Mass Meeting OF the Germans Last
Night-Great ExcitemeDt-Dr. jung
lhaus Burned I'm EffigY.

Freemun's Hall OH tho corner of Mercer
and Vine streets, was crowded last night by
Germans, to take action against man named
DR.. Junghaus.
The circumstances OF the difficulty are
substantially as follows: In the German
Revolution of 1919, committee of two con-
sisting OFF. Fickler (now in the city Of New
York; and Mr. SteiEuex who died few
months since in this city were sent from
Carlrhue to Stattgardt, to muster the popuIa-
tion of Wurtemberg to assist the British
revolution. Although their mission was
secret one; an open dennuciation was made
against DR.. j., who revealed to the govern
ment of Wurtemberg the whole matter,
causing the arrest of Ficklet. Steinuex es-
capped. For this intelligence Dr. ]. received
badge of honor. Fickler was afterwards
released through the interference Of friends
on condition that he would leave the country.
The Prussian Consul at Cincinnati, Mr.
Stanislaus, has also received intelligence
from his government, that revolutionary
movements are being made by the Germans
i'm America, and that the Prussian government
received their information through DR.. ]. of
Cincinnati.
DR.. Junghaus was charged with the above
which he did not deny, and confessed that he
was no Republican, in the American and Eu-
ropean sense of the word, but was Monar-
chist. Numerous persons. who knew the
Doctor i'm Germany, identified him as the
same person above referred to. In the meet
ing last night, the statements charging him
with the conspiracy were reiterated by nu-
merous persons; in short that he was spy
for the Prussian Government in this city.
The meeting at Freeman's Hall resolved
on burning effigy of the reputed spy, and
some thousand persons marched in process
sion to Fifth street Market Space, where ad-
dresses were delivered by Messrs. Rothacker
and Thielman when the procession resumed
their march to Canal Market Space, where
after another speech in English and German,
by the chairman, Rothacker, an effiyy of
DR.. Junghaus, was publicly burnt, amidst the
Kisses of the people and the clang of discor-
dant music.-[ Gin. Gaz. IAN.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the same
date, says:
HAVE THE GERMANS SpY AMONG THEM
The German population of this city are
of the most part convinced that DIR. Jung
haus, who was once connected with the Prus-
sian army, is the identical individual who de-
nounced German patriot named Fickler,
to the king of Wurtemberg and had him ar
rested, curing the revolutionary movement Of
lS4S and lS49. 1t is said that Fickler went
from Baden to the city of Stuttgardt with
money to bride the royal troops to join in the
revolution, and that this DR.. Junghaus, learn
ing the fact fastened to Stuttgardt, procured
an audience with the king by having Fickler
arrested, to do the republican cause an IRE.
parable injury.
Junghaus denies having done SO, but is an
avowed aristocrat, sneers at the American
people and democracy, and tells the Germans
they must go back to Europe and learn les
sons of the Kings.
Fickler has recently published a long let
ter, in German paper in New York attack
ing DIR. Junghaus, aud several men now in
this city profess to identify Junghaus, with
the enemy of .republcanism in Europe. 49,
The sturdy, democratic Germans are highly
incensed. and are resolved that the obnoxious
Doctor shall at once leave the city. Some
propose to lynch him and others would be
content to burn him in effigy. He has writ
ten to Germany to get proof OF his limo.
cence of the acts charged against him, and
the Germans think that he could get any re-
ply he pleased from the despots, and are not
willing to wait until he receives communica-
tons. 1t is thought by few that the power
ty in which he lives is evidence that he is an
honest man, but he seems to have no friends
here. An immense indignation meeting of
Germans was held last night, at the corner of
Vine and Mercer streets. A number of
speeches vehemently denouncing DR.. Jung
haus, were made i'm tie German language,
and intense feeling appeared to exist on the
subject.
The direct charge made against Junghaus,
is that he is an emissary of the King of Wur-
temberg (who said to have conferred an order
upon him for his services,) kept here to watch
a nd report the movements of American Ger
mans, r lative to their republican brethren in
Europe. 1t looks improbable, but may not
be without foundation.
