The Nebraska people, in their Convention n I'm
coin, yesterday, passed some very pointed rcson-
tions concerning the Omaha Bridge controversy
They claim that the law and the contracts Of tie
Union Pacific Railroad Company fix the terminus at
Omaha. This muddle is made still more confused
by the publication Of an explanatory note which il
is alleged President Lincoln attached to his procla.
nation fixing the terminus at point on the west
ern boundary of Iowa. That note is as follows:
Il deem it proper to add that on the 18th day q
November last an executive order was made upon
the subject and delivered to the President Of tho
Union Pacific Railroad, which fixed the point on tho
western boundary Of the State Of Iowa. from which
the Company would construct their branch railroad,
to the l00b degree Of longitude and declare il to 80
within the limits of the township an Iowa opposite
the City of Omaha, in Nebraska.

The Athanasian creed continues to cause trouble
in England and the ConvOcatlons are discussing the
"propriety" perhaps We might say the necessity, of
throwing it overheard. With regard to the damna-
tory clauses, the Archbishop of Canterbury is re-
room who believes in them" "Ahw replied his
Loriship of Peterborough that is why I want
to get rid of them" Upon this Tie Spectator,
after the inconvenient manner of secular journals,
is shocked that Bishops, in the presence of
Almighty God and before the assembled con-
gregations, should utter words of such profoundly
solemn import, without feeling and believing them,
rs the following: (Which faith. except every one
do keep whole and undeiled, without doubt he shall
perish everlastingy" 1t is characteristic and
always has been, of o majority of ecclesiastical Or
carnations, to exaggerae professions of faith and
this for two reasons In the first place, most earnest
men have dread of believing too little. Then, too
no priestly oversight whatever can prevent the IN
dividual from privately modifying the publicly used
letter. Again, more than moety of men and women
take their crcedupOn trust being either through laz
ness or natural ineciency incapable of thinking at
all. Then, in respect Of the damnatory clauses of
creeds il must be admitted that man who is self
sure of being saved sometimes takes kind of awful
pleasure in thinking that his neighbor, who does not
agree with him, will be damned. lie believes THIS
and he does not believe it. Quoad his theological
side he is sure of the damDat0n, and quoad MS
human and natural side, he has his doubts. 10 DO
sure he never arranges this destruction accurately
in his mind because, if he should do this honestly
and vigorously he woud discard one phase of his

not understand what foundation there is for
its amazing popularity. The explanation is
simple enough. The reputation of the world
renowned tonic Is founded upon rock, the
Rock of Experience. All its ingredients are
pure and wholesome. How, then, could trick
sters and cheats expect to rival it with COM
pounds of cheap drugs and refuse liquor, or
with h4uor Hess trash in a state of acetous fer
mentation? Of course the charlatans have
come to grief Their little game has failed.
Their contempt for the sagacity Of the COM

eventually superseding every other medicinal

The labor OF harvest will be complet-
ed this week. As the citizens of our
towns are anxious to know what the
prospects are, would say that many
fields of wheat here were not worth har-
vesting, while Others, yielded a fair
crop, perhaps the total yield will not
exceed three bushels per acre. The
oats crop.is also variable; on some fields
abundant, on Others not worth harvest
ing. No Barley, and but little Rye
raised here. The crop of Hay is very
light, perhaps not more than half the
usual amount. The prospect foI. Corn
is quite Hattering. PaStUresis abundant.
The second crop of clover will be heavy.
Some of our orchards are loaded with
the fairest of apples, while Others have
a small crop of inferior fruit. Pears
will yield one-half as much as last year.
Peaches are few and far between. Mr..
John White has q setof trees loaded
with fruit. The woods are full of nuts.

Any ,one could have observed the
ayidity with which the few Greeley
Democrats, who have still some hope
of beating Grant, picked up the first
morsel of news from North Carolina
and rolled it under their tongues. But
the morsel proved to be little bitter
after all. 1t is strange that the Demo
cratic papers are so Indifferent to truth
and SO regardless of the feelings oftheir
readers as to raise their hopes so high
only to see them dashed by the later
development of the true state of affairs.
The election in North Carolina instead
of being Democratic victory with a
majority of 10000, bids fair to give the
State to the Republicans by majority
from 500 to 1900. In 1870the Democrats
carried the State by about 5000. If we
carry it now the Republican gain will
be over the whole Democratic majority
in 1870. At the farthest our gain can
not be less than 5000. 1LEH

$50 joined the club among whom were
several heretofore classed as Demo

but the movement is in such disfavor
that it is rather unpleasant for Repub-
