Listen Greeleyites and Hrowultee.
Unto you we loudly sing:
The course which you are taking
We think is not the thine-
Ob, you Democrats and Liberals.
Your graves we're d Urging deep.
We'll let yon down in solitude
With old II. G. to sleep.
We will gire three groans for Greeley,
And three for B. Gratt Brown :
And we'll shout for Grant and Wilson.
As we drop your coffin's down.
Wo will tcrape the dirt upon you.
And leave you there to slumber ;
And lo dream of your disaster
On the fifth day of November.
Yes. for U. S. Grant and Wilson.
We propose to lend a hand :
We believe the honored soldier
To be an honest man.
Vote for him who fought our battles
Oa many a bloody field ;
The inflexible Ulysses
Who was never known to yield.
Once we've trusted, ocoe we've triad him.
And we did not trust in vain;
And the fifth day of November.
We ore going to trist again
Then adieu to yon. old Horace.
And to you. old Gratzy Brown;
On the fifth of next November.
You will haul your colors down.

rc -states that Horace Greeley is an hon-
est man, a very honest man, almost tne
only honest man we have now-a-days,
next to the Col. himself ), the ereme la
crane of honesty, in the face and eyes of
the fact that this same Horace Greeley
wrote these things :
From the N. Y. Tribune. October C5. 1867.
To smoke is a Democratic virtue ; ' to
chew is that virtue intensified ; tt drink
is that virtue in the superlative.
f From the Tribune. October 30. 1367.
This would amount to six in a bed, ex
clusive of every other vermin, for every
Democratic coucn in tne state oi ew
York, including those of Sing Sing and
Auburn.
Or, who said that "not every Demo
crat was a horse thief, but thut every
horse thief was Bure to be a Detnscrat."
Or that "the fewer the school houses
the thicker the Democrats," and "the
less a man knew the more certain he was
to vote the Democratic ticket from A to
Izzard." This is the fame Horace
Greeley who is now "clasping hands
across the bloody chasm the fanre
Horace who is the nominee and the can
didate of these men whom he called
horse thieves, liars, ignorant vermin,
State prison birds, and so on. Is this
honest? Can this be the action of an
honest man? We leave thinking men
to judge, nn i if it be urged that he is not
so vile, but only the candidate of these
vile men, (as he has told us), we reply
that the "fountain cannot rise higher
than the source,' and if he is elected
by the votes of the class lie called Demo
crats he will have to conform to their
ideas of right, and justice, and truth,
and by his own words they can have
none of either of these virtues. Hon

Sir: When Diogenes, the Grecian

of Myndas, where he had been hospita
bly entertained, he was asked for a bit
of advice as a parting present. Noticing
that the city gate was very wide, he
said, "O, Myndians, keep your gate
shut or your city will run out !"

Tr;. -c over the Coutinent

less, save in Russia and Home. Liber
ty of locomotion had opened many a
jealous gate. Steam, on land and sea,
rendering locomotion switt, saie, com
fortable and cheap, beyond the dreams
of past ages, had opened all old gates
wider and made new ones. A iole was
broken through the wall of fVurelian
round Rome to let the cars enter the
Eternal City.
The Irish famine, the Continental rev
olutions of '43, the gold discortTies in
California, the demand for laborers on
American canal, railroads, rcanafactor
ies, and lands, have each broke the bolts
and the ban of the gates in soma trans
atlantic wall.
But nothing his so roused the Euro
pean millions of all classes to burst
asunder the gates that hemmed them in
as the tidings of the New Hf, its free
farms, no less for the stranger than the
native, with railroads ruuning among
them in advance c f settlements. Hence,
even in Nebraska, in the very centre of
the conUnent, witnin three years after
it became a State, there were settled
thirty thousand immigrants, represent
ing almost every corner of the world,
except Greece and Portugal.
Tiding of iertile lands near railroads,
free to all who will take them, seemed
incredible to those who had been wont
to view every landowner with awful rev
erence. Accordingly some gates began
to close again. But they will open
wider than ever, for those tidings are
certified as truthful by the United States
Commissioner of the General Land Of
fice, Washington, in an official naper of
sixteen pages, "prepared" in his own
words, "for the information of foreign
ers seeking a home in the United States.
Wherever this official document,
which is published in many tongues,
shall be read, its plain tale of truth will
make Old Worldlings feel themselves
imprisoned till they escape from the
gates by which they have been confined.
At the census of 1870, the persons
born abroad but resident in the United
States were more than five and a half
millions (5,Gf0.546). U hat an Exodus !
Uow many gates must have spread
their jaws to the widest to let out, with
in a generation, these peaceful erusaders
a host many times more numerous
than combined Europe could send in
centuries to Palestine. These immi
grants have made their own way to the
new West, while the medieval soldiers
reached the old Eat only through tax
ing to the utmo.-t the public resources.
Nothing is now pushing open Euro
pean gates faster than the exemption

