M. Jomxsox, C. H. Gxex, Chairman. Secretary DouaLAS county shéuld be repre- sented by her very best men in the Republican State Convention, and it is to be hoped delegates wiil bear this in mind. BENATOR ALLEN G. THURMAN must be thoroughly disgusted with that wonderful mixture of absurdi- ties which has been adopted by the Ohio Democracy as the financial plank of their platform. While Thurman has always favored early return to a solid specie basis, the Democratic Convention declared in favor of greenbacks and national bank carrency and free banking on & paper basis. W. M. Francis, Esq., is an- nounced by his friends as a candi- date for the office of Distriet Attor- ney for this district. Mr. Francis as been a resident of Douglas coun- ty during the past three years, and is well known as an active and true Republican. He has a law practice, extending over & period of five years, and for the past two yearshe hasbeen a law partner of General Estabrook, with ‘whom he is now associated. Prior to locating in Omaha, Mr. Francis has enjoyed a thorough course of reading, a part of which was with Judge Crounse. Possessed of ex- cellent qualifications and influen- tial backing, Mr. Francis enters the Jist with a very fair prospect. — OxE plank in the Kansas Repub- can platform should commend itself foreibly to Repuclicans in Nebras- ka. It reads asfollows : Resolved, That the peril of the government lies not so much in high ambitions ss in low dishones- and the pressing duty of the ties, is to secure hon it ~ blic lervI:? Wepg;lmy- mend the courage of the Republi- 1n instifuting investiga- corruj s in office, sparing fiknr::rl‘oes,mziwedo- n as will bring ACCORDING to Redfield’s postal organ there are not a half a dozen ,Republicans in Omaha that believe in Postmaster Yost's guilt. This would simply imply that the Re- of Douglas County are elther all knaves or all idiots, and our intimate acquaintance with them enables us to declare that they belong to meither of these classes. The fact is that Hitehcock has KANsAs Republicans, in their platform, pronounce most emphati- cally against a third term for Presi- dents. Nebraska Republicans will doubtless fullow their example. — THE impending political cam- paign in Nebraska is destined to become very interesting and diver- sified. Already we have had calls for State Conventions from four po- litical organizations, and the cry is still they come. A fifth political party has just taken the field and promulgated its call. A People’s State Convention is to be held at Lincoln, on the 7th of September. Inasmuch as we are not familiar with theaims of the leaders of this latest departure, it would be impose to prognosticate ifs effect upon the political chess-board. It is very gratifying, however, that the dear people will have such a variety of | tickets to choose from. THE apologists and strikersof the postal ring are resorting to every possible subterfuge to prevent an honest expression of sentiment on the part of the Repuhlicans at the coming county convention. Their chief argument is that it i3 not within the province of political conventions to give expression of their views touching the misman- agement of public officers. Now we claim that it is not only the province, but the duty of such conventions to dis- approve and eondemn the acts of public men who'have in any man- ner disgraced the party. Such has been universally the practice all over the Union. In the city of Toledo a Républican eonvention,not more than six weeks ago, passed res- olutions denouncing the conduct of Congressman Sherwood in appoint- ing an odious and corrupt person as postmaster, and those resolutions | were carried to the Congressional Convention, and Congressman Sher- wood was defeated for renomina- tion. Now it is mot proposed to carry the Omaha postal case to the Btate Convention, but it is emin- ently proper that Douglas county Republicans express their disap- proval of postal whitewashing and the 1emoval of honest officials for their fidelity to the public service. Tae good people of Cheyenne County will doubtless be surprised to learn that they are indebted for their political preponderance in the various State Conventions to & prin- ter'sbull. On the 10th day of June, ‘when the BEE published the official copy of the State census of 1874, a printer’s bull was made by the typo in crediting Cheyenne County with 1449 inhabitants instexd of 449 as shown in Secretary Gosper’s certi- fied copy. The mistake was discov- ered and corrected in the next issue of our daily,but this did not prevent the Omaha Republican and all oth- er State papers from embodying the original bull in their census column. It is evident thatthe cairman and secretary of the Republican State Central Committe who were charged with making the estimates of representation for each county according to the basis agreed upon by the committe, made their calula- tions upon the erroneous figures in the printed census reports. Thus Cheyenne county was credited with three delegates to the State con- vention, when n fact they are only entitled to one delegate. The same error has been propa- | gated through all the calls issued by the various political parties; and Cheyenne county is thus indebted to some careless printer in the BEE office for her political preponderance. The Germans and the Republican Party. |Communicated.] LiNcoLy, August 28, EDITOR BEE: The Omaha Herald of yesterday contained a communication dated, Lincoln, August 25, in which T find the following sentence: “THE DUTCH TOOK HOLLAND.” The “Dutch took Holland,” and the Germans are going to take the Republican State Convention and compel tnem to aominate one of their nationality for Secretary of State, or they are going to secede from the party. They have sent forth their proclamation to this effect, and are going to stand by it. Hon. Bruno Tzehuck, of Sarpy, a member of the last legislature 1s the most prominent man mentioned, and will go into the convention with a large vote pledgad to him. Dr. F. Renuer, of the Staats Zei- tung, is also spoken of. The doc- tor 18 backed by a strong combina- tion, and will not only makea close fight in the convention, but will cast-a bigger vote in the State than any other man they can nominate, for he is well and favorably known throughout the State.

