H., com menced on last Monday at 8 a. in., and was completed throughout the entire line, a distance of 340 miles, in seven hours. This change is worthy of ranking among the great railroad feats of the country. On the whole lino there was a force of 2,720 men employed. Of these 3o0 were from other roads centering at St. Louis, and SO were from Springfield and the fcouthern part of Illinois. Each man received twenty-live cents for each Hour he worked on the road. The actual work of changing the gauge, without including reduction of rolling Ktockto suit it or purchases of narrow gauge stock, amounts to about $25,000.

"We are in receipt of a letter from Peru, which, although anouymous, we feel disposed to answer. The let ter reads thus : "Your paper pleases mo. The first one fascinated me and. its successors have caused me to fall dead in love with you. But upon one subject you are non-committal, viz. tho Presiden cy. "Will you please ventilate your views on this subject. Are you in fa vor of the re-nomination of Grant? If so, what argument have you to ad van coin favor of duplicating Presi dential terras? Fkiend. When a man (for from theehirogra phy we feel assured it is not a wo man), confesses having fallen in love with us, we break over established usages, and take cognizance of anony mous productions. Gen. Grant is not our first choice for the Presidency. Had we the nominating power we would present Schuyler Colfax as tho Republican nominee. But that gentleman has peremptorily declined such honor, and Grant is our second choice. Let us give a few reasons which ac tuate us in our choice. One point of attack considered as J vulnerable by Grant's opponents, is his San Domingo policy. A Democratic paper before us observes- the fact that the President's position in the regard and love of his country has evidently riben since his loyal deference to the general will in the matter of San Do mingo, and adds, with something like a sneer, that nothing could show more clearly how easily Presidential reputations are won. We ask no bet ter illustration than this sneer gives us of the loyalty of the President to the Constitntion of his country, and the distinction between that Consti tution and the written traditions by which most countries are governed It gave to the President the duty of carrying out the will of the country as ascertained in certain fixed meth ods. It did not give him, either as privilege or duty, the power of carrying out his own will if it happened to traverse that of his country thus as certained. Nobody pretends that tho will of th&- country, or Gen. Grant's undivided will, would exhibit the absolute right on any subject. But the Constitution supposes that if the will of the country bo carried out in the direction indicated by cer tain persons chosen to represent it such an amount of good understand ing and a certainty of internal peace, and such strength of movement will be secured as are more than sufficient to repay us for the occasional losses which we may sutler from missing that absolute or theoretical right way at which the ideal virtuous despot is supposed to aim. The country has had no lack of Presidents, who, with much talk about deference to tho will of the country, really cared much nioreforo coterie of oliice holders or contractors, or of the managers of a particular par ty. It Is true that when Gen. Grant, who lias achieved military renown the woild over, compared with which Gen. Jackson's fame is as nothing, who established him in power, a Pres ident is more likely Ip- aspire- to the rendering mch satisfaction when the power of such endorsement lies with the people, than when certain retire ment follows upon the close of hisfirst term-. fesj stock coiuciira PMK.

The striking engineers nt Newcastle-upon-Tyne refuse to make any concession of their demands; The Democratic papers complain loudly of President Grant for his fre quent exhibitions of executive clem ency. They are exceedingly indis " creet. Thoro is no knowing how soon they may bo compelled to seek executive clemency for themselves.

It Is reported that n deputation .of German, Dutch and Austrian bank ers have sailed for this country to in vestigate the condition and prospects of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Col. Wm. A.

