The H~igginsville Post, in comment

The Higginsville Post, in comment
ing OH III article of last week, regard
ing Butler and Kelly says: -"Our
friend, the Lexington Intelligencer,
objects to Butler and John Kelly on
the ground that they are not democrats.
Did the lntelligencer object to Kelly
four years ago? Would the Intelli-
gencer object to either now if they
were supporters of Cleveland The
objection that they are not democrats
is puerile. They have never been any
thing else. 1t is true they are some
what Independent just now, and dis
posed to kick, and this probably ex-
plains the difficulty. The Intelligencer's
hatred of a democratic Independent is
exceeded only by its love for a republic
a 'independent.'" We answer eyes"
to both questions, and still assert that
Kelly is a traitor, and unworthy of con-
fidence by the party. We would like
to have the Post tell us how it found
out that Kelly and Butler would not
support Cleveland. We don't know
whether they will or not, and it makes
no difference. Republican love for dis
gruntled democrats and rebels is 80
proverbial that the Post ought not have
written the last sentence in its COM
ment. Look at Malone, Longstreet,
and the saint Kelly, on whom they de-
pended at the last presidential election,
and who will not desert them in this
it he gets his price. Look at the long
list of rebel brigadiers who have been
rewarded by turning traitor to their
honest convictions. "Rebel" is a good
republican word for opponents; but
when those opponents become allies
they also become t'patriots." Demo-
Gratis insist on calling such deserters

TEEmER GAUDAuR RACE,
Teemer Meets with an Accident and
Comes In IA Mile Behind.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 2.-The race
between Teemer and Gaudaur, which
was declared a tie last Sunday, was
Towed over at Creve Cnur lake this
afternoon and proved serious mis-
fortune 10 Teemer. The start was made
at 4:32 p. m. and GRudaur, in the five
seconds granted him, gained two
lengths before Teemer started, but the
men then laid down to work and in
half mile Teemer gained a length
and from that on crept slowly on his
opponent until Eve lengths
from turning flags the boats
were even. Two lengths further on
Teemer showed half length IN adj
vance. Gaudaur made q quick short
squirt and recovered the lost ground,
turned his boat at the flag as though
on a pivot and started for home at q
rapid pace. Teemer's turn was
slow and heavy and when
his shell turned round, the bow of his
boat went under the water and before
he could straighten Gaudaur was two
lengths In the lead. From this point
Gaudaur gained rapidly and Teemer
was out Of the race. The latter did
not stop rowing, however, but dragged
slowly down the course and when
Gaudaur crossed the line the McKees-
port boy was fully fourth Of a mile
behind. When Turner came in he
announced that his boat was water
logged, and he and Referee Gallagher
went to the boat-house Modoo where
the referee made mn examination
Of Teemer's boat and found
two open seams In 1t
bow and good deal OF water in It
forward compartment. In consequence
OF this and other circumstances, the
referee appointed a meeting at the
Southern hotel at 10 p. M. where he
would hear statements and give his
decision. The time Of the race was
2O:24.
LATER -Eph Morris, for Teemer j.
a. ~. John, for Gaudaur, and thirty
or forty persons having money at stake,
met at the Southern hotel between 10
and II o'clock this evening, aud after
considerable talk Referee Gallagher
gave the race to Gaudpur ana
declared the bets and pools off
based on what Mr.. Gallagher termed
unnatural betting,N which IL alleged
10 he the putting up OF money on
Gaudaur by secret way by some
OF the Teemer party. Neither
Teemer nor Gaudaur Is said 10 be
concerned in this transaction. How
ever. regarding the condition OF
Teemer's boat, Eph Morris thinks that
II was injured In the b0at-h0use Of the
Modoc club, but makes no direct charge
against any member OF the club.
The fact that Teemer was In the water

The pastor of the Baptist church

The pastor of the Baptist church
preached his fifth annual sermon last
sunday. Text, Exodus xxxiii,, 15A16.
He spoke of 1srael's delay at Sinai, the
revolt and its consequences. A want
OF preparation, the cause of delay. No
fitness from the promised land. The
church often delayed in its way to the
land of promise for want of fitness to
possess it. Without Gods presence,
no success-Vain to go without ID,
How to obtain it. The sermon was
interspersed with illustrations which
helped to set forth the pastors argu-
ments and make them practical. He
gave the following statistics: No. of
sermons since his first settlement in
this State, October, 1860. 5000; No. of
Baptisms, 166; No. of sermons
preached since settlement here, $50;
No. of funerals in the five years, &C.
Efforts are being made to establish
a division of the Sons of Temperance
in this place.
