The Republican Congressional commit.
tee Of Washington City has received .
long letter from prominent Republican
10 Missouri which says that the renewal
of Federal Office holders BY the President
has had favorable effect 10 aiding Nc
Clurg, by tending to show Office seekers
that the Schurs- Brown ticket does not
represent the administration or the ma
tional committee. The Radicals expect
to elect Eve Of the nine candidates for
Congress, as follows: TO re- elect Burdett
in the 4th district; to elect Hoveys in
the 9Th, now represented by Boyd /;
Smith Of the 9th, now represented BY
Van Horn; Parker in the 7th, now rep
resented by Asper; and Hayward in the
9th, now represented by Benjamin.
They concede the lst aud Sd districts TO
tho Democrats, and the I'd to the Schurs.
Brown ticket, and believe the 9th will be
closely contested betwsen tho Radicals
and Democrats. It adds that wherever
the Democratic are strong they have made
q nomination, but in doubtful districts
they have fused with the reform Repub
l,cans. The work Of deoapitation goe,
strongly on and it is probable that every
reformer now holding government Office
will be removed several days prior to ths
election. ......... RI.

selected as standard bearers. The county
ticket gives general satisfaction. Il is to
be loped that liberal mon, pledged 10 q
constitutional convention and general re-.
form, will succeed. The work Of dscapita.
tion proceeds earnestly. This will likely
rccoil upon the heads Of its authors, for the
spirit Of resistance 10 rife. Frank Biais
is running for the Legislature. If elected,
he will prove on efficient member.
AN IGNoBLE CREATURE.
What an iynoble creature 10 the brute
Robb, who would make fame by insulting
the memory Of Robert e. Leo. Ho should
have been wrapped in the skin Of serpen.
to crawl upon his belly over the earth
kissing at all objects, whether good or
evil, beautiful or uncomely. The name
Of Lee will live in history, and its uen.
tion stir the hearts Of patriots, when the
infamy Of this debased animal shall have
been forgotten amongst the debris Of
accumulated ages. W. 4. T.
GRobb is the petty official who, at one
Of the Southern ports, ordered the flag,
which had been lowered TO half mast
through respect for Gen. Lee at his
death, raised back to full mast.--ED.1

judge of Probate Court.

1t having been currently reported IN
various portions Of the county that the
Judge Of the Probate Court, to be elected
at the ensuing election, would by virtue
of his Office be Presiding Justice Of the
County Court, and as good deal Of cap.
ital is thereby attempted to be made in
opposition to the regular nominees Of the
democratic party Of this county; and as
some persons have supposed that Judge
Martin, who is q candidate for the position
Of County Court Justice, if elected could
not take his seat by reason Of the sup
posed fac. that the Probate Judge would
be the true and only member Of the
County Court to be elected, We have been
to som, pains to ascertain exactly what
the law is in this matter, and We learn
that it is not true that the Probate Judge
is either President Of the County Court
or has anything to do with it, and for
the following reasons
On the 10Th day Of March, 1866, (see
page 81, session acts for 1866 the
Legislature Of this State established pro.
bate courts in Rails, Jasper and other
counties, declaring in the 6rst section Of
that act that said courts should be sepa.
rate from the county courts, and com
posed Of one judge. At the same session,
in separate act, it was dccreed that the
county courts Of said counties should
oo"eia< sc two ".-.L~--, - - -"'i-i
justices of the county court, and that the
judges Of the probate courts should be
ex officio presidents of the county courts.
This act only applied to these particular
counties and no others.
In 1868, by act of the Legislature,
certain other counties were embraced
in the 6rst act passed, as above stated,
March 10Th, 1866, and probate courts
established in them, but no provision was
made that the probate judge should be
president Of the county court, such a
provision as above stated having been
made for certain counties and no others
On the 18th Of March, 1870, certain
other counties, including Lincoln, were
included iu the list Of counties in which
probate courts we're to be established
still no act being adopted making the pro
bate judge president Of the county court
It is impossible that any one, uuless de
sirous of defeating the nominations o.
the Democratic party, should have circu
lated any such reports as have. called G.
n:- .--ss., NC UeIieve IAN enemy
hath dono this thing"
In conclusion we we say to our friends
stand by tho nominees of the party, with
the assurance that If they get enough
votes, our Judge Of Probate will have
nothing to do with county matters, nor
will Judge Martin fail to take his seat on
tho County Court Leu.h.

