General Grant I'm st. Lou,s,

General Grants reception at ct. Louis
was shabby and mortify ing affair. The
Generals party, arriving at the Ievee,
found it blocked up with tobacco draws
and nobody there even TO show them tbs
way 10 their hotel. Fortunately, the Gem
eral was an old resident of st. Louis. and
knew the wsy. Fortunately, also, he had
some experience in sufmountiug barricades.
and thus managed to get over and through
the tobscco drsys and piles Of freight, 10
his hotel. His st. Louis entertainers
thought to make amends for this shabby
treatment by sending him one ticket to the
banquet given to the English railroad gen.
tlemen. As no invitation was extended TO
his staff officers, the General considered
that he would have been justified in declin.
ing to attend himself, but did attend never
theless, out of respect for the Eaglish psr.
ty. Some Of the Generals Illinois friends
who were amazed at this Uoorishness. took
pains to inquire into the cause, and were
informed that the citizens of st. Louis
were acting under the advice of General
Sherman, who had assured them that the
proper way to receive General Grant, and
the way most consonant with his own feel.
ings, would be to let him come and 90
quietly, and pay no attention to him.

TN the Future as I'm the Past.

-
It will be remembered that the last Ma
tional Democratic Convention declared
that "in the future as in the past, we will
adhere with unwavering fidelity to the
Union under the Constitution" An ex-
cellent, though unintsntional satire upon
this declaration was uttered by Mr.. Nc
Farland, the Spokesman of the Southern
delegation which recently called on Presi-
dent johnson, when he said to that gentle
man that the Southern people were "as
earnest now and faithful to their allegiance
to the United States and to the Constitu-
tion of the Union, as IN the past" The
absurdity of such an assurance from South.
ern rebels is manifest; from The Chicago
Democracy it is no less SO. d

Senator sumner upOu General CO1's

In his speech st Worcester before the
Massachusetts State Union Convention
Senator Sumner adverts to General Cox's
colonization scheme as follows:
A voice from the West-God save the
West-reviyes the exploded theory of
colonization, partly to divert attention
from the great question of equal rights
To that voice reply, first you ought not
to do it because besides its intrinsic and
fatal Injustice, You will thus deprive the
country of what it most needs, which is
labor. Those freedmen on the spot are
better even than mineral wealth. Each is
a mine out of which riches can be drawn,
provided you let him share the product.
And through him that general industry

anything but virtue, and is, indeed, form

The Suffrage Question In Connecticut,
The democratic" Committee of Con-
2ecticut has Issued an address to the spar
ty" in that State, calling upon them to de-
feat the amendment striking out the word
white" from the Constitution, and admit
ing blacks to the suffrage. The reason
given is that "white me n must rule Con-
necticut" As the blac Ks are about one in
ninety of the population, the inference that
If the ninety. first black man has ballot
he will rule the ninety white men is vastly
complimentary to the negro. If the claim
that one negro can rule ninety white men,
if given equal rights, is notnegro worship,
we should be glad to learn what is.

Death OF mr.. arnndv.

The new comic paper, "Mrs. GruDdy,"
which made its first appearance last June,
died on Saturday, Of inanition. The quel-
ulOus old lady will not have many mourn
ers at her funeral. Her existence had not
been long, it is true, but it was long enough
to convince the public that it ought not to
be any longer. "Mrs. Grundy" deserved
to die. Its very name indicated its old
TOmAnish tendencies. 1t not only lacked
ability, freshness and point, but it was
entirely wanting in the progressive spirit
which should characterize the Wit as well
as the wisdom of the day.
