A SUGGESTION.
It being an undoubted fact that oar
western counties Lave increased .'greatly
in population since the last vote io this
State, on which their, representation is
bared ; and that man? ef the' newly or
ganized counties can pell a large vote,
we suggest to the State Centra) Commit
tee, soon to meet, tho propriety, of al
lowing all such counties another repre
sentative in addition to the one now al
lowed them' on being organized at all.
There is no precedent for this we grant,
but needs mast make - precedents, and
this measure ia eo manifestly just and
right that the Committee will be war
ranted in making such a rule.
STATE TEHFERANtE CONVENTION
This body met in Lincoln on Tuesday
last, the Rev. Mr. Manwell informs us.
Rev. Ira Billings made them a stirriug
address on tho good cause, and from
temperance to politics, in these days, is
but a step. The Convention thinking
that of all evils the politicians should
take hold of, intemperance is the most
pressing, after a long and able debate,
parsed a resolution declaring that they
would not support any candidates f.r
public offices this fall who were not Tem
perance men, and also that they would
hold another convention subsequent to
the regular State Nominating Conven
tion, and then and there select their men
from the best temperance men on either
ticket.
flRANT AND NOLDIERS.
It is charged by prominent opposition
papers in this State, that after all Grant
does nothing for the poor soldier. No
soldiers arc appointed to places ; while
we deprecate the principle t toto, cf re
warding men for simply doing their duty
it may be just as well to set this state
ment right, and show up more of the
foolish and inconsistent charges made
against this administration. In this
State alone, General Grant has appoint
ed to office a very large proportion of
soldiers (not officers alone) to places of
public trust. As Post Masters we have

It is a common remark that the south
will go for Greeley. Did you ever reflect
on the reason? Is it because thev like
him, or naturally choose him as their
champion ? Most emphatically it is not ;
but solely and only that they might by
he aid of disappointed Republicans
north, and the still powerful remnant of
Democracy once more obtain the con
trolling power in this gdVernment. For
twenty years or more they played this
game. The honest Democrats, them
selves, of tho north, had no voice in af
fairs. The south, arrogant and over
bearing, voted down all opposition and
carried their measures with a high hand
until they bred revolutions and almost
disunion. The verv Fame elements are
now at work. Let Greeley tucceed, and
once more the south is in power. Once
more the very same coalitions will govern
the country. Not the honest Democrat
of the north, not the Republican who
stood by this government in its darkest
hour, who will be called to administer
its laws and enforce its policy, but the
rank, rank rebel element of the south,
aided by every malcontent in the north.

II. W. Parker and Doctor Wilkinson

We make no doubt whatever, but that
a majority of the appointments in this
state could be shown to be soldiers
If the liberal party should succeed this
f.ll, and Greeley be elected, how many
soldiers think you would there be ap

a ticket on their high mightiness in this

they soldiers? Have they ever served
the country a day, or an hour, except at
good wages, in time of peace, in a safe
place ? and yet the Omaha Herald says
Grant . appoints no soldiers, let's have a
change.
Loo again at the absurdity of this
gasconade. With one breath Grant is a
tyrant, desiring military rule, making the
officers of his household assume military
pomp and rank, surrounding himself
with his brother officers', partial to ruili
tary men, Ac, the next, to catch another
vote, he is ungrateful to soldiers; does

Yes, we know Greeley will, and they
won't be soldiers, that's certain.

They are having hot times in Omaha

DEMOCRATS.
Good old fashioned and honest Demo
crats may suppose they are aiding the
old party by supporting Horace Greeley
this fall. Hear what the New York
World, the ablest of your Democratic
papers, 6ays :
'Mr. Greelev's nomination is fimnlv
ihe victi ry of the baser elements of the
Democratic party over its 'better ele
ments. Us is not elected to represent
any lt inocrutic principle but to give
place to Democratic politicians. '"
This is true. It is not honest Demo
crats that want Mr. Greeley ; but office
hunting politicians. No true Lemo
crat is bound to vote for him under
these circumstances.

