From the Baltimore Republican Of Thursday.
The Arrest of MARSHAL X ane.

The city was thrown into considerable excite
ment at an aarly hour this morning by report
TO the effect that the marshal OF police, Col
Geo. p. Kane, had been arrested by body Of
Federal troops and taken TO Fort Mctdenry.
Upon inquiry our reporter was Informed that
about 81 O'Clock this morning body of soldiers
from Fort MctienIy aud Camp Pennsylvania,
numbering about 200, marched into the city,
and passing through the southern portion OF the
city they captured all police officers VINO came
in sight, to prevent the possibility of raising any
alarm. Continuing the line OF march, they
proceeded to the residence of Col Kane, on 81
Paul street, between Monument and Madison
streets, and Immediately placed guard in all
the surrounding streets for a distance OF several
squares. ar
The officer In command applied at the door
for admission, when Col Kane promptly ap-
peared and was taken into custody, without
even an opportunity to bid farewell to his famil, ;
but the marehal, Il is said, did not hesitate or
object, but quietly informed the officer in COM
mand that few lines addressed to him from
toe fort would have secured his presence there,
without the necessity of sending two regiments
OF the dead hour Of night TO arrest him.
Ine marshal was then placed in u carriage,
and being placed Ia the center OF strong guard,
the troops returned 10 the fort by way Of ChaI les
street; the police officers being held until the
troops had passed outside of the city, when they
were released and ordered TO proceed to their
duties ure1