Jaekson's theo ry of defiant, autocratic or imperial rule, there was a sentiment of pro found satisfaction among men who think of the basis of our civil order. His reputation and his place in the regard and esteem of the American people were secured as they had been secured by no victory In arms. In one of his perorations Mr. Sumner reminded the President that he who ruled his own spirit is greater than he who captures a city. The Presi dent has shown that he did not need that lesson. "When we chose Gen. Grant for our President he promised that he would fulfil the duties of the office as well as he could. To our party as a party, ho made no special pledge beyond what was implied in his ac ceptance of the nomination. "We had no other candidate to bring forward. After the base treachery of Andv Johnson the Republican party was not so well assured of its position be fore the country that it could elect any man it brought forward; nor was it in a condition- to pin him down with terms of promises of ad ministration, had he been a man to give pledges to anybody who asked for them. The party took him up because it UU.U. cuiuiueuco in mm. no was in no way pledged to its organized meth ods. It was understood he had not acted with it before' the war. It chose him with its eyes open, and his administration began. He chose his Cabinet from among business men rather than politicians, wisely or un wisely in some cases, to cur view, unwisely but he has been the great est sufferer from unwise choice. He had to bear the obloquy which others ought to have borne, and shouldered blunders which never should have been made. But all the blunders and au tne obloquy have never made the President waver in his loyalty to the great party which chose him, nor to the will of the country he undertook to servo. There is no savor"bY. Johu sonism or Tylerism in his proceed ings. He represents, at this mo ment, the mo$i advanced Republicans, by urging tho policy of nation ality and the policy of equal rights, which are the two great "cardinal Lprinciplcs for which the party exists at all. But we cannot go further to-day. Suffice it to say, the party hasgaiued more at his hands than it had any rea son to expect, and we doubt if nnj' one can be feund who will better carry out the true policy of tho great Republi can party than our gallant General and honored President, Ulysses S. Grant. His nomination is contin gent only on his living another year, and his election only tn his living until November, 1872. The only argument we have in fa vor of "duplicating Presidential terms" is, first, on the old principle "when you havo a good thing keep it," and second, that as tho second term is only allowable when com- R. W. Furnas, of this place, recently purchased the fine two year old thorough bred Short Horn Bullr "Consul" (American Herd Book 7750) Consul was bred by W. R.

John Blacklaw, also, of this county, long known for his devotion to rais ing fine cattle and hogs, will be on hand with his Short Horns aud Yorkshires. Ralph Anderson, the Short norn breeder of Richardson County, has been making some "valuable additions to his herd preparatory for the next State Fair. He also has some fine Yorkshire hogs. J. M.

The above are a few of the many preparations we know are being made for the coming Slate Fair at this place in September ncxf.

Newman denounced as a canard the letter signed by his name, urging the rc-eleciion of Senator Harlan on religious grounds re-iterated the charge of writing such letter, while silent as to denial. Such a spirit ofl vindictiveness would be eminently characteristic in a Democratic iourr.al. but it is entirely out of place in the columnsof a Republican paper. If it is right to "give the devil his due," why not to render justice to Rev. Newman ? Brownville gathers Honor lu Ohio.

The consequence was a sympathetic &reeM:i& by r. house full of people, ;nany of whom listened to the lecture at the alnmnre entertainment, and who desired still, further to acquaint themselves vltli a production so felicitous both in style aid inatter.and wlth all so original and btrlKing jn most of its features.

Immigration. The State Boaid has just closed an exciting session in Omaha. We clip ths following eitract of proceedings from tho Tribune and Republican. "The Superintendent was directed to call iu all English pamjulcts that are not dis tributed, to add thereto a few pages as pre pared by the Kecretiry, concerning life new er parts of thoStntf, north and west; tore place the present! poor covers with good ones; and to insert a complete jniip 01 the entile St.te histeai of the railroad maps.

