In view of the fact that only fet

lion , the Herald's harmonious r <
marks must be interpreted in
purely Pickwickian sense.
TIIE Herald charges Nebrask
.Republicans with a failure to afliri
the right of the people to home ruli
or local self-government. For oi
part , we fail to comprehend why tb
Republican party should affirm
principle that is universally cor
ceded to be the corner stone of oi
federal government. If , howove ;
home rule is another name forStat
rights , according to the great Soul
Carolina nullifier , we certainly can
not blaaio the Republicans for fail
ins to affirm this dangerous dog
mu.
THE effect of the extortlonat
transportation rates exacted by th
Iowa pool is strikingly exhibited b ,
the following transaction , as reporl
ed by the Chicago Tribune of September
tember 4th :
As an illustration of the uncci
taiuty of the grain trade , wo cite ;
transaction which closed a day 01
two ngo. A merchant here pur
chased in Nebraska a lot of wheat
paying CO cents a bushel. He soli
it here at 93J cents per bushel , tbj
freight , storage , and other charge
for handling amounting to 44 } cent
per bushel , leaving him 49 cents i
bushel for what cost him GO cents
The cost of transportation was 31
cpnts per bushel.
A MOST remarkable indifferenci
seems to bo exhibited by the Jfo
braska Grange organization wltl
reference to the impending desti
tution among the homesteaders it ;
the Republican Vallcv and North'
western counties. It is not a little
singular that they exhibited auol
unseliish liberality last spring to
ward the sufferers in the inundated
districts of the lower Mississippi
Valley , and now when their next
door neighbors are threatened with
want and starvation they remain
inactive. If over the Grange or
ganization is to give practical proofs
of usefulness , this is certainly a
golden opportunlty-
FOR the beneflt of people who are
seeking to manufacture political
capital against General McBride ,
from the fact that articles of im
peachment had been recently pre
ferred against him as olork of Col-
fax county , we will quote the yer-
dict promulgated by the County
Commissioners , who , in this case ,
ivere acting as a court of impeach-
uent. It reads as follows :
"In the matter of the charges
md specifications preferred against
r. C. MeTJride , County Clerk , by J.
\V. \ 3ko\vn , the Commissioners hon-
> rably acquit him on all the charges
md specifications , aud render Judg-
nent for costs against the coiuplain-
int , Brown. "

y ignored by the Republican party

lemocratic convention next Satur-
ay. Union , Aug. 31st.
Saturday came , and with it the
Democratic convention , but no
amcs were presented by the work-
igmen , as predicted by the Union.
nd this striking discrimination in
, vor of the Bourbons would seem
i amply justify the course pursued
, ' the Republican convention. If
:0 : workingmen , or rather the
radcs' Assemblj' , had treated the
epublicans as they did the Democ-
cy , simply presenting resolutions
[ pressing a desire to be represented
their State convention , their pe-
ion would doubtless have received
oper attention ; but inasmuch as
cy arrogated to themselves the
jht to name the Republican dele
tes their request could uotconsist-
tly be granted. And this natu-
! ly leads us to the pertinent inqui-
, why did not the Trades' Assem- t

EDITOR BEE :
As the weather is getting coole
now , and the mind is more actlv
than when it was one hundred i
the shade , your correspondent ho
taken upon herself the plcasac
duty of sending you a few line ;
that the outs.de world may knoi
that the Columbus Girl Has awakac
ed from her lethargy.
The city of Columbus continues t
build up , and the new briok build
Ings of Bonested Brothers , Tunic
& Hulsr , and Mr. Bakar , mock thei
surroundings with beaut/ and gran
dour. The citizens generally ar
pleased to sea those great and sul

midst ; only the temperance folk
will not like to see a portion of Mi
Baker's building used as a billian
hall and saloon. But opposition i

do not like it will have to quietl :

The organisation of the Sons o
Temperance has flourished here fo
over one year and still continues t (
thrive under the regime of Hon. A
M Buokloy as AVorthy Patriarch
who is a young lawyer with brl h
prospects beforp hjm.
Some of our good citizens ha\ ' (
recently organized a lodge of Qooc
Templars here. What success wil
attend their efforts remains to be dfr
terniined. The meetings of sucl
organizations are oft times regaided
as places of flirtation by outside in
dividuals , but such is not the case
here , as the young ladies who at
tend these meetings , wtb veiy feyt
exceptions , come and go away alone ,
Thus it 13 plain to be seen that our
temperance societies and their indi
vidual members have some noblec
and loftier objects to accomplish
than mere childish flirtation.
Largo quantities of wheat con
tinue to come into our markets.
There seenisto be some opposition
ju the wheat trade , ns there are a
number of buyer * * , and that com
modity always brings a good price.
The farmers who come to town , as a
general thing , look gloomy on ac
count of the grasshopper plngua.
But "The d.arkest cloud has its fcil-
ver lining. "
The ladies of Columbus regret
that the Misses Langhclf are going
out of business. About one year
and a half ago the young ladies
started in business here as milliners
and dressmakers. They did very
well up to the present time , and
now , as they have closed , Columbus
is left without a dress maker. A
new house going up on a claim ex
plains the story. A good chance is
now offered for other parties. But
just at present we could not guaran
tee tjiat a , npw { louse would fie up
on another claim very soon.
On Monday evening , August 24 ,
Prof. Schaller , a musical teacher of

istened throughout with profound
Hence and attention to the display
if musical talents by the Professor ,
md his pupils. Miss Jnsaphine
Jremer played the piano while
tf rs. Platte Baker and Miss Lizzie
Jaker sang. The citizens were
veil pleased viih the efforts of
hese worthy young ladies , and ex-
> ect that the time is near at hand
rhen they will become proficients
n their undertakings. After the
oncert was over , there was a ball ,
nd many hearts beat merrily.
lour correspondent , being a wo-
lan , but withal a woman like

bout what is going on in politica.
I believe two of our citizens , Mr.
'ompton ' and Mr. Becher , are hav-
ig some trouble about an office ; but
'hat is the nature ot that trouble ,

ike to decide. All are entitled to
leir rights before the law but the
lachinery is worked by men , with

Nebraska's Contingent.
( Chicago Tribune , Sept. 4th. )
A contingent Congressman has
pn nominated by the Republicans
Nebraska. The contingency in-
Ived is the granting of an addi-
nal Representative to the State
the grace of Congress. The pop-
ition of Nebraska at the last cen-
i was 129,322. This is something
low the number required for one
presentative. But a State cen-
i has recently been taken , and 1
iwa the present population to be
the neighborhood of 300,000
ugress has , in one or two in-
iicos , violated the law which
ividej that the apportionment o
[ > reeontallvcs to each State shai ;
lain unchanged between the
Ing of two successive censuses _
I it Is supposed that the prece-
it thus established may be
owed 1 the case of
brtU'ka. The fate of the con-
jeut Congressman , wo fancy ,
1 depend very much upon the 1
itical complexion of the House
he happens to present his
ms. If the Republicans are in a
jority ho will of course be re
ed ; if the Republicans are in a
ill majority , and have use for
more devotid follower , ho will
y likely be admitted. The con-
jtional provision in respect to
apportionment of Congressmen
i-ery plain ; but for weighty
ion , it has been generally al-
ed that every legislative body is
sole judge of the qualifications
ts members. Hence Congress
i pretty much as it chooses
