' one of the most
ever made. In
18Gt, the Legislature stood 94 radical
to 48 democratic, or a majority of 46
on joint ballot. This terrible prepon
derance for wrong doing has been en
tirely wiped out, and a democratic ma
jority of six or eight substituted for it,
so that in the next year's legislation
we may look for something like fair
ness, and a return to common decency.
But thi i not the best of it. Thin
majority insure the defeat of that old
braggart seallawag Br.s Wade to the
Senate of the United States, a place he
has managed to fill for the last eighteen
years, to the disgrace of the State, and
the disgust of the right thinkingevery
where. In the Congressional districts the de
feat of the radicals is no less promi
nent. In the first, Egglestgx, radical,
is beaten by 400. In the second, Ci ret,
independent republican, beats Smith,
radical, editor of the Cincinnati Ga
zette easily, with a heavy majority to
battle against. In the third, CSciiesck's)
the radicals were beaten by 500. In the
fourth, (Lawrence's) the democrats
have a small majority. In the fifth,
(MrxGtx's) the democratic majority is
largely increased. The sixth, represen
ted by Clark, radical, returned a dem
ocrat. The seventh, or Shellebarger
district, vote very nearly tie a severe
knock or the knuckles of Shellebarger.
In the eightb,which lat year gave 11am-
itross, radical, a majority of 100, the
radical majority is about 100. The
ninth, misrepresented by Bucklaxo,
radical, save a democratic majority of
1500. The tenth, represented by the
meanest and dirtiest of radicals, (A sh
ut) a man with more dog metal in him,

the impeachment and town lot genius
the man of suborned witnesses, short
letters and telegraphic dispatches the
impeachment fellow has gone demo
eratic by a snail vote. Tho eleventh,
(Wilson's, rad.) was also redeemed,
with tieket-o'-Ieave to the incumbent.
Tho democratic majority in tho twelfth
was increased. The thirteeth, (Gen.
Morgan, dam.) majority 3,000. Mor
gan's majority much larger than previ
ously. In the fourteenth, the strong
hold of the abolition howlers, Walker,
rad., is sustained with a comforting
majority of about. 100! In the fifteenth,
the democrats are victorious, knockirg
Plat, radical, out of the ring. In the
sixteenth, the home of Binoham, the
democrats clear up that old traitor. In
the Western Reserve, the land of
cheese, the negroes, of course, elected
their men ; but by reduced majorities.
But even this is not the best of the
victory in Ohio, though it would seem
good enough. The issues distinctly
presented to the people, conspicuous
over all others, were negro tuffrage and
the payment bf the public debt in green
backs. These were presented in their
best lights, pro and eon, by Vallan
digiiam, Thurman, Pendleton and oth
er on the democratic side, and Wade,
Hats, Logan, and others on the disun
ion side. Tbe majority against negro
suffrage is somewhere between 40.6M
im,9t9. And tbe election of a majori
ty of democratic Congressmen, puts
tbe seal ot condemnation on tbe two
currency partt- bois withqoLl ir.Lrcst

Ohio will vote for the democratic
candidate for President in 1S6.
It is intimated, says the St. Louis
Times, that Judge Thurman will con
test Hayes' right to the gubernatorial
chair of Ohio, on tbe ground that in
two or three counties more than enongh
negro votes were cast to have changed
tbe result. As the Senate has tbe dis
position of the case, and is democratic
by two majority, there is an opportu
nity for justice seldom afforded.
TENXSTLVANIA.
In this State, there was no election
for Governor. Judge Sharswood, dem
ocrat, was eiected over Williams, rad
ical, by a majority not yet ascertained
(but large enough to give the State to
tho democrats and repudiate negro suf
frage, presented only in the represen
tative men of each party) to the su
preme court beneb. If, like Ohio, the
people had been called to vote directly
on the nigger issue, and the conversion
of the gold bearing bonds, the majority
no doubt would have been much larger,
and tbe Congressional and Legislative
tickets secured to the democracy. But
the issue was not a straight one, but
crooked as it was, the democracy gave
negro mnYage its quietus. (Wonder if
Thad. will pass a Congressional act en
franchising the negro everywhere ?)
Tho Legislature, is radical by a small
majority, say, Senate, rad., 10,dem.,13 ;

