Notwithstanding Mr. Eyarts was
council for the President on the Im
peachment trial, and argued that he
had committed no crime in removing
Stanton, for which services he was pro
moted to the ' Attorney Generalship,
he has now 'gone back on the Presi

gress on this very question, by giving
his formal opinion in writing, at the
request of the President, adverse to
the removal of Commissioner Rollins,
stating that the President has no power

Terrible Indeed.
Pi pjleton eudeavored. in his speech
in this city, lo create a sympathy for
the South by relating how a poor lorn
widow of a deceased rebel in the South
hud written lohim for help, and asked
him to sell the pissessions of her late
husband in -this S"tate and forward her
the proceeds. Those possessions con
sisted of fifteen hundred acres of the
- j j
glorious and productive soil of Nebras
ka. What a poor, destitute, distressed,
dependant widow ?he must be, to pos
sess only fifteen hundred acres of the
soil of this glorious State. And is this
the most wretched and heart rending
picture of Southern distress which Mr
Popplelon can paint for the purpose of
creating svmpath? for the Democratic
party? There are thousands aye, lens
of thousand; of widows iu the North
who would be clad to possess even the
tithe of this 1500 acres, and yet Mr.
Poppleton has not one word of sympa
thy for ibem. No. the "case was dif
ferent. Their husbands were killed
while defending the government which
this 'poor' woman's husband was en
deavoring to overthrow. Go atk the
widows made by the Andersonville
murderer who sat as a delegate in the
Democratic Convention in New York
how much land they have in the fertile
State of. Nebraska, and see what
answer you will get.
Wonder if 'Capt.' Ashby didn't have
same oueer fellingrs when he entered
Plaitsmouth last Monday. He was
actually holdidg to a pole which bore
nloft the hated emblem carried ty the
-Yankee invaders' of the 'Sacred soil
Well, now we have no objection to the
'Capt.' doing this thing in fact it
rather pleased us to see him; but at the
same time our mind would, run- back to
the time when Confederate soldiers
dressed in the' army blue and bore
aloft this emblem 'of a nations glory
with the belief thar they were ; friends,
until they gained the vantage ground
they sought; and then they dropped the
Old Flag' and displayed, their . own
colors, and at the same time rushing
upon the brave defenders of American
liberty with demoniac yells and shotted
guns. Is it possible that the 'Capt
bad thoughts of this kind last Monday?
Did he think of those scenes', as we did?
And is it possible or probable that he
and others are carrying the .'Old Flag
and taking on the semblance of friends
of the government for the 'purpose of
gaining an advantage over ihe oppo
nents with whom, they are unable to
cope in an open field and under their
true colors? ;We hope such isnot, the
case, but we fear to risk 'them inside
the Citadel of ; American liberty , for
fear the 'Stan and Bars' will be sub
stituted for the 'Stars and Siripes and
the guns turned upon , the men-who
are defending our country. .'-;;

Savanxah, Mo. Aug. 13. 10GS.
Fi iend Hathaway: I am thinking
much this evening of J'cbra&Jca its
rich soil, its abundant harvest, its fine
grazing prairies, its numerous rural
groves, its rocks and ever running,
springs, its healthy climate, and best of
all its intelligent and hospitable citizens.
And while thus meditating I am in
clined to wonder why it was that I
left Nebraska. But when I turn my
head and see, about six feet from my
chair, my aged and palsied father, un
able to help himself from his armed
chair without assistance, the problem is
solved. It was duty, the hightest duty
which man owes (except to his God,)
over ballancing al' attractions, associa
tions and benefits, that has called me
here; and I .am here to perform, to see
and to learn. There ia much of inter
est here in North Western Missouri.
The health is good; the couutry is im
proving at a very rapid rate, and sell
ing up with first class citizens. The
general crops are better than they have
been for some years past.- Fruit of
every kind is plenly, trade brisk, Re
publicans thick, rnd the whole country
is in a moving, growing, prosperous
condition. Savannah is a growing,
lively town, and has a fine trade both
wholesale pnd retail. I counted yester
day 30 new buildings that have gone
up this summer. Marysville, 35 miles
north of this place, is improving still
faster. I was lold yesterday by Mr.
W. H. Davis, of Marysville, that near
100 houses have been tuilt there this
-
summer; and still they are laying new
foundations almost every day. That
place is the crossing of the Mid Land
Pacific and the Missouri Valley Rail
Road, hence its rapid improvements.
. The political excitement here is high
in the extreme, each party zealously at
work. But the Democrats are loosing
ground at a fearful rate. The came
of Blair answet3 the tame purpose as
a soap stick, the more you stir with it
the thicker it makes, the Republican
ranks. When I first came to Mo. the
Republicans only claimed the State by
j 20,000. Ii is now thought by the best
of judges that it will go 50,000 Repub
lican majority. I see I am spinning
this out to a considerable length; and
wishing you and Nebraska God's speed
in every good cause, I bid ycu good
bye for the present.

