a- Apropos of that Liberian exodus scheme
a that is setting the negroes here and in othel
x- Southern States half wild, the l)epartmeit o
It State has just received information from thi
x- American Consul in that country that give~
or even more unfavorable and melancholy re
- ports of it than those already heard. The
at climate of Liberia is, they say, peculiarly un
a- healthy, not only to men, but to horses,
ut mules, donkeys and most other civilized ani
s I mals. These cannot exist at all in the coun.
try, but sicken away and at once die. As fot
the civilization of the African republic, it ti
r centuries behind even barbarous Hayti,
is There is not a plow throughout the land, and
iY the agricultural instruments used are of the,
r- most primitive character, cutlasses, hoes and
id bill hooks. As a consequence, the country does
e not raise even its own food supply, and al
e though one of the best countries in the world
it for the cultivation of rice, has to import that
- grain from England. Such is the country that
so many of our negroes want, or think they
want, to emigrate to.
Y Three of the delegates were selected last
' week in a meeting held at Shreveport to go
as pioneers to Liberia, explore the country
and report upon it. A considerable sum of
I money was obtained from the negro field
hands of North Louisiana for this purpose.
SOf course, these negroes will lose their money,
but the expedition of these pioneers will
probably be productive of gotod effects, and
e convince the negroes that Liberia is scarcely
a country where the Southern blacks will
better their condition. This ought to be al
ready demonstrated by the fact that those
Liborians that could, were glad enough to
come over here. Indeed, it was but a few
years ago that we boasted of three Liberian
carpet-baggers in our Legislature. The eml
gration seems to be somewhat the other
way, and there is probably more to fear of an
Inroad of Liberian statesmen than any ex
odus from this country. Let the Caddo dole
gate visit their native Africa; they will come
back wholly cured of this Liberian disease,
Returns from the Virginia election show
that the contest for the Legislature was de
cidedly a scrub race, there being so many
questions at issue-among them that of the
State debt, taxation, etc.-that political lines
were, to a great extent, ignored. Thus It is,
that while the Conservative State ticket is
elected by an overwhelming majority, the
Legislature is wonderfully and fearfully
mixed, and contains Conservatives, Readjust
ers, Repudiationists, Moderate Republicans,
Radicals et al. of a hundred different varie
ties.
Thus, in Henrico a Re~tiblican and Inde
pendent are elected to the House; in Fred
rick a Conservative and Independent; in
Prince Edward a Radical to the House and a
Conservative to the Senate; in Chesterfield a
Republican and an Independent; in Albemarle
a Radical to the Senate and an Independ
ent to the House; in Rockbridge an Inde
pendent to the Senate and a Conservative to
the House; In Rockingham Readjusters; in
Franklin a Conservative and Independent,
and in Campbell county, one of the largest
counties in the State, and containing one of
the richest cities in Virginia, a full Working
men's delegation.
Such appears to be the result in Virginia of
an off-year and a quiet election.
The vote was singularly, criminally small,
Richmond with a population of 75,000, casting
only 1700 votes, or one in fifty of the popula
tion, only one-tenth of the vote it should have
cast.
The Conservative State ticket was, of
course, unanimously elected; the Legislature
also will have a good Conservative majority.
The Independents, however, have been won
derfully and unexpectedly successful, owing,
doubtlessly, to a division in the Conservative
ranks on the question of the State debt. On
this issue the contest mainly hinged. It is
impossible to say just now how the election
will affect this question, and the exact senti
ment of the Legislature will scarcely be
known before its meeting. The unanimous
election, however, of Lieut. Gov. Walker, who
spoke out so boldly in favor of the payment
of the whole debt would seem to indicate the
complete rout of the repudiationists.
One question, however, is certainly settled
the Moffett "Bell Punch." Not an anti
register man has been elected anywhere in
the State, and Dr. Moffet, the inventor of the
"bell punch," was returned almost unani
mously from his district as an evidence of the
popular approval of his invention.
More Wives than He Want ed.
Henry G(rham. a Utah Mormon. undertook
to enastise his six wives with a horsewhip for
disobedience. He had previously punished
them singly many titnes, and had grown arro
gant, but this time he had overrated his power.
The six wives joined hands, or fists, and before
tGorham ee.Lpeid from them he was so badly
scratched, bruised and bitten that his recovery
was for a time doubtful.

