TO GRANGERS Please notice a letter from the Chair man of "Senate Transportation Com mittee" sent lis by Win. B. Porter, State Grange Master. Mr. Porter thinks it would be a go-nl time for a3 many of the different Masters of Gran ges as canto meet at the State Fair and talk over this matter of cheap transportation and decide oa the needs nnd wants of Nebraska in the matter. All will want to be at the Fair any way, and a meeting can be held there at less expense than by any other i method. PRESIDENT GRANT SATES A LADY'S LIFE. On Friday last, at Long Branch, a pair cf horses, attached to a plueton, took fright and ran away. The pha ton contained a' Miss Martin, brother, and n friend. The President being iiear, in his carriage, pursued and over took them, and with the assistance of a Mr. Hoey, succeeded in stopping the horses, .and rescuing the lady from the remains of the scattered carriage. The gentlemen in the carriage were some what injured, but not seriously. Their most grateful thanks were ten dered the 1-resideut for the intrepid act which doubtless saved their lives. ON COUNTY FAIRS. We publish with with great pleasure a readable and sensible letter from Bro. John Mutz, on County Fair mat ters, and id vise all hands to read it. In regard to the premiums offered for different animals, or for different accomplishments, people will always differ, and it is universally a source of thronis complaint. The man wrapped up in raising horses want.s the biggest premiums on horses; the one great on fine Berkshire's never thinks the Com mittee gives enough for hogs; and the , - -r-v in. r . r . ...... xjuruam or uevon caiuu itiisa is &uie that the pigs and chickens get it alL Worse yet, the ladies say their traps do hot receive anything but diplomas, yet the men are all ready enough to eat them, and would do but little at rais ing fine cattle, hog3 or horses were it XkOt for ttreir art in the cooking line. So great a nuisance have such com plaints about premiums at County Pairs become, that many of our best iiinn onrl T-wf tvl 1 d rfc 1in!'. will 71 C it" serve, just because they refuse to be "eusseu" bv everybody. Row, citizenrf, you must all have pa tience on these matters and unless the committee make glaring errors take it "eooly. Attend the meetings a3 Mr. Mutz advises, and give your counsel and advice next year, and maybe it will be better. The Fremont Tribune, organ of the Grand Master Granger of Nebraska, says : lion. "Mulo" Johnson, of Castle of American Fanners and Mechanics, is pnes his proclamation against Grand Master Porter, of Patrons of Ilusbad ry. which v.e will give our readers next week for light reading. We clip the following from an ex change: , . IF an editor omits anything, he is la ay. If he speaks of things ss they are, people get angry. If he-glosses over or smoothes down the rough point, be is bribed. If he calk things by their proper names, he is unfit for the posi- rush his readers with jokes, Ike is a mul let. If he does he is a rattlehead, lack ing stability. If he condemns wrong, 'U IS iKlKRl UUl 1W1 UlStH." t-ion. If he lets wrongs and injuries go unmentioned, he is a coward, I f he exposes a public man, he does iito gratify spite is the tool of a clique, or "belongs- to the "outs. If ho indulges In personalities, he is a blackguard ; if Fie does not, his paper is dull and in sipid. The fellow that wrote thus, must ae lived in V, no, Nebraska, and PEOPLE'S ?10VE3IET. Some persons are terribly anxious to inaugurate what they are pleased to term, "a People's Movement" in Caw County, and the Hekald has been ap proached on that matter. As an indi vidual we have expressed our opinion of the issues at stake at tho present time, and freely counseled all parties to hold their horses and reserve their strength until the time comes when it Will be needed. Just so far ns electing County offi cers this fall is concerned, it is very probable that any of the persons nom inated by the Pepublicaas will be ahti monoioly and anti-ccrruption strong enough to suit any one that is really honest in the intention to btand by the people in any matter of common weal. A strong effort to draw the Grangers iato some such movement has failed, thanks to their own good sense and the patriotic views of the worthy Master of the State Grange, Hon.' Wm. 13. Porter. There must be Borne new issue, some sound ideas not yet covered by the lie- publican party, before any new party, or set of men can hope to succeed. The mere cry of "anti-monopoly" is the yell of disappointed politicians. Ev ery Republican State Convention that has yet met h:is denounced the back pay steal, the course of the great cor porations and any and all useless ex penditure and frauds in the public fi nancial management. No other party has so well filled the bill, and it is idle and useless to try and bore augur holes with a gimlet, which is what any peo ple's part' would do were they to face the double opposition of the monopo lists and a strong organized party al ready leading the van in anti-monopoly movements. Understand us distinctly, we lKdieve in and always favor any true, genuine uprising of the eople against fraud and corruption; but when two or three men call themselves "the people" and attempt to create a revolution for purely selfish and personal ends, count us out. We do not believe there is any real demand for a people's party in this county at present, nor does there exist any necessity for such a party. All the grounds it could