A DEMOCRATIC WAR.

New York, June 22.-Hon. Henry Wat
terson, editor of the Louisville Courier.
Journal publishes in the San of this morn.
ing an open letter to Hon. Abram s. Hewitt,
in which he says: You know, and know,
that Mr.. Tilden disapproved Of the electo:
raj bill. You know, and know, that you
spent Sunday the 18th of January, in New
York, and that he made his objections sig
nifcantly known to you. On Monday eve
ming, the 18th of January meeting of the
commissioners of advise.nent considered the
terms Of the bill hypothccally submitted to
it; that at that meeting opposed them;
that you was a. dumb a+ an oyster a. to Mr..
Tllden's opinion, and that finally we all
agreed to support the measure, most of us
believing it an emmar alton of our chief l
have charged, and do charge, that your
failure to deal fairly with us on that occa-
sion, your failure to tell us what Mr.. Tilden
had said to you the day before, was prac-
tical suppression of his more sag .cious coun.
ellis and to all intcnts betrayal of your
friend. Now, l repeat and declare my
charge of personal dishonor upon you, and
as you don't wish to fight it out and I am
sure don't, will make you this PROPOSE
ton: You select two members of the COM
mittee Of advisement Of which both of us
were members, and will select the fifth,
and if do not make my charge good l will
make you public apology.

Section II directs the joint committee to

Section Is directs promotion to cease in
each grade, in staff or line, froNl the passage

Section IA provides for another joint

The election recently held in Calitornis
to select delegates to constitutional con-
vention resu It'd in th. defeat of both repub.
licans and democrats. The working mans
ticket, called the non-partisan, carried the
state. The question of Chinese emigration
was tho ruling issue in the campaign and
ss the Chinese are held in great detes:ation
among the working classes, owing to
their disposition to ''knock the bottom out
of prices, there was great enthusiasm in the
nom partisan movement, and victory for it
at the polls. Some apprehension exists
that the victory of this element in Califor-
mia will tend to greater divisions between
capit.l and lator in the states east Of the
Rockies, and that a strong movement will
set in dangerous TO the supremacy of both
the dominant parties. M doubt the work
ing mems organizations wherever dispersed
will exult at the triumph in California, but
the causrs which gave strength to the me-
chsnics and laboring men of the golden
state do not exist elsewhere, and cannot
have the same influence.

THE TRUE STORY.
From the Pittsburgh Telegraph

From the l'lttSburgh Telegraph
This is the true rendition Of the story:
Mack y. B. McCullagh) WAS witness in
behalf OF President johnson at the impeach.
ment trial and Butler hated him fercely.
He announced the fact one night that when
Mack came ON the stand next day he would
skin him alive. OF course this important
piece of news reached Mack almost immedi-
ately, and he rem ,rked in that queer Irish
xav Of his, that Butler would find out next
day how hard it WAS to skin regular son OF
the ould sod. He Immediately procured a
red bandana handkerchief and a silver
spoon with hole drilled through the han
die, through which he drew the corner OF
his handkerchief and knotted it. As soon
as Butler began the cross examination Mack
drew forth the handkerchief and began
blowing his nose and dangling the spoon.
The high court of Impeachment and the
galleries burst into a roar of laughter,
and Mack poeketed the spoon. Another
question by Butler, and out came the spoon
dangling on the handkerchief, once more
upset,ing the dignity of the court. In a
towering rage Butler ordered the witness
from the stand and stopped the cross-exam.

Northern Nebraska Journal
That Sioux City does not stand very high
in the estimation of the citizens of Dixon
county, is pretty plainly shown by the ex-
pressions at the mass meeting held here on
Saturday.
The curses which Sioux City receives from
our citizens are attributable to the infamous
swindle which has been practiced on north

men of that place, by means of the C, C. &
B. n. r. R. And not only this county, but
all the counties of Northern Nebraska, will
naturally look with dislike and suspicion on
thoses who lend themselves to nefarious
attempt to plunder.
Whether this county, for its three miles
of pocket railroad, (the cost of which was
about $4,000, will have to pay the $S7, 900
in bonds, is question which the future only
can determine, but our citizens can rest
assured that Sioux City's prominent bus.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS IN WASH
1NGroN.-Instead of canvassing the
departments for funds to aid in the ap.
preaching elections, the Secretary of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee caused a circular to be distri'
buted among the clerks and others
informing them that, as the rules
render difficult their absence during
office hours, an arrangement has been
made with the Treasurer to be at a
specified bank from 4 to 5 P. NJ. to re-
ceive contributions from those in the
departments who have not already
responded. A number Of clerks here
tofore called on have declined to con-
tribute on the ground that they are
not politicians.

arraiyncd upon this charge,
| And plead not guilty, aud of this he
threw himself upon the country at
large;
And said Joseph being poor, the Court
did gracjonsly appoint
Mr.. Smith to defend him-much on the
same principle that obtains in
every charity hospital where a
Young medical student is often sci
to rectify serious injury to an Or
yan or a joint.
The witness seemed prciudiccd against
ponr Mr.. Scroggs;
And til" District Attorney made thrill
ling speech. in which he told the
jury that if they didn't find for th'
State he rrckonel he'd have tt
walk their logs
Then Mr.. Smith arose and made hi:
speech for the defense.
Wherein I've quoted SHAKESPEARE, Black
stone, Gritty, Archbo'd, joaquin
Miller. Story, Kent, Tupper, Smedr'
and Marshall, and ruany other
writer's. and everybody said they
"neyer hteul .ich bust If eloqurDce.'
And he said !: "0n this hypothesis, M!
client must go free -
And: "Ayain, OH this hypothesis, IT.
morally impossible that he conlt
be guilty, don't you ?"
And: "Then, on this hypothesis, you
really cant convict
And SC on, with forty-six more hypothe
svs upon none of which Mr.. Smith
ably demonstrated, could Scroggg
be derelict.
But the jury. never stirring from the be-:
wherein they sat-
Returned n verdict of "guilty,' and Hi!
Honor stralghtway sentenced Jo
Scroggs to the Penitentiary, and
heavy fine, and the costs on to
of that.
And the prisoner, in wild delight, got II
and danced and sung;
And when they asked him the reason
this strange behavior, he said
"f's because got off SO easy-tt
if there'd ha' been few more {
tenn darntd hypothesises, ! shout
cert ainly have been hung"
