The Omaha ILrall of Wednesday
morning pretends to quote from (jo v.
Untler's speech in that city in regard to
the value of the land mortgaged by him
to secure the . 17,000 loau, and fpuotcs
him as saying
'"The laud near Pawnee, I bought ten
year ago for .-even dollars per acre. I
have bought another forty acres, for ten
dollars per acre."
Ceo. J.. Miller knows that Gov. Rut
ler made no such statement, and he
knows, further, that Gov. Butler did
state that he i'AU FORTY DOLLARS
l tat acp.e for a part of the land alluded
to, and that lie would not, to-day, sell
the land, id-ogelher, for $40,000 ; and
that there were -I'll) acres of the land
that he would not take $10 an acre for.
Geo. Ij. Miller heard Gov. Butler make
this .statement in the presence of more
than a thousand people, in Simpson's
Hall, in Omaha, and jet he has the
audacity, the reckless disregard for
truth, and the willingness to do Gov.
Butler an injustice, to state in his paper
that Gov. Butler said that he had
"'bought another forty for tea dollars per
acre." Can the man that will report to
sueh low down, despicable means to in
jure a political opponent, be believed in
anything lie says ?
The Mound City Setduul vividly
shows what a calamity might have be
fa!len this State had it not been pre
vented. It says:
"The State of Kansas would have
sufierrd terribly from drouth this season,
had it not leen for the many showers
that have been intersiersed at short in
tervals." wmmmmmmmmmmm
The Chicago Republican gets oil the

Count Bismarck is very near sighted.
It is probable that tha reason lie does

Lincoln, Sept. 14, 1S70.
Kditou State .Toi rnai. : As a pri
vate citizen, unmixed with politicians,
only so far as voting the Republican
ticket, and as an individual endeavoring
to g.iiu a livlihood in the active bu.-iness
of life, I am con-trained to reply to the
out rageous personal attacks of the editor
of the Omaha 1 If mid. What 1 state
hero rehiiive to the school loan and other
matters are j-u-ecpiib'o of proof, and the
candid reader wiil thus place upon the
brow of the aforesaid editor the brand of
false-hood.
A preliminary to wh.it I shall say. I

Miller, watchful Miller! who f.r four
years has been watching to get inside of
what he calls the "Saline swindle ai.d
Lincoln lot and land ling." Miller,
who a little over a year ago signified a
brains and common sense, that he cordd
not even make a decent "adventurous
speculator," charges honest citizens with
robbery, cheating and swindling.
Now my dear Doctor, as to charge
fir-t, that of being a partner of Gov
ernor Butler i:i "lot and land rings,"
you know that to be a base lie ! from
the fact that you and your co-workers in
iniquity know that I have been a persona!
enemy f Governor Butler for the past two
years, partially from reading the slander
ous reports in your dirty -licet, and giv
ing them credence. And I will hen
wi.-h to join me in buying up a monop
oly of Salt Sj 'lings through corrupting
Governor Butler. Miller who edits a
dirty, slanderous, scurrilous sheet, ex
celling Satan himself, in his vile per
sonalities anl sneaking insinuations, and
sending out to his lew readers, a paper
beyond aii others, a burning dL-grace
to journalism. Just think of it! this
cotton thief editor, whose cotton spec
ulations have given him a reputation of
the worst possible kind, and whoso rob
bery of the daily bread of the children
oi honest laborers, should sink him be
neath the contempt of all honest men
and who , is so " utterly devoid of
state in behalf of Governor Butler, that
after two years watching for that won
derful ring, that "lot ring," that
"golden ring," that "thieving ring," of
which you state he is the chief, and my
self the associate, that I have failed to
perceive the slighle.-t evidence of that
wonderful ring, and conclude that it on!y
exists in the frenzied brain of the cot
ton speculator. I will further say that
I know of my own personal knowlcge
that Gov. B itler has refused time and
again to become interested in the sale of
lots and lands, which without defrauding
the State, would result in great gain to
himself, and I further state as a fact,
that his worst enemies cannot put their
fingers on a single transaction in the sale
of lots and lands by which he has de
frauded the State.
And now; a word in reply to your false
accusations in regard to the school loan
on my hotel. The hotel referred to,
the "Tichenor lloti'-e" cost thirty-five
thousand dollars, for which I have the
vouchers to show, and ti e furniture ten
thousand dollars, all of which, is insured
by policies in the following companies;
-bltna, Lori'Jards, Underwriters, i'hee
nix and Putnam, to the amount
of twenty-seven thousand live
hundred dollars the policies,
being as-irned to the State as security
for the loan of ten thousand dollars.
This loan bearing ten per cent, annual
interest being three per cent, more
than United States sefurities and I
hold a recoipe from the Treasurer of the
State for six months interest paid in ad
vance. And now, Editor Miller, I as
sure you that the judgment of evtiry
eandid, thinkins; man, after examining
the Tichenor Hou?e and the abstract,
will be that no possible contingency
except an earthquake, sinking our far
famed city will result in loss to the
general school fund of the State. The
above are the facts in the case.
In el o.-ii;g, my dear Doctor, allow me
to ask you to send me your dirty daily
for one year, and I promise to pay you
out of the first money plundered from
the State, either by myself.or Gov. But
ler. And should you chance to visit the
Tichenor House you will find an atten
tive landlord, a good looking proprietor,
and a room reserved for vou in the
tower of said hotel, which is forty-five
feet neaier Heaven than you will possi
bly ever reach. A. C. Tk'Hexok.

