It is a strange statement, but it may bo true, that fresh milk from America is now sold in London.

J AaetMer Phase. latest developments The in the Qnackenbusb case, as far as we can learn, are that on Friday last Coroner Heintz issued aud Sheriff Kavanaugh received a warrant for the arrest of Frank Smith and George Matthews. The last Democrat (Saturday) says : "We understand a warrant was issued on the verdict over a week ago." Several citizens would like to know the source or foundation of this "we understand." If Mr. Heintz issued his warrant over a week prior to Sat urday last, aud placed it in the hands of an officer, he didn't know it on Monday of last week, when we inter viewed him. Mr. Kavanaugh tells us he received the warrant on Friday, so that if Mr. Heintz issued it before that time, he must have placed it in the hands of some other officer. Will Mr. Heintz or the Democrat tell who that other officer was, or will they acknowledge to an evident, almost self-evident intention to mislead the public, and crawl out under an indef inite "we understand"? The truth is that the conduct of Mr. Heintz in this matter is deserving of tbo severest reprehension. Ho has not done his duly, since the moment the verdict was placed in nis possession, ana whether bis dereliction is owing to his ignorance of the law, to bad ad vice or to a combination of untoward circumstances and dispositions, we are not just ablo to say. Every decent man of this community has been ask ing himself the questions the past week : Why do we have coroners to sit in iuqucst over the bodies of those who dio mysteriously? "Why have we had great bills of expense hereto fore by our coroner, when scarcely anybody questioned the mannor of death of many of tho bodies over which tho iuqucst was held ? If the chosen officers of tho law do not move when tho law is violated, what may we next expect? This is no mere personal matter in volving tho liberty or life of two or "more lecherous young men who low ered themselves beneath tho brnte creation in tho gratification of their unhallowed passions, it is a question of vital importance to this community, to its social life, even to its businoss success. Execute tho laws faithfully, honestly, conscientiously, impartially, or be prepared to submit to outrage, rapine, riot and plunder. Execute the laws even against your highest officials; executo the laws even against those supposed to bo in high standing. Let it be understood, at its full meaning, at once and always, that he who obeys tho laws or strives to tho best of his ability to do so, is a good citizen, and that he who does not is not a good citizen bnt a bad one, no matter what his name or sta tion may be. No good citizen but deplores tho state of affairs existing in tho city ; none but arc grieved that this matter involves acquaintances and frionds respected, for whom heartfelt sym pathy involuntarily goes out; but yet not one good citizen lends bis counte nance to tho unlawful acts of public officials, or to winking at crime. In short, persons pass, principles are eternal. Vice is ever opposed to vir tue; order to lawlessness; right to wrong; duty to neglect. As with in dividuals so with communities, there is no standing still. "Wo thin Co lumbus ought to improve. Each time a man is called upon to choose between presidential candi dates is a fit occasion to review the grounds upon which ho stands, polit ically, and confirm and strengthen prior action and sentiments, or change them for better. "What is there inthe candidates or the principles of the Republican party that would lead those who supported Fremont, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes or Garfield in former campaigns, to now refuse their vote to Blaine, and give it to Cleveland? The great party is much the same, as heretofore and certainly devoted to the interests of the country; it be lieves in the perpetuity of our free institutions, and in making them con form to tho spirit of progress, the spirit of intelligence and justice which, more than ever, are influenc ing the human race, and bearing men forward to the greater conquest of nature; it believes in solid work, one good thing at a time fully accomplish ed ; then another, taking first the duty that lies nearest. A very few words outline this phase of the party's his tory: no further concessions to the slave power; and when that power sought to overthrow the government because tho administration of Abra ham Lincoln was favorable to the restriction of slavery, tho Republicau party held to its faith, preserved the Union aud the government, re-instated the authority of the United States over all tho territory occupied by the insurgents; mado good the promises to the defenders of the nation ; made our paper money as good as gold ; haB held and still will hold tho business interests of this country under espe cial care, protecting our rights when assailed from any quarter, and push ing our claims wherever commerco may extend; tho republican party means that our business shall thus