became somewhat bitter towards Dlumenpu[g, on
the ground that be had enlisted several parties
under the Federal Government A suggestion was
made by some that they should exercise the
authority vested in them military men, and ar
rest the man a traitor, more properly, as
suspicious character. 1t was Immediately acted
upon, and at late hour of the night party of
them proceeded with their captain to the
house OF Blumenburg, to carry out their
designs. Upon their arrival at the house they
were met at the door by three OF the Middle dis
tric police officers who objected to their entering
the house for any purpose. The captain again
made an exhibition OF his imaginary authority, and
at the point of the bayonet, ordered the officers to
be arrested, which was Immediately done, and the
door of the house, it is stated, was smashed in by
the soldiers A messenger was despatched to
Marshal Kane for instructions, who sent posse of
officers to the spot, and MIR. Sbillen was escorted
the police station. Being Intercepted, he denied
having arrested the officers, and stated that he
acting under instructions from his superior officer,
MAJOR Swinney. The Marshal politely informed
the gentleman that martial law not in exist

liable to punishment for violation of the law as a
citizen. u e therefore ordered him to be confined
until rnng, which done-captaiu epau-

The McDoNoGH EsTATE.-In the First Branch Of |
the City Council last evening report was pre- |
sented by the President from William S. Peterkin
and Thomas L. Emory, agents of the McDonogh
estate. The report, which is lengthy, gives in de-
tail the result of the abors of the agents since the
matter has been placed instheir hands All the
property belonging to the estate to which this city
has been declared entitled, has been disposed of
with the exception of about Is 900 acres in her
vile, ST. James and Livingstone parishes, which
are valued at $4,000. Ausion is made to suit
which entered by New Orleans against this
-holf oft na
amount OF 100000 paid to counsel engaged in the
different suits. This suit decided against this
city to the amount Of S37 900. The total valuation
of the share of the city of Baltimore in the
was at first estimated at $40, but by the
agents report it is shown that the handsome sum
OF $3.50 e39 96 has already been realized out of the
sales heretofore made, which, added to the land
yet unsold and valued at $4,000, makes total of
$3.50 1888 &c. or an increase Of nearly S125 900 over
the original estimate clear of all commissions.-
The report shows that the sum of S495, ga has
already been transmitted to the trustees of the
McDOnogh school fund of this city. The expenses
have been from lst June, 1854 to date S57 1902 sS,
and the balance now in bank is S14,O99.76.

business IN this city, few DAYS since went to their
landlord and Informed him that they intended to
Vaeate bis warehouse, assuring him that they were
unaole on account OF the pressure of the crisis to
pay the rent they had been paying him formerly
and intended procuring a room in a second story
at small rent. The landlord replied that as thew

disposed to assist them, and offered them the use of
Ms warehouse at the same rent for which thew

character occurred yesterday, and were it not for
the oustle occasioned by the continual passing to
