Treated by a master mind, this subject must be full of information for every one, and we expect to see a crowded house to meet our oldest and best known Pro fessor. tit ron TAT. Some chap calling himself "Old Set tler," has a letter in the Watchman of the 12th, in which he says the Herald calls the citizens of the county "slang names" and applied "epithets" to them. 'Old Settler" simply lies, and if he should sign himself "old fool" hereafter, ho would come nearer the truth. "We called no citizen slang names, we defy him to find them in the article. Wc applied no "epithets," and also de fy the proof of that by any one that can read English. Wo should not answer this chronic old growler at all, as the IIf.rald cares very little for his opinions of matters and we opine that the people (the real people of the county) care less, only when a fellow gets up and tells the Herald that he has been called epi thets and all that bosh, and works him self up, real mad, we like to call him something worth getting mad at. We hate to see him waste his rage, there fore we suggest the change in his nom de plume hereafter. Lastly, Old Settler falls into the same ditch with Todd and Kirkpatrick, in calling 20 or 30 people, the citizens of Cass county, and imagining that all the people feel themselves insulted be cause those few have put their foot in it. AH- the rest of "Old Settler's letter, as far as regards the Herald, is an swered elsewhere, and he confounds himself in charging what the Herald says, and afterward acknowledging that Mr. White said it and not the Herald at all, as he proves by the county Attorney. Now you may light the taxes and the expenses all you ;Mease, Mr. Old Settler, but if you make any more charges about this pa per, you may get your fingers bunted. COUNTY FAIR. We desire to call the attention of the public again to the Cass County Fair, to be held on the 14, 13, 16, and 17th days of September next. This fair is destined we think, without a tfobt, to be the most interesting one ever held in this county ; we are giving the peo ple fair notice and a favorable oppor tunity to exhibit the products of their own industry; we earnestly ask and in sist that our citizens make an effort in this matter if you value your person al and public interests, and let us see what we arc capable of doing in times considered very depressing. We have offered premiums that are great induce ments to exhibitors, in many instances as large :is those offered by the State Fair, and larger than is offered by any other County Fair in the State. We mention a few of the most important premiums: Houses Thoroughbreds; best Stal lion 820; 2nd best S10; best mare 820; 2nd best 810; and Sweepstakes 815. Cattle Short Horn and Devons; best Bull 820; 2nd lest 810; best Cow 820; best Heifer 820 ; 2nd best 810; Sweepstakes 810. Sheep Hest liuek 83; best Ewe 83.

El I a vrttx, Ner. ) Aug. 10th; 1273. C Mr. EdiIoU: Iitf your account of the people's nieeting; held ill the Court House on the fith 6f July, and which you characterize In naming head lines, as "The great CassCu; Uorianza; Grand rally of the indignant; Talk of tar and feathers, ropes and bludgeons" and many other facetious epithets; you proceed to say: "Bight after dinner the horny handed and hard fisted, assem bled in the Court House, Bro. Todd proceeded to dilate." After your account of Mr. Todd's speech, and his motion to appoint a committee &c, you proceed to say: "Before the committee was appointed however, Mr. Kirkpatrick sjeeched a little, lie hit Todd a square slap in the mouth, (metaphorically) and wink ed at the Herald (that wink must have been metaphorical also), then he offered some resolutions which will be published in next week's Herald in full. Short hand they called for the vacation of M. Jj. White's oflice, and the burning of all the 11. It. Bonds, and all other indebtedness of the county." We have been waiting a whole mouth, for the fulfillment of the prom ise made in the foregoing quotations, but not one word has appeared in your paper on the subject. Now Mr. Editor we care nothing for your darning head lines, and your talk of "tar and feath ers, ropes and bludgeons;" if you can afford to characterize a jeaceable meet ing of the people as the "great Cxss Co. Bonanza," and call it "this row," and to apply the epithets, "horny handed, hard listed indignantes," to the people coniiRjsing it, we can stand it. It is a matter of editorial taste between your self and the people. But when you at tempt to reiort the acts of a public meeting, vou ought to report correct ly in your report you proceed to say, "then Todd and he sparred a little, and the "meet in" accepted "Kirk's" adden da and appointed the committee,,' thus asserting that Mr. Kirkpatrick intro duced a resolution calling for the burn ing of all It. It. Bonds, and all other in debtedness of the county, and the meet ing adopt the same. Now Mr. Editor, Mr. Kirkpatrick as well sis the citizens composing the meeting, have a right to demand that you correct your report. Mr. Kirkpatrick did not offer any resolutions to the meeting, but did lay before the meeting a petition to the board of County Commissioners, ask ing the vacation of M. U. White's seat as a member of the board, and also an other petition, or memorial, to the board, couched in respectful language, on the subject of the Trunk K. It. Bonds; but containg no allusion to any other 11. It. Bonds, nor to any indebt edness of the county, which petitions were adopted