neighborhood, which will loose to the
democrats Berkelow in the U. States

We do not think it true that Massa

. TBE EFFECTS
ot these elections bave been to very
greatly strengthen tbe President and
the democratic party, and although the
negro-purif ans still insist that they will
impeach the President, somehow or
other we'donbt it. But it may be pos
sible, for "whom tbe gods mean to
destroy, they first make mad." Tbe
President will reconstruct his cabinet,
it is said, and win pat each democrats
into place as will honestly and fairly
reflect bis views ; will have the tenure
of office bill's constitutionality tested
and also that of the several reconstruct
tion acts, and as tbe villainous radicals
who passed tbem admit they were pas
sed outside of constitution, their abro
gation will not be thought disloyal or
treasonable.

This done, the kneli of radicalism is
sounded. Gabriel's trump would not

would not be judged for a thousand
years after the righteous.

Old Dominion, ibe skies are bright.
Up and be doing.
The following are some of the most
prominent of the radical puritans who
made the speaking fight in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, with their distinguishing
characteristics: .
"Asblej", the impeachment fellow, the
confederate of Conover, a perjurer.
Sheilebergcr, the negro leveler.
Smith, editor V)f the Cincinnati Ga
zette, of whom Vallandigham said, 'he
was a liar, a coward, and scoundrel.
Scbenck, the Vienna buti-her.
Bingham, murderer of Mrs. Surratt.
Chase, the charlatan judge.
Kelly, tbe Mobile mobist who, thinks
depreciated paper money quite good
enough for the poor.
Logan, the Illinois ignoramus.
Chandler, of Mich., the drunkard.
W ashburn, Grant's groom, that whis
tles 10 his horse.
Morton, the redoubtable Moxa, a fine
drinker.
Hays, the African mongrelist.
Wade, who said every man who pro
posed a conversion of bonds was a trai
tor ! Old Wade, the blustering, blun
dering speaker pro tern, of the senate,
who said it would not be long before
the whites and blacks should intermar
ry and the white be honored by the ad;
mixture of negro.
But all of these could not win.
We conclude to-day, tbe article of
our correspondent S. O, on the state of
tho dead. We have no particular feel
ing in this question ; but rather lean to
an adverse view of the question as pre
sented bv S.. C, but hope his article
will draw from- some of the friends of a
conscious state after death, an ar
cl, cool and calm, that informa
tion may be derived from both the
pictures. It is a happy thought that
after death the spirit passes at once to
God, but it is worth nothing it its truth
is not stated, as we thimc it is, at
last by strong inference, in the bible,
As theologians and expositors ditler
very widely upon this question, and as
books have been written pro and con,
nothing can be lost by its examination,
especially as tbe arguments of S. C,
are tersely and piously presented,at the
same time that his positions are well
taken, and clearly argued.

said that all the United States surgeons

that Dr. Mcdd, a prisoner, had to at

things we should like to know of Dr.
Mcdd, and one of this penal settlement.
1. We should like to know where the
authority for this penal colony conies
from ? 2. We should like to know what
particular offence JDr. Mcdd committed
to cause Mr. Johnson to send and keep
him a priconer there ? 3. We should
much like to know if it is any part of
liberty to thus deprive a man of his
personal freedom, with no hope of re
ward hereafter, merely for setting the
broken leg of a wounded man ? We
should like to know these little things
of some radical.

