CITY ELECTION.
- Remember that our annual Charter I
1 Election lakes platfe oa Monday the 6:h 1
day of April one week- from next
Monday. I here have been ao ticket
nominated as yet, cohse'quently we can
not direct the attention of voters to this
or that man as being either competent
c .
or incompetent; but we can say to each
and every voter, be careful in your
coQventiOQs'that good men are selected:
men that will work for "the interests of
the city. We want men that can and
will devote some time to city affairs.
Our city is just new where it is highly
nnportant to have thorough mea in the
Council. We have interests at stake

ticket merely because he is a "good fel

dozen votes; but select the best men for
the phce, aud then, when such have
been selected,' as" We' doubt not they
will be, see to' it that they are elected,
nnd that no "cock ard bull stories'' are
circulated by Democrats on the eve of
election to cause their defeat.
THE ITEnCL. SPIIIIT.
Many people think, becaose of the
oft repeated assertion that a Democratic
triumph In national affcirs is a rebel
victory, that all this talk is solely for
pany purposas. They have become
o accustomed to these things that they
tire looked upon as assertions made
only for temporary party triumphs
JJut do lhe facts substantiate tbe belief.
We thought before the war that all
ihe bluster and blow about dissolving
the union was mere windy talk, but we
lound it was something more. They
talked it so much that they were com
pelled to act. Just so- it m now. We
do not believe that at' present there is
any definite purpose in the minds of
the rebel element to renew the strug
gle, but should they continue to threaten
assassination and bloodshed for a length
of time without receiving a inost'sca:h-
ing rebuke at the baHbtt-box they will
become emboldeued to a renewal of
their former effort to get control of the
covernment by force of armr if they
cannot succeed with the ballot. e
find a large number of Democratic
papers iu the north, as well as their co-
. . a.a
workers in the south, either boldly or
coverily according to the sagaci'.y and
daring of ihe writers advocation the
assassination of officers who may be
elected by Republicans. ' And vh"t Is
inos-t significant, and shows clearly
what the tendencies of such advocacy
is, is the fact that those papers which
uuiuesi iu iui tuurse are me very

tyrants and rascals, and that it would
be doing the country a service to "re-
move" them, will have its effect. It I
can even now be seen, and even here I
in Nebraska. We find men who, at
the close of the war, would emphati
cally denounce the doctrines advocated j
by the murder-breeding and peace-
destroying writers, now eaying naught
against them, but by their silence and
countenance giving a tacit consent to
their correctness. We find men who
get up in public and unblushingly pro
claim-not that they have been rebels,
but that they ate . rebels, and stand
ready to carry the southern banner

TIIEDFFEUEXCE
There is a vast difference whose
ox
it is that is gored in political aad social
as well as in business affairs. The
Dtmocratic papers' of the country treat
as a fine joke the fact that secret organ-
I izations exist throughout the South,
whose priucipal amusement consists in
shooting a "nigger" occasionally and
threatening others if they dare to as
sert their rights as freemen. What
a difference it would make in the tone
of these Democratic journals should
these persecuted freedmen presume to
organize themselves into "Kuklux
Klaus," even for their own protection.
Words would be inadequate to express
their holy horror that persons with a
black skin dared to do such a thing, and
we would at once be told that all whites
were to be massacred by these fiends.
Hut it is a mere pleasant amusement
which the "chivalry" alone are per
mitted to indulge in, according to the
Democratic theory.
IXTEIIXAL IlEVEXCE.

