GETTING HUNGRY IN ST. LOUIS.
MORE ENCOURAGING.

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-The outlook is
more encouraging, and the citizens
this morning think the crisis is over.
There is no relaxation of vigilance and
troops and arms have been coming in
during the night, while the militia
and citizens are still forming into
companies. The secret of the mac
tivity of the authorities is that up to
last night less than one thousand guns
were in possession of the militia
throughout tho entire city. Now five
thousand men will be armed before
night. Gen. John w. Noble, with
battalion of four hundred men under
Captain Silas Bent marched out Of
the Four Courts and proceeded to
the Union Depot where large crowd
has virtually had possession since
Tuesday. The battalion was dissolv-
ed into companies, whose guns were
loaded, and the crowd was charged
with fixed bayonets and driven out
of the depot and yards. The move-
ments of the militia weregreeted with
cheers and yells. A man who SEEM
cd to be the leader Of the mob eIe-
ment present was seized and put un-
der charge of guard. The authori-
ties announce that the depot will be
held, and that interference with trains
there will not be permitted. A con-
sultation was held at the headquart-
ers this forenoon by Mayor Oversize.

Lieutenant Reynolds, with twenty

go out in search of them. Two large
bodies of Indians were seen yesterday
morning on Red Water, about five
miles from Spear Fish. Kiplingers

by Indians yesterday afternoon, seven

An uncRATEFuL LOT.

During all Governor Chamberlain's s
administration in South Carolina he
was at war with Chief Justice Moses
and his crew, and we believe the hon.
est press Of the country generally
sympathized with his efforts to get
rid of the Moses crowd by impeach-
ment. 8Vff ss ai1 Il,
Moses returned the compliment by
opposing Chamberlain, bitterly, at
tho last election, and brought to bear
in the name Of reform, his entire
scurvy court in support of Hampton.
The writs of injunction, and all the
other judicial devices, which Moses
as Chief Justice could bring to bear
to defeat Chamberlain, the legally
elected Governor, and to install the
pretender Hampton, are all matters
of recent occnrrence.
This man Moses, who had been de-
nounced, and perhaps justly SO, from
one end Of the country to the other,
by so-called reform papers, all at once
became transformed into a pattern Of
judicial wisdom and integrity. But
the traditional honor among thieves
don't seem to prevail among the
Hampton bauditti, for after having
got all the legal and judicial dirty
work possible out of their Chief Jus
tice they have gone to work and had
him indicted and arrested for fraud

WHILE the mob and militia in Bal
timore were shooting at each other,
Mr.. Hayes and his Secretaries were
holding "Cabinet meeting" at
which "the railway troubles were
discussed at some length" But no
action was decided upon. Had the
discussion been held sooner and
closed with an order from the War
Office to send all available troops to
Baltimore, Cumberland, Pittsburg and
other fOci of the insurrection, with
instructions to remove any forcible
or riotous obstruction to the public
commerce which should be found at
those points, the insurrection would
most probably have disappeared,
without bloodshed, in twelve hours.
Chicago Times.
The trouble was that the President
acted upon the first intimation that
he had from the Governor of Mary
land that his services were needed,
and had he moved before, the Times
would, had it acted as it has hereto
fore, have set up fearful howl about
the invasion of States Rights. The
Times knows very we'll that the Con-
stitution requires a call from State
authority for Federal aid, stating that
the state is unable to protect itself.
The Times has preached this States
Rights doctrine for 10 these many
years, and had it been southern Ku.
klux raiding negroes and numbering
them by the wholesale, or even white
Republicans Of the South, we should
now hear nothing from the Times but
the sanctity of States Rights, and that
the reports touching the murderous
ku-klux were all false.

Some industrious individual
sends us, every few days, an eastern
paper containing an article abusing
Judge Dillon for his action from
time to time touching the Central
Railroad Of Iowa in bankruptcy.
The trouble about these eastern finan-

western enterprise a fraud which
they cannot wreck or water into
their own pockets, and when they find
an incorruptible Judge like Dillon
across their track, they try to break
him down with newspaper yilifica.

road.
The truth is that the Iowa Central
was built just at the close of the war
when money was plenty and cheap

the East, thought they were making
good investment. The hard times,

There are portions Of this country
that are not blessed with good crops

Here, at home. we have only partial

a good deal, than we had expected a
few weeks ago. The country has
many hundred millions worth Of sur
plus supplies of various kinds.
The immense armies Of Europe
take into the war great many pro-
ducers, and all the powers Of Europe,
whether engaged or not in the strug-
gle, are preparing for the worst. All
these vast armies must be fed, and
the supplies must be drawn to great
degree, from the crops grown in this
sumption. Besides, vast territories are
country, all this increases the con-
laid waste and great many supplies
are destroyed. This must necessar-
lily call for extraordinary shipments
of grain from this country, and we
may be sure that we shall materially
feel tho effects of this greatly in
creased foreign demand before the
end of this year. Tho New York
correspondent of the Philadclphla
Ledger. Says:
4 t'Thc most important news to-day
relates to an extraordinary demand
for our new crop of wheat on British
and Continental account. Yesterdays
and tO-day's cablegrams were receive
ed ordering purchases for about all
that could be had at current figures,
and when it is added that transac-
tiOns for the week have run up to the
enormous aggregate of two million
bushels, the magnitude, as we'll as the
urgency, of the movement will be
comprehended. These operations, it
should be observed, have been at
tended with little or no excitement,
the parties engaged in filling the or
ders apparently being desirous of ex-
ecuting them, for obvious reasons, as

one Of the steamship lines had let all |

Parties most conversant with grain
trade are persuaded that there is
about this movement that

heavy purchases on European ac-
count cannot be on the calculation
that our harvests are to turn out bad

within the past few days have been
of a character to show that the crops

Even the corn, which was in some

,hasers on the other side must have
some information concerning the war,

going to be protracted, and that En-

necessary to add that these opera
ions have been attended by marked
