The letter of resignation address. ed to the Douglas County Hayesand Wheeler Club by Hon. J. W. Gan- nett, one of tne vice-presidents of that organization, has created a pro- found sensation not only in the club, bat in this entire community. The reasons lassigned by Mr. Gannett for this step, and the sentiments ex~ pressed by him must meet the un- qualified approval of every Repubs liean who desires to elevate Repub- leanism to its former standard of honesty, decency and morality. In fact this letter should be accepted as a text for those who look to self- purificaaticn within the party as the means for bringing about the re- forms demanded by the people. The idea that any man no matter how vile his associations and how low his moral character should be accepted as a leader of the party be- cause he ean do dirty work is a proposition which every decent man will scout. The language used by Mr. Gaunett may be strong, but it strikes to the very root of the evil which has been sapping the foundation of the Republican party for six years past. It is in full accord with the letter of acceptance of Governer Hayes, who struck a deadly blow at par- tizan bummerism when he declared that under his administratian every federal employe will be expected to devote his entire time to his official duties. Every honest Republican must eoncede that the causeof Hayes and Wheeler cannot be advanced by pandering to grog shop politi- cians or by the elevation of noto- rious shysters to the leader- ship of organizations which have JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Crops in this locality never were better, and whileall uther crops are very good indeed, the prospects for an abundant yield of corn Is exceed- ingly fine. FAIRBURY the county seat of Jeferson is in many respects the most business ported over the U. P. railroad at rates which are satisfactory to mas- ter Jay Gould & Co. This is one of the counties where corn is worth only ten cents per bushel, and coal $12per ton. As a consequence; the people are burning corn for fuel be- cause they are unable to satisfy the demands of the monopolizing rail- roads. The farraers and merchants are very ready to explain how the B & M. and U. P. R. R. combined to prevent their Narrow Gauge, and Benator Hitchcock and his organ come in for a very large share of blame in their defeat. It is not the feelings of a couple of individuals, but is the conviction of outraged jus- tice to the population of half a dozen counties which condemns the course of the Honorable Senator with the Omaba Republican In conspiracy with the confederate mouthpiece, the Herald in oppsing the peoples railroad. ‘Wktether there will be any re- newed effort to build the road, your correspondent is unable to say, but that if built it would pay, there is not a doubt. Thousands of bushels of corn are now burned that could be exchanged for coal or wood. Omaha would be the gainer since the traftic of twelve counties would be doubled or quadrupled in a year.

Benator Caperton. A part of the impeachment court has gone to West Virginia to attend the funeral of the deceased Senator. Africanus, has again been heard from, and, as usual, he has fought numerous battles with African savages, in which he has always managed to achieve glori- ous victories. If you don’t believe all these stories, you had better take a teip to Central Africa to ver- ity them. REPENTANCE 1s always in order with political sinners, but when wicked political conspirators like Boss Cunningham and Tom. Ken- nard mount the mourner's bench, honest people are forced to doubt the sincerity of thelr motives. And this is why the Republican commit= tee shelved Tom Kennard's resolu- tions of repentance, which denoun- ced the last apportionment as untair and inequitable. That apportion- ment was a job put up by Yost, Cunningbam & Co., and the people will hardly thank them for their hypocritical repentance at this late day. THE editor of the Republican, is a constitutional falsifier. Yesterday he telegraphed to his paper that Rosewater was an interloper at the meeting of the Republican State Central Committee in the face of the fact that his own paper has for weeks kept a call at the head of its editorial columns, in which Rose- ‘water is advertised as a member of the committee. To-day this shameless falsifier has the brazen impudence to say that Mr. Millard expressed a willingness at the meeting of the Republican State Central Committee to submit the question of the legitimacy of one of the two Douglas County Central Committees to the arbitration of that body. We dare bim to pro- duce such & statement over Mr. Millard’s sigoature. Everybody who was present at that meeting knows that Mr. Millard most em- phadically declined to submit to ar- bitration, and he denied the author- ity of the State Central Committee to take any action in the matter. Boss Cunningham is also quoted b+ the Republican as favoriug the J-Oposed arbitration, provided both 1 rties should accept the arbitra- vomt. This is equally