We learn that Mr. Dilley's school had a pic-ni- c ia the west part of town last Saturday, where enjoyment reigned. The Omaha papers now reach us at 10 a. m. on the morning of publication. We hope our Omaha friends will not fail to get them into the mail in time. Four hundred and seventy-fou- r Chi- namen went east over the B. & M. last Saturday. They are the same lot we mentioned a few days since, destined to Tennessee, to work on the grade of the Chattanooga railroad. We understand several head of Texas cattle swam the Missouri river this morn- ing. Did you ever notice those beautiful cap stones used in the State Lunatic Asylum, at Lincoln? They came from the inexhaustible quarries belonging to Daniel Sweeney, Esq., near Ashland, -- and are of the finest magnesian limes-ton- e. These quarries wDl be of incal- culable benefit to Plattsmoutu in a few years, as soon as we commence erecting "first-clas- s houses. It does one good to see the long lines of immigrant wagons crossing the J or-d- an (old muddy) inta the land of promise. Not a day passes hut some are added to our numbers by immigration, and all who come annear satisfied. One for lorn, homesick Canadian, sends up a wad from Fremont, and we lelieve he is the only man in all this broad btatc that is dissatisfied. One of the direct beaefits observed from the building f the B. & M. R. R from this city west, the large mrmbcr of houses being erected by the mechanics engaged on the road and in the machine 6hops located in this city. We gain as a city and county, and State, not enry by the increase in taxable property thus added, but by the addition to our population of a good clas3 of citizens for mechanics are next in order of benefit to a community after the farmers ; and in some respects thef may be superior at least the far iiicrs could not well do without the rae chanic. any more than the mechanic could do without the farmer. Judge E. S. Dundy arrived in the city this morning, on his way to Lincoln. Dr. F. Renner, Deputy U. S. Asses- sor, is in the city on business. He will remain a day or two. The Omaha papers of this morning have accounts of no less than three dif ferent highway robberies. It U currently reported in Democratic circlc3 that J. Sterling Morton, the ex-edit- or of the ex-New- s, will try to regain his former editorial honors by taking hold of the Lincoln Statesman. Dr. F. Renner has been appointed and confirmed post master at Nebraska City. We believe the Dr. will make an efiicient officer. His appointment will have the effec. to settle the controversy in regard to the office, whether or not it satisfies all parties. We hope the Dr. will use his power in the party in Otoe to settle any differences that may exist. Married, on Monday, July 1 1th, at the residence of Fred Stadelmann, in this . city, by A. L. Child, Probate Judge. Mr. Augustus William Gristerson and Miss Frederika Brustrum. Mr. Azro Smith of Rock Bluffs, has the finest Cabbag in the State, ne left a head at the Hxrald office this morning which weighs seven and a half pounds. It ia known as Fatler s Im proved Bruaswick. He also has some o: the finest Cauliflower we ever saw, and tomatoes as large as your fist. Mr. Smith believes there is virtue in manure, even on Nebraska sou. Thos. K. Hanna, one of the early eel tiers of Plattsmouth, is staying in the city a few days. Mr. Hanna i3 now en gaged in the wholesale dry goods trade at Kansas City. A private letter from Central City, Colorado, informs us that articles in the Herald have induced several ifamiliei tn rrmove from that locality to the coun try lying west of and tributary to Platts-mourJ- i. We are always gratified to hear cf tbfte evidences of the usefulness of he IIeuald. The Omaha Herald pays Col. Taylor a hi?h compliment as a journalist upon his retiring from the editorial control of h Republican. It FpeaKS oi mm as a writer of ability and power, and a jour-na'l- -t beroml to r.ne ia tbi portion of The editors of the Blair Register have been arrested for an alleged violation of the postal law in the sending of priuted advertising slips folded in their papers. Mr. Jos. Shera, of Rock Bluffs, has a few of those excellent hams left, which can be had at 22 cents a pound. They are the only home cured hams we know of in this region. Those in want of them will do well to call soon. P. G. Dobson, an old resident of Rock Bluffs, came in from his new uooie at Ulysses, in Butler county, yesterday. He has fchown us a sample of barley raised by him at Ulysses which equals any barley we ever saw. lie also has some very fine wheat. The barley can be seen at the Herald office. An army officer writes us from Chey- - , 1 r 1, 1 enne, saying: "X wisn you wouia sena me your interesting paper to this place, as it is impossible to get any news out of the Omaha papers in relation to the south side of the Platte." We cheer fully add his name to our list, and would say that, while the Omaha papers are models of excellence in their way, they are not supposed to be so particular about giving the news cf this great agri- cultural and manufacturing region as is the Herald, which claims to be the es pecial champion of the interests of this resion. Wc understand a large brick store has been decided on near the Platte Valley. Billin & Son are finishing their new ouilding opposite the Brooks House. It is one of the neatest buildings in the west. The Republican County Committee of Otoe have called a Convention to elect delegates to take place on the 6th of Au-- u.st. The Chronicle says the appointment of Dr. Renner as post master at Nebraska City was unexpected by almost every- body. Mr. ttlackmar, of the firm of Acres, Blackmar & Co., of Burlington, was in the city this morning. The Herald is fast becoming tJie pa per of Nebraska. It is not only read by all Nebraskiaas but is found in many families and business places in far off countircs. e acknowledge the receipt of a small club and tte accompanying cash from La Paz, Arazonia, which came to hand yesterday. We hear every day the people of Omaha an! Nebraska City talking about the necessity of having railroads so that they can get stone for building purposes. We have a little advantage over them, as we have inexhaustable quarries ad joining the city, of as fine rock as one could wish. Send along your Railroads, gentlemen ; we can supply you with building rock. We understand the large raft of logs which came down the river yesterday was purchased by parties in this city. The raft was started from Little Sioux river, and contains about 35,000 feet of lumber. If any one thinks there is not a lively demand for houses in the city, notwith- standing the large number built this sea- son, let him start a fosndation and watch the swarm that it will attract to rent it. It is customary here for houses to be rented in advanee of being built, and often the renter ha advanced a large portion of the K)ncy, on rents, with which to construct the building. Hcsscr more than supplied the Her- ald ofliee this morning with choice flowers. He ornamented the Sanctum with some dozen or fifteen different flow ering plants, and then capped the heap with the finest boquet we have seen for years. The central flower of the bo- quet is a large Clcrodondrcn, one of the most fragrant flowers known. May Hesser's shadow never grow less. Between four and fivo hundred home. stciid.i were secured at the Lincoln Land Office during the month of June. This, taken in connection "with the fact that $400,000 worth of railroad lands were sold by Commissioner Harris during the same time, in the same region of country, looks very much as though people were coming to this part of the footstool in great numbers. In the language of the advertisements of the story papers, "now is the time to subscribe" if you want a nip at the Nebraska lands. A gentleman of large experience as sured us this morning that he had been watching for the past year to see what point in Nebraska was. likely to be the irrcat commercial center, and