DELEGATE ELECTION


The election for delegates to attend the
County Convention was warmly contested
in this township, and resulted in the cleo
ton of Robert Morris, A. J. Mitchell, IDa-
vid Plumb, Henry PenrOd, and William
Clapp, over the opposing ticket These
delegates are pledged to oppose any nomi-
nation, and were run upon that issue. The
success of this ticket not only, az we be-
lieve, expresses the sentiment of this town
ship in this matter. as upon every ticket
was ''No Convention" bat it also reflects
the real sentiment of the mass of the people
of Lyon county, as being opposed to nom
mating candidates by delegate conventions.
But as a convention had been called, of
course the only way in which the people
could express their wishes in the matter
was to vote at the primary election on the
question, and elect delegates who would re-
feet their sentiments.
Should the delegates from other town
ships coincide with the views thus expressed,
the convention will of course meet ard adj
journ without making nominations. This
seems to US the preferable mode. thus let
ting the people vote directly upon the ques-
ton of county officers, and trusting to their
good sense that no Objectionable men shall
receive o1ice at their hands. Let the con-
vention pass resolution to the effect that
it is not expedient to make nominations, ard
adjourn, throwing the responsibility on the
people of putting the fright men in the
right place." and We have the confidence in
their good judgment that they will do it.
Let the vote of the county be cast for
unconditional Union, anti-slayerY men. 1Ceu
qualified for their respective positions. no
matter if it does result in the defeat of half
a dozen or more political shysters, whose
very existence seems to depend upon the
success of their chicanery.
Let candidates run upon their oDn merits,
and obtain their election, if at all, by the
voluntary expression of the real choice of
the people; and this can be done in no way
SO we'll as to submit the question directly
to them for their votes without the interven-
ton of convention to tell them whom to
vote for.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Supreme Court, in the contested case
as to whether Judge Watson or Judge Cobb
was entitled to hold the office of Chief Jus
tice, have decided in favor of Judge Cobb
This, however, as we understand it, still
leaves the question open as to whether
Judge Cobb only holds till the coming No
vember election, or for the balance of the
regular term. until 1867, Of course there
is no lack of candidates for election this fall
Judge Watson declines a denomination,
which we presume be could have had with
out serious opposition. AS will readily be
conceded, it is matter OF the utmost inn
portance that person every way competent
should be selected to fill the position. Sew
eral gentlemen have been mentioned in con-
nection with the ofice-Judge Lowe of
Linn county, Robert Crozier, Esq, and
Hiram Griswold, Esq, of Leavenworth-
either one of whom would discharge the
duties pertaining to the Office with credit to
himself, and with advantage to the people of
the State. Either Of these gentlemen would
be entirely satisfactory to US, satisfied as we
are that they possess the requisite learning
and ability,

NEWS SUMMARY.

A telegram from Washington, Sept 80,
says: The Missouri delegation called upon
the President to-day, by appointment, and
presented through their Chairman, Mr.
Drake, an address containing alleged griev
ances, and asking for change of military
commanders in the Department of Missouri
The President read the address. and prom
ised to give it careful consideration, and
furnish a reply as soon as practicable A
free conversational discussion took place,
continuing several hours. This having been
strictly private interview, no reporters
were present. The address concludes as
follows: 1--WE ask only justice and protec-
ton to our suffering people. Ifthey are to
suffer hereafter as now and ia time past, the
world will remember they are not response
bic for the gloomy page in Miseouri's histo-
~, which may have to record the independ
ent efforts of her harassed, but still loyal
men, to defend themselves, their families
and their homes against their disloyal and
murderous assassins."
A letter from Richmond in the Confed-
crate organ, the Index, printed in London,
speaks of the probable early call of the rep

account of the course of the British Gov

A dispatch to the Richmond Examiner
says: General Bragg states the fruits of the
battle at Chickamsuga at 1000 prisoners,
of whom s,GG2 are wounded; thirty six
pieces Of artillery, fifteen stand of colOrs
and gridirons, and over I5 900 small arms.
Our loss in killed and wounded will not
exceed ,0Oo The Yankee loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners, will reach 90, O0O".
All of which is probably just about as
near the truth as the Bragg-ing reports We
usually get from the rebel side.

chan ged. are all citizen prisoners paroled

RETNF ORCEMENTS FOR ROSE
GRAMS.

From the Leavenworth Times we copy
the following interesting information. It
seems that he great work of reinforcing
Rosecrans is begun. We may look for
thrilling news from his army soon. The
rebels are also transferring very large por-
tons of their Potomac army to Georgia, and
a tremendous effort will there be made to
drive back and destroy our right wing. In
deed. it may be that that Will be the chosen
ground for the closing of the great Slave
holders Rebellion. God give success to the
right:
There can be no impropretv now in stat
ing that the 11'h and 18th corps of the
Army of the Potomac have been sent to
reinforce Rosecrans. They began to move
West, over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, on the 25th The entire facilities of
that great road were put in operation to
transport this formidable body of veterans
The railroad route from Washington to
Chattanooga is as follows:
By the Baltimore and Ohio Road to Par
kersburg, three hundred and eighty miles !;
Marietta and Cincinnati Road to Cincinnati,
two hundred and two miles; Chic and Mis-
sissippi Road to Seymour, eighty seven
miles; Jeffersouville Railway to Louisville,
forty-nine miles Louisville and Nashville
K ad to Nashville, one hundred and eighty
five miles; Nashville and Chattanooga Road
to Chattanooga, enc hundred aud fifty
miles. This makes a distance to be trav-
eled of. little over one thousand miles
1t is an immense undertaking to move
such large body of troops by rail, but the
admirable appointments and extensive facil
tiles of the lines over which they are being
transported are such as to insure extraordi-
nary celebrity, at least until Nashville, Ten
nesee, is reached. 1t will become matter
of curiosity hereafter to know the time
within which these two great corps have
passed from East 10 West and effected
junction with the Army Of the Cumberland.
Gen. Hooker's command may possibly
have much to do with the 18th and 18th
corps Of his old command.

is much mutilation Of this currency, the

The present postage currency is coming
into the Treasury at the rate of $50, 900
