Hall was again desecrated, not only by the sale
OF liquors, but by a riot, in which, we are sorry
TO say, some Of the Metropolitan Police are
charged with participating. A ball was given,
and Sergeant Skippon notified a manager-Mr
X Rainey-that liquor must not be sold; and
he so promised. In the course OF the evening a
barkeeper began TO sell liquor, and soon riot
began. Patrolman Lusby went to quell the
disturbance, when he was assaulted and re-
sisted by James Monahan, another patrolman
M. Is. German, another NJ. p, aided him in the
resistance. Michael McNemara and James
Fitzgerald participated in the riot. The two
patrolmen were net in uniform, but when the
riot was getting serious they declared their Of
fetal character. Justice Thompson held Mon
ahan TO bail for court, in $500, to answer the
charge of assault and battery and resisting the
officer. The other three We're held in $500 each
toNnswer the charge of riot
A warrant was issued against James Raglan,
who was responsible for the sale of the LIQUOR
Sergeant Skippon declared his intention to
report the officers to the superintendent and,
also, the officer who had charge Of the door
who failed TO assist in quelling the riot.

HAnPER's FERRY COMMISSION.


The Tribune prints the report of the
Harpor's Ferry commission, and gives the
following synopsis of the facts ELECTED,
editorially:
The material facts are as follows: Col.
Miles was in command at HarPers Ferry.
General White was present from Septem-
ber 18th till the surrender, but did not as
sumo command. Colonel Ford took com
mand of Maryland Heights September
9Th. General Mcclellan left Washington
for Rockville September 7th, most Of his
forces having preceded him. The enemy
attacked Maryland Heights on the morn
ing Of September 18th. The 10th New
York broke and fed disgraeefully, and
the breastworks on the hill were lost.
Colonel Miles was on Maryland Heights
that evening for some hours, consulting
with Colonel Ford. He left between IL
and u o'clock, without directly ordering
Colonel Ford TO eTaeuate the Heights, but
with instructions to spike his guns if
compelled to abandon. About 2 o'clock
Colonel Ford abandoned the Heights. The
enemy did not occupy them, and the next
day Colonel Utassey sent over four COM
panies who brought away four guns and
q wagon load of ammunition. After the
evacuation of Maryland Heights, Colonel
Miles sent word to Mcclellan, then at
Frederick City, that unless reinforced he
would not hold out forty-eight hours.
Mcclellan therefore dispatched a mes
sage to General Franklin, who was engag-
ed with the enemy at Crampton's Gap,
wholly unable to give the needed assist
ance, or to give it n time. Mcclellan ap-
pears to have made no other efforts to re-
lieve the place. The enemy attacked Har-
per's Ferry on the morning Of the 18th, and
at eight A. II. the surrender was agreed on, |
Colonel Miles representing to the brigade
whom he consulted, that his
ammunition was nearly exhausted, and
they eoneurring in his discretion to sur
render. The commission sceuit General
White, Colonel D Utassy and Colonel Trim /
bic Of all blame for this surrender and
praise the capacity of the former. They
End that Colonel Ford was given by Colo !
mel Miles discretionary power to aban-
don the Marylsnd Heights, but that
the exercise Of this discretion was prema
ture that he conducted the defense with no !
ability, and that his exhibition Of lack of
disqualifes him for command. |
Col. Miles is convicted of insapaeity and |
neglect, especially in nsglecting |
to fOrtify and hold Maryland Heights, the !
key Of the position, and evidence stated in
tie seRoTt eoRssTniug his course with the !
