SEE U3t TICKK-i'. AL15EKT J. ARNOLD, The caudultttu lor bucrill was born in Steuben Co., N. Y., August 23d, 1SJ1. lie had the usual experience of American boys and young men, aud at the uge of twenty-six, follow ing Greeley's advice, camu west to grow up with tho country, lie has, over since, lived in the west, and has had a little more than the usual varied experience of western men. We follow him briefly. In June, 1S57, ho first came to Columbus, and has considered this his home ever since. Iu the spring of 1S5S he moved here, taking charge of the Clcvclai d House ( now the Ham mond House) which was then loca ted on the 8ite oi "Cleveland" east of G. W. Steveus'a place. In lSiiS he charge of the ferry across the Loup, which was, at that time, a crossing for all ot the overland travel goiiig this way to Utah, California and other western points. To show the extent of the work done by tho fer rymen it is only necessary to refer to the fact that iu March, 1859, when they put on a now boat, there were live hundred teams ready to cross. This was the year of the great ex citement concerning the discovery of gold at Tike's Peak, and all had caught a good share of the fever, iu May of that year, ho quit his boat and went to the new eldorado, re turning iu the fall, and going back again in tho spring of 1SG0 accom panied by his brother, E. W., and by J. E. North. In ISO! ho eutered the Indian service, being commissioned by Gov. Saunders as first lieutenant ol O. P. Mason's battalion. In Au gust, lSG-i, he was put in command of Co. C, 7th Iowa Cavalry. He did splendid bervice in the engagements against the Sioux at Plum Creek, and in the Republican Valley and Smoky Jl ill country, also at Ash Hollow where twenty-five lodges of Sioux under Two Face- were sur rendered. The same winter he acted as scout for a party of soldiers iu a campaign against the Sioux. About this lime he whs appointed assist U. S. 1'rovost Marshal lor Nebras istant iska, with headquarters at Kearney City, which position he held till the close of the war, doiug his duty fully and satisfactorily, often under very try ing circumstances. Iu 1SG7 he be came deputy sshcriffof Platte county, under C. D. Clothcr, which position he filled, till he himself became sberilT in 1S70. Iu 1S73 he was elected a member of tho legislature, and there made his mark, as he always diJ, for the energy of his character. Ho is thoroughly cour ageous, acts upon his own convic tions, fears nothing and has no friends to save from punishment as criminals. ThcbC aro the qualities requieile in a sherill", in addition to the fact that ho knows very thor oughly the duties of the office. joiix w. EARLV the caudidato for treasurer, was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, in ISM. He received the education common to liuckcyc boys iu those days, at tho district schools ; when 17, lie en listed in the service agaiust the llebels, johnug the 19th Ohio. He served valiantly in many engage ments of tho war, including the ter rific battles of Shiloh, Franklin and Stone Hirer. After his time was out he re-enlisted in tho 101th regi ment, serving 2'2 years, and was afterwards in the government em ploy until 1SG5. In '07 he came to Nebraska, Platte county, and engag ed iu farming for seven yearn, in the meantime serving hiB comity as commissioner. In the fall of 1S73 he becamo assistant to County Treas urer, Vincent Kuinmcr, serving hint in the capacity of deputy until his death. Considering I hat Mr. Iviiiiiiuer was a democrat and that he had held the office of treasurer for twenty years, his employment of Early as deputy gavo the latter great strength in making tho canvas for that ollicc iu the fall of 1S7!, to which he was nominated by the Republicans of Platte. The contest will not soon be for gotten by thoso who took any inter est whatever iu iL There were lour candidate!?, Mr. Early receiving 0-10 of tho 101!) votes divided among them, and 2.)!) more than the highest of the three. He has performed the duties of his ollicc admirably, during the past two years, honoring the party which placed him there by a straight-forward, consistent and able administration of his ollicc. This ho has been enabled to do through the intimate knowledge that ho has of all the details of his ollicc and of the men and affairs of the county. HENRY .1. HUDSON tho candidate for count7 commis sioner, is so well known to all our citizens that it 6eems like a work ol supererogation to give even a brief sketch ol Ins career among us. lie has held various offices in old Monroe, (aucrwards merged into Platte county,) and the present county of Platte among them be ginning in Monroe in 1S57, as Coun ty Commissioner, then as Probate Judge, then as post-master for eleven year? ; three terms as County Clerk of this county; then in the legislature, always and everywhere, tho dntic of his station being per formed, in the public interest, fairly and faithfully. Iu public office be is one of those who appreciate the fact that an official is a servant of the public and not their master, henco he is courteous and affable. and always ready and willing to impart information concerning bus iness of the public entrusted to his care. For what we regard as the most important office in the county, Mr. Hudson possesses the qualities of experience, thorough knowledge and a spirit and determination to represent the public desire. LEWIS J. CKAMEK, tho canti'date for surveyor, was boru in Tiffin, Ohio, in 