Ohio elections have occurred, and. as

that we shall go "marching on" iu that
direction for some time to come, until
we chance unon a leader whp can or

Mr. Patterson is a good man they
say. We grant it. Personally we have
no word of reproach to throw at Mr,
Patterson, we are glad the Democracy
had "sense enough onco to put up
good man; but Mr.'John3on is just as
good a man, and he is a sound Repub
lican. Now it is admitted that Mr,
Patterson can only be elected bjr Re
publican votes. No valid charge can
be made against Mr. Johnson. Every
one knows he is honest, and competent
to fill the place. Do Republicans mean
to say that they deliberately propose
to vote against that kind of a Republi
can, simply for the fun of putting a
Democrat in his place, or because thev
are mad at some of the men who are
supporting Mr. Johnson. If so, and
that is the only reason for voting
against him, we cannot assent to there
being any Republicanism in such ac
tion.
It is charged, so we understand,
about the country, that Joseph John
son was nominated by a ring, or a com
bination between Plattsmouth and
Weeping Water, for future purposes
We know nothing of any such arrange
ment.. Mr. Johnson was nominated
because ne was ana is a good man,
faithful to all trusts reposed in him.
and because it was well guessed long
beforehand, that Mr. Patterson would
be the nominee on the- other side, and
that the Republicans would have to
put up their best and strongest man to
beat him, and Mr. J. W. Johnson was
thought to fill the bill better than any
one else. It would be very unjust, to
say" the least of it, to vote against Mr,
J onnson because vou don t like some
body who nominated him, that would
be a cowardly sort of revenge it seems
to us. Fight the men you don't like
when their time comes, that's the way
to do the business.
Of what avail would a greenback
party be, or what relief could it give
more than this.

congressmen last night adopted the fol-

for all debts. 3. The repeal of resump

Equalization of bounties, pensioning

and republicanism; if he remains true
to the Cincinnati platform and his let

It seems that a short time ago the
Pennsylvania delegation thought their
state was somewhat neglected, and as
an election was shortly coming off

to apply. They did so, and claim that

point any Peunsylvanian as Minister
to England that they would unani
mously recommend. The delegation
unanimously recommended Simbn
Cameron. Now Simon hates Civil
Service Reform, Southern Policy, and
Conciliation about equally alike and
of course the President could not ap
point him. Result, a row on the eve
of the Pennsylvania election. Here is
what the Post says of the matter:
the misunderstanding.
Washington, Oct. 27. The politic
al situation, after a week of wrangling
among Republicans, remains dark and
threatening. No one can yet see any
opening in the clouds. Most of the
Senators and Representatives are at
best in sullen, sour and crabbed dissat
isfaction with the methods of the Ad
ministration. The worst of it is those
who would defend the President, are
constantly precluded from effectively
doing so by some new blunders, like
the wretched management of the Eng
lish mission business. Friends of sen
sible service reform refuse to be held
responsible for such work, and its ene
mies make the town hirteoua with their
ridicule.
. The adjournment over t'll Monday
does not make even a truce in the war
fareand the week closes with a situa
tion about as unfortunate as it well
could be this side of an open rupture
between the President ami his party in
Congress, and their avowed ileli.mce of
his whole civil service policy.
southern.
On the Southern policy the trouble
is far less serious than might be accept
ed as a necessity, but the.differences on
the other point are radical, with no
plan of settlement yet visible.
people's voice.
The most unfortunate thing of all is
that, though the people are with the
President in this fight, their voice is
never heard. If he will but stand firm
the politicians vrho are making this
desierate war for spoils which does
not belong to them will have to retire
in disorder It is time for the press
and people now to speak and to ' utter
no uncertain sound in the endorsement
of the President and in the demand
for honest and decent politics. If this
be not done the cause must be tempo
rarily lost.

ABOUT THE INSANE ASYLUM.
From the Oma'ja Republican.
Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 29, 1877.
The board of public-lands and
buildings completed their investga
tion of the charges against Dr. F. G.
Fuller, superintendent for the hospit
al for the insane last week, and found
that there was grave mismanagement
of this inportant institution. The
specifications are withheld from the
public, in accordance with what ap
pears to be the plan of this board in re
gard to their incomptent officials.
Plain people think that as Fuller and
Wyman were the seryants of the peo
ple the people have a right to know
just what they have been doing that
made it necessary to order investiga
tions. The board having found the
charges against Dr. Fuller not without
foundation, the Doctor on Friday ten
dered to the governor his resignation
to take effect on the 15 of November.
There are several applicans for the va
cancy, the most prominent of whom are
Dr. Livingstone, of Plattsmouth, Dr
Mansfield, of Lincoln, and Dr.Coffman
of Omaha. We receive it from relia
ble authority that there is little doubt
that the choice of the governor will
fall on Dr. Livingston, a gentleman in
every way fitted for the position. In
act the governor has intimated his in
tention of not appointing anybody from
Lincoln and theLincoln.Physicians gen
erally prefer Dr. Livingston to their
home candidate.

