THE PROSPECT.

We had hoped in this issue to an
nouuce to our readers that "a Republi-
can would certainly be sent to Congress
from this District, that we should have
but one candidate in the field, and that
love Of principle, devotion to party
preservation, had triumphcd over bitter,
malignant hatred to persons. We lad
hoped to say that the wishes Of large
majority of the Republicans of this
District had been regarded however
they might have viewed the subject be-
fore Gen. Hubbard's northumberland
that Our party was again united at this
critical period. In this we are disap,
pointed. Men whose faith and honesty
we never have doubted, led on and ill.,
cited by those whose political princi-
Piles are but clay in the hands Of him
who may wish to buy, have placed in
tie field another candidate, with a sole
and avowed purpose OF beating Don
nelly and elccting a democrat. They
boast of this purpose, and declare their
intention to defeat Republican, even
if to do so they must vote for Eugene
Wilson. Defeat Republican whose
career has been an honorable one,
whose voice has ever been heard in be-
half of "equal rights for all men," in
support Of our party measures and
methods, and in vindication CT all those
brilliant shining truths that have rem
dcred our party SO conspicuous, and
whose record as firm, earnest, uncom-
promising Republicans is as yet with
out tarnish.
We cannot believe that the honest,
thinking members OF our party will en-
dcrse this movement. Every one must
see that the nomination of Gen. An
drews is the work Of men whose sole
and only design is to defeat Donnelly,
even if our party is dismembered, even
if the evil spreading like a summer
pestilencc over our entire State should
result, this winter, in a Democrat fol-
lowing Ramsey in the U. S., Senate,
and eventually lead to national disas-
ter and suffering, as it has once done,
in the case Of Norton. We beseech
the voters Of our party 10 bear in mlad
that the nomination is an unauthorized
one, that it has but one object in view
the defeat Of Donnelly and the election
OF Il Democrat, that it was planned and
executed by N'nneai oil men priuci.
pa'ly, who secure fellow .townsman
as member Of Congress, if Wilson
should succeed, and that realizing this
fact, men OF b. tn parties in that city
have contributed to fund with which
to defray tho expenses of this cam
paign. We DO not believe that tht
Republicans of Northern Minnesota
will aid in this scheme, and for tn.
sake of gratifying the spite Of few
men, encourage deliberate act. Of par
ty suicide.

IT makes the blood of honest Repub-
licaps bell to think that they should he
asked to vote for man like G. G. An.
drews, who after making the strongest
charges against Mr.. Don''n'.elly, sinks
away when challenged to meet him.
What would such man be like in Con:

D),onneellly, and where loose P':' as! assertions
would receive instantly the .rebuke they
so richly deserved -. -; f. =

>"OTHER APPOINTMENTS"

Follow man for years with infamous
lies and when asked to substantiate
them cry, "other appointments" Per-
secute hin with vile attacks, tarnish
bis reputation with unprincipled asser-
lions, assault bis public career with the
vilest Of uDtruths, aud when challenged
to vindlcate such conduct plead "other
appointments" In a public meeting,
denounce and accuse one who was
Republican years before you quit beg
ging for Office in the Democratic party,
and when his friends demand of you to
appear before the people and justify
such proceeding, follow the example
of your sponsor, f. b. Washburn, pr>f:
it by his teachings under the same cir
cumstances, do as he bids you and say
you have "other appointments" Per-
haps you might carry the parallel fur.
Their by going to New Hampshire as
Elihu did, and We are quite certain
your absence would not affect your vote
this fall.
In order that Gen. Andrews might
not have an opportunity to say that the
foregoing action was unauthorized, Mr..
Donnelly also challenged him to discuss
this affair upon next Saturday night.
This he also declines.
Now as charges have been made
which it appears are not to be proven
~ publicly as asserted-wc propose to
make some, aud If proof Of their cor
rectness is demanded, "other appoint.
ments' will be disrcgarded, that it may
be forthcoming. We charge that G.
G. Andrews, Brevct Candidate for Con
gress, had made no appointments al
the time this challenge was rendered
and that no notice Of such appointment:
had been given. We charge that tho
list of appointments referred to by Gen
Andrews was carried by him to Mime
apolis, after his letter was written. ant
that 1t has not yet been published
We further charge that he did not com
mence to fill these convenient appoint.

