W neTer fight, my wife and I,
A other couple do.
Our little matrimonial sky
If of the brighten blue.

(My Study, I should ay). :
She tows I am the bejt of men.
But then she has her way I
Some wiTes are never pleased unites
They. wring from you a check,
Wherewith to buy some costly drees.
Or jewels for their neck.
Mw little witch ne'er asks from me
The value of a pin
She is so good and truo. yon see.
But then she keeps the tin 1
" Twas not !" "It was!" " It was 1" " 'Twae not!'
Thus ever scold and fight.
Full many a luckless pair, I wot.
From morning until night.
If e'er tee bare a word or two,
The skirmish toon is past.
These words, are mild and very few.
But then she ha the last.
VOTS OSTCS.
Wo do not say vote early and vote
often, but vote once and vote right. That
is the main thing, and no'inan who can
read, and think for himself, and who
is not trammeled by gross party preju
dices, can help tut vote for the true aitd
tried General ; the quiet and unassum
ing citizen ; the safe fiuancier ; the real
advocate of reform (because he and te
alone of all our Presidents proposed to
lo away with the patronage system,
while be was yet in oOcc, in power), and
the practical Statesman who does not
make speeches, but nevertheless im
presses foreign nations with our power
and majesty, so that justice, to the tune
of three millions and over its granted us,
and all our rights arc respected. This is
the man to vote for, and his name is
Ultsses S. Grant.
ELECTION EAT.
Readers, and friends, the time is close
upon us, when you wiil be called on to
decide the future of this country, for the
next four years, at all event''. If 3 0U
. think that the great Republican party
has managed the affairs of the country
well, if our taxes have been reduced,
and our finances well and truly taken
care of, then it is your duty te turn out
and vote for the nominee of that party.
That all this has been done, and more ;
that 00 the whole we never had more
eause for rojoicing, nor more security for
prosperous future, should the same
line of policy be continued, no thinking,
reading man can deny. - '
Remember that election day is not a
day toasted, but that it is a high and
solemn duty ; that U your expression 0
the way in which you want and demand
that this county shall be governed, of
the way your moneys shall be spent,' and
that in no other way can you influence
or affect the laws of your country, either
for good or for evil, but by the ballot.
Let us see one and all, then, anxious
to perform this duty of a free citzen on
Tuesday next.
T23 ISSUE.
It would be useless at this stage of the
game to call yosr attention to the candi
dates for whom you are to vote on next
Tuesday. Their qualities and their ca
pacties have been very fully discussed
through a long and acrimonious cam
paign. We simply urge every man to
vote. & a solemn duty, for the candi
date he thinks right and bet according
to the light he has in him.
1 remising that ail honest men, e
II
those truly interested in reform will
agree with as, that the first great desid-
eratum for reform must be an honest in
tention to reform. This the followers'of
Mr. Greeley cannot claim with aoy show
of fustice. because the fact is too well
established that tho real part' of reform,
the men who mciat to curb some evils
ot our present system, and of the Re
publican party were sold out and over
ruled by this faction that hoped by the
aid of Democratic votes to gain the pow
er and the patronage of this Govern
ment. Thii is and was the sole object
of the Greeley movement. The men
who inaugurated, and have carried it
through, are marked, they will never
appear above the surface in American
ClI E02A.C2 QEEELEY.
Wiea Hiller Tcld the Treti and Aleut
tie eel Tine.
After a careful research tho sole busi
ness that we can Sad or hear of wherein
the Editor of the Omaha Herald told
the truth or where he ever was a true,
prophet, wa3 in hid estimate of Horace
Greeley. YVe give him credit for grout
penetration and a singular acutencis in
discerning the real character of this man
Greeley, when nearly all the rest of the
world supposed him at least booest,
thougit unsafe an J cnatic as a leader.
In Miller's Herald of June 1808 he
said Mr. Greeley was, "the Veteran
rascal." In an issue of Ang. 4th, same
year, he said he was a "xcare crow and a
scoundrel." At different times during
that year, and the succeeding one, he
told his readers that Mr. Greeley this
Horace Greeley he now tells you to vote
for was a putty-faced old rascal,' an
ambling old sinner, a hypocrite, an un
mitigated falsifier. False to friends,
