ST. LOUIS.
Suit for False Imprisonment.

ST. Louis, August 13.-Joseph A.
Berry, formerly proprietor Of the
Missouri Freedman, published at
Richmond, Ray County, has entered
suit in the United States District
Court, in this city, against Governor
Fletcher for false Imprisonment.
Berry claims that, in 1867, he was I'M
prisoned four days, and whlle IN
prison was threatened with hanging,
unless he would sign certain papers
retracting criticisms he had publish
ed on Gov. Fetcher's policy IN what
is known as the Lafayette County war,
and that he was compelled to sign
said papers to save his life; that the
press. a quantity of type and all his
appurtenances of his printing Office
were seized, for which he asks indem-
nifty in the sum of $50,000.
Adiutant General Thomas, who has
been stopping here for a day or two,
leaves in the morning for Leaven-
worth, on Western tour of inspec-
ton.
Col. McClurg, the Radical candi-
date fer Governor, arrived here to-
day, and addressed a large crowd in
front of the Planters House this
evening. While he was speaking
Seymour and Blair flag was unfurled
before him. Subsequently the flag was
cut down by some one in the crowd,
which produced great excitement,
and fears of a riot were entertained.
A large force of police were immedi-
ately upon the ground, and made
numerous arrests, which reduced the
excitement and restored order.

an audiance of near two thousand
people, at Grandyiew, last night. The

The : Fighting Boys in Blue" to the
number of one hundred and fifty or
more, we're on hand with fife aud
drum, and the old flag for which they
had risked and suffered so much, was
borne at their head as they marched
along, keeping step to the music of
the Union. The ladies, God bless

lifted up their voices to sing the stir
