gradual decrease in receipts; ex-

Not a single influential journal that
we have seen attempts the defense o.
the Congressional majority, who, by
refusing an American registry TO foreign
built ships, virtually declared that the
carrying trade of this country shall be
transferred TO foreign hands. Monop-
oily has its apologists in Congress, but
in this instance it is without defenders
in the Press. The journals usually
loudest in the championship OF a selfish
cause are for once shamcd into silence
Their silence betrays the weakness of
the mouopolists' position, hut it will
not deceive the people as to the real
origin Of our country's helplessncss in
respect Of n mercantile marine. Our
ship-builders have not been able to
build ships, because OF the taxation
imposed 10y the tariff upon the mate
rails OF their trade; and our Navigation
laws will not permit us to buy cheap
ships built elsewhere. Forthese things,
the ultra protectionists are responsible

NEGRO suffrage in Missouri does not
seem to please the Radicals. They can
manage the negroes and keep hem in
line, but the white men are constantly
leaping the enclosure. To he sure the
negroes all vote the Radical ticket bu,
the result is that enough of white men
leave them and join the Democrats to
defeat them handsomely. There was a
local election at Louisiana, Pike county
Missouri, on the 2lst, for Clerk of the
City Council; and as the Radical
strength in the place had been increased
by the addition OF $50 colored voters,
ii was confidently expected they would
elact their man. But they did not. He
was beaten by JOHN D. THuRNoND,
Democrat, 10y a majority of 50. All
the negroes hut TIVE voted for RoDGERs,
RADICAL but all the white people did
not Nor will all the white men vote
for the NEGRO ticket in this city and
State.

ONE HUNDRED housekeepers in St.
Louis have completed arrangements for
the introduction of Chinese house-serv-
ants into their families. The necessary
negotiations have been made with the
Chinese emigration society in San Fran
cisco, and the first instalment will num-
Der about three hundred. The house
keepers who have joined in this enter
prise have agreed to pay good wages,
certain stipulated sums, and to afford
all necessary protection for the term OF
years for which their servants are en-
ployed. On the other hand, guarantees
of good service are given by the Chinese
under forfeiture of contract. This will
open new era in the history of house
keeping in st. Louis.

Radical Murmurings.

General GRANT has proved an utter
and entire failure as President. Not
one of The hopes Of his friends has been
realized. He was elevated to.office on
a platform fioated by the most sxtrava-
CANT promises. He was heldup as
Second Washington in patriotism, a
Second Jefferson in political knowledge,
man Of action, and bitter antagonist
OF ali shams and pretenses. His admir-
istration was to be not only pure, but
unsuspected-at once simple, practical
and outspoken. These were ante-eiee-
ton pledges. How have they been re-
allied? General GRANT began his
career by the acceptance Of presents,
and the appointment of men to ONCE
who helped to pay for the gifts, He
called to his council persons Of doubtful
reputation, traders and dealers in poll
tics in whom the reputable men Of both
parties had no confidence. He lent his
aid to such schemes as that in relation
to San Domingo, and used the power OF
the Government to benefit few job
bers. In the meantime the foreign pol
lev OF the nation has been standing
disgrace in the eyes Of other countries.
The Alabama claims are not settled, and
Spain butchers American citizens in
Cuba with IMMUNITY. In his manage
ment of the appointment OF representa-
tives abroad, like miserable policy
has prevailed. SICKLEs, moral leper,
who is Stunned by all decent men, was
sent to Spain, while MOTLEY is recalled
from England, because Mr.. SUMNER
would not allow the GRANr-BAEz treaty
to pass the Senate.
The people know these facts, and
mutterings OF discomfort are heard on
all sides. Not alone from Democrats
and Democratic journals comes up the
cry against the President, his policy,
and his actions; hut many leading Rad
ical papers are reviewing and censuring
their President as well for what he has
done as what he has omitted to do.
