RreuIsIrIos urSs AN "UsvkrrR."-It may be
remembered by our reiders that man by the name
OF Bachelor was pursued into this State from Con.
nec,icut and captured al Pawcatuck, ncaf the line
OF the two States, charged with having uttered
counterfeit Money at New London. In order to be
taken into our sister State where the offence wac
COMMITTED, rqulsiiion on the Chief Magistrate
was necessary. The Governor Of Connecticut
having proclaimed Thomas w. Dorr legally the
Governor OF this State and Gov King an usurper,
It naturally expected that the eeusition for the
delivery Of MIR Bachelor would be made upon the
former senlemsn. The facts, however, show a
different result Yesterday, requisition for the
delivery of the prisoner was formally made upon,
even "thc usurper" OF the Chief Magisiracy OF our
Safe, Samuel Ward King, which was Immediately
complied with. No comments are necessary. Our
readers only desired TO put that and that tosc-
ther. They will thus strike upon the difference
between ,weedlc DUN and tweedle dee.
Since writing the above, we learn that Bodget
and the other gentleman charged with having COM
mtted offences against the Government Of M.ssa
chusetts, during the outbreak IN this STATE in June
las, left this city this day for Dedham, Massaehu-
sets, under charge OF an officer Of Mass chu >etts
having been surrendered TO the authorities e that
State. IN compliance with a requisiton made upon
Gov King by Gov DAvis-lProv. Chron.
