OPINION OF ERE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Attorney General Iloherts gives it
as his opinion that tin. Governor had
no riiiht to loan the sehool funds.
The tate had a right to loan the
.sehool funds, through her Cotmnin
Moners, hut uot the five per cent,

INVESTIGATION.
seems to he the order ofthe day. The
S ate hits now taken up the lints,
anil proposes to go to the hottom of
the matter.
Mr. Sheldon offered a reeolution
yeMerday as lol ows :
' Wkiikeas, 1 1 is currently report
ed and puhliikly charged throughout
this State, that one or mine of our
Male ollieers have heen guilty oi
fraudulent practices in regard to the
sriiiioi luml ; and, whereas, a decent
respect lor mi i. -elves and the wishe
ol the people we repre.-elit, lequiies
that the f..cts con lieeted with the al
leged t rands s''ouhl he investigated
ami inaile known, so that, if neeei-sa-ry,
legal measure- may he le-ortcd to
in the piemiMS, for the heller uiveM
nieiit and sale ptotectton of the jiuhlic
inonie.-, tin rent,
A'cfolrcd, that the President of this
hoiiy appoint a .select ronuniitee of
ihrei-.wlio.se duty it shall he to in
vesiigatessiid alleged ftatlds, and re
port the .same Willi llicj.'-roiirhiHiiiij,
at the eailitst moment ; and I hat said
column lee have power to compel
w iuie.-ses ami papers to he hroughl
liefoiv them, to atluiinister oaths, ami
to do a'l l hat is nerosary to earry m-
lo elleei the letter ami spirit of this
resolution."
Parsed unanimously.
The House at the Mime time have
pas.-ed two ie,-oluuou.s, to inquire in t.
t.ie Cohu tu elui-es and the correet
ne or' the Lanu Ciniyuis'ioners' re
ports, with the amount of land reailv
.-old.
THE RESULT.
Hence all other matters pale he fore
the Inquisition. The "liiiiuigrHtiou
hill" ha stuck in Holland, the "Iteg-istry-Iaw"
is forgotten, and the
Heid-law" is turneil out to grass,
until next lamliiug time.
La-t evt ning we hat! the first ses
fion of the grand high Court of
INTERROGATING INVESTIGATION.
We all assembled in the Senate
chamher, and about eight o'clock the
court "sat down." About now the
Governor matte his appearance and
quietly took a sent ; the Auditor, Mr.
Gillespie, Gen. KMaLiook, a number
of the "members," some itizens ami
Roy," were on ham! to see the
tiling out. The luminous eyes o;
"i-oLster" shone from behind Col.
Crti, se, 's desk, the Tribune man was
there, and your own leporter. Judge
Dundy came in to see fa r play. Kx
ecietary Kenuard looked into the
door, but concluded it was not his
funeral, just yet ami left. The ses
sion is called to order, cigars are
thrown away, and the agony begins.
TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES TAKEN
rURSUAN'l TO TIIE RESOLUTION
OF THE SENATE.
A C. Tichviior, is called and sworn
to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
all he knows about the business. His
eyes scintilate under the as-light,
and his diamonds ibc-h in the face of
the Gram! inquisitor, Judge Has
Call. who asks:
Q Your name, age and place of
residence?
A. Hti' and live in Lincoln.
Are you -acquainted with the Gov
ernor, Auditor and Treasurer of this
ijlaseV
I am.
Have you had any dealings with
them in their official 'capacity in le
ganl to the School Fund of Nebraska
it so, what?
T made an application to all three
asCommissioueis, for a loan of $10.00(1
about July. 1S70. The Aunitor con
sented under certain conditions; af
terwards the Governor gave his con
sent : I leceived as such loan $0,000.
State amount of seeuiity given, and
the kind.
The security was a mortgage on
the Ticheimr House and a stone busi-ne-g
house, adjoining Ticheimr
House grounds ; the amount expn ss
ed in the moitgage Was $10 OoO, aud
m wife was a partner in the loan.
State thfc conditions on which you
obtained that loan?
lieing in tit'eat want. of fundi, r of
fered Mr. Brock a bonus of $1,0.10 to
secuie the loan.
Stale what knowledge the Govern
or oi Auditor had of,the bonus?
I have no reason to think that they
knew of the bonus at all.
