This gentleman was inaugurated Gov
ernor of Missouri the other day. His
inaugural address is in good taste, and
quite pointed. In reference to the late
political contest in Missouri, he says it
has awakened much interest throughout
the country, and its lessons are such as
will 20 far to strengthen confidence in
the appeals directly and resolutely made
to the people in matters Of great con-
Germ. Finding its initial point in the
demand for peace; contemplating the
advantage Of united effort in building
up a thrifty domestic economy trans
cending the ordinary guidance, and
manipulation Of party control, it has

CONCLUSIVE.


Hoffman and Geary, Governors of New
York and Pennsylvania, one Democrat
and the other Republican, agree re-
specting Grants policy of sending the
army and navy to control the ballot-box
Geary says;
The employment Of the United States
troops at elections, without the consent
of the local and State Governments, has
recently received considerable attention
and apprehension. 1t is regarded as an
interference with the sovereign rights Of
the States. which was not contemplated
nv the founders of the General Govern
ment, and, if persisted in, must lead to
results disastrous to peace and harmony.
We desire to invite the attention of
those Radical editors of Tennessee who
last summer threw up great clouds OF
dust because the platform of the Demoe-
racy contained the word sovereign, to
the words italicised in the above extract,
What have they to say of the use of the
word by one of their ownsleading states
men? We leave them here, while we
invite the attention of the reader to an
other passage from the message of the
Pennsylvania Governor. Could Dem
ocrat make a stronger point on the Ad-
ministration than is contained in the fol-
lowing2
The practice is one so serious in its
character, and so injurious in its ten
denotes, as to merit prompt consldera-
ton and decisive action, not only by
the General Assembly, but by Congress.
One of the complaints of the colonists
against the British King was the oppres-
sion growing out of the assumption of
this power. They said, He has kept
among us in times of peace standing
armies, without the consent of our Legls-
lature; and, what is especially pertinent
TO the case in point, He has effected to
render the military independent of and
superior to the civil power.
Poor Grant The time is approach
ing when there viii be none but the
Dents left to do him honor. To have
his public conduct assimilated to that Of
the despicable old tyrant, George the
Third, by such man as Geary, the Rad
ical Governor of such State as Penn
sylvania, is enough to make him cry out
in utter despair. Geary tells him in
effect that he is a usurper, a tyrant, and
suggests to the Legislature and to Con
gress immediate action on the subject.
This protest comes from the right quar-
ter. Resistance should begin at the
North, and the initiative taken by Radi-
Gals themselves, who have turned back
after following Grant to the verge of ruin.

NASHVILLE, January l3.-During the
war B. F. Myers, residing two miles
from Nashville, aged sixty years, and
owning farm worth $4,000, borrowed
five hundred dollars and mortgaged his
farm, and neglecting to pay the principal
or interest, by compounding, it reached
$4,000. The creditors pushed him to the
wall few days ago, and he was forced
to leave his old home, and the conse-
quence was suicide by poison, which he
attempted yesterday, but failed.

The religious portion of the country
seems to have caught the impulse for
constitutional amendments, and desires
a religious feature added. A National
Convention is to be called in furtherance
of the object. Among the signers to a
call occur such names as Judge William
Strong, of the United States Supreme
Court; Bishops McIlvaine, Huntington,
Eastman, Lee, Robertson and White
house, of the P. E. Church, Bishop
Simpson, of the NJ E. Church, and the
Governors of Pennsylvania, Vermont,

STATE FINANCES.

Treasurer Morrow, it has already been
announced, has returned from New York
whittier he went to negotiate 100000 of
State bonds. He failed, and reports the
reason to the Legislature. From his
statement it seems that capitalists had
been informed that the State would re-
sist all bonds illegally issued. This i'm
paired confidence in the future good in
tentions of the State in respect to her
debts. "They agree" Mr.. Morrow in
forms MS, that State which owes near
S35, 900, 600 in bonds, and will not pass
laws sufficient to defray current home
expenses, does not intend to pay bonds
or interest, and money can not be had
upon them, except from parties who
would take them at about forty cents,
then sell our bonds and lend part of the
proceeds, keeping wide margin in their
own hands; then when we got ready to pay
back the money borrowed we should prob
ably have trouble in finding the bonds.
He presents an estimate Of the liabili-
ty of the State for 1870 and 1871, as
follows:

He strongly urges the so cents tax,
and thinks that under it the State could
derive revenue of Sl,6OO,OOO. Upon
the whole, the failure to borrow $4,000
except at a ruinous rate, and Mr.. Nor
rows statement Of liabilities, will hardly
operate for us as attractions to immi-
grants.
