrine, and believe, with the Tribune, that there wou?d be little ground for doubt as to the result of all future elections if this course was carried out. The principles of the Republican party are such as will command the co-operaiion of the masses for all time to come if they are only placed before them in the proper light. It is tbe steady falling of the water that wears away the stene, so it is with political matters, the constant reading of the great truths contained in tbe Republican faith will wear away the prejudice which is entertained by many against the party. The Democ racy have an immense advantage over us in the struggle which is generally made just prior to an election, from tbe fact that they appeal to the passions and prejudices of people, while it re quires an exercise of the reasoning faculties to induce a change from the bigotry and hate of pro-slavery democ racy to tbe more liberal and humane principles of the Republican faith. The passions and prejud-ces are easier worked upon and excited than the rea soning faculties, hence the advantage of tbe Democracy in a short race. Let every Republican in Nebraska see to it that LijDemocratic neighbor reads a sound Republican paper durinf the coming year. MRS- LINCOLN. The widow of the late President Lincoln is gaining a very unenvial'e reputation just now. She recently sent a quantity of valuable clothing to an auctioneer in New York, with in structions to sell them, giving her rea sons for so doing in a note to the auc tioneer, that she was in destitute cir cumstances and was compelled to sell her clothing in order to support herself. The New York World publishes this note and charges the Republican party with all manner of ingratitude towards Mrs. Lincoln. The Springfield (111.) Journal replies to this assault of the World by publishing the official statement of the Administrator of Pres ident Lincoln's estate, showing that Mrs. Lincoln has received, in cash, since the death of the Presidant, about eighty five thousand dollars, besides a quanti ty of real estate owned by President Lincoln in Illinois and Iowa. Betides this she received twenty-five thousand dollars as the salary which Mr. Lin coin would have received as President for one year had he lived, and an appropriation from Congress, of twelve thousand dollars, making a total of over one hundred and twenty thousand dolloars which she has re ceived in cash since Mr. Lincoln's death, exclusive of the real estate and personal property. There is no true American but will say that the widow of President Lincoln is entitled to a competence at the hands of the Amer ican people, no matter what her per sonal merits may be ; but the only question is how much does it take to support a person in the style in which Mrs. Lincoln is entitled to live. Does any one suppose there is a possibility of her statement being true that she is compelled to sell her wardrobe, when the amount of money she has received is proven to be over S120.000 ? It is humiliating to the American people not to the Republican party alone that any such statement as that made by Mrs. Lincoln to the New York auc tioneer should receive publicity ; but after it has been made public after a medium is found which has so little respect for the honor cf the nation as to give publicity to it for the purpose of endeavoring to make party capital of it all that can be done is to show the exact state of affairs in connection therewith ; to show just how much reason there is for such statement, whether it places Mrs. Lincoln in bad light before the world or not. Tbe honor of tha nation should not be tar nished for the sake of screening any individual, even though that individual is Mrs. Lincoln. Many of her ac quaintances, however, are of the opin ion that she is partially insane, and has been so for several years. Indeed, in tbe light of her recent action and the facts in the case it is to be hoped that, for the honor of the American peo ple, her own and htr children's sake, her insanity can be established beyond a donbt. Upon what other premises can her action be accounted for ? It is well known to the American people that she had little sympathy with her husband in his endeavors to crush the rebellion, but it is hardly to be suppos ed that she world resort to such means for the purpose of giving any party the benefit of it; neither can any reasona able man suppose that she is as desti tute as her statement wouli indicate. DIFFICULT TO DETRMIE. A correspondent writing to the Nebraska City JVetrs from Mt. Pfts ant precinct, in this county, says: "The election on the 8th passed off quietly, and as was anticipated, the entire Radical ticket elected, from the fact that neither party polled a full vote. The political complexion of the county is pretty difficult to determine; but so far as heard, the Radical major ities is in the ascendency. That the majority (170) is even so great, is a question of facts." We are sorry for this poor fellow if he really thinks it difficult to determine the political complexion of Cass county. He must be a recent immigrant to this State if he has not yet found out that Cass county is considered "hopelessly Republican." But then, we can excuse the fellow on the ground that he ap pears to have felt it a duty to say some thing, and really had nothing he could say that would sound well in a Demo cratic paper unless he manufactured it. It is somewhat funny to hear him claim that the radical ticket was elected "from ihe fact that neither party polled a full