TBE Brownville Adcerf;ser OF last
week has q long and somewhat bitter ar.
ticle concerning our neighbor, Prof.
Williams, of the Lowell Register. He
is charged with trying to engender :
sectional feeling between the Eastern
aud Western portions Of tie State.
We know that Prof: Williams is an
able and energetic worker for the inter
ests Of the entire State, aud especially
so for the locality or section in which he
lives and moves. He has the nerve
to speak right out" and ability to back
it Up, and if you have any more Of those
kind Of men to spare from Ncmaha

talent is appreciated. With regard to
the Professors political aspirations We
have no official record, but are speaking
only as 10 his general usefulness a. an

TBE Falls City journal is labo,iug
Under u missVpreheDsion Of facts con-
corning the meeting Of the Republican
State Executive Committee lately held
in Omaha. and after charging several
unheard Of things, asks Why Judge Full
ton, Of Richardson county, had 10 Off
eial notice Of the meeting.
For the information Of the Journal,
as well as all others who arc not posted,
We will say that a Central Committee is
chosen al each State Convention, to hold
its life until another convention meets.
In this State said committee has eener-
! ally consisted Of one member from each
Senatorial District, or thirteen in all.
At the last State Convention, however,
Two districts situated in the West part
Of the State were each allowed &c extra
menbV. foE resopns then and there con-
sidered sufficient. After the election of
q central committee in open convention
that committee elect five of its own
members to form an Executive commit
tee, the duties Of which are not Of 80
general a nature as the central commit
tee. The meeting in question was
called by Mr.. johnson, Chairman Of the
central committee, not by Major Caffrey.
The notice was published in the usual
form, and the date right as far az We
saw. VIZ we're present at the meeting
as a spectator and know Of our own per-
sonal knowledge that no attempt was
made to spportion the representation Of
the State, nor to fix the time Of holding
the State Convention. Before the meet
ing was called to order, and after ad-
journment both these questions were
freely discussed by all persons who chose
to participate.
For the benefit Ct those who think
they see wool in the fence we will
state that there was nothing said or done
at that meeting which tended in the re-
hottest degree to show any attempt to
dictate to the party, or to put up any
Jobs Of any nature. 1t was purely a
buriuess meeting that could have been
held in any public place, as far as the
transactions are concerned. We have no
doubt that when Judge Fulton knows
all tie circumstances he will have O diff
ferent fee'irR about the matter,

The rhubarb wine case upon which so
much comment was made Monday is thus
stated by Mr.. 5. ID. Poverty.
Mr.. John Matot of Leicester, called up
on Edward Osier to sell barrel of rhubarb
wine, and was asked if there were any i'll
toxicatng qualities in it. He gave assur-
ance that there was not. He purchased a
barrel, which was sent by freight, and
taken from the depot to Mr.. Oser's store
by truckman named johnson.
On opening it on the 4th OF July Mr. S.
d. Poverty who was employed by Mr..
Osicr, took bottle of it to b. w. Marshall
Esq, explaining the whole transaction in
order that the entire matter might be fully
understood. He asked Mr.. Marshall to cx-
anime it, which he did, and replied SIT is a

lie then took bottle to DR.. L. c. Lewis

On this information he drew four gallons
and placed it for sale at his stand near til,

show his warrant for the seizure, but
Mr.. Poverty told him he did nat want to

he would be over in few minutes.
Poverty went over and asked DIR. Lewis If

was impossible for him to do it that day.
On Mr.. Pcverly's return Osier poured
out the four gallons and split 1t upon the

None had been sold or given away. The
warrant was directed against Osier and not
against Mr.. Poverty.
