VTe ilJ not think tlie county seat ill be moved just yet. The precinct will vote solid for I'lattsinouth, it is said. Tiik I-O heads its war news "All lliHaor." That's about so. S.

Tuesd.iy is Election day and if the people of this county desire to locate their county seat trny must turn out. So far as heard from Flattsmouth. Louisville, Center, Weeping Water, and llock liluffs will all be voted for next Tuesday. The IIki:ali is opposed to any of fers of bonus of any kind for re-locating the county seat, believing they are illegal, lead to law suits and seldom can be enforced when the time comes. Many of the most prominent far mers in Liberty, Eight Milo and even Mt. Pleasant say they will vote for riattsmouth, believing the expense of the county would be increased by a re moval at present. And now comes a man who says he knows all about the Beecher-Tilton case and that Tilton and Moulton put it up on Eeech'-r. He claims to have the papers to prove it. Trot 'em out, that's what we want proof. ISro.

We do not see that the course of the President need affect the action of the llepublican party in the coming cam paign. We always supposed the party made the President, not the President the party. Let the llepublican party go right along about their business, se lect a good National Committee, make the best effort that can be made in the weak States and let the President do as he likes. Fall in or buck. It is idle folly to talk about any high strained sense of justice on this coun ty teat vote, or to split hairs about the exact center, the fact is the vote will bo in the main a peifecMy selfish vote; each section voting for just what they think will be to their interest, and for their case and comfort. The general good is of secondary importance to a gre;it many. We look for each party to vote and work their best for what thev consider their own interest. The absolute repeal of the bankrupt law would be a detriment to the coun try. A wise bankrupt law. just to all parties, is an absolute necessity in a mercantile community subject to a fluctuation of values, such as ours There is no use in crowding and keep ing u good business man to the wall, all his days, for a mistake, or error of judgment.

Wheeler's article on the County Seat in last week's Chronicle is a fair speci men of the animus that lias character ized all the movements of the worst class of politicians in I'lattsmoulh. A certain clique in l'lattsmouth have never hesitated sacrifice every inter est of tlie county or even of their own town to further their own individual interest, and for many years being the principal manipulators in county af fairs, they have brought down curses upon riattsinouth which ought to have descended on them alone. The people at large are not acquainted with the great mass of well meaning people in l'lattsmouth. and socoudemn the w hole for the unscrupulous acts of the few. Not only have county interests been sacrificed and county taxes been in creased for the furtherance of their schemes, but private reputations have been assailed. Business men have been assailed through those secret in stitutions, commercial agencies, their credit ruined and they pressed to the wall because they did not bend the knee. Not more th in ten years ago, because the cashier of the riattsinouth bank would noi nod to the beck of a certain few, a run was instituted on the bank and but for a mere accident it would have been crushed. And now in this county seat contest, Wheeler's only resort is to descend to low, personal slings, and appeals to the passions and prejudices of the people. Can such men expect to win? Can they have the brazen face to go before a county convention and ask for office? Will the cloak of temperance cover the sins of a life? Let the people answer. What a grand pity it is that county surveyor should spend all Sunday in trying to point out the graphical center of Cas3 County our day fail. Let the loaders of the IIekald jadge whether he has pointed out the true center, it is 17 miles from the east line of the county and only 16 from the west, while it is 8 miles and 02 rods from the south line and only 7 miles and a few rods from the north line. Try it again brother Fairfield and you will get it right. The exact geograph ical center of Cass County is the quar ter section corner on the north side of 26-11-11, from this point it is 1G miles to the east line of the county, 16J2' miles to the west line, 8 miles to the south and 1 to the north line. While it is 182' miles in a direct line to the n. w., s. w. and s. e. corners of the coun ty or 24;2 iiiles by section lines. The n. e. corner is a mile nearer owing to the Platte river having washed away a little corner of the county which Wheeler S Co. had intended to donate to the farmers of Cass County for coun ty fair grounds, but we are willing to give that corner a little advantage as it has got so used to being petted. The exact center is miles north of the n. w. corner of Weeping Water and two miles from the center of the village. ''ropulatlonallj" Considered. While your Flattsmouth agitators can manufacture no valid reason for keeping the county seat at Flattsmouth, the' seem to be confident of one thing, that the west end of the county has no rights which they are bound to respect. A