The Superintendent was directed to pub lish a four papeclroular, 100,000 copies, in the English, fJerman, Swedish, Dauisti and Bo- iiounan languages. The nomination of J. C Campbell of .West Point, and J. V. Skilcs of Anielope, was in definitely postponed. THE TROUBLES OP THE EliESIDEST. FIRST .--- Jeff. Davis is out in a card denying his connection with the contretemps on the sleeping car, published In our last issue, but the sleeping car con ductor and porter and the regular train conductor insists upon the truth of the matter and Jell's guilt and gives the name of the woman and what is more, bribes have been offered them to "dry up" on the sub ject, failing in which they havo been discharged. The facts are more than circumstantial they are positive aud damning. Yet this old traitor, black guard and hoary-headed libertine, the Omaha Herald denominates "one of the purest men living." The Chicago Republican expresses fear that Senator John A. Logan did not experience a change of heart when he joined the Methodist Church, else he has fallen from grace. The other day John was asked how Grant would run iu 1S72. "Run," said he, "ho'd run like hell with a tin ket tle tied to his tail." Tho Republican says that a true Methodist would havo replied, "Grant would fly like a frightened canine with a tin utensil attached to his caudal appendage." We suppose Logan was in too much of a hury to pick hiswords. A man named Jacob Touenars died at Kansas City, Mo., on the loth intt., who was said to bo 134 years old. In 1S14 he was refused the privilege of enlistment at New Orleans, because he was too old. lie was very solicit ous to see a locomotive, and'when the first one entered Kansas City he went with a lady friend to see it. After closely scrutinizing it, and seeing it depart bearing behind it a heavy train of cars, he expressed much satisfac tion, and remarked, "Now I can tell God I havo seen a railroad." From the Cincinnati Commercial. That the Presidential chair is no bed of roses has been proved by the experience of all American Presidents, from the first to the last. The oppo sition to Washington's administra tion, which was early developed, and which finally reached a degree of ran cor almost incredible to the sentiment of modern times, was strongest in his second term. Although closely con nected with the management of our foreign relations, and mixed up with the Anglophobia of the Republicans, and the anti-Gallicau prejudice of the Federalists (Washington being re garded as the friend of England at the expense of France) it extended to tho President's private habits, choice of officers, style of address, manage ment of salary, excursions from the seat of government, &c. In the Philadelphia General Adver tiser of February 21, 1794, .the day bo- fore Washington's Birthday), the Governor of Pennsylvania having re quested tho militia to turn out on the occasion, in honor of tho President, there appeared the following remon strance: "Does it make a part of our militia system that the militia shall, on a certain day, bo converted into a prcc toria7i band, to oiler up incense of ad ulation to the first servant of the peo ple ?It is to be hoped that tho mili tia will spurn at tho call to form a liveried band for any man upon earth, how great soever his merits may have been." The same paper, In au editorial par agraph on the 22d of February, sneers at the meeting of the Cincinnati "to congratulate the President on his be ing a year older," aud adds : "It cer tainly corresponds with the views of the self-created noblemen of our. coun try to keep up a full measure of con sequence." A week later it censured the managers of the Philadelphia Theatro for causing the "President's March" to be played, a "mimicry of British customs." WThen Chief Justice Jay was nom inated by Washington, as envoy to Great Britain to negotiate a treaty, the President was denounced as hav ing nullified the Constitution. "What becomes of tho constitutional check on the Executive by impeachment," wrote Mr Bache, in the Philadelphia Advertiser, "if that Executive can re move a Chief Justice, one of the offi cers essential to that check, three thousand miles beyond seas?" The same editor thus animadverted upon Washington's method of enter ing tho theatro : "Who would, believe it, tho Presi dent of the United States condescends to be the humble- imitator of a Brit ish crown-bearer, even in his man ner of entering the theatre. He does not use, in common with his fellow citizens, tho front passago to the box es, but is introduced through a back door, and lighted to his seat along the scones by attendants stationed for the express purpose." The Democratic Society of Penn sylvania in May, 1794, passed resolu tions denouncing the appointment of Chief Justice Jay by Washington as "contrary to the spirit and meaning of tho Constitution ; as it unites in the same person judicial and legisla tive functions, tends to make him de pendent upon the President, and de stroys the check by impeachment up on the Executive." , The compensation received by Washington, as President, though fixed at $25,000 by the first Congre.-s, did not pass without much opposi tion, and became for years after a fruitful theme of objection and at tack by a portion of the press. Mr. Bache, of the Philadelphia Advertis er, f which afterwards became the Au rora,) thus censured the extravagance of salaries : "The attention of the public has been called to the subject of high sal aries; most of them as Uiey now stand are certainly enormous, and public offices have become what they never should be in a Republic, planus of profit. Tho servants of tho peo ple do not receive wages that they may be able to entertain one another with splendor, but merely to support themselves and families while in pub lic service. Public salaries should be such as to support the put lie officers as well and no belter than the mid dling class of their constituents." The salary of tho President is else where complained of as "five times larger than that of any cilizon of the Union." Aud Mr. J. T. Callender, writing in John Adams' time, to op pose tho building of a President's house, on the ground that (he Presi dent could better aflbrd to pay his rent than any other public officer, us ed this language respecting Washing ton's drawing his salary irqm u;e Treasury prematurely : "Some years ago the lato President was attacked in the newspapers for constantly uplifting his salary before it became due. Mr. Hamilton im mediately printed a reply that filled nine columns of the Philadelphia Qazeltc. Even the very worst which could bo alleged of Mr. Washington amounted only to this practice being self upon the world, and wascredited for a while, by enemies a3 by friends, for prudence, moderation and impar tiality. It is laughable to hear Mr. Washington talk of his sympathetic feelii-gs, who has always been re marked, even Among his friends, for not having any." The fame of Washington asa mili tary leader and the "savior of his country" is thus scornfully disposed 01 by 'l nomas Pame: L "As to the pompo'us enconiums he so liberally pays to himself on the score of the American revolution, the reality of them may be questioned, and since he has forced them so much into notice it is fair to examine his pretentions. "A stranger might bo led to suppose, from tho egotism with which Mr. Washington speaks, that himself, and himself onjy, had generated, con ducted, completed and established the Revolution in fine, that it was all his own doing. ikIn the first place, as to the politi cal part, he had no share in it: and, therefore, tho whole of that is out of the question with respect to- him. There remains, then, only the milita ry part, and it would have been pru dent in Mr. Washington not to have awakened inquiry upon that subject. Fame then was cheap ; he enjoyed it cheaply ; no one was disposed to take away the laurels that, whether they were acquired or not, had been given. "Mr. Washington had the nomin al rank of Commander-in-Chief, but he was not so in fact. Ho had in re alitv only a separate command. He had no control over or direction of tlfo army to tho northwest, under Gates, that captured Burgoyne; nor of that of the south, under Green, that recovered the Southern States. The noihiual rank, however, of Commander-in-Chief served to throw up on him the luster of those actions, and to make him appear as tho soul aud centre of all military operations in America. "He commenced his command in June, 1775, during the time the Mass achusetts army lay before Boston, and after the affair of Bunker Hill. The commencement of his command was the commencement of inactivity. Nothing Avas afterward done, or at tempted to be done, dnriug the nine months he remained before Boston. If we may judge from the resistance made at Concord, and afterward at Hunker Hill, there Was a spirit of enterprise at that time, which the presence of Mr. Washington chilled into ccld defense. By the advantage of a good exterior, he attracts respect, which his habitual silence tencfe to preserve: but he has not the talent of inspiring ardor in an army. "No wonder that we sc"e so much pusillanimity in the President when we see so little enterprise in the Gen eral. "The campaign of 1777 became fa mous, not by nnything on the part of Generla AVashington, nut by the cap ture of General Burgoyc and the army under his command by the Northern army at Saratoga, under General Gates. So totally distinct and un- connected were the two armies of Washington and Gates, nnd so inde pendent was the latter of the author' ity of the nominal Commander-in-Chief, that the two Generals did not so much as correspond, and it was on ly by a letter of General (since Gov ernor) Clinton that General Wash ington was informed of that event. "The capture of Burgoyne gave an eclat in Europe to the American arms, and facilitated the alliance witis France. The eclat, however, was not kept up by anything on tho part of General Washington. The Fame un fortunate languor that marked If is entrance into the field continued al ways. Discontents began to prevail strongly against him, and a party wa.v formed in Congress, whilst fitting at lorktown in Pennsylvania, tor re moving him from the command of the army "Nothing was done in the cam paigns of 1773, 1779, 17S0, in the part where General Washington com manded, except the taking of Stony Point by General Wayne. The South ern States in the meantime were over run by the enemy. Thoy were after ward recovered by General Greene, who had, In a very great measure. created the army that accomplished that recovery. In all this General Washington hnd no share. The Fa bian sj'stem'of war, followed by him, began now to unfold itselt with all its evils, for what is Fabian war without Fabian means to support it?" This extraordinary diatribe con cludes in the following words : tlIf there is sense enough left in tho heart to call a blush into the check, the Washington Administra tion must be ashamed to appear.

