Mana St. Louis dispatch under

suit was offered to General Grant and
party on their passage through St.
Joseph the other day. 4 fter being
escorted to the Pacific House bv a
large concourse of citizens. it was
noticed that among the crowd was a
party of rebels From certain move
ments they made it was evident that
they intended mischief In response
to great cheering, General Grant APP
peared on the balcony and made a
neat speech. which was received with
tremendous applause, after which Gen
eral Sherman was loudly called for,
and appeared on the balcony. At
this juncture the plan of the rebels
was developed. \ man named HAYS,
having previously been filled with
whisky, commenced a disturbance by
vigorously blowing a tin horn, and
the others cheering for Seymour, boot
ing and bowling in a most boisterous
and insulting manner. As soon as
the excitement was over, General
Sherman continued his remarks. say
ing: General Grant and myself
know how to appreciate any spirit Of
respect. but neither he nor / are to be
Disconnected by any large crowd. We
are used them Here some person
called for three cheers for SEYMOUR
The cheers of the ruffians and groans
OF the loyal people interrupted the
General for a few moments When
order was restored, General Sherman
said .. do not in general counsel

Joseph, | would take that man (refer-
ring to the person who commenced
the Disturbance down to the Missouri
river and duck HIM We have fought
rebels and thought they had enough
fighting. This called forth loud and
prolonged cheers. and the General
finding he could not be heard further
retired.

DIsCoRD on local and personal ques
tions is apt to divide the Republican
party in New York, as it did the
Democratic in the days of its power ::
but all seems to be harmony there
now The New York Times, a Jour
ma. which whatever its other faults. is
candid and not at all given to exager-
alton, says GRANTS majority in the
State will be $4,000. 1t says that,
among the business classes of New
York city, thousands who do not or
dinarlly vote the Republican ticket
are now sustaining General GRANT
They long for that peace which his
election would bring, that they may
renew commercial relations with the
Southern people. 1t is for the inter
est of all classes that the civil gov
ernments there established should be
permanent, and that the disturbing
influence of Southern disorganization
should cease.

that terrible water spout occurred
in one of the canons south OF Cotton
wood station one day last week, by
which three men and a number OF
horses were drowned \ Mr.. Err
ickson had large force of men and
teams at work in the canon. cutting
and hauling wood. The food of water
came upon them so unexpectedly, and
with such tremendous volume and
rapiditv. that they had not time to es-
cape. but were overw helmed by IT.,
and three of the men and several OF
the teams drowned The canon was
swept almost entirely free of the tim
Der; and the old elm tree which had
been landmark for years to the trav-
elers on the Plains was uprooted and
swept down into the Platte river.
So terrible and destructive a water
spout visitation has not occurred on
our plains for number of years.

IN an article in regard to the signs
of trouble in the southern states, the
New York Herald says:
All this turmoil is the natural re-
suit of the policy avowed by the Dem
ocratic party. and backed up by the
President, Of not recognizing legal
authority OF State Governments or
ganized under Congressional recon
struction laws. but insisting upon the
right of the Southern States to call
their electoral votes under the laws
and regulations of the Provisional
Governments organized soon after the
close OF the rebellion by Andrew
Johnson. An attempt to carry out
this principle would be necessarily a
revival OF civil war, as it would bring
the reorganized authorities in direct
personal collision with those who dis
regard and violate the existing laws
of a State