New York, Oct. 16 The Herald's
special says Major Price, the officer
who recently destroyed a printing ollice
in Camden, Ark., for some offensive
article published by the editor, has been
sentenced by court martial to forfeit
his paj- for one year, to be degraded in
rank to a Captarncy, and to be repri
manded in general orders.
A court martial verdict of a rather
unusual, and interesting character has
just been rendered. It is-iu the case of

paper in Arkansas, aud writing a de
fence of his act, based on the ground
that the military were "the masters of
the Southern people. Gilbert is found
guilty, sentenced to pay a fine of one
thousann dollars, and reduced to the
rank of Captain. The sentence is ap
proved by the President and Grant.

Editors MiiSutiri Democrat.: As some
additional evidence that the rebels are
again secretly, as well as more openly
in Maryland, marshalling their forces
throughout tho country for a united
and concerted effort to establish in
power those who have thus far failed
to destroy tho government, 1 give you
the following true copy, taken by my
self, ofa letter received at Linn Creek,
on the evening of the 2d instant. The
writer (Jackson) once lived in Camden
county, was a rebel sympathizer, saw
his error, desires no more war. It was
nut written for the public, but Mr.
Moulder, through a sense, of duty, per
mitted histather-in-law, Thomas Selby,
Probate Judge ail Clerk of Camden
county to use it. lie permitted and
requested me to copy it. It is as fol
lows :
Waverly, Sept. 24,18G7.
Dear Friend : Yours of the 5th of
this month has been duly received,
I had a lergtliy conversation with
General Shelby a lew days since. He
gave me his views. As concerning
the future he thought tho time was close
at hand when 'we would have all our
past troubles to contend with again,
but it would be on a different scale to
some extent. And better proof than
nil, the General received a private let
ter from General F. P. Blair, warning
him to be in readiness, for that war is
undoubtedly to bo and was near at
hand. And I care not how soon my
self ; if others can bear it, may be I can.
1 hope the people will have their eyes
opeu a little more than they did in the
other war. They may war as much as
they please, I don't expect to take anj
part in the affair. I will try to live and
let others do as they may.
William A. Jackson,
To David Moulder, ) of Waverly, Mo.
Linn Creek, Mo. (
" 1 forbear comment, as you will of
course give to the public whatever may
be proper. It would not, however,
be difficult to draw a picture of Gener
al F. P. Blair following the camp Jack
son rebels in a charge upon the Union
forces through whose valor the coun
try was saved. It might also, in this
connection, be well for you to direct
the attention of the loyal people to the
fact that quite a number of insurance
agents, in the persons of ex-rebel offi
cers, have been, and are, traversing
the State, and that their chief employ
ment may be to secretly organize the
rebels for tho war above alluded to.
And it might be well to ask if a num
ber of Methodist ministers South, lately
having come into the State, are not al
so engaged in the same work.
Certainly loyal men should take wan
ing and prepare for any emergency,
that, if tbe rebels and their friends again
draw tho sword, it may not return to
the scabbard until it shall have per
formed its proper work.
Let us not close our eyes to stubborn
facts, lest, ero long, when too" late, it
may be said of us : "Ye can discern the
face of the sky, but e cannot discern
the signs of the times. To avoid blood
shed and rebel rule, let loyal men be
prepared.
$Tery truly and respectfully,
lour obedient servant,
J. W. McClcrq.
It is barely possible that such a man
as William A. Jackson resides at Wa
verly, in this county. We do not know
him, if he does. What particular object
McCluro had in publishing the letter,
we know not, nor is it material. It
enunciates nothing. The intent, no
doubt, was to embroil Gen. Suelbt in
tbe political issues of the day, from
which he has seduously stood aloof, and
taken no part. Even admitting tbe
identity of Mr. Jackson, (which we by
no means deny,) the conversation with
Gen. Shelby disclosed nothing, except
that Gen. Suelbi is' of tbo opinion
that we "shall have our first troubles
to contend with again," but "on a some
what different scale," and that he would
"try to live and let others do as they
may." There is no great bugbear in
all this, so far as wo can 6ee. Gen.
Shelby has as mnch right as any one
else to speak of the future, to prognos
ticate its events more than such fel
lows as Wade, who says we are to have
war, more than the radical villains in
Congress who have been lor two years
using their best endeavors to bring on
another conflict more than the dirty,
oath bound rascals who make up tbe
"grand army of the republic," because
he is quiet, and proposes to remain so,
if he can. What is it, then, that has
sent a shudder clear through this white
livered McClcro, and his cowardf3' co
adjutors of the Democrat? We answer,
a guilty conscience a conscience that
"Hath athonund reril tontni.
Ami CTery tongue brracjs in a srveral tale,
AO'l rerjr Ule condemns me for it villnn "
But the lowest, meanest; most" cow
ardly allusions in the above are' to in
surance agents and 'a number of Meth
odist ministers, south, lateby come into
the State." McCllro knows that the
secret. leagues of the "Grand Assina
tion Rascals," and the other sniveling
perjured concern called "A. D." mean
ing Assination Devils, are organised
for mischief, and, with the blopd of
Head lee yet warm on his hafids, he
dares to throw an imputation' oh those
whose boots he could not get to black.
"But look for min whn a cftwsrd wlnn;
For l'ear and cruelly were ever twiua. " .
Veca usC,
"The coward nerer on himself relieve,
But to an equal for assistance flicn. "
To place Gen. Blair among the reb
els is a joke that could only be con
ceived by such fellows as McClurg or
Grosvenor. It is rich. Nothing equals it
in point of humor, unless it be Sir John
Falstaff's troubles to get up courage
enongh to do his own fighting ! No
doubt of it,McCIurgand Grosvenor, and
Fishback, and McKee, all vallorous
knights of the stay-at-home-and-howl
description, could each cry out-;
"I feel mv inew slacken 'rl with the fricht,
An.1 a cold aweat thrills down all o'er my limits.
As if I were dissolving into water.
And no wonder, when it is known

