Gov. Butler arrived in the city at alate hour last evening. But few knewthat ha had reached town4 and owingto the heavy rain prevailing duringthe whole afternoon and evening no-tice could not be given. The CourtHoue, hence, was lit up, and theGovernor war in attendance, andspoke for a few minutes only-fi- ewill speak at r.IeFherson's Hall to-night. Let there be a full attend-ance. The Governor proposes to re-fute all charges against official or pri-ra- te

acts, ami challenges discussionfrom any one.

Box. John H. Croxton, Democraticcandidate for Governor, Nebraska

City, Nebraska:Dmr jSijv The representation of the

Tarty that in convention nominatedouas their standard bearer in the

preent campaign, adopted at the sametime a platform, which you accept asthe declaration of principal, uponwhich you take your stand before thepeople, and claim their support.

One of the principal planks in thatnlatfnrm. contains the followingclause: "That wc especially opposeand denounce the dishonesty and cor-rupU-on

of the present Governor of thisSfi'", in his manipidationof the Schooland of tcr State lands and projycriy."

I think sir, that you will agree withme, in the belief, that it is due to thepeoj le of this State and to the Execu-tive officer thus denounced, that thesecharges of "dishonesty and corrup-tion" be fuily and specifically madeout. and the issue fairly and freelypresented at the bar of public opinion.

In no way can this be done so wellas by joint discussion, and I ask 3'outo meet ine and discuss this "dishon-esty and --corruption," together withthe other issues, made by our respec-t- i

e parties.My appointments have been made

out, and if it suits your convenience,the time shall be divided between usat each place.

If these appointments are objection-able to you, I shall be happy to makeny changes that may seem desirable

to you.Trusting you will give my request

early a.tentiou, I remain,Yours very

David Butler.This challenge Mr. Croxton declin-

ed on the ground that will notcome from a joint discussion. Mr.Croxton in so doing, violates an es-tablished custom and acknowledgeshis inability- - to meet Gov. Butler.The fact is, by discussion only, canthe people become informed. Therehat never been a time in the historyof the Territory or State in which aji.nt discussion was more demandedti.au now. Mr. Crnstun and hisare making serious and grave chargesagainst Gov. Butler and the Bepubli-a- a

party and an opportunity is offer-ed to establish the truthfulness ofthoir cnarges. A refusal to discussN. m is an acknowledged failure, andvIl he eQ regarded by the people ofl&is State.

THE STATS FAIR.On account of the extreme inclem-

ent weather yesterday, but little wasdone at the Far in waj' of exhibition.One or two cemmittees made exami-nation in the hal!. The receipts how-ever, were over three hundred dollars.It rained all day.. The Board are com-pel led to postpone from day to day,the performances of speed in the ring.Twelve hours clear weather will leavethe track in good order, however, andthe trotting and pacing will takeplace when this shall occur. T This fea-ture of the Fair will be postponed fromtime to time until Saturdaj' if theweather requires it. If no fair weath-er is had by that lime, the entrancefee will be lelurned to the parties whopaid it.

The other features of the Fair willterminate on Friday the 24th, in anyevent.

The terrible rains yesterday and lastnight are very much to de regrettedby all; citizens immediate and dis-tant.

Will our citizens take some pains tosee that tluse from a distance arefurnished w ith accommodations. Letthere be a committee appointed to secto this matter. Latnigiila numberof families, and a best of single indi-viduals were lak'--n into the halls andoffices on the Fair grounds. A number of ccntiemen. from a

We are credibly informed that thearticle on Gov. Butler's arrival lastevening, in this morning's Democrat,was .inspired by some of Wright'sbest "Kentuck;" it certainly has a

"boka."

It is the universal of all,that better or fines show of stockwas never before on exhibition as atthe present State Fair. Some of thefinest short horn cattle in the UnitedStates are here.

The material for the new Iron Bridgeto be erected across the Big Nemahaat Tecumseh arrived in this city to-day. It will make a fine lookingsti ucture.

The of managers of the StateFair have been complained, to, thatthe hotel keepers are charging

and exorbitant rates duringthe Fair. The matter is being en-quired into, aud if fouud true, some-body will get few dollars worth offree advertisements. The complaint,if true, is an outrage, and every citi-zen should frown down the party, orparties who do it. More and in de-tail, if found true.

Bditor Advertiser: The kinkyhaired who used tobushwhack Union Soldiers in Louisi-ana, and who now edits the Brown-vilie Democrat, publishes in to-da-paper what purports to be a repoi ofa Republican meeting held in thecourt house iu Tecumseh, and I wishto inform your readers that there wasno such meeting held at the time andplace of which the above namedbushwhacker writes. This denial is,of course, unnecessary among thosewho know how utterly impossible itis for this rebel editor to tell the'truthabout anything. The young gentle-man is unfortunately situated in this:That the principles of the Democraticparty are founded on a lie, it i3 nour-ished and fed on falsehood, and thenatural consequence is that this un-washed bushwhacker is rapidly be-coming a first-cla-ss liar, which isevinced by his papers of the lastmonth, which have not contained asingle truth on political matters.Even honest democ-at- s are turningfor Butler out our way, because of thedisgusting and bare-face- d falsehoodsof the Democrat, and other papers ofits ilk. Assertions calculated to in-jure honest upright men, made withthe avowed intention ol o uomg,gains nothing for the slandering party, and calls forth only disgust andloathing on the names of thosewho do the slandering.

