publican nomination for associate
juetico of the supreme court, is a
gentleman too well known through

Chas. J. Guiteau has at last been
indicted for murdering President
Garfield.
The document is a huge one filled
with technical legal terms, charging
the offence in every conceivable
form. There are eleven different
counts, varying mainly in the man
ner in which tho death of Garfield
jb set forth, some of them having it
in the county of Washington and
Diet, of Columbia, others the coun
ty of Momnonth, state of New Jcr
Boy. Ech of tho eleven couuts
cloBes with the formal charge, "and
so the grand jurors aforesaid do say
that said Charles J. Guiteau him,
the said James A. Garfield, in tho
manner and meanB aforesaid, felon
iously, wilfully and of his malice
aforethought did kill aud murder,
against the form of etatuto in such
case made and provided, and against
peace of the United States of America.''
A few days ago small pox was
reportjd at Parkville, a station on
the K. C. road between Atchison
and Kansas City. Eleven deaths
have already occurred, and Dr. An
dereoc, of Leavenworth, eays the
diseaan is really black scurvy. Oth
ers say it is nothing more nor less
than the Black Death which devas
tated the countries of the east in the
fourteenth century. Those who at
tended the funeral of the first victim
have been stricken down, aud ten
have died, according to Mr. Threl
keld, a farmer living near the place.
Of the entire number attackcd,about
thirty, only ono has shown symp
toms of recover. Mr. Thrclkeld
says that after death the bodies can
not be lifted into a coffin, as the
flesh fells from the bones, and it is
his opinion that the disease is the
old black Btnall pox. There is great
excitement in tho vicinity, and a
great many aro leaving. Lincoln

The rcnomination of ltogcut Fi
field for regent was a well-deserved
tribute to the faithfulness with which
ho ha guarded the interests and
promoted the success of tho State
university for the past seven or eight
years. Mr. Fificld desired to retire
from the place which isauylhing but
a sinecure, rewarded with no pay
and a few thanks, at least, uttered
ones, but his friends throughout the
state will not permit it, aud thny
elected him by an overwhelming
majority, notwithstanding other
strong names were proscuted from
the fifth district.
Senator Isaac Powers, of Dakota
county, nominated for regent of the
university for the Bixth district, is a
most competent gcntlcmnn, well
known to the republicans of Nebras
ka, for his ability and integrity. JIc
will take tho place of the Hon. Wil
liam Adair, who after serving two
or three terms acceptably in that
offico, was obliged for business reas
ons to decline a rcnomination.
Lincoln Journal.
Ahout midnight of Oct. 5th Mrs.
.Mary Seymour of Lancaster, Penn.,
was outraged in the presence of her
three little children and then beaten
on the head, face and body, by two
human fiends named Philip Rogers
and Edward Sanders, 20 and 25
years old, respectively. It will be
found necessary to tho preservation
of civil society that it defend itself
to the uttermost against tramps and
villians of all species. Doubtless if
these worthless scoundrels had been
whero their former deeds justly en
titled them to be, Mrs. Seymour
would yet be alivo and caring for
her three children. It costs
something to a community to hunt
down and punish those who arc
wilfully, stubbornly, purposely and
maliciously wrong and crooked, but
it pays pays in tho punification of
the community ; pays in tho greater
security of life, liberty and property
from violence of all kinds; pays in
tho moral effect upon the rising
generation ; pays in actual dollars
and cents in tho prevcution of crime.
A man of the kind mentioned has
no more right to have the freedom
of a civilized community than one
afllctcd with a dangerous, contagious
disease; no moro than a wolf has to
live among sheep ; no more than a
mad dog has among domestic ani
mals. In pure self-defence, society
must got rid of all such. Those
who aro old in crime cannot readily
bo reformed, but organized society
may do much to keep temptation out
of the reach of the young, and make
vice and crime of all degrees and
shades, dishonorable, disreputable
odious and extremely unprofitable.
Republican State Convention.
Tho largest political convention
ever held in Nebraska assembled
Wednesday of last week at the Opera
House, Lincoln.
At half past four the convention
was called to order by Chairman
Dawes of the State Central Com
mittee. Paul Vandervoort of Domrhis

