There app BARS to be an unfortunate
misunderstanding among the Demo
serats af the Tenth Congressional Dis.
sFiettreepecting their congressional con-
rssentaen. In calling the district cent
cal committee t@gether, at De Soto,
there seems to ha We been, by inadver-
fence, perhaps. q disagreement in the
notices received by different commit
ksemen. a portion were notified to
meet on the Sth and others on the 10th
of July. dn eonsequ ence of this, or
for want Of any notice at all, four
counties-Iron. st. Francois, st. Gene
We've and Rezry-were not represent
ed at DE Soto at the meeting on the
8th inst. The committee, however,
proceeded to fix an early ,lay for hold
ing the contention. and also estab-
]ished the basis of representation.
Both the time and the BASIS are objec-
tionable TO some. perhaps all the coun-
ties not represented The objection to
she time, July 75, 10 that it is too early
and is on the very day before that set
for the State convention, and to the
basis Of representation that it not only
departs from the principle followed by
the Democracy of the State In consti-
tuting the State convention. but is in
itself partial and unfair. The basis
fixed for the State convention is "that
each representative district be entitled
to one delegate for every 500 votes cast
by it for Hancock in 1880, and one for
every fractional part thereof of $50
votes and over; provided that each
represen tatEve district be entitled to at
least one delegate" The basis fixed
at De Soto is lone delegate for every
500 Democratic votes in each county
and the wards IN the city of st. Louis.
and one additional delegate for frac-
ton of ESQ votes OF over, the Hancock
vote of 1880 to be taken as a basis /;
provided, however, that each county
and each ward in the city Of St. Louis
shall be entitled to at least one dele
gate" The effect Of this proviso by
the committee at De Soto is to give
tho Eleventh Ward of the city dele
gate Tor only s7S votes for Hancock,
the Fweaty-first Ward one for 1S4
votes. the Twsnty.second Ward one
for 1875 votes. and the Twenty-Sfth
Ward one for 81 votes. 1t will be OF
served that 6s4 votes cast for Hancock
Ia these four wards send four delegates,
when they would be entitled. under
the rule provided by the State Central
Committee, to only one, Fhese are
the patent and reasonable oHeetions
urged by Democrats In the counties.
Such action 40 this cannot conduee to
harmony, and may lead to disaster.
II hardly seems possible that the NOV.
era in this action will insist upon such
a decision. The Republican points
out the facts and notes the objections
tn them In the interest Of harmony.
The individual fortunes of no man in
.he district should weigh aught against
hold themselves oonpactly together to
be ready to take advantage of future
,nportunity. "The whole policy OF
.anonerfnc with the Greenbseksfs," 1t
GAYS .,should be discouraged. From
tbs state ticket down to the lowest
county offices there should be candi.

The truth about Judge Advocate
General Swain is coming out. His de-
cisions are generally regarded at the
War Department as worthless. Secre-
tary Lincoln, it is reported has been
obliged to reverse one decision after
another until the thing has become
monotonous, and rumor has it that
Swain will be removed. Lately he
discharged the best man in the Bu-
reau of Military Justice to make room
for one of his personal friends, and
this intensifies the dissatisfaction with
Swain. His record as Judge Advo-
cate General is no surprise to those
who know anything about him.
Swaim's appointment was one of the
most ridiculous acts Of the Hayes Ad-
ministration.

and painful illness, Mrs. Jane Coltharp
wife of our respected fellow-citizen, Mr.. A
J. Coltharp.
In all the relations of life, as daughter
wife and mother, the subject of this notice
was without blame Or reproach-always
dutiful, loving, kind and aftectionate in her
family, and generous and warm hearted to
her friends and neighbors. Could sympa-
thetic words or sorrowing tears afford SOL
ace or relief to her mourning family, they
would be gladly poured upon their grief
stricken hearts by her many friends and
admirers: but we all know, many of us,
alas! by sad experience, how utterly una
vailing are words or sympathy to bind up
the hearts of husband and children when
death has stricken down the brightest light
and guiding star of their home. Time may
soften their bitter grief, but while memory
lasts they will ever retain that one holy
sorrow that nothing this world contains can
ever heal,

CORPORATION WARRANTS,
Some of the Causes of their Decline
and Advance.
BRooKHAvEN, Feb. %, 1873:

BRooKHAvEN, Feb. %, 1882.
EDITOR BRooKHAvEN LEDGER =
have been a citizen and taxpayer of
this PLACE for the last eighteen years, and
have some knowledge of the causes attend
ing the decline and advance in corporation
warrants.
For many years this corporation paid
nothing except in warrants that were is
sued for certain purposes. Taxes were
levied; so much for one thing, so much
for another, and so on, each thing being
specified until the list was made out. The
tax-collector in collecting taxes would only
receive warrants to suit said taxes. 1t was
impossible for tax payer to pay his taxes
with warrant that called for the amount
OF his taxes He had to have more war
rants than one, and each issued for a GER
tain purpose and corresponding with the
different items in the assessment. This was
impossible, so that he had to pay in green
backs or get some Spectator in warrants to
pay his taxes.
Street tax could not be paid in any kind
of a warrant but street warrant-that or
greenbacks. A mechanic who had done
some work for the corporation (if not on
the street, could only get warrant and
with that warrant he could not pay street
tax. Fines had to be paid in greenbacks
altogether. Here the corporation fatty re-
pudiated its own paper.
Things went on in this way until relief
was obtained from the Legislature during
the time Mr. Thompson was member,
when a bill was passed prohibiting this cor
poration from levying tax of over FIVE
dollars on every thousand dollars worth OF
property and requiring said corporation to
take any paper that it issued for anything
due it. That law helped to bring down
taxes some.
So we see that relief was obtained from
the State Legislature and not from our town
authorities. Since then fines, street tax,
privilege tax and all other kinds of tax
except school tax are received in any kind
of warrant. The effect of said law could
not be otherwise than tend to make war
rants advance. 1t is not difficult to tell
what they would be worth in few years ii
the same old town ordinance was re-enacted
and enforced-a corporation virtually re-
pudiating its own paper
