SEVERE, DouBTLEss.--A st. Louis
%, in
down on Us like a thousand Of brick for having
dared to question the necessity and propriety
of the I'd Cavalry taking possession OF
tie Fair Grounds and turning up and destroy.
ing private property. This chap-who, We
understand, is porter or understrapper in the
eommissiliy department Of the regimea at-
threatens US with the direst vengeance if we
do not refrain fem any further remarks on
the subject. and AZ ro!ogize for what already
said. Now, this scare dodge is pretty much
played out. "Dlf" It is but short time
since number Of the officers Of your Reei
meLt were about TO clean us out for finding
fault with the Government because the soldiers
were net properly clothed and protected from
the inclemcnt weather They concluded, how
ever. not to undertake the job, aud why? Be-
cause the soldiers told Your masters that ii
they attempted uything of the kind, Daven.
port Barracks would be altogether too hot to
hold them. Diff calls US traitors, and gives
as basis for his argument, thst We have pub
lished structures upon certain officers of the I'd
Cavalry. Conclusive evidence, doubtless. He
says that Hatch backed up by a thousand
troopers can. aud if the opportunity presents
itself aciH give Us a sound thrtshing. You for.
get, "Dif" that We are stockholders in the
Davenport Gymnasium, and are heavy cusses
on the muscle. Towards the close of his let
ter, "Dif" grows facetious. and attempts to
rdicuie the idea that cur Fair Grounds are OF
any account, and Gays where he is located the
grounds cost more dollars than ours did cents.
Guess that is q ie The fellow winds up by
advising us to leave our personal effects behind
Us when We visit St. Louis for fear Ct confs-
cation. We always gave you credit for having
" long reach" Dif, and will keep close eye
on you and our pockets when in your vicini
ty. Altogether the letter is funny produc.
tion and demonstrates conclusively that" Diff
in his youth must have been troubled with
Ealing sickness fits"