If the Coyven- tion will not.or eannot fulfil these reasonable demandsof the Germans, you may be sure they will leave the Repubiican. party en m.assc, and vote the ticket of the opposition. But, Mr. Editor, 1 know one thing more, and that is, if Dr. Fr. Renner is nominated as secretary of state, it will materially help the Democrats to elect their candidate for this office, for the Doctor is well known throughout the S‘ate, not to be fit, nor to have the charac- ter to fulfil this .

Has he a cldmp‘;l:; the ican party, Mr. Editor? In the middle of the campaign of 1872, he turned his German paper, the_ Staats Zeitung over to the enemy, viz: the Liberal party, and it isonly a few weeks ago that 1, through the columns of this paper, most em- ly declared to be a ral in politics snd prineiple. is y & German in this State-who has so often represented to be a candidate of the German element, before the d:fferenit polifi- MONTANA. The Valiey of the Yellowstone— The National Park—View of the Geysers—Omaha Mer- chants—Montana Gold Mines, Ete. Correspondence of the BEE. BozEMAN, M. 1., Aug. 14. EDITOR OMAHA BEE: On the morning of August 11th we took a conveyance for the Mam- moth Springs in the geyser coun- try. For the first 15 miles we passed ' through a mountainous country, over low passes and then reach the Yellowstone valley and pass up the valley to the Mammoth Springs, here words would fail to convey the idea of the scenery that meets the eye. 1n looking towards the mountains we see mountains of steam ascending from the springs that reach from the valley to near the summit of tAe®ntains. Near by we see what is called the i- men mountain; here we find all kinds of beautiful crystals and petrifications and lime formations that would be an ornament to any cabinet. If people m the States knew what grand scenery and curi- osities were to be found here, and so easily reached, it seems to me that hundreds would avail themselves of the opportunity and see the greatest L. wonders of the world. ~ These springs are distant from Bozeman some thirty mlles, and a good road all the way. The geyser country lays some forty-five miles distant from hereand will accesssible with wagons by another year. We found many visitors going and coming to the wonder land. Owing to some stir among the noble red man, our party seemed to weaken on going to the Geysers, although many were on their w: there and assured us that there was no danger whatever from Indians, as they seem to have great fears of that part of the country, and think this is the abode of the evil spirit. On the morning of the 13th of August we retraced our steps and made our way towards Bozeman, arriving there in the evening. Bozeman is a_beautiful village of some 600 inhabitants, situated be- tween two mountains and near the head of the Gallatin river, or where the river passes through the moun- tains. 'We found snow visihle on the mountains on either side of the village, and the weather was rather cool, especially in the morning. Here at Bozeman we met two Omaha men, viz: 8. R. Johnson, of the firm of Steele &Jonhson, and C. C. Housel, of the firm of f). C. Housel & Co., who are looking over the country and seem to be well pleased with Montana. On the morning of August 14th we taok seats in the coach of P. rk & Co., at 4. o'clock, and started for Helena, going down the valiey of the West Gallatin, arriving at Cock- rell’s ranch for breakfast at 8 o’clock A. M. Proceeding on our