Mr.. Andrews, one of the editors Of the
New York World. the principal Copper

orator of the party. He Was arrested on
Thursday week lodged in Fort Lafayette,

Copper. cad politician. the Judge Perkins
of New York in fact. had issued writ of
habeas corpus to set him at liberty and re-
place him at the head Of the hord Of mur-
derers he had already led into SO much
crime. The circumstances of his arres. are
thus related BY the New York papers:
Andrews was arrested by detectives Nc
Cord, Farley. Radford and Dusenbury.-
They found him 10 bed with a colored wo-
man, at No. 10 Eleventh street. He was
somewhat disconnected at first by the time
he dressed himself. however, he became
calm, and ssid had he known the object Of
the visit, there would have been some diff
Guilty in arresting him. He wished to be
taken at once before a magistrate, so that he
might be admitted to bail declared that
The arrest without a warrant was arbitrary
and unconstitutional. He admitted that he
made speech on Monday. but declared he
had not spoken in public since that time.
He told our reporter that he made the
same speech to the mob that he made at
the Peace Meeting. SO called, at the Cooper
institute. Several persons are ready to
swear that they have heard him make incen.
diary speeches to the mob since Monday
His name is John U. Andrews; he was born
in Virginia. has been in this city since 1859
He is about thirty five years OF age; has

ia. or negro accent He has severe cut
on the temple. which he alleges he received
by slipping on entering he cell.
Andrews was President of Club in the
Eighth Ward in 1860. which contained
most Of the notorious thieves, .pimps and
gamblers in that Ward. For long time
he has lived with 4 colored woman. Jose
phine Wilson. Ofi,e S. j. Smith states
that he saw him walking in Broadway with
her, arm IN arm, last week She has kept
house of prostitution in this city for i2
years she came from Boston. About eight
months ago her house. then No. lis Green
street, was broken up, complaint having
been made against it, Andrews went to the
Station-House in the morning and requested
permission Of Sergeant Wilson to take the
black woman in carriage up to Jefer son
Market. The sergeant refused.
Andrews himself walked with her to the
bar of the court. and demanded to be al.
lowed to plead her case. The Justice not
satisfied that he had any authority to ap-
par, refused to hear him. bond
given by the black woman to appear at the
Special Sessions, and an Indictment was
found against her. She did not, however,

the household was unknown TO the police
until they had occasion 10 arrest Andrews.
Mr.. Chandler. of Norfolk, now consul.
says that Andrews has wife and family in
Virginia, who have been com PEELED 10 leave
him.
Marshal Murray, through Thomas Samp-
son. one Of his deputies, conducted the F.
F. V. to Fort Lafayette.
Andrews " declared his arrest arbitrary
and unconstitutional" OF course he did.
What else have he and his friends ever said
of any arrest that disabled traitor? Has
not the Sentinel denounced such arrests as
" unconstitutional" from the day Merry
man. the bridge-burner, was locked up. till
nov? Does not the Chicago Times de-
nounce the seizure of this very man An.
drews as arbitrary and tyrannical ?''--
Does not Copperhead virulen.e everywhere
assail the government as oppressive" or
I" usurpiug," il it lays its hand upon any
man whose language or conduct stirs up
strife at home or gives help TO the rebels in
the field +? Andrews only uttered the
shibboleth of his party in this protest. The
place where he was Iound, and the person
in whose company he was found. are only
additional proofs Of his right to lead mob
of rebel sy sympathizers. That the practices
of shareholders should prevail where their
sentiments are so ardently supported, is
natural. though not very oredi,able.
