It is noticeable that nearly all the competi-
tors are females. Many other certificates were
received from those who have committed less
than three thousand passages, yet including
the whole of the four gospels.
We record these facts as remarkable instan-
ces OF the power OF application and memory,
though we feel constrained to express our
doubts of the wisdom and propriety of thus
stimulating the young ttor most of those who
have competed for the prize are probably
young) to such inordinate tasks. Many OF
those who were competitors were probably
school children who had their regular daily
studies. The strain upon the mind and body
resulting from such intense application and SO
unreasonable an exercise of the memory, must
have been seriously injurious in many cases.

At a public meeting held in honor Of
the triumph of S. G. Daily our delegate

ment patronage, and official influence. cor
ruptiOn and fraud, Doctor R. PeeFy was
elected Chairman of the meeting, and
Doctor J. F. Neal Secretary. The Chair
man addressed the meeting, explaining
its object thought it was proper that a
spontaneous expression of the friends and
fellow townsmen of the Hon. S. G. Dali
ly should declare to their fellow citizens
of this Territory, their appreciation of the
ability and indOmitable energy displayed
by our delegate in vindication Of the re.
publican cause, and the sacred rights Of
our citizens.
The meeting was addressed by Col. ].
D. N. Thompson, and Mr.. VIM. Pollock.

Three hearty cheers were then given

ham Lincoln.
The chair, upon motion, appointed Neal,
Baker, and Gillespie, a committee to draft
resolutions, who reported the following,
which were adopted unanimously:
Resolued, That we congratulate our fell
low townsman, the Hon. S. G. Daily. in
bis success in obtaining his seat IN Con-
gress, as delegate from the Territory of
Nebraska.
ResolUed, That we recognize in the
success of the Hon. S. g. Daily, anolh-
er triumph of freedom over wrong aud
political corruption; and a rebuke to po-
litical tricksters and corrupt politicians.
who resort to ballot stufing, and whole
sale fraud 70 retain power.
RESOLVED, That S. G. Daily, by his abil-
iIy and untiring energy in this contest
with the mInions of power, and exposing
TO the public gaze, the frauds, and cor
ruptions perpetrated at the election of last
fall by the Democratic Party. and sus-
tanned and endorsed by Government Of
icials and democratic leaders, has more
firmly rivited the affections and conf
dence of the people, and has recommen-
ded himself to the favorable ~considera-
ton of the Republican Party, for ~re-elec-
ton.
ResolUed, That the Nebraska Herald
and the Nebraska .AdUertiser be reques-
ted to publish the proceedings of this

BRowNvILLE, May 2Stl

"Brownville," in his last, starts off with
"Hurrah for Daily! Such was the shout
that struck the ears of our long faced
gentry"
And a few weeks since, he made some
happily conceived remarks about the 'IOng
faced Democracy of Brownville - which
seemed to evince some satisfaction at the
prospect of company for, If their faces
grew "lOng" enough, they would, ereIOng,
be with that class of which he forms such
an ornament, and ioinhm in that sonorous
bray, for Daily, Lincoln, Hamlin, Seward
and, perhaps, Gerrett Smith, John Brown,
Copeland, & Co. / think l can assure
him that he is congratulating himself a
little too soon; if their faces" have be-
come long-which I am not aware Of
his letters would have the effect of de-
stroying what he appears so anxiousEy
waiting for, and of course delay his an.
ticipated Joy of calling them brethren
in the bonds of the "irrepresslbTe conflict
Here is another "swype" at the "long
faced Democracy :" q?
"Hurrah for Daily! They say we are
i'd fools , well, perhaps IRE are !"
An "honest admission is good TO the
SOUL" Of course this adage does not
apply to 'BrownviIle, for he has writ
for the Herald! He, then states what
the papers here, the "lrrepr essibles" at
Chicago and the "Shams'' elsewhere
have done: and says:
"But wo!!" ESQ say ID "to the poor
unlucky dog that happens 10 be lying or
standing on the sidewalk as these ILL
natured Shams pass along. he is almost
sure to get kicked into the middle Of the
street."
Poor unlucky," : lying" : dog y yea,
pity the sorrows of a 'poor unlucky,"
'lying" "dog;" probably a good dog, too,
who knows but what he would "fetch''
and carry" Hope he speaks not from
experience. Il would be reprehensible
conduct, even in the "Shams, , to 90 round
"kickmg'' "poor unlucky" 'lying dogs"
that might be dying round lovse"-"of

Home Again.

