Whom Gen. Grant loft Washington
to come West, herwas followed By :
sn''eaking spy il the employ. Of the New
York World, Who wrote dirty Letters Of
personal abuse 70 that paper about the
Generals trip.. The only fact which
this hired sneak really discovered dur
ing bis journey was ! that three glasses
Of beer were actually taken into the car
which General Grant acd the party ac-
oompanying occupied, but whether the
said beer was consumed by the General
or by others Of the party the smeller
could not positively state. The same
contemplate spy, after trailing around
after the General, when he went to Wis.
it relations in Ohio, and finding moth.
ing bad to report, was finally observed
and accosted by friend Of the Geucr-
al, and the fellow admitted that he was
sent by the World to find out what be
could to the discredit Of the General,
but that he had order. to report MOTH
ing IN his tauor! @~ .@ "
During the war, this same World
made a great fuss because the govern
,ment employed detectives to track men
who were engaged in plotting treason,
and called it mean and dirty, and con-
temptible business. And yet this same
paper sends a hired spy after man,
not engaged in plotting treason, not
dangerous to the very life Of the nation,
but honored by the whole world as it's
foremost defender and champions
man hired to drag the cutters for mis-
cradle slanders against the fair name Of
the faithful soldier, and under order. to
report nothing in HI. favor.
Is this the dignity and deoency of
Metropolitan journalism No con-
tcmptible sneak-thief on the continent
was ever guilty Of 4 dirtier and meaner
thing than this paper, the representa-
tive Of the Democracy Of the chief city
Of the nation. The meanest and small
est country paper IN the United States,
however familiar with filthy scandal and
blackguardism, would hardly stoop to
so dirty thing as this performance Of
the World. To send a man to collect
facts would be Objectionable only on
the score Of decency and courtesy
things Of which metropolitan journal
ism boasts great deal, but which the
World at least seems to know nothing
about-but to send a man to report
nothing but scandal and slander, in.
structed not to tell the truth when the
truth is favorable to the foremost SOL
dier Of the nation, this is indeed thing
which We cannot characterize too &C.
verely.

are fearful that one may become the

arises. What are the probabilities of a

1t will be remembered in pursuing these
inquiries that the twins are held togeth-

Paris it excited the minds Of the fore

Physicians and Surgeons in Paris at

ed wildly through tho city, killing,
burning and robbing, venting their
vengeance especially on negro orphan
asylums, schools, aud: tcnements, but
killing Republicans, soldiers, draft off.
GERS, police, and whoever came adverse
y in their way. From 1000 to 1900
persons were thus being murdered
At the time Of Gov. Seymours arrival
at the City Hall, : large mob Of rioters,
who had assembled in front Of the 7+i-
lsne office, and we're being urged by
their leaders to make an assault upon
it, hearing that the Governor wanted to
address them, moved en ma..e over to
tho City hall, where Seymour. deliver
ed to them the following speech, their
ringleader standing beside him while
he spoke. He said:
MY FRIENDS: 1 have come down
here from the quiet Of the county to
see what was the difficulty, to learn
what all this trouble was concerning
the draft. Let me assure you that I am
your friend. Uproarlous chcering.]
You have been my friends-Tcrics of
eyes," "yes." "That's So" 1--WE are
and will be again. and now I assure
You, my fellow citizens that I am here
to show you 4 test Of my friendship.
(Cheers. I wish to inform you that 1
have sent my Adjutant General to
Washington to confer with the aotho.-
tiles there, aud to have the draft sus-
pended and stopped. [Vociferous
cheers.] I ask you as good citizens to
wait for his RETURN, and 7 assure you
that I will do all that I can to see that
there is no inequality. and 20 wrong
done to any one. I wish you to take
good care Of oil property as good citi-
zens and see that every person is safe
The safe keeping Of property and per-
sons rests with you, and 1 charge you
to disturb neither. It is your duty to
maintain tho good order Of the city,
and I knoso yos vii do It, I wish you
now to separate ~ good citizens, and
yoa can assemble again ,oheneuer you
soish to do 70. 1 ask you to leave all
to me now, and I will see to your rights.
Wait until my Adjutant returns from
Washington, and you shall be satisfied.
Lirten to me and see that there is no
harm done to either person or property,
but retire peaceably.
The draft was not stopped, and so
far Gov, Seymour's promises were talsi-
fed, but its enforcement required 25,.
600 troops to be withdrawn from the
army to New York, at a time when
they wers most needed to confront the
enemy. Probably no public officer ev-
er more signally disxraced himself than
Gov. Seymour did on this occasion, BY
making promises which he could not
perform, to those who were contending
against q Government he had sworn to
support.
