The efforts being made by Mr.
Welch's numerous friends to nomi
nate him for Governor is a flank
movement against no one. Mr.
Welch is known to be a man emi
nently-fltted Gubernatorial
chair , and as a staunch , true , and
long-tried Republican , and His
friends are striving as they have a
perfect right to do to secure for
him the nomination. The defeat
of Judge Crounse is only a second
ary consideration , and if brought
about will not bs on account of 'par
ticular hostility to him ( Crounse )
but because of a higher regard for ,
and a greater trust in Mr. Welch.
Mr. W. has for long years ably and
effectively labored for the interests
of the Republican garty in Nebras
ka , and has never asked reward al
its hands by vote of the people ;
while Mr. Crounse has never labor
ed actively or prominefitly , for the
Republican party in tliis State , and
has continually asked and received
political advancement at Its hands.
Knowing that Northern Nebraska
may not have Governor and Con
gressman , the majority of Republi
cans , therefoie , decide in favor o :
Governor , and it but remains for
friends south of thePlatte
to cooperate
rate to make Mr. Welch's nomina
tion , * a certainty. This would ,
of course , entitle South Platte
to the member of Congress ,
and any able and true man whore
the Republicans there might en
dorse in force , would , without doubt ,
reoeivo the warm support of Mr.
Welch's friends in northern Ne
braska. This is the true situation ,
and as no ono has ever tried to con
ceal it , the BEE'S boast that it has
unmasked a deep laid plot is nol
only farcical , but extremely silly.
As to the BEE'S challenge for us
to show that Mr. Crounse has been
guilty of official corruption , or that
} jp fjas proved "incapable or imbe
cile , " wo are frjjnk to say that we
will not accept it , npvpr haymg
made a charge of that ija't'iire ,
or having hjnted at it. Mr.
C. has made a vpry fair
member , and has , we believe ,
conducted himself with fairness to
wards his constituents , as ho was
in duty bound to do , and yet we
have no. knowledge that ho has
served with that distinguished abil
ity which places him head and
shoujders above other prominent
men in the State , qr entitles him to
'
official honors over allo'tjicrs'cst ] \
Faint JlopuWlaw , August Qth ,
Now , that the official organ of
Brigadier General Welch has exhi
bited thp ploven hoof , there can be
no further deception as to the real
motives of that underlie this flank
movement. To us their scheme was
transparent from the very outset.
Coupled with the following signifi
cant endorsement that appears in
anotljorcqlumn qf tlje same paper it
becomes very transparent even to
the most stupid observer ,
"Among the several Republicans
in this State , who have been spoken
of in connection wiih the Congres
sional nomination , we know of no
one more competent or worthy than
Hon. Henry M. Atkinson , ofBrown-
yille. So far as we can learn , Mr. A.
is not seeking the nomination , but
should his numerous friends
in Northern , and Boutborn Ne
braska succeeded in inducing him
to allow his name to come before
the Republican Convention , we be
lieve his nomination could be easily
secured. Mr Atkinson would make
a member of Congress of whom the
Republican party and the State of
Nebraska might well be proud.
The BEE has no desire to dispar
age ! the superior qualities of Grand
ma Tlpton's gon.Jn-jaw in the capacity
niP'
pacity ' of a railroad lobbyist or Indian
P'di
dian Commissioner , neither would
dih diw deny him the right to contest
honorably < for the high position to
which he aspires.
It occurs to us , however , that
Mr. Atkinson's aspirations should
Jlm based on broader claims than
mere partizan loyality. Lik'e Gen
eral Welch , he is a graduate of the
land office and Indian agency , and
sad experience teaches us that
that school does not turn out model
thG
Governors or Congressmen. *
It also strikes us that Judge
Crounse's congressional record en
titles him to an endorsement of the
titRi
Republican parly and the people of
Nebraska. On the other hand , it
does not seem plausible that Gener'f (
Welch would voluntarily sacrifice
lucrative land office appointment
for a § 1,000 Governorship , unless
somebody : stood behind him ready
make up the difference.
In conclusion we will state that we
deem it unnecessary to answer the
Jtcpullican's < contemptible fling thai
Judge Crounse is a chronic office
hunter. That charge could only origi
nate in the brain of the political
hypocrites who in one sentence dis it
avows all hostility to him and in
next shows the cloven hoof by
pronouncing against him.

