Affairs in Missouri.

GOVERNOR FLETCHER, of Missouri, has issued
proclamation in which he asserts that the COM
bined power of the State and National Govern
ments will be used in that State to enforce at
the ensuing election the Constitution and laws
of the State. TIE registration law will be
strictly enforced. and the election conducted
in accordance herewith. No arrests will be
made except as authorized by law, but wherever
the civil officers are unable to execute their
functions the aid Of the military will be
promptly afforded.
The necessity tor taking these stringent pre-
cautonaIy measures is to be found in the attl-
tude of the Conservative party In that State,
which tor months has been committing the
most outrageous excesses and has boldly
avowed its inteHtion of trampling under foot
the Constitution and laws III the ensuing elec-
tion. ..
As a specimen of what Conservatism means
in Missouri, we may state that in Jackson
county, a few weeks since, band of these tel
lows rode into Independence, the county seat,
in the night murdered the Jailor in cold blood,
and released one of their number who was con-
fined on a charge of murder. Not long since
gang of the same stripe rode into Kansas City
in .the day time, and shot down Major W. c.
RANSOM, the county clerk These outrages were
encouraged and melted by the Conservative
organs of the country.
We trust that Governor FLETCHER will use all
the power of the State, and such additional
force may be necessary, to maintain the
sanctty of law and the supremacy OF order in
Missouri. That great State is the prospective
home of thousands of good citizens all over the
Union, and it should not be given over to the
reign of anarchy.
