20 bias or party feeling stand in the
Fay of a just, equal and peaceful
measure for extricating the question
from the embarrassment that at pres
tat surrounds it.
IN CONCLUSION

from the embarrassment that at pres
lat surrounds it.
IN CONCLUSION
we respectfully beg leave to impress
upon Congress the necessity OF q
speedy determination upon this
subject. 1t is impossible to estimate
the material loss the country daily
sustains from the existing state Of
uncertainty.
1t daily ana hourly tends to unsettle
And paralyze business; to weaken pub
he and private credit, and. to create
apprehensions in the minds of people,
and distul b the peaceful tenor Of their
happiness. It does far more-it tends
% bring republican institutions into
Gscrsdit, and to create doubts of the
sIo cess Of our form of government,
IN Of The perpetuity, of the Republic.
AL considerations of interest, of pat
rio,ism and of justice unite in demand
ingof the law-making power a meas.
ure that will bring peace and prosper
ity 10 the country, and show that our
Republican institutions are equal to
any emergency; and in this connect.
ion We cannot refrain from the ex-
preston Of our satisfaction that your
committees, composed of equal mum.
bers Of the opposing parties, have
been able to do what has been attempt
in vain Observation-Disclosures universally
agree upon Il plan considered by them
all to be just, wise and efficient. We
accordingly recommend the proposed
act to the patriotic and just judgment
Of Congress-. [Signei]

They are coming. Some Of the

We will give it up that there is no

or genuine christianity either. But
then We can sing with the angels,

HARDWARE; big stock, cheap
By Stevenson & Cross.

- The Division Of Sons OF Tenn
perance had a very happy time last
Friday evening. Il had teen under
stood that Mrs. Van Pelt, the Grand
Worthy Chief TempIar Of the State,
would be down from Lincoln on that
evening 10 be il attendance upon the
District Lodge of Good Templars at
Nemaha City the next day, and she
accepted an invitation to meet the
memb bers Of the Division in their hall
for a socOal-gTeeting and acquaintance
making. The mem bers were delight
ed when the evening train came in
and they found that theiy eminent
guest had come. She was escorted in
to the crowded hall by the Conductor
and cOteric of temperance
girls, and was met and welcomed by
Mr.. Pollock in q few well-chosen
words. Presentations and hand
shakiDgs were then INDUCED in,
while the good sisters Of the Divis-
ion spread the table with the contents
of their weII-filled baskets. Although
the supper was wholly, as it were, an
impromptu affair, and no intention of
any big demonstration in that respect,
we must say that it was one Of the
nestest tables we ever saw. Every
thing looked so well, and was
Just as good as it looked And there
was enough for all, and baskets of
cake, fruit, ETC., 10 carry away.
There were quite a number of Good
Templars, from adjacent lodges, pres
ent, and were most cordially welcOm-
ed and entertained by the members of
the Division. We think that frequent
gatherings Of the kind would result
in good.
Music wss always in order, and the
ladies enlivened the occasion with
many good selections.
It was a very enjoyable, harmoni-
Gus. social gathering Of temperance
I people, IN earnest in the great cause
of inducing every body to abstain from
all that intoxicates. 1t was a happy
thought Of our temperance people to
greet, and welcome, and encourage
the noble lady, the head of q noble
order, dedicated to the noble work ot
TEN perance, IN the cordial manner
they did.

- We are daily reminded of good
old times in BrownvilIe. Our streets
and levee are crowded with teams (;
our sidewalks are thronged and our
houses Of merchandise and trade are
filled with customers with plenty of
money in their pockets, and every
body-merehauts, clerks, tradesmen
mechanics, workingmeD, all are busy.
And everybody looks cheerful and
says Times are getting better" And
times are good here and getting bet
ter. We heard an old and prominent
merchant say that trade was increas-
ing In a remarkable degree, and is
better than it has been for the past
four years No, gentlemen, don't
mistake-Brownville is not dead-not
by long shot. There were good crops
last year and there are big crops this
/ year, there are grain merchants here
with plenty of money to buy every
bushel, and in their com petition farm
ers receive the best possible prices.
And we have railroad facilities equal
to any competing city. Then why not
Brownville come right up to the front
SIS a market? She is doing it we can
assure all, and assuming her proper
position as among the first grain
maits Of the State. II Is pleasing
to know that our people are realizing
this and that confidence is being re-
stored IN Brownyille as il is, and as
Is promised IN the future.
