AVKST , the ncwi paper man killed during tbc lal ' New Orleans outbreak' , is describe by the New Orleans Jtcpublican s the same man whom General Bu ler sent to Fort Jackson Jn 1872 fc treasonale conduct. He has neve forgiven the United : States JTor tl indignity , and the glorious Stai and Stripes-have ever since had ti 3ect on him that a red rag has o tlVJJ , BEE7ICE HEFOBH AT THE SOUTH. President Grant has , according to reliable advices , publicly declared his determination , to inaugurate seine wholesome reforms in the civil service at the South. Itfis his intention that henceforth there shall be no just complaint on the score of federal office-holders in that region. "Whenever he found that an in competent or otherwise unfit man was holding a marshalship , a post- office or any other federal office , coming in contact with the people , he should promptly remove him , and appoint the best man resident in the community , in his place. He was .fully satisfied that some bad appointments had been madewhich had tended to stir up strife ; but he hoped to remove them just as soon as any charges -were preferred and sustained. " Ho intimates very emphatically that a programme is now under ad visement having for its object the appointment of a better class of federal appointees throughout the Southern States. "Whatever maybe bo the complaint of the Southern people about their State officials , Ibe President declares that there shall be none against those under the government. It is to be hoped that this programme will -be promptly put into execution. Itisan , Jndisputable fact that the social and'political disorders that prevail in the South have in a great measure been aggravated by corrupt and imbicile federal officials , who very frequently were the direct cause of riots and disturbances. ADD NEBRASKA. this caption the New York organ of putrid reminiscences , the World , undertakes to congratu late the Bourbons of the Empire State upon the enrollment of Ne braska under the banner of "hard money , free trade and home rule. " In this connection the following obarflcterjstie letter is embodied as a text for the llfcr/d's edttorjpl com ments : "OJiAitA , Neb. , Sept. 12 , ' 74. "Ifanton Garble , Esq. ; "DEAJt Stu : You will bo glad to observe the growing sentiment ihroughout the country in favor of 'Free Trade , ' 'Hard Money' and 'Home Rule. ' The Nebraska De mocracy have spoken in their plat form in the concise Jangupge of 41- linois and New York , hoping there by to aid in making it the creed of our national party. We have nom inated the strongest possjble ticket , some of which is bound to be elect ed. The opposition to the dominant party are also certain to have con trol of the Legislature. "Truly , etc. - "Chairman Democratic State Ceur tral Committee. " Now tno BEE ventures to assure the New fork Bourbons that Mr. Allen's sanguine prophecies are the outcroppings of a very imaginative brain. In the first place a large portion of the Nebraska Democracy have no faith in the platitudes of the Democratic platform. In the second place there is not the very remotest probability that any candidate on the Democratic State ticket will come within five thousand votes of being elected. Lastly , -wo appre hend that Jlr. Allen's prediction about our next legislature is based upon the assumption that a major ity of the Republican voters would either stay at home or vote the Bourbon ticket. Now wo say to the World in all candor , don't add Ne braska ! Don't rely on Allen as your political weather prophet , if you intend to publish a reliable al manac for 1875. WHO knows Silas Garber ? Albert Tuxbury has been a resident of the Stcte many years. He has filled prominent positions at the hands of the people. He is a man of un blemished record and repute. But who knows Silas Garber ? Wbat claim has ho to the first office in the gift of the people ? Herald. Who knows Alber Tuxbury out side of Otoocounty ? With the ex ception of a handful of Bourbon politicians of the "old settler" scbool , nobody has over heard of this fossilized Bourbon candidate. Fifteen years ace Nebraska con. tained 25,000 Inhabitants and the cn tire settlement was confined to the river counties. Those honest Old Settlers had it all their own way then. To-day Nebraska counts moro than a quarter of a million of people , and the old settlers have lost their grip on tbc offices. New men , and young men , are coming to the front , and43ilas Garber happens to bo one of Uiat class. A VERY bitter political contest is Mow-in progress in that portion of the Western Reserve known as General Garfield's District. Tne Democracy have made no .nomina tion , and the contest is narrowed down between