RaiIrOad Meeting.

At Railroad Meeting, held at the
Bellevue House, on Tuesday, Nov. IL, on
motion, Mr.. JAMES 5. ALLAN, was called
to the chair, aud 5. Doyce chosen secre-
lnry. The Secretary stated the object Of
the meeting, which was TO take into con-
sideration the proprie,y Of immediate steps
being taken by the citizens Of Bellevue,
in conjunction with ST. Marys, in taking
stock and making donations to the Bur-
lington and Missouri Biver Railroad.
The Secretary stated that ST. Marys had
taken Sl52, 600, stock in said road, con-
ditioncd tina, the Western Terminus of the
Road should be AT St. Marys w]hcrcupon
the meeting was addressed by Generals
Sarpy and Bowen, Messrs. Lockwood,
Strickland, Rcck If St. Marys, and Beach
Of Ohio, at some length, after which it was
Rcsohrcd, That a Committee Of three be
appointed 10 wait upon Col. THos. ii.
Brxroy. Jr., and solicit him to 20 as a
Delegate from this city to Burlington, TO
make such arrangements with said Rail
road Company, as may be of advantage
to this place.
The Chair appointed as such committee,
Messrs. Lockwood, Bowena and Strickland.
On motion the meeting, adjourned to
meet at the same place on Saturday next.
JAMES 5. ALLAN, Chairman.
s. Boyce, Secretary.
We are glad to see our citizens are
awake to their interest in this, the most
important question of interest to Bellevue.
The Railroad Meeting, the proceedings
of which we publish above, wa largely
attended by many citizens of St. Marys
and Mills County, Iowa, and was quite
enthusiastic. The citizens of this place
seemed determined, by their liberal pro-
positions, and the zeal they manifested in
the meeting, to let no opportunity slip to
secure the road, and while we might RELY
upon our natural resources as being certain
to produce a favorable result for our city,
still, we have seen at Bellevue, that some
things (not so much to our interest,) may
be done as well as others, and ii would be
well to look to this, as it it passes, and not
let the golden opportunity of our highest
and bsst interests go by. We hope to see
the meeting largely attended on Saturday.

To the Public.

Many persons come into this office
some TO make enquiries and suggestions,
and others 10 complain Of the Editor.
Now we inform all such and the "rest Of
mankind" that we are not the Editors,
but only the publishers of the Gazette.
Therefore, it would BE- well for all per-
sons who wish TO see the Editor, TO call
upon that individual, and not upon us,
Notwithstanding we are only the publish
ers Of the GaseHs, yet we hold ourselves
responsible personally to the community,
and to individuals, for all that may APP
pear in its columns.

Gen'l Bowen.

In the unanimous vote (save one) ,
which Genl Bowen received at the re-
cent election for the Council, something
is to be learned by aspirants for Office
that is, TO be sure they are right and
when thus sure, stand for the right at all
hazards, and let consequences take care
OF themselves, Last year Gen'l Bowen
received IN this precinct but nineteen roteS,
all told, and was elected as the Repre-
sentative of this locality by the large vote
at Omaha. But Notwithstanding the mea-
gre vote here, he fought for the right in
doing all in his power for the interest of
Bellevue, while another Representative
who received the almost unanimous vote
of this precinct las, fall, suffered himself
to be led off from the interests of his inn
mediate constituents, and to oppose Belle
vue. This Representative was u candi-
date for denomination this fall, but failed
TO get one rote, while Genl Bowen re-
celved all the votes of the district but one.
The contrast speaks for itself. "VYhen
found, make a note ont"

TLECTIoN-
The Result in Douglas County

In this, the Southern District of Doug
las county, the election passed off quietly.
There were two hundred and twenty
three ballots cast, being probably about
one-third of the voters in the District.
The busy season of the year, when our
settlers are preparing for cold weather,
and the fact hat there is but one voting
precinct iii the District, making it neces-
sary for some of the voters to travel from
fifteen to twenty miles, in order to deposit
their votes, is probably a sufiicien, excuse
for those who neglected to discharge the
duties, and avail themselves of the privi-
leges Of the elective franchise. The can
didates elect were supported with great
unanimity. The result shows the cleo
ton of Gen. l.. l.. BowrY to the Council,
by a unanimous vote. JAMES S. ALLAN
received 1919 votes for floating Council
man for the Southern District of Doug
las, and for the counties of Washington,
Burt and Cunning, and is elected, as we
learn, by about 40 majority.
SrLAs A. STRICKLAND, CHARLES r.
Holloway, JosEPn Dyson and Jonx
FISSEY, all good men and true, were
elected to the House of Representatives.
In the Northern District, GroRaE l..
MILLER, A. +. SALIsnuRY and S. F..
RooERs, of Omaha city, were elected to
the Council, and A. J, HaHscoM, Nj. T..
MooRE, J. SEELY, II. JOHNSON, G. ARM.
STRONG, NJ. MURruY, Il. KrMpALL, of
Omaha city, and J.. A. SrrrvBERGrR, of
Elkhorn, were elected Representatives.
JESSE Lowe and Thomas DAVIS, of
Omaha, and P%HILANDER Cook, of Belle
vue, were elected County Commissioners.
Florence, in the Northern District,
claimed the right TO have Il share of the
representatives in the Legislature, and
the candidates favored by that locality,
received, severally, about $50 votes, but
her vote was swallowed up by that of
Omaha, and she is hence left withou, a
representative in either House of the
Legislature.

DIED.

