BLACK SHEEP.

The st. Louis Dispatch thinks
that General Noyes, the Republican
candidate for gubernatorial chair OF
Ohio, a one-legged soldier, cant
be expected to run with one of the
fighting McCooks." If the Dispatch
knew anything about Ohio politi-
cians,-which it dosen't-it would
know that Old Granny McCook
whom the Democrats of this State
recently nominated for Governor
though he belongs to the family of
McCooks-is not a Fighting Nc
Cook" He sent his brothers Alex,
Bod, Dan, and Edward, to the war
and they all did good service in as
sisting to restore the Union; and
when John Morgan invaded Ohio,
he sent his father to assist in driving
John out of the State-but he him
self didn't yolunteer-not any. 1t
is said that in every large flock there
is one black sheep. The McCooks
are a pretty large flock and George
w. is their one black sheep.

THE FIRING ON THE MOB.

again the great 'unwashed' ap-
preached the TANKS and rear of the
forces, and with redoubled determin-
alton in every direction about the
heads of the soldiers. From the
house-tops missiles were flung, and
the rage of the mob increased mo-
mentarily. On the south east side
of Twenty-frst steet is Dan Ryan's
liquar store. There is wooden
awning and news stand in front of
it. From the shelter of these a
murderous assault was made upon
the S4th regiment, commanded by
Lieut.Col. Mitchell. Here a woman
flung a piece of crockery from the
roof, and pistol shot was fired from
the window, the ball striking one of
the men of the Saith. Another yes.

regiment, on the head, and without
receiving any orders from Gen. Va

indeed from any one else, the men
began to fire upon the densely pack

THE PROCESSION MOVES.

1
After several of these sallies and
counter sallies by the police and
the crowd, the versatile and inter
mixed notes of the music ceased for
an instant; single cannon was dis
charged, and then, with one long,
shrill tune, played by the Orange
mems own band, the whole pro
cession- military, police and all
started at good marching gait
down Eighth avenue. Cries were
now made of, ''Well, boys, they are
coming at last! Now, wait for them.
Look at the bloody scoundrels! /!
Whooi whOop ..+.- n 81.
First came a broad body Of po-
lice, wedged closely together, so that
the. arms of many of the men i'm
pinged upon the sides of many of
those next to them. These were
thanked on the sidewalk by police
skirmishers on foot, each man car
rying his locust billy in his hand,
slung to his wrist by a cord. They
pressed the crowd well back from
the curbs, but did not molest those
who stood in the doorways. No
sooner had the line of police passed
when the rabble at the corners
moved up from their refugees and
took post at the angles of the streets
again.
ORDER OF PROCESSION.
After the police came platoons of
infantry, their bayonets at the Gear
ry arms" then followed the 7th
regiment, in good shape, wearing a
loose gray uniform, with black belts
and full cartridge boxes at their
sides; then came q second body of
police, also sweeping the street and
forming the van of the Oranglro-
cession. The Orangemen we're
flanked on one side by the 9th regi- |
ment and on the other by the 22d,
the troops greatly outnumbered the
small body of men whom they en-
compassed. Then followed in
strong order the S4th regiment;
then the 9Th; then came large and
solid body OF police, troops, &c,
closing the parade. a

THE DEAD AND DYING.

iHE DEAD AND DYING, -'-'
The record of the wounded, dead
and dying would fill a book witt
shapters of appalling horrors.
There is no scene so heartrendine
and distressing as the ground
strewn with the bodies of men. who
lived and laughed q few moments
before the fatal bullet laid them
low. t. f,'f ''-.'..-
Some lay in the gutter, face
downward, some on the railroad
tracks and others were stretched on
the sidewalks and in doorways.
Many limped off moaning, while q
few staggered or were borne awav
by there friends and kindly bystand-
ers. There were 16 persons stone
dead in the street, and many others
were an articulo morris.
At the Sixteenth precinct station,
in West Twentieth street, was a
ghastly spectacle. A vast crowd
filled the street in front of the en-
trance. The already exhausted DO
lice, streaming with perspiration,
and weak with thirst and hunger
could scarcely make way for the ar
rival of the improvised ambulances,
which were of every style, pressed
in for the dreadful duty. Bakers,
grocers' and market wagons were
used, and came in rapid succession,
freighted with the dead and wound
ed victims. Confusion naturally
reigned everywhere, and the sad
task of bearing the helpless forms
into the station, if hurriedly, was
tenderly performed. Many of the
dead are yet unidentified, and the
names of the wounded in some cases
were given almost inarticulately,
and of course incorrectly.
Nearly all of the killed and
wounded belong to the laboring
class. Some were mechanics, and a
few others in trade Of some kind.
If it is just to judge from outward
appearance, many of them were en-
gagged in'the fray at the time they
were shot down. Nearly all were
young, hale and hearty men, very
commonly clothed, and apparently
in poor circumstances. The inno-
cent were in the minority, and evi-
IDENTITY were rushing away to place
of safety when over taken by their
sudden and untimely doom. The
failure to identify most of them is
due to the police, precautions rem
dered absolutely necessary by excl
ted condition of the crowds besieg-
ing the doors. t'E h. -
FEMALE RIOTERS.
The Tribune says: .. n.
1t was a subject of general remark
among those who witnessed the riot
on the Eighth avenue that the most
violent of the mob were nearly all
women. 1t is said to have been a
woman who fired the first shot near
the Grand opera house. A woman
was the first victim of the first
charge of the police atTwenty- eighth
street. On the sidewalks, at the
shop doors, at the windows, women
were heard shrieking curses against
she bloody Orangemen and stimu
ating the courage of their husbands
md brothers. When Mayor Halls
friends get the ascendency are, we

