"REIIEF NoTEs."-These "relief notes. are
from the Kirwin Chief:
A S. Clark is not authorized to solicit aid for
Kirwin, or any other part of Philips County.
He left this part of the country Immediately after
being arrested and tried for stealing, upon which
trial he was acquitted upon a mere technicality.
The citizens of the east will, by refusing to
ognze him, thereby prevent themselves from be-
ing swindled by rank impOstor
Interminable quarreling and squabbling over
the aid business all round is sufficient to disgust,
we should think, the veriest pauper that ever
inhabited a poor house. Our wonder is, that i'll
view of the situation, the eastern people will
ling to give anything to parties who accuse each
other of stealing secondhand clothing from a
panpcrs clothes line
1t is easier for a needle to go through the eye
of a camel, than it is for rich man TO get
through a grasshopper season without drawing
aid.
The following "relief notes" are from the Mar
shall County Ne9s:
We learn that every township in Marshall
County last week voted township relief bonds
Sdbethd 4adraHce.
You are mistaken; we are opposed to squan-
dering ovr own money. The rguv'meut" is GO
ing to send us condensed milk and beans.
Nemaha County has only 96i destitute persons
County that has more destitute than this
pitiful number should be ashamed of itself.
They invoke the aid of the law in Phillips Coun-
ty to compel proper distribution of aid goods.

IT We have received a copy of the Report OF
the managers of the Atchison and Nebraska Rail.
road for the year 1874 which, while it does not
show as large an amount of nett profits as some
could desire, does not indicate that the road is
running down. For the year 1874, the earnings
of the road were $50 $50 in excess of expenditures
On the one hand, expenses were heavy in pro.
tecting the road from the ravages of the Missouri
River; and on the other hand, as the Secretary
saws, the road is essentially farming one, and
the failure of crops along the route last season
told fearfully upon the freight earnings. Their,
is an encouraging future in store for the Atchsor
and Nebraska yet.

the Denison Gift Enterprise He says: 81 desire

Dcnison, Texas, or any other place, never have
been, nor ever expect to be. Farther, will
say, that never oven purchased a lottery ticket
in my life, not even at Church Fair, aud prob

ther Baker injustice; but we had heard it free
quently said that he was proprietor of that Lot
terry, and it was spoken of as a well settled mat
ter of fact. We give him the benefit of his de-
nial; but if he thinks the matter of sufficient
Importance, he should take means to give the
denial the fullest circulation, because the i'm
preston is very widespread that he is the real
proprietor of that Denison concern.

A DIRTY DIVORCE Casa Mr.. Harbaugh
got a divorce in the Circuit Court at Maryville
last week. In his petition he alleged that his
spouse filthy in her person aud habits,
and so outrageously dirty and lousy, as to make
his life uncomfortable. But he did not say he
ever wished himself dead. The lice were so bad
as to cause portion of his wife's hair to come
out, and child born, the couple was nearly
eaten up by the vcrnin. All this time, the Pc
titioner claims that lie treated his wife with love
and affection. The tongh point for Judge GraLb
to get over was if the fellow really loved her
and hated the lice, why didn't he provide her
with ten cents worth of red preeipitate but. he
granted the dvorce.-.H Joe Gd.sffe

PoRrESToUs OMRSs.-Tbose who look with
Jealous eye upon the encroachments of the Church
nnon the State have abundant cause for appre-
beusion in the movements of the Catholic Church
to procure certain privileges inconsistent with
the spirit of our laws and institutions, and the
readiness with which the Democratic party ac-
ceeds to her demand, whenever it is in power.
The Catholic Telegraph, of Cincinnati, the organ
of Archbishop Purcell says that two-thirds of the
Democratic party of Ohio are Catholics and for
eigners, and promises that party the solid Cath
olic vote of the State, at the next election. 1t
certainly means something, when a powerful
Church votes nnitelly with one party. The
election of Herman to the Senate from New York,
and of Wallace from Pennsylvania shows that
the same influence sways the Democratic party
in those States. To these facts may he added
the other significant one, that for the first time
in history, a Cardinal has been appointed in
America, and it is in contemplation to appoint
two more. Does it not mean that the Church Of
Rome is about making another mighty effort t.
rule America, and that the Democratic party II
the instrument by which it hopes TO succedf II
is question for the serious reflection OF liberty
loving men.

to express precisely the same views as those in
our article which it condemned.