Editor Herald: It is being told
about town that we iu PlattsinouLh
don't pay as much taxes as jieople iu
Lincoln, Nebraska City, or Omaha do;
but, sir, I know better, for I wrote in
July of last year to the Mayors of each
of these towns, and here is a copy of
their letters in reply:
Lincoln, Neb, July 20, '76.
E. G. Dovey, Plattsmocth.
Yours of the 17th inst., making in
quiry as to our tax levy for 187(5, to
hand. The ordinance passed by the
Council, June 2 3th, last, making levies
for the present year, is as follows:

3 mills; improvement, 2 mills: Int. and
Coupon. 10 mills; School District, 10
mills. 20 mills total for Citv and
School District purposes.
V ery respectfully,
Hoa'T. D. Silver, Mayor.
I also wrote E. T. Dnke, and here is
his letter:
Omaha, Neb., April 22d, 187G.
E.G. Dovey:
In answer to your letter of inquirv.
of this date, will say that it is the cus
tom in this city to assess merchandise
at 3 of its value, at least our merchan
dise was assessed in this way by the
assessor. I asked him how to give it,
and he said J of its value. I presuin
that all the other merchants were as
sessed in the same manner.
Yours truly, E. T. Duke.
In July I wrote the Mayor of Oma
ha, and here is his reply:
Omaha, July 18th, 1873.

Dear Sir: Received yours of the
12th inst. this morning. See this day's

E. G. Dovey. Plattsmouth:
Dear Sir: Mavor Tomlin handed
me yours of the 17th, and in reply en

ng more convenient, lhe assessment
in this town was made on the basis of
4 of the actual value of town proper
ty, this being done so as to keep the
town from being assessed too high lor

ment gives the assessment for the year
1876 at, ceneral fund, mil s; sinking
fund, 10 mills; school fund, 2 mills;
special fund, 3 mills; street fund, 2
mills; making in all 22 mills, at 3 or
the actual value of town property..
Now, Mr. Editor, taking those as
sessments, and we not only pay a larg
er tax than Lincoln, but our taxe3 for
City purposes, for the year 1876, were
more than Lincoln, Omaha, and Ne
braska City all put together. If any
one would like to see the above named
etters, I have them in my possession,
ind will take a pleasure in showing
them to anyone who wishes to see them.
And here I challenge any living man,
regardless of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude, to find a town
or city, either iu the Union or out of
the Union, either in Northern States
or in the Southern States, where the
negroes and carpet baggers have been
playing thunder in any country eith
er under Republican Monarchies or
Imperial Governments, any where be
twixt here and Jerusalem, if they give
the facts and figures, and prove that
there is one spot on earth that pays the
same taxes that we in this city do, I
will pay mine in the future without a

to her mother. The visitor begged her
to put it away, although it was unload

empty pistols as playthings. When he
arose to go away, she laughingly ran
upstairs to her brother's room, got a
cartridge and put it in the cylinder,
and came bounding down, calling to
her friend, who was passing out of the
front yard, to see her shoot; but be
fore she had leveled the weapon in her
gleeful hurr', she pressed the trigger,
and the ball struck between her eves,
passing upwards. Miss Blaine clasped

It having been reported that the Re

that no such an agreement, nor any

deny any thing of the kind.
We just want to say one word on
this business. We don't propose to be
placed in a false position again ou this
matter. There are always a lot of out
side fellows that are more worried over
our printing than we are ourselves.
We expect and believe that Mr. Ilyers
is a gentleman, and if elected will do
what he pleases with his printing and
just what is right about it. In the
meantime we don't think it just to give
other people a chance to make votes
by stating that he is fighting Platts

Newspaper. We do not edit a paper
for money alone, and no man or set of
men can buy the opinions of this pa

very best of our ability, av.d believe

It i a duty every man owes to hinife! und to
tliOJe interested with liiiu to know the eond!
dltion of tluWffc to lib projierty. It is a act
well known to the lejial profession, :md to real
estate dealers, that thousands of the impn.rtd
and unimproved farms of this western country,
have imperfect titles ; much expense ai.d ini
tiation can be saved bv having yourtlllesexain
wed and perfected, at o:ico, and before pioper
ty reaches eastern fl.ures in value, when ques
tionable, titles become more dinVuit to remedy.
All persons claiming title to land should ob
tain the United States Patent and have it re
corded, the Icya) title from the Government is
vested in the individual thrnuph tbe patent
and title is not perfect until the Patent U issu
ed and recorded, and eastern capitalist will not
Jortii money on such Kcourl'y unless it b done.
As a matter of business eonvi nience, I have
connected this department with my Law Prac
tice, and have placed in charge of It XV. S. V Ise,
w ho w ill, under my supervision, attend to all
matters itppertaininir thereunto.
A ten year's residence in the State and Coun
ty, with oonftant business experience, and rela
tions with its inhabitants, has thoroughly qual
ified me for transacting business of the abmo
mentioned character with facility.