After a trip Of four weeks east, We are
again at our post, feeling quite refreshed
by reason of a brief recess from three
years close con6nement to business. We
hare visited portions of the old States to
which, before, we were a stranger, and
Of course, found much to interest US. We
are not disposed, however, 10 make an ex-
hibitiOn of Eerdancy, by obtruding upon
our readers the minutia of all the sights
we sSw." Suffice il 10 say, the trip was
not only agreeable to ourself, but we truss.
instructive. We found no place we thought
preferable in any respect, to cast our lot
than in Nebraska, to whose interests we
shall renewedly, devote ourself.
We acknowledge ourself under obliga.
tions to DIR. A. S. HoLLADAY, for the
very able and satisfactory style in which
be conducted the editorial columns of the
advertiser during our absence. 1t is un.
necessary for US to say he wields a ready.

After composing the above dogmatical
sentence, he has the hardihood to charge
an article in the Advertiser with 'des-
playing bad taste and worse sense" How
cool! What an enormous amount Of
brass he must have Well, if l am moi
misinfOrmed, it may Be seen growing Oui
on him, and it should not, therefore, be

the Herald his organ, a few rather selsl

Steamer Omaha.

During our visit east it was our extra
ordinary good fortune to make a round
trip between this place and St. Joseph on
the Steamer Omaha, one of the Hannf-
bal and St. Joseph r. R. Packets. The
Omaha has Away enjoyed an enviable
reputation in the upper country, and al
though an entire change of officers was
made at the opening of navigation last
Spring, this most excellent boat lost not,
but rather gained, by the change.
Captain SALTMARsH is one of those
steady, attentive, agreeable driving com
manders rarely mel with. His thorough
knowledge of the business in which he
is engaged, together with a determine
ton not to be headed off by any oppo-
%sition, renders him an invaluable en-
ployee of the company. His place would
be difficult to fill.
To. w. /. HATCHER, the c~urteous bur
unostentatious Clerk, and his efficient as
slstant, j, D. MAIN, we are particularly
indebted for every effort made, and where.
by our trip was rendered pleasant and
agreeable. In fact their attentions to. al
aboard were unremitting. In The Office,
or socially. Mr.. Hatcher has few if any
equals and no s~uperiors. On shore Mr..
Malin is superior in activity, accuracy
and gentlemanly department in receiving
and discharging freights; essential requi-
sites, surely.
In short everything about the boat is
in good order. and no pains spared to
make passengers comfortable, and render
their %sOjourn pleasant and agreeable in
every respect.
We must not forget CHARLEY AVIS
who administers to the spiritual wants of
those who smile. Charley compounds a

Gently enjoyed a trip over the Ohio and
Baltimore Railroad, as guests of the COM
pany. Of course the proper acknowledge
ment of such a rare favor is due from US.
The excursion was gotten up by w. P.
SMITH, Esq, Master of Transportation,
and who continued with the party from
the commencement of the trip to its ter
mination, and whose every momen was
devoted to the comfort and pleasure of
his guests. The trip has been a great
success; not an incident occurring to mar
in the slightest, the pleasure of the visitors.
The arrangements we're ample and per-
feet, and the greatest caution taken all
along the line to prevent accidents of any
kind. Tickets were issued to W thou
sand one hundred different newspapers of
the west, northwest, south and southwest,
good from the 18th of April to the 18th
of June.
We know of no better way of giving
readers-who have not enjoyed the good
fortune to pass over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway-an idea of its extent,
magni6cence and mountain scenery thro'
which it passes, than to insert the
following beautiful article, upon this grear

Great Desert which is one hundred and
fifty miles wide, without a stick of tim
Der. They have to wade the Platte Rlv-

little ice or snow running down il. They
have got through the wood business, and
are sitting around the camp fires, with
their lips hanging down some cursing
the country ; and others the trip. Bob.

plains more than any one else.
We came across Chef Langdon. at Cot
tonwood. He started across the plains
with a couple of Georgians, and travelled
up to this place. where they had a dis
agreement. and he stopped with Charley
Mcdonald Of Richardson. We took him
in and he is now travelling with our wag-
on. Well, | have bored you longer than
l expected to when I sat down to write,
