The Higher Law in Ohio.

We published recently notice Of tic
attempted arrest of two fugitive slaves in
the town Of iberia, Ohio, and the outra,
gosus treatment of the Deputy MarshalS
entrusted with the duty. The Cincinnati
Enquirer of Monday week gives US the fol.
loving particulars OF the outrage.
About four months ago three slaves,
brothers, escaped from Messrs. Reed &
Pollock, near ermRntown, Ky. 1t wa,
subsequently ascertained that they had
located near Iberia, Morrow county, Ohio,
and warrants were issued for their arrest
and placed in the hands of the United
States Marshal for the Southern District.
On Thursday the Marshal proceeded to
the locality, accompanied by two deputies.
and some eight or ten men, and the lie.
groes having separated, the posse divided
into three parties the Marshal giving full
instructions to his deputies, who were
men of nerve and their assistants how to
proceed.
Between seven and ei -ht o'clock in the
evening the Marshal himself seized the
negro for whom he had retained the war
rant, and after "a walk of fourteen miles
placed him on board freight train, and
succeeded in reaching this city. An ex.
animation was had before Commissioner
Newhall, and his conuition being satisfac-
torly established, and the fact of hls es,
cape being proven, he was remnnded to
the custody OF his former master, and IA,

But the deputies were not as successful

curing their man, and one of them WAS

crowd of negroes and white men, to the
number of Sky or seventy, part of whom
were armed with guns and pistols. The
negro was liberated, ard the person
of the deputy secured by the assail
ants. His clothes were nearly torn off.
and, amidst shouts and oaths, he vas ben

said, "as they treated slaves at the South 4"
The warrant and all his money we're ia,
ken from him, and the mob endeavored
to hang him, but failed 10 do so. They
then extended his arms and placed him as
a mark for the bullets of those armed with
guns. The deputy begged them to shoot
him, rather than torture him as they had
done. Those who we're drawn up, when
the word was given make ready-take e
aim''-but before the word fire" was
given, some one of the mob rushed in and
begged them not to fire. Tho guns were
dropped, and the deputy was liberated
from his uncomfortable position.

pain already inflicted, knife was sent
for, and the hair of The officer was clipped
close to his scalp, and he was then turned

Choato's Goodness.

At the time Of Mr.. Choate's great speech
for Buchanan in Lowell, Mass, there was
a sudden settling of the hall where they
were. A Lowell gentleman, Hon. Ben
iamn f. Butler, well known as a lawyer
and politician, volunteered to go out and
examine the supporters underneath. He
did so, and to his sorrow, he found them in
such state that il there should be the
least rush of the addieuce, they would in
eVitably give way, the roof and floor, would
go together, and all would be involved in
d common ruin With great fortitude he
went quickly back, end TO prove there
was no danger, walked the whole length
of the crowded hall up to the platform
where the speakers aud president were
As he passed Mr.. Choate leaned down anC
asked him il he found danger! The gen
tleman, keeping his face perfectly unmoV
ed SO as not to frighten others, whispered
into Choate's ear with characteristic ab-
rnptness, "If we can't get this crowd out
quietly; we shall all be in h---ll in five min
utes." As might have been expected from
so blunt aud terrible communication, Mr.
Choate's face became ashy pale. but he
controlled himself aud sat perfectly STEADY.
The gentleman mounted the stage, assured
the neople there was no real danger, but
to guard against the mere possibility OF
danger, he advised them 10 withdraw quiet.

Dreadful as had been the moments

did not desert him; for as he stepped from
the hall himself, he said to his friend who
made the announcement to him "And
