One OF THE KIDNArrERs OF PHINNEY ARREST.
ED.-Jacob Armit0gc, the champion and assistant
of Forbes, in the Abduction of Jerry Phinnoy,
was brought to this city this morning, by Consta-
bic Brown, Mr.. Cherry of this city and a gentlo-
man of Frauklinton. They found him last night
at the residence of Mr.. Fleming, of Prairie town.
ship, in this county, He is at this writing, in the
custody of the Sheriff, but strong effort is be-
ing made to have him bailed, by those whose
sympahcs for the individual induce them, we
fear, to overlook the magnitude of his crime
We have been informed that Armitago was on
his way to this city, to give himself up to the
civil authorizes, when he was arrested, and that
his friends or connections had avowed the fact a
week or two since. The supposilion is, if this
representation is correct, that he preferred run
ming the risk of conviction and Imprisonment to
having price set upon his head and a constant
apprehension of arrest 1t is also stated that his
friends, with whom he stopped, refused to admit
Mossrs. Brown u Co., until they gave an assu-
rance that they would not claim the reward, al
lcging that they were coming to the city with him
in the morning. These representations may
have been made incorrectly; we give them as
they were received. BE the state of the case as
decd of darkness utterly revolving to oVcry feel
ing of humanity, is now within reach of the law.
We have no desire to prejudice thecase, as twill
finally ybodccidcdby jury; and forbear therefore,
to say moro at this time. We would that Forbes
was secured and ina airway to iychis deserts.
Since the above was written we have been in
formed that bail has been given by Armtagc, in
the sum of $3.50, for his appearance at Court;
and he is, therefore, at large. Those who have
bailcd him agreed to do so before his return, as
they state, and that was the condition of his re-
turn. He has felt himself branded man and
determined to know the worst rather than re-
main in suspense.
The trial of Henderson and the others arrest
ed and imprisoned Immediately after the abduc-
lion, has been set for special session of the
Court of Common Pleas, to commence on the
9Th day of September. We suppose Armitagc
will be triod at the same time, lie states, We
learn, that Phnncy is still at Frankfort. Some
doubt has been entertained on this point, and ru-
mors of his removal to the south have been in
circulation for some time.-Ohio State Journal

LEXINGTON. THE MOB CITY.

The city of Lexington is fast earning the ap-
pcllation of the "'mob city," 1t seems the pco-
pie, or a portion of them, were dissatisfied with
the verdict Of jury who sat upon the trial of La
laycttc Shelby, who was indicted for murder, and
the Judge and eight jurors were hanged in cfigy.
At a meeting held upon the occasion, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
ReS0ircd, That the people of the city of Lex
ington and county of Fayotte, dsapproyc of the
course of the judge and jury, in the case of La
layettc Shelby.
Resolved, That if IIorino had shot Shelby, he
(lIorinc) would have been hung before the going
down of the next days sun.
ReSoIred, That inasmuch as money, and the
influence of the arisocracy of this county, has
virtually cleared Lafayette Shelby, that We the
people assembled, disapproyo Of the course of
that jury.
Resoiccd, That the Judge of the eFayauo circuit
court, be, and he is hereby requested to resign.
Resolced, That the eight jurors and the Judge
be cut down from their present hanging position,
at five minutes past eleven o'clock, and be march
droud theslrccsof Lexington, tothctun of the
rogues march, and that they be publicly burnt.
Resolrcd, That the procession be commanded
by VIM. r. Logan, and at his order to be public
Nv burnt. r. J. WILSON, Chairman.
The committee would state further, that, du-
ring their sitting, Henry w. Hampton, personally
appeared and made the following statement:
When the jury retired, ii was proposed to 60
into secret session. After that was carried pro-
position was made whether or not any uryman
was for hanging. All agreed not to hang, from
the instruction of the Judge and the admitted evil
dcnco Of Shclby's father and PindoII.
That Lexington must be Il nice place! A
Judge sworn to discharge his duty according to
law, Jury sworn to return a verdict agrcoably
to the evidence brought before them, are hauled
up before mob and called to an account for their
acts. This mob proceeds to hang, parade, and
burn in clligy those men who, under the solcmni-
ty of an oath, do what in conscience they are
bound to do. 1t is disgraccu, ycit is but the Ie-
gitmato fruits of that spirit which manifested it.