vote." It is true that neither party polled a full vote; but if the cor respondent knows anything at all about the "political complexion" of Cass county, he knows very well that with a full vote of both parties the radical majority would have been over two hundred, instead of being in any doubt TRIAL. OF DAVIS. The New York Express says the trial of Jeff. Davis will probably com mence on the 2Sth inst. In accordance with military orders negroes have to be drawn for the same as whites in selecting a jury, and it has been the fortune of Davis to have nine negroes and three whites drawn as jurymen in his case. A strong effort will be made to secure a jury of whites. LATEST NEWS, The Cincinnati Enquirer presents the name of George II. Pendleton as the choice of the Democracy of Ohio and the Northwest for the next Presi dency. Gen. Mower has issued an order announcing a call for a convention in Louisiana. The delegates are ordered to assemble at New Orleans on the 23d of November. A Providence dispatch of the 21st says Gen. Sheridan arrived to-day and was met at the depot by a committee from the City Council. He was escort ed to the Governor's mansion, where he made a short address of welcome. A Nashville dispatch of the 21st says, three ballots were had to-day in the Senate and two in the House with out electing a Senator. Stokes led in the Senate and Brownlow in the House Bath houses meet in joint convention to morrow, when it is probable that Brownlow will be elected. KILL THE GRASSHOPPERS. We would suggest to the farmers of Nebraska, especially of that portion where the grasshoppers have deposited their eggs this fall, the propriety of keeping out the prairie fires until spring. Let them act in concert, and save the grass until after the eggs are all hatched out next spring, and then set fires simultaneously all over the country, and tbe young grasshoppers will be destroyed by millions. It would not, of course, destroy all of them, but enough would be killed to save several hundreds of bushels of wheat and corn. It will be no more trouble, and scarcely as much, to carry out this plan, as it is to have prairie fires started up at hap hazard when no one except the person starting it is prepared. And then, it is much better to leave the long grass on the prairies during the winter, as it serves to keep the snow from drifting, and acts as a fertilizer of the soil, It is also desirable that fires be kept out of the young timber; and by havirg a general understanding in regard to the time of setting fires there would be little difficulty in keeping it within the bounds desired. We hope our farmers will consider this matter, and if neces sary hold meetings in each and every neighborhood, and discuss the propriety of adopting it. We learn that the people of Saunders county contemplate the formation of a society for the pres ervation of timber in that county. Let them consider the above proposition at the same time, and they may "kill two birds" etc. 1 ARE THEY EXDED ? The St. Joseph Herald, which is neither "fish, fie.-h or fowl" is claim ed by no party, and claims an affinity with all parties says "the political questions of the days before the war are gone. The questions concerned in the war ended with it." What does that paper suppose the "questions con cerned in the war," that ended with it, were. " Is the question of Human Rights ended? Is the question as to whether the government shall be again deluged in blood ended? Is the ques tion whether treason is a crime settled? While we believe it to be the policy of the Copperhead parly to distract atten tion from all questions "concerned in the war," we do not believe the hun dreds of thousands of soldiers can be made to believe that their service was for naught, and that the whole question is ended while it is claimed as a right that ex-rebels should again manage and control this government without at least giving some guarantees that the scenes of '60-61 will cot be re-enacted the first time that the people differ from them. Are all the questions concerned in the war ended while IeadiDg opponents of every principle for which the war was waged on the part of the government are clamoring loudly for the repudiation of the debt contracted by the government for the DurDose of carrvins on the war? We a a w do not wonder that the opponents the war desire to render oblivious a "questions concerned in the war." Their record on them is a stench in the nostrils of all loyal people, and the ir only hope of ever attaining political re spectability is to distract public atten tion by delaring all those questions ended, ' and by endeavoring to mak some other question the all absorbin one. It is the hope of every true ma n that all questions "concerned in the war" may soon be settled, and settled in such manner as to ensure the per manency of our Republican institutions out no man of sense can be made to believe that these questions are entirel settled yet, and the loyal people of th country are not going to lose sight of them until they are settled in a manne which shall be just to the government and just to its defenders. THE CAKER CASE. The second trial in Omaha of Otway G. Baker for the murder of Woolsey D. Higgins terminated last week. It resulted in a verdict of "Guilty.'' The counsel for the prisoner demanded that the jury be polled, and each juryman answered that guilty was his solemn verdict. The counsel then gave notice of a motion for a new trial, on the grounds that one of the jurors was a minor, and another