A Sad C0nfesoion.

The st. Louis Democrat las thoroughly
awakened from it's wild dream Of third
party that gave Missouri to the Democracy.
1t thus enters its confession:
The incidentals Of "liberalism" have not
been so exhilerating that any honest and
intelligent Republican can be cheated by
demagogues with the name when the
meaning has gone outof it. What are those
incidentals! Democratic victOries-a DEM
ocratic triumph with but . minority vote in
this county. A Democratic representation
Of St. Louis county in the Legislature, sent
there by q minority Of the voters of the
county. a Democratic Housc-and such a
House! A Blair representing ~ Missouri
in the United States Senate, as champion of
the Indiana resolutions and Of the ku- Klux
Khan. These, and things like these, have
been the incidentals for liberalism. in itself
just. The work of that liberalism is ac-
complished. Isn't 1t about timer -,
''rbo hallucinatiOn of SO tried Repub-
lican journal IA the St. Louis Democrat was
a sad spectacle to all earnest Republicans,
and to none more 80 than tO those Of Mary
land. We were betrayed and OverthrOwn
by the treason. Of one man in whom we
trusted The Missouri Republicans lcd the
way to their own overthrow at the bidding
of Carl Schurz, who is now laboring to dis
member and defeat the Republican party of
the nation. Those who follow him now
may one day have to make as MOI tifying q
confession US that put forth by the st. Louis
Democrat" SOsays the Baltimore America,,.

During the delivery of Mr.. Summers
speech there was frequent and general ap.
plauders were taken to be Republican,,
and Mr.. Sumner probably so regarded the
demonstration. On Thursday the same
class applauded the Ku-Klux utterances 81

indeed, was the applause that the Vice
President threatened to clear the galleries.
These scenes carry us back to fhe tims

The Committee on Elections, in view of
the fact that the last House voted $l14,000
to contestants for seats, has adopted the fol-
lowing rule: The committee will not recon-
mend payment Of any compensation beyond
the actual, reasonable and necessary ex-
penses to any contestant who fails to main
tain his right to seat, and will recommend
payment Of such expenses only in cases
where the contest is made in good faith and
with reasonable cause. Each contestant
failing to sustain his claim to the seat, and
claiming compensation, shall present to the
committee. an itemizetl statement, under
oath, of his expenditures in connection with
such contest, which shall be examined by
the committee. or by subcommittee for
that purpose, and 80 much only shall be
allowed as comes within the provisions Of

Of different CLASSES of legislative warranta
recently issued, which was to have been 10

in consequence Of indisp0sitiOn on the part

to get possession Of the $l25, 600 appropria
ton which has not yet been expended
This appropriation, which Is included in the
general appropriation bill recently signed
by the Governor, reads, if We remember
rightly, for contingent expenses"
The warrants held by Merle ct ais, the
parties bringing the first suit for some
45O, 900, were issued for contingent expenses
while the warrants held by Whitney ct al
were issued, it is alleged, for per diem and
mileage.
Now the question eeems to be, whether
the act means that the 9l25, 600 shall bs
used solely for warrants issued for contin
gent expenses, or whether it was intended
that it should be used to include also war
rants issued for per diem and mileage ex
penses. Eminent. counsel arc engaged BY
the several relators.
In the above suits the rule for an injunc
tion upon the Treasurer, taken by cOunee
for Whitney, has been withdraw, while
the application for the writ of mandamul
upon the Auditor remains.

The directors estimate that they will be
able to produce daily, at the very least esti-
mate, two hundred tons Of sulr hur, and
this they calculate will, at the lowest figure,
million dollars annually.
The shaft, which is to be constructed
upon the plan of the Chaudron patent, will
only have to be sunk distance of four hum
dred and twenty-eight feet, which is only
about One-fOurth the depth of some of the
coal shafts in Great Britain, by means of
which are daily extrscted in many in
stances an average Of sixteen hundred tons
of coal.
The following are the names of the gen.
