paid him visit and presented resolutions of the
Common Council, remarking that they not only ten
dered the freedom and Inequalities of the city but
also endorsed bis political course.
Mr.. Douglas in response, said this was a complete
surprise to him. until last night he had no ultima
imagined that his course had attracted the attention

est as it is and as it is to be under the Constitution
OF the United States, on the face of the earth.
This city was the representative of all the States
and oil the Territories of the Union, wherever the
starry american flag waves upon the sea or upon the
land. Sectional controversies might disturb other
portions OF the country but New York had not list

KIRK ANDERSON AND JOHN HARrNErr OUTRAGED
70 His Honor, the Mayor OF q. s. L. City: . a.
SIR: We desire TO enter complaint against certain
policemen Of this city, viz: VIM. Thorn. VIM. Theo-
bald, 2: EIdrege, VIM. ?. McIntre, .: F. snedeker
J. G. Wiley, Geo. Nebeker, and w. Lund, who, on
the night Of the ga inst, acted, as we think, in 1
manner against law and right, and contrary to our
rights and privileges as citizens.
On the night alluded to we were walking along
peaceaby towards our place Of abode, and on arriv
ing Mt near the corner Of East Temple and First
South Temple streets, we discovered . body Of men
at least eight in number, armed with guns and who
as we approached within few feet OF them, cooked
their guns, and placed themselves directly in front
us in hostile manner that simultaneously with oui
approach one Of the number, viz: VIM. Thorn, fired
pistol we demanded Of the above party to know
the cause Of this action, to know the name Of the
party firing, to have him taken before the Mayor Of
the city, or the Marshal, to none Of which demands
did we receive a satisfactory answer. The only ex
given was that the discharge Of the pistol was
accidental. ~
Now, we solemnly protest against such-like inter
ference by any body of policemen, no matter by whom
appointed regulated, with guns or other weapons
planting themselves in our front on public high
way, when occasion Of oense had been given, and
in doing not only offered fragrant insult to oul
rights as citizens. but hazarding our lives.
We charge that this was committed by the parties
above mentioned, and we demand an Investigation
in the matter. JOHN HARTNETT,
KIRK ANDERSON.

Monday that averted from her the horrible fate of

By q teegraphic dispatch received yesterday we

him in the sum of $4,000, to answer preliminary
examination. We also learn that Mr.. Tuggles is not
dead and will probably recover. ~si#
