The St. Louis boating interest re-
mains stagnant. A number of our
boats with their crews got away from

engaged making money between
Cairo and New Orleans, but by
far the greater number of boats are
here, burden to their owners, and
thousands of boatmen are becoming
distracted for want of something 10
do. There was another mild spell
yesterday; some new made ice foated
past all day, at the usual rate of
speed, and the river continued falling
slowly. There was fall of half an
inch of snow during the afternoon.
As usual, there. are some persons OF
the opinion that there is no gorge be-
low here. 1t would nightly please us
to know that they are not mistaken.

The CoLoRED PEOPLE AND THEIR FRIENDS.
The coored people Of this State will not be
allowed to vote for delegates to the proposed
Constitutional Convention. The Radicals IN
the Legislature are unanimous 10 favor Of en-
forcing coored suffrage in the South, but, like
their brethren elsewhere, they are not willing to
make home application OF their principles. -
There is no consistency between their precepts
and their practices 1t is one Of the slngularl-
ties of our present politics. that while all OF the
late slave States are preparing to give the ballot
to their colored population, the leading States OF
the North persist in refusing to make such
concessions. No wonder that the colored peo-
pie are beginning to see the hypocrisy OF the
Radical politicians. 7. San.
