SEVEN MEN SHOT.

CL Elm WI Elm Oi1Ols
Three supposed to be mortally injured
Yesterday, news was brought to this
city that Capt. Henry Brown, of the Ca
nal Boat Flying Cloud, had fray
with some Irishmen at Ottawa, which re-
suited IN shooting of seven men it is
supposed that three were mortally woun-
ded. The occurrence happened, we
learn, in the following manner:
Capt. Browns boat was locked at La
Sale, when an Irishman came on board
seeing little dog, which was pet of
the Captains on deck, for some reason
or other kicked it off the boat into the
water. The Captain was below at the
time, and when he came on deck asked
who kicked the dog into the water
Upon being pointed out the man, he OBJ
served that for two cents he would serve
him as he (the many had the dog. AT
this the Irishman took two cents from
his pocket and dared the Captain to put
his threat into execution. The Captain
then knocked the Irishman do wn, it is
said three different times, and was on the
point of throwing him into the Canal,
when the bystanders interfered and sep
arated them. The Captain soon after
started for Chicago with the boat.
| In mean time number of lrishmen,
81 in all, we see it stated, started after
the boat in wagons and succeeded in O.
vertaking him at Ottawa. Here the Cap
tain went ashore accompanied by one Of
his crew, for team, and was soon over
took by the Irishmen in body. The
man with Capt. Brown discharged re-
volver at the crowd, which took effect
wounded one man, and then retreated
leaving the Captain alone. Finding his
life in danger and no hope of escaping,
Captain B. discharged his revolver SIX
times, every discharge taken effect on his
ASSISTANTS, six of whom were shot, ex-
elusive of the man shot by his compan.
ion, making seven in ALL Chicago Dem

Archbishop Hughes and Gen. Cass. -
New York papers Of Friday contain the
reply of Archbishop Hughes to Gen.
Cass' able speech on religious freedom.
1t is elaborate, exceedingly acute, and
will, by his friends, be considered very
powerful argument. Hughes is a Cal
houn in logic, and Gen Cass' rejoinder
will be looked for with special interest.
There is one thing pretty certain--that
Gen. Cass viii not again receive the
support of those whom Archbishop
Hughes can influence. But his profound
courtesy to Gen. Cass. shows that be

AN IMPORTANT CAsE.-A case oil
school discipline was tried yesterday be-
fore Justice Seymour. The case was a
complaint against young lady whoteach-
es district school in the town of Oregon,
for severely whipping one of her scholars
"a boy Is or Is years old. The ev Is
dence was ample that he was not only a
mischievous but malicious boy that he
had tried her patience long by repeated
breaches not only of order but of decen-
lcy. She at length inflicted on him Sc
we're personal chastisement, with the as
Isistance or rather under protection of
her father, who was presant to see that
the boy did not get the upper hand of the
mistress, as he made a violent and near :
ly successful effort to do. The boy s
back was severely welted, the flesh ly-
ling in purple ridges all up and down it.
The case was fully heard and the verdict
of the jury was in effect "served him
right" We give one of the items of the
boys testimony,the wit of which atoned
for its rudeness. He asked her to ssdo a
sum for him"-which was to subtract 8
from %. One of the counsel asked him
if he could not do it without her assist
ance.
s'Boy-I might but the arithmetic said |
dn'tsubract 9 from without borrow
ing 10, and l didn't know where in HI
to borrow it.''
Upon acquitting the young lady the
jury walked up, took her hand and COM
plimented her decision add daring. -

1.-THE mission of Democracy is but
half accomplished. Its present triumul h
are but prelude to those that are to
come. The future is full of hope. No
temporary issues should lead US astray
from the great objects in view, the great
Igood to be accomplished, the rights to
be vindicted, the establishment of popu-
lar freedom, the immunity Of rights to
suffering colonies, the triumph Of civil
ization, of education, of self government
in islands and continents, which are
now the victims of depositis'n and wrong.
For these we will labor but wait only
till ripening events shall prepare the
way. : Madison Argus.
The above is the closing portion Of
an article acqniescing in, and not only
acqui escing in, but exulting over the
consummation of the Nebraska peridy.
Its tone is significant, and indicative of
what we may expect from the onward
course of that progressive" Democracy
which has now taken its first great stride
in securing the passage Of the Nebraska
Bill. Its present triumphs we are told, ARE
but the prelude to those that are to come.
And what are these present triumphs !?
We answer precedent has been es-
tablished by which all the most sacred
obligations and compats can be disr egar-
ded and trampled upon with impunity.
A precedent has been set, by which the
representatives Of people can utterly
disregard the will of that people.
These are the triumphs, this is the
mission of Democracy, which is but half
accomplished IF THIS is but the prelude
what may we not expect when the grand
chorus of triumph shall resound through
out the world p Beloit Journal.
