The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says:
The appointment of J. Ernest Meiere, of
Colorado, to be Consul of the United States
at Nagasaki, Japan. is received with aston
ishment by Democrats and Republicans alike
lie is the man who some time ago insulied
Commodore Truxton in the lobby of the Eb-
bit House. Meiere, who at the time was
intoxicated, was arrested and lodged in jail,
where he remained until the following morn
ing because no one could be found willing
to go his bail. He was a Lieutenant of Ma
rlnes at the outbreak of the War; but re.
signed his commission to enter the Confed-
crate service. He had known Commodore
Iruxton while serving in the Union Army,
and presumed upon his acquaintance with
the Commodore to approach him in the most
insulting manner. The Commodore resent
ing this, Meiere grew furious and exclaimed:
You don't want to talk with me because
am a Rebel. wish YOU to know that am
proud to be Rebel. don't wan, any OF
YOU blooded Yankees to think am sorry
for having fought you
Colorado men resent the idea that this ap-
pointment should be credited to their State
They say that Meiere does not belong to
Colorado. although they admit that he might
have lived at Leadvile for few weeks
Saturday evening a number of Navy Of
iicers met at the Ebbitt House for the pur-
pose of preparing formal protest against
the appointment Of Meiere. which is 10 be
submitted to Secretary Bayard at an early
day."

DEATH OF A NOTED MIssOURIAN.

B. Gratz Brown died at his residence
near st. Louis, Missouri, last Sunday of
pneumonia, aged so years. He was
elected to the Missouri Legislature be.
fore the war and made speech in that
body favoring emancipation of the
slaves in that State. At the outbreak
OF the war he entered the Union service
and when the war closed favored a gen.
eral amnesty as the surest and speediest
method of reuniting the States. Through
his paper, the st. Louis Democrat,
which Notwithstanding it's name, was
always Republican, he favored the Lib
eral movement. He was elected Gov.
ernor of Missouri and subsequently
United States Senator, and in 1872 was
the candidate for Vice President on the
Greeley ticket. Though a man of ac-
knowledged ability and profound
thinker, he left the political arena at
the expiration of his Senatorial term,
and he has scarcely been heard of in
politics since 1876.
