A hte issue of tie Vvailiington Chroni cle contains the following : The editorial Piuitled "the Manitoba Campari," which appears in the lian por, (Me.) V.'hij and Courier of the 1 7tb inst., h an excellent article at loist tre so regardoJ it when it appeared in these columns originally about a week eince. Th'j I'emorcraticj party 13 evidently ioined to its idols. A few of the more progressive show some inclination to ac cept 'the fcituation," but the mass of t!-s party still adheres to the traditions which cluster around the historic ' Con federit X Hades." At the convention of the Mercer county, Ohio, Democrats, held tli is month, the following platform was unanimously adopted : "That the co-called war debt in a fraud and a swindle, and was created under fake pretences and in violation of the Constitution; we arc, therefore, uncom-rtromi.-injr'y ia favor of repudiating the whole of "the bonded war debt of the United States. "That we are unalterably opposed to ne.Tro ciii.r-nsliip, and negro sufFraire; that the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States was i'rced upon the people by trickery and fraud and against their well-known v.'i-hc?, and is therefore illegal, void, and vt' no linding farce whatever. If that doca'nt remind one of fossils we don't Lmw what can. H WM TO PI.1TTSHOCTH. The Fu?ge.(ion recently made in the Jhrnhl tlr a connection between the Omaha k Southwestern and the Bur lir.etoa rii Fhtt.unoutli, whereby the litter could avail its?lf of an unobstruc t 'l trans-it nn lr its ewn management at I'lattsmouth .sdould receive the immedi ate and earnest attention of the Burling ton mnnaarer. They need scarcely be to! 1 what the efTec-t cf such an arrange ment would be in piving them almost ex -t:u-ive control of Omaha trade, and the "monthly record of current evonts" to be fuun.i in the ttatisties of the Iowa lines shows for if-elf what the growing iinportnneo of thi- Omaha trade is. Would it not lo well for President Caldwell and tho Omaha & Southwest ern Bard of Directors to make imme diate overture.? to the Burlington people on this question? Yc think so, and hope it will be doiu. The above from the Omaha Iltratd is of interest not or,ly to the Burlington B.iiJroad managenu nt and to the people of Omaha, but is of great interest to the pcoi le oi" this city and county. By L'-.iigiag the Southwestern to this point it scares the nrj construction of a r )id through th ; country lying south aud suuthwe.t from th;.3 city, which will bo of eijual bent-fit to tho county and, city. We are told by the Lincoln Journal that articles of incorporation are already filed in the Secretary's oface for a line of road fr"m this city to Lincoln, via the Weep ing Water Valley, which shows conclu sively that the question of building this line is swiuoihir.g more than mere talk. We h'.pe tho j.coplc of our city will fiinni ready to urge on the completion of the line between here and Omaha, and that they will not then rest until they see the Southwestern from Platts mimth completed through our' own county and pushing ahead through the rich fiei is that await it in that direction. OSE ZIl73r:RED TJIOrSAXD. We find the following in a recent num ber of the Hannibal (Mo.) Courier. It explains itself, and is but a just tribute of respect to one who ha3 done more to 'ring settlers into the State of Missouri than any other on-! man, and who is now giving Nebraska the benefit of his expo rieiu:e and energy : "We hid a brief call yesterday from oar former fellow-citizen, Geo. S. Harris, K:-q., who for years was the able and en ergetic Lanl Commissioner of the Han nibal and St. Joseph railway company. ITc now occupies a similar position in the Darlington A Missouri lliver llail road company, with his residence at Bur lington, Iowa, lie speaks ia high terms of the country the B. & M. II. R. II. parses through, aud says-it is settling up rabidly. The road is now nearly com pleted to Lincoln, the new capital of Ne braska, about Sfty miles west of the Mis !iuri river. Its present objective point is Fort Kearney, at which place it will f rm a junction with the Union Paciac railroad. "We congratulate the people of Bur lington, and Iowa generally, upon having Mr. Harris as a resident among them. Probably no one man has ever done half as niu..h for the State of Missouri as Ueorge S. Harris. No man ever pro- rioted imruieration of the best classes of citirer.s to Missouri M) systematically, en ergetically and successfully as he, while acting in the capacity of Land Commis sioner of tho Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad from 1S64 to 1870. We think - it safe to say that through his instru mentality, directly and indirectly, he ad ded one hundred thousand to the popu lation of Mi-::ouri and that of the best class of citizens. We take pleasure in thus voluntarily awarding credit to whom it is so justly due. With continued health he will do as much, we doubt not, for our sister States of Iowa and Ne braska. We are indebted to the Philadelphia less for the following: A cood storv is told concerning a visit made several years ago by a party of prominent llepnbhcans ot Delaware to - President Lincoln.