State whether ou drew out ofthe
State Trca-ury the $10,t)U0, or wheth
er you only drew $9,000, anil left the
bono- theie?
When I gave the securities, T got a
paper showing that I had secured the
School Fund tor $10,000, and that I
was entitled to draw that much from
the State funds.
Rv whom wa-t this paper signed ?
Rv Mr. Brock as Deputy Treasurer.
I think. At that time then- were $3 -
500 reported on hand, about. That
amount was credited to nieoti this pa-lu-r
ami denosited to my account in
the bank. 1 think $500 was paid as
interest on the loan at that time.
State the total amount j-ou drew on
that paper?
Some tune after that, (about thirty
days) I made a settlement with Mr.
Brock for tlu $0,00.1, giving my check
fin $1 OIK).
Was that check deducted from the
$10,000?
It was, I understood. The amount
actuallv received by me was only $9,
000. Thi'iondiiloas were in writing,
ami were, as above stated, and also re
quired that th said propertj' should
be free and clear from all incumbran
cer. What farther had the Auditor to do
with that loan? . - -
Nothing fun her tomy knowledge.
How far did the Governor know of
this?"
The Governor requested the Attor
! uey Gcnaral to examine the securities
BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA,
and if the Attorney General thought
they were ample, he would give his
consent to the Joan.
What did the Aforney General do
In the premises?
He examined the titles and records
to the property, and drew up the bo..d
and mortvage securing the loan.
As the securities were ample, the
Governor had no more to do with it
Dnl the Auditor or the Governor
sign any more papers?
I think not no.
To whom were these securities de
livered? To Mr. Brock.
Did you then get the money?
After several davs I think I receiv
ed the money. The stone building
fell down after the loan was obtained.
The building was not completed at
the time of the loan. The 'lichenor
House was completed, except aonie
graining and varnishing inside.
What incumbrances, it any, exist
ed on thv Tichetiur House at the time
of the loan?
Two mortgages, one for $4,000 to
Thos. Bristol, and one for $1,500 to
the same party. No mechanic leins
filed then. Some have been filed
since to the amount of $4,000, proba
bly, but a large number of these were
or woik done on the building which
fell down, and I don't consider them
valid leina against the Ticheuor
House.
What knowledge did the Governor,
Auditor, or Deputy Treasurer have of
the.-e ineuinbiances when they made
this loan?
No leins were on thebtiildings then.
The inortg ge.- weie on record. They
probably knew of them. The liens
have mostly been tiled within thirty
duys.
Do von know that the Governor or
Treasurer recti ved any patt of that
$1,000?
I understood that the deputy, Mr.
Brock, was acting for Mr. Sweet. Mr
Sweet was not present at anv of these
transactions, or gave any direction in
writing. The business was transact
ed :it the banking house of Sweer &
Brock in Lincoln. Don't know where
the Treasurer's oilice wsis, but sup
pose this was it. My bank account
wa- overdrawn at the time of the loan
probably $:-i.OO0. A large portion ot
the wood work in the house which
ell down has been buined up for
kindling, and some was used tor a
barn, and the Moue has been sold to
iliil'eieiil parlies round town. I paid
up my bank account at the tfnc ot
the Iomi. The wo.knieii got most of
the proceeds ofthe house which fell
down.
The Governor, by consent of the
committee, asked Mr. Ticheuor some
questions.
Gov. State what the property was
worth when the loan was given.
A. The property has cost nearly
$35.0(10. J would not have sold it for
that, in cash, before the stone house
oil down.
Bv Mr. Haskell What was the
land or lots worth exclusive of the
buildiims?
A. r paid $1,700. The chief value
ol the pioperty eousiste I in the im
piovemeuts. The building that fell
down was valved at $7 000. The loan
was for five years, and the interest
ten percent., to be paid semi annu
ally m advance,
The house stood in
the name of Amanda F. Tichenor
t lie other in my own.
The testimony was then read to Mr.
