The Republican charges Chancellor
Fairfield with trying to have Trof.
Aughey superceded in the faculty at

strong hold on the affectiens of Uia
people and it seems to us that weuld
be an unwise task.
If we called Ho vey any name that

of it; fer he evidently did his little
meanest te us. At the same time, eld
man, remember the Herald is resren

"Mr. Spurgcon, it is said, in walking
a little way out of London to preach,
chanced to get some laud ou his panta
loons. A friend desiied te get i brush
and take off soma of the mud. 'Oh,
ne.'said ilr. Spurgeon, 'don't you bee
it's wet, and if you try to brush it now
you wiil rub the sUiu into the cloth?
Let it dry; when it will cntne off easy
enough aud leave no mark.' So, when
men speak evil of -us faUfely threw
mud at us don't be in a hurry about
brushing it off. Too great eagerness
to rub it off is apt to rub it in. Let it
dry ; bye-and-bye, if need Lo, a little
effort will remove it."
We havn't time to ftop ad brtuh
Mr. Ujvey's mud otf that he "threw
last week, if we had the desire. Let it
dry and it wi'.l drop off. We just waut
to make a plaia s'ateaseiit of alT iiis.
This Spring, tht City Council, by and
with the advice of many citizen-, de
termined t make a strong effort to
kettle o:ir indebtedness aud put our
City finances on a more economical
footing; in order to harmonize matters,
and that the citizens might feel that
they had xart and'p'U'cel in the settle
ment if one was made, an advisory
Committee ef citizens, outside of the
Council, was appointed to act with aud
aid the City Otllcials. It was not ex
pected they would receive pay and
there is no authority ia law to pay
them. As we were all interested in
the settlement and it was a bensfit to
all tax-papers, if accomplished, it was
suppesed that any Committee f this
kind would have public spirit enough
to serve free of expense. Whether
the work turned out arduous ernot;
these were the facts at tha time of ap
pointment. The work was done, the
settlement, including the right of way.
Ac, is said to be successful; all honor
to the Mayor, the Couacil, the Commit
tee for all they havo doue towards it.
They deserve, should have, and ne
doubt will receive the thanks of this
community fer their services. The oth
er day the Chairman of tho Citizen's
Committee, one of the richest men in
town, presented the Council with a bill
of $10, for services on this committee.
It is safe to say the Mayor, the Coun
cil aad citizens who ascertained the
fact were astouis ied. A citiz9a, a
taxpayer, aad a City Ouicial brought
the Mehald a communication on the
subject. He was responsible, reliable,
and the XZehald published it. Thi
c;ti.eu whtt signed himself "1'iuafere"
moreover stated that tho Chairman
above mentioned, never did a dollar's
worth of work in the Committee."
Without entering into the mstter at
all and without mentioning any nauiei
the Herald knowing the facts at the
appointment of the Committee, made
a few comments. It struck us at o:ice
that it was an absurd aad as unwise
thing to do, because ia the first place
if th is man was entitled to S10, Joseph
W. Johnson was entitled to present a
bill for at least S200. Also other mem
bers of the Council whe had perform
ed more or less extra werk. The aggre
gate would be an amount that would
look foelish from a cemmunity that
were asking charity, almost, of their
creditors. Secondly, the B. & -d. or
other creditors might and very preb
ably would very justly say well, if
your citizens want pay for work that
will save thorn dollars ef taxes, while
yoo are asking us to remit fifty per
cent of your indebtedness, and you can
pay such bills, pay us dollar for dollar
and that would end the compromise.
We did net know the names of the
Committer, could have no personal
feeling in the matter, did not naention
Mr. Dovey's name, nor his bnsines?,
nor whether he ever sat down on a
hot cooking stove, or seld good3 too
high, or how God made him, or his
family, or anything that would war
rant the torrent of personal abuse he
twice poured on Mr. MacMurphy, Ed
itor of this paper, through the Eater
prise; and, he had no more right inor
rally nor legally to drag MacMurphy's
name into the controversy than we
would have to now drag the Rev. Mr.
Baird's in.
Our comments were made in respec
fcl language without malice, in our
proper sphere of Journalism, to pro
tect and inform tho public ef what
was goiug on and we will do the same
again though all the Dovey's the world
ever saw ebject.
That we were right, that public and
official opinion sustain us, we append
the report of the City Council on these
bills acted on last Saturday night. It
completely justiQes the Herald and
relieves us from any charge of malice
or desire to attack the character f
any one:

