BRUTAL OUTRAGE.

The meanues3 and duplicity of
some men are ineXhaustible. an IL
I%ustration of this fact is shown in the
shooting of a valuable bird dog, be-
longing to j. W. Thompson, living
one mile south of Benton City, this
county.
On Friday last, a man passing t1e
premises of Mr.. Thompson, had his
attention attracted by the sight of a
dog some distance ahead. The dog,
which had followed his master from
the field, but being some distance be-
hind, came up wagging his tail, when
this inhuman wretch drew q pistol
and shot him dead.
This dog, being a valuable n and
belonging o Charles Thompson, Ia
son of j. W. Thompson,) who is now
i'll the southern part of the State,
causes the family to regret his loss.
The man who did this deed is de-
scribed as wearing a white patch
over his right eye, medium size, light
or sandy hair, and riding a chestnut
sorrel horse. L.

ID. H. MCINTYRE NEXT SPEAK.
Err OF THE HOUSE.

Az the state exchanges come in we
learn the names of New candidates
ftr. Speaker of the Legislature. There
gafe now, we believe, five candldatet-
Campbell, of St. Louis; Belch, of
Cole; Wiley, of Randolph; McIn-
tyre, Of Audrain, and Dougherty, of
Clay. d. IL. Mcintyre has had more
legislative experience than any of
the others named, having served IN
the Senate and Lower House for sew
eral terms. He is a fine pariiamen-
tartan. and a clear-headed, cool, con-
servative gentleman. He is supposed
to favor Hardin for the United States
Senate. In point of ability, he will
probably not have an equal in the
Legislature elect.-St. Louis Times
Journal.
We notice that a number of our X
changes are presenting the name Of
Hon. D. Ii. Mcintyre. Of Audrain, as
a fl person to be speaker of the next
Missouri house Of Representatives.
Mr.. Mcintyre is one of the foremost
men OF the state, and the Leader
would experience no regret at seeing
him elected to that responsible posi-
tion.-Osage Leader.
Capt. Mcintyre is in every way
qualified for this position. We are
glad to see that his merit is a~pprecia-
ted by the press, as we feel it will
he by his fellow members when a
speaker is to be elected. The LEDGER
nominated Capt. Mcintyre, and we
are glad TO see the press throughout
the state endorse our motion.

as it should be. We cannot COM
plain. We could not be true 10 the
farmers interest without provoking
the hostility of the rabid partisan
press. Let them proceed. Those
who are paid 60 do the dirty work for
politicians are expected to earn their
money. Fire away, gentlemen; as
long as you can endure the recoil of
the weapon, the ~projectiles certainly
give us no uneasiness. Dun course
is marked out and we shall pursue
the even tenor of our way without
devoting our space to advertising I'M
worthy sheets by a controversy void
of prlnciple.-St. Jourual of Agri-
culture.
The gent that wrote the above is
the same one that did so much dirty
work. against Buckner during the
late campaign. We don't know
whether he was paid for it or not;
guess not, by the way he squeals
now. We don't need any of his adj

THE COINAGE OF GOLD

IbE COiNAth of WILL
during the last fiscal year was $751;
79S, $50. The coinage ofsilver dol
lars under the act passed February
20, 1873, amounted on the Esd of
November, 1873, to $40, 814, $50, of
which amount 81, 9S4, 947 are in cir
culation, and the balance, S14.829.-
603, is still in the possession of the
government.
SILVER COINAGE.
With views unchanged with regard
to the act under which the coinage of
silver proceeds. it has been the pur-
pose of the Secretary faithfully to
execute the law and to afford o fair
trial to the measure. In the present
financial condition of the country l
am persuaded that the welfare of le-
gitimate business and industry of
every description will be best pro-
NOTED by abstaining from attempts to
to make radical changes in the exist
ing financial legislation. Let it be
understood that during the coming
year the business of the country will
be undisturbed by governmental IN
reference with the laws affecting it
and we may confidently expect that the
resumption Of specie payments, which
will take place at the appointed time.
will be successfully and easily main
