THE XA.TIOXAI. REPCBUCAX , COXVESTIOJi . The next Union Republican National Con- ntion for the nomination of candidates T president and rice pr sident of the Uni- ed States , will bo held in the city of Cincin nati. Wednesday , the 14th of.June. . . 1ST6. at 2 o'clock noon , and will consist of delegates mm each State equal to twice the number of ts senators and representatives in congress , and of two delegates from each organized rritory and the District of Columbia. In the culling of conventions for the elee- on of delegates , committees of the several tales are recommended to invite all repub- can electors and all other voters , without : : s. eeard to part political differences or pre vious party affiliations ; who are .opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to pro mote friendly feelings and permanent bar- .mony throughout the country t by enforcing and maintaining all constitutional rights of erery citiien. including full and free exer- be of the right of suffrage , without intimi dation and fraud : who are in favor of con- nued prosecution and punishment or all fficial dishonesty and of an economical administration of the government by hon est , faithful and capable officers ; who are in aver of makingsucb reforms in the govern ment as experience may from .time to time ugest ; who are opposed to impairing the credit of the nation by depreciating any or ts obligations , and in favor of sustaining. ! ! ! every way the national faith and financial honor ; who hold that the common school cyttem is the nursery of American liberty , and should be maintained absolutely free rom sectarian control ; who believe that , to be promotion of these ends the direction of the government should continue to be confided : to those who adhere to the princi ples of 1776 and support them as incorpora ted in the constitution and laws , and who are in favor of recognizing and strengthen- ne the fundamental principle of national unity in this centennial unnirarsary of the birth of the republic.

REPRESENTATIVE CROUNSE has introduced a bill for the sale of the reservation of the Sac and Fox In dians , similar In general features to the , blll introduced in the .Senate by Senator Paddock. ACCORDING to the St. Louis Globe- Democrat , " the Missouri Pacific people think they have struck a lead' in their new line , Ihe Omaha Cut-oil , via Kansas City , Atchison and Lincoln. " HITCHCOCK is evidently alarme about the disastrous ollect of his combination with Dr. Miller , the Herald has been instructed strike a few harmless blows Hitchcock to counteract the effect o its damaging puffery. SINCE Jeff. Davis has gone ml the life insurance business , he ha developed a wonderful amount o cheek. His recent letter In reply t Blaine , is the cheekiest documen that , has ever emanated from th pen of the rebel chief. JUST as we predicted two days ago. Here is the champion aero " bat's apology : "It is , of course , understood , as was fairly stated in our first article on the incorporated commercial cut throats of the Iowa "pool" rail ways , that our designation of them la in no sense personal. The man agers , general and local , of thesi lines , are all gentlemen , and are al together too popular personally for the good of tuo people of Omaha , or , for that matter , for the good of the each other. "We speak of them as Impersonal cut-throats , and only in a business sense. " Herald. It ia of course understood -by everybody in these parts that the Herald never means what it says excepting when it toadies to men of wealth and men of influence. Of course these gentlemen cut-throats will understand that they are la beled as cut-throats in a strictly Pickwickian , sense , just "as Dick Turpln , Jacsr Sheppard and other gentlemanly road agents were fre quently nick-named in their day by men who admired their polished manners. It now only remains for the champion acrobat to explain that in calling them "commercial cut-throats" no insinuation was In tended reflecting upon their strictly honorable dealing. A BILL of considerable interest to army officers has been introduced in Congress by. Delegate Sleele , of Wyoming. The bill provides that the promotion Df commissioned offi cers shall be lineal , through all grades up to and Including the grade of colonel in cavalry , artillery , and infantry in the army ; provided , that in case of a voluntary transfer of an officer from one arm of the bervlce to another to a position be low his lineal rank he shall thereaf ter be entitled to such promotion , and such only , as pertains to the po sition thus accepted by him. Subaltern officers pf cavalry , ar tillery , and infantry promoted from cecond lieutenancies to first lieuten ancies , and from first lieutenancies to captaincies , during each half year , shall be assigned by the Sec retary of War on or before the next succeeding first days of January