where it would pay best to make a permanent in vestment, and that he had decided upon Plattsmouth as the oint. He has made money in other towns of the State, but he has decided upon this as the place for business and permanent investments. Most of our State exchanges have en dorsed the proposition for an editorial convention to be held at Lincoln on the 10th day of August. Therefore, we suggest that the convention is afoicgone conclusion. We hope there may he a general attendance. Mr. Shrider was in the city yesterday, and informs us that many of the farmers in the southern part of the county arc nearly done their harvest. A murder was committed at Forest City, in Sarpy county, on the evening of the 4th. A discussion arose in regard to a bond question, between Thomas and his nephew, Pat. Melia, during which Pat. Melia struck his uncle with a club, breaking his skulL John Young, of the firm of Goodwin & Young, has been appointed Post- master at Ashland. Two large, powerful steam ferry boats are constantly plying between Platts-niout- h and the Iowa shore, and the third one will be here in a few days. Railroad anl a good farming commu- nity make lots of business. By conversing with farmers from the lower and middle portions of the county we find they are alive to the importance of the proposed change of the line of the Omaha, PLttsBsouih and Gulf CLE A. MSG I'P. We are pleased to notice that our city Street Commissioner is having Main street cleared of all boxes, sticks, and rubbish generally. It will make the city look an hundred per cent better. coxnrcTOR fakkutjust hurt. We learn that A. Parkhurst, Esq., conductor on one of the passenger trains running between this city and Lincoln, was injured severely this morning, at Newton station. He was coupling cars, and was caught between the bumpere. There are bo bones broken, but his body i3 scvely bruised, so as to lay him up for a time. THE FOURTH AT EIGHT MILE. We learn from Mr. Samuel Richard son that the people of Eight Mile Grove had a very pleasant time on the Fourth. ;V pic-ni-c originally intended aj a Sun day School pic-ni- c was had near the church, where the Declaration of Inde pendence was read, and appropriate speeches were made by different parties. A good time generally was had. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. A gcnntleman was robbed between Omaha and Bellevue, last Saturday even ing, by two ruffians who met him on the road and presented each a revolver at his head. They took from him $20.00 in cash, a draft calling for $500.00, and stripped him of his coat and vest. No clue to who the robbers were. This is not the first robbery committed in the same locality. Look out for hemp. FIRST LOCOMOTIVE. We learn from the Omaha Republican that the first locomotive for the South Western road has been secured. It is called the "S. S. Caldwell," in honor of the energetic President of the company. It is from the well-know- n manufactory of Hinkley & Williams, of Boston. It will whistle in Plattsmouth before frost comes. MORE TEXAS CATTLE. Plattsmoatta (be grreat Shipping: Point. Another installment of two hundred and fifty head of Texas cattle arrived in the city this morning, for shipment east. A part of them go via Council Bluffs, and we presume the others go to Chicago by the B. & M. Dealers in this stock are finding out that it is more profitable to ship by Plattsmouth than from any other point in the State. By coming here the crossing of that ugly stream, the Platte, is avoided. rQE GREAT II. R. BRIDGE. The Preliminary Sonndlng. SolI4 Rock the entire distance across the River. We have heretofore assured the read crs of the Herald that a good rock foundation for a bridge existed in the bottom of the "old muddy" at this place, but we have not before been able to give the exact depth at which the rock was to be found. The engineer corps have been at work for the past week making preliminary surveys and soundings for a bridge at this point, and their labors reveal the joyful fact that rock exists on the Nebraska side from half a mile above our town to half a mile below ; and at Rocky Point, at the south line of the city, rock is found the entire way across, and only forty feet below the water line at the lowest place. This settles the matter of a bridge at this point The river only seventeen hundred feet in width, a good rock bottom the entire way across, and a permanent channel are advantages for bridging the Missouri river found at no other point within three hundred miles of,rhcre, and advantages which must be felt in the commercial world. The al- most impracticability of ferrying the Missouri river at any point makes' the necessity forjudging still greater ; but the experiment f attempting to set a bridge upon the quick sands of the Mis- souri, and then elevate it sixty feet above high-wat- er mark the required heighth for a high bridgo is so uncertain that the great advantages of rock bottom and a permanent channel admitting the erection of a low bridge and a draw cannot be ignored. The close of anoth er season will witness long trains of cars passing back and forth over the B. & M R. R. bridse at Plattsmouth. Stick a pin titer e. SOKE1UIX SEW UNDER THE SI X, A Steam Thresher In Cass Connly. Dr. Latta received to-d- ay a steam power for threshing, direct from the manufactory, which is a little ahead of anything we have seen for a time. It consists of a boiler and engine apparatus combined, which sets upon iron wheels and running gear manufactured espe- cially for the purpose. The wheels are broad, to prevent siuking in soft ground. The outfit is provided with asmoke stack protected by a screen, and it is said that the protection of the screen is so perfect that a bundle of straw can rest all day on top of the smoke stack without tak- ing fire. The apparatus complete can be hauled anywhere by one pair of horses. It has the power of ten or twelve horses, and only requires 5 bushels of coal per day to run it. Ten or twelve barrels of water a day is sufficient to supply steam. There is no stopping to "let the horses blow" with this machine. It seems to us it is bound to revolutionize the work of the farm in more respects than threshing. We hope to hear a favora- ble report from this machine at the close of the season's work. We trust Dr. Latta will keep a close record of the ex- penditures necessary to operate this ma- chine, also of the amount of work ac- complished by it, so that we may give the public the benefit of his experiment. Olive Logan is a little deaf. At Madi- son, while at the hotel, she was called on by numerous admirers of tha sternersex. They had been talking about children, and branched off into talking about peo- ple's ages. Postmaster Keves asked Olive how many children she had. "Eighteen," said she, thinking he had a kea her ac. Parties from the Capital inftrui u. salt is being manufactured there iu con- siderable quantitie?. A large number of wooden vats have been constructed for solar evaporation, and the results thus far in this line have teen highly satisfac- tory. This climate is especially adapted to solar evaporatian, as we have but a limited amount of "wet weather," and have a good breeze, as well as warm sunshine, to assist the evaporation. The only obstacles heretofore in the way of developing the Salt interests of Lincoln has been tho lack of cheap transporta- tion. The B. & M. R. R. is now open to Lincoln (or will be in a few days), and we expect to see Nebraska, Iowa, Mis souri, and in fact the entire region of country between the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains, supplied with Salt manufactured from the Lincoln works. It is a big thing for Plattsmouth, as well as Lincoln, for all this vast amount of merchandise will be brought to this city for distribution on the different routes. DOUBLE HURDER. The Sheriff or Eneas County Shot and His Murderer Hang-e- d From the Court House Window. From parties who came through over the B. & M. we learn that a double