by the meeting and laid before the commissioners by the com mittee. Further on in your report, in speak ing of the committe and the commis sioners, you represent the contest as between science and brute force, and say that "science won this time." That is certainly complimentary to some body. You say "finally they (the com mittee) slobbered the whole tiling over and concluded there had been some mistake." And then you say, "The Herald must say it (meaning the edi tor) has seldom seen so great a col lapse." Now, we have to say that we have full confidence in the honesty of the committee, and in their ability to in telligibly examine the county books, and to report to the people the infor mation sought for. We will also say, that through a re port of the committe already publish ed, and reports elicited from the Board of Comr's., and from M. L.. White, we have derived more information con cerning county finances and the dis bursements of county funds than would have come to us in a long while, with out the appointment of the committee. We have found out that extra attorney fees amounting to $S,'300.00 have been paid by the county in the last year: and that 83,000.00 extraordinary and extra fees, have been paid to one coun ty officer, and 8742.00 to another coun ty officer. The committee will go on at their convenience, and make furth er investigation and report for the in formation of the people, until we find out all we need to know in order to award praise or blame where it justly belongs. Finall', we intend to hold public meetings and pass resolutions, and ap point committees, until we ferret out all unlawful and dishonest appropria tions of the public moneys, if any such have leen nttule, and prevent any such from being made hereafter, and compel the strictest economy, and fullest ac countability in the management of our county finances. Truly Yours, REMARKS BY THE EDITOR OF THE- HERALD. As we have seen a good many of the citizens of Liberty and A-voca, person ally, (more than attended the m-eeting and talked with them .and focwxJr out just how much they were insulted, aaid all about it, we had not proposed to say anything more about the "big bo nanza," &c. Out of respect to Mr. Kirkpatrick himself, and to members of his family, we would rather not have printed his letter at all, and would like still better, as far as our mere wish goes, if we could avoid answering it, and exposing its weakness, but we are editing a pa per here, our family is to be taken care of, and other business interests and du ties surround us, as they do every man and will not allow ns tamely to sit still and le unjustly assailed or accus ed, wherein our reputation may be in jured, and the supposition go abroad that we were not able to answer Mr. Kirkpatrick's talk. We shall therefore reply to the letter in detail. FIRST, It is a matter of very grave doubt how far the people of any one precinct, even if they were unanimous, could arro gate to themselves the right to repre sent the whole people of this county, so that if we had even ' characterized" the citizens there, no charge of charac terizing (whatever that may be) the people of this County could be made. We deny then that it was a people.?' meeting at all, or that it was a meet ing of the people of Avoca and Liberty prerincts. There were not to exceed 15 persons there from Liberty, and not over 3 from Avoca, and some of them dropped in froii? curiosity, and not be cause they approved of the aims and objects of that meeting. There were none from the west, and considerably more than half of tlroee present were droppers in from Platts mouth and vicinity, who merely came in to see what was up, just as the edit or of the Herald did. todd's meeting. It was universally called "Todd's Meeting" up here, and we had no rea son to suppose that any great number of people were concerned in it at all. There had been no excitement then about here on those matters, and almost every man that came down the stairs, treated it as a huge joke, or dis approved of the tenor of his remarks. The editor of the Watchman, (their pet paier) got up and contradicted Mr. Todd right there. Todd did most of the talking, as he generally does. Now we have a very limited acquaintance with Mr. Todd, but had always understood him to be a wild chimerical impracticable man. If we do him an injustice he must not blame us, for we are only quoting his own neighbors on him. We repeat that it was called Todd's meeting, we wrote it up from that stand point, and as one man even went so far as to aver that Todd was part crazy, anil the rest d d foot, the Herald had no idea that he was representing Mr. Kirkpat rick or even any of the people down there. If Todd i$ the people of Cass County, and Mr. K. is Todd's second, we said some mean things of them, we acknowledge the corn. BIG BONANZA. It might do for "Old Settler," and such men as Todd, and Davis, and Lin ville, who boast that they do not take, and do not re;id the papers, to take of fense at this word, but a gentleman of Mr. K.'s reading and information, should never have done it, for he must know that the word is a very common newspaper word, has been applied to everything this summer from a pigeon shoot to a shipwreck. It simply means "a big thing," and cannot be construed into a term of reproach, an epithet, or anything else obnoxious. INDIGNANTES. The gentlemen were either indig nant, or they were not. If not indig nant, their meeting was a farce, and if they were then