claim to be based on has already leen covered by one of the parties in the field. people's call. Since writing the above we have re ceived the following document: It reached us through the mail, and is without any signatures or any apparent authority whatever; therefore, by all the rules of journalistic courtesy we would not be obliged to publish or no tice the same. We do publish it, how ever, because we believe in a free, fear less, and well understood course. In these days of telegraphs, newspapers and general enlightenment, no cause that is just can fail through an open and fair discussion. If any 2eop7e of this county desire to re-enact the laws of common sense for the sake of ele vating a few discontented individuals to oflice, it shall not be said that the Herald will not give thein rope enough to hang themselves with. Here is the document: rropLL;.'? CArcr3. All good citizens of the city of Plattsmouth who are opposed to mo no;olies, are hereby called upon to meet in the Court House, on Friday evening, August 22.1, at 7:30 r. l, for the purpose of selecting one delegate to meet delegates from the other pre cincts of Cass county at Weeping Water Falls, on Saturday, August 23d, at 1 o'clock p. i., for the purpose of or ganizing a Central Committee, and de liberating on a plan of action for put ting a ticket in the county field this fall, pledged to oppose monopolies, the vital question now being, shall we be ruled by monopolies, or can we govern ourselves, No other party lines intro duced. All invited to be on hand. MBnnBntmwwnn LETTER FK0& A CITIZEN. Ed. Herald: I see that the Reso lutions that were passed at a meeting of our citizens on the evening of the 9th of Jul1, and afterwards presented to the Mayor and Council, and then re ferred to a Joint Committee for their action, have been reported upon, and are remarkable for nix. That Honorable Body, after having those resolutions under consideration for nineteen days, conceived and brought forth one of the smallest, puni est and sickliest little thiugs that was ever seen by mortal eye. 'et there was nothing in those resolutions but what every man could understand. The first resolution says: That a committee of five be appoint ed to wait uikui the City Council and respectfully ask the Mayor and Coun cil to at once anuul the contract already made for grading, and to stop the use less and unnecessary expenses now be ing contracted by the Street Commis sioner under the orders of the City Council. And the City Council are rt.spccffurfjj requested to expend only such an amount as may be necessary to put Chicago avenue in a good, passable condition; and we believe such work can be done for a sum not to exceed 300. Now, can you or any one else see anything objectionable in them, con sidering the poverty stricken condition of our city. The reason given by that Committee, for rejecting thoso resolu tions, are: "That we find that those resolutions have been presented to your honorable body without any sig natures attached to them." Suppose they were; those resolutions were pa-ssed by a majority at a meeting where three-fourths of that committee were in attendance, and they knew it. Again, they say that the resolutions smell so strongly of a desire to see an abundance of City Orders issued? instead of Street Bonds, thereby . de preciating the credit of the city. Now, I connot see where that comes in; for the icsolut ions ask them to annul the contract, i. c, to quit the work until wo can pay cash for it, and thus save 30 per cent, in cost. Which would be the greater los to the city, do you- think? The one to pay almost double j for the grading in bonds and 10 per cent, interest on them, or the other, to wait until we can have the cash, aid get it done at about half price, with out interest. Again, they say ve- d not find, upon a careful examination, that the said contract i3 exorbitant iii price; but are forced to tho v conclusion, after con sulting contractors, experts and engin eers, that, inasmuch as the contract only calls for 33 cents per cubic yard, it is not. God help John Hohlschuh, who is now grading for the county just outside of the corporation for 24 cents, amongst stumps and roots of trees, which must be at Jeast 5 cents per yard worse to do, than the avenue. The last grading that was done for the city, was done by D. W. Mullci:. at 23 cents per yard 12 cents less thai: this contract, and yet they can't see that the contract is exorbitant, after consulting the experts. If they wait to find out whether 33 cents is exorbi tant or not, let them consult John Hohlschuh, Walter White or David W. Mullen, and See what any one of them would do it it for, for cash; perhaps they would see then, whether it was exorbitant or not. Again, they say they believe it is the wish of the majority of the people to have the avenue graded at that price ; hut they took good care not to put it to a vote, or thay would have seen whether it waa or not, by one of the worst defeats they ever have known. Again, they say that it was open to a full and fair competition. Suppose it was; what difference would that make to them if they wanted to give it to A friend? llow did a majority of that Joint Committee vote in the matter of City Printing? .When a proposition was made to give it to the Watchman, and an amendment was made to gi ve it to the lowest bidder, a majority of that Joint Committee voted "no," not to give it to the lowest bidder. Now, if they were not particular in one