mur- der was perpetrated at Chariton, Lucas county, Iowa, Thursday evening. It ap- pears that the Sheriff of that county had orders to arrest a supposed horse-thie- f. He found his man and made the arrest. He asked the prisoner where his horse was, and he told him. The Sheriff re- marked that he would take care of the horse, or words to that effect, when the prisoner said he would take care of his own horse, and at the same moment drew a revolver and shot the Sheriff through the breast. He started toron, but was soon secured and taken into the Court House. The Sheriff only lived a few minutes, and had hardly breathed his last when the excited populace placed a rope around the neck of his murderer and launched his guilty soul into eternity by suspending his body out of the second story window of the Court House. THE SOUTII-WESTER- X. We publish an article to-da- y from the Omaha Republican, relative to the con- nection of the above named railroad with the B. & M. We agree with the Re- publican that a connoction should be made, and it seems to us the point to make the connection is on the most di- rect line between Omaha and Platts mouth, thu3 making the line serve the double purpose of its original design and a portion of the Trunk line. The adop- tion of the proposition to connect ditectly with this city will prove of more real advantage to Cass county than would a connection at what now is termed Omaha J unction on the B. & M. The former would give more business to the road) and would be much better for both Omaha and Cass county. While it would give the farmers of Cass all the advan- tages of the Omaha market, it would give Omaha the advantage of a double connection with not only Cass county but with the entire South Platte. A con- nection at Omaha Junction would only give Umalia connection with the west line ol railroad, while a connection at this city direct would give them a con- nection both west and south. Let the people, as well as the Railroad Company and the interests of Cass as well as the interests of Omaha be consulted in this matter. TURN OUT. Let every Republican in Cass county remember that Saturday, the 23d day of July, at 2 o'clock p. m., is the time ap pointed for holding primary meetings in the different precincts to elect delegates to attend the County Convention. We hope no Republican will be absent from these primary meetings, as right there is where the evil or good takes shape in party politics. If you leave it to a few political demagogues and tricksters to rule the primary meetings, you must ex- pect the natural fruits of such parentage to manifest itself all the way up thro' the machinery of politics. By turning out at the primary meetings and sending the right kind of men to your County Conventions, they in turn will send the right kind of men to the State Conven tion, where, as a natural consequence, the right kind of men will be nominated to office. On the other hand if you stay away from the primary meetings and al low a half dozen scheming demagogues (and they are alwaj-- s on hand at these meetings they are never too busy to at tend to rule, they in turn will send men of their own stamp (if they have to send themselves) to the County Convention, where, in turn, the same class of men will be sent to the State Convention to nominate the member of Congress and the men who are to fill the State offices. Turn out and send the right kind of men to the County Convention, and our word for it, it will be time well spent Standing; on Her Dignity. The Keokuk Constitutirn says that on Tuesday, a young lady and gentleman, apparently strangers, entered a dry goods store to make some purchases. The lady was talkative and purchased one of the articles. When the twain were about to take their leave, the accommodating salesman asked the lady, who had done the talking and paid the bill if she would not purchase one or more of his tasteful hats for boys. The lady assuming the dignity of Queen Elizabeth, said : "No ; I've only been married about twenty minutes. 1 have no boys yet !" A chap passed through here a day or two ago, on his return to Missouri, after having tried to live in Minnesota. "Don t like it up thar," said he. "Have nine months of winter, and the rest cf the time it's d d late m the faUf A giddy student, having got his skull fractured, was told by the doctor that the brain was visible, on which he re marked, "Do write and tell father, for he always said I hud none. ' ' An Assistant Marshal, in taking the census in Louisville, asked a colored woman what personal property she pos- - "Nothing but these three chCIen yere, J an they ain't wuth much." 1 ti;e p'iti;al. L:st y&.z a amount of bud biood was produced in our county convention on a question of time, and we therefore advise that steps be taken this year to prevent a repetition of the same thing. It was decided last year that the time at which delegates to the county convention was elected was of greater importance than the numbers that participated in the election. While we protest as we did at that time against the injustice of this kind of ruling, yet in order that harmony may prevail, wc advise that the Secretary of each primary meeting include in his re- port the exact hour of meeting, the hour at which the vote was taken, and the hour of adjournment As there is no telling what little quirk or quibble may be sprung (taking the past as a guide), it might not be amiss to note, also, what time was used whether sun time or clock time, or whether the time was guessed at as near as could be. We know that many of our farmers are with- out reliable time-piece- s, and pinning them down to a nicety on a question of time may have the effect to disfranchise them ; yet if it should be (which we hope will not be the case) that the com- ing convention should stick upon as trivial a matter as did the last, we see no hope for the man who does not carry a chronometer. Seriously, however, we advise all Republicans to be on hand punctual at the hour designated by the Central Committee 2 p. m., on Satur- day, the 23d of July, inst. It can cer- tainly do no harm, and may do much good. While we have always held, and always expect to hold, to the belief that the will of a majority, whenever ex- pressed, provided it is done with honest intent and without trickery, should al- ways rule, yet we believe it is no less the duty of that majority to attend punc- tually at the time named in the call for primary meetings. We have always be- lieved it to be within the province of the people themselves to say who should rep- resent them at any time or place, and no one has a right to gainsay what the peo- ple have decided upon ; yet for the sake of harmony we advise strict conformity to the programme laid down, else some other precinct may be disfranchised this year, a3 Plattsmouth was last. A CHANGE. The Omaha Republican of yesterday morning contains the "good-bye- " of Col. E. B. Taylor as editor of that journal, and the introductory remarks of Mr. John Teesdale. We extract the follow-- ing from Mr. Teesdales' introductory, which has the ring of the true metal : "Nor are we unaware of the responsi-biliti- s connected with the editorial man- agement of a widely circulated and influ- ential journal. Much thought and long experience have impressed us deeply nith a sense of that responsibility. The newspaper is a great educator. Its in- fluence is felt everywhere, as it is read by all classes. It behooves it therefore to see that that influence be for good : on the side of the right and not for evil. There are charlatans in all professions. TI12 editorial profession has not escaped their pestiferous influence. The press may not be expected to do the work of the pulpit, the teacher cr the lecturer But it should with all, as far as they are engaged in their legitimate work. It is, the political teacher; and where the life of the na- tion depends upon the proper exercise of political privileges, woe to the country if its journalism be