Omaha has 31,000; 4.103; Lincoln, 14,000. Plattsmouth, A veky good picture of Garfield can be obtained for 30 cts. at this office. Remember the Republican meeting at Taylor's school house, on Saturday night. What is says about thusly. that the Chicago Times Hancock? It can't be Jno. A. Dix, Post 52, G. A. R., at Blair, had 111 charter members and it took nearly all night to instal them. That boy tlrat played Hancock Sat urday must feel bad now. when ho hears the sad tale of his misfortune. Seventeen years ago last Saturday Gen. Hancock dispersed a democratic 3d of July meeting at Gettysburg, Pa. To-day they are singing peans in his praise. Cuddy's got a baby Girl born Weduesday, June 30th, and he's so happy he don't know what to do. Give it to us, Cuddy. It's a Printer anyway. If J are Black furnishes the brains for Hancock, who'll furaish the other pertiens of his anatomy the Chicago Times speaks of? Democrats, don't all "holler" at once I Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut, has been elected chairman of the dem ocratic National Committee. What's that old adage about throwing Jewells before S traight out Democrats? The Boston nerald sas that Mrs Hancock is in favor of light wines, and the General looks as though this was a fact. His face indicates that he is not a prohibitionist. The White House with the Hancock family there would be likely to do away with the Mrs. Hayes refoini in this respect. Lincoln Globe. The nomination of Hancock is sim ply a confession of judgment in favor of the Republican party. It virtually 8ays we were right, and the Rebellion wrong. Their best "holt" for Hancock was that his nomination would pre vent a bloody shirt campaign. Anoth confession of judgment that there was something in the bloody shirt, and that they cannot stand another campaign on that basis. English, a hard money National banker, is another confession that tho financial policy of the Republicans, to which they have stuck through thick and thin, is right. Judgment again. As the Railroad bridge is near com pletion, many will want to know its exact dimensions and manner of build ing. While it is fresh in our mind we give, from notes furnished us by com petent persons, an exact description of its parts, length, height, approaches, and everything conuected with its building, of a public nature, and that will be of interest in the future. Subscribers should preserve this pa per, as these statistics are of great val ue, questions of length of bridges, ap proaches, etc., coming up every day to be settled by some authority. This is probably the only accurate and correct detail description of the bridge yet written. Scientific Kxploratioti. Having obtained leave tf His Ex cellency, Rutherford 13., and consent of the Smithsonian Institute, we are about to organize a corps of explorers to proceed to develop a fund of in formation of a scientific nature, that will astonish and relieve the curiosity of the world. -This expedition will consist of a number of people, if not more. At the head will be Prof. Findoutanything- youwantoknow, of the Smithereen Unive. sity. In collusion with the corps will be Sup't Torus Pollock, of the U. t .it ;il - a. ourveyor-utMienw s mce, wun maps and charts; Serg't Bradley and twelve horse marines, as a mounted guard to prevent attacks from newspaper re porters and other wild animals. Dr. Livingston will furnish the scientific vocabulary needed, and a full chest of rhubarb and ipecac; also a small kettle of young trout for bait. Capt. rainier offers the contents of his cabinet of precious stones to aid our plans. A. B. Smith says, if the B. & M. 11 give hiui a pass, he'll go along to tako care of Palmer, and other fellows that keep glass houses, but will throw stones, &c. Prof. Aughey will be attached to this corps. Prof. Wilber will give us his blessing. Gov. Nance, with his military staff, will accompany the pre cession part of the way. Si Alexander says we can have any militia company in the State, if we'll pay tkeir board. Judge Cobb will send a Habeas Corpus along with us. Bre. Gere will take short-band notes of our discoveries, and daily telegrams will be sent to Dr. Childs and Professor Tice of our pro gress ! ! ? The object of this important and highly organized body will be: To discover the whereabouts of the dry season that was going to ruin all our crops this year. Incidentally the corps will make ex periments to ascertain how much of Nebraska is really in the rain belt, and to see if we can't move the rain fur ther Jiast. Also, to hunt up