EDITOR BEE :
The late rains hav ? been a de
cided advantage to the crops , not
withstanding the dry weather has
already cut short the corn , in many
places , late corn has began to silk ,
and late potatoes have began to
grow , and if seasonable will make a
fair ; crop in this county.
The grass , which was almost dead
in many places , has revived and is
growing nicely ; it was suddenly
changed from a dry , burnt color tea
a green and healthful appearance.
The farmers are very much discour-
aged on account of a partial failure
of crops , but have some hopes by
prospects of the rains of last week.
The grasshoppers are yet to be
seen all over the country , but not in
quantities to do much damage. As
there wnl be a shortage of corn
there will more hay cut than usual ,
which is short and not in very pay
ing quantities , but will bo good
where it can be found. The dam
age this year by the grasshoppers
will not be near equal to 18GC ; they
were not so large this year , and did
not seem seem so destructive and
not in such quantities.
The farmers in this locality have
very little reason to complain , on
account of their crops , they are far
better off than in many localities
where they will be compelled to buy
all their feed. Here grass is lar
better and corn is not damaged but
little , as the "invaders" did not
stop hut one day , and then went
south.
As it has been a nia.tter of interest
for some tinip among the farmers to
collect the best wheat for seed ; that
which will provp the most profita
ble and best adapted to the country.
By experiment , the grass wheat
proves to bo the best now raised in
Nebraska. It is a soft grain , much
smaller than the China tea. It was
recommended last year by the
Prairie Farmer , to be the best and
most profitable in its yield ; will far
excell the tea , and it has many ad-
vontagres over all other wlieqt nq\v
ki'iowuin the State. It ripohs'muoh
later , and is not ready to harvest
until after all other wheat and oats
are cut , and can be cut in perfect
safety , two weeks after being per
fectly ripe , without shelling out.
The straw is very soft and clastic ,
which makes It easily bqimd. , long
after rjp'eneil , and the sheaves are
less liable to come loose on account
of the straw being much stronger.
It yields from 20 to 38 bushels to the
acre , and will average about 24
bushels. It stools out nioro than
any other wheat kn.own , and will
grow much thicker , and is less lia
ble to blow down.
Tht ) grofrs wheat has not long been
Introduced in Nebraska ; it was first
raised in the southeast part of the
State , where it has been tried by
the farmers ; it Is preferred to any
other like grain , as it has many ad
vantages over other wheat. Mr. I.
N. JLeynord , six miles northwest of
Lincoln , Nebraska , will have about
400 bushels this year , of which
about halt is arpa.dy } engaged for
seed. The flour made from it will
far excel other spring wheat , and is
about equal to fall wheatand is pre .
ferred by all millers who have tried
it on account of its softness.

For the past day or two there has
been ii. this city a colored man who
presents in himself a queer physio
logical 1 < freak. He is thirty-four
years of age , thick set , of medium
height , of fair intelligence , and was
born in Manchester , England. He
gains a livelihood "by exhibiting
himself to physicians. His abelo-
men j is naturally full , but at will ,
without the use of his hands , he
gives a wave-like motion , and it
gradually sinks in as if being wound
ga gu , until it apparently rests close
against the back-bone , and he
presents the appearance of a man
with no abdomen , and then in
the same manner he rolls it out to
its original form. He then drops
from under his ribs a duplicate set
of ribs , with a breast bone , when
the original libs and the duplicates
can be distinctly felt and counted ,
and the whole front of the body is ,
as it were , iron-clad. Or , at will.he
apparently drops his heart from its
natural position some twelve inch
es , puts it back and sends it to the
right side of the body , opposite its
natural position , puts it back and
sends it to the lower part of the
body on the right side , thus putting
it in four different positions. During
the.-e changes the two sounds of the
heart can be distinctly heard in
either of thP new positions , and
not where they usually are heard.
It seems to he noQoasftry , however ,
that affer each change it should go
back where it belongs before being
sent to a new quarter. He also has
the power to stop the beating of his
heart at will froiu five to ten seconds
at a time , the pulse stopping at the
same time. He seems also to have
