That body, it will be seen, is Republican bj- four to one. It is true thai some of these Republicans were elected in oppo sition to the regular ticket. But, local questions, and not political principles, obtained in all these cases. So far as our observation extended, not one of the bodies that assisted iu the.-e independent nominations, alluded to differences ex ccpt of a local character. In this county the bolting movement was made in the intcie.-.t of a Senatorial candidate. Not so eUcwherc. It is therefore, fair to presume 'hat these independent Repub licans will act in good laith with their party friends on the Senatorial and all other matters of a party character. Any other presumption would be an imputa tion upon their political integrity. We are told that some gentlemen in ihis city are already calculating the chances of carrying the Senatorial fight into the Legislature, and effecting com binations between the Democrats and Republicans (if there are such) who are unfriendly to the election of General Thayer. We say to such and to all that it is legitimate for Republicans to vote their personal preferences in the caucus of their own party, when that shall be convened to designate a candidate. But, when the decision is made there, that is an end of controversies according to all the legitimate usages of party. To carry the contest further, to refuse to go into caucus, to form combination with -Democracy, or to ake any step in that di rection is treason to the Republican or ganization, and fixes upon the authors of any such combination the brand of trcachery so deep as to cut them off from a further right to participate in the councils of the party. About this there cannot be, there will not be two opinions, if the Republicans of Nebraska recog nize the claims aud usages that regulate parties in every section ot the country. Therefore, we thus, now and here, at this early stage of the discussion, warn those who are seeking to keep up the Senatorial contest, to embitter the quar rel and to make the Democratic minority in the IjejUlature a party to it, that they do so at the peril of a reprobation that will come up not only from the true Republicans of this fctate, but from the Republicans of the whole nation. There are metes and bounds to per sonal controversies within party lines. We supposed that these bounds had been reached in this city and county ; indeed, that they had already been treasonably transcended. For, any man who openly labors and votes with and for the politi cal enemies of the Republican -party, no loi.ger has a claim upon that party. . He has exiled himself by his own voluntary a-t, and has no more right to counsel with and dictate the action of his party than any other political enemy. If this is not so, political organization is a farce, and the party is at sea, without compass or chart. We have treated kindh, aid withmore than customary party forbearance, those who, in this contest, voted a bolting Re publican ticket. We know that the gen tlemen who compose that ticket, that the distinguished Republican in whose interest it was supported, and nearly all those who in good tauh supported it, claimed to be sincere Republicans. They have proved, iu the past, their title to this position. While we regret the Questionable Dosition in which thev placed themselves, when it was no longer doubtful that they stood in opposition to tbe clearly expressed sentiment of a large majority ' their cn psrfy. wop-framed Mi from the utterance of words of bitterness and denunciation. Now that the elec tion is over, and the verdict of the party is recorded by the overwhelming majority of sixteen hundred against four hunrred, there is no longer reason or justice for the continuance of this unnatural and demor alizing feud. If there is any virtue in the majorities, the majority given on Tuesday last is certainly decisive enough to de mand recognition. We are sure that the fact will he recognized by Republi cans throughout the State, by the Re publican members elect of the Legisla ture, and by the press or the State, who cannot fail to see that in the con inuance of this internecine struggle, are the germs of future disorganization and defeat, bolting organs and corrupt appliances. We claim that the delegation elect from this county, backed as it is by so emphatic a verdict of the ballot-box, has a right to speak for Douglas county and to. receive tnat consideration usually. accorded under circumstances so unambiguous. INDIAN OI'TKAUE- One 9Cmb Killed on Knak River Another EntMlljr Wnadea. We have been kindly permitted to werusea letter received by Mr. Thomas Mack, of this city, from P trick Hulihan, dated Snake River, October 13th, con taining an account of a desperate en counter between a party of five gold seekers, known as the "Snake River Expedition." and twents'-eight Indians. This party left Salt Lake City ibr the Snake River country, and had been out six days, when they were attacked by Indians, as above stated. John Donovan was instantly killed, and Michael Higgins was wounded so badly that he cannot possibly recover. Thomas McLaughlin also received a slight flesh wound. Four ponies, and everything of value belong ing to the party, were captured, and the survivors barely escaped with their lives. The next day the party was reinforced by an acquisition of fifteen men, and Thomas McLaughlan was made Captain. With this force