The Omaha Jlrpullican discloses an
bther littl strategctic move on the part
bf the managers of the impeachment
aqainst Gov. Butler, which is nothing
loss than a plan to prevent a trial and
Un'n throw the Llanie of Butler's acquit
tal (for a failure to prosecute would clear
Lim and reinstate him in office) upon the
Senate, and proclaim that I.utler was a
jrrcr.t criminal Lut that the Senate would
not allow them to convict him. The
Ili jnJAiam understand- "that the prose
i.ulion will ask art adjournment" on the
pound that important witnesses have
nV"-ented themslvc?. The managers know
sis well as arytet of men in the State,
that this adjournment cannot be granted
injustice to Gov. lutler, for while it
would reinstate him as Govcrnor, it
would do o with the cloud still hanainp:
over lam (the very tli'irnr, probably, that
the inan:iiresa desire). We hope the
cuurt of impeachment will not allow so
great an injutic-e to be done Gov. Butler
ns to adjourn Lcfore he I. as had full op
portunity to vindicate hiiwself. We have
had enough of the "star chamber," one
iJiiJ business.

This is the way Dr- Miller knew
'that an effort was to te made t.i tret lid
of McHird ! He knew it "a h. kn. w
ha tiutli about Butkr." That i about
3 we supplied he know it anl the
"Haiti-mouth con temporal" it porfeet
ly satisfiol th it Dr. Miller know nothing
of the kiul just asa.i "kniw" whit hi
has been charging against Gov. Butier
for the past year, and failed to substan
tiate under oath before the investigation
committee. Dr. Miller flies froui one
untenable position to another, in rapid
Mieee.-ri:n. He first asseits that lie
'knew" of an effort that was being made
to get rid of McBird," and when we
corner him on that statement, and show
beyond a doubt that if this statement is
correct, Dr. Mille? is thn guilty one be
eausehe said nothing nor did nothing to
prevent such flight, then Hies to the re
fuge of 'confidence.' We alwajs believed
the Omih:i ILrald was a little o:i the
"confidence" order, but we supposed
it could "play it" a tr'.fle better than
this. Is that tb.3 way you treat your
"confidential" friends of the Republican
persuasion? If you receive any such ia
formation in ''confidence," why are you
now betraying that conSlenze by pro
claiming to th.2 world that you "knDW it,"
nut you cau t ten it liecausc ou raeelVeJ
it in "confidence." If you "knew it"
no better than you knew what you have
been charging against Gov. Butler for
the past year, you could not have be
trayed an very great amount of "confi
dence" by telling it all over the world.
We nny bo excused for raying, in strict
"confidence," you know, Dr. that we do
not Lelieve a word of the Mc Bird story.
We bc'bve, knowing the authors of the
report as well as wj do, that the report
that McBird has left, is all ma do ap a? a
part of the programme to man ifaeture
public opinion against Gov. Butler, by
which it is hoped to convict him, even
without evidence. Try it again, Dr.,
and see if you cannot strike some more
effective 4 cotifideii.-a" pame.

A few men in the State, headed by
Dr. Miller, are attempting to make capi
tal against Gov. Butler on the ground
that a man named McBird cannot be
found. Now, if Dr. Miller would not be
betraying the "confidence" of pome
''prominent Republican" (elected by
Democrats) we would like a little light
given to the people in regard to this
McBird evidence (for the Dr. eets him
self up as the great luminary on this sub
ject) where, and by whom was the so
called "evidence" of McBird taken.
Who had been with him for a whole day
prior to taking of the so-called evidence,
and tcho heard him sworn to the state
ment's reported as his 4 evidence" be
fore the coamiittce. We have it from
very good authority (not in "confidence" )
that McBird never testified before the in
vestigating committee in fact, that he
was never before that committee at all,
but that the so-called "evidence" was
written up by an outsider who handed it
in to the committee as the evidence of
ilcBirJ. McBird, it is raid, never v. as
sworn to a single statement, and it is be
lieved by many good men that he never
knew of the existence of anything pur
porting ts be "evidence" from him.
Will the great impeachment luminary
please enlighten the "rural districts" on
these matter?, and then repeat that little
statement that you "knew" McBird was
to leave? Would it be betraying more
"confidence" to tell the people how you
come by the so called McBird "evi
dence?" We doubt not this whole
thing is a little on the "confidence" or
der, and that Dr. Miller really "knew,"
and stiil knows, more about the McBird
"evidence" and his present whereabouts
than he would care to make public.

