MISSOURI REPUBLICAN,
A FIRST Class News and
Family journal.

THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN is prepared
to enter upon another journalistic year with re-
newed vigor and enterprise. We have recently
added to our establishment all the latest improve
ments in the printing business, including the
ias est presses and the most complete machinery
in the world We have likewise secured ex ra-
ordinary facilities for the collection of the news,
ii all important quarters, and for its prompt
transmission by telegraph. Our foreign and do
nestle correspondence has been increased, and
our editorial ass stance augmented. The RE-
PUBLICAN now feels able to compete with any
newspaper in the United States in the extent
and variety Of its news, the freshness of its
respondence, the soundness and dignity of its
editorials, the reliability of its financial intel-
gence, the character of its Literary, Local and
miscellaneous features, and in short the various
departments embraced in u first class news and
family Journal.
The REPUBLICAN,, as political paper, is
fearless and independent advocate Liberal Dem
cratic pr inciples. 1t is hound, however, by no
party ties to Tie support of unworthy men, n IF
by party discipline to any action it may deem un-
wise or impoltic. Its utteranccs will echo the
sentiments of the popular masses as far as they
can be asccrtained. Its main platform will be the
interest Of the people of the Mississippi Valley,
and it will seek to encourage imng gration, to de-
velop natural resources, to promote improvement,
to advance Agriculture, Manufactures anu Min
ing, to cultivate the economic arts, to elevate the
standard OF general intelligence and morals 1t
will sudiously strive, as in the past, to avoid
sensational and prurient journalism, and will
without sacrificing spice and piquancy, aim to
make itself worthy OF admission into the purest
circles.
The WEEKLY hEPUBLICAN will contain
the cream of the DAILY ISSUES, CONDENSED AyD
COLLECTED EXPRESSLY FOR THE COUNTRY, and con
tanning the LATEST NEWS up to the time cf going
to press. 1t will also be enlivened with vari-
ety of misc 0 llaneous matter, and by features of
interest to he found only in tins paper.

The OTHER SiDE-Wc made the
statement last week upon represent ta,ions
made US that the hands on the 81. Louis
Hannibal and Ksekuk railroad in this
county had not been paid full wages,
aud that tho paymaster was very tardy
about making the payments, no. arriving
here until the latter part of the month
instead Of the fifteenth. In doing so we
did not intend to reflect upon the ability
OF the company to meet its payments,
but as mere hins that more promptness
on their pare would better please all con.
cernsd. MIR. Horton, one Of tho engi.
neers Of the company, has since placed
US in possession Of information that
vathsr veasots credit than otherwise upon
the management Of the officers. The
laborers, he says, were all paid full wages,
but that in one, or probably two, in.
stances, the tie contractors did not re.
esivs pay for all the ties furnished by
them because of some discrepancy in the
estimates, and that they were put off
until this matter could DO satisfactorily
arranged, Mr.. Buchanan, the careful and
efficient paymaster, not wishing to pay
out the cenpsny's money on doubtful
estimates, IN which he 10 quite correct.
The reason be was not here on the regu
lar pay day, the fifteenth, is also very
plausible, and also shows his watchful
carefulnsss. He has to commence pay
ing the hands on the 10Th of each month,
starting at Hannibal and arriving here as
soon after as possible, and it will be seen
by what follows that it is aim ost impossi
bic for him to say for certain what day
that may be. The money is paid to the
hands on the estimates, or pay rolls, of
the sub contractors, aud in most instan.
css there is little or no system displayed
by them in making out these payrolls
The consequence is that the paymaster
has to revise and correct them, which
detains him at some points two or three
days, when one day would suffice if the
pay rolls were properly made out. 1t
will be seen at once that injustice 20
both the laborers and the company
might ensue if great care were not taken
in this, matter of fully as much i'm
portance as being here at an early day.
This drawback might be remedied in a
manner, by the company furnishing the
sub contractors with blank pay rolls and
directions how to make them out.

HR1hR

In the House of Re, resenta-
tives, Monday, Mir. Burchard,
from the Committee of Ways aud
Means, introduced an important
bill, designed to regulate the de-
post of the public moneys III
National Banks. The bill pro-
vided that whenever the Score
'tary of the Treasury shall desig-
nate a Natlonal Banks as deposit
tories for the reception of the
proceeds of loans authorized by
law, such funds shall not be per-
mitted to remain on deposit for
a longer period than ninety days,
nor without security to the full
amount of such deposite and i'm
mediateIy upon or before the is
sue of any bonds thus subscribed
for, the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall publish legal notice for
the presentation and redemp-
ton of an equal amount of the
bonds required by existing bonds
when redeemed.
1t Is understood that this bill
was introduced at the suggestion
OF the Secretary of the Treasury
who expressed a desire, that if
there was any doubt az to his
authority to use the machinery
of the National Banks as hereto
fore employed. express authority
might be given him by direct
legislation, 1t is urged that
without the enactment of a law
like this, there is practically no
limit to the time these bonds can
be kept on deposit.
In connection with this subject
it is officially stated that there
are now several responsible Ger
man bankers who are anxious
to negotiate for taking the bal
ance of the tour and one-half and
five per cent. bonds now already
