premises, and sold the ore to one Mays,
and placed Mays in possession. he
then instituted suit before Justice
(F. b. WEIGH sforessid) tor the rent for
The time he lad occupied stnder the leose
from the Uaited States.
The parties refused 20 surrender the
store TO the Treasury Agent, and he was
compelled to call upon the military au-
tnorities for assistance TO aid him in
getting possession of The same The
suit for rent came, and Mr.. Young pre-
scented, as evidence, his lease, duly exc
cuisd, &c, and the Treasury Agent tes,.
tilted to his authority, execution Of the
document, and receipt of rent from
Young. Justice Weleh, however, rem
dered 3 judgment against Mr. Young in
favor of Galloway, the rebel owner
Galloway was connseled aud assisted in
this procedure By one n s. FriersOn, 8
lawyer, whose intense zeal for the rebel
lion was shown by his taking an oath at
the outset that be would not cut bis hair
until the Confederaey was established,
and for q long time he walked the
streets With his hair streaming half way
down bis back Heis the same lawysr
who conducted the prosecution against
the girls for trespass and assault ard
battery, mentioned in the foregoing part
Of this order. Hei is malignant rebel,
and devotes his time and talents to
petty litigation, the object Of which is
twofold-frst, 20 Cypress the negroes;
and, second, to bring the military and
other authorities of the Government
into contempt He is nov under indiet-
ment for treason, bni is at large on bail.
Weleh, the justice though rebel in
sympathy, is msngof limited informa-

loway, and Frierson.. Galloway bears
the reputation of a man destitute of
principle, honor, aud loyalty. He was
| formerly note shaver aud negro-trader.
Galloway is the active man, Andrews
and Frierson the counselors, and Weleh
the instrumept This is the condition
which has set itself up in defiance Of the
authority OF the United States, and has
threatened its officers. These are the
officials aho, in thesgarb of officers and
administrators Of justice, have degraded
themselves to the position Of prosecutors

The malignant, rebellious spirit which
they have displayed, by their persecu-
ton of the weak and helpless, aud on
account of their ignorance Of or willful
violation of law they have shown them
selves TO be persons most dangerous to

worthy to longer so grossly misrepre-
sent law and justice.
It is therefore ordered tba. William

and turned over to the Provost Marshal

the kindness Of the GoYsrumsnt 10 re-
