at the riot night before last, on Biddle street,
has resided in st. Louis several years, and
carried on the business Of selling iron, safes,

TURKISH PREJUDfcEs MELTING.-A cores
pondent the Boston Traveller gives an in /
teresting account of the manner in which
the preiudices of the Turks are compelled to
yield in the presence Of their Christian al

hood of Constantinople, he witnessed the
following, among other strange things:
FIRST, saw the Sultan SO much exhil-
Grated by the occasion, as actually to put his
horse upon the gallop, thing quite incom-
Paiible with the dignity of the Sultan. Sec
ond, the lady of Marshal St. Arnaud drove
in her carriage directly in front of the Sui

her; a stranger proceeding, and even more

The Wings and anti. Bentonites appear to !
have signally defeated the Bentonites all
over Missouri. The st. Louis Evening news
SAYS that Kennett is elected over Col. Benton
by over thousand majority; and nine Wings
ere elected to the Legislature, and nine Ben
ton Democrats, thus completely dividing the
delegation; whereas the Benton Democracy
had calculated on the whole, as the basis of
their hope of having majority in the Legs-
lature, and Of being able to return Col Ben
ton to the U. 8. Senate. But not only in St.
Louis, but elsewhere in the State, the cards
are running against Col. Benton AS far as
heard from the country returns show the
election of six to eight Wings and Anti.
Benton men to the Legislature, in counties
where the Benton men expected to succeed.
So far then there is loss of fifteen or twen-
ty Benton representatives in the Legislature;
and all hope of a seat in the U. S. Sem
ate must be utterly, and Cat Col. Benton's
period of life,) for ever abandoned. His
present seat in the Lower House being lost,
Col. Benton retires to private life, never
again, in all probability. to emerge from it..
The thoughts of the presidency, in view of
his present overthrow, cannot at all be en-
tertaned by any sane calculator of the i'm
pulses and characteristics of the. American
people.
IL is time that Col Benton had withdrawn
from the theatre OF active affairs. He is now
seve nty-tw years of ageS and quiet and re.
tirement most become grey hairs and the
evening of life. We confess the spectacle
had otter shocked us--the appearance OF Sc
old man, and one SO fill of troubles as Col
Benton has been of late years, fighting and
wrangling and striving in the hot and dusty
field of political warfare, with the bold, Che
rough and unsparing contestants that lead
the van always of partizun combats. 1t wa.
unsuited t, his age, to his character, to- hi'
past labors, and must have been discordan
to his feelings, as surely it was reyolting Il
popular taste and notions Of property. We
hope Col. Benton will feel relieved by th,
tissue of the late canvass, and lead the rem
nant of his days in peace and happiness coun
selling the young, inspiring patriotic senti
, rnents in the minds and hearts OF the risin!
? generation by letters, books and converse
tion, after the manner Of other patriarch
and sages.
ri Col. Benton was, in early life, so strong
partizan that he had no right ever TO expec
Wing support 10 his latter troubles. Bu
f we feel sure that no proper thinking VIII
II will ever visit him with contumely or insu
8 or reprouch in his latter days. Rather IL
i us all manifest that kindness for him an
# that respect for his age, his talents and b
}. feelings as shall soothe him in defeat, an
e make bright and pleasant the remainder {