For tbe Herald.
Mr. Editoii.
Qur precinct and county conventions
being about to be held, I deem it fitting
and proper to call the attention of the
electors of Cass and the Slate at large
lo the importance of harmony and unity
of feeling in ihe selection of candidates
There are those in the Slate who.
seeking preferment, not from a desire
to do the people service so much as to
gratify their own ambition, are even
now severing the party into rings and
cliques. This is a process which, like
leaven, may ferment until the entirety
of the Republican party may be a se
ries of little vacuities in tne great furn
ace through which we shah be forced
to rass next autumn livery true
hearted Republican in Nebraska should
tend lo unity; ind all tuch egotistica
barnacles as adhere to us only to benefit
themselves by a hold oil the public pa
should be cooly but effectually dropped
L.et eacuand every one oi us put on
the harness with a determination to
work incessantly for the people's favor
ites who receive the nominations at our
approaching Slate convention; and i
each couuty lel the delegations be
unanimous in their choice and thei
work. Backbiting old and tried public
servants is a poor way to show one
patriotism. The people rre awake.
The echo and loom of the Republica
wiclory iQ New Hampshire is still rol
ing over the prairies of the West. Let
us remember that it was by hearty and
persisted co-operatioa on the part o
I the good and true of our party in that
State that we were victorious. Th
came method and the same earnes
work here will win like fruit. That
man or that ring o? men in any county
I as a a
ot neorasua, who, by wire-working or
J hoodwiokiDg, try to bamboozle the Ke
ublicans into forming little, inglorious
nogs or adherents to pap-suckers,
must be watched and held in distrust
until they prove their faith by working
with the masses for the advancement of
the banner o? Republicanism. They
cannot and shall not control. The peo-
Ie hold the destinies of the Union in
their own hands, and we adjure them
to be careful that their Representatives
be true and tried men, and not mere
palavering office-seekers. Look to it,
lectors of Nebraska, that the standard
bearers of Republicanism in this Siate
be pure men. Beware of wire-workers,
office-seekers; men who make a barter
nd trade affair of the people's deares1
berties. Sflect those in whom you
have not been deceived, whose records
re consistent, and who never cajole
aud button h-tle a voter. Reme.uber
he lesson of "the kiss," whereby a Re-
eemer was betrayed, aud guard your
right and liberties with increacinz
watchfulness if you would not have
them crucified. Organize Republican
Clubs in every precinct. Let the
young men meet aud invite speakers to
address them. Let the old urge on the
young in the great'work of redemption
before us. Procrastination is but anoth
er name for defeat. Enerjrv is the
ynomyn for success. Our cause is sa
cred. Let it then be advocated with
fervor and fearlessness. Reason nev
er refuses truth; but truth must be
brought to light. Stir up the fires on
every homestead in the land, and as
the blaze grows aud strengthens so wil
truth and victory be palpable, plain and
glorious for us and those who follow.

