Every copperhead newspaper and orator in the country is '-livid with rag" because Jay Cook ha? made something on the tale of Government Bonds, and because the men who purchase those bonds are likely to get their money back. It would have suited those loud-mouthed denunciators of the men who sared the financial credit of the nation if Jay Cook could not hare disposed of the Bonds of the government, and it would now suit them to hare the men who purchased the bonds to lose every dol lar. They done all they could to pre vent the sale during the war, and if Jay Cook or "any other man" was able to sell them ia opposition to the united efforts of the Democratic party he certainly is entitled to make some tihng thereby, and receive the thanks cf the nation besides; and if men were found who had the nerve to invest their money in those bonds when every Dem ocrat in the country was endeavoring to make them, as well as the circulat ing medium, whorthless, they are cer tainiy entitled to receive tue interest which they call for and have them paid according to agreement. The Demo cratic party tried to prevent the sale of the bonds, and they now wish to pre vent th ir honest payment They de clared the war "a failure" and tried to make it so they declared oar finan cial system a failure and are endeavor ing lo make it so. They will fail as signally in one as they did in the other While the taxes of the country may be looked upon as burdensome, yet it will be remembernd that it was m Demo cratic war which caused these taxes, and that the men who invested their means to save the national credit run the risk of losing their all as they would have done had the Democratic rebellion succeeded, or as they might yet do should the Democratic Repudi ation party come into power. DEMOCRACY Wits once supposed to mean a govern ment by the people; but of late it has been trimmed down to mean only the rebel portion of the people. It used to be the boast of Democrats that they were liberal with the franchise, but that is all changed. The Augusta(Ga ) Lironick. which good Democratic authority, shows about where the party stands and what its put poses are. It proposes the force system to secure Democratic votes, and threatens etar vau'on to the negroes if they vote the Republican ticket. It says: "We must prove to him that while he may exercise the ballot against our interest. we can, and will, control the bread aganst him." That is good Demo cratic doctrinrt, and is pretiy effectually usea on otners tnan freedmen. Oh, yes, tbey are a great Democratic party, and should be allowed to control this government. They believe in free government, where everybody is al lowed to vote the Democratic ticket or starve. We think they would have things in pretiy good shape if they could only get hold of affairs for a short time. "Aggers, '"Small. fisted far mers," "greasy mechanics;' mud sills" and "poor whites" would have to "come to time" right lively. EThe Democracy are beginning to shake lest the impeachment of An drew Johnson should fail. Against ll the rules of good sens and reasoo, they have regarded it as- capital stock in trade; and if it should fail them they would be in a sad plight. We can quiet their fears on the subject. Low ever, by assuring them that it will not fail. It is gointr to afford them abun dant material for. blowing off their sur plus of foul gas-throughout the entire season. An Indiana- editor wants to know if the western whiskey was ever s Jen "coming through the rye." JCSrOne of the Harper brothers ha? not been up stairs in their immense publishing. house for 25 yars. Last Tuesday was the day appointed for the final vote on impeachment. The country was looking anxiously for the result, when at 1' o'clock p. m., the news was flashed over the wires that the Court of Impeachment bad met, and owing to sickness of one of the Senators had adjourned until next Sat urday. Most Democrats and a few Republicans express doubts in regard to the conviction, but we see no good grounds for it. A despatch of the lOtb says: "What the result of the imreachment tiial will be is a mere speculation. Senators still preserve a studied silence as to how they will vote upon the ques tion. It is not known that they have given even private intimation to that effect, friends and opponents' coj victions outside of the Senate are al ternately depressed and elated. Bets continue to be made. The impeach ment is the general theme." THE 8TVGGLE BEFORE US. Under the above caption the La Crosse Democrat comes out squarely in favor of another rebellion unless the ex rebels of the South are allowed to control affairs, and the freedmen again placed under their heel. The Demo' crat is the leading paper of the north west:Jand Pomeroy, its editor, is engag ed in organizing the Ku-Klux Klan throughout the north and west. These things make his words something more than mere idle talk by a demented rebel. In his issue of the 2Sih ult , he says: The Democracy have with them at least three million white m Eif , en titled to vote, and capable of bearing arms, and they will have a tree vote, or there will inevetably be a tree fight! More than that this election HAS COT TO BE DECIDED BY WHITE men! . Slates reconstructed by military pow er, ana so reconstructed as to secure negro representation in Congress, and enable the negro vote to control the electoral colleges in those Slates, will NOT BE PERMITTED TO DEFEAT THE election of a. WUITEM