President johnson and the Rev
York Democracy

Certain parties, disappointed in securing
the presidents assistance to advance their
selfish purposes. are now making strenuous
efforts to prove that Mr.. johnson, after
making Overtures to the New York democ
racy, has broken fai tn with them, utterly
failing to carry out his promises. 1t Is
charged that Cassiday, Of New York, ad-
dressed letter to & prominent gentleman
of this city, in which he announced the
purpose Of the New York democratic state
convention to pass resolution regulating
Mr.. johnson and his administration. and
that this announcement by some means
reached the presidents ears. 1t is furth-
er announced that the president immedi
ate y dispatched distinguished Missourian
and an equally distinguished Tennessee
gentleman to New York to confer with par.
ties in that city with view to arrest the
resolution of reputation, and to negotiate.
if possible. an ami,.able arrangement with
the New York democracy. 1t is further
CHARGED that after sundry meetings held at
Mayor IIoffman's, in New York, it was
understood, cOvenated and agreed that the
resolutions regulating the administration
should be stricken out, and that a distia-
guished New York statesman should b.,
forthwith Installed in the presidents cap
met. Such. | understand, are tie char
ges as preferred by the New York parties
who say they carried out in ful faith their
part of the agreement, but that Mr. John
son has broken faith with them and failed
to make the promised change in his cabi-
net. On the other hand, the presidents
friends assert the want Of good faith was
not on his part, bat that the agreement re-
qnired the convention TO endorse the ad-
ministration, which it failed to do, and
hence Mr.. johnson was relieved of any OBJ
legation to make the change in his cabinet
Several spicy letters, I understand, have
passed between the representatives of the
high contracting parties in their efforts
to settle the question of bad faith. 1t is
more than probable Mr. Church or Mayor
Hoffman could decide the issue. Boston

students had convened at the library So

Which Was also being held in the college
building, was In session, all of which
broke up in a general stampede. No one
was hurt, but all were badly scared. The
loss sustained by the college building was
slight. principally in chimneys and win

in loss of trees, wa, by no meaus slight.
The next public building in its course
was the seminary, which was almost un-

The lands in Marshall county, except

1886. the county was organized, having
previously been attached to St. Joseph