Mr Chapman, of Cass, moved to
amend tho motion by adopting the
report except as to Boone county.
After some debate a vole was
taken, when a division was called
for and alt-o a demand for a call by
counties.
During the call for tho ayes and
nays on it point relative to the ad
mitting of proxies in the convention,
the picture of Garfield was let down
from the scenery until it hung in
full view of the audience. It came
60 suddenly, so unexpectedly, and
was so plainly seen by all those
prcseut, that the voices of tho con
vention rose in one continuous cry,
the audience rose to their feet a3one
man, there was clapping of hands,
waving of handkerchiefs, and the
wildest enthusiasm. It was some
minutes before (ho commotion sub
sided, and then all went on again as
usual.
The amendment was carried by a
vote of 220 to 110. The original
motion was then voted upon and
carried.
On motion, the contestants were
allowed thirty minutes each in which
to present their claims before the
convention.
Mr S P Bollmau championed the
interests of the delegates appointed
by a mass convention of Boone
county, while Mr C J Green gave iti
brief the claims of the delegates
appointed by the county central
committee.
On motion, the report of the com
mittee was adopted, aud the contest
ants not allowed a seat in the
convention.
On motion by J M Thurston, the
temporary organization was made

M Whitmoyer, of Platto.
L C Burr moved that the conven
tion now proceed to the nomination
of a candidate for judge of the su
preme court, b3' call of counties.
The chair announced nominations
now in order, whereupon A M Post
of Columbus, arose, and after paying
a glowing tribute to the character
and legal ability of Samuel Maxwell,
nominated him as a candidate for
the supreme bench. Tho nomina
tion was seconded with a just
encomium at the hands of Geo S
Smith, in behalf of the Cass county
delegates.
Otoe and Madison counties, thro'
their representative delegates, also
seconded the nomination of Judge
Maxwell.

Nemaha delegation, seconded the
nomination.

Thurston moved that the convention
proceed to ballot by call of counties
for a candidate for supreme judge.
Considerable wrangling was indulg
ed in by tho members of the con
vention whether the convention
should vote by ballot or viva voce.
The motion for a viva voce vote pre
vailed and the convention proceeded

