Something Wrong About This.

The following announcement is in the
Washington Chronicle of the Oath. We
don't understand it. We had thought
there was nothing for Radicals to COM
plain of in the election in Mississippi
The trouble was that their opponents did
not sufficiently concern themselves about
it-much less did they give coloring for
charges of ''fraud" The horse was of
another color If the laws for the pro-
lection of the ballot box were violated;
it was done by the Radicals. We have
called attention, for example, to their
outrageous attempt at intimidation at
Stems Greek, Rankin county, where
they made night hideous by their war
like demonstrations and their murderous
and blasphemous speeches. The same
game may have been practiced at other
points. And though our people submit
ted with lamb-like meekness to these in
suits, and third of them actually staid
away from the polls from lack of interest
in the election, a "colored delegation"
visits Washington to accuse them of out
RACES. Who the mischief are Robert E.
Smith, George White and Charles
Brown? Will the Pilot enlighten us, and
will it specify the names, places and par
ticulars of the frauds which have oc-
casioned this embassy? Can our Con-
sentative friends of the press afford the
desired information?
From the Washington Chronicle.
To VISIT THE PREsIDENT.-Delegati Ons
from Mississippi and Arkansas are in the
city to visit the President to protest against
frauds in those States in the recent election,
and make known TO him the state of affairs
in their respective districts. These dele
gates are all cOlOred men. The names of
those from Mississippi are Robert E. Smith,
George White, and Charles Brown. The
delegates from Arkansas are Geerge w. C.
Roberts and Samuel White.

Advertising alone does not produce sue
cess. The thing which is advertised must
have intrinsic merit, or else large advertis-
ing will do it more harm than good. If
you have anything which you know to be
good, adrertise it Thoroughly, and you will
be sure to succeed; if it is poor, don't
praise it, for people will soon discover you
are lying.
Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON
ROUTE, which runs to three great regions
in the West: 1st, To Omaha, connecting
with the great Pacific Roads. I'd, To
Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska, and all
that beautiful region south of the Platte
filled with r. r. lands and homesteads.-
Sd, To st. Joseph, Kansas City and all
Kansas points.
The roads are splendidly built, have the
best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform
and coupler, and the safety air brake to
prevent the loss of life that is everywhere
else happening); Pullman's sleepers, Pull
man dining cars, large and powerful
engines Ito make quicl; time and good con-
nections), and are, in word, the best
equipped roads in the West. So that if
you desire to go safely, surely, quickly and
comfortably to any point in Southern Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, or on the Pacific Roads,
be sure that you go "By Way of Bullng-
ton"
All who wish particular information, and

FAMILIAR LAW.
ATTACHMENT.

Having in a former article touched upon
Attachment it is only upon the request of
several who labor by the day and month
for livelihood, and who are particularly
affected by Attachment laid in the hands of
their employers, that 1 again take up this
subject.
No Attachment of the wages or hire of
any laborer or employee in the hands Of
the employer, whether private individuals
or bodies corporate, shall effect any salary
or wages of the debtor which are not
actually due at the date of the Attachment,
and the sum Of ten now taoenty dollars of
such wages or salary which may be due,
shall be exempted from attachment,
whether on warrant or Judgment. Now it
should be borne in mind that only the
amount due from the employer to the
employee, that is from the one who employs
to the one employed, at the time the At
tachment is laid, less twenty dollars can be
attached. For instance, A hires 3 for so
much per month; 4 is indebted to G; G
sues A, gets judgment and lays an Attach
ment in the hands of B as Garnishee.-
Now whatever is due A by B, less $50, c
is entitled to; but as to the amount due it
must be determined by the time the At
tachment is laid, for if he hire by the
month his months wages are due only
on the last day of the month, as well as
the last hour, hence an Attachment laid
on the last day would not be good, as the
month would not expire until the last hour
of the last day. 1t would have to be laid
ON the day following to secure the whole
months wages. 1t might be different
where the work or hiring is really by the
day, and payment by the mouth only being
for convenience. An Attachment in that
case would secure the amount over and
above $40, due at the date of suing or
laying the Attachments in all probability.
1t will also be remembered that 800 is
exempt from Attachment when laid on the
goods, chattels or effects of the defendant

