An election for President, Vice-Presi-
dent and Cashier OF the First National
Bank took place to-day. The result will
be found in another place.
There was some complaint about
scarity OF currency today. Many OF our
banks have overloaded themselves with
exchange, end were compelled to sell TO
their neighbors st &c discount, In order
10 meet the demand for currency, which
continues to be active for the purchase
Of cotton. A very large proportion Of
the money received iE this way, by the
cotton seller, goes direct to the country,
and dees not return 10 the bank In the
shspe OF a deposit. Eastern bills are
sold at q small rebate on our quotations,
in large amounts. New Orleans bills are
scarce and hcm.

w. E. Carter for the Assembly.

The First Assembly District, COM
posed Of PlatteviIle, Hazel Green and
Smelser, have in nomination w. E.
Carter for the Assembly-the formal
ballot giving him fourteen of the del
egates to thirteen for Joseph Harris,
member for last year.
Mr.. Carter possesses good intellect
and general intelligence, is a self
made man and an able lawyer, and
is amply qualified for legislator.
Hitherto the only hindrance to Mr..
Carriers rise and general usefulness
as public man has been his own ad-
vertised self-importance, which prom
inent popularity he has neither been
able to conceal nor control. And
the popular error has been to give
undue weight to this fault in Carter,
and thus hold him within a sphere
geratly below his merits. The legis-
lature will afford him a sufficient
schooling to enable him to overcome
his self-considerateness, and the pub
lie will thereby gain a luminary of
hardly second magnitude.
The nomination of Mr.. Carter is
still another testimony that the peo-
pie are demanding q representation
at Madison of greater talent and le-
gal ability than hitherto, and this n
view of securing more and better
benefits from legislation. In the sew
eral years gone by our part of the
State has been neglected by the legis-
lature, and none to blame except the
people on account of generally allow
ing themselves to be represented by
men of but little ability and vital force.
Good, honest men, but do-nothings,
for the Legislature has been the rule,
and the exceptions to the rule have
too often been men Of one idea, and
that idea being the support of an ex-
travagant economy or negative to
progressive legislation.
Mr.. Carter is departure from the
bare-boneS rule and is a progressive
man, as was his predecessor and to
the latter for his energies the town of
Platteville is this day indebted for
more than half It's Importance to its
proprietors and the public. Our
hopes are that all the Assembly dis
tricts in the county will rouse from
their slImbers and send their ablest
and best working men to the legis-
laturo.

Complementary. P. Dewey.

Mr.. W. 2. Dewey has been honored
with a unanimous nomination for re-
election TO the Assembly-all the
towns of his district represented
1t is rare occurrence for any one,
in a district three-fourths republican
and having SO many distinguished
and able citizens, to receive a unani-
nous nomination for an office.
With personal habits and conduct
unexceptional, manners frank and
simple, mind vigorous and reason in
flexible, systematic and orderly in
business, ability to read men as a
book and take inventory of men and
things as they are, Mr.. Dewey caL-
not fail to become leading man in
the State as we'll as at home. He
especially owes the successes he has
attained and is to attain by his pro-
fessional fidelity and soundness oil
judgment, these being the business
properties which strike with direct
force the minds of people who daily
meet him.
Mr.. Dewey's faults of the past
were his over long adherence to q
defunct party of the country. AND
during his selfclouded obscurity, the
radical party with the press it's min
lister, was scarcely strong enough
battery to hold him at the negative
pole of popularity. Long before he
left the democracy, Mr.. Dewey was
known as a free suffrage democrat
often affirming this interogativeprop-
osition: off freedom and free suf
frage be not the essentials of democ
racy, then what are ?" Entertaining
with Harrison G. Hubart and other
war democrats a belief that McClel
lan's patriotism was sounder thar
was either the party or the platform
Mr.. Deweys last vote with that par
ty was cast in 1864, since which tim,
he has been consistent republican
and necessarily radical because never

Luther Basford for Assem- bly,.

The west assembly district repub-
licans have put in nomination Luther
Basford for the Assembly, the con-
vention giving him sixteen votes to
to ten for Jared Warner.
Mr.. Basford's citizenship dates
among the oldest in the County, but
he IS not an old fogy, being progress
sive and liberal and, though mem
Der of the Assembly some dozen
or fifteen years ago, he has not since
been afflicted with sore-head or held
the people indebted to him balance
on excess of merit. Formerly he
was a successful farmer, but left the
farm several years ago and went into
trade at Glen Haven. And for q
dozen years he has been a general
agent for the Madison Mutual Insur-
ance Company. Mr.. Basford's varied
experience on the farm, in trade and
otherwise, has therefore been suffi-
Gent TO qualify him for legislator.
lie lacks legal and educational train
ing, but for practical usefulness will
rank above two-thirds of the mem
bers OF the next assembly. He will
not offend with egotistic speeches
nor atfiict by meddling with things
above his comprehension. We mean
that he possesses full stock of good
sense.

Fifth Assembly District Convention.

The Convention was called to or
der, pursuant to published notice,
Oct. 80, by the Chairman of the
District Central Committee. Samuel
Newick was elected Chairman and
G. III. Chambers, Secretary.
On motion, Committee on Gre
dentials was appointed by the Chair
man. All the towns in the District
were found to be duly represented,
except Little Grant, which failei to
send delegates. After the report OF
the Committee on Credentials was
disposed of, a motif vas made to
take an informal ballot for candidate
for the Assembly, which being car
ried, resulted in eliciting the fact
that Luther Bastord and Jared War
ner were the leading candidates for
the, office A formal ballot was then
taken, which resulted as follow:
Luther Basford
Upon motion of Mr. Warner, Luther
Basford was declared to be the unan-
imous nominee of the Convention.
The Chairman then appointed the
following persons District Centr al
Committee for the ensuing year !:

GREEN CoUNTY-W EsCOTT, Hon.
Walter S. Wescott has received the
Republican nomination for Senator
to represent Green County, over
Gen. Bintliff. Mr.. Wescott has often
represented his county in the legis-
lature, once as Senator, and was al
ways reckoued one of the ablest and
sOundest members. He is also an
able, and skillful farmer and first
class plowman-being a habitual stu
dent OF his profession. The study of
the farm with the view TO produce
the utmost yield from the least labor
and fewest acres is just as essential
for a successful legislator as any 9th
er department of knowledge. But
half farmers and small lawyers make
the poorest legislating botches. Send
ing retrospect to the past we fail to
call to mind single instance of a
systematic and we'll read farmer who
failed when in the legislature to rank
as a first class law maker, or of a
sloven and unread farmer who rank
ed fourth rate. Perhaps as rule,
whatever may be a mans pursuit or
profession. if he be thorough, system
attic and successful, withal a well
read man, he cannot fail as q legis-
lator.

You have perhaps heard of lawyers
who have no conscience, who would
take poor mans last cent from
him, or cheat the widow and orphan
IN settling up an estate. Such fel>
lows are to be found everywhere, but
for downright rapacity, commend me
to a Washington lawyer who was
brought up before court this week
charged with collecting forty dol
lars and two cents from an estate, of
which sum he modestly Kept forty
dollars, and offered his client the bal
ance, tloo cents Client coulden't see
it in that light, and "demurred," to
use legal phrase, complained to the

why heshould be striker from the list