Wc have heretofore asserted that
much of the cry against Gov. Butler
arose from personal antipathy, and that
it should be taken with a large degree of
allowance. As facts are brought out our
position on this question is continually
strengthened. Dr. Miller has been one
of the fiercest of Gov. Butler's accusers,
and one who proclaimed that all that
was necessary to convict him was to in
augurate proceedings that he could tes
tify to enough in fifteen minutes to con
vict him. The howl reached thatheigth
that many good men came to believe
that all our State officers were a pack of
thieves. The charges were made so
boldly and defia ltly, that it seemed that
there must be something in them. The
chief of the howlers, Dr. Miller, was
brought before the investigating com
mittee and sworn as to what he knew,
and the following item from the pen of
Hon. J. S. Church, editor of the Browu
ville Advertiser discloses the very sig
nTII(a"ui'"faet,iTl:tt"wIth"aI Tr. Miller s
knowledge he does not know of a fingle
item that is damaging to Gov. Butler :
"I am assured bv Senator Thomas
that Miller, of the Herald, knew noth
ing, nor testified to the truth of one ma
terial fact. I am furthermore credibly
informed that Miller said to one of the
committee that he could not swear to the
truth of a single charge he had made
again.t the Governor, nor did he know
of any one who could, but that be had
taken his stand, upon these charges and
ho mast maintain it for the sake of his
own reputation, whether he could prove
them or not."
Why did not Dr. Miller go before the
committee with his "confidence" game,
and tell them that all he knew about
Butler wa.s received in "strict confi
dence" and that he did not feel at liberty
to sav anything about it except through
his paper.
It 13 claimed by the impeachment
managers that McBird's evidence is im
portant against Butler, and it is also as
serted by a fjw reckless newspapers (pro
bably not more than oue) that But
ler's fiiends bribed McBird to leave.
Was ever a more ridiculous poistion
assumed by any man ? Admitting the
last proposition to be true, and how
much weight would McBird's evidence,
be given in a court of justice, even if he
did te;.tify. If he c uld bo bribed to
leave the country, he could, in all prob
ability be bribed to swear to almost
anything. If there is any bribing in the
McBird ca-e, we suggest that Gov. But
ler's enemies are the ones who know
most about it. Dr. Miller "knew" he
was going, and he probably "knew" how
and by whom his "evidence" was taken.

State, as he was bound to do by law ;
nor did he call the attention of the Leg

D. 1S6S, being then and there, as such

the said State, then and there falsely,
fraudulently, and corruptly, in violation
of his aid duties as Auditor, and in ut
ter disregard for the trust and confidence
reposed in him by the poodle; in order
to give one bidder for said Public I'rint
ir;g an advantage over another who bad
bid for th-3 same, did then and there, as
Auditor, privately open one of said bi-'.s
for a corrupt purpose
Specification lt. The said 7th day
of December was the day fixed upon by
ptibli-J nol'OJ to open bids for the i 'rim
ing of th said State of Nebraska, for
the years 1 SOU and 1ST0; among others
who" had bids were Miller & Bichardson;
their bid had been prepared in accord
ance with the notice for Sealed Bids for
said IVmtiiig, being in writing, carefully
an I securely, and on tho day herein men
tioned, was in the possession of th : said
John Gillespie, Auditor, as afore
said; whose sacred duly it was to pro
tect the same from the knowledge of ri
val bidders, as al-o his own duty to re
main ignorant of the contents of this and
all other bids until the same were pub
licly opened for the purpose of awarding
the contract ; but the said John Gilles
pie. Auditor, in order to give one St. A.
D. Bacnibc, who was also a bidder at
that time tor a portion of the said l'ub
lic Printing, an undue advantage over
the said Miller & Biehardson, and in
fraud of their rights, did privately open