{" Lights and ShadeMs OF New York Life:

Or, the Sights and Sensations Of the Great
City," a aoork descriptive Of Nea0 York
City in all ats yarious phases. It's Sple1a-
doris and WretchednesS; Its High and LOao
Life: Its Marble Palaces and Dark Dens;:
It's attractions and Dangers; It's Rings
and Frauds; Its Leading Men and Poll
hcians; It's Adcenturers; lis Mysteries
and Crime. By James d. lNcCn6e, DR..
The National Publishing Co., of Phila-
delphia, have just issued one of the most
remarkable and attractive books of the day,
bearing the above title. 1t is comprised in
one large octave volume of $50 pages, and
illustrated with nearly 200 fine engravings
of noted places, life and scenes in New
York.
To Mr.. McCabe is due the credit of hav-
ing produced the most complete and graph
ic account of the great city, and its busy
and varied life that it has been our fortune
to meet with. His book is brim full of
solid and useful information, and abounds
in descriptions of the various public build
ings of New York, its palaces, prisons,
hotels, churches, stores, hospitals, etc.
The work sets forth in glowing colors the
noble work for suffering humanity, which
is going on every day in the great city, and
reveals with bold hand the terrible crimes;
the dark mysteries, and the hidden sins of
of metropolitan life. We are introduced
into the home of the Fifth Avenue million
aire, and carried with equal interest to the
squalid cellar of the Five Points beggar.-
We are brought face to face with the good
and the bad, the high and the low, with
leading merchants, bankers, editors and
actors, with bummers, thieves, detectives,
and murderers, with working women, bal
let girls, adventuresses, and host Of 9th
ers and we seem to be listening to their
stories from their own lips, so thoroughly
does the author encbain our interest. Our
warmest enthusiasm and our deepest con-
tempt are alternately aroused BY the thrill
ling recitals of their deeds of virtue and
vice. The history and frauds of the famous
Tammany Ring are related with great
force and candor, and this portion alone is
worth the price OF the book.
In short the book is New York in minia-
ture. The author has penetrated, under
the protection of the police, into the dark
est and most dangerous haunts of crime in
the city, and has thus been enabled to OBJ
tain accurate information on the topics
whereof be treats. Visitors to New York,
cannot hope to see or know as much of the
city as they may learn by a perusal Of this
book. To all who contemplate visiting the
great Metropolis, we cordially recommend it,
both for its information and for it's powerful
warnings against the dangers of the city.
Those who cannot see New York for them
selves will be in a great measure repaid for
that privation by reading this work. 1t is
published in both English and German;
sold by subscription only, and the publish
ers want agents in every county.

teins with the snowy range come IN view
Nebraska is almost exclusively prairie
State, and although it requires stretch of
the Imagination to conjure up forest out
of the small and scanty growth Of timber
about Omaha, yet it has more the RESENT
blance of forest than anything that is
met with for thousand miles west.
This is claimed to be in soil and climate
a great fruit country, freedom from frosts
during the months of May and September,
favoring the growth Of all fruits adapted to
the Temperate Zone. West of Omaha the
dry latitude is soon met with and fifty
miles west grazing becomes the most i'm
portant and profitable business. The lands
along these roads are settling up rapidly
and in few years will all be taken by sale
and preemption.

at Omaha, whose kindness places me un-

Mr.. X. was absent on duty while | was in

entirely reconciled to change after mid

desert to native paradise their hearts
never ceases to yearn for the scenes of
childhood.
Yesterday a vote was taken in the car l

Greeley, and one doubtful. 1t is the
same story. The soreheads who have set
up housekeeping on their own hook, with
Greeley at the head of the family, are play
ing wonderful game of brag for the pur-
pose of catching the Baltimore nomination;
but when the count is taken the little silent
man is always found ahead. This last
turn of Greeley to get at the head of the
Democrat party is about the sharpest curve
he ever turned and it will be his last

Horace White on Horace Greeley.