The contest for the seat in Congress from
'rTHE THIRD ('ON(IIRESnIONAI. DISTII('T OF THIS
1- CITY
or is once more brought before the people, and is
t. attracting a largy share of attention among
or those who interest themselves in polities. As
n the question involved is the seating of a sound
Democrat or a violent Radical, some facts In con
nection with it will no doubt prove interesting
to the r, aders of the DEMocaAT. The contest has
up to the present hinge I upon the return of the
n vote in Precinct No. r7. When the tally sheets
Sfirst reached the county clerk's office a hasty
a abstract of the vote was ready for the benefit of
the press. By this count L. S. Metcalfe, the Re
Ll publican candidate, had nineteen majority.
When the canvassers met,. n a day or two to
e east up the vote. the total gave I. G. Frost, the
Democratic candidate.
ONE MAJORITY.
An examination showed that the difference was
created by the count of the vote in preoln'l No.
3 57, The first abstract made gave Mr. Frost 272
votes. whereas the figures as tl'ey appeared to
d the canvassers were 292. The county clerk
t- a Democrat, claimed that the figure 7 had been
altered to a 9 after the tally sheet were receolv
ed in his office. Many persons examined the
o figure with a microscope, and some contended
r that the change was apparent, while others
f were as confident that the figures weore just as
e returned by the judges of election, and that no
alteration had been mnde. The questhca was
cat rltdl before the courts, and the Circuit Court,
Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, ill sue
cession, decided thlt tile figure ihad been alter.
ed and the callvasseis were ordered to count
Frost's vote as 272.
TOE DPECISION OF THE 5UPIlRIrME COU'RT
was just reached the of her day, and so on last
Tuesday the canvassors reassemblled and
counted the vote as directed by the court, giv
ing Me'caife a majority of nineteen votes. The
canvassers, against the protest of Mr. Frost's
attorneys, altered the figures in the return sheet
from 202 to 272. or rather theyv erasedl the 29,2 and
inserted 272 in red ink just below. The can
vanssers made out a certifllate in favor of Met
calfe, explaining the facts in the case and the
process by which this result was reached. Note
withstanding the decision of the SHuremeC ourt
and the action of the canvassers, Mr. Metcalfe's
legal dlmculties are not all removed.
THE LAW
requnires that the Secretary of State shall, with in
ninety days after the election. issue a c,'rtill
cate to the candidate receiving the highest
number of votes, this certificate to be based
upon a true abstract of the vote forwarded to
the Secretary. The legal steps taken prevented
the canvassers from completing their count
and the final casting up has been delayed be
yond the time prescribed for issuing the certif
cate. Now, the Secretary of Stato takes the po
sition that as the ninety (lays have expired
there is no law requiring him to issue the cer
tificate beyond that time, ant he11 doeclines to do
so. But
THE OONTEST MUST FINALLY BDf DECIDED IN
(CON(ORESH.
whither Mr. Frost has carried it, and there is
every reason to to believe he will win. The
gentleman who was county clerk at the time of
the election, informs me that he has personal
knowledge of error in the returns from two
precincts that will increase Mr Frost's vote 24,
thus giving him a majority of live votes. Tile
lunges from one precinct applied to the clerk
within two days to correct an error that de
frauded Mr. Frost out of nine votes, but as the
returns had been certified to. the figures could i
not be changed, although the error was as plain r
as daylight. In another pre('3l'nt. an error
which defrauded Mr. Frost out of 15 votes was
palpable, but the judges made no attempt to
correct it.
The fact is the Republicans spent a great dleal
of money to carry the Third District. and there
is no question but that some of those mistakes
by which Mr. Frost was defrauded were the re
sult of bargains in which the judges of the a
election were bribed. It can readily be proved
that at least $l:0.oo1 were spent to secure the
election ofjMetcalfe. Zach Chandler contributed I
$5000 for the lRepublican committee, a purse of
$5000 was raised among the Republicans and
Metcalfe himself gave $looo. Voters were
actually bribed at the polls and agents of Met
calfe traversed the district on election day with
rolls of greenbacks in their hands. Congress -
alone has the power to revise the tally sheets.
correct the errors and open the ballot-boxes.
and as Mr. Frost intnds to press his claim 1
this coursea will no doubt be plurslued.
Each week your correspondent makes
A TOUR AMON(O RIVER MEN,
1 conimerclal men and capitalists, in the hope of
hearing something of an encouraging nature to
send the DEMOCRAT on the subject of direct
t trade with foreign countries by way of New
f Orleans. Of late the nawvpapers of St. Louis
have evinced some interest in this important
matter, and on the supposition that these edi
torial articles had arousoe some interest on the
subject. I to-day interviewed several of our
leading citizens. But candor compels me to
statethat
THE OUTLOOK IS NOT AT ALL HOPEFUL.
