Lieut.. Col. Campbell, commander Of
tho military expedition from Baltimore,
for the arrest OF the murderers on the
Washington Railroad, has returned, aud
committed to tho Baltimore County Jail
800 prisoners. Probably all the murder
ers are among the number, and also ma
ny that are not only innocent, but even
ignorant OF the perpctraiion Of it. There
was not the least resistance from any one
OF the host, nor any insult or injury offer
ed to any one Of the party who effected
the arrests.

RHODE IsLASD.-What queer things tn m
up once in while; 1t is not long since
Duff Green, Major Noah, Col. Webb,
and some scores Of active leading polite
ians, were taking the van in support OF
Gen Jackson. Now they arc the most
active against him. For several years
past we have been accustomed to look
upon Elisha u. Potter, of Rhode Island,
as the master spirit Of The Jackson party
in that State. So oager were the Jack
son men to promote him, that they sent
him TO the Senate last winter, to take tho
place of mr.. Robbins elected by prcvi-
Gus Legislature for the same term. mr..
Potter appears to be shrewd man, and
cannot stand all sorts Of nonsense. In q
late debate in the Legislature, he had
the frankncss to ridicGle the "gold" pro.
jcct. The collar men Of his party have
therefore turned upon him, ant tho Re-
publican Herald, the Van Buren, organ in
Rhode Island, is now denounccing him.
...r. Potter and all others can see their
fate ifthey dare to lisp word aginst auy
project Of the X c., be il ever so wicked,
ever so corrupt, or ever SO ridiculous. -
They must swallow every thing without
wincing, or even wnk,ng, as much as il
they were slaves Of an eastern satrap. Ii
they even hesitate, the whole pack ol
wrapping g-psper twine and presses are let
loose upon them. .-Kennebec Journal.

Geahr, who was accused of being con-
ccrned in the murder Of Perry, at Phlla-
delphia, and arrested therefor, has been
examined and discharged. The Mayor
gave his opinion at length, in which he
remarked upon the nature Of circumstan-
tial evidence generally, and upon the
character ofthal which had been adduced
against tho Prisoner, which, though Ger
ta;nly sufficient to excite strong suspicion
did not seem enough to cause him to be
bound over, or committed for trial.-The
sudden departure and subsequent smgu-
lar conduct Of the prisoner, were to be
imputed to his knowledge or belief that
some executions were issued against hi:l.
The prisoner was therefore discharged.

CAUTION!! CAUTiON!!!

| hereby forwarn all persons against pur-
chasing three several promissory notes, exc
cuted by me to A. Baldwin, as they were
fraudulently obtained, and do not intend to
pay the same till compelled by law. All said
notes bear date the 9th June, 1888. One for
two hundred and fifty dollars, becomes due
the 18th Of August instant; one for six hun
dred and twenty-five dollars, becomes due
the first day of January next, and the third
for six hundred and twenty five dollars las
near as | can recollect,) becomes due the
firstof May 1884.
The above notes were given in purchase
of a patent right for burning gas, which
proves 10 be gross deception; fraud was
practised on me in obtaining the notes
and am resolved not to pay them but at the
end Of the compulsory process of law.
