The Pilot has informed Us that Alcorn,
Tarbell & Co., We're serenaded on the oc-
casion of the meeting Of the Republican
Board of Trustees of the University, at
Oxford
Weare not aware that when the veneer
able ex-Chief Justice Sharkey, and Gen1
Charles Clark, with his limbs mangled in
the service of his State, have visited the
University, they were treated with
such distinction.
Can our friends Of the Falcon inform
us whether this serenade was a general
outburst of popular feeling-whether it
was a one-sided political ahair-or wheth-
er it was gotten up especially for TarbelPs
benefit in return for the compliment he
paid to the people of the South, when he
testified to the Congressional Committee
as follows:
"What slavery failed to touch, has been
toreckcd by secession ana treason. The
social, business religioas.and political history
of the South, viii show more bad FAITH de-
ceptjoH and reachery u, q single State than in
aliHe States cfdte North, PIT together. Even
in their dali Intercourse the Southern peo-
pie are full of great promises to each other
they never expect to redeem and of graRdi
loqusHt compliments, trho}ly false.
These are features OF chiUdlry."
Assuredly the author of this fgrandil-
oquent compliment merited another in
return; and the time was well chosen
1t was at the moment of his connection
with the management of the University;
and when he toyk upon himself the Cody
mission of elevating the ''social. business
and religious condition of the heather
amongwhom, by an inscrutable providence,
he has been sent.
MIssoURI-Th difference in the po-
sition occupied by the two wings Of the
Radical party in Missouri is that the reg
ulars have declared in favor Of the re-
moval of the political disabilities of the
whites as soon as it can be done consist
emily with the safety Of the Union and of
the loyal people; and the boilers have de-
clared that the time has actually arrived.
The regulars endorsed the Grant Admin
istration; the boilers ignored it altogeth
er, seeing that they could not consistently
declare for universal reimbursement and
at the same time endorse an Administra-
ton whose policy Is the essence of political
prescription.
In Missouri out Of the $50, 600 tax-pay-
ing citizens, $500 Conservatives were
robbed of their right of suffrage by the
Republican usurpers. The St. Louis
Republican notifies the competing fac
tons that the relief of these disfranchis-
ed citizens in the paramount aim of the
Conservatives. The votes of the Con-
servatives will decide the contest
and they will be cast with that view-
The Republican pithily saws:
We can tell Mr.. Browns friends. and Gov.
McClurg's friends, and the friends of all
others interested in the matter, that the I'M
conditional release of tile large body of
white men in Missouri from the cruel pro-
scription inflicted upon them by the ruling
party is the supreme object and aim of the
Democracy in Missouri.
And when this object is accomplished,
Missouri viii be delivered from the plum
derers and take her position with Tennes-
see, Kentucky, and North Carolina per-
manently in the column of Conservative
States.
