A Word to our Republican Friends,


The Republican nominations for Presi-
dent and Vice President now being made,
there should be no unnecessary delay in or
ganizing in each town for vigorous cam
paign. The nominations are eninently
fitting and worthy the support of the people
The majority Of the people have stood by
the government for the past seven years !;
traitors in the south--traitors at the north,
and enemies across the ocean, have con-
spired to overthrow and destroy the Union,
but have thus far utterly failed By the
results of the war, the chains of millions of
bondsmen have been broken, and human
liberty has received new impulse the
world over. But all the benefits legiti-
mately to follow from the war, have not
yet been secured. Permanent peace and
security to persons aud property, aud the
rights of all without distinction of color or
nationality, are not yet placed upon an en-
during foundation. 1t is the proper mission
OF the Republican party, which successfully
carried the country through the perils of the
past to complete the work demanded by
the new order of things Another four
years of power Of the party, which saved
the Union from the deadly assaults of the
rebellion, is needed to consumate what vet
remains to be done. Republicans stood
nobly by the government and our Union
armies during the protracted war; they
gave freely to encourage and support our
Enthusiastically bearing the burdens of
taxation they have yet to make one more
determined stand, to consumate the triumph
OF liberty and enfranchisemento AS Re
Publicans rallied throughout the country to
put down armed treason, so let them,rally
once again, /" to meet the same foe, who
though disarmed of deadly weapons. seeks
TO accomplish his mischievous purposes at
the ballot box. = ~

Platform Omissions,

The Democratic journals seem to deem it
necessary, 10 find fault with the Republican
platform; the most they can find to say is,
that many things have been omitted, which
ought to have been mentioned Some
charge it defective, because it does not
pledge the party to support the constitution,
some declare it is not explicit on the tariff,
others, that the proper financial policy is
not affirmed. There is probably no inter
est of any kind pertaining to government
not mentioned in the Republican platform,
which the Democratic journals viii not
charge as an intentional evasion
According to tho Democratic notion, the
Republican National Convention, should
have stated explicitly the amount of tax in-
tended to be put on whisky and other drink
ables Also detailed statement of what
the party intends to do, in respect to the
social problems of the day.
The platform covers ground enough, to
satisfy those who desire the true advance.
ment of the country in freedom and equal
ity. Those whose vocation is cavilling,
must be expected to find fault.

APPLETON, Wis, May 25, 1868.
EDITOR TELEGRAPH 1t is said by those
who pretend to know, that greater breadth
of grain has been put in, in this section, than
ever before. At least there never was finer
opportunity than has been offered by our
spring weather. 1t is also said that the crops
are looking very finely, and so far as it can be
determined, promises an abundant harvest.
This city, for some weeks past, has been in
tested by gang of burglars. Several houses
have been broken into, and a considerable
amount of money and other valuables taken.
AS yet no clue has been obtained of the offend
ers. 1t Is thought that special police will
be necessary to secure the city. Whether
these desperadoes are imported from some
of the larger cities, or are of domestic manu-
facture, as yet battles suggestion.
The annual commencement of Lawrence
University, takes place on the 18th of June.
1t is thought that there will be the largest
attendance there has ever been. The Uuiver-
sity has met with great loss by the election
of its President to the editorship of the North
aUeStern Christian Advocate. DIR. Steele has
done much to raise the reputation of the
school. By his untiring energy, united with
his executive ability, the school has been
raised to grade never before equalled. He
has been beloved alike by patrons and stu
dents, and | fear that ''yainly look we for
another in his place to stand" He will 90 to
his new duties, followed by the good wishes

Impeachment.

impeachment is a failure. On Tuesday
last the Sanate reassembled Court of
impeachment and voted on the second and
third articles, arriving at the same result as
when the eleventh article was voted upon
nearly two weeks ago. The seven Repub-
Iican Senators who voted not guilty before.
voted the same again; they will have to
account to their constituencies in their res
rective States as best they can. The plea
that they were governed by the solemn con
alterations of au oath, and were constrain- :
cd to adhere strictly to the law and the
testimony, would answer very well, provid
ed they had not previous to the commence
men. Of the trial, expressed decided opinions
on the same state of facts, that tho Presi-
dent was guilty Of crimes deserving inns
peachment So long as the contradictory
action of these Senators remains unexpIain-
cd, so long will they be justly under cen
sure of the people.
The following is brief summary of the
proceedings of the Court of Impeachment on
on Tuesday last
WAsHINeroN, May 26-Senator Will
.liams, of Oregon, moved that che Senate
proceed to vote on the second article.
Agreed to at 1870 p. m.
The uote on the second arGice was ;
Guilty, 3d.; not guilty, 10.
Senators Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Hem
derson, Ross. Trumbull and Van Win
kle, voted not guilty; all the rest as be-
fore.
THE SECOND ARTICLE
charg es that the President, there then be-
ing nc, vacancy in the War Office, author
lied General Thomas, in writing, to act as
Secretary Of War ad interim, the Senate
then being in session, and with intent to
violate the Tenure act and the Constitu-
ton.
VOTE ON TIE THIRD ARTICLE.
The vote on the third article was Guilty
35; not guilty, 10.
THE THIRD ARTICLE
is like the second, except that it alleges that
the President appointed Thomas Secretary
of War without the advice and consent of
Senate, and without authority of law,
and with the intent to violate the Constitu-
ton.
THE COURT ADJOURNED.
The. Court then adjourned sine die.

