Has Morton dune this thing for, a spe

without consulting Morion. We doubt
not Johnson will wep again when he
reads the following item from the same
article in the Herald.
When the President said his policy
would be to appoint Nebratka men to
Nebraska other's, we applauded the
deciaraiiou as right and just in itself,
and regret that any departure should
be made from a policy that commends
itself to the judgemeut of all, by the
appointment of a Kansas man Superin

We call for a rect'Sideration. We
sy to Andrew Johnson thai Nebraska
has men of her own to fill this vacancy.
The apooin'ment belongs to the Ter
ritory, of right.
It would appear from the above that
Andrew has teen breaking more
"pledges." Did you suppose, gentle
men, that he would prove true to you
after having betrayed as noble a set of
men as those who defended and saved
our flajj from disgrace?
;CLL1-S ACCEPTAXfE.
Here ia Horace (ireely's letter of
acceptance of the nomination for Con
gress conferred upon him by the Re
publican convention of the fourth dis
trict of New Vork :
New Vubk, Oct. 21, 1SGG.
Gentlkmex : I heiirtily accept the
nomination you have tendered me.
I came mm this district while yet a
minor, more than thirty five years ago,
and have been nt work in l ever
since. I have been a Kgal voter and
have voted 111 nearly or quite every
one of the Wards which compose it.
My lgal residence is now in an nd-
joining county; but whatever property
1 have was earnr-u 111 this district, and
here most of it r mains. So long as
I fhall be able to follow my calling, 1
shrill doubtless follow it here. There
being no obstacles in law or reason,
10 my serving the district in Congress,
should I be chosen bv it, 1 am sure thai,
the very large proportion of its electors
who will voie against me, will do so
for some reason to ihem far more co
gem and call-factory than that found
ed on the location of my dweliin?.
(jentlemen, you can hardly have
hoped for my election, and know that
I did not covet your nomination. I
thank you however, as heartily as
though the district v ere not overwhelm
ingly adverse to us, and ' shall be as
much obliged to our fellow citizens
who may support me as though their
voles would jutFice'to elect me.
Yours,

STIlLX'Ei. COAL..
The Leavenworth Coal Company
has at last been rewarded for their per
sistent labors. The Times says :
"Coal has at length been found in
the hole drilled on the Government re
serve. The vein was struck "about 9
o'clock on .Thursday night, at a depth
5S0 feet. At first it was supposed to
be nothing but slate, but after going
through the vein, which is three feet
thick, the drill was w ithdrawn and the
cuppings pumped up, when it proved to
be the real article, clean and clear, of
a very fine quality and superior in all
respects to-the Lexington coal.
We were shown a specimen of it 1
last evening, and safel) say, so far as
appearances indicate, 11 is not excelled
if equalled by any coal yet discovered
west of the Missssippi. In fact it nas
more the appearance of Anthracite,
being very bard and showing a clear
moo;h cleavage. Last nishl the drill
bad struck the sand stone bed., under
which, it is believed, a vein of coal six
feet thick will be found. The thick
ness of the sand-stone bed, of course.
is a matter of conjecture, but from pre-
ceeding indication, and the data of
Prof. Swallow s survey, it is sup
posed to be not more than ten or fifteen
feet. Of course the company who have
prosecuted the work uuder so many
disadvantages, and in spue of all proph
ecies of the wise oocs, feel highly
elated at the success of their undenak
ing; and it is the feeling shared iu by
our citizens generally." '
ESF"The name of George Robinson,
of Maine, the soldier who saved the
life of Mr. Seward on the night of
the assassination of President Liocoln,
appears among the list of Vice Prei.
dents of the Pittsburg Convention.

lowship with the men who, a year and
a half ago, sought bis life.

Read in the light of the recent fall

Among ihe first bills introduced into
Johnson's "reconstructed"' Texas Leg
islature was one to establish common
schools, in which was a proviso that no
Yankee should ever be' employed as a
teacher therein. This was followed
by the offer of a joint resolution to re
move the dead soldiers of' the United
States Army from the Texas State
Cemetery The hyena who offered
this proposition, Senator Forscue, en
forced it with the uttrance that "the
vile dust of these' mercenaries is- un
worthy lo mingle with that of the 'dis
tinguished heroes and statesmen of the
Lone Star State. The State Cemetery
should not be polluted by the entrance
into its sacred precincts of such trash

visit to this city is understood 10 ' have
been for the purpose, 111 the capacity
of a private citizen, solicitous of pre
serving the peace; 10 make 10 the Pa
Jice Commissioners of Baltimore, at the
instance of Gov. Swann, the following
propositions:
First That each set of Commission
ers cause separatH pulls to be opened
in the several eleeiiuu .districts and re
ceive such votes as may be called legal
by their jud ges of election aud have
these votes' classified and sent to the
State -Legislature and 10 Congress.
Tht? Police Commissioners reipect
fully declined to entertain thia prooo
sition, as' 11 would be contrary to the
election laws of ihe Stale and that by
accepting they would be guilty of
worse malfeasance than any that had
been charged against them. ,Tnai, 41
was their purpose to conduct the elec-
lioa strictly . in accordance with the
provisions of the law and Constitution
of the Stale and that it was not in their
power to make any . agreement thai
cui-fiicu with the law.
fhe next ' proposition was sub'stun-
tia'ly as follows :
That the oM Commissioners appoint
one Conservative judge of the three, to
be appointed at each poll, and these
three to receive the votes of those who
are found to be upon the several regis
ters and that' two "sets of boxes be
used; in one of which are to be depos
ited the votes accepted and iu the other
the voles rejected. The first pari of
the proportion was simply in accord
once with the pledge made by, Mr.
Alexander before Gov. Swann while
the charges against the Commission
ers was being investigated. It was
made then as a concession by the party
in power to the conservatives to pre
serve peace, and the Commissioner
having announced officially in the
morning papers that they would appoint
one judge and one clerk in each precinct
from the conservative party. There
was, of course, no object ion.
Ihe remainder of it being fully cov
ered -by the provisions of the law and
of course the portion of the proposW
tion.
Fortress Monroe, Nov. 3 The

in removing a 11 surveillance over him

effect have been sent from Washington
to General Burton, ccwnm indent of the

Chicago, Nov. 4. The Baltimore
Police' Commissionsr's ' imbrog lio took
an ; unexpected shape yesterday, the
old board refusing to surrender their
authority, and the arresting of the new
board with the sheriff" of the cpuuty,
and lodging them in jail. The city
remained remarkably quiet though
thousands of persorjs crowded-about
headquarters and ihex mewspaper offic
es to hear and discuss the news. The
old Police Board have . enrolled about
fout hundred special men, and among
ihem some of the most prominent ciii
aens, and are determined lhat ihe neiv
Commissioners shall not take office
until after the decision uf the Supreme
Court, which delay will prevent their
assuming the -office unuj after the
election, thereby defeating the plans of ,
the Conservatives. , .
