The Gazette yesterday resortcd to its
old trick of manufacturing correspon-
dence to support its own assertions
We apprehend that it is throwing time
and type away to attempt to make the
public believe that Rusch is not a dis
grace to the Senate, and the county
which made him member of that
body. The editors of the Gazette NAV
waste reams of paper in writing letters
to themselves eulogizing their model
legislator, but they cannot conceal the
fact that he does nothing, has done
nothing and can do nothing for the
people who sent him to Des Moines
A prominent republican of this city,
whose opinion all would receive with
respect, recently assured us that after
spending some weeks in attendance on
the Legislature, he had come to the
conclusion that if he were interested in
any measure at Des Moines he would
- lief place it in the hands of ten
year old boy as in the hands of Sena-
tor Rusch. He spoke understanding
ly. We regret to speak harshly of any
Of our representatives, but it is an un-
deniable fact, that Rusch is the butt Of
tie Senate. He is fastened to us un.
fortunately for four years longer, and
for that length Of time Scott county
will be virtually without representa-
tive in the Senate. Unless we make
some Improvement on our present del
egation in the House, we will continue
unrepresented in both branches of the
Legislature.

They next proceeded to Lindsey's
on the other side of the street near the

They emptied a few bottles, which,
however, it is said contained nothing
but water.
They returned up the street, and
halted at the American House, the

most riotous assemblage that ever got
within the house. Demanding admit
lance to the cellar, which was refused
the demonstration became Formidable.
Major Wetmore, one of the mag
trates, In pursuance of the statute,
made proclamation in the hearing OF
the offenders, commanding them in
the name Of the State of Ohio to dis
perse and depart to their several homes
or lawful employments." The lnsur-
gent spirit was too high to be suppress
ed in this way, but an armstice was at
length brought about, the landlord
pledging his honor to sell no intoxica-
ting liquors to the people Of the town.
Heath's drug store was next visited:
they found the doors FAST preparations
were made within, we learn, to employ
various chemical compounds not com
monty used in warfare, if the place
had been carried by assault. But on
receiving an assurance similar to that
given at the Hotel, the besiegers with
drew.
The whole Of these successive move
ments occupupied about three hours.
During this time, the exciten Q 1t was
excessive. The only formdiab resist
ance was made by champion of the
garrisons, who caught his hatfall OF
whisky as it flowed from bung hole,
and threw it upon the assaillng force ;
fire which created great confusion in
the columns for moment, but they
closed up and advanced in good order.
The names of the leaders of the force
as given us, are Of high responsibility
They prudently kept their own coun-
sells, their husbands even, not having
the plan and time of assault contided

The Alton TraGadY.


The Alton Courier gives the following
additional particulars connected with the
tragedy in the penitsntiary:
That Hall had confederates, he admits,
but the number or extent Of the participa-
ton previous TO the daring attempts OF
Hall, has not yet been ascertained. rigld
investigation will be made the results OF
which We will lay before our readers.
Upon the consicts. the moral effect OF
this defeated attempt Of Halls must be OF
the most salutary description. They now
see that not to save the life Of an innoee nj
and worthy man would the discipline ofthe
prison be violated, and will restrain the
most violent from any attempt of the kind
in future. Had Halls demand been
complied with, every convict in the prison
would have been deyi-ing some heme to
obtain his liberty, probably ending in a
general revolt, and the death OF several in
noceut men and guilty ones. The lesson j;
important, and will doubtless be duly i'm
pressed.
The taking or killing Of a single man
however powerful and well armed, look
like an easy task, but when t is recollected
that every movement had 10 be u. ade as
if possible, to save the life Of Crabb, the
case was one, ofusual difficulty. The plans
OF the Warden and Superintendent were
well conceived and carried out with a;
much promptne.s and decision "a was pos.
sble. Every possible regard was had tc
the safety Of Crab, and that anxious regarsi
was alone the cause of the ay. The calm
collected and determined manner Of Col
"a \. Il Esll
developed on this occasion Dir. Rutherford
the Superintendent, was constantly present
and showed that he was equal to any einer
gency which might call his nerve into re-
QUESTION.
The Springfield correspondent of the st
Louis Republican makes the following state
rnent upon the authority of Col. Buckmast
er:
1t has been generally understood that
Crabb was bound all the while the fraca.
going on, but this is a mistake he was not
bound in any way at the time he was lib
Grated Before Lindsey opened the door to
get the pitcher of coffee, he ordered Crabi
to the back part Of the cell and told him
not TO move. Now, in the corner Of the
cell, just where Crabb stood when ordered
back by Lindsey, stood a club sufficiently
large to have Knocked any man down with
Why Crabb did not seize this stick, and use
it on Lindsey, when he stopped down to get
the pitcher and why he did not not use i,
to fight his way out. when called upon by
Buckmaster is very strange. The only
way we can account for it is, that Lindse !
had got complete control over Crabb. Thi;
will seem the more singular when it j,
known that Crabb is large man, and Lind
sey is very small one, weighing, it is stat
ed, about one hundred and ten pounds
only.
Lindsey says he wishes to live TO kill
Buckmaster, and when he has done that, he
is ready for any consequences.