Lawycr( ?) says: "There may be a great deal of acreage and not many people. Why not look at the popula- tional center?" Well, so we will. The population to the square mile in the several precincts is as follows: Louisville, 24; Eight Mile Grove, 17; Liberty, 2:i, Weeping Water, 16; Rock Bluffs, 23 ; Stove Creek, 16 ; Flattsmouth, 21; Tipton, 15; South Bend, 20; Avocaf 15; Greenwood, 18; Center, 14; Elm wood, l7-2'; Mt. Pleasant, 11; Salt Creek, 17. So we see that this new portion of our county, Tipton, Greenwood and Salt Creek, the fairest and the best which Wheeler is sa anxious to throw away to hold the county seat, is but little behind Flattsmouth precinct, which has been settled for 25 years. How long will it take it to be ahead? Again we find by looking at tljg census that west of Weeping Water there are only 555 inhabitants less than there are east of Weeping Water, excepting the town of Flattsmouth, or counting in the town of Flattsmouth, the east portion has but 2600 more. When we consider the age of the eastern settlements com pared with the west, the unscrupulous means that have been used by Wheeler vS: Co. for Flattsmouth and against the west, we must say that we are aston ished, and we feel safe in saying that within five years, county seat or no county seat. Weeping W ater will be the center "populationally." Has the Time Come. Not even the brazen faced Wheeler outfit have the cheek to say that the county seat ought to remain where it is. They want it to and would sacri fice every interest of the county, even to the cutting off of the west one half or two thirds of the county, but they know that the people of Cass County, the fariniirg community at least, have too much honor to not see that it is gross injustice to hold the county seat where it is. and so they cry, the time has not come. Why has it not come? Because the people for three years have sent commissioners there whom they cannot buy or bribe into putting up county buildings at Flattsmouth. De cause a former commissioner exposed aud upset their plans for levying ex cessive taxes and then voting the sur plus into county buildings at Flatts mouth. Because it will remove from them the chance of using the county effects for individual profit. Daniel says he hopes they will consider well before they move the county seat to please half a dozen people. Let the people consider well before they vote to disregard, the petition of nearly three-fifths of all the voters in this Co. A few very silly people" object be cause the IIekald publishes the prop osition of Weeping Witter for the coun ty seat, and allows them a hearing in the paper. We claim the right to do and act individually as we choose in this and every other matter, the same as any other citizen. In our newspa per business we also claim the right to transact that a3 seems to U3 best for our interests and that of the county. This paper claims to be a newspaper aud also a county paper. The propo sitions and arguments of other places are both news, aud proper and useful news in this case, moreover they have a right to come in and show their case, and any attempt to shut them out would only result in more animosity against Flattsmouth, and give rise to a just charge that they could not have a fair trial on the county seat, and be a good and valid reason for starting oth er papers in the county that would give them a hearing. The position of the IIekald has been clear and well defined from the first. Before any other paper, and but few individuals knew anything about the matter, we ascertained and pub lished the fact that petitions were be ing signed to remove the county seat, thus giving all fair warning. We dep recated the move, at present, but knowing it must come insisted on these terms, and wrote as follows in an edi torial of March 14th: While believing that all parlies could better afford to wait yet another year until the full tide of better times and easier money relations for our county would be more certainly a fixed fact as we believe it will then yet if our friends are bound to bring the issue now, so let it be; the IIekai.d recogni zes fully the right of the pecple, the whole people of the county to change their county seat, if a legal majority of the people decide in a fair election to so change it. The IIekald has insisted on these points for the good of all par ties and that there may be no squab bling and legal nonsense afterwards. That it be a special election in order that tho county seat question may stand on its own merits and not be mixed up with politics. (That is grant ed we believe.) No bonus or offers of any kind shall be made by any place to induce or bribe the votes of the people for one place or the other. We want all parties to have a fair, five chance that no c arge of fraud or secrecy can be made and it is the enly way that will satisfy the people. Weeping Water being really the ob jective point, the animus in this business lying between l'lattsmouth and Weep ing Water; we want her to have the fullest and best chance to lay any and every argument in her favor before the people of this county, that here after no charge of not having a fair chance can be made. We do not believe the county scat can be moved now, unless Flattsmouth herself deliberately votes against her own