"KUHE JIKJintRS."
It is raid that "some members of the
Investigation Committee" were in Oma
ha a few days since taking testimony.
How U this, that "some members"
were in Omaha taking evidence, when
the committee was in session at Lincoln?
Is not this rather "doubling teams" on
the Governor? Could he be before
both branches ef this committee, to pre
sent his defence, at the fame time ?
This would look as if an advantage was
being taken of the parties accused, and
an effort was being made to prevent
them making a proper defense. We
hope we are mistaken about this matter,
and that the people's representatives are
not taking any such undue advantages of
the men whose official acts they are
called upon to investigate. It wrrnld
certainly be a long stride back into the
dark ages a re-establishment of the.
old time inquisitions of Spain to assail
the character of a man, either private
or special, without giving him a fair op
portunity to confront his accusers and
the witnesses brought to testify against
him. We are satisfied there is a mis
take about this matter, and that the
committee is composed of men who are
too honorable and high minded, and
who think too much of justice and a Re
publican form of government to permit
uny such proceedings.
UII'EACISJIEST.
TTie'Rlair Register has the 'following
sensible article in regard to the impeach
ment business :
We notice that several gentlemen of
the legal profession are ui.-cu.-slng the
impeachment question through the
Omaha papers, and among them we re
coffnize Judge Clinton Brigsrs, General
ErEstabroek and John Delany, with
whom we are personally acquainted, and
wiio are accouuted good authority in
thtiir profession. These gentlemen dis
agree on one point the liability of Gov.
Butler to impeachmcn, during hi3 pres
ent term of office, for aits committed
during his previous term. JJudge Brigirs
holds that the Senate has not the right
to try him for misdemeanors committed
previous to his present term, while Gen.
Eastbrook and Mr. Pelaney claim and
rightly too we think that Gov. Buik-r
of lsTl, is liubla to the official acts of
Gov. Butler of JStVJ and 1870. We
have too huh an opinion of the Gover
nor to believe for a moment, that ho will
seek to avail himself of this "Baby Act,"
in order to deprive our legislators of a
fair and full investigation of all his offi
cial acts. In his Inaugural Address he
courts an honest investigation of
the acts of his administration ;
and it is due to his honor, and to his
reputation among the people, that he
e favored, and thus shielded from the
base dishonor which wor.l 1 attach to his
name, if his mi-guided friends should
succeed in warding off, by a legal quibble,
a full investigation into the transactions
at the Capital.
We desire to see such men as cr3' "stop
thief!" and then Hoc to the mountains
when called upon to substantiate, under
oath, their base insinuations, promptly
and effectually silenced. The way to do
this is to tall them to the witness stand.
Let all such be summoned. A few more
precipitate flights like that of the Oma
ha Chief will clear the Governor before
the people. But let us make a clean job
of it now. The Governor understands
3 well as we that dodging, evading,
quibblinir, or "covering up" now, will
be considered by the press and people as
equivalent to conviction ; and so under
standing it, he is not so unwise as to
seek any avenue of escape save an hon
orable acquittal. We believe he will
meet the investigation boldly, and then
when cleared, he can appeal to an open
record, made by the representatives of
the people. We shall believe him inno
cent, until proven guilty, cither by com
petent witnesses on a fair trial, or by
availing himself of the legal quibble
which his impolitic friends are present
ing for his consideration.
If upon examination of "Persons and
Papers," by the committee, enough evi
dence shall be adduced to warrant a trial,
we shall bo "lirst and foremost" to ad
vocate a rigorous and uurclaxing prose
cution. A new wtll .
An Irishman took a contract to dig
a public well. When he had dug about
twenty five feet down, he came one day
and found it caved in filled nearly to
the top. Pat looked cautiously around
and saw nobody near ; he then took
off his hat and coat, hung them on
the windlass, crawled into some bushes,
and awaited eventn. In a short time
the eitizensdis?overd that the well hud
caved in, and Pat's hat and coat on the
windlass, they supposed he was at
the bottom of the excavation . Only a
few hours of brisk digging chard the
loose dirt from the well, and just as
the eager citizens had reached the
bottom, and were wondering where the
body was, Pat came out thanked them
for relieving him of a " sorry job. "
Some of the tired diggers were dis
gusted; but the joke was too good to
allow any thing more than a hearty
laugh that soon followed.
SLANDER.
Yes, you pass it along, whether you
believe it or not , and that one-sided
whisper against the character of a vir
tuous female, or an honorable man, you
don't believe it, but you will use your
influence to bear up the fools rcpoit and
pass it on the current. Strange crea
tures are men and women. How many
reputations have len l-t by surmistj.
How manj hearts Lave been bled by
whispers. How mary benevolent deeds
have been chilled by the shrug of a
shoulder, How many individuals have
been thunned by a gent!er misterious
hint. How many a bosom have been
wrong with grief by a single nod. How
many graves have been dug by false re
ports. Yet you will pass the slander
along, you will keep it above water by a
wag of your tongue, when you mipht
sink it forever. Destroy the passion for
tale telling. Lisp not a word that will
injure the character of another, and as
far as you are concerned the slander will
die. Scrap Hunk.
The Rome, (Ga.) Commercial made
its appearance the other morning with a
hole in it. The editor explained it in
the next issue, by stating that lie had
discovered an objectionable article, after
the edition had been worked off, and had
clipped it out of all the papers before
sending them out.
"Are you connected with a paper
here?" asked a countryman of on innate
of the Indiana Insane asylum. "Oh, no,"
was the reply; "I have been to the insane
asylum and am cured; a nran never runs a