and July of each year to sucli va cancies as may have occurred in the grades to which they shall have been promoted in their arms of the .service during that period , and in such manner as shall Incur least ex pense for transportation : Provided , That each and every officer -so as signed shall retain the rank to which lie is entitled under the pro visions bfthls act. In every official-army register hereafte'rlissued the .lineal ra.nk.of subalterns of the line of the > &rmy shall he , given separately for the diillereut arms of the service. FACTS AXD riCTIOX. The overwhelming array of facts and figures produced by the BER to disprove the charge that the B. & M. in .Nebraska la waging a war of discrimination against Omaha , and in favor of Lincoln , is met by our acrobatic contemporary with a col umn of personal abuse directed at Mr. fc > . S. Caldwell , whom -the Her- old assumes to be the author of our editorial article. .Now , in the first place , we desire it understood that no article written by outsiders ever appears in the ed itorial columns of the BEE. In the next place , we will disabuse the mind of our contempory by stat ing that Mr. S. S. Caldwell did not dictate or Inspire the article , nor did he have the remotest agency in its production. He did not know that such an article was written until he saw it in print. The facts and fig ures produced were procured at our own instance and without sug gestion or solicitation from any body. The Herald does > ot attempt to gainsay or discredit any of the facts produced.but it insinuates that discrimination is being made under handed by a rebate of freight tolls. This , we are assured by the officers of the B. &M. Is untiue , and we challenge the.HraW to cite any in stance where freight charges to or from Lincoln have been made the same or lower than those charged at Omaha , excepting alone the article of corn from Lincoln to Chicago. The charge that Lincoln lumber dealers are favored by cut-throat rates in order to undersell Omaha dealers , Is absurd. An examination of the books of the B. & Al. com pany shows that Lincoln only shipped one car-load of lumber to stations west of Lincoln oyer that road during the year 1875. The charge that Caldwell has shipped corn from Lincoln to Bos ton for 60 cents , is about as veracious as the other charges. Mr. Caldwell nas not secured these cut-throat rates , for the reason that he never shipped any corn to Boston. In this connection we may as well state that the Her ald is doing Omaha incalcula ble damage by an agitation which even if founded on fact , must inev itably widen the breach between Omaha and the rest of the state. Our merchants are doing a heavy business south of the Platte , and the attempt to array Omaha against any locality in that region must alienate the patrons of our mer chants. There is , however , one consola tion for Omaha , and that is that the Herald circulates less than two hun dred copies of its daily south of the Platte. If the Herald is really in earnest in its denunciation of the cut-throat business , would it not be well to give Omaha a chapter on railroad rebates , granted to the grain ring , of which Mr. Hitch cock's government director is the head ? That is an unexplored bonanza tlmt mtuht be worked with profit. A MOST remarkable policy has Just been Inaugurated by the Michi gan Central Railroad Company. A general order has been issued by the Superintendent , Wm. B. Strong , which closes as follows : "From this date no person will be admitted to the service of this company until he shall have secured a policy of in surance against accident and death in some responsible company. " went out of office with a grand flourish of trumpets about the fast mail business , but had not a word in explanation of those mail weighing swindles. WHAT 1 > I1 > TOP MEAN ? OMAHA , Feb. 8,1876. lo Edward JJosewater , Publisher of the c/mct&a Be.e : In your paper of Monday evening Feb. 7th , appears an article , in which my place of business is spoken af as a "colored den. " You M-ill please explain what Im pression you intended to leave upon .he public mind by theuse , of those ivords , which , as generally inter preted , would place mo before this jommunity in a most unenviable ight. E. D. CURRY. ANSWER. You evidently take exception to ho following paragraph : ' Sparks and another colored man lamed Newton , were known to lave been out on a free during all if Saturday night , spending money reely , and bucking the tiger at a lolored den on Douglas street. " This paragraph occurs in the SEfc's report of the jBoyd safe bur- ; lary Jwith which Sparks has been barged. Although no reference Is aado to your place of business ( ? ) ou acknowledge that the coat fits ou by making this inquiry. The JEE is always courteous , and your uestions shall be answered without eserve. According to Webster , a den is a customary