were they "indignantes," which is simply anglicized Latin for Indignants. Nothing opprobrious there. TAR, ROPES, &.C. We are prepared to prove that there were rumors of tar and feathers, and ropes, and hanging, just as we stated. Not as the Herald said, but as the Herald said the people said, and they did say so, our report is correct. L. G. Todd said in the School House, at Liberty and elsewhere, that the commissioners ought to be hung. Here are his very words on one occasion, when talking of coming up here to this very meeting: todd's words. "We are in favor also, if Mr. M. L. White is there, to put a rope around his neck and trot him up and down." We have Capt. Haygood's word for these words, a citizen of Liberty, a good man and a truthful one. and he says he can bring a number of men who heard the same. Now just think for a moment, how such language can grow and be added to, and enlarged, in traveling 15 miles, with several day's time, and we think ever" one will bear us out in our mod est report. that there was talk of tar and feathers, ropes, &c, THE HORNY HANDED, & HARD FISTED. One can hardly go out into the coun try and listen to a Grange speech, nor a farmer's speech, scarcely, wherein they do not so designate themselves, and seem to take pride in it.. We sup posed it was a mark of honor and not of reproach, in fact we have felt rather foolish when they looked at our little soft hands on several occasions. If farmers are ashamed of their own voca tion and its consequent results to the bone and muscles of their hands, it is news to us. We are not ashamed of our work, nor our looks, and no honest farmer should be, or is, of his. Noth ing derogatory was intended then, but nit her praise, for we might add that we have seen our own hands as hard, as horny, and as scarred, with hard work, as any farmer's there, and we felt much better in many ways than we do now. THAT SLAP. Mr. Kirkpatrick did contradict Mr. Todd, and did metaphorically slap him, &c and it can be proved by a large majority of those present,including men of both parties those who were in unison with the meeting, and those not. THE WINK. We acknowledge it was metaphori cal an optical illusion owing to the sun in the west window we take it all back he didn't wink he can't wink. THE RESOLUTIONS are on file in the Clerk's offiee, and any man can lead them. We venture that nine men out of ten will swear that we summed up their import very nearly correct. The reason why we did not publish them that week, was because acting Clerk Wells, told us they would be incorporated in the "proceedings." When they were given me and I asked where "Kirk's letter &e," were, Clerk Moore said they were too lengthy to publish at the county's cost, and were not a part of the Co. Commissioner's pro ceedings. It was too late to copy them that week, and the next Mr. Wells had gone away, and the papers had been misplaced; by the third week they were too old for a live newspaper. Mr. Kirkpatrick's best way would have been to have sent his Mss. to the Her ald, himself. RESOLUTIONS OR PETITIONS. For the life of us we cannot see what difference it makes whether you call them resolutions or petitions. Mr. Kirkpatrick offered some papers, and they were adopted by the meeting, you may call them what you like. It is loo simple to quarrel over, but since the matter has come up we have asked three different men who were there and they say that Mr. Kirkpttrick's papers were offered as resolutions and so adoptinl by the meeting, and they are tonlay endorsed on the back, "adopted by the meeting, July Cth. 173." Now if an unofficial meeting of that kind "adopts" a petition, it is news to us. We understood the "peti tion" of Mr. Kirkpatrick to call for the burning of all bonds, now in the hands of trustees ct commissioners, and so did all we ha, e talked with. In" the confusion of two or three jrpc.aking at once (and there were several motions before the house at the same time) we may have been mistaken on that; we find we are on reading Mr. Kirkpat ricks Mss.. but that was the general im pression given to most people, and you should have your meetings conducted more systematically hereafter, then such mistakes would not occur. In regard to the expression" other in debtedness," we plead guilty that was an interpolation of our's which slipped in by writing a report of the meeting in haste that evening, in order to have it re;idy for the printers in the morn ing. We correct that, and beg pardon. THE collapse. It was a collapse; you promised us a mass meeting you told us you were going to take strong measures, &c. ; you did' iTot, It was-not a mass meeting. You presented your ease to the Com missioners weakly and shamefacedly, and you yourself never appeared at all in the Commissioners court, but left Todd, whom we resp'jtft't for his cour age, to fight it out alolle. SCIENCE PS. BRUTK STRENGTH. Mr. Todd and his adherents had threatened brute force They had talk ed of tarring and hanging. You can not deny it nor disprove it. The Com missioners did take it coolly. Old man White did calmly and dispas sionately argue his case and you, or your committee, did back down, to a great extent. Now it is not necessary in order to settle this between you and the Heral-d that we express our opin ion of the justness of M. L. White's plea, nor to say whether the Commis sioners were justified in their acts, that is where you and your gentlemen make a great mistake in confounding what you suppose are the