1S17. Ho gradu ated at Heidelberg College, Ohio, engaged in civil engineering for two years, and has been a teacher the remainder of the years of his man hood. He has been principal of the public schools in district 1 of this city for the past five years aud has the affectiou and admiration of all his pupils. He is a thorough schol ar and a most excellent man. In appearance, the professor somewhat resembles that sturdy rcpublicau, James G. Blaine. JAMES E. MOKCRIEF, the candidate for superintendent of schools, was born in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., June 5, 1852. He was raised on a farm, his father, a law yer, residing in the suburbs of Og dcusburg. At the age of 14 he entered the academy at Lewiston ; afterwards the college at Ogdens burg, and taking a course in the business col'ege of Bryant & Strat- tou. At the age of nineteen he came to Illinois, teaching in winter time, and working on a farm in summer. He has pursued the 'same general course since he came to Lost Creek precinct, this county, in 1S75, having been engaged In one district three terras, iu another two. When the office of superintendent became va cant last winter, Mr. Moncrief waH t-elected by tho county commission ers, aud the mauner iu which he has conducted hiB office since that time has iustilied their choice. Ho is well fitted for tho position, and has already won the esteem of the public. DR. S. A. IIONESTKEL, the candidate for coroner, is too well known as a physician of long and extensive practice in this communi ty, to need any commendation from us. No man in the county is hotter qualified for the place. Hiram "V. Thomas, doctor of di vinity, has been twice tried and convicted for heresy. The sentence of the court upon his first conviction was that he be suspended from the Methodist ministry. Tho sentence of the court upon his second con viction was that he be expelled from tho ministry and from tho church. Aud yet, it seems, the gen tleman is not satisfied. He proposes to be convicted a third time, by ap pealing from the judgment and sen tence of the court at Sycamore to the "judicial conference" the Meth odist tribunal of last resort. What the sentence of that tribunal will be can only be conjectured. We all know what it would have been a couple of centuries ago. But the power of the church to roast heretics has been curtailed, since then, al though the necessity and propriety of roastiug them for heaven's sako is still the same. But, considering the changed mental tone of society, aud the prodigious footing which heresy has gained throughout Chris tendom since the great Protestant heresy broke out in the sixteenth century, it is perhaps a warranted opinion that the Methodist supremo court will be content to sentence Brother Thomas to expulsion from the abode of the redeemed in a fut ure state of existence. At the pres ent day, this would appear to be tho extent of a church's jurisdiction in heresy cases. But why Brother Thomas should require even that sentence to con vince him that he is a hcietic passes understanding. It is a warranted opinion that he knows ho is a heret ic that it did not need even one trial aud conviction for heresy to enable his consciousness to grasp that fact. Ho knows, too, that horcsy is the highest of all crimes against the church, and that tho church which should suffer this crime to go un punished would both iuvite and as sure its own swift destruction. The essential idea of a church is an organized dogmatism. It implies a formulated creed, or definite belief iu things undcfiuablc and unknowa ble, aud an authority to enforce that belief by punishing any members of tho church who openly reject or question it. There never has existed an organ ized church on any other founda tion. No other is imaginable on which a church, in the accepted meaning of the word, could exist. In the first two centuries of Chris tianity thcro were no churches, strictly speaking. There were a multitude of apostles, teachers of religious doctrine, who went about setting torth orally by any organiz ed body of persons, but beliefs held by themselves. It necessarily re sulted that their opinions differed widely from each other; that they combated each other's religious no tions, sometimes with great bitter ness aud violence (as was tho case with Peter aud Paul) ; that they de nounced each other as falso teachers and heretics. But as there was no common standard of doctrine, no authoritatively formulated creed, no ecclesiastical organization, iu a word, no church, they were not ablo, as their devout successors wero when they got control of political power, to burn thoso who differed irom them iu opinion concerning things of which none of them had any knowl edge. A "heretic," then, meaut only a person whose preachment was differcut to tho preachment of the person who applied that epithet. To Paul, Peter was a horotic, and to Peter, Paul a heretic. To Jerome, Marcion was a heretic, and to Mar cion, Jerome was a heretic. And so of the whole apostolic procession. There is excellent ground for the opinion that Paul's alleged miracu lous conversion wrought no such change in his persecuting nature as would have restrained him from "cutting off" Peter (as he counseled his disciples to do with other heret ics) if he had had the government power at his back, as before the oc currence on the road to Damascus. To this miscellaneous assortment of contentions but unorganized 're ligions doctrinaires succeeded