THE UNWANEIED,

The democratic Tiger was let loose
at St. Louis, and showed his f;.ngs in
something Of his old style. The Chica-
80 Tribune says:
The hotels and public places of Saint
Louis OH Sunday were i'll the possession
OF u hOwling, drunken Democratic mob.
The ordinary quiet Of the Lords Day
was disturbed by the unseemly wrang-
ling, cursing and fighting OF factions,
which ut last reached sucn u disgrucc-
1dl pitch that the police force OF the
city had to be called in to preserve the
peace. The field was occupied by two
inobs of bruisers and plug-uglcs. the
one headed by Morissey, lighting for
Tilden, the other by Kelly, the Tam
many Sachem, fighting against Tilden.
All day long the rutfians and shoulder
Mtters OF Tammary and the Bowcry
gulped down the Wretched st. Louis
whisky. They wrangled, yelled, and
vociferated in the hotel corridors. They
gathered i'll crowds on the streets and
cursed each other. They swarmed in
the saloons, dens and dives, and
smashed each others noses and black
ened each others eyes.
IL was John Morlssey, the accom-
plislled prize fighter and gambler, lead.
ing mob for Tilden against Kelly and
the Tweed -Ta1nmany mob. OF course
there were respectable people at the
convention, and it WAS not altogether
n the hands of the disordcrly, un.
washed> mob elements.
The contrast between the Democratic
and the Republican Conventions in this
respect Is SO striking as to have at
txacted the attention of all parties.
The mob element was not represented
At tho Cincinnati Convention at all.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS.
The Work of the Commission.


In the House of Representatives at
Washington, last week, the Speaker laid
before that body the sixth general report
of the Southern Claims Commission,
which embraces special reports in 1867
cases. OF this number 976 were al
lowed, in whole or in part, and 800 dis
allowed. The amount allowed is $474,-
632, and the amount disallowed $3, 79l,-
800. OF the claims allowed, sixty six
are of claimants who were soldiers In the
Union army. OF those disallowed, 100
were of persons who we're in the civil or
military service of the Confederacy, or
who voted to ratify the ordinance OF
secession or took the oath of allegiance
TO the Confederacy. In every case act
ed on the decision of the commission
has been unanimous.
The claims disallowed are not only on
account of disloyalty, but for want of
jurisdiction, and in many cases there
have been grave misrepresentation of
quantities and values. The whole num-
Der of cases prosecuted within the two
years allowed by law for their presenta-
ton, viz: March 3, 1871, to March 3,
1873, was %, 29S; heretofore reported,
1922 !; reported herewith, 867-1O, O89 !;
leaving pending and undecided 11,209.
OF this number there are about $50
where the evidence has been taken and
presented for decision, and about 1,500
suspended for investigation by agents
or for further evidence. In the remain
ing cases no evidence has been taken.
Six hundred and fifty of these remain
ing cases are for amounts above $40, 900,
in which the claimants are by law re-
quired to present their witnesses before
the commission in Washington for oral
examination.
The term of service of the commits
sion expires on the 10th of March, 1877,
and as near that date as the prior adj
journment of Congress will allow a sup

certain newspapers throughout the coun-
try had intimated th0t the Board of FL

81 800, 900 of the Appropriation, assured
them, that the Board Of Finance will do
nothing in this matter that is not entirely
consistent with strict fidelity to the Gov
eminent, to the obligations of the trust
imposed upon them and to their indi-
vidual sense of honor and fair dealing.
After detailing the proceedings in Con-
gress prior to granting the appropria-
ton, he said that the Board of Finance
are simply trustees, and as such are
holding the money pending its payment
to the rightful owners. The Board of
Finance have no disposition to withhold

or from the Government, and 80 soon AS
they can know by the decision of a
competent tribunal to whom they are
entitled to pay it they will act accord

John Chinamail.

The evidence taken by the Congress
sional committee at San Francisco shows
that the Chinese have many firm friends
in TINT State. One witness has frankly
stated that in his opinion Cinnamon
would make excellent husbands for
American girls. Another has been so
charitable as to admit that there are
many excellent things in the Chinese
religion. On Nov. ID the Rev. William
W. Brien, Presbyterian minister, who
has large fruit orchard at Marysville,
CAL, gave John Chinaman a frst-class
character. Said he 81 regard the
moral and physical condition of the Chi
nese laborers as better than that of any
other class of laborers. They are tenn
perate, clearly and healthy. They are
less corrupt and injurious to us than the
laboring classes Of other nationalities.

Sargent here put in sly question !:

under Gen. Alatorre, near Huamantla,
about 100 miles distant from the City OF
Mexico. Although he had much the
largest force, Diaz was nearly defeated
after four hours fighting, when Gen.
Gonzales came up with 4, ZOO men, turn

Gen. Alatorre's army. Puebla fell on
the 18th by revolt of the troops in favor
of Diaz. Lerdo De Tejada, with his
Government, fed from the capital on the
21st, escorted by about 900 men. He
made for Moneha, where, in imitation of
Juarez, he will attempt to maintain a
constitutional Government. His train
consisted of 16 carriages, 100 extra
animals, and $1,000 but his escort
began to desert him the next day. and
on the third day he had but 300
men. When last heard from he was in
the state Of Michoacan. Before leaving
the capital, President Lerdo appointed
Tagle, an adberent OF Diaz, Governor of
the district, and Debrio, another Diaz
man, President of the city municipality.
Perfect order reigned in the city during
the interregnum. Gen. Diaz and staff
entered the city on the 23d, in the midst
of the greatest demonstrations. Intelli-

of cities, towns and garrisons. Vera
Cruz has also declared her adherence to
Diaz. The railroad is now running un.
