ENGLAND.

LONDON, October 1.-The London
journals Of this morning all have posi-
tive articles upon the failure of the Gov
eminent to take any new steps forward
by relinquishing its attitude of studied
non-recognition of the French Republic,
which England alone, of all the other
powers of consequence, has steadily
maintained toward the newborn Gov
eminent. All the journals concur in
the opinion that the. Government has
missed the most favorable opportunity,
by unbending slightly, to win back for
itself the esteem which would have been
warmly awarded had it assumed a closer
attitude of friendship toward the Repub-
lie by extending recognition.
The Times says that by its decision
yesterday, the English cabinet practi-
cally resolved that the time has not yet
come for it to abandon its policy of OBJ
servant neutrality. The sentiment OF
the people of London is one Of supreme
dissatisfaction, the expression of which
may take shape in another of those in
mense open-air demonstrations which
have lately been held within the inclos-
ure at Hyde Park.
The Times says it is impracticable and
improbable that Russia has designs
against Turkey.
Advices from Pekin state that the
Chinese Government has not yet com
piled with the French ultimatum. The
Chinese are arming and assembling in
the north.

Colonel NJ. ID. l.. Stewart was nomi'
mated by W. w. Mcdowell as permanent

and recommended Mr.. Mcdowell to the

the position when, upon motion oi
Colonel r. f. Looney, Mr.. Mcdowell
was elected permanent Chairman of the
Committee, who, in few brief remarks,
thanked the Committee for the compli-
ment paid him, and then accepted the

Upon motion, Captain j. Harvey

Whereas, Colonel ]. J. DuBose has

performed the duties Of Chairman of

MISSOURI POLITICS.

Affairs in Missouri stand just as IN
Tennessee when Senter and Stokes were
running for Governor. The Democracy,
being in a minority, declined to make a
nomination. The Hateites of the Brown
low school nominated McClnrg, and the
liberal Republicans are running b. Gratz
Brown. The division of the party is
decided and final. Either wing would
prefer voting for Democrat than for
the other. The war is bitter and unre-
lenting. The St. Louis Democrat, the
powerful Republican organ which
favored the election Of Senter is out for
Brown with all its influence. Heretofore
the Democrats have held aloof from the
contest, but the St. Louis Republican of
the 18th ult. says:
The campaign on the side of Brown
and McClurg, and on the other hand the
purposes Of the Democracy, have now
been abundantly developed to justify
another step. The time has come for

THE EXECUTIVE coMM1rrEE.

The resignation Of Col. DuBose az
Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee rendered it necessary to re
organize at a meeting held yesterday
Mr.. w. II. Mcdowell was elected TO I'll
the vacancy. As will be seen by the re
port elsewhere, he was present and &C
cepted the position A secretary wa:
elected, and number of gentlemen were
elected members and requested to serve.
The committee is now full in point Of
numbers, and represents with fairness
both city and county. The election is
only moSth hence, and in that time a
great deal of work may have TO be done.
We trust that those elected will accept,
and that all viii attend the
meetings regularly. 1t requires sacri-
fee Of time, as well as considerable work
and attention. But we hold that when a
citizen is called upon to serve the public,
or the Democratic party (whic'. Is the

shirk out of duty which he expects
some poorer or richer, or older or
younger, man to perform. Major Nc
Dowell has set good example by as
suming the responsible and onerous
position of chairman. He is a true
Democrat, an able lawyer, good citizen,
full of energy and executive ability, and
will doubtless make an efficient leader
in the campaign just opening. The
other gentlemen who were elected yes
terday are well-known representative
citizens, who need no higher eommenda-
ton than to be called to serve the Ma
tional Democracy.
