LETTER FROM SEDALIA, MO.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Oct. 10, 1868.
An excursion party over the Union Pacific
Railroad creates almost as much excitement
and enthusiasm in this country as the Presi-
Dental election. At this pretty little village
we rest tonight, and tomorrow will 60 west
ward to Kansas City, and thence proceed on
towards the place whore tho ''star of empire
takes its way" over the Union Pacific Rail-
road, Eastern Division.
Sedalia is the county seat of Pettis county,
Missouri, located one hundred and eighty-nine
miles from st. Louis and ninety-four from
Kansas City. 1t is city of seven thousand
inhabitants, large number of whom assem-
bled at the depot with fine band of music
and extended hearty welcome to the excur-
sionists, amid the booming of cannon and
other demonstrations. The elves House" and
other buildings were brilliantly illuminated,
and everything indicated pleasure and rejoic-
ing. Indeed, / greatly doubt whether the
arrival of Grant and Colfax or Seymour and
Blair would have produced more enthusiastic
welcome.
The party numbers twelve ladies and forty
five gentlemen, all under the care and protec-
tion of Colonel G. N. Pratt, ]. M. Webster,

Too Late /!

Androw Johnson yesterday sent
to the Senate the nomination Of
Thomas Ewing as Secretary of
War in the regular way, together
with a letter explaining that he
did not intend to violate any law
in his summary proceedings of last
Friday. The lions skin is already
off, and the animal of long ears
stands trembling under tho lash.
Never was there a moro ignomini-
GUS back down. The nomination
of Ewing is an afterthought. When
the humble individual found that
tho Democrats did not rally 10 his
standard and offer to defend him
against the consequences of his
crime and share his punishment,
his knees smote together, and he
began to explore tho avenues Of es-
cape. Ilhe had wanted Ewing for
Secretary of War. he knew it last
Friday, and could have nominated
him then. Ifhe had wanted Thom.
as he could have nominated him,
instead of assuming to appoint him
without the concurrence OF Tho
Senate. But he wanted to COM
mend himself to the Copperhead
party by defying the law, and cx-
posing himself to impeachment.
He finds himself without allies,
with impeachment close upon him,
and he seeks now to compromise
with the officers of Justice Chica-
go Tribune.

incredible that his emiiicl
advisers have not informed -
that, as n rule, notof law only, but
also OF common sense, the terms
used in a statute must be interpre.
ted according to their we'll settled
legal acceptation. Now, taken in
that sense, tho term for which
President Lincoln who appointed
Mr.. Stanton, was elected has not
yet expired, and will not expire
until the 4th of March, 1869, and
the term which Mr.. johnson is
now filling is the remainder of Mr..
Lincoln's term. not new term of
bis own. The Constitution knows of
but one Presidential term, that of
fonr years, and it makes no pro-
vision for an earlier expiration of
that torn, except in the single case
of the death of both the President
and the Vice President, who is to
succeed him; in which event new
election for the President is to bo
held. This points so we'll settled,
that are there those who go still
further. and are OF opinion that
even the death ofthe President and
Vice President would not put an
end to the term, and that the newly
elected President would hold his
office only to the end ofhis pred
ecessor's full term. Such a quib:
bic as this might be excusable in
the defense of a thief in a Magis.
trates Court, but is entirely un.
worthy of a President Of the Uni
ted States.

ESoLASD AND TUE United
STATEs.-At a meeting of tho
Friends Of America, held in Lon
don on Tuesday evening of last
week, after strong speeches by
JOHN BRIaHr and NEWMAN HALL,
the latter expressing a confident
belief that tho Alabama claims
would lead TO war if not promptly
settled, the following resolution
was adopted unanimously: "Resolu-
ed, That this meeting expresses
the most hearty and good will to
ward America, and pledges itself
to support any government at
home in its efforts to effect prompt,
righteous and pacific settlement OF
all international differences, and
especially of those connected with
the Alabama claim question"

They have riches; but, as yet,
no search has been able to find
for them that rare apd precious

buildcd a good deal. But though
they cap keep out the Weather
the winters cold, the summers
heat, and exclude light, and sound
and dust, as yet they have not been
able to keep out care, sickness,
sorrow and hcartache. Mol can.
not conscientously recommend you
10 become very rich man. 1t is
not "ensy" to do, and still less
"easy" after it is done.
Don't be an editor if you would
be "easy." Do not try the law. A.
void bookkeeping. Keep out Of
the pulpit. Let alone all ships,
stores, shops and merchandise.
Abhor politics. Keep away from
lawyers. Don't practice medicine.
Be not farmer, nor mechanic {:
neither a soldier nor sailor. Don't
study. Don I think. Don't work.
Mono of them are easy. Oh, my
honest friend, you are in very
hard woridl / know of but one
real "easy" place in it. That
place is the Grave!
How is it in Lancaster? Can
they not servo you there? Even