they searched for and found the Indians, killed two of their number and recaptured three of the ponies. The writer states that Higgins cannot possibly recover, he having been shot in the abdomen, and that, as soon as his fate is settled, the party will return to Omaha. They will probably reach here about the 24th inst. Omaha lleruld. Spend Wl ely. liook most to your spending. No matterwhat comes in, if more goes out you will always be poor. The art is not in making money, but in keeping it ; little expenses, like little mice in a barn, when they are many, make great waste. Hair by hair, heads get bald. Straw by straw, the thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by drop the rain comes in the chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if the tap leaks but a drop a minute. WThen you begin to save, begin with your mouth ; there are many thieves down the red lane. The alo jug is a great waste. In all other things keep within compass. In clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry tiueries. To be warm is the main thing; never mind the looks. Never stretch your lej.s further than the blanket wiil reach, or you wiil soon be cold. A fool may make money, but it needs a wise man to spend it. Remember it is easier to build two chimne3 than to keen one going. If you give all to back and board, there is noth.ng left for the pavings bank. Fare nan. and work hard while you are young, and you have a chance of rest when you are old.--John Ploughman, Lincoln Malt Works. The great sensation at the capital of the fctate since the recent land sales, is the celebrated Salt fountain of Dr. Evans ti, Co. The boring has been going on for some months and finally having reached a depth or six hundred teet, they sud denly came to what they term a floor of salt brine, the strength ot eighty degrees It flows at the rate of two barrels a min ute. The tubing already in, raises some fifteen or twenty feet above the surface of tbe ground and the water flows over the top in a beautiful water spout. It is visited by large numbers every day, and it is well worth a trip to see it Visitors think as much of visiting the fountain as they do the public: buildings of the State at Lincoln. The salt man ufacture in Nebraska is now an assured success, and there will soon be an ex penditure of capital at Lincoln which will make it rival tbe salt manufacturing establishment of Michigan and New York. This staple article of commerce will not only be one of the principal means of building up Lincoln, but it will be of incalculable value to the State at large. Atlas. Omit nnd Style Coming into court one day, Erskine perceived the ankle of Mr. Balfour, who generally expressed himself in a very circumlocutory manner, tied up with a silk handkerchief. "Why, what's the matter?" said Erskine, "I was taking a romantic ramble in my brother'sground," replied Balfour, "when coming to a gate, I had to climb over it, by which I came in contact with the first bar, and grazed the epidermis of my leg, which has caused a slight extravasation of blood." "You may thank your lucky stars," said Erskine, "that your brother's gate was not as lofty as your style, or you must have broken your neck." Abtnt Faitb. Beecher, talking about the prevailing aennmons oi iaitn, says: mere is nothing so good but its name may be so dwelt on as to do harm. And vital as faith is, wo believe its name may be so much used as to work evil. Whenever any process, any act. of the soul, is so much thought about that it is made mme prominent than what it acts toward, the true working of things is perverted. It is through Faith that we come to God and Christ. But sometimes wc wish we could hear less said of '"faith," and more of God and Christ themselves. To a man who is learning astronomy you do not say much about the process of sicht. you talk of the sua and stars. And to a soul seeking its true place, we would say Days r 'olldtKd. Oh, the bread and butter that mother useded o ppread for usl the thick, gen erous slices, so sweet and toothsome. with which we appeased hunger between meals. Y e never cat such bread now, nor taste such cloven butter. Why! Because the dust of thewoild lies on our hearts, and its taste is in our mouth. We want the child's appetite, the warm blood of youth, the keen zest for enjoy ment. Mother might cut us bread and butter nqw, but it wouldn't taste the same that it did in the pine kitchen whither we hurried barefoot after school, to astonish and delight her with our wonderful appetite.

Ykrsaili.ks via London. Oct.-1 7. The reports of the French successes before Paris are untrue. They are in vented for the purpose of keeping up the eouaage of the people. The Prus sians hold exactly the same positions that they occupied on the l'.)th of September Two small skirmishes between outposts on Thursday and Friday are the only en counters that have occurred during the week. The Prussian report that Soissons, after an obstinate defense of four days, has capitulated to the German forces. A letter written by a Parisian, which has fallen into G-tman hands, aJmits that Purls is provisioned for only two months longer, and the only hope of the besieged is to act offensive, and by a pitch ed battle dislodge the besiegers. It is rumored that General Boyer has been sent by I'az.iit c to the royal head quarters at Versailles to treat for the feur retider ot Metz. Tours, October 17.