false to truth, tricked brained and rotten.
That all this ha turned out truu to
tho letter any one can see by reading the
followiug extracts all from the Trilune
4
Greeley's own paper.
They prove him all that Miller called
him, and it is seldom that a man is con
victed so completely out of . his own
mouth. That he is lthc Veteran rascal"
his tobacco dealing?, and the bargain
and sale to the Democrats by which he
was nominated at Cincinnati conclusive
ly prove. No other American ever had
the hardihood and effrontery to offer
himself as a candidate to a party of
whom he had said the fuliowing :
"Point where you please to an elec
tion distriet which you will pronounce
morally rotten given up iu great part
to debauchery and vice and that dis
trict will be found at every election giv
ing a largo majority for that which styles
itself the Democratic party. Take
all the haunts of debauchery in the land,
and you will find nine-tenths of their
master spirits active participants of the
same Democracy. M5' it be
written on my grave that I never was a
follower, and lived and died in nothing
its debtor."
The scare crow we all know about as
well as Dr. Miller, whether that is a
crime, we are not so certain. The Doc
tor seemed to think it was and coupled
it with scoundrel.
"Putty faced old rascal" In a letter
dated. June 8, 1ST I, Horace Greeley
said :
"That those who struggled and fought
for success generally believed that they
were right in so doing, I cannot doubt.
They propose to renew the fight,
but not with gun and saber. They ex
pect to regain, as Democrats, through
elections, the power thv;. lost as rebels
through war."
In a speech in Pittsburgh, September
19, 1S72, Horace Greeley said : -
"And now, to day, if the nation wa
lo hi imperilled, and there were just two
modes of saving it to trust to the
chances of civil war, or to the chances of
a free vote of the Southern people I
would very greatly prefer to take the
latter chance rather thau the former.'-
If that is not puttyfaced enough read
his Pittsburg speech and the one he
made a few days later taking it all back.
How well Milier must have known
him "Ambling old Sinner." '
In October 1SG7, he said :
fFrom the Tribune. Oct. 30, 1507.
This would amount to six in a bed,
exclusive of every other vermin, for ev
ery other Democratic couch in the
State of New York, including tlio.se of
Sing Sing and Auburn.
In Oct. 1S72 he advises us to turn the
government over to these Democrats
and becomes the candidate of these gen
tie men (?) from Sing Sing and Auburn.
"A Hypocrite" In KSG7 he told us
this :
From the N. Y. Tribune. Oct. 25th, 1&57.
To smoke i3 a Democratic virtue; to
chew is that virtue intensified ; to drink
is that virtue in the superlative.
In Oct. 1S72 he is the candidate of a
large portion of our own people who but
lately met in convention and pledged
to vote for no "Temperance men" for
office in the U. S. and his friends arc
denying his anti-temperance and anti
tobacco record, without one word of re
proof from him.
"An unmitigated Falsifier" To say
nothing of the lies he told about Demo
crats, any man whose epithets on those
who have not agreed with him liave
passed into proverbs needs no further
condemnation in this respect. Miller
knew this !
"Fake to friends, false to truth"
For years he has been known as the
most radical of Republicans, as the most
ardent advocate of protection, as the
bitterest hater of Democrats, and yet
to-day, false to all this, false to the party
that made him, to the friends that
helped him, he is the candidate of a
Democratic Convention, is cursiog the
Republican party, and must be silent on
protection.
'Wicked brained and rotten!" In
1SC2 he said the Democratic party was
the party
"which comprised all the most peiilous
elements in the country a party fo
which the dansrerous classes most natu
tally allotted them.-elves."
Read wh-t he has said at different
times of the men he is now associated
with and who are all supporting Horace
Greeley ad Reform :
"If apples are wormy this year, and
grapes mildew, and duck's egs addle,
and bladed corn be lodged, it may all be
asctibed to the unhallowed influence of
Mr. Tilton's Life of A ictoria Woodhull,
of which we give copious extracts in an
other place. It is certainly the mot ex
traordinary book ever written out ot
Red lam. Its nchiies of invention, its
naive ignorance, ana its innocent ini
morality cauc us to wonder whether the
vetran romancer, Paul de lvock, who
died lat week, did not amuse his fir.-t
leisure hours in the Spirit World by dic
tating this preposterous book to the ed
ltor of The Uohten, Aae." Tribune.