false. Boss « wningbum, as well as Mr, Mil- 1. +d, disputed the jurisdietion of the « mmittee, and even if he had pre- 1-uded to favor this arbitrament, 1is pretense would bave been a 1 ansparent sham, inasmuch as Mil- | rd bad publicly onjected to the ar- 4 iration, giving ps one of his reas- s that the Hitcheogk faction were tion of those who, from various causes, have become dissatisfied with our party. This class of Re- publicans will accept the letter of Mr. Ganaett and the action of the Douglas county club as a harbinger of better days, and of a republican- ism which does not descend to the gutter for the sake of making voles, A Douaras County Republican propounds the following question to us: “Why was Lancaster county allowed fifteen delegates to the next Rejublican State Convention while Douglascounty only bas fourteen 2" This is a pertinent question and we therefore propose to answer it. The apportionment for the State Convention was made upon the basis of the Republican vote polled for Mr. Holmes one of the univer- sity regents elected in October 1875. Mr. Holmes was selected because the vote polled for him appeared to be nearer to the average Republican vote than that of any other candi- date. It was however tacitly agreed by the apportionment com- mittee, whenever & very material discrepancy appeared between the vote polled by Holmes in any coun- tv, as compared with other candi- dates, the representation of that county should be regulated by the average vote of the six regents. It s0 happened that Laucaster was the only county whereina very material discrepancy did occur. In that county three of the regents, in- cluding Holmes, polled over 2,000 votes, while the three others polled only between 1,500 and 1,600 each. The committee, therefore, averaged the entire vote, and this gave Lan- caster thirteen delegates. After this had been agreed on, Tom Kennard put in a claim for two more votes, on the ground that Lancas,er should have the benefit of her heavy vote for Holmee. This unreasonable demand was resisted by the editor of the B who was & member of the apportionment committee, but inasmuch as Mr. Millard, who also represented, or rather misrepresented Douglas coun- ty in theapportionment committee, consented to Kennard’s demand, the committee finally concedea what everybody recognized as an in- Jjustice to the other counties. Mr. Millard’s course 1n this matter a8 in the matter of the proposed arbi- tration for Douglas county seemed purely in the interest of Hitehcock. Boss Cunningham expects to carry Laucaster county_for Hitehcock, hence Millara was willing to give Lancaster county more than she was justly entitled to. And this is why Douglas county has been put below Lancaster i the new appor- tionmrent. With this single excep- tion the new apportionment is fair and equitable to all sections of the State, and we have no doubt will give universal satisfaction. TiLDEN and Hendricks are hav- ing another consultation over their forthcoming letters of acceptance. Hendricks, who is naturally soft, is said to have finally yielded to the pressure of Tilden, and he will come out in favor of hard money. If he does, the soft-money Democracy of Indiana will be disgusted and completely demoralized, while the hard money Democracy of New York will look upon his professed change of heart as a plece cf con- temptible jugglery. — Tae Democratic congressional caucus has decided in favor of the proposed repeal of the resumption act. It is, however, mtimated that this action will not be considered as binding by the Tilden wing of the party, who have heretofore opposed such a measure as a step toward in- flation. It now remains to be seen whether the Hendricks wing will be able to whip in these rebels. | CaBur advices from Constanti- nople intimate that the latest sick man of Turkey is dying, and an- other incumbent will soon vceupy the throne from which, the Ia lamented abdul Aziy future.

DAvID CITY, NEB., July 26, ~ Eight years ago the population of this county could be numbered by less than a score of families. At the present time 1t is estimated that it contains a population of 5,550. Coansidering that it is an inland county, with nothing to enhauce its value except the intrinsic merit of soil and climate, the increased num- ber of population is remarkable- The crop of wheat s very nearly cut and stacked. Barley and rye also awaits the thresher. Oats in many portions are later and the farmers have a week more of busy work to save a splendid harvest of small grains. There are many fields of flax in the county, and some com- plaint is being made that the flax seed imported from the east has brought in the chinch bug. At any rate the chinch. bug 1s in this county, although no real danger is reported by any party. The serious drawback to this county is its dis- tance from a market and want of transportation for wood or coal It is in this county and others ad- joining where one can resalize the meanness of the opponents to the proposed Narrow Gauge railroad.

