Many VoTxaa- We elsewhere print the proceedings of the Chicago: Republican Convention, wherein is set forth the platform of the Republican party -ot the Nation the line cn which the battle is to be fought the coming summer, and" concerning which there ought to be no dispute among loyal men. The party takes no backward step in its national policy. It moves right on to the front, and takes its position boldly and squarely upon the solid doctrines of universal freedom ; of the admission of the Sorthern Slates to representation under the constitutions lately adopted ; of loyal suffrage in States to be admitted hereafter; of the reduction of taxation as rapidly as the national faith will per mit ; cf the extension of the national debt over, a fair period for redemption ; of the establishment of the national cred it on that basis which insures the lowest rate of interest; of economy in adminis tering the national goverament ; of grat itude to the soldier and sailor, and of their obligation to their orphans and widows; of tha duty of fostering emigra tion; of sympathy to all strugling for their rights, and of that charity which ex tends the right hand of fellowship to those of the rebel army who have forsa ken their treason and are accepting in good faith "the situation. n They with equal force denounce all forms of repu diation as a national crime ; denounce the heresy of monarchial governments that once a citizen always a citizen," as a rule cf barbarism; and denounce the treachery, usurpation and abuse of An drew Johnson. And upon such a plat form stand our heroic leaders General Grant and Schuyler Colfax, with the emblem of victory in their hands. The nation has surely spoken, and her flat must be performed. The decree has gone forth that the present policy, inaugurated by Lincoln and executed by Congress, must be handed down to pos terity through the instrumentality of Grant and Colfax, and all tha powers of the infernal world cannot prevail against it. We are resigned hand her down. We clip the following from the Ne braska City JVeir of a recent date: The Democrat la Nemaha cotrntj are beginning to organise for the fall campaign. Some of tbetn faror the nomination of E. W. Thomas for Chief Justice of tbe State. Should the Democracy elect a Chief Justice the Constitutional right of Air. Eatler to appoint would be tested." We can assure the JVor that the Democracy have but little heart for or ganization. We admit, however, that they are a plucky set of fellows, and would work like tigers on anything like an even thing. They are clever enough to discern that politically the City, Coun ty, State and National White Houses, present and prospective, are a long way beyond their reach, and this cools their ardor and makes organization irksome. E. W. Thomas is a gentleman, a scholar, end a very liberal minded Democrat. His legal attainments, and his moral honesty and his social refinements emi nently fit him for the bench or bar ; and were we compeled to take our Chief Jus tice from the -ranks of the Democratic fold, we know of njae we would so eoon take as him. Should he be a candidate the Democracy would insist upon weight ing him too heavy to give him any chance in the race. Col. R. W. Furnas sent us from Chi cago a telegraphic dispatch of the nom inations for President and Vice Presi dent oa the day they were made. He also brings the Chicago Tribune contain ing full proceedings of the convention. The Colonel is enthusiastic over the ac tios of the convention, and looks upon the success cf the ticket as beyond que, tica. . The Rev. J. T. Baird of this place will address the Philornatheaa society of the State Normal School at Peru on the evening cf June 12th. The public are respectfully invited to attend. The County Teachers' Institute will meet r.t" Lo'adon on the Gth of June. We , sincerely hepe every teacher in the coin ty will le present. IIASS MEETING 1. Ensrlxiecr's Report ortJi Broirn ville, Fort ILcaxncy and Paci fic Railroad. -Ilcport of tlie Financial A"grcnt. Brownville, May 20th, 1SCS. Pursuant to a call a number cf the cit izens cf Nemaha county met at Mcpher son's Hall to hear the report of Engineer Smith oq the probable cost and practica bility cf a railroad from Brownville to Big Sandy, and the report of the Finan cial Agent of the Brownville, Ft. Kear ney and Pacific Railroad Co., in regard to the prospect of raising funds for mak icg a permanent survey of the same. R. F. Barret, Esq., was called to the Chair. Dr. McPherson- stated the ob ject of the meeting, and called upon Mr. Smith