MOB LAW IN MILWAUKEE,.
From the Milwaukee News Of Sunday.
Terrible Stabbing Afray---Two Con.
trabands" Gagged

On Friday evening, about o'clock,
while two young ladies We're passing along
near the corner of Michigan and Miwau
kee streets, couple of negroes brushed
up against them with the intention of in
sulting them. just at the time, Darby
Carney, and another Irishman, named
John Brady, were Oh the sidewalk near to
where the insult was given to the girls,
and witnessed the conduct of the negroes.
They demonstrated with them and showed
a disposition to take the part Of the girls.
The negroes were saucy and answered
back, remarking. 1--WE know you, Darby
Carney;" and 1--WE are as good as any
id Irisbman, or any Yankee either p
and other abusive remarks.
A few words passed between them in
that way, when the negroes stabbed Car
ney, little above the abdomen, cutting a
fearful cash, and also stabbed Brady on
one of his shoulders, alsc cutting him very
badly. The assassins then ran up against
lamplighter, an Englishmau, named
John Ellis, who showed them away from
him, when they stabbed him also, cutting
a pretty bad wound in his breast They
then ran toward East Water street, and
quietly went over to see Dan Rice's show.
Carney lie in critical condition all night
but was alive last evening. Brady is from
Muskego, he was delirious all night from
the loss Of blood, but was more comfort
able last night. He and Ellis are badly
cut, but are not in a dangerous condition.
Yesterday morning early, the two dark
les, whose names are Marshal Clarke and
James Shelton, were arrested and taken
to Jail, where they will remain without an
examination until it is known whether
they actually committed a murder or not
We learn that since their arrest, they
have acknowledged their guilt, bat claim
to have been intoxicated at the time,
which may or may not be true.
The affair has created an intense excite
ment among the friends of the injured
men, and we should not be surprised to
learn that an attempt was made to rescue
the prisoners and bring them before Judge
Lynch's Court; but we hope and trust
that these friends of Carney and Brady
have too much respect for the law to take
it into their ewn hands. Keep quiet, gen
tlemen, the prisoners are safe, and if guilty
as charged, will be dealt With as they de-
serve.
LATEn.--Carney died at II o'clock on
Saturday night, and it seems bis friends
avenged his death in brutal and horrible
manner Ed. PILOT.

The SLAVE TRADE BY an arrival in
England from the west coast of Africa, We
learn the slave trade was still very brisk,
and in consequence legal trade dull. 1t
was anticipated that some of the factories
would have to close.
Capt. Bedingfeld, of the British service
had been in active cooperation with the
American squadron, and had taken two
vessels fitted for slaves in the Congo river,
also, Spanish schooner, the Jacinto.
The Wrangler had taken an American
bark, supposed to be the Adrennes, with
four hundred and ninety-fve slaves on
board. ..-
The notorious SLAYER Storm King had
come into Mango Grando with legal
cargo, american flag and papers.) but
hearing there were slaves to be had,
pitched her cargo overheard, shipped
large number of slaves, and got away
clear
The steamer General Miramon form
erly the Greenock) had shipped cargo at
Kasinda in four hours, using American,
Portuguese, and Spanish colors, to suit the
cruisers she happened to meet. Every
thing is done under the American flag,
until the slaves are actually on board, so
that two or three English cruisers have
very little chance to take prizes or check
the trade.

THos. G. FIrzGIBBoN.-Many of our
readers will remember THos. G. FITzGIB-
BON, formerly editor of the Detroit Guar
dian, from whose brilliant pen many an
article was copied into the Pilss. The fol-
lowing regarding him is from the Detroit
Free P,ees
+" Mr.. 7. c Fitzgibbcn, the last remain
ing democratic mail agent in this State,
has just been removed. All right, we
don't complain, but we refer to it IN order
to show that, while republicans are shout
iag' no party, they are pursuing with a
party viudictiveness never excelled the re-
moval of every democrat from office, and
yet are trying to throw upon the dem,
ocrats the odium of keeping up party dis.
tinctions. Out upon such base hypocrisy"
We see no room to doubt that it is the
purpose of the administration to remove all
democrats from civil office everywhere. 1t
is only rs common soldiers that democrats
are tolerable to the administration. As
food for powder they are accepted, very
graciously indeed. Mr. Fitzgibbon may
proceed to enlist without fear of repulse.