Ticheimr, and, being pronounced cor
rect, was sinned "Anson C. Tiche
nor,
i'cson 0 Brock. Sworn, says he is
"J7yeaisold. and resides in Lincoln ;
hear pail of Tichenor's testimony ; I
was deputy Treasurer, and the one
referred to in that testimony. Tiche
imr came to me ami desired a loan,
and -aid he had the consent of the
Governor and Auditor. I told him
as far as I was concerned I would do
all I could to help him get the mon
ey. As Mr. Sweet was a candidate
for Trcasuier again. I would not use
bis name in any way or form, hut he
could get consent of the other par
ties. I think this was the second
State loan ever made. There was no
form or order of application evei
made. The first loan was made on a
verbal application by the party, and
the Governor came down and told me
it was all right, and he got the mon
ey on a bond ami moitgage. (It was
the Cailmatr loan). I thought in this
instance, not wishing Mr. Sweet's
name to figure in it, that we would
have some written form ami order for
application. Iwioteouta mem. for
Mr. Tichenor, ami told htm to get
.-time one to put it in proper shape a
an order. I think he said the Audit
or was opposed to loafflng him the
money; that he (the Auditor) want
ed to put it into "geneial fund war-raK.t-."
I told Tichenor it was nec-e-sary
he should have an order from
the Auditor as well as the Governor :
they constituted a majority of the
board. I think lie first paper pn -sented
was an application written b
the Auditor, ami signed "A. ,C. anil
Amanda Tichenor." On the hack of
that application was an order some
thing like this ;
"James Sweet. Treasurer, or N. C.
Brock, Deputy Tieasurer, will loan
to A. (. and Amanda Ticheuor $10,
000 when the Slate indebtedness is
provided for.
Signed John Gillespie,
Auditor."
The next paper was an order from
the Governor to the same effect, ex
cept no nieiit ion was made of the
denledness of the Suite. I could
say as the Auditor ever came to
me. The Governor came to see
ln
not se
me
atiout it. ami wanted to know what I
thought about il. (This was previ
ous to his order.) I told him that the
Tichenor building was helping to
build up the town and i saw no cause
why he should not have the money.
The Governor said "Tichenor was a
ood fellow, spent his monev here,
and it would help him along." I
presume after this Tichenor got the
tinier trom the Governor.
When he came with his order. I
told him he inuslhave the Attorne
General draw up the papers, and gel
an "abstract," and he did so. It was
a "boiiii aud mortgage and abstract ot
title." In order to cut oft" aniod
else, we would charge up the l0 000
to the Stale, ami I gave him a dm
bill for the amount, signed ". O
Brock for Sweet & Brock; or N (
Brock. Deputy Treasurer." I don'i
know which now, and endorsed on
the back of the due bill S3.0o;i mid
placed it to the credit of A. C. Tich
enor on the bank books of Jam
Sweet Brock, -md I think Mr. T.
gave me a check for $500 on J. s. &
B.. for which I gave him a State
Treasurer's receipt, being for six
months' interest on $10,000 loaned
Mr. T. by the State; (and here I
made a mistake in charging Mr. T. in
advance and in making such a mem.
to that effect on the Governor's or
der.) Some time after that I gave
Mr. T. credit on the books of J. S. &
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1871.
B.. for $7,000. I had the mortgage
recorded when given.
The Governor was particular about
having the buildings insured, and the
policies payable to the State of Ne
braska By Hnecall Who furnished you
the description of the property' to be
mortgaged to secure this loan?
Brock asks questions back and
Hascall objects sparring.
A. Mr. T. furnished an abstract,
made out by Seth Robinwtn. At or
ney General, ami it drscribed the
property. There was a verbal umler
stamiing between the Governor and
myself about the security besides this
paper. Mr. Beecher, an insurance
a-ent, had insured the buildinc for
$12 000 in two policies. I am inform
ed that Mr. Beecher left one of these
policies, with one of our clerks, to he
delivered to me to be held for the
State. I made a fizzle in trying to
endorse onepolicy iiinl tore it up.
Another one was written. One poli
cy was taken out ami cancelled by
demand of Mr. Beecher, the insur
ance agent. No policy was put in
place of it. An application was made
to Mr. Boggs, my partner in the in-
fturnnce business, to write out a policy
for $5,000, and he asked me, as his
partner in tiie insurance business,
whether or not he should write the
policy. I told him I would ; some
body must pay for it. Tiie policy was
written and held till the end of the
month. The Governor said he was
too hard up to pay fur it, as the pre
mium wa-. $150. At the end of the
month Mr. Boggs went to see the
Governor, who approved of drawing
a warrant for the premium, but the
Auditor refused to draw it, as there
was no funds to draw on. The Gov
ernor then saitl he would be down
ami see me about the insurance; saitl
what he would like to do was. foi
each one of us to pay one-third tu"
that amount. I told him I would
pay my third it the rest would. No
arrangement being effected, ami as it
was time to make Our report. I told
Mr. Boggs to send the policy home
and cancel it.
