FURTHER UNwARRANTEp ARRESTS BY THE
PoLIcE-CoNTINUATI OF MAYOR BIsHop's
WAR UPoN WoMEN.-Day before yesterday
Carrie Miller was arrested upon charge of
malicious destruction of property, at the in
stance of Emma Pross, and committed for
examination next Wednesday. Prompted
by a spirit of revenge, and being aware Of
the disposition of the Mayor to prosecute
"bad women" she caused warrant to be
issued for the arrest of Mrs. Pross, charging
her with harboring lewd and abandoned fe-
males. .t..Ia
Armed with this warrant, the police-who
are remarkably brave when their antagonists
are of the opposite sex--about eleven o clock
made descent upon the establishment of
Mrs. p, and arrested her, together with eight
females who boarded with her, and ten males
who happened to be visitors at her house at
that unlucky hour.
When the names of the parties had been
registered on the slate at the Ninth-street
Station-house, the males were informed by
Lieutenant Cook that they would be allowed
to depart upon giving bail in the sum of SIC
| each for their appearance this morning be-
| fore the Police Court, while the females were
locked up in the cells in default of bail in
the sum of $50 each.
This circumstance naturally gives rise Il
| some speculation in regard to the authority
/ OF Lle OlucefS IOr JnlS rdIner singular pro
ceeding. Does warrant, issued for the ar
rest of one person, include an entire house
hold2 Were the ten men and uine womel
all guilty of harboring lewd and abandoned
females and if not what authorized thei
arrest in company with the really guilt,
party2 Why should men, under such cir
cumstances, be released upon $40, Will
females are required to give $50 bail
Have the police the right to invad
the premises of any person and arres
his or her friends and visitors, without an.
shadow of authority, merely because the.
are such persons friends and visitors, AM
his or her arrest has been warranted by tn
chief magistrate of city2
Such proceedings seem to us remarkabl,
strange, and as they have been very frequen
during the administration of Mayor Bishop
II is about time this authority was called i
question. We believe the arrest of this Who'll
party, with the exception of Mrs. Pross, wa
illegaland unauthorized and that damage
for false imprisonment in every case, coul
be recovered in any court in the country

right of every individual, and should NEE

Another Practical AmaIgamation Case in
do .. nInaanc nchuaettA .H..

The Boston Traveller, of a late date re-
markss "About two months ago, an aged
couple at the Neck took into their service a
girl of Irish parentage, belonging in Boston,
who shortly after began 10 receive the visits
of a smart-looking colored man. whose way
had previously been prepared by the girls
statement that though her mother was
Irish, her father was of mixed blood, &c.
Still the old folks were at first little sur
prised at the sable hue of the aspiring beau,
but tried to imagine that in the dark com :
plexion of the girl a little of the race was ap-
parent. .F .er -lr.-. ri'Lrhaly lIa
"a few days ago the couple we're seen in the
street by some Of the girls friends, who re-
ported the fact TO her parents, and she was
called home. What occurred is not fully
known, except that after weeks confne-
ment in room, in which love didn't laugh
| at the locks, the girl was given the liberty
| of the house, her bonnet and outdoor ap-
parel having been put away that she might
not take advantage Of her liberty.
| "But she slipped out between two days, and
before her relatives were aware of her alb
sence, she was Joined in the bonds of matri-
mony, and mad gone TO Charlestown after her
clothes. The old. couple had been unable to
account for her absence, which she explained

| sent of her friends, gave the young couple a
few presents, and they departed Fifteen
minutes had scarcely elapsed when the father
accompanied by an officer, appeared at the
door. His rage on learning of his daughters
marriage, and that he had been represented
by her as part African, cali not be described
"The girl is but seventeen years of age
though large for her age and quite intelli-
gent. Her father is Irish, has some wealth
owning one or two tenement-houses in Bos

officers in pursuit of the runaways, declaring
that he would shoot the first one he got sigh
