| THE COUNTY CANvAss.-There are some who do
not fully understand the proposition or manner of
voting on the sth Of October next and as we
have been called upon to explain it, we shall en-
deavor to do SO, to the best of our ability. The
latter part Of the following paragraph is all that
needs an explanation
| That each of our names shall be placed upon
the poll-books in their regular order for nomina-
ton, and that every white man in the county, above
twenty-one years, who is opposed 10 the doctrine
of the Radical party, who has resided one year in
the State of Missouri, and three months in this
county, and who will bind himself 10 support the
candidates nominated for whom he shall vote, shall
be allowed to vote in such nomination.
After the article had been drawn and submitted
to- the Convention for approval, the words, for
whom he shall vote, were proposed and interlined
! in the original. The words, however, do not OBJ =
struct the meaning Of the paragraph in question.
Any voter vote for Sheriff, and omit the rest
of the candidates if he chooses. He is required to
support the ticket jast as far as he goes. Say for
| instance, that he will vote for any one Of the
candidates for Sheriff, and the man he votes for
does not receive tn nomination, then he is in duty
bound to support the nominee, whoever he may
be for sheriff, because he voted for sheriff. If he
votes only for Assessor alone, then he is not bound
to support any other candidate, because that is as
far as he went. So you see, the words for achom
,ce shall uote, imply just what have stated, and
only binds voter as far as he goes, in what is
sermed the nomination.
| PAINFUL AccIDEET.-On Monday morning last.
while little 10. Hendrix was out hunting, and

load entering his right hand. The wound was of
such nature, as TO require amputaton OF the four
hngers Jo is IA years Of age, and is said to have
| been very careful when uGing gun. .'-