place of resort ; a aunt ; a retreat ; as , for example , a en of robbers ; a den of misery nd vice. " A colored den may ither be a customary place of re- jrt ; a disreputable haunt of vice nd misery painted in colors , or it jay be a disreputable haunt tre- uonted by persons of color. It lay be both. If your place of usinessissuch a den , the sooner you et more respectable employment ie less danger there will be of your eing insulted by paragraphs like lie above. Since you have seen fit j propound this conundrum , we my as well state that while the lEEis ever ready ] to demand for nd accord equal rights to the co wed man with those enjoyed by ie white man , it also belleyes that slored men shall be made amena- Se to the laws that punish vice and rime hi white men. If , as you Intimate , your place of uslness is a den where colored men uck the tiger and spend their hard irned money .in gambling and indred crimes ; the less you say Iwut it the better for the reputation f the colored race. Ask us nome moro conundrum * ; SARPY COUNTY. Omaha Should Bridge the Flatte. A Bloody Fray. ( Correspondence of the BBK. ) XENIA , SARPY COUNTY , ) Neb. , Feb. 7 , ' 76. J This bustling little village , as many of your readers are aware , is situated down In the southwestern corner of Sarpy county. The sur rounding lands are very fertlleand , as high as one hundred bushels per acre of corn has been harvested this last summer. Just at present a bridge over the Platte seems to be the greatest want to the farmers. It would enable them to pass to and from Saunders county , and especially would it ben efit tlie Saunders county farmers , as then they could at all seasons of the year move their products to the Omaha market. LIVELY RACKET ! . A few evenings since at the Xenia school house there occurred one of the most lively and highly interest ing fiascos that we have witnessed in many a day. The singing school was enjoying oue of their usual good times , when a slight misunder standing arose betwenn the Davis brothers and William Armstrong They immediately set on to each other like old time knocxers. One of the Davis boys hurled Armstrong to the floor , crushing the seats in his fall. He sustained serious inter nal injuries , it is feared , besides having his left shoulder dis located. Mr. F. T. Leffler , from Forrest City had a fearful embargo barge placed on the side of his head , direct from the shoulder of an indi vidual who is very appropriately Mr. Leffler called Me-unta-in. did not resent the blow. EARLY SPRING. The spring of ' 76 promises to be an early one. Maiiy of the farmers are preparing to sow wheat. Geese and ducks are quite plenty on the Flatte river bottoms. The genial rays of the February sun has al ready warmed the hearts of the farmers in this section , and the ex pectation for the coming season's crops count up high. May they not DO disappointed.

You will find enclosed one dollar , and as soon as possible I will send more. Your supplement adorns my ball , and your paper is a welcome visitor. I like the noble and bold front it takes on the principles of the Republican party ; had every Republican Jour nal done as much , there would not have been that falling oil and run ning after strange god * Tae locord of the Republican partj .stands to day unrivalled on the pages of American histo y ; its advent was in a perilous time , when our treasury was almost empty , and a civil war hanging over our heads. . . She took the helm of the old ship Constitution and guid ed her safely through the impend ing storms , bursting asunder the bonds of slavery and subduing the enemy , both north and south. Now I don't want to fight that ground over again. I furnished five sons to help carry on the war ; all un scathed , to be sure , but one who died of disease in New Orleans but I fear the consequences if the party gets into power that is trying every scheme to accomplish it. I is the old animosity of the demo cratic party warmed over. The party since it first broke ranks has assumed almost every name that could bo thoughtofunderhigh heav en , from Free Hollers down to Barn Burners , Honkers , Locofocos , anc finally down to the low , degradec name of Copperhead ; and there she stopped fora whileall dead but the poor little tail , and that has kept wiggling ever since , and now comes up with a .Liberal head on. Republican friends , beware of it ! il is Copperhead still. rxow , Republicans , fall into line boldly to the front with your armor bright as the noonday sun , and fight it out , "If its takes all summer ; " and we will kill that Liberal head , and leave the little Copperhead tail wiggling for another name. Fight manfully the battle , if victory we don't gain , we will have a record filed on book that we surely have died game. J. B. MORTON. [ Communicated , ] Railroad. Bonds Defeated in Cedar County. ST. HELENA , Feb. 7 The