"So vcu all belong to the 'uoper end' of the State?" reacted. Mr. Lin coln, with a roeuish twinkle in Ins eye, nd then witha look cf earnest solicitude inquired, "Is there no danger of the " State tilting while you are away ?" The party bad a good laugh over this joke at (KaI c7r,.ncp -,nt. nomrf helasa resolved that it siio'ild not be sarTtt'rH to lenk out at home.

A Colored ?Znn AecKJmlnlly Fttioots a Colored 3y. The St. Joseph ITerald saj's a sad af fair that has brought sorrow to many hearts among the colored people in North St. Joseph, Ilighly's Addition, occurred yesterda afternoon. Tho circumstances, ns near as we can Ic-arn, were as follows: A colored man named Chas. Simpson, aged twenty-three year?, went into a house and took up an old rusty single barrel gun and pointed it toward a boy named Wami Burn?, aged ten years. lie was cautioned by au inmate of the house rgain?t doing so, as the gun was supposed to be loaded. He, how ever, did not heed tho warning, aud per sisted in snapping the firearm, holding , it within two feet of the head of the boy. After repeating this several times the charge exploded, entering the boy's head and causing imraediat3 death. Tha boy was immediately conveyed int the house and Coroner Berghoff was summoned to hold an inquest upon the body of deceased. Meanwhils, Charles Simpson came down town and went to Mr. Mitchell's photograph gallery, where he had been emploj-ed to clean and .sweep the building, lie did not at tempt to ew&pe after committing the deed. Marshal Stroud arrested him at the gallery of Mitchell & Son, on Felix street an J ljdged him in jail, where ho awaits examination. The verdict cf the Coroner's jury was rendered in accordance with the above facts. TWO JIE.V ?i?,T.ZXX r.3isotiii KiiLaoin. We learn frcm a passenger who came up on the freight train of the North Mis souri railroad, says the Kansas City Jieics, that two men wore killed out on that road a short distr.n?e from St. Charle. It appears that an excursion party had come out from St. Louis to pass the day at a plafe called Hunting don, only a few miles from St. Charles. On their return from the pic nic two young men, on? of whose names was Kcmmci (the otter's name we could not learn), seated themselves on top of the car?, and while passing under a bridge were knocked off. Kemmcl was killed instantly, and the other unfortunate man lingered only for a little while, whpn he expired. No blame can be attached to the employees of the road, as the young men had got upon the top cf the car contrary to peremptory instructions METHODISM. TJac DctnK ofi;:e .TI. E. Slalo Con- SKCJO"D DAY EVENING SESSION. Subject for discussion : The relation of a Christian to political parties. Address by the Itev. W. B. Slaughter was well written and ably delivered. It exhaust ively treated this interesting topic, show ing most clearly that the discharge of the duties cf uvery man, .social, political and religious, are all to be governed by the same' moral principles. It will not do to scrupulously inquire a to the mor ality of a social or religious action and ignore the same rule in political transac tion?. When a part' infringes upon moral principles it i j the imperative duty of every ChrL-.tian to sever his connection with his party. Let him avow his un utterable purpose to cast no vote for any man who is known to be a drunkard or lib ertine. Let him be known as the enemy of any man win) has once betrayed the trust reposed in him. Applause. The fidlowing resolutions were offered: llcsolccd. That it is not only the privi lege but ?d -,o tho duty of Christians to put forth every proper effort to secure in the political partie3 with which they act, the adoption of pure principles and the advocacy of correct measures ; and to this end we urge upon theui the ne cessity ot attendwig the primary meetings and nominating conventions, that only men of intelligence and known moral integrity may be elected to office. Eev. G. S. Alexander made a stirring speech on the resolution. He has snap and cracks like a whip. He is called in the convention the "irrepressible" Alex ander. Succeeding hici was C. W. Comtock: upon the same subject. He was followed by Rev. L. W. Smith. f:om the model county : (Pawnee), as he termed it, where they ha.e not a single whi.-:ky shop. Happy conrity. Hon. J. II. Croxton followed, in obe dience to a call from the convention. He had expected to be called upon, and hear'i'y concurred in the spirit of the resolutions. He thought that not only Christian men but all men should be guided by the same principles. There are too many profes-ienal politicians who hold office " for the sake of the salary alone. This should not be; tho public welfare alone should be the only incent ive. His remarks were li-tened to with profound interest and were heartily ap prove-d. Hon. G. W. Frost followed in some pertinent remarks He was irot a poli tician, lie had besn elected to eruce several times in Nebraska, but he had never giveu a dollar or sdiaken a man's hand to gain a vote. He thought that that was the proper waj' for men to be elected to oGce, He thought that Christians had as large aninterest in there matters as sny citizens of the country. They have their property and families, ana are closely identified with the inte rest? of their country, lie had noticed that men were extremely anxious about their record ; ho had dared to vote right and 'let the eor.se rjuenw? take care cf themselves. He would never vote fo? a map who, when elected to o2iee, would spend two-third3 of the time he owed to his country in laying plans to bo re-e-loc-ted. His remarks were voafcrous'y ap plauded throughout. Hon. E. II. Rogers of Fremont, was j called out and made some happy remarks, j T,- ref.-.rrod to tho gmt commsn Imwt ! r?