an ecclesiastical organization. At first, only a Joose alliance of some relig ious leaders whose opinions con tained points of similarity, it at length developed a dogmatic system the most arbitrary, and an ecclesias tical orgauism the most wonderful, which the world has ever known. That which it organized was a re ligious authority a church which asserted its deliverances as tho in fallible test of truth concerning things beyoud tho grasp of the finite consciousness. Here w&3 tho certain test of heresy. It wai not only de nial. It comprehended even a doubt of the verity of tho church's dog matic ex cathedra. The church said to the human race : "Ho who doubts is damned 1" Armed with the tem poral power, It experienced little difficulty in establishing the mopt tyrranical dominion over tho minds of men who, however ignorant, knew that to question its assumed divine authority was heresy, aud that heresy meant not only torment in hcll-firo hereafter, but here, too. But tho extermination of heretics was necessary to maintain tho au thority of the church ; therefore, the heretics wero oxtormiualed. All writings which the church said were heretical were destroyed if thoy fell into tho hands of the church, and those which tho church pronouncod orthodox were compiled in a book, ao much of which as suited the pur poses of the church was pronounced, by the church's infallible authority, to have been written by diyino in spiration. All this Brother Thomas knows perfectly well. Ho knows that the Protestant "reformation," so called, was simply the outbreak of a wide spread heresy. Protesting against the authority of an infallible book. But they quickly found that this only carried them back to the era of contending horcsies before an or ganized church existed. The infal lible book was merely a collection of symbols of ideas which had been formed in men's minds in a provious age, and which (whether divinely inspired or not) had to be interpret ed, by men who could lay no claim to uivino inspiration in the terms of human thought in a long-subsequent age. The interpreters wero no more able to agree than Paul and Petor'or Marcion and Tertullian had been able to agree. Each faction realized the necessity of a determinating au thority of a church, organized to maintain and authorized to enforce against all heretical adversaries a particular dogmatic theory. There were, consequently, formulated as mauy differcut creeds and sot up as many distinct ecclesiastical organi zations as there were leading differ ences of opinion respecting tho meaning of the infallible book. In one respect only were these many churches alike. Each required of its members submissive acknowl edgment of its authority and implicit belief (or protended belief) iu its creed. Other matters wero non essential, but these were vital to the existence of the church. No church can possibly stand on any other basis. In its essential verity every church is an organiza tion of a dogmatic authority over matters of religious opinion and be liof. Men who dissent to its creed, or who question its right to deter mine authoritatively what theolog ical tenets its ministers and members shall and shall not believe, stand to it in tho relation of heretics, and if within its jurisdiction must submit to its punishment of that highest of crimes against the church. It is the one condition of the church's exist ence. All other sins may bo con doned ; immorality, lying, hypocrisy, slander of the neighbor, all the per sonal vices iu the list, tho church may pass over and "whitewash," oven in tho minister of tho holy altar; but tho heretic it must "cut oir," or perish. Brother Thomas knows as well as anybody that there is no other alternative. Apparently, he desires to continue in the minis try of tho church to whoso dogmatic prescription of what its members shall believe, or profess to believe, ho dissents. He knew, ten years ago, that his conscience did not ac cept thoso dogmas of tho church. Ho knew ho was a heretic. Know ing this, he knew that tho only con dition of his remaining in tho min istry of that church was that ho should keep his heretical opinions to himself, suppress his sincoro con victions, and preach doctriucs he did not believe. That would have mado him a hypocrite But hypoc risy is not a crimo against any church. Theological hypocrisy is not an offence which any church puuishes, either in clergymen or in laymen. On tho other hand, there is good ground for the opinion that tho ministry of all churches, in theso days of evor-spreadiug horesy, con tains a largo number of hypocrites. The conditions exclude the possibil ity of its being otherwise. 1. The existence of the church requires that its ministers shall preach and profess to believe its authoritativo "stand ards." 2. Tho most rational and intellectual men iu its ministry can not belieyo its authoritative "stand ards." The dilemma in which they are placed gives them only this op tion : To declare their honest con victions aud be cutoff as heretics; or to affirm what their understand ing rejects and eat tho bread of hypocrisy at the cost of stultifying their intellects. Brother Thomas did not act in ignorance of this. With the alter native before him of being a hypo crite or heretic, he elected to be a heretic. It is not rational nor com mendable on his part to pnt tho church to so much trouble to get rid of a heretic who knows as well as tho church does that he is simply a heretic. Chicago Times.