railroad bonds were defeated by Yankton and the Dakota South ern Railroad Company , as they were over hi force with money and men to defeat them. However , the bonds lota majority , but this was not suf ficient to carry them. There was a very lively time at the polls ; a good leal of bad whisky was drank , and several fights occurred. The bonds carried by 28 majority. All the most wealthy men from Dakota tvere here bore to defeat them , in Behalf of the Dakota Southern rail- oad. F. F. S , Bristow. ( Chicago Times. ) The beat known and the least mown American of to-day is a pos sible nominee of the Cincinnati convention. The vigor which has jharacterized his administration of ; he intricate and important affairs ) f the treasury department , espec- ally his persistent , relentless prose- sution of die whisky rings of In- Hanapolis , St. .Louis , Milwaukee , ind Chicago , has made Mr. Bristow he foremost figure In the adminis- : ration. When he was unexpected , y called to the cabinet , he had no lational reputation. His fame as i soldier during the war , and as i lawyer before and after , was con- Ined to his own state. He had > een ha Washington , but in a posi- lon no more conspicuous than that > f solicitor to the department of vhich he Is now the chief. His flt- less for the important post to which IB was assigned had never been lisplayed , so far as the general pub ic knew , but he quickly demon- itrated his capacity. As soon as he iad mastered the details of his de partment , he set himself the ardu- lus task , never before honestly un- lertaken , of not only breaking up he rings which were flooding the iountry with crooked -whlaky , and thereby defrauding the gov ernment of millions of revenue , but also of bringing the offenders to the punishment tLoy have mer ited. Every newspaper ot the day consciously or unconsciously , gladly or reluctantly , bears evidence of his complete and startling success .There has been nothing sensationa in his work. He has neither sought men's approval nor deprecated their wrath. * He found before'him an obvious if a dangerous duty , and to the straightforward , conscientious discharge of it has zealously applied an energy which has proved tire less and an intelligence which is seen to be of no common order From first to last he has been the backbone of the whisky prosecu tion. Grant's precept was but en echo of Bristow's performance. I Is an assumption , but one not whol ly gratuitous , that If Bristow hac not taken the treasury portfolio , McDonald and Joyce would have been still in government employ a St. Louis , and the distillers \voulc now , as of old , "grease the wheels' of the revenue machinery at Chica go. While the life and soul of the cru sade against the revenue thieves Mr. Bristow has yet found abun dance of time to discharge his other duties as secretary. He is the Intel ligent champion of specie resump tion. He has battled against odds for retrenchment and economy , anc has stood by his desk while other employes of the people have been junketing. In demonstrating hi ability In the cabinet , Bristow ha shown his fitness for the presidency He Is the peer of any and the supe rior of most of the men named fo the Cincinnati convention , and it is among the political possibiiitie that , without an effort on his oar other than is made by anv man in public position who fearlessly per forms the duties assigned him , the convention will declare for him. INDUSTRIAL POINTS. The window glass company o Bellaire shipped over 1,000 boxes o glass last week. The enamel works at Millington Kendall county. III. , have com mencecLpperations. The woolen mills at Goshen , In diana , have made 74,000 yards o woolen goods this season. The citizens and capitalists of Dubuque - buque are making an effort to star a woolen and cotton factory. The match factory of T. L. Clark of Oshkosh , Wifccousin , used $200- 000 worth of stamps during the year 1875. bhipments from the Anamosa ( Iowa ) quarries for 1875 were 3,200 carloads , and the amount received , $35,000. The Fall River manufacturers have recently received orders from England for 10,000 pieces of print goods every week. The Illinois Glass Company , ai Alton , have been laying out the ground plans for the erection every very extenpive class works in that city. city.The The Galllpolls Bulletin says the thirteen furnaces of the Ohio River Salt Company made 300,000 bush els of salt during the month of De cember. John M. Gorham , president of the Ohio Wooden Ware Company , ol Cleveland , is making negotiations at Bay City for the removal of the entire works to that city The value of the butter made in the United States in 1875 amounts to $420,000,000. This is equal to the combined yield of gold and silver and the cotton crop. Manufacturers of dairy imple ments in Elgin , Illinois , are build ing large numbers of vats tor the spring trade Two