Uncle Sam's men.

--The Newark (N. J.) Daily Mercury complains bitterly of the insolence and the thievish propensities of the United States troops. These men enter beer saloons, restaurants, stores, etc., and after ordering anything that may suit their fancy, refuse to pay the bill. Of course a row follows, and the police rush in but even the city authorities are resisted, and the United States officers excuse their men by saying that ‘"Uncle Sam's men are boss of the police!"’ Just a foretaste of the military despotism Scott, Lincoln & Co. propose to inaugurate.
