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.

OOO FELLOWS CELEBRA
TION. 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

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

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

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,"

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.
