" WHEN the voice of the "jSJghtln galo" is heard In .Nebraska on the first day of April , you may reason ably infer somebody is trying tc fool vou. People ln thee parts whc beard the JfMghtingale'B" voici through the Omaha Herald Hundaj must naturally suspect there is a de algn to deceive somebody.

REDFJELD , the South ern correspondent of the Cinclnnat Commercial , whose candid and im partial letters have mada a natloua reputation for him , expresses thi opinion' < that a fair election In all th Southern Btatesand Tilden woulc have been without a majority of the popular vote.

A. LAST WORB. The municipal election which , takes place to-morrow will in a great degree determine the future ' rosperity of Omaha. Every prn- Osnt man proposing to locate per manently in our city will naturally nake careful inquiry concerning ( be character of the men who mange - ge its municipal affairs. It is true- of cities , as it is of men , that econ omy and Industry are sure to win the race against extravagance and sloth. It te also true that cities are gauged by the character of their governments as rigidly as men arc estimafed 'by trie .BompahyJ they keep. This is a plain common sense rule , which Omaha must observe If she Is to maintain ber ascendancy among commercial rivals * In the impending municipal con test it will be duty of every citizen to consider : iirst ? , The reputation , character and qualification of the rival candidates placed in nomina tion by the Republican and Demo cratic parties. Second , The record of these two parties and the consequences quences that would follow tbe assumption - sumption of the city government by the Democracy. A comparison of the two tickets must convince every candid man that the .Republican ticket Is in every respect super ior to the Democratic ticket. "Without assailing theoharaotejor reputation of a single candidate on the Democratic ticket , we boldly make the assertion ( bat as a whole they are decidedly below the stan dard of ability , energy , and indus try that should be possessed by men who aspire to such importanl and responsible positions. Tne City Council levies the taxes and disburses the funds of the city. Compare the candidates for Coun oilmen of the two parties ? and tbe same striking -liflerence is man ! fest. "With the exception of Mr. Banckes , of the Third ward , the Republican candidates are men whom the taxpayers can con fidently trust. The revolt of the better class of oitirens of the Third ward against both the Republican and Democratic nominees for Coun cilman will , we are confident , recti fy the mistake by the election of ac Independent Republican candidate whose character nobody can assail and whose competency none dart question. The Republican nominees for the .Board of Education are all men o intelligence and liberal views , end while the Board should be above al partizanship , there Is no valid rea son why Republicans sbould bolt Republican nominations when by so doing they are liable tc impair rather than improve the eflioieucy of our fcchool system. in view of the indisputable fad that the Republican municipal ticket ie decidedly the best present' ed to our citizens , wo deem it bul our duty to appeal to the Republi can's of Omaha to stand by tbeii colors , and we appeal to all goot citizens to Join bands in giving Omaha a municipal government foi the next two years that all hopesi men eau respect and sustain. A Cry for Tengeance. New York Timei. There seems to be a curious pop ular misapprehension concerning the present status ot the Mormon citizens in Utah. Since the fright ful revelations of the Lee trial have been circulated , there has been t general demand for Justice. Un happily , this demand has been con strued to require vengeance and confiscation .rather than a legal ret ribution,1 ; There seems to be coin. mon notion that the Mormon people ple , as a community , have incurred a just punishment , and that in some undefined way they should be wip ed off the .face of tbe earth , then settlements broken up , and the pro perty divided among those who vol unteer in this new holy war. It i even said that a Ring has been or ganized in California for tbe pur pose of exciting wrath against the Latter Day Saints , and driving them nut of their possessions. It is added , by way of explanation , the fomenters - ers of this crueade against Mormon ism have had their cupidity excited by the knowledge that the aaiuU have rich lands , fat cattle , and al of the acquisitions of a prosperous pas1 oral people. In the distemper ed fancy of certain would-be crusa ders , tne Mormons are seen flying with guilty haste before the aveug- mere of innocent blood , very much as the Midianites fled before Gideon That this rough. Justice should bi meted out is tbe demand or eomt who are bound to make war whether it be upon Mexico , thi HIoux Indians , or the malevolen Spitz dog. It is very true that our adventur ousfelow citizens on the Paoifi" always filibustering are readycfqr--a excursion. They. liave a happy fac ultv for planning invasions of friend ly territory , and settling loca troubles by intervention ; but thesi expeditionary projects usually em in talk , iho iufiamatory reports o Mormon outrages and crimes which have lately originated ii San Francisco , Hre not desigr. , H ! , wi believe , to stir up a sadden flood o animosity. The Californians , es peoiallyjthosejwho had early exper ience with theJMo.'mons , know bet ter'than any other people outside o Utah what a habitation of cruelty the Mormon settlement has been It is tbe most natural thing in thi world that they should be possesset of ample Information proving al that has been charged against thi Mormons as a people. It is Hkel : that many refugees from Mormon dom are to beound in California , and that their testimony confirm some of tbe terrible stories o murders , malmings , and'abduction commltted-under the rule of th ( theocracy of Utah. Bu * itls nbsuri to suppose that any intelligent men 'n California or elsewhere , propo"i f > itivade Utah and dispossess th < tviurmou people , guilty though tSe' may be. The Church of the Latle Diy Kaluta may be & Best of in quity and bestiality , and the saint -usy be individually a bad , but no body pretend * that this would jus ury a raid un the community. The wild talk with which oertaii newspapcro seek to Inflame aubll opinion n f-imply mischievous. 1 it Is designed to have any eflec it Is an.iucentlve to mo violence. And If mob violence 1 expanded to its legitimate and nnl ural bounds in such a case , we shonl have an organ zsd riot a small r < rfb Ilfon against tbe laws of th laad.

