Watchman, July 20th. If the gentleman who has one thous and dollars to bet on this election in the manner stated above, will call at the Herald office he can find a taker. You can buy men's ehoes ( good) for $2 00 at the I'lattsmouth Shoe Store. apr4tf 0 A gentleman of the medical fraternity has left town. His P. O. address is ex pected hourly. Ask the Captain for it. We are very sorry to learn that Mr. Jas. II. Tucker, who resides upon the Weeping Water, was sun-struck on Fri day, the 1 2th, and at last accounts was in a very precarious situation. Every body came home last night, and a3 all the strangers dropped in at the same time, the town was full. The Daily f7o, Vol. 1, No. 2; Grant and Wilson, published at St. Louis, Mo., makes its appearance on our table to-day. It is of fine typographical ap pearance, sold its first paper for $30, cash, and bids fair to make a success in news- paperdnm.

Its name will be the Scandinav, and it will make a strong fight for Grant and Wilson and other straight republican, candidates. The fact that the publishers are Messrs. ohn Ahmanson and John Rath, and its ditor, Mr. John F. Walter, is sufficient guarantee that it will be an excellent publication. Tribune tfc Rep. The Grant & Wilson CluV met last evening, and transacted important buis nees. A room for "Headquarters" a band flag and other nice things are on the way, 'rah for Grant. We're going to hurrah any way. One thing a gener al elec'ion igocd for; it expandspeoples lungs.

A correspondent of the Methodist Protestant, trifles with sacred things af ter thi fashion : "I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines, er, about a very unpleasant habit, er, which feme of our good Meth odist brethren have, er, when they pray in public, er. It is adding a syllable to the last word in every sentence, er, which sounds very much like Er. Some times it is Ah or Ugh, and I have heard it sound like Nugh-hn. It is so strange they do not know it, er!" CLUBS. We don't want our head broke. There is no club wc go much on but the ace of clubs, anl it isn't worth anything if your opponent has the "shack." Just now, though, we should like to see that Greeley and Brown Club-roll. Wc de mand ocular demonstration of those 150 names, good bona fide residents of this place, who will vote for Greely and Brown. Send 'em in. We will print both rolls, that's the way to tell the story. By recent advices from Washington.it ha9 been found that the grand army of land jumpers had all their trouble for nothing. The claims entered by the original parties still hold good, and so that ends the matter. Those who have jumped on to some other man's land are now invited to jump off. Statesman. Question ' How long does it take a man to learfl German from the lips of a pretty girl, on the 4th of July, on the road to Weeping Water?" Answer If the young man has "moral courage" enough to enforce the prevail ing custom of that day, (collecting toll at the Bridges), we think it will take about "one more buggy ride."

The County Commissioners met to day, and after a long and tedious de bate and many representations pro and con from numbers of our citizens, they finally agreed to submit a Precinct pro position, as it is called, that is for the City of Plattsmouth and River Precincts to vote 10 per cent of their taxable pro perty for a Trunk Railroad to touch ccr tain points on the river. ihe amount that caa be voted this way is $127,000 and the proposition in full will be pub lished at an early day. iASS II AKOCXD.

They'll need a "cobbler" or two to soak the pegs in and a "heel tap," to wish the briae out of their vats. One case of sunstroke in Sioux City ast Saturday. A learned Judge J udge Jonah Jones, a western judicial dignitary, recently de- ivered the following charge to the jury, in the case of Elias Crunch, on trial for stealing : "Jury, you kin go out ; and don't show your ugly mugs here till you find a verdict of 'suieida in the ninth de gree and fourth verse.'" Then Judge Jooah Jones pronounced upon Crunch this sentence: "E!am Crunch, stand up and face the music. You are found guil ty of suicide for stealing. Now thiscourt sentences you to paj a fine of two shil ings , to shave your head with a bayo net in tho barracks; and it you try to cave in tho heads of any of the jury 3'ou'll catch thunder that's all. Your fate will be a warning to others. And in conclusion, may the Lord have mercy on onr soul 1 A large portion of our space to-day is necessarily given up to the publication of the Railroad Bond. Proposition, and other important legal matters. Our lo cal is therefore fliin. Keep cool, and to-morrow we'll make it hot again. We've the best story on M.