AN'S FRES 1DENT!! And in the same article, after speak ing of the probability of the freedmen being allowed to vote, and their vote turning the scale of the election he says: THIS WILL NEVER BE PERMITTED! booner than suffer so foul a wrong to be successful, millions of free white men will rise in arm in r a s tance to the accursed junto of perjured political and military desperados who are conspiring agaiust our liberties! lhink not that vour treason hatching den of thieves and bummers yclepped the "Grand army of ihe Re puoiic, whether commanded by 15en HuTLEB or jack Looah, will trighten AmsfHsn freemen into a lame and ig nomioirus surrender of their rights; ur thtt the stolid, brutal, remorseless drunken butcher who is lending him self to this vile scheme; and is ready to avail himself of it to reach a milita ry dictatorship in his own person, and complete the overthrow of the Itepub lie, can. by any array of military force which he can summons to bis aid, stifle in the breasts of his aroused and in dignant countrymen, the holy and sub lime sentiment, that "Resistance to Tyrants is obedi ence to God! RADICAL PROSCRIPTION. A Methodut preachnr by the name of Williams was recently expelled from the Nebraska Conference fer voting the Democratic ticket. II. was for merly a resident of Tennessee, and i member of the M. E. Church, South, but the troubles during the war com pelled him to leave the domain of Brownlow and seek a home elsewhere where he and his family could hre free from the insults of Brownlow a Hoil' rabble. He joined the Nebraska Con ference and was sent to Si. Stephen's circuit. lNotwitltstanding his connec tion with the North Church, which is only a wing of the Radical party, he went to the rolls and voted the Demo cratic ticket, for which act he was tlri ven from the Church by a set of cant ing hypocrites. Si. Jot. Vindicator. We copy the above for the purpose of showing the depth of infamy to whi-h the Democratic press of the country will go for party purposes We find the article copied into the Democraiic journals of this State with- out a wora or comment, wnen it is 1A known to be a base he upon a Christian denomination. Mr. Williams was ta kaa from the fctive list because he had denounced1, through the vilest copper bead mediums he could find, the action of the Methodist Conference, and not because he "voted the Democratic ticket. It was not generally known. in Nebraska what ticket. Mr. Williams w j voted any more than it was generally supposed he voted the democraiic tick et because he expressed rebel senti ments; and that is a pretty safe guide to go by. 'WHIPPED IN." The Democracy are bound to train with the moFt ultra men, consequently we are not surprised to see ibe J"ews coming to the support of Brick Pome roy-as follows:' 1 he extreme men in every political party are the motive power which pro pels towards victory. They are gen erally, honest in their faith. They al ways work well and vigorously to carry that faith into the hearts of the whole I people." ! 'Democrats" Copperheads, Rebels and Traitors-" If we should class all the above to gether rt one, every so-called Demo crat we should meet for a month would look all kinds of two-edged daggers at us. Well, we haven't done any sticb thing, ceither are we going to; for we believe there are men (possibly few) to whom the name Democrat may be applied and the others should not. But then Bee what one of your own papers sys and one that has recently been started in Council Bluffs as the leading organ of the party in the Northwest the LaCrosse Democrat excepted, al ways: "God made the negro an inferior be ing. He had ample opportunities of improvement, but he seek his level. and there let him rest. Democrats are not responsible for the freaks of nature, nor are they competent io arrest its Iavv3. Then stand firm! Democrats, Cop perheads, Rebels and Traitors! all ye who love your race and country! Stand firm! Democrat. If "Gvd made the negro an inferior being" why are "Democrats, Copper heads, Rebel and Traitors" so very much afraid of giving him an even chance with them in the race of life. Why shackle him and make it a peni tentiary offence to teach him to read. Is that the way you have given him while you had control of the Govern ment -ample opportunities of improve ment? You had better "stand firm" to these oW "Democratic Landmarks," or the freedman may yet outstrip you in intellectual and moral attainments FROM THE HOLY LAND. We are permitted lo make the fol lowing extract from a private letter io Maj. D. H. Wheeler, of this city, from Dr. Rob. Morris; who, it will be re membered. left Boston in February last on a Masonic exploring eipcd.tion to the Holy Land. The letter is dated at Damascus, Syria, 30ih March 1S6S. and says: "I have not been unmindful, since we parted in November last, of the pleasant occassion that called us to gether, or the many pleasant circum stances upon which our friendship founded; and I take occasion during a few days delay at this ancient city to write you a line as a souvenir. Since my landing at Byrant, 3d inst. I have been extremely busy. Have explored three of the seven standard Masonic localities, and am in hopes to get from here ta Palmyra a journey rarely made by traveler. Rachiel Pasha (the Guv General of Syria) has invited m to accompany him during ihe comin month. He is a Brother and an excel lent man. My assistant, Bro. Thump an, is operating at Joppa