Grant, it will be admitted on all sides
has no experience in civil affairs. Ed
ueated as he has been for a military
career, he has not given that attention
to affairs of state, so necessary for q
perfect and full understanding Of the
duties and responsibilities of the Chief
Executive of the nation. He was not
taken up as the candidate of the Re.
publican party on account of any pro-
uouuced sympathy with It, but solely
upon the score of availability, furnished
by his success as the leader Of our arm
les during the late rebellion. As he
has himself stated ''he has mo policy
Of his own, but will carry out in good
faith the will of the people," IF he
has the sagacity to discover what are
the true interests of the country, and
to be the President of the people and
not the CT feature of a party, he will win
the gratitude of all classes OF people,
irrespective of party. IF he does Sc,
however, be will lose his standing as a
Republican President, and the Demo-
Gratis of the next Congress will be call
ed upon to save him from impeacA-

of the Radical party full scope and
lends his sanction to the innumerable
schemes of corruption which venal
Congressman will attempts to carry
through, he will sink tofhe level of q
partisan President and make himself

Panic iR VIII Street.

Yesterday (Friday) We are informed
by telegraph, the excitement in Wal
street, in the city of New York, border
ed on the panic of 1857, and threatens
to equal it in scope and disaster that ii
is creating apprehensions among Bank
ers and Brokers, and has caRsed enor
nous depreciations in Stocks. Rail
way shares were sold by the thousand,
and Government Bonds by the millions.
Trade is standing still in all directions.
There is great danger that this panic
will extend all over the country, and
yet further add to the depression OF
business in the West. This is a very
poor return to the Western States for
giving tremendous majorities to the
Republican party on Tuesday. That
party, had it been equal to the emer-
gency, could have done much to arrest
this financial disaster. Doubtless, this
will furnish a fine incentive for the
people to joliify over the election OF

THE RALsToSs CONCLUDED.

The first Marriage within the limits
of Montgomery township is presumed
to have been soiemnized by James
Wallace Esq, a Justice of the Peace
within the present limits of Vermil-
lion township just prior to the erection
of Montgomery township; and the
parties-Mr. John Marley to Hiss
Eliza Trickle. The next marriage,
before the same Justice, was Mr.. John
Swagart to Miss Barbara Young
daughter of Jacob Young.
FIRST JUSTICES.
Montgomery township, was formed
out of the territory of Vermillion in
the spring of 1916, the particulars OF
which, will be given in their proper
place. Robert Ralston, and Daniel
Carter Sr. were elected Justices of
Peace, and commissioned by Gov.
Thomas Worthington at Chilicothe
Ohio, August IL, 1916. The vote at
this electioa was very small amount
ing to some 70 or so votes.
Ludwick Kline is presumed to have
been the first constable.

Doubtful States.

It will be observed that GRANT has
l52 votes in the Electoral College, fair
ly secured. In a fair election he could
not possibly have received the vote of
any other State than those counted to
make up that number. In an election
where the people were not foreibly and
unconstiutionally disfranchised, or pre-
vented from voting by military iutimi-
dation, SEYMOUR would have every
other State. The whole number of
electoral votes is 317 necessary to a
choice, 159. GRANT has but 152 vo-
ties. SEYMOUR should have, and would
have, but for violence and fraud. 165

general result.-Enq.

LETTER FROM SENATOR Upton.
WAsHrEerOp, D. c. May 18Th.


JARVIS S. CHURcH-DeGr Sir: am
not astonished that The friends of railroad
in Nemaha county are very anxious to
hear from their measure, the Brownville
and Fort Kearney Railroad.
Impeachment blocked everything. and
still holds all measures Of the kind back.
Before it came up, the officers of the
Central Pacific road from Atchison, Kan
sas, west, were here in full force for ad-
ditional aid for their road, which is com.
pleted one hundred miles, and although
hey got a report, and their bill became
a special order. and was backed up by
old and powerful friends, it has hung
fire for more than two months. And
when we get through the trial il will
have the precedence but | am of opin-
ion even il will not get attention till
after the waiting States from the South
are admitted /; and then so many men,
bers are to be reelected next fall that
there will be an effort 10 get away early.
and so many more are fearful of making
grants or appropriations that nc one can
guess what measures will receive final
action. The Hon. Mr.. Cavode, appreci-
ating these influences, said in my hearing
to DR.. Mcpherson and Col. Furnas, just
before they left for home would
rather enter into bond with security for
the passage of your bill, after the cleo
tiOn, than promise anything now" Mr..
Pomeroy, chairman of the committee on
lands. is our fast friend, and whatever
can be will be done for us. If any one
thinks | am Indifferent as to the result.
they do nae great injustice. My town
lots ga Broyvuviil5 and Iuud near Lung >
Bridge, need the stimulus. of a railroad
as much as any mans property IN the
Slate. so IN a selfish point of view | could
not be other than anxious. / wish the
road for the good of all; and knowing the
enterprise of the age demands it, no
effort shall be spared in that direction.

clearly of opinion that our constituents
are already disguised at the number of
adiournments we have recently had, and
| think that as the majority with which
l am identified are responsible for these
adjOurnments il is high time that we be-.
gin to look them in the face. If we
adjourn now for one week. we then have
a precedent for adjourning for the New
York convention We know that the
fall campaign will occupy the attention
especially of members of the House of
Representatives who are to be reelected
and we know the interest that Senator'S
will take in that campaign, and conse-
quently we are to have a short summer
session. The result of an adjournment
now is to cut off The maturing and con-
summaling of private bills and bills of a
local character, dearer to some of our
constituents than matters of general leg.
i~slation, and more needed in their esti-
nation. 1t is on our part, therefore, |
think. a REIMBURSEMENT of the private
bills and bills of local character to take
this adjournment noy and the consequent
additional adjournment which will fol.
low hereafter. For this reason, as the
summer session must necessarily be
short, / am utterly opposed to an ad-
iournment al this time. / am especially
opposed to hat adjournment from the
fact that the reconstructed States Of
which we have talked so much, and in
whose introduction here we are undoubt.
eddy so deeply interested, are waiting at
our doors to be admitted and when a
bill for their admission shall pass it has
70 run the gauntlet of the veto, and we
do not expect It's return here under ten
days from the time of its consumation,
and then it is to be passed over the veto
again, as has been the history hereto.
fore. Consequently, if we are to admit
these States at this session, it is high
time that We act upon the question, and
act promptly. Every interest that APP
peals to US as individuals aud as repre-
sentatives of the party that is responsible
to this country for Its Legislation at TIE
present time impera:ively demands that
we be found at our posts continuously
until we adjourn for the session.
As to putting the Hall in better trim
for the summer, / see nothing in that
suggestion. If we remain here now we
shall have a session of but perhaps six
weeks, and there is no remodeling neces-
sary either for our comfort, or our health.
In no view which / can take of the
question can / see any reason whatever
why we should adjourn now after the re-
peated a~djournments we have so recently
had, and which have worked out such
marvellous results as they have in the
consumation of the vote Of this morning.