A Battle Hourly Expected.

Col. Forney writes from Washington to
the Philadelphia Press:
Without knowing anything more Of
military plans than you 90 in Philadel-
phia, and only judging from what see
and what hear, think battle is imme-
date and inevitable. I think it is imme-
date and inevitable because that traitor
flag which floats fiom Munson's Hill, and
within sight of the capital must fall back.
1t flies there perpetual menace TO the
people of this metropolis. Within range
Of the cannon shot of our Notifications,
within an hours march of Arlington
Heights, the centre of rebel camp, and
the type of great conspiracy, General
Mcclellan owes it to the country that it
shall be furled and never float again.
But there are other reasons which leave
this impression upon my mind, and which
may be more easily suggested than writ
ten. | think our army is up to highly
lighting point. | know that opr men are
eager for the fray, and we are now on the
threshold of the genial autumn months
which Nature seems to have given us for
grapes to grow and men to fight.
Our Notifications are large, numerous,
and well defended in all the means and
appliances of an army We are UNSURPASSED,
and the people, after the taste of Halter
as, are eager to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Is there any reason, then, why we may
not look for an Immediate advance!

Gen. Fremont's Energy.
An exchange publishes the following

An exchange publishes the following ar
ticle relative to Gen. FREMONT:
"Gen. Fremont telegraphed to Wash
ington, for powder, recently, and was in
formed that obstacles were in the way,
preventing its immediate shipment The
General replied that, "no matter what
obstacles were in the wav, the powder
must be shipped, and that without delay"
Col. SALoMoN tells another instance of
the energy and activity Of Gen. Fremont,
and the dupl;city of the Administration
When he arrived in St. Louis, and assn,
med command Of that position, he found
the army without money, clothing, or pro-
visions, and fast becoming demoralized.-
He Immediately despatched letter to the
Secretary Of War, demanding money for
the paymen; of troops. The reply was
government has no money" Fremont
then telegraphed back that he should have
The money, if he borrowed it on his own
responsibility, and pail % per cent inter-
est therefor. We believe sleepy CAMERoN,
on receiving this, opened his eyes and his
wallet at the same time, and forked over
the necessary amount. By his prompt and
decisive action, Gen. Fremont saved the
army in Missouri.

after blow upon his body. He was drag
ced by the rope over the cobble stones to
the corner of Buffalo street, where stands
a pile driving machine. Across the frame
work of this gallows the rope was thrown
and the wretch was jerked into the air.
The same degree of misfortune seemed to
attend him even in this extremity, for the
cord slipped out over his chin and into his
mouth, removing his death several degrees
Of agony further off, much to the appa.
rent satisfaction of those who surrounded
him.
The body hung an hour, when it was
cut down and taken to the police station,
where it laid all day yesterday, a CHASTITY
| sight for hundreds of citizens to feast
morbid curiosity upon.
Sunday morning, when the facts be.
came known, there was general excite.
ment. Crowds assembled about the Jail
and station house, and on the corners.
The prevailing sentiment among all clss-
ses seemed to be that the city had been
outraged by high handed murder.
On Sunday night, two military compa-
MES were stationed at the Jail, aud an
other was picketed around the neighbor-
hood, while cannon were planted in an
ostentatous manner on Jackson street,
though it was generally known through
out the city that the negro was not there,
and had not been taken. There was no
disturbance during the night, and to day
the excitement is all allayed.
The Sentinel of Tuesday says:
The negro Sheldon was arrested last
night, or early this morning, out near
Waukesha by men who were sent after
him. He resisted desperately but was
overcome and brought in, and is now con-
fined in the County Jail.
The County Court adjourned this morn
ing to allow the guard the use of thu
court room, and extensive preparations
are being made to defend the Jail from
any attempt of another mob.

is an uneasy sort of spirit in his editorial
capacity; and in this respect, is entirely
different from his personal character in

