In 1867 we had no ticket running in the
great county of Monmouth, whose total vote
therefore, is counted as a majority against us
We lost Burlington by over 600 majority; we
shall carry it for Grant by at least 1000.
Warren county gave 1000 majority against
us; we don't believe she will give any msjo-
rity at all against John ]. Blair for Governor.
Mr.. Blair is at home there; the people know
him, and are sure that, though he is self
made, very few men have been better made
The sham Democracy must poll over 200
votes to carry New Jersey next November
and that is more than one piece for their
legal voters. In short, we believe New Jersey
will be carried for Grant aud Colfax as she
was carried for Harry Clay in IA, that is by
the hardest work on the part of all her Repub-
licans. We know her pretty thoroughly, aud
trust her to astonish the Copperheads as she
did in 1865. Her soldiers know their friends
as well as Seymour knew his in our Park
in 1868.
Here in New York we have a hard fight
before us, but we know how to make it. We
have taken the measure of Mr.. Horatio Sey-
mour, twice putting him out Of the Governors
chair when he had all its power and patronage
at his disposal; and we shall beat him now.
Here is the aggregate vote of our State at

Cass County,

The Hon. T. M. Marquette, of Platts-
mouth, Cass county, visited this city the
present week for the purpose Of trans
acting some legal business which had
been entrusted to his care by Lawyer
Thomas, and We improved the occasion
to ascertain what his prospects were for
a nomination for Congress. He appears
to think bis chances are good. He does
not claim any personal superiority over
Taffe, but rests bis claims wholly on Cass
county. Bat unfortunately Cass county
is hopelessiY Republican, and is likely 10
remain so; and the policy has been and
is, TO throw all patronage into counties
that are hopelessly Democratic. For this
reason we were induced to the belief
that Mr.. Marquette and Cass county
we're reckoning without their host.
Cass cOuRty is the only county on the
river but what has something from either
the State or General Government. The
other counties have more or less as they
are more or less Democratic. Now,
this may be good policy, but we are no;
so convinced. and until we are we hope
we may be excused in our opposition tc
it. The interest Of our county, its raj
road enterprises, lis growth, influence
and prosperity. as well as those of Cas-
and every other Republican county are
compromised BY such a policy, and j
must be changed. These counties are
expected TO roll up large Republican
msjorities at every election, and then are
mildly, or more or less sternly rebukeC
if they don't forever after keep quiet and
hold their peace. Are such things to b
endured Z If they are, we pray for more
meekness than we now have any knowl.
edge of possessing.

II is made the duty Of the County Treas
urer to add ten per cent. 10 the amount
Of all unpaid taxes on the 6rst day of
May Of each year, which shall be col.

also made the duty Of the County Treas
urer to appoint collectors after the first
dayYOf MaySand to make. out TAX lists of
each precinct and deliver to those cOllec-
tors By the FIRST day in June in each
year. Il is also the duty Of the County
Treasurer 10 add Eve per cent. more to
the delinquent taxes as he makes Out
she precinct list, TO pay the precinct col.
lector for his trouble. Now this list,
when made out, is ell drawing ten pei
cent. interest per annum. Besides, it il
the duty Of the precinct collectors to use
these tax lists as a kind of execution, BY
virtue Of which to levy and sell persona
properly for the payment of laxes. and
the person who permits his property to
be sold must pay the collector such fees
as are allowed cOnstsbles for similar ser
vice. ssiais1 Elsa i
Taking all these things into consider
asiou, would it Dot be well to settle you
taxes before he first of May, for ate
sthas time you must settle Them with h
precinct collectors. A word to the wis.

JeferSOn County.

This county is south Of Saline and
west Of Gage, and comprises all Of what
once was Jones county. f is watered
by the Little Blue and its tributaries.
Settlers are lining the streams by hun
dreds. They go out on the AtChisOn and
Pixies Peak Rail Road to WaterviEle
nov its western terminus, and then.over
land twenty-five miles further to Jenkins
mill, in Jefferson county. From this
point they pass up the Little Blue, or the
various streams branching off from the
river.
AT Jenkins mill is a large settlement.
MI. Jenkins is the post master, and
owns the saw mill and a store. He con.
templates adding a grist mill and a wool

this place a stock of goods, and open up

The valleys of the Blue and the small
Ter streams are exceedingly rich and fer.
tile, and many good farms are under
good cultivation, and many more are
being rapidly surrounded, squatted upon,
hOmesteaded or pre,empted by actual
settlers. 1t will be but a few years be-

PaWDee CITY,

A short time since we made our sec.
Dad visit to this growing place, and while
there noted some facts which we will lay
before our readers for their considera-
ton.
We took a seal with Governor Butler
in his carriage, and were driven a few
miles south Of this place to a farm where
the Governor is having fed q hundred
head of cattle. He hires a man TO feed
the cattle at the rate of $40 per month,
or $50 for the winter.
This is an expense per OK of about...-....S l 50
He feeds one ton of hay per hepd...'...." 2 so
He feeds seventy bushels ofcOrn per head, at ~.
40 cts per ushsl..... % 90
His oxen averaged in the fall 1850 d at AZ
cts per SO 20
Average cost per OK in the spring........ So Is
The Governor is now offered seven and
a quarter cts. per pound for his cattle atthe
general average of 1900 pounds per
head, or Sl08,25. This is a net gain of
$40 per head, or 50, 900 on the drove.
In this statement we make no estimate
of the growth of hogs which may be
kept in a yard where such cattle are being
fed. The Governor has now about six
hundred head Of cattle on hand.
Messrs. Curtis & Peavy are feeding
one hundred and twenty head of cattle
and one hundred hogs at Pawnee City,
but l failed to get their figures. John
Brady is feeding three hundred head of
cattle a few miles to the south east of
Pawnee City and a few miles north
east of Pawnee City, in Richardson
county, J.. E, Grow and Mr.. Willheight
are also feeding over one hundred head
of cattle.
From any one of these points it is
forty miles to the river, and corn must
be hauled this distance or fed on the
farm /; and it is a noteworthy fact thai
corn sells in ibis vicinity for forty cents
per bushel, the same as at the river, and
for no other reason than the demand
thus created by stock feeders.
We wish to ask the farmers Of this
county to investigate these facts. Are
not the grain dealers making more mon
ey than the grain growers? It strikes
US that the best gulches are passed over
by the farmer-!hat they merely remove
~non.payiDg dirt, and those who follow
after reap all the advantages. Now,
this is not economy-it is not the part of
wisdom. We prefer to. see the laboring
producer reap all Tie profits of his labor
and diligence. This system of market
ing grain we are satisfied is all wrong,
and farmers should for their own protec-
ton so systematlze and economist their
labor as to hold the lions share them.
selves. We are satisfied that it can be
and ought to be done.
We hope and trust that such men as
Gov. Butler, Curtis, Peavy, Crow and
Brady are but the f~orerunners of a host
of others who are determined to make
the most Of their advantages.
