Senator Paddock will doliror tho address at the Saline Co. Pair, Crets.Sopt., 14, 13 and 16. Senator Saunders Speech at Oma ha was very encouraging to the Repub lican forces and outlook this year. Gen. Myers, "Old Probabilities,' is dead. Ho died at Buffalo, N. Y Aug. 23d, of Bright's disease and overwork. We acknowledge a "cemp" to the Salino County Fair, August 14. 15, 16. It's aboat the neatest stylo of card wo have had yet. Why should tho Germans take to Hancock, when it is said they refused to vote for Grant because he was a Military man. TVe are much obliged to our friends tor tending in the delegates so prompt ly. All but Avoca reached us by Tues day. We give as near a correct list as possible. Got. Nance has appointed Chancel lor Fairfield and Hon. S. II. Kaley of Bed Cloud as Commissioners to exam iao into reported destitution in the Republican Valley. It is said with truth that the speech es ef Gen. Garfield for the last twenty year would furnish a concise history of the time. What other candidate ever had such a record. Coi Hepbttkn in the 8th Iowa dis trict was nominated after 346 ballots (three days session) to succeed Col. Sap, and everyone says that "Pete Hepburn is the right man in the right place. Wjc are aware that Union Mills is new Factoryville P. O., at least, we have been told so; but we've got a lot f labels printed "Union Mills.' and none for Factoryville. Can't you let us two them up first? On the Situation. Candidly and seriously we want to say that, in spite of all silly rumours this Newspaper and this Editor have been strictly attending to their legiti mate duties, that we have not assumed to dictate or control any delegates, any primaries, any votes, what we have said and what we have done has been open, above board and in the paper. In all the time we have been here we have never espoused the cause cf one set of Republicans again3t anoth or before nomination, we have never mentioned supposed candidates before nomination, favorably or unfavorably, or meddled with the detail work of seleeting delegates, believing it to be the duty of a good paper to let the people through their proper delegates choose a ticket and then support it the best we could. In this instance, however, we have departed from that course somewhat, because we felt that the dissatisfaction with previous methods and their re sults was universal, or else the situa tion has been misrepresented to us. We freely expressed the opinion that certain nominations would be injudi cious and perhaps lose us the county. Furthermore we hoaestly aimed to arouse county and party pride to try and select good men that would do honor to the county. If the voters do not desire this and if ther want to gratify the small am bition of a few aspiring individuals at the expense of tbe party, it is their privilege to do so, and let affairs remain as they have been and Cass County still be a nonentity in the State. But we have maligned no individu als, written no letters, asked you to do nothing but what numbers mt people have said they wanted done and meant to do this fall. Having the burden of supporting tbe ticket publicly, as against the de mocracy, and defending the Republi can candidates, we havo asked you to act coolly, wisely, of your own judg ment and not be led by sectional jeal ousy, personal likings, or individual ambitions; pointing out fairly tho dangers in the way and the import ance to the county, the state and the party of securing a Republican Legis lature and a full Republican vote this fall. Feeling that we have thus done our duty, and it will be the voters' own fault if they make unwise selections and get beat, we shall abide the result as best we may. The odium falls on the shoulders of those who make the nominations, if they mako them hap hazard, without due care, and against the advice of sound thinking men, or the wishes of the real majority of the people, who have the final decision in their hands at the polls. It is not the Herald that has kicked. It is supposed to be the peo ple. We can stand almost any kind of politics that the rest can. This is the old Wheeler row over. They used to come to us and cuss Wheeler by the hour, and then they all turned in and voted for him. Now, you have been telling us for years that you don't want to be i tiled by rings, and won't, stand the one man or few men dictation any more, and we have voiced it. That's all. If you don't show that you mean it at this Convention, never ask us te help you again. Just swal low what you get hereafter, and be quiet. "It is reported on the street that Deacon Bushnell has gone back to the arms of Johnny MacMurphy, aad will support him first, last and all the time for State Senator, next Saturday at Weeping Water." Joe Connor in Tuesday's Enterprise. Of course this is all "poppycock" and belongs to the Hancock style of poli tics, that is to obtain by fraud what yeu can't get openly. It was intended for sarcasm, by our Hancockian friend who slyly slipped it on Mr. Bushnell's hook; but underlying it there is a les sor which for his and others' benefit we Bhall point. It has been a favorite scheme with local politicians of about the J. C. calibre, (both Republican and Democratic) when they could not use the Herald for their personal inter est to aid, abet and encourage, with their mouths, the starting of a News paper to run the Herald out, or "bust" the Republican party up. When Mr. Bushnell re-established the Enter prise out of the old Sentinel material there was great rejoicing among the Democrats and such so-called Republi cans at prefer to have their clique suc ceed rather than the party triumph. The "Deminy's," sail: "Two Repub lican papers, and only one Democratic, we've got 'em" and faction loving "Reps." quoted "now we've got Mac, if he don't come to time and do what we want, we'll go over to Bushnell and make that the Republican paper." Un fortunately (for them) small bore pol iticians frequently propose, but News papers properly conducted, dispose of events. "So it is" (as Wade Hampton says) that it happpens that instead of the Newspapers doing your quarrel ing, as usual, we have let the job out this time for you to do ours. "So it is" that-while above us, be low us and west of us the Newspaper faction 3 are running red with gore and acid with bile, here in Cass, two Re publican Newspapers aro quietly look ing on, saying by their course, "you shall not use us to divide the party." Aspirants, managers and whilome dic tators of candidates may do the squab bling, while we complacently wait for the action of the people, knowing that unless a nomination is made with jus tice and the selection of the Conven tion untrammelled by party' managers the whole fabric falls to the ground, slate makers and all. - In short all ails Joey C. and others is the newspapers have been too sharp for them and have left the onus of spite and cat-hauling on others' shoul ders while they severely mind their own business with the final results Urly in our hands.