position. There are over one fifth of the possible votes of the county registered here, now. If we can't get one fifth more from all the contig uous territory, which should be allied to us, we ought to lose the county seat, and we will. A little more work and aid, and less talk from some folks would help your case in Flattsmouth, gentlemen and we advise you to go about it, and let the newspaper manage its own affairs. Oar County Seat. Mr. Editor: As the Couuty Seat question opens a field for a free fight in the papers, please allow me a chance with ihe rest of the world. First, one thing seems evident, that Flattsmouth would best accomodate the people of the county for many years to come. This statement will prove itsel f con clusively to any one who will examine the county map, for there he will find that in the event of the location being made at Centre or Weeping Water, three tax payers will be compelled to travel to the Court House from the eastern half of the county where one would come from the western portion. Again, if we take into consideration the amount of taxes paid by the re spective portions, the preponderance is greatly in favor of the eastern portion of the county, but as "Old Subscriber" urges a definite conclusion, I will rea son upon this hypothesis. The west ern half of our county is rapidly fiiling up, which will sooner or later cause a removal. of the county seat from the Missouri river, even should l'latts mouth retain it upon the strength of the vote about to be cast, another elec tion in a few years would push it to the west; hence the question now be fore the county is. whether, by ignor ing the claims and sectional interests of any town or village, they will locate the county site at the center, or will they in removing it from Flattsmouth, re-locate it in the Weeping Water val ley two and a half miles south of the center, down among the bluffs of Sand Creek? Or in other words, are the voters of the county willing to tax themselves to build a full set of coun ty buildings at Weeping Water, ;:nl in five years again the same issue wiil be before the people and tin same argu ments will be urged agaiu.-t Weeping Water that they now advance against Flattsmouth. Let us have rest on this subject; let these bickerings be settled and let justice be done to the whole county. The time has come when even handed justice only will satisfy tin's people. The voting or bulldozing for this or that village or town will have no influence when it conflicts with the interests of a majority of the county. There .'sbiltone location against which no objection can be raised of unfair ness at least, and that is the County Center, or as near that as practicable. It is true that W.W. holds out a S5000, bid, or bribe for the count' site forfive years. This looks pretty thin; too much like clap-trap; it is too small a consideration for the county to notice, inasmuch as it compels two-thirds of the voters of the county to travel two and a half miles soutli of the center to reach it. If anything forces itself upon the minds of this county with great cogency, it is this, that the only way to do justice is for the county to build their own buildings, at their own ex pense and on such a site as will be de cided upon by the votes of the county; that is, to act independently of any vil lage whatever. The Center is the only spot on which the county seat can be located and re main permanently. This idea may grate harshly upon the feelings of the Flattsmouth folks, it may burst up and explode all tho nice speculations and fine-spun theories of the denizens of Weeping Water, yet it is as certain as fate, that when our old town shall wake up to find themselves minus a county house they will have to look for it on the broad prairie at or near the center of old Cass. Let us have a "definite conclusion," buzzes "Old Subscriber;" please re member "the thriving village of Weep ing Water chirps another, with its $5000 bribe." By a glance at the county map, it ap pears that W. W. City is the south tier of townships, while the ea3t half of the county contains two townships and one section deep before reaching the Platte river. Hence the beauty of the AV. W. programme, that a voter from the Platte river must travel from 13 to 18 miles to reach the "thriving village," and the Court House, while six miles is all the distance the voter on the Otoe line travels to reach the same place. If your correspondent errs not, it is this thriving village of W. W. that has been agitating this question ever since there was a corporal's guard of voters iu it, but they are excusable for this, inasmuch as they seem to have been laboring under a strange hallucination in supposing that their little town em braced not only all Cass County, but a fair portion of the State, hence the zeal manifested by this "thriving village," in dictating county affairs. So far as the center is concerned, bro. Fairfield thinks it is in the north west quarter of the south west quarter of section 23. town 11, range 11 north, while other parties demonstrate it to be on the township line where sections 18 and 10 in aforesaid town and range, and where sections 13 and 24 of town 11 range 11 come to the township line, but be this as it may, other measure ments will be made before the centre will be "definitely" established. Qui Vive. A BUSTED CENTRE MAN. What Shall 1 Do. Ed. IIekald. I am a center man and want the county seat located in the center. But what shall I do? I first consulted A. B. Smith and found t lie center was the n. e. corner of 21-11-11, but in a few days the Weepii g Wa ter fellows showed me that the point that was equi distant from every side and corner was the quarter section cor ner on the north si ie of 26. I was thoroughly convinced of tin's point, but our county surveyor says it is a mile n. w. from there. 