General Garfield , the regulai Republican nominee , and JRey. R. H. Hurlburt , the Indepen dent Republican candidate , who counts upon the undivided support of the Democracy. So far the ad vantages appear to be with General Garfield. "No Germans need apply , " was the motto of the late Democratic Stale Convention. And now , as if to add insult to injury , the Bourbon organ is at great pains to berate the German candidate on the Republi can State ticket , when it well knowa that his record as a private citizen . i ami public servant is uuimpcacha- ' ble. TJ IE winning ways ot Uncondi tional Surrender Grant are forcibly illustrated by the following dispatch : "WASHINGTON , Sept 10. "Ib Gen. Emory , New Orleans : "Put down that insurrection ; re port afterwards. U. S. URANT. " TiiEDouglas county Democracy Men'sDem- have organizeda Young ocjitic club. A majority of these youthful Bourbons look back with emotional pride on the time when they voted for Jackson , Polk and Buchanan. ITEBEASKA SKETCHES. ( Special Correspondence of the BBS. ) BROWNVILLE , Sept. 21st , 1874. Having packed our collar boy , waxed our moustache and lubricated our left auricle we slid out for the U. P. depot , took the train for this place and , after wnirling through hah a dozen dilapidated looking Iowa vil lages , we passed into Missouri , and drew the reins on our fiery , un tamed iron mule at Phelps City , just across the "Big Muddy" from Brown ville. A furious storm and the lateness of the evening caused us to seek shelter in the Phelps House , where Mr. Robert White , the attentive landlord , made us very comfortable , furnished us with a tip-top bed and breakfast , and in. the morning we took McGee , Bailey & Co.'s stage for Brownville , which is now about the muddiest town in the west , Omalm excepted ; but in spite of the raud business is lively here , the streets being thronged all day with fanners marketing their grain and fruits. Bro\\nville has three good hotels , and each one takes the DAILY BEE , which they , as well as everyone else , considers the leading paper of Nebraska , But of all the hotels we have stopped at lately we must give the palm to the "Union , " kept by Air. Joseph Opelt , formerly of Phelps City , Mo. Immediately opposite the "Union House is an ele gant brick store , lately completed. M. L. Lowmaii occupies it , with a splendid assortment of clothing and gents furnishing goods. A little further down Main street we found Mr. George Marion , for- mVly of Omaha. He is keeping a general store , and by the number of customers'thronging his counter we should say he was doing.a thriving business. His accomplished lady keeps an extentive millinery store two doors farther down. Nearxthe foot of Main street our attention was attracted by a stack of guns , ttiat put us in mind of the jolly days whep wp used tp train with , the fa-r mous Omaha Rifles. Here "Crad- dock & Son sell larce quantitiesXof arms and ammunition , of the most improved kinds. Mr. W. H. Small has a fine store , where he supplies his numerous customers with the "staff of life , " andQth.ereooflthipg3 in ttie way of fruits and coufectioni ery. ery.The DAILY BEE , together with periodicals of all kinds , ntntlonery , fancy goods , &c. , are kept for sale by Mr , G. G- . Dunn , next door to the post office. We have not had time yet to visit the country , but we ar { n/nrflged tjiqt th.erp was a eplepfld 'prop of small grain harvested in this ( Ne- maba ) county , and the prospect was good for an extra yield of corn ; but about the 1st of July the weather became dry , an $ continued so yntjl ' " ' " thelstor8ept'emb"er. "This cut the corn badly , and the farmers now say that they will do well to get a half crop. On the bottom lands there is a fair crop , but on the up land corn is Ijght , Fruit is mpre than abundant. There are thousands of bushels of peaches in Ibis county that are be ing fed to stock. Mr. vJ. M. Kauf man , proprietor of the Brownville Nursery , says that there is a vast amount of fruit , shade and forest trees being planted in this part of thp county , and that eventually southern Nebraska is"bounfl be the finest fruit district in the west. The grasshoppers came here , but did not do much damage , and the eggs they deposited in the ground have mostly been hatched , and the late rains ha\ destroyed the young hoppers. Political mailers are very much mixed. The Republicans and Inde pendents have each a county ticket , and the candidates are all good men ( so it is said ) . The Temperance people ple held their convention on the 19th- and nominated a ticket , but chose four of their men from the other tickets , bringing out only one new man , n , Mr. Ewing for Representa