Fruits of Radicalism.—Missouri prescribes a test oath for lawyers, and disfranchises rebels as rigidly and unsparingly as Tennessee. She is ultra-Radical. Yet her bonds sold in New York market, on the 13th inst., at 101.
So much for the State which two years ago the rebel journals told the public that Radical legislation was running to perdition.
She is to-day one of the most prosperous and thriving States in the Union. Her decent rebs are becoming quiet; thrifty foreigners are coming in, and her rowdy rebs are running off to Brazil.—[Nashville Press and Times.
