Arrest of ArrisOn, the Murderer of MIR.
and Mrs. AllisOhl

We have she pleasure of announcing to our
readers that this fend, the author of the in.
fernnl machine whereby the unfortunate Alli-
son met horrible death, was arrested on
Wednesday morning in Iowa, by Mayor Smell.
baker, Captain Hoke and Deputy Marshal
Lee, who LEFT this city on Monday, having,
trough an intercepted letter addressed to a
person in this city, discovered the where.
abou,s Of the murderer.
1t seems that Arrison has been, for some
time past officiating in the drug store of Mr..
Doughcrty. in Muscatine, as clerk, under the
name Of Willetts. This fact Mayor Smell
baker was cognzant Of, and having upon his
arrival in the town secured the service OF the
Sheriff and posse Of officers, they repaired
to MIR. Dougherty's store, where, in a back
room, with his back to the door, they observ-
ed Arris1n reading newspaper.
Going up to him, Mayor Snelbaker placed
his hand upon his shoulder and exclaimed,
"How do you do, Mr.. Arrison," The effect
was electric; he became rigid as a corpse,
every muscle of his face becoming fearfully
contracted. He, however, denied that his
name wasArrson. His trunk was searched,
and several books were fourd in it, the title
pages of which had been tern out. One,
however, had escaped this precaution, fos, on
Il tly-leaf the name of civilian Arrison''
was traced with pencil He was placed on
a boat, which .happened'to be lying at the
warf, and in custody of Mayor Snelbaker,
Capt. Hoke and Deputy Lee, arrived at Rock
Island. There the party took the cars, and
at ten o'clock last night Arrison was safely
lodged in the Nnth-street Station-house.
The first day of bis arrest he appeared
quite cheerful, pnd chatted and joked with
but yesterday he appeared much
cast down, and when he arrived in this cty
his spirits were entirely gone. He still Ge.
nies that his name is Arrison, but the facts
are too damnng for him to hold out, although
he has, by shaving of his whskers, attempt
ed 10 alter his appearance.
Too much praise cannot be awarded cur
worthy Mayor and his associates for the
prompt and skillful manner in which the ar.
rest was made. 1t reflected disgrace upon
our authorities so long as the villain was at
large. The Mayor felt this and has left no
stone unturned to trace his where abouts
The discovery was made in consequence of
a letter sent here, whereby letter meant for
an . resembled c, and it was taken out by
a person whose name il was made to spell in
consequence, Upon SO slight a mistake
hung the life Of the murderer.

LIQUoR PRosEcUTIoHs.-Eigh Of the
principal retailers Of liquors in this tcity, en-
bracing several leading hotels and saloons,
were arrested on Saturday, on aaidavis filed
before Justice Philpot, and brought up before
the magistrate, charged with violating the
New Liquor Law. Four oe them waved an
examination and, were bound over to the
Probate Court for trial.
The battle is betwee the Carson League
on the one side, and the Retail Liquor deaf
ers on the other. The whole strength and
influence Of both parties, backed up by mon
ey and counsel, will be brought to bear
The League has nearly 100000 Q: stock
subscribed, aud, ifsuccessful IN this instance A.,
expect to swell the fund TO $5o0,0O0 before
next Spring. The number Of holders Of stock
is several hundred, embracing many of the
most wealthy men in the city. The mode of
proceeding on the part of the League is very
simple. A committee of three is appointed,
who employ counsel, procure witnesses, nand
follow the arrests to final judgmqtt The
liquor seller is first arrested andssexamined
before a Justice under the first or second
section, as the case may be, Then passed over

gin new prosecution and repeat 1t as often
as tho law is violated. 1t is of no use TO
appeal the case on the grounds of the uncon-

Court has held it to be constitutional. The
League has abundance ofmoney to employ
counsel and hunt upswitnesses. On the 9TH
sr hand, the Liquor Dealers are prettys stiff
IN the back bone, and will make formidable
fight. They have employed six able law.
yers to defend them, and seem confident of
victery in the ind. One Hotel has quit the

Romanism at Rome.