tive. The Democrats have made no nominations. Brownsville has got a joke on her City Marshal , Mr. David Campbell , ( who is a leading member of the Good Templars , and one of the pil lars in the Temperance party ) . It seems that David conceived the idea of making a little trip to the rural districts of Kansas in prder that he might lake a little rest from the ex citement and turmoil of political life. On arriving at Alchison , he took a whirl around town , sampling meanwhile as much "silk-finish" as ever old "Uncle Johnny Stan ton did in his palmiest days. Finally , Da vid ( like his illustrious namesake of ancient fame ) became enamored with another man's wife , and thought that though "black , yet she was comely. " Ho followed her and she remonstrated , but still , nothing daunted , he kept on and went homo with her , and proceeded to make love in the most ardent manner , * when his sable oharraer ordered him to leave the house. But David drew his revolver ver and polnting.it around careless , ly caused considerable excitement , which soon attracted a largo crowd , including some half dozen police men , who looked on in awe , for the valiant Marshal insisted on being master of the situation , and solemn ly promised that ho would perfor ate with bullets any ono who dared to approach him. At last through some strategic movement , the Mar shal and his little revolver was cap tured ; and after passing a night in the jail and interviewing tbe Police Judge next morning , ho concluded to return to Brownville and organ ize the Temperance Convention , MORAL Temperance reformers should avoid tcmpations , and not go to Atchinsonto rusticate. Senator Tipton , H. M. Atkinson , Governor Fuwias , Hon. James B. Church , ( Temperance Candidate for Governor ) Hon. H. 0. Lett , and Judge R. V. Hughes , together with a large number of smaller fry poli- iticlans , all have their homes in Brownville. There is nothing new in railroad matters. For the past four years Brownvlllo has been promised a railroad "before the snow flies , " but the snow comes and goes and still they pay taxes on railroad bonds without having- any railroad in operation as yet ; but a railroad to connect Brownvillo with the rest of tbe world is a commercial necessity and must be completed before long. There has been a heavy newspa per figut between Mr. A. W. Pol lock , the postmaster of this place , and the editor of the Granne * . The postmaster stirs the Granger man about every week with a half col umn in the Advertiser , and the Granger replies by devoting at least two columns a week to this quarrel , but that makes It scarcely even , for the postmaster can put moro ideas in a half column than the Granger .man can in four. " " We cannot close this article with out returning thanks to Hon. H. C. Lett , Mrs. A. W. Pollock , B. V. Hughes , and G. S. Dunn for kind favors shown to RANGER. Why is a beautiful lady's fie ite romantic . tale of olden times ? Because it is an interesting leg-end , Everything in General and Noth ing in Particular. ( Correspondence of the BEE. ) FREMONT , Sept. 22. EDITOR BEE : For some years past I have been traveling In , the States "west of the hikes , and if acceptable will oc casionally report to you what I see and hear in the highways and by ways of the north -west. For two years past have been constantly in .Nebraska and feel a citizens' Interest in the questions of local interest. During the past two weeks I have been in Douglas , Washington , Dodge , Burt and Cuming counties , Y herelfind the farmers rejoicing in the possession of about hah ! a crop of com , three-fourths of a crop of small grain , and last but not least , I find fine herds of stock where four years ago a single cow was a .rare sight. Ther ? is some grumbling but general thankfulness - ness far blessings secured , particu larly in sections through which the refugees from the grasshopper region have "passed , comparison with these having furnished a healthy antidote for'grumbling. Improvements in the" railroad villages are particularly noticeable. Your readers are probably familiar with the topography graphy of the country , and the minutia of Blair , Fremont , West Point and other towns of five years growth , concerning them I will only add that all toWhs are like babies to a disinterested party much alike. These towns are no exceptions , an'd their improvement truly surprising to any one not familiar with the precocious ways of western infants. Bell Creek is very proud of its advantages , but its citizens think that some corre spondents have lately overdone it , and knowing that "flattery is the food of fools , " they ask for more discrimination in future correspon dents. Two miles