will cast their rotes for him. Very few members of the Legislature will be Republican. The 15th amendment will doubtless be rejected Senter will be elected; but he wili be scorned and dinised by the very men at whose instance the State has been outraged and betrayed; and after he has served a brief term in office, will sink into a fathomless political grave. For all this wc have but one immediate consolation, namely, that the corrupt anil infamous ring which bare attached themselves to Governor Senter, and have secretly countenanced the overthrow of law, will be unable, in consequence of Democratic ascendancy, to profit aught for Senters election.

We must do what we can to encourage those who are pushing forward the roa l. If we re not able to give money, we can talk, we can tell our friends and neighbors of the benefit which the road will bring, and should the question ever come, Shall the county take a few thousand dollars in bonds? wo can vote ye3, and get others to do so. I have not time to tell you of half the Improvements the road will bring, nor would you care to listen.

One of the greatest feats ever accomplished in this country, in railroad work, was attained recently on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The gauge on the whole line from St Louis to Leavenworth, three hundred 4tnd fifty miles of track, including sidings, was changed In sixteen hours. Thirteen hundred and fifty men were employed, and the whole expense was one million dollars.

South Pacific became certain. Land ha been settled, and hooses built, where two years ago the citizens thought would never be fenced. The old farms are being Improved, and the farmers are all anxious to clear more land and plant more wheat, since they will have a market. If the South Pacific has done this much through its influence, what will a railroad direct through the county be worth to our citizens? Can its value lie calculated? We hope the people will take this question into serious consideration, and show that they, are willing to help in this important enterprise. A few days ago I was speaking to a gentleman owns near twelve hundred acres of land, through a part of which the road is expected to run.

Pursuant to call, her citizen met in mass meeting at Bolivar, on Wednes-lay, to discuss the question of taking stock in the rood, and to confer with the County Court upon the propriety of doing so at once, without awaiting the delay and expense of submitting the question to a rote of the people. lion. B. 11.

Emerson, Judge of the Circuit Conrt, was called to the chair, and James Dumars appointed Secretary. Dr. J. N. B.

Dodson, of Nevada City, President of the road, being Introduced to the meeting, made an earnest and forcible address, dwelling upon the importance of the road to the county, the necessity of prompt action In order to save the charter, and the power conferred upon the court to subscribe stock on behalf of the county. Dr. Dodson was followed by Col. A. Mitchell, Director for Polk county, la convincing argument on the advantages that will accrue to the people of the county from a railroad connection with the outside world.

At the coudusion of Col. Mitchells address, Capt. W. Galland, for the purpose of testing the sense of the meeting, Introduce, the following resolutions: Be it Ruofoed, by the tax-payers and cl tizons of Polk county, Missouri, in mas meeting assembled, that wo are of opinion that a railroad Is (needed to develop the resources of this county, and would tend to promote the real and substantial interests of the people. Resolved, That the honorable County Court of Polk two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and that they cause to be issued the bonds of said county for said sum, in such manner, at such time, and under such restrictions and guards as 6hall protect the interests of said county and the people thereof, and upon the condition that said money or bonds shall be expended upon the construction of said railroad within the limits of said county and, further, that the principal depot of said railroad in said county shall be located, ami a depot building erected within one half mile of the court house iu the town of Bolivar.

That said bon Is of said county shall issue in sains of not less than five hundred dollars, having twenty years to run, payable at some responsible banking house in the cities of New York, Boston or Philadelphia, bearing interest at the rate of seven per saia Interest payable semiannual iy at said bank upon coupons detached for the purpose, and said bonds shall be received by said railroad company at their par value, and when delivered to said company, certificates of stock shall be issued to said oounty therefor, one share to each one hundred dollars. Resolved, That said bonds shall not be issued and delivered until the County Court of Polk county shall be satisfied it Is necessary the work on said road shall be commenced in said county, or that the bed of Baid road has been completed to either the eastern or western border of sai countv, and said bonds shall interest only from the date of their sale or negotiability. Resolved, ihat the honorable 'County Court be requested to convene said Court in session immediately upon the adjournment of this meeting for the purpose of laying lie-fore said Court these resolutions, anif that J. II. Clark is hereby appointed to present the same to said Court, and to ask their compliance with the matters set forth therein.

Col. J. J. Gravely, of Stockton, being called for, spoke to the resolutions, in a masterly argument upon the legal point involved in the subscription of stock by county courts, citing a decision of the Supreme Court of Missouri to sustai his position lie also spoke in general terms of (he importance of the road to the general prosperity of the section through which it is to pass. M.

Van Lea ton objected to some points in the resolutions, to which Dr. Dodson rejoined in a happy manner, showing the fallacy of the objections. Pitt moved the adoption of the resolutions, and they were carried, but one voice dissenting. The meeting then adjourned. Immediately after the adjournment, the members ofthe County CourtMessrs.

J. W. Ratcliff, Thomas Burros and Thomas Fox took the matter of subscribing the stock ked for under advisement. After a brief consultation with attorneys Galland and Clark, and a conversation among themselves. Justice Fox announced the decision of the court very laconically, a follows.

The Political Prospect In Tennessee. The Stae election in Tennessee takes place to-day, Thursday, August 5.

Within the past few weeks, changes have taken place in the political aspect of alTaira, that promises to throw the State completely into the hands of the Conservatives. An unfortunate division occurred in the Republican ranks at the beginning of the campaign, resulting in the nomination of two candidates for Governor Senter and Stokes. The Conservatives made no nomination, but were understood to be unanimous in their support of Senter. The canvass has been a bitter one, from first to last, between the rival candidates for Governor. Senter was preferred by intelligent members of the Republican party, because they believed the doctrine of universal suffrage enunciated by him to be in harmony with the views of tho great Republican party.

Stokes was regarded as an insatiable grasper after office, whose greed was far in advance of his deserts, while liis policy on the franchise question was illiberal and uncalled for at the present time. Senters election was generally conceded; but, not content with this assurance, he, some weeks ago, began the work of removing registrars appointed byGoremor Brown-low, and substituting ex-rebels and Democrats in their places. To such an extent has this been carried, that out of eighty-four registrars, more than sixty changes had been made at last accounts. As a consequence, certificates are granted to all applicants, without reference to their previous conduct or predilections.