debauched, fake, reck- less, subsidized ; pandering to a corrupt taste and appetite ; ministering to preju- dice and passion ; assisting in the eleva- tion of demagogues and self-seeke- rs ; selling its power for place, and place for gain ; fawning and flattering where it should denounce, making merchandize of its principles, and power, that thrift may follow its fawning. Such is the Sa- tanic press, so called. TFould that its imitators, large and small, were fewer. ' ' PLATTSMOUTH. Honest Opinion of a Rival. PlatfAuiouth theXatural Depot. The Picture not overdone by. the Herald. Col. Taylor, of the Omaha Republi- can, passed through our city last week, for the first time since last winter, and the following is what he says of our town through the columns of the Re- publican : "As a citizen of Nebraska, feeling a lively interest in the development of every portion ol tno etaie, we were more than gratified, as we passed through Plattsmouth on Monday last, to witness the many substantial evidences of a healthy growth and prosperity which were everywhere apparent. Many fine buildings have been erected during the present season, and many more are in process of construction. "Plattsmouth is the natural depot for a large and highly productive district of country, extending DacK into me mwrior as far as the line of the B. & M. Rail- road extends, and as such she has a pros- perous future before her. "We have been reading the many clever things which Bro. Hathaway of the Herald has been saying of his city, and knowing that editors are not in the habit of depreciating the advantages of their respective localities, we were pre- pared to make all due allowances for any discrepancies which might be apparent between the ideal and the real; but candor compels us to admit that the Herald has not overdone the picture. Plattsmouth is on a substantial ba-i- s, and is destined to take rank among the largest and best towns of our young suite, oo muie it uc i When we consider that the above is from a paper which is expected to espe- cially advocate the claims and advertise the importance of a rival city, it Fpeaks volumes for Plattsmouth . It is the very best of testimony in our favor, as it is evidence of the "other side." The peeple of our city will ever remeniler CoL Taylor for being thus candid in his ' v statements. In hi3 address to the students of the Union Theological Seminary, Dr. made many very effective points. One suggestion may be very useful to some "pastors" who have been out of the seminary for some time : "In the morning of each day, study book ; in the afternoon, study door-plat- es said hu- man nature." "I can marry any girl I pleaso," said a young fellow boastingly. - Very true," replied his wareis . companion, hx you I can't please any. ' Z .' ; . ; : j I 'iu w i: n : ii.i, , . ijl.lJC.'. iv'-J.- . !"." T ili-'- 1 t.0 w leet money on u'i. e.ipti n. ndvrti-in- ; and job work due the HtTtALD oliVe, and he wl! also solicit work and sub- scriptions. We hope those of our pa- trons upon whom he may call will en- deavor to pay up as promptly as possi- ble, as it requires money to run a news- paper, as well as to do anything else suc- cessfully. d&wtf IT IS IMPORTANT. We hope no Republican voter iu Cas county will stay away from the pri.viarj-meeting- s next Saturday because he may chance to think it is not very important. If you would have Nebraska properly represented in Congress if you would see the executive office aud the other State offices, filled by upright and just men, then attend your primary meetings, and see that the same stamp of men are sent to the County Convention to repre- sent you. Be on hand punctually at two o'cloclc p. m. , Saturday, July 23d. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. The building owned by Merges & Bro, and occupied by them as a marble yard office, near the corner of Sixth and Main streets, was struck by lightning during the storm last night, shattering the front badly. There is a family living in the second story, but there was no one hurt HAN DROWNED. Wc learn that a man named John Lawther. of Pennsylvania, a section hand on the Railroad, working on sec- tion 1 3, was drowned in the Platte last evening, while in bathin?. We have not heard any particulars except as above. It is said he has a wife near Liverpool, England. Will people never learn, ex cept by these sad experiences, that no one is safe in the treacherous sands of the Platte or Missouri. THE PLACE. Do not forget that the place designa- ted by the County Central Committee for holding the primary meetings on the 23d inst. is where elections are usually held. It might have been judicious to have allowed precinct committeemen to designate the most convenient place for holding the meetings ; but as' the place has been designated, as well as the time, and it gives an opportunity for a quibble if the meetings are not held at the required place, we ad- vise a strict compliance with the orders of the central committee. Do not for- get the hour 2 o'clock p. m. and the place the usual place of holding elec- tions in the various precincts. Let the Republicans turn out en masse, and elect true men to represent you in the county conventions. Do not allow any political shysters, who are always ready to "fix up a hand" (as it is pertinently termed by one of their number), to cheat you out of a voice in the affairs of govern- ment. THE PRIMARY MEETINGS. There is scarcely a man in the country who has sufficient intcllieenee to be a Republican that does not know that one of the prime reasons why slavery flour- ished for so many j'ears in this country was that the great mass of upright, hon est men, who abhorred the trafie in the bodies and souls of men and women, were too deeply engrossed iu their own labors and were too much inclined to say lot tli3 politicians attend to the poli- tics of the country to take hold of the matter and remedy the evil by a con- stant application of the principles of eternal justice in the political affairs of the nation. They allowed political dem- agogues and charlatans to manage the affairs of the nation to a great extent, consequently much of evil crept in where all was good, or nearly all, at the com- mencement of the government .But there was an awakening, which shook the gov- ernment to its centre, and the hearts of the strongest had fearful misgivings as to the result. Truth and justice finally triumthed. but at what a sacrifice of blood and treasure ? Is it possible can it be that the loyal people of this nation will so soon forget the terrible struggle for a national existence as to again relax their vigilance of political matters, and allow this same class of po litical charlatans to control the affairs of government, and to again humble the na tion and either destroy it altogether or cause a of the scenes of the "war for the Union." "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty ;" and if the people would have liberty they should be ever on the alert The time and place to correct all these errors is at the primary meetings, and no man i3 true to his gov crnment or to himself if he neglects to attend these meetings and give the po- litical machinery of the nation the proper start. If it is started right it will be very likely to continue right ; but if it is started wrong it will be likely to con tinue wrong. The primary meeting is ihe only place where the people have full control There they have the power to say not only who shall not represent them, but who shall represent them. Their power is greater at the primary meetings than at the ballot-bo- x ; for at the ballot-bo- x they can only choose be tween the candidates, and both may be bad. At the primary meetings they have free choice, and none should fail to attend them. Republicans of Cass county, remember that Saturday, the 23d day of July, at 2 o'cloek p. m., is the time designated for you to express your preferences on political matters of the State, and it is your only change for two years.

