We have seen several letters from gentlemen
in the southern part Of this District, and also
several others publishedin the St. Louis Times
and one in the Union, ali cOncurring in one par
ticular interesting 10 our readers. Henderson Is
Porter TO the land ,rhere evcr they CO.
One letter from a reliable man in Franklin coun-
saws Henderson will beat Porter as bad or
worse in that section than did Billy Bsy. Por-
it is said, has but one hobby, and that stolen
from Benton. It is abuse Of the jackson reso-
buttons Of the Legislature and Henderson FOR
voting for them. He imagines he can ride into
Congress by hiding his own miserable deformi'
in Benton's old breeches in the absence oil
that Senator. His whole effort is to divide the
opposition, and secure the Benton Democrats to
his support. His bidding and cringing only
drives them further from him. Porter bidding
for Benton Democrats! Wonder when did he
ever give a vote for a Democrat for Constable OF
Squire?
We will publish some Of these letters mex
week; the account they give is very different
from those garbled and carping letters in the Re
publican. Those letters show their desire to
render Porter a service so plain that it kills their
effect.

PREMIUMS OF A

We failed to notice in our last, the annual
award Of premiums, paid by Messrs. House.
man & Lowry, proprietors Of Planters To-
bacco Warehouse in St. Louis. for the best
articles Of shipping and manufacturing to-
bacco. Twenty-six hhds. were offered for
premiums from various counties in the
State. The premiums were rewarded as
follows:
1st premium manufacturing, grown by
J. r. Roberts Of Franklin county, sold for
$34,25 per hundred. Premium paid $50.
Cd premium manufactur ng. grown by
Daniel Motley Of Pike co., sold for $24,50
per 100 lbs. Premium $25. This was pro-
nouncsd by competent judges a superior
.hogshesd Of Tobacco.
LIST premium shipping. grown by James
Parson Of Cooper county, sold for 1926 per
100 lbs.-rreminm $50. ed premium ship
ping, grown byJas. Parson, of Cooper, sold
for 81 ,90-premium 1926.
e It will BE seen BY the above that Old Pike
succeeded in obtaining the I'd premium of
manufacturing only. For the past two or
three years she has been more successful,
but her enterprising n~eighbors are prepar-
ing to contest the field hereafter with spirit
and energy. Our citizens must wake up,
then, if they would retain their high stand
ing for shippers of the best tobacco raised
in the State. Farmers, look to your inte-
rest and yourlaurels. You have the means,
the enterprise, and energy. Then claim
and secure for Old Pike at the next annual
exhibition Of tobacco her true position, as
best tobacco growing county in the
State.

THE COMPROMISE MEETING.

THE COMPROMISE MEETING.
This body assembled in the Christian
Church on Saturday last in obedience to
the advertised call, and embraced a re-
spectacle, though not large number OF citi-
zens, hailing from vsrious parts of the II
ty.. The meeting was organized BY calling
DR.. w. w. Wise to the chair, and electing
James M. Watson and James NJ. Maher,
Esqrs-, secretaries. MI. Broadhead was
called on to explain the object Of the meet
ing, in lieu of which he moved an d joufn-
ment in consideration of the number pres
-ent. S. F. Murray, Esq, moved an a.
~mendment in this, TO re-assemble at Bow
ling Green at an early day. Mr.. Carr OPP
posed an adjournment, and, after some dis
cussion, the motion to adjourn was with
drawn.
On motion, = committee of seven was
then appointed by the chair TO draft resolu-
tons expressive of the sense Of the House.
In their absence short speeches were made
by Messrs. T. &c. Fsgg and S. F. Murray.
The former would vote for the "comPro-
mise" commonly known as the omnibus
bin, but spoke against its homogeneous mat
ter-condemned the remedy bit SWALLOWED
the potion. The latter believed it right and
e~xpedient to settle the whole slavery con.
|troversy in one bill, admitting California,
Utah and New Mexico with State and ter
Is;torial governments. The com nittee now
returned and made their report. This re-
port, after stating the political condition Of
the country, briefly declared in favor Of the
compromise, encouraged and eulogised
those patriots of the Senate who have CIV
en- it their support, and strongly condemned
the captious course Of ~"fanatics, whether
North or South, who have opposed and are
now throwing every obstacle in the way Of
compromise"
To this Mr.. Fagg took exceptions, said
that it was an attack upon the Hon. Thos.
II. Benton. Though he was in favor Of
the compromise, he was also in favor OF
Benton, and was not willing that the rsso-
%Iutions should coademn the captious course
Of its opponents, lest forsooth Benton would
be condemned. Considerable discussion
here snsued, in which the following gentle
men participated: N. P. Minor, ST. Muir
ray, P. Carr, T. J. c. Fsgg, E. Draper,
and james o. Broadhead. In the course
of which, after the motion of Mr.. Fsgg to
strike out all Of the report that praised the
supporters of the compromise, and con-
|demned its opposers, Mr.. Draper offered to
amend with q set of new resolutions. Mr..
Fagg then withdrew his motion and Mr..
Draper offered his as q substitute. The
previous question being moved, It was de-
'cidsd in the negative, by the best count
could make, 81 to %. The wings, with
one exception, and freesoilers voting in the
negative, and the Democrats in the afirma-
tive. Mr.. Carr then moved 10 amend Mr..
Drspers resolutions in two several places,
both Of which were carried, sitter which
they were adopted by a unanimous vote.

Ma. PIcKEHs:-In my communication the
other week in favor Of adopting a Probate Court
for Pike county, at the ensuing election, I gave
as one reason, that the County Court has too
much TO do TO give all the attention to Probate
affairs which It requires. It seems there is too
law to become acquainted with, and the duties Of
IAN accountant are rarely understood by our conn.,
|ty courts. These have noticed more than once.
I will give an instance only for the present. An
Administrator to save the expense agrees 10
meet a claimant at court without notice served,
meet-the administrator is present and tao
lilly valves notice, the claimant and his witness
ARE sworn and testify, and the demand is clearly
proven ard Just then a Judge imagines the adj.
|ministrator has not waived notice. and in effect
Invites him not TO do il, and in the next place
invites him to plead limitations! and in this be.
trays an ignorance ofthe statues that would make
10 country squire blush.
/ own that my chief objection 10 the present
system has grown out Of q knowledge ofthe gross
Ignorance or recklessness of our county courts.
Is the path of duty so mystifed that they cannot
move at all without turning to the one side or the
other? Sometimes lenient and at others uniu,tlv
stringent. They change the old saying a little
they swaLoto q camel and strain at a enat.
There ere TOO many willing enough tn be hon-
ored with the appellation of " Judge" who are
not able to administer the law or support the dig.
niiv of the bench.
