The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1868-04-09
A Liar Nailed.

The Chicago Tribune takes up cor
respondence which it finds in the Times
and comments on it at length. The
correspondent claims to have been Re
publican; we believe he lies about that but
if he don't he has left the party for the
party good. The writer in the Times
commences as follows: rs q.
''It is now over two years since could
no longer adhere to the unreasonable and
SELF fcontradicting course of the Republic
an party.
He then proceeds to spin out balder-
dash in style that justi6es the old adage
lone rengade is worse than ten Turks.
He seems to have deserted his party about
the time johnson did, and is evidently
fit follower of such leader. We have
selected few of his statements as 'speci-
menbricks" of the whole article:
The tax-gathcrs are now passing
around, astonishing the people with the
enormous amounts they are demanded to
pay. 1t Is not uncommon for ordinary
farmers in Illinois to pay from $IUl to 500
! tax.
What tax gatherers-Federal or State?
Farmers pay no tax to the general govern
| ment on any agricultural product what
ever. No Federal tax -gatherer ever calls
| on them for cent, except on their in
come, and they are allowed to deduct

gatherers passipgaraund astonishing peo-

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
IMPEACHMENT.

The trial OF the president has been
prosecuted with vigor and we shall prob.
ably know the result before great while.
That the president will be impeached nc
one seems to doubt, though the gentle
man may resign before the event takes
place. Some of the latest testimony
taken showsth the president speeches
while "swingin' round" were reported cor
rectly; that he accused Congress of al
most everything that was wrong, and
which would be likely to bring that body
into contempt with the people providing
his statements were credited. 1t has
also been shown that the president sent
kilograms to the southern governors which
he had no right to send, as it was a
denial on his part of the right of Con
gress to legislate In regard to reconstruc-
ton. We give specimen:
r MONTGOMERY, Jan. 18th, 1867.

The Legislature is in session. Efforts
are being made to reconsider the vote on

that an enabling act will pass. We do

The following proceedings closed the
examination of witnesses for the prosecu-

WASHINGTON, April 4.
After the recess, Messrs Boutwell,
and Wilson read from certain Executive
documents to show that the President
had recognized the Tenure Of Office act.
Mr. Butter then said the examination

Mr.. Curtis said the counsel for the

the proposition of the Managers. He
proposed that when the Court adjourn,
it be to meet on Thursday next, in order
to allow time to prepare proof and to
have some understanding in regard to
the manner of prosecuting the trial.
Mr. Conness moved to adjourn till
Wednesday.

city out by the Rocky Mountains:
Cheyenne may almost be called one OF
the wonders of the world Its growth
has been very rapid. Last July there
was not house here; now they can be
numbered by hundreds, and itsinha bitants
by thousands, although there is undoubt-
edly large floating population.
The town site was first located by
Engineer Brown, of the Union Pacific
Railroad, who was shortly after killed
by Indians near the town.
The first building was erected on the
9th of July, 1867, and at this date the
population is said to exceed five thousand.
1t IS situated on the Union Pacific Rail
road, 5l7 miles west Of Omaha and 527
miles east Of Salt Lake City, 11O miles
north of Denver and S5 miles south of
Fort Laramie. Fort d. A. Russell is
about two miles northwest of the city,
and Is garrlsoned by about ! 100 troops
under command of General, j. D. Ste
venson. The fort is situated on Crow
Creek, which runs through the city. The
United States Arsenal will be built at the
fort this summer Cheyenne is located
at the eastern base of the Laramie Noun
talns, or Black Hills, at an elevation of
5000 feet above the sea level. The
Union Pacific Railroad Company, it is
said, expect to employ 5000 men on
their works in this city the coming sum

The floating population. as you may
suppose, is decidedly ''mixed," consist
ing of miners, mule drivers, 'bullwhack-
ers, and a sprinkling of Eastern men on
their way to the mines. The former class

themselves outside of more whisky than
you can imagine.
Our amusements are varied and enter

dance houses, gambling hells, dog fights

OUR NORTH CAROLINA LETTER.

EDS TRIBUNE
My long silence will be pardoned when
you learn of my present location Again
among the unreconstructed! Yes! and
unregenerated, if fidelity to ones country
is reckoned among the cardinal principles
of regeneration, for never in the darkest
hour OF our reverses was there a more
hostile feeling to our Governments more
determined antipathy to the principles
of universal freedom. than is evident in
the every action of large majority of
the white population of this State at the
present moment The Constitution which
| the Convention have adopted is -particu-
iarly obnoxious to large majority, for
several reasons: 1st is proposes to tax all
property real and personal for the pur-
poses of building School Houses, MAIN
tanning Schools etc, etc. End, the Poll
tax is to be limited to two dollars per
capita! and this is all to be expended for
the support, and maintainence of the
poor; this Is the most Objectionable OF
all And Sd that all children irrespective
of color shall be admitted to the same
Schools. The idea that the children o.
the proud aristoerat must occupy the
same seat and contend for the same honors
as the children of the despised African i:

The great subject which interests you
correspondent at the present time in thi
country is the Development of the yary
rich Gold Mines which have been known
to exist in this State for many years, bu
like all other resources of the Slave
States it has lain dormant and would have

The Murder of McGee.

OTTAWA, April AT half past two
this morning. Darcy McGee was shot
dead by some unknown assassin who
entered the house where he lodged, on
Sparks street. The ball passed through
his head and lodged in the door which he
opened. The son of the landlady came
up soon after. and found the body on the
pavement. He saw no person In the
neighborhood and heard no footsteps.
The night was clear and bright, and the
assassin must have been behind the fence
or in vacant lot opposite. or else he
made very hasty retreat.
Nc Gee had just left the Parliament
House. The brains exuded, and the
sidewalk was covered with blood which
indicated that the weapon was held close
to his head. No traces of the assassin
have been discovered,

Mrs. Stowe, in one of her Chimney
Corner essays, gets off the following good
things which it would be we'll to think Of
I'm all this talk about the rights OF
men, and the rights of women, and the
rights of children; the world seems to
be forgetting what is quite as important
the duties of men, women, children.
We all hear of our rights till we forget
our duties; and even theology is beginning
to concern Itself more with what man ha:
right to expect of his Creator than
what the Creator has a right to expect o.
man.

WHAT MAKES A CITY GRow.-The
Philadelphia Bulletin has very sugges-
tive article on the causes which make a
city grow. There are many causes that
are beyond the control of the citizens,
such asnatural increase, advantages ofsit-
uation, comm munication, and production
but it is contenaed that the character
which It's inhabitants give to city has
vastly more to do with its growth than all
other causes put together. In other
words, the public spirit of the citizens
determine the growth of city. A city
attracts population when it is free from
debt, and living therefore comparatively
cheap. and when, from its many opportu-
mites for instruction, rational amusements,
and healthful recreation, it becomes de-
sirable place to live in. There is con-
slant tendency among those who have ac-
quired a competency in this country to
diff towards the cities. and especially to
the cities which furnish the most facilities
for living cultivated and pleasant life.
In this view, it is seen that the public
spirit which invests a city with fine
churches, parks, rational and refined
amusements, public schools, art galleries,
concert halls, public libraries, etc., is in
reality most common sense business
spirit. The more public improvements
of this sort we haye, the more certainly
we will draw to our city an increase of
permanent residents. Money invested in
hese enterprises will soon be amply re-
paid in the growth Of the city. and, the
growth OF the city means prosperity of
the inhabitants .i s.,t.H