AS Horace White, of the Chicago Tri-
bune. is now one of the principal support
ers of Mr.. Greeley for President, it may be
interesting to recall Mr.. Whites opinion
of his friend, as published in 1866:
Horace Greeley is not now, and never has
been, man who ought to be trusted with
an official position requiring practical wis
dom, ordinary craftsmanship, or firm, con-
sistent action. For twenty-five years he
has been marplot in council, an unreli-
able commander in action, misanthrope
in victory, and riotous disorganizer in
defeat. He was always fanatical in his
demands for the EXTREMIST measures, and
when the party has reached the eve of tri-
upph, invariably thrusts himself forward
as a negotiator Of terms of surrender to the
enemy, His course during the war was
but a repetition of his course in politics.
In 1861 he was an open defender of secess-
ion; he changed to vigorous champion of
the war, and thereafter was forever reck-
lessly making proposals for peace and as
recklessly Withdrawing them-making war
in spite of Mars, and negotiating in spite
of Menerva.
For twenty years he has been an uncom-
promising advocate for square fight with
the proslavery party, and when that kind
of a fight was forced upon the Republicans
in 1860, he was here in Chicago, voting not
for Linceln, nor for Chase, but for old Ed
ward Bates, of Missouri, one of the fossils
of the slave party. He was then the asso-
ciate and co-laborer of that other imprac-
ticable and unreliable squad-the Blair
family. The country at this time wants no

Peters Detector says: A very ingeni-
Gus trick, by which gang of swindlers are
making money by mutilating national bank
notes of the denomination of five dollars,
has recently come to our notice. The
dodge consists of making ten bills out of
nine, and is so managed that there is but
one FASTING to each of the manufactured
note. The nine whole bills are taken, and
from the right of the first one-tenth is
sliced off; from the right of the second,
two-tenths; from the right of the third,
three teenths, and so on to number nine,
from which nine. teenths are taken from
the right, or what amounts to the same
thing, one -tenth from the left. Number
one is passed as it is, with a tenth gone
from the right; the one-tenth taken from
number one is pasted to the residue of
number two, from which two-tenths had
been taken: these two-tenths are made to
answer the place of the three tenths taken
from number three, and so on through
Thus nine five dollars notes are completed,
leaving the original number nine, with a
tenth gone from the left as tenth note.
Ii viii he seen that but a tenth is gone
from each bill. and in a different place on
every one, and a little ingenious FASTING
makes the loss imperceptible to ordinary
observers.

The following from the Erening Post
may help to reassure Democrats who are
concerned about the waning prospects of a
'istraight" nomination at Baltimore. 1t
may serve, also, as seasonable reminder
to Republicans, of the precise issues into
which the Presidential contest has resolved
itself:
The party will make straight nomina-
ton at Baltimore in putting Greeley's name
at the head of the ticket, the very straight
est nomination possible, for it proposes
thereby to reinstate the old party organiza-
nothing, compromising nothing, acknowl-
edging nothing, promising nothing. they
have captured feeble old man. whose
desire for. office is almost an insanity, and
who, to compass it, is ready to turn his
back upon the record of his whole life; and
on the supposition OF his popularity with
his own party they propose to capture
Republican votes enough to put themselves
into power. Whether they will succeed in
carrying such scheme as this to a success
full termination, or whether, succeeding in
it, they will cheat Greeley or Greeley cheat
them, is another question. But cunning
as Greeley is-and all unfathomable cunning
is one of his strongest characteristics as it
is always of the class of men to which he
belongs-we believe he will be no match
for the men into whose hands he has deliv-
cred himself. A share of the plumber no
doubt will be thrown to the hungry adven-
turers, men and women, whom lie would
carry to Washington; but share of polit-
cal power-not a bit of it,

