We liave rfcive-l a copy of the TFi7lamttle Farmer, published at Salem, Oregon, by A. L. Stinson. The paper is a neat quarto. Mr. Stinson is an old attache of the Journal office, 'V.av.oe served hin apprenticeship in it. His new paper is a credit to his al.m-t witter.'

. The Contest In the Third Ward. We copy the following paragraph on this subject from the Lhurier of yesterday : A QtTRSTlOV FOR THE COUNCIL. The Council bift ni?ht full? and officially recognized Mr. Van Riper as the locally elected member of the Board from the Third Ward. Ilia name was called on the roll the same as the names of the other members; his vote was counted on every ques'tion jnt as wns the names op the others; his cerliSeate was received by the Clerk, just as w.is the certificate of all tho other Council raen ; hi nominations were recorded and voted upon, anJ. in short, he was recognized by the Couneilmen in all hia aets as a member of the Boird. The public mu3t beafin mind that a contest for a seat on the Board of Common Council ia very different from the TEode of procedure in the State or National Legislature. In fact the public must bear in mind that there is neither law or judicial interpretation of Inw which admits of the ricbt for one person to contest tho election of another for Councilman. It ha3 never been successfully done, because the certificates "of election come directly from the inspector of election instead ot an oiheer cl the, C ourt, as in other elections. Acrain, the eertificiitcs tire all civen at tho :ame time, and if a contest ii made at 'ii!, the contested seat should be cont'idered vacant until a decision couid he ha h Supposing, then, that Messrs'. Carsoo. fironimelhaus, Iledderich and Jleiliuan all defeated by, small ma turities should contest the election of heir opponents,- by whafc show,of mhi or notice could Messrs. Hop kins, Orr, Steinbach and jlodsou vote unoti the Question? Their seats once contested notice of the intention of their opponents to enter protest would be sufficient to defer them from the rieht to occupy their seats uutil a decision had been arrived at, and icith Jive contested seats th re. wr.uhl not be a uiiorum ot the Council left to de cide! Courier. The mooted question ns to who shall be Councilman of the Third Ward will, we presume, be decided thisj afternoon. We only copy the nbove paragraph to show the con temptibleoes. of the technicalities , upon which Mr. Van KlPER and his mends base his riaat to a seat as Councilman. It will be observed tha neither the Courier nor Mr. Van Riper has denied tho correctness of the facts set forth by us aud repeated in Mr. Semonin's notice of protest. These- facts show that the Inspectors and Judges of the Election counted for Mr. Van Riper one ticket upon which every name waa crossed off by a pencil mark, except the name of Thomas Bcjllen, for Marshal. That they refused to count two tickets upon which, with others, was tho name of Peter Sesionin, for Councilman of the Third Ward, because these tickets were clipped from the columns of a newspaper; and we have shown that under the law and. th", decision of the Supreme Court, the JuJses had no . right to refuse to count theye tickets. These facts, we repeat have not been denied. The paragraph above, from the Courier, is fair sample of the logic 1 upon which Van Riper's friends hope to sustain what 'hey manifestly regard as a very bnd case. It asset ts that because the .City Clerk received Mr. Van Riper's certificate and that gentleman took his seat, therefore he was recognized as Councilman, and can not be ousted. It argues, further, that one person cannot contest the election of another for Councilman, because the cr-rtificntes come directly from the Inspector of Election, in- ' stead of an officer of the Court, as in toher elections. Did anybody ever ever bef'oro hear such nonsense. If the Couriers argument is good, it proves that the voters of a Ward cannot choose their own Councilman, because the Inspect r of Election may throw out loal votes and issue a certificate to whomsoever he pleases, and that certificate will entitle the one receiving t- his seat as Councilman, from which he cauuot be removed. Certainly, if this reasoning prevails, it will greatly .simplify elections, in the future. The' main controversy hereafter will be to secure the right kind of men as Inspectors of Elections men with nerve enough to make out certificates regardless of the choice of the voters. Besides the inherent nonsense of such an argument, it absolutely and unqualifiedly nullifies a plain provision of the city charter. It not only outrages comtnon sense, but tramples upon the plain provisions of the law. The charter expressly says the Mayor and Couneilmen "shall- be judges of tlve election returns and of the qualifications of their own members." How can this be done if they cannot go be hind the certificate of election given by an Inspector? The language of the charter i.j alniost identical with the language of the State Constitu tion in definine tha nowera of the ' y w " Legislature. The Constitution eaya each Blouse of the Legislature "shall jidge the election, qualifications and returns of its members." It is well knowu that the certificate of election . and the actual possession of "his seat doe3 not prevent the Legislature from ousting a member who has not been fairly and Kgilly elected. The same wi!l hold traj of the City Council. Thty" will examine the election returns and qualifications of Mr. Van RlPtc, and if it is ascertained that he did i ceire a majority of the lee he will have to " wulk lOtwithstanding Mr. tificate. The latter

