TOMPKINS, EDITOS. ELWOOD, SATH1MY, SEPT. 25, IS.jS, The Election. Now that tho people are going to have a fall, fair, and free chance to choose their own officers and Legislators, we trust that they will use their prerogative in a manner calculated to inspire the confidence and respect of those who' watch their movements from the various portions of the Union. If at this election men are chosen who possess some conscience, some honor, some integrity and self-respect combined with capacity, and a disposition to discharge their respective duties with assiduity and patriotism, we can then begin to feel that we are on the right track for future greatness and prosperity.

But it' alter our election the same charges of speculation, peculation, dishonest7, delinquency and all the other crimes, semi-crimes, and demi-serni-crimes, corruptions, intrigues, and everything bad in general, can be brought forward, proclaimed abroad, and sustained, which have hitherto been raised against our various office holders, we shall begin to think no good can come out ot Kansas," and that joined to her idols she had better be let alone. Let us carefully pick our men, and place good and true ones in power. Let fitness, moral as well as intellectual and capacity, mental as well as physical, be the tests applied to candidates. Let us have men who have brains, and let ns have brains that are controlled bv honesty. We do hope that we have heard the last of this corruption business.

Whether the charges against former officials and legislatures are true or false, we hope to see the offices tided this time those against whom tfiev cannot be made men whose previous characters will give us confidence in their future acts, and whoso inture acts will but strengthen our previous good opinion. Above all 3o not elect men who think they must be eternally We would rather see one law passed that it took a hundred days to perfect, than an hundred laws that were ground through in a daw We believe it to have be-come a crying evil, this being governed too much. If our next legislature will undo about two-thirds of the acts of their predecessors and then straighten up and give sonic comeliness ot form to the remaining one-third, the- will deserve better of their constituents than any deliberative bod v. ever did before. And if af-ter.

doing this they will pass such laws only as are absolutely 'essential to the good of the Commonwealth, and then quietly adjourn and go home, they will find they have built themselves monuments in the great edifice of public opinion, that will endure until official inteirritv ceases to be a virtue in a christian community. PSEE STATE C0TJ2JTY Pursuant to the notice published by the Executive Committee of the Count', a Convention was held at Troy on the 18th of September, for the purpose of nominating representatives and county officers.

Applied to horses, it means an English race-horse, whose blood is largely derived from the Arabian. Applied to cattle, it means any animal that has a long pedigree.

Blooded stock means the same as thorough bred, and usually traces its origin to warmer countries. A barb is nothing but a horse from Barbary. King James was the first importer ot barbs into England, and he laid the foundation of the English racer. So says Porter's Spirit. Missing.

noiiiHi to the story, from an amounts to about this Lane of this county had an alternation over an argument in Court, and as sometimes happens even with that patient class the lawyers they lost their tempers and actually had a clinch; they were immediately separated and the Judge very properly fined both parties for contempt The entire performance did not occupy as much time as does the narration of the facts and we presume both parties are amused at the size to which the story has attained. We object though to the papers calling our friend Wrigley Quigley. As he is a candidate for the legislature it may divide his vote and besdes his own name is the most euphonious of the two. The South Platte Gold Mines. We copy Irom the Gazette the following extract from a letter to Mr.

Beauvais, of this place, from his brother. The statement may be relied upon as correct Lone Star, N. August 29. On his raturn from the Indians, he traveled through the country now report ed to be rich with gold, having been recently discovered, and thu3 far proved to be of some value. Reports have frequently come to me of this fact, hut I never placed any confidence in them; but now my own men have seen specimens of the gold lound, and also have examined the country, an.

