FRIEND CHURCH Il notice IN a pa
per called the BrO1OnUiUe Democrat,
some structures on the " Closing EXer-
cises of the Normal School, " especially
in reference to Thomas J. Majors
speech. I wish, as Principal of that
school, to say, I must consider the
charge " of teaching political dogmas,
or PECULIAR doctrines of any denOmina-
ton in the school, unjust, as well
as ungenerous. True, Mr.. Majors
chose for his part in the closing eXer-
cises, to speak on the political Par
ties of our Country" but l cannot hold
myself or the school responsible for
what Mr. Majors said. If the Board
OF Education make a rule that no stu
dent shall be allowed to speak in pub
lie exercises on political questions, it
will then be my duty to carry it out.
But suppose l had said to Mr.. Majors,
Il cannot allow you to speak on a pO-
litical subject" what would have been
imposition before the public? Would
l not then have done what the Demo-
crdt accuses the school of doing? 1t
looks very much like it to me-. Last
winter, when some of the students
were allowed to make "secesh +"
speeches, no one found any fault then,
oh, no!
wish simply to say, that I consider
politics a subject open for discussion,
and every student is at liberty to
think what he pleases, and say what
he pleases on that subject. If he
chooses to make a speech in favor of
q" JEFF Davis" for President, he shall
have the privilege; as far as l am con-
cerned, Il have nothing to say in the
matter.
1 think, as far as the school is con-
cerned, no person who knows its in
ternal workings will dare to say that
there is anything of party, sect or creed
taught or attempted to be taught in it,
and l cannot help feeling that the
+" article" in the Democrat was in
tended to place the school in a false
position before the public.
Mr.. Majors is a public man, and is
willing to be held responsible for his
own words. We hope, therefore, the
Democrat will do us the Justice to a
that we know no distinction of sect,
party + creed, in the Normal School,
but will gladly receive any student
who comes to learn, no matter what
his views are on politics or religion,
and serve him to the best of durability.

For The Advertiser.


MR.. SLAsHER Sir, you may con-
slider yourself challenged to mortal
combat. I am insulted-the great
Democratic party is insulted A. john
son, the Great, is insulted by your IN
sulting letter published in the 4dgeT-
tiser of last week, to the effect that
that great man, Doctor Archipelago
Samson Holiday, " has no creditable
record" o, for shame! to attempt to
iniure the fair fame Of such a good
man. Is it no credit to be a minister
of the gospel-the Doctor does not
nreach now, tits true-but you know,
Slasher. there is fun on both sides ;
besides, it is right and proper thatrthe
dear people should hear both sides OF
the question. So you e that the
Doctor and I endeavOr, in u meek
and humble way, to give both sides.
We tell them one day, by snakes, to
fee from the wrath to come; the mex
dav we teIIthem that there is no wrath
coming. thereby creating q healthy
reaction can't you see it? You call
the Doctor a smut machine-sir, our
breasts heave with righteous indigna-
ton as we read the base and SANDER
Gus charge. If there is anything that
the Doctor and I utterly hate, lOathe
and despise, it is mule-niggers and
smut. Never in all the history of the
past has anything emanated from the
pure lips of the Doctor, like smut-ex-
cept on a great many OccasiOns-and
then it was done only for the sake of
the example. Mr.. Slasher, apologize
or fight. You say that the Doctor,
duringth rebellion, publisheda Union
paper, made Union speeches, and was
elected by the Radicals to the Terrific
rial Council-Of course he did; but
can't you take a joke. That was a tire
mendous joke on the RAIDS. Again,
You say, the Doctor lies about General
Grant that is the unkindest cut of
all The idea of the Doctor lying-he
don't DO it he may be a little econOmi-
cal with the truth, sometimes, but as
for lying, 1 would as soon believe that
Seymour lied when he said he would
not accept the nomination if it
was unanimously rendered to him, as
to believe that the Doctor would lie.
Beware, Slasher, or you will vex his
righteous indignation. In conclusion,
let me say that the Doctor isthe es-
sence of all that is lovely, pure, noble,
patriotic, temperate and mOral-when
he is asleep.
Yours, truly,
CLEMENT VAIIANDTGHAM.

