BELLEVUE GAZETTE. pgiUIHH BY A. STRICKLAND ft CO., 8. R. S. M'BWEN, EDITOR. BELLEVUE, N. T. THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 18,7. Flection of Delegate. !t is impossible to arriye l tny conclu ion who is elected delegate to Congress, Sometimes it is claimed that Chapman it elected nd then again it is Ferguson Thi (Thursday) evening, it is said there will nol be thirty votes between them and as we are loth to admit the election of Chapman, eud equally deprecate the idea wf Imiuviiig for Ferguson until we are out of the woods our readers will have to wait in glorious uncertainty until the offi cial returns are all in. Sarpy County Official. . We are indebted to the County Clerk S. D. Bangs, Esq., for the following ab tract, taken from the official returns made to him.

County Election. Sarpy county has done nobly, aside from the large vote given for the people s can, didate fo.a deleraU', Hon. Fenner Fergu son. She has elected the enure county licket, nominate.! by the Squatters Con. vufsUoa' at Salinj's Grove a ticket vhich, she may well be proud. " Of the Reprercntaures, Silas A. Strick land end C. T. Holloway, are well knows throughout the whole territory, as leadin i-pirits in the last legislature their efli tiency and merits are acknowledged on all sides, sad need oo further -toioaieoda- iion from us. ' Amoi Gates, is Jan old end triedresi itr.l of hi? coun'y- a man with u ilcar ead a sound mind and unflinching in tegrity. Jnmos Davidson, of l'lattforu, is gentleman, of good sense, and possessed of that sound judgment and sterling worth which peculiarly fits him for a legislator. With nueh men. wo msv safelv conclude, tl the interests of Sarpy county will be safe in the coming Legislature, and the leu interests of the Territory guarded with ealouscare. , William II. Cook, was re-elected Pro bate Judge. He is a young man of more than ordinary enterprise, and has resided among us from an early period and by his public spirit and untiring energy, he has contributed in no small degree to build up the county, whose chief and first officer he is. It is sufficient of him to say, that within a few months, this is the second time he has received the endorsement of Sarpy county, which is the best evidence of their just appreciation of his ability and public worth. For County Commissioners no better selection eould have been made. Robert AfCarty came here long before the Indi ans had left the place. And prefering a settlement in the interior of the county to tha rirer front, he has by his industry and public spirited policy, won the confidence and highest regard of his fellow citizens. Mr. Lovejoy as the first Mayor of Belle- vue, is so favorably known throughout the county that he needs no endorsement from us, while Mr. Jenkinson, has that probity of character and honesty of purpose which peculiarly fits him for a county commis sioner. John M. Enoch, is re-elected Sheriff. John has "got the nerve" is a man that is always right on the gooe never makes any mistakes is a right royal good fellow and makes a first class officer. We wish we had more such men among us, for with such men as he, we know the country would always be safe. As to our Treasurer, Mr. Wiley; Reg ister, C. D. Keller; County Clerk. S. D Bangs ; County Surveyor, W. W. Harvey: Superintendent of Common Schools, John P. Kast they are all young men, but fa vorites with the dear people, and as their votes show, can never be beat for an office where there i a large field and a fair fight. They are trumps that have never failed to take a trick, and while the peo ple have said oo in doyb, we say, oo on boys! Horace Rogers and Abner R. Blac' burn were elected Justices of the Peace We can safely say, from them, even hand ed justice will be meeted out to all and we hope that they may be a terror to evil doers in our midst, whilst they hold office. Win, Harbin and George Coffman were elected constables for this precint they are both young men of the right stripe, and did efficient service at the polls on ast Monday. , , The Immortal Seven! We are pleased to announce to the pub ic, that there are yet left in the city of Omaha, seven honest men seven men who stood up before over a thousand of the opposition, and voting for the Hon, Fenner Ferguson, proclaimed to the squat- ters of the Territory, that they could divest themselves of all sectionalism, and cast their votes for an honest man a man who is not covered all over with pledges. The numerical figure 7, is connected with a great many incidents in the history of the world, twth sacred and profane. For the benefit of the curious, we will mention a few of them : MB B B even days compose tne nnmber m each week. It is said that there are seven worriers of the world. Greece in