The Savannah Georgian gives a very
Interesting account of the reception Of
Gen. LOPEZ in Savannah, and the excite
ment in consequence of his arrest 6y or
der of the President. We copy from its
able article the following. If no proof
coud be adduced to show be had not vio-
lated any existing law of the United
States, why were the administration so
prompt, as % resort to telegraph speed, to
put him under arrest!
On the arrival of Gen. Lopez, from the
Island, early in the morning, information
was communicated by telegraph to the
Spanish Minister in Washington, who
immed lately demanded his arrest by the
Government. During the day, despatch
was received from Washington by the
United States Attorney, Mr.. Williams,
from Mr.. Clayton, the Secretary of State,
directing the arrest of Gen. Lopez, on
charge of exciting in the United States an
insurrectionary movement, for the pur-
pose Of attacking and revolutonizing the
government Of friendly power. The
necessary warrant was prepared, and the
General arrested. The hearing was had
before his Honor, Judge Nichols, of the
United States District Court, al the Court
House
The arrest created great excitement,
and the assemblage of large concourse
of our citizens of all classes Col. Gaul-
din and Judge Charlton appeared as
counsel for the General. The case occu-
pied but a short time for lis decision.

the General. 1t is we'll known that an
attempt has been made to revolulionize

proof adduced to warrant his detention

Gen. Lopez was consulting short time

and when the court opened, entered with
all that dignity and .composure which can
! be felt by one when conscious of having
committed no act, which could in the least
tarnish the honor of an honest man and
a true patriot, or as having done no more
than to attempt the freedom of his fellow
citizens from the CALLING chains of des-
| potic government. On his appearance
he was highly cheered by the audience,
at the risk Of contempt OF Court. His
honor, Judge Nichols, through his officers
quickly restored order, and the hearing
oftbe case proceeded quietly. The interest
excited was intense throughout the whole
affair, and when Gen. Lopez was dis
charged from arrest, the court room rung
with the applause of the audience. and

TIE AFTER PIECE.-After leaving the
court room, and the shouts Of applause
having somewhat subsided, an immense
party escorted the liberated General to
the City Hotel, where he was received

Here, after a few moments pause, and
the BURNING impulses of his spri
awakened by thetokens of friendly feel
ing towards him, be made a short but
impressive speech, which was TRANSLATED
! by our frind Col. Gaulding, who kindly
