District Of Virginia, who recently held the
Circuit Court in this city is now IN military
CUSTODY ia the city Of Norfolk, his offence be-
ing the announcement Of his intention to hold
Court in that city.
We condense the following statement OF the
arrest from the Norfolk correspondence OF the
New York Tribune Snead was living on
the Eastern Shore of Virginia before and dur
ing the Rebel possession of that part OF the
Of the State. By his own confession, when
Intercepted by General Butler, he practiced
as a lawyer before the Rebel courts up to the
time when the Union troops put an end to
them. However, in November last be took
the oath Of allegiance, it being about the time
that Governor Pierpoint ordered an election
tor Judge Of the Circuit Court for the district
\ of six or seven counties, which include the CT
ties Of Portsmouth and Norfolk. Votes were
polled in only those two places, less than 700
in the former and 10 In the latter, whereupon
Pierpoint declared Snead elected Judge, and
SC commissioned him.
On the 3Oth Of June last General Butler is
sued an order reciting that In Norfolk civil
government had been established by permits
sion of Gen. Wooll-that such government
had failed to answer its legitimate end'-that
in view Of these facts the commanding General
had ordered an election as to wheter such civil
government should be continued, that the
fullest discussion Of these questions was had, =
that "a pamphlet was published by person
who calls himself Governor, and whose means
Of living largely depended upon the votes cast
ia favor Of civil government, upon the ABUSES
Of military power, = that "a proclamation
was issued to intimidate the citizens from yo-
ting, BY the same person. pretending to be the
lead Of the restored Government of Virginia,
which Government is unrecognlzed by the
Congress, laws and Constitution OF the United
States, that the loyal citizens Of Norfolk
determined, with unanimity almost unex-
ampled-by vote of three hundred and thirty
to sixteen-against the further trial of the ex-
pertinent Of municipal government which
gave as results to them only taxes and salar-
led officers, without any corresponding
benefits, = and that therefore it had been
ordered, that all attempts to exercise civil
offiee and power, under any supposed city cleo
ton, within the City Of Norfolk and its enyir-
ons, must cease, and the persons pretending
TO be elected to civil Offices at the late election,
aud those heretofore elected to municipal off
ces, since the Rebellion must no longer at
tempt to exercise such functions; and upon
any pretense or attempt to do so, the Military
Commandant at Norfolk will see to it that the
persons SO acting are stayed and quoted
