o. Htate CoreHlIoH. , From Thureday't- - Extra. At S o'clock yosterday evening the convention was called to order by J. "W. Dawes, Chairman of State Central Committee, and, on motion of J. C. Cowin of Omaha, seconded by Slaughter of Nance aud Bier-bow- er of Cheyenne, G. W. Collins of Pawnee was elected temporary chairman. Cropsey of Lancaster and "Web- ster of Omaha were appointed a committee to wait upon Mr. Collins and conduct him to the chair. Upon being introduced, he said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention : I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hon- or conferred upon me. I hope that in our deliberations here the utmost harmony will prevail and that it will be such a harmony as to be an example for all other states in the Union. I Lope, too, that whatever the result of our deliberations shall be that there is not a republican in the Stato of Nebraska but will heartily endorso the action of the Chicago convention." J. D. Evans of Clay, D. A. Brain-ar- d of Boone and A. E. Cady of Colfar were elected lemporary sec- retaries. A committee on credentials was appointed, consisting of Webster of Douglae, Stout of Saline, Marsh of Clay, T&lraer of Cass, Majors of Nemaha, Ztschuck of Sarpy, Cornish of Polk, Thummel of Hall, RIes of Lincoln, Earheart of Stanton, and Bruner of Cuming. A committee of live on resolutions consisting of Cropsy of Lancaster, Slaughter of Nance, Cowan of Doug- las, Nye of Dodge and Laird of Adams. The committee on permaneut or- ganization: Teft of Cass, Caldwell of Nuchols, Cawkins of Buffalo, Brown of Douglas, Wilson of John- son. While tho committees were out several gentlemen were called upon for speeches Luird, Cowen, Thurs- ton, VauWyck, Green, Chase, Ruse-wate- r, Nye, Brooks, Collins, Van-dervoo- rt, Ballou, Mitchell, Hawes and Crabb responding in neat short speoches which we have not the space to report at length. Laird, in former days, bad been engaged in business in a small way, with Gen. Grant at the head of the partnership, and he didn't feel dis- posed to turn his back on him now. Cowen considered Blaine as great in other fields as Grant was in his. Thurston said the Rcpublicau party will stand by the man chosen as the standard bearer whoever he may bo, but bis pergonal preference was for such a man as could and would be elected and seated, if elected. VanWyck, without Indicating his preference, pronounced Grant the first of American aoldlers.and Blaine tb.o first of American statesmen. Mr. Green declared for Grant, but believed that the parly would be successful, no matter who lead it. Col. Chase knew by the intelligent look of the convention, that it would act wisely and well. It became Re- publicans to do their best this Fall, as the Democracy were terribly hungry for office. Let us fight till we agree, and then fight until we win the day against the common foe. The chairman Introduced Mr. Rosewater of the Bee as a little man who could say the most in a little time of any man in the state. He made a personal explanation as to his position in the convention, and as to his political record. He was for Blaine in '76, aud said if the sen- timent of the Republicans had been fairly represented at Cincinnati, the jealousies of rival candidates would not have prevailed over Blaine. He said the Blaine force was over- whelmingly in the majority in this convention, and be believed in so or- ganizing it as to select Blaine meu and no other for Chicago. Fred. Nye, of the Omaha Neva, Bald that for six years he bad been In favor of J. G. Blaine for presi- dent, and he expested to have an opportunity this fall to vote for him. Brooks of the Omaha Republican was in favor of that mode of pro- cedure which shall mean power and prestige to the State. The conven- tion expressed a decided dislike to this sentiment. Collins was particularly "strenu- ous" in his remarks. In speaking ot the nefarious treatment of the ne groes of the south by the exclave-holder- s, he Baid that If those fellows had studied their bible as they had studied hell and damnation down there, there wasn't one of them but would make s first-cla- ss missionary. Without any qualifying phrase whatever, he said that James G. Blaine was the ablest man that stands on God Almighty's earth, and if he was elected president and those fellows down south didn't behave themselves, U. S.Grant would knock the devil out of them. It mattered sot whether Blaine or Grant or Wasbburne was selected as the can didate, the other great men would sot be found skulking in their tents, but would stand at his back. Vandervoort was introduced as the best looking man in the State, and a square toed republican. His first choice was Grant, and be had so second choice. Mitohell was not one who believ- ed that the salvation of the couutry depended upon one man. He tho't Blaine was our best representative -- of republican policy, and the people. f Nebraska are overwhelmingly in 1 favor of him for president. The committee on credentials re- ported uncontested delegates as follows, their report beiug accepted. LIST Or DELEGATES.

