HWAsHINGToN, Nov. 20.-The presi-
dent said, this morning, concerning the
arrival of troops from South Carolina, via:
Fortress Monroe, that it was merely an
ordinary change of station. General
Sherman denies that the arrival of the
four companies of artillery and three of
artillery from Forts Leavenworth and
Riley which arrived to-day and are in
General Hancock's command indicate
anything politically. There's no ground
for excitement over it.
The president is preparing his annual
message to-day.

Robbery--A Female Suspected.

On Saturday night Thos Walton, who
keeps a store in Coaltown. was relieved OF
a memorandum book containing Sl00 in
currency, under circumstances that placed
Miss Jennie Kennedy under suspicion as
the thief. 1t appears that she came to Lis
store on Saturday night and bought some
polasses and other things. Having occa
sion to make change MIR. Waltone left the
store for another room, leaving the book
and money on a shelf, Miss Kennedy, in
the meantime, remaining in the store.
When he returned she had gone and the
money was missing 1t was too late to get
to Moline and swear cut warrant but on
Sunday Mr.. Walton went before. Justice

Kennedy charging her with the THEFT, and
had search warrant issued The

Kennedy S aud ransacked be house pretty

that Mrs. Kennedy, motheF-of Jennie

II is difficult to determine whether the
luminous proposition of Mexican states.
manship, kketched by the Hon. Clarkson
N. Potter, excels most in stupidity or
treachery. The constitution requires the
presence OF the Senate and House of Rep
resentatiyes at the time of the opening and
counting of the electoral vote Before
Congressman enters on his duty as Rep
reseurative or Senator, he takes an oath
that he will support the constitution of
the United States. When q Senator or
Representative proposes deliberately to alb
sent himself from the counting Of the vote,
IN order to prerent the counting, he distinctly
proposes to rioiate his oath of office. When
Senator or Representatives determines, be-
fore the actual count according to the pho
visions of the constitution, that there has
been no election, he just as deliberately
proposes to violate his oath of office. A
violation Of his oath of office is one of the
oftenses for which Senator or Representa-
tive can be punished else,chere
The constitution (article one, section six,
paragraph one), only shields them for any
speech or debate in either House."
1t will not protect one for willfully and |
rebelliOutly disregarding a constitutional |
requirement to shed his presence on the |
official counting. Potter's proposition of |
Mexican craftsmanship is stupid, for the |
reason that the Senate can elect the Vice |
President immediately after the determiaa- |
tion OF the question that no man is elected, |
and it will undoubtedly recognize the man |
having majority as Vice President. With
the great majority that there is of Potter
Mexicahs in the House, they can not elect
a President before the fourth of March, as
the Republicans control fourteen States,
and determine whether those States will
vote in q revolutionary manner or not.
The proposition is treacherous for the
reason that after Governor Tilden, through
the popularity of Governor Hendricks. pro.
cures the electoral vote of Indiana for him
self, it is deliberate y proposed to abandon
Governor Hendricks and the Democrats of
Indiana to the tender mercies of a Repup-
lican Senate. 1t is not best to have any
