tried in Belleville, ILL.,, on the 4th inst, and
sentenced to one months imprisonment in
the county jail. His companions, under
eighteen years, were sentenced to one
weeks confinement in the same place.
The lightness of the punishment is said to
be in consequence of the belief that Nc
Cams death resulted more from over-ex-
element than the severity of the blows
administered. All those engaged in or
witnesses of the fight, over eighteen years
old, plead not guilty, end their cases were
continued to the next term of the court.

DON'T GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO
THE ENEMY.

Several of the Ormsby county Union
candidates are gentlemen who are
already incumbents of office. They have
each and all done their duty honestly
and efficiently. But no man ever did
perform his duty toward the public he
serves without mourning the curses OF
somebody. SO far as copperhead oppo-
sition is concerned, it is natural enough.
They are the " outs" and of course they
are savagely opposed to the Gins. y
But We would remind certain protesting
Union men who can find nothing better
to employ themselves at than in oppo-
sing some of our nominees, that they
are proving themselves false to their
party faith and, in some instances, are
violating "A pledge to support the nomi-
nees of the party regardless Of personal
preferences. We repeat that Union
mau, so self styled, who can find moth
ing better to do in this most momentous
but to give aid and comfort
to the enemy, by raising up opposition
10 nominees of the Union party, had
better go to bed, and stay there until
after the polls are closed.

HORACE GREELY A GOOD GuEssER.

Pending the recent elections, the
New York Tribune summed up the
chances in favor of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Nebraska. 1t predicts, substan-
TALLY, the esult in Ohio and Pennsyl.
vania aud fore,old that IN Indiana and
Nebraska. Enumerating certain coun-
ties of In llama b CHI borders upon the
Ohio River, it says :
Most of these counties are under Demo-
cratic rule, with election officers to match
several of them are projected into Kentucky
BY the sinuositieS of the Ohio river /; and
we expect to record large Democratic ga Tins
in them, with enormous votes at certain
polls but it will take at least 10 900 Illegal
votes to render the State doubtful . I'd we
do not believe that so many can be lot into
the boxes. We look, therefore, WIN conf
dent hope, for Republican victJry here,
as in PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio.
The population of Nebraska has largely
increased since 1866, and the vote this wear,
of course will be much heavier. The State
has been thoroughly canvaSSed bv the Re-
publicanS, and thew claim that they cannot
be beaten. The Union majority this year
in the Legislature on joint ballot was %.
We feel confident of a Union victory. Bor-
dering on such earnest Republican States as
Iowa. Kansas, and Missouri, Nebraska can
not prove untrue to the principles of Free
dom.
The good prophet of the Tribune now
foretells rousing victory for Grant in
New York and " all along the line.
His prediction will be verified and
Nevada will help to make it come
true

PARTY ABsURDITIEs.-The San Francisco

occurred at Martinez few days ago
A Republican and Democrat were dis
cussing politics in a saloon, when the Dem
ocrat offered to bet a certain amount that
Seymour would carry the State. The Re
publican replied that he had not the money
with him. but that he would bet the clothing
he htd against those worn by his Dem
0cratic friend that Grant would carry the
State-the bet was put up or shut up.
he last banter was no sooner made than ac-
cepted. and both men commenced to diSrobe
and put up, TO the infinite amusement Of
their friends. Bv agreement each enthusiast
retained his shirt, only this, and nothing
more" The Grant man borrowed an old
coat and pair of pants, but the Seymour man
was not so fortunate, and was obliged to
wend his way home in state Of nudity. Be
fore starting, the Union man remembered
that his keys were IN his pants pocket. He
was prevented from handling the wagers
already put up on account Of the chagrin felt
BY the SevmOurlte in not being able TO bOr-
row some clothing. The termination of the
whole affair was that the Union man could
not get in his house that night, and slept on
the door step, while the Democrat went
home, quite distance from the scene an paris