Q. Was the policy, when surren
dered, among the securities of the
State?
A. It was in the safe of James
Sweet & Block.
Q. :Did you or did you not receive
a bonus of $1,000 on account of that
loan ?
A About the time Tichenor spoke
to me of getting some State money,
he said to me that if I would help
him get that money, ho would give
tne$5-.0 make me ji present of $500.
I told him I did not want his money;
would tio all I could for him without
money. He said it was nobody's bu
siness if he choose to' give me $500.
I told him I did not wa t his money
and would have nothing to do with
it. Sometime after I met him on the
.-treet near Quick's saloon. He told
im he had the Governor all right,
and would make that $1,000 to me. I
told him I did not want his money.
When, the papers were fixed up and
I paitl lii m the $-7.000, die gave me ji
check on J. S. & B. Tor $1,000. At
the same time he was 'owing J. S. &
B. between $325 and $300, which I
told him I would make him a present
of. I cannot say how Tichenor's
bank account stood when the loan
was matie. come ami see me hooks ;
I would take great pleasure in show
ing you the books. Brock refuses to
tell his private business, ami tell if
he received any money or monies as
a prcsttit about that time, from psir
ties to whom School money was loan
ed ; hut says ' as State Deputy Treas
urer I did not "
Mr. Brock said, of his knowledge
the State officers did not get any of
the $1. 000 received from Tichenor.
Q. Did you receive from any of
the parties making the loan, any
monies as an agent or Attorney ?
A. No, sir. I did not; neither as
an :igent. State Treasurer or attorney,
I did not.
Q. Did you in any capacity receive
any money in compensation for mak
ing :i loan?
A. No, sir, I did not.
Q Hjis any person getting n loan
left any money with you which has
never been taken back ?
A. As Deputy Treasurer there has
not; as a banker, there has. Col.
C-iopsey has some, and left some mon
ey which has never been taken hack.
"q. Are you aide to state whether
Gv. Butler knew that you got $1,-
000 of Tichenor at tli time you re
ceived the same?
A. Only through the papers. The
Ilrrald saitl Butler and my.-elf got it.
It was now 12 o'clock, and the com
mittee adjourned until to-morrow at
1 o'clock, ami Mr. Brock's examina
tion will be continued to-morrow ev
ening. Lincoln, Wednesday, Feb. 1.
John Gillexpie, State Auditor, sworn

MR SWEET'S LETTER TO TIIE AUDITOR.
"Nebraska City, Mm eh 23, '70
Dear Sir lam in receipt of your
favor of the 22d tiist., aud I entirely
agree with you in regard to investing
the "permanent school fund" in gen

A. C. Tichnor applied tor a loan.
T. urged it. and wanted a form drawn
up. I drew one up as follows :
FORM OF APPLICATION.

I wanted the State indebtedness.
paid myself, first A few.,.days after
Tichenor b ought me Gov. Butler V
order, (published fn Hall's report)
and asked me to act upon it. I then
wrote to Mr. Sweet as follows :
Office of State Auditor, 1 .
JjIncoln. Jat.. 21. 1870.
2Ton James Sweet. Treasurer ; or AV
C. Mrock. Dep. Treasurer:
You will please loan to A. C. Tiche-j

vestment, School funds to the amount
of $10,000, when the outstanding in
debtedness will have been provided
for. and the School funds in your
hands will justify the same.
' ', Governor.
-, Treasurer
John Gillespie, Auditor.
When I handed it to Teehenor, I
told him lie would get no money on
that, as. when the State indebtedness
was paid, there would be no funds to
loan.
I had no knowledge of the examin
ation of titles, or the insurance busi
ness, and was not aware that Tiche
uor got the money until I saw the
notice in the Omaha paper-). I never
approved of the loan, aud as Commis
sioner it was never presented to me.
Mr. Boggs brought the Insurance lull
of $150 to me, approved by the Gov
ernor, and I refused to sign the rame
because there was "no law to pay the
same."
