from each State equal to twice the number of

In the calling of conventions for the elec

States are recommended to invite all repub

rious party affiliations ; who are opposed to
reviving sectional issues and desire to pro

administration or the government by hon-
st , faithful and capable officers ; who are in
favor of making such reforms in the govern
ment us experience may from time to time
Bnggeet ; who are opposed to impairing the
credit of the nation by depreciating , any of
its obligations , and in favor of sustaining in
every way the national faith and financial
honor ; who hold that the common school

and should be maintained absolutely free
from sectarian control ; who believe that to
the promotion of these ends the direction
of the government should continue to be
confided : to thoto who adhere to the princi
ples of 1776 and support them as incorpora

PROCLAMATION.
Congress passed a joint resolu
tion approved March 13 , ISTo.recommending
the people of the several States , that they
assemble in their several counties or towns
on the approaching centennial anniversary
of our National Independence , and that
they cause to have delivered on such day ,
an historical sketch of f aid county or town
from its formation , and that a copy of such
sketch may be filed in print or manuscript
in the clerk's office ; of said county , and an
additional copy in print or manuscript be
Clod in the office of librarian of congress to
the intent , that a complete record may thus
be obtained of the progress of our institu
tions during the first contenuflil of their ez-
itence.
Therefore , in compliance with inch reso
lution. I do recommend that the people of
this State assemble in their several towns
and counties on the4th day of July.1876.and
that they cause to have delivered an histor
ical sketch of said town or county from ifs
formation , and that copies thereof be filed
in the office of the county clerk of said conn
ty. and in the office of the librarian of con
gress , as by said resolution requested.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused to be nffizel the great
veil of the State of Nebraska.

IN the past few days we have re
ceived numerous letters from va
rious sections of the State contain
ing hearty expressions of approval
at the fearless course of the BEE in
exposing dishonesty and trickery.
These letters , in the face of the ma-
Ueloua personal libels hurled at its
Editor by those engaged in the de
fense of public plunderers and polit
ical knaves , are a source of consid
erable pride to urf. They bear evi
dence that the masses are awaken
ing to a realization of their interests
and propose to take an active part
henceforth in the political affairs of
the State. The extract from the
correspondence in the last issue of

appears on the third page , is one of tih

IT la currently reported that tlie ClP Cltl
Omaha Republican is about to em tl

new departure a is :
Instead of advocating Senator lx
Hitchcock's claims for re-election ,
which has been found to be up-hill
work , the managers now propose to
raise the banner of REFORM and for bi
the present at least drop his name th
altogether. This , It Is expected , tbCl
will enable them to rope in a large Cl
number of deluded followers , in
whom they expect to influence in
laver of legislative candidate ? , in
supposed to be either unpledged or 812
inclined to follow a third party , ini
who , if Hitchcock cannot make the po art
ripple , is to be the recipient of his
strength. In other words ther.e is
to be an alliance between the two I
parties to make euro of one or the ( dn
.other's success. As there is consid as
erable room for reform in the dilap lin
idated'senatorial organ , a departure in
favoring reform in every respect ga
will come with good grace from that an
quarter , coi

An exclusively agricultural com
munity can never become wealthy
or populous. This is a proposition
which we do not propose to discuss ,
for the truth of it will appear to any
one who will stop to reason upon
the subject. There are many kinds
of manufacturing which never can
be made proIItable in this State ,
among which are all those that de
pend for their success on cheap fuel.
We cannot dig our crude material
from the mines , or cut it in the for
est. We must produce it in some
other way. It must be wool , bides ,
flaxseed , or something of that na
ture.
ture.For
For the production of wool no
State in the Union has the facilities
of Nebraska , and none oan surpass
her in her natural advantages for
manufacturing it. Salt Creek , the
Wahoo.theBig and Little Papillion ,
have numerous water powers , with
in a radius of fifty or sixty miles of
Omaha , which would run large
woolen mills all the year around ,
and give employment to thousands
of workman , who , on account of
the cheapness of western produce ,
could lay up money upon the sala
ries upon which they now dntg out
a miserable existence m the over
crowded villages of the east , where
every article of food is brought
hundreds of miles from these west
ern prairies lor their consumption ,
over railroads charging heavy rates
of freight.
Already Illinois and Iowa have
utilized the few water powers those
States possess for the manufacture
of woolen good * , beoides large num
bers of mills which run by steam ,
many of which import a large part
of their raw material from Colora