for a report, who made the fol- Mowing : Browvtillc, Nib., May2Ist, ISCS. To the Pretident and Directors of the Brownville, Ft. Kearny f Pacific li. Jt. Eih : I reictiuUy submit the following report of a reconnoisfaiice of tbe Soothern Route of the proposed Railroad from Brownville to Bit; Sandy on tbe Little Blue river. The proposed ro'ite passes tbroush tbe following counties Nemaha, JoLnson. Gace and Jef ferpon touching tbe county teats Teruuiseh and Beat rice, and as nearly as is practicable through tbe centre north and south, also ne tr the principal aettlci&enU and cultivated pontons thereof. The dibtance will be approximately about ninety-five tulles The country for tbe first thirty-Ova miles la watered by the Little Nemaha, Muddy and Big Nemaha with tieie numerous branches. Although tbe streams are froiaeiiibt to ten miles apart, yet the intermedi ate space is badiy cut tip wi h ravines running In a southerly direction, all of which would have to be crossed at a heavy expense for g adlng and waterways ; but try following some of tbe branches or creeks lead- In nearly ia tbe rlpttf direction, a tolerably fair route can be found without heavj grades or very expensive work, but the route will be necearlly circuitous. The divide west of the Big Nemaha is drained by Tankee Creek, with Us numerous tributaries running nearly to all paints of the compass by Turkey creek cunning south-east, and by Muddy, Cedar and Bear creeks cn the west, emptying into the Big Blue This divide is, however, n,t so badly cut up as the above mentioned ones From Beatrice westward the divide is drained by Cub. Creek, on the west by many branches of Little Sandy and ty Rock creek, the two letter emptying into the Little Bine. This divide Is more level than any prtion heretoire passe i over, extending from a half to two miles in wld h. and about twenty-two miles in leneth. The divide north r,f Cobcreelt is also very large and level, and cither of them offers a g od route. The population of the counties west cf Nernaha is small, but rapidly increasing in numbers. The princi pal settlement are found along the streams. By the time your road wou'd reach thcin. they will have more than doubted, and will be better aU'e to bear their tha re in pushing forward this nitr'h needed road. Of tbe soil I seel hardly peak. You all know its rich qualities and capabilities, when cultivated, cf yielding heavy crops nf urala of all kn.ds. Timt er along the roate, su:tab!e for bridging purpos es, is bard to find; and a further development of coal for fuel for locomotives will be found uecenary, orelse fuel will bave to be tranfported from the river for use alons the line of the road. I am at present of cpinion that it will be found cheaper to obtain bridge material from the MitKissifpi river and transport it here, than to build the necehsary bridges of the timber of the country. Stone is found in larjro quantities on all the principal ptreams, principally masosia lime etone. It nuke good iime, and well adapted lor bridge abutments acd culverts. I ehouid recommend the ue of fUoe ror waterways Id preference to imp rtitig timber for trustle work, besides the farther advajtaje of then having a permanent road-bed. a matter of decided economy in maintaining a roal-bed herea'ter. GENERAL REVIEW OF ROUTES EXAMINED. In order to find the most practicable route to leave tbe Missouri river, I bave examined the principal ra vines in tbe neighborhood, both north nd eonth of the town. Tbe ravine leading through South Brownville is tbe only practicable one to reach the divide between the Missouri and Little Nemaha rivers; but to ascend by that will retder necessary a Heavy grade, and a deep summit cut, although not a long one. The ravine Inio which it leads opens into tbe Little Nemaha bottom a considerable distance south of Br.wnvilie. The route down the bottom to Nemaha City offers no hevy grade, no heavy work, but will be some fonr or Ave miles longer to Long's Branch (by which the most favourable rcute across the Nemaha divide is fouDd.) quite a serious item as f-tr as iron and ties and main tenance of roadway is concerned, but less power would be required to move heavy fclght or passenger trains by this route than by th.e South Brownville or louey creek routes. The Honey Creek route leaves the Missouri bottom about three ny!e above the town. It offer a very fair route so far as I have examined it; but would also ren der necessary an ascending and dwcndinn graae, with a summit cut to cron the divide to the Little Nemba. It is however, I