Garfield will have, counting New- York, Indiana, and Connecticut among the republican state, 222 electoral votes. Let him lose Indiana and Con necticut and he will still have 201. Take away Mains from the list thus depleted and he will have 194. In ad dition to these he rnav lose Oregon and California and still have 185, enough to elect. If he lose New York aud carry the other states named, Garfield will have 187 electoral votes. If lie lose New York, Connecticut, and Florida, and carrv Virginia, he will have 180 votes. Or he may lose New York, Connecti cut and Indiana, and carry Virginia, Florida and New Jersey, have still 190 votes. The democrats can only succeed by carrying all the Southern states, and New lork, New Jersey and Oregon, or Connecticut, loosing isew iorK they must carry all the Southern states, New Jersey. Indiana. Connecticut, Maine and all the Pacific states of Cal ifornia, Oregon and Nevada to have 187 votes. The prospect is certainly not discouraging to the republicans.

On Laws. We publish the following at the re quest of a brother editor. While doubt ing the use or advisability of such a law, we print this to show the absurd ity ef tho whole stein of exemptions and the treatment the editors of Ne braska have invariably received from legislatures. Wilber. Neb., Aug. 20, 1880. To the Editor: Herewith find en closed a copy of an amendment to the exemption laws which all Nebraska publishers are interested in having be come a law. . The seemingly utter ini possibility of adopting or enforcing the cash in advance system for sub scriptions calls for this measure. The printers and publishers of the state are annually obliged to suffer great loss because of their not being able to collect the amounts due them on subscription, and if there was a law of this import on our statute books it would be a great relief to the newspa per publishers of tho State. You a3 a member of the fraternity have an interest in the matter, and as the State legislators for several ses sions have invariably economized at the expense af the newspaper publish ers, it would be no more than justice did the publishers exact as one qualifi cation of the Legislative candidates this fall that they favor the proposed amendment. Yours fraternally, J. W. Wefin, Jr. AN ACT, To amend Section 531 of Chapter 57. Code of Cicil Procedure of the State of Nebraska. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Nebraska, that Section 531 of Chapter 57 of the Code of Civil Pro cedure be amended to read as follows (552.) Sec. 531. Nothing in this chap ter shall be so construed as to exempt any property in this State from execu tion or attachment for clerks', labor era' or mechanics' wages, or for money due and owing on subscription to netcs- papers and periodicals printed wholly or in part-in the State of Nebraska, or for money due and owing bv an attor ney at law, for money or other valua ble consideration received by said at torney for any person or persons. Sec. 2. Section 531 of Chapter 57 of Code of Civil Procedure, part 2, Revis ed Statutes of 18C0, is hereby repealed. No Inducements. in a conversation some days since with a prominent officer of the Catho ic colonization society, the wrier in quired why no efforts were made to lo cate colonics in the southern states as well as the western. "The southern people," answered the official, "offer no inducements. They are lazy, unenterprising and intoler ant, and we shouldn!t like our people, for their own good, to be placed among them. Bee. A few years ago the democracy made a campaign on "Economy." Sinqe there has been a democratic Congress the comparative appropriations have been as follows, taken from the N. Y Times: The annual appropriations made by Democratic Congresses for the current fiscal year and the two vears preceding aggregate $486,000,000, being an aver age of lU3.ooo,ooo a year. The same appropriations made by Republican Congresses for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1873, 1S74 and 1S73, aggregate $424,000,000, or an average of $141,- 000,000 a year. It is true that the ap propriations for 187y were abnormally large, in consequence of the refusal of a Democratic House to provide for the support of the Army in the appropria tions of the year preceeding. But it is also true that the pretense of Demo cratic economy has no better basis than this, that a deficiency was creat ed in one year to be supplied the next. E. D. Mansfield, the ablest hand at figures in Ohio, writes the Cincin nati Gazette rffter this fashion: "I think that the republicans will have a clear majority of the next house of re presentatives, and the senate will be a ie. One hundred and eighty-five elect- ral votes, which Hayes had, is a ma- ority. Garfield's minimum vote, I think, will be 187, and his maximum 247, and his probable vote, I think, will be 222. I give no details', but put this on record. I know that the greenback- ers claim a great vote; but 1 do not now that this vote will have a mate rial effect on the election. This was before Weaver went down 9 Alabama, ana reported that they had not had a fair, honest vote there n twenty years. Oltu young people, who are taking m interest now in the manual of arms, may Ue interested in the old fash- oned wavs. The following ordinance was issued by Oliver Cromwell, in 1041, regulat ing the exercises of the musketry.

