pronounced upon all the arrests, except
that Of Downs, who had been sent to
Washington, and whose case is one OF
much injustice and hardship.
We will only add few remarks upon
the case Of the Sheriff. He was not re-.
quired by law to receive and hold the ar.
rested men at tall. And in receiving them
Voluntarily the only obligation he ussum.
ed toward the Deputy Marshal was to de.
liver them back again when called for
There was, of course, no warrant or paper
Of commitment, nor any regular authority
for his holding them. His permitting
these men to vote was not only no viola
tion Of law but was in fact carrying out
the law which confers upon them the right
of suffrage. And the Marshall had ne
business to meddle with the question oI
their voting. He could have complained
only in case they had been permitted tc
escape.
Besides, it was well known that the
mon were illegally arrested. The Sheriff
received full legal advic, on the subject
and the men themselves were carefully
examined upon tho facts before anything
was done. In short, the conduct of the
Sheriff was not only uncxceptiouable bu
laudsble, and he deserved the thanks o
all honorable men instead of tho fou
abuse heapcd upon him by party malig
nifty, and the gross outrage of an inSolen
and lawless arrest.

"In view of these indictments against

The Democratic gain in Bloom twp,

that "the connection between the throne
and the altar is so intimate, that the ban

from men who say they went to hear him
out of mere curiosity, as it was understood
that he had stumped Sullivan, Wyoming

that by this time he nigh! for once be

BG5~ Last week the soldiers came down
from Benton to Orangevillc where a part
OF them yet remain. At the instance, as
it is believed of Sanderson Woods, Sam
Achenbach & Co. Professor j. 3. Pat
ton was ordered by the military to vacatc
his school house on one days notice for
the use of the troops. He had flourish
ing select school Of seventy or eighty
young men and women, which was broken
up and scattered. The Academy of Prof.
H. d. Walker, at the same place with a
smaller number Of scholars and younger
pupils, was unmolested. Professor Pat.
ton is supposed to be Mcclellan man
while Walker is Yankee Aboitionist OF
tho first water. This unauthorized ap-
preparation of private property and de-
struction OF useful institution, while a
rival one was spared, is one instructive
example of the existing condition of our
country under Abraham the First.
