The mob madness which took place
a while ago in Detroit has given rise 10
q good many newspaper paragraphs and
some Of those paragraphs come out
pretty severe on mobs and mob law
as they should, and seem to intimate
that any countryis in doplorable, down
sliding condition, when mobs and mob
bcrs rnle the hour, and the arm Of law
is powerlcss to suppress the frantic
phrenzy always attendant on their wild
doings. All this is true no doubt, and
yet there is a kind Of philosophy in
mobs and to study that philosophy care
fully might be Of some use in pre-
venting their occurrence, In the first
place, mobbipg and riots seldom take
place to any magnitude in any country,
or in any place Where the government
is as It ought to be, having good salutary
laws and those laws sternly inforced. =
Secondly, mobbing and riot;ng take
place the oftenest and do most mischief
when they do take place in countries
and sections Of countries where the laws
are miserable, or, if good, are miserably
executed. From the days Of Cain, who
murdered his brother by mob law, down
to the present, mobbery and rioting have
been most frequent and most violent,
where the laws are miserable, or when
they who should see to their inforce-
ment are a craver and cowardly set.
Pretty much all the mobbing and rioting
that have amounted to any thing serious
in the world has arisen from one or
both of these causes. When there are
good laws sternly inforced, rowdy riot
ism is scarce, but where laws are mean,
mobism, wild riotism may be looked for.
Every effect has its cause.
The people of Detroit in the State Of
Michigan have been thrown into CON
sternation by a ferocious mob, that mob,
like all mobs are apt to be, was wreck
less and ferocious, lives were sacrificed
and prosperity destroyed by its fury,
and many innocent, peaceable citizens
plundered and manned by its ruthless
ness. How is this Either the laws they
have 10 be governed by Detroit, are
too weak and ridiculous to control the
recklessness Of rowdism or the officers
who are appointed to enforce the laws
are inefficient, or mixture of both
these may be the cause; either will do
it. Laws, TO command respect, must be
stern, and strong, and adapted officers
of the law. to command respect and

in itself ever SO good, will be trampled
upon, and feand property left at themer-

The disposition Of law makers in
Michigan and elsewhere has been to

offence is read cut Of the calender rape

Whatever objections there may be to
that law, when executed to its letter, it

Horrible Murder.

A terrible murder was committed it the town
of Medina on Wednesday night of last week.
The Cleveland Leader gives the following par
ticulars of the tragedy, gathered from Deputy
Sheriff Whitney, of Cuyahoga county, who
had made trip to Medina for the purpose of
investigating the affair:
Mr.. Shubel Coy was a cattle drover, resi-
ding in thickly populated portion of Medi-
ma village. He was about forty years of age,
greatly regarded by all who knew him, for his
sterling qualities of head and heart On Tues.
day last he was in Cleveland and got quite a
sum of money from bank with which to buy
CATTLE On Wednesday night at 10 o'clock he
was seen in Medina, by friend to have 81 200.
About half past three o'clock Thursday
morning young man who was going to
his work saw that Coy's house was on fire.
He raised the alarm, and neighbors coming to
the rescue proceeded to throw water upon the
flames which had not acquired much headway.
Some one exclaimed, "Where is the family ?"
and then the men rushed into the house to res
cue them. A terrible scene met their view,
Mr.. Coy his wife and child being found MUIR
dered. The fire originated in their bed room,
and somewhat burned the bodies of Mr.. and
Mrs Coy. The bed was also on fire. Mr..
Coy was found on the bed. Mrs G. was dis
covered lying in a distorted position on the
floor at the foot of the bed, having doubtless
struggled tearfully with her murderer.
The child who was a boy seven years old,
was found in the same bed, his throat being
cut The bodies were at once removed. Mr..
Coy had nine stabs in his throat aud breast,
any one of them capable of producing DEATH
Mrs. Coy's throat was cut, and she had twen-
ty-four cuts on her head and body as with a
large slashing knife. Pieces of the knife were
found in the wounds in her skull. She evi-
dentally resisted her fate iearfully. The boy
had but one cut.
| Mr.. Coy always slept with his money under
his head The robber would not have harm
ed him, probably had he not awakened, when
the murderous knife, held in preparation, de-
scended into his throat. He seemed to have
died almost without a struggle. There were
evidently two engaged in the deed, as the
marks OF two pairs of bloody hands have been
discovered on fence in the rear of the house,
where the murderers got over.
| A woman residing near Coy's house heard
two men getting over the fence about the time
OF the occurrence. No outcry whatever was
heard from the house. The package in which
was the money, was found near the house; it
was not bloody.
Until the excitement with regard to the al-
fair subsidies somewhat. there can be no thor
ough investigation. A reward of 81 900 has
been offered for the detection of the murder
er. There is no clue to them yet.