dees very well so far as It goes, but unfortunately for MtTVan Rlffi, it is not final . , The Illinois Central Railroad has esjoioed the Cairo and Vincennes Road,' and "will net allow "them to

1 ' il A. 1 .ntn.tif cross their ronu, witnoui a lawsun.. Proceedings will be commenced at the" next, term of the court to have that portion of the Illinois Central Road condemned. The Judiciary bill, which lias at length passed both Houses, provides for tho appointment of one or more Judge. of the Supreme Court, and nine new Circuit Judges, salaried at $3,000 a" year. It provides that any United States Judge often years' ser vice, and of the age of seventy years, may voluntarily retire from the bench. and euntiuue to receive full pay. This is the beginning of civil pensions. An 0!1 Fogy.

Kentucky, which we print in another place, shows that our I victory awakens joyful feelings in that State. Manv of our exchanges w-itohcd the canvass with intense intt -rest, and join with us in rejoicing over the victory won. The following paragraph from the Princeton ( larion we think, worthy of republication, as showing how impartial and unpreju diced observers regarded the controversy;; ;ii c'i ; Tb Republican Executive Committee of Evansville, recently appointed a committee of three persons, to examine the books and documents of the city aud report as to their accuracy. We find their report in the Journal of this week, which seema to place Mayor Walker in rather an unenviable light. It seems that his " Honor," in accordance with the time-honored usaees of the Demo cratic party, made great promises of reform in reduction or taxes, it the people of the city would elect him Mayor," which they did at the last Spring election. Instead, however, of thero being any reduction in the ex penses of the city government, or the taxes during the past year, there has been a heavy increase in both. The committee called on his "Honor" to meet with them and assist in the investigation of the financial condition of the city government, but he refused to give them any aid whatever, and even refused to let them see the regis ter of the bonds, which is conclusive evidence that his Honor well knows that there is someihing " rot ten in Denmark," and he is afraid to let the Democratic "Paudora's " box be opened, lest the infectious corrup tion that it contains will escape and drive from his party all honest men. co maen ior emo.rauc promises 01 How tuey Love the Soldier. At t!ie Council meeting last night, Mr. V an liiper put in nomination John Stevens, a soldier who lost a log in the late war for the Union, for the omce ot Weighmaster at the Up per Market. Jlr. fetevens wrts an nounced as a Republican, and h-s opponent was a well-to-do, ablebodied grocer; but the untortunate soldier was not oue of the '"King," and only received the votes ot the three .Democratic members of the .board, the itadical members voting in a body against him!

U. And be it further enacted. That the widow, minor children or parents, in the order named, of any soldier who fihall have died, after betag houorably . discharged Irom the military service of the United States, shall be entitled to receive the additional bounty to which such soldier would be entitled if living, under the provisions of the twelfth and thirteonth sections oi an act entitled an act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for tho traan aninir .Tuna 1 1 n!
