THURSDAY, JAN. 12. 1871.
While we are more than pleased with
im? officers of the two houaei of our lg
lature, yet we cannot but deplore the
manner in which they were selected. By
private advices we learn that an effort
wa made to have a caucus of the Ile
pubtican meinhers of tha House,
but that only eighteen of the Republi
can members would a;ree to be bound
by the caucus not enough to ensure the
election of the caucus nominees over
Pemocrata and non-caucusing Republi
cans, consequently no nominations were
made and an open fight was the result.
As we stated yesterday, the result proves
that Republicans control the Legislature,
yet the throwing of the election of offi
cers into open house i one of the ino-t
damaging precedents that could have
been eet. It has done no actual harm in
the selection of the officers of the two
house, but it is a giving way to such
men as arc advocating the abandonment
of all party usages in order to destroy
the party. We cannot believe thru all
the men who advocated this course de
sire the destruction of the party, but we
do know that such is the desire of some
of them, for they have so proclaimed it
in secret places. We hope all true Re
publicans will look carefully at the ten
dencics of this coue an 1 see that the
party organization is not destroyed by a
few designing demagogues.
"UAKIIIF.I OR XOT jUBRIED."
Editor Hekald: I'nder the above
heading, in j our weekly issue of Dec. 22,
an article appears signed ly JuJ.e
Child in which he cites the case of Philip
Reihart and Laura Seibcrt, among oth
ers, as in doubt as to whether or not
they are married because no return has
been made to hiui from the person mar
rying them. The facts are that the li
cense was not issued until the 10th of
November, they were married by me on
the 20th of December (the day the
above mentioned article appeared in the
Herald). I believe the law gives three
months time in which to make these re
turns, and I ask if it would not have
been prudent in Judge Child to have
waited the expiration of this time be
fore calling attention to the facts in so
public a manner. N. IIaney,
Justice of the Peace.
THE OKUANIZATIOM.
The election of Hon. E. E. Cunning
ham as President of the Senate, and G.
W. Collins as Speaker of the House, in
dicates that Republicans still contrl the
Legislature of our State. They are both
out-spoken, fearless advocates of unal
loyed Republicanism, and men who dare
to advocato the utagesof the party, even
though the how's of the political hyenas
were louder and fiercer than yet heard at
our State Capital. They are men whom
undaunted and unswerving Republicans
will delight to honor, when the political
pirates who are warring upon both par
ties, have long since passed to that polit
ical bourne from whence no shystering
dcroagogue ever should return. Long
live Cunningham and Collins, the men
who placed them as the leaders of the
Legislature, and the Republican party,
of which they arc noble representatives.
Those moths who are fluttering
about the HfcRALD in the vain hope of
getting their wings scorched and thus
gaining cheap notori:ty: will please bear
in mind that the Hkrald has work to
perform, and cannot be turned aside
from its aims. We are endeavoring to
build up our city, county and State, and
prefer to devote our energies to that end
rather than in endeavoring to tear down
the good that others may accomplish.
If it affords those petty Uuttercrs any
pleasure to find fault with the Herald,
let them continue; but they must not
expect us to notice them unless ?t may
be to brush them aside should they se
riously interfere with our efforts to ad
vcrtisa this portion of the footstool and
develop its resources. "Shoo, fly !"
Our neighbor of the Ashland Times
indicates that the B. & M. charge too
much for freights. We met a farmer
to day from the vicinity of South Bend
(nine miles this side of Ashland) and
asked him what the railroad company
charged him for shipping wheat from his
place to Plattsmouth. lie informed us
that he paid $15 a car load, and put 350
bushels in a car. This would he equiva
lent to about four cents a bushel. Now
supposing the man had wagoned his
wheat to Plattsmouth (as we have heard
some extreme men say it would pay them
to do), what would he have received for
his labor. He could haul say thirty-five
bushels with one pair of horses, and it
would take him two days to makt the
trip, for which, according to the railroad
tariff, he would make the enormous
guni of one dollar and forty cents!
This would not pay for keeping
his team over night in Tlattsmouth, to
fay nothing of the two day's labor for
man and team and his own hotel bill.
Onr informant said he preferred to set by
the fire and let his horses remain in the
stable, and pay the R. R. Co. $15 a car
load to bring his wheat to Plattsmouth
Can our Ashland friends afford to hand
wheat to Plattsmouth for four cents a
bushel ? We remember when they used
to pay twenty-five cents a bushel, and
that wa3 only two years ago.