son ; whereupon the said St. A. D. Bal
combe became possessed of the knowl
edge of said bid, and the prices which
the said Miller it itichardson proposed to
do said Public Printing lor ; ar.d thereby
the said St. A. D- Balcombe so regula
ted and airangcd the pi ices in his own
bid ; by means of which he secured a
good portion of the said Public Printing,
whereupon a contract was awarded to the
said St. A. D. Balcombe, and the bids
of Miller & llichardson were rejected,
when in truth th'y should have been ac
cepted, had not the fraud herein charged
been practiced by the said John Gil
lespie, Auditor, whereby he became
and was guilty of a mi-sdetucanor iu of
fice. Art. C. That under and by virtue
cf an act of the Legislative Assembly of
the State of Nebraska, entitled, An Act
to provide for the sa'e cf the un.-old lots
and b'or-ks in the town site of Lincoln,
and for the location and erection of a
Stato University and Agricultural Col
lege, and State Lunatic Asylum. Ap
proved, February 15th, A. D. lSo'J;
said John Gillespie, Auditor aforesaid,
was ona of the commissioners au
thorized to locate a State Lunatic
Asylum, at or near Lincoln. In
the summer of 1800, the said John Gil
lespie, Auditor, was influenced by petu
y motives against the interest of the
State to agree to an unsuitable location
of said Lunatic Asylum.
Specification 1st. That for a nomi
nal consideration the said John Giilespie,
Auditor, became interested in, and one
of the purchasers cf a part of section 10,
in town 0, north of rang f cast, in Lan
caster county, Nebraska. The remainder
of the true price and value cf such tract
of land so purchased by the sail John
Gillespie, was made up and pai 1 for by
citizens who owned land in the same
locality, for the purpose of inducing the
said John Giilespie, Auditor, to vote as
one of the Board cf Commissioners, to
locate the said Lunatic Asylum in the
iunncuiute vicinity of the larid so pur
chased. The dillerencj between tho
nominal price so paid by John Gillespie
and the true value of the land as pai l
b' others interested by reason of owning
other lands iu the same locality, beea-me
and was the amount received by John
Giilespie, Auditor, a; a consideration or
corrupt inducement for him to agree to
locate the said Lunatic Asylum where it
now is, in the imu.cdiate vicinity of said
1 and ; whereby the said John Giilespie,
Auditor, then and there committed, and
was guilty of a misdemeanor in office
Art- 7. That said John Gillespie,
Auditor, early ia the spring of 1S70, at
Lincoln, in the State of Nebraska, did,
with David Butler and Thomas P. Ken
nard, Commissioners enter into a certain
contact with one J. W. Pcarman to fur
nish trees and shrubbery to be planted in
the capital round at Lincoln ; thereby
improperly involving the State in a lia
bility to pay the contract price for said
trees, and said John Gillespie Auditor,
falsely and fraduently charged the sum
of $1,082.10, as having been paid on
said contract.
Spf.cificaton 1st. Early in the sess
ion of the present legislative assembly,
the said John Gillespie, Auditor, by
virtue of his said office, being one of the
Commissoners of Public Buildings, un
der an act approved February 15th, 1SC9,
as such commissioner, by virtue of his
said oftlce of Auditor, in Li3 account ren
dered to the Senate and House cf Be-.
Eresentatives of the receipts and dis
urscment of the public money belonging
to the State of Nebraska, and in the
THUIiSDAY, MARCH
language of said report being "a correct
and lull statement of all warrants drawn
upon said fund," (meaning the Building
Fund which had come into the hands of
sail Commissioners. ) Said John Gilles
pie, Auditor, in said report, states that
the sum of $1,082.10 .had been drawn
out of the State Treasury upon a war
rant issued therefor for trees for the
"Capita! Grounds," when, in fact and in
truth, no such warrant was ever issued,
nor any such money ever paid by the
State Treasurer for said trees. The said
trees for which said warrant i3 charged
as having been issed as payment, were
furnished by said 1 'carman for the indi
vidual benefit of John Gillespie, David
Butler, Thomas P. Kennard. The state
ment in sail report had a tendency to
deceive and mislead the Legislature and
the people of the State, by making it
appear that the warrant had been issued
for public purposes, and also by making
it appear that the sum of $1,082.10
arising from the sale of lots and lands,
had been deposited with the State
Treasurer, but as said warrant, so falseiy
charged by the said John Gillespie,
Auditor, was not issued or drawn upon
the fund roceivod by them out of said
sales; a fraud was practical, as by the
report it became a dehit against the
money received upon said sales; where
by the said John Gillespie, Auditor,
then and there committed, and was guilty
of a misdemeanor in office.
And the House of Kcpresentativesby
protestation, saving to themselves the
liberty of exhibiting at any time here
tfter, any further articles or othr aecu
Isatious or', impeachment against the said
John Gillespie, Auditor of the State' of
Nebraska, and also replying to his
answers which lie shall make, unto the
artie'es heroin preferred pgaiu-t him, and
of offering proof to the tame, and every
part thereof, and to all and every other
article, accusation or impeachment
which shall be exhibited by them as the
cise shall require ; do demand that tho
said John Gi'lespie, may be put to
answer the misdemeanors in cilice, here
in charged araint him, and that such
l.roeeeding, examinations, trials and
judgements may be thereupon hud and
given, as may be agreeable to law and
justice.