The Pari Government determined to cany on the war. Mr WaJiburne means to remain :it 1VU. Gen. Sheridan has left the hervl piar rers and has gone to Brussels. This is :i g od sign that the reduction of Paris is not imminent. I learn from ari offi cial source that the city is not to be shelled. An American diplomatist, in good re lations with the government, propose that Lorraine and Alsace, with Luvcui- ! burg, be given to Belgium, and their neutrality guaranteed by the European Powers It is intimated that France will consent to this projKisition. Special to the Triunne. London 1). A special correspondent at Berlin tele L'taphs that the armies investing Pari have been and still are receiving heavy rcinfo-vemcnts, comprising landwehr vruards recently before Strasbourg, the bulk of the newly formed 13th corps, be fore Toul, a Baden corps which is march ing by Troys, and alo a reserve corps formed in Silesia, which is to be designa ted as the lfth corps, numlering in all about lOOjlHX) men. The 14th corps, under General Weider, is advancing from upper Alsace aga:ust Ithone. An army is supposed to be forming at Ly ons. The reported suffering of the troops before Paris from want of provisions is authoritatively contradicted. The Chief of Staff of the 13th corps reports formal siege oneratious com menced a! Verdun and Soissons. Ope rations at Paris have been delayed by Bismarck's desire to prevent the shelling of the city, but the attack is now ex peeted to commence next week. The statement that soldiers are being drafted in New York to quell disturban ces at the polling places is unfounded The 1st artillery will have to come to Bed. oe's" Island from Fort Delaware, whish is to be occupied by the Engineer department, to reuiodcl the works. London, October 18. Rumors of an armistise are current in banking circles here, aud stocks are ad vancing. It is reported that R'.tssia tenders her offices for mediation, and that Austria and Kngland are anxious for peace. Bankers to-day decline to negotiate Ber lin paper. Ham! urg and Bremen are threatened by the French licet, and the excitement in tho- e places is intense. Thiers has returned to France. The Tillies reminds its readers this is tlse anniversary of the battle of Nations, wt-.'.cii occurred near Lcpsie on the 18th I of UctobcT, 1771. It h;i.- been generally understood in the German camps that the bombard ment ot Paris f'tvui all lu batteries would be opened on this anniversary, which is so fuii of glorious remembran ces to the Get mans, and which has bceu ! ru'arly celebrated for years. The German army in France is main tained 1-y constant reinforcements. It is estimated that there are fully G0.O00 armed Prussians on French soil. Nothing has been heard from la Fort Staubin. At last accounts a battle was imminent at that point. The following dispatch is just received: Yallencknnes, Oct 18. ' Rabulo, an attache of the foreign of flee, has ju.-t arrived here from Paris. j He says tne people are calm and hopeful; politically anatrs are unaltered. the I'ru-siaus now investing the city screen themselves behind their powerful batte ries. So tremendous is the French fire that the plains are absolutely swept by it. The best gunner.-, in the world are col lected in the Paris fortifications; the marines never miss their mark at G0O0 metre. The Prussians threaten iiume diate : ombardmont. . This is impossible, for so long as the French forts outside are so well served no enemy can approach near. The manufacture of arms is ae tiveiy going on in Paris The World s special savs the Queen has been advised by representatives from the Prussian court to take an active part in urging hor ministers to make an effort at securing a treaty of peace between Franc an i Germany. The following particulars of the battle of Bagndux is ju.-t received here : At U o'clock iu the morning the French opened with a heavy artillery fire, which was very vigorously answered by the Prussians. The French then ad vanced in double quick, the garde mobile having the lead. A desperate battle en sued. The Prussian position was carried at. the point of the bayonet. The Ger mans were unable to withstand the ava lanche of men hurled against them. They re-orled to several stratagems but failed in all, and were at length dispersed. The mobile entered Bagneux where the Prussians had erected a barricade. These were carried with but slight loss. At this time heavy masses of Prussians were seen on the platteau, and as the French were now exposed to a severe fire of artillery from th e forts in the neigh borhood, they fell back unmolested The object of the reconnoisance was af fected in every particular. The Prus sians lost 300 killed and 100 captured. It is understood to night that the French, Spanish and Dutch Ministers have united hi protesting against any change in existing territorial arrange ments of France, Holland and Belgium. Jjattr liOndon, midnight Negotia tions at Brussells between General Burn side and others have