not a citizen of the State. The motion will probably be made, argued and decided upon the return of Judge Lake, who is now holding a term of court in this county THE STYLE OF ARGUMENT. The style of argument used by Dem ocratic journals, and that which is ex pected to have weight with their read ers, is illustrated in the following gen tlemanly (?) and argumentative sen tences from the Nebraska City J"ews, applied to prominent and respected citizens of the State, whose great fau't consists in differing from Morton on political questions: "The Legislature, manipulated by Thayer, Tipten, Esterbrook and other niggers." "A legislature which was happily composed mostly of fools and asses. "A big oted and deluded lot of asses." REPUDIATION. As there is no political contest in this part of the country just now, perhaps the following articles of faith laid down by one of the leading copperhead pa pers may be considered in its proper light by some of our friends who are haDging on to that party without being able to give any particular reason for so doing. We copy the sentence ex actly as it is given and endorsed as one of the cardinal principles of the cop perbead party : "No negro suffrage taxation of United States bonds, or repudiation! and in the event these are not accepted, Repudiation without Qualifica SAVE THE LOCUSTS. A correspondent in the Prairie Farmer gives the following as his plan for preserving Locust trees from the ravages of the borer: "I would cut the old worm-eaten tree down, but would leave one sprout into which, in its second summer, I would drive half a dozen shingle nails, re peating this each ensuing summer. This oxidized sap is not agreeable to the taste of the borers, and they will not trouble trees so treated. I am ap plying this plan to sprouts in my door yard, and they are fast rising to the dignity of trees, free from the common enemy. This plan has been formerly recommended. It is certainly effectual only when used as a preventive. Try this cheap experiment. The ' Local" of the Council Bluffs JVonpareil says in a recent issue: "We have no apologies to make for the religious character of our columns this morning." Now, we think that is a little "steep" for a Republican journal. If a Democratic paper were to acci dentally get something of a religious or mural nature in its columns it might be necessary for it to make some ex cuse; but it is generally considered legitimate reading in a Republican journal. We can account for this sen tence in the Nonpareil only on the ground that it deems it necessary be cause of the Democratic majority in that city. How the Democratic Vote was Drought out. The Philadelphia Post publishes a literal copy of the secret Democratic circular sent to the County Chairman by the State Central Committee, and offers to produce the document if its authenticity is doubted. It is an elab orate plan for polling the whole Dem ocratic vote, and contains the following startling passages. "In very slow districts I would sug gest a special contract with active men. Thus, in I860 the district polled all the Democratic votes; in 1S66, 120 Dem ocratic votes; now for every Democratic vote over 110 we will pay you a fixed sum the day after the election. This is simply an incentive to bring men out, for the vote of 1S66 shows that they are there. "Be very careful of this paper. Keep it entirely private. If yeu have any doubt of the men you employ, tell others of your friends that you have placed money in their hands. "Wm. A. Wallace, Ch'm." CONSISTENCY. Gen. S. F. Cary, one of the success ful candidates for Congress, in Ohio, elected by the copperhead party, is not only in favor of Negro suffrage, but is also in favor of liquor" prohibition Verily, the copperhead party do travel in crooked paths. Understands it to a T. Genera Sheridan, in a conversation at Patter son, New Jersey, while visiting that place on his present journey through the country, wa3 aked what he meant by the remark in bis response to the welcoming speech, that " Rebellion m'ist not be made honorable.'' His answer was prompt and emphatin : "They mean," said he, "that if you return the Copperhead party to power, you disgrace your soldiers and destroy their work. You return to power a puny wliu mean uvjilug lcaa -liau ie- pudiation of the national debt, and the payment of the rebel debt, and the restoration to power of the worst ele ments of the rebellion." THE ELECTION. The official vote of Nemaha county will be found in to day's issue. It shows the election of a set of officials who will doubtless give satisfaction in the management of their respective du ties; at least time only can demonstrate otherwise, as to-day they are all men of known integrity and business ca pacity. Irrespective of political ante cedents they have our best wishes, and will receive our aid as far as needed in the discharge of their duties. The offices are created for the benefit ot the people, and whosoever detracts from an officers ability to discharge those duties endangers the welfare of the people. That matters were considerably mix ed no one can doubt upon a perusal of the table of returns. Four tickets were in the field. The Republican Convention ticket received five of the officers; the Democratic ticket two, by majorities of two and twelve; the Inde pendent Republican ticket one. Taking the vote on Clerk, politically, and it stands thus: Hacker and Hoover, Re publicans, 515; Lett, Democrat, 272; Republican majority 243! This is but an average and fair test. 227 was Butler's