Missouri Legislature.

ST, LOUIS, January7.-The Legislature
organized to-day by electing B, F, Boone
Speaker Of the House, and by tbe election
Of ]. o. Morrison as President pro ten Of
the Senate,
Governor Woodson's message is u
lengthy document, almost exclusively on
State questions. Touching Louisiana af-
fairs, the Governor takes strong ground
against the Kellogg government and fed
eral interference, and urges the Legisla-
ture to adopt resolutions expressive Of the
feelings Of indignation felt BY Missouri At
the policy pursued by the President and
the Republican party. Referring to the
late State elections, and the evident
purpose Of the people to change
their rulers, he warns the Democrats
that their hopes in carrying the next elec-
tion and putting the Democratic party In
power will, in his judgment, depend upou
whether they, through their Democratic
Legislatures, practice the greatest econo-
my, strictest fidelity and unselfsh devo-
ton to these interests in their respective
States, and show by their acts that they
honestly desire u Democratic victory for
the good Of the country and not TO pro-
mote selfish ends. II they demonstrate
this, he believes the Democrats will
triumph at the election Of 1875 and gain
full possession and control Of every dc
partment Of the government.

Of course very ignorant, they all under
stand that under the auspices Of
the Republican party they acquired
their freedom, and very many Of them
fear they would lose II under restora-
ton to power Of the Democracy. This Is
why they vote SO unanimously with the
carpct-baggers. They show, in doing so,
the same instincts that are displayed by
their old masters, who all vote against
tbs Republican party because Of what 1t
has done for the negro. Thus the two
sides, like two parallel lines, can never
meet, And this Is the great underlying
trouble all through the South to-day. 1t
explains all the other troubles, As we
remarked yesterday, there Is but one re-
liable solution for II, and that Is to abOl-
ish the "color line" as soon US possible.
There il no doubt Of the fact that the
great majority Of tho native whites Of
Louisiana (the property owners and tax
payers) are Democrats. For the sake Of
the best interests Of the two races we
should like to zee enough Of the Negroes

pnted power in the State. Then We
should avoid the scandal Of bayonet rule,
a scandal that is forced upon the
Republican party by the cxigoucies Of tho
situation.