"The Finance Committee woald re
port on bills of I'erchasing Committee
(appointed to procure grounds for R.
R. shops and right ef way for West
approach to R. R. bridge as per agree
ment with B. & M. 11. R. Company,)
that while the services have beon
rendered and are of real value to the
city, yet in order to effect a settlement
with our creditors that would relievo
the city of its financial embarrasments
and our people of tho burdens of ex
cessive taxation, and thus secure the
growth and prosperity of the city, it
was necessary that a great deal of
work Vie done, and much has already
been dene without direct compensatioii
In the appeintment of this committee
by the Cenncil and committee of citi
zens, it was as we think understood
oy iko council mai ina gentlemen ap
pointed would give their services in
this matter, as others had done, with
out charge, in consideration of the
financial condition of the city aad the
ol j?ct to accomplished by their as-fci.t.-.nee,
n-: l believing that on reflec
tion the members of this committee
would themselves so decide we re
commend that their bills be respect

We respectfully submit to the read
ers f this paper whether it is calcula
ted to increase the honesty or the fear
lessness of the press, if for a frank,
honest criticism, couched in moderate
and decent language, mentioning r.o
name, attacking no mi.n's character or
private bussicess, the Editor must sub
mit to such a dose wf slush as the En
terprise allowed in its columns. Is it
conducive to a healthy public senti
ment and do you propose te endorse it?
Though we should no: havo called
attention to this point but for the
abase heaped upon us, we further sub
mit that Mr. Dovey has never answer
ed Mr. "Pinafore's" (not ours) charges;
never denied the fact3 that he present
ed the bill and did wA do the work,
and he stands self convicted before
this community, thus far, as having
tried to gonge this people oat of ten
dollars for work never dene, and that
with all his pretensions to reform and
economy, he. looks very hyprocritical.

.The election of Maine has resulted
in a more decided republican victory
than that of California. Wo have not
3pace to give the dotails but publish
part of theteli'gram from Ja. G. Blaine
summarizing the result,
lion. Win. B. A!lion, Dubuque. Inwa :
"The result of to-day's election may
be britliy summed thus. Ilavs carried
by a large majority thu hou.;e of repra
sontati ves au i a majority oftliesenate
apparently, though noc certainly. Yo
have given our candidate for governor
a plurality of more than :J,000 vo'.os
over the greenoacl: candidate an I -10,-000
over the dom icratic candidate.
Whether we have given him an abso
lute majority over both will only be
determined by further returns and
possibly bv the o'fieial count. On joint
ballot in the legislature we shall have
a large majority, thus controlling the
executive coaneil and election of all
state officers. The majority against
us last year wasover 13.000, equivalent
to (10,003 majority in Illinois, to 80,030
in Pennsylvania, or to 100.000 in Xew
York, To overcome this enormous
majority in an off year was of course
a dirlicalt task, and oar republicans
fesl they have mtde a sl?ndid fight,
with the mast gratifying remits.

convention.
Th3 ticks!, is a go 1 one, asd the re
public ins feel confident of carrying
the stato.
The N". Y. press speaks a? follows of
the ticket.
NSW TOIIK TICKET.
2Tow that the Convention had decid
ed t he question of the candidacy, tho
general sentiment of the prees and peo
ple is that the issues involved in this
election are National, overshowing men
or personal preferences, and than the
Republicans, united and with a strong
platform, muit make overy effort for
success. If the candidates will inspire
enthusiasm, the great iutercst3 at stake
must do so. The Democratic press ex
press pleasure at Cornell's nomination,
but recognize that the Republican par
ty in Now York is undivided, aud
must be met with a hard contest. Mr.
Cornell is given all recognition pos
sible as an organier, and, aside from
tho resources of the machine, he will
have Senator Conkling's aid. The Sen
ator has taken tho canvass upon him
self, and will make "th greatest effort
of his life" for the election of tho tick
et he yesterday nominated. Judge
llobertsou, Cornell's most formidable
opponent, has been offered a chairman
ship of a State committee, llis ans
wer has not yet been made.
The California Flection.
It is now conceded that the Republi
cans of California have substantially
won the election, although Kalloch,
Mayor in San Francisco, is elected.
Parties havo been broken up there a
great deal lately, and all shndas of
opinions were supposed to be repre
sented on the various tickets which
were headed ?s follows: For governor.
Rep., Perkins; Dem., Glenn; Working
men's party, Wra. F. White; New Con
stitution party, Glenn (Dem); Prohibi
tion party, Clark.
For Congress the Republican csndi
dntes were: Messrs. Davis, Page, Mc-
Keuna and Paeheo. Perkins, Gov., is
elected by 15 to 20,000 plurality, and
Pege, Pacheo, and McKenna, Rep. Con
gressman are elected with a passiblity
of Davis; thus insuring a Republican
victory next year and reducing the
democratic imjority in Congress. Tho
state legislature will be far from dem
ocratic, and tho city government pasa
out of tne hands of the honorable bilk
and democracy. A check and guard
on Dennis Kearney and the radical up
rcoters of everything is thus insured,
which will undoubtedly tend to make
California a more reliable state, politi
cally, in tho future.

