LAMPOONING THE PRESIDENT. Mr, Arthur does not want the presi- dency, Re:ently—very recantly—he has o w the conclusion that it has no charm for him. He is tired of political life, tired of its joys, perplexities and disappointments, He is seeking rest and w0 80on as his present leaso of the White House shall have expired he will return to the sanctity of private life which.he so ardently desires. Back to the classic shades of New York he will go—to the scenes of his boyhood—to the arms of his‘boon eompanions—to Steve French, Johnny O'Brien and Tom Platt, to spend the evening of his life making the boys lay down a five full with a bob-tail flush. —Omaha Republican, There is nota manly ‘man in all Ne- braska, lot his politics be what they may, who will not feel hischeeks burning with indignant shame that any paper in this stato should indulge in such mean, mal- icions and uncalled for slurs upon the president of the United States. In every line a white-livered lio and in every sentence & cowardly stab. Can anything be moae despicable or villain- ous? Whatis [there that Chester A Arthur has said or done that could justify such indecent assaults at this time? Where is there another paper, in all America, democratic or republican, that has treated the president so shamefully? What provocation has the Republican for its course 1 There certainly has been nothing said by any man or paper friend- 1y to the president that could in the loast pallinte much less justify such venom- There has been no attempt in any quarter to defame or belittle the Repub- lican's preferred candidate for President. On the contrary, James G. Blaino has received the most courteous and generous treatment from every republican editor or paper whatever [may have been their preferences. There has been a disposition manifest- ed on all hands to respect the choice of evory man whojis§wiliing to rally under republican colors in the coming national campaign, The Republican alone of all party journals has shown s malignant, bitter and relentless apirit of partizan- ship and factionisma that cannot fail to repol and disgust thinking men of all factions. 8o far as Chester A. Arthur is concerned he needs no defense at our hands. Every republican from Maine to Oregon has endorsed his concilliatory conservation clean Whoether he is endorsed (at Chicago by a nomination or returned to private life at the end of his term, every fair minded man will concede that he made a digni- fied and safe chief magistrate, Whoever not least, the active and cordial cooper- ation ot Chester A, Arthur and Lis ad- ministration. Tar refusal of the Towa democrats at the recent convention to take up the fight against prohibition is pretty significant. 1t shiows that the large element in the party which has always been secretly or openly opposed to taking any position on tha liquor question has at last got control. When the convention to nominate candi- dates meets next fall, this element may again be in subjection, but in the mean- time the effect of the action at Burlington will not be lost.

Isaac NewroN Arnowp, who died in Chicago Thursday afternoon, was & man of remarkable and distinguished career. He played a very important part in the early political history of the state, and was one of the founders of the Republican party. He settled in Chicago in 1836, when 21 years of age, and continued a prominent figure in the history of the city to his death, In his early life he became imbued with the principles of the Abolitionists, and in 1848 supported the *‘ Free Soil” movement in the Weat. Owing to his efforts Cook county was carried by the F'ree soilers by a large majority and the foundation of the ag- gressive antagonism to slavery which brought about the nomination of Lincoln was laid. 1In 1842 he had been elected a member of the Illinois Legislature and he wasreturned againin1855. He wasan early friend of Abraham Lincoln, worked hard for his nomination in 1860, and to him, as much as to any one mun, belongs the honor of that achievement. The same year he was elected to Congress, and con- tinued throughout the war to serve in the lower house us the able and energetic supporter of all the president's measures, convention | at the same time advising and supporting Mr. Lincoln as his private friend.

