MISSOURI POLITICS.

While the Republicans in Missouri were
discussing in their own camps the pro-
priety Of removing all disabilities from
the Democrats, the latter were applauding
the liberal Republicans with all the soft
and honeyed expressions known to the
oratory of ancient or modern eloquence.
They did not hope to carry the day them
selves, but were only anxious to see Re
publicanism liberal and magnanimous.
This was before the two wings of Republi-
canism set themselves against one another
on the question Of reimbursement,
and before there was a probability that
such division would happen. Now,
however, that split has occurred, all on
their account too, the Democrats have en-
tered the field, and are more busy abusing
the liberal Republicans, than the wing that
says they ought not to be allowed to vote.
The reason of their abuse is, that the libe-
rails are the strongest, and the Democratic
game is to drive voters into supporting
Governor McClurg, in order to weaken
Governor Brown, by which little move
ment it hopes to poll vote strong enough
to elect its own candidate.
There is no sense in this thing on the
Republican side, and there is neither
sense nor gratitude nor honesty on the
side of the Democrats. Republicans
should at once heal this matter by agree
ing to submit the question to the people,
as we propose to do in Louisiana; and
both sides ought to join at once, as they
will before the election, in shipping the
Democrats out for good. Men who have
SO little sense that they suppose the Re
publicans are going to quarrel about a
bone until it is carried away by third
party, are too weak to be entrusted with
the political power of great State; and
men who are SO ungrateful that they turn
upon the party that proposes to help
them, will not be lamented after they are
whipped out OF their little ambition and
great obstinacy.

PARTISAN TRADING,

1t is interesting TO watch the trading
| that is going on in the various Democratic
wigwams. Some of these deckers are
fully eight miles long, extending from the
barracks to the lower limits Of Carrollton.
Pollywog sets himself up for Sheriff in
the upper part of the parish, and Skim
milk allows his disinterred friends to
nominate him for Coroner in the lower
regions of Orleans. They combine their
forces and offer to trade off this accumu-
lated capital with Bullpup, who
wants to go to the LeGisla
ture. None Of these men expect
to get what they profess to be after, but
on the principle that to kill partridge it
is necessary to shoot pigeon, they aim
high in order to hit lower game. With
their combinations they expect to enter
the convention tolerably strong, and this
strength they propose to sell for the best
nomination they can get. And the chances
are that Pollywog, Skin1-milk and Bull
pup will all get positions. They have
been in the business for years, and know
when and where to strike. 1t Impossible
to take them in by poker red, for they
have seen hot iron too often.
This IS the kind Of game which beats
TIE Times and all its rigmarole about
honest elections Men with money run
from one club to another and pack the
nominations. 1t is not a question of
principle, but rather one Of mutual decep-
ton. Pollywog tells an enthusiastic ad-
vocate Of the white mans party that he
can poll big negro vote, and the white
mans party man gives in his support be-
cause he thinks Pollywog is cheating the
negroes very happily. Bullpup has got
tremendous run Of negro friends, and
he ought to be nominated in order to
beat the Radicals at their own game.
Bullpup > is nominated. Skim-milk
can carry the negroes because he
is mean enough topromise them anything
in double sense. He is nominated.
Who has been cheated? According to
reasonable common sense, the swindle in
all these cases has been put upon the man
who was shallow enough to have party
which only hoped to succeed by practising
treachery and deception. The entire
batci. is dishonest, and every man OF
them deserves to be beaten for being so
willing to beat each other.
Still this kind of trading is going on
day after day, and will not stop until the
convention has ratifedit, and slorifed it
with high sounding preambles and reso-
lutions. Nobody is sold but the people,
and they have been traded off at their
own expense.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

A Chinese mob killed some foreigners
in Tien-Tsin, and the world is thrown
into fever about it, which can only be
cured by an armed coalition between
England and France, and ferocious war
on China. Having kept our shirt on be-
cause we had seen men and women shot
down and massacred nearer home, it ap-
pears that our philosophy in this case has
been partially justified. The authorities
of the Chinese Empire are taking the most
active measures to arrest the murdcrers,
and in this particular they are even more
active than Abel was in arresting the
murderers Of this place in 1866, or than
the authorities in Attakapas were in
bringing to justice the miscreants who
killed the negroes right and left in Frank
lin.
The mob at Tien-Tsin was an ignorant
mass of people, who had had their chill
dren stolen, and who believed that this
traffic in their sons and daughters was
DtiI5 GuIItcti OA W taSC0i1T iOItI1utIS.
As we have lately had some experience
about stolen children, it is easy to
imagine what even ;his intelligent COM
munity would do if the stories were cred
tied that the poor negroes kidnapped
children and sacrificed them to internal
gods. Crediting our own race with all its
good qualities, such a belief could not
prevail in our midst without provoking a
fearful act. And these Chinese, less fa-
vored than we are, having their children
stolen day by day, at last rose on the
people they were told were doing it.. AS
usual, the good and the bad went down
together. And while we deplore the fate
OF the unfortunate, let us, at least, have
charity enough to look at our own record
before we 60 abroad with fire and sword.
There are hundreds of bold, bad foreigners
in China, just as there have been in Mex
leo, who have taken advantage Of Euro

last winter. From 500 to 800 shares were
sold yesterday in the stocks of the follow

les and finders, Bank Of America and
Crescent Ciry-all on private terms. This
reticence is the natufai consequence OF
our present weak market, and it Is in
possible to severely criticise the motives
of the dealers in holding back prices.
Principals refuse to allow the terms Of
sales to be published and of course the
brokers obey. For 20 shares Bank of

TWO PICTURES.