extend, or know the reason why. Developing our resources, estab lishing manufactories of our own, making thus homo markets for our products aud becoming more and more a people able to furnish our selves with what we uced, self-sustaining, we shall grow stronger and better for every good purpose, and leave the generations aftor us greater opportunities than wo have had. It is only necessary to say further, that what the Republican party has been for good, the democratic party has been opposed to it in evcrvthing. It is not worth while to institute any comparison of candidates. Mns. Makgaukt Mouuk, who has been oue of the indefatigable laborers for the land Icasrue in Ireland, in now iu this country. She will speak for ireiana m ane naa opportunity, Blaise's Basiaeaa Talk. The most enthusiastic greetings from multitudes of people have met Mr. Blaine at every point on his trip through Ohio. At Hamilton on the 1st, he spoke to tho immense crowd of people as follows : Citizens of Ohio : It is now forty years since tho question of protective tariff engaged the attention of the American people as profoundly as it does to-day. It was in the contest between Clay and Polk, in 1844, that the great national debate on the ques tion took place and the protective tariff was defeated, not by a popular vote, but by the bad faith of the party which succeeded in the election, and I beg to call the attention of a large manufacturing population to the fact that the policy of protecting Ameri can industry has never been defeated in the United States by a popular vole. Great cheering. A contrary policy has been forced on the people at different times through the bad faith of their representatives, but .nev er, I ropeat, by popular vote upon a deliberate appeal to the people in their primary capacity. Renewed cheer ing. It, therefore, would seem to be the duty of the people of the United States, if by a majority they believe in the policy of protection, to see to it that the party is sustained which can be trusted to uphold it. "Good," "Good," and cheers. Yes, but said a gentleman to me yesterday, protec tion does not always secure abundant prosperity. There are a great many idle men in the country. "Well, grant that there has never yet been a policy devised by the art of man that will insure, through all times and seasons, a continuous flow of prosperity, but the question is whether, over a given series of years, there has not been a larger degree of prosperity to the people under tho policy of protection than under the policy of free trade. This question is to be gauged and tested, not by the experience of a 6ingle year, but by the experience of a series of years. "We have had a protective tariff now for more than three decades, and I ask you whether there ever has been another period in which tho United States has made such progress as during the last twen ty years. "Never," "never," and cheers. But it is true that now and then there will como a littlo lull and a little reaction in business. There will come a little lull and a little re action cvon in tho laws of nature. Yon had a great drought in Ohio this year, but you do not on that account avow that you will have no more rains. Great cheering. On the con trary, you are more firmly persuaded that rain is the only clement that will restoro fertility to your soil, verduro to your fields and richness to your crops. So in this littlo slough this littlo dullness in the business of the country the one great element that can bo relied on to restore prosperity is a protective tariff. Renewed cheer ing. The question then is for Ohio to decido on the 14th day of this month. You will havo an opportu nity to tell the people of tho United States whether you believe in that doctrino. If you do, you will secure not only its countenance, but its per manent triumph. Applause. If, on the other hand, you should falter and fall back it might produce disas ter elsewhere. A responsibility is on you. Is your conrage equal to your responsibility? "Yos," "yes." Is your confidence equal to your cour age? "It is," "it is." Then I have nothing more to say, except to bid you good-byo. Enthusiastic and prolonged cheering. larders Most Foal. "We learn from the Fullerton Tele scope of the 3d inst., of four horrible murders committed about twelve miles west of Fullerton on Horse Creek, in Nance county. Tho victims are Henry Pcrcival, his wife and little child, and their noighbor Hugh Meyer. Mr. Pcrcival was found near a haystack at his barn, shot through the body a few inches below his right arm. His right arm and face were torn away by hogs. Mrs. Percival and the little girl were in bed, the mother shot through the neck and the child through the head. A little farther up the creek, Hugh Meyer, with whom only lodges George Fer nival, was found in his bed up stairs, shot through the head. The bodies were badly decomposed. Mr. Perci val had been at Fullerton on the pre vious Monday, and had left late in the afternoon for home with a load of lumber. It is the opinion of the