way we found ourselves st Gallgtin Ojty at 11 o’clock A. M. Changed harsgs at Shedd’s ranch, and crossing the bridge across the Jefferson river we are in sight of the camping ground of Lewis & Clark, who camped here on this spot in the year1802. Leav- ing the Jeferson valley we pass over low foot hills and mountainous country, reaching Radersburg for dinner, some 54 miles from Boze- man. This place Is in Crow Creek valley, and is sarrounded by placer mines’ and some excellent quartz mines, one of which is be- ing worked very sugpessfully by Messrs, Keating & Blacker, who have a mill running, reducing the ores. Passing from here nine miles over the most picturesque moun- tains, we reach Springville, a small village supported by the Indian Creek placer mines, which, for want of water, are not worked much at present. Looking to the east, we see tho Misouri river and Deep Creek valley, the most beautifal valley we ever saw. This valley has some very fine filds of wheat, oats, and barley, that will be ripe enough to cut by thie 25th of August. Diamond City is about fifteen miles from Springville, ad is situated in a canon or guleh of the mountains, and near Confederate Gulch, noted for the immense amount of gold taken out of it by means of hy- draulics. From this place we travel over a rough road 88 milesto Helena, ar- riving at8 o’clock p. m., making 110 miles since 4 a. m., tired enough to take to our bed for the night at the St. Louis hotel, kept by mine host Samuel Schwab: More anon. DIvER. Miles of Silence and Death, In the northwest corner of San Bernardino county, lying partly also in Inyo county, and by the newly surveyed line partly also in the state of Nevada, is a region paral- leled by few other spots on this earth. 'We say the world is instinet with life. Here, if the phraseology may be pardoned, is a place instinet with death. A huge basin, whose rim is the ancient hills, stricken with the barienness of desolation ; whose bosom the blasted waste of treeless, shrubless and waterless, save a few bitter pools like the Iye of potash water; sur- rounded by mountains that fower of feetabove the sea level, ng 300 feet below the sea. It is a very “Gehenna’”—a place of death and bones. Birds do not fly over it, Animals de not enter it. Vegetation cannot exist in it. ‘The broad sands absorb the heat, the bare mountains reflect it, the unclouded sun daily adds to it. Ninety de- grees in the shade (artificial shade, there is no other), means winter; 130° and 140°, that is summer. The hot air grows hotter, wavers, trembles with heat, until nature, goaded to madness, can endure no more; and then the burning blast rouses itself—rouses in its might— rouses as an angry beast, and with ahoarse, ominous whisper, sweeps mile after mile, on, ever on—over the broad reach of the desert, bear- ingin its black, whirling bosom— black as the midnight—dust and death. Sometimesa murky cloud gathers upon the mountains above; then there is a rush—a warning sigh on the winds—low rumbling in the air; the hills quiver, the earth trembles, and a torrent, half water, {nlf mud, bounds dflom"‘the hills, leaps into the desert, plowin; chasms like river beds in the loo-i sand. The clouds seatter, the sun comes again—the eternal thirst of the desert is not quenched. Thera- ging river is only a dream. In the year 1849 a of emi- grants entered the . Day after day they toiled on, thirsting, dying. The pitiless mountains walled them in; no escape.

