Look at Spain, look at Portugal, look at Mexi-

and see how she and they chate under every
form OF government, aud how in every one Of
them where there isa government, that govern

aud where there is no powerful standing army.
anarchy reigns in its most hideous forms; such
anarchy 40 one sees in Mexico and South Amer.

ATTEMPTED CONSTIPATION. A German
named Christian Fohlmeyer, was arrested yes
terday, and lodged in the Ninth street Station
house, upon charge of attempting to forcibly
dishonor the person Of a young girl, on Free
man street. From what we could learn of the
affair he went into the house in state of in
toxication, and seeing the girl, as he thought,
alone, threw her upon couch, which was In
tho room, and would, in all probability, have
accomplished his villainous purpose had not
her screams been overheard by her father, who
rushed into the room just in time to save his
daughters honor. Fohlmeyer is quite dissi-
patod in his habits, and was, no doubt, at the
time craIed by the effects of drunkenness fol-
it ia difficult to conceive how any one who il
sane could be guilty Of such an act. The case
will come before the Police Court this morning

burglarious individual made an attempt to
enter the residence of Mr.. John Il. Williams,
a printer, who resides at 24l Ninth street.
Mr.. W. was aroused by the noise, and the burg
lar decamped. About an hour afterward, the
residence of Mr.. Bell, within few doors Of
Mr.. Williams, was broken open and robbed Of
watch and lot of wearing apparel. 1t is
somewhat surprising that rogues should make
burgarious demonstrations upon printers
domicils, but such is the fact. Mr.. W. has
provided himself with "shooting stiok," and
if any enterprising parsonage should enter his
premises in the pursuit of q4oin (coin), he pro-
poses to lead him. .....

TROUBLE AMONG FEMALBs.--Yesterday Jus
tice John McFall had FIVE oases before his
court, in which females were more or less di-
rectly interested. One Of those was from the
Jones House, corner of Ninth and Sycamore
streets, in which all the chambermaids, cooks,
washers, ironors, bsrkeopors, clerks and pro-
prietors were summoned to testify to their
knowledge of the character of Miss Bridget
McCabe, who had charged q co-laborcr, named
Hannah Finnigan, with using language which
we will not repeat, but which was admirably
calculated to provoke breach of the peace.
The Justice, after a careful hearing of the evil
dence in the case, decided that Bridget had
been treated very badly by the tongue of the
aforesaid Hannah, and, therefore sentenced the
defendant to pay fine Of IS and costs, which
we do not doubt, will completely heal the
wounds inflicted upon the honor of the injured
party, and is, In all probability, a Just punish.
ment for very naughty act.

Reports Of the Committees !
INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS!

.
Pursuant TO adjournment, the members of
this association met at Workingmen's Hall
yesterday afternoon. The number in attend
ance was quite as largo as that of the day pre-
vious, and an increased interest seemed to be
manifested.
After the reading and approval of the min
utes Of the previous meeting, the Committee on
Investigation made tho following report:
Mitchell & Rammelsberg still stand out
In Duncans factory the hands have all quit
work. ..u
One Of the hands from the establishment Of
weiderich & Jones, reported on the black list
at previous meeting, had quit work, signed
the constitution of tho Union, and wanted to
do nothing but "cIean work" Received with
applause. ...... ....s...
Aaron Shaw thinks the Union is "foolipg
away its time" He will submit to all but
"Shop Committee"
| It was tho opinion of the Union that the
"tables were turned" that Mr.. Shaw was fool
ing away he time. If he wants to como ir
land they think he desires to do SOY, he mus
come up to the "scratoh." It was also re
ported that Mr.. Shaw had stated that b,
would pay of hiI hands to-day; that he woult
not do as Mitchell & Rammelsberg had done
This report was received with much enthu
siasm.
Mr.. Kramer asked further time to make u
his mind.
Mr.. steinman was reported as oro'o :fshing
Smith & Hawley same as yesterday.
Mr.. Knoblaugh thinks he is already paying
good prices. He was almost persuaded to sigl
the bill-mado several attempts, but failed
1t was thought that he would soon be "al
right"
Several speeches and suggestions were mad,
when the meeting adjourned to meet toe day q
two o'clock.

ARREST OF FUoITIvE SLAvE.-A fugitive
slave, named Mason Barbour, was arrested on
Thursday, about eight miles from Columbus,
by Deputy U. 8. Marshal Jacob X. Lowe, who
brought him to Cincinnati yesterday, and, hav-
ing perfected the necessary papers, accom-
panied him into Kentucky, where the human
ehattel was delivered up to the authorities in
due form and process of law. The prisoner
was about forty five years old, and is owned by
L Virginia planter named Absalom Ridgely,
who lives within twenty miles of Wheeling,
from whom Barbour escaped on or about the
10th July, 1855. Wonder the fellow did not
follow the leading of the North Star.

between Western row and Plum street, yester-
day had q warrant Issued for a rosy-faced and
somewhat delicate girl Of seventeen, named
Mary RinOn, who he said had attempted 40
provoke breach Of the peace. From the evil
dence II appeared that the girl had takon q
coGeO-pot TO him to be mended, for which she
was to pay twenty-five cents, and that he had
gone into the store in which she was engaged,
while it was full of customers, and, in very
abrupt and ungentlemanly manner, demanded
payment for his work before it had been com
ploted. This annoyed her exceedingly, and as
she paid him she said he was loafer, and that
she hoped she would never be troubled by him
again. Upon this ground ho brought the
charge, which the Justice very justly dismissed
at his cost,
