ST. LOUIS,
ST. LOUIS, April g. 6.-Returns from the
city election come in slowly, and the
result cannot be given tonight. Official
reported returns from fifteen precincts
give Barrett, Democrat, for mayor, 5791;
Mcguire, Republican, 1873; Overstatz,
Independent, 5447. The race between
Barrett and Overstatz is expected to be
a tie. The probabilities are that Barrett
will be elected. There is no doubt of
the. election of the remainder of the
Democratic ticket, but nothing can be
said regarding the council at this writ
ing. Overstatz is simply running as an
Independent candidate for mayor with
no ticket behind him.

principally on the liquor question, in
which the anti-temperance ticket was
generally successful.
Later returns from the election in this

and will have six majority in the coun-
Gil.

1t is reported on high authority that
there was a conflict, February 18th, in
FormOsa, between the southern aborigi-
nes and the Chinese troops, the latter
being defeated with a loss OF several
hundred. The scene Of the encounter
was Hong Kong village, six miles north
OF the old japanese position. 1t is a re-
markable fact that before the departure
Of the Japanese, they had completely
won the confidence of the AbOrigines,
who expressed great regret at their with
drawal; but their ancient hatred against
the Chinese now appears stronger than
ever,

The Ohio Election.

The Ohio election, no matter how il
had gone, would have had no bearing
whatever upon our Mississippi election.
/ 1t had no reference to the Southern
question which both parties In the North
consider settled. This question did not
enter into the canvass. The issues were
such as the people of Mississippi are not
in a condition TO NEEDLE with. The Re-
publicans contended and made the people
(among them great many old Democrats)
believe that they were for hard money, or
currency redeemabIe in gold and silver;
and that the Democratic candidates were
for imitation and soft money, not redeem
able in coin. Tens Of thousands of
Democrats who were raised in the
school of jackson, Benton and Polk,
lost their mornings on this issue,
whether truly or falsely made we will
not undertake to decide, and either staid
away from the polls, or drifted under the
flag which carried the inscription of Hard
Money
Besides, the Radicals raised a halla-
baloo about what they falsely pretended
was a scheme of the Catholics to divide
and control the school fund, and thus they
excited sectarian prejudice and enlisted
it in their behalf.
Both parties pronounced for non-inter-
ference and sacred maintenance of the
doctrine of self-government by the ma
tionsl authority, to the South.
Coupled with all this, is the fact that
Gov. Allen was elected two years ago by
a minority vote. In 1873 he received
214, 654, against 213, 1877 for Noyes, Re-
publican-10, PIT voting for the Temper
ance candidate, and 10, 129 for Collins,
the so-called peoples candidate. In the
same election, the Republican candidate
for the other State offices, with the ex-
ception of the Acknowledgement, were
chosen.
Ohio, for the past twelve years, until
1875, with single exception, has been
giving average Republican majorities of
from twenty-five to seventy-fve thousand.
In the late election the Dutch took Hol-
land, that was all. The result don't
amount to puff of wind so far as our
election is concerned. The |
Radical ofice-holders may burn as much |
powder as they please over Ohio, but the
Democrats and Conservatives of Missis-
sippi have got them on the hip, and in
Tend to hold them there. Boys! do you
near that?

The Radical School Board in New
Orleans might learn useful lesson from
the action of the School Board at
Dubuque, Iowa, which voted down a
petition for the admission of colored
children to the ward schools, on the
ground that they are already provided
with as good schools as there is in the
city, good teacher and everything they
need, and it was thought to be for the
best interests of the colored children
themselves not to mix them with the
white children The report was made
by Republican, was adopted on motion
of Republican, a majority of the
Republicans in the board voting in its ia
vor.
The Radical leaders have not progress
ed so far as demand mixed schools in
this State But they have elected negro
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and their recent reputation of Mckee in
this District for Hill, (negro) on the
color line, is significant of further de-
mands should they succeed in the pending
election.

The Radical leaders have regarde d the

The Radical printing organs are on a
cold trail. They are croaking over the
alleged occasional defalcations of Demo
cratic and Wing officials uEder the old
Regime of citizens rule in Mississippi-all
of them moulding with age, and some OF
them occurring nearly fifty years age.
We wonder if they expect by that argu-
ment to keep the darkies out of the Dem
ocratic clubs; or to Pursuade the white
citizens that it is wiser for them to en-
dure the present Wholesale plumber
by the Radical party of two millions af
dollars a year, than to risk an occasional
defalcation of a few thousand by an ex-
faithless agent under their own
rule of intelligence and economy. The
Radicals have stolen in a years rule in
the single county of Warren, or YazoOI
or Kinds, or Copiah, more than all the
defalcations put together under citizens
rule, from the first organization of the
State government down to the time the
carpet-baggers were put in authority BY
the baYonet.