Mr. Editor: Would it not be as
well if the parties who are loudest iu
their denunciations of our State cluccrs
would be a iittb; more charitable, and not
pass sentence of condemnation' before
they are assure! of guilt. It seems to
me, after calm and ciciberatc considera
tion, that eii.'atid pnjudiu; and not the
best interests o'' the people of Nebraska,
is a part, at least, of the power that is
seeking the destruction of the character
anl reputation of our Executive and
Auditor. My reason for believing this
is founded on the fact that parties who
have been unsuccessful in political schem
ing are determined opponents and accu
sers ; and I have sometimes thought
that it was because they were not invited
to take a prominent part in' the man
agement of the affairs of State, or that
a part of the squandered school funds
did not pass their way, or that they did
not invest in Lincoln lots, or that the
Executive" depaitmcnt stood in their
way when they were trying to reach the
same "pay dirt" that Gov. Butler is
charged with panning out, or that Gov.
Butler did not do (as he agreed to
with them, or did something ihey did
not wish done. And in consequence of
his failure to comply with their desires,
he ought to bo impeached, and when
m peached they would like to make it
appear that he is condemned.
Now, 1 think we should lay all party
spirit and considerations of self, aside,
and wait our verdict until the Senate of
the State of Nebraska determines the
guilt or innocence of the accused, and
then, and not till then is it time for the
people to pass sentence of condemnation
and hold up their scathed and blackened
characters before the world as unworthy
of the great trust which was conferred
upon them by the consent of their fel
low citizens. X.