FIDELITY.

Never forsake one you esteem as a friend
When enemies gather round-when sickness
falls upon the heart-when the world is dark
and cheerless-is the time TO try true friend
ship. The heart that has been touched with
true gold will redouble its efforts when the
friend is sad in trouble Adversely tries real
friendship. They who run from the scene Of
distress betray their hypocrisy, prove that in
terest only moves them. If you have friend
who loves you-who has studied your inter
est and happiness-be sure to sustain him in
adversity. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated, and his own love was not
thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare, but
it exists in the heart. Who has not seen and
felt its power? They only deny its worth and
power, who have never loved friend or labor
ed to make friend happy. The good and
the kind-the affectionate and the virtuous-
see and feel the heavenly principle. They
would sacrifice wealth and honor to promote
the happiness of others, and in return they
receive the reward of their love by sympathi-
zing hearts and countless favors when they
have been brought low by any disease or ca
lamity.

A Sad Exemplifeation.

Our citizens had, yesterday, exemplifeation
on our streets of the significance of that term
-"poor white trash"-as applied to the pri-
Yates in the ranks of the rebellion, a 5ody oil
some sixteen hundred captured by Ger Graat
having arrived here TO be eHbarl=s5 Gsr ems
other point Let it be noted that the term
''poor white trash originated in Dixie ITSELF
and is therefore as much a coinage to be ac-
credited to the Hammond Rhett school as that
other offensive term, "mudsills,' - which they al
SO have the credit of having set afOat
But, who, that glanced along the ranks Of
this woefully ragged and pinched assortment
Of rebel troops-this characteristic representa-
tion of the ''chivalry" come to grief-and did
not feel and know that they were no more ac'
countable or responsible for the origin and
continuance of a Goddess rebellion than were
the horses they may have bestrode while in the
military service of the magnates at Richmond.
Countenances utterly vacant; eyes lighted by
nolintelligence; no education; no anything that
stamps men as thinking, responsible human
beings in a crisis such as that gotten up by
the Southern politicians, they were seen to be,
at glance, as only the tools in the hands of
designing men to pull down Government de-
pending on the intelligence of the people, for
the purpose of erecting a military despotism,
such as now holds them il its iron grasp, upon
the ruins. Incapable of reading or writing
even, as the balk of them in this case-being
from Mississippi they were of that class
mentioned by Gregg, of South Carolina, as
measureably nuisance to planters ard their
negroes-a class of which South Carolina
could boast the possession of about one hun
dred and fifty thousand before the war COM
meneed, out of a white population of about
three hundred thousand.
Looking upon the woe-begone and misera-
BILE procession of the captured, the idea was
more than ever strongly impressed upon the
thoughtful mind, that the South must be res
cued from ITSELF These men were the victims
of their leaders, the tools of politicians; and
the class to which they belong in the South
will never know freedom more until the pow
er Of their tyrants is efectually broken. Let
it nerve anew every arm TO deal effective blows
in their behalf, in behalf of that system of free
Government they are made to assail. Only
when the slave oligarchy is overthrown, will
these men cease to be their victims -Balti-

Not a Man Nor a Dollar. ,

Let all Democratic professions have painted
up their Valandigham banners during the
coming campaign, the words, s'Not man nor
a dollar for the Army or Navy" They are
the words of their leader-the man whom they
have placed at the head of their ticket as their
choice for Governor. In his speech at the
Cooper institution, New York, on the 2Oth
of September, 1862, he said-"If any one OF
more Of the States of this Union should, at
any time, secede-f for reasons of the sufficiency
and justice of which before God and the tribu-
nal of History, they alone may judge-much
as I should deplore it, [ never would, as a Rep
tentative in the Congress of the United States
vote one dollar of money, whereby one drop OF
American blood should be shed in a civil war !"
And in a subsequent published card he says:
Il now deliberately repeat and re-afirm it,
(the above) resolve, though I stand alone
though all others yield and fall away, to make
it good to the last moment of my life."
This is the man whom the patriotic and SOL
6ier-loving Democracy would place in posi-
ton from which he could have command and
control ofthe Buckeye volunteers. He boasts
that he never voted to pay them cent of all
their hard earned wages, and yet the Democ-
racy would make him Governor, in which po-
sition, if he lived up to his professions, he
might prevent many q poor widow or depen
dent mother from receiving the scsnty means
of keeping body and soul together from the
soldier prop of the family. No wonder the
soldiers abhor him and the wives and mothers
of soldiers despise him.
