Doar Clarioa The great elections are
now over NJ Missouri aud the result shows
that o.ee have met the enemy aud We are
nerap The cause Of the south has been
defeated IN every state except Maryland.
The friends of the President here are very
much discouraged AND iocl that utter des-
iruetion and ruin viii come upon the coun.
try John Hogan the present. member 81
Congress from g. Louis has bccn defeated
| bS man who s ~ black, Ia principle rs a
coal mine. lie was q general in the
slaughter, which TOOK place down South
fowycaB ago and GnuatIcal preacher ON
! friends here claim that h's.election was by
fiuud aud corruption on the part Of the
Judges ofthc election. Each voter IN the
cify was compelled 30 take the iod oath or
Ircgisiorn the particular ward in which he
dosilcd to vote, aud the law requires that
an alphabetical list Of the names be furnished
tqthc Judges. Whom voter coms forward
they would run over the list and If they
found his name, they would receive the vote,
! a. In the largest Radical wards the
books were properly indeed, but Ia those
wnrds whore they knew the Conservative
had majority they failed 10 iudoX the Books
and also pnt incompetent and slow men on
PURPOSE, 50 that when sunset arrived the
! polls were closed and 5000 votes that bad
been registered were moi permitted 10 be
received, which defeated the Conservative
ticket The Judges would sv indlein anoth.
CT way, also, which was more certain mode
Of defeating onr party-in this ways When
voter would present himself whom they
know to be- for Hogan, they would pretend
that his name wns not ON the list and Of
course he had to stand aside IL has been
my privilege for many years 10 witness the
process of voting, but ! must say IN all cam
! dor, that have never witnessed suclI whole
sale fraud and corruption in an election
| before.
The business st. Louis Ia rather duh at
! this time but few merchants from the
| South me here, which suppose is from the
itet that the planters Hrr late IN getting
| their crops 10 market. A great many OF our
! mcrChHuts who have purchased goods here
during the summer on short time, aud have
cNtcndcd layors TO the planters ON the faith
! Of thcir cotton, are compelled 10 delay their
visits until the planters get thelr cotton
! ia the hands Of the lact0~.
| While here il gave inc much pleasure to
! meet our good friends Col Johns and Mr..
! til i,+i#. and
| Wood Of Walden, Mr. Marshall, of Wuonn,
