BURR OAK PRECINCT.
Several hundred Missourians, from Buchan
an, flatte, and Andrew counties, Missouri, in
Guiding great many of the prominent citizens
of st. Joseph, came into this precinct the day
before and on the day of election, in wagons
and on horses, and encamped there, took pos
session of the polls by force, and voted, without
taking oath or qualifying in any way.
4rH DISTRICT.
A body of armed Missourians came into the.
district previous to the election, and encamped-
there. Before the time arrived for OPENING the
polls, the Aissoqrisns vent to another thar the
town appointed for the election; and one of the
judges appointed by the Governor, and two.
chosen by the Missourians, proceeded to open.
the polls, and carry on the election. The Mis-.
sourians said none but Pro-Slavery men should
yote, end threatened to shoot any Free State,
man who should come up to vote.
Mr.. Mockbee, one of the judges elected by
the Missourians, had a store near the boundary
fixed by the proclamation of the Goyeynar,
while he cultivated farm in Missouri, where
bis family lived, and where his legal residence
was then and is now. The Missourians also,
held a side election for Governor of the Terri
tory, voting for Thomas johnson, of Shawnee
Missien. The Free State men, Ending the polls
Under the control of non residents, refused to-
and did not vote. They constituted decided
majority of the actual settlers. A petition Sign
ed by majority of the residents of the district
was sent to the Governor. The whole number
of voters in this district, according to the cen,
sus returns, was AZ the number Of votes east
WAS 80, of whom but Is were residents the
number of residents whose names are on the
census rolls, who did not vote, was 80.

JoT inc p0yWeUt ~ money, 2SSaeG 0y any state or
sooereignty, or pooer, or body corporate ithin or
aoathout the Stase, has been expressly stricken out
of the statute book, and the law, as it now stands
contains no such prohibition or penalty Indeed, SO
far is it from being true that such prohibition ex-
lists, shall now proceed to show that even if that
exclusion and repeal had not been expressly made.
the act itself does, by clear Inference establish it
and that while in an entirely unobjectonable, con-
stitutona and practicable manner, the Legislature
have secured the State and individuals from the con-
sequences and abuse of such circulation, they have
left the circulation ITSELF to stand where the wants
and sentiment of the community require it to stand
namely-in the management and control of the peo-
pie themselves.
The first section Of the act declares what shall be
the lawful currency of this State, and accordingly
adopts the decimal standard of the United States
dollars and cents The second, and all other subse-
quent sections recognize the fact that both within
and without this State the notes of individuals and
corporations, such banks and offices of deposit,
are and have been habitually received and arc re-
celvable as the representatives of dollars and cents
ard without attempting as had already been inef-
fectualiy done, and as they are again recommended
to do, to prohibit that circulation when under five
dollars they resolve, and accordingly enact-first,
that the whole banking system of the State should
be hereafter conducted upon the specie basis; and
second that no person. body corporate shall issue
bills OF denomination under three dollars, unless
plainly and expressly allowed by their charter
Such, predict, will be the opinion of the Supreme
Court, If it ever comes to hearing upon the objects
of this law. .-,f .-..--s 80 49, s',s ~,

A CURIOUS TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRoR.-Professor
Trench, in bis latest work on the English language
points out curious in the Oath verse of the
23d chapter of St. Mathew. The words Z" (which
strain at gnat and swallow a camel" the professor
thinks contain misprint which, having been passed
in the edition Of 1911 has held its ground
since. The translators intended to say, (which
strain out gnat and swallow camel, "that being
the correct reading of the original, as appears in
Tyndales and Cranmers TRANSACTIONS, both of which
have strained out" 1t was the custom of the stric
ter Jews to strain their wine, vinegar and other po
tables through linen or gauze, lest unawares they
should drink down some little unclean insect as q
gnat, and thus transgress the Levitcal law. 1t was
to this custom the Savior alluded intending to say
that the Scribes ana Pharisees while they strain out
a gnat from their drink, wonld yet swallow camel

O
greater degree the respect of the House. and enter
tanning less odious opinions the plurality rule would
pass. So long as Banks stands in the way it is i'm
possible.
Horace Greeley is still here, engineering the Black
Republican party. lie is very much incensed-
curses the House a pro-slavery body, and says
that he hopes 1t will not organize at all-he would
rather see the government 90 to pieces than to see
u under the control of conservative men. What is
that but treasons
Uany doubt prevailed heretofore upon whom the
responsibility rests for the continued dsorganiza-
ton OF the House, that doubt was cleared up by the
proceedings OF Wednesday last. Mr. Thorrngton,
Of Iowa, offered resolution declaring Mr.. Camp
DELL Speaker Of the House, which received fifty
votes; in the negative fty-two Of the peculiar
friends of Mr.. Banks. Had they voted in the affr-
native the resolution would have been carried and
NJ. Campbell elected. Thus the responsibility is
individually fixed upon the Black Republicans for
the continued state Of dsorganzaton, which is d.
fecty traceabe to the distractions prevailing in the
ranks of the majority.
The Register Of the Treasury has submitted re-
port to the Secretary Of that Department, showing
that from the 4th Of March, 1858, the commence.
ment Of the present Administration to the LIST in.