Lincoln, January 7th, 1S71.
As the day approaches for the election
of United States Senator, the contest
grows warmer and the excitement runs
higher. There is now no less than a
dozen candidates in the field, and each
day brings forward a new -one. They
each have their friends here who are
strongly urging their claim. Among the
most prominent candidates are General
Thayer, (the present incumbent). Hon.
John Taffe, Member of Congress, P. W.
Hitchcock, E. II. Rogers, John I Red
ick and He W. Frost.
There is a strong combination here
trying to defeat Gen. Thayer, but as
they cannot centre on any one candidate
they will doubtless fail, aud that gentle
man will be re-elected.
Both Houses met yesterday morning
at 10 a. m. No business of an import
and character came before them. At 2
p. m. they met in joint convention to
hear the reading of the Governor's Mes
sage. The message is generally regarded
as a very able document, and contains
many valuable suggestions, and is well
worthy a careful perual.

we are glad to note that Rev. J. B.
Maxfield and Col. R. W. Furnas, met
with that lody, and had a voice in its
actions. It will be remembered these
gentlemen were requested to re.-ign
some time ago, by his Excellency the
(governor, and as they failed to see that
it was to "'the best interc .t of the State
and Educational cause" to do so, have
not tendered their resignations. The
Board met to-day at 10 A. M., and will
select a Chancellor for the University.

The following paragraph gives a
glircpe of the method of terrorism by
which the Democracy made some of
their gains at the late election in Ala
bama :
"The Selma (Alabama) Timtx had the
following very significant paragraph soon
after the recent election : 'Nelson Fish
er, a barber at Brown's shop, voted the
Radical ticket and electioneered for the
same all day. He should be spotted by
all true men, and hereafter he should re
ceive no patronage from his former
patrons.' The Alabama State Journal
asks : '"If this is not intimidation what
can it be called?' "
?fcUte Sociable.
Last Tuesday the ladies of the Metho
dist Church of Montana, Roon county,
Iowa, gave a necktie sociable the lasted
novelty in the way of entertainments.
The following programme was issued '"by
order of the committee:" livery lady
upon entering the door will be required
to pive the doorkeeper an envelope con
taining a necktie made from tho same
material as the dress she wears that
evening, to bo made irf any conceivable
shape and trimmed if r-hc choo's.
Every gentleman pays fifteen cents at the
door and receives a check for a necktie.
It U hoped that all will be present by
eight o'c-Jock when the neckties will be
distributed to check-holders. After re
ceiving his new article ot dress each
gentleman will immediately commence
the seareh for the lady who made it and
he cannot better show his gratitude than
to treat her to a dish of oysters, cake
peache-f, etc. Fifteen cents admittance
for thoie who do not bring neckties or
purchaic checks. Come early.

A certain political speaker was ad
dressing a la Re audience in Virginia, and
descantin? vehemently against proscrip
tions of foreigners, when Lis eye fell
upon a little German Jew, a peddler of
ready madd clothing, who seemed to be
very much impressed with the argument
of the orator, greedily swallowing every
thing he uttered. This wns too good
not to make the best of, and looking the
peddler full in the eye, he exciaimed :
"Furriner, didn't you com? to this
country to c?cape from the tyrannical,
downtrodden and oppressed Europe ?
I)idnt you rice to these happy shores to
live in a land of freedom, where the
great rijrht of suffrage is guaranteed to
all : didn't you, furriner?"
He paused for a reply, when the little
peddler squeaked out :
"No, fir; I tome to dis country to
old sheep ready made elevling."
The atdonihuier.t of the orator and
the shouts and roars of the multitude,
cannot bo described. This finished the
haransrue.

As the season of tm year i nt hand
when a person need not do n.uch rating
to catch ft cold, we t-xtnut an extract
from an exchange and herewith publish
a few of the many cures offered t the
public by many charitable persons:
"Sleep with a hot brick to your flct
avoid getting it into your hat, keep out
of the cull air; keep your mouth
shut; take soothing nyrup; take a
hot ha tii ; take a col 1 bath ; avoid bath
ing; avoid cold water; tie an old stock
ing around your neck when about to re
tire: rub the neck with goose oil : take
snuff; feed a cold and starve a fever;
food for gluttons; cat cayenne pepper;
drink hot Cittiip tju; sasafras tea; black
tea; white tea; green ca ; dry tea;
wear flannel ; oat pickels ; chew licorice
root; take a sweat; and read the
paper?."
Tlie first cargo of tea by steamer via
the Suez canal, a: i rived in New Yoikon
Sunday. This is a jrreat event, as there
will now be no hindrance to American
importation. Seventy days from Shang
hai prevents the atmo.-phorie injuries
which tea receives on long voyages, an 1
places the blame where we wish it to
rest if the tea is adulterated. We do
not mind the oakum, indigo and herbs
which arc usp1 in China to oolor the tea
that the shade may bo uniform, but the
verdigris, borax and vegetable poisons
which the English middle merchant' use
to enhance the color an 1 price of' teas
shipped through their hou-es to Ameri
ca, is worse than the odious tax we iuab