Ail ieaa- ng Republicans wore there and took great interest' in tho selection of the delegates, who will represent this pre cinct in the County Convention. The Democrats also held a meeting, which was conducted principally by sore-headed Republicans. The speaker took great pains to criticise the Re publicans for not making mention of the name of Arthur, when ho himself fon;ot to tell the namo of English. The Good Templars also had their regular meeting at the same place. The Republicans will meet again at the same place, on Thursday evening, September 3d.

The new Church, dimension 24x40 feet, which was being erected by the German Lutherans, seven miles north of Syracuse, was blown from its foun dation by the little breeze of tho ICth, and the building badly shattered; one of the workmen was blown from the steeple to the ground, but luckily es caped uninjured. The lawn sociable at Mr. oleott s, the evening of the 18th, was a notalsle success, lno weeping water orches tra was present and favored the as sembly with some excellent music.

Last Saturday evening, while a man named Iladley was engaged in walling up the interior of a well, near btove Creek, one of the workmen abo?e ac cidentally dropped a rock which struck the old gentlemen on the head, produc ing a fracture of the skull, through which a portion of the brain oozed out and from which he subsequently died, lie was highly respected in the vicini ty, and is mourned by a large number of friends.

This occurred in Troy, when he removed to New York. Sage has been successful in almost everything he undertook, and this is a proof of his well-balanced judgment. His pres ent business is one whicli requires rap id calculation ana great nerve. It is that form of gambling known as "puts" and "calls."' Sage's office is as complete a "hell" (to borrow a term of the craft) as ever was occupied by a faro club, but being ou Walt street, it i perfectly legitimate. Sage is ready through all business hours to sell a "privilege." You may tender him a given number of shares or you may demand them. That's his trade, uiM all he asks is a small fee for being a victim of your appeal to chance. None know what Northwestern or Central Hudson will be worth a month hence, but Sage will tell you in a moment what the quotations at which you may demand it of him arc at any time within the above mentioned period. Turning the tables you may put it to him, or taking a "stra Idle," you may either "put" or "call." What an accomodating man I All that you are required to do is to plank down the fee. Well, the maddening crowd that pursues tho smiles of fortune is ready to pay the triile required, and the result is that Sage is enriched by their folljr. Sage's profits on puts and calls are estimated at ?2,000 per week, and his wealth is estimated at $o,000, UU0. Such a mau is entitled to the advantages of a watering place, espe cially as he is getting old. He i3 iuv nearly 70, and ought to begin to takt the good of his money. Sage's rule iu dealing with all risks is to hedge him self in a caret ul manner. Hence, he joined a church a few years ago to meet the contingencies of the future. What a combination of saintship and stock gambling is found in this Wall 6treet magnate 1 The (Jersnan Theater. Several well-known capitalists are arranging to build a new German theater in Xew York. They have lornied anateseciatioii, among the mem bers being Edward K. Iuubitschok, Ileinrich "Zeimer, Philip Klein, Wil helm 11. Stafford and Max II. llaubit schek. The charter was received last month. The capital stock is $W0,000, of which over $100,000 is already sub scribed. The site selected for the building Is the northeast corner of 3d avenue and 14th street. The building will be an elaborate edifice in the Re naissance style, 231 by 103 feet on tho ground. The central part will bo tho theater, the section fronting on 3d av enue; a large concert hall, and the L adjoining the theater proper on 14th street will be an immense summer garden. These two parts vary in height from seventy to eighty feet. A uome will crown the theater. Tho summer garden will be of glass, with a framework of iron, and elaborate designs iu metal will bo relieved by a display oi exotics and growing plants. Tiic stage of the theater will incasuro ftcveiity-livo feet by forty-eight, and it will be adjacent to tho garden and so constructed that it can be reversed an t used in the garden in summer for light comedies, uppcrcttas, etc. Such an organization should, and will meet with .success. The Germans lire an amusement, loving people, ana the wealthy of this class freely patron ize firnt-ciass entertainments, and are always among the lirst to subscribe liberally towards projects that ad vance tho legitimate drama or opera.
