Emigrants from the East to Texas sometimes
go by way of Columbus, Ky., and Charleston,
Mo. The emigrant Car gets into Charleston
at s A. NJ, where it is side-tracked, to await
the O'Clock p. NJ. train from Cairo, which
takes it to its destination. From in the
moruing until 3 N the afternoon the emigrants
are free to look about them and take In the
beauties of nature in that re lion, and it some
times happens that the unsophisticated travel
ers are .'taken in," too. A lot of dead-beats
gathered there, as crows congregate about the
newly planted cornfeld-for the purpose of
bunkoing the unsuspecting; and more than
one poor emierant, after a short season of
wrestling with these devourers of the uuwary,
has found himself deprived of the little SUBJ
stance intended to give him "a start'' in the
land of promise. The other day the citizens
of Charleston got wind of these matters, and
last Wednesday night they pouneed down up
on the bunko men, took them, bound them,
gave them each a hundred lashes, we'll laid on,
and then gave them fifteen minutes to clear
out. The bunko game down there is busted,
the operators have fed, and the emigrant car
no longer is besiesed by them. May the good
people OF Charleston live long and prosper!

Death Of Waiter II. Harenner.

Walter r. Havenncr died in Leadville, Col
orado. of Pneumonia, on the 18th instant"
Theaboveis the beief announcement, with
out previous noticeof indisposition or illness,
of the demise of one near and dear to u.s.
The deceased is the youngest son of Mrs.
NJ. c. Haveaner. now of Baltimore, and of
the late Thomas H. Hayenner, of Washing
ton City, and grandson of the late Rev.
Norval Wilson of this town-agcd 26 years.
For four years past he has been resident of
the far West-for awhile engaged upon Uni
ted States Surveying Expeditions in Wye
ming and Colorado, but for most of the time
pursuing the profession ola journalism the
latter State. first as chief of the editorial
staff of the Denver Duly Democrat and sub
sequcntly, aud at the time of his death, ofthe
editorial and reportorial staff of the Lead
Vile DAILY E'rcaiag Times. He welded a
:acile pcn-wasa fine writer-terse and torci-
bic and graceful in his editorial productions,
political and otherwise, and graphic in his
delincation of character and of the country
trayersed by him, as we'll as of the scenes in
cident to border life. His writings have
graced some ofthe best papers of the country,
whilst the author was unknown to the inter-
ested reader. He was bright, genial, gcner-
GUS and magnetic, the soul of honor and the
embodiment Of genuine manhood. From
infancy to the years of maturity he has been
the object Of the tenderest love and affection;
and the tidings so suddenlyand unexpected
" received of his death so far distant from
home and relatives, and his remains TO re-
cciye sculpture at the hands only of friendly
strangers upon the bleak and rugged heights
of his adopted home, where the yiolets and
the daisies are unknown and the grasses ne
yer grow to keep graves green, is an almost
crushing blow TO mother, brother and sister
and an indoscri5able sorrow to fond friends
and relatives.

It is presumed that all good citizens are de-
sir0as Of selecting the 6sst mn IN the dis

one of the most important that ever met
The imporsanceof a representative with ex-
perieaee, distinction, and ability, must be
apparent 10 all In looking over the whole

t. and his reputation rs brillial, orator.
We all know him and honor and love him.
His reputation is not circumscFlbed By the
narrow limits Of q State o. section, but Il u

Has any one ever done more for his sec
