CITY REPUBLICAN
TJOIVs
CO.WEX-
Tbe Republican voters of the city of
Flattsmouth are- requested to meet at
the Court House Hall this (Thursday;
evening, at 7 oclock, for the purpose
of placing in nomination suitable per
eons, tor be suppprted for the various
city offices at the election on Monday
next.
By order of the Committee.
H. D. HATHAWAY, Ch'n.
MEMBER OF CONGRESS.:
As it has become quite common in
these days for newspapers, as well as
individuals, to place before the public
the names of such men as are desired by
the people to fill certain 'offices, we
ph ce at the head of our columns this
week the name of Honorable T. M.
Marquett as the candidate of the
Republicans of Casss county for mem
ber of the 41st Congress. Ia present
' ing the name of Mr. Marquett, we
desire to say a few words in his sup
port. We fully recagnize the merits
and claims of others who may be be
fore the cearention for this -position,
yet we think thas of' Mr. Marquett
are ai least equal to any of them.- He
is cot presented as a sectional candidate,
but as one who has the interest of the
Stats' emire at heart, ar.d one who
would scorn tedo an act for the pur
pose of benefitting soy one locality to
the mjury of others. If we thought
otherwise he should never receive- tbe
support of ihe.' Herald for any 'posi
tron. But he is known to most people
in the-Siate, bdving been many years
in public life, and his record as a rep
resentative mac is all that is necessary.
Another reason why Mr. Marquett is
entitled to the nomination is the fact
that he has hhite made the canvass of
the State for the office being elected
boih-'.irues and by force of circum
stances vras only permitted to-sit as a
member daring the bpace of two days.
He ran when all was dark and gloomy;
when uncertainty 6tared him in the face;
when tbe election--was lonb if 1 and
when our admwsion iva more doubtful.
Under all these discouraging circum
stances he made the race, aud (we-say
it with all due defference to the - ability
ncd patriotism of others) he made the
beat canvass that was ever made in this I
State. He met upon ihe stump the
great war horse of Democracy iLe
power and elor-uence of the democratic
partythe acknowledger! best Demo-
crtic'stmp orator rn the weft J.
Sterling Morton and he completely
wnippea mm, a ming wDicn Uemocrata
say was neer before done in Nebrs
ka.
After f-pending his. time
money in two seperale- cam
arid
paigns, he proceeded to Washington
and epent two months' time in assisting
to secure tha admission of the State,
and re3eied" as a recompense a- seat
n the House durng the two last days
of the session and the concsiousness of
harinjtfoae his duty. THere are a
hundred other things which we might
enumerate as just reasons why Mr.
Marquett should receive a nomination,
some of which we may yet mention;
but his greatest recommendation is the
fact that he is a man a true man, and
one who ever works for the success of
the principles of our party. He is one
of the people, and one in whom those
who know him best have the greatest
confidence, both as a man and a pol
itician.
IMPEACHMENT TRIAD.
T-..nr a . ,u i . . u
Last Monday was the day set to be-
gin the Impeachment trial, and at 12
o'clock Chief Justice Chase took his
place as presiding officer. Mr. Butler
made the opeuing speech. He spoke
over three hours and referred to the
fact that the trial abcut to commence
was one of the most importance in the
history of our country, and. one that
has perhaps, had no parallel in the his
tory of any other country. He then
proceeded to statethe case as it came
before the Senate. The Senate, he
said was different from ot'Jerr courts,
and was law unto itself aud not subject
to the ordinary rules of courts, being
governed only by the principles of jus
tice and equality. Mr. Butler pro
ceeded to quote history in other im
peachment cases in this country and
England, to sh'ow tbe power of the
court in trying the case. He dwelt on
this at. great length, after having stated
the preliminary principles in the case.
Mr. Butler proceeded to review the
articles of impeachment, and concluded
by raying the safe guards of the consti
tution against usurpation are in your
hands; the interests and hopes of free
institutions wait upon your decision.
