DIVIDED COUNsELS.

We had hoped that wiser counsels
would prevail with MISSOURI republi.
cans this year, and the division be.
tween the "silk stockings" and the
Regulars" might be healed so that
they could have united in a call from
a state convention, and thus send a
single delegation to the Republican
National Convention to be held in
Chicago. But the Van Hon or "Silk
stocking" state committee met on Fri
day last and made haste to perpetua,e
the division. and to issue a call for
their state convention to be held IN
Sedalia on 9th Of April next. Adair
county was mis.represented as usual.
Theie is little doubt now the old or
regular state committee will in time
issue its call, and hence it is probable
the state will present itself at the
Chicago convention with double dele.
cation. 1t is time the Republicans Of
this state should understand that the

in this county says that Doc Johnson
has struck VEN of coal ~ inches
thick and of as good quality as can be
found in this part of Adair county.
But time and labor alone can deter
mine the depth OF coal found. The
main entry has been run to distance
of SO odd feet. If it should prove a
bonanza, it will add much to the im-
provements of the place, Mr.. Johnson
has spent large amount IN the UNDER
taking, and it would be reward which
he richly deserves for his untiring

correspondent Of the La Ora nge
Democrat writing from the scene Of the
Holiness Mobbing" in Shelby county,
denies the charge against Rev. VIM.
Smith or his co.laborers, of insulting
young LADY. The correspondent saws
it was simply a quarrel between Rev.
Smith and some of his band and thre'
or four neiohhoring young men," If
this version is correct the law ought to
deal with the dlsturbers Of the meeting
IN way that will prevent future scam