Zo Datus C. Brooks, Editor of Re- publican : ‘When you arrived in Omaha to take charge of the Repubiican, it was hoped by the betler class of citizens that a better era in journal- ism would dawn on the city. One of your first editorials was full of professions of your intentions to avoid personalties, and furnish a paper fit to be read in Chnstian amulies. Our faith in your houesty of intention was somewhat strained to be sure, for you in that very same editorial called a rival editor a “skunk.” ¥rom that very hour you Jowered the tone of the paper from what it had been in the hands of Hon. Ben. H. Bariows, until oue of the friends of the paper wrote a letter to you, which you published, protesting against filling the paper with vile epithets agast political opponents, to which letter you repled, apolo- gized and promised to reform. Then the respectable Republicans, thinking that you were really sin- cero and would reform, bore in silence what had passed and hoped on. But now, after several months of trial, what have we to expect? The Chicago Zimes in the years that have passed has had at times an unenviable reputation for slandering respectable citizens, but I defy any man to produce a copy of the Chicago Zimes, equal in the vileness of its attacks upon personal charaeter to the paper you issued on last Wednesday morning. In the first place you gave the use of your columns to & name- less wretcn whom ninety-five respectable citizens of Omaha last night branded as ‘‘the worst political shyster, that has dis- graced the state of Nebraska,” and allowed him in the journal which you control, to accuse me of being infected with a ioathsome disease. Now, Mr. Brooks, I defy you to point ‘o so infamous a thing in the history of journalism. Point to the case, if you can, where any other newspaper in the United Staies ever Lecome so degraded as to accuse publicly a pastor of a church of such infamous things upon the unsup- ported word of such a man. No, sir; Datus C. Brooks is the ouly editor who ever sank so low, and the Omaha Republican is the only paper that has ever become so totai- Iy depraved as to be the channel for such vileness to flow in. As to the accusations of the other writer, everybody of & year's resi- dence in this city knows them to be false. Many persons around your office, 1f not yourself, know them to be false As a specimen, he says that I preferred charges against a Rev. Mr. White, which is infamously false. I never preferred charges against him. The charges were presented by one of the pre- siding elders, Rev. Mr. Pritchard, and I was appointed counsel by a vote of the annual conference to prosecute him. For these infamous Iibels you are personally responsible by your editorial endorsements, The result is that all respectable men are fleeing from the political faction to which you belong, and, Christian men; if they handle the vilesheet you edit at all, are inclin- ed to use & pair of tongs Yours truly, T.

Last week Mr. Sickles, chief en- gineer of the Union Pacific accom- puanied by Mr. Pontez, the com- pany’s chemist and several other genilemen made a practical exam- ination of the Wyoming soda lakes near Laramie. The Laramie Sen- tinel says: M. Sickles had an im- plement for boring through and as- certaining the amount, aud one of the lakes was tested by boring a hole through the solid soda in four different places. It was found to average about eight feet in thick- ne: This lake contains about sixty acres. There are two others yet to be exammed. A rough es- timate of the quantity shows that it would yeeld five hundred tons per week for nine years. ‘This, with the fact too that it is all the time forming faster than it could be hauled away by the U. P. R. R. seems (o us a sufficient quantity to start on. The question of the Soda Reduc- tion Works is now only waiting the arrival of President Dillon to com- plete the arrangements and com- mence operations. The gentlemen who own the Soda Lakes, have made a proposition to Mr. Sickles, which, we believe is a fair one, and will probably be satisfactory to the company, and, 1t is believed, there is now no obstacle to a speedy pros- ecution of the work. Mr. sickles thinks the furnaces can be built, and the whole thing put m operatior, in from 60 to 90 days. The works will probably be built on_the river, perhaps up near the tie flume, where it will be con- venient to water and lime stone. 1t is thought that a manutactory of this kind would be able to utilize a good deal of convict labor of the penitentiary, 1n such portions of the operations as does not require-skilled labor It thiscould be brought about, it would make it a matter of public interest to the whole Territory.