The laV provided for insuring pub
lic buildings, but not private build
ings, aud this was not u Slate build
ing. He then wanted me to pay one
third of the insurance. I replied I
had enough to pay off my own debts.
The difficulty of keeping the books
by the first plan of investment was
great, therefore the second plan of
loaning the School funds was adopt
ed. The Commissioners, from time
to time, passed on the loans here
given here follows all the loans pub
lished on Tuesday, except the 'Teehe
nor Loan,' whic'i the Auditor does
not consider a "loan," as he never
knew of it.
The foregoing loans were made
with the consent of the entire Board.
About this time I again wrote to Mr.
Sweet about the 19th November.
second letter to sweet.
Mr. Sweet, Nebraska City In
the preparation of bonds for the loan
of permanent school funds exercise
your best judgn e it in passing upon
real estate offered the State as securi
ty, and on property not ample or in
cumbered, or title in question, that
may be offered, reject the same, &c.
and I as one of the committee will
sustain you. John.
The only mistake the Commission
ers made was, the loans were too
large, but that could not be avoided
by the law.
The loans with the exception of the
"Tichenor loan" are all well secured.
I have not directly, or indirectly, re
ceived any money, or consideration
in money, or otherwise, for any loan
made from the School Fund nor has
any person or pessons, either directly
or indirectly, offered me any consid
eration. Neither was I aware that
any member of the Board did so re
ceive money for such loans made.
NOW FOR LYMAN FROST.
I do not kilow when the first appli
cation Was made, the first news came
to me through Sweet or Brock that
Frost wanted a loan, an application
came to me signed by Mr. Foster
the security being good, I signed the
same. The applications for money
Were numerous.
McPherson was very solicitous ;
wanted $5000; the other Commis
sioners were not favorable to his ap
plication. I, knowing his circum
stances', a'hd believing him worthy,
advised him to apply for a lessamount.
He never received anv loan from the
Stiite. The most of these loans, by
agreement of the Board, Mr. Sweet
being a conveyancer,- examined afid
passed on their securities,, and the
Board accepted his approval as suffi
cient. tichenor's stories.
Tichenor has said he never got hut
$6 000 or $7,000. ami the State officers
got the rest. Adjourned until eve
ning. JSxamimxtion resumed Went over
the Co! ."Taylor business i h'eretofoie
published) about two weeks before"
the State Convention. Sweet told me
we would have o take mortgages
for $10,000, as the Governor had used
the money, ami he was afraid the
State would lose it. Sweet was ap
plied to by Gov. Butler for a loan.
The mortgages are filed January 7th,
1H71. Thinks the mortgages arc in
the hands of Gov. Butler.
Q. How. and where did you exam
ine the mortgages that j'ou s:iy Gov
ernor Butler has?
A. I saw them in the hand of Mr.
Koenig. State Treasurer, last Friday
They arc in his hands for safe keep
ing, being brought there by the (inv
ernor, with the request that Mr.RToe
nig would explain the whole business
transaction. (In reference to sending
them down to Pawnee County, to be
recorded, and withdrawing them.&c.)
There was a transfer made of $0,000
from the "School Fund," to the
"Building Fund," temporarily, to
pay contractors for labor on State
buildings, as the sale of lots would
come off in a few days. By 'consent
of the Commissioners thip transfer
was made, and has how been return
ed. THE DAILF.Y BUSINESS.
Dailey did make an application for
$5(10. and wanted it increased to$l.(i00.
Kefered to Sweet, of Nebraska City,
and was entered on Brock's books its
"Wm. Dailey's $500, probably;" The
reason wjis that there w.-ls only $58
550 in the treasury. I stated to Dai
ley these facts ; Dailey said lie did
not want it if lie could not get $1,000,
to pay off a mortgage on his farm.
Prof. Beols was reported to have re
ceived $1,000. (probably); he never
tiled any mortgage, and I spok to
Mr. Brock about it. The matter Was
then fixed, as I understood it, and he
did get $1,150.
BROCK AGAIN.
Nelsou Brock was brought in, and
asked for time before he gave any
more evidence. Finally, heal-solute-ly
refu-ed to be sworn, and said "he
wanted to consult and attorney."
This was refused by the committee.
