Crime not statesmanship.

There is one element Of preseu, politics
to which we wish to call sttention.
With most men reconstruction is becom-
ing a mere political game. Every event
is looked at solely in the light of the ef-
feet il will have on this or thst mans
chances for the. Presidency. Will i'm
peschment hurt Grant? Will it help
Wade? How will Sherii.n's removal
affect the nomination Z? These are the
questions. Men are TOO apt to forget
that to the Southern Uuionist and negro.

The Unionist, hunted or shot down on
his hearth; the negro. cheated. starved.
scourged. murdered. These men look on
impeachment delayed Is go many months
added to their torture; on Sherid ms re-
movAl as license given for plunder and
blood. Ia this political game the coun.
ters are living men. News from the
North is waited for with broken hearts.
TIE Republican wire puller Of to-day is
like the physicisn holding the pul>e Of .
man undler torture. to note how s6uch he
can endure this aide of death. Texas is

This last item Is the climax. The advocates
of female suffrage are the very Old Guard Of
Liberty-the men who faced public opinion

Correspondence.
(For the Chiefly

At q meeting of citizens Of Doniphan Coun
ty. in the Court Room. at Troy, at 9 P. NJ, on
Monday, September 9Th, 1867, Capt. A. Lar
zelere vas called to the Chair, AMI G. D. Ba-
ker elected Secretary.
Col. Abel. Of Atchison, being called upon,
made . practical speech. He said he repre-
sented. at this meeting. the interests of the
Atchison and Nebraska City Railroad, and for
said Railroad Company, ~ould pledge that
there was no trickcry in the wording of the
etition' aad submission Of the Railroad vote;
that he would pledge the Road to 60 through
the County, to the north line of the County, on
the north line Of the State Of Kansas. If the
Bonds we're voted, tie Road would be built;
and it would be for the interest Of the Compa-
ny to do as much grading and bridging as pos
sibly can be done before the Legislature meets,
in January, 1868, and they intend to do it.
The Company desire to build their Road
through DoniphAh County, If the people want
il; bat If they don't want it, Brown County
does, aud now stands ready to vote the same
amount of Bonds asked of Doniphan County.
G. W. Click, of Atchison, being called for
made speech Of some length, in which he
demonstrated the tax question, showing that
the tax upon the Roads themselves would pay
all interest upon the Bonds issued, while the
tax on the increased wealth Of the County
would more than pay the principal. instead OF
raisiLg the taxes upon the present wealth Of
the County-stating. as fact, that 3 mill
tax raised more revenue in Atchison, this year,
than 10 mill tax did before they had Rail-
road.

loved, in short speeches. f.voring the issuing
of the Binds.

What Railroads Have Done for

the Arraignment Of uhe Presi.
dent.
The New York Tribune, which has of
late been very conservative in it's tone.
has at last seen the signs Of the times, and
comes out sqnarely in favor of i'm peach
ment. In its issue of Wednesday, after
enumeratiDg the Presidents offanaes, it
says:
Where will this end e? The President
means war. The country mus. stand and
fight, or be defeated. We believe any-
thing possible of Mr.. johnson. His All.
ministration is record of deception. Gun
ming. disloyalty-antagonisru to the best
interests of the country. He has made
the Administration of Buchanan respect.
able. by showing degradation to which
even Mr. Buchanan could not sink. fIe
has betrayed his party; he has betrayed
his friends !: he has betrayed his country.
Nothing is left OF his Administration but
few miserable jobbers like those who
hang around him. and few wIetched
political adventurers like Black. The
men who accepted contumely for his
csnss. like Seward, and Randall, and
Welles. he is impatient to drive out ol
his Cabinet. The savage of Sahara is
not iI'sensible to the obligations of friend
ship; bat even this M longer rem aims
with MIR. johnson. We admonish the
people to prepare for stern and high re.
sponsibility. 1t is nearly hundred days
until Congress meets. Till then we are
powerless. We can only bow to this
dreadful tyranny. The Presi lent appealed
to the country in his late message. We
join him in the appeal Let our friends
organize everywhere. LIT us make the
canvass upon the fanny Of Mr. Johnson $
ADMINISTRATION. and having defeated him
at the ballot box. we can prepare. through
our representatives.. to conaiIer the best
course to be taken to punish him for his
crimes ag gainst the sovereign will OF the
American people.
VIEWS OF THE NEW YORK TINES.
The New York Times. of August 29. b,
says:
+ Matters have gone too far to render
doubt or misaprehension reasonable. Mr.
Johnson has entered upon course which
shuts ont the last chance Of reconciliation,
and renders all compromise impossible
Vows aDd protestations will serve him no
longer. Pretences Of compliance with the
law which be is trying to Obs,ruct. are
no longer admissible. His parrot talk
about the Constitution is laughed at as
sheer nonsense and hypocrisy. Hs stands
revealed an enemy not less OF Congress
and its laws than of the country and its
peace. Wantonly. and treacherously.
with no conceivable hope of success. i'm
PEELED only by needless maliguity and an
insane ambition. be has r-Jpened the
quarrel in a shape which renders bis fate
and the duty of the government party
perfectly clear. As between tie Exscu
tive and the people represented by Con-
gress. there will be neither ths giving nor
taking of quarter. Mr.. johnson has On
sheathed The sword of . dieturber and q
usurpsr. and there can be no further par