and Jerusa iem, wuere i suau join nim on my return to the coast. My collection at ancient coins at ueoai and vicinity number more than 1200. I have ac cumulated other objects in large quan tities for the cabinets of my patrons The prospect, in short, is that this mission will prove lo be a greater sue cess than I had anticipated. At Smyrna I met a convention of five Lodges, and gave an address There is but "ne Lodge in Palestine, viz: at Bryant. Before I leave I hope to see the Second one organized. Of a these things, however, you shall have due notice in my journal." We don l think that a spanked boy can be made to feel any sorer, reason ing posterior, by ca'hng his mind to observe the fact that he resembles railroad locomotive simply because he goes with a tender behind, by no means! That being he case we would gently call the attention of Mr. Morton to the "spanking'" be received from Mr. Marquett about eighteen months ago. We do not know whether he goes with a tenaer benind yet or not, but would a t suggest the propriety of his taking Buffalo hunt" tbu fall. Probably Kinney or Bennett would go wiih him Corn Juice Politics. Hicklin & Patterson are buying corn and registering Democratic voters. iYifD. City JVews. We see the connection. The corn is in the lKjuid form. It always makes Democratic voters when it is in that shape. Republican. SIGNS. "New Orleans voting Democratic is sign. Arkansas voting Democratic is a sign, ueorgia apparently doing pretty macn the same thing is a 6ign Virginia threatening lo defeat the con stitution, according to Scboffeld is a sign. We find the above in the Omaha Herald, which paper a-sks "what al these 6igns indicate.' There is no possible doubt as lo the indication, pro vided the above statements were all correct (which is not the case). Tbey would clearly indicate that the rebels were in the majority down there. The Omaha Herald, blind as it is, should be able trxsee that. It is Lot difficult to see thai where a locality goes Democraiic the fires of treason burn brightest. ' &E1)ICAL. CONTENTION. Pursuant to call, a number of dele gates from the Medical Profession in the various counties in the State met at the rooms of Dr. Jas. H. Peabody, in Omaha on the II ih inst. fir the pur pose of taking soma action towards the organization of a State Medical Soci ety in Nebraska. The Convention was called to order by Dr. Livingston, of Cass, who moved that Dr. G. C. Monell be elected Chairman of the Convention. The motion prevni Ud and Dr. Monel! was duly installed as chairman. On motion, Dr. Livingston was de clared Secretary. The chairman then addressed the convention, setting forth the objects and duties of the profession and the neces sity of adopting such steps toward the formation of a State Society as might, in the judgement of the gentlemen present, be deemed proper. He ad. verted to the success which had attend ed such efforts in the older States, and drew an eloquent picture of the bene fits which had flowed from such organ izations, not only to the profession, but to the public. On motion, the following was adop ted: i Whereas, Fraternal atsocia'ifirj in all departments of science if? ever productive of ihe happiest result's, and Whereas, The promotion o -medical knowledge, its humane applications, benign influence and exalted philm. tbropy, demand the frait-ruizaioi of the medical men of Nebraska. The refore be it Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention, it is expedient and ' neces sary that a State Medical Society be organized for the State of Nebraska. On motion, Drs. Livingston, of Cass. Roeder, of Dodge; Andrew, of Wash ington and Eddy, of Douglas; wert elected a committee to draft a Consti tution and By-laws suitable for the gov ernment of a State Medical Society, and that the same be presented at the next meeting of the convention. On motion, the following, circular was directed to be printed und forward ed to ihe .profession throughout the State: circular. To the Members of the Medical rrofes sio tn ihe State of J"(bra$ka: Your professionalbrethreu, iu con vention assembled, having under ad visement the promotion of medicine and surgery, and the branches of sci ence allied therewiib, and judging from the favorable influence exerted to this end by the organization of County and State Medical Societies in the older States, would, through this circular urge upon you th-j propriety of organizing a. r j i iouuty itieuicai oocieties in your re.-pecuve counties, without delay By this course we believe you will ma lertally assist the cultivation of the science of medicine, ihe advancement of the character and honor of the pro fession, the elevation of the staudard of medical education and the promotion of the public health, while at the same time you will secure mutual improve ment in medical knowledge and a more intimate social intercouse. To advance the interesls.and increase the usefulness of the profession thould ever be our object, we therefore conn dently appeal to you for aid in this good work, by the immediate orgaui ation of County Medical Societies. We would also ask that you elect three delegates from every County Society to attend an adjourned meeting of the State Medical Convention which will convene at Omaha. Nebraska, ai 2 o'clock p. m. on Wednesday the 24th of June next', at which time a Constitu tion and By Laws will be submitted and the organization cf a Stale Medical So e'ety perfected. G. C.