He said he would testify to-morrow
at 4 o'clock. The committee finally
let him go until they could lay the
matter before the Senate, but inform
ed Mr. B. that he would probably be
sent for the next day by an officer.
Jiobrt D. Silver, Sworn Is 28 years
old ; resides at Lincoln, and by occu
pation a builder; knows A. C Tiche
nor; knew of the loan; was tend by
richenor that he got $10,000 by giving
$1,000 to N.C. Brock, and $1,000 to
Gov. Butler. Before this, he (Ticho
nor) had published a letter with my
nahle to it as one of the managers in
his (Jift Enterprise. In Novcrnber I
nuhlished a letter declining to have
f auvthing further to do with it.
Tichenor came to see me', and asked
me if tl e Governor was not at the
bottom of these parties all withdraw
ing from his scheme. It was durirg
this conversation he told me about
the Tichenor loan. Adjourned until
to-morrow.
The conduct of Mr. Brook, In refus
ing to testify, is condemned, and
many area of the opinion th.at he
ought to' have been arrested for con
tempt when he told Hascall it was
VOL. 15.-N0. IT,
noneof his-busiuess, to inquire into
his (Brock's) private affairs.
Deputy Treasurer Brock having
refused to answer some of the ques
tions put' by the Senate Committee
was arrested by order ofthe Senate on
Wednesday, and kept in the custody
ofthe Serge-nt-of-arms for some time.
On the assembling of the Committee
he was brought in atid testified as fol
lows concerning the Frost and other
hums :
Lyman Frost owed Sweet & Brock
54,000 when he came to me for the
loan. When the Governor was ap
plied to he said he Was afiaid of a fuss,
as S. ct B. had. A great many appli
cations for money were made in the
fall of 1870. Jaines Sweet & Brock
applied for $15,000 for five years, in
three amounts of S5,t)00f each, secured
by three mortgages ot $5,000 each.
The order was signed hy all the mem
bers (i. e, Sweet himself one) ordering
Use loan. A great many parties com
plained that they could not. get any
ofthe money, fhe mortgages were
not recorded.
Q. Were the mortgages put in the
State Treasury?
A. They were in our hands as
James Sweet & Brock.
(I. Were these mortgages in their
hands as bankers?
A. I can only say they were in the
hands of Sweet & Brock. I told them
we had made out our mortgages to
the State. Mr. Frost came to me for
money, hut previously I had told
Walsh & Putnam they could huve
some, as we had $15,000, and did not
want so much. If they did not take
it, another would. Tney did not. I
sent word to Frost, and told him that
if he could get an order from theGov
ernorand Auditor he could have the
money, provided he would pay us
what he owed us ; but it would cost
him 14 or 15 per cent. Wre had exe
cuted our mortgage, and it cost us 10
percent. He now Was paying uh 24
per cent., and he had better take
some of the money and pay us diller
ence about $l,5i)0. I told him to call
it $1,1.0 , aud I would make out his
papers and get him a loan.
Q. What was done witli the $15,
000 mortgages? are they now in exist
ence? A. They are in the possession of
Jas. Sweet & Brock, with the names
cut out. The Frost transaction was
about December 1,1870; cannot say
about cancellation or the insurance
on the Tichenor House ; paid some
money back to Tichenor.
Q. Will yoinsay upon your oath
that Governor Butler did not receive
any bonus on the Tichenor loan?
A. I believe i.e got $1,000.
Q. State your reasons?
Frofii conversations with manv per
sons, and Hie Governor. "Tichenor
aud others. I spoke to Butler; he
smiled, aud said it was all right; said
Ticliehor was a rascal, and would
complicate :iny man that had deal
ings with him. From jokes that pass
ed between the Governor and my
self I am satisfied he got at least $1,
0:)0. Since theirI have been in his
office, and lie told me, "I-or God's
sake don't admit you received any
money on the Tichenor loan." 1
have no reason that T can back up.
that any other person got any money
from this loan.
THEBEALS BUSINESS.
The Governor and Beals gave a
joint note for the money. I told the
Governor that he would have to pay
the note of Beals, unless he got Beats
a loan ; I told him we were secure,
and it was his "fix up." TFor the
$17,000 Brock referred the Committee
to his oriner report, now before the
House As JamcS Sweet & Brock,
Levi Snell paid us the same as Frost
did. $700. J. M. Young paid u8 $100.
