The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad.
1t is predicted that at the election of new
officers, which takes place this week, this
immense corporation will change hands, and
be- under entirely new control. The people
of Milwaukee are elated over the prospect,
because it is alledged that under the new
order Of things, the tide of business which
this road and its branches control, will lie
turned to Milwaukee, Instead of Chicago as
heretofore. The city of Cbica-
90 processes to be rather Indifferent in the
matter, because it has SO many channels OF
trade, that the loss Of this one, viii not effect
perceptabIe difference in the business OF
that city. The election takes place to day
| Thursday and the result will determine
whether the predictions of change are true.
We take tho following from the Chicago
Post:
The annual election of President and di-
rectors of the Chicago and rthwestern
Railroad takes place next Thursday. 1t is
generally understood that Hon. VIM. B.
lOgden of this city, and Henry Keep, Esq
of New York. are the contestants for the
Office of President, but it is reliably reported
that Mr. Keeps name will not be used, and
that he will positively decline the Office Oh
the 38 900, 900 capital of the road, it is said
that Mr.. Keep controls 80, 600, 000 80 thai
the result will be as he shall decide. Mr.
Ogden WILL in all probability, be elected
but will only retain the Office few months
and upon his resignation Mr.. Prescott o.
New York, who is to be elected to the vice
Presidency and is a particular friend of Mr.
Keep, will succeed to the Presidency. These
are predictions made by railway men who
are supposed to be posted Messrs Keep
Sykes, and other railway maguates are nov
in the city, and about sixty others leav'
New York to day, arriving here on Wednes
q day by the Pittsburg aud Fort Wayn
! Road. The olectinn will be an occasion G
, unusual interest in railroad circles, and tn
policy adopted will have an important in
terest on this city
1t is said that if the road falls into new
e hands, the extension from Madison to ST
/ Paul will be given up, and the trade an
travel of the Northern Mississippi regio
will as far as possible be turned to the Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railroad, with vie.
of benefting Milwaukee whose people ar
beginning to congratulate themselves OF
the prospect. There is little anxiety in thi
city, however, over the result, as the futur
of Chicago is too great to be dependent Oh
the actions of railroad managers.

will be held in Brooklyn N. Y. The sys-

To Gen. Jos. Il. Haapley, Pres dent of the Ma.

In formally accepting the nomination OF
the National Union Republican Convention
OF the 2lst OF May inst, il seems proper that
some statement OF my views beyond the mere
acceptance OF the nomination should be Elk
pressed. The proceedings of the Convention
were marked with wisdom, moderation and
patriotism, and, [ believe, express the feel

the country through its trial. [ endorse these
resolutions. If elected to the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States, it will be my en-
deavor to administer all the laws in good
faith, with economy and with view OF giving
peace, quiet and protection everywhere. In
times like the present it is impossible or at
least eminently improper, to lay down a
policy to be adhered to, right or wrong,
through an adminlstl alton offour years New
political issues not foreseen are constantly
arising; the views ofthe public on old ones
are constantly changing, and purely admin

MADISON DEMooRAT.-There have been
several attempts within the past two years
or more to sustain Democratic Journal at
Madison, but these efforts have failed. A
paper entitled the Madison Democrat, has
just made its appearance it is handsomely
printed und evinces considerable adroitness
IN revamping the old charges against the
Republican party. The editor A. E. Gordon,
In his salutatory likens himself to David the
iSrseIite singer. By his assumption of
Ehis character, the editor means every one

nary dexterity in throwing stones at people

Religious Intolerance,

A religious body called the Synod of the
Reformed Presby terian Church. in session
last week in the city Of Pittsburg, Pa, sus-
pended Mr.. George II. Stuart from the
church Mr.. Stuart is distinguished
philantbropist, and holds the position of
President of the American Christian Com
mission. The offence of which be was
charged, and for which he was summariy
suspended, was that in defiance of a rule of
the church, he was in the practice of sing
ing hymns in union meetings with other
denominations. The rule Of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church, allows only the use OF
the inspired psalms in public worship.
If this body Of the christian Church, now
calling itself reformed" has really been
reformed, it is difficult to conceive what il
must have been before it took the name