"Sunset Cox, who has been called in
to aid the siuking cause of the Democ

Ohio, on the late Presidential canvas.
He gloried in the name of Copperhead,
and .'aid it was a Copperhead that saved
the nation of Israel in the wilderness
alluding to the lifting up of the brazen
serpent in sight of the stricken people.
'Yes, but the Copperheads bit the na

subsided. Tt ibune, November 3, 1S65.

Those exertions saved Andrew Johnson

We c:u!d continue these extracts ad

The Press of the State are beginning
to see the point of the Omaha Hnald's
tirade against the Republican f party,

Setting aside the direct insult offered to
the person, if a Republican, to whom
such language is ad dressed, it is th
weakest, pilliest, and most ignorant style
of argument that an individual or a par
ty can use, aad bettays at once th
secret sore-headedness and animus of
both. The masses of the people ujui
be comparatively pure and virtuous, or
a Government of order cannot exist.
The moment the major portion of the
citizens of any locality become so utterly
corrupt and demoralized, as the Herald
would have us believe the people of this
S:ate are, that moment, all rule of au
thority, all government properly organ
ized would cea.-e. The people would run
riot iu anarchy, as they do at Paris, now
and then, or convert our towns and cities
into one vast "five pjints" of debase
meut, debauchery and lust.
This is the inevitable result whenever
the majority, the power, of a people
ceases to be thrown on the side of rieht
and virtue. We have not arrived at
anv such state of debasement in Ne
braska, and it is an insult to tell the peo
pie so. even if they did not see fit to
elect Mr. .Lett.
That Patent Cat.
The inventor of the patent cat exter

"I thiuk the convention would make
a fatal error iu nominating Greeley for
the Presidency. Instead of being the
strongest candidate that can be put for
ward, I regard him as the weakest. It
is not possible- for him to win the Ger-
uiau vote. He has been a Ujeioug lem

with the most uitra and unrea

The November Number of Harper's
Magazine closes the Forty-fifth Vol
ume a volume made up of contribu

of America and Kurope ; profusely il

an average of 75 engravings for each
Number; and including serials by Porte
Crayon, William Flagg, Emilo Castelar,
Anthony Trollope, Miss Thackeray, Chas.
Reade, and Wilkie Collins. Of a vol
ume so brilliant in all those features
which render a magazine attractive, the
November Number is a worthy conclu
sion. The Number opens with the sixth in
stallmeut of Porte Crayon's "Moun

From this article, the reader will natu

from the inception of the Joint High
Commi-sion up to the time of the dis
position of the Indirect Claims bv the
Arbitration Tribunal. It brings into the
strongest light the opprobrious conduct
of the Euglih pr o.-s ; shows how, from
the simple tolerance of the Indirect
Claims as a subject of arbitration, the
people aud the Government of England
were roused to tho point of a panic
stricken and indignant protest against
the submission of these claims to the
Tribunal ; and shows how our own Gov
ernment maintained throughout its dig
nity and its original position, and finally,
through the judgment ohe tribunal,
secured a Diplomatic triumph of greater
importance to the United states than
any pecuniary award could h-ive been,

' C-riou reports huve been made of
Madame Lucca's interviews wi;n the In
dian chiefs who have visited this city. j
It was understood that they were wil

to pay visits themselves. So the soug-
tres went with a party 01 inen-Js to
their hotel. Her de-ire to fee the Indi
ans seems to have had some connection
with "L" Afrieai ne," for when one of
the company, jososelv or otherwise,
asked her if she would be frightened,
she replied, "I am queen in 'L'Afri
eaine,' and have commanded many sava
ges; why should I be afraid of these ?"
And when "Afraid of the Hear ' made
his appearance, Lucca cried "AWiA

to have been pleasing to the red men, for
not long afterward thev returned the call
atthe residence of Madame Lucca Here,
having been refreshed by some excellent
wine, they weie induced to sing after the
custom of their trioe, in return for
which favor Madame Lucca, at the re

An Episoi-3 E. Q. Forgot to TelL
Every one who has been in Salt Lake
City, or in the far west, knows with
what recklessness the gamblers there
seize upon every opportunity to play a
practical joke. No dignity of character
or official place deter these desperate
uen from their fun. A preacher is iust
as likely to be a victim as the roughest
miner; and even the nominee of the
Dolly Varden gathering at Cincinnati
did not escape unscathed.
Ge rge Norris was a monte capper,
and was sojourning in Salt Like, at Johu
Wallace's gambling house, when Horace
Greeley came through, - on his overland
journey to California in 1839. A wagon
train had just arrived f rom the States,
and Norris went down to where they
ver corralled.
"I understand that there is a very fine
short card player among you, boys,"
said Norris, addressing the crowd hud

Hut at las-t he put up his last mule and

up in silence and dispersed. After
breakfast Norris sought the Missouri
corrail. "Look here, Pike, do you know
how you lost all them mules and money
for me last night?"
"I'll swear I don't how?"
"Do 3'ou know old Horace Greelej,
that's come here from New York ?"'
asked Norris.
"No ! who in thunder is he?"
"Well, he's an old sport that's come

Norris, with well dissembled sorrow.

to go with Norris.
"Now, you be quiet," soothingly put
in the capper, "and come where you was
last night. Him ami old Riigham, and
Proctor Rockwell, and old Bill Hickman

About ten o'clock that morning, every
available seat was occupied by the nu

Norris and Pike were on hand, th?latter
armed with the inevitable bowie knife
and six-shooter. Pretty soon the word
went from mouth to mouth : "there he
comes that's him!" Norris had his
mni in the right place "Do you see