THE PLATFORM.
The republicans or Nebraska de
clare their continued devotion to the
principles of the national republican
party, as expressed in the Chicago
platform, aud as further defined in
the lcttors of acceptance of its can
didates for president and vico pres
ident. In the untimely death of our lato
president, James A brain Garfield, at
tho meridian of his life, we deplore
the loss to the nation of a gifted and
accomplished man, a tried ami trust
ed party leader, and a broad-minded
and progressive statesman. He was
a man of the people, and his expe
rience and wisdom in public a Hairs
pre-eminently qualified him both to
maintain his party's ascendency and
to condtict the interests of the nation
in au assured career of triumph, un
til every issue raised by rebels, by
rcpudiaiionists, and by corruption
ists iu the public service should be
Hcttled right, and forever settled
in the supremacy of the nation, iu
the freedom of the citizen, in the
relief of the people from undue bur
dens of taxation, iu the permanent
establishment of a popular currency,
in the settlement of the Indian ques
tion on a basis of absolute security
to tho people of the west, and in a
governmental administration, honest
aud economical iu al! its depart
ments, and conducted with business
efficiency in all its branches. Wo
rejoice in tho noble personal charac
ter which our lamented chief left us
a heritage to this people, and in an
example so wholesome for the edifi
cation aud cmulatiou of the youth of
our land. We rejoice in his exam
plo of temperance in all things of
fidelity to all domestic and social
obligations, of unaffected courtesy
and dignity of demeanor, and of un
challenged official integrity. To tho
aged mother bereft, to the widowed
wife and her fatherless children, wo
tender our deepest sympathies, and
for them we bespeak the consola
tions of the divine love, and a na
tion's and a people's sympathy, pro
tection and support.
To Chester A. Arthur, elected vice
president of tho United States by
the same sutlrages that made James
A. Garfield president, and chosen to
be the nation's chief executive in
such a contingency as that which has
arisen, wo lender our friendly con
sideration as citizens of the slate,
and as republicans we pledge to
President Arthur our hearty sup
port under the embarrassing cir
cumstances which, through no fault
or procurement of his, have attended
hi6 accession to the chair of state. It
is our conviction that in Gen. Ar
thur, now our constitutional presi
dent, this nation has a chief execu
tive equal to the unwelcome neces
sity which in the providence of God
has been laid upon him. Wc have
confidence in Chester A. Arthur as
a citizen of pure patriotism, of emi
nent abilities, of sound political
education, of varied accomplish
ments and of unstained- life, and a
republican in whom there is no
guile. Wc entertain the expecta
tion that ho will prove to be a
statesman capable ot governing the
people wisely and well, and a leader
under whose loyal guidance the
party of the people will know no
such word as fail. Wo- commend
President Arthur's inaugural utter
ances, that "all the noble aspirations
of my lamented predecessor, which
found expression in his life, tho
measures devised and suggested by
him to correct abuses aud enforce
economy will bo garnered
in the hearts of the people;" and we
received with satisfaction the assur
ance from his lips that it will be
President Arthur's "earnest endeav
or to profit, by this example and
sacrifice." In President Arthur's
further utterance that the president
must, under tho constitution, "an
swer for the just exercise of the
discretion it permits, aud the duties
it impose?," wc recognize a clear
expression of the same principle of
executive independence and respon
sibility which tho late president
maintained with the approbation of
the people and with tho endorse
ment of the republican party. In
Gen. Arthur's letter of acceptance
he vindicated the personal rights of
tho citizen in political affairs, alike
with his duty as a public official,
lie demanded business qualifications
with integrity in public ollice. He
advocated measures of public relief
for industries and classes overbur
dened with taxation. He favored
national works of internal improve
ment. In terms most explicit, most
earnest and most emphatic he sot
forth the duty of this government to
"protect all American citizens every
where iu tho enjoyment of their
civil and political rights." In these
and other declarations of that able
and statesmanlike letter wc recog
nize tho truo gospel of republican
ism. Wc therefore bespeak and wc
expect the utmost measure of suc
cess for an administration thus
pledged to a public polity alike
economical, humane, patriotic, just
and pure. Wc do this to the end
that the national republican party
may continue united in the work of
reconstructing the nation, saved by
its counsel and its arms. Wc do
this to tho end that the democratic
party may never again domiuatc in
a government which it sought to
overthrow. That party, in every
southern state and in most of the
northern states, has repudiated sa
cred obligations relating to nation
ality, to freedom, to financial honor,
aud to honGSt and economical ad
ministration. To these supreme ob
ligations this people, through the
republican party, stands forever
pledged, and we look with confi
dence to President Arthur as with
confidence wc looked to President
Garfield for au administration which
shall assnrc tho continued success of
the republican party in its high and
chosen mission.
We demand for tho assassin of
our late president a speedy trial, in
which technicalities shall not be
suffered to override justice aud the
public safety, aud that condign pun
ishment be visited on him for his
causeless and cruel act, and we call
upon the congress of the United
Slates to enact a law making any
violent assault on the president or
vice president an act of treason,
punishable with death.
Convention adjourned at 3 a. in.
Telegraphic Summary
Ml'RDKROUS ASSAULT.
Vinckn.nks. Ind., Oct. G. A little
after 2 o'clock this morning, two
men entered tho residence of Wm.
Kroeger, a German market-gardener
00 years of age, living two miles east
of this city, and attacked Kroeger
and his wife with clubs as they lay
asleep iu bed. Tho womau was
knocked senseless by fwo blows on
her head, and the old man, after four
blows on tho head, fell back and lay
perfectly still. as though unconscious.
The thieves then ransacked the
room, securing what money there
was, $15, and escaped. As soon
as they wore ouf of the room, Kroe
ger sprang out of bed and fired two
loads from his gun atter them, but
without oiled. This afternoon sher
ifl Kackley and deputies, acting on
Kroegcr's description, arrested two
well-known negroes, Andrew aud
Courlland Gordan, who were at once
identified upon being taken before
their victims. They are now iu jail,
and will be tried on Monday. The
circumstances arc so similar to those
of the murder of the Vacelot family,
several years ago, which has remain
ed shrouded in mystery, as to lead
many to think the Gordons were
the guilty parties. The German pop
ulation are very much excited, and
there is considerable talk of lynch
ing.
