Murder and LawIessncss in Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, January 4th.--T1e southern
section of Montgomery county is mostly q
wild and hilly country, and during the last two
or three years has been inhabited In part by
reckless and law-defying young men, among
them the Days, the King boys and others,
who all, without regard as TO who have been
the most guilty or most wrong, are objects
of intense hatred upon the part of
law-abiding people. The King boys
consist Of John, Tom, Joe and
Abby King. Upon the night of the 29sh
ult. the three irst-named King boys went to
the house of Mr.. Nelson, four miles from
Americus, romantic little village sleeping
on a beautiful stream among the hills-the
Nelson's claim for the purpose Of robbery, and
the Kings denying it. At any rate trouble
soon began, and ended disastrously for the
Kings. The windows of Nelson's house were
broken, one of the King boys was wounded,
and another started across the dark
river with his boots on. A post mortem
was held by Squire Muehl, and young Nelson.

body was borne to the cabin of the Kings.
south OF Americus, the next day, for burial.
His cabin is occupied by old man King, two
of the boys, wives and their mother, Mrs.
Austin. About 6 o'clock that night a band
of citizens, bent on destruction, rode up to the
cabin and made an assault. Old Mrs. Kiug
and Mrs. Austin ran out, when Mrs. King
was wounded and Mrs. Austin shot dead.
Another of the King boys was crippled, and
still another, perhaps, is dead. During the
frightful tragedy old Mrs. King, although
wounded, thought of sending her youngest
boy Abby away to the village for coffin and
winding sheet, and she sped toward him,
The boy fled to Danville, and the Sheriff with
posse viii start to arrest the leaders of the
mob and enforce order.
Grants Change of Front.
NEw YORK, January 4sh-The Telegram S
Washington correspondent says: General
Grants remarkable change of front in regard
to the case of Fitz John Porter has rather a
curious explanation, which may or may not
be wholly correct It is asserted that if
Grant throws his influence in favor of the
restoration Ct Porter TO the retired list Of the
army, the Democrats in Congress will make
no further objection to the restoration of
Grant to the army on the retired list. Hith.
erto John Logan has been an opponent of
Porter. He is the principal leader of the bill
placing Grant on the retired list. It will be
difficult if not impossible. for him to con-
tinue his opposition to Porter, in view of
Grants change of front. The recently pub
lished opiaion Of John c. Roper, of Boston,
in his work on General Pope's campaign, in
favor of Porter, has a good deal of influence
There is little reason to doubt that Generals
Grant and Porter will now be placed on the
army retired list.