The daily Watchman, appeared upon. our table last night fori the first time. t is a five column neat looking sheet, supports (jrreeley & lirown, is a little Mtc'' y in its tone and is supposed by its ardent friends to be the crcme lecreme of news-papers. Its pretty large for a 'rag" anJ rather small for a newspapej. Business is business, but joking is oking and this thing is getting beyond a joke, we can't spoil a joke every day to explain how a joke hits a friend or when the laugh comes in. It is dull here and we must say things, laugh at them, thats the way we keep our courage up. Tbe Inllina Adopt the Insanity Xla. The Indians have adopted the emotion al insanity plea as an excuse for spontane ous homicide. Ono of them, when re cently arrested for. the murder and scalp ing of a few white men, being asked to account for his eccentric conduct, said. 'Me heap crazy. Me toi much crazy." This is like a Texan cattle dealer who threatened when he got to St. Louis he would kill his comrade. "Why not now ? asked a stranger crossing the Plains "Because they would hang me out here ; In St. Louis I can plead crazy." The Greeley and Brown men claim 124 names on their roll. We saw 124 names tEere, said to be voters in Plattsmouth. The Grant and Wilson men claim 160 names. Have a responsible man count them, gentlemen, or send the lists in to b piinted. PKR.SOXAL. Mr. Lloyd, of Mt. Pleasant, called on the Herald. Reports things lively on the divide. Rev. A. L. Foldeo, of 31 1. Pleasant, gave us a call to-day, and reports the Weeping Water country as beautiful as ever. S. B. Ilobson, of Mf. Pleasant, called at our office and left several "green picters," in exchange for Heralds. Mike Murphy has got home by him slf. It was reported that Mike had gone after Horace Greeley, but that's not so. Mr. John Eaton, the great well borer of the age came down from Lincoln yes terday. Paul Hill, our former agent of trans fer, is in town to-day, feeling fine as a fiddle, and only a little muquito bitten. Doctor A. L. Child has returned to his home, at Plattsmouth, from a visit Fast. He looks as if he meant Giant. How is it, Doctor? What are scissors worth in Platts mouth. The "Perhaps" needs a pair or two more. Axro Smith haa ripe tomatoes every Sty. ' - 20-3fc Our Greenwood Xetter. Greenwood, July 22d, 1872. Ed. Herald: Since I proposed to keep you posted in regard to our doings in this locality, I must do eo; but what un der the sun I am to write about, is more than I know at this moment. News is very scarce here. We are not surprised at Greeley's be ing nominated at Baltimore, and we are not surprised that all the bitterest "rebels in the land support him. The cry and try is "anything to beat Grant." Bat the joke is "anything" won't defeat Grant, and Greeley's being as near, not not any-thing, as any one they could get up, he can't defeat Grant. If I was as sure of heaven as Grant is of being re elected, I would never say another prayer. And Dr. Gen. Livingston, Esq., M. D., of Plattsmouth, will need two New York Herald Staleys, with two field glases and a microscope to find himself up the Nile defeat next Novem ber, and the Li-beral, Mongrell Stand ard-bearer will be further out in the cold than Dr. Hall, and his crew of north pole explorers. Some of the timid say it will be a close race. Net so. We will lick them out of their boots, next November I We are on the right track, and we are bound to go ahead. Now what bhall I say ? Not that the B. & M. R. R. officers are bad men. That would not do, for newspapers are afraid of them ; but I will tell you what we will do ; we will defeat the bonds for the Trunk road. It is not likely to go in the right place, an I because those who are to receive the most benefit pay tne least, and because we believe it to be branch of the U. P. or B. & M., or both combined; and because we have given half our lands to one company, and do not propose to give the other half to another ; and because we know if it is built to Nebraska City, or Otoe county's north line, we will get the road in the same place any way, and save our money to law them with when they fail to pay for right of way through our lands. Wo want railroads,, and we have to pay for or rides, when we take them, and we don't want to pay twice. Citi zens of Cass county, do you get any bet ter prices for your products now than you did before the B. & M. was built and if so, how much better? Is it enough to pay for your land and leave you to rent? I for one am down on railroads and railroad monopolies running everything. Now I have 6aid bad things enough expressed my opinion, feel easier, and will rest better for it to night. Crops are splendid. W e had a fine rain Friday night, and one Saturday night, which will insure a good corn crop enough forfood and fuel. Wheat, oats, barley and rye are niotly harvested, here. Now I must not