The President Summoned.

The writ summoning the President to
appear at the bar OF the Senate on Friday
Of this week, was served by the Sergeant at
Arms Of the Senate. on last Saturday.
Nothing Of moment occurred ut the inter-
view, Mr. johnson stating formally that
due attention would be given the summons.
A Washington correspondent Of the
Indianapolis Journal writes as follows;
What the length Of the trial will be, Is
Of course beyond calculation, but IL is not
thought that II will last over two or three
months. This calculation is founded on
the fact that the articles Of impeachment
are predicaed on the violations Of the law
contained in tho Presidents illegal at.
tempts 10 turn Stanton out Of the War
Office. Had the committee sought to
make the indictment a. long as possible
by embodyingin i,all the oiIenses Of the
President since the beginning Of. his un.
easy administration, there is no telling
how protracted the trial might have been
possibly il might have endured rs long
as did the impeachment and trial Of War.
rem Hastings-ten years.
Many persons suppose that during tho
pendoncy Of this trial all legislation will
be suspended and pressing public interests
run to waste, but this does not necessarily
follow because the Senate shall have re-
solved itself into court, and the House
must be present rs prosecutors in the name
Of the people. Nothing will hinder both
bodies from meeting IN legislative caPaei
~ at, say nine in the morning, aud legs-
lating until the usual morning hour, /. o.,
twelve o'clock. In this way and by the
judicious employment Of time in the CON-
mittee rooms, the finances and domestic
taxes may receive that attention which their
importance demands.

LETTER FROM WAYNE COUNTY.
Correspondence Of the Ameriean.l

MARCH 10th, 1868.

Mr.. Edito,1<=J Judging from the state

pondcnt Union" in his communication
Of the Sd Of February, am led to be.
licse that he Is laboriug to make the i'm
preston among the Union voters Of the
new 4th District, that Mr.. Julian is very
unpopular with the Union men Of Wayne
County. lie no doubt thinks IL this be.
lief is once established, the probable effect
will DO 10 make the Union men OF the 9th.
err Counties attached to this District con-
clude that it will not De policy to nominate
MIR. Julian for. that position. While
think it right and proper TO fairly aud

any and all candidates who aspire to seats

ture, when the peace aud welfare Of the
nation requires all the talent, experience
aud patriotism it can got; yet | earnestly
protest against oil efforts TO destroy the
popularity ofanY one by missiaie0leat 81
faeis.
Now If "Uniou" had consulted the
official records of the votes cast in Wayne
County in the fall Of 1864, (the time he
says Julian was so unpopular,) he would
have found that Mr.. Julian re-
ceiyed 4,294 votes and Mr.. Lin
coin 4238 votes, or that Julian re-
ceivod 90 votes more than Lincoln. Will
"Union" venture the assertion that Lin
coin was unpopular in Wayne County,
While | do not deny the right Of Union
orany other person to disseminate the truth.
yet let me suggest that perhaps the Union
voters Of the 4ih District are sufficiently
intelligent an d patriotic TO manage their
own affairs, without the interference Of
parties who hail from another District,
especially when such interference is ac-
compared with such false statements as
the above. RADICAL.

BrookyIIIe & connersyIIIs Turnpike Co ,

MR Z. IL. BINoHAM,-By your per-
mission through the columns Of your
paper | desire to ventilaie the acts aud
doings Of tho Board Of Directors Of the
Brookville Il Cosnersville Turnpike Com
pauy, who have been managing and con-
trolling the interests OF that Turnpike
Company, which ewns one Of the roads
running out from our County scat aud
connecting with a neighbouriug County
seat. This Board OF Directors, or the,
most o. them, have been holding their
oMces for about ten years, aud, judging by
heir recent election, they propose 10 con-
tinue to hold them under the Life Lease
SYSTEM.
The time for holding their Annual
Eleetian of Directors took place on the
18th Of February, 1868, and contrary TO.
law, aud cast ON, aud all precedents mere
ioiore, without advertising ia the County
pupers, this Board of Directors met in a
secluded place 10 hold their secret election.
with their pockets full OF proxys 10 vote
themselves Ia office. But somehow or
other, few of the Stock holders found
out the time and place, aud proceeded
forthwith to see how things were done
up. They also provided themselves with
few proxys - sese. Bur when this Sc
cret Board Of Directors saw these Stock
holders coming, they became alarmed aud
il csu,ed sumo uheasiuess, aud they
trembied in their boots. They thought
they would not be elected.
After some preliminary remarks, the
Board met at o'clock, during which lime ,
thcle life Directors were very busy arrang.
lng the programme Tor gaining their ends !,
and, contrary 10 all ussges and customs.
they irsued forth the ealri that no proxys
should be voted except the vote Of GER
tain County hich holds fourteen shares in
said road. This was voted by u certain
County official who has been somewhat
conspicuous. This programme Of course.
elected the old Board, who have Lcid their
office 80 long, and still want to hold it
during their natural lives.
These Directors are very economical.
They did not waht TO sp.nd the Com
pany's money to advertise the time Of
holding an eleciioR. The President Of
the Company gets only City dollars n
year for his services Us President which is
cheap. The Secretary and Treasurer re-
ceiye all the monies collected at the diff
ferent gates on said road. presume they
pay it all out for repsiIs on card rad. [
do not know what their salaries are Thew
are important Offices. aud should be wei
paid Tor them. The Directors get each two
dollars day and roast beef, aud when
there are any repairs TO be done on the
road, this economical Board Of Directors
does the work aud receives liberal price
for doing it,
But / am opposed to the Life Lease Sys-
TEN, and believe it TO be unconstitutional,
aud would like to see a change in the
Board of Directors; and'when a PROPOSE
ton was made TO them to leave out two Of
the old Board and put on two new ones in
eirplace, they said no. They hold on to
their officers like a dog to bone. 1t

A ContemptibIe Lie Nailed.

We understand that certain evil dis
posed persons in portions of this County
are circulating the report that during the
late war Col. Farquhar was offered CON-
mission in active service, but that he de-
clined to go to the front. The last issue
of the Democrat contains an article under
the caption "Rather Personal" making
the same insinuation. OF course this is
an open, palpable falsehood, and, as such,
known TO be by its authors.
Col. f., as a faithful officer, cheerfully
executed all the commands Of his superb.
ors, and never hesitated to perform any
duty to which he was assigned. So far
from Sinking service in the field, he made
special appeal to the War Department
to detail him to the command of the sd
Reg't Indiana Volunteers, to which Gov.
Morton had appointed him as Lieutenant
Colonel. This request was denied him,
the Government refusing to dispense with
his services US Chief Mastering and Dis

Common Pleas Court.

Judge Kibby has, with his usual indus
try, promptness and impartiality, dispatch
ed large amount of business at this term
of our Common Pleas Court, giving sat
isfaction to all, and unmistakable evil
dence Of his ability as a ripe lawyer and
an able judge, who will never permit the
purity Of the judicial ermine to be tar
nishcd in his hands, showing himself to
be gentleman Of sterling integrity who
will faithfully aud impartially administer
the law and dispense justice alike to all,
whether rich or poor, friends or foes
We deem it but simple justice to him to
say that these qualities render him pre-
emincntly fit to preside over the Common
Pleus Court, where constant vigilance and
unfinching integrity are indispensable to
the protection Of the widows and orphans
Of our State. If he will consent TO place
himself before the people for re. election,
bis past record will render opposition to
him futile, and insure his success with
the people. In fact, We think he will
have no opposition, unless by delay to an
nouuco himself as a candidate, the latent
ambition of some slerping po'itieiaa should
be aroused What say the other papers