Itlmlison County. From the Norfolk News,. The prospects for a triangular fight in Madison county this fall are exceedingly brilliant at the present writing. Mrs. Colby, of Beatrice, arrived in tho city on Tuesday evening, ami remained over until this morning. Tho object of her visit was to or gauize a woman's Hutlrage associa tion here, and to have preparations mado for the proposed state con vention 80041 to bo held in this place. Last evening sho delivered an ad dress at the Congregational church, which was attentively listeuod to by a goodly-sized andieuce. On Saturday night last a most disgraceful row occurred at Senim ler'd saloon, which was participated in by about twenty-persons. A dance was going on iu tho hall above the saloon, aud a number of young bloods 'liquored up' too free ly for their own good aud tho rep utation of this community. The fight started in tho saloon, but the principal part of tho 'scene' was held on the sidewalk in frout of Mr. Semmler's place aud tho blacksmith shop of F. Deguer. A pitchfork and boards and clubs were freely used, aud uumorous wero tho sore heads made. Fred Boche and a cow-boy by tho name of Lyons were badly injured. Such scenes as this are a disgrace to our town, aud tho Town Board should take such steps as will prevent their repetition. Uodee County. From the Tribune. The western bound freight train on the S. 0. & P. roud that arrives at Freinout at 7 :14. a, in. met with a mishap as it was coniiug in Friday morning. A short distance east of the Elkhorn bridge a brako on one of the cars camo loose aud dropping onto tho rail was run over aud eight cars were telescopod. The regular trains were held hero sev eral hours while a temporary track was being laid around tho wreck. The damago will not bo very heavy aside from that sustaiued on the merchandise with which some of tho cars were loaded. Theron Nye has just mado the following shorthorn sales : To Mrs. Cooley, of Valley, the threo-y ear-old heifer 'Modesty's Gwendolen,' $200; 'Tot,' a ten-mouths' old heifer, from 'Loudon's Bonnie,' the sweepstakes cow at tho state fair, for $200. To Ed. Blcwctt, 'Village Lad,' Maggie May,' a yearling heifer from 'Mag gie Mitchell,' aud 'Zella Belle,' for $000. The above arc all fine ani mals and brought good prices. . Kattery in n. Tight IMace. A battery of tho first Artillery halted ono night during tho Seven Days' Fight iu a littlo clearing. The men lay down, unhitching their horses, but leaving them in harness. Tho first sergeant, now an honored officer of the Third Artillery, told me he got up and walked toward ono side of tho clearing. Ho was halted and turuod back by the seu tiuel. Going toward the other side he was again challenged. 'Who comes thar?' Tho voice struck him. He re plied, 'Friend,' and said, 'What reg iment is that?' Tho answer came 'Seventh Ala bama. 'What regiment is that on the othorsidel' 'Fifth Georgia,' ropliod the son tinol. 'What battory is that ?' Here was a situation. Tho Ser geant naturally didn't know the name of a battory iu tho robol army. Hesitation would have been fatal. By a lucky inspiration he roplied, 'One of Stuart's batteries,' knowing that Jeb Stuart commanded thoir cavalry. 'Oh,' said the other, 'then you's a hoss battery?' 'Yes,' said C . 'Good night." He immediately awoke the Cap tain, who rather angrily said, 'What tho deuco is the matter now?' 'Excuse mo, Captain,' said tho Sor geant, 'but we've carapod between a Georgia and an Alabama Regiment.' It is needless to say tho Captain got up. Horses wero hitched in quietly, and that battery withdrew. The Californian. Thought from Lundor. Life is but sighs, and when they cease 'tis-over. Tho purest water runs from the hardest rock.

Only one week ago a steamship was crossing the Atlantic Ocean, ami a fashionable American wom-in at a dinner ono day sud to a follow pas senger from Washington : Mr. , do you know Mr?. Gar field ?' 1 do not know her well,' hh"i1 the gentleman; '1 know Goneral Gar field's mother.' I am told,' said the female, 'that President Garfield's wife is a very common, vulgar sort of person.' 'Well,' said the gentleman, with a slight color in his face, 'if to be the only educated woman who has been for years in the White House, aud tho only wife of any President who can speak French and German and prepare her childrcu in their Latin for college, and who is an upright woman in every respect, aiuWs mod est as sho is upright, constitute her a common, vulgar 'woman, that sho must be.' The fashionable female was slight ly confused, but that man was a good deal of a favorite with men and women during the rest of tho trip. Brooklyn Eagle. Tho autopsy reveals something from which ono may infer the ter rible sufferings of tho President. During one of tho last sad days at Elberon he was seized with one of those severe spasms of pain which he tried in vain to conceal from his wife. As sho took his hand with the inquiry. 'What hurts you, dear?' he replied, 'It hurts to live!' The last day of his life, Colonel Rockwell says, General Garfield was fully aware that his hour was at hand. He made this remark and in quiry : 'Rockwell, I fully realize my situaliou ;' and then, after a long silence, said with pathetic intensity. 'Do you think my name will have a place in human history?' To which his friend answered: 'Yc3, a grand one, but a grander place in human hearts.' When, on one occasion, he was wheeled on his bed from his own room acros3 the hall, Colonel Rockwell said: 'You have mado this short journey so well that you can easily attempt a longer one.' 'Yes,' he replied, 'It cau easily ex pand into the long, long journey home.' Inter-Ocean.
