MORE MOB LAW.

u'e'e, 'eu op ot CdPt. DaupeT, IooOeu the
Empire printing establishment ia Democrat
ic newspaper) at Dayton Ohio. Some of
the citizens interfered, and several soldiers
were killed and wounded in the affrsy. Capt.
Badger, the cewardly instigator, of the mob,
skedadelled out of harms way, as soon as
resistance WAS offered.
Remarking upon the outrage the Chicago
Times, of March 5th says:
Our dispatches of yesterday relating to the
mobbing Of the Dayton (Ohio) Empire by
soldiers, said the Provost Marshal refused to
assist in the arrest of the soldiers who com
mitted the outrag-. If this be true, it is the
duty of Democrats to mob him. As for Capt.
Badger, of the Forty-fourth Ohio, who led
the soldiers, and assumed the responsibility
Of the assault upon the office of the Empire,
if be be permitted to escape unpunshed we
hope there will be more Democrats mobbed
in Dayton. Let Democrats everywhere re-
member him-Capt. Badger, of the Forty
fourth Ohio If he escapes State Prison or
Iynching it will be a disgrace to the Demo,
cratic party of Ohio. lie must be made to
feel that his life is in danger until he is pun
ished lie may be an insignificant reptile,
but bis insgniticance should not protect him.
If the law refuses to punish him, the citizens
of Dayton should kill him. They should
shoot him as they would dog or wolf.
He is an outlaw if law does not punish him,
and should be treated "a one.
In referring to the outrages perpetraed
at Dayton, Ohio, and other places by Lin
coins officials, the weekly New York World
of March 1Olh says:
1t is very clear that this kind ofthing can
not go on very much longer without repri-
sal. Violence will be met by violence. If
the open crime of this Captain Badger is not
punished by the government, and the con-
senting provostmarshaI removed, Demo-
Gratis will know what to expect the next
time. and will act accordingly AS a par
ty, so far, they have a proud record Not.
wthstandng the mobbng Of their newspa-
pers, and the illegal arrests by the admins
tralion of some of their leaders, the rank and
| file oil the party have been careful TO obey
the laws and keep the peace, even under
crnel provocalions. We trust they will con
tinue to do at the West, and, instead Of
brute force, appeal to public opinion, which
will in time make amends for all theo now
suffer.
HoRRIBLE AccIDENr.-Yesterd on the
deep cut of the Pacific Railroad, near town,
some of the workmen under the supernten.
dence of Mr. Trowbridge, attempted to set
off blast containing about fifty pounds of
powder From some cause it failed, when
- H. D.,
and a Frenchman-commenc using
crowbar or drill upon the hole, when the
blast went off suddenly, mutila.ing them in
a horrible manner, especially the Portngese
who is not expected to recover but Mr.
Trobridge WILL with probably the loss of his
left eye. The Frenchman was cut in the
chin and his lip slit; he was less hurt than
either of the other two.
GoING Up.-The recent law of Congress-
authorizing Secretary Chase to issue gold
certificates on the U. S. Treasury, was inten-
ded to check the enormous and increasing
premium on gold, but it seems from late dis
patches that gold Is "irrepressible," and on
Thursday was quoted in New York at lSO-
the highest figure attained since green backs
have come in vogue. The San Francisco
Bulletin cautiously says: "The condition of
fiscal affairs at the East would seem to be
fast drawing to point of some interest"
REvnRNED HuMBUGs.-At the great Fair
recently given hy the ladies' in New York,
in aid of the Soldiers Sanitary Fund, they
were prevented from Offering articles by
means Of rafiling, by the opposition Of
number of ministers-but yet mock maria
ges, for which regular fee was charged,
was winked at and encouraged by these
whie>neck cloth gentry. The inconsistency
of the neddesome preachers has caused
them to be severely scored by a portion of
the New York press.
FoR IDAHO AND A FoRTUNE-Everv out
going steamer from San Francisco TO Port
land is crowded with passengers for the new
mines of Idaho. The crowd though not so
great as month ago, is yet large enough to
show that California is losing valuable pop
uation of Industrious and slnewy men, who
will only be partially returned to the State
again.
WAsno TRAvEL.-McCue' stage line now
makes daily trips between Auburn Station
and Virginia City-the stages being crowd
ed with passengers both ways. The same
rush of passengers is reported on the stage
lines from Lincoln and Folsom. Washoe
must be a land of 'prouise,' but whether it
meets its obligations is a question.
The people of Pitsburg, Penn. are blessed
with nice alderman named j. f. X. Jones
At present he is lying in Jail awaiting sem
tence on four convictions assault and bat
terry, keeping disorderly house, adultery,
and perjury. He made an attempt to com
init suicide by opening vein in his arm.
