Business Prospects.

There is but one feeling prevalent among
commercial men as 10 the prospects Of trade
during the Fall season. There seems to
be so little in the aspect Of commercial af-
fairs that is threatening, and so much that
is hopeful, that oil with one consent have
begun to anticipate large trade for the bal
ance Of the year. For ourselves, we can
not but endorse this common sentiment;
though il is TO be feared that its very uni
versatility will prove a serious drawback on
the prsfitablensss Of business operations,
for il is one Of the cummonsst facts in sx-
perience that the anticipation of large de-
mand for merchandise induces a supply SO
excessive as 10 render trading exchanges
Improbable. II is not possible TO point 10
any section Of the country where depres-
sion prevails; on the contrary, in nearly
every part of the Union, business was new
er so extensive, so sound, or so generally
remunerative. or courss the Western
States must be regarded as standing more
or less in exception 10 this remark. The
extent 10 which the resources that section
have been diminished may be inferred from
the large decrease ~ the ex -orls Of pruvis-
ions and hrfsd.fuf, which has occurred
ras he r,5 las fiscal years.

all fully employed on remunerativs wages.
The strike in the Shoe trade has subsided,
and the hands are again employed, mostly
on improved earnings. In short. every
section Of the country, and, Almost without
exception, every industrial or trading in
terest is in sound and hopeful condition.
Money is superabundant, and notwithstand
ing the remarkably low rates at which it is
offered, there is no rash speculation to take
it up-a most satisfactory and assuring
sign Of the times. Upon the whole,
therefore, there would appear to be
every reason for anticipating q season Of
unequaled activity in traie; whether sales
will prove as profitable as they are large,
must depend entirely upon whether traders,
through being over sanguins, are Induced
10 oyerstock themselves.
FA special term of The Randolph Coun-
ty Court was held in this place en- Monday.
Its object was TO consider the proposition TO
compromise a SUIT now pending between
the County of Randolph and the North Mis-
souri, Railroad Company, for about the sum
oil $22 600, which this Railroad Company
claim has vet dne from the County on lis
subscription. The terms Of the compro-
mise are, that th- North Missouri Railroad
Company shall abandon the suit brought a.
gainst the county, and the county,
shall subscribe a sum equal to tha,
in controversy TO the Charlton and Ran
doIph Railroad. Numerous petitions were
circulated over the county, urging the coun-
Iy court TO make the compromise on these
terms, with the further condition that the
Road be located through CT adiac.ns 10
Huntsville, and connect with the North
Missouri Road IN Allen. These petitions
received l,343 signatures. Renonstran-
aes were gotten up by the friends of the
Roanoke and Renick route who used the
most active measures 10 defeat the compro-
mise. Alter a protracted session of three
hours the court agreed 10 the compromise.
In The event the Road IS not located on the
central route the compromise will be null
and void.
We believe The majority OF the people
will fully sustain this action. Another
RalroSd through our county can but bens-
/ fiji 1t immeasurablY more than to retain the
small sum in controversy, surprising that
the County would have gained the suit
Rare, indeed, are the opportunities offered
to people 10 procure Railroad SO cheap.
y, and we think they would have been
blind 10 their interests to have neglected to
improve it. Aided by the private sub
scriptions, this $22 900 is of material .d-
vantage in determining the question of To-
cation. Small events often produce big
results; and this applies to the present case.
The Board Of Directors are to meet in
Brunswick tomorrow 10 permanently To-
cate the road, and the result will soon BE-
known.-[R [Rannolph Citizen. 2l.

How Old Abe Received the News of his
Nomination.

NOMINATION.
There are several reports afioat as to
how "Honest Old Ate" received the
news of his nomination, none of which
are correct. We give the correct re-
port:
The official committee arrived in
Springfield at dewy eve, and went to
Honest Old Abe's house. Honest Old
Abe was not in. Mrs. Honest Old Abe
said Honest Old Abe was ont in the
woods, splitting rails. So the official
committee went out into the woods.
where, sure enough, they found Honest
Old Abe splitting rails with his two
boys. 1t was grand, magnificent spec
tacle. There stood Honest Old Abe in
his shirt sleeves, pair Of homemade
leather suspcnders holding up pair of
homemade pautaloons, the seat of
which was neatly patched with substan.
tial cloth Of different color. "Mr.
Lincoln, sir, you've been nominated, sir,
for the highest office, sir -" ooh.
don't bother me-" said Honest Old Abe.
IL took q stent this morning to split
three million rails afore night, aud /
don't want to be pestered with no stiff
about conventions till l get my stem,
done. I've only got two hundred
thousand rails to split before shutdown.
| kin do it if you'll let me alone.o And
the great man went right on TO splitting
rails, paying no attention to the commit.
tee whatever. The committee we're lost
in admiration for few moments, when
they recovered, and asked one of Honest
Old Abe's boys whose boy he was
"l'm my parents boy" shouted the 'or-
chin, which burst Of wit so convul. led the
committee that they came ,,sery near

and received the -sews with perfect self
possession. |dc then asked them up to
the ho.~~se, where he received them cor.
