We are under obligations to Hon. Marcus

Couney Politics.

81
Notwithstanding the great and absorbing
topic of the War, our county politics are
now attracting considerable attention, and
the interest fell in the matter shows that the
offices of Breckenridge county are not likely
to go begging this fall. The desire for of
fee is honorable. We wish every man
could get one that wants One-but he can't.
Many candidates, therefore, are doomed to
disappointment. We hear of some ten or a
dozen candidates for Sheriff. Out of this
number, eleven or nine will assurediy com
to the conclusion that Republics are ua-
grateful. on the 18th day of November, or
thereabouts. The travel to Salt river this
winter will be ''large." Boats on that line
will be crowded, and some mighty good
men will be passengers.
We hear the names of many good and
capable men mentioned in connection with
the various offices, and we know ahe people
cannot help but be suited.
In addition to the county Offices to fill,
Judge for this judicial District, a District
Attorney, and six Representatives from this
district-composed of Breckenridge, Cofey
aud Osage-are to elect this fall. We sug-
gest to those wishing to run for office, at
the approaching election, that they announce
their names through the columns of The
News. This practice is common in the
Eastern States. and is good way for the
candidates for Office to let the people know
it, A fee of Sc will be charged for an
nouncing names from now till the nomina'
ton. and the same price for those who in
tend to run, regardless of the nomination.

The New York Independent is now the
best paper of its kind in the country. It
has eight large pages of reading matter,
and very few advertisements, and in all
that reading matter every week, there is
nothing uninteresting. Every week there
is sermon by Beecher. Greeley. Whittier,
Mrs. Stowe, and many of the greatest wri-
tiers of the country are its contributors.
The subscription price is Sc. The post
master will send the names of any that may
wish to subscribe. AS family paper it
has no equal.

The Commissioner of the General Land
office has decided that the presumption

during his absence, provided he shows a
bona tide intention to return to the tract,
by leaving his family thereon; or. in case
he is unmarried, by placing the premises
''in proper charge for the pre-emptor, so
that residence aud cultivation shall be cen
tinued when the military service is at an
end" Aud. provided, also. that, in all
other respects, the presumption law shall
have been fully complied with.

We hope no one will fail to attend the
Agricultural Meeting in this place on Mon
day next, the 18th inst. at one o'clock
P. M. New officers for the County Agri-
cultural Society will be elected, and the
proposition to hold lair this fall will be
discussed. If there should be but slim
attendance at this meeting. it will be taken
as an indication that our farmers do not
want an Agricultural Fair this fall; but if
the proper degree of interest is displayed,
measures will undoubtedly be taken for the
holding of a fair. The counties of Leav-
enworth. Douglas, Johnson, Coffey and
others, are going to hold fairs-why should
we be behind our neighbors Z? Turn out to