Of more pity than anger. His brethren

and SO severely, that we would like to re-

PEELED to act in self,defence. SroNE re-
minds us of a young uaelp, who is deter
mined to bark at all events, not knowing
whether the noise will disturb the passer-
by, or injure bis own lungs the most. A
half column of this sen.eless twaddle in
his last paper is devoted to the PILOT, and
we give the following extract as speci-
men of the whole article:
ave must stop here to say that the
number of the Pilot that takes us to task
contains more Union sentiment than has
graced its pages during the last two
months, altogether, prior to its date. Is
this the result of fear, of peni.ence, or of
new and justly conceived idea of the
wholesomeness Of the advice the Republi
can press occasionally gives it =
The course of the Pilot is not the result
Of " fear,' penitence,' or the hope of
reward. Its editor was educated to fear
no man or set Of men-to regard no
threats of malice on the one hand, or listen
to false fiattery on the other. The Pilot
will pursue just such course as we be-
lieve to be right-a plain, straight forward
path of honesty-rega rdless of other mems
notions, the holdings of papers like the
Republican at a distance, or the snarlings
Of larger and meaner dogs nearer home.
No, no, Mr.. Republican, we have lived
a freeman too long, and edited Demo
cratic paper through too many tempest,
uous storms, to be troubled with threats
of mob law now. That game has been
attempted to be played before, but with
result more shameful to its originators,
than of injury to u.s., Itnaay be attempted
agsin--fanatics and bigots have whispered
it-but we heed it not, and as long as We
have confidence in the rectitude of orr own
good intentions, and while we believe in
them, no threats or promises from any
source will dissuade us from sustaining
the principles of our early life.
The Republican, at the conclusion of its
article, says:
"The editor of the Pilot is safe against
any such imputation as tina. Of being an
'Abolitionist'.
We thank the editor for the above words
of truth, and give him credit for at least
little sign of "penitence." We are heart.
felt proud that no man can call us an
"Abolitionist," and we thank our Maker
that abolition sentiments were never

New York Democratic State Conven-

ton.
The Democrats of New York, in Con-
vention last week, nominated the follow
ing ticket for State Officers:
Secretary Of .State-R. FLOYD JONES.
Judge Of Court Of Appeals-GEo. J.
CoMsrocK.
Congratulations ScoTr.
Attorney General-LYMAs TREMAIS.
Treasurer-FRANcIs G. CoMsTocK.
Canal Commissioned. c. LORD.
This is a very strong ticket, and will
rally around it all the friends OF the Union
and Constitution in New York. The fol
lowing patriotic platform of principles was
also adopted:
Resolred, That the Democracy of this
State will sustain no war, nor countenance
any peace, tending to the separation of the
States; and that they will regard any at
tempt to pervert this conflict into a war
for the emancipation of the slaves, as fatal
to all the hopes of the restoration of toe
Union.
Resolped, Tha. it is the duty of the ad-
ministration, initiating the patriotic spirit
of the people, to abandon the narrow plat
form of the Chicago convention, which
stands condemned by the suffrages of
nearly two>thirds Of the people, and to
step forth upon the broad platform of the
constitution; to expel corrupt men from
office; to exclude from its councils the al
vocates of separation, and to reconstruct
its cabinet so as to conform to the condi.
ton of the country, and to command more
largely the public respect and confidence.
Resolred, That while we admit the ne
cessity of summary process of martial law
among insurgent populations, and within
the lines of military operations, we protest
against the doctrine, that any power, ex-
cept the representatives of the people, can
suspend the privileges of the writ of ha~
5eas corpus for civil offences: protest
against the assumption of the Executive
power to establish a system Of passports; ;
against the right of the Federal Govern
ment to organize systems of State policy !;
against the assumption of the Federal Ex
ecutive to refuse the discussions of free
press, by the refusal of mail facilities in
any way, except by the decision Of the civil
tribunals; and that finally, we protest
against the doctrine of President Lincoln's
message, that the States derive their au-
thority from the Federal Government, as
subversive Of the fundamental doctrine of
American Liberty.

in addition, an allowance Tor clothing of

if not expended, is paid in cash to the
soldier; and at the end of the war, 500
bounty in cash. No bounty land law has
