OMAHA , NEB. , Sept.t 1st , 1874. HON. E. ROSEWATEB , Editor Omaha Daily BEE , DEAR SIR : In an article in youi paper last evening , headed , "A Postoffice Paul Pry , " you take the liberty of using my name , and the misrepresentations you make are so inexcusable and uncalled for that I do not feel justified in allowing it to pass. You say I expressed surprise at the "mistake. " I donotremem- mer making any expression at all , but if I did , it certainly was not sur prise. I remember the clerk hand ing you the letter with an explana tion and apology that seemed to be perfectly satisfactory to you , and would have been entirely satisfacto ry to me if It had been my letter. The opening of the letter , as he ex plained , was not a mistake , but an accident , nud one that I should think was very liable to ooour. As you have already given my name to the public , I ask you to publish this. Yours for justice , SAM. BAUSERMAN. The above letter came to us too late for Tuesday's publication. As the columns of the BEE are ever open to any explanations , whether favorable or not , we publish the above , even though the proprietor is absent. From a conversation with him , however , when here , we can say that ho admitted that he ? aid "it's ull right , " ih reply to the juestion whether the money con tained iu the letter corresponded trith the statement , but any one at mce can see that in order to be able o ask that question , the clerk must lave Luowu that there really was noney in it , and it was afterwards hat the suspicions referred to in Monday's issue were aroused. We have received a letter from a > roiniuent citizen proposing a meth- 1 of investigation which we think rill soon set this question at rest , , nd if the facts are as Mr. Stout rep- esents the BEE will exonerate him ti due time. Under any circum- tances , however , the public cannot void concluding that it is a very areless way of doing business in a est oflice. IF you have anything to sell at uction call on Cussen , Sixteenth oil Dodge streets , 8"pt3-2t THE STATE FAIR. The Buildings and Other Im provements. The large exposition building at the State Fair Ground Is now com pleted , and presents a very attract" ive appearance. A proposition has been made to place a fountain in the center of the building , which will be a great addition. The proper persons are now engaged in figuring on the proposition , which will quite "likely be accepted. A large amphitheatre , to cost $1,000 , and capable of ssating 1,500 persons , is to be erected immediate ly , the location being opposite the judges' stand. It is to bo a substantial structure , and will afford a commanding view of the race track. The necessary lumber has been purchased , and : was conveyed to the grounds yester day. The arrangements for this big improvement were concluded yesterday morning. All the cattle , hog and sheep pens have been completed , and will afford ample accommodation for all the stock that will be on exhibition. The race track is to be greatly im proved , and is to be fenced around the entire course. The Douglas County fair will take place before the State Fair , and will begin on the 22d of this month. Tiie State Fair will begin on the Everything will be in readiuess for the County Fair. It will be to Omaha's interest to see that the County Fair is largely attended and made a success. Tuesday night it was raining all along the line of the Union Pacific , and at a late hour it began snowing at Cheyenne , and was coming east ward at last accounts. It makes one think of bringing out his over coat. Mr. T. P. Elliott has entered into partnership with Mr. W. A. Pratt , of Chicago , for the purpose of carrying on the coal trade in this city , as the agents of E. L. Hed- strom & Co , of Chicago. Mr.Ellott } has long been engaged in the coal business in Omaha , and is well known here , while Mr. Pratt comes with the highest recommendations as a gentleman and a business man. Success is wished the new firm ol Elliott fr Pratt , ARMY INTELLIGENCE. Annual Detail for the Recruiting Service.

HALL , augld-toscpU Principal , ( Correspondence of the BEE. ) Omaha to Lincoln. Although 10:40 a. m. is the regu lar time for the departure of the westward bound passenger train over the B. & M. road , over which nobody seemed to have control , de layed our departure from the Omaha depot until noon. The chief cause of delay must be ascribed to the ex- ordinary demand for passenger coaches by the 200 political and mu sical excursionists who were seeking passage for the Capital city. Ours was , indeed , a motly as well as a jolly crew. There were jovial Teu tons , wiih their drums fifes , base viols , clarionettes , and silver plated brass instruments. There also were pious churchmen like Ijains and Ed. McShaue ; and there also were the political clans from nearly every county north and west. Seldom , if ever , did such antag onistic elements commingle so har moniously. This jovial harmony was , however , mainly to be as cribed to mellitluoua and exuberat ing influences of the excellent in strumental music of Thieles' City Band , backed by a keg of Metz & Brother's very best lager. The spiritual influence of that keg upon the political section of the excursion was strikingly exhibited by several Omahosses , whose boisterous hilari ty furnished considerable amuse ment to the boys. At the Plattsinouth junction we were reinforced by a number of C'ass county delegates , candidates and wire pullers. Amoug others , we noticed Master Porter of the State Grange. TIIE QKANQK INFLUENCE. In order to ascertain the extent and tendency of the Grange In fluence I engaged in conveesation with Master Porter , who informed ud he had just returned from Wash ington. In reply to the question whether he would consent to be come a candidate for Governor in case the Republican convention should nominate him , he replied very emphatically that ne should not consent siuce he had all he could attend to as Chief Granger ol the State. But , said he , 1 am going down to Lincoln to take a hand iu one thing , and that is the treasurer- ship. I propose to exert my inflU' ence to secure the nomination ol Mr. Clark. Who is Clark ? said I , and he replied. He is the cashier of the First National bank of Platts- inoutb. Consistency thou art a jewel , I ejaculated , mentally. Here we have the Grand Master of Nebraska Grangers openly co-operating with a bank monopoly , and advocating { he claims of a candidate who wapte tc become State Treasurer , in order tc be able to loan the people's money to his bank customers at 12 pet cent. Comment is unnecessary. THR POSTAL BRIGADE was jn full fore on the train ' , S.ej- } atbr 0 " u&nkec } by phie'f Bfeafj Clerk Yandervoort , Special Ageul Furay , Mail Clerk Adftiusky , and lesser lightn , were conspicuous in their button-holing attentions. They were evidently trying to feel the pulse of the delegates , with a view of being on the winning side. We reachwl Lipcaln ? it 4 p. m. , and found at least two-thirds of the delegates already on the ground. Button-holing and thimble-rigging were the order of the day. Briga dier General Welch had thrown ofl the mask and declared himself a candidate for Congress , thus verify ing the BEE'S prediction , made months ago. His chances , how ever , are decidedly slim. Garbei and Buckworth are the only men so far talked of for Governor , with Garber 'decidedly in the ascendant. Tzsehupk.Renner. Valentine and Gosppr are the candidates for Secre tary , while CJark , Bartjett , Weavei and MoUride are prominently men tioned for the Treasurc-rship. The opposition to Judge Crounse , which yesterday claimed to muster considerable strength , has finally become convinced that his renomi- nation is a foregone conclusion. Brigadier General Welch has just announced his decision to withdraw entjrply , and promise will be nomi nated by acclamation" . JlJhe Governorship - , orship is drifting with a very strong current toward Silas Garber , while the otRr offices will be hotly con tested , Last night the Llncolnites were regaled at their Opera House by the best Omaha Musical musical talent , composed of the ladies and gentle men of the Catholic Cathedral choir , and the orch stra of the Omaha Cjty Band , under the } oad- " ' ershtp of "Professor Deoke'r. The house was ' well filled and would , doubtless , have been crowded to overflowing , had npt a severe rajn storm prevented many from attend ance. The audience exhibited much enthusiasm and general satisfaction with the entertainment. E. R. Third Ward Eegiitr tion Notice.