he should, but remained in Mlnneapo

There is but ono conclusion for
person to arrive at upon this matter
which is, that Gen. Andrews canno
prove his reckless accusations, aud tia
even, in bis own town, he dare not at
tempt it,
We believe Mr.. Donnelly to be .
warm friend of the Northern Pucif'
Railroad, as he has always been to ever,

"OTHER APPOINTMENTS"

ST. CLouD, MIMI, Oct. 18th, 1868.
Gen. c.. C. Andrew,, St. Cloud, MINI.
S1R.-On behalf Of the Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly, the undersigned, committee Of
his friends, challenge you to meet him in
debate on the evening Of the 18th inst,
then and there to substantiate the charges
made by you against him in your speech
accepting the nomination for Congress, at
St. Paul, ON the Sth inst. An early reply

A letter Of which the foregoing is
copy, was presented to Gen. Andrews
on last Monday morning. He had ia
ken occasion in his speech of accept
ance at St. Paul, to charge Mr.. Don
nelly with hostility to the Northern Pa
ci6c Railroad, and opposition to the
various schemes of retrenchment lately
considered in Congress-charges that
be knows are as false as il his assertion
that he believes he may be elected to
Congress, or the one that he is not
tool in the hands OF the Washburn fam
lily. It was considered just and proper
that these charges so vindictively made,
should be substantiated by this gentle
man Who has used them for his stock
in trade for the past year, and in pub
lie manner. But he declined, and it is
fortunate for him that he did So. Had
he not, Mr.. Donnelly would have pune
tured, perforated and riddled his body
more successfully even than did Gov
Miller in the campaign of 1860, a,
which time this Nashburn idol was up
on the Democratic Electoral Ticket
His letter declining this opportunity Of
defending his malicious assertions is as
follows:

House VS.. senate.

The debate in the Senate on the House
resolution calling for the proceedings of
the Senate on the last two days of the i'm
neachment trial was interesting. Mr..
Buckalew, and Mr.. Dixon, and Mr.. Doc
little did not seem to admire the action of
the House, and MIR. Conkling tRadieal)
spoke with manly indignation of the filthy
abuse heaped upon senators, which, he init
mated was the product Of party heat and
slicentious spirit. The impeachers affected
TO believe that there was no connection be-
tween the copy called for and the star
chamber inquisitiOn under Mr.. Bingham's
management; but several were anxious
that inquiry should go. None of them, save
by very remote implication, endorsed these
wretched calumnies, and as for the sena-
tors whose names have been made the tar
get for special abuse, they, saysthe National
inteEgencer, sat as nneoncerned and con-
temptuous, apparently, as if it were only
some newborn fly buzzing about the room
and trying to excite attention.
Mr.. Davis spoke of Sumner as follows:
During the debate on the adoption of the
Constitution of the United States twas
proposed that the President be tried on i'm
parchment by the Supreme Court. Sup
pose that was the practice now, and that
the chief justice had declared in advance
that tie President was guilty, and had, be-
sides, denounced him as o member Of this
court did The would eek the Senate whether
the chief justice would be tolerated for a
moment for his indecent and outrageous
conduct? The impeachment of the CHIEF
justice himself in such case would be de-
If ever member of q cour,
merited impeachment and the condemna-
ton and scorn of the world, it would be the
chief justice so acting and expressing him
self. He MIR. Davis] could see no. differ
cnce between that culpable and execrable
conduct of the chief justice and that Of the
denunciations of the President by the sena-
tor from Massachusetts,. He thought the
senator Mr.. Sumnerl deserved richly, and
ought to receive, the sentence of expulsion
from the Senate of the United States. tf

