Nebraska.

Nebrasks falls inUo the line of solid
Union States. The permauency OF
the party ascendancy is now secured.
Our victory this fall has been more
brilliantthan our XpectatiOns, Omaha
the Philadelphia of Nebraska-goes
Republican as well a the State, and
the vote is decisive.
Two thousand four hundred miro :
ity in a poll of eighteen OF twenty
thousand scattered over a territory
nearly twice as large as Pennsylvania
is itself almost annihilated but when
closely examined, we find that our
twenty-fOur hundred total is the least
important part of the triumph, ON
majority Is gradually and efec-
tUdLy distributed all over The
State. We have the Legislature al
most unanimously. 1t is probable
that there Is not asingle Democrat in
the Senate, and not more than six of
them in the House. In the election
of attorneys of the several judicial dis
tricts the Democracy have been as I'M
fortunate as they were in the State
Senate. We have elected ''all,, the
district attorneys.
We have fairly swept the State down
to the county officers. There we find
the Democracy as badly off as theya are
in the Legislature. They have earri-
ed only FIVE counties in the State,
and those among the least pOpulous;
while every one of the leading codn-
ties has gone against them. Even
their principle strOnghOlds have been
wTeuched from them, and there is lit
erallY nothing left.
Nebraska, 1t must never be forgot
ten, is q State in which cOlOred people
vote. EQUAL and exact justice has
been dealt out to ALL by the Republi-
cans of that young State, and behold
their reward. 1t is the lesson OF the
day.
enough to add that Nebraska has q
stringent andrigid registry law. Two
wears ago her Legislature gave 1t her,
and no Supreme Court was found out
there to declare it unconstitutional.
To be sure it encounters the bitterest
oDDOsitiOn of the Democracy, but that
Is considered in that plain-spOkenrre-
gion one of its ehiefest recommends
tons.
Nebraska, bordering on the far-ofF
Territories, and connected, through
the Union Pacific Railroad, directly
with the fearful cities of the Plains,
peopled by roughs and d~esperadoes of
every grade and kind, was peculiarly
exposed to fraudand violence. They
could easily come in by bands and
overawe the honest citizens, and in a
country where mel openly carry re-
voIvers strapped around their waists,
and long knives in their boots, with
out at all offending against the fash
ion, it was not to be wondered at If yo-
ting was at times a rough and risky
matter. As it was, however, the reg
istry law effectively prevented all
fraudulent voting, ballOt-bQx stuthng,
and violence, and election day life
was safer and law more sacred in
Omaha than Philadelphia.-EOrney's

He said there is q trinity of princi-

was another reason why this young

Each School District levies its own
tax for School purposes, which tax is
placed upon the tax duplicate and is
collected with tho other taxes, and so
much Of said tax-levied upon each
district and collected from the tax
payers Of such districts payable to
School purposes in said district; less
one per cent for collection. Thus
each district levies its own tax and
appOrtiOns it by the promptness Of its
own tax payers. AS soon as our old
County Clerk finishes up his state

rhe SOut,lern vote.

We feel at liberty 20 .ly now what
/ policy heretofore has forbidden, and
that is, that we shall be mos ~agreeably
disappointed If the Republicans carry
any other Southern States than
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Flor
ida. We may possibly carry Alabama,
but we regard that extremely Doubt
full. All know that the Democrats
had it in their power, by their system
of intimidation, violence and fraud, TO
carry these other StaUes and we know
they were wicked enough to doit. The
election in the South has not been the
expression of the free and untrammel-
led popular will. We shall take Occa-
sion hereafter to explain in detan
all these matters, and to expose the
murderous infamy of the southern
Democratic party OF one thing we
are assured, however, and that Is, that
Grant will receive as many electorIal
votes in the South as Seymour does IN
the North.
The election ofGrant settle finally,
we hape, some very important prIncl-
pies. 1t is an endorsement by the
American people of the general policy
of reconstruction in the South. 1t Isl
plain declaration TO the persistent 70,
cession element, that this policy VIII

ton to carry it out, and the more con-

can only result in making its terms
the harsher. We should think that
the so-caIIed Democratic chivalry of
the South have learned by this time
that they cannot bully the American
people. The best and the % lest way
for our section to get along now, is to
drop all political %animOsisy, get in 2
good humOr, cease all prescription for
opinions sake, and our word for il,
the members of the Republican party
in the South will actively strive TO in
