Grant should be Inpcached.

No one believes Grant will be i'm
reached while there are but few hon
est, canded men in the whole nation
who are not convinced that he ought
to be, and could be successfully if men
who have sworn to sustain the Con-
stitution and the laws could be relied
upon to keep their oaths.
The Washington Patriot has sum
med up the crimes and misdemeanors
that could be established against
Grant in the following order:
"He conspired with degraded dema-
gogucs of foreign countries, with whom
no colorado treaty elections existed,
for the use of the ships, arms, and
men Of the United States navy, in
furtherance of schemes of personal
ambition and private plumber.
"He conspired with the same parties
for the spoliation, arrest, mock trial,
imprisonment, and oppression of Davis
Hatch, an American citizen, and 9th
ers, in foreign country, for commu-
n;cating with the American press.
"He instituted war with a foreign
nation, with which this country was
at perfect amity, which disables the
President for making war, but Of sub
sisting treaty stipulations with that
power.
"He negotiated with body of
Dominican usurpcrs, led by Baez, and
carried into effect by a compact be-
tween the two nations, notwithstand-
ing tn: United States, through the re-
lection of the proposed treaty by the
Senate, had rendered it criminal for
him to do any act under it.
Gle Incorporated 81 100000 in
gold, by paying it over to his proaigate
Dominican accomplices in pursuance
Of treaty not yet binding or in any
sense valid, and which was afterwards
made null and void.
ale violated the statute regulating
the pay and duties of the Privat'
Secretary of the President, which of
fence is aggravated by the establish
ment Of military ring at the Exccu
tive Mansion.
@Jse violated, as a boon to his owr
son, the statute regulating the priv
lcge of leaves of absence Of officers c
the army.
"IIo accepted lands, goods, an
money in consideration Of appoint
mcnts to Office, ard aggravated til
abuse by habitually accepting all maj

Cancellation the Adm .nlstration's
WatchWord.

1t is given out that the Liberal
Republicans will be gently dealt with
in the ensuing session of Congress,
provided they have no factions
opposition to offer to the present ad-
ministration. This, of course, relates
entirely 20 the House. Speaker
Blaine has written a letter TO the
effect that Cancellation is the watch
word of the second term. and that
the Republican party had nothing
to gain by prosecuting recalcitrants.
This is understood here to mean that
be designations of Bar ks, Blair, and
Farnsworth will not be forced, so far
as the Speaker is concerned. The
Senate, being so strongly partisan,
will reorganizc its committees entire
ly on it's narrow basis. As has been
heretofore stated, such Liberals as
Senators Schurz, Trumbul, Fenton,
Rice, West. and Upton will have
their designations for future labors
entirely at the disposition of the
Republican caucus.

regarded as confirmed by the fact

The Postal Telegraph.

From present indication there will
be a holly contested fight in Congress
during the coming session. between
the advocates of the several postal
telegraph schemes. The Postmaster
General will bend every effort to
secure the adoption of his PROPOSE
ton, that the Government own the
lines, and that they be under the
charge of the Post Office Depart
ment, to be operated by Govern
ment officials
The Postmaster General recon-
mends in his report the purchase by
the Government of all existing lines
of telegraph, provided they can be
obtained for reasonable sum. If
the companies insist upon exorbi-
tant prices, be then recommends that
she Government be authorized t.
build independent lines. He esti.
mates that at the rates he considers
tair and just the lines, poles, instru
nents and other property of exist
ing companies are worth about sl2,-
600 900. In this, however, be does
not include the value of prospective
business, etc. His system contem-
plates complete ownership on the
part of the Government, and making
all connected with the postal tee-
graph, officials and appointees of the

HOW TO GO WEST.

This IS an inquiry which every one should
have truhlulIy answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exami-
nation Of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time AMI money.
The Burlington Route" has achieved a
splendid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route to the west
Starting at Burlington IT runs direct through
Southern Iowa 10 Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections TO California and the Terri
tories; and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward cannot do better
than to take the c. B. & Q. and Burlington
Route.
This line has published pamphlet called
How 70 go West" which contains much val.
liable information; a large correct map Of the
Great West, which can be obtained free Of
charge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent B. & NJ. r. R., Burlington, Iowa.

Powder Factory Blown up-Four
Men Killed.

At four o'clock last Thursday af-
ternoon, at Milwaukee, the Horsley
Powder Mandatory, standing at the
shore Of the lake north of the city
limits, exploded from some unknown
cause and instantly killed every man
upon the premises. They were the
foreman and two workmen, and the
father of one of them who had called
in to see his son. How the accident
occurred is a mystery sealed up in
death. A man near the building
was blown some distance but not
much hurt.
One body was blown into the lake
and floating ashore was frozen into
the ice in horribly mutilated condi-
ton. All the bodies were so torn as
to hardly resemble the human form.
The explosion was distinctly heard
and felt all over Milwaukee and vi
cinity.
The HorsIey Blasting Powder is a
new explosive compound, whose
manufacture has not long been car
ried on. The foreman, Mr.. Cum
mings, got parties to invest in the
business, and felt the greatest conf.
dence in the entire safety of his mill
from explosion. He claimed that no
ordinary means would ignite IL and
that only the fuse and percussion cap
would cause it to explode hence
men were often admitted with light
ed pipes, without causing alarm
We do not learn whether the Horsley
Powder is Identical with the Giant
Powder in use in this county, or not