one "Phileo." and ask him to act as prophet, guide and philosopher to future expeditions of the same nature. Garfield's Vindication. We give from the N. Y. Tribune Bummary of the charges against Gen Garfield and tljeir refutation. We select this source because the Tribune has been a "reform" paper of late years, and has criticized the lie publican party mercilessly since Gree ley's last unfortunate disaster. If it then, pronounces these charges false no. Republican need fear to have them met and answered. These charges, which the surpassing excellence ot the Chicago nomination iorceii democrats to ran back upon as their only weapon, are seven-years-old charges. Gen. Gartield has been tried upon deliberately and exhaustively; tried when the witnesses were all alive, when the whole American people were aroused and attentive to every minute detail, when the facts were all before them, as in the glare of a calcium light; tried after, not before an election. when even partisans become critical and suspicious, and every influence tended to the severest judgment. He was tried before the most conscien tious and the most exacting jury in the United States, the serious. God fearing voters of the old Joshua R Giddings congressional district in Ohio, They set Giddings aside on suspicion They demanded Garfield's own resig nation on the first report that by a sin gle vote out of a long series he had given incidental aid to the Salary Grab. 1 hey tolerate no moral flaw in their representative. The case was first heard fully under oath in Washington. Then their representative was brought back face to face with them. They heard him through. They heard all his opponents could say heard it with in finitely more precision than is possible now-, after the lapse or time, the death of witnesses, the loss of color and de tail. Then they sat upon the case. The result was a verdict ef acquittal. They 6ent heii representative back to con gress by an overwhelming majority; they have kept him there ever since. and they have increased their majori ty for him every time they have had a chance to vote for him. To-day her re presents the Giddings district in con gress by one or the largest majorities that any congressman in the United States can boast f ! More even than that ! His most con spicuous opponent in Ohio was the Hon. Allen C. Thurman, then and now United States Senator from the State, then and now one of the foremost dem ocratic leaders, and a presidential can didate. After Gen. Garfield had been heard, Senator Thurman went out of his way in a partisan speech on the stump in the campaign, to declare that the evidence showed no wrong-doing on Garfield's part. Still more ! There was no bitterer democratic newspaper in tne united states man tne only morning paper of that party then pub lished in this city, the N. Y. World. That journal quoted Senator Thur man's manly reference to Garfield, ap proved the sentiment and applauded the utterance. Still more ! The most conspicuous democrat in private life then er now residing at the capitol, as well as one of the bitterest partisans in the country, was Judge Jeremiah S. Black. Of his own motion, without any solicitation or any reason save his own ro?nly sense of justice and fair play. Judge Black wrote a letter for publication, declaring Garfield abso lutely blameless. A gentleman at Washington, a Democrat, in speaking of the presiden tial campaign, put the matter in its right light when he said it will be a contest between a West Pointer and a voluntesr soldier; between a man born in the midst of aristocratic surround ings in a family of influence, and a man born among the people; between a man fed and educated by the govern ment and who is a mere soldier, al though a man of valor, and a man who lias fought his way to the front through hard knocks, and who has now a reputation throughout the civ ilized world as an eminent statesman as well as a bravo and distinguished volunteer soldier. The Democrats have chosen an aristocrat, one who has al ways been an army officer, to contest for the great prize with a man who has risen from the humblest classes, who taught himself to read and write after he was sixteen years of age, and who has poshed himself by his own merits to the front rank, both as a cit izen and statesman. tEx. The American team came off victo rious again in the great Irish-American shoot in Ireland. Distance 800, 000 and 1,000 yards. Tie on first, and latter tw leing won by Americans by 436 to 428, and "420 to 417, respectively. The IMatUmoutli Bridge. This