for this style of caution has passed; and
the 'Rebel' cry, l;ke the entire cause of

WHEAT AND FLOL Il ni.4ItXi.ET
After the reports we have published
from time to time of an abundant wheat
crops in all parts of the country, it may
be deemed supeifluous 10 caution deal
era in wheat and (lour against being
caign by the inevitable decline in
prices in which must very speedily
come. It can do no harm, however.
and may save some of our readers from
serious losses, to arjnin call their at
tention to thd fact that all reliable ac
ccunts now agree that we shall have in
the whole country from 15 to 20 per
cent more bushels of wheat than we
had last year, and it is also of much
belter quality than we have had for
several years past.
We are aware there are complaints
from particular localities of shrunken
grain, rust, light yield, &c, but these
reports come from comparative small
sections, and these sections are so few
and far between that their effect on
the general yield, upon ihe markets,
will not be percepible.
The circular of J. A. Dukkee, New
York, cautions country millers speci
ally against purchases of wheat for next
month s or future delivery, based on
present quotations of flour in that city,
as he is satisfied that lower prices must
prevail as soon a3 the new crop begin
to arrive freely. He very judLciouly
suggests that they do not let the fact of
a lucal scarcity of wheat ina very small
section of this vast country, influence
them to purchase at prices that wii!
make the flour cost them considerable
more in New York than It tan be sold
for there.
;Vs to ihe questions what are we
going to do with the surplus, nrd what
are to be the prices for the coming sea
son, the circular says, in answer to the
first, that we can export if prices are
low enough, and to the second, that
prices must lessen as soon ns free de
liveries of the new crop commence ;nnd
Mr Dcrkee say's he feels s; f e in ad
vising his friends to look for considera
bly lower prices soon after the middle
ef the present month, ns unless prices
are' lower exporters cannot operate, j
and with the large surplus of the pres
em harvest value must decline to export
rates.
The report? from European harvests
are generally favorable, and lastestad
vices indicate t. full average crop, and

Our farmer friends may profit large
ly by giving heed to this condition of
affairs and net holding their crop for
higher prices. All ihe indications are
that those who sell early will ' realize
jhe best prices for their crops, -We
do not write for the benefit of any
particular class, but that all parties in
terested may be posted as to the real
condition of affairs, and govern them
selves accordingly. For this reason
we have been at particular pains to
gather reliable reports from all parts of
the country, which we have puplished
from tima to tims far the benefit of all