Let no deluded Democrat supj o-e that
misconduct in any one or any hail dozen
Republicans, though their official posi

the rule of the State of Nebraska. It
may put all the emasculated virtue of
the State at the head of its ticket ; it
may shout corruption till it is hoarse ; it
may draw its face to never so great a
length and make the longest kind of
prayers, it is all in vain. Republicans,
with or without Governor Butler, will
keep the rule of Nebraska, and stili lead
her forward in her career of honor and
greatness. The amiable Mr. Croxton
we always associate the name with so
much goodness that we instinctively and
reverently pause when we write it need
hope nothing from any temporary disaf
fection among Republicans. The people,
the honest, loyal, ever faithful 2-ojile of
the State will take the matter in their
own hands, and all the holy maxims that
the Democracy can inscribe on their ban
ners will not deceive them. Where there
is need of rescue from corruption, De

refuted every Democratic slander which
has been invented up to date, and in
such a manner as to convince the most
skeptical. We have no time nor space
to attempt a report of hia speech and

Henry Wickham, jr., a young man
cf this city, has achieved, he thinks, the
theory and practice cf perpetual motion.
Many will recollect the photograph of
his machine, exposed at Andrew's din
ing saloon, and perhaps at other public
places, last spring. It was given out
that a half interest in the invention (u
caveat only bavins been tiled then) had
been sold to Ham Buehmasterfor seventy
five thousaud dollars, and that the affair
would soon be exhibited to the public at
large. Hinee that time a full patent has
been received by Mr. Wickham, and
his machine has also behaved itself
handsomely, working without cassation
for months. The most essential portion
of the machine consists of a hojlow rock
ing lever, or beam, resembling the walk
ing beam of a steamboat engine, except
that it is bent at obli-pie angles in seve
ral places. Inside this arc placed ball,
partially filled with mercury. The ballsr

of the hollow beam in a vain search after

their weight, the beam is forced up, an l
the balls are again impelled in their on
ward J-ace, only to be causht by the
valve that is forced open trcra without,
and pushed into the upper arm of the
beam or lever, ready to be hustled along
their never ending route.
A delicately adjusted weight and brake
are attached to the machine, and serve
to regulate its motion, but it is in th-j
hollow tpokes ami beams, and the balls
of'quieksilver, that the mysterious power
is .said to lie. Chicago Pest.

if possible, or make a kind apology for
them. But afterwards, in an hour or
two, or better still the next day, draw
the child's attention to the fault, if fault
it was, in a friendly and loving manner ;
point out the impropriety in some kindly
way ; show where it was wrong or rude,
and appeal to the child's self-respect or
manliness. This is the best way to cor
rect all family errors. Sometimes it may
not succeed ; sometimes harsh measures
are required ; but try the deprecating or
kindly method with perfect equanimity
