Letter From

FREMONT, NEBRASKA, July 20 1868.
EDIToR CHRoNIcLE.-This section Of
Nebraska is improving much more rap
idly than the most ssnguine among US
expected. Thousands of acres of prai-
RE have been broken the present sea.
son, and are in the best possible condi-
ton for small grain to be sown next
season simply by sowing it on and har-
rowing ii in.
One man has had one thousand acres
broken, for which he paid 81 20 per
acre. If it should be an ordinary sea-
son next year he will clear twenty dol
lars per a~cre--only twenty thousand
dollars for one seasons crops. Consid-
ering our markets. the ~chespness OF
land and its fertility, l think Nebrasks
offers the greatest Inducements to the
poor man Of any State in the Union,
or any country in the world.
Crops are good this season, although
many anticipated that the grasshoppers
would destroy them entirely. They
were happily disappointed in that re-
spect, as they injured but little. They
came here last fall and laid their eggs.
They Matched in the spring, and all
left about the middle of June, rising
in q northessterly direction, and not
lighting till they reached Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where they have done
considerable damage. They have been
travelling east for the last two seasons,
and they may possibly reach Ohio next
year.
Wheat will average about 20 bushels
per acre: oats so; barley 20. Harvest
ing about half done. Corn never looked
better.
There is another railroad laid out
which terminates at Fremont. The in
i~tiatory point is called or said to be at
Desoto, 20 miles north OF Omaha, on
the No. river but in reality it is only
the extension of the North Western
Railroad SO as to tap the Il. P. R. R.
at F., thereby saving 40 miles distance
in going to Chicago, instead of going
around by Omaha. They have already
commenced grading, and expect to
have it in running order by January

The nomination of an old party hack
like Seymour-of a politician who,
though q party hack, has no experience
in the administration of national af-
fairs OF in the national legislation
shows what kind of an AdministFa-
ton the Democrats desire to give the
country. 1t would bea grand time for
frowsy politicians, for party sharpers.
for the old Democratic hacks who have
been on short commons ever since the
days of Buchanan and Pierce. They
would turn up, they are already turn
ing up, hungry as savages, snd eager
for the return of the good old times
when they fattened unmolested. and
enjoyed the public plumber without
fear of detection. Seymour Is the
beau ideal of a great statesman" af-
ter the Buchanan pattern.-Ns0 York

The Hartford Post says: "Mr. Pen,

was dropped suddenly. It was the
most gradual dropping possible. 1t
was dropped sylls bic by syllable and
letter by letter. For instance-the
Escort came in early in the week with
a loud, distinct, and clearly pronounced
'Hurrsh for Pendletou.' The halls and
corridors Of the hotels, the lobbies of
Tamnany, and the bar-rooms of the
metropolis were full of it, In a night
or tWoit changed. Through the chink
of glasses the sound came, 'Rah fr

uncertain, and voices husky, and the
cry was. 'Rah fr Pen'lum.' Then col

disappear-the defiant tone grew soft.

The Fourteenth Amendment is now
a part of the Constitution of the
United States, having been ratified by
the requisite number of States to Sc
cure its adoption. The last Legislatures
of New Jersey and Ohio revoked their
assent to the amendment. But indie.
pendent of their action the amendment
has been ratified by a sufficient num-
Der OF States to place its validity as a
part of the Constitution beyond a
question-settles suffrage in the South
ern States beyond the power Of the
rebels to change it, v if they had
control of the Government. Its potent
provision is that where any portion of
the citizens of a State are denied the
right of suffrage for any cause but
crime, said citizens shall not be count
ed in the basis of representation. If,
therefore, South Carolina concludes to
to return tos white mans government
she reduces her representation from
five to two.

Ctyu war In Japan

LoEDoN, July 27.-Further adTices
from Japan to the Both of June are re-
eeivei. All the ministers of foreign
powes in Japan had united in a pro-
test gainst the issue by the &ikado
Of deirees against native Christians
Civil Far continued to rage with much
violence. The troops of the Mikado
are IN possession of the ports open to
foreigbers by the treaty. The brother
of Stss Bashi, the ex-Tycoon, vas al
the had of the revolt against the spiri-
tual enperor, and had large army un-
der hH command, with which he was
gradually advancing on Yeddo, in
which city the party Of the Tycoon is
very arong. There had been some
fighting between the hostile forces IN
the yi,inity of Yeddo, but no decisive
successes were reported on either side.
1t was Thought the val between the
two parties, whose respective strength
and resources appeared to be so evenly
balanced, would result in a division of
the country into two independent en-
Pires governed respectively by the Nj
ksdo and Tycoon.

