For instance, Pawnee county depends
principally for its mail facilitIes on points
in Kansas, and gets only a weekly mail
from any point on the river in Nebraska.
Johnson county gets only a weekly mail +;
while Gage county, being in this Land

it may not be out of place for me to give a state

and ability, with the view that truth, immutible
truth, will triumph"
On the 18th of January last the psll books bsf
ing all in from the different precincts, the last be-
ing returned on that day about IL o'clock, NJ, the
clerk procured the services of Mesurs Anthony P.
CogsWeII and Jonas Hacker to assist him in can
wasting the vote. Before entering upon their du-
ties as such canYassers, and before any Of the poll
books we're unsesled and opened, the County clerk
swore Mr. Hacker and Mr. CogsWell to faithfully
and impartially cauvasses said vote. And before
any of the POLL books vera unsesled and opened
the canvassers agreed upon the plan or rule upon
which the canvass of the vote ahould be made
which plan or rule WAS as follows, viz that all
registered votes should be counted as legal, and
that all unregistered votes should be counted asil-
legal, and thrown out, and that the number of IN
registered votes Of a precinct should be taken from
the total vote, as per poll book, Of that precinoti in
proportion to the whole number Of votes cast for
bonds and tax. The canvassers then proceeded to
open the poll books and to count the vote as it ap-
peared thereon in the following order, to-Wit

Republicans OF Nemaha County.

hepuDlicdHS Oh NcW8A8 COUWtts
We print elsewhere the call for a
meeting of the Republican Central Com
millee Of this county. As Republicans,
and as true Union men, il is our duty at
no distant day, at the call Of the Central
Committee, 10 meet in council 10 transact
business for the good of the party, the
country, and for our individual good. We
may differ upon some minor issues Of
local public improvements, but upon the
great and all-absorbing national issues
before the country, there is a unity of
interest and cordial feeling Of good will.
This is a strongly Republican county,
whose majority is more than twice that
of any other county in the State, and in
order that our Republican strength may
be available, and its power felt as q real
force in the State and acknowledged by
those in power as entitled TO some re-
spect, we must be ardent, jealous and
united in our action. The Presidential
campaign is now before Us, inaugurated
by the political and dry.goOds politicians
in advance Of the action Of the people.
The slight successes Of the Democracy
during the past year give them new
courage and zeal, and afford them
grounds to proclaim the great reaction
IN the public mind which they have so
long predicted and worked to accom-
plish. By a persistent and constant
effort to magnify the advantages they
have thus attained, and BY a~ttributing
their success to a change Of sentiment
by the masses on political topics, they
hope to convince those whose platform
and rule of action is success, not princi-
pie, that the great masses of the people
Of the country are with them.
To avoid this result, every true lover Of
his country has constant and laborious
work before him. The political issues
before the country for our decision are
mOmentuous. The cause for which we
battle demands our best, our individual
attentions; jealOusies, chickering's and
envious feelings must be sunk deep out of
sight and Out Of thought, for The good Of
the nation and for the triumph of the
immulable principles of right and justice.
As TO men or principles, there will be
but two sides, and all must espouss the
D or the other. The two great con.
trolling powers Of the nation are the
Union and the DisuniOn elements. All
others must come to the standard of the
one or the other, or throw away their
strength on men and platforms having
not the slighlesthope Of success. There
are all shades Of political opinions, from
the extreme rebel Of The Disunion
force, 10 the rsbid abolitionist of the
Union standard, and every point Of the

edings as made by the canvassers.
Precinct Reg. VIE NoaReg ForT'x Ag'st

Now take any given precinct, the total number
Of votes pOlIed, the registed votes, and the nOn-reg-
istered votes calculated in proportion, viii enable
you to see the plan on which the canvassers arrived
at their conclusions.
1 win state that St. Deroin precinct did not re-
turn any registered list, and that Glen Rock did
not return its registered list until after the cleo
ton, and that the conVasseEs cognised and used
the list returned for the October election as the
nearest they could come to legally registered lists
from those two precincts-the registry law requir-
ring the officers Of registration to deposit with the
county clerk the books Of registration on or before
the dag Of election.
The foregoing is a fair statement Of al that th,
oanvassers did in the matter under consideration.
1 viii remark that the charge made upon the can
vassers. in the resolutions from Glen Rock, that ain
order to override a majority vote, in rejecting legal
votes cast in this and other townships, ami count
ing illegal rotes given in BrotCnviHe," 10 untrue,
unkind, ungenerous. If Registrars registered IL
legal votes, such Registrars are responsible and
should be punished in the severest manner provid-
ed by law. The canvassers could only take the
registers as returned, snd could not know wheth-
er Registrars had or had not done their duty in
that respect.
The canvass Of the vote was made impartiaUy
upon the basis as hereinbefore set forth-tho plan
adopted by the canvassers may have been wrong.
If 50, Of course the conclusion is wrong. Wheth-
er wrong or not / will not presume to say--my aim
being to state all the facts connected with the
canvassing Of the vote, for the information of the
people.
As to the course Of Commissioner Holmes, I do
not endorse it, but do endorse the s%everest
resolutions that | have seen condemning him, and
tie people have cause for feeling indignant to-
ward him. GEO. W. FAIRBaOTHER.

The above table shows the result ss it appeared,
from the poll books, and would have been the &C
cepted result had the nOn-registered vote not been
set aside.
The Canvassers then proceeded to compare the
poll books with the registered lists Of voters asre-
turned to the Clerks Office previous to the day Of
election, and each and every name found on any Of
the poll books and not found on the registered list
was taken from the total vote Of the precinct,
where it was cast, and in proportion, as hereinbe-
fore stated, to the vote for and against Bonds and
tax. The following table shows the result Of said
proceedings as made by the csuvassers.