case why should they be in the other, when giving it to one in the ring? Respectfully. Citizex. "DOUBTING THOMAS." In a lecture on Grange matters, de livered at Mt. Pleasant and published in the Herald, the lecturer in illus trating some theory of his own used the expression "Another doubting Thomas," and used the same name again in the sentence, "Not so, Mr. Thomas." Many persons erroneously have taken these allusions to mean Mr. Thomas, of Four Mile Creek, who for good reasons of his own has not seen fit to join the Grange. The Herald called Mr. Furlong's attention to these words and informed him that they might be taken as personal by any of the Thomas family in Cass County. Mr. F. thought not, and it is but jus tice to the lecturer to state that he then and there explained that "the doubting Thomas" was meant in a gen eral sense after the scripture phrase, meaning that Thomas .doubted every thing, and with no reference to any person here and now living. Mr. Thomas has s.'i.t us a communi cation on the matter, of which we give a portion below, as it furnishes food for thought on some matters not unin tcreresting to Grangers. His letter says: "Now, Mr. Furlong, if Thos. Thomas of Four Mile is the man you allude to in the above article, or if you have used those expressions from hearsay, please give the names of your inform ants and not lacerate our backs while our hands are tied. If the order you are so eagerly supporting is based on truth and equity, please give the cor rect biils and total cost of your insti tution, including initiation fees, dues and all the time lost in attending lodg es, getting up supper, &c. Now, sir, when you furnish the above statements I will give you my reasons for doubting whether your order benefits the poor man or helps the national good. Respectfully, Tiios. Thomas. CONGRESS, GRANGES, TRANSPORT ATION. Communication from the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trans portation to the Hastcrofthe Stats Grange, P. of II. "WiXona, Minn., July 15, 1ST3. My Dear Sir: The Senate of the United States, at its last session, ap pointed a select committee who are charged with the duty of investi gating the subject of transportation between the interior and seaboard. This duty involves a wide and difficult field of inquiry, and embraces certain questions of which the farmers of the country are deeply interested. Know ing that the Patrons of Husbandry have given much thought and atten tion to this subject, and believing that through their organization very im portant and valuable information may be obtained in aid of our work, I have thejionor, on behalf of the Committee, to request that you will after con sultation with the Granges in your ju risdiction select a suitable person who will appear before the Committee, and present the views and suggestions of the farmers of your State, in regard to the defects, abuses and grievances al leged to exist under the present sys tems of transportation, and also as to the remedy required. Should you deem it advisable to ar range for the conference suggested, please inform me of jur action and I will give you due notice of the time and place. Communications similar to this have been addressed to the Mas ters of all Stale Granges, and I venture to express the hope that the Commit tee may have the valuable assistance and cooperation of your powerful or ganization. " I am sir, very respectfully your obe dient Servant, William Wixdom, Ch'n Senate Com. on Traus't'n.' Mr. William B. Porter, Master Nebraska State Grange, PlattsiBOUthrNtb,- PERSONAL. J. L. Bcrger, of Indianola, Red Wil low Co., contracts for a year's supply of IIekalds to carry Cass county news to him. He is an old resident of this county, and does not fofget his former home. TELEGRAMS DOI LEDI)0 WN. Friday, August 8. The steamer Wawassett, running on the Potomac river took fire at Chatter ton landing, and was consumed. She had about one hundred and fifty pas sengers on board and between forty and fifty lives were lost. Henri Rochefort has been pro nounced b3r physicians fit to bear the journey, and will be sent with 89 oth er convicts to New Caledonia. Saturday, Aug. 9. A fire in Portland, Maine, destroyed property to the amount of G00,000. The 'steamers Birigo, Montreal and Carlotta were consumed, as well as a number of istore houses. The Great Extern has recovered the cable of 18G5. A newspaper man from Lincoln went out to Juniata not long since dur ing one of our thunder storms, and a3 the wind howled and howled and the rain and hail began to come thicker and faster and the lightning Hashed, the newspaper man turned pale and paler and finally asked his host! "Say Sam, can't you pray ; I could once, but am so wicked now I daren't." THE" INDIGNANT ES. The above caption is found in the WuMiman over what purports to be a report of some Joint Committee of the great and illustrious City Council of the City of Plattsmoutlu I do not propose to enter into a con troversy with a City Council Commit tee, who can, and I fear will, publish all such articles at the expense of the city. The so-called report is such a pettifogging affair that I am almost inclined to let it go unnoticed. The Committee, too, are such sound jurists that one feels almost abashed when he dares to disagree with them. Yet, we are of the opinion that not one of them know, ever knew, or care to know what the law is on tiie several points made by the Property Holders. In referring to that portion of the