All that is wanted to innke the
fame and wealth of Nebraska , as a

the advantages which nature has
given her.
17XCEIITAIXTIES OF POLITICS.
The New York Times considers
the result of tno Presidential cam
paign as not altogether certain to
the Republicans in the event of an
unwise selection upon the Presi
dential ticket. New York , Penn
sylvania , Ohio , Illinois , Indiana
and Missouri , the six most popu
lous Spates of the Union , are all
more or less dependent for victory
to the .Republican tty on tue
character of the candidates uoITm"
ated at Cincinnati. The Times
thus reviews the situation :
' 'Take first our own State. I
cannot be carried by a candidate
whose record will not bear inspec
tlou. In 1872 Governor Dix had j _
majority of 53,451 over so good n
man as Senator Kernan. In 1S73
no Republicans were elecied excepi
those who received the support o
the Liberal Republicans. In 187- ;
Gov. Tilden had 50,317 majority
over Gov. Dix , and in 1S75 the
Democratic State ticket received an
average majority of about fifteen
thousand.
Pennsylvania is a State of uncer
tain politics. Though Gen. Grant
had 137,548 majority over Mr. Gree-
ley in 1872 , twoye&rs later the Dem
ocrats elecied the Lieutenant Gov
ernor by a majority of 4,079 , and
Gov. Hartranft's majority last year
was only 12,030 , or two per cent o
the whole number votes.
Ohio is also u State which the lie-
publicans cannot afford to experi
ment with. The majority last year
against Gov. William Allen was on
ly 5,544 , and in 1873 that worthy
was elected by 817 votes. There was
a Democratic majority in 1874 for
Secretary of State cf 17,202.
Indiana , two years ago , was car
ried by the Democrats by 17,252
votes. Grant's majority in 1872
was but 22,515 , and in October ol
that year Gov. Hendricks was elect
ed by a majority of 1,148.
It may strike some Republicans
as ridiculous to call Illinois doubtiu ]
under any circumstances , but at the
last election , two years ago , the
Republicans were le't in a minority
in both Lrauches of the Legislature ,
and their candidate for superintend
ent of Public Instruction was de
feated by 30,500 votes. There were
three parties in the field. The vote
for treasurer gave the republican
strength as 163,024 , that of the "op
position at 128,169 , and of the re
formers at 75,580. Of course , there
is a complete change In the political
situation since 1874 , but who knows
what further changes there may
be ? "
TUE Minneapolis and St. Paul
Journals are having a very animated
discussion as to the relative popula
tion of the two cities. According
to the Minneapolis Irllune , the late
directories of both cities give as the
result 10,999 names to Minneapolis ,
and and 9,927 in St. Paul popula
tion. Tliis , allowing 3 } to each
name , leaves Minneapolis 3,749
ahead. And now the St. Paul people