That essential democratic naner. the La Crosse- Democrat, thus defines the abstraction known as 'conservative: a smooth tongued. soft-stepping, slv. selfish, iieacherous, cold blooded; de ceitful, double-faced, forked-tongoed sneak." ; OUT WEST. I The oliowing letter which we find in the Omaha Republican, will show our eatern readers how farming is done 'out west." The fetter is dated at Co'uinbus, Nebraska, a fid says: Fo- the purpose Of g'lving-your fend ers ai idea of what gigantfc improve ments are being undertaken large turns being opened, let me say, (hat Messrs. Clark &, Craig, of Cadiz, 0. have purchased the whole South-east township in Stanton county in this State and propose putting the whole of it under culuva.ion, amounting to twenty-three thcusaud and forty (23 040) acres. Tbey have instructed their agent to ertCt a house, stables and other buildings n the centre of the said lownship, and divide the farm in four pans by breaking a snip two rods wide around the outside and one across the middle east and west and another north aud south, leaving the house(cen ire) and make the circi it of one quar ter of the township (I2milles) in one day, arriving at the house at night. The Agenris to have three hundred and twenty (320) acres broken this year, and next spring will plant it in timber. He is also instructed to put out one million of O.-age Orange plauts next spring, inclosing the whole town ship with the hedge. It will require some five or six teams to do the breaking required this season. This in no hoax. Mr. CoUrell, of North Bend, is the agent, and Mr. I. N. Taylor of Columbus told ine he read the instructions. It is tie inten tion to put the whole township t nder cultivation next year. Thus, "Westward the Star of empire takes its way." This is only a sample of our Nebraska farming. There are many such openings for eastern capi talists. With many regards &c. "T OD." INDIANS- The Republicau of last Friday says "Jas. T.

He informs us that on Wednes day a band of Indians attacked Mr. Daniel rreemen and a party of six wodd choppers whom he was taking out to their work a few miles from the station. A squad of cavalry went out after the Indians but could not overtake them. They had made offwjjh ihe team which Mr. Freeman and Ins par ly left behind when they fled.

JohnShjuItze, a German living near Rulo, took his axe ami team to the tim ber for a load of rails on the 20. h ot April. His neighbors being alarmed; that be did not return, found his team hitched at the bind end of the wagon in the timber, and foiTnd bis axe near by and quantity of blood. The search for him was couiinued through Tuecday, Wednesday and Thursday, ilis bat was found ihfee miles from the team, in some wiilow bushes near Judy's wood yard. On Friday morning a further search was made. The track of a man passing into the river aud then out, was trailed across the bottom some distance to a clump of trees, where it seemed a horse had been hitchtd. A track from toward ihe river was theu found. While trading this track they found a puddle of blood, say about a quar .near the river. The sheriff arrived with a skiff, and after dragging the river near where the hat was found for some lime, they brought the body to the surface of the water, which was easily identified. Post Mortem Examination. A cor oners jury was summoned and a post mortem examination made by Dr.Whit mire. His clothes were in complete order. His round-al out was buttoned tightly at each wrist, as was also his coat, His pants were in his boots. No trace of a wound, bruise, or injury of any kind could be found on his body anywhere save on his left arm ju:t above ihe wiisi. Just above the wrisi on the left arm were three wounds, two of which were very slight, merely cutiing through the skin parellel with each oiherj and ihe third, which was a deep wound, cut square across the arm near the wrist joint o the bone, sever ing all the smaller arteries, veins and tendons. When found the shirt and coat were both buttoned below these wounds and not cut to correspond. The coroners erdict was in accordance with the foregoing facts. Intense ex citement prevails. A German living a half mile from where the blood was found, has beeu arrested. To say the least, it is an exceedingly mysterious case; one which future developments alone can unfold. Advertiser. The Belle Plaiue Transcript tells the following "good un" of a young Democracy. "A fellow from the coun try called at our office yesterday, and wanted to 'see how they printed.' not having any 'foim' on the press we could not perform the operation, but explained lo him how it was done, and then asked him if he wished to sub scribe for the Tianscript. No, sir.' he replied, 'can't any of our folks rend; and if we could we tvouldu't take your black Republican paper, because we are all I-emocra;s." Chicago, May 10. The eastn-ard bound train on the Chicago Burlington &. Quiucy Railroad, last night encoun tered a broken fail about 12 o'clock, a little this side of Princeton. The engine, baggage and express cars and three passenger coaches were precipi tated down an embankment about thir ty feet high. The wreck caught hre from the kerosene lamps and three of the cars were entirely consumed. No person was serio tsly injured. A correspondent of the Ohio Far mer gives as a remedy and preventive of mad itch" iu cattle ihe do.-trg with sulpur and salt to produce free pbysicing given in corn meal.
