BUTLER, MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25. 1882. —————— It is reported that J. G. Blain will be a candidate for Congress from his eld Maine district. The new rumor in Washington politics is the probability of Conk- ling being made Secretary of the Treasury. ——— The Star-Maz/ of Kansas City published in its Friday evening issue a very startling and somewhat sen- sational article on the proposed in- auguration of the Mahone system in Missouri, especially in the Eighth | the statutes lized county requisite territory would take Ne- | vada in the new county. To leave the requisite number of square miles | in Bates county and comply with | in regard to the distance } from the existing connty seat would | perhaps divide the city of Rich Hill, | at least would cut off the mines | north of the city and make Rich Hill | a kind of ‘Texarkana’ town which | we are confident would meet with | such a lively opposition by the free- | holders that it would be very un- comfortable for the agitator of such} a project. There is no plausible | method of getting a legally author- | with Rich Hill as the county seat, only by an amendment to the constitution. H The General Assembly has no power beyond that prescribed by the statutes, and an amendment must be considered by a State con- vention, and the proposition sud mitted to the suffrage of the people. Thus we see that the new county is only ‘‘the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.’’ Was it not bared by the statutes it would not meet with the concurrence of the people of the district. Looking at the matter in a prac- tical light we are assured that Rich Hill only needs a division of the circuit court with branch county offices here, which she is now en- titled to, and the Legislature will Take Notice of ‘these Facts “A plain and unvarnished Tale” from which our friends and cus- tomers can extract much good if they will.

The Review dates the existence of the new county from Jan. 1, 1884. Mother Shipton said the end ot the world would come in 1881.—[Bates Co. Record. The press generally have been poking fun at this wild project, but owing to its origin and impractic bility, we have not given it a notice; a drowning man should+ have the benefit of all the straws that he catch, but we wish to call the agi- attention to afew legal facts ive to his proposition: Sec. 1. Aat. “The counties as they now e recognized as legal sub-divisions of sta re the State,’? and there is no law by which counties can be made except the rules specified in the constitu- tution. Sec gdsays, *‘The general sembly shall have no power to es tablish any new county with a ter- ritory less than 410 square miles. Nor shall any new county be estab- lished, any line of which shall run within ten miles of the then exist ing county seat.”. We find under these restrictions that Bates would have but a narrow strip to contribute, and to giye Rich Hill the benefit of the county seat with a central lo- cation in the proposed county the st’s speech on the na- tional finances, delivered in the Sen- ate a short time since, is being pub- lished widely by the press of the in i 2KLY Times is now increasing at | can | gth of the constitution says, | troversy. Then Bates county will stand as Jackson does—i. ¢., Rich | Hill be a facsimile of Kansas City and Butler ot Independedce, not having the expense of separate county governments, but the two sharing alike the benefits of the county business. Our readers can rest assured that the delusive phan- tom of a new county will be hooted into oblivion, while our proposition | will have an early maturity.—[Rich | Hill Enterpri Extract From a Sermon, Deliycred in Baptist church, Butler, Mo., by S.