Grand . .JuryInvestigations Ex-
Mayor TYells' Indictment
Anticipated.
[ Correspondence of the BEE , !
*
SALT LAKE CITV , Juue 7.
It is exceedingly regretablu that
nothing apparently can be done in
this Territory that is not perfumed
with the odors of violent partizan-
ship. The fact has been perma
nently brought into notice during
the past few days through the report
of the committee appointed by the
grand jury to examine the books ,
records and accounts of the corpor
ation of this city. The grand jury
is composed , with one exceptiou , of
non-Mormons , and this committee
appears to have been selected from
the known antiAlormou proclivi
ties of the majority of its members.
These gentlemen labored assidu
ously for four week examining the
accounts of the city with much min
uteness. The report is a very volu
minous document , and though the
direct charges made tUerelu are
few , a number of very terlous of-
feuces by former officials are more
than hinted at. It in , however ,
charged that the cily , which for
several years controlled the entire
liquor trade here , and did au exten
sive business in its manufacture , de
frauded the government to the
amount of about f 00,000 by the non
payment of internal revenue tax.
At tne time that these frauds
were perpetrated , the population of
this city was almost entirely Mor
mon , and the leaders of that church
endeavored to com bat intemperance
by persuading the city authorities
to take entire charge of the trade in
intoxicating liquors , and for sev
eral years the only place where
liquor could be obtained was at the
City Liquor Store. Outside pres
sure , however , compelled a change
of policy , and saloons are now far
too abundant for the welfare of the
community.
Unfortunately Ihe gentlemen of
the committee have not confined
their report to what they found on
the city books , which they
acknowledge are carefully and in
telligently kept by experienced ac-
countaiits , but they have inter
woven therein common street
rumor , and by putting "this and
that together" after a manner most
agreeable to themselves , have come
to some rather startlingconclusions.
But the mischief is that these ru
mors prove to be untrue , and doubt
is thus thrown on all the state
ments made by the committee.
No sooner was the report pub
lished than denial after denial ap
peared m the newspapers , from
geul'amau whose names had been
mentioned in Connection with va
rious items of busine" ! referred to
therein. The writers claimeuthnt
the report so far as it related to
them , Mus conspicuously inexact ,
and proof was brought forward to
substantiate their statements.
Amongst those who publicly deny
the veracity of the report ore Col.
Ellerbeck , Superintendent of the
City Gas Company ; Messrs. Claw-
son and Carne , whilom lessees of
the Salt Lake Theatre , and Hon.
Geo. C. Bates , ex-U. 8. Prosecuting
Attorney. Ever since the publica
tion of the report party feeling has
run high on the subject , and it can
not be denied that the unqualified
contradiction of so many state
ments therein by well-knewn citi
zens has had the effect of causing
the whole to bo regarded as a very
questionable document. Some of the
parties whose names have been
as they claim , unwarrantably drag
ged into notice to their Injury are
already talking of instituting libel
suits , on the ground that the report
is malicious and intentionally un
truthful. 1 find , however , that the
document has had one most unex
pected effect. It has increased confi
dence in the present city govern
ment , for many argue that admit
ting everything contained therein ,
that has , uot yet been disapproved
Is true , then the facts are so much
better than It had been previously
rumored , that they believe a change
of administration would be an evil
rather than a blessing. Leaving
outside the charge of crooked
whisky transactions , It is generally
admitted that the funds of the city
have been economically disbursed
and strictly accounted for , and the
members of the city council receive
no pay for their services. Of the
five daily papers published in this
city , three take thid view of the
matter.
It is generally anticipated that
the grand jury will indict ex-Mayor
Wells. He is now in Arizona , but
may be expected back in a fortnight
or three weeks. I do not think ,
however , that he will make any
public statement with regard to the
malfeasance with which ho is
charged until the matter is brought
into court , should an indictment be
found ; but I am told that he holds
strenuously that the proceedings of
the committee are m entire viola
tion of law , in which opinion T dis
cover he is in accord with many of
our best-read lawyers.
The sentiments of those who are
not entirely carried away by reli
gious partizauship are , "Let no
guilty man escape , " be he Mormon
or gentile , but give General Wells
and others Implicated an impartial
rial i , and if they are innocent , let it
39 known. I fear , however , that
he whole business will be so over
shadowed and complicated with
echnicullties , as is almost always
he case with legal matters In Utah ,
hat Ic will be difficult to arrive at
he bottom facts. In the mean
time the matter will be made a :
jause for religious wrangling ; the
tlormon papers will claim it is au-
ther phase nf persecution and blg-
try , while the ? r/4we ? will accept fa

Aorth Bend , with an energy that
characterizes a live western town ,
Is steadily looming into importance.
Her markets are bel er aud her
grain receipts are heavier than any
other Nebraska town west of Oma
ha. Her business men are straight
forward , energetic and capable , aud
they seem willing to allow llie.fami-
er for his grain every cent there is
in it. The future of our town is
certainly ominous of success aud
importance. There is country
enough contiguous to her to push
her forward to tLe front rank and
sustain her in that position. Seven
carloads of grain were billed from
this place yesterday , and still it is
corning. Give us a bridge across
the Plutte river , and we will
nearly doubln our present receipts.
We need more capitalists ; we re
quire another elevator ; we invite
men ot business ; and to men de
siring to till the earth for a liveli
hood , here is where they may find
land that is cheap , soil that is em
inently productive , climate that in
'healthy , water that is pure , and so.

a worthy accession to their num

First-class business lots may be

and the farmer blue , when we
were moistened by a nwguiticent

and the visage of her lord are mate

bountiful harvest , as we never have

Crops in this vicinity are looking
well. We have had several show
ers of rain in the past few days.
Farmers are feeling good and mer
chants are anticipating a good
trade this fall. At no time in the
history of this county has the gen
eral outlook beea so favorable. Al
though we do not get as many Im
migrants as some of the newer
counties , yet those we do got come
well prepared to make their stay
permanent.
The grangers of this county are
erecting a warehouse in this place ,
and expect to do a heavy business
in shipping produce and grain this
full , and under the able manage-
meut of EL. Bruno and Alex Patter-
bon , they will certainly make it a
bucceas.
F. George , Sr. , proprlelor of the
Platte .River Mills , , is east purchas
ing machinery for his new mill and
expects to be running in a short
time.
The great Indian relic owned by
Win. McEudsee of this place , and
framed by A. Hospe , Jr. , of your
city , created quite an excitement
while here. We understand that
Mr. JHoEudree has forwarded it to
Philadelphia , where no doubt it
will attract universal attention.
Political news is very scarce
just now , as we are nearly all
anti-Hitchcock , necessity having
driven us to it. Our experience
here In the last few years has taught
us to guard against putting men in

Know something of the wire-pulling