It extended all over the territory, Soon after the destruction of Lawrence, Kansas, by Quantrell's band, sav- eral persons in Omaha received anonymous ltters, warning them to look out tor a similar attack, This eaused some little unensiness, A considerable amount of money and valuables had been sent to Omaha for safe-keeping, and the banks at that time hald more than the usual amount of money. Some of the citizens feared that the gueritlas di guised as Indians might make a raid on the city, Just about thistime several bands of Sioux Indians were roaming over the territory, and a large band sppeared on the west side of the Elkhorn river, about whore Waterloo is looated, The settlers be- cawe frightened, and came into Omaha, and vhe Indians appropriated their cattle and horses, and everythiug else of value, but did no violence, The appesrance of the sottlers in Omaha at an early hour in the morning caused the most intense excitement, Business was utirely suspended during the dav, and a meeting was held at the court howse, Before sunset every man in the city was armed and equipped, and prepared to meet the enemy in defenne of his fawily and his property. The civy was well guarded at every point. Many of the citizens flad to Council Bluffs for safe- ty, and remained there until the scare subsid- od. At this time roving band, of Indfans were committing depredations and murder all throuch the Platts valley, and the people had #ood ranson for being scared. Governor Saun- ders called out two regiments of mouated mili- tiamen. Billy Hughes was the adjutant-goneral who issued the goveruor’s call for troops, Kach regiment was composed of six companies, of 4 mon each, ‘I'ho commanding officors of all North Platte companies were to 1eport to Brigadier General O, P, Hurford, of Omaha, and thoso of the South Platte companies to Colonel 2. P, Mason, then of Nebraska City. The term of service was to be tour months Under this call seven companies orgaized, four of them being formed in Omahs. R, T. Beall was captain of one, John Taffe of an- other, Churley Goodrich of the third, and Josse Lowe of the fourth. A gun equad was wlso organized with E. P, Uhlhl a8 captain, and A, J. Simpson as first lieute! All of these companios wero more of & home guard than anything else. Jesse Lowes company, “D,” was called the gray-veard company, on account of it being almost entirely composed of old men, In addition to this Adjutant General Hogkes, by order of the commander- in-chief, Governor Saunders, issued an order vhut all uble bodied men in the territory, be- twoen the ages of 18 ana 45, who did not be- long to some militia company, should euroll themselves and form companies In the latter purt of August Captain, Tuilo’s company of fty mounted men lsft Omuha to nunish some Indians who had driven off about 20 head of cattlo near Forest City belonging to Edward Creighton and Edward Loveland. Jptain Taffe soon learned that the cattle had been unintentionally stampeded by some friendly Owmahas upon their return from their annual hunt and that most of the cattle had been re- covered. Captain Taffe then made a recon- naissance for some little distance up the Elk- horn, but finding mo hostile Indians he returned to Omaha about the 1st of September. ‘This expedition proved that no hoatiles had been anywhere mnear Omaha, and the scure subsiding, the settlers returned to their farms, The fear of a rmd on Omaha vy guerillas was still entertuined, however, aud a strict vigilanos was maintained for #ome little time. The home guards were drilled every day from four to six o'clock in the afwornoon, and_ places of business gene- rnls' were closed during those hours. Captains Tuffe, Goodrich and Beall were ordered to attend to the enrollment of all persons sub- ject to military duty. Captain Besll had command of the city's militia force, and kept the city under guard,” . ——*About the time tho Indian scaro was subsiding in and around Omahs,” continued Judge Porter, after ho had lit a fresh. civar, “General Curtis, who was conduotiog the gen- oral Indian campalgn on the Nebraska fron- tier, made a call on Governor Ssunders for mounted men.

The Omaha Republican, Friday, pub- lished an editorial headed::*Plain words to Arthur,” which for poor teste, indis- creet utterance, arogance of style exceeds anything of the kind we have ever seen in Nebraska journalism. The eause for this intemperate article grew out of the First district in which sat a considerable number of Arthur men, and which fact had acaustic effect on the Rupublican editor. It is certainly not good republi- can generalship to denounce Mr. Arthur'’s friends in Nebraska as ‘*Arthur sonspira- tors,” because they goto conventions, nor to rave 8o frantical.y over the defeat of Broatch, Douglas county’s candidate, and the Republican’s candidate,.when it is known—positively known—that Broatch is an Arthur man. Why sll this hypocrisy, fuss and feathers? & the re- publican is for Blaine, as it says it is, and has got its Blaino delegates to Ghicazc all safely housed, as it says it has, then it should be satisfied, aud not ‘ges o nad over its own good fortune and.: splendid victory. r.

But a little less wind and o greater flbod of proof of such corrupt in- thuence will go turther with the people han Mr. Nye's accusations.