think, tbe best route to go to the Little Nemaha to connec t with Lung's Branch, and cross the divide to Muddy creek. The general direction to Long's Branch is for the first mile west. It then bears around to south-west, and fi nally reaches the divide at the lowest p-iint in a south erly direction about six miies from, lu mouth. The corresponding draw on tbe west iide leads eouth-wi-st to the Muddy creek, striking it at a point where the river takes a general direction south. Following up Muddy creek the main fork Is crossed uear SteinmanV, and tbe south fork (incorrectly so called) is followed in a north westerly direction to it had. The ronie br wemaha City would ascend Pa rick's bvancb to its head, then would have to cros tbe heads of a number of ravines between it and a point suitable to descend to Mud.iy creek. It wonli probably be two or three mile shorter. Snrveys alone can determine which cf the two r utes wou d be beat to d pt. Al though more expensive, It would be more direct, wlih J nut as favourable grades ; an I I am inclined to favor this Soctberc rou e. Taedivide between Mn ldycretk and the north fork of the Great Nemaha ia badly cut tip by ravine cf Long Branch running south-easterly, and Spring creek waters running north) but a very fair route can be found acro.ts to B-ity's branch leading to Tecutn.'eb, thecoucty-seat of Jolinion cmiuty. Fr)m Tec'tm,-eb. west two routes offer. The south foute asccuaa by a branih directly west of Tecuuveh croe-ing the divide to toe head waters of Turkey creek. wLirh it fallowed to the real maioylivtde soae 12 miles south-west of Tecumscb. But In irder to beid the south fork of Tankee creek the line would bave to fol low the divide m me six miles eonth, and into tbe lower tier of aections of the townbhlp soutn cf Trcumseh. It then beirs n rtb to the head waters of Cedar creek, descending which far two or three miles tUe nature of the country easily allows u to cross over on to Bear creek, and thus reach the Bine at Beatrice, the county seat of Gace county. The northern route wou'd ascend the Nemaha to Tan kee creek in a north-westerly direction about three miles, then follow Tankee creek some four or five uilea to a point from which the divide on tbe north could be reached, following it to the bead water of Bear creek to descend to Beatrice on tbe Big Bine. Both of these route have their advantages and dis advantages. Tapkee creek bottoms are crooked and veiy n-rr-iw, the creek in many cases washing the foot of high point, rendering necessary heavy work or else bridges to cross tbe creek several times On the south ern route tbe work would fceprob.bh' lew expensive but longer, and the divide at some points Is crooked with hhort elbows. I atro examined two routes west of the Blue, between Big Sandy on the Little Blue, at which p ilot we shall connect with the Atchison and Ft Kearney railroad surveys now being made. The northern route, after reaching tbe divide from Cub creek is very level and broad, having butone or two sloughs nf any account to CToa. it forms a great circle of which Cub creek is the chord, and bears north nearly to Swan City. An ea-y descent can be sot by a branch of ihe Little Sandy to tbe Little Blue. Tlietoute south of Cubcreek think will be found more direct and shorter, with easy grades and light work. Surveys alonecan decide wbicb. of the many routes will be found the test, most direct, cheapest t build, and best suited to meet the waias of the community. That a possible route caa.be-found across Southern Ne braska 1 have not tue least doubt An approximate es timate is subjoined i't ibe probable, cost to grade and bridge the road for nitiety-flve miles. Bridges wi.i be required over the two Nemahas, Muddy creek, and souicou Tanks creek (if that route be adopted) also on Cedar and Bear creeks, and over the Big Blue and the Sandys. 15 miles at $6 675 por cillcay $623,000. As an estimate of the rr bab:a al of a permanent survey, and the time reqairtd to make the same, to gether with maps profiles and estimates. I submit the following : Time required from seven to eight months; cost about 1 3,00o. Respectfully submitted. J03KPH 8, KM ITU, Civil Engtoeer. Dr. J. W.Blackburn, Financial Agent, made the following report: 8CRVTIN(J ITKD.

On motion, resolved that the financial agent be requested to solicit subscriptions to the amount of fifteen hundred dollars. The agent reported further that lead ing men cf Johnson, Gage and Jefferson said that their counties would subscribe liberally to the capital stock of the Brownville, Ft.

