THE
RACE.

In selecting Col. Colman as u
choice for Governor of Missouri. we
are not actuated by motives of per-
sonal friendship, but solely by a de-
sire to promote the welfare of the
people and the varied business and
agricultural interests of our great
State. How important it is to the
people, just at this time, when they
are overburdemed with taxation, that
they should have an honest and eco
nomical administration of State af.
fairs. No man will be more certain
to give them such an administration,
than Col. Colman. He has made no
pledges and formed no political COM
binations to III his nomination.
LIE stands forth free and untrammeled
As the candidate of the pnnn.e, and
should he be elected, he will be the
peoples Goce,1.or, and not the Cor
n Of ctiques and rings ofpolitt-
clans.
While rs a Democrat, we shall
cheerfully support the nominee of
the State convention, there are OBJ
)ections that might be urged against
all the other candidates. IT IL out of
u province just at this time 10 dis
cuss the comparative merits of each.
Let the people carefully consider
their claims and decide according to
their best judgment.
We have given no little thought to
the matter, and taking all things into
consideration, we candidly believe
That the highest interests Of the people
VIII be subserved by supporting Col.

CONGRESSIONAL RACE,

From every part of the district
comes the most cheering news in re-
gard to the prospects of Gen. John
Il. Clark for the nomination. How
ard and Randolph county will go
solidly for him. a large majority of
the people Of Boone are pledged to
him. Ray will give him a large if
not the entire vote of the county.
With the support of Lafayette, which
he ought to have and will certainly
get, his nomination is fixed fact.
1t is contendcd by some that Gen.
Clark is too old to 90 to Congress,
and that he should be laid on the
shelf. In answer to this objection,
we would state that any man who is
able to canvass the district, and make
speeches almost daily for two or three
weeks in succession, meeting his ap-
pointments punctually in all the seven
counties, has vigor enough left to
serve i'll Congress. Even admitting
the fact that his physical strength is
somewhat impaired, with the advan-
tage of his eight or ten years. expert
ence in Congress, he can serve the
district far better for two Years than
q green member who has everything
to learn, and who rarely accomplishes
anything or has any influence during
his first term. Gen. Clark has been
tTled and tound true to the people in
the past. We W him a deot Of
gratitude for his faithful services in
other years. 1t Is infinitely better to
take him than a new. untried man
who has done nothing upon which he
can base a claim to the support aud
confidence Of the people.

HON. WIN. T. WOOD, FOR
r JUDGE.

While other sections OF ihr State
are scdulously engaged in putting
forward the claims of their represen-
tative men to the various state offices
to be filled at the November election.
our own county has, as vet, shown
little disposition to even ask for a
single II of these positions. Prcvi-
u to the war, Lafayette county
ranked third i'll the State, and is still
among the first in wealth an! in the
number and intelligence of its popu-
latien. We have many men in our
midst entirely competent to fill the
most exalted stations in the govern
ment, state or national. and we owe
it lot less to ourselves than to them.
TO claim n share of official honOrs,
Our last weeks issue contained a call
rom the members of the bar of this
county upon the Hon. VIM. T. Wood.
10 become q candidate for one of the
vacant Supreme j~udgcships, and we
were much pleased to see by his reply
in Saturdays Caucasian. that he con-
sents to have his name used in that
connection. 1t is only to be regretted
that this step had not been taken
earlier, as the time before the assem-
bling of the convention is rather short
for a thorough anvass of the State ::
but the zeal of host of friends in
every section will, doubtless, supply
any deficiency in the matter of time.
Having filled various positions of
trust, in the Legislature, upon the
circuit bench and elsewhere, Judge
Wood does not come before the peo-
pie as a new or an untried man. His
election as Judge of the 9th Judicial
circuit in 1868, and the high-handed
manner in which he was deprived of
the office by that model Radical
statesman, Count Rodman, are still
fresh in the public mind. But Judge
Wood is too well known throughout
the State to render it necessary for us
to argue his fitness for the office of
Supreme Judge. He is known to the
bar and to the people at large, as a
lawyer of the very first attachments.
with n ripened experience Of forty
years in the practice ofhis profession.
No man in the State, or out of it, IL
joys a more enviable reputation for
heightened honor and answering
integrity, and if elected he will carry
to the bench a name unsullied by a
single reproach as we'll as all the
qualifications calculated to adorn and
elevate the position. The State
would honor herself in selecting such
a man to assist in administering her
laws. We hope the papers of this
as,d adjoining counties will take this
matter up, and sec that it is brought
properly to the attention of the peo-
pie. Lafayette county has a right to
demand something ofthe convention.
and we trust her delegates will be
instructed to press the claims of our
honored fellow citizen for Supreme
Judge.

SUICIDE N MURDER.

