Fhs rre.lde.s spsaks ON the Presi-
denftaI Question

Chicago, March 26.-The Tfibtas's
Washington correspondent interviewed
the president, who refused 10 talk ON
the presidential prospects OF Sherman
or Grant. but asked If Blaine's chances
were not improving. The following
ensued:
"But, Mr.. President, you are not
insensible Of the fact that an emergency
may arise in the Chisago convention
that may make your own denomination
desirable /; not only desirable, but a
great party necessity. What IL it
should come to that complexion at
last?"
The President: "That Is a contin-
geney that is not at all likely TO arise,
and do not anticipate any such result.
My position in regard to accepting n
second nomination under any circum-
stances, rs well understood, and will be
adhered to-"
Correspondent: "There is TO he a
council OF war held in Chicago ON the
second Of next June. II you are or
dered TO go to the front with the repub-
lican banner In your hands. you are too
good soldier to refuse to obey orders,
In the face OF the enemy"
The President: ''If the Chicago con-
vention cannot agree upon either one
Of the prominent candidates now before

looking tais way. For example, there |
Is washburne, Of Illinois, who would +,
readily unite all the elements Of the |
party, as would Hamilton Fish, OF New |
York, or Senator Edmunds. Of Yer
mont. Either OF these gentlemen
would certainly be elected.r

Relieving Refugees.

Paris, March ga socialist paper
publishes note from Geneva denying
the existence there Of any nihilist COM
mittee. The note says there is simply
a relief society for the Russian political
refugees, and what is now going ON in
Russia requires too great knowledge
OF local conditions, and too great a
promptitude to be superintended at a
spot four days distant from the scene
Of action.

EaeII.h Politics.

London, March 26.-Lord Harting-
ton, speaking last night, pointed out
in what respects the policy OF the oppo-
sition, II returned to power, would
differ from the policy Of the present
government. He said they would not
stake the interests on the honor OF
England, OF the maintenance OF the
Independence and integrity Of the un-
reformed Turkish government; they
would not treat the relations OF the
Turkish government with its Christian
subjects AS n matter of interest only
TO Russia and Turkey; they would not
try 10 disturb the concert OF Europe IL
1t was united as TO what should he done;
they would do all in their power to
promote that concert.
The Times, commenting, says: "Crit-
Icisms are designed not merely TO dis
credit the ministry but to indicate
what would have been Hartington's
policy In the past, and its tendency in
the future. 1t would be the policy of
coercing Turkey at cost; II necessary.

icy seems to deprive the opposition
speakers Of all rights to denounce the
government for undertaking distant

The attention of the Russian Gov
ernment is considerably occupied
with the Theological seminaries of
that country, which seem to be hot
beds of Nihilism. The clergy forms

theological students, who are clergy
mans sons, are kept in strict con-
finement within the seminary walls.

Without this restraint it would be
impossible, it is said, to recruit the
ranks of the clergy. When they
leave college their hearts are full of
hatred for government that has
treated them so harshly; they read
ily listen to revolutionary sentiments
from whatever quarter they may
come, and upon returning to their
native villages become apostles of
Nihilism. esas

LEMHI INDIAN AGENCY, J
IDAHO TERRITORY. 7
April 25th, 1880.

EDITOR JOURNAL 81 concluded my last
by reference to some of the incidents
connected with the first settlement of
Julesburg. The town is 377 miles from
Omaha, and is 1894 feet above sea
level. Prior to 1868 it was an import
ant Military Station, and during the
winters of 80 and '6G, the government
paid for the wood consumed at this
point, $l05 per cord for soft wood, pine
and cottonwood, and $2l0 for hard or
scrub oak. John Hughes, of Denver,
Col, was the contractor, and it is said
he "made it fairly snow all winter"
The next station of any importance
is Sidney, named after Sidney Dillon,
President of the road. 1t is the county
seat of Cheyenne county, Nebraska,
population about 800 This Is kind
OF headquarters for stock men, who
own almost counties thousands" of
cattle and sheep. One lady, Mrs.
Iliff, whose husband when living, was
known as the "Western Cattle King"
owns ranch Immediately south of the
town, that is $50 miles in length with an
average width of % miles, on which is
grazed $4,000 head of cattle. 1t is no
longer mystery TO me why good cattle
in the States bring but from two to
three cents per pound. A single trip
across those "never ending plains" "
where cattle are never fed, winter nor
summer, will solve the problem for any
one.
The next important point at which
we stop is Cheyenne, the capital of
Wyoming, the largest town between
Omaha and Ogden.
Some 10 or ID miles before reaching
this place, caught my first view of the
Rocky Mountains, then Immediately in

Maj. Chas. Townsend, of Athens,
who was nominated for Secretary of
State by the Republican State Con-
vention, is IN the prime Of life. He
was born in Athens County, and
graduated at the Ohio University.
At the breaking out of the war he
was Principal of the Seminary in
Chester, Meigs County. AF-L---.t
Nearly all his male students vOlun-
teered soon after the first call, and
he closed his school and began re-
cruitlng. In a few days he had
raised 120 men and transportation
was furnished them TO Columbus.
He was mustered in with the rest as
q private in the 30th Regiment, O.
VI, but soon after was elected
edptaiu. He was sent with his regi-
ment to join Rosecrans in his West
Virginia campaign, and began his
brilliant career as 4 soldier. He was
under Pope at the second battle of
Bulls Run, then with Reno at South
Mountain, with Mcclellan at Ante
itam, where he was slightly wounded.
He was next transferred to Grants
command ct Vicksburg, and soon
after Pemberton's surrender was ex-
amined, with two hundred other
officers, to take command of colored
roops. He was soon promoted to
Major in his own regiment, and was
severely wounded at Nickajack, Ga,
by the explosion of shell, and was
reported killed. BY this wound his
health was seriously impaired, and
at the close of his three years term
of service WAS discharged.
Upon returning to his home in
Athens he began the practice of law,
and was three times elected to the
office Of Prosecuting Attorney by .
vote much above that cast for any 9TH
er candidate. He has twice been sent
by his county to the General Assem-
bly,, the last time by majority of
!, ,2O7, or 1870 more than was polled
by any other candidate ON either
State or county ticket.
Major Townsend is very popular
with his colleagues on the floor of
the House, and they will strongly
support him. There is no doubt
but he will make very strong run.