I the reports they give me fully substantiate those I have formerly received through strangers. I have also been in that country, and am pretty well acquainted with it, and firmly believe there is gold to be found in that region, and am quite certain it will pay to work it, after those who are now there have found the most desirable sections of the country to work in." Farther on iu the letter, in speak ing; ot coming to the mines, Mr Beauvais says I do not urge this thing, recommending it as a good thing, but I have every reason to believe it will be after a while WIIEUE AXLE WE TO VOTE. We asked this question last week, and have as yet received no answer 6 a ve from the Statutes which say "at the Court House of the Countv." Now we are anxious to vote, but not enough so to vhW out to Troy 'this hot weather (or that purpose, iand we apprehend a good many of our follow citizens are in a simi lar condition. The Supervisors have the power to create one precinct in each township but we cannot learn that tfty have done so as yet. It is bad enough in our opinion to have to vote viva-voce but to have to ride to Troy to do it is worse yet.

Let ns have the precincts.

One old, lame negro, left behind, approached what he supposed was his Jesus, exclaiming that "he had been waiting for him these forty years!" OCT3 Jnlius Ceasar Hannibal giving an account ot his sea voyage, says All the passengers was now lieavin', and if that wasn't enough de captain give orders for do ship to heave too and she hove READ. The following which we find iu the Hartford Courant, is well worth peiusal, as showing that Eastern people are not insensible to the importance of that great work the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail Road: The new railway across the northern part of Missouri begins to attract much attention. It extends from Hannibal to St.

Joseph, and will be completed, it is said, by April next. It will be very valna-be to Northern Kansas, and will bring a class of farming emigrants into the North of Missouri, that will produce a wonderful influence on her destinies. Many foreign farmers find Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin too cold. This railway will open to them an inviting country in the North parts of Missouri and Kansas. As soon as it is constructed, it will be the great entrance to Kansas, and Nebraska, for its terminus is but a few miles below the south line of that Territory.

The road must be an eminently successful one. From St. Jo seph, its terminus, or rather from Elwood, which lies opposite to St. Joseph in Kansas, will originate the leading railways of Kansas, and perhaps, the great Pacific Railway itself. The Boston Journal says of this road "This new railroad cannot fail to have a lively influence upon the emigration to Kansas, since it will shorten the time required to reach that territory full two-thirds.

At the present time the "average length of time tor a passage from St. Louis to Kansas up the Missouri river, is about six days, By the new raib road it will be practicable to reach the border at St. Joseph in three days Jrom Boston. So that one starting from this city for Kansas at the same time with a friend who leaves St. Louis for the same point, may actually reach the common destination three days hefore his St.

Louis friend. It is unnecessary to comment on the advantages which this road will furnish to the Kansas emigrant. It is stated that the settlement of that Territory has advanced as rapidly as that of California, notwithstanding the arduous difficulties that have attended the transit across Missouri. If the attractions of Kansas have been strong enough to rival those of the golden magnet ot California, when the emigrant had to face the, delays and perils of the Missouri river and the ruffians and highwaymen that have lined its banks, it is not easy to calculate the increase which the smooth and easy transit across Northern Mis souri in ten hours, will be likely to occasion." DEMOCRATIC 11 J3IINATI0NS. We have not received the full nominations made bv the Demo- if cratic party' at their late Convention at Troy.

We learn that Messrs Wrigley Shephard, Star and Penny are candidates for the Legislature, and that Mr. Hill of Palermo, is. up for Superintendent of schools. A full tieketls in the field, however, and fhe candidates have accepted the invitation ot the other party to meet them on tiie stump and to discuss the various issues of the campaign before the people. The first meeting will take place here to-day.

Slave Territorial. The Rich on Whig thinks that after the Kansas question is settled, there need bo no more agitation about slavery in the territories, it says ''There is not now a single foot of Territory belonging to the Union which will not be ultimately carved out and erected into Free States bv the force of Northern emigration. The only spot of the public territory into which Southern men would be likely or willing to go with their slave property, is the Indian Territory West of Arkansas; but even there, the momentf emigration sets Jn that direction the North will outstrip the South in the race of colonization five, or ten to one' 1 IN THE PROBATE COURT, In and for the County of Doniphan, in tlie Territory of September Term, A. 1858.