The House of Representatives has done
its duty and we have presented the
facts in a constitutional manner. We
have brought the criminal to your bar,
and demand' judgement nt your hands
for his great crimes. Never again, if
fa- vt"--"
tuis aay can ine poepie oi mis
or any other country- by constitut.ona,
checks and guards stay the usurpation
-
of executive power. 1 speak, therefore
not the language of exaggeration, but
words of truth and soberness, in saying
that the future political welfare and
a . m . . .
liberties of til men hang trembling
on the decision of the Senate.
After air. Uuiler s speech Mr. il
...... ... .i
son, on the part of ihb-managers, offer-
ed in evidence certified copies of the
oath of office of President Johnson ana
6f the appointment of; Secretary Stan-
ton by Tresident Lincoln, and the rati-
tication of said nomination by Johnson,
and the communication to the- Senate
assigning his reasons for the suspension
of Stanton, after which the court ad
journed till twelve o'clock Tuesday
THE PRECINCT MEETINGS."
The hour at which the precinct
meetings would be held on the lltb
inst. was inadvertently omitted in .the
official call, and we would suggest the
hour of 2 p. in. as the proper time.
Let every. Republican who values the stand something of the history of this
interests of the partv or countv be onlCaimal and labor question, and that
hand at that hour. The convention
j I
for Plattstrroutb Precinct will be held
in the Court House Hall, and wv de
sire to see every Republican voter in
the precinct present at the meeting.
It is said that ours is a government by
the people, and the best way to make
it so is for the people to turn out to
their primary meetings, and selectmen
to attend .he county conventions who
will fully, fairly and honestly represent
their wishes and they should see to ill
that none others are delegated with
authority lo act for them.
NEW- MAIL ROUTE.
From . av private letter'' received in
this city from Gen. Thayer, we learn
that ho is laboring to secure a-new
tn-weeklv mail route from this -citv-to
Lincoln, via WeeDinc Water. Elmwood
and Stevens Creek, with new office
" .
at ihe two latter places, also an exten
sion from Lincoln west via' Middle
Creek and Millford, to Beaver Creek,
with new offices at each of-these points.
The Gen. hopes to have these- routes
established in a very short time, thus
giviog us a daily mail to and from Lin
coln. We already htve a tri-weekly
mail to Liacoln by way of Ashland,
and by having the mail leave over
these two routes on alternate days we
have daily, service.
C1T ELECTION
As this is our last issue; prior to the
city election, we cannot do lesjs than
caution Republicans, 'nst oeglecw
ng their duty in this matter. It
all important that rrery Republican
should be on hand next Monday, and
vote the straight ticket. We doubt
not an effort will be made by Demo
crats to get this man ''scratched' by a
few, and that one by a few in
the hope that by this . means
one or more Democrats may be
elected.. They always do this, and we
warn Republicans agsjnst it. Turn
out to the convention hi evening and
nominate a good ticket. fand then see
that every; Republican iil.tho city votes
it on Monday. Let no business, bow
ever urgent, keep you from either ihe
convention or the p'olli. Remember
that we-have an important compaign
before us for State fan4 National offi
cers, and that all minor ? elections are
rooted upon 'with interett all over the
country. ' :

CR1DGC LOCATED.
The long mooted question of the lo
cation of the Pacific Railroad bridge
has at last been settled, and the bridge
; is actually located at the "Train Table
Crossing." This, we believe, corses
within the corporate limits of Omaha,
on the south side of said c.ty. We re-
jice with Omaha, we rejoice with
Council Bluffs, and: we rejoice with
atts routband the K &M. R. Rail
road. A cloud has been haorin2 over
s
Railroad matters for the pa.-t twelve
momhs," in consequaceeof the uncer-
ainiy of this bridge location. It has
been generally known that a grei i
combinaiiou between the R. R. Co.s
has been talked of and that there was
a prospect' that the B. &,M. R. R. Co.
would diverge from their original lit e
and join with other compaaie:in this
bridge, ft was the diversity of inter
ects among the different R. R. compa
nies that delayed the location so long.
mi , sr r
iue u.cc &i. it. company gave it as
their ultimatum that they would join
the others if they would locate the
Bridge as far south as Bellevue; but
after delaying the matter from limeMo
time, in the hope to induce that com pa
ny to go higher up, the bridge has fin
ally been located as stated, and tbe B.
