THE OLAGETT-TURNER TROUBLE.

EDITOR INrELLIGENCER:-It appears that the
contest betw Clsgstt and Turner is not ended,
but that it Is now assuming, q: shape. that will
introduce this trouble in all departments or the
city government, and also into the courts Of the
sountry. 1t promises now, il 1t il not arrested,
to entirely stop the machinery of tho city gov
eminent, to the great injury OF the city's inter-
ssts rs well a. the Interests of many private
parties. Now can this be averted lit can be,
is 1t not the duty of thoss who are in authority
TO do &C? Let US lay aside all feeling and polit-
ical bias and look at this trouble in the light Of
law, and in the light of business and common
sense. '
Tbs city council is II legally constituted body.
The members OF 1t were legally elected, and
now hold their places without doubt. This
body has charge of all matters Of BUSINESS per-
talning to the city. Nothing can be done with
out its order or approval. and every other de-
%partment is under its control, 40 long AS it acts
within its proper sphere. Among other things
the council may order improvements 10 be made
and when completed can allow the accounts
and order warrants therefor. and it IS the duty
OF the mayor to sign the warrants when SO
ordered. The Register announces that Mayor
John will not sign the warrants ordered by the
council. because Mr.. Clagett was recognized as
city register by the council. Let mo AJAX Mayor
John how does the reeoInftion of Clagett in any
manner AFFECT the yalidlty or leg ality Of any
allowance by the counctftor the Indebtedness
of the city7 Is 1t not the duty>of the city TO pay
Its debts regardless of who may be acting q.
register? Is the recognition OF Glsgett as regis
ter. even ifhe was placed in position wropgfully.
y legal bar to the ordinary transaction. OF the
business Of the city? Ide notthink that there i.
\ lawyer here who woufdpretend to believe it,.
The council orders improvements to be made,
the citizens having faith in the ability and in
teRrity of the oity authorities, contraction the
work, and when furnished. present their claims
10 whcm7 Certainly not to The mayor for he
has no authority to audit and pay them. But
to the council where the allowance is made.
The mayor refuses to sign the warrants because
he believes the acting register is not u properly
authorized person to countersigu them and thus
the worthy lahoring. IMAM II dcprixedaor his
Just pay.
hope the mayor will duly consider this mat
ter. A little good Judgment and 9 'und discre-
ton on his part now will put an end to the strife
that is about to be engendsrsd. Let him con-
slider that eUen II Ctd0ett ras ,~cron0Iulty
pat in office, it was not done by any act OF his.
nor Is he in any way responsible for it. Let
HIM also reflect that ne is required by law 10
sign warrants In payment OF all legal and just
drbA si the city. 1t matters not who NAV be
the register ofthe city. PEACE.

FOR q. s. SENATOR.

GFrom the Warrensburg. Mo-. Signal. Friday.
October %
Our greenback exchanges seem to be so engag-
ed in the present csmpaIgn that they have moth
ing to say in regard to the nomination the Sig
nal made a few weeks ago.
But We shall continues TO urge the name of Geo.
Wilson, Tor the U. S. senatorshlp from now until
the next general assam aly.
We do this, not because any person has re-
quested us 10 do so ,or that We want to force Mr..
Wilson forward. contrary to the wishes OF
our greenback friends, but simply because We
recognize him as II man who is worthy to wear
the mantle of a ". S. senator, and one that, not
alone Missourians, but the whole people will
delight to honor.
A man who has acknowledged brain over
and yet q mani; man Of the people,, who is one
of them. A man who beng wealthy. and yet,
We're he poor. would be no less = man. In a
word. he is. in every sense fully rounded man
as God would haze all mankind to be.
such is George Wilson, the candidate OF the
Signal for United States senator.
how do you like him?
Geo. Wilson is q candidate, and q
democrat.

The most difficult position in the
gift of the governor to fill we'll is
warden of the penitentiary. The
control of this institution involves
the management OF nillion dol
lars worth of permanent property,
thousands of dollars worth of manu-
Pictured goods, v 1,2OO prisoners,
aud nearly Il hundred off Pris-
on management has come to be a scl-
euce, and there are but few men who
possess the executive ability, the bus
mess qualifications, and the peculiar
tact which are necessary 10 command
success in il. A careful observation
Of the prison of tE.is state has satlst-
ed US that Col. John Il. Willis, the
present warden. is the right man in
the right place, and we think it
would be a misfortune it the change
Of administrations should cause him
to be removed. Under his charge
the penitentiary, which used to be d
great expense. has been made almost
self sustaining. Its industry is bet
ter organized than it ever was before,
and its discipline leaves nothing to
be desired. The health of the prison-
ers is good ; they are well fed and
well treated. Morality is inculcated
by books, papers, and the preaching
of the gospel, and so far as it is pos
slble to do, the prison is made u re-
formatory Institution. Col. Willis is
a keen, shrewd, energetic man, who
gives all his talent and ability to the
discharge of his duties. His pride is
in his work, and he does it we'll. 1t
is unfortunate that the p~enitentiary
should be in politics at alias when
the state gets a good wardeni it should
keep him. and we hope that Cover
nor Crittenden will make the state
secure, during his administration,
from any more complications because
Of it's penal institution by coutinutifg
