LoYALIAwLEssNEss IN MISSOURI

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. %.
There is no State, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, nor from the Canada border 10
the Gulf in which is more lawlessness,
less respect for individual life and property,
and greater disregard for the amenities
and proprieties of civilized life, than in
Missouri. Murders, robberies, house and
barn-burning, horse thieving, and other
oTtraees, are of daily and nightly occur
renee. And they are, almost without an
exception, perpetrated by so-called loyal
lists. Those who were in the Confederate
service, and those whose sympathies were
supposed TO be with the South in its strug-
gle for a separate government and indie
pendence, are not the only victims to this
loyai lawlessness. Union men, who la
bored for the Federal cause and gave it
their warm support, but who are unwilling
10 90 the whole length of Radicals in rela-
ton TO reconstruction and the negroes,
come in for their share of loyal violence
and outrage, as if they had been Rebels
or Rebel sympathizers.
The latest exhibition Of this manifesto
ton Of loyalism was in Lafayette county,
where the State militia-sO-called- under
the command Of the notorious Major Mont
gomery, murdered citizens, plundered
houses, and destroyed presses. At Rich
mond was a paper called the Freeman, the
Office Of which, on Sunday night, was
entered by squad of militia, acting under
the orders Of Montgomery, and the presses
and type destroyed, and its proprietor
arrested and carried of a prisoner, and
aflerward lodged in Jail While in jail,
the proprietor was compelled by these loyal
freebooters, with pistols pointed at his
head, 10 sign 4 card acknowledging that he
was TO blame, and that the troops had
served him and his Office right. AT the
same time, United States officials had TO
fee aud hide themselves to save their lives.
So outrageous were the acts Of these loyal
thieves and murderers, that Union citizens
Of st. Louis were compelled 10 get up
memorial 10 the President on the subject
with the request that he would send II 10
Congress, and invite 10 il the serious atten-
ton Of that body. Union papers here and
there over the State were also compelled,
by the atrocities Of these State troops, 10
denounce the conduct of Governor Fletcher,
in sending them into the counties where he
had ordered them TO rendezvous. None Of
the authorities there had asked him for as
sistance, nor was there any pretense that
the courts could not execute their writs. II
was an set of the Governor simply
and solely to give 10 desperadoes an oppor
tunity to plumber and murder, and strike

The Governor has appointed Mr. John
r. Henry, of Knoxville, Treasurer for the
State, to succeed Dr. Stanford, whose
resignation takes effect to-day We
showed the other day that the Code re-
quires the Comptroller to settle the ac-
counts Of a deceased resigned, or re-
moved Treasurer and the Code further
requires the Comptroller " to deliver over
the books, papers, and money belonging
to the treasury, to the successor of such
deceased, resigned, or removed Treasu-
rer.' The Comptroller is not in the city
to make this settlement with the resigned
Treasurer, to receive from him the books,
papers and money belonging to the
treasury, and hand the same over to his
successor The law is specific upon this
point There is some curiosity to see
how the difficulty will be got over.

The House Committee of WAYS and
Means will recommend a modification of
the income tax, exempting from taxation
all incomes under 1000 a year. The

Congressman are divided in their express
sions of opinion upon the subject of amend

of Southern States. A large number of
Republicans assert their willingness to
make this a basis of admission to all truly

the conservative wing of the party the
other extreme members being opposed to
committing themselves upon the question.
1t is not improbable that a caucus will be
held to consider the propriety of offering
the amendment to the South as fnality.