Our War Indemnity.
W WE STAND WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
From State T ime.
A wrong imprest. ion prevails regard
ing the amount of the State's war in
demnity claim agaiust tbe U. States.
E-en our State Treasurer has inadver
tently underrated it, us it i.s indicated
by a recent letter from him to a New
York, journal containing the statement
that the amount of the claim is six and
a half million, less the direct tax against
the State of about 8700,000. To cor
rect such an impression is famished

invaluable report for 1805, the follow

pointed by the President of the United
States in accordant e with the provis
ions of the act of Congress entitled
'an act to reimburse the State of Mis

and provisioning militia forces to aid
in suppressing the rebellion," approved
April 17th, lstG, do find, after deduct
tbe amount of direct tax due by the
State to the United States utider the act
of Congress approved August 5, 1861,
that there is clue to the State of Mis
souri for moneys expended for enroll
ing, equipping, arming, subsisting and
paying such militia forces of tbe State
as were called into service by the Gov
ernor, either at the request of the Uni
ted States department commander

co-operation with the authorities of the

ders, the sum of six million four hun
dred and seventj- five thousand eight
hundred and fifty-one dollars one cent.
Done at the city of St. Louis, S'ate
of Missouri, this 15th day of December,
A. D., 1866. John D. Stevcnscn, A.
S. Williams, William S. Mosely.
The sum appropriated tor the pay of
this claim by the act of Congress au
thorizing the Commission to adjust it,
is 86,715,089 65.
This was the officially reported
amount of the claim after deducting
the direct tax, which was before Con
gress to be provided for by the passage
of the act. It will be seen that nearly
the whole of it is allowed by the Com
mission that the appropriation was
sufficient to cover all thai is allowed.
The 'finding' of the Commission has
been subjected to a rigid examination
by the accounting officers of the Treas
ury at Washington, and has been found
to be correc t iu nearly every particular.
Furthermore, nearly the entire amount
found by them to be due the State has
been paid. Of the application that has
been and is being made of the sums
paid, mention will be made presently.
how disposed or.
An act to provide for the payment of
the interest upon the State debt, ap
proved March 12, 1867, directs the fol
lowing application of the proceeds of
a Alnim Tha i wW Ac t " As SP AI1A mil.
tlJV 'lt4alli X II V? XII tJl (IIVI1 i r vnv Hill"
lion five hundred thousand dollars of
the first received, in the bonds of the
United States, to create a permanent
school fund; the reservation of five
hundred thousand dollars for the Semi
nary Fund, and to ay outstanding
Union Military Bonds ; and the pay
ment of the balance into the State In
terest Fund, for the purpose of meet
ing the overdue coupons of the bonds
issued or guaranteed by tbe State iu
aid of railroads, (the Hanibal and St.
Joseph railroad excepted.)
Thcso directions of the law were
modified by a decision of tbe Supreme
Court, (Kellogg vs. Bishop, March T.,
1867,) requiring a reservation also of
a sufficient sum to pa all outstanding
Union Military Bonds, and interest
about one million six hundred thousand
in amount. The disposition of the
proceeds of the claim would then be :