Mr. Mauley informs ua that the R. R.track will be thoved into Lincola in thecourse cf the week as soon as the tim-

bers arrive for a couple of small bridges.

We learn that Mr. Dilley's school hada pic-ni- c ia the west part of town lastSaturday, where enjoyment reigned.

The Omaha papers now reach us at10 a. m. on the morning of publication.We hope our Omaha friends will not fail

to get them into the mail in time.

Four hundred and seventy-fou- r Chi-

namen went east over the B. & M. lastSaturday. They are the same lot wementioned a few days since, destined toTennessee, to work on the grade of theChattanooga railroad.

We understand several head of Texascattle swam the Missouri river this morn-

ing.

Did you ever notice those beautifulcap stones used in the State LunaticAsylum, at Lincoln? They came from

the inexhaustible quarries belonging toDaniel Sweeney, Esq., near Ashland,

-- and are of the finest magnesian limes-ton-

e. These quarries wDl be of incal-

culable benefit to Plattsmoutu in a few

years, as soon as we commence erecting"first-clas- s houses.

It does one good to see the long linesof immigrant wagons crossing the J or-d- an

(old muddy) inta the land of promise.Not a day passes hut some are added toour numbers by immigration, and allwho come annear satisfied. One forlorn, homesick Canadian, sends up awad from Fremont, and we lelieve he isthe only man in all this broad btatc that isdissatisfied.

One of the direct beaefits observedfrom the building f the B. & M. R. Rfrom this city west, the large mrmbcrof houses being erected by the mechanicsengaged on the road and in the machine6hops located in this city. We gain as acity and county, and State, not enry by theincrease in taxable property thus added,but by the addition to our population of agood clas3 of citizens for mechanics arenext in order of benefit to a communityafter the farmers ; and in some respectsthef may be superior at least the fariiicrs could not well do without the raechanic. any more than the mechaniccould do without the farmer.

Judge E. S. Dundy arrived in the citythis morning, on his way to Lincoln.

Dr. F. Renner, Deputy U. S. Asses-

sor, is in the city on business. He willremain a day or two.

The Omaha papers of this morninghave accounts of no less than three different highway robberies.

It U currently reported in Democraticcirclc3 that J. Sterling Morton, the ex-edit- or

of the ex-New- s, will try to regainhis former editorial honors by takinghold of the Lincoln Statesman.

Dr. F. Renner has been appointedand confirmed post master at NebraskaCity. We believe the Dr. will make anefiicient officer. His appointment willhave the effec. to settle the controversyin regard to the office, whether or not itsatisfies all parties. We hope the Dr.will use his power in the party in Otoeto settle any differences that may exist.

Married, on Monday, July 1 1th, at theresidence of Fred Stadelmann, in this

. city, by A. L. Child, Probate Judge.Mr. Augustus William Gristerson andMiss Frederika Brustrum.

Mr. Azro Smith of Rock Bluffs, hasthe finest Cabbag in the State, neleft a head at the Hxrald office thismorning which weighs seven and a halfpounds. It ia known as Fatler s Improved Bruaswick. He also has some o:

the finest Cauliflower we ever saw, andtomatoes as large as your fist. Mr.Smith believes there is virtue in manure,even on Nebraska sou.

Thos. K. Hanna, one of the early eeltiers of Plattsmouth, is staying in thecity a few days. Mr. Hanna i3 now engaged in the wholesale dry goods tradeat Kansas City.

A private letter from Central City,Colorado, informs us that articles in theHerald have induced several ifamilieitn rrmove from that locality to the country lying west of and tributary to Platts-mourJ- i.

We are always gratified to hearcf tbfte evidences of the usefulness ofhe IIeuald.

The Omaha Herald pays Col. Taylor

a hi?h compliment as a journalist upon

his retiring from the editorial control of

h Republican. It FpeaKS oi mm as awriter of ability and power, and a jour-na'l- -t

beroml to r.ne ia tbi portion of

The editors of the Blair Register havebeen arrested for an alleged violation ofthe postal law in the sending of priutedadvertising slips folded in their papers.

Mr. Jos. Shera, of Rock Bluffs, has afew of those excellent hams left, whichcan be had at 22 cents a pound. Theyare the only home cured hams we know

of in this region. Those in want ofthem will do well to call soon.

P. G. Dobson, an old resident of RockBluffs, came in from his new uooie atUlysses, in Butler county, yesterday.He has fchown us a sample of barleyraised by him at Ulysses which equalsany barley we ever saw. lie also hassome very fine wheat. The barley canbe seen at the Herald office.

An army officer writes us from Chey- -,1 r 1, 1enne, saying: "X wisn you wouia sena

me your interesting paper to this place,

as it is impossible to get any news out ofthe Omaha papers in relation to thesouth side of the Platte." We cheerfully add his name to our list, and wouldsay that, while the Omaha papers aremodels of excellence in their way, theyare not supposed to be so particularabout giving the news cf this great agri-

cultural and manufacturing region as isthe Herald, which claims to be the especial champion of the interests of thisresion.

Wc understand a large brick store hasbeen decided on near the Platte Valley.

Billin & Son are finishing their newouilding opposite the Brooks House.It is one of the neatest buildings in thewest.

The Republican County Committee ofOtoe have called a Convention to electdelegates to take place on the 6th of Au--

u.st.

The Chronicle says the appointment ofDr. Renner as post master at NebraskaCity was unexpected by almost every-

body.Mr. ttlackmar, of the firm of Acres,

Blackmar & Co., of Burlington, was inthe city this morning.

The Herald is fast becoming tJie paper of Nebraska. It is not only read byall Nebraskiaas but is found in manyfamilies and business places in far off

countircs. e acknowledge the receiptof a small club and tte accompanyingcash from La Paz, Arazonia, which cameto hand yesterday.

We hear every day the people ofOmaha an! Nebraska City talking aboutthe necessity of having railroads so thatthey can get stone for building purposes.We have a little advantage over them,as we have inexhaustable quarries adjoining the city, of as fine rock as onecould wish. Send along your Railroads,gentlemen ; we can supply you withbuilding rock.

We understand the large raft of logswhich came down the river yesterdaywas purchased by parties in this city.

The raft was started from Little Siouxriver, and contains about 35,000 feet oflumber.

If any one thinks there is not a livelydemand for houses in the city, notwith-standing the large number built this sea-

son, let him start a fosndation and watchthe swarm that it will attract to rent it.It is customary here for houses to berented in advanee of being built, andoften the renter ha advanced a largeportion of the K)ncy, on rents, withwhich to construct the building.