Uumseller's Proposal of Copartnership
to the Devil.
Deah Sir: I havo opened apart
ments, fitted up v.'ith all tha entice
ments"of luxury, for the sale of rum,
braady, gin, wine, beer and all their
compounds. Our objects, though dif
ferent, can be best attained by united
action. I therefore propose a copart
nership. All I want ef men is their
money. All else shall be yours,
Uring me the industrious, the sober,
the respectable, and I will return them
to you drunkards, paupers and beggars.
Uring me the child, and I wiil dash
to earth the dearest hopes of father
and mother.
Dring me tho father and the mother
and I will plant discord between them,
and make them a curse and a reproach
to their children.
Uring ise the young man, and I will
ruin his character, destroy his health,
shorten his life, and blot out tho high
est an l purest hopes of youth.
Uring me the mechanic or the labor
er, and his own money the hard earn
ed fruits of his toils shall be made to
plant poverty, vice and ignorance in
his once happy home.
Uring me tho warm-hearted sailor,
and I will send him on a lee shore, and
make shipwreck of all fond hearts
forrver-more.
Uring me tho professed follower of
Christ, and I will blight and wither
every devotional feeling of his heart.
I will corrupt t life ministers of religion,
and defile the purity of the church.
Uring me the patronage of th city,
and of the courts of justice lot th
magistrates of the State and the Uii
isn become my patrons let the law
makers themselves meet at my table
and paiticipate in violations of law,
and the name of law shall become a
hissing and a byword in tho streets.
Bring me, above all, tha moral re
spectable man. If po.-sible, bring the
moderate temperance man, though lie
mar nut drink, yet his present's will
countenance the pretexts under which
our business must ! masked. Uring
him to our stoics, oyster salooas, eat
ing houses an 1 hotels, a:id tho more
timid of our victims will enter wit!

Certainly their tlar.ger
as thrit of young xa-nt ;
are i:i '.ls danger is
clear, since many women are drunk
ards. I met with a sad record of one
such the other day.
A young lady of leapectablc parent
age and superior education left, the
Sunday school at au early iige, and
was married to a very worthy man.
Ha thought he had won a prize in tho
marriage lottery, bat to his dismay he
found that it was a costly blank. He
discovered th.t his youug wife was a
necre) drunkard.
This was a terrible discovery. With
all the skill and tenderness of a faith
ful and affectionate husband he tried
to cure her, but in vain. The fatal u
petite grew stronger and stronger, un
til what had been a secret habit be
came an open one. She craved drink
as the one great object of her desires.
She pawned clothing, food and furni
ture to procure it. At the ago of twenty-six
she found herself ntterly con
sumed by the fiery liquid, and browght
to the duor of death. II if tiling all reli
gious consolation, she died and filled a
drunkard's grave.
Young lady, all this took place in a
woman's life. It began in sips of wine.
It terminated in hopeless death. As
you dread the latter beware of the
former. Let tho wine-cup alono. S.
S. Journal.
Remember the Drunkard.
Can not ministers of Christ agree to
preach moro frequently and more earn
estly against drunkenness aud the dan
gers of the cup? From many pulpits
this whole subject is practically ex
cluded. Tho druukard is rarely pray
ed for; the young not warned against
this ensnaring device of the devil; the
law of God against drunkenness is
substantialy ignored! And yet it is un
deniable that the bottle is sending
mere souls to perdition than all th
infidel tongues and pens in the land.
We utter no railing against our breth
ren who ignore this stupendous moral

"What ought to bo done with a Chris
tian thatsigES a petition for a saloon ?"
We reply, first, that a Christian
don't do anything of that kind. A
wolf in sheep' clothing might do so,
but a Christian could not. The differ
ence between the man who prays for
a dram shop, and the dram peddler, is
just the same as the difference between
the raan who commits forgery and tho
man who is accessory to it. If the
dram-peddlar does, the man who signs
his petition is party to all of his wrong.