An a ldres', entirely too brief, from Rev. T. B. Lemon, presented the inter esting topic in thrilling power by which great results may be reached from small beginnings. lie portrayed the nocesi tios of our State for churches, and be lieves this society was to be the instru ment by which that necessity was to be relieved. A pa-rage of anus occurred here that consumed an hour of time, in which a number of members engaged in ti e war of word3 with great vehemence, which was finally squelched by moving tie previous question, and raising differ ent points of order. The relation of temperance to pontics. Rev. J. J. Roberts f poke to this topic. Sninge&t temperance resolutions were introduced and were advocated by lion. O. W. Frost, Rev. C. Munson, Rev. W. B.

Indian !t;iaa!n i'nrnrlheil Itclic of a Kacc of Giait4. On Saturday last, pays the Chillicothe Journal, Dr. T. Dice, of Dawn, sent to our office several interesting specimens of remains and relics recently du up from an ancient Indian mound ou Suoai creek, in Livingston county. A fev weeks ago Air. John Ranniou purchaed cf Mr. J. S. Rhodes three acres of timber land on the bank of Shoal creidf, about one-fourth of a mile north of the village ot Dawn. Up"n the land L a mound of earth eight feet high and thirty or forty in diameter. There are a number of similar monuds in the vicinity, but none of thm have ever been disturbed. Mr. Runnion was strongly tempted to erect his house l.pon the mound described on account oi its being an elevated location, but finally concluded not to do so. Alter building Lis house he bei;an to excavate tho mound, and after digging down from the top to the depth of four feet be came npon a ruai-s of human bones, mingled with tjne axes, tomahawks, carthoa waie, etc., etc. The skeletons sre very largo and indicate that they are the frame work of a race of human beings much larger than any now known to cx it. One of the specimens sent us, and which may ! e seen at our ofnee, is a beautiful stone axe about four inches long and three inidies wide. It is double edged, and ha 5 a round hole about three fourths of an inch in diameter, perfectly true and sniootK running through from one side to he other. The axe is ele gantly shaped and is polished as smooth as glass. " It is made of granite, and must have boon broucht from the Alle ghany or Rockv mountains. Besides thi?, there is os-.o of the bone? of the right fore-arm, and a portion of a jaw bone, containing two large molar teeth in a perfect state of preservation, and a piece cf crockery ware. Mr. Runnion did not continue his ex plorations farther than to ascertain that tins mound i.' the bu t resting place of a race of giants. This discovery is worthy the investigation of anticjuarians, an 1 may lead to still more important revel a tions. VIst44ssOM:2-. JPrngrets. We Epent a few days in Plattsmoufh last week, and were both surprised and delighted at the rapid progress and de velopment the place has made since la.-t before we visited it- Everything is on the move, which "means business.' The snort cf the iron horse ; rumbling of railroad trains; sound of the me chanic's hammer; laborers engaged in digging down the hills; and many other unt-.rring indications cf knmcrird" con stantly attract the attention. Cars are conveyed from the eastern shore of tho Missouri river directly into the town, and the farmer ships his produce in bulk, thereby giving him the v. 1 litional price of the cost of sacks, handling and ferry ing about twenty five cents better than farmers in Nemaha county, or any other without a railroad, can do. Many valuable improvements in the wny of building have been made. The "Brooks House," erected byCapt. Mur phy, and kept by Mr. lligby, is an or na.ncnt to the State both the building and the manner in which it i kept. The B. & M. R. R. Co. have erected ! extensive machine shops in the town and nave al m active operation, i.nngmg into the town many families of enterprising mechanics, and giving employment to hundreds of laborers. Two years ago Plattsmoufh was in cimed to "give up the gho-t;" but. she ".-truck iie" when t he secured the !. & M. R. R., and is now on the highway to untold prosperity.