Co mradis : The din of battle -has
ceased, but the conflict of ideas still con
tinues. The shock cf arms ended with
Uiuiru4ewtpfmvr)firr
House, but the struggle ' of - principles
still goes on. Had Abraham Lincoln
lived, doubitess our labors nnd toils,
ere this, would have been ever and
past.
But the bullet lhat carried Andrew
Johnson into the White House revived
the dead rebellion' and b: fil-id tlia ad
vance of peace. Since then the na
tions life ha? teeii one ceaseless strug
gle with thj coppeiheads and rebels.
They have filled the public offices, ihey
have swarmed over the land in places
where only loyal men should go; Nonh
they have been an t-ye sore and oiiense
to every loyai citizen; South, rhey have
opposed reconstruction and civil rights,
and now organize their Ku Klux
Klans, in defiance of the spirit and ci
vihzaiion of tha ago. The Democra
tic p my, unabashed by its unpatriotic
and shameful course as a puny through
out the war, now agaiu confronts the
country with a platform and a candi
date which are at once an in?u!i lo
every living suIJU-r, a mockery ty
every dead soldier, and a rtproath to
every patiiot in the land .
On the other hand we behold the
Republican party, with their shining
record cf patriotic detds, thti banner of
our country floating proudly over them
and the great leader of our conquering
army as their chosen champion. They
weie our hearty and steadfast fiiends
throughout the war, ihey sustained us
in ihe field, they defended us at home,
they rejcicel over o"r victories, and
mourned over our oefeats;' they fired
no rebel bulle.s, they recruited no
rebel armies, they cave no
rebel votes, and now they ask us agaiu
to aid in carrying the nation forward to
its natural nnd logical destin); to h -Ip
secure therich fruits of the war in ail
their fuUaes, to assist in grounding the
Republic at last on the immutable basis
of loyalty ard justice, and equal rights
to all. .
Soldiers, in Horatio Seymour ihe
Demecraiic party have a fit candidate,
a representative copperhead and rebel
in di.guise. In our own V. S. Grant
we have the simple honest soldier and
loyal defender of the Union. The one
represents reaction, ihe other rogress.
Tha ont sympathizeJ with the Confed
aracy, ihe ether fought for ihe Union.
The one stands on ihe platform of
National Repudiation, ihe other cf Na
tional Faith, inviolate and inviolable.
The one summons you to the defense
of class and caste, the other declares for
the rights of man, as man, for loyalty
and liberty, for equal and exact justice
i r i i
plaii ly made up, and now choose ye.
Soldiers, it is the old cause, and ihe
hosts are again gathering for the con
flict. The Old Flag is again unfurled
and Grant again heads the column. Ha
is ihe brave patriotic soldier that led
you to victory during the war. . It is
the same Flag you supported so gal
lantly on many a bloody field. It is ihe
same glorious cause for which, during
ihe war so many of our brave comrades
laid down their lives. Shall it be said
that we fought all in vain, and that our
dead died thus in vain? No; you will
not thus reverse the record of the bat-lie-field,
n-; you will not prove false to
your slain comrades, no; you will not
now desert ihe old cause and turn your
backs upou your old chief and leader.
You will not forget the shining record
of Lonelson and Vicksburg, cf Chatta
nooga and the Wilderness, of Peters
burgh and Appomattox Court House;
no! but ns the men of Lexington and
Bunker Hilt, of Valley Forge and
Princeton, of Trenton and of Yoiktown
afterwards made Washington the first
President of the New Republic, so you
remembering our common victories,
will by your votes, make Grant the
first President of the restored Union.
The Tories and Cowboys of '7G of
course voted against General Wash
ington, but what true soldier or the
Revolution would not have Mushed with
shame at ihe thought of casting a voe
against the savior of his country? So
the Rebels and Copperheads of to-day,
will oppose Gen. Grant. So will ihe
deserters, the bounty jumpers, nnd draft
snoaks, but surely, no soldier cr pa
triot will follow their ignoble example
who wants i: said of liirn in future
years, and would nave n children,
and his children's children suffer the
reproach, that iu 'G3 he voted against
the great Soldier and honest man, who
in bo crushed the Pro-Slavery Rebel-
ion and saved the Union? Surely no
one who loes his country or is proud
of his country's proudest history.
Soldiers, Grant will again ba vie-
torious. I lie otriPns nre auspicious.
He has never yet been defeated let
u then again form line nnd move into
battle. Let the drums beat, and the
bugles sound; advance th? colors along

Here is what a prominent Democrat
of Cincinnati thinks of Mr. Seymour,
ihe New York Convention and the
platform it produced. Writing through
a piper called the WtUand South, he
6ays: ".
"I will venture to say that, not mere
ly in Cincinnati, but throughout " Ohio,
not only in Ohio, but everywhere west
of the mountains, ihe coolness wiih
which the nomination of Mr. Seymour
was received by the members of his
party has no parallel in American po
litical history. There are very tew
who are not more than dissatisfied;
they are disgusted with the candidates;
disgusted with ihe palpable trickery of
himself and his supporters in New
York, disgusted with ihe rampant stu
pidity of the Democratic leaders of
Ohio, whose folly came in as the ap-
Prorjajec
4t .
a. lu C 1
After speaking cf the chicaner'
used to cause Stymour lo win before
the New York Convention he adds :
"Whatever may be said of the tal
ents of Mr. Seymour, he is a very
weak man with ihe people even in
Ntw York. Mr. Seward spoke the
truih of nim when he laconically said,
'Mr. Seymour always runs behind the
ticket.' He did so in 1S64 his vote
having been exceeded by that of Mc
Cleilan in every county of the State,
two only excepted, and even in New
York City. One thing is palpable
his stimulating power with the Western
Democracy is exceedingly small ; to
which it may be added that from ihe
Republican ranks he will - drsw noth
ing," Speaking of the Democratic platform
he says : j
"I will col here discuss the question
whether the platform is a greenback
or an anti-greenback platform. It will
bfi in order for party parrot west of
the mountains to clain it as the former,
and for party parrots east of lha moun
tains to claim il as the latter. . .
A little sense, a little honesty, a
little honor, a little even of re?pectable
cunning, would have fixed matters as
they should have been fixed; and al
this moment, instead of feeling that we
are on the high-road to merited defeat
we should be glorifying in the full con
fidence of a fairly earned victory."

The bounties an l pensions provided by law for these
