The St. Louis Democrat, leading and
original Republican paper in the West,
speaking of the Maine election, says
The true comparison, with the last cleo
tion at which national questions were In
Nolyed, shows reduction of the Republic
can majority from 20,404 to 1850. This Is In
part due to the fact that the vote this year
Is hgAter than that of the year preceding a
Presidential contest. But with due allow
ance for that important difference, there
still remains evidence that the Republican
force IN Maine has been weakened since
September 1868.
But, in truth, the significance of the
Maine election is lost sight of in the
presence of the more important contests
which are soon to be decided in New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, &C., and
which viii afford pretty CLAIR indication
of tho way the next Presidential election
viii go.

Ex-President johnson, disappointed in
his expectation to be taken up and made
the leader Of the Tennessee Conserva-
tives, is again swinging round the circle
and trying TO produce discomfort in their
ranks because their platform asserts the
doctrine of local self-government in op-
position to the Capitalization Of power in
the Federal Government. He sees in
this feature the ghost Of secession, not
withstanding the nomination by the Con-
vention of a candidate for Governor.

ting the Trustees who were removed from

led some Of the old fossils under whose
"Trip Van Wrinkle administration the
University had become fossilised.
We, of course, arc not expected to re
pei the assaults of the Radical press on
the distinguished members of the old
Board who were not marked out for pro-
scription. They are no less absurd than
malignant. Wequote them only to show
the motive and spirit Of the new mana
gers of the institution. The same paper
adds:
1t Is the intention of the Governor, alone

Receipts Of cotton at the port of New
Orleans, for the week ending 23rd inst. d,
were S955 bales, embracing $50 from
other delivery ports and 84l6 proper,
against $40 proper last week, and 13, 054
last year. Receipts proper since August
3lst; 1868 bales against 22,397 last
year. The receipts at all ports in the U.
g.. show defect of about IL, 500 bales
compared with the corresponding season
last year. The present season has been
unusually favorable for picking cotton;
and the crop commenced opening earlier
than usual, in consequence of the unusal
dryness of the weather. 1t should be
be borne in mind, however, that the low
price may have deferred producers from
sending their crops forward.

The Radical newspapers keep parading
the name of Chancellor Waddell before
the public in connection with the Univer-
sity, as if he had been assailed by THE
CLARION or any other conservative news
paper. The mongrel organs know that
we have said nothing desparaging of that
Justly honored gentleman; they know
that We hold him in higher reverence
than any of them dare hypocritically to
profess. We know his answering fdeli-
ty to the South In other days, and his
loathing of Mongrelism at this very hour;
and we know his abilities as an educator.
But it is because we hold him in such es-
TEEN that we have denounced the act
which places him and the rest of the Fac
ulty and the students Of the University,
in the leading strings of partizan Mon
grel Board of Trustees, holding their
places by the grace of the Tarbell-War-
ner-Alcorn Regime, with the sword ofpro-
scription hanging by hair over their
heads and with the example before them
of the expulsion of Walthall, Yerger,
Howry and others, because their politics
were not to the taste of the Radical rulers.

The Great Head OF tho Republican
Party Declares for Prescription.


The Republican party has split asundor
in Missouri. One wing has declared its
opposition to the enfranchisement Of the
$4,000 prescribed citizens of the State;
and the other for the immediate removal
of their disabilities. The latter were out
voted in the regular Convention, and
bolted under the lead Of Senator Shurz
and others. Now, as the great head of
the Republicna party, President Grant
communicates the liberals and calls
upon the truly loyal to support the Eter-
nal Hateites as follows:
Il regard the movements headed by Carl
Shurz. Brown, etc, as similar to the Tennes-
see and Virginia movements, intended TO
carry 4 portion of the Republican party over
to the Democratic, and thus give them con-
troll. hope you will all sec your way clear
to give the regular ticket your support"