resolutions, "the Committee" calls the men of the city who take such work, "Healthy Men" (they will like it.no doubt such men as "Walter White, John Hohlschuh, David Mullen and Joseph Leasley). Yes, they are healthy men, and pay their honest debts and taxes and do honest work at reason able prices. The indignantcs, (as they arc called), did not ask to have orders issued ; they have enough of them now; for the or ders have already depreciated fifteen cents on the dollar since the low priced reform Council, with their Zluyor, have got in power to run the city finances. We think that JJarncs & Pollock, I). II. Wheeler & Co., J. N. Wise, W. L. Ilobbs or Sam. M. Chap man, could not wish for any Council' who are working harder to depreciate the credit of our city than are the pres ent Council and Maj or. We can only pity the poor men of the city, wlso, though paying but $3 to $10, should pay three-fourths of that amount to one or two of our citizens, who happen to be rich enough to own a store or a hotel, or have an interest in a bank. Pay your money, "Healthy Men"; It will help somebody who will loan you money at two per cent, a month, after selling the bonds re ceived for work; received for labor that you "Healthy Men," who "labar" could do yourselves and draw the mon ey direct. The price is clicup, very c7teaj yet one of our "Healthy Men," John Hohl schuh, is grading for the county and a very much harder job at 24 cents per cubic yard; yet an "unhealthy man," though wealthy :id doing busi ness through his wife, son, attorney, or brother-in-la to, may take a better job, and charge you 33 cents per cubic yard. O honesty, how we value you! We remember that when the present Reform Council first commenced busi ness, one of this same Cheap Commit tee moved.tolet the city printing to the Watchman, during their term of office, and when it was moved that the print ing of the city for the, ensuing year be let to the lowest bidder, what was the result? Why, our immaculates voted "no." No why no? because the Master said I want the job at a good price and he got it. Of course this "was not to make orders cheap; oh, no! we did not happen to see our "Watch vifin man" trying to sell city orders re cently at 10 to 15 cents below par. Cheap outfit, but very dear to the "Healthy Men," who pay taxes. In fact your writer thinks that the Com mittee have not answered a single po sition taken by the "iiuUgnantes" in their resolutions, which the Committee have failed ti copy in one single sen tence, though I bilieve your Master lias had them published. See Watch' vuui. But more anon. Hastily, "Healthy Man." ANOT H E Rl) I' 7E3I. Mr. Editor: I see by the Watch man that the Committee of the Coun cil to whom was referred the resolu tions of the Tax-payers' meeting, have, after some two weeks labor, reported; and such a report! It seems to me that a school boy of ten years would be ashamed of it. Failing to get around the force of the resolutions, they ridicule and make false state ments in regard to the action and in tentions or motives of some of our best citizens and heaviest tax-payers. The insinuation that some of these men desired the depreciation of orders, wo think is very far-fetched. The resolutions asked that the contract for grading be annulled and the work stopped. until such time as they could pay cash when they could get the work done 4 for ttrenty cents ier yard, instead of thirty-five. It seems tome that this would have been better policy and better financiering, and wovild have ' given general satisfaction to the tax ridden people, especially when they claim that there is twenty-eight thous and dollars of delinquent taxes that will be collected this fall; certainly better policy than to issue ten thous and dollars in one, two and three year bonds, and thereby largely increase tho taxes of the people. Why this haste to increase our taxes ? Why not have made these bonds to run for ten or twenty pears if it was necessary to is sue any bonds, and sold them for cash, and paid cash for the work, and saved the city about one half the expense of this work, that they deem so import ant to be done ? Taking all the facts and surround ings of this question, Mr. Editor, it looks to me as though there was "some thing rotten in Denmark." Why did the Mayor say upon the streets that they were going to grade Chicago avenue anyhow, and the tax-payers might enjoin as much as they pleased? Why did he say that the tax-payers had made Avar on them, and he would give them all the fight they wanted? Is this the way for the servants of the people to treat the men that bear the burthen of the taxes of the city? Why is it that these gentle men intend to bull this thing through ? Why did they not submit these bonds to a vote of the people, and then there would have been no dispute as to the legality of these proceedings, simply be cause they knew full well that they would have been voted down by an overwhelming majority. A word upon another question, Mr. Editor, and I am done, for this time. How much tax will fourteen mills give on an assessment of four hundred and fifty thousand dollars; and how much tax will be required on a bonded indebtedness of one hundred thousand dollars, to say nothing of the one-third of ten thousand street bonds and from twelve to fifteen thousand of a floating debt that the present Mayor and Coun cil will have run the city into if they run at the same rate tho balance of the year that they have since they came into power.
