It is aid that leorsre Francis Train is

this is a ruse of (Jeorgc Francis to . gain
more notoriety-
The Omahi Tiibunc says it Las not

There is at lea-t one, and perhaps two, :
papers published in this State that make j
their entire stock in trade out of oppo- i
hitioii to the re election of Senator ;
Thayer. They have howled fearfully j
against him, tind the press of tho State
have looked on and heard their howls j
without taking a stand cither for or j
against the election of any particular in- i
dividuals. This so annoys these one
idea papers that they fairly beat the air
in their fury, and absolutely demand that
somebody shall "tread on their coat
tails" to keep them froui spoiling. The
Republican press of the State have
generally agreed that the republican
members of the Jiegislature thould de
de who fehould jg the U S. Senator,
and there they are willing to'let the mat
ter rest. Not so with the one idea con
corns especially the Omaha Tribune.
That concern was started on a tingle j
idea, and it has held its own remarkably j
well having never for a moment j
touched upon any other theme. It j
works itself into a towering passion be .
cause tfie various papers of the State J
laugh at its single handed combat with j
its own shadow, and leave the matter in j
the hands of the members elect to the j
Legislature, with full confidence that
the Republican members of that body
will do that which seemcth U' to thvm.
And that is ju.-t ''what's the matter" j
with our one idea neighbor at Omalia.
It fears totru-tthe Jlopubliican majority
in the Legislature. It is very anxkm
that the advice of the Democratic- and
;re hea 1 minority shall be oLcye 1. e
"feci for you," occasionally; but you
should not allow your "angry pas-ions
:. rise" because others do not feel in
clined to increase your stock in trade by
knocking chips off your siiouldcr.

He has recently made affidavits of this
fact, and of the further fact that the ?
tijned patent shown to him in the Land
Office for this tract has been mutilated
by the destruction of the last page on
which his signature was written, but this
fresh evidence has not yet been before j
the Judiciary Committee. In ld4, by J
pome process alleged to be fraudulent, j
the case was agaiu got before the Su-
pre me Court, which decided in ISoo i
acainst McGarrahiu. He applied to j
Congress for relief, showing sound prece- I
dents for his appeal. The Thiity-ninth ;
Congress passed a resolution forbidding j
a patent to issue until it had investiga
ted the case. In the Fortieth Congress
a bill passed the House by a large ma
jority vesting the title in McGarrahan,
but it was not reached by the Senate in
time for action. Tlie appeal was re
newed in the present Congress. The
Judiciary Committee heard both parties
at great length, first exacting from the
New-IJra Company a pledge that it
would not seek nor accept a patent until
Congress had acted in the matter. The
Committee has not . reported. It was
the attempt by Mr. Cox to infringe upon
this agreement, and to go back on his
own pledge to the Committee, that
brought down the President's reprimand
, , and subsequently caused his resignation.

should now say something about Gen.
Thayer; you shoul-t tell folks what a ter

in Nebraska about fifteen years. Vou
who have lived here such a reat length

'Mr Pea it Sin and Madam: In
the untimely loss of your noble son, our
affliction here is scaivo!.: ; h-s than your
own. So much of promised usefulness
to one's country, and of bright hopes
for one's self and friends, have nrtver i
been so suddenly dashed as in his fall.
In size, in years, and in his youthful ap
pearance a boy only, his power to com
mand men was unsurpassingly great.
This power, combined with a line intel
lect and indomitable- energy, and a taste
altogether military, constituted him, as
seemed to me, the best natural talent in
that department I ever knew. And yet
he was singularly modest and deferen
tial in social in'ercourse. My acquaint
ance with him began less than two years
ago; yet, through the latter halfo' the
intervening period, it was as intense as
the dispairty of our ages and my engross
ing engagements would permit. To me
lie' appeared to have no indulgences or
pastimes, and I never heard him utter a
profane or intemperate word. hat
was conclusive of his good heart, he
never forgot his parents. The honors
he labored for so laudably, and, in the
sad end, so gallantly gave his ' life, he
meant for them no less than himself.
" In the hope that it may not be no
intrusion upon the sacredness of your
sorrow, 1 have ventured to address yu
this tribute to the memory of my young
friend and your brave and early fallen son.
"May God give you the consolation
which is beyond all earthly power.
Siucerlv your friend in a common atflict
tiou. " "A. Lincoln."
It is said that a merchant of Omalui

