EDITOR ADVERTISER THE NenIa-
ha County Teachers Association met
in the Highs School building at Brown
vile on the evening of the 10th inst.
The large room in the building was
well filled with an intelligent audience
to listen to the lecture OfPrOf. McKen-
zieUpen Geography. 1t was an inter
esting discourse.
On the nth the business of the. AS
ISOLATION was transacted; Isaac Black
was elected President and the other
offices were properly filled by election.
There were many of the best teachers
of the county present, and we are
sorry to say that many were absent.
Teachers institutes are acknowledged
by all to be great aids to the true
teacher. still many who grant this to
be true, will not spare the time to at
tend our meetings. They will find in
due season that this time they with
hold will cost them dearly, for the
teachers who show that they do not
let an opportunity slip by for improve
ment without reaping the benefit of
all If offers, are already commanding
from five to ten dollars a month more
than these "cant spare the time" sort,
who teach for want of others to take
their place The addage that the
"early bird catches the wOrm,n holds
good with teachers as well as in other
departments Of labor.
Twill furnish yeu with the minutes
of the Association for publication next
week. +. NJ. WILLIAMS.

The Democrats Washington specia.
says a new source of grief and tribula.
ton to the Democratic party in this
district, has come in the breaking up o.
their soldiers and sailors organiza-
ton. This occurred last evening, when
Col. O'Berne their President, came
out in a strong speech for Grant and
COlfaX, whichit is limited was inspired
from the White House, and which re-
ceived the hearty Endorsement OF
several members of the club.
O'BerDe is the Register .Of Wills
here, II of the Presidents most init
mate friends; aleader of the c~onserva-
tive movements in and about Wash
ington, and one of the most prominent
Fenians i'm the country.
The President has agreed to let the
recent order concerning elections in
the unreconstructed States drop en-
tirely, as he feels confident that Grant
will be elected.
Gen. Blair arrived here this noon
and freely declares to his friends that
he has written a letter to the effect
that he is ready to withdraw from the
field at any moment it is thought by
the National Executive Committee, or
party leaders, that the success of the
party will be assured thereby; on the
other hand, it is positively stated, by
several of Gen. Blair's friends that he
has already resigned, and that his let
ter has been in the hands of his father
or the Democratic National EXecu-
tive COMMITTEES f0F a week past.

NEW YORK, OcC. 10.
The World editorially says, that the
Democratic party evidently has been
injured by aspersiOns cast upon it
through the indiscreet letter of Blair
to Br0adhead, which has been success
fully used by the Republicans. 1t
SAYS it is simple justice that the party
should be cleared Of these aspersions,
and says the party, as a body, has no
other means of clearing itself Of this
injurious imputation than by futile
contradictions in its public journals,
but there are individuals who a eX-
tinguish this calumny in a moment
and silence it forever, and this must
be done if we are to win this elsctiOn.
This is a time for plain talk and we
hope we have spoken intelligibly
enough for those whom it most con-
Germs, to take our meaning.
The Herald says it has been decided
to withdraw Seymour and Blair and
the nominations to be given to Chase
and John Quincy Adams. Belmont
and other members of tbs National
Democratic committee meet Seymour
at Utica to-day.
All the Washington specials this
morning state that a movement is on
foot to withdraw Seymour and Blair
and place Chase and Adams or Frank
lin in nomination by the Democrats.
The Commercial says it is reported
to-day that Seymour sent a letter of
declinatiOn to Belmont.
The Democrat says Gov. Seymour
has written a letter placing himself in
the hands of q National Committee.

Railroad mp the West Bank Of
the Missouri.

There has been a general expression
of the people in the counties in Ne
braska borderfngo on the Missouri River
in favor of the contemplated Railroad
from Atchison, Kansas, to Omaha,
Nebraska; and there is no doubt but
that if a responsible ard thorough
company should take holdof the mat
ter, they could get much material aid
from the counties and citizens Of the
State, All feel the importance of the
road, and are fully aware of the i'm
mense benefit q good railroad connec-
ton with St. Louis would he TO us on
the river. We hope this matter will
not be allowed to rest until the inter-
est which is now awakened is drawn
towards other roads that e to
promise earlier relief.
The people of the river counties are
determined to have a railroad. IF St.
Louis will not second their efforts for
the road they want, they will accept
the proffered aid of the next best road
which proposes to reach theiFinterests.
Then it may be too late for the river
road when the counties and the State
hayeexhsusted their means i'm a road
of secondary Importance merely be-
cause she was first in the field.
If st. Louis thinks our trade worth
contending for, now is the time to
reach for it. when we are not only will
ling but able to assist in making the
reaching easier. We shan watch this
enterprise to see whether it means
business or merely a desiref for business
without the disposition to make what
they want practicable. The people in
this section are uneasy, The innu-
nerable cribs of corn, stacks of wheat,
droves of cattle, and pens of hogs,
sheep, etc., are uneasy for a sure and
early market. Rests out of the ques-
ton. Who, which or what is first
to propose practical relief?
