For .ome time back the dragons, with or with
ont Sterias or Deputy -Sberifs, have been arrest
inc Free.state men, Yesterday one Of the most
Aserspt acts on record was comm tied IN Law
rence BY a cUmpspy Of United states dragoons
Mr.. Leglet and Major D. Hoyt were arrested
without the shadow Of authority. Thus Infamous
Bsney, who is one Of the most vile-lookine SCOUT
drele on earth, AID who, there is no doubt, 10 a
paid emisssry and spy Of the Pro-Slavery parry
20 watch Lawrence, rode at the head VI
the dragons, and pointed out the men
tie dragons were to arrest lney rode aoou,

respectable citizens, admitted they had none
They refused TO produce any papers. or sho" any

against either Of these men. LcPget Is we'll
known, u alous Free state ma, out belongs 70 no
military company, and has taken no part IN aoy OF
the proceedints g, that am aware OF The only thing
! know is this: During the Committee OF sltizens
of Lawrence to investigate the late shooting case
the bogus Justice Who presided issued subpoena
for Mr.. ]. Colburn, whom the Dragons, at the
instance of Hauey, had taken prisoner that morn
ipp. Mr.. Lepget was dispatched to serve the
subpeua, issued by this Territorial Justice acting
as special bal it, The dragon officer, Lieut.
Perkins, gave him up reluctantly, and wanted nm
returned. Mr.. Legeet asked the officer if he had
apy legal process or authority r OBTAINING him;
the officer said be had not, and knew OF noIe.-
MIR. Lepptt told him that be would not subject
himself to civil process by returning man to pr
son under such circumstances. This Is the 0nlJ
pretext for assailiDg Mr.. Legget Against Mr.
Hoyt know OF nothing, except that the people o.
Lexington robbed him Of lot Of rifles last sPrlng
oh, how infamous perse ,utior is this 1t is base
enough to use U. S. troops to enforce the vile
usurping Territorial laws, but for company o
drsgooEs to go about behind man VINO preteno'
10 be deputy sheriff, arresting oil be points out
without legal procts So, even from such authorities
is ponstrous. II is system of persecution which
is evidently to be persevered D until the bold are
all laid in prison and the fearful have fed TIT
country.
