day a man was arrested and taken before

abusive language. After the trial had
commenced, the prisoner said he was a
subject of Queen Victoria, aud did not
claim allegiance to the United States,
and therefore denied the right of the AL
derman to arrest and fine him. After
the prisoner had freely delivered his
views, he was informed that he was
within the jurisdiction of the city of
fcials, that a fine of ten dollars and costs
had been imposed upon him for a viola
tion of the city law, and that if said debt
vas not speedily liquidated he would
soon be within the jurisdiction of Jailor
Jones, on Fifth street. The British sub
iect declared that he never dcnic;i hisna
tionality, would not pay the tine assess
ed, and if he was imprisoned he would
enquire into the matter when released.
Notwithstanding all the protests of the
prisoner to the commitment, he was sent
to jail, and we presume our city will
have to put herself on the defensive
should foreign intervention be at
tempted by John Bull.

days since returned to this city from the
Southern army, vas yesterday arrested
By the United States Marshal, upon a ca
pias issued shortly after Grenr left here
with the Shriver Grays The writ upon
which he was arrested, holds Greer upon
an Indictment of the United States Court
for treason. As Greer has been regular
" paroled with Gen Lees men. and as he
has subsequently taken the amnesty oath,
of course the indictment for treason is
thereby quashed, and upon the asaemb'
ling of the United States Court he will
b9 discharged. In the meantime we pre-
sumo he will be released on bail.

4 Good Precedent,

The published determination Of the Clerk,
Mr.. McPhe1 son. not to place the names of the
members elect from the Southern States ON
the roll of the House of Representatives in
Congress, has brought to light through the
Cincinnati: Commercial similar incident in
Congressional history. From this incident
in the historical records fthe House. we learn
that on the I'd Of December, 1889, at the
opening of the 26th Congress, Hugh Garland,
clerk of the 26th Congress, refused to call the
because the seats of all the members of that
State were contested. For three days there
was an excited and wild debate, the House
being both unorganized and disorderly. On
the fourth day, the clerk was directed to call
the roll again, and commencing with Maine,
had proceeded according to the geographical
situation of the States as far as New Jersey,
and was about to say that he would not call
the names Of members of that State, when
John Quincy Adams, who bad not had any
thing to say about the controversy up TO that
moment suddenly took the floor and said
II rise to interrupt the clerk" Instantly
there was profound silence in the hall and Mr.
Adams said:
owe degrade and disgrace cur constituents
and the country because the clerk of the
House the mere clerk whom we employ and
whose existence depends upon our will,
usurps the throne and sets as, the represen-
ta:ives and Vicegerents Of the whole Ameri-
can people, at defiance and holds them in
contempt And what is this clerk of yours !?
Is he to suspend BY his mere negative the
functions of Government and put an end to
this Congress? lie refuses to call tue roll
1t is in your power to compel him to call it,
if he will not do it voluntarily. (Here Mr.
Adams was interrupted by member, who
said he was authorized to say that compulson
could not reach the clerk, who had avowed
that he would resign rather than call the State
l10f New Jersey.) Well, sir, let him resign"
continued Mr. Adams, land we may possibly
discover some way by which we can get
along without the aid of his all-powerful tai
cnts. learning and genius"
Mr. Adams submitted motion to require
Of the clerk to call the roll for the State of
New Jersey, and there was general out-cry
of GLOW shall the question be put?" All
knew the clerk would mott put it. Mr.. Adams
said II intend to put the question myself. That
solved the difficulty. Richard Barnwell Rhett,
of South Carolina, sprang upon desk, and
moved that the Hon. John Qincy Adams, Of
Massachusetts,, take the chair, as presiding
officer, and offciate until the House be Or
ganized by the election Of its constitutional
officers The motion was put and carried.
Mr. Adams was escorted to the chair. New
Jersey was called and the House organized.
We trust that if Mr. Mcpherson should
prove to be refra tory, and according to bis
avowed purpose endeavor to usurp the throne,
there will be manhood and patriotism enough
found among the conservatives of the House
to follow the precedent set by Mr. Adams.

pool, stopping at no other port. On arriving
Lear the port he took a pilot on board, and
finding the news Of the defeat Of the Confed-
eracy confirmed beyond all doubt, be desired
him to take the Shenandoah alongside man
of-war, If there was one in the river. The
ex-cruiser Was in consequence placed along
side the Donegal, and crew from that vessel
placed in charge of her, some customs officers
also being in charge with them. Immediate
iy after the surrender, Captain WaSde4i, his
officers and crew came on shore. AS she
came up the river, the Shenandoah excited
great attention, the sight Of the Confederate
ensign she carried being novelty. AS soon
as the necessary fofmaEties were concluded,
it was believed she would be handed over to-
the United States Government According
to various reports, Captain Waddell was
more than once told while cruising in the Pa
cifc Of the termination of the war, but as his
informants were the crews Of the Northern
vessels he destroyed, he refused to give cTHad-
ence to the statement. The crew ofthe Shen-
agtdoab, it is said, suffered much from hunger
and three are reported to have died from star,
7atlon.
TIE VESSEL SURRENDERED TO THE UNITED STATES
AUTHoRITIs.
The Shenandoah was surrendered TO the
American Consul on the 10th, who took for
NAL possession, and placed her under Captain
Freeman and crew of his own selection, to
convey the ship to New York.
TRE NEW MINIsTRY-sPEECH OF EARL RUSSELL.
Earl Russell attended the Lord Mayors
banquet on the 9th. In speech, he paid a
tribute to the memory Of Palmerseon. Ad-
Yerting to the last reconstruction Of the Cabi-
net, he said he had received the fullest sup
port from his colleagues, with the remark on
its policy that he trusted the country would
allow lime to consider the course they ought
to pursue, and he should abide by The prlnci-
Piles of his life. The Government deemed it
their duty to consult the wishes of the people,
and it would be for Parliament to consider
how far those were based on justice. He
thanked God the American war was over, and
he trusted the republic, now freed from the
sin of slavery, would SO on and prosper for
centuries to come.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The reception of Russell at the banquet was
a practical reply to the detraction which had
lately pursued the government. Russell's
language could only be used by men who feel
the important measures expected of them,
and are willing to encourage the hope.

couragement to the cause to reform.

GERS were unable to control them.
He says the Legislature has been memoriali1

if the troops are withdrawn.
The President replied that the troops woH
be Withdrawn when peace and order could