1 could not doubt liiti' only for the fact that McDonagh, of the Watchman, says it is on 14. What he says even b dy knows to be true, and what m ikes his point look more like the centre is that he is back ed in his statement, by that truth lov ing, life lo:iz temperance man, Wheel er. Mr. Kdi'.or. I am puzzled and can see no way on. of the trouble but to vote for the practical center. Every one seems to agree on where this is. I guess I must give up center and vote Weeping Water. CASS CENTRE. An Entire New Scheme. We have received from Mr. Geo. W. Woodlok, supposed to live in Lancas ter, an entirely new proposition for the relocation of the county seat of Cass County. The substance of Mr. Woodloks proposition is this: That he has nought the n. w. quarter of sec. 23, town 11, range 11, in Cass Co. Neb., or in other words the land lying in "the geographical center of Cass Co." He has laid the same out in a town called Cass Centre, consisting of lots, blocks, streets, alleys, public squares. &c, Af ter reserving block 34 for a Court House, and block 10, 10 and 28 for school purposes, he proposes to give every other block to the county, provid ed the county seat is located on this piece of ground. HE FCKTHERMOKK has deposited S5.000 with Jno. II. ('lark, of the First National Bank of Lincoln as a guarantee of good faith, together with a warranty deed of the lots he proposes to give the county, said Clark to hold the same until after election; when if tlie county seat of Cass Coun ty should be located at "Cass Centre," the said Clark will pav the i?3,000 and cause the deed to be transferred to the Treasurer of Cass Countv. We append the receipt of Mr. Clark for the money. Lincoln-, Neb., May 4th, 1878. Received from Geo. AV. Woodlok five thousand dollars on deposit, to hold this nmney iu my possession until af ter election, and if Cass Centre is elect ed as county se.it, for me to pay the ahve amount ov er to tlie Treasurer of Cass Co., and if not elected to return this money to G. W. Woodlok after election. (Copy) Jxo. R. Clakk. Note: We do not give Mr. Wood lok's proposition verbatim, because it is long, and a portion of it almost il legible. We received a copy of his bond, the deed, and Mr. Clark's receipt, as stated above. No plat of the town has been filed as yet with the County Clerk. Plat tsmon th Notes. Mr. Ed. Allow me to offer you a few notes on the Flattsmouth side of this question. The less said about that three-fifths petition the better; many that are put down as signing it never did sign it. and others signed it to get rid of the boring of those who carried it round, and never mean to vote for Weeping Water, and still oth ers do not reside on the town and sec tion represented and are not legal vo ters to-day in the county. On a square estimate of the actual cost to the coun ty were the county seat removed to Weeping Water or Center, I beg leave to offer the following computation and defy its refutation: Take jury fees alone. Tipton, certain, has the most cause to complain of any precinct in the county as far as distance is concern ed. Yet look at the real justice to the rest of the county when expenses come in to play. Tipton sends 2 jurors to the county seat, to Flattsmouth City 12. The 2 jurors travel 40 miles each, or 80 miles, at present. Let us change the county seat to Weeping Water, and 12 Flattsmouth jurors travel 22 miles, or 44 miles each, making 528 miles of travel the county (and the whole coun ty, mind,) has to pay for. Flattsmouth precinct has 6 jurors to these 2, and they would travel 252 miles to 80 miles the county now pays for. This is why the time has not come. The eastern precincts .all foot up the same way, and it is equally true with every other expense of the coun ty, and to drag a county seat miles away from a railroad and a telegraph, in this day and generation is an injus tice and a fraud, I don't care who ad vocates it or what his personal inter ests are. It is well known that old man Reed is a monomaniac on the county seat ques tion. In '58, twenty years ago, he was working on this thing when the oldest se'tler came here. He came here with his mania. Finding it was no use in Cass County he left for Seward. Un successful there he returns to Cass, and I, for one, object to having Cass Coun ty saddled with the expense of his va garies any longer. At the proper time and when it really accommodates the whole people of the county, we will cheerfully help move it to some prop er point, and not till then. ru IS IT CURABLE? fTlHOSE vho haro suffered from tlie virion od J. complicated forms of dieeitse assumed by Ca tarrh, and have tried many physician and reirw die without relief or cure, await the answer to this) Question with cousiderable anxiety.
