Drury Election.

We were misinformed in regard TO there
being union ticket in Drury township
The Anti Monopoly folks proposed to have
one and act together for the good of the
town, but the Republicans refused and
nominated a party ticket. The Anti Mo-
nopoly people then got up, in hurried
way, a ticket in opposition-not even get
ting printed tickets, but writing them of
on slips of paper, and having very little
concert of action. The Republican party
ticket was printed, and they made siren
uous and organized effort to elect it. And
yet, of the five principal candidates about
which there was any contest, the Republi
cans elected only two. The Auti- Monopo-
lists elected three out of fve-a substau-
tial defeat of the Republican party ticket,
and an evidence that the good people Of
Drury have had about enough of party
nonsense. A few ambitious men who
hold office or want office are interested in
keeping up old party lines-but the people

CREDIT FOR GRANT.

We feel like giving President Grant
credit for behaving with great dignity and
propriety, 50 far. in the Arkansas bust
ness. He has refused his countenance to
either of the factions now quarreling for
the Goyernorship, and has contented him
self with instructing the Federal officers
at Little Rock to prevent an armed COLI
sion, without favor to Brooks or to Baxter.
Mr.. Brooks is reminded that his claim is
still before the courts, the decree of Judge
Whytock not being final, and Mr.. Baxter
is referred TO the courts for his remedy If
he feels himself aggrieyed. What in the
world has come over tie dreams of the Ad-
ministration to cause such an exhibition OF
good sense we are at loss to discern. Ii
is not long since the regulation of State
elections, the composition of State tickets,
the management of ward caucuses, nay, on
great emergency even the upsetting OF
State governments and the installation OF
usurping legislatures, were thought to be
legitimate duties of the Presidents Office.
The chief aim Of popular government. ac-
cording to theories which recently pre-
vailed at Washington, was to preserve the
party organization, and the chosen instru-
ment in this great work was of course the
President of the United States For this
the patronage was intrusted TO his hands
For this he had consulships, and post-ot
fees. and foreign missions, and collector
ships to give away. For this he had q
compact little army in the troublesome
States, and an Attorney General to set tn,
troops in motion when the disorders o.
party politics demanded heroic remedies
When the supremacy of the party was en-
dangered in Louisiana, Gen Grant did no
talk to the rival claimants about the State
courts. He made his choice at once put
ting out McEnery. the man the people
elected, and putting in Kellogg. the ma,
