Order

The proceedings generally in the conven-
ton yesterday were characterized by good
order. but there are some members who
need checking. 1t is not necessary to stand
all the time of the session and call 'Mr.
President" on every motion to prevent the
convention from forgetting SO loud mem
Der as he on the left.
And the gentleman on the right, being
capable of controlling opinion on important
matters, and who shapes the policy OF
large portion of the party, would gain more
credit if he allowed more insignificant
members to mako insignificant motions or
count noses. Besides, it might keep them
still little while.
And the two intense pariiamen tarians Of
the centre would be less of hindrance to
the progress of business if they did not
make so many motions, which they invaria-
bly, withdraw when they comprehend the
question. A second thought at first would
do no harm.
A few other gentlemen, who, if they can
not speak, will at any rate sta nd up, can
be furnished with chairs on app LEGATION to
the sergeant-at-arms.
These are only suggestions, but as the
Speaker of the House used to say: sit will
be necessary to call the gent eman's name
unless he comes to order"

PERSONAL.

The cotton dealers of other cities are
focking to st. Louis. Our horizon looks
bright and promising to them; our position
is good, our climate healthful, and our peo-
pie energetic and prosperous. These are
great attractions, and it is no great wonder
that we are pulling in business men from all
quarters.
Mr.. j. M. Jordan, for twenty -fonr years
a leading cotton broker OF New orleans,
and one Of the genuine experts in cotton,
came to St. Louis en- route for Europe, put
upon becoming fully acquainted with our
magnificent prospects for next year IN the
cotton trade, hired an office, and has gone
back to New Orleans to close up his con-
Germs there, and settle permanently as
cotton broker of st. Louis. He is one of
the best classers 10 this country, and will
find abundant work to do here during the
coming season,
Mr. Alfred G. Reynolds. cotton dealer
of Mobile, Alabama, has sold out his in
terests there, moved to st. Louis, and has
formed @ copartnership with Phelps,
Brothers, of this city.
Messrs. Naughton, Slaughter & Co., of
New York. have concluded to transfer
their Memphis cotton house of Pittman
Brothers to st. Louis. and have taken COM
modious rooms on Main street
General Busbrod johnson, celebrated
Confederate officer, has determined to es-
tablish a cotton receiving house here. Our
old friend John Hatch is to be connected
with him.
1t will be seen from the above "person-
ais" and those previously reported IN
these columns, that the old cotton handlers
of other and larger receiving points have
abundant faith in st. Louis as future cot
ton market.-.St Louis Democrat.

Arc Railroads Liable Z

The Protection Life Insurance Company
brings suit against the Chicago and Alton
Railroad Company, laying damages at
$4,000 The bill sets forth that complain
ant insured the life of one John w. Smith
in 1872 for $4,000, and that, through the
carelessness of defendant, the insured was
killed at Sag Bridge August l6, 1878, which
circumstance compelled the insurance COM
pany to pay the amount above named, be-
sides depriving it of the profits which would
otherwise have arisen from the policy.
Wherefore it brings out suit as above. This
is a novel action, and on its decision will
hang q vast amount of money; for if it is
decided that the railroads are not only re-
snonsible to the heirs of the persons killed,
but to other persons and corporations suf-
fering pecuniary loss by their acts, there
will Be innumerable suits by life insurance
companies to recover. The result of the
case will be watched with interest.
