Not a delegate was absent.
ad there was not one out of the num
ber but seemed determined that Mr.
Marquett should receive the nomina
tion at the Nebraska City Convention
The people have known him so long
and so thoroughly that we doubt if there
is another man in the State of Nebras
, ka who hap the same hold upon the af
fections of his county people as Mar
outtt has in this county. They do not
support him because of 'the individual
rood the y expect be -will accomplish for
them, but became they know him to be
a true roan, and , one that would scorn
to do a mean act. He is just the kind
of a roan that should be in a public po
anion; and if there were more of them
wa would hear less complaint from the
peeple about mismanagement of affairs
Ha was never known to lose sight of
the interests rf his constituents that ha
might advance his own individual in
terests; and then, he is just the man to
'skin the copperheads,' because he
takes a delight in it and knows exactly
how, to do it. We refer (by permis
sion) to J. Sterling Morton. With
Marquett for a standard bearer this
fall, the Republicans may expect
lively campaign.
THE D. & 91. R. R.
We learn that a contract has lately
been let on this road west from Afton,
and that the balance through to this
city will be let in a short time.. The
road is open to Osceola (see new ad
vertisemera, and everything indicates
a speedy completion to the river. This
road might (?) have went to Omaha,
only the people of that city would not
allow one end of the bridge to reach
across to Iowa they were afraid Coun

IV em all a Convention.
The Republicans of Nemaha county
held their County Convention on Sat
urday, the llth insu The delegates
elected are J. R. Larkin, Geo. Crow,
T. J. Majors, J. S. Church and Wra
n l tra l
neea. nesoiu.ions were passed in
favor of Grant for President and Butlr
for Governor, and one favoring Taffe
for Congressman was voted down by
12 ayes to 51 nays.
The press banquet, given to Dick
ns at Deloionco's, on the 18th was a
ry pleasant affair. Horace Greeley
presided. Dickens, in a speech, ex.
pressed his intention not to write another
book on America, but would give im
pressions and experiences in his mag
azine. He said that all future editions
of "Martin Chuzzlewit," in the Amer
ican notes, should contain an appendex
retracting aspersions on American peo
ple. His reanarks were highly eulo
gistic of the people and the country.
The city rnar.hall of Cheyenne,

Appears to worry the Democracy of
Nebraska terribly. He has been nom
inated and confirmed U. S. District
Judge for Nebraska, and the Demo
cratic papers of the State are very
much exercised about it. What is the
matter? Ia Morton afraid there will
yet be a legal investigation in regard
to those revolvers? And i.tht learned
gentleman of ten per cent notoriety who
presides over the Omaha Herald sbak
iug a little in his boots? It may be
barely possible that some men in Ne
braska are in the same box with the
Irishman who was told that he should
have justice done him.
ICRGEANT BATES,
Like a great goose that he is, has
tramped all over the South trying to
make political capital for the copper
head party. He has at lat arrived in
Washington, where the whole pro
gramme was "kicked into pi by hav
ing A. Johnson to receive him at the
White House and eulogise his effort
to convince people that the ex iebels
honored the old flag. Mr. Sergeant
Bates would succeed better digging
post holes than in endeavoring to make
capital for the- copperhead party.
A St. Louis dispatch says a ghast
ly spectacle was presented in the river
yesterday. During the cholera las1
summer, large numbers of bodies, vie
tirns of the epidemic, were buried by
the city, on Arsenal Island. The riv
er has been gradually wear-rig the
island away, and yesterday the water
reached the trenches where the bodies
were buried. Over fifty coffins floated
down the stream. Twenty-four have
been recovered. Measures nave been
taken to aecure the remiandr.
Now and Tben
A large proportion of the Democrat
ic papers fci the country are in favor of
increasing the currency cf the country
by paying off the government bonds in
greenbacks. Without stopping to ar
gue whether their position is correct
or not.ve would like to ask them to ex
plain why they are so zealous for this
increase now if their position in regard
to this same currency was correct dur
ing the war. Theathey cried out that
greenbacks were "worthless trash" be
cause of the amount authorized. If
their position in regard lothe currency
ia correct now, they ceitainly must have
been at fault then, or else they were
acting' falsely. , 1 f . they were . acting
falsely then can they be trusted now?
A party that 'trims1 merely for public
opinion, or for the purpose of exciting
prejudice, without regard to principle
or cocsistency, is a very poor thing to
tie to.

Can the Brownville Journal tell us
what the difference is between 15 and
51 when they have reference to the
passage or defeat of a resolution. The
County Convention in Nemaha county
waa con posed of 63 delegates, and the
resolution favoring Taffe as member
of Congress received 12 ayes. Can
anybody tell how many nays that would
leave? The Journal says 15.

