The latest political scheme that has been brought to light at this point to control the vote and influence of a the young democracy as well as the patriarchs, tathers ot the deluded ones, in the Congressional race, is the tollowing: Wher. the FPutler and Kinkaid branch of the Mo. Pacific road was made a mail route, Aubrey Ewing was appointed route agent at the solicitation, it 1s said, ot Cols. Pace | and Wade, to get him out of the) | way of Joe Brashear in the race tor | County Clerk. The work of the route agent is to | leave Butler about 10 o’clock a. m., | making the points, Foster, Pleasan- | ton, Mound City and Kinkaid, and | returning at 5 o’clock p. m. tance ot about 65 miles, with a pres; ent salary of $70 per month.

Among those who have been thus nish the necessary meat to be devour- ed by the Wade combination on the 14th ot August, are the tollowing : Ed McDonald, of Howard Tp., } young Jackson, son ot Andy Jack- Butler; Wm. Ewimg, ot Walnut Tp.; Bruce Ludwick, of Mt. Pleas- ant Tp.; young Norton, ot West Boone Tp.; Billy Atherton, of But- ler; young Harris, of Summit Tp., and Mr. Ewing, Mingo, All of these, and others whose names your correspondent has not learned, haye forwarded their petitions for the above ‘‘soft positioa’’ to the depart- ment at Washington, and the follow- ing answer, im substance, has been received trom the Assistant Post- master General: ‘*My Dear Sir:— Your application, which has been endorsed by your Congressman, Hon. W. J. Stone, has been receiv- ed and filed, attention at the proper time.’ course each one of these fifteen or twenty young men, their parents and triends, are waiting patiently tor the ‘soft place,’’ and in the meantime are expected to use their vote and and will receive due 8.—He should fortity himself strong- E ly fora re-election.
