one hair by the reckless threaenng of the demagogue

Thus far the administration Of Gov Fletcher has met
with the appreciation of the loyal men of the naton

an impetus which is starting her forward with gigantic
strides in the march of improvement Thus far all has
gone well with glorious Free Missouri. Her cause Is
the cause of the North-of the Nation. She shall
again have the heel of the Shareholder upon her
neck. She has done her work of " reconstruction
too quickly, too wisely and too well to have it ever
undone. Least of all States, must Missouri give the
lie to the proverb that Revolutions never 60 back

THE CANALS.

The year 1865 was an unfortunate one for the
canals Of this State for the breaks in March imposed
upon the canal tolls charge of over Sl,OO0OOO.
Thus the revenue has been greatly diminished in both
1865 and 1880 We suppose, however that the breaks
have been repaired and that the expenses have been
paid. The following statement OF the the fiscal con
dition of the State works is from The Albany Eren'ng
Journal and makes unnecessary for the Controller
TO levy the tax Of 1900 900 imposed by the Legi0la
ture this year to pay the interest on the Enlarge
ment debt; the surplus revenues are sufficient:
The appropriations for the repairs aud maintenance OF the

THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN MIS-
SOURI,.

Since the recent interview between Mr.. Congress
man Noel and the President in reference to Gov.
Fletchers militia" the politics Of Missouri have be-
gun 10 Assume character which must attract the
attention of earnest men throughout the country.
The startling query whether the President is medl-
tatng coup dttat in of his defeat at the Fall
election is raised anew by the NOEL interview.
II appears that during the recent adjourned session
of the Missouri Legislature, Registration Law was
passed, under the following provision of the new
Constitution:
"Tho General Assembly shall Immediately provide by Law
pete uniform registration by election districts
tie OF qualified voters IN ibis State which eesr
voters to vote al any election thereafter held &C.
Against this Registration Law the Rebels and their
aiders and sympathizers kick for the TO them) very
good reason that il DISTINGUISHES the last mothers son
of them But can they kick it overt With Andy
Johnsons help, they think they can. AT recent
mass meeting of Rebels and Copperheads, held IN the
capital of the State, the following inscription was
conspcuously displayed upon banner: "A free
ballot or free tight with Andy johnson on our side "
This is the watchword among the guerrillas, BUSH
whackers Rebels, bounty jumpers, British protection
lists and the Copperhead gentry generally throughout
the State Says Mr.. NOEL to the President Sup
pose Gov. Fletcher, under pretense OF carrying out
the Registry law, surrounds the polls with his
militia, and overawes the voters ~ Then
apply to the Secretary of War" answers the
modern Moses. But" says NOEL, our people
will not apply to the Secretary Of War Then
apply to me-" says Moses; q" il is the duty of the
President TO protect citizens in their rights. Where
upon overy skulking Missouri bushwhacker, in his
hiding place in Arkansas, Illinois, or the Cherokee
country, hearing Of these words Of comfort, slips
from bis concealment like snake from his hole, and
says: I'm 20 back and hclp my friends in Missouri
Andy is With u.s." And treason never lifted its head
more proudly in that State than it does to-day; for
Andy, instead Of making it odious, is fostering it
with tenderest care.
In the new Constitution Of Missouri II is provided
that no man shall vote at any election who has not
taken and subscribed TO certain OATH which is very
stringent and under which no Rebel or Rebel sympa.
thiler can vote without perjury. case is now be.
fore the United States Supreme Court in which a
preacher in Missouri, who preached without taking
the OATH which is provided for preachers and lawyers
as well as voters, prosecutes for false Imprisonment
1t is privately said that majority Of the Court has
decided that oath in conflict with the Constitution Of
the United States, though Judge Davis one OF tho
bench, states that no such decision has been made
But until that decision has been made public Gov
Fletcher will consider the Registration law in force and
