CONSERVATIVE TRAIroR.-Quite .
number of conservative including
members Ct ths Legislature, have recently
been arrested in Galloway and neighbor
Ing counties Of Missouri BY the military
authorities. These arrests are prompted
by Information obtained from the capture
of rebel mail, in which were found sufi-
clent matters TO implicate large number
of conservative chaps" as mere rebel
tools and hireling pimps of the traitors.
E- "The weak things Of this world -
&c-, our readers remember the quotation,
and here followsa paragraph from the ac-
count of the Cleveland Convention, which
illustrates the idea. Our readers will
recognize Colonel Moss as the "border
rufhan" of the text:
The State of Missouri led the Conven-
tion, and the majority from that State
were swayed at the will of that one oil
their number who repeatedly boasted he
was border ruf6an; and Is he stalked
back and forth upon the stage, comman-
ding hearing just when be saw fit, as
no. sometimes with his slouched hat or
and somstines with head bare, pointed
his thin bony finger, and wagged bis long
slim neck, with hair dishevelled and
manners that scorned Chester6eldian
rules, be was the very impersonation Of .
"partisan leader" And he led followers
rough-shod over every obstAcle--and won
the day.