Note the following, from the New

Note the following, from the New
York Times: "There is not a rascal in this
city who does not propose to vote for Gree
ley. Tweed, Sweeny, Hall-the entire
'Tammany gang-are for him. Every Tam
many organization in this city is being re-
viyed for his benefit. The Tammany Re-
publicans-the meanest politician in the
world-are using all their efforts in his
favor. Under this stimulus the "Ameri-
Gus Club" was revived last week, "Boss
Tweed in the chair-the first time he has
dared to show himself in public for months
past"
1t is the Tammany Democrats, allied
with the ex-rebels of the South, who make
up the bulk and the most active element OF
Greeley's supporters.
1t is becoming very plain aohy the Democ-
racy have resolved, as a party, unani-
mously to support Greeley. There is moth
ing very strange aboutit. When the whole
tribe of Tammany thieves, who are person.
al acquaintance and some of them bust
ness partners, support him with SO much
public emphasis, the whole Democratic
tribe, far and near, know that he has been
sounded and is safs-safe for those notori-
GUS thieves. Would such men prefer him
to Grant, if they thought him more honeste
If they thought Greeley more friend of
the honest laborer than of such men as
Tweed Geo., who make their living by
stealing? There are but few Republicans
who have been beguiled to follow Greeley,
but with the light that the last few weeks
have thrown upon that coalition between
him and the Democrats. we marvel that
even one with an honest purpose at heart,
can be found who is not alarmed and
ashamed to be found in the company that
is drawing the closest round him.

Who Supports Greeley's Nomination.

The rebel Ex-Governor of North Caro-
lima, Z. b. Vance, speaks to-day for Gree
ley's nomination at Baltimore. He is the
man who wanted hell crowded full with
Yankees, and was party to the Salisbury
prison pen management.
Beauregard, who Illuminated loudly, in
proclamationS at least, wants Greeley NOM
mated. So does General Hood. Forest,
the murderer of Fort Pillow. and self con-
victed Grand Cyclops of the Ku-Klux Khan
is, with Bates, Cheatham, and Brown, out
for Greeley. General Gordon, of Georgia,
also Ku-klux Cyclops, is in the same
boat; Benning, Wofford. Wright, the lat
ter of whom was the willing witness who
defended the Ku-klux before the Congress
sional Committee of Investigation, Hamp-
ton and Kershaw, are Greeley leaders in
South Carolina.
In Alabama the pirate Semmes leads the
list.
In Virginia Imboden, Pickett, and 9TH
ers Of a similar stripe advocate Greeley.
The question naturally occurs. Who
has moved? These men and their allies
affirm they have not. Mr.. Greeley has
made q bridge for himself TO travel over to
them. The Tribune steadily nails the
planks together with misrepresentation
Who supports Mr.. Greeley from the ranks
of the Union army? What distinguished
soldier who led the Boys in Blue? Is it
John Cochrane? He is more distinguished
for bizarre politics than brilliant deeds of
war. He will be remembered far more for
promising the people Of Virginia, during
the winter Of 1S60-61, from the steps of
the Exchange Hotel, Richmond, that if the
Government attempted to coerce the Sc
ceding States, lie, John Cochrane, would
lead an army of hundred thousand men
from the North to defend them. He is a
"big thing" on leading, having tried his
hand on Il Thousand men and failed. He
had sense enough to know that the ''tented
field was not a tit abiding place for him,
and so be left-for the Cleveland Conven-
ton. John Cochrane is among the most
distinguished Northern soldiers who favor

The Iowa Falls Sentinel has been anal
yzing the names of Grant and Greeley
"Our opinion is that the names, Grant and
Greeley, should be analysed thus: Both
have the same handle, Gr One has the
suffix ami, which means industrious, prud-
ent, full of work, foresight and energy, and
the other has the sullix eel-y, which means
wriggling, slippery, and not twice in the
same place"
