eB- Among the delegates to the American State
Convention we're quite number of the members
of the last Legislature. All of them are good and
true men, and several of them we learn are candi-
dates for reelection. Col. NJ. d. Davie, of Mont
gomery, is Of the number; and there can be no
doubt that be will be returned by booming and
increased majority. He was one of the most hard
working and efficient members in the House of Rep
resentatives two years ago, serving his county
with the most untring devotion and energy.
CT We are under obligations to the polite
clerk of steamer Aleonia for late files of the Saint
Louis papers.