Congress is determi r.P.-l tn 1 the 15th of July. Grant Analyzed. A. D. Richardson, in his forthcoming life of Grant, says: Some still see in him only the darling of fortune energetic mediocrity, which has blundered into success. I think such axe misled by two-of his pecular qualities: I. His unimaginaiiveness. When he has nothing to say, he says nothing. In private he fills no interstices of conversa tion by remarks upon the weather, or in quires after the babies of his visitor. In public he can make no speeches simply of form or compliment; and since the world cared to hear his opinions on affairs his official position has never allowed him to speak freely. But in public or private, when he has anything to utter by tongue or pen, he says it with ex treme rapidity and clearness! in terse, marrow, idiomatic English. Even then he clothes his thoughts in no flowers of rhetoric, but present them in the plainest horaelist words. Napoleon's memorable sayings are all of this order : 'From ihese summits forty centuries look down upon you.' Wp will carry our victorious' eagles beyond the pillars of Hercules.' Grant's are the exact antipodes: 'I have no terms but unconditional surrender.' 4I propose to move immediately upon vour works.' I shall figh it out on this line if it takes all summer.' 4I found the armv like a balkv horse.' 'General Bailer was bottled up.' Said the dram atic Corsican. after Ausieilitz: 'Soldiers I am satisfied with you. You have deco rated your eagles with immortal glory.' Said the matter-of-fact American to his shooting men, after Port Gibson: 'Sol diers, 1 thank you. That is all I can say. You have done a good day's work to day but you must do a belter one to-morrow.' No shining rhetoric, no poetic gushes; only the simple, unadorned fact. "II. He is the most undramatio of men. Scott was nicknamed by his enemies 'Fuss and Featheis. Grant has less fufsand fewer leathers than any other public man of his day. He believes, with the Chinese proverb, that 'That which is is.' He accepts things just as he finds them, not troubling himself about the 'Eternal Verities' bat doing promptly, thorougly and subordinately the duty which lies right befjre him, however prosaic and disagreeable. He acts his convictions instead of talking them. 'H3 is utterly genuine and guiltless. He still preseives in his high estate the sweetness and simplicity of his country boyhood. Altogether free from cant, his lips, obeying the teachings of his mother, have uttered nooaih, been soiled by no coarseness. "He is a miracle of serenity and self poise. During the terrors of Belmont, when an aide, with pallid cheeks, cried, 'Why, General, we are surrounded!' there was no perceptible change in his pleasant face or calm vpice as he answer ed, 'Then we will cut our way out. 'Three years later, as he read Lee's dispatch proposing the surrender of the army of Northern Virginia, he was equaly un moved ; no elation shone in his face or sounded in. the ordinary tone ia which he asked, Well, General Rawlins, how do you think ihat will do ?' 'Tried by both extremes of fortune, and never disturbed by either,' he remains as simple and un affected to day as in his years of poverty and obscurity." Proposed Recess. Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. President, I move that the Senate proceed to the con tideration of the concurrent resolution of the House of Representatives in refer ence to an adjournment. Tha motion was agreed to; and the Senate proceeded to consider the follow ing concurrent resolution of the House of Representatives : Jletoleed by tt flime of Ii'preentatice$,(iho Senate concurring,) That at the adjjurnment on Saturday, tbe 16tu ioataut, a recess bo taken until Monday, the 2jlh Instant. . Mr. TIPTQN. Mr. President, I am clearly of opinion that our constituents are already disgusted at the number of adjournments we have recently had, and I think that as the majority with which I am identified are responsible for these adjournments it is high time that we be gin to look them in the face. If we adjourn now for one week, we then have a precedent for adjourning for the New York convention We know that the fall campaign will occupy the attention especially of members of tha House of Representatives who are to be re-elected and we know the interest lhar Senators will take in that campaign, and conse quently we are to have a short summer session. The result of an adjournment now is to cut off the maturing and con summating of private bills and bills of a local character, dearer to some of our constituents than matters of general leg- j lslation, and more needed in their esti mation. It is on our part, therefore, I think, a relinquishment of the private bills and bills of a local character to take this adjournment now and the consequent audiiitional adjournment which will fol low hereafter. For this reason, as the summer session must necessarily be ehort, I am utterly opposed to an 'ad journment at this time. I am especially opposed to that adjournment from the fact that the reconstructed States of which we have talked so much, and in J whose introduction here we are undoubt edly so deeply interested, are waiting at our doors to' be admitted ; and when a bill for their admission shall pass it has to run the gauntlet of the veto, end we do not expect its return here under tea days from the time of its consumation, and then it is to be passed over the veto again, as has been the history hereto fore. Consequently, if we are to admit these States at tnis session, it is high time that we act upon the question, and act promptly. Every interest that ap peals to us as individuals and as repre sentatives of the party that if responsible to this country for its legislation at the present time imperatively demands that we be found at our posts continuously untill we adjourn for the session. As to putting the Hall in better trim for the summer, I see nothing in that suggestion. If we remain here now, we shall have a session of but perhaps six weeks, and there is no remodeling neces sary either for our comfort, or our health. In no view which I can take of the question can I see any reason whatever wny we should adjourn now after the re peated adjournments we have eo recently had, and which have worked cut such marvelous resuks as they have in the consumaticn of the vote cf thi? morning.

