The Bloomfield VindicatOr is pub
fishing some "cold facts on Jno. g.
Wear, candidate for Judge in the 2Sd
circuit. They embrace two changes OF
venue under Wear, one Of which was
sent by him to Adair county, 400 miles
away, and the other to the northern
part of the State-to Lewis county.
Also. that he was railroad attorney
before he was appointed judge, and
was pretty good on asking changes OF
venue himself, by alleging the people
of three or four counties in his present
circuit were "prejudiced" against the
railroad. A convention will probably
be called to settle the claims of the
several contestants, one of whom is
Maj. Bedford, supported by the Vinda-
Gator.

The Poplar Bluff Citizen voices our
sentiments in the following:
The friends Of Judge Fox wisely refused
to place his name before. the state conven-
ton for seat on the Supreme bench. South
east Missouri had no show this time and
Judge Fox is too able man to be merely
put up for slaughter. The Judge has not
been a seeker for the Office and can we'll af-
ford to wait. Time will only the more plain
ly demonstrate his ability.

The Poplar Bluff Enquirer is now
issued twice-a-week. The change from
weekly to semi-weekly was made last
week, and the experiment is of course
yet too new to prove its advantages to
the publisher. We hope it may be a
success. Once-a-week, these days, is
rather slow, even for the country press.
Therefore, we wish the utmost success
to the boss of the Enquirer.

A new letter sheet envelope with a
two-cent stamp printed thereon. pre-
pared by the American Bank Note
Company for the Government, is likely
to prove q great convenience, especial
ly to.people who hesitate about using q
postal card, even for matters that are
in no sense private. The letter sheet
gives about as much space for writing
as one side Of sheet of note paper.
When folded tpresents the appearance
OF all envelope, but the edges (Which
are perforated) may be gummed down,
making it impossible to read the writ
ing except by cutting the envelope
open. 1t may, however, be easily op-
ened without destroying the writing, by
simply tearin off the perforated ends.
The letter sheet envelopes bear the
new two-cent stamp containing a mill
tary portrait of General Grant, and are
neatly engraved snd printed. They
are to be sold in any desired quantity
at the rate of twenty-three dollars per
thousand, and will, no doubt, become
very popular, especially with travellers.
They have the additional advantage of
having the post-office date stamp at
tached to the letter, as in olden days
before the time of envelopes. This is
not only an advantage, but is some
times of great value in the way of
proving dates and places. when and
where letters were mailed. The legal
records of Philadelphia contain case
in which large estate hinged upon q
q postmark on letter.

able citizen of Southeast Missouri:
Be it resolved by the bar Of the 18th judicial
circuit, at Alton assembled, that Hon. j. r.
woodside, judge of this circuit, being about
to retire from the bench after continuous
service as Judge for over fourteen years, we
hereby express our most sincere regret and
sorrow at the departure from the bench OF

ally presided over us for so many years.
That his record as judge and public servant
will stand as a lasting and imperishable
monument to his long and active life, and
his pure, upright and unblemished characte
as a citizen. That to his long life and public
services we can point with pride, and rec
ommend them as perfect model of genuine
manhood and uHsuilied honor to the legal
profession throughout the country, and all
that shall aspire to follow in his footsteps.
Be 1t further resolved that copy hereof
be spread upon the records of this court.

AS will he observed i'm our annouce.
ment column, Judge Williams, of JEFF
ferson county, has announced himself
an Independent Democratic candidate
for judge of the Goth circuit. We re-
greet his determination. Before the
convention we advocated his claims for
the nomination, and would have per-
ferred him as the regular Democratic
candidate. But the convention settled
that matter adversely to US, and as
Democrat we are bound to submit
and we are sure all good Democrats
have made up their minds to support
Judge Thomas, the nominee. We did
not Ike the methods used by his friends
in Jefferson county to secure that NOM
ination, and said SO very plainly. But
against his personal character and in
tegrity We said nothing, and believed
nothing. We have seen no cause to
change in this respect, and shall, from
time to time, take occasion to urge the
fact that by the voice of the Democra-
cy of the whole circuit, in convention
assemb led, he is entitled to and ought
to receive every Democratic vote cast
in the four counties of Iron, Reynolds,
Washington and Jefferson.
