The Union Pacific Railroad.

OMAHA, August 17.--As the construction
train on the Union Pacific railroad was back
ing towards Fremont Station, Saturday
evening, while three miles west of Fremont,
the caboose car struck COW and threw
that and several cars loaded with lumber off
the track, causing a frightful destruction of
life and limb among the men, who were air
employees.
Five men are reported killed and twelve
wounded, two of whom are reported dead
to-day.
The road is clear again and trains are
running as usual

WATERING Republican Reflect for mo-
mentl This is the first Presidential election
since the war And yet the rebels ask to
be rewarded for attempting to destroy the
Union and putting its defenders to an ex-
pense of oceans of blood and three billions
of treasure, by being intrusted, on the very
first occasion, with its management and
control That is just as If you had caught
couple of marauders, after they had MUIR

pardon, demand to be intrusted with tine

1t is ascertained that agents of the French
government have been actively engaged in
different parts of this country during the
past three months in purchasing long forage
for the French army. Horses suitable for
cavalry and artillery purposes have also
been purchased by them. A considerable
amount of the long forage for France has
already been shipped to New York for trans.
shipment across the Atlantic.

SINCE Gen. Hartranft has occupied the

dollars. Not even the btterest partizan has
been found to deny his impartial and most

We are confident, therefore, that the people
will re'elect him in October by a majority
which shall attest their appreciation of his

H As the annual township elec-
tions are now over, and the time has
come for the new officers to qualify,
it is good time to call the attention
of Trustees to the matter Of Treas
urer's bonds. The school law re-
quires that before the Treasurer en-
ters upon the discharge of the duties
of his Office, he shall execute bond,
with two or more sureties, in an
amount at least double the estimated
amount of money that will be in his
hands at any time. The law further
provides that the County Auditor
shall not pay to township Treasurer
an amount Of school money exceed
ing one-haif the amount Of his bond.
Heretofore many of the Treas urer's
bonds did but little more than cover
the amount of money received
Trustees will thus perceive the ne
cessity Of looking more particularly
into this matter. In looking over
the payments of school funds last
February, we find that the lowest
amount paid to any one Treasurer
was $3.50, while some Treasurer's re-
ceived as high an amount as $4,000,
and upwards. This shows that the
bonds should run from $4,000 to
$4,000.

R Our democratic Legislature
have been spending their time for
the past week or two in discussing
and perfecting bill to prevent" "visi-
Bile admixture" persons from voting.
Such work is simply reckless waste
of the peoples money, as they know,
as we'll as any one else, that such
sort oflegislation is purely unconsti-
tutional, and has been often declared
such by the Supreme Court The
Legislature has no more authority to
legislate upon the question Of suf-
frage than they have for the people
of Asia. That matter is fixed by the
Constitution. and if there is any dis
pute as to its meaning, the Supreme
Court is the appointed tribunal for
determining that dispute. This is the
truth of the matter, as every one
knows. We say, therefore, that the
Legislature, in giving up Its time to
the discussion Of this question Of wis
ible admixture" suffrage, is to that
extent recklessly and wastefully ex-
pending the peoples money. We
have no objection to buncom5e legls-
lation, provided the people are not
taxed to pay for it.

H 1t will berem embered that the
editor of the Dispatch, last fall, in his
usual refined way, pitched into the
Judges of election of the Sd Ward, in
this city, for receiving votes from
visible admixture" persons, charac-
terizing the, act as "gross crime
charging the Judges with having
'perjured themselves" and threaten
ing them with sll manner Of criminal
prosecutions. On Monday last, in
this same ward, a majority Of the
Judges were.democrats, but, having
taken an oath to support the Con-
stitution Of the. State Of Ohio, and
being honest men, and not simply
partisans, they permitted these same
visible admixture" persons to vote
unehallenged, well knowing that any
other course was an Infringement of
the laws of the State, and violation
of their oath of Office. We commend
them for their honesty. But what
viii the Dispatch man now say. If
twas "gross crime"last fall-if the
then Judges perjured tbemselves"--
how stands the account now2 Will
he dare to say of these Judges what
he said of those last fall. And if he
does not, what is his situation? 1t
makes him a slanderer and villifer
simply for party purposes. We
await the result. 'f21 -.

In the Ohio LesisIature. ,

Ew In the Ohio Legislature, on
the 2sth ult., the vote by which the
bill making an appropriation for
clearing out Raccoon river was lost
was recensidered, and the further
consideration of the bill was post
ponpd till the third Monday OF Jan
uary, 1869. Then it will meet with
the same fate from this democratic
Legislature that it did on the fret
vote. In the meantime, by being
held as an open question, the leaders
hope to gull some few voters into the
belief that it viii pass the next time,
and thus use it to benefit the party.
That, is all this reconsideration
means. 1t is merely q bait to catch
votes. But they have shown their
regard for this section in the first
vote, by which the bill was killed.
and this after thoughtof reconsidera.
tion will not relieve them from. the
censure Of = scrutinizing public. If
the majority wished to pass it, or had
any intention to do So. it eeuld just
as well be done now as iua January,
1869; but they do not intend to do
any such, thing, and We may as we'll
make up our minds new as hereafter,
that this important improvement is
to receive no help from the present
democratic legislature.