from Fontenelle is the station of Nickerson , where there } s a fine freight house , groin elevator , store , postoffice , etc. , rather too far .for convenience , but near enough to Fontenelle , perhaps , to.infuse some ne'\ylife'into that relict of a town. At Hooper there are several fine stores , two elevators , two saloons and a fine frefglUihQuse , In which thp peopje wereholding ( i Sunday sclioof festival aaj passed. " At 'Scribner they have the stir d life incldentto a new town. West Point and Tekama I will reserve for a future letteiT" The people ple are pleased to have the products for which their section { $ ftpted , fa vorably noticed j but after all they are jrioredeepjy interested In schools , finance , railroads , politics and reli x- - gion. In Washington county there is general satisfaction at the nomina tion of Mr. Crounse. They will ypto for him almost unanimously , and will elect the Republican ticket generally. One hears , however , a great deal which shows how zeal ously public men are watched. You would infer from the conversation of somp that the average congress man spends all bis time in "Wash ington in riding in sixteen hundred dollar carriages , or at champagne suppers all at the government ex pense. I mention this that our Represent tatives may renew their appreejar tion of Burns' lines , " ' wad torn power the glf tie gle us , To see our Eel aj others te us , " etc. I have heard some severe criti cisms from religious people on the Omaha press generally the charge being that the press is given to slur ring religious matters. What par ticular sect , of the many , eaph claiming to be right , has been most offended , I did not learn ; but this I believe , religious people do not seem to realize that honest skepticism is the best of teachers Of religious truth. That they can give tone to the press if they will ; that if they dent , it she KB their weakness , and that true religion is the same wheth er exemplified under the Christian injunction , "Fear Gcd and have mercy , " or the Jewish command , "Do right and fear no man. " During my stay here in Fremont , I Imvp met a number of "Wheel- horse" Democrats they are geper- ally gentlemen , are usually .suave and polite , and I think their pres ence here to-day , will account for u part of the inspiration which will to-morrow emanate fropi the Sena torial Independent convention. In hunting for a nan de plume , 1 find "General , " Colonel , " "Captain , " and other distinguished titles , all appropriated , and as tbe correspon dence of some papers is like some books , "lies from end to end , " I have concluded to appear in my true rank , that of a private.

Ho more beautiful instance of fe male devotion can , perhaps , be re called than that of the young lady who refuses boiled onions for the Bake of the man she loves. When our American young men return from a trip abroad , their prin cipal knowledge of foreign parts consists hi parting their hair in the middle , A politician was pinioned hand and foot , and lai i in the grass on the line of march of the Northwest ern army of grasshoppers , but they never touched him. And thus do our fondest hopes decay. A Springfield gentleman conclud ed t > have a bath the other evening , and in the dark , got hold of a chunk of stove-blacking by mistake for thp soap. A moro polished man than he was has never been seen in the whole State of Massachusetts , There must be a good deal of suf fering in Nashville. The Union and American says : "That kindhearted ed gentleman who , with a commen dable exhibition of self-denial , pre sented an indigent family with two dollars in currency yesterday was grieved to meet said family returnIng - Ing from the circus a few hours " ' later.1" ' An exchange , ridiculing the coun try fairs , which make no effort at good shows , says that one in Ver mont consisted of a calf , a goose , a pumpkin , and a horse. It rained so hard the first night that thp goose swam off , tbe calf broke loose and ate the pumkln , and a thief prowl ing about mounted the horse , and drove the calf off before him , and so ended the fair. Queer association that is which has been established at Austin , Ne vada I. It is called the Free and In * dependent Grass-Widowers' Bean- Bating League. It holds weekly festivals for the consumption of tbe vegetable indicated. We suppose that some mysterious property has been discovered In beans calculated to aauage the pangs -of separation , and to prevent absence from dimin ishing conjugal affection. John Norrls is " "President of the League ; and very much we should , like to know what Mrs. John Norris thinks of it. BANKING EZRA > nr.T.A'H'nJ 1 j. H. MHJJARD , President | Cashier.
