New YORK, September 27.-The
remains OF Colonel George Knapp, the
proprietor of the Missouri Republi-
can, published in st. Louis, and which
is the Oldest newspaper west OF the
Mississippi river, who died on the 18Th
instant on board the Red Star steamer
Pennland, were forwarded to ST, Louis
this morning by the 8 o'clock train on
the Pennsylvania railroad. Although
Colonel Knapp had been an invalid
from chronic liver troubles for some
time past his death was very unex.
pected, and taking place as it did
aboard an ocean steamer, was surroun
ded by extremely sad circumstances
About two months ago, acting on the
advice of his physician, the Colonel,
accompanied by his son Thomas, sailed
on the Red Star Line for Antwerp, and
after a short rest there repaired to the
famous Kissengen springs, in Bavaria,
About the FIRST Of the present month,
somewhat improved in health and feel
iDg much encouraged, he began to talk
Of returning, and on the 10th instant
sailed from Antwerp on board the
Pennlaud, Captain Rudemeyer. The
| first day out the brisk sea air seemed
to act very benefcially upon the inya
lid, but he was suddenly seized with a
deathly sea sickness. He was faith

ltion. The Pennland arrived 10 hei
dock at 6 O'Clock yesterday, and early
this morning the body was exposed
and found to be perfectly preserved
On the arrival OF the steamship the
dead man, with his daughter'sI hus
band, we're on hand, having come OF
from St. Louis to accompany him

prise 10 them. His funeral will prob
ably take place on next Sunday, /

ninth birthday. He was q native o
this State, and was born 10 Montgom

Randall Evidently sure OF Sue

A Washington special says: Ex
Senator Randall is here conducting the
campaign for the Speakership, which
commenced within a short time after
the result Of the elections TO the FortyS
eighth Congress was known. He makes
no boasts and does not talk, at least
for publication, about his prospects,
but those who have talked with him
aud who have some means OF knowing
the pledges he has received from Con
gressmen, say that unless they are
greatly deceived he cannot be defeated
and that the apparent strength Of bis
principal rival candidates must be fc-
titious. Mr.. Randall himself predicts
that the Democrats will carry New
York this fall by $1,000 majority, and
is going to Ohio to make six speeches
10 aid the Democrats there.

PLEASE ANSWER.

The money can be raised in one of
two ways. By a loan for ten years,
which admits of the easy DISCHARGE
of the obligation. n by levying u tax
Of two or three cents, which will de-
fray the expense in one year. The
choice is before the people, and will
be determined on the Goth of next
month. \ If any man
prefers to pay the bill at one fell
sweep, be has the privilege Of voting
SO at the polls. It is purely q mat
ter of expectancy, to be determined
ny popular expressiOn.-Znter Noun

Does the Inter Mountain speak by
the card, or is it simply venturing a
homemade opinion? Does it really
NEAR to say the Commissioners wiU
levy a tax next year sufficiently
large to complete the county build
ings if the loan proposition be voted
down? Or is it q threat to coerce
taxpayers in voting for the loan?
Every citizen would like to hear the
answers to these questions, and as
the Inter Mountain seems to know
the intention of the Commissioners,
it owes it to the public to inform it
whether those gentlemen propose to
levy a tax next year large enough to
dnish the court house and Jail in the
event they are denied authority to
raise the money by sale of county
bonds. Please answer.

New York Notes.

NEW YORK, July p. -Comptroller
Allen Campbell has resigned. His
health and need of absolute rest is
the assigned cause. Recent discl0s-
ures of defalcatiOn in the finance de-
partrnent and newspaper articles are
said to have precipitated his resigna-
ton.
Judge Ingraham, in the superior
court to-day, granted a motion to Va
Gale an order IN the suit of William
and Ru,us Hatch against the West
ern Union Telegraph company and
others for examination, and Louis
Fitzgerald, president OF the Mercan-
lille Ere light company.
The produce exchange adopted a
resolution to notify the Western I'm
ion company if the telegraph facilities
were not improved the exchange
would withdraw from its contract
and also confer with other exchanges
with a view to building line oflheir
own.

A number OF suits have been COM
menced against the Western Union
Telegraph Company in Philadelphia
for refusing to transmit messages &C.
cording to its printed rules. These
suits will revive the legal questions
which New York and New Jersey
courts decided adversely to railroad
companies during the freight hand
lers strike last year. In that decis
ion the courts decided that railways
must take and forward freight, not
in their discretion and at their own
pleasure, out as fast as it was offered.
The same courts would doubtless saw
that the Western Union cannot shut
up an Office nor delay a single mes
sage nor couple the receipt of one
with any restrictive conditions.
These suits will excite much interest
as the decision rendered in them will
determine the action of telegraph
companies in dealing with future
strikes of it's employees.

A PREPOsTEROUS e

The Inter Mountain has several
times intimated that the taxpayers
Of this county were forced to choose
between voting for the court house
loan and to pay the whole amount
necessary to complete the structure
lat n fell swoop." The Inter
Mountain seems to have a very poor
opinion Of the honesty or good sense
of the county commissioners. 1t ap-
pears to think that if the loan be
voted down the commissioners will
levy a tax next year sufficient to
complete the building at once. We
do not believe any such thing. We
believe the commissioners would
take an adverse vote on the loan
proposition as the voice of the people
uttered against the immediate coma
pletion Of the building. To suppose
they would construe such vote differ
emily would be to suppose they hold
their judgment superior to that of
the people, and that they proposed
to act in defiance of the expressed
will of their constituents. Until We
learn otherwise we will believe the
county commissioners are gentlemen
whose sense of fairness and of re-
sponsibility to the people will forbid
heir taking a mean advantage of
their position to saddle an onerous
tax upon the taxpayers of the coun-
ty against their expressed wishes
Notwithstanding the Inter Noun.
