The Wortlington papers Are getting
things down to fine point. The AD-
VANCE accuses the Journal of meta
phorically bulldozing 4 nine year old
boy for firing off toy pistol;. and fur
tl,ermore asserts that the recent theft
by boy named Nelson, of candy, raj
sins, cigars, etc, from the cars, is the.
''legitimate fruits of the constant de-
fence of mischief and wrong by the
Journal SET" Questions Of ethics thus
agitate this moral community, just rs

The growth of Illinois arrested the
attention of the world. Starting al-
most from an equal base, and running
over twenty years, the ratio of increase
in Nebraska nearly doubles that of
Illinois!
But in spite of this increased p:O-
ductive power, very little Roadway has
thus far been made in manufactures,
and probably no State in the Union Of
fers better inducements for the opening
up of the various industries common
to the country, than Nebraska.
There is big money in the manuf:,c-
ture of flax into ropes, twines, sacks,
etc. Hogs are a profitable crop, and
there is no reason why pork-packing
and the curing of ham and bacon should
not be largely and profitably carried on.
Soap should be manufactured in the
State more cheaply than further east,
and the business must he largely ex-
tended to meet the home demand. Dis
titled liquors will better bear transport
tation than the grain from which they
are made. Paper could be profitably
manufactured, and for many other ili-
dustries there is an immediate opening;
for instance: |. Glass, for which large

Flannels, blankets, coarse woolens and
cheap carpets; 5. Various manufac-
lures of leather and skins; and 6. Pot
terry from kaOline or porcelain clay,
which exists in inexhaustible guam
titles.

These are the claims which the pub
fishers of the New York Observer make
for their paper in their prospectus Of
the .Gfty-6Jth rol,nne. And, while his
tory bears them out in the first, All un-
deviating course in sending on: a large,
full, fresh. readable family newspaper,
gives them ut least a right to the second.
In the great multitude of papers that
are published, the Observer holds its
own position, and All enyiable position
it is. No paper reaches us that we can
recommend more heartily. 1t is pub
lished at $s-15a year, postpaid, and the

Moody and Sankey go to Boston in a
few days to begin religious work
there. They are much needed in the
modern Athens, where there is so large
a class Of cultivated people who, like
the Greeks, live to discuss: philosophy
and learn some thew thing" They
will come like Paul, when lie spoke on
Mars Hill, to tell them of the unknown
God, and declare to them that, however
much culture may adorn life and char
acter, it will not save men. But when
culture is engrafted on life devoted
to Christ, it is irresistibly beautiful.

We hope to be able to tell our readers
who has been elected President by the
4th of March next. If the Congress
sional Committees now engaged in
taking testimony in the South could
agree upon a report the people would
acquiesce, whether they report in favor
Of Hayes or Tilden. But We have lit.
tie hope of such agreement. One thing
is certain: the people will never submit
to any decision of the question by tie
House of Representatives alone. The
constitution clearly defines when that
body shall elect, and it is equally clear
upon another point, viz: that the Pres
1dent of the Senate shall open the re-
turns, make the count in presence of
both houses, and declare the result.
This has been done from the founda-
ton of the government, and in one or
two instances President of the Sen
ate was chosen for the cypress purpose of
co~at;ng the cote, and it was declared
that lie was chosen for that express
purpose.
However we have no doubt that Con-
gress will claim the right to 90 behind
the returns and ascertain whether or
not they are legally and fairly made.
And if both houses could agree, the
people would accept the result as final.
In case of Il disagreement, which is
almost certain, we hope the President
of the Senate will perform duty never
before questioned, and that the man
who is declared elected after such count
will be inaugurated. If any hotspur
attempts to make trouble, lie should he
promptly arrested and held until the
new President is safely in his seat and
in full control of the reins of govern
ment. r
THE GREA r EDITOR.
Tie monumental bust of Horace
Greeley was unvailed on the 4th inst,
in the presence of some $40 persons at
i Greenwood Cemetery. E. G, Stedman
read the poem and Bayard Taylor de.
1ivered the address. From his excel.
lent estimate of the man we quote a
few passages:
= / should like to speak of his tender
ness and generosity; l should like to
explain the awkward devices of his
heart to hide itself, knowing that the
exhibition OF feeling is unconventional
and sensitive lest its earnest impulses
should he misconstrued. But the vail
which he wore during life must not be
lifted by the privilege which follows
death.
The following is the conclusion OF
the address:
Something of him has been absorbed
into Il Multitude of other lives, and will
he transmitted to their seed. His true
monument is as broad as the land he
served. This which you have erected
his ashes, is the least memorial OF
his life. But it stands rs he himself
loved to, stand, on = breezy knoll, where
lie could battle his brow in the sllad.