Senator Morton, of Indiana, is Pho
tographer of the first rank, and if the de-
formity known as the Democratic party
ever hears that he is taking pictures IN
the neighborhood, it suddenly finds a
small engagement somewhere else to at
tend to. But he caught it unawares the
other day at Terre Haute, and at once set
his lens in working order, and burned out
on common sized plate the only picture
it is capable of producing. In order that
not only the world at large, but the party
itself, may see what photograph the
Democracy makes when properly taken,
we hang up in our gallery the picture
which Senator Morton drew of it at Terre
Haute.
Sympathy with the rebellion! Devotion
to slavery! Hostility to universal suffrage ).
Persecution of the freed people! Oppose
ton to the civil rights bill! Favorable to
regulation! Adverse to the reduction of
the debt! Votes in Congress against re-
ducing taxation! Prejudiced against the
Union soldier! Committed to low wages
At the same time he was invited to
paint daguerreotype OF the Republican
party, which was present at the same time
and place, and as an amiable and charita-
BILE face is always better subject for
Photographic album than surly and dis
contented physiognomy, the Senator fol-
lowed up his disagreeable task by the
pleasanter one of painting in lines of
light the party that has been just to its
friends and charitable to all. Such pic
ture always cheers up the world at large
by satisfying that integrity, industry, pa
triotism, faith, hope and charity. abide
and abound in the family man whatever
the spirit Of disorder, prejudice, disloy
atty, injustice, despair and uncharitable-
ness may do to break down and discour-
age them. So we hang up the Repubi-
can picture, and challenge look at the
features.
II abolished slavery; it established uni
versal suffrage; it gave liberty to oil Sec
tons; it protected the civil rights OF all
men; it defeated repudiationi it gave re-
publican government to the South; it built
the Pacific Railroad; it pissed the home
stead law; it opened Row roads into the I'M
inhabited public domain; it secured pensions
and homesteads to the Union soldiers; it
has reduced the national debt STAG, 600
in sixteen months, thus certainly securing
the extinction of the whole debt in less than
fifteen years; it has reduced taxation $780,
000,eO in one bill; it has passed revenue
tariff with full incidental protection to
American labor: it has reduced the prospec
tive interest on the national debt.

pean greatness to abuse the hospitality Of
China by stealing her people, men, women
and children. And now, because mob
has fallen upon the strangers, and mixed
up their vengeance on all alike, are we to
still further press the heel of power and
injustice On the world, and make the
weak and unoffending pay in blood and
tears for what the indignant but mistaken
mob in Hen-Tsin did? No. Let the au-
thorities of China deal with the offenders.
And let them pursue our thieves and
man-stealers from the soil of Confucius.
This is what we would ask for ourselves,
and let us grant it to the Chinese.

INSPECTION OF WHARVEs AND LEvEEs

The Mayor and Council with the ex-
ception of Administrator Pierce, who was
unwelD, took trip Of inspection, yester-
dav, of the whole river front of the city. IN
Guiding all the wharves, levees and ferry
landings, and examined the locations OF
the parish boundaries on both sides of the
river. For some time back questions and
matters of legislation have accumulated
relative to all these subjects, including
disputes respecting riparian rights, all OF
which made it desirable that an inspection
and personal view be had by the Mayor
and Administrators.

Good Intent Towboat Company, having,
sometime since. rendered one of the splen-
did towboats Of that line for the purpose.
the municipal officers embarked at ten
o'clock yesterday morning on the Thomas
A. Morgan, Captain Yorke, and all on
board concur in praising both boat and
officers. The party proceeded first to the
upper line Of the Sixth District, and
then down to the lower boundary
of the right bank, distance
of about fifteen miles, stopping
at several points on the way. Crossing
the line Of the parish Of Plaquemine,
they called on and We're received with a
hearty welcome by Charles J. Where, a
scion of one Of the Oldest and most his
toric families of the State. Returning, the
boat halted and the excursionists viewed
the work in progress on the Moves canal.
After again hating to examine the re-
pairs of wharves i'll progress, under the
administration of General West, the party
returned to the City Hall
We have no doubt the trip has opened
the eyes Of our city legislators to many
practical wants Of the city and its COM
merce. as well as Of its rural residents
now covering so fine territory as that Of
the right bank, extending so many miles
below AIgiers, and embracing fine planta-
tiOns and villas.

good deal Of attention. The stock sold at
improved rates. What it is that has
awakened this interest, he's not transpiled,
but the demand is increasing, while there
is nothing new as to the prospects Of
draining the rear Of the city, or the dig
cling of the canal. Lots of 400, 1000,
1900 and 1900 shares sold at the startling
price of so cents On the hundred dollars !;
400 and 800 shares brought So cents. The
stock may be safely. quoted at the latter
figure, say thirty-five hundredths of one
