ADVERTISER do not seem inclined TO
obey the party lash. If the various


journals would denounce corruption


wherever found, purity in politics


would soon be the rule rather than


the exception. The trouble is, too
many papers fear to print the truth.
Lincoln Globe.


This talk about the party lash
sounds very nice, and Is very compll-
mentary, and likewise very fattering;
but there is O vein Of ingnorance or
falsity-we cannot tell which-con-
tanned in 1t that Is eXcusable only
when found in an independent paper
with Democratic proclivities. The
Globe undoubtedly refers to the drub-
bing that the Press and ADVERTISER
are giving Church Howe, but for the
life of US, we cannot see what the par
ty lash has to do with it. They are
not using the aforesaid lash to make
good Republican out of Howe, but
are opposing him because he deserted
his party for gain and Is now playing
the role of the prodigal son, and fur
thermore because he Is said TO have
done that thing which no pured-min-
ed legislator should be guilty of-re-
ceiving a bribe. It is not necessary
for anybody to hold the party lash
over these to newspapers. We con-
slider them two of the straightest par
ty journals in the State, and II they
protest against the re-admission Of
renegades and bribe-takers into the
party we are at loss to comprehend
in what manner they are disobeying
the party lash.-Beatrice Express.

In Omaha there are two factions In
the Republican party bitterly oppos-
ed to each other. One Is headed by
Rosewater and the other by officials
in self defense against his bitter war
fare. We suggest If these opposing
elements cannot. adjust their difficult
ties, or at least enter the conventions
with the understanding that the los
ing party shall acquiesce in the will
of the majority. that the conventions


may see safety in ignoring, altogether.
the factions and rings in Omaha.
These quarrels should not be permit
ted to jeopardize the success of the
party.-BroaCnuiLle Advertiser.


We heartily and fully indorse the
suggestions of the editor of THE AD-
VERTISER. At the same time, we


would remind him that the faction"
here, which he designates as Officials,
stands as it has stood from the outset,
simply on the defensive. 1t is COM
posed of the great body of the Repub-
lican party in Omaha. including near
ly all its leading men, and no other
course would have been consistent


with their respect, not TO cay party 10y
atty. Whatever faction and Aghtlng
there have been, they are not RESPONSE
bic for. Mr. Hitchcock, the Govern
ment officials here, the owners and
friends of the Republican, and the
entire respectability of the party here
endure these things simply because 10
combat with them would be to add
fuel to the flame and make bad mat
ter worse. They have done so for the
peace of the party and for their own
peace of mind. They have done so
because to have deigned reply, even
would have necessitated their stoop-
ing to the use of the same base weap-
ons which the petty vile slaDderer
has used, and because no man can
handle pitch and not be defiled.


We agree with THE ADVERTISER
that the differences among Republi-
cans must cease. It is time, on the
eve of a mortal struggle against "a
common foe, that they stop fighting
one another. The Republican will
have no hand in any quarrel or strife
among Republicans. So far as its
course and influence can go, the Oma-
ha Republicans will go into the con-
ventiOns as one man. They Will do
their best to secure such action as they
deem wise, and after such course fair
ly and well taken, they can be relied |
on to sustain the platform and sup
port the candidates of the conven-
tions. If any paper here, protesting
TO be Republican, sees fit to continue

We desire to call your attention to
the malicious libels circulated by the
Kearney Press and seconded by sever
al other papers in the state, against
the character and standing of our
Worthy State Master, Brother Church
Howe. Such charges without evil
dence of any kind whatever to sustain
them, are in our opinion wicked, ma
licious, and intended solely to bring
disgrace upon our order and destroy
it's usefulness. AS the slanderers,
when publicly called upon by our
worthy master to give evidence sus-
tanning said charges, have confessed
thei: entire inability to furnish such
proof. we do not hesitate to express
our entire disbelief in their assertions,
and earnestly request patrons through
out the State to unite with US in pub
fishing our condemnation of said un-
scrupulous attacks, and in sustaining
our worthy master in the work he Is
doing for our order, which was never
In more fiourishing condition than at
present. Let every subordinate
grange be heard from. By order of
the executive committee.

