DisSracefnl Affair In 81. .Josefha
The most disgracsful scene that has
occurred in St. Joseph for years. was
Witnessed On the occasion OF the visit OF
Grant and Sherman. last week. A gang
of rebel rowdies.. lei by city officer. as
sem bIsd in the crowd. and when Grant
and Sherman attempted to speak. inter-
rupted them BY hoo,ipg. bowling. groan-
ing. insulting remarks, and blowing Of
horns. Grant refused to make speech.
and Sherman was not permitted to. This
affair was doubtless preconcerted. The
Mayor of the city made it convenient to
absent himself on that day, and went xp
to Oregon, where he might be ont Of the
way; and other city Officials were en-
gagged in the disturbance.
Such is the treatment st. Joseph gives
to the two leading Generals OF the nation.
Be it remembered. that they were travel
ling 10 the discharge of their military
duties. and declined all !profered poli.i.
cal receptions. Grant declined to speak;
and Sherman, who takss no part in pol
itics. came out to say a few friendly
words to the people. Yet. because one
was candidate for President. and the
other was bis personal friend, this insult
was put upon them BY rebels. and per-
mitted by the autho rites Of St. Joseph.
The yindicstor rejoices over the pro.
ceedings, in an article which we print in
this issue. The Gazette. while pretend.
ing to condemn it, does all in its power
to palliate the outrage, by making excu-
ses. and asserting that the Radicals had
first set the exsmpls-which is false.
St. Joseph. where this outrage was
committed. receives the trade of Repub-
lican merchants in Kansas, Nebrasks, q,
Iowa and Missouri. Her wholesale bus.
iness is almost exclusively 10 the hands
OF rebels, some of whom have been known
to discriminate in their dealings agains,
loyal and in favor of disloyal merchants.
and to boast Of it afterwards. A mer
chant who was present on this disgrace
fol occasion, says be recognized among
the mob. clerks from three prominent
wholesale houses at which he had that
day made purchases. We have ever op.
posed mixing politics and business. un-
less forced to it; but when a city delibe.
rately insults honored men of the nation,
and wholesale dealers send ont their en-
ployees to join in the mob. simply be-
cause one Of those men is the choice of q
majority of our people for the highest
office in their gift, we think it is time
that loyal dealers were seeking some 9th
er place to trade, where such outrages
are not tolerated.

The OLD REGIME.-Col. A. w. Slay.
back accompanied Frank Blair to St. Jo-
seph. on Saturday, and m,ds the most
acceptable speech to the Democracy ol
all that were made on the occasion.
Slayba was resident of St. Joseph,
before the war, and was very active in
mobbing Republicans. AT the outbreak
of the war. he Joined Prices msrauders,
and assisted in ravaging Missouri. Now
he is stumpiug in favor OF Seymour and
Blair. In this st. Joseph speech, he sx.
pressed himself ss much q rebel as ever.
and assured his hearers that by the cleo
tion of the Democratic ticket only could
" Gods chosen people. the noblest men
who ever lived, the gallant sons of the
South" gain what they had fought for.
without the sacrifice of single principle.
He thanked God that the Demo and
Frank Blair had come to the rescue Of
the South. Slayback states the issue
correctly. By the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket. the South would gain what
she had fought for.

so. We suppose we are one of the pa
pers referred to, as we recently named q
gentleman in connection with the office,
and remarked that be would GIL it more
creditably than it had been filled for the
past four years. That was ell the slur
there was in it. The Record short time
ago published sneaking attack on some
candidate for Congress, and has not yet
had the manliness to tell who it meant,
but leaves the way open to apply it to
whoever stands most in the way of its
candidate. When it has the manhood to
face the music. it may exhibit its right
eous Indignation at the slurs of others
with better grace.
