and place.
The way they do things in Ohio.
We have heen furnished by a friend
with the account Of an adventure Gen.
E. B. Tyler had with the Iron Bank Of
Ironton, about the LIST ultimo.
1t seems the General had some $4,000
in the notes Of that institution which he
wished to convert into more available
funds. Eve suppose. to expend in this
country. this winter. for furs and SKINS
and consequently called upon its officers
for eastern currency or the specie. They
very generously declared preference to
pay the coin, and commenced counting
out quarter-dollars, one at time. In the
mean time it was circulated about that q
broker was robbing the bank Of $50, 900
in specie, and mob gathered about,
headed by an operator for the Bank, who
attempted to brighten off the Gen. But
he has been in the woods of Western Vir-
GINA too often to be scared in that way.
and he boldly set them at defiance. The
mob then seized upon the officers Of the
Bank. to their great indignation, Of
course, and forced them out the back
way and over the fence, locking tho vault
and safe after them. The crowd, then,
by system called hustling," got the
Gen. out of the Bank, but, our correspon.
dent says. the persons composing it took
care to keep at respectful distance from
his indignant wrath. We will let our
correspondent tell the balance of the sto-
ny himself: "..
About o'clock the Bank officers
found the key to the outer door, and
learned that fact, he again went to the
Bank through the mob, and again de-
manded his money. The teller expressed
great anxiety about not being able to find
his vault keys, and said that as soon as
they were found he would count him out
his money-continually proclaiming his
entire innocence of the transaction
Things passed ON until about dusk, when
they learned that the Gen. had been in
formed Of the fact that continual corre-
spondence had been kept up between the
mob and the Bank officers up to the time
of the assault, through the coal hole in
the fence, and the better part Of the peo>
Pile began to denounce their conduct
The teller then went to him and proposed
to him to GO up to Ashland. KY, on the
first boat, and he would bring him the
coin early Monday morning-that he
should be able to find his keys as soon as
Gen. Tyler left. and he would attend to
that il everything beside failed. After
consulting with his friends, Gen. Tyler
consented to do so; but the Bank official
forfeited his contract, and has not been
seen since, although the Gen. spent the
following two days at Ironton. D..
The above are the main facts in the
case. 1t is Notifying to me to say such
things are done in Ohio; but while I am
compelled to acknowledge the fact,
have the consolation of knowing that il
was gotten up and led on by men who be-
long to party which justifes the stealing
of the personal property of those living in
in a neighboring State, while they will
head mob of loafers to prevent one o.
their own citizens from obtaining his just
and lawful dues. The man who led of
in this disgraceful outrage prides himself
on his adroitness in running off negroes
from Kentucky and Virginia; and the fact
OF his heading this outrage against Law
and order, showed his disregard for al
legal or moral obligation. The whole
thing was gotten up and put through by
the blacklist of Black Republicans, and
they deserve to be shown up by every
Democratic paper in the Union. These
men are now fawning around to keep il
from legal investigation. and are Law,
ishing upon Gen. Tyler thousands Of com
pliments for his determined courage. He
tells them that one Democrat can drive g
regiment of negro stealers like them