A correspondent Of the "Independent,"
writing from Italy, makes the following
statement:
awe have lately IAeep scnndalized by an
affair which happened in Rome, and of which
even some Roman Cat6olie papers have pro-
fessed to be ashamed. Not many days ago
died man named CALI ~ He was the cou-
sin of the minister at that time, hut held
widely different opinions, and thought, like
many other Romans, that the overtime W of
at least the temporal power Of the Pope
wouldbe ofgreat benefit to the people of
Italy las Calls parents were wealthy, and
as he no, believe much in the priests
te achl1gs, he gave nothing in his will TO his
RELATIVE nor to the clergy, but bequeathed
all his property (about $l00,ooO) to a friend
ofhis, a be employed by that friend in works
Of benevb vblence for the relief Of the poor
The legatee, lawyer Of the name of Aless
Frsnchi, was liberal minded man. After
the opening of the will, he set about to plan
some work-houses, an asylum for infrm old
men, &c, when, Unexpectedly he hears the
Chapter Of 81. Peters Church have decided
thai the works of benevolence to be perfor.

specified in the will, the inheritance belongs,

The preistedddsd, doubtless in order to com.
fort the dispossessed legatee, that the $500,
900 were to be employed in repairing the
Pia,ra di Sas Pistro. On hearing this,
our lawyer goes ,s the Pope. who, thinking
he was seeking some profit in the matter,
promised him that before the difficulty was
over, he should certainly obtain something
for himself. Meanwhile the s. Hisifa. an.
other body, composed Of cardinals, and whose
bus mess it is, among other things, to revise
wills, have declared that the sum bequeathed
must be spent in masses to be said for the
benefit ofthe testator's soul. And there the
matter stands. Will the money be spent in
paving anew st. Peters Place, or in mass es.

ARREST OF An AsKRicAi cifrxEr IN GKhoA.
- The Gensa correspondent Of the Newark
Advertiser writes;
The recent arrest Of an American citizen
in this city Is an illustrative incident. II
shows to what indigni,its every visitor 10
constantly exposed. Mr. Quin had taken
passage for the United States. During the
evening before ,he day Of his departure, he
was reading newspaper ina Cafe, with
some marks Of displeasure, which two young
Austrian cadets remarked, and thus opened
conversation. Affecting agreement with
him, he was betrayed into rather free ex-
pressioa Of American sentiments, ,sfter which
they parted, without any apparent discord.--
Soon however, he was arrested and thrown
into the military prison Of the Austrian gar.
rison. The United States Consul, A.
Blinds, Esq, citizen Of South Carolina
though by birth an Italian, having heard o
the case, forthwith waited upon the Tusctr
authorities and demanded their interposition,
and the release Of the prisoner. or a trial &C
cordng to the civil laws Of the country. Blu
he was told that the city was under military
law, and that he must call upon the Austrian
commander-n chief. He protested that a
an American Consul in Tuscany, he ha
nothi to do with Austria, and he presse
his suit in vain and left, but not however
without formal protest.
In the hope Of effec,ing speedy release o
the prisoner, he repaired to the Austria
headquarters. where he was tod with an al
o. absurd solemnity, that the man had bee
guilty Of an enormous crme--nothing les
than an attempt to seduce the young cadet
and excite nsuoordDation-not one word c
which had the slightest foundation in trut
) and that the penalty was death, and ths
, he must be tried by the military tribunal
After reasoning the case, without success h
closed the interview with an assurance tn,
he should forthwith communicate the case
the Commander Of the U. s. squadron, (Cou
Strngham) now fortunately in the Gulf
, Spezia, on this coast.
The next morning letter was received
the Consulate fom the Chief OF the Austria
forces in Tuscany, at Florence, saying tn,
J the prisoner, in consideration Of his being
e stranger, against whom there appeared to
testimony Of other than dsorderly conduc
and Americ an citizen alb ut to leave Il
country, would be restored to liberty. 1t W
carefully added, in postscript, that Il
threat Of sending for the squadron had n
the slightest influence in the case! Mr.. I
is now safely on his way home.
