MISSOURI.


ST. LOUIS, JanuaryS.
A general caucus Of the Missouri Leg
islature WAS held at Jefferson City last
night, to hear Gems. SchurZ and Loan,
candidates for the U. s. Senatorship,
define their positions. The caucus turn.
ed out TO be a mass meeting and was
largely attended by citizens generally
as well As by the members. Gen. Loan
being uuwell was not present. The dis.
Cussion was Intended mainly to give
General SChurz Rn opportunity to re-
ply 10 the charges Of his opponents that
he Is In favor OF Immediately enfran-
chtslnR the rebels and turning the State
over to the hands OF the enemy. A
special to the AtLseigCr gives the follow
ing account OF the proceedings OF the
meeting: General Schurz distinctly
denied the above charge, and stated he
was Hstonlshed at II, after so Ireuuent-
ly and emphatlGally declaring his posi-
ton on the question. He divided the
question into two parts. Federal and
state, and said in the United States
Senate he wOuldsupport the following
amendments:
FIrst-General suffrage without dis
tinction Of color or previous condition,
but recognizing the right Of State to
dlsfranChIse on account Of felony or re.
bellion. -.
Second-Au amendment to reduce
every rebellious State TO territorial con-
dition; 30 far as Missouri was concern
ed negro suffrage was Justice due to
the negro, and rebel suffrage was
grace TO be done to the dIsloyal.
He was first for justice and second for
grace. He was for repeating the dis.
iranchisement act only after negro sui.
frRge was adopted. He ridIunled the
constitutional performances OF Messrs,
Drake & Co., and said had he been a
member OF the Convention he never
would have consented 10 make enfran.
chtsement easier than negro suffrage.
AS the Drake Constitution did. He ne.
Verely criticised both Senators Drake
and henderson, for leaving Washing.
ton at 30 critical moment only for the
purpose OF. defeating him. He stigma
tlZed The charges made against him as
wilinl lies. He declared that he had
never belonged TO any ring, and
treated the subject OF patronage
of no consequence to him, He
concluded by observing that his
name was known far and wide, and
never had la Senatorial election com.
manded so much attention both in
America and Europe as this one hnd,
lie believed his election would greatly
encourage immigration to this country
and State. General Loan not being
present, Mr.. Drake was invited to
speak. lie said he could not bO ex.
pecled to reply OtT.hand to well pre-
pared speech, assGIling so violently,
but he offered to answer at some time,
whereupOn tho caucus invited him TO
name the day. Before sitting down,
Mr. Drake made somO very bitter re-
marks against Gen. SchufX, striking
bard blows and saying he would show
IN his response whose heart best an.
swers the pulsations OF the great radI.
cal party. Mr.. Henderson WAS then
called upon and spoke, rIdIculiug many
OF the remarks OF Gen. Schurz, adyo.
Gated his own reelection, and made II
strong effort In behalf OF the repeal of
the Acknowledgement act.

TENNESSEE,
MEMPHIS, January

"kMihlSI January 5.
A shooting affray occurred nj 10
o'clock this morning, on the corner of
Second and Market streets, resulting In
the death of Edwin Whitfield, OF the
firm OF Moore Il Whitfield, Cotton Fac.
tors, byS. A. Doran, u gambler. DorAn
had rented the house from Whitteld'S
father, and kept such disreputable
company that an attempt In the courts
was made to eject him. Doran this morn.
Ing published a card In the Apulnnche
denouncing both Whitfeld's as thieves,
liars and poltroons. Edwin Whitfield
and Major Moore went 10 the house for
the purpose 1t Is supposed of ohastising
Doran. On knocking, the door was
opened and Whitfield entered. The
door was slammed In Moore's face and
locked. The shooting commenced sim.
ultAnsouSly with the locking of the
door, when Moore and crowd was nj.
tracted by the firing, and burst the door
open. Whitfield was found living ON
the floor, dying, and Doran and two
women standing In tho centre OF tho
room, cried out that he surrendered,
ne ana the women were taken to Jail,
Whttheld's pistol WAS found on him
never having been drawn. He was
shot through the body five times, and
beaten over the head with n pistol,
There Is strong talk Of lynchlng Doran,
Whitfield was an exemplary young
mau, recently married, and during the
war served on the staff under General
Dick Taylor.
The AVdlGRcheS Little Rock specIRl
tonight says the great surprise is felt
here at Gen. Porters report OF affairs
In this State, as he was hero only one
day, he could have no opportunity OF
obtaining information as to the bad
conduct OF the militia In various parts
OF the State.
