To the Editor of the St. Louis Times:
A few days ago Joseph Bienker, the
cook of the steamer Marble City, on her
trip from Msmphis 60 this port, was bTu-
tally assaulted by negro mob cOmpris-
fpg the entire crew of the steamer, some
forty or fifty hands in sii. Blenker was
beaten and bruised by the savage horde
In g most feTocious manner, without any
cause whatever, further than his being q
Seymour and Blair man. Whist makes
the affair still more reprehensible is the
conduct OF the officers of the boat on
watch at the time, including the engi-
ueer, mate and others, who stood by and
watched these dusky ssvages to the num-
bsr Of forty mercilessly beating the cook,
and not offering any Interference what
ever, bet eOolly saying, let there be
fair play,n in the face of such tremen-
dous odds. Their action is much more
reprehensible than the brutality Of the
negroes. The cook maintained his ground
heroieally, but ultimately hsd to sue
cumb TO the black and white Radical
crew. Tbs whole affair affords = fine
Illustration OF the hArmOnizing Influences
Of negro supremacy.