Herald's opinion on the merits of the case with what the Herald states as the facts in the Commissioners' office. We sim ply give the facts. You threatened force. White opposed, chin music White won. Science won "this time" we did not say it would always, we did not say the Commissioners were right, we said science won. The brute strength argument was dropped then and forever; in short, you want to de ny it now, which shows we told the truth. NOW THIS WHOLE THING turns on this, did the Herald report the meeting in fair terras just as it took place, within the limits that we could spare (about a column)? We venture to say that a majority vote of those present, taken to-day, will be in our favor. Both you and the people at Fohlen's school house confound what you t!i ink or hope the Herald be lieves as to the merits of this case, with the facts as described, and then educe conclusions that no unbiassed mind could draw. When you come to set your opinion of words against the facts of a man who has been all his life collecting news and reporting it, you need to have very sure ground under your feet or the general public will decide against you as they will do here. the truth is, that article was written purely from a reporters view, purely as an item of news, no bias was intended to be given to the report, no opinion of the just ness of the commissioner's views nor of the necessity of the meeting. No fair mind can construe it any other way. The fact is, Mr. Kirkpatrick, you really found yourself in company you are not accustomed to, and a "little short," and you are now about half ashamed of it, .and want to find the lest way to get out of it. All right, we shan't stand in your way. The last part of Mr. Kirkpatrick's letter needs no answer. No one stands in the way of the freeest and fullest investigation of county affairs by any one or any numbur of people. If fraud is discovered let it be properly punish ed. Hold all the meetings you want to, show up the dishonest or incompe tent ones, neither the Herald, nor the Republican party, nor yet the cit izens of Plattsmoutii, will throw a straw in your way, but the rather aid you to all good ami noble works. Be honest yourselves, make correct and honest reports. That is all we ask, and it is only what the Herald has ursred for years, that the people should manage their own business, look after their own business .and elect and keep only honest men in office. There was a State Convention held at Omaha yesterday to take steps to have Nebraska properly represented at the Centennial, the proceedings of which will be given next week. Messrs. A. L. Sprague and J no. A. MacMurphy represented Plattsmoutii. GREAT Ii. & M. R. It. EXCURSION. Otct 1,000 Tcople Pass Through Piatt mouth ! ! Mr. Handle Sees 'em Through. A very large excursion from Illinois passed west yesterday from here. There were 9C0 adults, babies and chil dren not counted. Mr. Holdrege and the R. R. men had their hands full to provide coaches for all this crowd, it took a round dozen to do it. They were a fine looking set of people and have come at a very opportune time to see our country. Mr. Perry Walker sees fit to stop his paper because he does not like some things we do and say; that is all right, if Mr. AValker can afford to advertise himself as the man who stops his paper when he gets mad, we can stand it if he can, (to quote Mr. Kirkpatrick,) Mr. Walker might have reflected a mo ment and thought of the many good and kind words the Herald has said for him and his in years gone hy and they would amount to thousands. He might have looked at himself a mo ment in the light of a great moral re former, and ascertained how much real honesty and reform there is in taking a paper just as longas the editor thinks just as you do and writes just as you want him to, but stopping it whenev er he sees fit honestly to differ with you. He might have still further redacted that "stop my paper" doesn't really spite the editor or writer, but if carried out to sufficient extent, would simply injure his innocent family or his poor workman. But it is not for these reasons that we have mentioned Mr. Walker, other men have "stopped the paper" and we have lived through it and we presume we shall survive this blow. Mr. Walker told our young man that the rason he stopped it was because we wo lid not publish the re port of the investigating committee without pay, while the Watchman did, and we want to find out where the lie is. Mr. McDonagh told us he would not publish it without pay, and after we had both published a portion (by agreement) without pay, and he had published still another section, he told us lie was getting pay for it. Now Mr. Walker you're a reformer, if they told you that we would not publish without pay and that the Watchman did, either thy or Mr. McDonagh lie, and if you made it up out of your own head," as the boys say, you are greatly mistaken. Moreover the Herald did not re fuse to publish a condensed, concise re port free, but did refuse to publish 5 or 6 columns for nothing, and as most of that committee are worth dollars to the Herald's cents, we can conceive of no justice or honesty which would require us to publish it free. We try to m?.ke a living out of our newspaper, as you do from 3-our apples or Mr. Shel don from his farm. You don't raise grain for fun, we don't ron a newspa per for fun either An Amateur paper will be publish ed at the Centennial by delegation of boys printers from the different states.