LETTER FI1031 SENATOR TIPTOE Washington, D. C. May 13th. Jarvis S. Church Dear Sir : I am not astonished that the friends of railroad in Nemaha county are very aniious to hear from their measure, the Brownville and Fort Kearney Railroad. Impeachment blocked everything, and still holds all measures of the kind back. Before it came up, the officers of the Central Pacific road from Atchison, Kan sas, west, '"were here in full force for ad ditional aid for their road, which is com pleted one hundred miles, and although they got a report, and their bill became a special order, and was backed up by old and powerful friends, it has hung fire for more than two months. And when we get through the trial it will have the precedence ; but I am of opin ion even it will not get attention till after the waning Stales from the South are admitted ; and then so many mem bers are to be re-elected next fall that there will be an effort to get away early, and so mauy more are fearful of making grants or appropriations that no one can guess what measures will receive final action. The Hr)n. Mr. Cavode, appreci ating these influences, said in my hearing to Dr. McPherson aDd Col. Furnas, just hefore they left for home I would rather enter into bond with security for the passage of y6ur bill, after the elec tion, than promise anything now." Mr. Pomeroy, chairman of the committee on lands, is our fast friend, and whatever can be will be dtrne for us.' - If any one thinks I am indiferent as to the result, hey do me great injustice. My town lo in Browtjvilltr and loud DPtir LiUIlg's ' Bridge, need the stimulus of a railroad as much as any man's property in the Slate, so in a selfish point of view I could not be other than anxious. I wih the road for the good of all ; and knowing the enterprise of the age demands it, no tffurt shall be spared in that direction. I am very1 truly. T. W. TIPTON. The Washington correspondent of the St.' Louis Evening Dispatch snys those who have hitherto been slow to believe that Chirf Justice Chase vas seriously being pressed for the Democratic nom ination, have been compelled to change their minds by the appearance this mor nitig, in the telegraphic-dispatches furn ished to ari0u3 Democratic pipers by ihe official stenographer at the White House, of an article commending Air Chase to the New York Convention as the strongest candidate. The idea put forth and which is undoutedly approved, if not inspired,, by the President, is that there is a general feeling, in consequence of the strength of the Republican nomina tions, that the most available candidates must be chosen by the Conservatives ; that, ihose most prominently urgd for the nomination unite in this view ; that there is quite a general concurrence in the idea that the Chief Justice could un ite all factions among the Conservatives; could carry seventy Southern electoral votes, and would . command mere Con servative Republicans and disaffected Radicals than any other man that could b nominated. It is needless to say that the publica tion of this remarkable dispatch, coming: from the source, it does, ' exciies much comment. It is regarded as a corrobo ration of the statements which have hith erto encountered same doubts, that Mr. Chase would accept the Democratic nom ination, and as throwing light upon his anxiety to procure Johnson's acquittal, as well as intriguing with the colored clergy-who have been assembled herein General Conference. Closing. The United States Circuit Court. Judge Dundy presiding, is ex pected try close the current term this week, and it is possible will adjourn to day. A very large amount of business has. been done during the sitting of the court. Judge Dundy has despatched its buisness with great industry and prompt ness, and has won universal regard for the dignity and urbanity with which he has presided and esteem for the legal ability and learning which he has dis played in his adjudication of the many and intricate cases which have come he fore him.

