rnE an .Ksr OF MARSHALL KANE.

We copy the folio wing from the Baltimore
Clipper Of Friday last. The Clipper is
Black Republican paper:
| At O'Clock yesterday morning, a detach-
ment Of military proceeded to the residence Of
! George p. Kane, Marshal of Police The
| house was surrounded, and the commanding
| officer rang the bell The Marshal made his
I appearance at the window, and was IN formed
! that he was wanted. He then came do n to
| the front door, and was informed that they
| came to arrest him. A hack WAS in waiting,
| in which the Marshal was placed, and he WAS
driven To Fort McHenry The police on the
! route were taken in to custody to prevent any
unnecessary alarm, but we're liberated on the
arrival Of the troops with their prisoner at
| the Fort, where he is still confined.
| The substance of the above was duly an
| pounced upon the bulletin boards, but the
| public were still lett in doubt as to the par.
| licuIar charge upon which the Marshal had
/, been arrested. Their speculations were put
| to An end, however, by the issuing Of the fol-
| Owing:
