MISSOURI POLITICS.

The Republican party of Missouri, following
the bad example set by Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, formally divided into two factions at
the State Convention held at Jefferson City
last week, by nominating two distinct State
tickets, from Governor down to Attorney
General. The main difference in principle
between those organizations is in regard to
the repeal of the laws disfranchising Rebels
the members Of the present State Government
opposing such a repeal, while the new lights,
who are under the leadership of Carl Sohurz
and B. Gratz Brown, favor the destruction of
political disabilities. Personal quarrels, how
ever, are probably the real foundation of the
difficulty and it is to be feared that the
jealousies of the big little men whom the
Republicans have endowed with power will
soon remand Missouri back to Democratic
management One by one the old slavehold-
ing Commonwealths are passing under the
control of their former masters, and
if the Republicans within their
limits do not speedily learn wisdom and mu-
tual forbearance, they will be shorn of every
semblance of power. The nation cannot
quarter armies among them, or pass special
acts of Congress, hereafter, to enable them to
carry their elections, and if they fritter away
their strength they must bear the penalty of
O succession of Democratic or Conservative
victories.
The loss Of Missouri, through these stupid
dissensions, will be especially unfortunate.
She has greatly advanced in wealth and popu-
lation despite the devastations perpetrated
during the war, and she bids fair
to become one Of the most productive
and powerful States in the Upion. No other
slaveholding Commonwealth has recuperated
so rapidly, and if wise and honest Republican
rule had been assured to her for few years
longers she would have gained firm footing on
the high road of prosperity, while her own
political future would have been relieved of
harassirg anxieties. What the Democrats
or Conservatives will do with her remains to
be seen, but if we are to judge by the gov
ernments they have maintained in the Border
States of Delaware, Maryland, and Kentucky,
progress and prosperity will receive severe
check in Missouri when the men who tried to
force her into rebellion resume the reins of
power.
1t is alleged that the Democrats of Missouri
do not intend to nominate distinct ticket
this fall, and they are expected to support
the 'iberal" Republican nominees. The re-
suit of such combinations is plainly fore
shadowed in the present political condition of
Tennessee. This year the Conservatives may
be content with division of their adver-
saries. Hereafter they will conquer both
wings of the Republican party in detail.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR THE
LHDIrDL In

AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR THE
NEW REPUBLIC.
IT Is said that the first act of Jules Favre, as
Minister of Foreign Affairs, was ''to send
despatch to the United States Government,
asking the moral support, sympathy, and
goodwill of the first Republic of the New
World, in the names of Washington and Lafa-
yette, to the first Republic of the Old World"
Whatever may be done by the authorities,
there will be a hearty response to this
request by large portion of the American
people. They have sympathised with Ger
many in her resistance to the wicked war
which Napoleon thrust upon her, but now
that he is righteously punished for his folly
and his crimes, they would be sorry to see
the cup of French bitterness unnecessarily
filed to overhowing. The new republic is
called into existence at a time when the in
capacity of the late rulers is as palpable as
their wickedness. The nation has learned
that the wise man who was supposed
to know so much more about gov
ernment than his fellow-mortals that
he was entrusted with supreme power
was as foolish as he was villainous. The i'm
perid favorites prove totally incapable OF
directing the whirlwind they have raised.
With all the resources of the nation at their
disposal, they have not known how to employ
them, and absolute control of the sword and
purse of forty millions of brave and intell-
gent people has not enabled them to avert the
most disgraceful defeats, or to protect the
most important portion OF French territory
from invasion. II is at time when Impe-
rialism is a confessed failure, when

TrE GERMAN DEMOCRATS of New York are
growing restive under the insults heaped
upon them in some of the discussions Of war
topics by leading Democratic journals and
especially by the New York World. In view
of the fact, too, that while their Fatherland
was wdnning new glories, their political
brethren of the Celtic persuasion were de-
voutly praying for the triumph of France,
they do not feel strongly disposed to vote for
the usual number of Irish-American nomi-
nees. In this ENHANCEMENT the New York
Republicans are beginning to see chance
for recovering portion of their lost strength.
They drove off many of their German allies
by the Excise law, but they may recruit their
shattered forces now, if the breach between
the Celts and the Saxons is not speedily
honled

MURDER RAMPANT IN NEW YORK.
THE New York Times publishes list of
thirty-six homicides committed in New York
city during the months of June, July, and
August, and it states that a large number of
victims of felonious assaults perpetrated
during the same period remain in a pre-
carious condition, at least one hundred per-
sons having been dangerously wounded.
There was no lack of variety in the motives
which prompted these crimes, or in the
murderous weapons used. Husbands killed
their wives, mothers killed their children,
thieves killed their companions as well as
men they had robbed. Medical malpractice
swelled the long list. One woman was
kicked to death, Others were beaten to
death, and one died from injuries inflicted
by being thrown out Of q window. Some
men were fatally stabbed with long knives,
some with jsck-knives, and one with pen
knife. One man was killed by blow from
an axe, one by blow from a broomstick,
one by paving-stone, one by bayonet, and
number by pistOl-shot and gun-shot wounds
Some o! the murderers were boys, some were
women, and some We're politicians" To
crown the long catalogue, the Nathan murder
made sufficient sensation TO even startle
community which habitualiy regards the
sacrifice OF human life as an everyday occur
renee.
The most remarkable part of the story is
that while more than four hundred feIonious
assaults were committed during this period,
resulting in the infiiction of dangerous
wounds on more than one hundred persons,
and the death of thirty-six victims, not one
of the criminals has been brought to trial
In some cases the guilty parties have been
arrested, bnt number of them have been

DRUNKENNESS ABATING.
From the Baltimore American.


There is at the present time q more cheer
ing indication of the progress of temperance
In the matter of strong drink than has been
the case for years. In all parts of the country
we observe movements that are hopeful and
promising. Heretofore temperance societies
have been formed mostly of temperate people,
and but few of their members would drink
even if they belonged to no society. They
have labored earnestly, but not in the right
direction. They have held their meetings
and discoursed upon the evils of in
temperance mostly to those who are fully
convinced of its destructive effects on the hu-
man system. They have not associated with
moderate drinkers, who are the most dan
gerous class, but have rather sought for the
confirmed sots for whom there is no redemp-
tion. They have endeavored to rescue men
who may be drawn off from their folly for
| brief period, but who are sure to return to it
as the hog to its wallow. Those who have
| watched the confirmed drunkard ought to
Know that in ninety-nine cases out of a hum
dred permanent reclamation is impossible.
Inc TACT Is that the sooner such people die
tne petter II is for themselves, for their fami-
hes, ana tor all connected with them, and
PROBABLY Tor their own souls. The experience
OF the various drunkards' asylums proves this,
and the sooner the moderate drinker is con-
ylncea tnat ne is gradually approaching the
| cOnnrma0
unredeemable sot, the better it will be for the
success OF the temperance cause.
True, some men may be able to restrain
their appetite for liquor within reasonable
bounds, and continue through life 10 he
moderate drinkers. But every such moda,
rate drinker, by his example, tempts others
to take an occasional drink who have not the
power to control their appetites. He is con-
stantly inviting his friends to take social
glass, and oftentimes thinks it good joke to
make them tipsy. But if he will only examine
the daily lists of deaths in the papers, he win
find that almost one-third of his male ac.
quaintances have shortened their lives, il
they have not met q sudden death, by endea.
voring to follow his example as moderate
drinker. a .n
The fact is that one-half the drunkards in
the world have to blame their fathers and
mothers for their downfall. The parading OF
| liquor on their sideboards, the drinking OF
it at their tables, and the free access of theil
9 children to it lays the foundation of the appe
: tite, which grows with their growth, ant