pub lic that these diabolical murders were committed Monday night. Suspicion rests on one Baird or Fcrnival. Tues day morning previous to finding the bodies, one of Percival's horses with Baird's was left at Robert's livery in Fullerton by a man, whose descrip tion might apply either to Baird or Fernival, and who bought a ticket on the morning train for Council Bluffs. Up to tho time of writing the above account nothing had been heard of Baird or Fernival. That the murder was committed for plunder seems scarcely doubtful, as almost every thing of value was taken from the house of Percival. It is now thought that Fcrnival and Baird, the missing men, arc the murderers, their absence increasing the strength of the suspi cion against them. Later dispatches from the scene of the shocking murders in Naucc coun ty slate that tho dead body of Baird had been found in a creek not far from tho place of the murders. The suspicions now are strongly directed to the othor missing man Furncval, as the guilty party, but his friends are very confident that he is innocent, and that his dead body will be found as one of the victims of these whole sale and fiendish murders. It is now claimed also that tho investigation under tho direction of tho coroner shows that tho person of Mrs. Pcrcival had been outraged, and that the party or parties who committed this crime also most probably committed the murders. Furnoval, the missing and suspected man, is about fivo feet eight inches high, with a fair com plexion, somewhat freckled, and will weigh about 140 pounds. Nance county has offered a roward of $1,000 for the capture and convic tion of the perpetrators of the foul murders. Governor Dawes will also issue a proclamation offering tho To wards authorized by law. The Journal des Debuts at Paris Bays "If England persists in embit tering oar relations with China, and in violating onr rights in Egypt, we be compelled to accept dependence on uennany. i "Tories" of the State Journal says : "A ppecial political agent has spent some time visiting and anal) zing the St. John clubs of Illinois. He was at first astonished to find that the ma jority of the members were dem ocrats, while the workers and talkers were all democrats, or nearly so. Studying the problem, be found an easy explanation of the apparently remarkable situation. The St. John democrats arc merely decoys who will get as many republicans as pos sible pledged to vote for the pro hibition candidate. When election day comes the deluded republicans will vote for St. John, but the dem ocrats will cast their ballots for Cleveland straight. It is a nice scheme, but it is a little too trans parent for this day and age of the world. It won't work." Time was whpn the last Democratic candidate for president that was elected was called ten-cent Jimmy now they call tho current candidate five-cent Grover. Intelligent readers of course know the meaning of these phrases. Every fourth year that tho peoplo of thiB country have been asked to trust the Democratic party with power, they have refused. Re fused now for twenty-four years, since the last Democratic president avowed there was no power in the general government to coerce a seceding state, and allowed treason to run riot in the capital of the govern ment and organize itself into seces sion. The Bufl'alo Evening Nevis, having assorted that Cleveland would carry Buffalo, desired that some idiot with money be led out to invest his money on a contrary opinion, tho Telegraph says that over two weeks ago a life long democrat and leading citizen of Buffalo offered to wager $100 on each of these propositions: that Cleveland docs not carry his own ward, his own assembly district ; Bufl'alo; Erie coun ty; New York state; the United States, and $100 that he will win al'l these bets, if they aro taken. This wager still stands uulakcu. A vr.uY intelligent German of Platto county, in conversation Satur day concerning the political situa tion, said that he was reading party papers on both sides and ho had noted this peculiarity, viz: the Dem ocratic papers deal mostly in abuse of their opponents, while the Republi can papers talk businoss right along, advocating tho election of Blaine as boing a good thing for the country, lie thought that any of his country men who were undecided would do well to read both sides and come to their own conclusion. The republican campaign was open ed the other evening at Kearney by a grand street parade headed by the Kearney band and escorted by mounted torch-bearers. Arriving at Moore's hall they were addressed by Hon. A. II. Connor, who discussed the merits of the democratic party, the treasonable record of Hendricks and the pretended anti-monopoly rec ord of Cleveland. His speech met with frequent applause. II. M. Sin clair and J. E. Shipman also address ed the meeting. Those democratic and auti-monop-oly editors, who are slandering Geo. W. E. Dorsey, the republican candi date for cougrcss, are not entitled to the confidence of the public, in any thing they may say politically, be