I arrived in this city on Saturday at 2 p. m.; found the Court of Tmpeach ' ment listening to the reading of the replication of John Gillespie, the . further consideration of which they postponed one week, and fchdu resinn ed the examination of their first wit ness in the imp,eachme.nt of the Gov ernor.

T'ho is suing and the payment of the Chase warrants, and the subsequent return of the $1,000 Jo tho Treasury and the deposit of the S1G.8S1 in the Lank of .lames Sweet & Brock, in Lincoln. All that he knew of the Chase war- . ianis was mat tne Governor came to J Nebraska City with two warrants of one thousand dollars each, and eaid he wanted these warrants cashed as Chase wanted his salary piid as At torney General for the State, and he, the Governor, wanted to take it up to him. He, the Governor, got the money, ana m about one year after ward the Governor returned one thousand dollars to the Treasury say ing tnat Chase would not take but $1,000 nnd perhaps would make him trouble for issuing $2,000 unless he re turned it. The witness knew noth ing about the deposit of the 5 per cent, fund collected from tho United States until nearly a year after it was Jeftin the bank, and'is of the opinion ili-l it was never in tho State Treas ury. He admits that Brock was sent to Omaha for it by the Governor ; ad mits that Brock was Deputy State Treasurer; admits that the money was deposited in the bank- admits that the Governor requested him to draw a mortgage on lands in Pawnee county to secure the payment of the , -five per eeni. monies-into the Treas ury of tho State ; admits that he told the.State Central Committee last sum- - "mer that the five per cent, school Tmoriies were properly loaned to the Governor and that the same was all eifeand rightjadmite that he re-; 'ported to the State Superintendent that he had collected $1,400 asthe-first year's interest on said loan, but af firms that he told tho Central Com mittee what was not true, and that he made a false report to the State Super intendent in relation to the collection of the interest on said loan, and bays that he said and reported what he did to save the Governor, upon the Gov- crnor's promises that he would make the matter so as to save him from trouble and harm, which he failed to do.

Thev examined Xelson C. Brock, John Gilllspie, C. S. Chase, Thomas F. Hall, C. C. Crvwcll, Seth Itobin t,on, Wm. F. Goodwell, Col. Cropsey and T. P. Kennard. Brock .says he brought the S1G.SS1 from Omaha in May 1SG9, gave Gov. Butler -three checks for five thousand dollars each, and gave him credit on the bank books for the balance. That' Gov. Butler in September 1S70 overdrew his bank account some fifteen thous and dollars, to ballance hich he de posited the above three mentioned certificates and at the Mine time told Brock he wanted to give a mortgage on Pawnee lands to secure the Vnoney to the StatCj wihch he afterwards did do. Brock says he ofl'ered the Gov ernor first five hundred, and then afterwards boven hundred and fifty dollars if the Governor would tecure for him the office of the Board of Re- ireuts. He thoiieht the Governor would secure it for him, but the Gov ernor did not say he would, nor did not say he would take his money if he did. Brock thinks the Tichenor loan of $10,000 good and safe, and gave Tichenor the money on tho or der of the Governor and the Auditor. Brock 5-ud to the Governor "I did not know you received ,any money for making the TichenoT'loftn." The Governor did not tell Brock whether he did, or did not, but told Brock not to admit that Tichenor ever gave him (Brock) any ruoncy for Tichenor would betray any one who dealt with him. Mr. Brock said in 1S60 they depositefhaW'State money in the name of John Rex so as to evade the provisions of tho law, which required the Treasurer to keep the iudentical funds on hand. .'Auditor Gillispie swore that he thought the building commissioners did pay Ward for building the Luna tic Asylum faster than the work pro gressed, but did not pay him more than tho contract price. That the commissioners paid for said Asjdam $137,355, when the Legislature dis appropriated $50,000. That they paid for the University building $152,000, when the appropriation was only $100,000. That he thought the lands patented by the Governor to the Sioux City & Pacific rail road was un just to the other rail roads of the State, and he could not, and did not approve of if. That Governor Butler filed two vouchers for Attorney rGen eral Chase's salery for 1SG7 ami 1SGS at -$1,000 each year, a'nVl that he, Gil lispie, drew and handed to the Gov ernor two warrants on the Statu Treasury for $1,000 tkich, in Apiil 10G0. That afterwards tho Governor returned $1,0U0, saying that ,he was not going to allow Mr. Chase &o much money. C. Sv Chase was sworn, .and said that he wab, employed, by the Go-ern-or as Atlotney for the State from Au gust 1S67 to April 1S69. In a conver sation with the Governor alout his; salary it was settled that ho should receive the same salary as the Legis- ture, then in session, should provide for that office which they are about -creating. The Legislature fixed the amount at $1,000 a year. He authori sed Governor Butler when the salary should become fixed, to file his vouch er, sign his name thereto, draw the warrants, and money and bring the same to him in Omaha. When he started to Washington in April, the Governor came to Omaha, and said to Chase, that he would pay him $1, 000 and was short of means-' and Would like tp keep tho balance- until his return from Washington, and Chase replied all right. Chase after wards received by approval of the Governor, $4So,lfl in full for the amount due as Attorney General of the State. Thos. F. Hall was sworn and said that he wanted to lease some of the Saline lands and the Governor -said he could have if. He selected what he wanted and told the Governor if he could get it he would double the royalty. The Governor said he did not want the royalty, but wanted $5,- 000-for the lease. He did i.ot know what the Governor wanted to. do with the $5,000. C. B. Crowell was sworn and testi fied that he was present when the Governor and Hall had theabove con versation and that the same was as stated above: On cross examination he admitted that the Governor said that in order to induce the Jinking of an artesian well at the salt works he had to become responsible for one fourth of the cost and that ho wanted this $5,000 as a fund to meet' his re- sponsibiJityonthGpart.of,tho State.

To prevent the choice of a Democratic President may be possible, but our efforts must go deeper than that, ue must teach the people that if evei secession raise its head again, encouraged by a rebel Piesident, wo will give rebellion . no ruler but the sword, until every, now living, white man is in his grave. Railroad Consolidations. Indianapolis, March IS. It is reported here that the Indian anolis and St. Louis Railroad has nassed entirely under the control of the Pennsylvania Central, with Thos. A. Scott as President. There was a bitter1 con test between the New York Central and Pennsylvania Central for possession of the road, but the latter having the most stock won. It is generally understood that the New York Central, Hudson, Lake Shore, Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi, Cleveland and Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis railroads, and the Western Union Telegraph are now under the control and manipulation of a powerful clicme, that represents vast wealth, and its members rely up on their former prestige to success fully cope with the other combina tions working for a decline, and com ,pel them to capitulate. This clique is undertaking to carry and control the Shocks of companies whose united capital exceeds $200,000,000, and any money disturbance of a lasting na ture would precipitate a catastrophe which could not be abated, and Wall street would be strewn with wrecks of magnificent ventures.
