While it is unquestionably true that
every judge upon our supreme bench
when he was a candidate sought the
votes and influence of the forty-o odd
counties which were suffering from
heavy bonded debts, and would never
have received them if they had not
believed them to be in sympathy with
the people, it is non the less true that
just now counties that are in trouble,
and that are making an honest effort to
settle their debts upon an equitable
basis, receive more comfort from the
judge of the United States court than
they do from our own supreme court.
Indeed, instead of relying upon the
spirit of justice and fairness of the lat
ter the people are compelled to look to
Judge Krekel and the governor. Mr..
Skinker is to the state supreme court
their old man of the sea. The sooner
they shake him off of their burdened
shoulders the better it will be for the
good feeling between themselves and
the people. Evidently they have not
read the petitions sent to them from
all over the state. Letters are being
received here every day from the best
men in Missouri asking if they can do

Thursday was Thanksgiving Day.
And there was much in this favored
land for which to be thankful-the
abundant blessings of an all-wise and
merciful God. The fact that we live
in a Christian land; where conscience
has liberty; where the gospel is free;
where education is offered to the poor
est and humblest; where bread and
raimeDt are SO abundant that the labor
er even is not stinted; where the eli
mate is genial, the soil kind, and all ma
ture gentle and generous to man. A
land where all men r equal before
the law, and where the son of the cot
ter may aspire to be the chiefest officer.
A land where men are men, and where
women are more highly esteemed than
they are anywhere else upon the globe;
where whatever our grievances the
power lies in the hands of the people
to redress them, and where no caste Of
lineage is imposed as a burden and a
tax upon the common people. That
we are citizens rather than subjects,
living in a republic, and owning no
man. as master. That our wives are
lovable, our daughters lovely, and our
homes happy. That the good God has
been especially good to us,and in every
way filled up our cup of happiness
with a generous. hand. The man or
woman who cannot in this country, no
special providence hindering, bow the
head in reverent thanksgiving, is
wronghearted somewhere and UNI
grateful.

man testified clearly that Miller killed

father was suspected of stealing a horse
from Evilsizer, and it is supposed the
assassination was committed to remove
a troublesome witness. There was

really there was no danger ofthis being
done, as the best citizens of Richmond

John GRIFFIN CARLISLE.

The Intelligencer is for Carlisle for
speaker because he better represents
democratic ideas upon the questions of
tariff and excise taxes than does either
of his competitors. 1t has no selfish
purpose whatever to subserve. 1t has
never received all official favor Of any
sort from Mr.. Carlisle, mol does it +
to, while it has received many from
Mr.. Randall. Our political opinions
are II own. Nc political convention
dictates them, and no politician, high or
low, controls them. On the other hand
we do not seek to influence anyone ex-
cept as we appeal to reason and the
right. On the ~speakership question
the Intelligencer was the first demo
cratic newspaper that we know of in
Missouri to declare for Carlisle. How
ever little or much influence it may
have had in any one particular direc-
ton it is very we'll satisfied as to the at
titude of Missouri democrats in gen.
eral. We believe that four-fifths of
the democrats Of the Fifth COMPRESSION
al district of Missouri are for Mr.. Car
Isle. They prefer Mr.. Cox to Mr..
Randall, but they are for Carlisle first.
They are strongly opposed to Randalrs
views on both the tariff and excise
questions; they are with Mr.. Cox on
the tariff. but opposed to him on excise
taxes; they are with Mr.. Carlisle on
both tariff and excise taxes. So far as
ability is concerned there is not very
much difference between the three
men, but what difference exists is in
favor Of Mr.. Carlisle. Mr. Randall is
a splendid ot-hand debater; MI. Cox
is par excellence the cultured wit of the
house; Mr.. Carlisle is the learned and
profound statesman, whose speeches
upon every question are couched in the
purest English, full of logic, and ex-
haustive. And withal he is one of the
best presiding officers in the United
States. That he should draw upon
himself the united fire of the ultra re-
publican press, and the bitter denuncia-
ton of the tariff and railroad monop-
olists, is to his everlasting credit. The
caucus meets tonight, and the time
for argument has passed, but whatever
betides, John Griffin Carlisle has in
this speakership contest stood manful.
ly the embodiment of true democracy
He has had the courage of his convic-
tions, which are the convictions of the
