/ Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
The election, with all its excite
ment, is past and gone, and perhaps
it would be well to go back and look
the battle-ground over, and see
where the mistakes and the faults
have come from.
1t is well known that this county is
now, and always has been, strongly
Republican. The vote for the nation
al ticket at the last election proves
that. And every man who has been
elected to any office for years past has
been elected hy Republican votes.
And Mr.. Church Howe must have
known this; and yet, instead of rep
resenting. the party tn which he owed
his election when he was last in the
best TO elect a Democrat to the United
States Senate. And now again the
people, like an indulgent parent,
have said by their votes that they
forgive him the first offence, and give
him an opportunity to mend his ways
and see if he will not do better next
time.
Now, we believe if this young rattle
headed boy goes to Lincoln and mis-
represents his parents sgain, he will
catch a whipping next time. Neither
cigars nor excuses will save him. Il
has been said He that knOweth his
masters will and doeth it not, shall
be beaten with many stripes" De-
pend upon it, young man, The stripes
will surely come. The people. your
parents, will not be trjfled with many
times; they have only forgiven you
this time, hoping that you will here
after walk in VISIONS ways, and
vote only for true Republican for U.
$. Senator. FAIR VIEW,

An Unans~serabIe Argument.

The strongest argument which can be

RICHARDSON COUNTY.
Trial Of KOuntz for the Murder of his
Wife.
Correspondence State Journal.

Correspondence State Journal.
FALLS CITY. Nov. "a. 1876.
The all absorbing fopie here at this
time is, shall, or shall not, John
Kountz be hanged, and indeed large
majority of the order-loving people of
this county hope that his career may
be cut short, for they think him guilty
OF one of the most bioOd-curdliDg
crimes known to the law.
He is q man of medium height,
weighing about 40 pounds, light hair
and complexion, and grey eyes, but
in demeanor a stole of the most Sc
we're kind. He is said to have been at
one time a Russian soldier, whose
time was purchased from that govern
ment by his Inflated fran. The beast
in geuteel human form is now on tri-
al for numbering his wife in June last
There are about fifty witnesses sub
ppnaed for the State, and about
twenty-five for the defense. a bout
twenty for the State have been exam.
ined. The evidence to the jury,
coupled with the common reports,
shows him to have pursued an inhu-
man course towards his wife for years
past, frequently beating and threat
ening to kill her, and the evidence
shows that she, in many cases. left
the house and went to neighbors, or
wandered about the prairie, and in
one case she laid about twenty-four
hours at the graves of her three dead
children, to escape his terrible wrath.
His own children will testify against
him, and their evidence, though
purely ciTcumstantiai. will tend TO
show that he murdered their mother
and then threw her into the river,
where her body was found some ten
days after, in aa advanced stage of
decomposition. The trial commenced
on the 22d, and probably will not
close before the 2Sth or 3Oth. The
counsel for the State are J. w. Eller,
District Attorney, assisted by Frank
Martin and c. Gillespie; for the de-
fense, A. Schoenheit, Isham Reavis,
E. S. T0w!e. and r. S. Molony, Jr.
The counsel for both sides seem to |
understand their business, |
and, withal, this trial promises to be
one of the most Interesting ever had
in this section of the State.

- By order Of Judge Pound, during
the late term of the district court,
those bonds-$7S, ,O0O-for the recovery
of which suit some time ago WAS
commenced by the county, were can
celled by the district clerk.
AS there has been mueii said about
those bonds, true and fal.e, we will
give brief history of them. They
were voted in 1879, to aid in construct
ing the Brownville and Ft. Kearney
! railroad through NeInaha county, to
! be delivered to the railroad company
upon the completion Of certain work.
The bonds were issued and placed in
the hands of John l.. Carson and w.
II. Hoover, to be held subject TO the
order OF the county. These bonds
have never been out Of the possession
OF those two trustees, and were deliv-
cred bacS to the county and cancel
! led without resistance or objection
| frCm any one. DR.. Converse, nor any
other person, ever received, demand
ed, or sought in any manner to get
possession of them.
The people may realize now the
immense amount of bosh and false
hood that has been circulated by
demagogues about Converse having
those bonds, and the terrible lawsuit
that would have to be endured by the
people to recover them from him.
And the baldeTdash that Church
Howe relieved himself of during the
campaign by his bombastic declara-
| tions that he would recover those
bonds for the people, is also very ap-
parent.
We think the course taken by the
county commissioners to have the
bonds returned and cancelled by the
order of the district court was all
right; and although it has cost the
county S25O.OO attorneys fee, and the
costs of suit, still it is better to have
those bonds wiped out.

- District Court for this county
adjourned for the term last Saturday
noon. We presume that the business
of the term was well and thoroughly
done, from the fact that lawyers, ju-
rors, witnesses, Htgauts, and all, unite
in praise of Judge Pound. If our OBJ
servations are correct, we have never
had District Judge who gave so uni
versal satisfaction as he, especially
among the members of the bar; and
