Part of Ilolbrook's Arizona expedi
tion have started and are in catup near
Pueblo, awaiting thebalar.ee of the tar

The party numbers fifty men, hare a
printing press and a full outfit for start
ing a new town in the diamond district.

The cold rain (Jt the last few days
have cleared the streets qf Chicago of
horses. Scarcely a team is to be ?een ;
brogans and tight boots, kid slippers
and prunello gaiters are all afoot this
. morning.

Last fumner we had a gate that cer
Uinly shrunk so much it swunr clear ofl
the post by a good inch and a half. The
little 8pi3 catch would not meet the
lot that held it bv half an inch. We
beeame so annoyed at its swinging that
we concluded to fix an old fashioned
weight and chain to hold it shut. Just
about then eatue a rain, and behold?
our gate will hardly shut at all now.
How did it swell bo?. Do the boards of
the fence shrink and swell endwise, and
if eo at which end do they begin, and
bow do the posts get along while they are
p-ished this way and that? We have a
door closed by a button. In dry weath
er this button would not touch the wall
post by nearly an inch. Now it laps way
over. Does the button swell towards
.U J nnr.U
- iL , c , j , I
nailed on the studding and docs the
whole little room swell up, smaller, with
wet weather and dry bigger with clear
weather? Seriously, the dryness of the
atmosphere in NeLra-ka, and the singu
lar effect it has on wooden structures
and wooden vessels is something re
markable. It was very noticeable when we first
came to Nebraska, from a seaboard
State, but like everything else daily pass
ing before us, we fail to notice it now ;
but there is a vast difference between
this country and one bordering on a laige
lake or -on the sea. Before we came
here we could search believe in a piece
of lumber shrinking perceptibly, length
wise. A common wooden bucket never
fell to pieces if used around a stable or
the house, and wet every day. Hire
one must keep water standing in the t est
wooden pails, in July and August.
We never saw the spokes of a wagon
wheel get loose in the head. Here the
beat 4'Schutler" or the primest wooden
hubbed buggy wheel shows the exhaust
ive nature of atmosphere when a dry
south wind blows for days.
In short, we do not lack for sufficient
rain now-a-days to make crops grow,
but the air will suck out and d. y up every
vestige of moisture from anything ww id
ea more effectually than in any country
we wot of East of here.

Hon. John Taffe, heretofore requested
through the press of the State, the num
ber of voter3 Registered in the various
counties, and an estimate of the resi
dents who could have registered, had
they been in the State long enough.
lie informs us that very little has yet
been rxceived. on the sub ject, und in
some cases the estimate has been entirely
omitted.
As this is an important matter, we
make another earnest appeal to county
clerks and others, to farwatd the infor
mation. The registration and estimate for the
November election would be preferred,
for an obvious reason. TV iLune and Re
publican. That's right, Mr. John Taff. ' We
ahould like to know the Reiti-tration
0urselve3, and the Press of the State
would gladly furnish you the information
if we could get it ourselves. We have
repeatedly asked for the lists, and that
they be 6ent to us to publish as the laws
direct. In this county never a list out
tide of Plattsmouth city and precinct
has ever been published at all this elec
tion, and only about half the llri-trars
here have sent in proper lists a: the right
times. On the November election but
one single Registrar has performed his
dut7 and sent in a true list. That man
i Capt. Wiles. We don't f uprose the
County Clerk knows any more about the
business than you do Hon. Mr. Taffe,
and for our part we are tired of seeing
and having laws on our Statute books,
that are never enforced or complied
with. Either sweep them off or act up
to them. wm m

