from such prominent organ OF The "alldecency"

deep antipalhy fell BY the Boston Wings for their

Native Americans;
"Mr. Davis was an honest, an upright, and a
conscientious man. He exer,ei the utmost Of
his ability, mental and physical, to discharge the
duties OF his ONCE faithfully and correctly. He
was peculiarly unfortunate in The circumstances
in which he was placed. He was
thrust into position for which he was not well

An Outrage.

The Bowling Green Journal publish
es, in connection with the arrest Of a
gang of scoundrels in Lincoln county,
the names of some OF the citizens of St.
Louis. 1t pretends TO have heard that
one Of the arrested scoundrels said some
thing from which the inference is drawn
u%niavorable TO some of our citizens.
The infamous libel of the Journal
will, we learn, be noticed promptly by
the gentlemen affected thereby, and in a
proper way. The editor of that paper
should be more cautious in circulating
verbal reports, set afloat by arrested
h~orsethieves and counterGeiters against
respectable persons TO put officers on a
wrong scent. He can have NO excuse
for the use he has made of the names of
some of our citizens in connexion with
this matter, and should make ample a
tenement therefor at once. The source
of this libel will be promptly ferreted
out.-[Mo. Reporter.