cause if they will lie so outlaudishly in one thing they will do so in anoth er. Mr. Dorsey is a generous-hearted magnanimous man, alive to tho inter ests of this district, and will keep himself well informed as to the needs of every portion of the district. It is reported that some wicked person fired into the car the othor night in which Gov. St. John sat on his way from Carlisle to Tcrre Haute, Ind. The ball passed through the window on the opposite side, making a clean hole, lodging in the side on which St. John sat, and a little in front of him. No one hurt, and no body knows who fired the shot. The Hastings Gazette-Journal lik ens Dr. Miller of the Omaha Herald to Mark Twain's sea sickness the first hour ho was so sick ho thought he would die, but he was so much worse the second' hour, that he was afraid he wouldn't dio. So the Doc tor's dish of crow is so fearfully awful, that he has to hold his sensitive nose to prevent nausea. Leavenworth, Ks., obtains the lo cation for the western branch of the soldiers home, and has had a joyous time over the decision of tho board. The homo will be built on (550 acres of land beautifully located on the river bank, three miles below tho city. The city donates the land and $50,000 to aid in tho erection of the buildings. Sheriff C. W. Best, of Central City, captured tho man J. W. Smith, alias Davis, who forged a check for $250 on Ilcnshaw & Reynolds, and will be entitled to the ?50 reward off ered ; ho secured tho forger at St. Paul, tho other night, and safely lodged him in jail. All the money was recovered from him oxcept $10. Tuos. Maiieu, an inmate of the Lan caster county poor house, committed suicide the other day by cutting his throat with a piece of glass, from the effects of which ho died. He was about 50 years old, and had been in the poor house about four weeks. He had no relatives in the vicinity, and no cause is assigned for the act. J. O. Laughi.in, died the other oveniug whilo the passenger train was stopj'ing at North Platte for supper. His homo is in Hamburg, Iowa, to which place it is believed ho was going.

Congressman John F.

Hon. G. W. E. Dorsey and J. T. Tate held a republican meeting at Stanton the othor evening both mak ing able speeches. Mr. Dorsey dis cussed the tariff and other issues and showed that the republic is only sale in the hands of the republican party.

JolUNAI-.j Kimtor Journal: Tho editor ot the Columbus Wochcnblatl, in its last issue, after a few preliminary sentences stating his preference of Mr. Nevillo for congress goes on to give his readers the following reasons for opposing Mr. Dorsey : 1. Because ho is a Republican and as such an enemy of the foreign-born, especially the German-Amoricau clo ment. 2. Because in supporting a Dawes and a Roggcn he indorses the school land robberies of our present admin istration. 3. Because he is a tool of the rail road and money -monopoly, and even used his influence in making the sad condition of the laboring classes dur ing tho grasshopper years still worse. 4. Because although a good busi ness man he is a sorry statesman ; and would, if sent to congress, occupy the same insignificant position there, that he does now at campaign meet ings, allowing himself (like Barnum's white elephant) to be seen, but not heard. Now, Mr. Editor, some of us Ger man Republicans would like to have you answer, iu your next issue, the above arraignment of the character and previous career of our candidate for congress. Dispelling at the same time tho WochcnblaWs silly notion of our begging admittance into the Dem ocratic fold. Especially with regard to number one above, we would like to know whether the Republican party is, or ever has been, the party of "retrogres sion" "fanaticism" "hypocricy" and "knoicnothinyisni" (expressions pick ed at random fiom tho WochcnblaWs tirades against Republicanism), leav ing it to the Democracy to advocate progress, liboral ideas, morality and equal rights for all. Do not spare your ink, Mr. Editor, we mean business. Some of us whose cradles were rocked on the other side of the Atlantic tako tho liberty to peruse the history of our adopted land, which wo have learned to love, to draw our own conclusions from its pages and to think for ourselves M. B. Where I Stand. Editok Journal : The word "des pairingly" should have road dis-par-ag-ing-ly ; despairingly is a word that I never took any stock in. Whom shall I voto for? Well, I presume for whom I please Blaine and Logan in this case, and in any caso for the man whom I consider the best, regardless of the size of his feet or tho cut of his hair. Hcnsley's sarcasm and Higgins's editorials aro immense koen politi cians and talented attorneys and of courso anything thoy say no man has any right to dispute. Docs Democ racy mean that once they apply a brass collar on a man, that ho has no right to f-qucal? If such is tho case, then neither Democracy nor Repub licanism shall encircle my neck with such oruaments. Respectfully, J. J. Maughan. -roiix TinoTiiv, NOTARY PUBLIC AND CONVEYANCER.
