DEAR STA la my letter of The l2lh Of May, In
formed you that + p. Blair editor Of the Globe, was
then here and that preparations were making by ne
aud Col Benons peculiar aud especial friends TO ca
ablish paper in his city 10 denounee the President
and all movements in this State calculated TO give
any other candidate, except Nit Van Buren, fair
chance in the convention, and to prevent the holding
OF that convention later than next November
The press in question Is now about TO commence
operation. The FIST number will Issue to-day or To-
morrow, and thea look out far the grand tight 10
come OF among the Democratic papers of the State
Gen. Van Antwerp, one of MI. Van Burens en
Receivers and his relative, believe, has come down
from Iowa mix in the contest AID aid in The edil!ng
of the paper. A relative of Rives Of the Globe
is TO be main publisher; and Montgomery Blair, ESQ,
Judge Engle and es Judge Bown member of Con-
gre.s lect, are to be editors, iHeog.
Col. Bentons friends know and publicly syow that
If MIR Van Buren, is not made The next President, Mr.
Benton will be able to the line of succession
Tor 1913; and that, therefore, The question of his
ever becoming President rests up,n the election OF
Mr.. Van Buren In 1914
Col. 9enton's movements for the asst year indicate
this 10 be his Intention, and his only hope 's clear
ly, aud thus N that he became the G. ampion OF Mr..
Van Buren, as far back the winter of lS40-il,
when he hal him nominated To the Presidency for
10 H. by the Legislature OF Missouri, that winter,
and has since induced the Globe beat out its brains
again7l Mr.. Tyler and Mr. Calhoun, in the suicidal
course il has pursued the last year.
Nsver did Mr. Van Buren, commit so great mis-
taxi, as 10 allow Col Benton to lead oil for him in
the running between the several candidates!
He may, with the greatest truth, excaim" save
me from such friends" The result is, that Col.
Johnson has just been nominated in this city t, the
Presidency, and his friends number more than tioo
to one over Mr.. Van Buren, in tins State and Illinois
Col. Benton himself can scarcely hope 10 escapc
The whirlpool which he has 81 recklessly set in mo-
lion-tor if he is permitted To his seat in
the Senate year from next fall, | will agree that |
know nothing of the feeling OF Republicans in Mis-
souri,.
Marsh Holiday, one Of the Treasury note gentle
men OF New Orleans, who taken at the mouth
of the Ohio and placed in Jail, had his trial to-
day on the writ Of habeus corpus, and remanded
back prison. in default Of giving so 600 bail for
bis appearance at New Orleans Watson, one of his
partners IN passing on the stolen Treasury nulGs,
in Jail at Independence, Missouri
Between twelve and thirteen thousand dollars
were fund IN their possession and is doubted
that certain lady Of this city is in charge of some
Sl5 900 5000 more OF this money for these gen.
temen.
But for Il c timely and adviccs of Secretary
Spencer, should not have secured these rascals
and this money al this point. The vigilance and en-
ergy of this officer is already felt in every ramifca
tion of the public service connected with his Depart
meat.