& M. R. company have decided to ad
here to their original line and cross the
river at this city, amP thence- westward
by way of Ashland and Lincoln to Ft.
Kearney. - We believe this is as it
should be. It is to the best interest of
the B. & M. R. company, and will
eventually make it the most ifnpxFt&ns
'ine of Road in the west the great
Pacific not excepted. The opening of
the great Salt works at Lincoln, togeth
er with the already immense trade of
this part of the country, which is in
creasing with a rapidity.- never before
equalled in any country ,will sustain the
road without a dol'ar of loss until it
finds the rich trade of Colorado and the
Omaha gives right of way, Depot
and $250;000J in greenback, while
Council Bluffs gives 200,000 in cash
and the necessary lands on the Iowa
ibide. They both appear to he we
pleased- with the location; and so ' is
PUttsmouth andVihe rest of the world.
While it makes great cities of Omaha
and Council Bluffs, it makes an equally
great city of Plattsmost.
Change ot Time.
We learn that the . tune has been
changed on the Kansas ae-ii Nebraska
stage line so that the coaches from the
south rch -hert wf'v-kM- a
Platte river for south etn mail and re
turn here same evening and lay over
here that night, starting south noxi
morning.

a word to say noU and then I told
. . . . - ij

of hortes was the.cne best capable of

You are right ('ol." said I. "The
race horse is the vey horse I a:n talk
ing about. Did it ever occur to yoj that
the hardest task attorscis called on to
perform is to run 4. 'four luile and re
peat race' in a well contested 'field;' ai.d
did you vr hfnrci r ny one so foolish
as to 'start' anything but a 'thorough
bred horse in a 'long race. The horse
ihat wins in these 'long races not only
demonstrates the fact thai he has great
speed but greater power of endurance,
and if called on lo perform any other
remarkable feat will prove nimsel:
equally superior to coiu blooded horses
in other words 'blood is as essential
in producing tbe highest type of horse
for general utility, as in producing a
race horse. Il is a fact known by all
horsemen of experience that the quali
ty of tbe bone of a thorough bred horse
is superior to that of a cold blooded
hor-e. (It is heavier, more compact and
consequently stronger and not so liable
to disease; -it is easy the detect the dif
ference by seeing the botieof each. Tbe
blood horses bon-e is susceptible of a
fine polish like Ivory", whi!-e- the boae
of the cold blooded horse is porous and
sponge like, arKPihere ins great a
d.flerence in the quality of the merits
as in the quality of bone and in fact
in the eo'.ire constitution.'-
"But, sail the Col. ".retting horses
are the in )-t popular, and while the best
specimens of racers command extraor
dinary prices unless they can win
they are; not proportionately valuable
In tretung hors iv is different; the
prices of trotting horses are graded ac
cording to their performances."
Well. Col.,'-'- said I "I will admit
your assertion for the sake of argument
for I think I shall be able to "'throw
you off your feet by your' owa argu
ment. I make the- asseriitfa-that you
cannot name a firstr class trotting horse
that 'thorough bred' Hood does not
cour through his veins, and I have
the-document and stand ready to prove
it. By first class I mean any horse
that has ironed in 2:25, at d the some
might be proven true cf a majority of
with about $180
the horses ihat Lave trotted inside of 3
minutes. Nowthis being true, thorough
blood horses are more likely to trot fast
and so according to your argument will
command higher prices as a class than
any other breed; nor is this all for
stage and carriage purposes as well as
for the saddle there i no comparison
between ihem.and 'cold blooded' breeds,
and for my part I can't see why a
breed superior in activity, endurance
and constitution to say nothing of their
delicite form is not more desirable
as a horse for general utility.