Total (amount of claim) S6, 475,831
At least, it would be thus according
to our views jf tbe subject and con
struction of the law. But we under
stand that i. is tbe opinion of the State
Treasurer, in which he is sustained by
the Attorney General, and by Judge
Ilyland, of the Legislative Committee
to settle with the auditor and treasurer,
that the amount reserved for the Semi
nary Fund is Jive hundred thousand
dollars. One hundred thousand dollars
was the amount belonging to the Semi
nary Fund, which was invested in tbe
stock of tbe old State Bank, and the
amount of which the fund was deprived
by the bank's sale. We do not think
the legislature proposed to do more
forthe fund than to replace that amount,
in directing that of the proceeds of the
indemnity 'laim "a deduction of five
hundred thousand dollars for that fund,
and for the pay of outstanding Union
Military Bonds" should be made. It is
true there is an aggravating want of
precision as to what fraction of the de
duction it was intended should be for
the Seminary Fund. But it is reasona
ble to suppose that it is not more than
one hundred thousand dollars or a sum
equal to tbe amount that bad been ta
ken from it. It is very well known
that under the act as it stood, inde
pendent of tbe decision of the Supreme
Court, thi would have been the sum
set apart for it, and that the balance of
the deduction authoriod,$400,000 only,
of tbe indemnity proceeds, wonld have
been applied to. tho pay of Military
Bonds. But the opinion of the Su
preme Court does not authorize the set
ting apart for the Seminary Fund of a
larger sum than was contemplated by
the Legislature. It simply requires a
reservation for the pay of outstanding
Union Military Bonds, of a sum snffi
cient to nav all of them from the first
of the proceeds received, instead of
only 8400,000 of them, when received
finalry.
But, accepting the "new entertained

PAYMENT OF COUPONS.
Of the above stated sum deposited to
tbe credit of the Fund Commissioners
-to-wit: S2,M),471 85, there is the
sum of 5310,5.4 SO held utider the
clause of the ac t of lat winter to pro
vide for tbe payment of the interest on
the State debt, (approved March 12,
1SG7), before cited, requiring a reser
vation of 8500,000, for the Seminary
Fund and the pay of Union Militarv
Bonds, etc., which sum of 8310,534 is
the amount that, with the balance to
the credit of l lie Treasurer, is required
to make up the said sum of 8500,000 to
be reserved. It is however still to the
credit of the Fund Commissioners.
The balance of the sum to their credit,
82,501,037, is now being paid out by
the National Bank of Commerce in N.
York, in pursuance of the direction of
the Fund Commissioners, Messrs.
Thompson and Bishop, issued by them
Monday last, on the past due coupons
of Missouri bonds. It will be sufficient
to pa3" four and one half coupons on
each bond.
The following statement of the con
dition of
THE RAILROAD DEBT.
will be of interest in this connection.
The original amounts of bonds issued
and guaranteed by the State, in aid of
railroads, for which the State has been
compelled to provide, are as follows:
Forthe Pacific railroad...
For the North Missouri
Forthe Iron Mountain.
For the Soiithwi-si I'acitic.
For tlie Platte country. . . .