IMPEACU-IIE-XT Tit 1 11..
At half past twelve last Monday, the
Senate resolved itself into a Court of
Impeachment. After the organization
Mr. Davis submitted a resolution post
poning the trial till all the States were
represented. Lost.
Mr.-Stanberry stated that himself
aud brother counsel bad been engaged
every hour since the Court last u.et in
preparing an answer, and regretted
that longer t':me had not been granted,
but they submitcd the answer which
they h .d prepared.
Judge Curtis read the answer. In
the first article the respoudet t ciuotes
the original act esUibLshine ihe otfice
of Secretary of War. It says Stanton
was appointed by President Lincoln
and retained by him (Johnson) after
becoming 1'resident, and becjiuiii? sat
ufied that the said Stanton was doing
the public service a great injury he
removed him under the constitution.
denies thai said Stanton was iu legal
possession cf the. War office, and
denies t"hathe ever pontemplated action
comraryjo tne i.aw9. . Me also deuis s
that this act ofr'emuvin Siantou "con
stitutes a high crime and misdemeauor
in office. The remainder of the ans
wer csusists of a' long Ieg;il arjjumeui
against the tenure of office bill aud iu
favor of ihe Piesident's right to remove
cabinet officers at pleasure.
Mr. Sianberry rt ad the answer to
the second article. He deuies all the
the chi rges in this article, and main
tains that at the lime he issued the or
der of appointment to Lorenzo Thomas
there was a vacancy in the War Of
fice.
For answer to the third article the
respondent denies that he made a ly
appointment to the War Office, but
simply authorized Gen. Thomas to act
ad interim.
For answer to the fourth article, the
respondent denies having courpired
with Gen. Thomas or any other person
to prevent Sianton from holding office
as Secretary of War. He further de
nies having authorized any force to be
used in removing Stanton; he dwells
ou this at length, and except! to all the
allegations made.
For answer to iLe fifth article, the
respoudent denies having hindered the
execution of the tenure of office act
euner in tne city ot nastiingoin or
elsewhere, as in reply to lhe fourth ar
tide he denies the sufficiency of the
charge.
In answer to the sixth article the re
spondenl deuies thai he attempted the
possession to himself of any property
of the United States.
Fjr answer to the seventh article the
respondent denies all charges made
ihereia, and states that the allegations
are .nsufhcient.
For answer to the eighth article he
denies all intention of violence, and
says be simply wauled to get the mat
ter before the courts
In answer to the ninth article he pro
ceeds lo detail the interviews between
himself and General Emory, and de
nies having requested Gen. Emory or
any other officer lo violate or disobey
any law or any rule for the regulation
of the army, aud he also denies having
said or done anything at any interview
wiih Gen. Fmory which can be con
strued as high crime and misdemeanor
Mr. Evarts proceeded to read the
answer lo the tenth article. It starts
out with an allusion lothe Philadelphia
Johnson convention. The President
goes on to say that the convention adop
ted a declaration or principles and ap
pointed a delegation lo wait upon the
President who was present at the time
He theu goes on to detail the interview
which took place between him aud ihe
delegation in the While House. He
says uis speech on that occasion was
incorrectly reported, and that the ex
tracts quoted in the article in question
by the Ho ie of Representatives are
not parts of his speech. He makes tbe
same statement with regard to his
Cleveland speech, and also denies the
correctness cf the passages quoted in
the nrti le from his Sl. Louis speech.
In further answer to this article he
protects that he has not been unmind
ful of the high duties of his office.
He denies having iried to bring Con
gress into contempt and asserts that
during his official career he has always
acknowledged the authority aud legal
iiy of Congress. He claims all his
speeches were delivered in the exer
cise of bis rights as an American citi
izen, for which he cannot be questioned.
In answer to article eleven he de
nies that in a public speech in Wash
ington he saidwthe present Congress
was not a lawful Congress, aud would
not be until the Southern States were
represented, and insists upon being per
mitted the use of freedom of speech
and opinioa.
At three o'clock the reading of the
answer concluded. The document
makes about five newspaper columns.
Mr. Boulwell, from the managers,
requested that the managers be al
lowed a copy of the President's answer.
He said the board will be ready w;th
its replication at this court at one o'clock
lo-morrow.
Mr. Evarts then rose and said that if
the Court would allow he would re
quest that the President aud his coun
sel be allowed thirty days in which lo
prepare for trial.
Senator Howard moved it lay on the
table until after the mauagers filed
iheir replication.
Mr. Bingham said the managers
were ready to argue the question now,
whereupon Mr. Howard withdiew his
motion.
Gen. Logan, of the managers, then
argued against the motion.
Mr. Evarts followed, and argued nt
length in favor of further lime.
Mr. Wilson, of the managers, ar
gued against granting the motion.
Mr. Stanberry closed the argument
with a strong appeal to the Senate for
further time
From the Commonwealth.
GOOD NEWS IOK XEllItASli-A! !
THE SALT I'liORLbM AI
PROidlEf SOLUTION. LIN
COLN THE IllVAL OF S1ICA-
CUSE.
We are happy to announce to ihe
people of Nebraska, to our eastern
friends, who are about to teule among
us, and lo ihe Missouri valley general
ly, thai lhe tangible proofs ot the great
value of the Salt tarings of Nebraska
are to be forthcoming sooner than we
anticioated. Seeing is believing So
we have not b-'eu asiuuuhed at the
apparent apathy of the people of the
ultra Missouri regions, upon the salt
question. JNotuiug has been done to
develope the resources of the great
ball Basirs of Lancaster county, and
as few had any but the dime.t concep
tion of the streams of wealth thai are
flowing away through lhe tall grass
and black mould of our waiting prairies
it is uo: wonderful that the tales thai
occasionally come lo their ears of sail
being shoveled up aud carted away by
the settlers, from the level floor of Na
tures Store-house, were regarded as
Lt-good uatured humbug, ine mere
effervescence ot iUc exuberant western
imagination.
But now we shall be able to convince
the most incredulous.
Mr. A. C. Lichonor, an experienced
S.ilt manufacturer from Syracuse, af
ter spending a week in prospecting the
i-priugs belonging to the S;ate in this
vicinity, proceedtd to Omaha and ap
plied to the State officers, who are at
present the guardians of the Stale lands,
tor permission to establish a Salt Man
ufactory at Lincoln. After consulta
tion an agreement was made, and a
coutracl drawu up aud entered iLto on
ihe pari of Mr. L. and the State, sub
ject of course lo lhe approval of the
Legislature, whereby .Mr. L. binds
himself to erect all the manchiuery
it may be necessary for the accomplish
meni of thai purpose, to invest 5000,
at least, within 90 days, and lo kep
the works in operation. If the Legis
lature assent, as il undoubtedly will
Mr. L. will lease the Springs upon the
following basis, which is almost ideuti
cal with the terms mde with ihe man
ufacturers at Syracuse, by ihe Staie
of New York. He is to manufacture
salt tor five years, keeping his supply
up lo the demand of the market, or lhe
means of transportation, erecting
at his own cost all the necessary works
aud machinery. At ihe expiration of
five years, he will for the remaining
term of his lease, pay a royalty to the
State, of two cents per bushels, on all
salt manufactured.
Mr. L has returned to Lincoln, and
goue to work with a promptness that
shows that be is in earnest, lie pro
poses to construct drying pa cs or vats
of water proof cement, tor which the
materials are at hand in great abun
dance. He will adopt the system of
soh r evapoiation, for which the cli
mate of Nebraska is so happily adapt
ed. Much has been said as to the
strength of lhe water cf these springs.
As a lest of thai matter, Mr. L. finds,
what we from the evidence of our own
eyes can verify, tlmi m ihe bottom of
ihe streams issuing I ium the springs,
is found pure crystals of salt, and these
gathered together often in a lump or
uugget an inch or two in thickness
So it is nonsense to talk aboul the
"per cent." &c. The fact that the
crystals sink to the bottom of tbe water
is proof positive that the water
contains as much salt in solution as il
can hold, and the "settlings" are so
much over.
Mr. Lichonor intends to be ready
very soon to load the long line of teams
bringing building material lo Lincoln,
with a return cargo of salt, which will
be an improvement upon the present
plan of returning to the river empty
The establishment of these works
will inevitably, give a sudden impulse
to the R. R. lines that are proposed-to
concentrate uerc.