her palmy days boasted of seven wise men. There are seven stars, which form a glo rious correlation in the Heavens. - The city of Rome is built on seven hills. Seven years was the time specified by the Pilgrim fathers when they landed at Plymouth, that their mutual association should exist. In Revelations, St. John speaks of the seven churches of Asia in his vision he saw seven golden candlesticks seven an gels, with seven vials, containing seven plagues and tne dragon wruch he taw had seven heads. . Pharoah, in his dream, saw corning up out of the river seven fat kine and seven lean kine and it was interpreted by Jo seph, that there was to be seven years of of rjleniY end then was to follow seven yean of famine. . Our Saviour talks of a day coming when seven women shall take hold of one man. He also tells of a woman who had seven husbands all brothers. ; . And Ust, but not least by any means, u the immortal seven of Omaha. 1 lonor to the glorious seven the consciousness of having done right, when surrounded by corrupinu where the cry air was taint- ed by the stench which arises from that cess-pool of iuiquityj will cheer thera upon the weary journey of life, and in the hour f death, will not cause a single pang of remorse to rend their bosoms. Long may icy wave ! Personal. Hon. John Finney, who so ably and ef ficiently represented Sarpy county in the ast Legislature, was not a candidate for re-election. He was frequently urged ty his fellow citizens, to return this fall as the people's choice and we believe he would have been the unanimous choice, lad he consented to become a candidate, We are proud to say, that Mr. inney, la no aspirant for place or power but is, ( what cannot be said m these times, or ev ery one) the noblest work of God "an HONEST MAN." ' ' ' J : if ot night. During our political campaign which has just closed, a good deal of bickering and ntrif a wfti exhibited amonz the resi dents of Sarpy county. This is all wrong, People who inhabit one county one local- ty, ought to be united in order to give strength to any thing they undertake, or give weight to any measure which might be proposed for the public good. Some times a misunderstanding exists, which, if explained in time, would do away with great deal of the evil which follows. The The election is now over, and we sincerely hope, that personal piquet will be forgotten and jealousy of every kind be discarded and let us go in and labor for the genera good of the county, and our own beautiful city, liy a unitea ana narmonious euon a a - - rr . . much can be done much will be done. The American t'nion. ' The Baltimore Patriot, of Saturday eve ninir contains a craohic account oi we re ception and entertainment of the guests from the Western cities, who arrived in Baltimore on Saturday morning last. A monu the speeches of the occasion those of Mavor Swan of Baltimore, and Gov, r.hasa of Ohio, were nre-emineni. une of the concluding Daraeraphs of Gov Chase's speech, touching upon the Amer icon Union, deserves the widest circula lion. He said: ... - "You have spoken, eloquently, sir, of mil-roads as bonds tor union, and your or servalions were as just as they were elo quent No man-conversant with rau roads can be a aiaunionesu inesoviu m a 1 Tt I intercourse which they foster, the ties of business which thev create, the mutual do pendence which they establish and exhibit make disunion impossible. There must of course, be differences of opinion on some points. Real grievences may from tune to tune demand redress. ilut mere is no evil of which disunion is the proper cure. And the more we see of each other the less likely we shall be to commit the error of thinking otherwise. Ihe fact is, that we who live along the line of the Am erican Central railway, don t mean to let this union be broken up. Maryland will not consent to it, I think. I trust Virginia will not. Ohio, I am sure will not. Nor Indiana, or Illinois or Missouri. Who, then will? No; sir. We may differ henceforth, as we have done heretofore. We will maintain our respective opinions and positions with candor, courtesy, firm nes ana resolution. Anu we win eiei 1 Al - ll whatever Question may be between us to the great American tribunal of popular discussion and popular judgment. But in the time to come, as in nine past, wa cieave to the union as our ark of refuge, and un der God our surest guarantee of prosper ity and powr and abiding glory. Stopping the 8alt Lake Malls. The post master at Independence, Mo., has received an official notice from the Postmaster General, that the contract for carrying the mails from thence to the Salt Lake has been set asiae, ana ne is mere fore ordered to withhold the mails until further orders. Thi is done by virtue of a right always reserved