TIE DAVIS REWARD.-The conference
report on the bill distributing the
reward of one hundred thousand
dollars offered by the government for
the capture of jefferson Davis has
been agreed upon, and the measure
will become q law substantially as
drawn up by Mr.. Washburn of Massa-
chusetts, to whom considerable credit
is due for dividing the reward in such
g way as to take this much talked
question out of Congress. Gen. James
h. Wilson of cavalry fame, Lieut.. Col.
Pritchard ofathe fourth Michigan
cavalry, Lieut.. Col. Harnden of the
first Wisconsin cavalry, and Capt.
Joyemon of the first Ohio cavalry, get
three thousand dollars each, while the
remainder of the money is divided in
proportion to the monthly pay proper
TO which they were then entitled
among the officers and men of the
fourth Michigan cavalry, first Wiseon-
sin cavalry engaged in the pursuit and
capture of Davis. One man of the
seventh Ohio cavalry, and two of the
fifth Iowa cavalry, whose names are
not known, are also included in the
distribution. The shares of soldiers
who have died 60 to their heirs, and
the whole amount of the reward is to
be paid by the treasury department
without further legislation.

The Connecticut Legislature ad.
jonrned, last Saturday, until Monday
evening. and a bill touching the cleo
ton law, on which there had been
much bitter discussion, wal deposited
in the Office of the Secretary of State.
On the resssembling of the Legislature
the E~ngrossing Committee took up the
bill, and we're astonished to find that
it had been altered in several import
ant particulars, so as to change its
sense and make it conform to the
amendments which the Democrats
had previously proposed. Acids had
been used tc erase certain words, and
in their places others were substituted.
No less than eight such alterations
were detected. For instance, the
provisions that the board for the ad-
mission Of electors should only sit in
the day time were changed, so that
the Board might sit in the evening.
This vas . point which the copper
heads had fought for IN both houses.
but il was rejected by a party vote.
The fraud was discovered before it was
too late, and both branches of the
Legislature nave akenb pfomp action
in the matter.
Ottawa, Canada, July 27.-It is esti-

the woods are still burning. Boats on

ed by smoke on the river. The dis
count on American invoices is thirty
per cent.

F- At Akron a few days ago, two

would have no form of ceremony in
which the word death occurred.

The Logic of Events.

Democrats vsinly boast of the I'M
mutability of their Tprinciples," but
tbeinszorsble 'logic Of events'' knocks
the UNDERMINING from their platforms
and throws their fhe-spun political
theories into fatal confusion. Long
the open defenders of slavery, and the
advocates Of State sovereignty, or seces-
sion, they chung with a death grip to
these delusive doctrines, even when it
was apparent TO the world that the
success Of the Union cause on the bat
tle-feld, had doomed slavery and
secession to the lowest depths of politi-
cal perdition. When the rebellion had
been crushed, and the Congressional
plan of reconstruction had been insug-
ursted, investing the black men of the
secession States with political enfran-
chisement, the Democrats endeavored
to combat the Republican plan by
raising the cry that this is a "white
mans government" and denying the
right of colored men TO participate in
its privileges. But this last wall of
pro-slavery prejudice, did not deter the
work of radical reconstruction, which
has steadily gone on in its redeeming
mission, until the l4th Amendment to
the Constitution OF the United States
has been duly ratified, and all the late
seeding States but three are in condi-
ton to re-enter the Union. And now
the Democratic party having at the
late New York Convention declared
that Slavery and Secession have been
forever settled by the voluntary action
of the South, that party has already
commenced receding from its declara-
ton that this is a "white mans gov
eminent" and is counting the black
with as much sycophancy az ever
it begged for the votes of the meanest
We congratulate the country
that the vulgar talk of Democrats
about a "nigger party" "nigger equali-
ty," &c, has had its day, inasmuch as
that party is not only growing willing,
Dut becoming anxious to secur the
of black men.
As evidence of the change going on
n the democratic party, on the ques-
ion of impartial suffrage, we copy the

paper published in Hazlehurst, Missis-
ippi. called the "Wsskly Cqpiahan.".
