We do not see the Kansas City Journ-
al, but we understand that it speaks Of
Mi. Alexander Graves as an obscure
country lawyer OF limited ability, or
words-to that effect. The progress of
the canvas will probably settle in the
minds OF the people the respective ac-
q%uirements and natural talents of the
editor. of the Journal, Col. VanHorn.
and The democratic nominee for con-
gress. In the mean time we are safe in
saying that Mr.. Graves name stands
higher as an advocate before the SUI
preme court of Missouri, than does that
of Col. VanHorn as a legislator at WASH
ington. The colonel, II he is competent
to make laws. should at least be a stu
dent OF law, whether he is a practicing
attorney or not, and SO confident do We
feel in the candidate whom we have
presented to jackson county, that we
will agree to decide the competency of
the two men before the most eminent
examiners whose services can be pro-
cured, as to their English, classical, and
mathematical education, and especially
as to their knowledge of constitutional,
statutory and common law. This seems
to US to be a fair offer. If the colouel's
competency is very marked this CON-
petltive examination will afford him an
opportunity of displaying some
thing which he has so far signallY failed
to do, unaess his services on Jay. Hub
BELLS blackmailing committee are an
evidence of statespanship, and we
have Geo. VIM. Curtis and Carl
Schurz' assertions that they are just the
reverse. 1t wouldn't be a bad idea,
anyhow, to test the accurate information
OF some men who aspire to seats in con-
gress, and we are free to confess at the
outset that we should. out of pity, be
inclined to expect very little of any
man who could indorse Keller as
speaker, or quietly endure the
leadership of Robson. BY all means
let the two gentlemen stand COMPETE
tive examination as TO their qualifica-
tons IT the colonel will submit to
no other he will hardly, we should
thi, <, decline to meet his opponent on
the stump. The arbitrators there NAV
not all have ponderous stomachs cov-
cred with black velvet and gold chains,
but they will none the less be first rate
iudg ,s of who is the better. man Of the
two. and we shall then see how tar dis.
courteous depreciation of a gentlemanly
opponent will 60 toward securing a seat
in congress.

township bonds in Lexington and
Washington townships will take place
next Saturday. They should not be
allowed to 60 by default. It would be
a calamity to the townships to fail to
vote for the compromise.