forget to men tion that the Congregational church here is fast approaching completion. , Y'ours Truly, A'. B. 31. REMARKS. We publish a racy letter from A. B. 31., in this week s issue. W e wish to make a few remarks though, on some portions thereof. As regards the polit ical portions, the writer has probably been in the country as long as we have, and knows his men, so that is no business of ours. The idea that newspapers are afraid of railroads is a new one to us, though. Newspapers, like men, differ in opinion tn such matters, some holding out en couragement to railroads, and others not deeming them of any use. Railroad companies can start newspspers too, and run them, and of course we cannot pre vent that. For one, at least, the NeWaska Her ald owes no allegiance to any Railroad company, and more especially to the B. & 31. in Nebraska, whoso management in this county has been short sighted and unwise, to say the least of it, an 1 will result in Legislative measures by the people to protect themselves, next winter if we all live; but that its officers are bad men we could not say, not having the pleasure of their acquaintance. A. B. 31. may rest assured we are not afraid to say 60, however, when we see cause to stigmatize them as such. The Trunk road is a different affair, and under different management. No disposition has been shown, here or else where to imposa any burdens on any people not duly benefitted or consenting to the same by their own free will and votes. - Certainly this paper will never allow its columns to be used for this pur pose, rest assured., TITE FIRE IN NEBRASKA CITT. Latest accounts), X c. From the C. B. Republican we learn the particulars of the Nebraska City fire. This city was the scene of a disastrous conflagration last night. During a heavy storm about one o'clock a. ni. , the light ning struek the Telegraph wires on Ham Street tearing the lines and poles into fragments running thence into the offices occupied by the Midland Pacific R. R. and Great Western Telegraph Co. The building instantly took tire and before discovered had made such progress as to prevent an entrance being made: the of fice were in what is known as Seigle's building and were entirely consumed. The flames soon spread to the adjoining building'. The large and magnificent Morton Block, together with the Post Office, N. S Harding's book store, the Law office of G. B. icefield and James Tborne, the Photograph Gallery of Dr. A. 31. Smith, and A. J. Harding's In surance office were all de-troyed. The fire was first discovered by Mr. Seigle, who slept on the first floor of bis build :?:g, and who wa awakened by coals falling on hiiu from above. The Midland Pacific lost all their books and papers. 'I he mail ic the Po.t Office was saved. The flames were extinguish ed at 4 a. m.. by a heavy fall of rain, the fire engine having been disabled ear lv in the season. Thf Eating House and Depot of the C. B. & St. Joe R R. at Hamburg was struck at abut the same time, and the building mentioned totally ernsTised. TELEGRAPHIC. Grand Island, July 23. ine poay ot a man named cady was found in the Loupe Fork, opposite this place, shot and stabbed. New York, July 23. the Herald s asnmgton trleram says dispatches were sent from cL Louis last night to the President and members of the Cabinet requesting an authoritative denial of Senator Schurz's assertion that he was approached with offers of patron age to support the San Domingo scheme and that a hill and authorized contradic tion of the Senator's story is promised by the Presidents friends as soon as the:r present knowledge is reconfirmed by his arrival lrom Jjong .branch. Senator Conkling this evening address ed a large and enthusiastic lie publican meeting at Cooper Institute on "Grant and his defamers." Tho hall was hand sonielv decorated. Jackson S. Schultz presided. S. T. Streeter resigns from the Liber al Republican and will support Grant. Tom Murphy writes from Long Branch that he believes President Grant him self paid for his seaside cottage ; that he (Murphy) did not contribute .any thing towards it, at any rate. The Tribune denies the stories pub lished in some Republican papers that Greeley ever conferred with Seymour re lative to selecting any one for offices; that he ever desired any one to get up meetings for him, or that he ever asked any body to try to get him nominated to tho Presidency. Williamsport, Pa., July 23. The riot is suppressed. Eight hun dred militia, under General Merrill, ar rived this "morning and arrested four of the leaders of the movement. Chicago, July 19. The republicans opened the campaign this evening by an immense enthusiastic open air meeting in 31arket street, pre ceded by a national salute. Ex-3Iayor Rice presided. (jcneral Ugiesby reviewed the history of the Republican party. D. W. 3Iunn. of Cairo, 6aid the Cin cinnati party was so liberal that it would give awav all that it achieved by the grand old Republican organization. He protested against seeing again in Lon- -i.a gross men who desolated the eoutn in the vain hope to fouud a Southern Confederacy. In response to calls, Ucneral lieveridge discussed the political situation until nearly midn:ght, being attentively listen ed to. New York, July 20. The Democrat and Abend Zeituncr, both liberal republican, came out for Grant to-day. A Herald dispatch says the accident on the N. Y. Central railroad, yesterday presented a scene which beggered des cription. 