Hitchcock Charged with Circu lating a Forged Letter , Pur porting to Come from Manager Perkins , of the B. & M. U ifi Said that Fiannhjan , Conflden tiai Clerk of Snppriutendent Ir > Tinff , Forged the Letter , and Sold It for a Lrgo Snm. Humors ConOorn liiK the Tr nsttotlon. A decided seneation has been ere ated in the Senatorial fight at Lin coin by the exposure of Hitchcock' ' last desperate game to bolster up hi waning political fortune. The hact pay grabber has been detected circulating a forged letter from C E ; Perkins , manager of the B. & M stating in effect that that road woul supply all necessary funds to elect United [ States Senator. Tuesda night Mr. Moore introduced tbe fo' lovrta ? resolution : WHEREAS , Charges h&vetbisda been made that a certain railroar or person connected therewith , ba baa pent a written communioatlbi offering to supply money to eecui the election of the tJnited State Senator ( rom the State of JSebraskt therefore , JBesofvsci , That a committee ( five be appointed by tbe chair to ir ve tigate the above , or any charge of corruption by the use or promif of money , or other advantage , b any person or by any railroad , c other corporation within or withot the State ; whether any corrupt c improper influences have been i any time , or are now being used t control tbe election of the Unite States Senator ; that the commute shall have power to send for person and papers. This resolution was adopted , an the Chair appointed as such con mUlee , Messrs. Moore , Anyan , Gil son , Fitch , Patrick aud Clark Yesterday's Herald's dispatcl en say : At this time a storm flccuo was being enacted in the Go\ ernor's room. Marquette was d < nomicing Hitchcock in counectio with the letter referred to in tli resolution , claiming that it was forgery. The letter purports to L from Perkins of the B. & M. , an i < to the effect that all drafts upo the Treasurer of the B. & M. , forth souatorial flght , which are draw by Briggs and Saunders , will b honored. Van Wyck entered th Governor's room and demande the letter of Hitchcock , but thelal ( er refused all infnrmatlou concern ing it. "MarqtiPtlosayK he ha a lette Horn the confidential clerk of Su porintemlent Irving' * office in Onca ha , rpreeiiUng that ho had writ ten the letter , forging Peikiu's sl7 nature , for which he receive !

" Another dispatch , dated Lincoln 10:40 Just night , pays : "It i claimed thatbupenntendent Irving of the B. & M. , has in his possessioi B letter addressed to him by Flanni can , his confidential clerk , who i ascused of forging Perkins' sigua ture to the letter referred to in th previous dispatch , and that Flanni gan slates that ho received $1,00 for writing it. The investigate committee met to-night , but ad jnurned till 9 o'clock to-morrow when testimony will be taken. I is reported that Flannigan hasgom to California , but that dispatches t < intercept him have been sen West. " A reporter of the BEE yesterda' interviewed several parties ii Omaha in regard to thi ? transaction and learned some fac's which teni to show that Hitchcock is fairl ; trapped and that Supt , Irving wa aware Monday morning of the gam that Hitchcock was going to plaj In the first place , Flannigan ba been for some time past the confi dential clerk of Superintendent It ving. He is a short hand reporfe of remarkable skill , writes an ele gant'hand , and is a well-postd man politically and otherwise. H has been boarding at the St. Chiarle notel for some time past , and i well known arnonz'the hoarder ; among whom he had several warn friends. Sunday afternoon the clerk a theSt Charles Hotel , named Sloan hired a horse and buggy at Ho man's stable , and took Flan nigan out riding , but came baa alone , since which time Flannigai has not been seen. When Flannigan left he put int the possession cf Sloan a letter an some keys , which he requested hir to give to Mr. Irving Monday more ing. Sloan left the letter and key at Mr. Irving's office , Mr. Irvin not being in at the time. Whe Mr. Irving came in. he opened tb letter of Flannigau , and was as tounded to read the confessio of Flannigan m regard to th job that had been put up b himself. Mr. Irving immediate ! went to the Ht Charles hotel an found Sloan , who admitted bavin received the letter from Flanniga to hand to him. Mr. Irving the immediately proposed that h should go to Lincoln with hire Sloan at first objected , but final ! consented , and to Lincoln the , went on a special train that ver morning. Anconc others that the BEE r porter Interviewed yesterday ws a young mechanic , a boarder t the hotel , and who was a chum < Flannigan. This man says be wee around town Saturday nicht wit ! Flannitrnn , who was feeling prel ty oed , and that Flanniga : intimated that lie bad iijado A bl and stated that he had just been to Hitchcock's place , which meant either the republican office or his house. Fiannigan intimated that he was going to the Black Hills. Yesterday Sloan returned from Lincoln and we interviewed him also , in order lh.it ha might have bis pay , too , ? o as to give all sides He stated that Flannigan re > quested him to give the letlel and keys to Jrviug. He dldn'l know the contents of the letter but learned them afterwards M'boi Irving read it aloud , and he ( Sloan judged that Flauuigan ha'd mode i raise. Sloan claimed to be n con fidaut of Flannigan , and was ar ranging to go to the Black Hill with him. Sunday afleVuoon h told Sloan thai he was going t Lincoln. Sloan asked him if In was going away , aud he replied that it was not test for him I know. Sloah took him out ridinj arid he complained of beinj coT < i. and got out near the Unioi Ppcific headquarter * , and ha not been seen since. Sloai "inferred" that h'e was going t Lincoln and then going awaj He said he would pay Sloan for hi trouble , and Sloan says be was re muuerated , but not in cash. Slotv says that/ / all reports that ho receive any money ate utterly fnlseand tha Klanhigan did not say anything t him about Hitchcock , "but judged that he had made a raise , a the letter in eubstance showed it , : said Mr. Sloan , who continued , " was not called on at Lincoln in an , way except to testify that the pape was bauded to me by Flanhignr I made my statement before a nc tary public , who came to my hote It is my opinion that Flanniga made a raise , but I don't know fror whom.

