Railroad Convention at New
ark. Missouri.

The grand Railroad Convention, at
Newark, Mo-, Tuesday, was one of the
/ largest and most enthusiastic gather
ings, in the interests of the Quincy
Missouri & Pacific Railroad that has
yet been held. In addition to the
large delegation from this city, the
counties of of Knox, Marion, Lewis
and Shelby, were fully represe nted.
The best of feeling prevaded all pres
ent, and a unanimous desire 10 prose-
cute the work to Osuccessful termination
was expressed in words that could not
be misunderstood, while the liberality
of the different townships in subscrib-
ing to the enterprise was q guarantees
that they are quite as much in earnest
as is Quincy.
Upon the meeting being called to
order by its chairman, Mr.. Fresh, of
Lewis County, Mr.. Savage of this city
president of the rOad), arose and
gave a detailed account of what had
been done by the surveying parties,
what was yet to be done, and VIII at
was expected from the citizens of
Missouri. He was followed by Gen.
Prentiss and Hon. w. A. Richardson
of this city, who explained what was
to be derived from this road, and the
utter wOrthlessness of the splendid
crops upon their beautiful lands with
out the means Of bringing the same to
market. Every point bearing on the
subject was brought forward and dis
cussed amidst the greatest enthusiasm.
Mr.. Hills, of Edna, Mo-, followed in
the same strain, and spirit of rivalry
was engendered as to which township
would surpass the other in the amount
of stock they would take in the enter
prise. Counselor Pratt, of Knox
County, also addressed the COnven-
ton urging the importance Ofa hearty
earnest cooperation, and presented
the subject so clearly to our friends in
Missouri, that there was no escaping
from the conviction Of his argument.
Resolutions were passed by the
Convention, at Newark, to raise $780,
600 in that township, and $50, 900 more
was promised by the Round Grove
township. A proposition is to be at
once submitted to the Salem township
for taking $50, 200 in stock, while q like
proposition for q large amount in one
of the townships in Shelby county was
agreed to. This county also agreed to
get large subscriptions from the va
riOus townships likely to be benefited
by the road, though the same were
not directly upon its route.
The feeling was so strong among the
people from along the proposed route,
that they pledged themselves to raise
more money upon the route already
surveyed, than could be possibly OBJ
tanned upon any other. They propose
to tax themselves one dollar an acre,
upon all the land in their townships,
and more if necessary. The enthusi-
asm of the meeting knew no bounds,
and the feeling of all present was that
the money would be forthcoming
whenever wanted, and the work
should be pushed forward with energy
and dispatch.-Quincy Wing and Re
publican.

Horace Greedy, who certainly cam
not be charged with prejudice against
isnls, (indeed his proverbial weakness
lis the other way) has published cap
ital letter in the Hearth and Home
upon the: woman question:" and
there is therein so much of proper
sentiment and good sense that we
transfer some portions to our columns.
SympathiZing as he does with the
feeling that the "better half of crea-
ton, should be hOnOred, protected
and secured in the enjoyment of all
their natural rights, and cOndemning
the present gross inequality in the re-
muneratiOn allowed to male and fe-
male labor, he has no sort of sympa-
thy with those miscalled champions
of the sex who spout pretty nonsense
or parrot pIatitudes at conventions,
and bring ridicule upon all proper eff
forts for social ameliOratiOn. The
political woman is not to his taste,
and he does not admit that the claims
for the suffrage privilege, are endorse
ed by the women of the land. We
like his views, and we think we are
not far away from the true position,
when we say that whenever the wO-
men of the country really make up
their minds, that they need and want
the suffrage, whether it is best or not,
it will be allowed them without the
slightest doubt, but the weight of evil
dence to-day is overwhelmingly the
other way. The extracts below indi-
cate his general views:
/ hold that God created our race,
male and female; with clear seeing in
tent that it should thereby be rendered
more efficient, nObler, happier, than
it otherwise could be, and that this
diversity relates not to a single func-
ton merely, but extends to our entire
physical, intellectual, and emotional
nature. = I hold that the APP
pointed sphere of man is broader, not
| hirher. Il an that of woman = that
the household is her kingdom, within
which her influence should be para
mount, and her decisions have the
force of law.
Nature has assigned to each a dis
tinct, definite sphere, and the happl-
ness of both, the due development and
well-being of their children, the com
fort and enjoyment of their guesfs,
dictate that each should recognise tue
the others precedence within tns
proper radius of his or her dominion.
AS to Government: ! near
tily wish the women of our country
and of each State, would choose tneal

That discomfort Is unworthy which
is merely fretful. But as for chat dis
content which sees what is wrong in

set them right, where would the

move; Jenner, persisting in his dis
covery of inOculatiOn for the small

enduring iibes and difference, and
yielding to the Ignorance Of a parlia-

tent himself with saying that his en-
CINE would travel four or five miles an

who disturbed n sleepy, easy-going

pOrtunities, so that the world decried
them, but could not carry them down.

any of them, what then? Then we

we call them eccentric, pestilent, i'm

will not let us alone, and sooner or la

The Tomato Worm.

A Contemporary reports three cases
of death ensuing from the pOisining
by the tOn:atOe worm. 1t appears the
worm does not bite, but conveys its
poison by throwing spittle, which it
can throw from one to two feet, this
spittle striking the skin, the parts be-
gin to swell, and then in few hours,
death ends the agony of the patient.

"EvERYBoDY TAKES Ir" has for so
loug withstood the tests of time as the
ua,le mark of Brady's Family Bitters,
that the phrase has grown rs familiar
as household words. This declaration,
well.sustained by the popular decis
ions of the various State Fairs through
out the country last year. is receiving,
IS usual, the same endorsement this
year. At the Louisiana State Fair held
at New Orleans, the most important
in the South, these famous Bitters

There is q generally prevailing idea
that after January 1869, no one can re
ccivc his discharge in bankruptcy I'M
less his assets amount TO fifty per cent
of his whole liabilities. This is an cr-
ror. The first provision of the law is
that his assets shall amount to fifty
per cent of the claims proved against
him, and on which he shall be liable
as principal debtor, which may be less
than his whole Indebtedness rs princl.
pal. The second is that the assent in
writing of the majority ofhis creditors
to whom he is liable as prinpal debtor
and who have proved their claims be
! ing filed in the case, Il discharge may
still be granted, whether his creditors
for security debts may say aye or no
so that one indebted as principal foi
/ $3.50 and also security for seventy
/ i've thousand dollars more, Will be en-
titled to his discharge if his assets
amount to Sl2,500, even the assulnp
/ zion that his Indebtedness as principal
is all proved up, which is unusual
And in case bis assets should not
amount to hundred dollars, the .as
sent in writing ola majority OF his ere
ditors for the amounts due from him
as principal and for the $4,000 will
still remove all difficulty, aud entitle
him to his discharge as fully as if hi
had made fifty per cent. surrender
The probabilities are that creditor,
will always give such assest to all hon
est bankrupts. And men being usual,
more willing to pay their own thar
surety debts, creditors withal will hav,
motive to release especially such Al
they think would never be able to pa,
all, but would exert themselves aftc
release to pay such debts as they hat
personally incurred and received t.
themselves the benefit.