The Press of the State generally seem
to accept the sudden lliht of Morton
and Miller to Utah as a confession that,
whether Gov. Butler is guilty of any
wrong act or not, they are not prepared
to substantiate the wholesale charges
they have been making and which Miller
has boasted he could prove in fifteen
minutca. Whether they know that
which would convict the Governor or
vnt, their flight at this particular junc
ture convicts them of oa?e slander and
unless they return and giv their evi
dence bef re the investigating com
mit, top, they will sustain that reputation
hereafter before the people of the State.

TllEiAlXl'S SYSTE5I.
Soon after the elections last Fall, we
published an article recommending the
abandonment of the present system of
nominating party candidates, and recom
mending that they be chosen by direct
ballot. We are glad to note that several
of our state exchanges are now agitating
the question, and that so far we have
not heard a dissenting voice among the
press of the state. The Nemaha Jour
nal says :
" The caucus concentrates political
power in the hands of the few, while the
true republican or democratic principle
is to distribute the power equally among
all. The shrewd managers, the ' know
ing ones,' will in politics as well as in
other pursuits, exercise a larsre amount
of influence in controlling affairs, and
while it is impossible, under any system,
to give all men an equal and exact amount
of power or influence in politics, it is
desirable and essential to the safety and
permanence of our institutions that we
approximate as nearly to that end as cir
cumstances will admit.
"The ballot is 'the best medium yet
discovered through which to exercise
this power, and the surest guard airainst
concentration. Its agency in politics is
to secure an untrammeled expression of
public sentiment. Let our nominations
hereafter be by ballot Abolish the cau
cus and institute in its stead a primary
election, held under such restrictions and
regulations as will insure a fair express
ion of the party sentiment. This has
been done in other States and localities,
and has given satisfaction.
"We are aware that primary elections
held under the auspices of party organi
zation are liable to abuse, just as is any
other plan that could be adopted, but
this is infinitely in advance of the emeu?.
It will lessen the opportunities for fraud,
and strensthen, purify and unite the
party. We csll the attention of our
county and state Republican Central
Committees to the matter."
Entrance i.ito Life.
It is doing a service to mankind to de
stroy the prejudice which is generally en
tertained that youth is educated when
some care has been taken of their in
fancy. This prejudice, besides other
bad effects of it, suspends the zeal of
that small number of individuals in the
middle ranks of life who wish to give
their children the best, education they
possibly can. From a false noticn that
the minds of young persons arc formed
at a very early peri id, they suffer them
to be their own masters at a time when
they stand most iu need of a guide to
direct them in the course of the ni zi
important part of their education, by the
wisdom of his counsels, tho gentleness of
Lis institutious and the force of his ex
ample. Few persons in their infancy,
learn the -rt of employing and govern
ing anil un ploying themselves; and it is
very difficult to learn it till the faculties
of the mind are full blown, and the char
acter h" taken its true bias. Wlien
young persons, therefore, are entering
upon the tempestuous ocean of human
life, then is the time when thev must be
uiirht the pilot's art, the manner of
steering their course so a.-t to a.uid iceks
and quicksand. A philosopher might
begin to take the cha-gc of education at
a time when tho vulgar think it is fin
ished. Many persr-n- .v.e capable of ed
ucating children in the ordinary methid;
there are few, very few, who are capable
of forming men.
An exchange ha3 the following sensi
ble paragraph :
"The man who wrote life is real, life

help you. 'Git up and git.' K?ep
the traces straight and pull right along.
Its rest when you get to the top. Don't
try to steal the passage on the coupling
pole of somebody else's wagon. Just as
sure as you get up there sone se!fi-h
cuss will bawl out 'whip behind,' and
you wiil have to dust. Go it alone;
watch the corners and you can tuke every
trick. These are the winning cards
honesty, energy, Christianity and liberal
advertising."
