Missouri ELECTLer.-The election
Just past in Missouri was warmly cor
tested between Stewart, pre-slavery Dem
ocrat and Robin, whom the ST. Louis Re-
publican styles BLACK Republican Einan-
cipationist," for fhe Office of Governor.
Fhe two candidates were both Know No
things. Stewart favoring, and Rollin
opposing the admission of Kansas as
slave State. The result has been, that
Rollin has received majority of the pop
ular vote though from late accounts 1t was
supposed Thai an effort similar to the one
in this State two years ago, would be
made to give the pro-slavery man pbe GER
tiicate of election. Whether The sue
cess will be equal to that of the Wiscon-
sin State canvassers, remains to be seen.
The triumph of Rollins election is
triumph over the corrupt influences OF
The slave power. Though a Shareholder
himself, he is In favor Of emancipation I'D
Missouri and of Kansas becoming Free
State. Aside from this, he is sober,
temperate man, while Stewart is very in
temperate.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF

STATE SUPERINTENDENT--S OF
our State cotemporaries are in favor of
the Teachers Association recommending
a candidate fer Superintendent OF Pubic
instruction. If the selection for the can
didate for that office were not made po-
4itical question, such a course might be
proper, but, so long as 1t is an elective
Office, and our Democratic friends insist
upon voting for no one who Is not of
them, the Teachers Association had bet
ter attend to the business that legitlmately
comes before them, and leave others to
select the candidates for State offices.
The most prominent individuals spo-
ken of a, present as the candidates for
the office of Superintendent, are, among
the Republicans, JoHs G. McMYss,
Principal of the Racine Union School,
aud among the Democrats, LYMAN Z.
DRAPER, Corresponding Secretary of the
Stale Historical Society. Each of these
gentlemen, in the positions they occupy,
stand deservedly high in the estimation
of the people of the State.
Mr.. McMynn, as practical Teacher,
has few equals, probably no superiors.-
He has been long engaged In the bust
ness of Teaching, and has earned a re-
putation moved by but few men ia the
State. His position has undoubtedly Civ
en- HIM knowledge of the wants OF the
educational interests of the State that
render him a very suitable man for the
office of State Superintendent, and we
believe his nomination is favored by
nearly, or quite every prominent Teacher
in the State.
Mr.. Draper is gentleman who has
done much to advance the interests of the
State Historical Society, and is entitled to,
and enjoys the confidence and respect OF
the people generally; but, in respect TO
the necessary qualifications for the i'm
portant Office of Superintendent of Public
Instructions, he cannot be considered on
an equal footing with Mr.. McAynn. His
experience has been IN very different
channel from that of teaching, and his
knowledge ot the duties of that depart
ment must necessarily be very limited Ii
is represented that Mr.. Draper is send
ing circular. to town Superiptendents,
and others. soliciting their influence in
procuring for him he nomination of the
Democratic party for that office. If such
be the case. he possesses far less modesty
of character than We had attributed 10
him.

ADVENTURES or YoUSG LADY on

teen years of age, daughter of the late
David Loudon, residing about four miles
from Shelbyville, Indiana, started one
afternoon on horseback, a week or two
ago, to visit sister in the eastern. part
of the county, near St. Paul. Confident
of her knowledge of the direcnon which
led TO her sisters residence, she strucl,

by swampy morass which extended all

But finding no outlet, and no sign of
habitation, the truth suddenly flashed up
on her that she was lost. 1t was now

several times, hoping to attract the no.

and took off the saddle. She fortunately
had blanket, which she spread under

with her saddle for a pillow, she took
up her lonely camp quarters for the night
The thought of snakes kept her awake
for several long, weary hours, when at
length she fell asleep. Awaking some
time during the night, she got up and
examined TO see that her horse was safe,

MODERN DEMoCRAcY.-1he Mineral
Point Democrat objects to any increase
in the number of our Supreme Court
Judges, because cur Supreme Court now
sympathises too much with the mob 10 be
strictly just when any political question
Is before them" If, 1t says, "they were
elected or appointed for life, OF during
good behaviour, there could be no ohjee-
uon TO an increase of the number" The
elective Judges of our Supreme Court
having decided in favor of freedom, and
the life Judges of the L. S. Supreme
Court In favor of slavery, doubtless
gives this democratic organ a new rea-
son for a dislike of the elective and a
liking of the life system of getting Judges,
though distrust of the people any place
north of Mason's and Dixon's line APP
pears to be distinguishing feature of
modern democracy. But does 1t not
sound well TO hear democratic organ
condemning the choice of Judges by the
people, for no other apparent reason than
that the people are not fit to choose
them; and advocating their appointment
for life, that they may be removed from
all scrutiny or control of the people.

Our Hunker brethren not unfrequently
call the attention of Republicans to the
fact, that during the late Presidential
campaign they predicted that the election
of Buchanan would be to introduce slavery
into Kansas, and triumphantly point US to
the newspaper assurances that Kansas
will be a free State as a refutauon Of
the prediction. Perhaps Kansas will be-
free State, but it is not less fact that
she is now a slave territory made so

LIGHTNING, RAIN AND HAIL.-A very
severe thunder shower occurred last We'd
nesday night, startling and stunning every
one who had eyes TO see or ears to hear.
Since June there had been no such light
ming. 1t was terrifcally sharp and cleo
trifying the thunder reverberated almost
necessarily; and the rain drops fell fast,
faster, fastest. The wind also, blew hard
from every quarter of the compass Ia
turn. One current of cold air CONCEALED
the rain into hail-stones, which came
down with great fury. Wecare told by
gentleman from River Falls, who went
out -io examine them, thai some were
the size of hens eggs, but more like
snow than ice. The smaller ones were
harder. In passing by fields of grain
the next morning, we noticed that the
ram, wind and hail combined, had beaten
down and tangled the best fields so as
to considerably increase the labor Of
harvesting. Crops not so far advanced
nor so heavy, of course Jared better
Potatoes and corn were greatly In need
OF ram, and will thrive luxuriantly upon
the copious moisture.-Transcc ipt.

her of infdelity, which drove her to the

She still denies the existence of crimi-
