Mn. EDrToR: To use the language or an
expression Of friend not more than thousand
miles from this place, | would be glad to make
a suggestion 10 the citizens Of Jefferson, in re-
lalion to the city election TO come off on next
Monday. the 4th Of April; that is, that the FOL
lowing persons be elected TO fill tho several Oh
cers of the city: .f
For Msysr-Jeson Harrison.
For Aldernen-W. e. .Dnnscomb; Judge b.
W. Wslis E. D. .Cordell; Henry HaSr; Thos,
w. Cloney John Bauer; Henry Hergsr.
For Assssssr-A. Tulkerson, -. t.
For Constable-Jno, W. Scruges.
Ihavs showed THE ticket TO number Of eiti-
sens and have he'd their approval, and hope that
a large majority Of the citzens il not all will
support il by their votes at the polls. .f
Another suggestion wish 10 make is, that .
poll be opened for an expression OF the sense OF
the citizens, At the same time, IS an instruction
10 the wishes Of the cilisens in relation TO the
license Of Dram Shops. 1 am convinced that
large majority OF our cilizens, II they would
look at the great injury done to the morals Of
the community, and particularly TO our young
men. by permitting so many dram shops and
drinking establishments within The limits Of our
city, would vote to do away with them.
Let the selling Of liquor be confined to the
stores and apothecaries that choose TO keep il 10
s.sS'by the gallon or quantity, and have no
doubt but there would be vast improvement in
our city in point Of morals and industry. But
hile we have dram shop in almost every other
house in the town, even our citizens who are
inclined 10 be industrious, will often be drawn
into them and away from their business. let
those who are most in the habit Of frequenting
such places think the matter over, and feel
assured that their good sense and their feelings
OF duty 70 the community in which they live,
will influence them 10 cast their votes InStruc-
ting The new board 10 do array dram shop licenses
entirely. The revenue they bring TO the city
treasury will not bear any comparison to the
idlenesS and dissipation they produce.

on. We like in mnqlttseit in reference 10 the
Payson and Hannibal road, for two reasons. In
the first place. we hope to see it instrumental in
stirring up those interested in the welfare OF
Quincy, to do something for road of the kind
from this point TO Payson, and in the second
'plitce, we know that in case OF plankroad con.
Inec,ion between Quincy and PAyson, the exten.
sion beyond the latter place would be benefit
to Quincy. We want plankroads, not emily in
this, but in other directions because, when the
railroad is completed TO this point, we will need
these roads more than we do now. II we wish
Ito thrive 10 the best advantage, we must hold out
inducements to the country trade, and one Of the
main features Of these inducements must be bet.

we suggest that "ihe sooner the better" is tht
best maxim to apply to the case. There no time
TO be lost.