Tin se are all from whom we received
anything.
The Committee then adjourned.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY.

Xo Content lu the Third Ohio Di-'
trtct.
(From the Dnyton Journal, 25th nit.
At a meeting of the Republican Ex
ecutive Committee last night, it was
decided, after conference with active
and thoughtful members of the party
to. discontinue proceedings in tho
Third District Congressional election
case. The Committee were led to
this conclusion by the appointment
of Gen. Pchenck to the British mis
sion, and by the fact that the passage
of the bill leceding the jurisdiction of.
the Soldiers' Home to the State of
Ohio will accomplish the main object
of the party iti making the contest..
Gen. Sclicnek hi nisei t declined Horn
the beginning to make any contest'
for any other purpose than to vindi
cate the right of the veterans to vote,
and we feel at liberty to publish that
lie declared that If Col. Campbell
should be ousted by n vote of the
Hoiit-e, and the seat was awarded to
him, he would promptly resign it.
His language upon the subject ofthe
contest, when the subject was first
broached was prompt, etnphhtio and
decisive. The Committee, after can-
vassing the subject fully, but without.,
consulting Gen.Schenck, unanimous
ly, as we understand concluded to
drop the matter. So that L. D.
Campbell will represent the Third
District in the Fortv-Second Con
gress. The Ninth Cenana.

It seems that Andrew Johnson has
undergone anot her "change of heait"
since his retirement to his home in
Tennessee, fhe chief motive being his
failure to obtain office at the hands of
the Democracy. The editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, writing from
Washington says: "A gentleman is"
here who had an interview with An
drew Johnson a ffv days ago. He
stopped at Greenville, :ind was called
upon ly Johnson. Since his fall this
man had not spoken to the ex-l'iesi-ilent,
but the latter having called he
treated him respectfully. He says
Johnson is greatly distressed in mind.
He lias been cut by the rebels on all
bands, and In does not hesitate to de
nounce the Democratic party of tho
South as a party of traitors. My in
formant says that Johnson would
gladly get back into the Republican
party if he could see any way through
which he could pass." We have seen
statements similar to this before, but
scarcely as specific in detail. It would
seem that Johnson is controlled chief
ly, in his political associations, by tho
readiness of the one party or the oth
er to compliment him with its admir
ation and with office. Having failed
to receive the support from the De
mocracy for which lie bid when lie
betrayed the Keptiqlican party, he ap
parently t-tamls ready to again re
pudiate Democracy. I?ut Iteptfbll
caiis will scarcely be deceived by ii
second pretended conversion, ami so
he will probably he permitted to-ipend
the remainder of his days in merited
obscurity, distrusted, despised by
both parties. Quincy M'iiy.

and
with the sole object of selecting the
best possible location lor the colony.
On their return they will rejiort the
result of their observations to the Ex
ecutive Committee, with whom rests
the final decision, and who, when
that ia made, will take immediate
measures for the purchase of the ter
ritor3' chosen, and for the settlement
ofthe colonists upon it. Mr. Wm.
Holly, ofthe firm or W. A. Butters
Co.t also accompanied the committee,
from whom we expect a series of in
teresting letters in relation to the re
sources of Colorado, which will bo
published in the Chicago Journal of
Commerce.
Lee's Record.
The Independent contains some
statements in reference to the career
of the rebel General Lee that are nofc
generally known. It appears that in
March, !S62, three weeks after the
inauguration, Mr. Lincoln nominated
Lee ns Colonel of Cavalry. The Mili
tary Committee, of which Senator
WflsoS, of Massachusetts, was Chair
man, reported favorably upon the
nomination, and on the day follow
ing, a Republican Senate confirmed it"
without a dissenting vote, and on tho
24thof March, 1SBI, less than four
weeks before he tendered his resigmi
tion. ho accepted and took tliti pre
scribed oath to support tho govern-
Iment. A Ise. that Lee was in a eon-
.fidential eon-uiltalion with the Presi
dent on the very day when the fiist
call for troops was made. On the 20th
of April he resigned his commission,
and two days afterwards offered his
services to the rebels, and that up to
the hour of his resignation he gave
no indicjitjon of his meditated treaeh--ery.
History will establish the color
of auch a record.