Laborers are receiving $4.00, per day in the San Juan mines. The hotels at Idaho Springs are crowded with visitors and invalids, and large numbers are camping in the vicinity. ‘Work is progressing rapidly on the Gemgetowlx)x, Empire and Middle Park wagon road. Carrriages can be driven to the pass in a few days. The Indians in their late raid took 265 head of horses, ran off some cat- tle, and killed four men of John Cisum’s ranch. Not a horse was left on the ranch. The importations of blooded stock into Colorado this season are very large, and show the growing interest taken by our stock men 1n the improvement of their herds. The Hayden exploring expedition while rambling in the “Garden of the Gods,” measured, by lead and line, the hight of one of the red- rock gate posts to the garden, and found it to be 335 feet. Nothing tetler than that in the world of architecture. Although the Colorado crops have been considerably damaged in some sections of the Territory, by the ravages of the grasshoppers, yet the field, as a whole, will be most satisfactory. That the loss should fall on the few will all the more be regretted, from the fact that they may be illy prepared to endure it. If, however, the loss could be shared by all its effects would not be felt 80 seriously, Talk about your big potato pateh- | es in the States, as much as you | can beat one little patch a fow miles from Denver. .The owner is pop- ularly known as “Potato Clark,” but who's correct cognomen is Rufus Clark. He has one hundred and fifty acres of potatoes, which will produce from 25,000 to 80,000 bushels, Mr. Clark has expended over $2,000 to prevent the ravages Peak last Thursday, & man by the name of Morrison, Who was making the desgent, lost his way, and in his wanderings fell intoa chasm_ twen- ty-five feet deep. came so wedged in between the rocks that it was impossible for him to extricate him self, and in this remained until Saturday night, when he was found and brought to Manitou. Fortunately his pockets contained two slices of bread and ment, which was his only food during the period mentioned. A band of Sjoux ahout ten days ago committed an outrage near the eastern line of the territory, that has rarely been equalled im barbari- ty. They caught four unfartonate lahorjng men that were going from town to town in search of work on the Atehison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, and,after butchering them, scalped and’ otherwise mutilated two, and burned the hearts out of the others. They then burned the railroad Lridge near Aubrey station. The bodies of seven, a few days af- terwards, were brought into Dodge City, supposed to have been mur- dered by the same band. —— A block of gold ore, three feet wide, seven feet long, weighing twelve thousand pounds, and worth several bundred dollars per ton, 'was thrown out by a blast, Friday, in the far-famed Gregory mine, which, it isasscmed, is the strongest and richest gold lode in the country. Efforts were made by the miners, says the Central Register, to raise the enormous bloek to the surface intact, but even after it had under- gone a good deal of trimming, it was found too large to admit of being raised through the shaft, and too heayy to he safely entrusted to the hoisting apparatus. The mass ‘was so shattered as to destroy 1ts value a8 & specimen. % NEVADA. Eight furnaces are now in opera tion at Eureka, There are six subordinate Lodges of the Knights of Pythias in the State, with a membership of 305. The amount of money received in aid of the Eureka sufferers was $7,424.47; amount paid out,$7,222.25. A large body ot snow still lies on the range of mountams southeast of Dayton, and the advance of the season has but little apparent effect upon it. CALIFORNIA. Sterra valley waswisited by heavy frosts last week. Fruit is said to be going sadly to waste in Yolo county. Over 14,000 persons have arrived in the State by rail since the 1st of April. The Vallejo boot factory is now employing about twenty-two hands, nearly half of whom are females. The fruit-drying factory at Cen- terville is running night and day, working principally upou plums and peaches. The fruit-drying enterprise _in Vacaville promises success. The | two evaporators now in operation dry about thirty-five tons of green fruit per day. The Sacramento Smelting Works have now one furnace running, and the other will be probably in_opera- | tion in about ten days. The re- fining furnaces will be ready for work next week. At Gold Run, on ‘the Central Pacific railway, some fifteen or twenty families have been using wild coffee (so called) as a substi- tute for the imported article, and announce that it tastes like Costa Rica coffee. In the highest of the Sierras, Fres- no county, where timber abounds, fully one-third of the pine trees have in places been struck by light- ning this season, and in some parts acre after acre of enormous pines have been prostrated by the fury ot the storms that have prevailed there this season. OREGON. Eastern capitalists propose estab- lishing a National Gold Bank at Sa- lem. The woolen factory at Ashland ‘will commence operations in ear- nest under its new proprietors, Mar- shall and Goodchild, about the last of August. Henry P. Avkeny, the largest cheese maker in Marion county and Oregon, is now milking 135 cows and making 200 pounds of cheese daily. The Farmers' wharf-at Astoria, when completed, will be the largest ‘wharf north of San Francisco. This does not include the roadway, which is 600 feet long, and can be used for ‘Wharfage purposes.

The vine crop in the Rio Grande valley, this year, it is expected will be larze in yield and of excellent quality. Don Salvader Arinijo, of Albu- querque, harvested 54 fanegas of wheat this season from one fanega ot seed. While the reed weighed omiy 170 pounds per fanega, the vield reached 172 pounds for the same measure, The Regimental Flag says the only remedy New Mexico has to getrid of her Indian troubles is to organize companies of independent Rangers and wage a war of ‘exter- mination” against all hostile tribes and therr allies, the Quaker agents and commissioners, who ought to be hung wherever found.