Reports received at Gen. Sherman's
bead quarters in St. Louis, of the
starvations of the Indians at Fort Ber
thold, and the simultaneous report from
other quarters of impending Indian
hostilities, which will probably break
out as soon as the roads are elear of
snow, show the necessity of some effi
cient reorganization of Indian affairs.
Bills have been introduced for the cre
ation of a Department of Indian affairs.
Wbat has become of them? Where is
the "Bi Injun" whose mission is to
look after these questions in Congress?
Tribun:
If you will just come out to Nebras
ka. Mr. "H. G.," we can show you the
Rig Injun" in all bia glory. He is
reported to be particularly "numerous"
around here at the prosent time, and
he appears to need "reorganizing and
reconstructing ,nchly." Tbe "De

with tbe people, however; and the "hos

-R I If U 8"
Are dangerous things in politics, not
only to the people, but the parties form
ing them. If a party of men will form
a "ring' to defraud the people of a
fair aid untrammeled expression of
their will, is there not the be?t of
grounds to suppose that the "sharp'
ones of the "ring" will form still other
combinations to defraud the dupes
whom they have entangled in their
meshes, and who dare not cry out even
though they receive no purt or parcel
of the "pap' which is used as a bait to
entrap them? We know that tempo
rary success is a wonderful aiimulant
even in a bad cause; . but the people
are Argus-eyed, and will, as they
should, dethrone all those who attempt
to accomplish by means of "rings"
those things which the people would
denounce if free to act. These things
exi-t, to a certain extent, in many por
tions of the east, but we hope they will
never be attempted in Nebraska.
Tbe Tribune's Orleans special
says: The election passed off quietly
notwithstanding the violent intimation
en the part of the rebels against ihe
board of registra'ion commissioners of
elections. Nearly all the rebels resort
ed to every subterfuge to prevent tbe
negroes from votine- The State will
nevertheless give twenty thousand fo
the Constitution. The Republican

of several prominent Republicans in
different I arts of tbe State, and others
have been bunted and driven into the
woods. Tbe colored candidate for the

the reported formation of a North

the government not to admit even the
possibility of such a thing. An envoy

cently at Tampico to favor Santa Anna

WAR AND PEACE.
The Charleston Mercury was fore
mast among the southern journals that
drove the ruling cate of their section
into secesioo aud civil war. It is now
foremost in arousing and stimulating
resistance to reconstruction on the basis
of equal rights for all men. In a late
iseue, it says:
It ia just as well, men of tbe North,
that you should understand now, aa at
any other time, that the people of ihe
Southern States do not intend to be ruled
by negroes. If it ia the purpose of tbe
United Slates Government to negroixe
the Southern States, they may as well
know now as at any other time, that it
has tobe done with the bayonet, and has
to be preserved Cith the bayonal in all
time to come. This Southern people do
not inteud to be uiongrelized. They
prefer the sword this they can always
compel."
The State of South Carolina con
tained in 1860. 603.812 inhabitants,
whereof 402 541 were then blares at d
9,914 free colored, leaving but 291.338
whites. War bas told fearfully on tbe
lat named, so that they cannot now
exceed two fifths of the entire popula
tion. What the Mercury threatens is sim
ply a renewal ot the Rebellion, and ou
substantially the old preiext. South
Carolina assumed to secede because the
North was not sufficiently docile and
devoted to the interests and exactions
of Slavery. She initiated flagrant war
by opening fire on the handful of fain
is'iing Union soldiers who garrisoned
ihe national stronghold. Fort Sumter.
Thenceforward, she had war to her
bean's content, until ber very last
squad was captured, her last vi'Iage
waa a conquest.
Her aristocracy fought bravely and
well. They did their "level best;" and
they dragged the poor, ignorant whi.es
into their quarrel, lushing them upon
death as sheep are driven to the sham
bles. When they were fir.-t routed at
Port Royal by a National fleet, evr-ry
white pereun tut one left the island
with their flying forces that one beiue
lett. Hind druuk. The black remained
to welcome "the invaders.' and exult
in their new found freedom. And from
that hour, the blacks ot South Carolina
have been loyal to the flag of the
Unisn.
It is not the fault of the great body
of ihe whitea of South Carolina that
they are now gathered under the fol
of that nag. rue j did their very ut
most to avoid that detested "sutjuga
tion.
r TheyTaold -out against it till "they
could hold out no looger. They gave
in when there was "no possibility of fur
taer res stance.
These are not pleasant reminiscen
ces. We should mich preier not to
revive them. But when the Mercury
insists as it plainly does insist tna
the loyal ibree hiihs ot tbe population
of its Stale shall have no other right
than ucn asthedisloyal two fifths hal
preponderantly see fit to vouchsafe
them when it speaks of this rebel mi
nonty as "Me people of the Southern
Slates, and threatens a renewal o
civil war if they are not so regarded
when it vaunts that said "people pre
fer the aword, and can "compel' it
we are forced to remind it that such
bullying is "played out" that th
arms-bearing portion of said "people'
are paroled prisoners of war, who can
not brandish the sword against the eru
t'.ority .f the Union without breaking
their paroles and exposing themselves
to an ignominious fate.
But talk of tbe "sword ' in tbe prem
ises is an anarchism an impertinence
The Mercury knows as well as we do
that tbe sword will rest and rust in its
scabbard that what it is really iotei.1
on is getting the Democratic party into
power at Wnshi' gton, and thus getting
the Union-loving majority of the inhab
itanti under the feet uf the rebel min
ority; ana it tne allied nortnern and
southern Democracy shall be enabled
to elect the next President, that end
will be secured. If ihey tail in that
election, tne confederate democracies
will peaceably submit, just as our side
must submit if beaten. This is the
plain prose of the matter, and
threats of a resort to "the sword'' ar
preposterous. This country has had
fighting enough for at least half a cen
tury, and whoever shall mean ime an
peal to "the sword will be promptly
squelched by an irresistible uprising of
tbe whole people in defense of peace.
