Thirteen Democratic Districts and One
Republiean...Capitol Notes.


Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
JEFFERSON CRY, April 27.-IIon.
G. G. Daniel, of Audrain, has intro
duced a bill to re-district the State,
which is meeting with great favor.
He has ignored all local prejudices
and local candidates., and aimed to
make the greatest number of districts
democratic without any peradventure.
Thirteen of the districts are demo-
cratic with good majorities, and one
district (the ~thirteenth), composed of
Jasper, Newton, Mcdonald, Law
renee, Barry, Polk, Dallas, Green,
Christian, Stone and fancy counties,
republican. Charlie left Monroe out
of our district because it was needed
in the northwest, and we could do
without it.
The prospect is that the Legislature
will adjourn next week. The city is
crowded with politicians of all parties,
and a good deal of interest is mani
tested in the various schemes to re-
district. Each day the feeling in
favor of what Governor Crittenden
did in the James matter is growing
stronger with the law-abiding people,.
The Governor has a guard around
the mansion every night. A very
good precaution, although no danger
is anticipated.
