From the Council Bluffs Nonparcil
From one of the young men connected
with the engineers corps of the Union
Pacific Railroad, now west of Fort San

To the adopted route After leaving Fort
Sanders it crosses the Big Laramie river.

Sage creek and the Bridger's Pass range
of mountains, and then, makes the divide
ofthe continent in latitude Al degrees 30
minutes, some thirty miles northwest of
Bridgcr's Pass and sixty miles southeast of
the South Pass. 1t then leans southwest,
entering Bitter creek near Big Pond stage
station, and following down that stream to
Green river, crosses the same two miles
north of stage station, and overcoming the
summit between Green River and Blacks

A "Reminiscences.

In the summer of 1868 gentleman
wrote from st. Louis to a friend in Boston
as follows. He had been describing a
trip by steamboat from Hannibal to St
Louis: = ni s..l-I..l.ti RI. q - 81 sons.
There were soldiers aboard. You
should have heard the way an Iowa private
(born IN New Hampshire, and genuine
nasal Yankee,) took down a copperhead
Congressman, who was cursing New Eng
land. The fellow listened awhile until he
boiled over, and then he burst ont on him

Other soldiers edged up behind him, muir
muring, That's right! The copperhcad!
etc. and the fellow went on in the greatest
excitement-a real Yankee inspiration
with all the fervor Of an excited schoolboy
speaking q piece at school, and in the same
style; but it was genuine, and it did the
business. The Congressman had TO ex-
plain it all away, and asked was that sat

But should ike to hear you say now,

He at length settled down at Cairo, and
opened an eating house, in which he made
money rapidly. In a few months he closed
out and determined toinyest in land in his
native county of Chicot. He went down
there, but was so roughly treated that he
left on the first passing boat, and this
brought him to Helena. He here read
an advertisement of plantation for sale
near the mouth of the ST. Francis, offered
alta great bargain. He called upon the
agent atffelena who could not believe his
eyes when he saw full black 4" Niger y
before him, with the effrontery to ask him
to sell him-a Niger six hundred and
eighty nine acres of land, and rather re-
buffed him until Mr.. Latting told him he
had the money to pay for it. The agent
could not then bc too complaisant-shOwe
him the locality of the land on the map,
and in day or two took him up i'm a boat
to show it to him. Mr. Latting was pleas
ed with the place, and in ten days had
placed the purchase money i'm the hands of
the agent, and received a properly ac-
knowledged deed to it. He worked a
plantation adjoining last year for 81 600,
and has added one hundred and eighty
i've more acres to his place, so that he
now OWNS eight hundred and seventy four
acres. For all this he owes but $500,
which is not, however, due until next
January. He is cultiyating his own place
this year. and is putting in fifty acres of
corn and fifty acres of cotton, besides run
ming two wood-yards on the Mississippi
river. He meantime keeps his children at
school in Helena. Mr. Latting is quiet
unassuming, and evidently hard worker
He values his word and pays his debts

toned gentlemen His career is certainly

sumption of judiciary powers, and charac-
terized the entire proposition as too absurd
to be submitted to children. by the cxer-
else of this assumed power the President
could suspend legislation or all kinds; he
could prevent the creation of judicial dis
tricts, the erection of States and the cleo
ton of representatives the enactment OF

As TO what crimes can be considered i'm

common law are indictable in the District
OF Columbia, and the same class are also
impeacliable. If this proposition were
not self-evident, Inc need not argue it; for
as to the offenses specified in the articles
he held that nome could deny that the
open violation of law by the President was
an Improbable crime lie said the de-
Tense of the President, as exhibited i'm his
answer, rests on the assumption that he
possesses the right to resist and bring to
judicial decision any lawwhich he suppos-
es to trench ON his constitutional prerog-
atives. This assumption could, be made a
pretended excuse for refusing TO execute
any law iwhatevcra Referring to the posi-
ton assumed on this question by Mr.. Ev.
arts, he read from pamphlet written bv
Mr.. Curtis, i'm 1862, the expressions of a
contrary view, which he commended as
good law. He went on to assert that no
man who did not admit the assumption tina
the President possessed judicial as well as
executive power could deny that his writ
ten orders could show clearly his violation
of law, and proved him worthy of convic-
ton.
With regard to the defense that the Pres
Sdent suspended Mr.. Stanton under the
Constitution, and to supply the vacancy,
under the law of 1895, he claimed that the
Presidents answers showed u violation OF
the Jaw, for that limited thctenure of such
appointments to six months, and the Pres
ident appointed General Thomas for an in
definite period $3.50.
He then spoke of the argument that a
President is bound to intervene To protect
the people from Unconstitutional laws. and

pie are the guardians of their own honor
and Congress is responsible only to them
