ton wholly with the view of securing the SER
vices CT those they deemed the best workmen.
by the by, it is really amusing to see such
appeals mnde to the public in behalf of men
who have taken on themselves the obligations
Of Know Nothingism to hunt out of employ
ment all wherever born, and of whatever re-
Ggion, who do not act with 81 the Order in
politics.
Our only wonder is that the Government
still continues to have the patience necessary
u enable them to persevere in their evident
policy Of making no distinction among the me-
chanics employed in their respective trades
ualer Thorn, so far as their politics are con-
cerned, so long as they (the mechanics) may
SO conduct themselves about political affairs,
as not to interfere with the necessary dis
cpline Of the yard, or with the rights and COM
fort Of their brother mechanics employed there
who differ from them politically. .-
We hear complaints frequently made of
Know Nothing master-workmen and foremen
in the yard, who are charged with favoring
Know Nothings under them in many ways,
and thus wronging the anti-Know Nothings.
We know not how far these complaints may be
just, though such glaring and wholesale mis-
representations of the truth as that in the
OEgan's local column yesterday, look much as
though simply designed to attract public at
ten;ion from the partizan political operations
Of the Know Nothing master workmen and
foremen in the discharge of their duties in the
yard.
Tho New York Times and Gov Resder's
Removal AS we have repeatedly stated
siace Governor Reeder's removal, we do not
design impeaching the motives with which he
entered into those speculations in lands which
were the real causes of the Presidents action
in Gov. RS case. But while we do not in
tend to do injustice to Gov. Reeder and his
friends, we; cannot be guilty of the wrong to-
wIrds the President Of failing to expose the
duplicity and mendaeity Of those who seek to
obscure, by falsehood, the real facts and his
tory of the transaction. e@t 4

1t is not known what provOcatiOn was given.
The brewery and djOining houses were sacked,
and the brewery set on FIRE and immediately
destroyed. Several Germans found here were
badly beaten, and an Irishman, who was shot
by the mob, died this morning.
On the next street below an American was
slightly wounded by pistol shot, and an Irish
man was shot and beaten. 1t is asserted that
shots had been fired from all the houses that
were attacked.
The moo threatened TO sack the Catholic
church, where it was rumored arms had been
concealed, but Mayor Barbee and others pre-
vailed upon the crowd to leave, without COM
uniting violence.
The mob then marched to the engine house
in the Fifth ward with their cannon, and the
rest having dispersed, all the difficulty was
supposed 10 be over. This, unfortunately,
proved To be mere luil in the storm.
While the above had transpired in the up
per part of the city, other occurrences were
going on in the lower part. On Main street
two Anne ricans were wounded by shots fired
from a house occupied by Irish, for which it
Is said there was 10 provOcation. An Irish
man who was charged with shooting Mr..
Rhodes, was Immediately hung in the street,
but cut down before he was dead. In this af-
fair thirty or forty shots were fred, and it is
impossible to ascertain the number killed and
wounded.
A row OF houses occupied by Irish, the own
er of which it was asserted had fired upon the
mob, was set on fire and totally destroyed

MOB AT LOUISVILLE disgracetul
mob Occurred at Louisville, on Saturday
last, on the occasion of a magistrates elect
ion. According to the Courier, it was
rumored in the first ward, where the Ger
mans have the majority, that through the
Sag -Nicht organization the Americans
were to be kept from the polls The Ger
mans, it seems, entertained the same opin-
ion of the X. Ms. And in this state of
doubt and jealousy, collisions took place.
which led to a general fight, in which
many innocent persons suffered on both
sides. The fereign population preponder-
ated in the first ward. Accordingly, the
latter attempted to both vote and fight,
conceding at the same time to foreigners
the like right as far as they could exercise
it. But this became wearlsome, and the
whole programme changed, lighting being
substituted for voting. This can never be
tolerated in free country. Voting is a
peaceful opperation, and one for which
American citizens should never be oblig-
ed to fight. tm

There was no young man in Indiana
whose prospects Of future eminent success
were more fiattering and sure. As law
yer he stood among the very first at the
bar, and battled successfully with the old

prehensiye understanding that enables him
to discriminate almost with the readiness
and accuracy of intuition. faculty thai
renders him successful in whatever he un'
dertakes. But the distinguishing charac'
teristic of our friend Connell. was his
|unbOunded generosity and goodness o
heart. Wherever be made an acqualnt
ance he made friend, and when once ht

him the most abundant success IN his new