A Murderer Arrested.
The Ironton Register says:


On last Saturday. Marshal Morgan
arrested q man riding horseback,
through the streets, on suspicion of
his being a horse thief. The man
said be was from Jackson, to which
place telegram was sent, but no re-
ply was received, on account Of the
wires having, in the meantime, given
way. The arrested individual was,
however, put in Jail. On Sunday
afternoon the Sheriff of jackson Co.,
arrived here, and gave the first intel
hgence that the man was John Ryan,
who had, the week before, in cold
blood, murdered Mr.. Doherty, of
jackson. The murdered and muir
derer were relatives, and the foul
deed was committed by Ryan on &C
count of some property that would

Doherty. Ryan was taken back to
jackson on Sunday afternoon. He
was strongly chained and hand cuff
ed, Soon after being placed on the
steamer Robert Moore he made an
effort to throw himself into the river.
He seemed the very picture ofhope
lessness and dispair. ~

WASHINGTON, April S

w AsHINGToN, Aprn D.
Judge Carter will open the case on
behalf of the President on Thursday
next. At its conclusion, testimony
for the defense will be submitted
Beyond members of the Cabinet, it is
not now expected that more than six
or eight witnesses will be examined.
Considerable documentary evidence
will he submitted. 1t is expected
that the Cabinet will be called to
prove that Mr.. Lincoln held many OF
the views regarding reconstruction
which johnson holds in opposition
to Congress. That they urged their
views on Lincoln and afterwards on
johnson. That they advised John
son to veto the Tenure of Office bill,
gave him an opinion that it was un
constitutional, and not binding on
him, and that he ought to test the
question in the Courts, and that to
do so he had removed Stanton with
the purpose of getting it before the
Courts. His counsel do not expect
any circumstances to arise which will
prevent the case proceeding to final
hearing.
The question regarding the Presi-
dent having any intention of resign
ing seems to be put at rest by the
fact that the arguments on the part
of the defense, must come in subse-
quent to the time when any fit occa
sion for resignation can arise. The
counsel are protesting unfounded
confidence in his acquital, though
this is by no means shared by large
portion of the Presidents friends.
Mr.. Stanbery is to close the case,
preceded by Mr.. Evarts. Whether
the other members of the counsel will
speak depends upon the action of the
Senate. The rule in the matter pre-
scribes that the case shall be closed
by two on each side, unless the Sen.
ate shall agree that others may speak
It 10 understood that the Managers
will ask that the rule be
suspended for them, and if this is
done, counsel will receive the same
indulgence 1t is known that Gen
Logan desires to speak. Gov. Bout
we'll has been assigned to the general
up Of the case. Mr.. Will
Jams has an argument on the charac
ter Of impeachsble offenses, and both
House and Senate desire to hear VIII
son. 1t is supposed Mr.. Stevens
health will not allow him to take any
prominent part On the side of the
Presidents counsel, Mr.. Grosebeek is
very anxious to speak, AZ be has taken
10 part whatever 10 the present time. |
When sll the others have finished,

Impeachment Trial.

The trial of Andy Johnson Presi.
dent of the United States, upon the
charges of high crimes and misdemean.
ors, was fairly began on Monday.
March 3oth. The first day was occu-
pied in the opening speech of Hon. B.
F. Butler, on the part of the Managers.
This speech is spoken of as very able
and mastery exhibition of the usurpa,
tions of the President, and will add
greatly to the fame of Its author as a
lawyer.
Especial Dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON. March 81.
The trial began in the Senate to-day
at IL O'Clock, the House being announc-
ed few minutes before.
The Chief Clerk of the Senate testi-
fed to serving the notice of the nom
concurrence in the removal o Stanton,
on the President, at 9 O'Clock on the
night after the action taken thereon,
and that Mr.. johnson was not present.
1t will be remembered that the state
ment was made at the trial that the
President did not learn, of the action of
the Senate till an hour or two after Gen.
Grant had turned the Office over to
Stanton. ~
The testimony of Chas. Creery ap-
pointment clerk sof the Treasury De-
partment, was listened to attentiyely as
it showed recognition by the Presi-
dent, of the validity of the Tenure-ef-
Office law. The point of the evidence
was, that in the appointments made by
the President, prior to the passage of
that act, the appointee was authorized

President Four days after this bill
became q law, the form of commission
was changed SO that in place of the

President" it read, until removed by,

~ Every two weeks the Ohio
Legislature adjourns over from Fri
day until Tuesday, thus spending
about one fifth of their time in doing
nothing for the State while drawing
pay from its Treasury. We should
not care how often they adjourned,
nor for how long term, if it were
not that they draw pay for attending
to the interests of the State while at
home, or elsewhere, attending to their
own private interests. They cannot
appropriate $4,000 to help forward
a great public improvement, like the
cleaning out and widening of Rae
coon river, but they can use the
;-r-Ji.5 sL~-.~l-.-
for time when absent in attendance
upon individual interests. If they
would forego their pay for two or
three of these adjournments, and ap.
propriate the money thus saved to
the work of cleaning out Raceoon
river, it would be much more accept
able to the tax payer.
