or rather OF their officers, lying on the North river,
in leaving their piers and stcaming almost at full
speed around the city, where its encrcng waters
are covered with every conceivable char
acter OF vessel has arrived at such q
pitch that legislation is needed at once
to prevent further 0urages by these men. The last

them at such times and how readily they run down

for q moment In their course.

Cra,z Brown Opens rirc on President
Grant.

The Hon b. GRATz Brown, the indcpen.
dent candidate for Governor OF Missouri
and one OF the ablest men in the country, in
his recent speech at St. Joseph, threw down
the gauge Of battle at the feet of Gen.
GRANT for presuning to interfere with the
local elect ions of that State by removing
from Office those who dared to express opin-
IONS Of tleir own on homo affairs. Mr..
BRowN, who was one Of the founders of the
Republican party, hurled defiance nt the
President for meddling in this manner with
what does not concern him and he took no
pains to disguise his contempt for the incon.
siderable person who, though not even a
third rate politi, an, nor statesman of any
grade is assuming to dictate to the people Of
Missouri for whom they shall vote for mere
State officers.
This is one of the most stunning blows
yet dealt at Gen GRANT for his oilicious in.
termeddlng with matters in which the prcsi-
dent of the United States has no right to
interfere, ind which at all events, lie far be.
yond the reach Of such President, and are
entirely too large and complicated for poll.
lcisn like GRANT to handle
We much mistake If the President docs
not get the worst of it in this conflict with
o. influential and popular Republican rs
Mr.. BRowN. Ills slogan will ring all
through the State and VII call around him
the Independent men Of all parties in Mis-
souri, who, 1t now seems highly probable,
will elect him Governor by decisive major
ity in spite cf I'll GRANTS efforts.
Should Brown be chosen Governor in
such contest, he viii at once become
prominent candidate for the Presidency.
