The Republicans have been grievously dis
appointed In scheme they had planned to
capture the Seventh Missouri District, made
vacant by the death Of Congressman Lay,
some weeks ago. At the election OF 1876 the
Democrats elected their candidate In this dis
trict, but only by q plurality, the combined
Republican and Greenback vote being In q
majority. The Republican plan for captur-
ing this district was to put up Greenbacker
with strong Republican proclivities; one who
would act with the Greenbackers on all finan-
cial but with the Republicans on political
questions. The Republican convention. how
ever, would not agree To the policy laid down
for It by the leaders OF the party, refused to
nominate the Greenbacser selected for them
and placed full-blooded Republican In the
saeld. The Greanbackers, thereupon, with
drew from the combination, and nominated
n candidate OF their own. The election OF
the Democratic candidate therefore L. certain.

"A WARLIKE CLERGY.

In this whole Maine trouble there has been
nothing more repulsive and shameful than
the manner Ia which the preachers have
rushed into the fray--forgstful OF their true
mission and bent on bloodshed. They have

except as Ii has served as convenient anvil
for them to pound upon when wrought into
fine frenzy by their passionate and warlike
political utterances.i
Their voices have been MI for war, and, to
Judge from their political har lngues, they
are quite prepared to take the field, not alone
In the capacity OF chaplains, but a. high
privates In the front ranks. One enthusiastic

sary he would go to battle himself, with a
musket on his shoulder and revolver In
each pocket. The Rev. Mr.. Field. the leading
orthodox Congregational preacher In Bangor,
denounced a member Of the executive council
Of his church for siding with the Governor,
and before the whole congregation pointed
him out for public seorn. The fact that the
offending member had been warm personal
friend OF the Clergyman, and had often ex-
tended to hin, the hospitalties of his house,
rather tended to make this disciple
of the Prince OF Peace all the more
savage In his assault. A pious gentleman OF
