In six months 7058 books in the German language haye been publish- ed, making an average of 45 works a day. —_—_—_—— EE Junius Brutus Booth, the actor. is dead. He was the son of the great tragedian by that name, and was born in Charleston South Carolina in 1821. The Rockville Globe says a few words on the late order of the Coun- ty Court in regard to a new jail that are quite forceable and _ reflect the true sentiment of the people. —_— Mr. Ben Butler says newspapers lie so that he can’t place any depend- ence in what they say. How cruel the old gentleman ts in these days of his repentance. Nobody would dare accuse Gov. Ben with ever’ having stole a spoon or told a lie. The St. Joseph Gazette believes Mr. Randall occupies the true Dem- ocratic position on the tariff. The Gazette’s views are not exactly in harmony with the sentiment of the Western and Southern people. —_—ESEoeee ses The torthcoming meeting of the South West Press Association at Rich Hill, Oct. 27, promises to be an interesting occasion. ‘The pro- gramis published elsewhere in to- days Time ——_——_ Richard T.

Press Association to meet Clinton last Friday, Mr. Fleenor, of the Rich Hill Chronicle, responded in the place of Magill, ot the Eaver- prise ot that place. On account of the tailure ot other members to at- tend, it was decided to do nothing at that time. On Monday Charley Hilton put in an appearance at Clinton, and thought a minority of the committee might proceed to do the business. A line was drawn across the cor- nerot the map, so as to embrace the following counties in the district composing the territory of the S. W. Press: Cass, Johnson, Pettis, Bates, Hen- ty, Benton, Morgan, Camden, Hickory, St. Clair, Vernon, Cedar, Polk, Dallas, Laclede, Barton, Dade, Greene, Webster, Wright, Jasper, Lawrence, Christian, Doug- lass, Taney, Ozark.

His figures, he claims, ‘establish the responsi. bility of England for the falsification | of Secretary Seward’s prop hecy of a speedy suppression of the rebellion,” Mr. Seward’s prophecy was that the rebellion would be suppressed jg ninety days—which shows that Mr, Seward did not know any more about it than John Roach does now, There was not one pwolic man on either side, with the possible excep- tion of Alex. St@phens, who at the | begining of the struggle even approxi- mately measured its scope, its dura. tion and its desperate and exhaus. tive character. Mr. Seward’s pleas. ant little prediction very clearly shows that did Mr. Seward had the reputation ot being the most sagacious and prophetic of northern The southern leaders were no wiser, the re sult abundantly proved. Had Mr, Yancey, who did more than any oth- er man to precipitate the conflict, known what a conflagration he was kindling when he trayelled over the south inflaming the people with his passionate appeais, he would never have made a single speech. As to Mr. Roach’s assumption that, but for the British blockade-running whici our navy was too feeble te prevent, the ‘‘rebellin’’ would have been surpassingly silly, in view of what we know now. Blockade-run- ning was only an incident in the war, The south, certainly, was tar behind the north in the manufacture of war materials and supplies, but it manag- edinthe passionate ardor of the struggle to manutacture, if not all the arms, munitioms and supplies it needed, enough, together with’ what it captured trom the Union armies, to do an immeasurable amount of a he not—and statesmen. as that Geo.

No better excuse is wanted by political gossipers to fix up stories about the old ticket. At all events it looks as though there is a much warmer feeling existing between these two vetern statesman than the world has hitherto ascribed. It isan_ indi- cation that the old ticket will be har- moneous. Quite recently Mr. R. W. Mitch- ell, formerly ot the New London Gurde, purchased the interest of Hon. Will J.
