Third District,
MANY DEMOCRATS.

The democracy are looking about for O
cand idatefor Congress. The last Bloom
ington Republican contains a communica-
ton bringing forward new aspirant, Mr..
Geo. A. Shortridge, of that place. This
correspondent thinks Macon entitled to the
honor of naming the standard bearer, and
his arguments contain some pretty sharp
thrusts at other aspirants. Hear what he
says Of Judges, for instances:
Let Judge Reese stay where he is
Certainly, in the gallant Third, we have
men qualified to represent us without TAX
ing our Circuit Judges"
Let the Judges stay where they are But
some county has to furnish Il candidate, and
our writer is not in favor Of taxing any one
county too much. Hear him dispose of
this part of his subject:
| am opposed to Lewis county having TO
make so many sacrifices for the public good.
Let other counties boar their proportion.
Green, was from Lewis; Lindley, is from
Lewis; and NOW shelby wants her 10
raise" another ONE. This is going it blind,
or riding a good horse leetle too much.
Such policy" as this would "break the
wind" of the best nag that ever run;-be-
sides this, it would not look well, nor be
treating Lewis as we would that she should
treat us.
| believe there are seventeen counties
in this District, BESIDES Lewis. Let some
OF the others bear the burden of sending out
a candidate. Howard has done her Share.
and so has Charlton.
Macon county is the banner county, and
propose that she be MADE to produce the
Standard Bearer for next August. She is
entitled TO the hOnor-and she is worthy and
true as steel in support of Democratic prin.
ciples. My "policy'' and motto is, give us
a Macon horse for the next heat.
We itdlicise few words, TO point the in
quiry, who is "struck in Howard and Char
iton?"

Railroad Meeting in Charlton

A large and enthusiastic meeting wa,
held in Keytsville, on the I'd inst, Judge
Applegatein the chair, E. S. Williams Sec.
rotary. The meeting was addressed by
the chairman and Messrs. Bell, Hyde, Mo.
bcrly, Davis, Gillian, Lehman, Fallenstein
Fleetwod, Brinker and Mann.
Messrs &. w. Bell, G. w. Shepherd, H
Shannon and Cyr as Hutchinson were APP
pointed to report resolutions, who submitted
the following:
Whereas it is proposed to construct rail
road, from Weston through the counties Of
Platt, Clay + Ray, Carroll, Charlton, Howard
Boone and Galloway, intersecting with the
North Missouri Railroad, in or near said
last mentioned county; and Whereas also
several counties, on the line, have held pub
lie meetings and proposed the holding of q
general convention OF said counties, on the
22d day of next February, in the city OF
Brunswick. Be it therefore Resolved:
l. That we cordially endorse and approve
of the proposed road, as one practical, and
now called for by the wants of the counties
contiguous to, and through which, it is pro-
posed TO construct it.
2. That Charlton county will be found
ready to cooperate with other counties in
terested, in contributing the utmost of her
mite, in pushing the project to successful
and speedy completion.
3. That whilst we believe and are fully
assured, that large amount of individual
subscription of stock will be taken in the
country; we also pledge the county Of Char
iton, to subscription of not less than one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to said
road.
4. That we believe the proposed general
convention Of the counties, interested in the
road, will be the most suitable body to de-
termine upon the time, and manner organiz-
ing for the construction of the road. Yet
we incline TO the opinion, from the lights
before us, that 1t would be iudicious TO Or
ganise under the general Railroad law, now
existing in this State.
8. That we approve of the resolutions of
the counties of Ray and Clay, calling for a
convention in the city of Brunswick on the
22d day of next February, and that the
chairman of this meeting, appoint forty del
egates, to attend said convention from this
country.
6. That committee of three be appoint
ed, to correspond with similar committees
on the proposed route, on any matters of
interest touching the proposed enterprise.
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed. The chair appointed the delegates
provided for in the fifth resolution.
The following persons compose the com
mittee called for by the sixth resolution
Messrs. Jno. II. Blue, A Hathaway and L.
Salisbury.

derstood by the country to lend their inhu-
ence to the reelection of the Prince Of
Freesoiers to the United States Senate >
meaning Benton. Nt
That is another bald-faced lie. If it is
"well understood by the country" give the
facts-the circumstances, upon which the
understanding rests. Such thing is moi
"well understood" nor understood at all, by
"the country" nor any single individual: the
editor of the Examiner" does not believe
it himself, though he gives circulation tc
charge. .... ...
We shrink from no position of the Wing
party--from no position of 1.-THE Times,
We can defend our past course, and it is OF
index 10 the future. .. .....
The democracy would like to see the
Wings divided, as they themselves are; the
Wings have been little too wise for this
notwithstanding they have been tried and
tempted. Some weak members'w tempted
took the bait,and fell. They stand as lights
10 others, and the efforts of the "Exami-
ner," and all its helps--of Benton, and all
his followers, will not suffice to lead Wings
from the support of Wings for the Legisla-
ture-Whigs for Congress, and Wing for
the United States Senate!
We expect TO be successful, too! And
our success will be, in part, owing to the
divisions of the democracy There you
have our answer-our past position, which
is a guarantee of our future course-and
our relianccs for success. Now sustain
your charges, or wear the brand of detrac-
ton and falsehood.

To County Commissioners Of Common
Schools for the Several Counties in
the State of Missouri.

the State of Missouri.
The first section of the 9th article of our
"School law" requires the qualified vote 9
of school districts, as established by law, to
assemble on the first Saturday in December
1853, and annually thereafter at the usual
place of meeting for the district and elect
three trustees, who shall hold their office
until their successors are elected and
qualified.
The county. commissioner for Usage coun-
ty has informed me, requesting my opinion
as to his duty in the premises, that the
qualified voters of one district in that coun-
ty failed TO elect their trustees on the first
Saturday in December, and have since
held their election; and experimenting that
many districts in the State have overlooked
that provision of the law, have concluded,
for the use of those who may desire it, to
make known through the medium of the
press, my opinion as to the legality of such
elections. If the district meeting was duly
convened by the trustees elected under the
law of 1915, regard the election as valid,
although held since the first Saturday in
DECEMBER. 1.-THE meeting was not so con-
vened, the persons elected cannot be re-
cognizedas trustees, and the trustees elected
under the act of 1916 continue in office, dis
charging all the duties imposed upon trus-
tees by the act of 1853. This construction
secures to such districts their proportion of
the school moneys and is in consonance with
The Wboaetenor of the law while any other
would eTeMde them for one year from any

More Territories,

The Washing correspondent of the Re,
publican writes
The Committee on Territories will have
enough to do this winter. tits proposed to
organize three Territories, with view ia
their speedy admission as States. The
Territories now in question will be chrsten-
ed when born, Nebraska, Cherokee, and
Kansas Territories. The average size of
these Territories will be about that of the
State Of Ohio. Two of them will probably
be slave States, and the other free State.
1t is suggested, however, that as Cherokee
Territory is to be taken from region now
appropriated to Indians exclusively, it be as
signed as a refuge for free negroes, and TO
be held forever in condition of political
puPilage. The idea possesses novelty at
least.
