i The Democrats of Cole county met In

It how turns out that the Long Branch
story: started against Senator Carpenter
lost summer was a malicious falsehood,
and wns concocted by its author, Mr.
Kamsdell,' it correspondent of the .New
York Tribune, for the avowed purpose, agJ
Mr. Kamsdell expressed it, of "getting
even " with the Senator, who, It seems,
had caused his arrest at some time or
other for contempt of the Sonate. The
New York lme, ol the 2d, contains a
full ventilation of the whole matter.

whatever of prosperity the country is

candor to; admit. It.' 'The attention of

Tim report or thd ' POstmnstev-Oeaeral
Is now mity before the people, and his re
commendation of a free telegraph is ngaiu
nil for discussion. Were the establishment
of Gorerninent ' Teh-graph Kn untried
eteriment, the benefits and advantage:
of which were utterly uncertain, wa migii
well hesitate, ' We nro told, on good au
thority, that the plan hns' been 'tried In
England 1 with , 'great success1. ' That
stumped cards are issued on which mes
sages may be written, containing a certain
monitor ol words. - These cards winy lie
taken to the General Post Office; or In
cities uiuy be dropcd Into one of the
street boxes, from which they nro. fre
quently collected and dispatched almost
as soon as received. " " " ""
We are told, on undoubted authority,
further, ; that tclegraphlo dispatches are
now sent In Kngland mneh more; cheaply
and with Much more speed nnd regularity
thnn when the telegraph lines, were In the
bands of private oompanies ; and, oonsc-
onontly, the telegraph is much more used
thah formerly. Tlie post office nnthorltiea
spare no pains to glvo satisfaction to the
people u thb,, new department of public
service. : ' ' ' : "'"
Much has been dono to Kicilitate lliter-
courso between different warts of the
country, but it is still slow nnd unsatis
factory. The use of the telegraph should
he pnpnlarlzed, nnd that It is more im)os-
sible that this should be than letter carry
tug was believed to bo. when first sug
gested, ie not to lie lielieved. e are of
opinion that not only the efficiency of the
postal service will be greatly enhanccil.
but Its remunerauvoness by the introduc
tinn of the pOstal telegraph.

The application above referred to is on
titled as follows: "J. O. Kappncr, as
signee, vs. J. II. Brlttbn and others," nnd
sets tip that the defendants claim to be en
titled to tlio whole of the funds mentioned
for the use'bf the bondholders of said
company ;; that they arc advised the funds
ore all in u small bank in St. Joseph,
which the assignee has a large interest ;
that moneys nro worth ten per cent, per
annum, and may be loaned at the rate of
ten percent, interest with tinted , States
bonds as collateral security. That Gen.
Henderson stated this proposition came
from the National Bank of the State of
Missouri, we do not think will be disputed.
It Is possible Gen. Ilendersou meant the
bunk wonld take the funds nnd place them
Kt that rate. But he did not so make him
self understood. i , ' , ,.' '-.', '
It was npon this state of facts that we
noticed editorially the application of the
Bank, of which Mr. Britton as President,
for the loan of the fund ill the hand of
the assignee, and made the comments we
did. We are glad to find Gen. Henderson
was mistaken, aud hence ourselves, , ,,

John was a imwerful. muscular man
and 1 used to see hltu go up tlie road many
a tiuio when I was In the shed milking.
and, peeping out at him thrnuiTh the
chinks, 1 thought Ills broad shoulders

. ituiuumlicriiig the day lllilt cuine alter, I
can't recall 0110 hanl word I ever heard
from Joss. . Wo were near enouirh to each
other to quarrel ; we just laid apart like
two odd volumes; thero wasn 't anv nro
'twixt us, nor anything 'twixt us, either
love or inuiriiinir. wncieas Jobn mid 1 bad
always been biiiiiillng over 0110 way and

i worked hanl. for mr silk dross and
ueck-hiou ware all 1 had oi richest and 1
cut up uiy gown oue day to make a cloak
fur the baby. You sue I couldn't give up
my pride, and was just 11s high spirited us
ever. But oni' farm didn't prosper, and
Jusse. didn't prosper; aud Mrs. Plumber
cauiu to live Willi us, to took after tilings,
shesajd ; and she got to pitying him every
now and then lor marrying 11 poor wife,
and oh well, what's the use of talking P
sometimes I couldn't help wishing John
Stritigor's strong shoulders were at the
wheel, when 1 was working myscll to
death morning and night for nothing.
'Then when the baby grew bigger I took
to teaching an A B (J class aa 1 used to be

bit of Inntf, It seemed, and hod his eyes on
it along baek. ' "Always was "wanting
what Wasn't his." Motlier Plumber said.
She owed, him a grudge for being more
forehanded than Jesse. It took a deal ol
looking after, nnd lawyering and survey