resulted in a total failure. The foreign office was to-night itiformcd of the failure, and that he abandons all hope of a settlement. The bombardment of Paris will com mence immediately. Siege gunswere plamed yesterday at Chattiilon. Russia demau Is a revision of the treaty of lS.Vi. On Sunday, a fresh attack was made on the German positions to the south of Pari, which were not earried. The pro ceeding" by the Bavarians, who.sti'l held Bagom-aux Chivii'y and Shay, were taken by sui prise early in the morning by the gardes mobile. The Bavarians fought stubbornN, and the acticn lasted till in the afternoon. A letter from Paris, dated 14th, re ceived by balloon, says, the squares and pleasure grounds have been planted with ca ibages and cauli flowers. Ihere is no anxiety about peace. The battle of Bagoneaux resulted in such severe loss that the Prussians asked six hours armis tice to burry their dead. Iiiffniarck'8tjroto?ai.s for peace, throuuli , Iron. burn?ide, were tho payuient ot an indemnity of eighty millions stcrlintr, Alsace and Jjorraine to be neutral terri tory lor ten years, and then to decide by a plebl-citniu their future government the Prussians to enter Paris and sign a peace there The Prussians indignantly refuse these terms. Brussels, October 13. The Independence Beige sustains its attack on BirTDarclt's policy. It clnrges NO. 24 him with dealing in insinuations with the allegation of faith. Tot ks, October 18. The Prussian- and f'rji.ch are still con centrating large forces near Orlenn. pre pararory to a great battle. The Prus sian occupy the city ito!f as well as a camp at lMIair near Meiin.

Stratectical move ments in that direction are on foot. In the absence of any representatives of the United States at Tours, the French government requests the press to make known to the American government and people its extreme desire to make a new postal treaty between the two nations, and that it would gladly receive a apeeial embassador for that purpose. ST. PfcTKltSIH UO, Oct is. The government censor of the press has been removed for permitting attacks by new-papers on the King of Prussia. Florknck, October H. The Italians complain that foreign governments are too tardy in instructing their embassadors to recognize the new order of things at Ro:n The Italian government will shortly make this matter the subject of earnest remn trance. a Papal bull is soon expected dissolving the liCtinienical Council, on the ground that there is no place where it can be freely held.

Speaking of the result in this State, the Xonpareif justly says: "In view of the extraordinary efforts put forth by the Democracy to compass the defeat of the Republican ticket in Nebraska, the result of Tueuday's work is eminently gratifying. All honor to the gallant Republicans of Nebra-ka." Fell Short. We understand the Hon. John Crox ton was very much disappointed by the result of the election in Douglas county. He had been led to expect about a thousand majority in it after the tre mendous labors of the Herald, &c. A A hundred majority for Butler made th? slight difference of 1,1 Cm). "Great ex pectations" received a sudden shock. Still the result at Nebraska City was no more flattering. Omaha Republican. RcmiI till to Your Swi-flhoitrtw. The character of a community depends much on the young women. If tbe latter are cultivated, intelligent, accomplished, the young men will feel the requirement that that they themselves should be up right, and gentlemanly, and refined ; but if their female friends are frivolous and pilly. the young men will be found to be dissipated and worthless. But re member always, that a sister is the best guardian of a brother's integrity. She is the surest inculcatorof faith in female purity. As a daughter, she the true light of home. The pride of the father oftener is centred in bis sons, but affec tion is expended on his daughter. She should, therc'ore, be the sun and centre of all. Hoiiiethlntc to Item ember. An old Chinese proverb gays: "Do not stop in a cucumber field to tie thy shoe." The meaning is very plain.--Some one will be likely to fancy that you are stealing fruit. Always remember the injunction, "Abstain from all appear ance of evil." Do not stop under the saloon porch to rest yoarself, however shady the trees may be, or however easy the chairs. Some one may fancy you arc a common lounger there, and so your pood nnmc be tarnished. Don't go to a li.pior saloon to get a glass of lemonade, however refreshing it would seem to you. Hal her buy the lemons and prepare the cooling beverage at your home, where others may share it with you, probably, too, at no greater expense than your single glass would cot you. Somebody seeing yon drinking at the bar, will be sure to tell the storj and will not be par ticular to stae that you were drinking only lemonade. Then, too, if you are careless about tbe appearance of evil you will soon grow equally cart-Kss about the evil itself. Young'! People's Helper. A Hnkbnnd'i Valoe.
