companied by bill providing Tor that
object; which was twice read and COM

The house proceeded, according to
the order of the day, again TO resolve IT.
selfinto committee of the whole Mr..
LiUermore in the chair, on the report OF
the committee of elections on the con-
tested election of Mr.. Merrill, of VT.
The report of the committee was sup
ported by Mr.. Holmes, Mr.. Gross, and
Mr.. Hemhhitl, and was opposed by Mr..
Storrs, Mr.. Broqon, and Mr.. Whitman i;
the last named gentleman moving that
the report be SO amended as to reverse it.
The discussion continued to late
hour, on this and other motions. Final
ly, Mr.. WIS motion was lost; and
The committee rose and reported
their concurrence in the resolutions OF
the committee of elections.
The question was then taken on the
resolution declaring that MIR. Merrill is
not entitled to seat in this house, and
decided in the affirmative by large ma
jority.
Before taking the question on the
other resolution of the report, which de-
clares MIR. Mallary entitled to the seat,
a motion was made to adjourn; and

COMMUNICATION.

The person who has heretofore car
rled the mail between this place and
st. Louis, having failed last week to per-.
form the trip, the postmaster in Ed
wardsville employed another person for
that purpose. The mail was according
ly, on Saturday last, conveyed to ST..
Lonis, and delivered to the person having
charge of the post-office at that place,
who directed the mail carrier to call for
the mail in an hour and half. But upon
calling again, the postmaster, or his un-
derstrapper, refused to deliver the mail
to the carrier, who was, therefore, COM
PEELED to return without it. ,a,asy
Various conjectures are afloat respect
ing this singular proceeding. Some con-
slider it as merely freak of the new
postmaster at St. Louis, or of his under.
strapper, to show his great power and
authority; while others imagine that the
dissolution of the union, so long threat
ened by few great men in ST. Louis,
has actually taken place; and that the
st. Louis postmaster, cooperating with
other sages of the nation Of Missouri, is
determined to- maintain rigorous nom,
intercourse with the free states. The
portmanteau and lock, being the pro-
perty of the United States, will, it is
supposed, be confscated to the use of
the nation Of Missouri.

FOR THE sPEcTAToR.
Mr.. EDrrox,

Mr.. EDrroH, :
While acknowledge the ingenuity
OF the arguments of your correspondents,
.Amicus Curie, l must be permitted,
with due Difference to his superior iudg-
ment, to dissent from his opinion respect
ing the term of service of the present
county commissioners.
The 28th section of the "Act re.
gulating elections" after directing a spe-
cial election to be held on the fourth
Monday of April, 1919, for three county
commissioners in each county, enacts
that "the county commissioners then
elected shall continue in Office until the
first Monday in Augast, in the year
1890, and until their successors shall be
elected andNssporn into Office" rs
BY this clause the county commission
ers are authorized to hold their offices
until the first Monday Of August, 1920,
and ! freely admit that they cannot be
removed from Office before that period.
After that time their continuance in Office
is purely contingent, depending upon
the non-election of successors. It is
true there is no law appointing time
for new election Of county commissions
ers. This omission will have the effect
of Keeping the present commissioners in
Office few months longer than was
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1820-02-08

JONATHAN MILES BRooKwAY, being du-
ly sworn, deposeth and saith, that he was
employed by the postmaster at Edwards :
vile to carry the mail from that place to
St. Louis, and bring the mailfrom thence
to Edwardsville, last week that this depo-
nent delivered the mail at the post-office
In ST. Louis, and was told that it would
be ready tor him in one hour and half:
at the expiration of which time he called,
but found the Office shut. After calling
several times, and going to the house
where he was told the postmaster lodged,
he inquired if the mail was ready for
Edwardsville. He was then informed
that,a he was not the regular mail carrier,
the mail would be detained until it was.
sent for by regnlar postrider or mail
carrier; and further this deponent saith
not. ''i-S s.y''.s