The editor Of the Democrat, TO ex-
euse or justify his own p%erversity, is
accustomed to speak Of certain prOmi-
nent Republicans as having once been
Democrats, as though it was a re-
proach to them. It is probable that
every one so accused realizes that it is
a reproach to their good name ever to
have borne the name Of Democrat, es-
pecially since the days of LecOmpton,
DC, and more especially since the pu-
silanimoUs no-coercion doctrine OF
Buchanan and Seymour became the
principal feature of the party and
most especially since the time it
adopted the advice Of Seymour, when
upon declaring to his friend, Judge
RuggIes, "the Montgomery Constitu-
ton Of the Confederate States is a bet
Ter Constitution than thato f the United
States, " he said " why not avoid all
trouble, by ourselves adopting the
Confederate Constitution, " that is, su-
percede the Federal by the Rebel Con-
federate government, kicking Lin
coin out and making Davis, Presi-
dent;" or what to-day would be equi-
valent to kicking Grant out and SHOW
inc Seymour in: and the very quint-
essence of reprOach since tne aforesaid
has BECOME q member of that party.

WASHINGTON, July %.
The French and Turkey legations
here assert that the Cretan insurrect-
ion has been suppressed by the Turks,
and that the Congressional appeal to
the Turks was consequently unnes-
sary and uncalled for. The Turkish
Ministers is said to be very indignant
at the action of Congress in passing,
by a unanimous vote, a resolution
which, in effect, assailed a friendly
nation and encouraged its enemies.
The report tat the United States
will pay the expenses Of the Chinese
embassy while here is false. The Gel
estials foot their own bills.
Senator Wade left tonight by spec
ial train for Ohio. He goes thence TO
the Rocky Mountains.
Orders have been issued from Army
Headquarters making the following
changes in the South, to suit the new
order of things: The second and third
military districts having ceased to eX-
ist, the States of North Carolina, South

district will now consist only of the
State of Mississippi, and will continue
to be commanded by Brevet Maj. Gen.
A. G.. Gillem. The fifth district will
now consist of the State Of Texas, and
will be commanded by Brevet Maj.
Gen. J.J. RenOlds, with headquarters
at Austin, Texas. The States of Lou
isiana and Arkansas will constitute
the Department of Louisiana. Brevet
Mai. Gen. L. A. ROsseau is assigned
to the command, with headquarters at
New Orleans. Until the arrival of
Gen. Rosseau at New Orleans, Brevet
Mai. Gen. Buchanan will command
the Department. Brevet Maj~Gen.
Geo. CrOoke is assigned, according to
his brevet of Major General, to the
command of the Department of Col

lieved. Brevet Maj. Gen. E. r. S.

The Democrats of this city were bad
gering Mr.. Leach, andin the I" scufie'
he remarked that lit was a God send
to the Democratic party that the Hon.
S. G. Daily was taken out of this
world )" w~hereupon the editor of the
Democrat takes a portion of the re-
mark for his text, m%ournfully regret
ing the "pang of pain" the publica-
ton of it in the Democrat will give to
his friends. The Doctor evinces the
same feeling for MI. Daily's friends
thatthe hyena has forthe'buried dead.
There is nothing sacred from the touch
Of his unfeeling pen.

While at Nebraska city last week,
we formed the acquaintance of Hon.
J. b. Bennett, who has been in Wash
ington since January LIST, 1868, return
ing but a few days since. Mr.. Bennett
is one of the Democratic candidates
for Senator from OtOe county. He
spoke very warmly of the indefatigabie
energy of Mr.. Upton in his efforts to
serve the people of Nebraska, and es-
pecially mentioned his untiring efforts
to secure land grants for the railroads
running west from Rulo, from Brown
vile, from Nebraska city, and from a
point opposite Sioux city; that he had
done all that could be done to secure
these grants, but that it was the
settled policy of Congress not to aid
roads under the existing state of the
treasury.
Mr.. Bennett is versed in the rail-
road policy of this country, having
made the matter a study during the
year, and is, we should judge, a fair
minded gentleman.