There is no movement in that direction in pro
gress. nor even contemplated. Reasons for de
lay seem as plentiful as when the subject was
first broached, and procrastination bids fair to
steal from St. Louis all the benefits destined to
accrue from the establishment of this enter
f prise. t
Corn. C. K. Garrison, of New York, now in this
city, has manifested considerable interest in the
establishment of
A LINE OF STEAMSHIPS FROM NEW ORLEANS TO
BRAZIL.
Your correspondent visited the Commodore at
I his rooms in the Lindell Hotel, but found him
rather unwell and hence not in the mood for
talking much. The Commodore. however,
I stated that he is ready to furnish ships to ply
between New Orleans and Brazil, or to any
other foreign ports whenever he can be shown
that the enterprise will pay. He said that he
has a number of steamships lying idle and
it is costing him a large amount to
keep them in repair and prevent them
from sinking. He would very gladly join in
any enterprise that will engage some of these
vessels, with a prospect of a fair return of
p rrdflt. He went further and said he would sup
ply the ships for an enterprise that promised to
even to pay expenses. He thinks a foreign
trade can be developed, the be eflts from which,
to the commerce of the Mississippi Valley, are
almost beyondcomputation. But men of means
and energy must take hold of the enterprise.
He ih nks the jetties have progressed far
enough, and at present afford a sufficient death
of water to warrant the inauguration of this
steamship enterprise.
I next visited
HON. THOMAS ALLEN,
president of the Iron Mountain and Southern
tailroad. a man who has labored for twen y
years in build'ng up St. Louis. Mr. Allen said:
I had atalk with Com.Garrison only aday or two
ago on the matter of steamship liw.s from New
Orleans to Brazil. and even to European ports.
Garrison has plenty of ships lying idie to
put in that kind of business.
What does ( om. Garrison ask in the way of
aid or-'o-op ration? -
Mr. Allen-The truth is he asks nothing ex
cept the prospect that the investment will pay.
If he c uld -ee money in it he could employ his
shius in that way very soon. without waiting to
consult anybody else. So too would others.
Just as soon as it can be shown that the enter
prise will pay there w.ll be plenty of men ready I
toengage in it.
ES-MAYOR JOSEPH BROWN.

t least twenty-three feet deep. He said that
none but large vessels will answer the purpose
of this trade, and owners of such will not risk
their passage through the jetties until assured
that no damage is likely to result.
Now this is just
HO* THE DIRECT PftOJ.ECTr TANDS.
notwithstanding the assurances of one or two
persons who are continually writing letters to
the press and assuming what they have neither
the metani nor ability to carry out. Nothing can
be gained by deceiving the ipeople of New Or- 4
loans with accounts of enthusiasm on the part
of Nt. Louis that has no exiutence whatever, not
even int the imagination of those who say so.
The management of
THE IRON MOUNTAIN RAILROAD
are making arrangements to change the ganug
of that roild and relay the track with steel
rails. At. present it is the old-fashioned five
foot gauge, and the only way by which through
frelght can be carried over it is to transfer the
cars from narrow to broadt gauge tracks. All
the other roads centering in St. Louis are of the
popular gauge, four feet eight inches. To prn
yont breatinghulk and shifting freight the Iron
Mountain Company, by means of hydraulic
power, lift the cars bodily from the trucks of the
narrow or medium gauge track, transfer them
to trucks corresponding with its own gauge.
This is an expensive process, and the manage
ment have decided to toduce the gauge of the
entire line to the optdlar width. When this is
done the road will imtnediata'ly be connected
with the Union Depot, anti then every railway
line running into Ht. Louis will centre at one
RDot.
It. sle hardly necessary to say the
ELECTION NEWS
is recelved hero with very general regret and
disappolutment. The political situation in
New Yoirk encouraged Democrats to hope that
Conkling would ie shelved, but the dispatchbs
to-day show that he his won another term in
the Menate and out himself in a position to
command the itopublican nomination for
President in lans. But if he does attain the
nomination unless all signs fall, he will be as
effectually shelved after 1ss0 as his most. violent I
enemy could desire. The prospects are, that
the Demoershis will be able to beat any
man their opponents choose to nominate
in the next presid, ntial canvals but
thorn are some reasons why Conkling can
be more oalsly bIeat'n than some others. D
mncracy extracts some comfort fro i the fact a
denlinstrated by past pol itical experience that
it is not well for a party to he too strong. It
breaks down of its own weight, andi had the
tarty won all the great H.Rates this year, it might
Ilave served to weaken it in more important
conlltests hereafter.
As the season for the river to shut Itself up
within its winter enclosureof lee Is drawing N
very near, thler is nothing of interest to sum