by the depart. ment to rescind mail contracts on giving due notice and one month pay to contract or. In this case the contract was taken by a company of Mormons at Salt Lake City, who hare aireaay maae severe trips under it So general were the com plainti of the mails having been violated and letters opened, especially me corres pondence of the Government officials that it became quite evident these Mor- mon contractors were mere tools of Brig ham Young. The Administration baa al so taken another step toward insuring the faithful performance of the mail service in Utah. A postmaster had, it seems. been appointed for Salt Lake City who was not a Mormon. His commissi on was forwarded to him, but never reached ha dee. tination, and duplicate copies failed like wise. In fact, he was not recognised by Briffham Young, lie has now received his commission in person at Washington together with full instructions as to bis course, and will be sent out supported by a protecting military force. New Policy of Spain. - ' TV.e Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirtr says that Spain has become disgusted with the interference of Great Britain and France in her domest ic affairs, and is determined to seek new allies in the United States and Russia. With Russia, on the north and Spain on the south, France would have as much as she could do to attend to her own affairs. The present ormy of Spain conMl? of ttvo hundred thousand men, and, as all Span-! ards are soldiers tins number could le readily increased to five hundred thousand. A large increase in her navy is to be gradually effected, so as to render lier, at, no distant day, a first rate marine power She had already determined to assume tier former position, and demands a seat at any future European Congress. Should Hairs in Uie east (in Turkey, for instance, as expected,) again demand the interfer ence of the other European nations, Spain will insist on being one of the party. In ten years her navy can be so enlarged as to be equal to any emergency, and she could then alone . cope successfully with ranee. With the United States as anally, Spain can restrain England. She already re jects the interference of that country and 'ranee in jier Cuban affairs, and claims the right tcf be exempted from the opera tion of the Monroe doctrine, as well as the right to treat with the United States in regard to her island possessions in America. She is now engaged in pre paring a most liberal treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and her ports, both home and colonial, (no seen treaty having been made up to this day, i as well as a judicious recipro cai postal treaty. Spain has nothing to apprehend from Russia, but boh France and England have always had designs upon her. St. Louts Dtm. Burning- of the Montreal INTERESTING INCIDENTS. One little boy had left the "land of brown heath and shaggy wood," in com pany with his father, mother, three sisters and a brother, for to what appeared to them the land of hope and promise. They all reached it but, alas! reached it but to meet with a watery grave! They all per, ished but this little fellow, who is severe' ly burned. He is now a patient in the hospital; and, while talking to some ladies the tears began to flow, and as if for fear they might think he was weeping, because of his burns, he said: "I am not crying for my burns, but for my father and mother, sisters and brother." This brave little fellow was going to his uncle in the West, to which place he will be forward ed as soon as able. A most affecting scene took place on board the "Alliance, when an old Cana dian, Robitaille, we think is the name, re- coveted the body of his lost son. He cried out "my poor boy, my poor boy!" strove to wipe away the mud and filta from the darkened eyes of the corpse, but it was too much for him, and he fainted On his recovery, however, he lay down beside the body, lamenting with bitter tears the loss of his darling boy. The bodies of two young men from v er mont. named Farrell, glass manufsctu rer, St. Johns, have been recognized. 