warrant was for resisting civil and criminal process
Capt Carpenter reported this message to the Record

nented by fulbuilt Americans, who were determined
to make the arrest at all hazards Gen. Sanford was
ready with the military, but it deemed better that
all other efforts should be first made 10 convince the
Mayor of his erroneous position. After several
messages from the proper authorities, General
sandford, accompanied by Deputy Superintendent
Carpenter and Capt Speigh,, went to the Mayors
office without force, and freely admitted. Gen.
SANFORD informed the Mayor that the Deputy Su-
pe,ittendept of the Metropolitan Police, with Capt
Speiglt had come to arrest him, and that their au-
boritv As officers Of the law should be recognized;
not he should feel Lis duty to bring out the military
and see that the process was executed. The Mayor
said nothing as our reporter informed, and Capt
Carpenter declared him under arrest Fernando
nodded assent, but said nothing. Upon this Sheriff
Wlett stepped up and claimed the Mayor to be in his
exclusive custody, he having him on writ of habeas
corpus. The Deputy Superintendent then delivered
the warrant and prisoner into the custody OF the
Sheriff, to be brought before the Recorder on the
charges preferred so soon the habeas corpus was
passed upon.
The Metropolitan officers with Major-General Sand

OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE CITY HALL.
A crowd of turbulent citizens gathered upon the
Park Yesterday morning TO witness tight. They came
TO help the Mayor to beat down Metropolitan Po-
lice they did the day before II is said that all the
pueilisis who have distinguished themselves in their
profession, with all their retainers, had been sum-
mOned to the scene for this purpose.
If one doubted the object Of their long suffering
patience in standing about the yard and the walks,
hour after hour, watching every movement, he had
only to mngle with them hear their imprecatons, ans
ask their opinions 1t was seldom necessary to ques-
ton them however for could not pass along with
out hearing upon either side of him. threats rude
deuuncations, all directed against the Governor and
Metropolitan Police. There was much exultation over
the bloody deeds of Tuesday, not only among the
crowd. but among the policemen who guarded the
City Hall. The rumor started by the Mayors
men, that il was the Governor who called out the
military. This was to awaken deeper hatred and
prejudice among the ignorant, who have been made
to believe that the Governor designs to usurp the
tire control of the city.
The City Hall, at early hour bad all the appear

cemen present, arrayed in a very advantageous posi-
ton, in every respect similar to the previous day

of the policemen; and King no King passed
along the ranks.
The men were greatly excited by rumOr that the
Recorder had determined not to admit the Mayor to
bail, but would imprison him. "They will have to
get him first and they can't do that long were
alive, was the expression of one Of the Captains
which was received with pleasure by the men.
The greatest excitement prevailed about o'clock.
Al that time Chief Matsell and Gen. Sanford entered
the MAYORS room and had brief conference 1t Is
believed that the General told the Mayor he had re-
solved that the warrant should be served upon him, if
he had TO Ell force service by all the military force

construed by the crowd, and the excitement at once
became intense. Soon, however, Gen. Sanford, arm

Carpenter, passed through the crowd, were admitted
to The rear door Of the building and there joined