Hcsscr more than supplied the Her-

ald ofliee this morning with choice

flowers. He ornamented the Sanctumwith some dozen or fifteen different flow

ering plants, and then capped the heapwith the finest boquet we have seen foryears. The central flower of the bo-

quet is a large Clcrodondrcn, one of themost fragrant flowers known. MayHesser's shadow never grow less.

Between four and fivo hundred home.stciid.i were secured at the Lincoln LandOffice during the month of June. This,taken in connection "with the fact that$400,000 worth of railroad lands weresold by Commissioner Harris during thesame time, in the same region of country,looks very much as though people werecoming to this part of the footstool in

great numbers. In the language of theadvertisements of the story papers, "nowis the time to subscribe" if you want anip at the Nebraska lands.

A gentleman of large experience assured us this morning that he had beenwatching for the past year to see whatpoint in Nebraska was. likely to be theirrcat commercial center, and where itwould pay best to make a permanent investment, and that he had decided uponPlattsmouth as the oint. He has mademoney in other towns of the State, buthe has decided upon this as the placefor business and permanent investments.

Most of our State exchanges have endorsed the proposition for an editorialconvention to be held at Lincoln on the10th day of August. Therefore, wesuggest that the convention is afoicgoneconclusion. We hope there may he ageneral attendance.

Mr. Shrider was in the city yesterday,and informs us that many of the farmersin the southern part of the county arcnearly done their harvest.

A murder was committed at ForestCity, in Sarpy county, on the evening ofthe 4th. A discussion arose in regard toa bond question, between Thomasand his nephew, Pat. Melia, duringwhich Pat. Melia struck his uncle witha club, breaking his skulL

John Young, of the firm of Goodwin& Young, has been appointed Post-master at Ashland.

Two large, powerful steam ferry boatsare constantly plying between Platts-niout- h

conductor on one of the passenger trainsrunning between this city and Lincoln,was injured severely this morning, atNewton station. He was coupling cars,and was caught between the bumpere.There are bo bones broken, but his bodyi3 scvely bruised, so as to lay him up fora time.

THE FOURTH AT EIGHT MILE.We learn from Mr. Samuel Richard

son that the people of Eight Mile Grovehad a very pleasant time on the Fourth.;V pic-ni-c originally intended aj a Sunday School pic-ni-c was had near thechurch, where the Declaration of Independence was read, and appropriatespeeches were made by different parties.A good time generally was had.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.A gcnntleman was robbed between

Omaha and Bellevue, last Saturday evening, by two ruffians who met him on theroad and presented each a revolver athis head. They took from him $20.00in cash, a draft calling for $500.00, andstripped him of his coat and vest. Noclue to who the robbers were. This isnot the first robbery committed in thesame locality. Look out for hemp.

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.We learn from the Omaha Republican

that the first locomotive for the SouthWestern road has been secured. It iscalled the "S. S. Caldwell," in honor ofthe energetic President of the company.It is from the well-know- n manufactory ofHinkley & Williams, of Boston. It willwhistle in Plattsmouth before frostcomes.

MORE TEXAS CATTLE.

Plattsmoatta (be grreat Shipping:Point.

Another installment of two hundredand fifty head of Texas cattle arrived inthe city this morning, for shipment east.A part of them go via Council Bluffs,and we presume the others go to Chicagoby the B. & M. Dealers in this stockare finding out that it is more profitableto ship by Plattsmouth than from anyother point in the State. By cominghere the crossing of that ugly stream,the Platte, is avoided.

rQE GREAT II. R. BRIDGE.

The Preliminary Sonndlng.

SolI4 Rock the entire distance acrossthe River.

We have heretofore assured the readcrs of the Herald that a good rockfoundation for a bridge existed in thebottom of the "old muddy" at this place,but we have not before been able to givethe exact depth at whichthe rock was to be found. The engineercorps have been at work for the pastweek making preliminary surveys andsoundings for a bridge at this point, andtheir labors reveal the joyful fact thatrock exists on the Nebraska side fromhalf a mile above our town to half amile below ; and at Rocky Point, at thesouth line of the city, rock is found theentire way across, and only fortyfeet below the water line at thelowest place. This settles the matterof a bridge at this point The river onlyseventeen hundred feet in width, a goodrock bottom the entire way across, and apermanent channel are advantages forbridging the Missouri river found at noother point within three hundred milesof,rhcre, and advantages which must befelt in the commercial world. The al-

most impracticability of ferrying theMissouri river at any point makes' thenecessity forjudging still greater ; butthe experiment f attempting to set abridge upon the quick sands of the Mis-

souri, and then elevate it sixty feet abovehigh-wat- er mark the required heighthfor a high bridgo is so uncertain thatthe great advantages of rock bottom anda permanent channel admitting theerection of a low bridge and a drawcannot be ignored. The close of another season will witness long trains of carspassing back and forth over the B. & MR. R. bridse at Plattsmouth. Stick apin titer e.

SOKE1UIX SEW UNDER THE SI X,

A Steam Thresher In Cass Connly.

Dr. Latta received to-d- ay a steampower for threshing, direct from themanufactory, which is a little ahead ofanything we have seen for a time. Itconsists of a boiler and engine apparatuscombined, which sets upon iron wheelsand running gear manufactured espe-

cially for the purpose. The wheels arebroad, to prevent siuking in soft ground.The outfit is provided with asmoke stackprotected by a screen, and it is said thatthe protection of the screen is so perfectthat a bundle of straw can rest all dayon top of the smoke stack without tak-

ing fire. The apparatus complete canbe hauled anywhere by one pair ofhorses.It has the power of ten or twelve horses,and only requires 5 bushels of coal perday to run it. Ten or twelve barrels ofwater a day is sufficient to supply steam.There is no stopping to "let the horsesblow" with this machine. It seems to usit is bound to revolutionize thework of the farm in more respects thanthreshing. We hope to hear a favora-ble report from this machine at the closeof the season's work. We trust Dr.Latta will keep a close record of the ex-

penditures necessary to operate this ma-

chine, also of the amount of work ac-

complished by it, so that we may givethe public the benefit of his experiment.