1 hese bodies were brought up by the train in'cliarpe of their brother, who states that one of them had a gold watch and $500 or $600, and the other a silver watch, but that none of this property was upon them when delivered to lnm. Four little children and a dog were found together on a part of the wreck just out or the water, all alive, by a party who went on from the shore in a' boat. A list of the parlies taken charcre of by the St Andrew's Society of Montreal is given in the papers of that city. It most painful reading. We find there the names of Colin Sinclair, 80 years old, and his wife, aged 60, who lost their only son; Mrs. Marmel, whose husband is in this country, who lost three daughters and one son; Airs McAUster, who lost her husband a son and daughter, and saved three sons; four children under 20, who lost their mother and a young sister ; Mrs. Bloom field, who lost two children and saved two; Mrs Christian, who lost her husband and four children, and saved one, the youngest ; David Milen, who lost his wife and five children, and saved one ; a young man who lost two sisters, and saved one sister; Mrs. Wylie, who lost her husband and three children; Mrs. Clarke, who lost her hiuband and four children, and saved a daughtor; a young girl of 17, who lost her father; three young children under 8 who lost both parents a brother and sister; John McQuin, who lost his wife, three sons and three daughters, and saved one daugh ter; Peter McColl, a boy of seven years, who lost his father and mother, three sis ters and a brother, and is all alone. He is mentioned in a paragraph above quoted, The Warm Season Commenced See to your Homes. We think we might safely conclude that the warm season has at last com raenced; and it behooves every one to look well to his premises, and see that no disease generating plague spot is sunerea to remain in and about the dwelling. Maoy people are not careful enough in this respect. Disease and death enters their dwellings, perhaps to them in a mys terious manner : when an observing eye io a close, and aometimea by a auperficial examination, would discover causes which are as direct bids for the affliction, as if one were to build a pest house under bis bedroom window. These various causes are too numerous to mention in their full detail. They are found often in refuse sink holes which receive the kitchen wash. We knew a person a few days since to complain of a neighbor who turned a cow into a joint lane, for a half hour only, each night and morning ; while in the same lane, not ten feet from the complainants door, was a sink-pool made from the kitch en wash rf the complainant, which was filled with reeking film covered over with its green scum, the very personification of adistase generator. These causes are also found in hog pens, close rattle yard-', and unclesnsed barn-yards unclean cel lars unaired sleeping rooms with tin mpticd )rp in them unvahed persons sleeping in rooms where the air Las been poisoned with the breath ot several persons during the evening too much shado. On the last specification we wish1 to say a word farther, As agreeable as are shade trees, and undoubtedly benefi- ial also, there is a possibility of having too much of a good. Suppose you keep a plant in some of these deep shaded hous es. It will perhaps find light enougn to keep life in its branches, but take that plant into the full blaze of the sun, and it wilt wilt and die in the very sunshine which is the life of a plant that has not been diseased by thick shade. Why then may not the effect be the same upon men, women and children, diseased in tneir dark rooms, and then at times going out into the full blaze of the surf. Were it not at any rate much safer to let in a good proportion of sunlight into our living and leeping rwomsj and then me ugnt win ce ife and strength in all places. Give your homes licht and air uncontaminated with foul gases generated by causes which we have mentioned, and you .must at least ook for causes outside the atmospheric influence, if you are sick. Wt might here stteak of those causes which are found sometimes in improper food, but of tener in improperly masticated, and of course undigested food. In this matter of food, a little careful observation wilt ena ble one to determinate what " agrees with them." A person who, knowing that any certain kind of food " makes him de ranges the system ; and will yet persist in that food, ought to die, and encumber the earth with one less loot ; out me oeam is . m a .a i . .a . as much a case of self-murder as if the person amused himself or herself in thrust ing a pointed knife between the ribs, at random, and " accidentally nappenea to hit the heart Use the good things of God then, (but then remember God never made a fruit cake, no sliced His cucumbers so thin you could not mssticate them !) but use them nrooerlv. He has given us teeth with which to masticate to render our tooa pulpy mass, and not merely to bite it into " chunks; before we throw it into me stomach and if by reason of the former violation of Nature's Laws your teeth are gone, keep a hammer and an anvil by your side to aid you in the process, rather than throw half masticated food into your stomach to bring dispepsia and a hundred other diseases. There is much in this connection, with regard to dress, also, which effects health but to which we can only refer at this time. Think, watch and investigate these things. Adrian Expositor.
