Franz; Blair in Trouble.-A correspond
emit of the Missouri Republican says that F P
Blair was near being arrested by the gems
d'arme of Virginia, while on his way to
Washington. The writer says:
At Martinsburg, where we took dinner, an
officer in charge OF a company stationed
there, entered the room and calmly survey-
ed the passengers seated at the table. When
the meal was finished and the passengers
had resumed their seats in the cars, the off,
Ger, with file of men entered the car in
which Frank was, and proceeded to Jake
him into custody as suspicious character.
This he would most assuredly have accom-
plished but for the earnest assurances of
several members of Congress, that Mr.. Blair
was on his way to Washington city, aud had
no idea of remaining in Virginia one mo-
ment longer than it was possible for him to
get out of it, whereupon the officer relented
and permitted him to go on his way.
