RED RIVER TRADE-GREENLAW'S
ROAD.


Cincinnati and st. Louis are making
herculean efforts to secure the Red river
trade, which Memphis should have mo-
nopolized years ago. The Little Rock
railroad should have been completed
Immediately after the war, and its
branch to Shreveport. The Cincinnati
Commercial has the following: "The
st. Louis Democrat is trying to write
st. Louis up into a cotton market.
Everything else has been done 10 bring
about this desired result, without sue
cess, and we are willing 10 risk our rep
utatiOn for prOphetical vision hat this
last effort will also prove a failure.p
In replying to this, the st. Louis Dem
ocrGt says: 1--WE admire the pluck of
Cincinnati in her determination to waste
a million dollars or so bucking against
st. Louis for the Red river trade. But
her discretion is less praiseworthy.U
Meanwhile, Memphis sits sweltering on
the Chickasaw Bluff, and, with her
finger in her mouth, looks ~yearningly
across Arkansas, and has not the energy
to rise up beneath ephemeral burdens,
imposed by knavery and iRcompetency,
and defeat both st. Louis and Cincin-
nati by extending Mr.. Greenlaw's road
to Shreveport. Why not do now what
must inevitably be done, sooner or later?
Why this insane stupor, this ruinous
inaction2 Time is money, and we lose
millions by delay.

THE New York Day Book the wisest
and most philosophical of all extreme
Democratic papers that have refused tc
obey the dicta of the Baltimore Conven-
ton, at length hoists the name Of Gree
ley and Brown. This is an end of any
intelligent opposition to the candidates

will now begin to understand how a
Democrat remains a Democrat and yet
supports Mr.. Greeley, and how it is that
the Democratic Convention, in approx

General Cheatham may not meet the
stump-speaking ex-President before
throngs that will gather at the hastings;
but at the ballot-box the people will

ROBERT G. WINTHROP is the Presi-
dent of the Peabody School Fund Trus-
tees, and yet, it is said, he supports
Grant. II Mr.. Winthrop's nam were
not a guarantee Of personal integrity,
the safety Of the fund he holds might
wei be inquired into. Not one single
established fund in the South has es-
capped the clutches of Grants thieves,
and enormous taxation, imposed by
carpetbag governments in behalf of
schools, has resulted mainly in the rob
berry Of the rich and poor, and ~protracted
the ignorance of the multitude. 1t is
hardly possible that an honest educator
of Southern masses would assent even
to political association with Grants adj

THE COLORED VOTERS OF AR
KANSAS.


The breach between Clayton and Me-
Donald is ir~reparable. 1t was made
when Clayton sold a State, its offices,
its masters and treasury, that he might
occupy a seat in the Federal Senate, for
ver hereafter deemed desecrated and
polluted by miniOns of crime and bride
ny and violence and despotism. OF the
two men, the world will " esteem
Mcdonald the more, and if an angry
Providence would further curse and pun
ish Arkansas by ~prOtraeting Minstrel
power through another two years, it is n
~ unfortunate that Mcdonald could not
bechOsen as Hadley'ssuccessOr Clayton,
We presume, interviewed, and though
the nominee may not be Clayton's pre-
ferered successor he wa preferred to
Hadley or Mcdonald. Pitiable is the
condition of a great State when its fame
and character and political fortunes are
p~laythings of knaves and remorseless
scOundrels. The fact that such men as
these are elevated TO Office by the negro
vote has disgraced African character
and degraded African intelligence, and
that these may be redeemed, the colored
race should forswear its blind, unthink-
in~gallegiance to masters of loyal leagues,
to selfish adventures, and become po-
litical allies of those who adhere, in the
pending Presidential campaign, to the
truest friend Africa in America has ever
known.

nitely lower, dirtier sphere Of morals
and intelligence, invests a prize fight,
This contest win inject a vast deal o
~earnestness into the pending Presiden-
tial conflict, and give zest to the intol-
cradle dizziness of an otherwise One-sided
struggle in Tennessee. BY the way, the
ex-President, as shown by a letter in
another place, does not want friends
capable of defending him when assailed.

CHARLES O'CONOR AND THE CON
TEST IN THIS DISTRICT.

CHARLES 0fC0NOA AND THE CON
TEST IN THIS DISTRICT.
Our correspondent writing from Chi
cago, whose initials will cause his recog-
milton by the las Of our readers, must
surely exaggerate apprehensions Of dan
ger allegedto be entertained by Northern
people. 1t is hardly true that Grant is
preferred to Greeley because Northern
people imagine another interstate war
imminent Oh I've possible. We have
been led to believe that the North con-
ours with the New York Herdldin assert
ing the confessed necessity for reform,
and that there is a growing conviction
that the reelection of the President is
no longer essential, as i'll the S of
Lincoln, to the public safety or general
welfare. Whether this popular desire
and this conviction have become strong
enough in Maine to i~naugurate there in
the coming election a political revo-
luton is the point to be determined.
Meantime the "straight-outr Demo-
Gratis, under Colonel Blanton Dun
cans management will have at
Louisville their second national conven-
ton, which will be important because it
will show that there is not against the
liberal coalition ticket of Greeley and
Brown any serious detection among the
rank and file of the Democratic party.
We entertain the opinion that this
Louisville Convention will prove, be-
yond this, an utter failure-thatit comes
too late as q third party movement, and
that even should it put a ticket into the
field, with so respectable a name as
Charles O'Conor at its head, its success
will be so utterly hopeless and its mis-
sion so se~lf-evident, that in the end its
best friends will see the folly of throwing
away their votes on it, and will divide
between Grant and Greeley, according
TO their several inelinations. Charles
.'ConOr is hardly stupid enough to ac-
such a position. Itmay do for ordi-
nary candidates for Congress to have
themselves crushed between the upper
and neither millstones, Democracy and
R~adicalism, as proposed to be illustrated
in this Congressional district ; but Mr..
has Won and prizes too highly
and properly his own fame to have it
.hus sacrificed.

WE are satisfied that if the Greeley
candidate for Governor do not carry
Maine on the third proximO, he will
reduce the standing Radical majority
many thousands. ButMr. Greeley him
self is stronger in Maine than any citizen
~orlocal Greeley candidate, and Greeley's
majority will be greater than that of the
Republican party ever was in Maine.

"The little controversy which has
been going on for some time past be-
tween the Cistef azld our contempora-

ably bit outside the pale OF proper

completely into the shade by the vol

LITIGATION that it's antagonist commence

tlnnance cannot result in credit to

"Life Insurance now constitutes
one OF the most important, concerns

our best citizens, a policy constitutes
almost the only security against pow