Mr.. Jones, of Aspinwell, having
moved out of the county, on motion,
George G. Start, of Aspinwall, was
appointed in his place as a member OF
the Republican Central Committee OF
the County.
On motion, it was determined to call
a Delegate County Convention, tc
meet at the Court House, in Brown
vile, SeptemberI2 18th, 1868, att o'clock,
P. NJ, for the purpose of electing dele
gates to a Senatorial District Conven-
ton, and for the purpose of nOmina-
ting four Representatives and one
Senator.
On motion, the precincts were to be
represented in said convention, as fol-
lows:
Peru, IL votes; Lafayette, 6 votes;
Douglas, 8; Nemaha City, 5; st. De-
roin, 5, Benton, 2; Glen Rock, 5;
Washington, 2; Brownville, 20; AS
pinwall, z; Bedford, 2.
On motion, the Central Committee
do recommend that precinct cOnven-
tons be held at the usual place of
voting in each precinct, on Saturday,
the 10Th day of August, at l o'clock,
p. NJ, to elect their delegates to the
County Convention.
On motion, the secretary Of each
Grant and Colfax Club, in Nemaha
county be requested to make out and
send to the Chairman of the Central
Committee of the county, a list of all
known Republican voters in his pre-
cinct, and a list of all known Demo-
Gratis in his precinct, and a list OF all
who are doubtful, and to communi-
cate all changes of this list weekly to
said chairman.
On motion, the Central Committee
do declare that it is their firm convic-
ton that the peace, prosperity, integ-
rity, and financial credit of the county
will be bestsubserved by the election of
the Republican ticket, and the estab-
lishment of the Congressional policy,
they, therefore, do most earnestly ap-
peal to all true Republicans and lovers
of their country to be active, vigilant
and Jealous in the work for the tri-
umph of the party, on its principles of
eternal rightand universal justice, and
to this end they would, and do, most
respectfully urge immediate organiza-
ton in every precinct, and plead that
no pains be spared in bringing before
the people all facts bearing upon the
issues of the campaign.
Sometime was spent in listening to
the relation on the part of each COM
mitteeman and others of what had and
what was now being donein each pre-
cinct for the good of the cause. From
this conversation we learn that the
vote will be largely increased, one
small township would cast over fifty
additional Republican votes, and in
none would there be a falling OF from
the usual Republican majority.
On motion, the committee adjourned
to call Of President
JOHN L. CARSON, President.

The great feature in the stock mar
ket to-day, was the further break in

have sold out, to break up the present

July oath, 1868.
Senator Upton has served on the
Committees on Public Lands. Pen
sions and Agriculture. Senator
Thayer is q member of the Commit
tees on Patents, Military and Indian
Affairs, and by their industry and
irmness, made a very favorable i'm
preston upon their distinguished as
sOciates. They are regarded here as
men that could not be bought, and
this is sometimes complimentary of
even grave Senators. They are not
obtrusive in pressing their views upon
the Senate, but can, and do, when
ever they so desire, speak with pro-
priety and force upon the various sub
jeets presented for consideration.
They are Wide-awake, and sound be-
yond a pe~radventure, on the political
questions now ~agitating the country.
The Representative, Mr.. Taffe, is a
member of the important Committees
on Territories and Indian Affairs. He
has earnestly co-operated with his
colleagues in the other branch of Con-
gFess on every important measure af-
fecting the interests of the State he
has been selected to represent. In
deed, both Senators and Representa-
tive have acted as a unit. Experience
adds greatly to the efficiency of a Rep
resentative in Congress, and the first
session of the new member is scarcely
sufficient to aequaint him with the
mode as to how measures are passed
upon by Congress. Mr.. Taffe has just
acquired this important element, no
addition as to his other qualifications
as a Representative are needed, and II
would be greatly to the advantage Of
Nebraska to return him to the 41st