Wl.OUO
Total 620,701 ,!.-
This total constitutes the original
principal of the railroad debt for which
the State has beeu required to make
provision.
It has been reduced, however, by pay
ments into the treasury of these bonds
for the bank stock and railroads sold,
to the amount of 81,450,000. Tbe ac
tual principal of the railroad debt is
therefore only 819.251,000, bearing a
semi-annual interest of 8577,530, and
an aggregate of pat due interest of
S6,030.U60. By the payments now be
ing made on this sum of past due inter
est, it will be reduced to 84,338,423, and
it may bo sai'ely calculated that it will
be still further reduced. We think we
are warranted in estimating that tlie
amount of past due coupons left unpaid,
to bo funded, will not exceed four mil
lions, when the principal of the railroad
debt will stand at a'lout tweuty-ihrce
and a quarter millions.
Progress of Infidelity.
- It appears that on Sunday lat a
church was opened in Ho!okon, New
Jersey, dedicated to atheism and infi
delity, and amongst the startling an
nouncements made by the chief speaker
on the occasion was the following piece
of blatant blasphemy: "This house
shall be called the 'Mausoleum of Jeho
vah.'" It is needle-s to' sny that the
man who ventured upon the utterance
of such an expression had not "the fear
of God before his eyes," but c onsidering
that a very large number of respectable
and intelligent people honestly believe
in sacred things,- and some are even
more susceptible of insult offered to tbe
God they worship, than the- would be
ofa personal affront, common decency
suggests that such ideas should be more
modestly expressed. (A radical, of
course !) The feelings of such people
should be, to some extent, at least, re
spected, who, in exchange for an hon
est Christian faith of which they would
deprive a man, they offer him not even
the shadow ofa hope. Dispatch.

non interest bearing indebtedness was
converted into bonds bearing six per
cent, gold interest, payable semi-annu-a'ly
a very peculiar way to " pav old
debts." This is made apparent by the j
looting up. in -sept., nic grana toiai
of indebtedness was 82,492,763,305 05,
and in October it was increased to 82,
495,277,446 76, or 82,491,01 71, so that
the debt increases monthly instead of
heing diminished, llus must continue
until the interest bearing debt is taken
up by legal tenders, or tlie nation is fur
ther taxed, for if we run behind 82,494
0S1 71 monthly it must be met in some
way. What is the object then of such
tattle? Very evidently to mislead.
N Freemasonry in Missouri.
At a meeting of the Missouri Histo
rical Society of St. Louis, held at the
O'Fallon Polytechnic Institute, 011 Sat
urdaw last, Capt. John I). Daggett, tbe
oldest affiitted Free Mason in Mis-ou-rt,
read an interest ing paper giving the
hist ry of Freemasimary in this State.
From it we learn that the first war
rant of Constitution was granted in
1807-8, by the Grand lxdge of Pcnn-s3-lvania
to Louisiana Lorig', No. It9.
to be holden in Ste. Gencv.eve. Otl o
Strader was its first Master, and l)r.
Aaron Elliott and Joseph Ilertick wete
its first Wardens. I 1809-10. a char
ter was granted by the Grand Lodge of
Pent.sylvania, to certain bretheru in
the town of St. Louis, to Vipen St.
Ifui Lodge, N. 111. This Lodge
finally ceased to exist, and the next
Lodge organized in that town was
chartered by the Grand Lodge of Ten
nessee. Subsequently other lodges
were chartered in different towns in tbe
territory.
In Febnary, 1821, in pursuance of an
invitation sent out by Missomi Lodge
No. 12, of St. Louis, a convocation if
Masons met in that city in April, 121,
for the purpose of organizing the Grand
Lodge of Missouri. Kdwar-I Bates acied
