ton Of township organizations in this county,
when you was petitioned to do so by several
hundred petitioners, and the law says that when
one hundred petitioners petition for an election,
that the Court shall order the election. Now,
sirs, when the people of Rochester township
petitioned for a railroad election, the majority
of the Court claimed that they were compelled
TO order the election; but In this case, where
the law Is the same, and says they shall order
an election, the Court lays it over and fails to
order the election. And why? Sirs, simply
because one certain member of your Court was
strenuously opposed to the adoption Of that law,
and he says he will fight the adoption Of that
law. But let me tell your members of that
Court that the people Of Andrew county will
adopt that law in spite of his opposition. 1 do
not like some parts of the law, but take it as a
whole, it shows a little progress, and let us
adopt 1t, for probably il is the best we can get
at present, and the adoption of this law will
bring the business directly before the people in
each township, and the people can manage their
affairs to suit themselves. And now, in conclu-
sion, let me say to your Honorable Court that
do not write this letter for political gain, for
I am not a candidate for any Office, this coming
campaign, but 1 shall do all that lies in my
power to help to elect the Republican ticket this
fall, with Grant and Wilson at our head. No
white hat for me. Respectfully,
ID. B0NHAM, JR.

ANOTHER PIONEER GoNE.-DEATH OF ELDER
PRINCE L. HUDGEys.-It is our painful duty, this
morning, TO announce the death Of another of the
pioneers Of the Platte Purchase. Elder Prince l..
Hudgens died at his residence in Savannah yes
tertay morning, At o'clock, after long and
painful illness.
Elder Hudsens was as extensively known
throughout northwest Missouri as any man in the
state. He was born in Kentucky, AND came to
Missouri in lo3e, and settled in Savannah, Andrew
county, and engaged in the practice of the law.
he at one time represented Andrew county in
the state legislature, and was also member Of
the state convention in 1851. Shortly after the
breaking ont Of the war he removed to St. Louis
and remained there until a couple of years ago,
when he returned to Andrew county, where be
resided until his death.
Elder Hudgens was a man of great natural
ability and decided force of character. He was
one Of the most prominent and effective diyines
OF the Christian church, and the latter years of
his life were devoted almost entirely to his min
isferial duties. The news of his death will be
read with profound regret by thousands in the
Platte purchase.-St Joseph Gazette, 9Th.

II On the eve of the assembling of the Phila-
delphia Convention, Senator SUMNER delivered
his blast against GRANT, which he evidently con-
sidered a crusher. He was replied to by Senators
LOGAN and CARPENTER, who sent him as good as
he gave-indeed, CARPENTER took the starch
completely ont of SUMMERS egotistical TRADE.
To crown all, the Convention went ahead and
coolly nominated GRANT, just the same as if SUM-
NER had never ordered them not to; and, with
still greater insolence, placed SUMMERS more pop
ular colleague on the ticket for the yice-Presi-
dency.

GRANT AND GRKKIEY RHBxIalThe Doniphan
Herald copies IN item, and credits il to the En-
fe9vsss (whatever or wherever that paper is) to
the enect that Gen. LONGsTREEr and some other
ex-rebels are for GRANT, and winds up with the
remark that Sol MILLER had better say that all
the rebels and bushwhackers are for GREELEY.
Sol MILLER knows what he says, and says it
nDderstsndingly. There are two classes Of rebels.
They are all whipped, but large proportion are
hoping and hooking for = time when they can re-
bel again, and dol successfully. They are not
sorry nor repentant; they are the actors or abet-
tom in Ku Kluxiem; and they are the ones who
have retarded the restoration of Law and order in
the South. These men will be found, almost to a
man, for GREELEY, if the Baltimore Convention
does not give them orders otherwise. There is
another class of rebels who fought their best du-
ring the rebellion, and acknowledged that they
were beaten. They accept the situation, and are
anxious to promote peace, good will, and prosper
ity, throughout the country. These are generally
in favor of GRANT.
Then, there is another class, that we might call
Union rebels. They lived in the North, and were
rebels at heart, but went into the Union army
some from fear, some from policy, and some to
make money. Ti-ese are generally arrayed under
the GREELEY banner, and point to themselves to
prove that soldiers are opposed to GRANT.

~ JOHN B. HENDERSON, of Missouri, was
delegate in the Philadelphia Convention. 1t is
much better to recover from false step by
straightforward and honest after life, than to be-
come sour, and turn the hack on friends and prin-

did, who voted with HENDERSON to save ANDY
JOHNSON from his just deserts.
