To D%elinuuentS.

We get almost entirely out of patience
sometimes, when we look over our books
and see hat we have thousands of dol
lars due US that we are unable TO collect,
even. in "chips and w~hetstones We
have been willing to bear with delin-
quenis because of the excessive hard
times. and no n can charge us with be-
ing in the least oppressive in our de-
mands.
There are many who have read our
paper, and owed US for job work and ad-
vertising, for one two. and three years,
who we know could have paid US before
this, if not in money, something that
would have suited just as well, and for
which we are constantly paying out what
little cash we can get hold Of. We have
seen men, who begged us to take corn,
potatoes, wood, etc., on indebtedness,
come into town with these articles for
sale, but took good care to not come near
US, until they had sold out to some n
else. We have been lenient and patient,
and asked the same of those to whom we
are indebted just as long as we can, and
are now compelled to be pressing in our
demands we must have what is due US,
and we hope d~elinquents will no longer
delay. Don't read this over, and say,
swell, that is another newspaper dun,
and don't mean me-" aud 'let it in at
n ear and oct at the other" We have
endeavored to labor faithfully and unceas-
singly to advance your interests, in ev-
cry capacity in which we have been cal
led to act, many times at great personal
sacrifice, and we can but feel grieved
when we think you are so backward in
paying us what we have earned by "hard
licks.' It is unpleasant for US to write
such an article as this, but-we are forced
to DO so, and trust it may have the effect
to debar any more such in the future.

0. Stevenson, ESQ.

Our readers will recollect the publiea-
ton in the Advertiser some months ago,
Of a letter addressed US by o. Steven
son, Esq, of Pennsylvania, making nu-
merous inquiries in regard to-this re-
giOn of country, especially as to The mill
privileges. We have, among other mat
tiers, forgot to notice that Me s. arrived
here some weeks agowilh his family. and
has taken up his residence In this city.
He comes prepared to go into milling
business, of which he has the most thor
ough practical knowledge, He gives ev-
cry evidence that he Will prove a most
valuable acquisition TO this portion of the
far West. He has our best wishes. that
health, happiness and prosperity may be
his and his family's.

County FairS-Premiums.

Owing to the haste in getting out our
paper last week, many mistakes occurred
in publishing the Premium Lists of both
the Territorial and Nemaha County Fairs,
We, therefore, ~re7publish them to-day,
corrected.
Many disadvantageous circumstances
surround all such enterprises in the be-
ginning, and great allowances should be
made. All cannot obtain premiums, of
course. Some are to be disappointed, but
should not be discouraged. Committee
men are as liable to errsometimes in iudg-
ment as any others. They do the best
they can-more cannot be expected. We
are all prone to think u W stock or
articles better than our ~neighbors. The
old saying "eVery crow thinks their young
the blacklist, is apple able TO men as we'll
as crows.
In this county we feel hat a great
point has been reached and past; and that
hereafte1-C County Fairs will be among the
"fixed institutions. The ball has been
started, and its motion cannot be checked.
We were pleased to witness a: our fair
just what is designed to be accomplished by
such agricultural and mechanical gather
ings; viz: a disposition to excel in stock.
implements, products and manufactures:
'that noble contention or rather .emula-
ton of who a work best" III sf.H
On the first day, a farmer came in,
looked around, and exclaimed-"I can
beat that" and off he'd go and bring in
has products andstock. After the Fair
was y we heard many say to others
who had been successful in obtaining
premiums, s'You beat ne this year but
neat year I'll be after YOU" Thus all
classes become stimulated to produce the
very best they can. In this new country
where farmers are experimenting to a
great degree, with the soil and climate,
it is highly important that they should
have the benefit Of each Others expert
ence. This they obtain by meetingto-
gether annually and comparing notes,
One may have been successful in some
crop or other, the ether unsuccessful: the
latter secures the benefits of the latter's
success. And last, bat by DO means the
least, an annual social gathering of all
the people in a county is a sufficient in
centiye of itself, and well repays for all
the atrouble1ah time.& Those who par
ticipate in these fairs simply for the pdr-
pose of obtaining premiums that will
Tbay' them, are not those to sustain and
keep them up. 49, Ia .g1u

Receipts of the st. Louis Fair.

The receipts for Tickets of Admission
to the Grounds at the St. Louis Fair,
amounted to about thirty-fve thousand
dollars. An average of FIVE thousand
per day. When it IS remembered that
there were no entry fees charged on
stock or articles exhibited, and that this
amount is the proceeds of tickets alone,
the success of the exhibition becomes APP
parent. The attendance on the Grounds
was the largest on Wednesday, when it
Is estimated that 65,OCO persons were
present.

who win Get the Certificate.

We frequently hear fears expressed
that should Daily get the popular vote of
the Territory, he will be ~"euchered out
of the certificate" We entertain no such
fears. The canvassing Board are cloth
ed with limited power: have only to can
vas the vote as returned to them; have
no power to decide either upon the le-
gality or Illegally of votes cast. The
law is very clear upon this point, and the
Board two years ago, established the pre-
cedent of so acting, if we mistake not,
in the case of Ferguson and Chapman.
Aside from all this, we have too much
confidence in the integrity of the gentle
men composing the Board, to believe they
would take the responsibility of attempt
ting to thwart the expression of the peo-
pie of Nebraska.

~InfOrmaIitIes in ElectlOns.

1t is very common after elections to
hear great talk about contesting elections
because of some Slight i~nformality, eth
er in conducting the election, or in max
ing returns. So far as our observation
or experiences extends, Legislative As
semBlies IN deciding contests, generally,
only desire to arrive at a knowledge Of
the fact whether or not there was fraud
practiced, or attempted to be practiced.
Becauseof some trivial informally such as
opening the polls .. the exact hour; the
Judges and Clerks sworn in by some par
ticular officer, Sc, should not be a sutfic-
reason for ignoring the vote of a precinct
or county. We doubt very much wheth-
er IN one precinct Out of ten, elections
are conducted, and returns made IN ex-
act accordance with the letter of the law.
We take it, that the great object is to
carry out the spirit of law, and secure an
honest expression of the will of the peo-
pie. We never could consent to serve a
constituency in any capacity, knowing
that an expression had been given by our
fellow-citizens adverse to our doing so,
and are at loss to know how Others can.