In reference to the above the Kear-
ney Press says:


About the Especial circular Num-
Der l." published in this issue. we
have but O few words to say. It IL
well understood by the patrons of
husbandry in nearly all parts of the
state why Church Howe takes so act
i've an interest. That he will be able
to make that organization tool in
the hands of corrupt politicians and
we do not believe. There
is one glaring misstatement made in
this circular, which every reader of
the Press will notice. We never
confessed our inability to furnish
such proof" but on the contrary are
anxiously for an opportunity,
which we now believe Is not far dis
tant. The higher Mr.. Howe is boost
ed just that much further he will
have to fall. Circular number two,
when issued, we will gladly publish.

rom the State Executive committee, |

We call attention to the card of the
executive committee OF the State
Grange generating Church Howe
from the charges against him.
Church's grange in Nemaha County
and several other oranges have pass
ed resolutions CT similar import. The
order is of course justifiable In pro-
tecting its members from the shafts of
SANDER, but we fear that the oranges
in question have acted to hastily in
the premises. Howe is chronic Of
fice-seeker, and his zeal in laboring
for the order has been actuated by the
prospects of securing some office.
Therefore instead of whitewashing
him the grange ought to make his
case subject of investigation.-Be-
dtrice Express.


It will take something more potent
than whitewash to save Church
Howe's bacon.

and gave him several blows. Thinking the

seized him and threw him over his shoulder.
The result was that the curbstone came In

spurted In q stream. The clergyman then

INTERESTING POINTS AT ISSUE IN REFERENCE


TO THE RIGHTS OF TELEGRAPH AND RAILROAD


CORPORATIONS.


DAVENPORT Iowa, Oct 20. 1870


Yesterday morning tho Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company served notices the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad Company that they would pro-
ceed to condemn right OF way for their telegraph line
along tho railroad companys right Of way, and the
railroad company presented to Judge Hayes bill Tor
an injunction against the telegraph company to rc-
STRAIN such condemnation and restrain the projected
entry upon tho right Of way Of the railroad Judge
Hayes granted the injunction. This week the Atlantic
aud Pacific Telegraph Company also condemned right
OF way along part Of the Kansas City, Council BLUM
and ST. Joseph Railroad In Pottawatamie county, and
were proceeding to condemn q right OF way IN
Fremont and Mills counties, Iowa To-day applica-
tion was made by that railroad company to judge
Reed of the District Court for the Council Bluffs dis
ric Injunction after notice to tho telegraph
company, to restrain further condemnation, and to
restrain the telegraph company from using the ground
already condemned, and after O hearing Judge Rood
granted the injunction asked for. Some interesting
legal questions thus presented as TO tho right OF

Ii the friends of cul.u and those
of religion do not very well agree to-
gether, 1t is none the less true that
culture and religion deal with the
same things and have the same Obj
ject. Both are concerned with the
higher life of man, and with the
whole OF that higher life. Both have
the same adversary, though religion
calls it woridliness and culture calls
it Philistinism. in that predominance
of the lower life, which is fed by
"bread aione." and the object of
which is livelihood or respectability
or comfort. Ii they quarrel among
themselves, if culture is apt to think
religion narrow or superstitious, and
religion on the other hand charges
culture with epicurianism or want o t
seriousness, that is because both have
the associations of their history stick
ing to them; because religion when
it appears in the econcre,e Is Christian
aud ecclesiastical, that is, predopi-
nantly moral in its spirit and some
what archaic in form, while culture
sprang up among literary men in re-
cen: times, and is therefore spick-
and-sp,n in its equipment of phrases
and treats morality somewhat lightly
compared with science and art. Such
differences are merely historical. and
the friction Of time wears them away.
The spirit of religion grows larger
and recollects its original affinity
with beauty and scientific truth; the
spirit of culture grows every day
more moral since the time when its
great master Goethe betrayed the
weak ess of his original conception
in the helpless want of sympathy
with which he regarded the first po-
htical struggles of reciving Germany.

two weeks ago an account of the burn

and after consultation with his law
yers and with Shearer, Sanford and
others, means were taken to ascertain
that he was in that vicinity, where

returning last Thursday evening and
placing his man in the county Jail.


There was to have been prelimi-