Here is a pleasant sketch of the cele
brated Myra Gaines, written from New
Orleans to a Western paper. Since we
came to New Orleans, on going into the
parlor one evening, I saw a group of la
dies and gentlemen, in the midst of which
was a small woman, with sharp-cut fea
tures, holding the attention of those
about her in spiightly and animated con
versation. She was a remarkable look
ing woman.
"Who is that little woman talking
there?" "Don't you know hc-r ? That
is Mrs. Gaines." She was talking about
her celebrated claim, one wing of which,
involving property in this city to tho
amount of 50,000,000, had been decided
agaitir.t her. She said : " I have been
cilled upon to-day by numerous friend
who desired to express their sympr.thy ;
but, dear me, I don't want any sympa
thy." And then she broke out in a clear,
ringing laugh. "Why, I have been fight
ing for 3-t years for luy rights; above a
hundred lawyers have been employed
against me : of these, seven have com
mitted suicide, and several others drank
themselves to death. My Heavenly Fa
ther has spared me and kept me in pood
health, end here I am, at i4, as joyous
as when in my teens." And then she
broke out again into that indescribable
laugh, hearty and joyful Then she
went into a discussion of courts, commis
sioners, reports of committees of Con
gress, etc. She epitomized the whole
case with an eloquent vivacity, a terse
ness and compactness of argument that
would win renown for any lawer in the
laud. She confessed to sixty-four years
of age, though she does not look above
forty-five; saj-sshe expects to live to be
120. She goes about tho street much
on foot, walking with a q ick, elastic
step; dresses in good taste, evidently
enjoying lif? a3 she finds it, and from
long association rendered happy by the
years of litigation that would Lave
proved the death of most any other wo
man in America.

FRCr.1 THE CAPITAL
Lincoln, March 11.
Editor Herald : The morning ses
sion of the House yesterdnj' was occt; pied
with a prolonged discussion on th'i sub
ject of adjournment, and the calling of
an extra session. A concurrent resolu
tion f'o- adjournment to-day at 1 1 a. m.
passed the House, but was promptly
rejected by the grave Senators who pre
fer serving the State, and laboring for
their constituents gratis.
The managers of the Govcrnor'3 trial
filed their teplication yesterday. The
issue is now made up aud the time set
for the beginuing of this important cae
is next Tuesday, at 3 p. 111. It is to be
hoped that when once faiily started
it will be continued from day to day un
til Governor Butler is fully vidicatcd or
condemned.
Mr. Rhodes, of Johnson county, one
of the ablest members of the lower
branch of the Legislature, was yesterday
unanimously elected to fill the vacancy
on the Board of Managers iu the Im
peachment trial of the State Auditor,
caused by the resignation of Mr Ma
jors. Mr. Rhodes beside being a gentle
man of recognized ability, enjoys the
confidence of all who know him and will
not lose any time in giving Gillespie's
transactions a thorough silting.
The House spent the greater part of
the afternoon session on t lie special Ap
propriation lull. Almost every item in
it was reduced, and many stricken out
entirely. Among the items rejected was
tho account of Dov.ey, Trimble &, Co.,
of Omaha, lor furniture bought for the
Executive Depaitmcut. If wo may be
a lewed to express cur opinion, we most
emphatically think this a small way cf
working out spite that the Governor
should Le compelled to pay for the far
ms ure used in his oi.:e- whiio other
Stale offices are furnished by the pa':,!:o
seems very uniu. t. The bill will ner
pass the Senate in its pr'?eut shape.
A doz.Mi or more members have al
ready left for their homes, and many
others have asked for a leave of absence.
It is the intention to keep a quotum of
tho lloue (twenty lueuroer.-.) here if
possible, and after the tiial Las com
menced, to su-pend legislation, and only
meet t call the vote in conformity with
Parliamentary law, it having been deei
ded that one branch cf tho Legislature
could not adjourn and the other continue
in s:ssion for a longer period than three
days.
A special message from the acting
Governor saying he would call an extra
sewion (.in order that members could
draw pay) to finish the business beibie
them, had 110 effect ou the adjournment
que '.t ion.
The writer hereof predicts that tho
House will fail to have a quorum by
Monday, anl then matter j wdl become
badly mixed. Li ck.
Lincol'n, March 13, 1S71.
Editou Hickald : On Saturday the
House took a recess until to morrow
afternoon, tor the purpose of giving the
overworked members a few hours of
solid cotif.ort and rest. The ccnatc
thought they needed something of a
similar nature before entering upon the
arduous duties of the present week and
adjourned until this morning at 10, and
there not being a quorum here at that
time, continued the recess until .'J p. m.
today. The Senatu immediately after
they reassembled resolved themselves
into a Court cf Impeachment to hear
wiiat Auditor Giilespie might have to
offer, he having been summoned to ap
pear at that time.
I might mention here that one cer
tain gentleman of the legal profession
who is known here as Knthusc-istic E
tahrook has taken two several mammoth
contracts, r.r;d 1 believe the contract
price is generally regarded to be a very
reasonable one, taking into consideration
the amount cf labor already performed
and that which remains undone. lie
has contracted, firstly, to convict and
fiud guilty, one David Butler the tempo
rary cx Governor of Nebraska, of high
crimes and misdemeanors in ofiice, and
so to politically speak he is to send that
individual to that 'undiscovered country'
where 'the woodbine twineth.' Second
ly, lie is to honorably vindicate and ac
quit Auditor Gillespie of tho charges
peiferied against him by the House of
Representatives. 1 don't know whether
this is termed hedging or not.
Yesterday he appeared before the
Senate in the capacity last aforesaid,
and informed the High Court of Im
peachment, that they were not disposed
to crowd mutters, but would give the
court and managers time if desired.
'I be cov.it thereupon ordered, that
the defendant file his answer at 2 p. 111.