T ' NEW ABVERTISLMi: ST. LOUIS LAWSCH! r o a We direct especial attention to the articlo in to-day's Ativeiitiseb, head ed "Tho Troubles of the First Piesi dent." Its perusal will open the eyes of the ordinary reader to the fact that although education has led us to hold Washington iu such high reverence as to entertain tho belief that during tho Revolution and the days of his of ficial life, he was first in the hearts of ail his countrymen, even ho was no exception to tho general rule. On the contrary his maligners were nu merous and unrelenting, following him, even to the grave, with maledic tion and anathemas. There is n pe culiar similarity in the charges pre ferred against Washington, and those presented against Grant the princi pal difference being in tho character of the prosecuting witnesses those against Washington being men of character, whilo those against Grant are men bankrupt in character. In the last number of the Nemaha Valley Journal, we find tho follow ing deserved complimc.nl : While in Brownville a few days since, we called at the new State Bank and had a sociable talk with Mr. Ea ton, the Cashier, and a heavy stock holder in the concern. Wo Jind the business affairs of the institution in the hands of the most responsible men of Brownville, and everything about the house looking business like. o ' e- The West Point Rcxmblican gives the following list of new counties in Nebraska : Boone, Logan, Neligh, Greely, Howard, Sherman, Valley, Taffe, Caldwell, Hitchcock, Furnas, Tipton, Kountze, Chase, Warren, ilillard, Sumner, Fairfield, Lake, Mason, Dundy, Harrison, Crounse, Creighton, liedick and Elkhoru. i 1113 o The County C8erk of Richardson county has been impeached and driv en from ofiice, and now the Commis sioners propose following suit on the County Treasurer. The manner in which the railroad tax was levied or collected is the subject of complaint. g qi. In his Mobile speech Jeff Davis de clared he would not make a "depart ure," neither would he "accept" any thing. On the sleeping car the other night ho "departed" from his own berth and "accepted" quarters in the berth of a lady, (?)Mrs. Bo wok by name. The Omaha Herald of Tuesday, denominated Jeff. Davis. a3 "one of the purest men living." We doubt not tho Herald estimates the devil as "very much of a gentleman." The people of Omaha have almost unanimously elected to issue $1D0,000 in bonds for the completion of their high school buildings. Waldo 31. Potter, Jate of the Omaha Republican, has purchased a third.in terest in the Davenport (Iowa) Ga zette, and will seat himself upon tho tirpod of said journal August 1st.