of Illinois, introduced on Monday q bill,
which was referred to the Committee on
Post-ofices and Post-roads, for the con-
struction of Government telegraph, under
the direction Of the Post-of6ce Department,
between New York and Washington. No
message shall be sent over the line unless
stamped with three-cent postage stamp,
and there shall be "a uniform rate for the
transmission Of messages, without regard
to distance, of one cent for each word,
exclusive Of address and signature, but no
message shall be sent for less than ten
cents and two cents shall be charged for
the delivery. Government dispatches shall
90 free, and be entitled to priority. News
Diaper kilograms shall be transmitted at o
reduction not exceeding fifty per centum
on their rates. Seventy-dve thousand dol
lars is appropriated for the purpose OF
establishing the line. Il

CABINET sRuMoRs.-There5 IL evidently
something in therumors of Cabinet changes.
In sitting the reports TO that effect l. find it
probable that McC ulloch win be removed,
and Mr.. Groesbeck nominated to the Senate
as Secretary of the Treasury as soon as
things settle down. Mr.. cCulloch, ], learn,
has been fairly caught in carrying wafer
on both shoulders = in the impeachment
imbroglio. 1t is said he tempered with
Wade for continuance in his position. Old
( Ben is too honest to be approached in that
way without prompt exposure! Mr.. Sew
ard, hear, Is really DESTROYS Of retiring
probably to London. Mr.. 'Eyarts or Mr..
Adams, it is thought, will supply his place.
Judge Capron, of Indiana, is spoken of in
well-informed circles as likely also to be
brought into the Cabinet. Igiye these ON
dts for what they are worth, with a decided
inclination to give them full credence.--

PURGE THE SENATE.-The disappointed
Radicals propose to expel the independent

yesterday says:
IF in the conflict there are senators who
stand in her way, they will not do so after
her private accounts with them have been
settled. We still expect to see Andrew
Johnson convicted of the charges upon
which he has been tried, and the lawyers
conspiracy subjected to an overthrow which
can scarcely be more inglorious than the
brief triumph over which its abettors are
now timorously chuckling.'

REFORMS IN RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.-
In these days of universal growing at rail
roads it is we'll (says the New York 1sneS)
to be just, and to give praise when we can.
Two valuable reforms have appeared which
deserve commendation. On the New York
and New Haven railroad the employees of
trains and stations have been put in uni
form-a little fact which Of itself will have
great effect in helping discipline and pro-
noting the comfort of passengers corre-
spondingly. And on one Of the New Jersey
roads the very admirable plan has been
introduced Of giving checks for seats as
well as transportation, 80 that o man-and
what is more to the point, w9man-can
send early to secure seat, and then not
run the risk of anxiety, hurry, discomfort,
and possible loss of all resting place by
accidental delay in getting to the train.
People who are willing topay for the extra
accommodation ought to have it;. and, on
the other hand, people who are inclined to
greedily absorb more than their share OF
seats with baggage, &c., will not be able to
incommode other people. These are both
good ideas, and we should like to see them
generally adopted. s. $780,

PURCHASE OLA RAILRoAD.-The Penn
sylvania Central Railroad Company has
bought the Pittsburg, Columbus, and Gin
cinnati railroad. The latter road, known
as the Panhandle route, runs from Pitts
burg to Columbus, over the Columbus, Chi
cago, and Indiana railroad, Uia Piqua and
Logansport, to Chicago, and is the shortest
route from New York and Philadelphia Uaa
Pittsburg and Chicago. The line crosses
the east and west roads between Columbus
and Chicago, and all north and south roads
between New. York and the Mississippi,
so that, in connection with the Logans-
port, Peoria, and Burlington railroad, it
constitutes an almost direct AIRLINE from
Philadelphia to Burlington and Keokuk.
This route is likely to prove a formidable
competition with the Fort Wayne road.
