Almost a Jail Delivery.

Sheriff Winirey has in JAIL at Van Buren
the following prisoners: John Glenn. Pick
ings Bengc Nathan G. Pierson, and George
Taylor, for horsc-stealing; Samuel Lee. for
larceny; James Paralec with assault with
intent to kill, and John Lewis, attempt at
rape.
BY some means the prisoners had obtained
cold chisel and cut the hinges to the inside
iron door. and when Gordon Stamps, the jail
or. opened the outside door to the Jail to hand
the prisoners their Sunday noon dinners five
OF them rushed upon him. and threw him
down. and attempted to put him in the jail
lie Immediately gave the alarm by loud APP
peals for help, which aroused the neighbors
and passers-by. and, before they could accom-
plish their purpose of pushing Stamps into
the Jail. Dir. Pernot came to his rescue. and
the prisoners gave up and were put back in
to their cells. Glenn and Benge appeared to
be the ring-lcaders in the assault. Glen sell
zed shotgun, belonging to the Jail and
brought it down on Stamps. and advised him
to surrender and submit, but he refused to do
so knowing the GU n was not loaded. and con-

and took part, being ready to leave with the
others,
A great deal OF credit is due Gordon
Stamps, the iaior for his bravery and dter
mination not to Weld to their demands. Many
under like circumstances, would have given
up, and permitted the escape, An extra guard
is needed. when a halfa dozen desperate men
are in confinement, and it is hardly fair
that one man should be asked to take such
risks as Stamps took Sunday.

About Fees.

The following from the Dcs Arc Citi-
izen meets our views of the subject, and
we want to call the special attention oil
the members of the Legislature to this
subject
1t will not be a great while until the
general assembly will convene again, &C
cording to adjournment, and there is a
very important matter that we hope the
newspapers of the state generally will
call the attention Of members to, aud that
is the free bill We will not say anything
about printers fees. in this, as that mat
ter has been partially provided for in the
appointment of committee by the press
association to look af,ar their interests,
but, in the matter of officers fees, We
wish to call especial attention, For the
life of us we cannot discover anything
but kind of false economy in the re.
duction that has been made in the fees of
sheriff., clerks, justices and constables.
Litigants pay the mostof their own tees
The result must be Increased litigation
and less capable officers. Wherein is
INC economy To lne State ne state
must lose by having incompetent officers,
and we cannot have competent and faith
ful officers long, without respectable
compensation. 1t may be that some will
answer, Oh! ! but we never fail Of big
crop of candidates about election time.
That may be true, but will capable men
want poor Office when they can do bet
ter at something else ? We judge not,
for the most patriotic man you can find,
wants either pay or honor for his public
services. The great amount of business
before the last legislature, and the feel
ing that the most rigid economy was nee
essary to get out OF the condition IN
Which radical rule placed u., excuses
somewhat the impcrfections OF the law,
and we doubt not that the legislature. at
its next session will correct the mistakes

trouble was anticipated when they dis
pcrsed for their return home. Though
threats had been made in the morning
and some of the men carried firearms in
consequence, about dozen Orangemcn
with ladies' and children disembarked at
eight O'Clock in the evening. at the
steamers landing on Water street, and
started to walk up town. A crowd of
several hundred Irish followed them,
shouting and jcering. Arrived in front

arrived at the scene and undertook to

mob drowned his voice. The mayor,
with a squad of police, started to take
the party through the crowd to their
homes. Essex street, through which
they had to pass, was at this time filled
for half mile with the mob. A shower
of stones, bricks and missiles was hurled
at the party as soon as it appeared upon
the street. With the exception of the
mayor, every one of the party was hurt

The firing quickly dispersed the mob,
who scattered in all directions. It's i'm

outright. Two men, one woman, and a
boy twelve years old were wounded

were wounded by stones and bricks
some of them quite severely, and four

The riot lasted two hours ard a half

the kind that has occurred here since

John ID. Lee has turned state IS evidence