On Sunday, August 25th, Bishop
Clarkson consecrated St. Stephen's
Church, Silver Creek, Nebraska, a name

Philadelphia. This little church has
been a long time io building, but is now
fully completed, out of debt, beautifully
appropriate in all its arrangements, and
now has been solemnly consecrated to
the service of Almighty God. Two of the
missionaries on the lino of the Pacific
railroad, the llev. Messrs. Kippey and
Lyon, gave up their services for the day,
aud brought with them some of their
people to unite with the Rev. Mr. Shaw
and the bishop in the consecration. It
was a delightful service, even though
tho thermometer touchnd 100. After
the morning service was over, the clergy
and visitors were invited to the hospita
ble and ceuifortable turf cabin of the
Rev. Mr. Shaw, the bachelor missionary.
There we found spread under an extem
porized arbor a most inviting collation,
and over fifty guests were as satisfacto
rily entertained as they could have been
iu a great Eastern hotel.
We are glad to hear that the "Bach

'turf-cabin." How goes it, Bro. Shaw,

Referring to the IlerabI, Mr. E. E.
Cunningham's Plattsmouth paper a-ks:
"When did it ever tell the truth?"
The ready answer is, when it charged
that Surveyor General Cunnincham stip
ulated with a certain U. S. Deputy Sur-'
veyor to receive, and did receive, from
one-third to one-half the gross amount
of a double contract for surveying, as a
consideration for letting said contract.

Thajik you, sir ! We have got you at
last. For once you have answered a
question, by making a plain, straightfor
ward statement. How do you feel? Is
there a comet comine, or what is about
to happen ? Now would you be so kind,
please, Mr. IleralJ, if this dou't strike
in and hurt, or anything, would 3ou just
answer one more question ? While your
hand is in it'll come easier, and before
you drop back into the old habit of ly
ing and prevarication, please answer one
question that this paper, "the little con
cern down in Plattsmouth," you know,
asked some months ago.
question,
The name of that Deputy Surveyor who
paid Gen. Cunningham one-third or one
half, or any sum for a contract?
Until you answer this as fairly and
as squarely as the other question, about
your ever telling the truth, we shall
take no further notice of any insinua
tions about the matter. We don't want
you to squirm out nor wriggle away on
some one else's authority. You have
for once left the "I Believe, &c" out,
and stated fairly that Gen. Cunningham
did receive said sum and so on. We de
mand the proof, now, as before, weeks
ago, when you first insinuated the
charge. We want the name of the
Deputy, the time, the place, and the
amount of money paid.
The little concern down at Plattsmouth
awaits the reply of the august Herald.

the same Democracy. May it be
written on my grave that I never was a
follower, and lived and died in nothing

And yet Colonel (?) Warner says he
is an honest man par exellence, an hon

General Garfield has to-day had the
first opportunity of 6eeing the charges
connecting iiis name wun receivmg
hares of the Credit Mobiier from Oakes
Ames. He authorizes the statement
that he never subscribed tor a single
hare of that stock, and that he never
received or saw a share of it. hen
the company was first formed, George
rancis Jrain. then active in it, came to
Washinston and exhibited a list of sub

Members of Congress to the stock oi the

company, ibe suoscnption was sub
scribed as a popular one of one thou
sand dollars cash. I ram urged Ueneral
Garfield to subscribe on two occasions,
and each time he declined. Consequent-
v he was azain informed that the list
was nearlv completed, but that a chance
remained for him to subscribe, when he
again dec'ined, and to this day has not
subscribed or received any share, stock
or bond of the company. It is well
known here that under the Durant
reigme it was claimed by Durant tfbd
George Francis Train Train that some
six hundred thousand dollars of the
company's money was used in Wash
ington, but when the company attempt
ed to obtain vouchers and names of par
ies to whom payments had been m3de.

the very vague and unsatisfactory state

All the world is wondering at the
ability of France to pay the three mill
iard francs that was just needed to pay
the part of the war claim of Prussia,
recently due. The Paris Univers says:
Three milliard francs would weigh, m
J, eleven hundred tons, lo coin this
uui at the rate of twenty francs a second,
would take five years. It would require
ten long freight trains to trausport it to
russia, ana a man walking rouna tne
world twenty-five thousand miles
might drop two louis-d"or (forty francs)
at each step, and he would have many
left on his return." And yet in three
ays after this loan was advertised,
twelve times the amount wanted was
ffered. Tho. amount asked by Presi
dent Thiers wa 3.400.000,000 francs or
about $680, 000, 000- of our money. The
mount tendered, or actually arged on
the government, was 41.641,000,000
francs. J he largest sum r ranee ever
ried to raise before was 750.000,000
rancs. This was during the Crimean
war. u: tnis amount oniy oU-,wv,wu
francs were subscribed. It looks as if
capitalists had faith in the French re
public, the f.mpire could not realize
half what it wanted, but the Republic
is offered twelve times the amount it
asks for. Prairie Farmer.

