Daily PAPERS.

There appears 10 be quite a rage for
daily papers, all of a sudden, in South
Platte Nebraska. We have before us
the "Daily Press" Nebraska City; the
daily Nemaha Journal" and "Daily
Snort" both of Brownville. To say all
the above ''are neatly printed, on clean
white paper, with new bold type, and
edited with ability and energy" would
only be using ~stereotyped phrases, which
have been used so long that they mean
nothing.

Judge Blacks Successor.

We see that Gen. bella M. HucHEs,
Of St. Josephi is being strongly urged as
Judge Blacks successor. The St. Joseph
Gazette says of him:
"The ermine could fall upon no gentle
man, whose abilities, independent position
and u~nimpeachable integrity would more
eminently fit him for tie discharge of
high judicial functions"
We have not the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with Gen. Hughes, but
from the testimony of others who have,
we have only to say, if the appointment
is to be made from outside the Territory,
We know of no one we would be better
pleased to hear of having received THAN
Gen. HUGHES.

territorial Convention.

We are informed by a resident of
Plattsmouth, and who was present on the
day of the great Territorial Convention,
held at that place on the subject of an
nexation, that there were just three dele
gates in attendance from outside of Cass
county. They were from Otoe.
Would it not be a good notion for those
who are SO fearful of Strengthening" and
"dismembering" Nebraska, to call a Ter
%ritorial Convention in order to remon-
strate against the formation of Dakotah;

braska of sufficient interest to be sustain

Sufficiently important to sustain a daily,
and private purses are entirely too short
nowadays to stand the requisite draft.
No one believes more in the advan-

of our sincerity in this matter we make
the following proposition:
1st. That our printing establishment

be had at twenty per cent. below Original
cost-and we relieved entirely from any
connection whatever with either printing
or publishing business.
I'd. We will then be one of 90 who
will give to a responsible man 500 eacf

who will give 5000 each, for the same

This thing of publishing a paper
weekly or daily, for a short time, or ever
a year, and then ~suspending, really in
jures a town rather than benefits it, be
cause it gives evidence, to those al a dis