C l li 12 V :i 1 t'A V
Ed. IIi:?.aid: Dear Sir: About a
year ago 1 lcceived a letter from a vil
lainous cone-em in New York, proposing
to sell me a lot of counterfeit money "so
wall executed as to defy detection," &c,
aud asking lue to come to New York "to
make arrangements for a big busine-is,"
Ao., &c. As tbe address was not quite
right I concluded that there was some
mistake, and I had received a letter de
signed for tome other person, and that 1
was about to be initiated into the myste
ries by accident. At ail event -1 thought
there was a good opening to bring the
camps to grief. I accordingly wrote to
lion. Joliu Taffe, at Washington, pro
posing to go to New York and make the
arrest, providing the Government would
defray iv.y expenses. I thought the
Government could well afford to do it,
as the panics cl..i:ued to Lave eight hun
dred thousand iu Government notes "no
well executed as to defy detection."
Mr. Taffe wrote in reply that the chat
was not iu their Laving the counterfeit
money, but in obtaining money from per
sons in the country who might be in
duced to send for it. They send by ex
press, C. (J. D., or "collect, on delivery;"
and greeny pays over his money to ex
press agent afraid to say a word about
mysterious package, goes away into a
private place and opens it, and behold !
an old bundle of newspapers! Of course
green' says to himself ''sold," and af
terwards keeps very quiet, lest his neigh
bors should think ht) had attempted to
engage in counterfeiting.
(laving learned, by Mr. Taffc's letter,
that the matter had already coma to the
notice of detectives, 1 paid no further
attention to it. But, sorce time since,
a young friend of mine got a similar
couimuiiie itien which now lies before
me, and to day I received another direct
ed to myse'f, all bearing tho same general
impress but purportinglo coiue from dif
ferent men in different parts of the city,
(New York.) Now, it is well known
that these ri.cals can get the names and
address f as many people as they want
all over the country; and then may be,
perhaps, hundreds of thousuuJs of these
circular, scut cut. All this printing and
posiage costJ a vast auiouut of money
and could not be kept up if they did not
make a great many dupes. Wc think,
therefore, that the above facts should be
published as widely as possible, that our
young men mrsy not be led into tempta
tion, and that 1 his rascal y enterprise may
be stopped. Very llesnectfully,
