THE REPUBLICAN, is always magnanimous
We have not been oblvious Of the greatness
and goodness of the Hon. Carl Schurz who
played the part of secretary of the interior
under the administration of Rutherford B.
Hayes. On the contrary, we have, as occasion
offered presented him to the public as spe-
cimen Of genus of statesmen who deserves
to be honorcd by immediate extinction. Carl
8. is not now cabinet officer, and although
slightly dsfigured,' Carl is "still in the ring"
At Gray Cliff, Mont, lately the Willard
party arrived. There were a number of
distinguished people in the party,
among others the Hon. Carl Schurz.
A celebrated chief of the Mountain
Crows known as 1.-TWO Bellies" who had
been hiding himself from civilized people, no
sooner heard of the arrival of the Hon. Carl
$. than he mounted himself on his pony, with
one leg done up in bandage, which was nee
essary, from the fact that he had received in
this leg a ball from musket of United
States soldier q few years ago. and made his
way to welcome the Hon. Carl Schurz Two
Bellies embraced Carl, and Carl embraced
Two Bellies, and, as the late Col. Haskell of
Tennessee, would say, "All shod tears" Put
this to the credit of Carl Schurz.

KANSAS CITY is known to be tho most

THE New Jersey republicans have made n
good start in the present campaign in that
state, With n good cause, good platform,
and an exceptionally strong candidate for
governor, the party is in a condition to mako
a most formidable effort to redeem their
state from tho thraldom of de-
mocracy, Judge Jonathan Dixon, the
nominee for governor, is citizen
of irroproachablc record, lawyer of marked
ability, and n judge noted for his acumen and
the correctness Of his opinions. There is

MIR. Lobouchero on Americans.

Americans in some respects are patient
and forbearing people, We have learned not
to bc either disappointed or annoyed when
foreigners, whom we always receive with
marked courtesy and generous hospitality,
abuse our hospitality by unfriendly aud
sometimes coarse and untruthful criticisms
This course on the part of the English visitors
especially is the rule, yet we are glad to be
ablo to note an exception in an article written
by Mr.. Labouchere in the London Post. Mr..
Labouchere says:
Americans are essentially cosmopolitan, and
they adapt themselves far more easily TO new sur
roundings than we English. They are, moreover,
more free from prcjudlces, OF course among
50,00O,O0O human beings there are some who are
Objectionable, but Americans on neutral ground,
such as Paris, Switzerland, &C., are, as u rule Il
very great deal more appreciated than we are, and
this not because they are rGhor, but because they
are more pleasant We, rather than they, are, |
am inclined to think, open to the reproach of
being uncomfortable Among ourselves we got on
very we'll. but with foreigners we arc not so pop
ular Few Americans remain long enough in
England to go into society, Those, however, who
do are generally we'll received, aud their manners
contrast with considerable advantage with those
Of very large number Of EnglIshmen,
This is praise not to be despiscd, coming
from the source it docs. Mr.. Labouchere
says that nearly every American whom he
has met is good tallSer, and this without re
gard to whether his life has been spent il
mining, agriculture, commerce, or literature

Nlobrara star Route,

BY an order Of the second assistant post
master, general to take effect Sept. 30, the
star route from Niobrara to Fort Randall
Oak, has been discontinued. John Il, Minor
was the lowest bidder for supply ing service
upon this route, and was awarded the con-
tract which was afterwards annulled bccouso
of technical imperfectiOns The reasons
given at the postofco department for the alb
olition of the route is that since the date of
advertisement for proposals the railway sys-
TEN in that section of the country has been
extended so greatly that the necessity for the
star route service no longer exists,

of embezzlomcnt wero proved to have been
based on facts, tho agent deemed it his duty
