NOT JUDGE MAYO.

A body was found in the Mississippiriver
opposite St. Louis last Tuesday and was
reported BY the papers next morning to
be that Of Judge Mayo. 1t wss however
identified next day as the body of ST.
Louis man who disappeared about the last
of April. The RPubtioan says:
Yesterday afternoon a Mr.. Edwards visited
the morgue and viewed the body OF the
stranger who was taken from the river at the
foot OF lafayette street last Tuesday and in
whose case SO much interest centres. As has
been stated, there were those who believed
the man TO be Judge Mayo, but Mr.. Edwards
almost At nrst sight, declared the corpse TO
be that of Geo. A. Magwire, who disappeared
20 suddenly on the night of April IS, after
making some remarks which, as afterward
interpreted, pointed to suicide.
The coroner was at once notified of the rec
oguition, and, to make sure, he at once sent
up for Mt. John Magwire. the aged father of
the missing man. The old gentleman
came down, went to the morgue, and, at n
glance, recognized his son. He could tell.
mot only by his clothing, but by the outlines
a the face, the individual featurs and one or
two marks. To leave no doubt, he gave a
description OF all the keys which were on q
ring that his son carried, and the ring being
as hs described. The old gentleman was COM
pleeely overcome by the dread discovery,
N spats Of the fact that he had suspected this
vory fnte ever since his son disappeared. The
seens was certainly . very sad one. An or

The Kinsley Leader says that Col. ID. Il. An
thony is favorably spoken of as a candidate
for Congress from the First District. Col. An
thony is a very strong man and would make
an able representative, bul the First District
should act wisely and place their best men
where they will do the most good. Keep Col.
Philips in Congress and Col. Anthony in tAe

The foregoing paragraph expresses our
sentiments upon the Congressional question
exactly. The good old adage of "every
man to his trade" applies in this case. Col.
Phillips has demonstrated by five years of
honest and industrious service that he is
able to do more good for his district and
State than any new man that could be
chosen in his place, and We are convinced
that the public will not regard it as an ex-
aggeraiion of the truth if We say that the

Before Mr.. Baker can consistently he pre-

must make known his position upon the

chosen chairman, and s Stanton, secretary
The Chairman explained the object of the
meeting, whereupon, Mr.. +. f. Hallenbeck
and Mr.. +. Gress were elected delegates and
Mr.. George Townson and Mr.. J. Carter al
ternates.
On motion the delegates and alternates
were called upon to give their views as to
the propriety of the denomination of Geo.
7. Anthony and Col. Phillips. Mr.. Gress
stated, unreseryedly, that he was in favor
OF the denomination of Col. Phillips, and
more emphatically that he was opposed to
George T. Anthony. Mr.. f. L. Hallen-
beck, in brief speech, gave oogent reasons
why Col. Phillips should be renomina-
ted, giving n brief sketch of his labors in
Congress. lie also gave, what the conyen-
ton considered good and sufficient reasons,
why Il. L. Anthony should be retired to the
shades of private life.
Among other things the Governors entire

Mr.. III. said that the man who would stie-
matize the laborers as an OK, or one whose
sensibilities were blunted and warped oy

was fool, or else ,woefully misjudged the
idea OF self-rcspect entertained by the labor
ing man.
The alternates also followed after the
same strain, after which a number of
individuals spoke, all echoing the:S Ssame
sentiments.
On motion OF S. 7. Hass, it was resolved
that the delegates to the District Conven-
rion be instructed TO vote for no delegates
TO the Congressional Convention, who
would not pledge themselves TO use their
utmost endeavor TO secure the denomination
of Col. Phillips.
On motion OF Mr.. William Maginnis, it
was unanimously resolved that they be in
structed to vote for no delegate TO the Stale
Convention who would not vote against the
denomination of Governor Anthony, first,

The following circular, issued by the

of Mexican and trade dollars, explains why
these coins, which contain more siver than
the legal tender dollar, are at discount,
and contains other interesting information
in regard to the value OF silver bullion:

received at the Mints, the following informa.
tion is furnished:
Section SJSi, Revised Statutes United States,
declares that mo foreign gold or silver coins
shall be n legal tender in the Payment oi

price OF silver; at the present price Of silver
bullion it is worth about 91.S cents, in gold
per piece Its circulation as money in the
United States is optional, and at whatever
value may be agreed upon.
The United states trade dollar also is not
legal tender, and, therefore, has only bull
lion value.
The standard silver dollar being legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, is receiv.
ed at par at all Government offices in pay
ment of dues, differing in this respect from
the Mexican and trade dollars which are not
received.