out the eastern States on the 20th,
blockading railroads aud piling up the
snow to the height of fifteen feet in
many places. What a difference be
tween here aud there. Here the far
mers were all busy plowing aud sow
ing wheat and everything betokened
settled weather. The followiug
despatches will show the extent cf the
storm.
Nw York, March 20. The most
terrific storm for years commenced
last night, and still continues iLi? morn
ing with a heavy north east gale, and
snow which badly drifted in the streets,
Railroad travel is suspended, aud nav
igation by the Brooklyn ferries ery
difficult, only occassional trips being
made. No account of disasters yet re
ceived. Philadelphia, Mirch 21. The
storm after raging twenty hours left
drifts in some places fifteen feel deep.
The railroads are blocked up.
New York, March 21. The storm
still continues to-night, unabated, nnd
travel is much impeded. Considerable
damage was done by the gale.
Boston, March 21. The snow
sit rui has been the severest of the sea
son, and still continues.
The "Bigcrst Fool." The New
York Sun. is responsible for ihe follow
ing: George Francis Train said some
years ago thai he uttempted lo write
books, and people called him a fool;
thalhetooka prominent part in poll
tics and they returned the tame verdict;
that he undertook to uphold the Amer
can naiion abroad, and be was still
accused of folly. "I ihen turned my
atttention," he added, "to making mon
ey; I made it and tince uo one has
called me a fool." Last autumn Mr.
Train attended the Jockey Club races
at the Jerome Park, and betted very
freely, but always as it happened, on
the losing horse. The last day, hav
ing wagered large odds on the favorite,
he again lost, and supremely disgusted
be took out his pocket-book while on
the members' stand, and cried out: ' I'll
tet five to one I am the biggest fool in
the v'wy or county of Ne.v Yoik."
After repeating the chalenge several
times a man standing on th course be
low, looked up and with hi porimonnaie
in his band, said: "Halloa, stranger,
I'll take that bet, provided your name
isn't George Francis" Train."
There is a di.-pute as to how Chi
cago is to be paved. Prentice darkly
suggests: "Why not pave it with
good in'enticns?"

litis machine Is all that is atked to prove wuct is as
serted. Among mauv other de'ired advantage of this
Planter over other", the fol. owing u guaranteed.
lsl It runs un four u;Aeejr,icoijsequently
is LIGHTER oj DRAFT than any other
Corn - I'lantt r.
2d. The depth of planting is regulated
by the extra wheels forward, from two to
tix inch's deep, as desired, rftctlt and
with certainty.
3d, With two horses and only one man
it will plant from 15 20 ACRES of
CORA A DA Y, covtring jerfectly.
4th, It will drop the corn scattered in
the hill, so it can be thinned out when it
comes up. One great fault with Planters
is their failure to this'.
5th, It will plant the toughest prairie
sod, the roughest or foulest land.
Gth, Thia Planter has separate a nd dis
tinct coverers which neter ait to cover the
Corn, forming a ridge which is pressed
by concave wheels equally upon all side,
making it the onij Planter that is a jws
