1--WE have met the enemy and We are theirs.n
We are routed, horse, foot and dragons" and
as it is useless to cry over spilled milk, We must
perforce grin and bear our defeat. Our people
must yet little longer groan under the despotc
yoke Of Radicalism; but 1t cannot last always,
for the day will certainly come when we shall
throw of the shackles which now bind as aud
once more proudly raise our heads as free men.
The cause of our failure is palpabe to ALL and IL
is unnecessary to speculate upon tive must &C.
cept the situation and make the best we can of il.
IL is some consolation to know that our people
are not yet so sunk low In degradation as to
regard the Africans as their social equals. The
constitutional amendment Is defeated by q large
majority, the Radical leaders having utterly failed
to convince men. who are their dupes In every
other respect, that the negro is their eqnal. The
Germans form a very large element in the Radi-
cal party. but these men who are radical as the
devil on every other question, were decidedly op-
posed to the niger equality doctrine, and mani
tested their disapproval of it by their votes on
Tuesday. Some ten thousand votes were cast in
favor of the amendment in this county, and of
those ten thousand men who thus degraded them
selves and "gloried In their shame " it il humili.
ating to know that large percentage we're ma
tive Americans. In the opinion of decentmen the
niger is not only the equal but the superior of
any who voted in favor Of the measure. 1o) 81
We have still another fact to console US, which
is. that the renegade preacher. the Plymouth
2pOetat6 0QVouJufof, carpet
bsgger, scslawsg and disgustingly obscene repro
bale, VIM. A. Pile, who for time stole the livery
OF Heaven, In which to serve the devil more ac
ceptably, and who has, since the last congress.
sioDal election, misrepresented us in Congress,
has been defeated by Erastus Wells, gentleman
possessed of wealth and influence, and whose in.
terests are identical with those Of the district
which be Is elected to represent. Mr.: Wells Is
fairly elected, but the Pile Of corruption which
opposed him talks of contrasting his election, and
ha Mr. Will ha ala IN oh ~ Q
Hon. John Hogan, who was honestly elected to
ill the seat now occupied by the putrid Pile.
The election passed of very quietly. Great in
terest was manifested in the result by both par
ties, but not the slightest difficulty occurred, and
away from the neighborhood Of the polls it
seemed like Sunday. The saloons were closed at
O'Clock on Monday evening and remained so till
IL o'clock Tuesday night, in consequence of
streets, but noticed several dry-looking chaps.
Now, that the election is over, we confidently
look Tor an Improvement In all branches Of busi-
ness, and expect to do heavy trade the balance
of the season. -
On the landing things look quite lively, but the
low stage of the water in every direction inter-
feres with navigation. At Hat Island, between
here and Cairo, five feet is the depth, and the
huge Bismarck, which left on Tuesday for New
Orleans. is reported aground at that point. She
is 9 popular boat, Offered by courteous and at
teDtive gentlemen, and il is TO be hoped her de-
teDtion will not be long. 1|r.f1'

and the Olive Branch and Peoria City tomorrow.
The Kate Kinney, a Missouri river boat, will CON-
mence loading for New Orleans on Monday.

ADJUSTMENTS continue to draw their full share
of public patronage. The stock company Is run
ming De Bars opera house this week. owing to
the failsre of Edwin Booth in ping his appoint
ment. However, our people having seen sufi-
cient of this over-rated gentleman last winter,
and having had to pay dearly for their whistle,
pearance.n Maggie Mitchell, with her new play (,
Lorle," is at the Olympic and drawing well, as
indeed Maggie always does. She has not yet in
ficied on Us the inevitable ' Fanchon," but we'll
catch II before she closes her engagement. l
read II think in the CREsCENT) some time ago
that gentleman in New York had offered her
$4,000 TO leave "Fanchon" out of her repor-
toire. and many people regret her non acceptance
of the Offer. Irra
The Varieties is doing very well. They offer a
good variety entertainment at a low price of I'D.
mission, and the votares of fun flock thither.
The great iusionist HartZ will open at Philhar.
monte Hall on Monday night.
The weather is charming, just cool enough to
render little fire comfortable to those who re-
main indoors, but in the street overcoats and furs
are not necessary. II is the season of the year
when 1t is warmer out OF doors than in the house.
