A little gratuitously circulated sheet says
snot one of the mob who sacked the Offices
of certain newspapers in April, 1865, is at all
afraid or ashamed to avoW 1t. Of course
not. Creatures who would be guilty of SO
vile and coYerdlyFan act areitoo debased to
be sensible of the emotion of shame. That
they would not be afraid to avow it, is a dis
grace to our officials who have sworn to adj
minister the law without favor. or partiality,
The Chinese rioters are gentlemen compared
with the rufiaus of the newspaper mob. F Il
Gen. Bull Run Mcdowell was sgone Of the
rufianly band who, if they did not incite, did
applaud the outrages Of that press destroying
mob. The poor laborers who engaged in the
CooIie affair had the example Of Mcdowell
and the other rich ruffians before them. 4