Amendments--rorm Of Ballots.


We give conspicuous place to the cor.
rect text Of the several coustituti oual
amendments pending in the present elec.
tion canvass. and, to assist the voter in
the preparation Of his ballot, We quote
the following law and remarks from the
St. Louis RepuLlican on the subject.
Be IL enacted dc. SEQ. l. That sec.
ton 3 of an act entitled an act for cub
mtring constitutional amendments to .
vote Of the people, approved March 8,
1867, be amended go as to read US fol-
lows Sec. 3. Whenever any general
assembly shall propose more than one
constitutional amendment, such amend
ment shall be numbered by the secretary
Of state in the order which they are passed
as first constitutional amendment, second
constitutional amendment, etc. The vote
on such constitutional amendments shall
be designated on the ballots by the re
spective numbers Of each of such amend.

or printed thereon the words "constitu.

has been proposed but if more than one
amendment shall have been proposed
then each ballot shall have written or
printed thereon the words first consti.

designating numerically each additional
amendment. All those voting in favor
OF any one of such amendments shall have

Sec. 2. This act to to take effect and
be in force from and after it's passage.
Approved March IL, 1870.
To illustrate still further: The citi-

ment concerning district courts for the
amendment abolishing tho jurors oath
against the amendment concerning stock
holders liabilities; for the suffrage
amendment; against the ofice-holdlnl
amendment; and for the amendment il
relation to education-would frame biz
ballot as follows:
First constitutional amdenment-No.
Second constitutional amendmeut-Yes
Third constitutional amendment-No.
Fourth constitutional amendment Yes
Fifth constitutional amendment-No.
Sixth constitutional amendment
Of course there must be . great dea
Of confusion at the polls in reference 4
these amendments, and it 10 doubtful
whether one man in twenty will vot'
understandiugly upon them all. Prob
ably the majority Of people will govern
themselves in their vote upon all th'
amendments by their sentiments in rela.
ton to the ono concerning suffrage, vot,
ing.yes or no on all iu order to be sur,
to hit the one that is uppermost in BIZ
mind. But since the movement tor
constitutional convention has been 8,
generally supported throughout th'
State, tho q~e.tin~ nf the amendments
except in reference to suffrage, has dwin.
died into insigui6tance.

Federal inspectors have been at work
in New York arresiing persons on
charge Of illegally registering US voters.
But a dispatch to the Rel ublicrn of the
Zlst says that this Radical intimid alton
act has been found wanting. United
States Commissioner Osborne to-day dis
charged all the men arrested for interler.
ing and embarrassing the So called Fed.
eral inspectors Of election on test case.
The commissioner stated that the law
was clear in the matter of which the
prosecutor complains. He was not in
the discharge Of any duty and was not
improperly interfered with. The com.
missioner's decision created intense ex-
citement and Indignation in Radical cir
cles. Osborne is Radical Of the Raul
calls, aud no one dreamed but that he
would do any but the dirty work the
party might put on him. The news went
down to Davenport, who is engineering
the election for the government, who
waxed wrathy, and determined to apply
the screws all tho tighter. He was en-
gagged in hearing the c1se of Heben
Schroeder, who was charged with at
tempting to register twice. and he imme.
diately decided to send this man up for
trial. He also continued to issue war.
rants by the bushel for the arrest of
other men. and swore that after this none
Of the prisoners would be allowed an ex-
animation till election was over.