Of course it must have been some of

Do they support him becau.se he is

gain the upper hand again, the south by
means of precisely the same old game
and the same old threats, would rule the
country as of yore, aud you, my poor
northern Democrat, would find yourself
powerless to stem the" current of affairs.
As for the so-called Liberal Republicans,
well, fancy can scarcely paint a more de

party of sore heads than they would be
six months after Horace became chief

despised by the new coalition, where 1

It is astonishing that almost two years

now slow ome people's consciences
are to prick them. They never feci the

insited on their cards being taken in and
by a coup de etat proposed to follow the

From Harper's Week'y.
"The party of re-action will not nroha-
b!y attract many German sunnorters.
Touched by the eloouenco of Senator
Schurz, and alarmed by the ideal crime.
which his vigorous fancy attributed to the
national government, the German nnnu-
lation was at first stirred with unusual
emotion, an i seemed prepared to rush
into an extreme of political action. It
would ally itself with the rebel faction
at the South, always its bitterest foe
and persecutor; it would join the Irish
Catholic and the 'Jesuit, the chief ene
mies of the Fatherland ; it would aid
any parly that would inflict dishonor
upon the President who had once saved
the Germans of Missouri and of Texas,
from the tyranny of the slave-holder.
and who had preserved for the German
emigrant the American Union. This
unaccountable impulse has, we believe,
in some measure passed away. The
fierce exultation exhibited by the Jesuit
faction in Germany and France when
they heard that the Germans of Ameri
ca were joining with the reactionists of
all kinds to thake the foundations of
freedo in in the New World may well
check the movement. The good sense
of our Teutonic population has sufficed
to stop them. They are not inclined to
enter upon new and dangerous courses.
And we trust a more generous sentiment
has aided in winning them back to the
safer paths ; that they had suddenly re
membered that when Germany was as
sailed in the "hot days of 1870 by the
chosen troops of France, and the male
dictions of the Pope and the council ;
when England looked on with doubtful
neutrality, and Austria and Denmark
with undisguised hope; when every
rebel in the South, every priest in the
North, prayed fervently for the destruc
tion of German unity and intelligence
the hand, of President Grant and his
Union administration was alone stretched
out to aid the kindred nation: that he
extended the limits of neutrality even
beyond it farthest bounds in order to
save the German population of France
from the rage of its foes, AH through
that hot and perilous summer the Ameri
can minuter at Paris aud the American
consuls in the various cities of France
were instructed by the President and bis
cabinet to aid the exiled Germans. The
offices of Mr. Washburce were thronged
incessantly with terrified groups seeking
his pas-ports to enable t he ui to escape
to the frontier. His assistants were
overpowered with applications for aid
and advice from the German population,
wiiicn were never refused ; the Ameri
can consuls have recently been publicly
thanked by tha Emperor William for
the services they so cheerfully rendered ;
and Mr. Washburne bears with the
French extremists the honorable appella
tion of "the Germs ii spy." It is not
likely, therefore, that our German popu
lation can be ko far deluded as to con
tinue much longer their alliance with
their real fog, their hostility to their
benefactors ."

a'oncrs be petitioned to call an election
at as early a day as the law will allow, in

maximum 01 toe law, to aia in me con
struction of the main line of the St
Louis and Nebraska Trunk Rail Road
said railroad to run through Rock Bluffs
precinct, and the company thereof to
build and maintain a passenger and
freight depot within one-ha'f mile 0
tbe i'ublio fcquare of the town of
Rock Bluffs.
B. S. Ramsey moved that a committee
of six be appointed to meet and confer
with the County Com missioned, on Mon
day, J uly 22d. The following gentlemen
were chosen said committee: Messrs
Gilmour, W aiker. Reed, Cutler, Clem-
mons ana liriaenstine.