The Tiews of Hon. Charles H. Brown on that Resurrected Rescind ing Convention. Although the BEE is a Republi can paper , it apreciates honesty in any party , and henff ? nb apology is needed for \ \iuVjlicatiou \ of the loiter from Hon. C. H. Brown , giv- iug his views upon the resurrected convention , a quortmiWs portion of which pak ed a resolution on Mon day rescinding that iron-clad pledge. The letter , although addressed to Hon. J. G. Megeath , Was given to us by Councilman Shannon , to Whom Mr. Brown wrote saying that Lie had requested Mr. Megeath to hand him tbe letter and Mr. ijrown exprefi-d ! lie hope that the con vention would fcimply adjourn : SENATE CHAMBER , 1 LINCOLN , Jau. 11,1877. J Hon. J. G Megeath } I now Understand that Dr. Lowe , p'esideut of the nominating county convention lust fall , has assumed the authority to reconvene the dele gates of that body. I hope the ru mor is unfounded and that tbe whole thing is a base fabrication ol the enemies of our party. I do not know how the president of that body came to concave the lucid idea that a body selected for a spe cific purpose , after having fully dis. charged their duties aud adjourned without date , could be re convened. I hud always supposed that such an ( idjournment ended its life. This new medicine which revivifies and re-invigorates a dead body beats the dreams of the wildest al chemist of ancient days. The thing should be patented , But aside from this objection , I deuj the right of such a body , admitting it to be properly re-convened , by its members to assume the authority tc speak for their constituents upon c matter arising at this late day a matter which , I understand by ru mor , looks to rescinding the tesl resolution of the convention. Thij botly , when re-aesembled , cannot , in my judgment , posse&s any more authority to t-peak for the party than any other equal number of re- sp ctable Democratic gentlemen that may by chance happen to gel together. My great objection to the contemplated - plated action is that it will bo inju rious to the interests of the party. I do not understand how , at Ihit time , it ciu bo possible for aii } Democrat tj look lu a line of policj which must necessarily weaken tht strength ot our party. If ever there was a critical junc ture demanding every Democrat k stand firm aud true to the pirty , that time is upon us We owe it tc the Democratic p'irty at large tc staud mated ami present to them our entire strength. Nostepshould be taken thai looks to the weaken- iug of any tie that binds us to- gether. This proposed aclionlooke that way. The Democracy of the State have been looking to what we in Douglas county should do. Here tofore , J run sorry to be told by Demourats outside of Douglas that we Imvo been objects of suspicion and distrust. Thi-j destroyed confi dence and weakened the party. But when we assumed the position we did last fall , they took heart , and giving full credence to what we said , entered into the contest , and the refiult is a respectable num ber of Democrats in the Legislature - : uul a eotvl starting of our party toward its final success in the State. Shall we now commence a retrograde movement' Shall we in Douglas forever continue to bo objects of dist'uat to our Dem ocratic brethren in all parts of the State ? I hops not. As sure af there is an abrogation of that reso lution , we must assume that atti tude. For one , 1 wish to express my most unqualified disapproval o the policy looking to that end. 1 do not , aud will not , impugn utij periou'u motive , who acts in thif matter , I believe m allowing even individual to eutertaln any views he may have , and act upon them ; and yet I reserve the same f jr myself ; aud dissent in tolo from tue entire movement.

By thus assisting the Lungs. Throat and Cheat , Dr. Green's Expectorant cures Colds , Coughs. Asthma , Bronchitis. Croup , Dyp- thenn. Whooping Cough and all affections of the Lungs , Throat and Chest , and the first stages of Consumption and Typhoid Fever- Its qualities are Expectorant , Seda tive Pectorial and Alternative. It does npj stop the cough as most preparations do,07 their anodyne and astringent effects , retain ing the mucous and offending matter in tha blood and causing permanent disease of the Lungs , but it cures by loosening the cough and assisting the lungs and throat to throw off the offending matter , which causes tac cough , thus scientifically making the cure perfect. It at once alleviates the nsjst dis tressing cold on the lungs. ; > oothesand allay ; irritation , and breaks up Whooping Cough , No better remedy can be found for Asthma , Bronchitis , Croup and all affections of the Throat Lungs and Chest , and if continued in nso will subdue any tendency to Consump tion , Lung and Typhoid Fever. If the liver is torpid or the bowels consti pated , a few doses of Df. Green's Livei Pills will assist nature. No better cathar tic can be fonnd. For sale by C. F. Goodman and J. K.