tempts to find nature's sweet re-torer,
at sindry hotel, he finally approaches
the House, and rather liking the
appearance of the place, he walked in
and walked up to the register to enter
his name. Imagine hs dismay at seeing
an old grey-headed bedbug crawling over
the page on which he had just registered
his name. He threw down the pen and
started out of the door, exclaiming as
he went, "'Veil, Omaha may take the

near "lying from an overdose of nutmegs,
of which he had partaken rather freely
for the purpose of removing from his

exert their utmost skill to relieve him,
and after spending almost the whole
night with him, succeeded in rcclieving
him of the attack, and declaicd I.i.n out
of danger. The practice of eating nut

of tlie country, and this instance of the

Editor Herald: I see by the
newspapers of Omaha, that some dispo
sition is manifested to test the great pro
blem of "fuel for Nebraska," by boring
one thousand feet for it. There seems
to be a great division of opinion at that
place, anl where divisions of that char
acter exit the chances are that the
cowardly advice will be followed, because
people naturally cling to S'ifc advice
I whore their pockets are likely to be af-
feete 1 and unreasonably demand too
! positive as.-uranees of success before
risking their money. Now sir, why not
organize a company here simply to test
this question by boring. Say we start a
company with 10o0 shares, each share to
be worh $()., making an aggregate
capital of 62O.(M)0. Let ten j-cr cent be
paid in, which will give $2000 to start
with and will be an assessment of $2.
per share. Let the stock be taken un
der the law by subscription, and after
the books are closed, let the share hold
ers divide the stock which is left in pro
portion to the origiual suOM-ripinn.
Having ?2 ioj paid to start with, a set
of officers working gratituously could
foresee the wants of tlio company and
levy assessments from time to time to
meet the expenditures. Thus the work
of boring could be successfully carried on
without being bunhnsome to any of the
shareholders. Tt certainly would not
cost over $.7)00 or per cent of the
capital stock, to test the inaticrthoroiigh
ly, or 63. per share. Will not ssme of
our enterprising citizens take hold of
this matter at once. Let the right of
mining be obtained from all property
holders for a given number of years, and
a sujieient space nt the surface secured
to accomodate all the wants of the boring
and if needs be the shafting, then go to
work by contract, Let advertisement:
be published calling for bids to bore a
given distance reserving the riht to stop
the contract as soon as coal is reached in
a sufficiently thick layer. Why wait?
Why not prove the matter beyond tho
sa.iddow of a doubt. Ju-t think -Mr.
KiiiTOi; what n blessing it would be to
this city r.ay not only to us but to all

The Mouitur says a great battle is

A Vorld's special from London says:
A .correspondent at Versailles, on the
2.1th. says the opinion at headquarters is
that England means nothing by speaking
fbr 'fuikey, but wiil back down as soon
as she sees Ilussia and Prussia acting to
getuer. A World special from London says:
A special from Tours to-day says that
yesterday the right wing of the army of
the Loire, ha; ing repulsed, during the
previous day, several attempts of the
enemy to turn its Hat k, advanced to
General Mcntarges and thn commenced
a movement toward Pithiever's con bi
nation, with an advance of the right,
center of the army at Arbenay to the
same point.
A World's sjiecial from Lcndon says :
At the Cabinet Council, yesterday, a dis
patch was received from Odo llusi-el con
taining Pisniarck's proposal for a con
fcieuce to be h dd at London to settle the
question of llu-sia's claims. Also a
note from Cmnt Petinstaff, stating that
Prussia lecommended Russia to with
draw Gortschakoff s note, on condition
that a conference be held. Gjitscha
kotl's second note was read the third
time. The Cabinet agreed to Granville's
re pi, expressing the willingness of Eng
land to agree to a conference, provided
that Pussia withdraw Gortsclukoff's first
note. Messengers were immediately
sent to St Petersburg and Versailles to
convey this reply.

But are not a'd sirrh contests "vanity of

dancing as an exercise or than billiards
or ten pins as a "pleasing contest ?"
The Wisconsin Conference seems to be
t i
gical, at least, whatever
may
be
thought of the fiucstioti of expediency,
in setting their faces niike against ?U
such amusements, for if the bars are

with their ""pleasing contests," it is not
easy to ice where the stopping place on