A number of motions, counter- - motions, etc., were made in regard to the admission of certain dele- gates from Gage county, resulting in the admission of what was known as the Boggs delegation. At 1:15 a motion to adjourn was lost. It was moved by M. B. Reese that the contestants in Hitchcock county be allowed 15 minutes each to pre- sent their case, and that a vote then, be taken without debate. The dele gation represented by W. Z. Taylor was admitted. Nance county was disposed of by admitting as delegate B. D. Slaugh- ter. Webster of Douglas moved a re- cess of one hour. On motion to lay on the table, the counties were call- ed, and motion lost. At 2 :30 con- vention adjourned for onehour. The Blaine men retired for con- sultation. The Grant force held a caucus in the Hall. At 20 minutes to 4 a. m., the con- vention was called to order. On motion the temporary organi- zation was made permanent. Irvin of Pawnee moved the con- vention proceed to elect, viva voce, by counties, six delegates to Chicago. An amendment was offered that the vote be taken, by billot, by judi- cial districts beginuing with the first. The amendment was carried by a vote of 183 to 178, and the Grant men began to feel hopeful of some result in their favor, but were doom- ed to disappointment. On the original motion the vote stood 177 for and 185 against. On motion J. W. Dawes, J. E. Mitchell, L. Crounse, N. R. Persing-er- , Judge Gaslin aud D. A. Lewis were elected delegates to Chicago as Blaine delegates, again it J. S. Dew, C. H. Gere, D. Green, M. B. Reese, Ja9. Laird and V. Weaferfeldt as Grant delsgates by a vote of two to one.