Parties from the Capital inftrui u.salt is being manufactured there iu con-

siderable quantitie?. A large number ofwooden vats have been constructed forsolar evaporation, and the results thusfar in this line have teen highly satisfac-tory. This climate is especially adaptedto solar evaporatian, as we have but alimited amount of "wet weather," andhave a good breeze, as well as warmsunshine, to assist the evaporation. Theonly obstacles heretofore in the way ofdeveloping the Salt interests of Lincolnhas been tho lack of cheap transporta-tion. The B. & M. R. R. is now opento Lincoln (or will be in a few days), andwe expect to see Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and in fact the entire region ofcountry between the Mississippi and theRocky Mountains, supplied with Saltmanufactured from the Lincoln works.It is a big thing for Plattsmouth, as wellas Lincoln, for all this vast amount ofmerchandise will be brought to this cityfor distribution on the different routes.

DOUBLE HURDER.

The Sheriff or Eneas County Shot andHis Murderer Hang-e- d From

the Court HouseWindow.

From parties who came through overthe B. & M. we learn that a double mur-der was perpetrated at Chariton, Lucascounty, Iowa, Thursday evening. It ap-pears that the Sheriff of that county hadorders to arrest a supposed horse-thie- f.

He found his man and made the arrest.He asked the prisoner where his horsewas, and he told him. The Sheriff re-

marked that he would take care of thehorse, or words to that effect, when theprisoner said he would take care of hisown horse, and at the same momentdrew a revolver and shot the Sheriffthrough the breast. He started toron,but was soon secured and taken into theCourt House. The Sheriff only lived afew minutes, and had hardly breathedhis last when the excited populace placeda rope around the neck of his murdererand launched his guilty soul into eternityby suspending his body out of the secondstory window of the Court House.

THE SOUTII-WESTER- X.

We publish an article to-da- y from theOmaha Republican, relative to the con-

nection of the above named railroad withthe B. & M. We agree with the Re-publican that a connoction should bemade, and it seems to us the point tomake the connection is on the most di-

rect line between Omaha and Plattsmouth, thu3 making the line serve thedouble purpose of its original design anda portion of the Trunk line. The adop-tion of the proposition to connect ditectlywith this city will prove of more realadvantage to Cass county than would aconnection at what now is termed OmahaJunction on the B. & M. The formerwould give more business to the road)and would be much better for bothOmaha and Cass county. While it wouldgive the farmers of Cass all the advan-tages of the Omaha market, it wouldgive Omaha the advantage of a doubleconnection with not only Cass county butwith the entire South Platte. A con-

nection at Omaha Junction would onlygive Umalia connection with the westline ol railroad, while a connection atthis city direct would give them a con-

nection both west and south. Let thepeople, as well as the Railroad Company

and the interests of Cass as well as theinterests of Omaha be consulted in thismatter.

TURN OUT.Let every Republican in Cass county

remember that Saturday, the 23d day ofJuly, at 2 o'clock p. m., is the time appointed for holding primary meetings inthe different precincts to elect delegatesto attend the County Convention. Wehope no Republican will be absent fromthese primary meetings, as right thereis where the evil or good takes shape inparty politics. If you leave it to a fewpolitical demagogues and tricksters torule the primary meetings, you must ex-

pect the natural fruits of such parentageto manifest itself all the way up thro'the machinery of politics. By turningout at the primary meetings and sendingthe right kind of men to your CountyConventions, they in turn will send theright kind of men to the State Convention, where, as a natural consequence,the right kind of men will be nominatedto office. On the other hand if you stayaway from the primary meetings and allow a half dozen scheming demagogues(and they are alwaj-- s on hand at thesemeetings they are never too busy to attend to rule, they in turn will send menof their own stamp (if they have to sendthemselves) to the County Convention,where, in turn, the same class of menwill be sent to the State Convention tonominate the member of Congress andthe men who are to fill the State offices.

Turn out and send the right kind of mento the County Convention, and our word

for it, it will be time well spent

Standing; on Her Dignity.The Keokuk Constitutirn says that on

Tuesday, a young lady and gentleman,apparently strangers, entered a dry goodsstore to make some purchases. The ladywas talkative and purchased one of thearticles. When the twain were about totake their leave, the accommodatingsalesman asked the lady, who had donethe talking and paid the bill if she wouldnot purchase one or more of his tastefulhats for boys. The lady assuming thedignity of Queen Elizabeth, said : "No ;

I've only been married about twentyminutes. 1 have no boys yet !"

ti;e p'iti;al. L:st y&.z aamount of bud biood was produced inour county convention on a question oftime, and we therefore advise that stepsbe taken this year to prevent a repetitionof the same thing. It was decided lastyear that the time at which delegates tothe county convention was elected was ofgreater importance than the numbersthat participated in the election. Whilewe protest as we did at that timeagainst the injustice of this kind ofruling, yet in order that harmony mayprevail, wc advise that the Secretary ofeach primary meeting include in his re-

port the exact hour of meeting, the hourat which the vote was taken, and thehour of adjournment As there is notelling what little quirk or quibble maybe sprung (taking the past as a guide),it might not be amiss to note, also, whattime was used whether sun time orclock time, or whether the time wasguessed at as near as could be. Weknow that many of our farmers are with-

out reliable time-piece- s, and pinningthem down to a nicety on a question oftime may have the effect to disfranchisethem ; yet if it should be (which wehope will not be the case) that the com-

ing convention should stick upon astrivial a matter as did the last, we seeno hope for the man who does not carrya chronometer. Seriously, however, weadvise all Republicans to be on handpunctual at the hour designated by theCentral Committee 2 p. m., on Satur-day, the 23d of July, inst. It can cer-

tainly do no harm, and may do muchgood. While we have always held, andalways expect to hold, to the belief thatthe will of a majority, whenever ex-

pressed, provided it is done with honestintent and without trickery, should al-

ways rule, yet we believe it is no less theduty of that majority to attend punc-tually at the time named in the call forprimary meetings. We have always be-

lieved it to be within the province of thepeople themselves to say who should rep-

resent them at any time or place, and noone has a right to gainsay what the peo-

ple have decided upon ; yet for the sakeof harmony we advise strict conformityto the programme laid down, else someother precinct may be disfranchised thisyear, a3 Plattsmouth was last.