structure is now being built across the Missouri River, about a mile bolow the city of Plattsmouth, Neb. It forms the connecting link between the Iowa and Nebraska divisions of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. The whole length of tho work is about three and one quarter miles, of which more than two miles is in the East approach; one mile is in tho West approach, and the permanent bridge is just throo thousand feet long. Tho East approach consists of First, an embankment one and one-half miles long, of uintty thousand cubic yards. This is on the Iowa bottom land, and is from Qvo to tfenty-fivo foet high. It is partly on a level and partly on a rising grade of one per cent, towards the bridge. Second, a temporary wooden trestle, two thousand feet long, in one hun dred spans ef twenty feet each, also built on a one. per cent grade. The West approach consists of First, a side hill embankment, about one-half mile in length, crossing two small ravines drained by arch eulverts. Second, a cut one-half mile long, ranging to eighty-five foet maximum depth. In the deepest part of the cut a temporary line, with curves of two hundred and fifty feet radius, has been adopted. The material lying between this aud the permanent slopes is to bo used in filling the wooden trestle on the East approach. The bridge proper consists of two through spans of four hundred feet each, ever the' main river; three deck spans of two hundred feet each, over the adjacent sand bar, and fifteen hun dred and sixty feet of iron viaduct, of which fourteen hundred and forty feet in forty-eight spans ef thirty feet each are on the east side. The five main spans rest on six piers numbered in order from the West shore, and are briefly described as fol lows: Pier One on the west shore is found ed on the rock, thirty feet below low water mark, excavatiou being made in an open coffer-dam, through blue clay and boulders. This coffer-dam was fill ed with beton and rubble -stone, and masonry was begun at two feet below low water. Pier two, in the middle of the river, is founded on the rock, thirty two and ono half fett below low water, by sinking a pneumatic caisson, twenty one by fifty-one feet, through about fifteen feet of sand. This caisson was surmounted by a timber crib work, lied with beton, and masonry was be gun at two feet below low water. l'ier three, on the oast shore, is founded en the rock fifty two feet be low low water, in a similar way to Pier two. the chief difference being the greater depth of sand lying on the bed rock. Masonry was begun i little over six feet below low water. Piers one, two and three are of the same general form, their tops finish at a height of sixty two feet above low water. Under the coping courses, they measure eight by thirty-three feet, the ends being semi-circles of four feet radius. They are built with a batter of one half inch per foot on sides and ends. At thirty four feet below the. coping courses, the ends are changed to a pointed form, the lines being arcs of circles struck from points seven feet apart. At the foot of the batter ed work tho piers are thirteen ty forty four feet. Ofisett courses increase this size in the bases of piers two and three. These three piers are of first class rock faced masonry, laid in Portland cement and backed with beton. Pier Four is founded on the rock fifty-four feet below low water, by sinking a pneumatic caisson, eighteen by forty feet, through sixty-live feet of sand. The masonry of this pier begins one foot above low water, the interme diate height between it aud the cais son being made up ef a crib filled with beton. Pier five rests upon seventy-eight piles driven inside of a crib eighteen by forty feet, to an average penetra tion of thirty feet below low water. These piles are capped with a gril lage and surrounded inside the crib with beton. and the masonry is begun ut low water. Piers four and five measure seven by twenty seven feet under the copings, have semi-circular ends and are about thirty feet high. They are of first- class, rock faced masonry with rubble backing and are laid in Portland ce ment. - Pier six, is founded on concrete. three feet thick and twelve feet wide by thirty-three feet long. The masonry is similar to piers four and rive, but is only six feet thick under the coping. Piers three, four, five and six carry THE THREE DECK SPANS. These are each two hundred feet long between centres of end pins, thirty feet high aud sixteen feet wide between centers of chords. They are Pratt trusses with single