Two brief article-- , have been pre- pared aud published, and Ictt stand ing in the Journal, relative in Nebraska, its advxutages and pro- ducts. One more short article must close the series for this teason. To persons who never saw a prai-r- ii couutry, to look over it is rather an interesting night ; as a general thing the absence of timber given to it tho appearance of waste and bar- renness to those who are accustomed to livo in a timbered country. Tim- ber of every kind common to this latitude can be cultivated on the prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa- ter courses and river bluff" a large quantity of trees are generally found growing in great luxuriance. Among the varieties found in such localities are cottonwood, box-elde- r, buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory, oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, wal nut, pine and cedar. The shrubs Include common juniper, pawpaw, prickly ash, sumacs, rod root, npin-dl- e tree, plum, currants and goose- berries, dogwood, butter bush, bunH-l- o berry, mulberry and hnclenut. Cedars are found on thu islands ot the Platte, and along the Loup, ami on the Niobrara there is a large quantity of pine. But the interesting point wo warn to make is the met that all tlil-yario- ty of treos will grow and fioni-is- h on the prairie, and that as much timber as may be ueeded by each farmer can bo raised on his farm. It is not a little surprising to know that the early travelers, and, among others, Gen. Fremont, should have formed the opinion that the prairies of Nebraska were a sandy deaort, unsuited for farming purposes, when in these times it has been examined by competent judges and pronounc-o- d without any hesitation to be a region which is to bo the great grain and stock-produci- ng area of the continent. Men don't make bread of sand, and they don't, &8 a genera thing, settle in such localities. The United States cover 23 degrees of latitude; away to tho frozen north, and down to the semi-trop- ic south. With all thi3 choice, from the be- ginning of westorn settlement tho great current of movement has been within a central belt five or six de- grees in width, and nearly corres- ponding with tho latitudiual length of Illinois, which lies between 36 degrees, 56 minutes and 42 degrees. This is tho belt in the United States in which industry obtains the moat certain and highest rewards. It is temperate in climate aud a man can work up to his best nofch. The laud is fruitful, and bears in great nbundauce those products which are necessaries of life, and which there- fore have a steady commercial value. The population of Nebraska iu the beginning ot 1856 was 10,716, and at the close of 1875, 259.912, which was a twouty-five-fol- d increase in twen- ty years. Corn in Nebraska is most bounti- ful in production ; with fair cultiva- tion the yield is from 50 to 60 bush els per acre. Wheat from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to 40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels. Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country which is adapted to tho raising of corn ; small grains ; good for grass and hay, and has at all times a fa- vorable climate, must be a good location for stock-raisin- g. Live stock is in great demand the civilized over, and it is in live stock the far- mer finds a great deal of his wealth. It has been demonstrated among the Nebraska farmers that mixed farming is the most profitable, there- fore every farmer should combine grain and stock raising. In fact every farmer that has carried cutle upon his farm and handled them with judgment for any length ot time is now enjoying tho rich prfitE of his investment and labor. Look around among your neighbors and in every case where money has been invested in stock and handled with care it has brought the largest in- crease in dollars and cents to those who have invested. And there is room in Nebraska for hundreds of thousands more farmers. The Haraam Face. Iu ootbiug do men and brutes differ more than in their faces. The difference is independent of culture, and based on a difference of original design and plan. Man's face alone was meant to answer to every kind and shade of emotion, to be an in dezof the heart. Take simply the power to smile tbe first smile of the babe, the maiden's smile of love, the mother's smile of approval, or fondness, the cheery smile of friendship, the breezy good morning smile, and tbe last smile that often lights up the dying face of the good man, as if he already caught glaams of tbe life t come this lifts mau away from the brute almost as far as does the power ot speech. To accomplish this, the face is furnished with more distinct muscles and a larger supply of nerves than auy other part of the body. One result is, that play of expres- sion which gives the living face an Interest and a beauty so far beyond all that the art of the sculptor can attain. Another is that tho face of the speaker otten anticipates his words, and always helps tit interpret and enforce them. A third remit to that the face often beiriys a 8wfi which the perron seeks to co.ic- - or attests the falsehood of his ut- tered words. A fourth is um-even, muscle is strengthened mid develoj ed by use aud weakened b disuse that one's real character come, in tune, to stand on The avaricious, the voluptuous, the lufltiul, the haughty, the vain, the shHllow and silly, the hard, the stingy, the ft ettul.and bad-temper- ed chii be read, otten, by a aiugle glance, tnd that, too, beneath artificial ex- pressions put ou as 'i cloak. So, too, the genial, the kind-hearte- d, the downright honest, the thor- oughly pure, the truly bravn, the refined, the d, are "known and read of all men." The latter are imt only an sunshine iu our dark world, but they are among jur beM helps to goodness.

Htate CoreHlIoH., From Thureday't- - Extra.

At S o'clock yosterday eveningthe convention was called to orderby J. "W. Dawes, Chairman of StateCentral Committee, and, on motionof J. C. Cowin of Omaha, seconded

by Slaughter of Nance aud Bier-bow- er

of Cheyenne, G. W. Collins

of Pawnee was elected temporarychairman.

Cropsey of Lancaster and "Web-

ster of Omaha were appointed acommittee to wait upon Mr. Collins

and conduct him to the chair.Upon being introduced, he said:

"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen ofthe convention : I thank you from

the bottom of my heart for the hon-

or conferred upon me. I hope thatin our deliberations here the utmostharmony will prevail and that itwill be such a harmony as to be anexample for all other states in theUnion. I Lope, too, that whateverthe result of our deliberations shall

be that there is not a republican inthe Stato of Nebraska but willheartily endorso the action of theChicago convention."

J. D. Evans of Clay, D. A. Brain-ar- d

of Boone and A. E. Cady ofColfar were elected lemporary sec-

retaries.A committee on credentials was

appointed, consisting of Webster ofDouglae, Stout of Saline, Marsh ofClay, T&lraer of Cass, Majors ofNemaha, Ztschuck of Sarpy, Cornishof Polk, Thummel of Hall, RIes ofLincoln, Earheart of Stanton, andBruner of Cuming.

