The show season is again upon US and

IS nevertheless TACT, that the money in

ly four hundred thousand dollarp. It is,
however, a paying investment, and the
Robinsons, have no need 10 regret their
embarkation in the business. The daily
expenses, when on the road, average near.
ly $4,000 per day, and 1t will therefore be
seen that in order to make money, an im.

IfDunn were Nominated, W hat
Then?

Although no one seems to have any
IDEA that there is any serious danger
of Dunn getting the nomination for
Congress, it may be well to consider
what would be the result, if such an
extremely improbable event should
happen. That his nomination would
place the Democratic party of the
District squarely on the record as the
anti-Temperance or whisky party,
everybody admits, as his only claim
rests upon his self-assumed position
as the great champion of the Whisky
Ring. Would the honest Temper
ance Democrats, of whom we are
glad to say the number is not few,
and is steadily increasing in these
latter days, consent to support such
a candidate? Certainly not. The
result would be q combination be-
tween them and the Republicans, on
some good Temperance Democrat,
Qike Gen. Mcdowell, for instance,)
who would consent to run indepen-
dent, and Dunn would be beaten so
badly that he would never be heard
of again as a candidate for Office.
He would be most efectually and
emphatically sqase1ched, or he would
deserve to be.

Business Prospects.

The Cincinnati Gazette takes a
hopeful view of the future, as fol-
lows:-
The year 1874 is likely to be
marked as one of great abundance.
This will prove far better than cur
rency initiation. The financial CEN
tres are glutted with money. In
New York capital on call at 2@3 per
cent per annum, and in Cincinnati
money was never more plenty or
cheap than at present. The scarcity
of borrowers is evidence of fstagnation
in business, of course; but good crops
will start the machinery ofcommerce,
and, money being plenty, the pro-
ducts of the harvest will promptly
be moved, and those who do not get
ready for lively autumn trade will
make great mistake. Whatever
the country may have done in the
way of overtrading heretofore, it has
been undertaking since last Octo-
ber It has been taking account of
stock for eight months, and settling
up. Goods are consequently in light
supply everywhere. Manufactures
have been on short time, and con-
SINNERS have used up their supplies.
At the same time spectators have
been idle. With the incoming of the
new harvest this season of inactivity
must end, and then we shall expert
ence a resumption of active business.
The prospects are that the next COM
mercial year will be one of ihe most
prosperous ever experienced in this
country.

Hand ii ROunl.

The West Union Defender comes
out in favor of the one term princi-
pie for Congressman in this district.
The points it makes for it are sail
ent and worthy of consideration.
We have five counties in the district,
and by allowing one term, or two
years, to each county, for the ten
years, each viii have a member of
Congress during the time. Another
fact we would mention, which is,
that for the last twenty-one years,
under the Constitution of 1852, but
one Democrnt has had two terms in
Congress, ssssd t5Aaat was Mr.. White.
DR.. Ellsberry had but one nomina-
ton, Mr.. Ellison had two nomina-
tions, but was defeated the second
time by Mr.. Emrie, but was refused
another nomination that he might
have two terms. Col. Cockeril had
but one term, Col. Howard had but
one term, and Gen. Denver had but
one nomination, &c. Hence the rule,
or at least the practice, has been
with the Democracy to give but one
term, and two terms has been the
exception. The Defender goes for
handing the Congressman round, and
we do not know but that would be q
good practice. Since great and ex-
perienced statesmen are not in great
demand in this day of grace, and the
pay is ample for almost any one
likely to reach that position, perhaps
it would be well to stick to the
one term. Not that we send an in
ferior class of statesmen from this
district, for we believe ours compare
favorably with those of any other dis
tricts In this State, but that we have
so many of them, and we, in our
kindness of heart, would be glad to
accommodate as many of them as
possible. Let Democrats consider
this matter.

The Hillsboro Gazette, the ''home
organ" of that noble whisky martyr,
William Henry Harrison Dunn, does
MT like ''Mot's" letter about its can
didate, which appeared in the Regis
ter several weeks since. Mot's re-
marks cut to the quick. We imagine
that he came as near painting Dunn
in his proper colors as could be done
by anyone else in the same space
and the Hillsboro Gazette, not being
able 70 eentrovert Mot's points, tries
to get revenge by attacking the Reg
lister. It crushes us by remarking
that "spicy' letters written to revile
such choice Democrat as Dunn
''don't generally carry much weight
where they are intended to strike,
especially when published in such
sheets as the Chilhcothe Register"
Ordinarily we would not care to
be called "sheet," notwithstanding
the whitening amount of contempt
contained in the word; but to be thus
termed by so poor an apology for a
paper as Dunn's Own, is rather too
severe, and we are free to say that
we don't like it. 1t is too much like
a dead ass kicking at a live lion

Correspondence of the News.
Letter from the Southwest.
NoRTHyIFw. Mo. J11ne 1874


Railway travel, while it offers a
convenient and rapid means of loco
motion, often affords but poor op-
portunity to judge of the resources
of country. This is especially true
OF the Atlantic & Pacific r. r. From
st. Louis to F'ranklin-a distance of
364 miles-its track comedies with
that of the Mo. Pacific road. The
greater part of its course, for the
next $50 or 200 miles, hes through a
very broken and uninviting region.
Following this dividing ridge, the
cultivated valleys are left on either
hand Creeping slowly up the noun
tain-side, or winding along the ridges,
the traveller gets occasional glimpses
of them, soon shut off by the inter-
vening brushwood or the perpen-
dieular walls of some rocky gorge.
An eight months sojourn in Web
ster county-224 miles southwest of
st. Louis-has, to some extent, IA
miliarized me with the physical fea-
lures and social status of the middle
and western portion of it. 1t is not
a great farming country. These
broken Ozark ridges, unfenced, COW
cred with sharp stones, and heavily
over grown with scrub-oaks and
brush, would be difficult to bring
under proper cultivation. The val
leys on either side of us contain we'll
improved farms. Some corn is raised,
though it is not corn country by
any means. The great staples are
wheat and tobacco. The tall, hewed-
log tobacco-barns are q character
istic feature of the landscape. Farm
ers have realized as high as $500
from a single acre of tobacco, but
800 per acre would be considered
good average, and probably the ac-
tual average is not over S75.
The drought and the chinch-bugs
produced a partial failure of the
crops last season, and during the
past spring feed has been very scarce.
Corn ran up to 81 and meal S110
and S1.25 per bushel. Thus far we
have not lacked rain when needed
The present prospect is for an abund-
ant wheat-harvest. An unusual guam
tity was sown last fall. Isaw farm
a few weeks ago containing about
three hundred acres of wheat. Fruit
succeeds well.
These Ozark hills ara very healthy,
though ague is not uncommon m
the valleys and along the streams
But the country lacks enterprise,
and the moral and religious standard
IS low The grand Temperance
movement, that is making itself felt
from Boston to San Francisco, has
not reached us here I fear there is
not the moral stamina to sustain it.
Till public sentiment and the Press
are purified, the car of Progress
must move slowly.

in favor of the adoption of the New
Constitution, with the license clause
attached Ex-Lieutenant Governor
Mueller and Hon. Thomas Ewing
were the speakers-the former a Re
publican and the latter a Democrat.
General Ewing in his address, aimed
to establish the following PROPOSE
tions:
1. 1t 1.-THE new Constitution will
give better and more efficient Ju-
dietary.
2. 1t will give us purer Govern
ment.
3. 1t will give us a cheaper Gov
ernment.
4. 1t puts wholesome restraints
on private corporations.
The affirmative of all these propo-
sitions, we think, was clearly estab-
ished by the speaker.