' The story as told by the Democrat is that on Monday , the 19th ult. 'a young sou ot J. M. Hermann , went out to his father's /arta , about , -.julle ? south west of town , and while strolling around in the timber found a bag hanging to atres containing three hiiman skulls. The boy , ' as may be expected , aid not use the skulls for foot balls m a game with the robins , but with blanched face started for home at the rate , of a mile a minute. Upon arriving hu'told his father of hla ghostly discovery , who only laughed at him ; but the boy persis ted in bis statement and his father finally accompanied him to the scene. To the'horror and surprise ) of Mr. Hermann he found the story wae true. In an ordinary two- bnshel bag were found three heads of adults , a coffee sack and a piece of carpet. Hhe flesh was nearly all off from the faces , but considerable putrid flesh and hair still remained on the heads. By whom the sack containing the ghastly load was ) laced where it w as found is a pro- 'ouiid mystery. Poor Fickle Mexico. San Francisoo Chronicle , Already comes the news from the _ ity of Mexico that the usurper Diaz las worn out his ephemeral popu- anty , that his party has disintegra- ; ed and is deserting him , and that the grown children who raised him to power three or four months ago , are now clamoring for the return and restoration of Lerdo. It is the old , old story over again a story older than Mexico , as old as the [ jatln race , who never did under stand the art of government , not to say self-govern ment. Napoleon the First comprehended this radical de- 'ect in the character of the French , and was constantly fortifying hia position against it by some achieve ment or other , civil or military , to seep himself in the eye of the world. The invasion of Egypt , the over throw of the directoral government , the creation of the consulate , the proclamation of the empire , the at tempt to invade England , the Ger man campaign , culminating in the oalUos of Jena , Austerlitz and Frledlund , and finally the rash in vasion _ of BussiR , were all BO many expedients to keep a single man up permost in the ever-changing , fickle mind of a race which is nothing without ( irMoatic display a mere child m the art of eel'-governmeut. The Mexicans have done hardly any worse , considering the dif ference of their pocial con dition. They refuse to be quiet , to submit to any one set of rulers long at a time , simply because the great mass of them have nothing at stake , no property , no industry , no homes , no settled belief in anything. Where the main body ot a nation are proletaires or adventurers , it will be fortunate if civil war is not the rule of the society. In Mexico all the business of the country is in the bands of a few foreigners Ihe natives are listless , idle , shiftless , and , like all idlers , ready for any adventure that promises loot It would be utterly impossible for a Santa Anna , a Miramon or a Diaz , to obtain a folJo\yiug in the United Slates , or any German or Anglo-Saxon country where frugali ty , labor , and acquisition of proper ty are tne rule and not the rare ex ception. But it is easy in Mexico , Guatemala , Peru , or Colombia , where the native masses are in a condition of vagabondage and ol vassalage to a few rancheros. It IB a pity that such ia the situation , but such it is , and there can hardly be any permanent reform until new blood shall obtain possession , and from the soil create prop erty that will be worth pro tecting. It would not be a bad thing for Mexico if the current ol Mongolian emigration , which for some years past baa been muddying the social waters of our coast , could be turned upon * that country cud kept there till the Celestials could reorganize industry and teach tne natives the value of peace and per sonal independence.

Tbere ar ThoBiaBdi of Mea hroughout tbe states and territories who have their most sanguine hopes fixed on the Hig Horn , hence the mpoitance of the best route. This would necessarily include safety , directness and celerity. The route possessing these advantages must , n the nature of things , be tbe fa vorite , as speed and safety are the two characteristics nf the age , and every prudent man will consider these facts. There are several routes advocated by which this country can be reached , but the facts show conclusively that the most de sirable and practical route is from Ruwllm. Carbou. County , WTO. Ter. Cheyenne is distant over 460 mile ? , Green river is 230 miles and Evanston over 800 miles. Tbe route from any of these points must be for a great portion of the wav over an unknown country , while Jrom Bawlius the distance is not over 150 miles , and that over a road that is known and has a beautiful supply of wood , water and grass. There is now a regular mail service on this route 45 miles out from Bawlinsto- wittotheTerris : and seminole min- iug districts where there are three mines now being worked by large companies. Sixty miles out the road crosses the Sweetwater river by a good wagon bridge , this is the only stiearn of importance or size 011 the route. Sixty-ttve miles out the road Das-s d tin famous "Soda Lakes ; " from there it is sixty miles to tLe head of Powder river and from that to The BUT Horn is 25 miles. An expedition of from 200 to 300 miners and prospecton will leave Bawlins for the BigHorc country between the first and tentli days of April , 1877 , headed by the oldest miners and mountaineers ir the West.