Concluded from Flrt ra;e.l
Sunday morning we attended the
Episcopal church, and saw what to oar
Eastern friends would have been a cu
rions sight. Tha church was crowded
and scattered among the congregation
were at least fifteen or twenty Indians,
The choir of young boys and girls
contained two or three who bore
the unmistakable Indian physiog
nomy, while with it mingled
the manners and civilization of
the white race. They were the chil
dren of a half breed who has tilled his
farm and brought up his family in a
most commendable manner. Up in a
corner sat live or six dus'tiy children
of the 1'onca tribe who pat to shams
by their good behavior the white chil
dren who sat not far from them. "We
afterwards learned that they attended
the Sunday Schosl regularly, and not
being able to master their Indian names
their teacher had bestowed upon thorn
her's, the pastors wife's, and the names
of the numerous family of which the
writer is a humble me tube., but as the
familiar names were responded to by
the littlo copper colored aborigines we
discovered that absence had caused our
cognomen to bo forgotten, and no dus
ky maiden answered to it. Our regret
can be imagined. In one of the back
seats sat Standing Bear's brother and
one or two other braves, and I y the
door stood rt squaw with a papoo.se up
on her back and a little girl be3ide
her; she sosmed drawn thither br tho
music, and was fmaliv induced to come
in and sit dowa, although with seem
ing reluctance. The pastor the church
Rev. Mr. Jacob, has been among the
Poncas and induced them to come to
Church, and in addition i3 teaching
a clasi of the children of Standing Uear
and some others dariug the week.
Another minister, Rev. Mr. Dorsey,
who is at present residing upon the
Omaha Reservation and collecting
statistics of their language, customed,
etc., has done a great deal among them.
On our way up ts Deo.itur from To

of wag.nu driven by Indians, aud fia

We called to s?e Ucnry Fonter.elia
who lives upon the confines of the res
ervation adjoining Decatur, but did
not find him at home. The rsuU3 of
his industry wcra apparent to us how
ever in his well tilled farm, and the
saw mill which he had erected near
the Missouri river, the Government al
lowing him to crft and saw all the tim
ber which he can S'.'!l up;n tho Reser
vation. In addition to his mill there are two
saw mills in active operation iu Deca
tur, and the owner of one 01 them in
formed us that within the past year
and a half hamJ his p trtner had made
about ton thousand dollars in it. A
great portion of this lumber g-es west
ia the L'tgan i.i;u uvea ths Llkhorn
valleys, and it speaks well for the bus
iness of Docatur, which has g-nerally
been considered a pretty dea 1 town,
but which despito its lack of railroad
facilities and the competition of Tka
mali sixteen miles below, the present
termiuus of tho Omaha and Neb. N.
R. R., has proved to havo a good
deal of life by growing soaie each year,
and doing under the circumstances a
really astonishing amount of bussiness.
Should the predictions prove true
which wo heard on every haad, and
by parties not intt'r'-stod in the town,
that within a year an eastern road
will strike tho river at that point, one
gentleman oven going so far ns to sav
that a bridge will bs built, Decatur
will have its reward for many years ef
impatient waiting and will m ike a fine
little city. We heartily wish them the
utmost measure 01 success tney can
wish, and shall be satisSed to take ur
share of the benefits in traveliug be

Spsod the day.
Some sixteen railos west of Decatur
in the Logan Valley is Oakland, a thriv
ing little town, ivhich, after the failure
of Burt County to vote additional
bends to the O. & N. N. R. R. to move
from Tekamah, gave it sufficient in
ducements to como to them, to set the
dirt flying both at Tekamak and Oak
land, with the prouiiio of being in
running order before winter sets in.
This is doubtless the beginning of
largely increased railroad facilities for
that section of Nebraska which hereto
fore k;i3 been behind the rest of the
state but will now with correspond
ingly rapid advaaecj soon inke up
what it has lost. Tho- splendid farm
ing lands of the Missouri bottom
which ia Durt County are all the way
from half a mile to five miles wide and
just as level as a floor; and of the
Logan Valley, equally fertile and beau

tially developed for tho want of rail