The Omaha Herald is up to its nsua
tricks. It charges that Jno. M. Thayer,
Sam. Brown, and a number of other re
spcctable business men of Omaha gave
snms of from $200 to $300 towards a
corruption fund, in order to save their
darling Capital, Omaha. Now, there is
not one particle of proof to show that
CoL Furnas received this money.- These
gentlemen paid their little old $200's
and $300's, no doubt, but by the Her
ald's own record they did not know to
whom the money was to go, "nor who
was to be bought ;" and now the Her
ald assumes that the man was Col. Fur
nuas. Why does not J. M. Thayer or
Sam. Brown, on whom the Herald con
tinually cries, come forward and ttate
that CoL Furnas received tho money ?
Because they do not desire to tell a false
hood and they do not know that Furnas
received the money.
Bnt we know and the world knows
that the same $3,000 or $6,000 that was
raised, was paid into the hands of two
Democrats, unscrupulous partizans and
sharp, shrewd men. Who they paid it
to has never transpired. It might have
been Miller, for all we know.

ABUSES CITIZENS.
From the Lincoln Jvumal.
If there is anything upon which the
Statesman can pride itself as being con
sistent in its whole career, it is its persist
ent attempt to befoul the city of Lincoln
by its low-lived abuae of its prominent
eitizens.
It so happens that Mr. J. J. Gosper
is the only Lincoln man nominated for a
State office proper on the Republican
tiokeL On this account tba Statesman
with its usual pusillanimity, repeats its
old and stale "did or did not Mr. Gos
per," etc.
We have just one word to say with
reference to its cowardly attempts to
blacken the character of an industrious,
intelligent, and public spirited citizen
like Mr. Gosper, without haying the
manhood to make charges against him.
We will bind ourselves to prove the
man, whoever he is, that dare say cate
gorically against Mr. Gosper what the
Statesman sneakingly insinuates, a liar
within 43 hours after such charges are
made, and we will prove him so by the
records-
We will prove that he lies in general,
and that he lies particularly in every
specification that is insinuated.
We will take particular pleasure in ac
complishing this easy task as soon as
any man or any newspaper has the
"sand" to give us occasion to do it.
Until such charges are made, we have
nothing to offer, and fehall not even
waste our contempt upon a mode of at
tack that the most abandoned "yaller
dog" in the land would be ashamed of,
as soon as he had emerged from his nrst
month of purpy-hood.
This meets our views. If any man,
or any candidate is proven to be corrupt
and a thief no good Republican desires
to support him, but just so long as these
matters are confined to asking "perpen
dicular questions" and tomfoolery gen
erally they are not worthy of notice.
Asking questions proves nothing.
charging proves nothing, and only de
bauches the people. The very words
themselves, of crime, have lost their
force iu this State by the foolish and
reprehensible practice of newspaper
charges against well known and upright
citizens. Give us some proof that the
men you denounce arc so corrupt, oh
reformers !
The Libs, ia Texas.
The Liberals in Texas don't like the
treatment they have received from the
Democrats. The latter took all the
nominations, and to the Liberal growls
the Galveston Aretr a coolly replies: "A
Texas Democrat is privileged to take
ust as much ot the Republican party as
he pleases, and we propose to take Gree
ley and xirown. in Illinois ana some
other States neither the Liberals nor the
Democrats can elect their men, therefore
they join teams, and each elects a part.
But in lexas the Liberals ask bait tbe
places where they have nothing to give.
heir votes are not necessary to tbe
Democrats at all."
Jci9 Governor EcFma2.
"Eli Perkins," at Saratoga, gives the
bllowing dialogue :
Mr. B. F. Beekman, the banker, busi-
ncss and rauroaa millionaire, ana tne
great Christian who raised $300,000 to
buy iMornseey s club house, last summer,
for the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, had a talk with the Governor' yes
terday. Mr. Beekman end be bad voted the
Democratic ticket, and that he had fol-
owed the party over pretty rough roads,
but he didn't see how he could vote for
such a shuffling old woman as Greeley.

child at the head, why, business men

"But. interrupted the Governor, 1

of men. I think he can pick out an
honest man or a knave as quick as any
one- I "
"Why. there 13 where he is always

"Never mind." said the Governor, 'I
would take his opinion on a man to be

in the country.
"You would T asked JHr. Ueekercra,
feeling in a side pocket.

firmly.
"Well, here is a little slip where he
calls you a mountebank and a corrupt.
dishonest and swindling IJemocratic vil
lain, said Mr. Beekman, as he handed
an old Tribune editorial to the Governor,
The Governor read it over twice, then
looked as if he was trying to see straight
through Mr. Beekman. a row of car
riages, and a two foot brick partition
then he clammed on his hat aud went up
stairs.
The Democracy have given up Penn
sylvania. The Pittsburg Courier says
that three weeks azo the supporters of
Buckaiew, for Governor, were looking
for bets on his election. Now, bets on
Hartranft find no takers, and bets on
Greeley are a.s much out of the question
as the Plantamour comet.
