been impaneied in case, was, with the
rest of the jury, cautioned by the judge as
they were about to adjourn for dinner, not

Pat gave him wild glance and passed on.
Mike followed him, and seizng him by

Pat freed himself from Mikes vice like

Mikes eyes, hurried home to his frugal

Whereas, The Hon. Senator has labored
long and earnestly with his astonishing
misrepresentation and feeble arg guments
extracts from Summers speech and his own
dissatisfaction, and
Whereas, After patiently hearing the
eloquence of the Hon. Senator, we, the K e.
publicans of Fillmore county, Nebraska
are convinced beyond doubt of the follow
ing facts:
That the Hon. T. W. Tipton is dssatis
fed with the present Administration, and op
poses the reelection Of u. S. Grant for the
reasons stated, as follows:
That the President has not appreciated the
wisdom aud craftsmanship of The Hon. T
W. Upton.
That the President has not used his ap.
pointing power with view to the interests
of T. w. Upton.
That Senator Upton cannot control a
political influence with U. s. Grant and
the Administration in power.
That Tobias Wellit gtou Upton is con-
demncd by the Republican party of Ne

which he now holds, and that unless Hor-
ace Greeley shall be elected Presiden., the
Right Reverend Tobias Wellington will
be, forever, politically dead. Therefore,

POLITICAL SOMERsAULT-Ith has been
customary with US of New England, who
have written and spoken of Charles Sum-
ner, to ever accord to him the need of sin
cerity and, though even his warmest po-
litical friends have realized him to be
chargeable with the weakness ofa one-idea
extremist, yet all have been ready to con.
cedc him honesty. But how about the
matter now, when we find Mr.. Sumner
sacrificing even that one-idea to the bitter
spirit of personal hate Years ago he i'm.
molated himself upon the alter of his per-
sonal vanity, and now he completes the
sacrifice by an exhibition of sycophancy to
his life long enemies, in order to spite the
President, who has, to be sure, persisted in
ignoring him frs, last and always We
begin to think that Mr. Grant saw through
the Massachusetts, Senator more clearly
than we who knew him at home. It is we'll
understood in Washington that on Mr..
Grants accession to office, Mr.. Sumner at
once assumed that he was to control party
affairs at the capital, but he soon found that
he had to do with one who was not accus.
toned to give up the control where he was
entrusted with command From that hour
Sumner has behaved like disappointed
school-boy, and has taken every means in
his power to show his petty spite and to
revenge himself on the President, by op-
posing every Administration measure that
has been presented.- Boston Globe.