One day last week we received a news
paper amongst our exchanges with this
very tnodjst '"request:"
"Editors receiving this number of the
Weefcfy, who in any maimer' notice its
contents, will greatly oblige us by tend
ing the papers containing the notice."
The paper is the celebrated 44 Wood
hull & Cloflina WeMy," and it is our
private opinion that they need not ask
it to be "noticed in any manner" for it
is pretty likely to be very effectually uo
ticed by all the Press of the land, and
if the editors and proprietors do not re
ceive the unfriendly notice of some offi
cers of the law before many days wc
mie-aour guess.
In their Prospectus the reasons for
their su-petisi m last June are gwen,
and according to Wood hull it was not so
much the want of fund as the per.-i-cu-tion
she had to endure on account of Iit
free love doctrines that "wore her out."
She complains thai they would not ad
mit lit r to any of the first-class hotels
in New York, on account of those opin
ions of hers, while thy admitted gen
tlemen of known lewd habits and
practices.'
Claflin has an opening editorial in
which she relates many things that our
typos would b!u-h lo sot up, and among
others, relates the story of what U S
Congressman do while in N w York
that proves both our M. C.s to he very
queer kind of men and J Tetmie C.
CK'flin to have held singular conversa
tions with such gentlemeu (for a Miss)
to say the h ast of it.
Wood hull then branches out and gives
us a feaiful description of. immorality in
high places, giving a l ing and detailed
statement of the infidelities of . Henry
Ward Uee'cher, the gnat Plymouth
Chyrch preacher, and the wife of the
editor of the the Gulden Age newspa
per, Theodore Tilton.
She says Beechi-r preaches to twenty
of his "mistresses" every Sunday, and
that Tilton is her pupil and almost a
convert to her theories.
After giving all these facts, she quotes
a letter from Lauia Cuppy Smith which
ends as follows :
44 The same evening I was conversing
with J' H. litft'kwith, a prominent law
3'er of Ltn-tt", who remarked that there
seemed to him to be a retribution fiHow
ig the Beecher., and that yon, (mean
ing Woodhull) could Use he same v n
dieation of your expose of IJeeeher that
Mrs. Stowe anil her family had used in
her defence with re cat J to the Byron
affair with this ad lit on. that you had
not aem.-ed the living, who could defend
thfiosflve--, of half so ha- a crime as
she laid to the charge of the dead, who
could Lot reply.'"
She toen iroes for a Mr. Challis. a
broker in No'jle street, mid gives him
"Hail Columby" for sedueine two fifiecn
year old girls, and winds up her editoii

WOODHULL & CLAFLIN ARilESTFD.
Since writing the above, th telegraph
informs tis thai these Mesdames have
both been arre-ted for slander, for send
ing obscene publications through the
mails, and for libelling everybody in
general.
We supposed it would com to this
complexion at 1 .-t, a-.d now we hope the
fiec love, woman's rights, humid to vote
furore, as preached and piactiecd by Vie
Woodhuli and her cnuir-eers will com
to an end. S pirit ualism, woman's rights,
universal !-uffrai. as they givn it, means
simply to live in lust an I run riot i i de
bauchery. The v-ry words of the ar

The immigration commissioners of
Nebraska propose to gtt printed another
pamphlet and map of the iState 20.000
copies. But we would suggest that as
theU. P. and B. & M., and the Mid
land Pacific railroads are doing" a very
merit!rious work advet rising their owti
lands and those of the State in this way,
it would be more to the inteie-t of our
citizens to have the Board of Immigra
tion sub-cribe for a bun Iredpopies of
the weekly newspapers each, published
in the itafe, to be scattered wherever we
desire to influence immigration. This
would stimulate our new.-paper men to
give the world more local information;
would en ouing(j the press to woik in
behalf of immiarati ti ; persons abroa i
who are looting to the West as their fu
ture home, would read a Nebraska paper
carefully, who consider pamphlets n land
-wiile a. id personal cheat. The news
papers of every other new State are
seen and rea l abroad. Nobody com
paratively sends ours. Let's try the ex
periment Xncx.

New York, November 2.
Victoria C. Wood hud was arrestod
this morning on a warrant sued out by
A. M. Chaiiis, changing gross; libel.
Warrants were al-o issued against. Wood
huil and her partner in business, on com
plaint of other parties on a like charge.
Mesdames Woodhud & Claflin were also
arrested by the U. S. Mnshal, on charge
of sending obscene publications through
the mails, while they were iu a carnage
preparing for flight with copie.s)f their
I uolications in the vehicle with them.
On t-eiug brought before the U. S. Com
missioner, the assistant district attorney
charged that they were also guilty of
libeling people ah over the county. The
commissioner decided to admit the ac
cused to bail in the sum of $8,000 eacli,
hut no bail being furnished they were
sent to Ludlow street j ail.
They manifested their usual boldness
and de-canted on tho way to prison on
the outrage of their arrest and confine
ment over Sunday. They insisted upon
suitable apartments at the Ludlow street
jail.
This afternoon, upon a warrant issued
bv Mayor Hall, seizure was made of the
establishments of Woodhull and ClafHin,
together with books, furniture, and so
much of the edition of publication as
was found. Mr. Chain's has also caused
the arre.t if the so-called Colonel Blood,
charged with being au accomplice, also
Denies, the stereotyper, and Smith, the
pi inter of the scandalizing taper. The
Statutory penalty for sending obscene
hteiat.ue through the mail, is imprison
ment for one year and five hundred dol