"A MAGAZINE MYSTERY. 50

.
Captain Mayne Reid, who is very we'll and
very creditably known as the author of nume
rous melodramatic relations of moving acci-
dents by food and field, has lately appeared
in the new character of the protector and
conductor of q magazine, of the existence of
which we imagine many of our readers are
now for the first time apprised. The name of
it was OnWdrd, and it has been conducted
so rapidly onward that in the February num-
Der it gives up the ghost, having fiickered fit-
fully for fourteen months.
Te Captain Mayne Reid this untoward con-
summation is not only lamentable, but mex
plicable. 1t strikes him with wonder that q
publication which had the advantage not only
of his contribution, but of his management,
should thus early die, and make no sign upon
the politics or the society of the country and
the age in which it appeared. Why is this
thus ''Why, says Captain Mayne Reid, in
the hour of his agony-''why has On'0drd
not received public supports" And to this
question he asks-nay, he ''demands"-fro
the universe in general an explanation.
He has tried, he knows he has, to do his
readers good. He has tried to give then
teachings" and TO ''inculcate" in them
E'faith" And yet they have refrained from
buying his magazine with an unanimity and
persistency which, it seems to him, can onl,
have been born in spite, and which he car
only view with profound and simple disgust.
What renders it still more strange, in tn,
view of Captain Mayne Reid, is that the pres
has uttered ''paan of unpaid praise" in hi
behalf. And he cites some sixteen pages O
notices from the provincial press, which al
concur to praise him, from the ArOOstoO
Pioneer in Maine and the CanGj0hor5e Stat

And again, it is clear that the strict trans
Pacific course-say from San Juan to Halo-
dadi, is only 3190 miles in length, while that
from Sitka to Japan is only 2490. 1t is evil
dent that the project is perfectly practicable,
and that it need not be long before we have

China, as we have it now from England and

LET THE NEGRO ALONE.

From the ~ Y. Sun.
The negro, having got his thirteenth, his
fourteenth, and his fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution, ought soon to disappear
from the theatre Of Federal politics as a star
actor, and hereafter figure only on the local
boards Of the Southern States.
MIR. Wendell Phillips wants Congress to
give the negro land. But he can get land
enough for nothing under the existing Home
stead acts. If he has scruples about obtain
ing it at so cheap rate, he can pay dollar
and q quarter an acre for it under the old
statutes. But he wants land in the South.
Well, we doubt not the great land owners Of
that section will sell him all he desires at low
rates, or even give it to him, provided he will
vote the Democratic ticket. This bargain
will be very likely to be entered into to a
moderate extent, and may prove remunera-
tive to both the contracting parties.
Mr.. Sumner wants the United States to
provide schools for the Southern negroes
We presume Congress will do nothing Of the
sort 1t is important for all classes that the
freedmen should enjoy the privilege of COM
mon schools, and no class will appreciate
this fact more highly than the large property
holders Of that part of the Union. They will
no doubt soon establish a system of schools
adapted to the needs of a portion of their
population in whose enlightenment and good
conduct they have q greater stake than the
citizens of any other section of the country.
OF course the South will not object to the
educational benefactions of the North, whether
they come in the shape of money or teachers,
and, doubtless, after the lapse of time has
soothed the prejudices of the present hour,
they will welcome both.
There are but two things that can hereafter
make the agitation of negro questions dis
turbing element in politics, and especially in
national contests. 1t is the ostentatious
attempt on the one hand to confer upon the
negro special privileges, thus infaming the
prejudices of large masses of white citizens;
and, on the other hand, the persistent effort
to deprive him of the rights he has already
obtained, thus summoning his friends to the
rescue, and arousing the opposition of that
large conservative class who will frown upon
efforts to reopen issues which have once been
closed.
The patriotic mode of hereafter treating
the entire series of controversies which
sprang from the bitter root of slavery, is fol
both political parties and all classes of citizens
to let the negro alone
