when Clayton went to the Senate, is an easy
friend of tho Senator'S; and. it Is said, he is
willing TO facilitate tho entry of Baxter, the
probably defeated Republican candidate, into
the Office Of Governor. Latest reports say
that this move is contemplated, and that the
Clayton Ring will then hold possession Of the
State House and organize Legislature OF
their own, as their fellows have done in Ala
bama Possibly this is the view of an alarm
list certainly it is report from one side
only. AS long as We know that the result OF
tho State election in Arkansas may DO consid-
cred unsettled, it is but fair to wait until we
hear from the Baxter following before decid-
ing whore the right lies
Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas, just now,
are suffering from relapse into the old DIS
order of feverish politics The complaint ID
political, and all the symptoms are feDrile.
These States have been meddled with so much,
they have been so long worried by outside
interference and inside strife, that it is diff
cult to return to the order and regularity OF
self government. Not once since the war OF
the Rebellion. has either of these States been
quieted into its normal political condition.
There is no possible excuse for the present
lgitatiOns, but they are not 30 discouraglng
when we recollect that they are the perturba-
lions which accompany a slow return to health
and quiet. The Southern body polite has been
very sick its recovery has been shamefully re-
tarded but, notwithstanding the relapse, con-
yalescence has actually begun.

NRw-yoRK nAy TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 1872

|, letters and lectures have exposed the horrors
or this East African slave trade, and the En-.
elisM press moro than hint that the present
expedition is only an incapable, SNOWY
effort by the Tite Barnacles Of the
Government to choke Off public indignation
at the apathy of England while these enormi-
ties are openly carried on under her eyes
Sir Bartle Freres mission is so uncertain as to
its effect, unless backed by a squadron power
full enough to bring both tho Sultan of Zanzi-
bar and the navy of dhows to order that En-
glsh philanthropy in sending him appears
rather doubtful in the face of the fact that q
slave trade has been carried on for years by
Englishmen in English vessels on the coasts
of Australia with the full knowledge OF the
British Government. The atrocities OF tho
Zanzibar traffic pale into inSgnifcance before
the horrors Of this trade. A recent case
brought to light in Melbourne has made 1t
impossible for either the English Government
or press longer to feign blindness to the mat
ter. A certain DR.. Murray owner of brig
Carl, went out in 1871 TO hdnap natives in
the southern seas. The Melbourne Argus states
that the method of doing this was to invite
the natives from the islands to come out in
their boats to trade in provisions, and when
they were alongside Of the ship heavy
pieces Of iron were flung on the canoes
until they were upset; when as many
of the struggling wretches that did not drown
were taken from the water and thrown into
the hold, and the matches battened down. On
one voyage, however, some eighty savages, on
being consigned to this living hell, gave vent
to their despairing rage IN wild cries and at
tempts to fire the vessel, when Murray and his
crew deliberately fred among them all night
long. In tho morning they went down,
brought up the dead first, and then the
wounded, who were tied hand and foot and
thrown into the water Murray, falling sick IN
sydney, became terrified at the approach OF
DEATH and confessed the crime. That it was
common one is proved by the fact that he
found an open demand and ready sale for the
slaves in Melbourne at E10 apiece. He was
acting as Queens evidence against his crew in
the trial, which was in progress at last
advices.
But no attempt is made or even suggested
by the English Government to suppress the
trade, which more than equals in extent that
Of Zanzibar. We cannot but remember the
