A Lively Scene In New Orleans.
How A A YOUNG MAN WAS MoBBED FOR SELLING
PORTRAITS OF MIR. LINCOLN.
From tho New Orleans Picayune.l
Mr. RyoAck, a native of Austrin. no
naturalized, has been trading in this cit,
ior the past three years, importing necI
ties aud kid gloves. He generally re-.
ma'ned here during the six months of tbr
business season, and during the summer
4 would go to the North or TO Europe IA
make his purchases. About a year ago he
made arrangements with Mr. w. Goldth-
waite: bookseller, on Royal street. near
the postoffice, to place show case in front
OF his store, and there to dispose of his
/ goods, which at night were taken into
the bookstore.
Last summer, when he went North, Mr..
Rybnck left the balance Of his stock un.
der the charge of Mr.. John Stanb, clerk
OF Nlr. Goldthwaite, n native of this citv,
ABOUT seventeen or eighteen years old, we
believe, whose family is personally known
to u.s. Young Staub having as much ns
he conld do to attend the bookstore, made
arrangements with young friend of his
to mind the show case When the polit-
lc"l campaign began, pretty dagucrreotvpe
meualS OF the candidales were sent out
hefe' and sold very rapidly. The two
young men thought they would try a lit
lie speculation, and they bought a small
stock of medals, which they sold speedily,
the place being SO frequented, and they
Donght another stock. These purchases
were made from wholesale establishment

z9th UT, andresnmed his business, allow

OF their medals.

medals were some faithful representations

one OF these and made some remark about

ed about among the crowd that generally
throng that neigh6orhood. Young Staub
came out before the door, and was talking
to some gentlemen, explaining the proba-
BILE way the Lincoln medals had got there;
when from among II crowd of five or six
men who had collected around him, he w;is
violently struck by an individual who
called him - abolitionist, and who at
the same time smashed the glass of the
show case. The young man, unable to
compete with superior force, fled, and
Was pursued through the Postoffice Alley,
where he was again struck. We saw him
last night and his face bore marks of vio-
lence that certainly ought never to have
been used towards a youth of his rge.-
He managed to escape from his AssailNnts
and took shelter in some establishment in
the neighborhood.
Meanwhile, the crowd, now increased
considerably, collected in front of Mr..
| Goldthwaite's store and began to search
the show case for Lrcoln medals. Atthis
| juncture, Mr.. Ryhnck, who had been to
dinner and was returning to the store,
came up, wondering what was the matter.
AS he penetrated the dense crowd aud
saw the show case out of its place, and Mr..
Goldthwaite at the door talking to the cx-
cited crowd, he naturally inquired what is
the matter, "Mr. Goldthwaite where are my
goOds?" thus proclaiming himself the own
er of the show case. The cries of "Here
he is! that's the fellow! catch the a5oli.
tionistv' greeted this innocent declaration
and lie found himself surrounded, threat,
eued and unable to explain himself. Fear
ing violence, he retrented iuto their store
and Mr.. Goldthwaite closed the from
doors, bnt finding that some of the mos
excited were trying to get in over the par
tition in the rear, through the Sazerac al

Two gentlemen undertook to protect
Mr.. Ryback. and to accompany him tC
the Police office where they advised him
to go. But arrived at the corner of Gus,
tom -housc street, they left him. Th
crowd that had followed now pressed mp
on him, and seized with terror, he started
running and passed through Exchange al
ley, closely pursued; he turned up Cont
street and took refuge in the confectionery
of d. Lopez on the corner of Cont anr
Chartres streets.
The crowd soon surrounded and invaded
this establishment, aud some unhappy re
suit might have been caused by the pre-
vailing excitement, when special Office
Boullosa, who happened to be coming u
Chartrcs street, rushed in, iuquiring wha
