The very important quo Warronio case before
the supreme court Of Illinois, involving the right
of the Mississippi and Atlantic (Terro Haute
and ST. Louis) Railroad Company under the
general Railroad law of that State, to construct
their road without application TO the Legisla-
ture, where the right Of way has been secured,
was argued at Ottawa, Illinois, on the 18th and
18th July ult., before full bench. This case
has excited very general attention, and much
interest is felt all over the West in its result;
as upon it will, for the present, depend the
construction Of direct communication between
all the roads lying this side Of the west like Of
Indiana and Illinois.
The case was ably argued on both sides. On
the part of the Mississippi and Atlantic Rail-
road Company, by Hon. Edward Sanford, Of this
city, who, says the Chicago Democrat, "occu-
pied the court about four or five hours in one Of
the most learned and eloquent arguments ever
submitted TO Court" At the close, the Court
promised an early decision, which is expected

On the 23d ut, goodly number Of the citi-

Sterling Golfer was called TO the chair, and
George Palmer appointed Secretary. The OBJ
Iject Of the meeting was explained by DIR. Nc.
Lain, the chair appointed committee of SIX TO
draft resolutions, whsreupon the following reso-
lutions were read aud adopted:
lst. That Macon county subscribe not less
than fifty thousand dollars stock in the North
Missouri Railroad, and that the county court at
its earliest convenience submit the proposition ia
the people of the county.
End. Were it not fer the stock already sub.
scribed in the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad
the meeting would propose one hundred thou
sand dollars as stock in the North Missouri rail-
road.
From the wording of the second Of the above
resolutions, it appears that Macon county has
concluded TO retain her stock in the Hannil a
and st. Joseph Railroad.

not be increased, except by recruits from the
Wing party. BentOn's strength has increased
, Of late, and that not by Wing recruits. The re-

are now four wing Representatives in Congress,
proves that the Wing strength is increasing, in.

II A letter of invitation, signed by the
Benton men of this section, will shortly be for.
warded to Col. Benton, requesting him to deliver
public address in this city.
The Courier seems to be astonished that he
should be expected TO have the temcrity 10 ven.
ture here, while Col. Darts of Palmyra, is only
twelve miles distant! We hope, however, that
if Benton should come, Col. Davis will consider
his age, and not be more severe with him than
he may think the welfare of the country abso.
lutsly requires As we Shcsld like to hear
the old Buffalo, we suggest 10 the Benton men
that they persuade Mr.. Davis to remain at hemC
with his thunder, and then accompany the letter
of invitation with private note, stating that tn,
terrible Colonel will not be present. The Cou
rier informs us that Benton ran away from Jas
S. Green, in 1919. But as Mr.. Green will no
be present. and Mr.. Davis can probably be per
suaded to stay away, from respect TO Col. Ben
tons age, we do not think the latter need b
afraid to come here and make a speech