The community of Topeka. Kansas,
has been much agitated over a sad
occurrence there on the 9th ult. A
woman by the name ofMrs. Mating
ley, committed the double crime of
suicide and murder; the first bv
throwing herself into the river and
the second by tying her son Of three
years to her body, and thereby carry
ing him to an untimely death. Vari-
Gus rumors were ahoat on SUNDAY
ana many anxious inquiries were
made by many persons. Late in the
evening the excitement was auieted,
to some extent by the announcement
u q n woman and child had been
found floating in the river a few miles
below the city. The boy was tied
with his back to her breast with a
white handkerchief.
From the testimony before the
ceroner's jury, il appears that she
was q woman of no very good repute:
had been living at Topeka with a
man named Thomas Mattingley. who
had deserted her, but to whom She had
not been married. Her fathers name
was Fisher. Of Niles, Michigan, and
she had left her home more than ones
with men unmarried.

ment, they will expect their Presi-
tdent to be always true to bimseIt
Therefore / put aside the nartiss~
allegations that Horace Greeley has
gone to the Democrats, or he win be
controlled by the Democrats. Each
is without foundation in reason, and
according to my Judgment. they are
attempted to avert what yon recog-
nixe as the true issue, being the ques-
ton between two candidates /; or per-
haPs they may be considered as scare
lcrows to deter the timid. Nobody
who votes for Horace Greeley will go
to the Democrats; nor do | believe that
when elected, Horace Greeley will be
under any influence except that EN-
lightcned conscience which will keep
him ever true 10 the principles he
represents.
Gentlemen, in thus answering your
inquiries, | have shown why you, as
colored fellow-citiZens, and also all
who uphold your rights and would
save the culored race from indignity,
should refuse TO sanction the re-elec-
tor of the President, aud put their

add that with him will be associated

whom have known for years. as the
most Determined abolitionist. Tho
two together will carry into the
National Government an unswerving
devotion 10 your rights, not to be
disturbed by partisan Cictation or
sectional prejudice. 1t is forvou TO
consider whether the time has not
come for something better than the
sword, and whether a character like
Horace Greeley does not give from
ger assurance of good government
than can be found in the insultcr Of
the colored race, already famous from
the rings about him, and his plain
inaptitude for the civil life. Grant
compels us to observe his offences
and shortcomings and the comparison

Gentlemen, President Grant deserves

enough to exhibit his seizure of the

CEN. JOHN b. CLARK.
4 Base Attempt to Defeat his NOm:-
nation,

A communication nearly a column
in length, and signed by "Vindcx,'
appears in the Missouri Republican
of the 9TH inst. in which tho author
attempts by misrepresentation and
false reasoning. 10 prove that Gen
Clark is no, eligible to Congress
We can inform the people, if the fac,
is not patent TO them, that the article
in question was either written by
Stone Of Gen. Clark's competitors. OF
Ut their insti"ation and in their inter,
est: and furthermore. that it waS paid
for 6y the Iiac. We know what VIC
state above to he Il tact. because Col.
Switzlcr urged this objection pri-
vatcly WHEN in Lexington. but find
ing il had bat little effect. either he.
or some other Interested party. has
awaited himself OF the columns of the
Republican in order more ciicciually
to damage Gen. Cinrk's prospects.
We have neither time nor space to
discus, 1T length the legal points in

stale il from Ii Own persona!
knowledge, that i.cn.Clark has in hi<
possession Il full pardon signed by
President Johnson. removing his dis
abilities aud investing him with al,
the rights OF an American citizen.
The amendment to the Constitution.
qaotcd by ''Vindcx." was evidently
not intended to annul the pardOning
power Of the President in spccia!
cases, else President johnson would
not have exercised this power in the
case of Gen. Clark.
The acts of Congress upon wllicl,
"Nindcx' builds up his entire argu-
ment were passed 1T the last session
of Congress. and cannot reach back
to the case. 1t is an indi>putablc
fact that the %pardoniug power is be-
You'd the power of law. No act of
Congress can reach it. Even if il were
so, the acts Of Congress alluded 10
are er post tacto, and cannot apply.
The pardoming power is one of the
great conservative forces of the Con-
stitution, and when applied washes
out the blacklist guilt from the
greatest criminal. lie stands forth
as q "new man," and no power on
earth can make him Il criminal.
When a Governor pardons a convict.
and he goes forth from prison, he is
a restored man, and noSpower nor
any law can commit him to the dun
geOn again for the same o~ffense.
Gen. Clark, in the eyes of the govern
ment, stood OIL the same. footing. He
was involved in the rebellion, but bv
4 special act of executive clemcncv.
his disabilities were removed, and no
government would disgrace itself by
regulating one of its highest and
most sacred DEGREES. Should it be
done i'll this instance, it will be the
first time in the history of this coun-
try, when the highest act of an ex-
"cutivc, either state or national, was
'iespiscd and trampled upon.
Gen. Clark is certain to take his
seat, if elected, even in a Radical Con-
@ress, much less in u Democratic one.
as the next is certain to be. All this
talk then about ineligibility is ''mcrc
bosh,' and only the capital of rival
candidates who are afraid of being
defeated i'll the nominating convcn-
ton.
