HON. M. v. L. McOLELLAND.

The gentleman whose name heads this
article is at home, after a pretty thor
ough canvass OF the 7th congressional
district. His name will be presented by
his friends for the democratic nomina-
ton. 10 the convention which will meet
at Jefferson City, Wednesday, August
Is. Col. McClelland's name is no new
one to Missourians. For more than
twenty years a member of one of the
largest commercial houses in St. Louis.
he is familiar with the great interests of
the merchants and other business men
of the country. For fifteen years an ex-
tensive farmer In Lafayette county, he
stands as a representative Of the no less
important agricultural interests of the
Missouri valley. Col. McClelland is a
ripe scholar, an eloquent and fascinating
speaker, and an accomplished gentle
man. In presenting his name to the
convention Lafayette county asks the
district to make no sacrifice. She offers
a man OF extensive business and legis-
lative experience; a man who. when a
member of the Missouri legislature. had
the courage and the skill to place upon
the statute books the laws which govern
the railroads of the state, and which
brought to Missouri gentle peace out Of
bitter war-order out of chaos. He Is a
of brains and a man of culture.
Thoroughly versed in political economy,
energetic. suave and polite, above the
of the d~emagogue, yet social and
genial in his disposition. a good mixer.
eloquent Tor the right, he would make a
member of congress who would not run
IN the old ruts, but would boldly, fear
Iessly and effectively strike for the in
OF his constituents. 1t has been
4 long time since Lafayette county has
been honored with political c%onsidera-
ion. 1t is not that she asks for loaves
and fishes to make her democratic. Her
is above mercenary demands.
She will continue to roll up her large
majorities whether recog-
1lzed or not. But when 1t offers a gen.
,leman in every way qualified for the
position a gentleman who would re-
lect credit upon it by voice and pen a
merchant, a farmer and an orator. u
lard worker and q true democrat, her
modestly presented. should be
and fairly weighed.

"going out of politics for the summer"
When fall comes they will have SO lost
the bearings of the canvass that they
will be like Mr.. Smythe, and join him
in saying 'those who nominated MIR.

would seem that such a small number

Col. George Williamson, OF Shreve'
port, Louisiana, in declining the repub.
lican nomination for congress says:-"l
have made up my mind to decline the
republican nomination for congress, to
support Hancock and to sever-forever,
l hope-my connection with the repub-
lican party. My rea sons for SO doing
may be made public when l return
home. The principal one is that [ be-
lieve Hancock, better than any other
man except Grant. car bring about
real reconstruction. He represents the
magnanimity and honor of the military
and civil elements of the north that
wish bygones to be bygones, and that
really long for peace and good will be-
tween the sections. Garfield, on the
contrary, represents the political ele-
ments of the north that live upon the
past and glory n northern sectional
ism, while it denounces yet fosters and
lives upon southern sectionalism."
The n thing that seems to be worse
to the radicals than a bad case OF cramp
collie, is the utter failure of their sple-
netic attempt to array the union and
rebel democracy against each other.
The democracy 10 not sectional; it is
not bigoted; it is not narrow in its
views; it asks no man "Where were you
born? What is your religion? Which
side were you on in the WARP" No.
To all American citizens, regardless OF
the past, it says, 'Here is what we mean
to do in the future; here is our candl-
date. We ask all men who love purity.
all men who revere American liberty to
join us in hurting from power the party
which made fraud first triumphant in
American politics." There is nothing
little, mean or contemplate about the
democratic party. 1t is large in its
views, generous in its impulses, ard the
only national party in the United States.
A Buffalo republican organ intemper-
ately flies into this rather u~nwarranted
regarding Gen. Garfield and
the salary grab:-''There was no 'cov-
ering back in the treasury in his case.
He did not first draw it and wait until
he saw how intense public Indignation
was before he returned the money. He
never took a cent of it, for he believed
that to take it was in violation of his
duty as a representative of the people,"
The facts are these Gen. Garfield did
draw his back pay, something over $4,-
900. A republican convention IN Trum-
bull county, Ohio, his district, incensed
at the whole business, denounced it,and
his resignation. Seeing,
written, a notice of custer unless
he complied, the general. as gracefully
as he could, after keeping 1t about a

1t is now asserted by . gentleman who

It is now asserted by gentleman who
clai,us to be u friend Of the Dc Rance
family that Edwin G. Mix was victim
Of mistaken identity. aud that tho Dc
Rance brothers killed tho wrong man.
They say that the man who had really
been flirting with Miss Rance used the
name Of Mr.. Mix to escape detection.
This they attempt to show by the fact
that first the Irritation was discovered,
and this was followed by tho three bro
theirs calling ut the residence Of Mr.. Mix,
and then ut the firm of John l. Adams
& Co., where Mix was employed.
Failing to find Mix they returned
home, and in the mean time, Mix, hear
ing of their visits, informed his brother
that his name had been connected with
an affair wherein young lady was cot
celned. He said that lo was innocent,
and expressing u desire to call at tho
house to explain tho matter to the Do
RANGES, his brother concluded to accom-
pany him.
Tho mission was to all appearances II
peaceful one, as they brought 10 wca-
pons with them. Their story is that
after the conversation on the steps
(Which remains ny much Of u mystery as
bcforc), Miss Rance, seeing her brothers
return to their room, arm themselves
and sally out and who was unwilling to
see ;ln innocent man killed, ran into tho
street in oder to stay her brothers, but
was stopped by tho shot alleged to have
been directed against her by her brother.
