Poor CARJorTA We were sometime
since informed that the physicians OF the
Empress Carlotta had determined as q
last resort to remove hey to the scenes of
her early life. Though partially true,
the statement Is not exactly correct.
She was placed under the care OF new
physician who prescribed what ought to
have been the first resort instead OF the
last,-that there should be no solitary
confinement, but that everything in her
surroundings should be of the most
cheerful and aredispelling character.
Even II the old solitude system had not
been condemned by the best practition-
ers for the treatment of the insane.
common sense would seem to dictate
that this class of mental disease, ex-
treme melancholy and aversion to society
be treated in some other way than by
banishing the unfortunate patient to
closed room and adding the morbi6c in
duence of solitude to the tendency al
ready existing. 1t is to be hoped that
the malpractice (Which she has already
been subjected may not prove 10 have
been too long continued.

b Election,

The Official vote Of Nemaha county
will be found in to-day's issue. It shows
the election Of a set of officials who
will doubtless give satisfaction in the
management of their respective duties;
at least time only can demonstrate other

integrity and business capacity. IRE
spectve Of political a%ntecedents they
have our best wishes, and will receive

ers the welfare Of the people.
That matters were considerably mixed
no one can doubt upon a perusal of the
table Of returns. Four tickets were IN
field. The Republican Convention tick
ct received FIVE of the officers the Dem
ocratic ticket two, by majOrities of two
and twelve ; the Independent Republican
ticket one. Taking the vote on Clerk,
politically, and it stands thus Hacker
and Hoover, Republicans, SIS Lett,
Democrat, 272; Republican majority
243! This is bus an average. and a fair
test. 227 was Buffers majority for
Governor June, '66; showing an in
crease TO this time of i6, Nth barely one
half of the registered vOterS out The
ratio of increase would have been much
greater with a full vote, as the Demo.
crazy, knowing that their only hope lay
in getting out their whole vote, polled
within 40 votes their full strength of a
year ago.
AS has been said, perhaps, a thousand
times since the recent State elections, the
great strength of he Republican party
has been a weakness, by engendering
an ~overweening confidence in lis leaders
that hey could carry most anything. In
the States, as here, side issues and local
matters have been loaded on until "the
hair that broke the Cancels back" has
almost been reached. We must learn
one of two things: to let side issues alone
and local strife ; or hold no Conventions
when the National principles of the party
are not involved. Had ether of these
been pursued no division would have
occurred either here or in the States, and
the party would have been ~justras firm
for the election Of '6S!
As 1t is we have no fear but that the
Republicans of Nemaha will present a
more solid front IN '68, than ever before.

The Next National Republican
Convention.

1t is announced from Washington that
the National Executive Committee of
the Republican party have definitely de-
cided in favor of holding the next Ma
tional Republican Convention in the
city of Chicago. No decision has been
reached in regard to the time of holding
the Convention, and the settlement of
this question will probably be postponed
for some months. In selecting as the
place of holding the National Conven.

publican President was nominated and

date, the Committee have paid a Just
compliment to the State which gave
Abraham Lincoln to the nation, and to
the Northwest which rallied with such
enthusiasm TO the defense of the Gov
eminent when il was assaulted by traitors.
The selection Is at once a recognition of
the hospitable spirit which has ever
characterized the citizens of Chicago in
reception Of immense masses of people
gathered together in their midst, and Of
the power of the Northwest In the Union
and an omen of future victory.

reViying the true doctrine that freedom
was rational and slavery sectional. Thus,
I saw that the Democratic party has
shown itself by its record unit TO be
charged with the administration OF pub
lie affairs. The Republican party, by
its record on the slavery question, by It's
record on the side Of the war IS the par
" TO be intrusied with the adminisira-

Closing Exercises Of the Brown

c. B. MCKENZIE.

The closing examination Of the fall
term of our School came off Monday
last, and justice TO both, feather and
pupil require that an especial public no
tee should be made of the manner in
which they acquitted themselves. 1t is
to be regretted that a more general at
tendance of the parents could not have
been secured, but enough however were
present TO show that business and poll
tics have not entirely absorbed the pub
lie attention.
To those understanding the difficult
ties with which this term of the School
were encountered at the beginning, we
are sure that the result Of the examina-
lion must have been gratifying. Pro.
fessor Mckenzie has shown that he pos.
sesses the essential qualities of a success
full teacher, in a high degree, especially
in his ability to organize, arrange and
systematic a large school. In this re-
spect, his tact for bringing order out of
chaos has been well tested, by the man.
ner in which the school machinery was
put in order and kept in order during the
term just closed. AS an instructor, Pro-
fessor Mckenzie has but few equals
His power and tact of leading the minds
of his pupils to clear perception of prin-
cIples by the processes of induction and
deduction, and then by a close analysis
of facts thus arrived at was well illus.
trated in his examinations, especially in
his Geography class. The Professor is
about to take charge of the State Nor
NAL School, shortly to open at Peru, in
this county, and we think it not saying
too much, when we affirm that a better
selection for that position could not have
been made.