A CHANGE.The Omaha Republican of yesterday

morning contains the "good-bye- " of Col.E. B. Taylor as editor of that journal,and the introductory remarks of Mr.John Teesdale. We extract the follow--

ing from Mr. Teesdales' introductory,which has the ring of the true metal :

"Nor are we unaware of the responsi-biliti- s

connected with the editorial man-agement of a widely circulated and influ-ential journal. Much thought and longexperience have impressed us deeplynith a sense of that responsibility. Thenewspaper is a great educator. Its in-

fluence is felt everywhere, as it is readby all classes. It behooves it thereforeto see that that influence be for good : onthe side of the right and not for evil.There are charlatans in all professions.TI12 editorial profession has not escapedtheir pestiferous influence. The pressmay not be expected to do the work ofthe pulpit, the teacher cr the lecturerBut it should with all, as faras they are engaged in their legitimatework. It is, the politicalteacher; and where the life of the na-

tion depends upon the proper exercise ofpolitical privileges, woe to the country ifits journalism be debauched, fake, reck-less, subsidized ; pandering to a corrupttaste and appetite ; ministering to preju-dice and passion ; assisting in the eleva-tion of demagogues and self-seeke- rs ;

selling its power for place, and place forgain ; fawning and flattering where itshould denounce, making merchandizeof its principles, and power, that thriftmay follow its fawning. Such is the Sa-

tanic press, so called. TFould that itsimitators, large and small, were fewer. ' '

PLATTSMOUTH.

Honest Opinion of a Rival.

PlatfAuiouth theXatural Depot.

The Picture not overdone by. theHerald.

Col. Taylor, of the Omaha Republi-

can, passed through our city last week,

for the first time since last winter, andthe following is what he says of ourtown through the columns of the Re-

publican :"As a citizen of Nebraska, feeling a

lively interest in the development ofevery portion ol tno etaie, we were morethan gratified, as we passed throughPlattsmouth on Monday last, to witnessthe many substantial evidences of ahealthy growth and prosperity whichwere everywhere apparent. Many finebuildings have been erected during thepresent season, and many more are inprocess of construction.

"Plattsmouth is the natural depot for alarge and highly productive district ofcountry, extending DacK into me mwrioras far as the line of the B. & M. Rail-road extends, and as such she has a pros-perous future before her.

"We have been reading the manyclever things which Bro. Hathaway ofthe Herald has been saying of his city,and knowing that editors are not in thehabit of depreciating the advantages oftheir respective localities, we were pre-pared to make all due allowances for anydiscrepancies which might be apparentbetween the ideal and the real; butcandor compels us to admit that theHerald has not overdone the picture.Plattsmouth is on a substantial ba-i- s,

and is destined to take rank among thelargest and best towns of our youngsuite, oo muie it uc i

When we consider that the above isfrom a paper which is expected to espe-

cially advocate the claims and advertisethe importance of a rival city, it Fpeaksvolumes for Plattsmouth . It is the very

best of testimony in our favor, as it isevidence of the "other side." Thepeeple of our city will ever remenilerCoL Taylor for being thus candid in his

' vstatements.

In hi3 address to the students of theUnion Theological Seminary, Dr.

made many very effective points.One suggestion may be very useful tosome "pastors" who have been out ofthe seminary for some time : "In themorning of each day, study book ; inthe afternoon, study door-plat- es said hu-man nature."

IT IS IMPORTANT.We hope no Republican voter iu Cas

county will stay away from the pri.viarj-meeting- s

next Saturday because he maychance to think it is not very important.If you would have Nebraska properlyrepresented in Congress if you wouldsee the executive office aud the otherState offices, filled by upright and justmen, then attend your primary meetings,and see that the same stamp of men aresent to the County Convention to repre-sent you. Be on hand punctually at twoo'cloclc p. m. , Saturday, July 23d.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.The building owned by Merges & Bro,

and occupied by them as a marble yardoffice, near the corner of Sixth and Mainstreets, was struck by lightning duringthe storm last night, shattering the frontbadly. There is a family living in thesecond story, but there was no one hurt

HAN DROWNED.Wc learn that a man named John

Lawther. of Pennsylvania, a sectionhand on the Railroad, working on sec-

tion 1 3, was drowned in the Platte lastevening, while in bathin?. We havenot heard any particulars except as above.It is said he has a wife near Liverpool,England. Will people never learn, except by these sad experiences, that noone is safe in the treacherous sands ofthe Platte or Missouri.

THE PLACE.Do not forget that the place designa-

ted by the County Central Committeefor holding the primary meetings on the23d inst. is where elections are usuallyheld. It might have been judicious tohave allowed precinct committeemen todesignate the most convenient place forholding the meetings ; but as' the placehas been designated, as well as the time,and it gives an opportunity for a quibbleif the meetings are not held atthe required place, we ad-

vise a strict compliance with the ordersof the central committee. Do not for-

get the hour 2 o'clock p. m. and theplace the usual place of holding elec-

tions in the various precincts. Let theRepublicans turn out en masse, and electtrue men to represent you in the countyconventions. Do not allow any politicalshysters, who are always ready to "fixup a hand" (as it is pertinently termedby one of their number), to cheat youout of a voice in the affairs of govern-

ment.THE PRIMARY MEETINGS.

There is scarcely a man in the countrywho has sufficient intcllieenee to be aRepublican that does not know that oneof the prime reasons why slavery flour-

ished for so many j'ears in this countrywas that the great mass of upright, honest men, who abhorred the trafie in thebodies and souls of men and women,were too deeply engrossed iu their ownlabors and were too much inclined tosay lot tli3 politicians attend to the poli-

tics of the country to take hold of thematter and remedy the evil by a con-

stant application of the principles ofeternal justice in the political affairs ofthe nation. They allowed political dem-

agogues and charlatans to manage theaffairs of the nation to a great extent,consequently much of evil crept in whereall was good, or nearly all, at the com-

mencement ofthe government .But therewas an awakening, which shook the gov-

ernment to its centre, and the hearts ofthe strongest had fearful misgivings asto the result. Truth and justice finallytriumthed. but at what a sacrifice ofblood and treasure ? Is it possible canit be that the loyal people of thisnation will so soon forget the terriblestruggle for a national existence as toagain relax their vigilance of politicalmatters, and allow this same class of political charlatans to control the affairs ofgovernment, and to again humble the nation and either destroy it altogether orcause a of the scenes ofthe "war for the Union." "Eternalvigilance is the price of liberty ;" andif the people would haveliberty they should be everon the alert The time and place tocorrect all these errors is at the primarymeetings, and no man i3 true to his govcrnment or to himself if he neglects toattend these meetings and give the po-

litical machinery of the nation the properstart. If it is started right it will bevery likely to continue right ; but if itis started wrong it will be likely to continue wrong. The primary meeting isihe only place where the people havefull control There they have the power

to say not only who shall not representthem, but who shall represent them.Their power is greater at the primarymeetings than at the ballot-bo- x ; for atthe ballot-bo- x they can only choose between the candidates, and both may bebad. At the primary meetings theyhave free choice, and none should fail toattend them. Republicans of Casscounty, remember that Saturday, the23d day of July, at 2 o'cloek p. m., isthe time designated for you to expressyour preferences on political matters ofthe State, and it is your only change fortwo years. Be on hand.