intersection webs and inclined end posts, and have each eight panels of twenty-five feet. The floor beams rest on the top chords and the track stringers are riveted to the webs of the floor beams. There s a grade of one half of one per cent on these spans, made by placing each span at a different elevation, thu sec ond and third being respectively one ind two feet higher than the first, and the grade in each span being made by varying the depth f the floor beams on the chord. The third span rests in recesses left at the proper elevation in the masonry of pier three. The two hundred feet spans are entirely of iron except the pins, which are steel. Piers one. two, and three carry the TWO FOUR HUNDRED FEET SPANS. These are each four hundred feet long between centers of end pins, fifty feet high, and twenty-two feet wide between centers of chords. They are pin connected, Pratt or Whipple truss es with ipclined end posts, the web being arranged with double intersec tions. Each span has sixteen panels of twfntv-five feet. The ties are in wo lengths and couple on pins pass- ng through tho centers of the posts. Attached to tho pins at the middle of he posU,a strut extends between each pair or posts ana a system of diag onal wind bracing connects -these struts with the top lateral struts. The middle of each inclined end post is supported by a horizontal lattice work strut which reaches to the first verti cal post. The flor beams are riveted to the posts immediately above the bottom chord and act as later.il struts, the lateral ties being coupled on pins passing through jaw nuts, screwed on to the ends of the lower chord pins. The stringers are riveted to tho webs of the floor beams. In these trussses the top and bottom chords, inclined end posts, main and counter ties, lateral rods, pedestals, rollers and all chord and lateral pins are of steel. The intermediate posts, end suspenders, lateral struts, portals, stringers and floor beams are of iron. Tho floor system is uniform n the iron viaduct and on the five spans. The track stringers are spaced nine feet be tween centers. On these rest nine by nine oak ties, spaced fifteen inches apart centers. These are generally twelve feet long locked by ten by ten oak guard rails, placed ou the ends of the ties. At five feet intervals, ties six teen feet long project, carrying a loot walk of two-ir.ch oak plank on each side; and at twenty-rive fuet :n tervals, eighteen feet ties are inserted to carry au iron stanchion, through which will pass a wire cable for a hand rail. Between the rails are placed two four by five inch angle irons for inner guard rails, bolted to each tie and dis tant six inches from each rail.

June 30, 18S0. Ed. Herald: I have seen a few lines from Mt. Pleasant, lately, I think not all correct. In last week's Herald it says " all, or nearly all, beloug to the temperance society, whilst a good many have joined at different times." Our Good Templar's lodge is in rather bad circumstances; no place to hold lodge. Our school directors are oppos ed to the Order, and take the authori ty upon themselves to forbid them the use of the school house. There has been some trouble in the lodge, during the winter and spring, that lias injured it. The meeting of the County Sabbath School Convention, on the 13th tfc 16th was well attended from the different schools of the county, and the discus sions of the different subjects were good. Mrs. Beach, of Weeping Water, conducted or taught a model class; it was well done, and caused considera ble merriment. Crops are looking tine generally; are about done plowing corn, which bids fair for a heavy yield. Wheat is very cood now, and will be over an average crop if favorable weather holds a little longer; it is filling well and is pretty heavily strawed. Oats and bailey fair. Fruit is only fair; the bait and winds injured it. Farmers seem t be ingod spirits. Mt. Pleasant is not doing anything towards celebrating ourNational birth day. Tho M. E. church have the Quar terly meeting for Mt. Pleasant Circuit July 3d and 4th. Republicans here are very well pleas ed with their candidates for President and Vice President; we think we have a strong team, if they are dark horses. Mr. A. Currant has been quite sick, but is now mending. Lewis Bird has bought Mrs. Fravil's farm; she has moved out south of Eight Mile Grove, and is now living with her son-in law. Theo. Carroll. Health generally good here. Mt. Pleasant. From Liberty. July 3d, 1880. A large and enthusiastic crowd gath ered in Mrs. Chilcott's beautiful