ALBANY, March Is, 1869.
The Of arrest by the federal government in the
county Of Oneida has taken every by surprise
At the time all sides and Of all political shades
rejoice the change OF mode and the which
arrest conducted From the additional de-
tails that have received in this case, appears that
officials sent from Washington with orders
to arrest the entire party supposed DO implicated
and take them forthwith to Washington These officials.
on their way this order, called upon Mr. Ora
per- Provost Marshal Of New York city, who urged and
prevailed upon the Official officials not TO take them to
Washington. On the other hand he advised the officers
TO 60 before United States Commissioner for Oneida
county Mr. Boyce and obtain warrant 70 arrest those
implicated In regular and legal form. The above nsmed
Commissioner democrat, regular voter in that party,
aud supported Seymour at the last election.
This tact makes tho sequel all the more important
The advice OF Mr. Draper followed by the Official,
who applied the above Commissioner stating his facts
and charges against certain aiding desert
from the army. The Commissioner forthwith granted
the necessary warrant and the parties were
arrested and taken before him for examination, .