SENATOR HOWE -Intimations were thrown

of the Senator in the impeachment case, in
which he presents opinions as clear and for

New SECRETARY OF Wharf.-The nolnina-
ton of Gen. Schofeld has been confirmed by
the Senate for the post Of Secretary of War
The war record of Gen Schofeld is a fair
one, and he is understood to be in harmony
with the Reconstruction measures Of Con
gress. President Johnson probably deemed
it useless, to send in the name of one of his
own rebel stripe, for there was not the
slightest chance for the confirmation of any
such by the Senate

A DlsooRD.-Since Gen. Grant has been
brought before the people for the Presidency,
the Democracy of course fell in duty bound
to try their skill at invention some charge
him with one thing, and some another quite
the opposite. The Democratic music is not
in harmony. The chief trouble is, so
many of the Democracy are trying their
hands at misrepresenting Grant, that they
make confusion and contradictions among
each other. They should appoint leader
as an inventor of objections; after the leader
has struck the key note, then the other ob
jectors might fall inland thus save much
discordance now manifest.

The NOMINATIONS. --The nominations OF
Grant and Colfax, are everywhere received
with enthusiasm by those who stood by
the country during the war of the rebellion
Not the first dissent has yet been heard
from any Republican Journal while many
who have hitherto occupied an equivocal
position, in respect to the two great politi-
cal parties of the day, have fallen into line,
and hoisted the names of Grant and Colfax
1t is hardly supposable case, that the
Democrats should be pleased with the nom
nation of Gen. Grant, since he proved so
damaging to their southern Democratic
brethren IN his military campaigns

John HI Surratt.

In speaking of the discharge of John H.
Surratt, the Charlottesville, Virginia,
Chronicle says that the probability is that
it is final
The prosecution seems to have been en-
tirely out-generalled, and in their chagrin
at defeat threaten to have the case brought
before the courts again. The extreme Rad
icals still thirst for blood, but public opin-
ion does not sustain them, and they will
have to be satisfied. In spite of their eff
forts and their great power for evil, the
country is gradually returning to therule
of law. The people do not desire any
more sacrifice on the shrine of sectional
prejudice and hate. Surratt undoubtedly
saved his life by his timely fight. If he
had been brought to trial with his mother
before military commission, Immediately
after the assassination of Lincoln, it is very
certain that his fate would have been like
hers--his innocence would not have avail
ed any more than hers, to save his life.

side, specializing On the result or betting drinks
or small sums of money to back up their opin-
ions. Not person in that crowd believed that
Schuyler stood the slightest possible chance Of
escaping with his life. These frontiersmen
could not believe that delicate built, gentle
manly man, with efFeminate face and fair hands
eOald be equal to such an encounter.
Many seconds elapsed before any noise was
heard then followed quick reports of the pis-
tolls. 1t was evident that deadly struggle was
going on, and one of the party seemed to have
fallen on the floor. Again seufile ensued, and
another body fell.
The persons in the bar room now joined those
up stairs, and, headed by the landlord, the den
was opened. A terrible sight of blood met the
eyes Ofthese men. Gamble was already dead,
and Schuyler lay on the floor insensible from
the loss of blood
Nothing could exceed the care that was be-
slowed upon Schuyler by his now enthusiastic
frontier admirers. They sat by his bedside and
watched him as their child. In few weeks he
was perfectly restored to health, and the people
of the country round came to thank him for his
prOwess. 1t is farther stated that by the advice
of his friend the landlord, who refused all remu-
neration for his hospitality, Schuyler went to the
capitol of the State, and obtained not only the
reward set upon the outlaws life, but also was
the recipient of a complimentary dinner from
the Governor and other high officials.
lie even had lucrative and honorable induce
ments held out to settle permanently in the COM
munity. But his experiences in the back woods
were not agreeable, and he returned to his ma
tive New York; considering its dangers and
temptations preferable to life in the pine for
ests of the South.