The Democrats throughout theState are generally supporting soreheaded Bepublicans for office underthe head of "peoples ticket." It isone of the strongest confessions theycan make that their own party recordis so unpopular and shows such cor-ruption that, it is not safe to runticket uinjer that banner. TheirState ticket is a mixture of "the hon-est voters own ticket" r.nd of the oth-er sort wh ich fer want of a better wordthey style "nominated" and the coun-ty ticket closes the list under themore popular heading of "the peoplesticket" The Nebraska Q'xty Timesgives this excuse for the tri-color- edpresentation, "we want votes, hjivecounted noses, and now retort to thissharp practice to get them.

'q$m m iiPSESCH OH PRUSSIAN, 1VIIICII1

Since the German Democracy of thecity of New York have resolved tovole against all candidatessympathiz-er- s

with France in the present Franco-Pru-ssian war, we find a greatchange iu the Rebel camp as to themerits of the conflict which can onlybe accounted for on one of two hy-pothesis: Either they have closedtheir hearts because of the Republicantendencies of the present French ruleor they fear the less of a few votes atthe coming state election. If they areinfluenced by the first then they butact iu harmony with their rebel recordprefering monarchy to all other formsof government so they are the rulers.This is hardly consistent with thoir"newissue"programmeand"finality"dogma's. If the latter be the correctleason for the new political maneuver-ing then it is but another evidence oftheir willingness to sacrifice principlefor a brief period of power. In eithercase it shows a want of that moralforce of character which the peoplerequire of their standard bearer. Ina word, they are the charicteristics ofpoliticians and not statesmen. Thosewere set aside in the great politi-cal battle of I860, were installed astheir successors, and the peoplo donot yet regret the change.

That is about the reasoningwhich it was our pleasure to listen tobetween two persons unknown to usnow attending the State Fair.

GOV. BUTLER.On last evening many of our citizens

assembled at the court house anxiousto hear Gov. Butler as it was knownthat he was in this city attending theState Fair. The Hon. J. S. Churchwas called to the chair at an earlyhour, aud on motion a committee ofthree was appointed to wait upon the"Governor and inform him of the de-sire of our people to hear him. Dur-ing their absence Gen. Craig in re-sponse to the call of the meeting brief-ly spoke of his desire to see wiiat couldbe done ia placing the Trunk Rail-road for Nebraska upon its feet. Hisremarks elicited the applause of theaudience. Gov. Butler appearing,came forward and in a few appropriateremarks by the chairman was intro-duced as the orator of the evening.He snoke for one hour and a half to alarge assemblage of people, fully ex-plaining and refuting all the chargesthat a servile and unscrupulous trioof newspaper scribblers have set afloatwithout a shadow of foundation, con- -vincingeven themo3tultrademocrat'sthat the Governor's record wa3 notobjectionable as to the charges someanly published by their partisanpress. We say convincing them, formany of therm on retiring said, "wellhe gets drunk if he didn't steal or de-fraud the State," showing conclusivelythat they had been driven from theintrenchments of corruption. Nowthat the Governor gets drunk restsupon evidence from the same sourceas conies the corruption charges, andis doubtless entitled to as little credit.The Governor was listened to withprofound attention, and his remarkswere wall received as the frequentcheering gave full evidence. Wecongratulate the Governor upon hiscomplete vindication before the peopleand promise him nearly the whole republican vote of Nemaha county.

IIE SCHOOL MOSEY SWINDLEThe other day while awaiting our

mail in the post-offic- e, we overheardtwo Democrats discussing thealledgedcorruption of Gov. Butler in this wise :"Isn't that a most damnable recordthatofButler." "Well, I don't know,isthpre anything late." "Why havn'tyou. read the daily Democrat?" "No "(talcing the paper out of his pocketand showing the trebble column ad-vertisement,) "see here." "Why thatdoes looli damnable enough, what ipit about." "Damn'd if I know, butit has a queer look, it ought to seudhim to tho gallows," &e. We steppedup and stud it was a record copy show-ing that Gov. Butler had taken amortgage on property worth $30,000,to secure about$15,000 a third of whichwas a private matter, and the othertwo thirds was for School moneyloaned in pursuauce of law, and oneof them replied, "That's orful for aGovernor to do."

Refnces to Debate.Mr. Croxton, the "unterrified" can-

didate for Governor, publishes a cardin the Omaha DTerald declining thechallenge of Gov. Butler for a jointdebate, and concludes, atthe small endof the horn, by saj'ing such discus-sions are apt to degenerate into perso-nal abuse, appeals to prejudice, pas-sion, in which tho truth is lost sightof.

Mr. Croxton i3 it true Democrat, andknows what are Democratic weapons,but either has a grain too much of de-cency or discretion "ofton the betterpart of valor" to use them. He isalso eminently Democratic in refusingfair debate before tho people with hisopponent, yet. is still "small potatos"enough to go around by himself mak-ing charges against Gov. Butler andsubstantiating them by rumors inLincoln. Of course hoi's Democrat-ically opposed to personal abuso, forfear that that precious jewel truth, sorare among Democratic politicians,may be lost 3ight of. But, how care-ful 1 ! !

against a man, and yet refuse the re-quest of that man to go together andgive him a chance to refute such char-ges ! This is what Croxton ia doing.

Croxton arraigns for malfeasance inoffice the man he is too cowardly tomeet in fair debate ! How'b that forhigh!"

If Governor Butler has committeda crime as Croxton charges, how gen-erous toward the people and to ButlerIs his course in sneaking around afterButler and making tko3e charges insuch a manner as to leave this greatcriminal t) still in office? Oh! horkind.
