a CoLOnED RECRUIT-Col. w. W. San
dcrs. of Baltimore, who was one of the Grant
electors, published letter during the sitting
of the Conventinn, giving his reasons for
quitting the Grant party. and pled5ing his
support to ''that grand oil veteran of equal
rights: Horace Greeley, whose record and
whose life is sufficient guarantee that. the
rights Of all men will be protected under his
administration" a correspondent who has
since ''intcrvicwcd' him, reports him as say.
ing that it would be fatal policy for his
race to vote as unit for a sinking party,
and. that, as most Of them live in the South.
they should cultivate the good will Of the
whites among whom they live. A man of
more rretension might utter a less sensible
thing.
But his letter renouncing Grant and re-
signing his honorable position as clcctor ap-
pears to have inAamed the Radicals even
more than the brilliant success of the Balti-
more Convention. The Baltimore american
bcstows more thln a column on him. The
Washington Chronicle. edited by the pious
Senator assais him in half dozen articles
editorial and communicated.
1t would seem from these loyal sheets that
their late friend and associate is one of the
most disreputabe characters in the land, al
though he is black. 1t is not denied that
he was SO intelligent, so respectable, and so
entirely enjoyed the confidence of his race.
that lc was selected as clector both in COM
plimcnt to him and to them But now they
insinuatc that he misappropriatcl the pro-
cceds Of apic-nic, and put in his pockets
$4,000 which was raised at a meeting held
in honor of Emancipation. The pious IIar-
Ian, in recording these naughty deeds, turns
up hiscycs, and wonders not so much at his
leaving the electoral ticket as at having been
put on it.
The furious abuse of this poor colored man
for daring to avow'h his preference for his
lifelong friend, Greeley, over Grant, is in
tended to deter others from following his cx-
ample. But negroes, like the oficer-holders,
see which way the wind is blowing, and by
degrees they will muster courage to act for
themselves. s.-Richm0m Wig.

lIorEf LIFE IN ST. LoUIs.-I am attach

1t is altogether too lively for quiet man.
There arc about 100 dining. room girls, and
the corridor on my floor has, by mutual con-

nightly settlement Of disputes. Til cat fight
begins between two, about anything or
nothing, and in short time involves the
entire force, including clerks, stewards and
landlords. 1t was exciting for the first ten
Or dozen nights, but it is getting monoto-
nous. Besides this, there is a pretty divor-
ccd woman on the same floor, and her dis
carlcd cut throat-an ill-looking dog, with
murlerous grey cyes-still fancics it is his
duty to exercise a sort Of supervision over
the goings and cominss, and doin.s and say

servants, aad inlulges in threats of cutting
hearts out. Ifhc learns that his ex-wife HAS
paid visit to the icc.crcam saloon in COM
pany with Il male friend, his ttrOcious appc-
tito for hearts is stimulated. The other
night the lady was guilty Of playing game
or two Of chess with the Doctor, and the
cut-throat is hat on the trail Of the medical
heart. threatening to scoop out that noble
cntrail in lis entirety of auriclcs, vcntriclcs