Science Of Housekeeping.

There has been recently introduced a
very sensible branch of instruction i'll some
of the schools of Germany. Young ladies
are required to take lessons in the culinary
art, and acquaint themselves with the
most approved methods Of cookery. They
are moreover expected to write essays on
the best methods of keeping and fattening
fowls Sc The suggestion may seem pre-
posterous to some persons of any such
branch of edu cation in our American
schools But if the currents of fashion and
public opinion, continue in their present d.
rection for another. quarter OF century,
there will come time of imperative ne
cessity for it, unless some method be in
Iaugurated to provide for a domestic want.
How many of the young women now being
educated in our Public schools and semi
naries, have learned or intend to learn, the
culinary art in its essential departments
There doubtless are those who are educated
ut home III this direction. but the number
it is believed, il becoming less every year.
| 1t is true vast numbers of immigrants come
to this country every year from Europe
to learn the American methods of kitchen
service, and III this way great demand is
met, but this resource may not always last
For it is noticeable that those of every for
eign nationality among us, after residence
of some years here, incline to the American
prejudice against domestic or house service
ESPECIALLY outside of their own families.
Immigration to this country, will very
likely some day measureably cease, and
when that conditions of things shall arrive,
what will our American families do
Foreigners will then become Americanized
lin their practices they will be controlled
by that memorable law, public opinion in
regard to what is genteel labor and what is
not Who then will supply a great do
nestle necessity Let no one say, that
those who have control of the educational
interests Of Germany, are unwise in making
referred to. Nor should any one sheer al
the mention of such necessity in our owl
country. We have only to mark well thu
increasing tendency OF American young
women, to shun household, and especially
kitchen employments, to reason logically o
the condition of things towards which WI
are advancing

Republican Platform.

Ne invite attention to the Republican
platform adopted by the National Conven-
ton with great unanimity at Chicago last
week. 1t is clear and decided expression
of opinion, on the leading national issues
now before the American people The re-
construction policy of Congress is endorsed,
"a the safe means for the secursment of
equal rights to loyal men, and for the
carly restoration of the lately seeded states
to their proper relation in the Union All
forms Of reputation are rightly denounced
as national crime. Taxation should be
reduced az rapidly as the national faith will
permit. Improving the national credit,
will tend to lessen the burden of taxation.
The rights Of foreign born citizens are as.
serted, boldly and truthfully The recog.
milton of the services of the soldiers and
sailors in our late struggle with rebellion, is
properly set forth. Foreign emigration is
encouraged Sympathy for the oppressed
of all nations, is the declared faith of thu
Republican party.

Impeachment Investigation.

The Impeachment Managers have been
investigating the past week, the alledged
causes of the detection of certain Senator's,
oy which the conviction of the President
proved failure. The evidence goes to
show, that money in abundance has been
placed In the hands of individuals for cor
ruption purposes, but in consequence of the
obstinacy Of witnesses, who have been IN :
der examination, no tangible proof has been
elected to whom it was paid, or whether
any Senator received a consideration, for his
acqnittal vote What may be developed
hereafter remains TO be seen,

CHIEF JUsTIoE CHASE. -There are differ
ences of opinion as to the precise political
attitude of Chief Justice Chase at this par
ticular time. tbs however pretty evident
that Chase is afflicted with the Presidency
on the brain disappointed political am
hition has estranged him from his usual
straight forward course. He is reported as
having consented to the use of his name as
a candidate for the Presidency before the
National Democratic Convention this is
not altogether improbable. Notwithstand-
ing all the denunciations the Democracy
have heaped upon Chase because Of his
doctrines of negro equality, it would proba-
bly, all be overlooked, provided the ticket
were only labelled Democratic

SECRETARY STANTON VAoATEs THE WAR

assigns reasons .as follows
'Fhe resolution of tho Senate of the
United States of the 21st of February last,
declaring that the President has no power
to remove the Secretary of War and desig-
nate any other officer to perform the duties

House of Representatives, | have reIinquish-
ed charge of the War Department
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1868-05-28

The retirement of Stanton from the War
Department at this time, is a great public
m isfortune. President Johnson will fill the
position with one of his own euppliant
tools, and unrepenitant rebels will receive
new aid and comfort. The seven perverted
Republican Senators, who several weeks
ago held Johnson to be violator of law, in
bis attempted election of Stanton from the
War Office, but who now refuse to declare
him guilty, arc responsible for Stanton's va
eating his position. How much more mis-
chief, is to Come from the course pursued by
these Senators remains to be seen.

been in session the past week, the former
at Albany N. T., and the latter at Pitts

is the proposition for the union of the two
bodies. The General Assembly was divid-

matter of difference being the question OF
slavery, also doctrinal opinions; the Old
School being more strictly the adherents Of
