The Events in Keokuk County.
We copy The following account of the
troubles at South Engfsh, from the Ken-i
kuk County News:

men to fire.
Some thirty or forty shots were then
exchanged, resulting % We have stated.
Sheriff Adams went ont and arrested ten
or twelve Of the cltasns in Sonth English,
supposed to be concerned in the shooting.
They were taken before Justice and
waving an examination were held 20 bail
in the sum of ons thousaud dollars each,
To answer to the DISTRICT Court. Threats
to burn South English and take summa-
ry vengeance on these concerned in the
shooting, shortly after placed several hun
dred men in arms for the protection of
The place. Large bodies OF armed men
are also in camp near this place and South
English, demanding an immediate inves-
tlgation, and what more we cannot exact
y say. So far as We can learn, the citi-
Gems Of Slulh English and also Of Sigour-
ney, are in favor af a full aud fair lnvss-
tigation of the whole affair that the Of.
tenders may have justice and the panish-
ment due to crime.
During Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, the county was in feverish state of
excitement. The friends of Mr.. Talley
sent deputation into Sigourney, de-
manoing that the South English party
should be instantly given up, and threat
ening summary vengence unless their de-
MAIDS we're complied with. They claim
ed that they had over three thousand
men, armed and organized, prepared 70
execute their threats. These oyertures
and threats ware met. from the ftst on
the part Of the citizens. by assurances
that the Law should have its full course.
We are happy To- be able to state 70 our
readers that Gov. Kirkwood is now IN the
county, with sufficienil force to COM
pei obedience to the law, aud thst he il
determined to SO treat this affair, that il
will not be repeated in Iowa during his
term ofOthce, q least.
The mob in a great measure dispersed
on Wednesday, few hours before the
Governors forces reached the county
and we may. safely say that the, end OF
mob law has been reached in our county.
The laws viii be enforced, the guilty
punished and order and quiet restored
A sufficient force will remain in the coun.
~ to see that NO obstacle is placed in tho
way Of the officers of the law.

county for safe keeping.

with the Republicans in their efforts L
restore order. <.
