WHEAT-Ws visited a large portion
of Monroe and Hurricane townships the
past week, and found the wheat every.
where looking thin, and in some places
decidedly sickly. About tho best we
saw was on Long Arm prairie, the
southern portion of Monroe township,
but it will probably not produce more
than half crop. We saw but very little
growing around Chantilly and Salem, but
as We neared Hurricane township, fields
of this cereal we're more plentiful, but
mono of them promising more than a
half crop. Many of tho farmers are
greatly discouraged, but they should re
member that when tho crops are short
the prices are high, and instead Of realiz
ing from Is cents to Sl25 for their
wheat next fall, the neat little sums Of
50. and 1925 per bushel will probably
be realized. The farmers we're busy
putting in their corn.

THE HER A Id.
LOCAL AND COUNTY.

The RAILROAD ELEoTIoN-OUR PRES.
ENr PRospEcTs.-As advertised, the an.
nual election for q board of directors Of
the st. Louis and Ksokuk Railroad Com.
pany, came of at this place last Monday.
The following board was elected: Geo.
Greene, Geo. Douglas, s. p Wismer, w.
W. Walker and DR.. Ely, Of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa; Walton Perkins, s. r.
Voolfolk and D. T. Waddy, of Lincoln

Greene, president; 8. R. Voolfolk, vice
president; 8. p. Wismor, treasurer
VIM. Buchanan of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
secretary.
As was published some weeks ago a
contract has been entered into with Messrs.
douglas h Walker for the building Of
the road. Tuesday last, Mr.. Voolfolk
handed us q copy Of tho contract for
perusal, and the manner in which it was
drawn up really sounds like business. 1t
is virtually a transfer Of ownership to the
contractors on certain conditions speci.
fed therein, one of which is, that the
road shall be completed. the rolling stock
placed thereon, and the whole route in
running order from near Hannibal
through New London, Rails county,
Bowling Green, Pike county and Troy,
to a point on the North Missouri rail.
road, by the 18th day Of April next
Any failure on the part of tho contrac
tors forfeits the sale. We may con6d.
ingly assume then that the road will be
built, for Messrs. Douglas and Walker
are classed among the most reliable con
tractors in the country.
Last Monday, railroad fever was high
iu our town, and talk Of buying lots neal
the site of the proposed depot was largely
INDUCED in. 1t is also believed that
work will be commenced at both ends o.
tho road, and in such case many antci
pate that construction trains will b
running to this point from the North
Missouri in two or three months. ant
that there will be two thousand dollar
depot erected here by that time. This
however, is doubtless the emenation OF I
very sanguine temperament. But stranger
things have happened.
Reports from Rails county arc yer!
encouraging. An extra Of the Record
dated the I'd inst, says that track laying
on the St. Louis and Ksokuk railroad
will be commenced not later than th'
present week and that at the date Of it
publication there were one hundred ton
OF iron 10 Hannibal ready for the work
and eleven hundred tons more on tn,
road, which would be delivered as fast a
locomo olive power could do its work. s.

CHARLESTON, March 27, 1872.
To the Editor of the Republican:
In looking over your issue sof the 26th In,
stant, I see In what appears to be an.edltorlal
an assertion which ought not to 20 to the
country unrebuked and denied.
believe newspaper which claims to be
the exponent of the views and Interests of a
person or party, ought to be truthfully In
formed as to its wish aud will, SO as not to
send anything abroad except that which ls
strictly true; and the promulgations are these.
In speaking of Lieutenant.G Governor Ransler:s
letter. YOU say THAT Mr.. Ransier Is an 1nfu-
entail member of the electoral delegation
from this State, and that this delegation acts
under instructions not to vote for Grant as
the nominee II he refuses to yield to certain
political demands necessary to party rule IN
this State" &c.
Now, I most emphatically deny that the
delegation has any such instructions. Tne
only place they could get instructions was In
the convention, and ] am sure they did not
get them there, for not a man who was elected
dared to breathe In the convention that he
was hostile to Grant, for If he had he or they
would not have been elected.
The Republicans of South Carolina have no
Just cause nor grounds tor complaint against
fact If nothing more. By his rigid enforce
ment of the enforcement act the Republicans
of this State are enabled to repose In quiet
ness on their couches at night; aud for that
blessing, If nothing more, he ought to have
our heartfelt gratitude. We should demon,
strate the same by our earnest support, and

4 COURT HELD By MISTAKE.

The Circuit Court for York County COM
menced Its sittlngs last Tuesday, Judge
Thomas presiding. The grand jury reported
only two true bills. one against John Shaw and
Robert McCorkle, charged with assault and
battery with Intent to kill; aud the other
against Lawrence Withers and Andrew
Bridges, charged with larceny. The grand
Jury was discharged on Tuesday evening. The
only case taken Up was that OF the STATE
against Thomas Spencer and ". P. Roddy,
charged with the feonious taking and carry
ing away nine bales of cotton, the property OF
W. B. Daniels, In January, 1871. The bill OF
Indictment laid the offence In two counts, one
for grand larceny the other for breach of'trust.
s. P. Hamilton, Esq., appeared for the pros
ecutlon, Colonel W. B. Wilson for the defence.
The Jury rendered verdict OF not guilty,
and the prisoners were discharged from GUS
to,iy. After the trial OF this case the court
adjourned until the first Monday In July next.
This sudden and most unexpected termination
of the session was occasioned by the discovery
of very recent act Of Assembly, changing
the time for holding court. Hereafter the
Circuit Court of York County will be held on
the first Monday In March, July and NoVem-
Der. The term just ended was illegal, and ltR
proceedings are null and void.
