The Missouri Murders.

--Speaking of McNeill, the murderer of ten Missouri Confederates, the Grenada Appeal says:

‘ What makes the crime of this Federal officer mere deserving of punishment or retaliation, as proposed, is the fact, as announced by the St. Louis papers, copied by us, that on the day after the murder of the ten victims alluded to by the President the party whom they were suspected of having removed returned to his home, and stated he had not been molested, but had been absent on a trip, of the nature of which he had not chosen to advise any one beforehand. If all the circumstances in this case do not warrant a resort to the rule of lex talionis it would be difficult to conceive circumstances that would. We hope Gen. Holmes will obey his instructions to the letter:

’