Not the least powerful among the assailants of Washington in his sec ond term was Thomas Paine, who had been neglected by the Adminis tration when in an IStiropean dun geon. In 1706 Paine published a re markable pamphlet at Philadelphia, then tho seat of government, entitled "A, Letter to George Washington, President of tho United States of xmrica, on Atlairs Public aud Pri vate." Wo cite a few passages : "Tho part I acted hi the American revolution' is well known. I shall not hero repeat it. I know, also, that had it not been for the aid received from Franco in men, money and ships, your cold and unmilitarv eon- duct (as I shall show in the course of this letter) would, in ail probability. have lost America at least she would not havo been the independent na tion she now is. You slept awavyour time in the field till the finances of the country were completely exhaust ed, and you have but little share in the glory of the final event. It is time, sir, to speak the undisguised language of historical truth. "Elevated to the chair of the Pres idency, you assumed tho merit of ev erything to yourself, and the natural ingratitude of your constitution be gan to appear. You commenced your Presidential career by encouraging anu swallowing tlie grossest adulation and you traveled America from one end to the other to put yourself in the way of receiving it." You have as many addresses in your chest a3 James II. As to what were your views for if you are not great enough to have ambition, vou nro lifMn enough to havo vanity thov mnnnk be directly inferred from expressions of your own; but tho partisans of your politics have divulged tho se cret." In another passage, after declaring that Washington's "prudence was a substitute for principle, nearly allied luuypocnsy,--ana indulging in the "In i ..i..i 1 HUUUUlCUb as to you, sir, treacherous in private triendsnip, and a iiypocrlte In public life, the world will be puzzled to de cide whether you are an apostato or an impostor; whether you havo aban doned good principles, or whether you never had 11113'." Another of Washington's detract ors was Tom Callender, an English man, who wielded a caustic pen, aud whose contributions to tha Aurora, to Frcnaii'8 Journal, and especially to the pamphlet literature of the day, were something enormous in extent. He especially delighted in depreciat ing the intellectual ability of Wash ington, and lost no occasion of twit ting him with tho fact that Alexan der Hamilton was his source of sup ply for both the ideas and the lan guage of his State papers. Speaking of Hamilton, Callender wrote : "Ho 1ms often compared his influ ence over the President to that of the wind upon a weathercock, or of that of an automaton moved only by the hand which directs it. This stvlo w:i3 both imprudent and ungrateful. That the pen of Mr. Hamilton has long affected the President is a storv current in Europe as well as in Amer ica ; and that the speeches and letters of General Washington are extreme!' different from his more early produc tions is well known." In his "History of the United States for 1790," Callender s:ys of xiamiuon : "He has often boasted of receiving letters from President Washington with the word private wrote on the back of them, and a Gross drawn over the seal. 'After opening such a par cel,' said Hamilton, 'what do you think were the contents?

Jter j maphrodite faculty that imposed it-. The italics and capitals are the au thor's.l That Washington keenly felt these attacks is apparent from numerous expressions scattered throughout his correspondence. "I shall be happy, in the mean time," he wrote to Edmund Hand olph, "to see a cessation of the abuse of public officers, and of almost every measure of government, with which some of the gazettes arc so strongly impregnated ; and which cannot fail, if persevered in with tho malignancy with which they now teem, of rend ing the Union asunder." He frequently spoko of the libels afloat in tho press as "the most dia bolical attempts to destroy the best fabric of human government," and his last days were only sweetened bv the anticipation of shortly being priv ileged to lay down the thankless bur den and give way to a les3 fortunate successor.