detailed account of this terrible riot,
but will give the particulars in a
condensed form. From the New

at the rate in which the procession
set out. they were not more than a
minute or two passing any given
point. At their head rode a fine
specimen of the northern Irishman
"A raw-boned, erect, martial look
ing man, well dressed, with proud
but quiet bearing; and he it was
who received the vilest execrations
of the rabble on the sidewalks.
All the other Orangemen were
atoot, and most Of them were plain
ly dressed and some shabbilv
dressed; laboring looking men;
some gray and feeble, who appeared
to have passed their three scores,
and none of them paid any atten-
ton whatever to the outcries on the
right or the left, but walked straight
on, keeping time to the music.
There were several boys and some
children among these people, wear
ing the yellow sashes and rosettes
of their order, and most of them
grasped hands as they passed along
under the shadow of the blue ban
ner, the American flag, and the
transparency, which we have al
ready mentioned labeled with the
crisp invitation, american. free
men, join in!r' t.-#
Noticeable in this group was an
old man, tottering along quite feebly,
whose left hand held the wrist of a
child not more than twelve years of
age, and this child in turn support
ed on the other side a second old
man, whose left hand had hold of a
second youth. They. looked very
much like a procession of Sunday
school children, parents and teach
ers, going to some picnic of sum-
mer day.
THE FIRST STONE.
A woman rushed out from the |
sidewalk and seized the equipments
of one of tlIe Orangemen, and tried |
to pull them from his shoulders. !
She was crowded aside without hes
itation by soldier interposing the
butt of his musket and warning her
off. This hag uttered frequent cries
Of rage, spit upon the man and those
nearest to him, and lifted up her arms
and waved them toward the people /
on the sidewalk as if Representing
them for their backwardness. AL

The Convention did an excellent
work in the nomination of Jacob
Mueller of this city as the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
| 1t was one of the most fortunate hits
ot a Convention whose whole pro.
cedings were singularly happy. Tie
name of Mr.. Mueller in the second
place of honor on the ticket will raj

great body of Republican Germans,

Mr.. jacob Mueller is 4 native OF

man took All emtrseiic part in the rev
voiutionarY movement OF 1S4S. Un-
| der the Republican Government that
for short time existed i'll the Ger
man States. he held the position OF
Civil CnmnisSary, or local governor

When the reaction came. and the re-
volutionists compelled To fly, he took
refuge in the Uui,, d States, coming
direct to Cleveland. where Il brother
WAS residing. Like most of the re
fagres of that time, lie struggled for
Il living until his abilities aud perse
vcrance gave him good foothold
Possessing the esteem and confidence
Of his fellow countrymen, and win
ming the respect of his fellow citizens
generally. lie was chosen To repre-

was for time, Secretary OF the Ger
man Insurance Company of Cleve-

widely known throughout the State.
He resigned that position to devote
greater attention to the practice OF
law.
Two years ago he returned to Ger
many on visit, and during his stay
in Europe wrote serious of letters
to the Wcechter am Erie, which at
tracted widespread attention by their
ability. been observation, and depth

were copied BY the German press all

The nomination was wholly unex.
pecied and unsought by MI. Maeller.
Wt.en the matter was sug gested to
him before tie Convention lie treat
ed 1t As something wholly out of the
question, having neither hope nor
desire for it. 1t was only 10y urgent
appeal that he consented to the use of