1 he occupants of the smok ing car to which the loss of life was con fined, were fastened, and were pleading for help in a way that wassickening. Indianapo.is, July 20. Senator Henry Wilson will fpend a week in Indiana, commcncinc at R.ich- mond, August 22d. Salt Lake, July 22. Gen. John A. Logan this evening ad dressed a large and enthusiastic au dience on the political situation. Liber al Institute was crowded to its utmost capacity. We learn that Dr. Chapman has sent out three bills in the past week, in the way of jobbing. 17wtf A letter from an, old fashioned gen tleman, and the programme of the 31 1. Pleasant Sunday School Institute, are on file, but we could not get them in this week the igilroad matter crowding us for space. Ihe Sabbath School Insti tute is on the 231 and 24th of August, and we have time enough yet. TEMPERANCE FLATFORM. Recognizing intemperance as the most aggravated evil of the time, causing great er destruction of life and prosperity than all other evils combined ; we, the tem perance people of the State of Nebraska, as.embled in Lincoln, this 17th day of July, adopt th9 following platform : Whereas, The trafic in intoxicating drinks greatly impairs the personal secur ity and liberty of our citizens, renders private property insecure, and imposes an oppressive burden and unjust tax up on the people ; and Wkerkas, Protection arJ allegiance are reciprocal-duties, and every citizen who yields obedience to the just com mands of the Government, is entitled to the free, full and perfect protection of that Government in all the enjoyments of personal security, personal liberty and private property ; and Whereas, There can be no greater peril to the Nation than the existing party competition for the liquor vote ; that any party not openly opposed to the trafic, wiM in this manner court the favor of the criminal classes, barter away the public morals corrupt the purity of the ballot,' and undermine every object of good government worthy of party suc cess; therefore Resolved, That as a prerequisite to our supporting either of the political parlies of the State, we demand an unequivocal recognition of our temperance principles as embodied in what is known as the Ohio Law, and the nomination of tem perance men: in default of which we will nominate at our coming convention can didates out of either or both parties, or if necessary new men, for a regular State Temperance ticket; and Resolved, That whatever may have been the excuse of temperance men hitherto for adhering to their political parties irrespective of temperance senti mcnts, such excuses are now highly cul rablo; as tho time has fully come for united, presistant an J determined action on the part of all tempeaance men for the purpose of utterly obliterating the traffic in intoxicating drinks and thus destroying the greatest enemy of man kind. ResoveJ, That while adopting political measures for th prohibition of the liqu or trafic, we will still continue the use of all moral measures in our power to per suade men to abandon the injurious prac tiTe of using in'oxicatirg drinks. Respectfully submitted. Ira C. Billjlax, D. W. Scott, H. E. Ellison, J. 31. Taggart. Dr. G. B. Chapman's flavoring ex tracts are not excelled. For selc, whole sale and retail. 17wtf Dr. G. B. Chapman is now agent for Saint Louis Enameled Paints. The farmer's favorite. 17wtf Fred. Douglas states that he ha the highest personal regard for Horace Gree ley, but cannot support him for Presi dent! because "he has united his fortune with a nartv rinsed nnnn nercnnal criev- ances, and not upon broad grounds of aationAl Gocd. "-(?. Jt, XorptreiK LOGAN. Col. Cropscy, of Lincoln, was to Bpeak here Friday night, but by letter we learn that John A. Logan will speak in Lin coln on that evening, and therefore Col. Cropsey's time for fpcaking here has been postponed. It h probable that Gen. Logan will fpeak in Plattsmouth, after his Lincoln speech, on Friday next. Greeley has been to Long Branch and there is now no hope of his election. Tbe Democrats will not vote for a man given to "sea-side lounging,", and to sporting with the surfs. Not much. Council Bluffs Nonpareil Does Adams of Tekama say he sold "them 'ar" two votes, whose' Were they, can he get Hilton to say Adams eOld Lim?