establishments ' have twelve each now ready for the market. A valuable lead mine has been discovered near Moo mouth , about twelve miles from Maquota , Iowa. At last advices the operators had penetrated the vein seven feet and had not touched bottom. The Ames Company of Chicopee are at work again on their contract to make 200,000 bayonet scabbards for the Turkish government , the affairs of the Providence Tool Com pany , who sub-let them the job , be ing now in such a condition that they pay promptly each instalment of money. There are now eight pin'faclories in the United States , which make 47,000,000 pins daily. In addition to these the importation of pins reach .25,000,000. As these are all easily sold , it is safe to say that 72- , 000,000 of pins are lost daily , or 50- , 000 every minute. Where they go is a wonder Notwithstanding the cry of hard times , the rolling mills , machine shops , foundries , and Woodburu- Sarven wheel works have employed their usual complement of hands and run with a regularity never be fore exceeded , and present indica tions are that a majority of them will continue to do so through the winter and spring. Indianapolis Journal. POLITICAL NOTES. The Corning ( Iowa ) Gazette is in favor of Judge Dillon for president. National Conventions have al ready been called as follows : April 5 Colored men , Nashville , Tenn. May 17 Prohibition , Cleveland , Ohio. Ohio.May May 17 Soft Money , Indianap olis. olis.June June 14 Republicau , Cincinnati. One of the Senators elected for life by the French Assembly is a Jew M. Adolph Cremieux. John A. Hyman , the only colored republican elected to congress from North Carolina , is the only colored member of the republican congres sional committee. It id said that of the republican members of the Minnesota legisla ture 48 are for lilaine for president , igainst 34 for all other candidates. 0J1 * he state officers , save three , are for Blaine. The Hon. Potiphar Paegreen , of the Georgia legislature , rose in his seat the other day and asked a member the meaning of the word geology The member told him it tvasabpecies of vaccination. A writer on the St. Louis Jtepub- tcanlongs for somebody to bit him filth something. He wrote , 'Elaine's patriotism is like the jranite of his native hills , " but has ilnce learned that the ex-speaker ras born in western Pennsylvania. Congressman Tutts , of Iowa , Is svidently something of a wag. He yritea to a friend that his seat Is be- ; ween Mr. Blaine and Mr. W. 8. Sing , and adds that he "hopes to iborb a little statesmanship from me , and a little subsidy from tha ) ther. ' The colored legislators of South Jarollna also know how to hold their speeches for revision. Thus Whipper did not say that the sanc tum of a democratic newspaper "smelt of hell , " but that "its inner sanctuary was pervaded by the odor of Plutonian palaces. " "Who's your favorite for the pres idency ? " inquired Spilkins of a youth who flattered himself he knew a good deal about American poli tics. "Oh , well , replied Juventus , twirling an incipient moustache , "HamiltonConkling orRoscoeFlsh ; either one of them wouli suit me very well. " The St Joseph ( Mo. ) Qatetle says : The woods of Ozark county are BO full of candidates for office that the wood-choppers are atraid to fall trees in the daytime , for fear ol killing them. They need not be BO squeamish ; a few hundred of that -kind would be Interesting and ben eficial. We are glad to learn that the lelegraph is for Bristow for presi dent. That Is how every pensible and. honest journal ought to feel. Bristow is the only thoroughly-effi cient reformer the country has pro duced for years. He is essentially the man for the white house ; but the politicians are not with him , and the people will have to bestir themselves if they want him nominated - inated at Cincinnati. Pittsburgh Dispatch. St. A. D. Balcombe. [ Winona'Republican.J The following'paragraph referring to a former well-known citizen ol Winoiia , we find hi an exchange : St. A. D. Balcombe , formerly ol this state , is having a checkered ca reer. He was president of the re publican branch of the first Minnesota seta constitutional convention , anil was in those days well known to Minnesota people , subsequently , as Indian Agent , among the Wiuue- bagoes , ho made a fortune in four years at least took to Oma ha $70,000 in greenbacks. There he went into the business of running an "organ" for the republican party , lost money , and after many ups and downs in his journalistic career , was forced to drop out last summer. He lost $16,000 by indorsing for Mr. Nash , of St. Paul. His Omaha property became tied up , and his fortune , that he had added to for a time in that city , faded away. His last step was recently , when lie stepped Into the shoes of the United States deputy marshal of Wyoming territory. PHYSICIANS & SUKGEONS : R. S.