A committee of live on resolutionsconsisting of Cropsy of Lancaster,Slaughter of Nance, Cowan of Doug-

las, Nye of Dodge and Laird ofAdams.

The committee on permaneut or-

ganization: Teft of Cass, Caldwellof Nuchols, Cawkins of Buffalo,Brown of Douglas, Wilson of John-

son.While tho committees were out

several gentlemen were called uponfor speeches Luird, Cowen, Thurs-ton, VauWyck, Green, Chase, Ruse-wate- r,

Nye, Brooks, Collins, Van-dervoo- rt,

Ballou, Mitchell, Hawesand Crabb responding in neat shortspeoches which we have not thespace to report at length.

Laird, in former days, bad beenengaged in business in a small way,with Gen. Grant at the head of thepartnership, and he didn't feel dis-

posed to turn his back on him now.Cowen considered Blaine as great inother fields as Grant was in his.

Thurston said the Rcpublicauparty will stand by the man chosenas the standard bearer whoever hemay bo, but bis pergonal preferencewas for such a man as couldand would be elected and seated, ifelected.

VanWyck, without Indicating hispreference, pronounced Grant thefirst of American aoldlers.and Blainetb.o first of American statesmen.

Mr. Green declared for Grant, butbelieved that the parly would besuccessful, no matter who lead it.

Col. Chase knew by the intelligentlook of the convention, that it wouldact wisely and well. It became Re-

publicans to do their best this Fall,as the Democracy were terriblyhungry for office. Let us fight tillwe agree, and then fight until wewin the day against the common foe.

The chairman Introduced Mr.Rosewater of the Bee as a little manwho could say the most in a littletime of any man in the state. Hemade a personal explanation as tohis position in the convention, andas to his political record. He wasfor Blaine in '76, aud said if the sen-

timent of the Republicans had beenfairly represented at Cincinnati, thejealousies of rival candidates wouldnot have prevailed over Blaine.He said the Blaine force was over-whelmingly in the majority in thisconvention, and be believed in so or-

ganizing it as to select Blaine meuand no other for Chicago.

Fred. Nye, of the Omaha Neva,Bald that for six years he bad beenIn favor of J. G. Blaine for presi-dent, and he expested to have anopportunity this fall to vote for him.

Brooks of the Omaha Republicanwas in favor of that mode of pro-

cedure which shall mean power andprestige to the State. The conven-tion expressed a decided dislike tothis sentiment.

Collins was particularly "strenu-ous" in his remarks. In speaking otthe nefarious treatment of the negroes of the south by the exclave-holder- s,

he Baid that If those fellowshad studied their bible as they hadstudied hell and damnation downthere, there wasn't one of them butwould make s first-cla- ss missionary.Without any qualifying phrasewhatever, he said that James G.Blaine was the ablest man thatstands on God Almighty's earth, andif he was elected president and thosefellows down south didn't behavethemselves, U. S.Grant would knockthe devil out of them. It matteredsot whether Blaine or Grant orWasbburne was selected as the candidate, the other great men wouldsot be found skulking in their tents,but would stand at his back.

Vandervoort was introduced asthe best looking man in the State,and a square toed republican. Hisfirst choice was Grant, and be had

so second choice.

Mitohell was not one who believ-

ed that the salvation of the couutrydepended upon one man. He tho'tBlaine was our best representative

--of republican policy, and the people.

f Nebraska are overwhelmingly in 1

favor of him for president.The committee on credentials re-

ported uncontested delegates asfollows, their report beiug accepted.

Two brief article-- , have been pre-

pared aud published, and Ictt standing in the Journal, relative inNebraska, its advxutages and pro-

ducts. One more short article mustclose the series for this teason.