DlED.-In this city, on the morning of Nov.
18th, Mrs. JANE, wife of James S. Allan,
aged SO.
1t sometimes falls to the lot of an Editor, to
notice the departure from this life, of one who
by her many virtues, has endeared herself to
all who had the happiness ofher acquaintance.
The deceased departed this life at three O'Clock
this morning, after an illness of thirteen weeks
and five days, during which time she was a
model Of Christian resignation, and often
during her illness, gave expression to that fer
vent love for her Savior that a true follower
only could give. In her weakest moments she
would call on her Savior, as if lie was lost to
her, but on being questioned whether she would
give him up, she would exclaim, " Oh no, Oh
no, | cannot give him up,' and then she would
be more reconciled to her fate. She has left
a heart-brPken Husband and Son, who, with
the many friends that so long and ~virtuous a
life had drawn around her, will long continue
to mourn their irreparable loss.

Of Cap,. Clawson:-Lancers Ladies on
horseback President Young's, President
kimbaIrs and Lieutenant General Wells
carriages; the Bands; Captains Els
wcrth's and McArthur's companies; Citi-
gems in carriages aud on horseback. The
line Of march was scarcely taken up, be-
fore it began to be met by men, women
and children on foot, on horses, and in
wagons, %;hronging out to see and welcome
the first hand-cart companies and the
numbers rapidly increased until the living
tide lined and thronged South Temple
street.
The procession reached the Public
Square about sunset, where the LanCers,
Bands and carriages were formed in a
line facing the line of hand-carts and
after a few remarks by President Young,
accompanied by his blessing, the specta-
tors and escort retired and the companies
pitched their tents, at the end of a walk
and pull upwards of 1900 miles.
This journey has been performed with
less than the average amount of mortality
usually attending on trains; and all, though
somewhat fatigued, stepped out with alac-
rity to the last, and appeared buoyant and
cheerful. They had often travelled %
and 80 miles in a day, and would have
come through in a much shorter time, had
they not been obliged to wait upon the
slow motion Of the oxen attached to the
few wagons containing the tents and
groceries.
Much credit is due to Captain Ellsworth
for having walked the entire distance, thus
cheering and encouraging his company by
example as well as precept, and the saints
with their hand-carts aided by Captain:
Ellsworth and McArthur and their Assis.
tants, Elders Oakley, Butler, Crandal and
Leonard, and guided and sustained by the
Almighty have preached to the ungodly
a sermon louder ihan the voice of many
thunders. And thus has been successfully
accomplished a plan, devised by the wis
dom and forethought of our President, fol
rapidly gathering the poor, almost entirely
independent of the wealth so closely
boarded beyond their reach.

Pawnee tribe, which is to last through the
winter, and that the party of visitors are
to number about 500.
Now | wish to know if there are not
some means to I've resorted 10, to avoid
such a catastrophe! Are we to be annoy
ed with the presence of these people for
the next four or five months Are we
to submit tamely to the petty thefts which

lies in our midst, and | am strong in the
faith that they ought not to be permitted
TO stay here another week, for surely they
are no benefit to us, while their presence,
filthy and thievish as they are, is a source
of great annoyance both to ourselves and

here now, and give them to understand

The Presidential Election.

The Presidential Election.
We have been waiting most patiently
for something reliable as to the result Of
the Presidential election. But being so
far removed from the centre Of the politi-
cal world, from tclegraphs, railroads, &c,
we have waited almos, in vain. The
general impression seems To- be, from the
reports, that the Democratic candidates
are elected. Well, 80 be tive are sat
isfcd, %abuudantly 50, if This he rue
James Buchanan was our personal choice
for the high office Of President, first, last,
always. For in him we recognise the
honest, conservative patriot Of more than
forty gears experience in the affairs of this
government, and we sincerely believe
that under his administration, wise, polite
and efficient rs we believe it viii be, the
country will find that rcposc and quiet to
which for the last TIVE years it has been Il
stranger. and which is so essentially ne
cessary for the common good and 10 the
stability Of this glorious Union itself.
We look upon the fierce warfare Of sec
tionalism, growing out of the vexed Kan
sas question, as ended. If this be so,
God be praised. For months past, we
have been heartily sickened upon opening
every newspaper, TO see nothing but KAN
sAs, KANSAS, in flowing characters, as
though all the past, present and future of
the whole nation were dependent upon,
and centered in. that distracted Territory.
We believe the administration Of James
Buchanan will encrgetically and firmly see
to it, that the principle that the people
have a right to regulate their domestic
concerns in their own way" is eifeCtually
and honestly carried out; that 1t will pre-
vent outside influence from Missouri or
any other quarter. If it does this, we
are satisfied. If it does not, we shall be
disappointed, and as an independent Jour-
nal be as ready to condemn, for the
wrong, as we should applaud for the
right. We are not among the number of
those who believe that at any time there
has been any real danger that Kansas
would become a slave State. Northern
men and northern enterprise will settle
that question, when outside Interference
is prevented. Now we may be travelling
too fast. 1t may turn out hat Mr.. Free
mont is elected. If so, we shall be equally
ready to applaud the rigb, and condemn
the wrong, We are among the number
of those who believe the country is safe"
in any contingency. We never calculate
upon the chances of a dissolution Of the
Union and although some of our South
efn brethren, III the event of the election
Of Mr.. Fremont, might buster and threat
EN- dissolution, they, in our opinion, would
find the great mass of the people South,
as well as North, of all political creeds,
Indignantly frowning down any attempt to
this end. Any party or set of men ma
king this attempt, would receive the same
treatmen, as hat given the South Caro-
lima nullifers, in 1882, by Gen. Jackson,
and sink into the same deserved contempt.
We have our preference heretofore given.
If Mr.. Fremont is elected, as an Ameri-
can, proud of our country, and our free
institutions, we are compelled to be salts
fed.
