Deputy United States Marshal Smith of
Marion county, returned 10 AIsrion on Tues
day, for tho purpose of arrestjug two more OF

smith was prepared foT a rough reception,
and was determined 10 have his men.
toHTafy 10 expectation, he met with no
'rouh!e, the tone OF popular sentiment haN-
inG hanged greatly, ard the arrest OF Court

About noon on Wednesday ne succeeded in
arres ting Dr. J M. Christian, q leading Dem
oeratic politician ot Marion, and Thomas