To persons who never saw a prai-r- ii

couutry, to look over it is ratheran interesting night ; as a generalthing the absence of timber given toit tho appearance of waste and bar-

renness to those who are accustomedto livo in a timbered country. Tim-ber of every kind common to thislatitude can be cultivated on theprairies of Nebraska. Near the wa-

ter courses and river bluff" a largequantity of trees are generally foundgrowing in great luxuriance.Among the varieties found in suchlocalities are cottonwood, box-elde- r,

buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory,oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, walnut, pine and cedar. The shrubsInclude common juniper, pawpaw,prickly ash, sumacs, rod root, npin-dl- e

tree, plum, currants and goose-berries, dogwood, butter bush, bunH-l- o

berry, mulberry and hnclenut.Cedars are found on thu islands otthe Platte, and along the Loup, amion the Niobrara there is a largequantity of pine.

But the interesting point wo warnto make is the met that all tlil-yario- ty

of treos will grow and fioni-is- h

on the prairie, and that as muchtimber as may be ueeded by eachfarmer can bo raised on his farm.

It is not a little surprising to knowthat the early travelers, and, amongothers, Gen. Fremont, should haveformed the opinion that the prairiesof Nebraska were a sandy deaort,unsuited for farming purposes, whenin these times it has been examinedby competent judges and pronounc-o- d

without any hesitation to be aregion which is to bo the great grainand stock-produci- ng area of thecontinent. Men don't make breadof sand, and they don't, &8 a generathing, settle in such localities. TheUnited States cover 23 degrees oflatitude; away to tho frozen north,and down to the semi-trop- ic south.With all thi3 choice, from the be-

ginning of westorn settlement thogreat current of movement has beenwithin a central belt five or six de-

grees in width, and nearly corres-ponding with tho latitudiual lengthof Illinois, which lies between 36degrees, 56 minutes and 42 degrees.This is tho belt in the United Statesin which industry obtains the moatcertain and highest rewards. It istemperate in climate aud a mancan work up to his best nofch. Thelaud is fruitful, and bears in greatnbundauce those products which arenecessaries of life, and which there-fore have a steady commercial value.

The population of Nebraska iu thebeginning ot 1856 was 10,716, and atthe close of 1875, 259.912, which wasa twouty-five-fol- d increase in twen-ty years.

Corn in Nebraska is most bounti-ful in production ; with fair cultiva-tion the yield is from 50 to 60 bushels per acre. Wheat from 15 to 25

bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels.Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A countrywhich is adapted to tho raising ofcorn ; small grains ; good for grassand hay, and has at all times a fa-

vorable climate, must be a goodlocation for stock-raisin- g. Livestock is in great demand the civilizedover, and it is in live stock the far-

mer finds a great deal of his wealth.It has been demonstrated amongthe Nebraska farmers that mixedfarming is the most profitable, there-fore every farmer should combinegrain and stock raising. In factevery farmer that has carried cutleupon his farm and handled themwith judgment for any length ottime is now enjoying tho rich prfitEof his investment and labor. Lookaround among your neighbors andin every case where money has beeninvested in stock and handled withcare it has brought the largest in-

crease in dollars and cents to thosewho have invested. And there isroom in Nebraska for hundreds ofthousands more farmers.

The Haraam Face.Iu ootbiug do men and brutes

differ more than in their faces. Thedifference is independent of culture,and based on a difference of originaldesign and plan. Man's face alonewas meant to answer to every kindand shade of emotion, to be an indezof the heart.

Take simply the power to smiletbe first smile of the babe, the

maiden's smile of love, the mother'ssmile of approval, or fondness, thecheery smile of friendship, thebreezy good morning smile, and tbelast smile that often lights up thedying face of the good man, as if healready caught glaams of tbe life t

come this lifts mau away from thebrute almost as far as does thepower ot speech. To accomplishthis, the face is furnished withmore distinct muscles and a largersupply of nerves than auy otherpart of the body.

One result is, that play of expres-sion which gives the living face anInterest and a beauty so far beyondall that the art of the sculptor canattain. Another is that tho face ofthe speaker otten anticipates hiswords, and always helps tit interpretand enforce them. A third remit to

that the face often beiriys a 8wfiwhich the perron seeks to co.ic- -

or attests the falsehood of his ut-

tered words. A fourth is um-even,

muscle is strengthened middeveloj ed by use aud weakened b

disuse that one's real charactercome, in tune, to stand on