The announcement cf the name of Gen. Joseph R. Eawley for Permanent Presidtct was. received with tremendous applause. On motion, tho convention adjourned till lOa'cloci to-morrow morning. .... Chicago, May 21. Tho Convention was call d to ord er at 10 J5. Prater by Rev. Doctor Culver, of Chicago. The Presideat announced that tho committee on resolutions bad sent word that they would bo ready to report before 11 o'clock. Jlr. Spencer, of N. T., moved that tho resolutions of tb Union League presented yesterday bo spread npon the records. 31r. Conwaj, of La., called for a reading. Mr. Spencer said bis motion looked to a matter of coucteft on'y, and its adoption would not com mit the conveniion to the ir endorsement. He mov ed that the resolutions be recaled from tho com mittee. The resolutions to which be referred, wuh a view to being rooordsd, it was deferable to make a record to the foci that thee resolutions bad been presented. The resolutions were read. They declare the Union League of rital importance to the success of the Republican party, and pledge tha loyal North to uphold andprotect the loyal people of tbe South ; express high appreciation of the patience and forbearance of ttie negroes of the South, their devotion as Union soldiers daring the war, and declare them entitled to the ballot; declare impartial suffrage a cardinal principle 01 t'ie Republican party . endorse Congress ; consider the bour parsed for hesiUticn, compromise or ltu ioncy towards those whosjpportordjfeni traitors , denounce President Johnson and the Repablican Senators who disappointed the kopesof ertry loyal hfsrt in the land b) voting for the acquittal of President Johnson when they knew him guilty of the crime chaiged. Finally, they reco&vnend the nomination of Grant. The onlj point in tho resolutions excitirjj much feeling was that denouncing tho non-impeaching Senators, whi3h was received with great applause. Haussarek, ex-minister to Ecuador, was called out, and made an eloquent party speech. There was Some confusion in the lobby; interrupting, Hau sarek said tho convention probably was not in a spirit at this time to hear a speech on the po litical situation, and bo was not prepared, and proposed to suspend. Cries go on, go on. The chair called for order in tho lobbies. Haussarek proceeded to read hi oration. 1 General John M. Palmer of Illinois, wis called. Mr. Palmer deplored tha election of Johu3on and the failure of tbe impeachment. Johnson stood in the way of the country, and should bave been re moved. Great cheering. Impeachment was a sub stitute by modes of civilization for revolution and do apitation. Johnson was an obstruction and should tavo been removed. Renewed cheers. But we nsw propose to fubinit theSa Unes again to the people for their dacisn at tbe ballot-box, and obtain a verdict which shall place these questions beyond all dispute. He urged an open, clear, certain platform, which shall leave no doubt as to its pur pose or meaning ; and in conclusion, urged such nomination for Vice Pesidant ai shall leave no temptation nor auassinatien of-Grant. Cheers. If the Baltimore Convention had made no mistake in 1S64, Abraham Lincoln woaid be ia Washington to welcome Grant on fourth of March next. Ureat applauie. On motion of Mr. Cochrane, Senater Thayer of Nebraska, was called for. Music, Star Spangled Banner by five bandi. App!ause Mr. Thayer declined, bickles and Tremaina were called both absent. Mr. Thompson, chairman of tho committee npon resolutions appeared ani reported tha. following resolution : 1. We congratulate tho country on the assured succouoftke reconstruction policy of Congre3 , as evidenced by the adoption in a majority of the States lately ia rebellion ; of the constitutions se curing equal oivil and political rights te all, and regard it as tbe duty of the Government to sustain these constitutions and prevent tha people of such States from being remitted to ay-state of anarchy or military rule. 2. The euarrantee by Oonrjess 0 f equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every consideration cf pablio safety aad gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained; while the question of suffrags ln loyal States properly be longs to the people of those States. 3. We deneunce all forms of repudiation as a national crime, and national honor requires the payment of public indebtedness in the utmost good taiih to our creditors at horns" and abroad, not only according to the letter, but spirit of tho laws under w rrv . . m-m vwmwwum . . . . . 4. It is due to the labor of tho nation that tax ation should be equalised and reduced as rapaidly as the national fai&h will permit. 5tb. The national debt, constructed as it has been for the preservation of the anion for ail time to come, should be extended over a fair period :or re demption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce tha rale of interest thereon whenever ii can ba done. 6 th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is so. to improve our credit that capitalists will seek to lend us m ney at lower rates of inter ett tj.m we now pay. and must continue to pav so long as repudiution partial or total open or covert is threatened orsuspected (app'aaie). 7th.
