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.

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.

that John A. Logan will speak in Lin

It h probable that Gen. Logan will

Greeley has been to Long Branch
and there is now no hope of his election.
