To a village in Massachusetts, the
great ironmaster presented a pipe or

THE JOHNSON IMPEACHMENT
Subscriber, Melburne, Mendocino
County, Cal. Andrew Johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States. had come
into sharp conflict with Congress,
about the questions conected with the
reconstruction. and the breach between
the executive and the national legis-
lature widened until it grew into an
impeachment-the only impeachment
of a President in our history, and one
of the most noted in the worlds his
tory. On March 2, 1867, Congress
passed what is known as the tenure of
office act 1t was vetoed bv the Presi-
dent and passed over his veto. Edwin
NJ Stanton, Secretary of War, was not
willing to lend himself to Johnson's
scheme Of reconstruction. Therefore
on August L. 1867. the President sus-
pended him and appointed General
Grant ad interim. When the Senate
met the President laid his reasons for
the suspension before it. but that body
in January refused its sanction and
Stanton therefore resumed his office
On February 21, 1868, Johnson again re-
moved Stanton and appointed in his
place General Lorenzo Thomas STAN

EXCURSION SEASON
IN FAlRMoNT HAS BEEN AN UNI.
suAL oNE-HuNDREDs HAVE
COME AND GONE.

Fairmont has had very profitable
excursion season the past summer
the railroads, boats, and other means
of transportation bringing in and TAX
ing away lots of people. In fact the
city was more of a mecca for excur.
sions this year than ever before. OF
course Sunday ball was one drawing
card but then many who came on these
Sunday excursions did not visit Trac.
ton Park but instead viewed the
city; consequently the livery barns
have had good season. One form
of outing that Fairmont people are
patronizing frequently is an automo.
bile trip to the surrounding towns.
There is but one machine in the city
for hire and that belongs to the Jack.
son Hotel. As this lis the prettiest
time Of the year for trips into the
country, the machine is kept busy.

SHE MOVED,

ton, Thinks Our Scribe.

A long, low, ratish craft steamed up
Monroe street this morning, and
dropped anchor in the canal back OF
the Fountain saloon. Judging from
the odor, she had cargo OF skunk
oils. The skipper was man OF large
proportions, while the crew consisted
of asboy probably ten years of age.
The article bowed wonderfully in the
middle. and while 1t did not show
any promise of speed, seemed to be
very comfortable. 1t was just a plain,
evidently homemade, automobile, but
she moved, and that is the main OBJ
ject in bubbles.

PAPERS DRAWN UP
In Aldermen Election Contest in the
 First Ward

The papers in the election contest in the first ward, instituted by the demo- crats, were drawn up last evening bv Mayor-elect Thoms. The republican al- dermen who have been declared elect ed are made the respondents and they have been asked to show cause why the ballot box containing the cisy votes cast Ill that ward should not be opened and a recount had. Mr Tboms was to nave gone to Middletown to-day to get the order from Judge Robinson of the superior court to open the box and have recount, but legal business interfereI and Attorney Minor went instead. Therefore the papers will be served upon the respondents tomorrow or perhaps this evening.
 It is now said that the denfocrats have obtained evidence to show that there was a big mistake in the count for aldermen and that without oues- ton John F. Gallagher. one of the democratic candidates for aldermen. was elected. Mir Gallagher was count cd out by only seventeen votes. while Joseph s. Neill, another of the demo. cratic candidates for aldermen. was elected by a surprising majority.
