It is charged that the council are barter

also into past transactions.
J. Sterling Morton has "struck a new
lead" in a political way, which beats all
the "new departure," and "passive pol
icy" idea. He sugtresds a way of
beating Grant fur President, that we ad
mit looks more like success than anything
we have yet htard. He proposes that
the "resolve" and "whereas" democra
cy immediately assemble in National con
vention and nominate Gr int for Presi
dent. If that don t kill him we are at a
loss to know what would. Sterling ought
to know,' for he has been nominated by
them!
An exchange pays : "Men who do not
believe in advertising are about the first
ones to Hish to the editor when they get
into a scrape, to get him not to mention
it." We account for thU State of facts
on the ground that the men who ''do
not believe in advertising" are the ones
who follow a business that iclfl not he'ir
ailvcrtisiny ; hence they are perfectly
correct in keeping it in the dark as much
as possible. Keep away from the men
who are afraid to advertise those who
"do not believe in it."
Sumner has introduced a proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the
United State?, which provides, that no
person who has held the office of Ptesi
dent of the United States shail bo there
after eligible to that office; paid amend
ment not to fake effect until after the 4th
of March, 1S73.
We saw 3Ir. Farmer acrain to-d:ty, and
he stated that since yesterday eight more
of hi cattle had died, ruakiug twenty
five he has lost within the last five days.
Two more ho was unable to find, and he
believes that they are also desd. He
only keeps them in the stalk field a por
tion of the time now, and hopes to save
a portion of the balance by si change of
food.

After a long discussion, the House has
finally passed an apportionment bill,
which the Senate will probably not in
sist on amending. It fixes the ratio of
representation at 133,000 inhabitant",
without which no new State is to be ad
mitted, thus cutting off lor the present
Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. The
membership of the Hou-o is fixed at
283, taking one representative each from
New Hampshire and Vermont, and in
crca-ing the representation as lo!!ows:
Illinois, five, tho largest gain of ail,
making its total nineteen ; Massachu

Mr. Farmer (wrongly printed yester

aod stated that eight more of his cattle
had died, and that several more would
probably be dead by this morning.
There seems but little doubt now thar
the disease is caused by the cattle eating
too hearty of dry corn stalks which con
tained more or less smut.
Our readers will recollect that some
time since we pub'i-hed a statement fr.mi
the Fremont Tribu.ie that a number of
cattle had died in that vicinity from the
same cause.
In the sections of country visited by
the hail storm. last summer, this smut
i" found in considerable quantities. Mr
Farmer proposes to remove his cattle
and sec if he cannot cheek the disease
by changing their feed. These cattle
were all young, tha lots is a severe one

WHOLESALE.
Two or three good exclusively whole
sale houses are badly needed in this city.
It certainly requires no extended argu

that it is not fully comprehended by the
men who have the trean.j "to embark in
business of this magnitude. The exten
sion of the B & M. II. 11. into the in
terior makes this point especially desira
ble for wholesaling A single whole
sale Grocery House ia this
city would command almost the

In the Omaha JJerall of last Wed

which is appended the following, as cdito

'"It seems to bgin to appear that
Morten lias some rights there which ail

The next item fallowing thj above an
nounces that "J. Sterling Morton is in
the city, and has called at. the IhraU

statement to convince any one familiar
With Morton's style of writing that he

Lake," in Holt Co., Mo. As one looks
at it he is filled with wonder, and seems
surprised that wher- they tore that old
mill down they did not the.n fire that
"pile of saw dust."
Tho novelty of the crossing of "Old
Mudly," s.t Huh), is entertaining. A
cut through the ice, one foot wider than
the eld "flat," conducts you for once
straight across the river. A man on the
right aud auother on the left walk on
the ice and push the boat and its load
across.
The next item of interest to tho trav
eler is a seat in the dining-room of the
"Ohio Ilou.-e," in Rulo. This house is
kept by Messrs. Davis &. Van Lot t, and
I see they spare no pains to make trav
elers comfortable and at home. I am
now borne in a fine 'bus to the depot of
the Atchison & Nebraska Railro.d.
This depot is evidently a temporary af
fair, as it is only a box car surrounded
by a platform. In it we found a bag
gage apartment, aa office, a stove, a
waiting room, seats, &c., and whatever
the traveler complains cf, he is sure to
not complain of too much room. This
road is running some very fine rolling
stook, and is destined to do much to
ward the development of this portion of
our fine State.
My home in Falls City is at the City
Hotel, kept by T. J. Collins. Mr. C. is
a jerfeet centleman, and his fashionable
tables are well fii'c i with cheerful pat
rons, lie, with his amiable lady, know
ju-t how to make one fe 1 at home.
The business men here stem to be a
v id wake c'ass. They walk, talk and
ati. as though they were in haste all the
time, y our co; respondent regards them
as men of good judgment, because they
highly uppreciate and buy his misur-pa-sed
"Home Bible."
Farm products seem to be ranging here
iu prices corresponding to those of Cass
count v. Money is close ; yet the stock
dealers and grain buyers relieve the pres
sure, to an extent.
Hoping to meet you and in my others
at Fitzgerald's Hall on the even'ng of
the 27th. I am c,
A. J. Swarts.
