In the United States senate, on the 18th
inst, Senator Chandler, of Mich, (blackguard
republican, wanted to adjourn, without fill
ing the vacant offices. He said J: 'If An
drew johnson is an obstacle in the way, 1t
would be found out by July whether or not
they could run the government without him
For himself, he would not be driven into
confirming copperheads and rebels, because
otherwise the vacancies wonld remain unfill-
ed"
Senator Fessenden, of Maine, decent re.
publican) replied that the President had as
much right to say that the senate stood in
his way as the senate had to say he stood In
their way, and as much right to say he would
find way to run the machine without the
senate as they had without him.. The Presi
dent did not commit ap impeachable of
Tense by nominating officers, but he would il
he failed to nominate them.
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, was perfect
ly willing that of two offices, one should be
filed by friend of the President and the
other by republican, but he did not under
stand that the President was willing thai
this should be done.
Of the Offices already filled, Senator
Howe viii find that nearly all have been fill
ed with republicans.

The recent city election in Springfield re-
suited in the greatest democratic victory ever
known. Judge Broadwell, the democratic
candidate for mayor, was elected by 259
majority, over Maj. Gen. John Cook, the
radical candidate, and "chief mugwump" of
the G. A. R. The democrats also elected
the city attorney, marshal, assessor, treasu-
rer, street supervisor, one-half of the alder
men, and five Of the eight members OF the
county board of supervisors, thus securing a
majority jim the county board. Thus is the
capital and the capital county thoroughly re
deemed from radical misrule. We rejoice
that Springfield and Sangamon county are
once more on the side of the constitution
The democrats there have maintained an un
equal contest for years past, having all TIN
civil and military power of the state arraigne'
against them,-but they always contendet
gallantly, for every inch of ground, some
times winning and sometimes losing. Thi'
last battle, however, is a decisive one, AM
places Springfield where she belongs perma
nently on the side of the constitution, tn
country and the democracy. All honor t
the gallant, brave and glorious democracy c
Springfield.

of informing the farmers in relation to storms

nronoses the following mode ofdoing it:

of informing the farmers in relation to storms
and their progress over the country, and
proposes the following mode ofdoing it:
when a storm commences in any part of the
country and is travelling in q certain direction,
or is spreading in many directions, the FIRST teie-
oraph station over which 1t passes should send
the news Instantly TO all the telegraph stations at
county seats, hupdr4ds Of miles in advance, in the
direction thet the storm is travelling. At each
Of those cotnty-seats cannon might be Kept
ready, and as soon as the news is received o. an
approaching storm, il is to be fired three times,
at intervals of two minutes if it is hurricane, al
intervals of five minutes if the storm is travelling
rapidly. and Mt intervals of ten minutes if it is
travelling slowly.
As a cannon can be heard distinctly from fl,
teen to twenty miles in all directions by firing
| ut each county-seat the farmers for hundreds Of
miles over the whole country would be warned in
time to get their grain or hay under cover, or il
| a situation to shut out the rain. And this warn
ing would not only be useful in harvest, but also
in seeding time, and in many other situations
too numerous to mention, not only to farmers, blu
to the public generally.
If this plan should meet with general approva
it may be set into operation immediately. Ar
rangements may be made between the county of
fcials and telegraph company, or some tele
graph company may make arrangement by circu
lar with the county officials in all the states l
the newspapers would then publish the storm sig
nails, which should be posted m every house owe
the whole country, the plan would be complete
| and in a couple of months the storm guns woui
| commence to roar, giving warning of approach
| ing storms and hurricanes, over vast extents Q
| country hundreds and even thousands of miles i
, advance of the actual thunder or the storm.

Left Hand Compliment to the Senate.

The Cincinnati Commercial pays the fol-
lowing felicitous compliment to the radical
senators for their sagacity and patriotism:
Col. A. E. Jones has been appointed by
the President postmaster of Cincinnati, and
the appointment is before the senate. We
have no doubt of the confirmation of the
colonel. He was impoverished during the
war by holding the Office of provost marshal
of the first district of Ohio, and multitudes
viii retain grateful recollection of his in
estimable services in procuring credits for
his naval recruits at a time when Cincinnati
was pretty badly in for the draft. The in
genuity and patriotic zeal of Colonel Jones
preserved some hundreds, perhaps thousands
of our fellow-citizens, from the disagreeable
alternative of going to the FRONT. Coroner
Jones will be confirmed. Colonel Bassett
Langdon's nomination for assessor in the
first district, is again, and we suppose for
the last time before the senate. He did not
distinguish himself particularly during the
war, except as soldier, and there rs no hope
for him. The nice discrimination, exquisite
taste, highly cultivated judgement and bril-,
liant tact of the senate, in the matter OF CON
frming and rejecting the Presidents APP
pointments, call for our keenest apprecia-
ton.

Our New Post Master.

The telegraph informed us, yesterday
morning, tt Col. w. II. Benneson has been
appointed, and confirmed by the senate, as
post master of Quincy. Thus has President
johnson beaten the radical disorganizers OF
the senate at last, and got one o, his friends
into lucrative office. Col Benneson is one
OF our most respectable citizens, is lawyer
OF tine standing, and a man of fine talents.
From the start he has been a warm support
er OF President johnson, and has sustained
hum throughout in his controversy with the
radical revoiutionists in congress. We most
cordially congratulate the colonel, and we
are sure that the public win find in him a
.altniui, courteous and competent public of:

A maxim of artillerists made immort

A maxim of artillerists made Immortal
by events which occurred at Fort Holt, is ts
the effect that there is no known angle at
which a sixty -four pound gun, when loaded
with a thirty-two pound shot, can be elevated
so as to strike distant object. The maxim
was fully illustrated in the vote for mayor
yesterday. The radical party is of large
calibre, but it could not be sufficiently elevat
ed to project John Cook into the mayor:

Dubuque All Right.


We Thought, from the telegraph dispatch
es, that Dubuque, up in Iowa, had gone rad
ical, but having waited for the wagon we
find it was all a mistake. The radical party
leaders have been using the telegraph, as
usual, to propagate lies. The Dubuque
Herald has come to hand with full returns
of the city election, and from it we learn
that the democrats elected their candidates
for treasurer, recorder, auditor, attorney and
assessor. A johnson man, a real "bread
and butter favorite, was elected mayor; and
this is the radical victory over which the
telegraph boosted. Truly, since their rout
in Connecticut, the RAIDS are seeking comfort
in strange direction. - ts Ta
