MOB AT ST. LOUIS.

On Sunday week, quite excitement took place
la the vicinity Of tho medical department Of the ST.
Louis Univefsity.
IL appears that small vault, used by the medical
school, and containing the rsuains OF several human
bsings, was found uncovered presenting most re-
voting aight. The railing around II had been
broken down, and a portion of one Of the bodies
dragged out and thrown upon an open lol adjoining
This, early on Sunday drew an excited crowd
The vault was covered by the police and opened
again by the mob. Between and o'clock, 4. M .
the building was attacked with stones One person
was arres cd, whom the crowd attempted in vain to
rescue. Five were then arrested, and sent TO
the ealaboose. Three military companies were OF
dered out, which greatly excited the mob. Spe ches
we're made by Mr.. McCowen, Judge Mullanphy,
the Mayor, and Mr.. KayseI. On proposition Of
tho latter gentleman, committee Of twelve were APP
pointed TO guard the building, the mass adjourned to
the court house, and the Mayor withdrew the mil
tary and released those under arrest. The build
ing was eventually given up to a part Of the mob,
who demolished skylight windows, and whatever
else could be destroyed Alter the meeting in the
court house however, most of the multitude re-
tired. The affair was TO undergo an investigation
on Monday.
The St Loui. Republican Of a later date says
shat the whole matter has been refer ed to the judge
Of the criminal court and the conduct Of the profess
will be brought before tho grand jury, which
meets next week when the subject will be properly
investigated. The punishment which the law in-
flicts is ample"

THE CENTRAL ORGANIZATION

is now complete, and the decks are cleared fol
action. We trust every true man will be found
ut his post, with ready hand and bold heart
Let the enemies Of the Administration find It's
friends everywhere in perfect state OF organi-
zation, with arms in their hands and resolution
in their hearts 10 use them, if assailed This,
aud no other, is the position of safety.
The CENTRAL COMMITTEES will Immediately
addr, IS circulars TO the leading friends of the
Administration in all the States, urging gene
raj and simultaneous organization and it is
hoped and confidently expected that the ap-
peal will be promptly responded to. The safety
and welfare Of the counlry-and private as well
as public interesls-may depend in no ordinary
degree on the in,repidty Of the friends of MIR.
Tyler. The present happy condition of the
country, is sufficient evidence OF The wisdom
and efficiency of those who conduct the Admi-
nisration. We have no assurance, we can
have none, that any change will be for the bet
ter but we have well-grounded reason 10 appre
bend that such changes as are proposed will be
for the worse. Hence The friends of good Gov
ernment are invited TO rally in their own behalf
Upon the receipt of the circulars, we would
respec fully suggest TO the friends of the Admin
i5traton to call upon their acquaintance who
may agree with them in opinion, and to cores
pond with those whom they cannot readily see
in person, so that the movement SO well begun
10 OHIO and Pennsy lvania will spread instantly
over the entire Union. Whether few or many,
there is no reason whatever why our friends in
any section of the country should be discour-
aged Every district, county, village, and
township, should have its organization. If in
any county there should not be more than one
friend of the Administration in each township,
let them, nevertheless, meet in county conven-
ton, or otherwise select the county delegate TO
the State Convention And when the State
Convention meets, let all the counties be repre-
senled. We would recommend early day
as possible to all the States. Many Of the State
Conventions might be held on the birth day of
Jefferson, the 18th Of April
The result of such an organization Of the De-
mccratic friends of the Administration will be
mportant-important 10 the Administration, TO
the country, and to those participating in it,
Such an organization is The only rock of safety,
in such bosterous times as we are speedily to
have. And il may not only prove a rock OF
safety, but a means Of unbounded prosperity and
perma nent success.

nifcent--perhaps l should say most magnificent
ship now lying in our hsrbor. He was received with
all the honors due to his distinguished position, and
returned, believe, highly gratifed, with his visit
two days after, he came up, by invitation, to pic
mic given by his friends Of both parties the Ma
val Hospital, accompanied by many Of his distin-
guished friends, where all seemed anxious to do him
honor. The day passed off most sgreesbly every
one enjoying himself very much, and all highly de-
lighted with the President and the Secretary of Wa
The Secretary said that he could do anything we
Virginians could, but drink, and that we did
very gracefully much to rid it of some objec-
tons.

appreciated.
