Ei-Oot. Alvin Saunders. Omaliu dispatch: Ex-Governor Alvin Saunders turned the four-score years point in life yesterday, celebrating the •vent by partaking of a more hearty lunch than usual, lie laughed as he related this fact, and said he had con cluded that it was a little out of place for him to celebrate his birthday re turns. as it seems too much like cel ebrating the fact that lie is getting along in years. Gov. Saunders is about ns bale nnd hearty in appearance as lie was thirty years ago. when his term of office us the lust territorial governor of Ne braska expired, ills hearing is en tirely unimpaired, while as for eye sight. he does not use glosses except for reading line writing and newspa per type, lie apparently feels as' vig orous as many men of forty years less and enjoys life at his comfortable home in the north part of tin" city, after transacting the business of the ilay at his office. Gov. Saunders was born -Inly 1?. INI", and during the eighty years of Ills life he has been a prominent figure in the polities not only of the state, but of the national government. lie was appointed by President Lin coln l,n I sill as territorial governor of Nebraska, and renpolluted by Lincoln just, before his assassination. It Is be lieved that the signing of Governor Saunders commission was the last official act of President Lincoln, as tin1 commission was found on the presi dent's desk, signed, hut not, yet folded, when the office was first opened after the president's ussusslnation. Presi dent Johnson, succeeding President Lincoln, immediately made out an other com mission for <,ov. .Saunders, j and both arc kept in the governor's cliambel' „i relics and held in rever- | pnoc by him. j Uov, Naumh-rs spent six years in the Town Rollu.te and w as seven years post master at .Mount I’leasnnt. Iowa, be ing the first postmaster appointed for that place, lie was four years on the I tali commission, and is believed to tic the only member living of the con stitutional convention which framed tlie constitution under which the ter ritory of Iowa became a state, lie was a member of the I'nitcd States senate for six years, and yesterday recounted Incidents of upwards of tw enty mem bers of that senate, who at the time were more hale and hearty than lie. but who have passed away, • iov. Saunders says he did not start, out in life with tlie intention of bcconi ing mixed in polities, but he thinks lie has had liis share of |>olilicul battles. Those who know him best consider the governor good for many years to come. .lark K't* ttie Contractor*.

This was the meeting at which the contractors had lieen notified several days ago to be present, for the purpose of having new arrangements made concerning the price to tie paid and tlie conditions under which tlie eori uiets were to lie hired out.