grove near Union 1. O., for the purpose of celebrating the grand old day in 18S0. Messrs. B. Hathaway and Henry Chil cott were tha first upsn the grounds, preparing ta dish up the ice cream, the ice-cold lemonade, candies, etc. They were soon followed by a long proces sion of buggies, wagons and horsemen. The Marshal of the day, Jehu M:inn, managed this large body of jteople very skillfully, and had the Iwst of order, for which he deserves much credit. The time intervening this and 10 a. m. was spent in happv social communion, after which Mr. W. B. Davis called the attention of tlie multitude by making a few appropriate remarks, and closed by introducing Mr. J Cory, who read the Declaration. Mr. C. is a fine schol ar, and his reading was highly appro ciated by all. Then followed music by Miss Clara fewan, who perlormed eu the organ, accompanied by vocal music by Misses Lottie Hiithaway, Alice Graves, Flor ence E. Davis, Ida and Ethel Freeman Mr. and Mrs. Barrows, and Mr. Cory. lion. u. X oster came next on pro gramme, whoso qualifications and rep utation as an orator are too well known to need comment. Music by Miss Fannie P. Davis on orran and E. P. Davis on violin. Speech by Mr. t G. Donge. Music by Miss Fannie Da vis and Thomas Pavne on organ and violin. Dinner was then announced. an account ot which we will not at tempt, but simply say that none went away hungry. Mr. Sylvester C. Hathaway waited upon the ladies at the candy stand. His cheerful voice and pleasant smiles made many a fair lady's heart beat faster as she received the dainties from his hand. During the afternoon Mr. Walker Jones' two little daughters played and sang many pieces; they are 10 and 12 years of age, and did splendidly. This was followed by toasts and speeches from many present. Among the many faces present we noticed the following: Chas. Swan, Mr. and Mrs. Douge, Mr. and Mrs. It. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. McCarroll. Mr and Mrs. L. P. Hathaway, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hathaway, Mr. and Mrs. Barrows, Mr. and Mrs. II. F. Taylor, and many others. Later in the afternoon some of the muscular young men amused a large portion of the crowd with wrestling, jumping, etc. Alfred Hathaway and L. P. Hathaway carried off tho honors in the games. This ended the day's fun, and all went home feeling sorry the Fourth came only once a year. Burnie. From Afton. Afton, Neb., July 3. Ed. Herald: As hail stories seem to be all the go now, here is our con tribution. I will premise by saying that it is from an eye witness, who has just left my office. The storm occurred last Tuesday ev ening, some tun miles up this enjek. Dressed lunber, such as drop siding, and stock lumber, was split and brok en. A bunch of window sash with glass in, and with boards nailed across was broken in pieces. Hail was forced through two thicknesses of sod on the roof; only the timbers stopped the huge stones, for they were huge. The stove pipe was cut as if by an ax, and the holes In the ground where the hail stones buried themselves and melted, were over nine inches across. My in formant is reliable. I think. Yours, E. S. Child. A story is told about f!ie way in "which Mr. Jay (ion hi makes me of the few social opportunities he enjoys. Be ing invited to a private dinner upon his recent return from the west, he de clared to a dozen or .so of gentlemen present that he had nia-.lo more money than he could pos.-ibly find uc for, and that the great object of his life henceforth would be to improve the great consolidated concern- which 118 now controls, and to place them on the basis ot solid, dividend-paying sccuri ties. He suggested, indirectly, tha Union Pacific would be the first to benefit by the new consolidated ar rangemcuts. Upon hearing this, au old gentleman present went next morn lug to his broker and bought one thousand shares of the stock at yj and a traction, lie had to sell it. out a lew davs later at S3. An exchange savs : A startling sur prise, after the fashion of the story of (iinevra, was experienced not long ago by a party or Styrian wood-cutters iu the forest of Drommling. They began to fell a venerable oak, which they soon discovered to be quite hollow. Being half decayed It speedily came to the ground with a crash, disclosing t skeleton in excellent preservation Even the boots, which came above the knee, were almost perfect. By its side wa9 a powder-horn, a porcelain pipe bowl, and a silver watch on which was engraved tho name, "11. von Ivracko witz, I Ms, 1 lie teeth were perfect.