majority for Governor, June. '66; showing an increase to this time of 16, with barely one half of the reg istered voters out! The ratio of in crease would have been much greater with a full vote, as the Democracy; knowing that their only hope lay in getting out their whole vote, polled within 40 votes their full strength of a year ago. - As has been said, perhaps, a thous and times since the recent State elec tions, the great strength of the Repub lican party has been a weakness, by engendering an overweening confi dence in its leaders that they could carry most anything. In the States, as here, side issues and local matters have been loaded on until "the hair that broke the Camel'3 back" has almost been reached. We must learn one of two things: to let side issues alone and local strife; or hold no Conventions when the National principles of the party are not involved. Had either of these been pursued no division would have occurred either here or in the States, and the party would have been just as firm for the election of 'G8. As it is we have no fear but that the Republicans of Nemaha will present a more solid front in '63 than ever be. f 0 r e .

The Celebration by the Odd Fellows yesterday, on the occasion of th meet ing of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska and the dedication of the Hall of Frontier Lodge No. 3, was one of the most successful and grand demonstra tions of the kind ever witnessed in our city. A large number of the brother hood from Iowa and different parts of Nebraska were in attendance, and the procession to and from the Court House presented an imposing appearance. They assembled at the Hall at half past one, and the ceremonies of dedication were performed, after which they marched to the Court House, where an eloquent and able address was deliver ed by A. D. Jones, Esq., of Omaha. They then returned to the Hall. Again in the evening they assembled at the Hall, opening in the degree of Rebecca, and a number of ladies and gentlemen were initialed. After this they adjourned to McLennan's Hall to partake of a supper that had been pre pared for them. McLennan's Hall was elegantly decorated, and the tables supplied with almost every good thing that the taste can desire, in fact it was one of the most superb feasts ever prepared in Nebraska. After supper part of them returned to the Hall, and a part to a dance at McCann'a Hall, which, we understand, was also a su perb affair. Odd Fellowship has grown to large proportions in Nebraska, and may ever be seen fulfilling its Heaven ordained mission of Friendship, Love and Truth. rress, 17th. JSeSHon. James Brooks, of New York, and Samuel McKee, of Tenn sylvania, have been appointed Govern ment Directors of the Union Pacific Railroad, by the President. The other Government Directors, appointed a few weeks ago, are George Ashman, of Massachusetts; John S. Railings, of Missouri, and Jesse L. Williams, of Indiana. J&S? The Milwaukee Wisconsin takes ground in favor of "female suf frage," and asserts that as a general thing "females of the same class in society are better educated than male3 in all those duties which would enable them to act the part of a good citizen at the ballot-box. and instinctively more moral than men, and therefore, on all those questions in which right and justice, and respect for the religion of the B;ble are involved, they would be apt to sustain such representatives as would give a higher moral tone to our legislatures and Congress." SfAt the late election in Lower Canada, a Mr La Francois, who was a candidate for the Provincial Legisla ture, was offered S400 to retire from the canvass, which he declined. He was afterwards forcibly abducted and rarn'pd off, so that he could not be present at me nomination until aner his competitor was declared elected. m m m ESF'Gov. Low, of California, illus trates the position of the Democrats o: that Siate, by an anecdote of a man who entered the Pacific Club, the rooms of which were formerly occupied as a gambling house, and stepped up to a party of gentlemen who were playing cards, offering to bet a dollar. "But this is not a gambling house." "Is that so?' said the man looking about; "why, this is the same old place and the same old crowd." JSJ George F. Sawyer, assistant engineer of the Portsmouth Navy Yard, has been court martialed and sentenc ed to be reprimanded by the Secretary of the Navy, and to be suspended from duty on half pay, for an offence which occurred in this wise: It appears that he ad two or three other officers, on duty at ihe yard, were talking one day, and finally got into a political discussion. Congress was denounced as an uncon stitutional body, guilty of usurpation, and of enacting unjust and tyranical laws, and, in the heat of the argument, Mr. Sawyer responded by saying that Congress would fail of it3 duty unless it impeached the President. This re mark was reported by the other officers lo the Secretary of the Navy, who made haste to hare Sawyer court martialed. ESFThe Germans have been count ing the people of the world again. Dr. Behm, in his ''Geographical Annual," recently published at Gotha, estimates its population at 1,350,000,000, thus distributed: Europe 285,000,000; Asia 796,600,000; Australia and Polynesia 3,850,000; Africa ISS.000,000; and America 74.500,000. He states how ever, that there is no means of know ing the real population of Asia and Africa, as they contain the majority of the world's inhabitants, we probably do not know much more about it than before.
